[Comprehensive martial arts] Gentle sword

Chapter 39

In September, the capital was crowded with martial arts people from all over the Central Plains. Those who came early and those who came late booked all the inns, large and small, and stayed until after September [-]th.The inns made a lot of money, and all the shopkeepers laughed so hard that they showed their back molars.And these Jianghu people came to the capital for one thing.

Hope to be able to watch this peerless battle.

It is obvious that the sword competition is a matter between two people, but in the end it becomes a game field for everyone. It must be unbearable for the two parties who are both noble and aloof.At least Xie Wan thought so.As long as she thought of Ye Chengzhu's cold face, she felt that he would be angry because of it.Xie Wan used Ye Gucheng as an excuse, and the group finally arrived in the capital. As September [-]th approached, Xie Wan, who originally used this as a cover to set up a stage to sing for herself, was also concerned about Ye Gucheng.

He was good to her, and the friendship should not be too shallow for a person like him who is so cold-hearted.

Seeing your friend step by step towards the established fate, knowing that he will die, how could Xie Wan remain indifferent.But her position is embarrassing, just like someone who has been able to see the secrets of the sky from beginning to end, who is more aware of the ruthlessness of heaven in the face of fate and cannot intervene.

At this time, Xie Wan hoped that there would be more examples like Xue Bing, maybe Ye Gucheng still had hope of surviving.

Knowing what Xie Wan was thinking, the system was a little worried that she would intervene in this matter, and took the initiative to remind her, [Ah Wan, even if the fate of other people in this world deviates from the original plan, this can be attributed to the world itself. loopholes and uncertainties, but you must not change it.You and I are both outsiders. Once you try to change this world, you will be strangled immediately by the Dao of Heaven. 】

【Xie Wan: I know, I have seen so much along the way, how could I not know.I'm just... just sighing. 】

【Xie Wan: Sometimes after watching too much, you will feel afraid and feel small. 】

Xie Wan was vague, but the system understood what she meant.

Xie Wan bent her lips and smiled, teasing Tong'er in her family, 【Oh, Tong'er is the best, what would I do without you. 】

The system molested its host in a muffled voice. Anyway, after A Wan finished molesting, it would still be a good system with integrity and kindness.

Xie Wan and the others came to the capital a little earlier than most people from the rivers and lakes, so they lived comfortably in a room in a pretty good inn in the capital.In just a few days, they also witnessed the overcrowded scene of the inn and restaurant.

Tian'er clicked her tongue: "I thought these two people were powerful, but I didn't expect so many people to come and see them just because they were fighting swords."

Hu Tiehua laughed: "Tian'er, you don't understand now, there is still a bet secretly in the capital about the winning or losing of these two people, and the two leading forces betting the most are Li Yanbei and Du Tongxuan, two forces from the north and south of the capital." Then he He told Tian'er about the current odds.

After hearing this, Tian'er murmured, if she followed the bet and won, wouldn't she be able to earn a lot of money.

Chu Liuxiang smiled: "That's right, Li Yanbei bet 60 taels of silver, and the other small heads also bet a lot, which is really a terrible amount." Hu Tiehua said, no one here is Ji Bingyan's iron cock, but When normal people hear such a large amount of silver, it is inevitable that they will be a little eager to try.

Chu Liuxiang turned her head and asked Xie Wan who was sitting beside her: "Where is Ah Wan, do you want to bet?"

Chu Liuxiang was the first to ask Xie Wan, naturally because of what she said that day that she would rather like a cold and not gentle person, Chu Liuxiang pointed to Ye Gucheng and she did not deny it.They will be in the capital at the moment, and the cause is also this battle.Chu Liuxiang thought that Xie Wan was the one who was most concerned about this matter among them.

Xie Wan groaned: "If I want to win, I will bet on Ximen Chuuxue."

Although there was no real rivalry in the final battle, Ye Gucheng was dead after all, and if there was a winner, it would be Ximen Chuuxue.

Chu Liuxiang, Hongxiu, and Hu Tiehua all choked, unbelievable that Xie Wan chose to bet on Ximen Chuixue to win.Not to mention the current situation, there are more people who bet on Ye Gucheng to win. Didn't they like Ye Gucheng by default when they were asked before, why did they bet on his opponent to win?

...Or as long as you have a cold personality?

Tian'er said: "Really? I listened to Wanwan, and I will bet 50 taels later."

Xie Wan agreed: "Then I'll give Tian'er another 50 taels, let's put together a whole hundred bets."

Chu Liuxiang suddenly felt that Xie Wan would acquiesce at that time, maybe he made up some excuses to make him quit.

How can anyone be so cruel to the person they like.

The system was also stunned.

【system:? ? ? 】

【Xie Wan: I just think that since he can't be saved, let's do something meaningful. 】

Gain money by betting on him? ? ?

At this moment, a female voice shouted: "Hu Tiehua!"

Everyone looked back one after another. When Hu Tiehua saw each other, his scalp tightened instantly and he was about to jump up from his chair.

Chu Liuxiang, Ji Bingyan, and Hu Tiehua were famous when they were young. Chu Liuxiang is the most romantic and the girl likes the most, but this does not mean that no one likes Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan.But what's funny is that the girl Ji Bingyan likes fell in love with Hu Tiehua, and she chased her for three years until Hu Tiehua plunged into the desert.Now that they meet again in the capital after a few years, it seems that they have gone in a circle and returned to the past.

Chu Liuxiang was slightly taken aback: "It's Gao Yanan."

Leaving aside the intricate relationship between Gao Yanan, Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan, they are very good friends.When Hu Tiehua saw her, he was more surprised than happy, but Chu Liuxiang was the other way around.Gao Yanan, who is known as the female swordsman of Qingfeng in the world, made a set of delicate and elegant "Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng" swordsmanship, and those who use swords will definitely come to see this duel.

Chu Liuxiang smiled, why didn't he think of it before.

After many years of absence, Gao Yanan's heroic and beautiful face has become more mature through the years, making her look more charming.But she looked at Hu Tiehua with such sincerity and affection, and her slightly raised eyes were dazzlingly bright.At least forced Hu Tiehua away.He turned around and flew out from the window on the second floor.

"Gao Yanan, you are here too!" Chu Liuxiang greeted Gao Yanan.

Because Hu Tiehua ran away again, Gao Yanan's face was not very good-looking, and she responded in a muffled voice: "Of course I will come."

Chu Liuxiang smiled: "Indeed."

Gao Yanan turned his eyes and saw the other three girls who were at the same table as Chu Liuxiang. After a little thought, he knew that they were his three beauties.As an old friend, Gao Yanan certainly knew of the existence of the three girls. She greeted Xie Wan and the others: "Hello, I am Gao Yanan."

Hongxiu and Tian'er naturally knew Gao Yanan, Chu Liuxiang's friend, and her relationship with Hu Tiehua. Chu Liuxiang always laughed and talked about the friends he made outside and the things he experienced.But seeing Hu Tiehua run away from the window in fright was still a surprise to Hongxiu and the others. The two girls were taken aback before greeting Gao Yanan.Xie Wan also greeted Gao Yanan, but when she introduced her, she mentioned Su Rongrong's name, which left everyone in a daze except for Gao Yanan who didn't know.

Chu Liuxiang glanced at Xie Wan unexpectedly.

Xie Wan smiled slightly at Gao Yanan, but did not respond to Chu Liuxiang's gaze.

After a while, Gao Yanan seemed to be in a better mood, maybe she has also gotten used to Hu Tiehua's attitude of avoiding her every time.She asked Chu Liuxiang: "You also came here for the sword competition between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng?"

Chu Liuxiang shrugged and smiled, "Who isn't?"

Gao Yanan responded, "That's right."

Which one of the people who came to the capital now is not for this showdown?

After chatting for a while, Gao Yanan bid them farewell, obviously still going to find Hu Tiehua.Chu Liuxiang laughed, and stood up: "I'll go too. When we meet an old friend, his reaction is too unmanly."

Gao Yanan snorted coldly.

Chu Liuxiang touched his nose and asked the three girls sitting: "Are you going?"

Hongxiu waved her hand, and now the lights are on, and they are tired of seeing the night scene of the capital these days, and they don't want to squeeze around with people anymore.When Hongxiu said that, Tian'er couldn't agree, and finally only Xie Wan agreed.Hongxiu and Tian'er told Chu Liuxiang and Xie Wan to be careful outside and come back earlier.

In such a large capital city, Gao Yanan was alone, Chu Liuxiang and Xie Wan were together, and the two separated to find Hu Tiehua who was hiding somewhere.

There were so many people that the two had to stay close together.The people around me have gentle eyebrows, and the lights are reflected in their eyes, which are more touching than any prosperity in the world.Due to the atmosphere, Chu Liuxiang let out her previous doubts: "...Why did you introduce yourself as Rongrong just now?"

Xie Wan glanced at Chu Liuxiang and said calmly, "I'm not."

Of course she is.But Xie Wan's answer did not actually answer his question.

When Chu Liuxiang found Rong Rong again, she changed her identity and chose a new life. Even in front of Chu Liuxiang, she had more emotions other than gentleness before. She would be angry and indifferent. It was difficult for Chu Liuxiang to adapt at first, but later she accepted them one by one.

No matter how gentle a person is, he also has his own emotions. Since these are the karma he planted by himself, it is only natural for him to bear them.Accustomed to Awan's indifferent attitude toward him, Chu Liuxiang began to reflect on the past slowly.Perhaps having experienced the worst situation, Chu Liuxiang felt that her attitude towards him had softened.

Naturally, it was Awan who softened her heart.

For example, in front of Gao Yanan, she finally chose to introduce herself as Su Rongrong instead of her new Xie Wan.Chu Liuxiang was even willing to be affectionate, thinking that she couldn't bear to embarrass herself.People can't help but keep some thoughts and extravagant hopes for themselves.

"What are you laughing at?" Xie Wan was a little puzzled.

Chu Liuxiang smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing. A Wan is right." As he spoke, Chu Liuxiang carefully protected Xie Wan in the crowded crowd so that no one would bump into her.

A Wan is Rong Rong, and Chu Liuxiang has gradually accepted this recognition calmly.

【Xie Wan: Gao Yanan is here, hold Hu Tiehua, it will be much easier for us to do it. 】

[System: Do you want to do it here? 】

【Xie Wan: That's not too late, don't worry, I think it will only be a day or two. 】

Xie Wan asked, "Where can we find Hu Tiehua?"

Regarding this point, Chu Liuxiang replied firmly: "Of course it is a place where he can drink good wine."

As Chu Liuxiang said, restaurants are the most likely place to find a drunkard like Hu Tiehua.And after they went to several restaurants, they also found Hu Tiehua.As expected, Hu Tiehua was drinking, and when he saw Chu Liuxiang, he subconsciously wanted to run away, but he let out a sigh of relief when he saw that there was only Xie Wan beside him and no one else.

"If you don't come over with the front foot, you should inform Gao Yanan with the back foot."

Chu Liuxiang raised her eyebrows: "Am I that kind of person?"

Hu Tiehua said firmly: "You are."

When friends are good to a certain extent, there are bad friends, and they will indeed make some harmless jokes.

Chu Liuxiang poured himself a glass of wine, and laughed at Hu Tiehua: "You are still so afraid of others after all these years."

Hu Tiehua waved his hand: "I'm cheap, okay?"

Seeing them drinking, Xie Wan also felt a little greedy, she said to Chu Liuxiang, "Pour me a glass too, please."

Hu Tiehua stared and shouted: "Rongrong, when did you become a drunkard like us? What a shame, old bug, you may have unconsciously cultivated a guy who is more gluttonous than us."

The fact that Xie Wan faked amnesia was already a well-known secret among several people, and she never mentioned it on her own initiative, but it was inevitable that she missed it a few times.Hu Tiehua never knew that Rongrong still liked to drink, so she was shocked and called out Rongrong's name.

Chu Liuxiang was also very surprised, so she asked, "When did you become fond of drinking?"

Xie Wan said in her heart, it has always been, it's just that she held back too hard in the past.

"Later, after trying it, I found that there is indeed a beauty that makes people covetous. Besides, wine is not a bad thing."

Hu Tiehua laughed loudly and clinked glasses with Xie Wan: "That's right!"

Chu Liuxiang also smiled.

At first the two men only thought that Xie Wan's drinking capacity was average, but in the end they both drank a little bit, only to realize that they were wrong in judging people by their appearance, their faces began to turn red, and she still sat still with a faint smile.

Hu Tiehua gave Xie Wan a thumbs up: "Amazing...! I admire you, Rongrong!"

By this time the night was already deep, and they drank the last jug of wine.Chu Liuxiang supported Hu Tiehua, who was a little drunk, and walked with Xie Wan on the quiet street after the crowd receded.

There was no shortage of chats on the way back.

Chu Liuxiang said: "Now they are all saying that Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng have already arrived in the capital."

"But no one has seen them."

"Yes." Chu Liuxiang tilted her head and asked Xie Wan, "So what does Awan think?"

Xie Wan was thinking about the possibility of succeeding in stabbing Chu Liuxiang at this moment, when she heard this, she responded naturally: "I believe they have already arrived."

"Why did Ah Wan want to bet on Ximen Chuuxue before?" Chu Liuxiang opened this topic with a smile, he was both puzzled and curious about it.

"I feel that Ximen Chuuxue will win." That's all Xie Wan could say.After being reminded by Chu Liuxiang, Xie Wan remembered what she had promised Tian'er.

"Tomorrow, I'll ask Tian'er if I want to bet." 100 taels... I don't know how much I can earn after the final odds are set.

Chu Liuxiang couldn't stop laughing, and brushed off the fallen leaves on Xie Wan's head, her words and deeds revealed intimacy.

"You..."

[System: Ah Wan, wait, don't hold the dagger yet. 】

[Xie Wan:? 】

The system finally had time to give an early warning this time, and it was also a little afraid of someone who was erratic.

[System: Ye Gucheng. 】

Xie Wan was taken aback for a moment, and when she raised her head, she saw the sword fairy in white not far away.

【Xie Wan: ...Tong'er, please speak sooner next time. 】

System: ... Well, maybe it seems that there is no time.

Xie Wan looked at Ye Gucheng in silence, a little worried that he heard that he had bet on his opponent to win.If so, Xie Wan felt that if City Lord Ye could throw away his friendship in an instant and swing a sword at her, it would be a move to fly from the sky.

Ye Gucheng's forehead twitched invisibly, and stared at Xie Wan with an indescribably complicated gaze.

"You came to the capital too?"

Xie Wan didn't dare to say more, so she nodded.

City Lord Ye, who was not in a good mood, ignored the joy in his heart when he saw Xie Wan, and it was rare for him to speak so bluntly.

"It seems to be because of the battle between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue."

... He really heard it.

Xie Wan was a little desperate.
