Have You Met My Brother?[Comprehensive Martial Arts + Sword Three] Chapter 57

Chapter 57 Six Ribbons Wild Goose Bugui: Are you going to do something bad?…

The capital was almost overcrowded, with many residents and officials, and even a large floating population. Especially as the Full Moon War approached, people from all corners of the country who heard the news crowded into the capital like pupae.In the past, even eight carriages could ride freely on the spacious streets. Now, three grown men walked side by side, but they had to be careful at all times to avoid bumping into pedestrians passing by.

Yan Bugui stood in the middle of the three, with Xie Donghai on his left and Liu Yuan on his right. On his head was a little parrot that didn’t dare to say anything. His eyes were squinting, as if the front had an unparalleled attraction for him.And even though the three of them basically paid little attention to the outside world’s attention, it could not be denied that they were the most beautiful scenery on this street when they walked together.

The Ling Xian Yin in Xie Donghai’s hand has been opened, and the large silver-white umbrella is enough to block its owner and Yan Bugui next to it from the increasingly hot sun.The side with the long see-through white gauze was turned behind him by the elder of Penglai. When the gust of wind blew, it swayed and danced with the long black gauze hanging down from the Yan Bugui bamboo hat, which was a perfect match.

Liu Yuan, whose long hair was dyed gold by the sun, was “talking to himself” at this time: “Oh, someone is not sure whether he is sincere or fake, and the result is that he is just walking. If he likes walking so much, he can just walk by himself, and he has to find someone to accompany him. Could it be that he is afraid that there are monsters outside that will eat him…”

Xie Donghai didn’t seem to hear that he was being eaten by Liu Yuan. He was a drunkard and didn’t care about drinking. He glanced around and said with a little emotion: “The customs and customs of this world are quite interesting. If you don’t know how long you have to wait next time if you miss this vision of heaven and earth, it would be good to stay a little longer.”

Compared with the “dangerous” topic brought up by Liu Yuan, Xie Donghai’s words were more “safe”. Yan Bugui immediately took over the conversation: “Brother Xie, is there anything we need to do at that time?”

“No need – the only thing you need to pay attention to is not to leave me too far.” Xie Donghai looked towards the direction of the inner city of the palace, “And… maybe we have to go to the palace that day to ‘borrow’ a little of the dragon energy that unifies the dynasty here.”

“Ah?” Regarding the “dragon energy”, Xie Donghai had not mentioned it before. Yan Buguiyi was a little stunned for a moment, “We are going to the palace… Do we need to check out the location in advance now?”

Xie Donghai pointedly said: “There were other people who fell in love with the so-called ‘Top of the Forbidden City’ that day. Why should we worry too much about it? By then, we will not be alone.”

Liu Yuan finally joined the topic at this time: “Are you going to force your way in, or are you going to find the ‘access voucher’ that those people call it?”

Although the three of them seemed to be wandering aimlessly on the street, some of the topics being discussed by the people around them were captured and heard by them one by one.Among them, what attracted the most concern among people in the world was naturally the court’s opinion on the sword battle on the night of the full moon.

Ever since the news that the battle between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue had not only been postponed for a month, but also that the location had been changed from the “Purple Gold Summit” to the “Forbidden Summit”, the news spread wildly in the world. Both masters and unknown people in the martial arts world couldn’t help but wonder what the court and the emperor would think of the Supreme Harmony Hall, which represented the supreme power, being targeted by these two swordsmen.

It’s a pity that the imperial court’s attitude is that of no attitude. Apart from strengthening the defense of the capital, no more news has come out to the outside world – until today, there is finally relatively clear information.

It is said that the emperor met Lu Xiaofeng yesterday who had sneaked into the imperial city for some unknown reason and fell in love with him. The emperor said that he was also very curious about the upcoming full moon night and did not mind Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue “borrowing” his “Top of the Forbidden City”.

Just considering that it is a forbidden area of ​​​​the palace after all, if too many people from the rivers and lakes suddenly influx, it may cause tension and worry among the imperial guards, palace maids and eunuchs in the city.Furthermore, the two swordsmen placed the decisive battle on the top of the Forbidden City in order to obtain a quiet venue and not to be watched by too many people.

Therefore, the Emperor said that after discussing with the Prime Minister, Shenhou and others, he decided that except for the two parties involved in the decisive battle, the Imperial City would only allow up to six people, accompanied by four famous arresters, to enter the palace on a full moon night.

As for how to choose these six people, the emperor was originally struggling, but he immediately had a new inspiration after meeting Lu Xiaofeng – the emperor handed six ribbons from Persia that would change color in the moonlight to Lu Xiaofeng, and the other party would decide their fate.On the night of the full moon, only those wearing ribbons can approach the imperial city, otherwise they will be shot!

In less than half a day, the news had already spread throughout the capital. Even if Yan Bugui and the others didn’t pay special attention to it, the ordinary people and martial artists around them were discussing it, and it was difficult to know.In contrast, Lu Xiaofeng is a key figure. No one can tell where he is now.

“Why are you so anxious…” Xie Donghai said leisurely, “Since those ribbons do not have fixed names written on them, no one can guarantee that they will be the real owners of them in the end – in fact, there is no need to go to the person named Lu Xiaofeng. You only need to stay outside the imperial city that day and watch who comes near, and you can borrow it from him.”

Although Xie Donghai said “rob” instead of “borrow”, Liu Yuan still said “Oh” in surprise, but what surprised him was another point: “You are so abiding by the rules? I almost thought you were planning to force your way into the palace.”

Xie Donghai chuckled: “I have always respected the rules, and naturally I will choose to abide by them.”

Hearing this, Yan Bugui turned his head slightly and glanced at Xie Donghai quietly.His brother Xie’s words are not a lie. In a sense, they are even truer than Pearl’s. In practice, this kind of “respect and compliance” is more flexible – the question is that he suffered a big loss in this regard when he was a child!

Xie Donghai had no experience in raising human cubs for the first time, so he consulted a lot of people, read a lot of books, and wrote himself many precautions, which he strictly followed most of the time.

Soon after Yan Bugui started to learn to read and write, he also got a small book of “family rules” written by his brother Xie himself.It stipulates what things can be done, what things can be done at discretion, and what things must not be done… and the corresponding consequences are also attached.

It is conceivable that during the period when Yan Bugui was most “rebellious”, he tried almost all the things that “absolutely cannot be done” in turn.Xie Donghai punished him according to the written rules from the beginning. Later, when he found that the little kid was holding on very hard and still made trouble no matter how hard he was punished, he started to increase the punishment.

In response, Yan Bugui turned against Tiangang and accused Xie Donghai of not keeping his word and the punishment standards set changed again and again. Therefore, he learned all this from his “brother” and he should not be punished.

As soon as Xiaoyan said these nonsense, Xie Donghai raised his eyebrows, took out the “house rules” on the spot, crossed out the corresponding punishment standard with a brush in front of the former, and then wrote a more severe one, saying that he still followed the rules. As for why the rules were not fixed, he didn’t know, that’s how the rules were written anyway.

Yan Bugui thought about imitating it at first, but after he corrected it, he pointed at it and said, “This is the rule.”However, after that day, Xie Donghai wrote that family rule all over the wall of his home, saying that he used it as a guideline.

Every time Xiao Yan tried to get closer, he couldn’t figure it out. He could only watch Xie Donghai leisurely scribble on it as he pleased.For this reason, he once very, very much wanted to learn Qimen Dunjia and formations, but unfortunately he was not that good at it and couldn’t learn it at all!

“What are you thinking about, huh?” Xie Donghai gently pinched Yan Bugui’s chin under Liu Yuan’s frown, and then suddenly changed the topic, “As mentioned before, someone wants to do harm to Xiao Yan?”

Liu Yuan couldn’t stand Xie Donghai’s unscrupulous actions, and Liu Yuan’s expression was extremely unpleasant.As the person who was “touched”, Yan Bugui was accustomed to accepting it well. He brought the topic to this aspect cooperatively, trying to distract his brother Liu, who had a face full of wanting to kill Xie Donghai:

“Ah, that’s right. Yesterday we went out and walked six doors, and there was someone disguised as me, killing people and dumping their bodies.”

Things have priorities, and when it comes to issues related to the safety of the wild geese, Liu Yuan really restrained himself: “Although according to what you said, we will leave here soon, but the enemy is dark and we are clear, it is difficult to guarantee that other accidents will not happen before the full moon… Aren’t you good at counting? Can you figure out which party is plotting to harm Ozawa?”

“I am from Penglai in the East China Sea, not from the Yantian Sect in the Western Regions.” Xie Donghai said that he knew that it was one thing to have visions of heaven and earth coming, but it was another thing to tell people’s fortunes.

Liu Yuan sneered: “Since you can’t do it, what’s the use of bringing it up? Let us be anxious with you?”

Being scolded “No”, Xie Donghai smiled tolerantly, but he saw that Liu Yuan’s expression was too much like that of an adult who tolerates naughty children – he had never even shown such an expression to his little goose in the ten years since he raised the goose. Liu Yuan, who was looked at like this, felt his anger rising again.

Yan Bugui, who was right between the two, suddenly raised his hand to brush the bangs in front of his forehead. His long sleeves just separated the two sides from looking at each other. When he put down his hand, the two of them no longer paid attention to each other.In response to this, Yan Bugui, who was only tired and had no sense of achievement, asked: “Brother Xie must have some ideas to talk to us when he mentioned this, right?”

“Xiao Yan still understands me.” Xie Donghai sighed, and amid Liu Yuan’s unclear snort, he continued, “Although I have just arrived in the capital, I have already seen that there are hidden dangers in the capital today – some people are using the bets related to the Battle of the Full Moon to make profits for themselves in the name of ‘gambling’.

“These large and small forces or individuals have in a short period of time weaved a web of interests that even the court dared not easily cut off, so that the court has not taken many actions against these gambling games so far.No matter what their ultimate goal is, at least before the full moon, they don’t want to break the balance with the court in this regard.

“The party that is disadvantageous to Xiaoyan may be one of them, or an intruder. Indeed, the enemy is hidden and we are clear, and we have insufficient clues. It is difficult to find them, but we do not need to find them ourselves – they can put the blame on us, and so can we; we can ‘help’ them break the balance that they dare not break…”

Liu Yuan, who felt something was wrong the more he listened, suddenly interrupted: “Wait a minute – you don’t want to do anything random, do you?”

Yan Bugui tilted his head and asked, “What do you want to do?”

Xie Donghai just smiled and said nothing.
