live with conscience

Chapter 260

The return of the legendary Princess Protector seems to bring everything back on track.

Under the premise that the leading party does not involve any personal grievances, the cooperation between the imperial court and the rivers and lakes began to enter a more rapid and harmonious state.

It is worth mentioning that since Ye Gubao was at the gate of the city, until the duel on August [-]th, Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng, two peerless swordsmen with powerful auras, appeared in white clothes, and became swordsmen in white clothes. The standard configuration instantly became popular.

As long as you see someone in white clothes holding a saber, you can basically conclude that they are knights in the rivers and lakes.

As the day of the competition approached, people from the arena in the capital began to mix up.

The military personnel have gathered in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and groups and individuals from the rivers and lakes have also been resettled in special resettlement points.

They are all looking forward to August [-]th, when they will have a showdown in front of the court dignitaries and martial arts heroes.

Everyone is talking about the night of the full moon, the top of the Forbidden City, a sword coming from the west, and immortals flying from the sky.

Obviously, the competition between the two swordsmen has become the best topic, but their competition has attracted more attention and topic...

Well, it's hard to beat.

However, it can't be concealed that their competition is before the final competition with the two swordsmen, and their attention is not as high as the competition between the two swordsmen, so they are really a little depressed.

However, what cannot be said is that they also pay more attention to the contest between two contemporary peerless swordsmen...

It cannot be denied that the contest between the two great swordsmen was the perfect conclusion of their significant court martial arts joint competition.

In other words, their matches will all be decided on August [-]th.

Before that, besides training day and night and looking for feelings, what they wanted to do the most was to visit the two peerless swordsmen.

However, their reaction was too slow. The two peerless swordsmen had been invited by His Majesty the Emperor to settle down in the palace, which made them beat their feet and chests for a long time.

They couldn't find the two protagonists, so they had no choice but to take a large amount of banknotes, silver taels, and go to the welfare gambling shop officially launched by the imperial court to support the people they wanted to support with their strength.

The maximum bet amount is 1000 taels, no more.

It's a little gamble!

Official casinos are all marked with a maximum betting limit. Of course, if you want to spend a lot of money, you can participate in the annual and monthly Gambling King Competition. This allows certain people to show their rich demeanor as much as possible.

It is said that the monthly gambling king can participate in the annual gambling king competition at the end of the year, becoming the gambling king of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor personally issues a plaque with an inscription.

It is estimated that the biggest advantage of the cooperation between the imperial court and the Wulin Alliance is this. All gambling houses without official business permits and the Wulin Alliance's license are all recognized as black gambling houses.

All official casinos operate legally and collect taxes legally, effectively suppressing black and evil gambling, and most importantly, ensuring the maximum taxation of gambling funds.

If you dare to ignore the imperial court and the martial arts alliance, and set up a private gambling workshop or a private gambling workshop, the imperial court and the martial arts alliance will tell you what it means to lose your money.

All unlicensed gambling houses and private gambling houses operated without a license will be seized and confiscated.

Reporting rewards for black gambling houses and private gambling houses, whistleblowers get [-]%, and the rest is divided equally between the imperial court and the martial arts alliance.

Since then, it has been almost impossible for these filthy black gambling houses to succeed.

For the same example, there are Goulan brothels.

The cooperation between the official and the Wulin Federation has successfully made these original gray areas more orderly.

Profit is the first priority, the ground is drawn into the rules, and the bottom line is established. These gray areas soon became the main source of income for both parties.

Although this is the case, in fact, it can be regarded as benefiting the people, making the imperial court and the martial arts alliance quickly establish a high reputation.

It is gratifying.

For the imperial court and the martial arts alliance, it was a gratifying event, but for Lin Lan, it was not so friendly.

She had been attacked three nights in a row.

On the first night, at first she thought it was brother Gong Jiu who had suddenly gone crazy again, so she just hit back routinely and threw him out.

Well, that's right, Gong Jiu's little hobby of night raids has successfully turned Lin Lan into a vigilant person who can throw people out with a sword even in a deep sleep.

The assassins who came to assassinate did not expect that the legendary princess protecting the country would have such a good skill.

There was a moment of stagnation.

It was such a moment of stagnation that gave Lin Lan a chance to react. He raised his sword and dropped all the killers directly.

Then he calmly called the Imperial Forest Army, ignoring the two elder brothers who rushed over, and went to sleep in another palace.

After all, in Lin Lan's worldview, sleep cannot be let down.

That is an important matter that occupies at least one-third of a living being's life, and must be taken seriously.

I thought it was just a random incident.

But in the next two days, the level of the killers who came here is getting stronger and more people every day, so it's not that simple.

On the third day, with the cooperation of Gong Jiu and Lin Lan, it was possible to kill the killer who came, and Lin Lan didn't hold back the kind. The corpses all over the place made Gong Jiu's face darker and darker. .

Oh, Brother Emperor?

That guy who absolutely can't have any accidents, was knocked out by Lin Lan and put back in the secret room of the palace.

Released afterward.

Well, of course his complexion became even darker.

Using his personal relationship that day, he invited the Ye family brothers from Baiyun City, Ye Gucheng and Ye Gubao, the four brothers from the Hua family, Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen Chuuxue, and the Jianghu heroes he liked.

The only thing these people have in common is that they are unmarried and have no family, and of course they have no illegitimate children.

Regarding this, Brother Gong Jiu, the force representative of the elder brother group, just raised his eyebrows and did not express any objection.

Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart!

Lin Lan: ...

You guys, why haven't you given up yet.

Because the popularity of Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue was too high, people outside the palace thought that they were the only ones invited into the palace, not knowing that there were other people.

Maybe he knew, but he probably was included in the relatives and friends of the two peerless swordsmen.

What surprised Lin Lan the most was that she actually saw Ye Gubao (Yan) who was blushing, hands and feet synchronized, and at a loss——

"Yes... I'm sorry... Her Royal Highness, it's Xiaosheng's fault..." Probably because he himself knew that this was too embarrassing, so he quickly calmed down: "Because around Xiaosheng, a group of people appeared all day long. Soul-hunters are always pretending to be prophets in an attempt to seduce me, the purpose seems to be to prevent the alliance between the imperial court and the martial arts forces, so Xiaosheng couldn't bear it for a while, and laid a heavy hand."

"Ahem... also... the same, knowing that I adore the princess, and... also... knowing that Her Majesty is your Majesty's closest relative, that's why the Western Demon Cult will target Her Majesty."

Seeing Lin Lan panicked in all kinds of ways.

Then Lin Lan, who didn't want to panic, made a move.

Just picked up the sword and started fighting with him.

For other people, even if Lin Lan didn't hold back, she would still leave some leeway, but for Yan, she didn't need it.

She absolutely believed that, as a spirit of the same level, his strength would definitely not be inferior to hers.

Yan...

At the beginning, Ye Gubao might have given way, but under Lin Lan's pressing step by step, he subconsciously used all his strength.

So, uh, uh...

Before the two peerless swordsmen started the decisive battle, the two of them who could not lose to the two peerless swordsmen fought first.

All the heroes present were stunned and shocked.

At the beginning, the figures of the two could still be seen, but in the end, only Jian Guang was left intertwined.

There were probably only two Ye Gucheng, Ximen Chuuxue, Lu Xiaofeng and two elder brothers left at the scene, who could catch up with their dueling figures.

They didn't dare to speak casually, because when others were fighting desperately, the troubles of these bystanders might affect the performance of those in the duel.

After Lin Lan saw the duel that Ye Gubao had put his heart and soul into, he didn't hold back even more.

With the memory of several generations, she is definitely better than him, the reincarnation of the reincarnation spirit whose memory has been completely sealed, at the same level of aptitude.

In a duel between masters, this move can determine many things.

Just as he still has confidence and leisure, he uses his experience to plot against Ye Gubao, so that he can't separate his mind and think about more things besides sword fighting with her.

Just like—guaranteed absolute victory.

The fight between the two lasted only a quarter of an hour. When entering the final move, those present who could keep up with the moves of the two of them, the two who had already competed first, saw the outcome one step faster.

The ending is that Ye Gubao was half a minute late in returning the sword, and went straight into Lin Lan's heart an inch, a disastrous defeat!

Because Lin Lan's sword was about to go up a point, and it had already pierced his throat.

At the same time, the masters who watched the battle moved. The emperor and Gong Jiu immediately wanted to kill Ye Gubao. After all, in the eyes of the sister-in-law, anyone who hurts his sister does not need to hold back.

However, he was stopped by Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue.

Ye Gucheng, who is under the control of his younger brother, how could he let someone hurt his younger brother!

Ximen Chuuxue purely respects the spirit of competition and refuses anyone to break the rules.

Lu Xiaofeng also moved, and after throwing something at Lin Lan's sword, he was about to quickly pull Ye Gubao away.

This was completely subconscious, and he didn't want his two friends to just go for a half.

However, because of the actions of the three elder brothers and Ximen Chuuxue, there was a pause and a half-minute delay, and seeing that Lin Lan's sword tip subconsciously shifted, completely staggering what he threw, and slowed down by half a minute... …

When masters fight each other, if they are slower by one point, it means they have missed the whole world. When Lu Xiaofeng rushed to the side of the two opponents, everything was a foregone conclusion.

"Ye Gubao!"

This was the desperate cry of Lu Xiaofeng, Gong Jiu, and His Majesty the Emperor.

The thrilling final move ended with Lin Lan deflecting the tip of the sword and passing by his neck. Ye Gubao couldn't catch up and pierced directly into Lin Lan's heart.

Under Ye Gubao's frightened eyes, Lin Lan couldn't help but spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Xiao Lan!"

"Miss Lan!"

Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue no longer obstructed, allowing Gong Jiu and the emperor to pass by.

They also did not expect that the ending of blocking would become like this...
