Chapter 51 Shallow Shift
On the way back to Baiyun City, the three of them didn't encounter any unexpected accidents. From time to time, recent news from the rivers and lakes reached their ears, but generally it had nothing to do with them.
The relationship between Xie Wan and Ye Gucheng was tacitly suspended by the two people, and a cause was planted, but what kind of result it will bear will not be known until later.Both of them have their own persistence and plans in their hearts.All this was going on in secret, and both of them were introverted, so the accompanying Erwu didn't notice it from the beginning to the end.
Recently, major incidents have happened frequently in the Jianghu. Ximen Chuixue killed Dugu Yihe in the first place, followed by Lu Xiaofeng who revealed the truth, and Huo Xiu's conspiracy in Jewelry and Jewelery Pavilion was revealed. No matter which restaurant they rest in, as long as there are Jianghu people, there will be There are people discussing these topics.
The last time Xie Wan was too busy to take care of herself, even though the exact same thing happened at this moment, she didn't pay much attention to it.Looking at it now, it was like re-enacting the excerpts of a play, Xie Wan couldn't help but feel a little dull.She looked around, her eyes flicked among the enthusiastic crowd, and finally fell on Ye Gucheng who was sitting directly opposite.
Ye Gucheng never eats much when he is away. He only uses his chopsticks more when he encounters a restaurant that suits his taste in a prosperous place, and he is even a little picky in the rest of the time.At this moment, he also didn't eat much after moving his chopsticks a few times. Xie Wan suddenly felt that there might be such a factor in the fact that Ye Gucheng's Chang Ju Nan Seafood seldom set foot in the Central Plains before.
Ye Gucheng noticed that Xie Wan was looking at her, so he looked back: "What's wrong."
Xie Wan smiled and shook her head: "No, I'm listening to those people talk about the recent major events in the Jianghu, and I'm a little fascinated."
Hearing this, Ye Gucheng glanced at Xie Wan, knowing that she opened her mouth again, so she casually said a perfunctory sentence.Ye Gucheng didn't know that Xie Wan's attention was on his picky eating habits.
"interested?"
Before Xie Wan could answer, another waiter who was not the same guy who served the dishes just now came over with a plate.After hearing the conversation between Ye Gucheng and Xie Wan on his plain face, he made a very exaggerated and disdainful expression.
"The guests are talking about Lu Xiaofeng? Let me see, that Lu Xiaofeng is nothing special..."
After hearing this, Xie Wan couldn't help but smiled with interest: "Why do you say that?"
Xiao Er rolled his eyes, as if he was very satisfied with the fact that someone praised him, and he didn't mind talking more.
"Then it started a long time ago. That Daxia Lu called a womanly name like 'Xiaofeng'. It was even worse if the guest officials didn't know his original name. Lu Xiaofeng was later given to himself by himself. Changed his name, his original name was Lu Xiaoji... Ouch!"
The other party was talking, and suddenly burst into a foul language.
There was already a sword in front of him, the tip of the sword was only about an inch away from his dishonest hand, if it wasn't for the tip of the sword being firmly clamped by the other two slender fingers at the critical moment, the waiter in the shop would have touched it. The hand holding the jade pendant on Xie Wan's waist couldn't keep it.
Xie Wan smiled and let go of Xiao Er's hand, and took back his jade pendant with the character Wan from the other party's hand.
Ye Gucheng withdrew his long sword, looked at the person holding his sword with only two fingers: "Lu Xiaofeng."
If there is anyone in the world who can catch Ye Gucheng's sword empty-handed, it must be Lu Xiaofeng.
Lu Xiaofeng smiled and stroked his two beards: "It's me. So the Lord Baiyun knows me."
After finishing speaking, he turned back to the "little two" and said mockingly: "Monkey spirit, it seems that I won this time, and I also saved you by the way." Lu Xiaofeng mockingly blinked at Sikong Zhaixing and signaled He looked at his hand that was almost pierced by Ye Gucheng's sword.
The waiter in the shop, that is, Sikong Zaixing, stamped his feet on the spot angrily, cursing and saying that Lu Xiaofeng had a bad luck.As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Sikong Zhaixing shuddered. He realized that this description seemed to scold the Baiyun City Lord who was sitting in the seat.The guards around Ye Gucheng were already staring at him. Although Ye Gucheng himself didn't express it, Sikong Zhaixing had lingering fears about the sword heart in his hand.
Xie Wan's originally smiling expression suddenly changed.
Ye Gucheng withdrew his sword: "Ah Wan?"
Xie Wan smiled stiffly, gnashing her teeth in her gentleness, vowing to stab Lu Xiaofeng this time.Xie Wan made the worst plan after the semi-showdown with Ye Gucheng, but Ye Gucheng let her go, walked around Yanbei to Wudang, and then returned to Baiyun City consciously, without any incidents along the way , Xie Wan breathed a sigh of relief, but she never expected to be completely confused by Lu Xiaofeng with the four eyebrows.
Every little detail in a lifetime may have a great impact on a person later.Because of this, Xie Wancai had to always do the task with trepidation.If Xie Wan remembered correctly, Ye Gucheng and Lu Xiaofeng should have met for the first time in Nanwang Mansion a few months later.
The accident happened so suddenly that Xie Wan was not prepared for it at all, but now he has to come up with a solution immediately.
This world is really exhausting.
Not only is the task target troublesome, but the people in the whole world make Xie Wan feel like a real troublesome movement.
Following Ye Gucheng's words, Lu Xiaofeng's eyes naturally fell on Xie Wan.The eyes of the vagabond, who is used to admiring beauties and who is used to admiring them, lit up.Just now when Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zaixing made a bet and chose Xie Wan as the target, they were already amazed by her celestial beauty, but now Lu Xiaofeng knows that a beauty can be so beautiful when you look closely.
When Lu Xiaofeng saw a beautiful girl, he couldn't help but smile sweeter at her, hoping to make a good impression on her.Unexpectedly, when the beauty heard his name, not only did her face change slightly, but when she met her eyes, she even turned pale and faltered, and pulled Ye Gucheng's sleeve to hide behind him, as if she was terrified of Lu Xiaofeng.
Xie Wan's behavior made not only Lu Xiaofeng the person concerned stunned, but also all the people present showed strange expressions.
Ye Gucheng bowed his head, showing concern and worry in his expression, Xie Wan's left hand, which was not holding a sword, was tightly holding the protruding knuckles of his sleeve.
"Don't be afraid, Ah Wan, tell me what's wrong?" While talking, Ye Gucheng's gaze fell back on Lu Xiaofeng.
In an instant, Lu Xiaofeng felt a chill running up his spine to his forehead.Now Lu Xiaofeng felt that if he failed to explain clearly today, his end would probably be much worse than that monkey spirit Sikong Zhaixing.But the problem is... how should he explain things to Ye Gucheng that he doesn't know himself? ?
Lu Xiaofeng looked bitterly at Xie Wan behind Ye Gucheng, and now he didn't have the time to think about how beautiful and gentle the other girl looked, all he wanted was for Xie Wan to give him an explanation so that he wouldn't become Lu Xiaoji today.
Unexpectedly, Miss Awan's face became paler after meeting his gaze, she covered her head and took another step back behind Ye Gucheng.
"Ye Gucheng, I have a headache... shall we get out of here?"
Ye Gucheng was taken aback for a moment, and immediately reacted, walking around behind Xie Wan with one hand to support her shoulder.
"I'll take you away."
Ye Gucheng understood now that firstly, Xie Wan didn't want him and Lu Xiaofeng to meet each other at this moment, and secondly, he had the intention of punishing Lu Xiaofeng in his heart.Ye Gucheng patted Xie Wan's head comfortingly, and when he turned back to speak to Lu Xiaofeng, his words were already a little more cold.
"Is it Lu Xiaofeng? I really want to know if these two fingers of yours can catch me next time with a sword flying fairy."
Lu Xiaofeng only felt that it was over, my life was over.
The city lord half-supported and half-carried Miss Awan out, followed by Nianwu, before leaving, Nianwu stared at Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing with a cold face, Lu Xiaofeng received the cold air especially severely.
This person surnamed Lu didn't know what he did to Miss Awan, so that she lost her memory and turned pale in panic when she saw him again.One must know that Lu Xiaofeng's reputation as a vagabond is as famous as his Consonant One Finger.
So it was Sikong Zaixing's turn to gloat and pat Lu Xiaofeng's shoulder twice with a smile: "Hey Lu Xiaoji, what did you have to do with the women in Ye Gucheng before?"
Lu Xiaofeng slapped Sikong Zaixing's hand off with a sulky face.
He was wronged, and he also wanted to know.
Lu Xiaofeng, who was suddenly burdened with such a life-and-death contract with Baiyun City Lord, felt bitter.
After the big Jin Pengguo incident ended, Lu Xiaofeng bid farewell to Hua Manlou and continued to be cool all the way.On the way, he met his bad friend Sikong Zhaixing again, and Sikong Zhaixing insisted on competing with Lu Xiaofeng.Lu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes: "That's what you are best at, stealing things."
For Lu Xiaofeng to choose someone, Sikong Zhaixing had to steal the most valuable things from the other party without being discovered by the other party.
Lu Xiaofeng looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Xie Wan.He saw that the white-clothed swordsman who was eating at the same table as the girl had great martial arts, and deliberately made things difficult for Sikong Zhaixing, but he didn't expect that the other party was Ye Gucheng, and he caused such a big trouble for himself.
Lu Xiaofeng was so angry that he slapped his handsome face: "You are asking for trouble."
Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaofeng later spread such a rumor in the world: Lu Xiaofeng molested Ye Gucheng's wife, frightened Mrs. Ye's beauty, and was so angry that Ye Gucheng drew his sword on the spot and made an agreement for a decisive battle.
On the other side, Ye Gucheng pushed Nian Wu away, ignoring the anxious expression on Nian Wu's face when he left.Ye Gucheng asked Xie Wan who was snuggling up to him all the way, who looked "terrified": "You don't want me to see Lu Xiaofeng?"
Xie Wan withdrew from Ye Gucheng's arms, with a gentle smile full of joy of success.
"Not for now."
Ye Gucheng frowned slightly, looked at Xie Wan for a while, and then said: "I would like to know what you are doing all this for."
Xie Wan smiled lightly and remained silent.Ye Gucheng also knew that Xie Wan would not and would not be able to answer him if he asked further, remembering that night when she casually smiled and said she would die, Ye Gucheng frowned deeply.
"It's not just because of this. Did Lu Xiaofeng provoke you?"
In Ye Gucheng's heart, Lu Xiaofeng is already his friend.He helped Xie Wan to "rectify" Lu Xiaofeng today, Ye Gucheng was a little curious about how Lu Xiaofeng made Xie Wan angry before.
The old and new grudges made Xie Wan smile even more tenderly.
"He has a big mouth."
Before, it wasn't that Lu Xiaofeng wanted to say "Thank you girl for liking you" in front of Ye Gucheng with his big mouth.Xie Wan felt that Ye Gucheng would like her, and Lu Xiaofeng's words "cannot be denied".
The encounter with Lu Xiaofeng by chance was thwarted by Xie Wan, so he could only say that fortunately there was nothing to say.Xie Wan also wants to go back to Baiyun City now.
But the sky did not follow their wishes, as soon as they arrived in Yangcheng, someone heard the news and persuaded them to stay.
"City Lord Ye."
Ye Gucheng was riding on the horse, looking at the person who was sent by Nanwang last time, with an unchanging smile on his face.But this time, standing in front of him was someone obviously more noble than him.
The young man put on an admiring face: "Father heard that the city lord made an excuse, so he was looking forward to inviting the city lord to Nanwang's mansion for a few days."
