Have You Met My Brother?[Comprehensive Martial Arts + Sword Three] Chapter 60

Chapter 60 The night of the full moon, the wild goose does not return: (Pi Yiyi is so happy.j…

“…Where did you get this?” Liu Yuan lowered his head and looked at the discolored ribbon in his hand, his expression a little subtle.

Today is the night of the full moon, and it is also the time when the blood moon vision comes. It is the pinnacle battle of swordsmanship between Yi Jian Xi Lai and the flying immortal from the sky. It is also the best time for the three people from the Tang Dynasty to return to their homeland.

Before nightfall today, Yan Bugui had already given some small gifts to his friends as parting gifts – he did not reveal the true origins of the three of them, but only said that if nothing unexpected happened, they would go home after this day, and by then they might rarely or even never set foot in the Central Plains.

The three of them and Guo Xiang had been acting separately in the past two days, and it was not clear what they were doing.When Yan Bugui said goodbye to his new friends, he noticed that in addition to being reluctant and sad, the girl seemed to be hesitant to speak and to hide something.After a little observation, the swordsman felt that it had nothing to do with them, so he was considerate and did not delve into the secret that the little girl was keeping.

In these days, the news that if you want to enter the inner city of the palace to watch the game, you must bring a designated ribbon has spread around the capital. Every ribbon is sold at a high price on the black market. As the distributor of ribbons, only the other party knows whether Lu Xiaofeng can sleep peacefully.

Even if Guo Xiang and Zuo Mingzhu had backgrounds and wealth, they still couldn’t compete with others at this time. Bai Youjin didn’t get the ribbon either. Although given his character, even if he got the ribbon, he would end up going to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to watch the battle, or he would have to pay for money or other things. Both options were 50/50.

Yang Long and his wife, who came to Beijing with Xie Donghai, were elusive, and it was not clear what the situation was. As for Su Mengzhen, who had some friendship with Liu Yuan, the entire Jinfeng Xiaoyu Tower seemed to be more concerned about the undercurrent caused by the decisive battle. Like Liufenbantang, they used the name of “gambling” to encroach on various small and medium-sized forces in the surrounding area… There was order in chaos, and everything was done in secret.

Xie Donghai disappeared early that morning, and did not return until the afternoon to join Yan Bugui and the Liu Yuan brothers. He had three more ribbons in his hand, and mentioned lightly that the assassin who assassinated Xiao Yan in the capital was the same group of people as those who framed him, and they have now been solved.

Liu Yuan glanced at Yan Bugui, who looked calm, and knew that his younger brother should be aware of the details of the matter. He simply suppressed it and only talked about the ribbon. After all, it was rumored that there were only six such ribbons in total. Xie Donghai took half of it. Does it make sense?Although there are vague rumors nowadays that there seem to be more than six such ribbons, the authenticity is unpredictable.

Xie Donghai did not answer directly, but replied in a conspiratorial manner: “I can guarantee that what we have is genuine. As for how many of these ‘genuine’ goods are left, it is not a question we need to think about – well, we might as well go to the imperial city earlier later, lest the court here sees that the situation is not right and stops the people behind and refuses to let them go.”

Liu Yuan raised his eyebrows and immediately understood that there was something wrong.Although Xie Donghai didn’t say it clearly, everything happened in the imperial city. Whether it was a family banquet, a dance, or a duel between peerless swordsmen, it seemed that it was all related to the throne or the person on the throne – but it really had nothing to do with outsiders like them.

With things in mind, the passage of time seems to speed up, and night comes quietly without realizing it.A bright moon poked out its bare head from the horizon, climbing toward the sky with a whirring sound.

It was late at night, the weather was clear and cloudless, and Xie Donghai still held the big umbrella open, as if he was worried that the moonlight would tan him.He not only held an umbrella for himself, but also left half of the space to cover the bottom of his umbrella.

Liu Yuan walked behind the two of them, watching the two of them always sticking to each other intentionally or unintentionally. The distance between them was almost nonexistent. If one of them was not his biological brother, he would have to say: “Dog man!”

With the ribbons in hand, even though the weapons they carried were more conspicuous and more evil than each other, they still had no obstructions along the way and were successfully put into the Meridian Gate by Ouchi’s guards.Then, they saw two people on the Jinshui Bridge in front of Taihe Gate——

One of them was Tie Shou whom Yan Bugui knew, and the other one seemed to see the strange looks they cast, and introduced himself with a smile: “My surname is Cui, and my friends in the world like to call me ‘Chasing Life’.”

The life-seeking person among the four famous shops in the world… Xie Donghai just nodded slightly in greeting, while Yan Bugui and Liu Yuan clasped their fists together and said “Jiu Yang” twice. Yan Bugui, because he had some friendship with Tie Shou, asked directly: “Are you two waiting here on purpose?”

Although this battle of the full moon had the tacit approval of the emperor and the court, even the Jianghu people with ribbons could only walk all the way into the palace along Tianjie.If someone plans to fly in by relying on light skills, unless they are completely undetected, they will be regarded as an intruder with malicious intentions, and they will be shot into a hedgehog by a powerful crossbow on the spot!

If the rules are like this, then the possibility that Iron Shou and Zhui Ming appear on everyone’s path at this time and that it is an accidental encounter is very small.Tie Shou’s answer also confirmed this, and he nodded: “Yes, this is a forbidden area in the palace after all. In order to reduce the surprises that neither party wants to see, we specially wait here for all the heroes. When the time is up, we will go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony together.”

Yan Bugui blinked: “So it seems that the three of us were the first to arrive?”

Tie Shou’s eyes glanced at the ribbons on the three people’s hands, and he responded “Yes.”

Xie Donghai suddenly asked: “If it were Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue, would you also stop them here?”

“That’s not true. The two have already arrived, and we have found a place to ask them to rest and recharge their batteries.” The answer was Zhui Ming, who looked a little slovenly but with bright eyes. He looked at Xie Donghai quite kindly and asked, “I have heard the names of Liu Daxia and Yan Shaoxia, but I don’t know how you should call them?”

“My surname is Xie.” Xie Donghai did not say his full name. After a simple answer, he continued to ask, “Don’t you know who will eventually come to watch the game?”

Zhui Ming subconsciously touched his waist and found that he didn’t bring a wine bottle. He raised his hand and rubbed his nose. He shrugged and replied, “These discolored silks were given to Lu Xiaofeng. It all depends on who he wants to hand them over to. Our mission is to maintain order and ensure safety.”

During the conversation, one after another other people walked towards the bridge through the Meridian Gate – as expected, the number of people soon exceeded the “six people” limit. Lu Xiaofeng saw the “surging crowd” here from a distance, and she was stunned for a moment.

Tie Shou and Zhui Ming were not too surprised by this, but they looked at each other and immediately made angry expressions. Tie Shou even lowered his face and shouted to someone who was handling the matter: “Lu Xiaofeng, what’s going on!”

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the discolored ribbons that didn’t look fake, and couldn’t help but smile bitterly – if he really knew what was going on, he wouldn’t have such a headache now.But even if he didn’t know what happened to the extra ones, he could still tell who he gave the six items in his hand.

But when he was about to reveal it to Tie Shou and Zhui Ming, Zhui Ming looked at the dozen or so mysterious people with their faces covered and shouted loudly:

“Did you hear it? Originally, the imperial court only released six places, but now the number of people gathered has exceeded twenty… I wonder if a few masked friends can give us senior brothers a more or less information, who is the name and where is the job? To put it bluntly, under such circumstances, we really can’t walk through the Gate of Supreme Harmony with so many secretive people!”

As soon as he said this, there was silence around him.

After a long time, a voice came out from the masked crowd: “The difference in the number of people is your problem. All we know is that since the credentials are correct, we can enter to watch the battle. Could it be that the two of you still want to distinguish among us a third, sixth, or ninth grade before you are willing to give up the passage? Haha – is your court trying to use this method to clean up the martial arts world again? ”

Zhui Ming’s eyes flashed, and he did not continue to speak. Tie Shou replied in a deep voice: “If you insist on doing so, then please go ahead – but things have changed now, and we have to add more manpower to defend the area. Please also pay attention to your words and deeds, and do not do anything that causes misunderstanding. Otherwise, we can only deal with it according to the law.”

The round bright moon has already climbed to the sky. The glazed tiles on the top of the Hall of Supreme Harmony are obviously well taken care of. Not only are they smooth, but every piece of them is shining.Although there were some accidents, it was as good as it came. The heroes of the rivers and lakes used various means to get to the top. From a condescending perspective, one could see that the number of guards with swords around them was obviously increasing, which proved that what Iron Shou said was not harsh words but the truth.

Climbing high was not difficult for Yan Bugui and the others. The others were counting the heads everywhere. Yan Bugui stared unblinkingly at the big owl-beaked ridged beasts at both ends of the ridge, and then suddenly looked at Xie Donghai – even though he didn’t speak or send messages privately, those eyes seemed to be able to speak, conveying to Brother Xie the meaning of “Is your true body the same as this ridged beast?”

Xie Donghai, who understood the look in Yan Bugui’s eyes, reached out and pinched the back of Xiaoyan’s neck with a half-smile, so that the latter almost pulled out the knife in response – Xie Donghai’s real form, Yan Bugui, had actually seen it, well, to be precise, he had seen part of it – the lower half, so he was just scratching the surface of the back of his neck, which was pinched by his brother Xie, and did not dare to pretend anymore.

Liu Yuan obviously didn’t know what the two men were fighting, and he didn’t bother to pay attention to their flirting. He looked up at the still white moonlight, wondering when it would turn red.

Time passed little by little, and the two parties involved in this sword fight almost climbed to the top of the agreed Forbidden City accompanied by different guards.

At this time, the crowd standing on the roof could be divided into several small groups – Lu Xiaofeng and his friends were one group; Iron Hand, Zhui Ming and the guards with swords who came were one group; the mysterious masked people stood scattered, but seemed to be vaguely related, and could be counted as one group; finally, Yan Bugui, Xie Donghai and Liu Yuan were in a group of their own, making it difficult for others to intervene.

Liu Yuan recognized that the cold-faced swordsman in white clothes he had encountered was indeed Ximen Chuixue. Yan Bugui stared at “Ye Gucheng” for a while, and then suddenly sent a message to Xie Donghai next to him through the secret passage: “The person who came is not Ye City Lord himself, right?”

Xie Donghai’s expression did not change at all, and he asked in the same tone as usual: “What did you find?”

Yan Bugui sent a message and replied: “I have met Lord Ye City once. The face of the person in front of me is very similar, but his behavior is different – whether the two people I have seen are not Lord Ye City, or one is the other and not, there is something wrong after all.”

Xie Donghai did not affirm it directly, but his answer seemed to be an affirmation: “Guess where he is now?”

Yan Bugui didn’t guess, but looked at Tie Shou and Zhui Ming, whose expressions became more and more serious as time went by, and secretly counted the time – the vision of heaven and earth predicted by Xie Donghai was about to appear.
