Chapter 152 What Zhu Houzhao has, we have too
"Gee, gee, gee."

Streams of smoke and dust rolled up.

Nearly dozens of warriors in tight-fitting costumes rushed out from the city gate, attracting countless people's attention.

Flying fish suit and embroidered spring sword.

No one can fail to recognize such iconic equipment.

Jinyiwei.

This is no ordinary institution.

Moreover, this was not the first time that the Jinyiwei had been deployed on such a large scale in the past two days.

Anyone who is not a fool can tell that something big must be going on to make the Jinyiwei mobilize such a large number of elite soldiers.

Moreover, among the dozens of riders just now, the leader was unusual.

Especially those who were familiar with the situation in the Ming Dynasty, recognized it almost at a glance.

The four leaders were none other than the four great commanders of the Jinyiwei today, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise.

The four great commanders set out at the same time.

Except for Lu Bing who was left, it almost meant that all the Jinyiwei had come out.

This explains why people who saw it were so shocked.

"What happened?"

This question popped up in more than one person's mind.

In everyone's opinion, Mr. Yangming is about to go to Beijing now.

Troops from various countries have gathered in the capital.

In such a chaotic and complicated situation, the safety of the capital is obviously the top priority.

As the emperor's personal army, the Jinyiwei should, logically, focus all their attention on the safety of the capital.

How is it possible to transfer a large number of main forces away from the capital at this time?

"Did something big happen in Ming Dynasty?"

I don't know how many people made anxious guesses.

At the city gate, many people looked at the smoke and dust rolling away with strange expressions.

It is obvious that these people hiding in the crowd are spies sent by various forces.

"Oh? Gao Changsheng transferred all the Jinyiwei out of the capital?" In the palace, Zhu Houzhao raised his eyes.

Although all the important forces around him were transferred away, Zhu Houzhao did not seem too surprised.

"That's interesting."

Zhu Houzhao put down the pen in his hand and narrowed his eyes unconsciously.

"I have already reminded him at that time. With Gao Changsheng's intelligence, he should have heard that the Dragon Slaying Sword is in the hands of Tiedan Shenhou."

"Whether he used direct action or other means, Gao Changsheng's target should be Hulong Villa. Why did he let the Jinyiwei leave the city?"

Zhu Houzhao spoke with a smile on his face.

Indeed, Zhu Wusi was at the Hulong Villa outside the capital.

Since Gao Changsheng wanted the Dragon Slaying Sword, he should have gone for Zhu Wusi. Why would he make such an arrangement?

Also, what was his purpose in sending out all the Jinyiwei?
Is it for Daisy?
But Zhu Wusi thought about it and felt that it was unlikely.

"Your Majesty, do you need to contact Qinglong and others through special communication means to ask about Gao Changsheng's purpose?" Lu Bing said from the side.

Although Zhu Houzhao handed the Jinyiwei token to Gao Changsheng, it did not mean that Jinyiwei really belonged to Gao Changsheng. Whether Zhu Houzhao or Lu Bing wanted to contact them, they both had their own ways.

"No need."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand decisively: "What's the point of a game if you can see through all the details from the beginning?"

"Moreover, do you think Gao Changsheng is really that stupid that he would tell Qinglong and the others everything?" Zhu Houzhao sneered.

Without waiting for Lu Bing to reply, he spoke again:

"Okay, you don't have to worry about this anymore. If you contact Qinglong at this time, not only will you not get any information, it will only affect the cooperation between me and Gao Changsheng."

"Besides, I am also curious about what Gao Changsheng is selling in this gourd?"

"But now it seems that although Gao Changsheng said he came for the Dragon Slaying Sword, he must have other purposes."

"Interesting. I thought so. It's unlikely that Gao Changsheng would go to such great lengths just for a Dragon Slaying Sword whose secret he didn't know."

Lu Bing was stunned: "Your Majesty means that Gao Changsheng came to the Ming Dynasty for another purpose, another treasure more important than the Dragon Slaying Sword?"

Zhu Houzhao shook his head slightly:
"I don't know. Maybe there really is such an item. Or maybe Gao Changsheng left on purpose to set a trap for someone."

"But I have to say, my curiosity has really been aroused."

After saying this, Zhu Houzhao turned his head and asked: "Where is Cao Zhengchun?"

"According to the news, Eunuch Cao's team will be able to return to the capital in just a few days." A slightly sharp voice sounded softly.

"Very good." Zhu Houzhao nodded.

"Mobilize your forces and keep an eye on the situation of Jinyiwei and Gao Changsheng. If there is any movement, notify me immediately."

"Yes."

As the sound faded, the movement completely disappeared.

Neither Zhu Houzhao nor Lu Bing showed any surprise.

Zhu Houzhao smiled again:
"I guess, by now, the news that Gao Changsheng has mobilized the Jinyiwei has almost spread, right?"

"I'm afraid my uncle is getting restless now, right?"

As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao's face also showed a gloating expression.

The transfer of the Jinyiwei is actually not a big deal for many major forces, and at most it will attract some attention.

But adding Gao Changsheng on top of this would undoubtedly make things extremely complicated.

Gao Changsheng suddenly took control of the Jinyiwei, and the message this conveyed was really profound.

In fact, what Zhu Houzhao said was not wrong.

At this time, the Hulong Villa was already in chaos.

Figures kept shuttling back and forth in the villa.

Carrier pigeons with their wings spread kept flying up and down.

In the hall, Zhu Wusi stood at the top with a serious expression.

"Send out all the spies. I want to know all the movements of the Jinyiwei and their purpose."

"Most importantly, find out for me what kind of cooperation Gao Changsheng has reached with the imperial court, and why the emperor gave the Imperial Guard to Gao Changsheng."

"By the way, what is Gao Changsheng doing now?"

Zhu Wusi looked up suddenly and asked a question.

"Uh……"

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, the several black-clad spies who were waiting for orders suddenly paused.

Zhu Wushi suddenly felt something was wrong.

"What's the matter? Tell me!"

Zhu Wusi shouted angrily, almost roaring.

"Gao, Gao Changsheng is missing."

"what?"

A powerful true energy burst out, directly blowing several people away.

"You useless bastards, you can even lose a living person. What's the point of me keeping you?"

As he spoke, Zhu Wushi's voice was already filled with murderous intent.

For him, none of the recent events had gone smoothly.

In particular, Gao Changsheng suddenly got in touch with Zhu Houzhao.

It was like an alarm bell, ringing in his ears all the time.

Now that Gao Changsheng has suddenly disappeared, anyone who is not a fool can see that something is wrong.

How could Zhu Wusi remain calm?

"Master, Master, Gao Changsheng is too powerful. We dare not get close to him. Moreover, this time, Gao Changsheng disappeared suddenly. His subordinates are still in the posthouse, so..."

Before the voice could finish, Zhu Wusi interrupted it with a wave of his hand.

"I don't want to hear this nonsense, I just want the results."

"Go check right now. If you can't find Gao Changsheng's whereabouts, then you don't have to come back."

"Yes, sir. I obey your command."

"Also, go to the place where Xu Fengnian of Beiliang is staying and hand him a visiting card, saying that I am here in person to visit the Prince of Beiliang."

Zhu Wusi had obviously been completely cornered.

Although Xu Fengnian is not well-known nowadays, he is still considered a playboy in everyone's eyes.

Moreover, he is different from Gao Changsheng. Although Gao Changsheng is young, he has already made a name for himself with his own abilities.

No one in the world dares to look down on him because of his age.

In contrast, Xu Fengnian is a younger generation.

Even if Zhu Wusi wanted to borrow strength from Beiliang, common sense would not allow him to go there in person so anxiously. He should at least send other people to test the waters first.

But it is obvious that Zhu Wusi no longer cares about things like face.

"Also, contact Wan Sanqian through special channels as soon as possible and tell him that I need his help. I hope he will come to the capital as soon as possible to meet me."

"clank."

The clear and moving sound resounded in the air.

A ray of sword light fell from the sky, as flawless as the blue sky and white clouds.

No matter sword skills, knife skills, or other strange weapons, the purpose of their creation is to kill people.

Therefore, any weapon, once used, will inevitably carry a sharp murderous aura.

But at this moment, if anyone else saw the scene before them, they probably wouldn't have such a feeling.

This unique sword light did not contain any trace of murderous aura.

It was said to be sword light, but it looked more like clouds or the moon.

It does not carry any of the worldly air. But if you are an opponent and feel the sword light yourself, you will understand how terrifying it is.

Although the moves are beautiful, each and every one of them can accurately target the fatal points on the body.

The emotions of experience came to me like a thorn in my flesh.

It is obvious that such a beautiful scene is just an illusion, and what really exists behind the white clouds is a terrible murderous intent from beginning to end.

"Om."

The moment the sword light rises.

A loud sound of a knife also exploded instantly.

It came down from the air and hit the sword edge squarely, making a crisp sound.

But there was no aura vibration around.

"brush."

In less than a breath, the sword light that was deflected by the collision between the swords turned back again and stabbed out again at a strange angle.

The moves are different, the angles are different, but the only thing that is the same is the still flawless artistic conception and brilliance.

In the Ming Dynasty, there is only one person who can radiate such sword light and possess such flawless sword intent.

Ye Gucheng, the Lord of Baiyun City.

No one could have imagined that the famous Lord of Baiyun City would suddenly appear in this remote place and fight against others.

What was even more surprising was the person sitting opposite him.

If Zhu Wusi or his spies were here, they would definitely be shocked.

At this time, the person standing opposite Ye Gucheng was wearing a gorgeous flying fish suit.

And what he held in his hand was also an embroidered spring sword.

Flying fish suit and embroidered spring sword.

This is the standard equipment of Jinyiwei.

But at this moment, the face of the person who swung the knife was clearly not anyone among the Jinyiwei, but Gao Changsheng.

Yes, the one fighting with Ye Gucheng at this time was Gao Changsheng, whose sudden disappearance had made Zhu Wusi furious.

"Zheng, Zheng, Zheng."

The swords kept colliding, making crisp sounds.

I'm afraid no one would have thought that Gao Changsheng and Ye Gucheng, two people who seemed to have nothing in common, would actually fight in such an uninhabited place.

But if you look carefully, you can see it.

Although the fight between the two was fierce at this time, there was not even the slightest fluctuation of the aura in the field.

Not to mention any Dharma image.

It was obvious that the two people in the field were engaging in a pure duel of moves. It did not look like a life-and-death battle, but more like a competition.

"brush."

After another sword fight.

Gao Changsheng suddenly stopped and retracted the blade that was originally raised high.

Seeing this scene, Ye Gucheng on the opposite side was stunned for a moment, and then he also retracted the sword in his hand.

The sword intent that had been rising continuously and was about to reach its peak disappeared in an instant.

"The Fairy from Heaven is indeed worthy of its reputation."

Gao Changsheng chuckled and spoke.

During the fight between the two just now, Ye Gucheng did not use this ultimate move that he had studied all his life.

However, as the sword intent continues to be stimulated, some clues can be seen.

"What a pity, I didn't see the world-famous Purple Thunder Blade."

Ye Gucheng spoke calmly.

He naturally knew the reason why Gao Changsheng stopped.

This time, the two sides only exchanged some moves.

Of course, the Flying Fairy from the Sky can be used, but this kind of sword move without true energy and without moving the Dharma image can not be considered the pinnacle after all.

That's why Gao Changsheng took back the knife in his hand at the last moment.

Of course, if Ye Gucheng took the initiative and invited the other party to fight with all his strength, he believed that the other party would definitely not refuse.

But it was obvious that Ye Gucheng didn't have that idea for the time being.

After all, Ye Gucheng had a special purpose, and the most important point was that Gao Changsheng used a knife.

Although the clash of swords and sabers can also prove the power of swords, it is definitely not as good as the clash of real swordsmen, especially for a pure swordsman like Ye Gucheng.

"Lord Baiyun, you suddenly made an appointment with me. What is your purpose?"

Gao Changsheng spoke softly.

The reason why he appeared here was because Ye Gucheng took the initiative to invite him.

"General Gao's subordinate, Purple-Robed Dragon King Daiqisi, is in Ye's hands."

Ye Gucheng didn't beat around the bush and directly told her about Daiqisi.

"Oh?"

Gao Changsheng snorted. He had expected this to happen, so it wasn't surprising to him.

All he was thinking about at this moment was Ye Gucheng's purpose.

In the original novel, Ye Gucheng has always stood on the side of the Southern King, and even participated in a rebellion and assassination attempt for the sake of his disciple, the Southern King's Prince.

If we follow the original novel purely, then the reason why Ye Gucheng came to him this time was naturally for the King of the South.

But Gao Changsheng noticed something wrong.

"This is a misunderstanding. I don't want to be an enemy of General Gao, but I didn't know Dai Qisi's identity beforehand."

"Although she was captured by Ye, we have always treated her with courtesy."

Gao Changsheng chuckled and nodded. In this matter, there was really no need for Ye Gucheng to lie.

"I wonder what City Lord Ye's purpose is?"

Gao Changsheng was too lazy to play any clever tricks and asked directly.

"This time, Ye came here just to make a good relationship with General Gao."

"As for the rest, as long as the general nods, someone will contact you."

Ye Gucheng spoke softly.

"Who is behind City Lord Ye?"

Gao Changsheng looked casual and smiled.

"Ye cannot explain this matter for the time being."

Ye Gucheng shook his head: "Looking at General Gao's attire, he should have cooperated with the Ming Dynasty court."

“What Ye wants to say, what Ye has and can provide is definitely not inferior to the court.”

"Whatever Zhu Houzhao has, we also have." Ye Gucheng said, holding the sword.

When Gao Changsheng heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

From this sentence, Gao Changsheng could be sure that Ye Gucheng definitely did not come on behalf of the King of the South.

"City Lord Ye has aroused my interest. Very good. I will wait and see. I hope the forces behind City Lord Ye will not let me down."

"nature."

Ye Gucheng still held the sword in both hands, but a smile appeared on his face.

"In that case, I will take my leave. I have already released the general's subordinates and they will return on their own."

"By the way, before I leave, I'll tell the general a piece of news as a personal apology from Ye."

"Since General Gao accepted Daiqisi, he must have become interested in Xie Xun and the Dragon Slaying Sword."

"That day, Ye and the other party fought a battle on the Spirit Snake Island, but in the end, he only captured Daiqisi. As for Xie Xun and the Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand, they fell into the hands of the other party."

"I haven't found out who that party is, but we have already traced those Persians and Japanese swordsmen."

Hearing this, Gao Changsheng also raised his eyes.

Zhu Wusi's relationship with Yagyu Tajima no Kami and the Persian Mingjiao has always been kept very secret.

It is not surprising that Ye Gucheng is not clear.

However, from what Ye Gucheng said at this time, could it be that Yagyu Tajima-no-kami did not return to the capital with the Dragon Slaying Sword?

No matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem quite reasonable.

Ye Gucheng certainly didn't know what Gao Changsheng was thinking at this moment.

Instead, he gently opened his lips and spoke out a location through telepathy.

Gao Changsheng's eyes lit up again.

"Interesting, it turned out to be this place."

After muttering to himself softly, Gao Changsheng looked up at Ye Gucheng with a smile.

"I have received City Lord Ye's kindness."

"In that case, see you later." Ye Gucheng bowed slightly.

After he finished speaking, Ye Gucheng's figure disappeared rapidly from the spot with a step.

"See you later."

Gao Changsheng raised his head slightly, looked at Ye Gucheng's receding figure, and smiled meaningfully.

Until Ye Gucheng's figure completely disappeared.

A graceful figure in purple clothes appeared in the field tremblingly.

"General, general..."

Daiqisi bent slightly and spoke with some trembling.

Gao Changsheng just glanced at Daiqisi lightly, but didn't blame her for anything.

He just took a step forward calmly, and after being stunned for a moment, Daiqisi reacted and followed Gao Changsheng.

ps. There is one more update, a little later, I am coding, alas...
