"You just mentioned Gong Jiu."

Ye Gucheng was wearing white clothes, and his face was also very white, either pale or pale, but white like white jade.

He wore the hair crown of a sandalwood mount, his eyes were unstunning, like the deep ocean in the night, and there was no sound when he walked.

To sum up - it's just a handsome word.

"yes."

"Ming Jiu." Ye Gucheng read it again. He walked in front of the black-clad swordsman to lead him. "You are very familiar with him?"

"I'm not familiar with it." Shi Lu shook his head, "I just met him some time ago."

"That's a very terrible person." Ye Gucheng nodded, "You should know that Baiyun City mainly relies on doing business."

"I've heard of it, is it shipping?"

"That's right."

"In addition to shipping, Baiyun City also sells some pearl corals salvaged from the sea to the Central Plains."

Ye Gucheng brought Shi Lu to his residence in the royal palace. As mentioned earlier, the prince of Zhennan Prince's Mansion worshipped him as his teacher, so he should prepare a residence for his master.

"Ten years ago, there was a ship in Baiyun City that deviated from the channel because of a storm. That ship was very important, so I went to find it myself."

The room was not lit, it was pitch black, but it had no effect on the actions of the two top swordsmen.

"I searched for twenty days and finally went to an island." Ye Gucheng said, "It is not far from Baiyun City, but no one has discovered this island for so many years."

"Ten years ago?" Shi Lu looked at him, "You are still in your teens."

"Yes, but my martial arts were not weak at that time." Ye Gucheng seemed to recall very bad memories, "The owner of the island is Gong Jiu."

"The boat finally followed me back, and Baiyun City gave a pier here."

"You lost."

"I lost."

"Nothing is important." Ye Gucheng suddenly turned around and looked at Shi Lu, "No matter how strong Gong Jiu's power is or how powerful he is, it is not the most important thing."

"He is the prince of Taiping."

"Yes." Ye Gucheng nodded, "He is the prince of Taiping, and he also wants that position! He has even made a lot of preparations for this. Over the years, I have been competing with him for power both openly and secretly."

"But I believe he is always inferior to you!"

The light was suddenly lit up, not by Shilu, nor by Ye Gucheng, but by the owner of the sound just now.

There were two people sitting in the room, one was the King of Southern and the other was the Prince of Southern.

The one who just spoke was the King of Nan.

"I wonder if this person is?" King Nan sat on a chair wearing a gorgeous purple silk dress, stroked his beard, and looked at Shi Lu, "Will you not introduce it to us?"

"Congratulations to the public." Ye Gucheng said.

He no longer needs to say anything more. Could it be that he would say more with He Guiping's reputation?

The Southern King's eyes immediately lit up, "Is this a swordsman who is as famous as you and Ximen Chuxue?"

"I'm not as good as him." Ye Gucheng shook his head.

As for Ximen Chuxue, he didn't know.

"He Guizhan wants to join us too?" The prince of the Southern King suddenly spoke. He looked at the swordsman in black with the same eyes as he looked at the goods. No, it was more like looking at the slave.

He already knew that he looked exactly the same as the current emperor, and regarded it as his capital, and felt that he was very great, as if he had already sat above the ten thousand people, and no one else was as noble as him.

The King of Southern did not stop his son, he also wanted to know the answer to the question, and felt that the prince should be so arrogant.

Two idiots.

Ye Gucheng touched the hilt of his sword.

"He Guiteng is my confidant." He finally held back and wanted to take action in the palace. These two people were indispensable. "When I first became the Lord of Baiyun City, he already knew my life experience."

"Okay, great!" The King of Nan laughed, "We have a little more chance of winning!"

"Next fifteenth month, I will have an appointment with Ximen Chuxue to duel in Purple Gold Mountain."

"Purple Gold Mountain?" asked the Prince of the Southern King, "Why not in the Forbidden City?"

"That's too deliberate." Ye Gucheng glanced at him, "When everyone knows the news, the location will be set at the top of the Forbidden City."

"Isn't that the roof of the Taihe Palace? Why is it there?"

Although Ye Gucheng was arrogant, he seemed to have learned how to face two idiots. When he heard this question, he just said lightly, "Because this battle is for others to see, because this place is close to the place where the emperor lives!"

"Okay." The King of Nan kept laughing, "I have already sent a letter to Wang An, and he is also ready!"

Ye Gucheng suddenly reached out to pull Shi Lu's sleeve and pulled him out of his room.

He originally thought there was no one here, but now he has to change his place again.

"Who is Wang An?"

"It's the eunuch around the emperor." Ye Gucheng was particularly patient in answering Shi Lu's questions, as if he was two people just now. "He is not only very confusing, but also prostitutes! So he was bribed."

"Why are you working with the King of Southern?"

Shi Lu certainly knew why, but He Guichi didn't know, so he could only ask.

In this world, Shi Lu grew up from a child, but now, he took a boat to the South China Sea when he was a teenager and met Ye Gucheng, the teenage lord of Baiyun City, on the beach.

After getting to know each other, Ye Gucheng seemed to be sure that he didn't care about the imperial power or the opinions of others, so he told Shi Lu about his identity as a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty.

Shi Lu was very interested in the rebellion, so he happily told Ye Gucheng that he wanted to help him.

Although I don’t know what Ye Gucheng misunderstood, their relationship has been better than that of a confidant since then.

Ye Gucheng accumulated much more than originally. After the demise of the previous dynasty, many secret chess were buried. The military generals alone accounted for half of the court's supposed to have, and there were also many civil officials.

Baiyun City's business is getting bigger and bigger. Although it is an overseas island, its income is gradually comparable to that of the national treasury and it is also related to the Hua family in Jiangnan.

In this case, it seems to be a sure win.

But Ye Gucheng's opponent became Gong Jiu.

Hearing his words, it seemed that he knew that Gong Jiu had been to the nameless island of Gong Jiu before he met Shi Lu. He was so afraid that after touching a corner of Gong Jiu's huge forces, he began to fight decisively.

"The prince of the Southern King looks exactly the same as the emperor in the capital."

"So what?" Shi Lu tried his best to play a swordsman who only has a sword in his heart but does not understand power. "What does it have to do with him if you want that position?"

"Ximen Chuxue and I are fighting on the top of the Forbidden City. The big guard led by Wei Ziyun will definitely go and see it." Ye Gucheng stood still under the moonlight, his eyes filled with unshakable ambition and arrogance. "The Prince of Southern King threw a smoke bomb to the Emperor and Gong Jiu. In this way, I can know what they have to do."

"Um."

"We can also take this to solve the problem of two people who want the throne."

"That's why you promised to become the master of the Prince of the Southern King?"

"yes."

"Okay." The swordsman in black nodded, "What can I help you?"

"You don't have to help me, as long as you stand there, you will be the biggest bargaining chip!"

After saying this, Ye Gucheng suddenly stopped talking.

Because he had heard a sound coming from afar, and the sound was getting closer and closer, it was obvious that someone had come over.

"I really don't understand."

"Don't understand what?"

"I don't understand why the new head of the royal palace would not invite my friends to taste the wine in the wine warehouse!"

Jin Jiuling smiled.

"I have prepared three jars of fine wines, all of which are aged. If you want to drink, just drink them!"

Of course, the people who came were Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou and Jin Jiuling.

"He Guitiao, you are here!" Lu Xiaofeng immediately waved to him when he saw Shi Lu, "Jin Jiuling has prepared a big table of dishes, are you going?"

Jin Jiuling could only smile bitterly. He only said that he had prepared wine. When did he say that he had prepared dishes?

This is obviously Lu Xiaofeng is cheating people.

But he could only bite the bullet and ask someone to prepare again. Who asked him to ask Lu Xiaofeng? Who asked him to be the first arrester of the Six Gates? Who told the embroidery thief to not catch him?

"City Lord Ye is also together?" Lu Xiaofeng asked again.

"good."

After a moment, everyone sat in the pavilion in the garden.

Jin Jiuling has money, which can solve most of the world's affairs, including waking up a chef to cook late at night, so a table of good dishes has been set up here.

"He Guiteng, you must not know what happened later." Lu Xiaofeng held the wine pot in one hand and poured wine into the cup with the other hand, holding his chin with the other, looking very casual, "You must have thought that Huo Xiu did the things in the Jinpeng Dynasty!"

"Huo Xiu?" the swordsman in black asked, even if everyone could see that he was not curious at all.
