The most important thing is that they want to save face!

For this kind of person, matters of face are far more important than their own lives.

Facing the start of the gambling game between the two, the imperial court was not idle.

Because of the matter of the No. [-] Martial Arts Association in the world, private casinos are no longer allowed in the capital.

There is only one casino!

Casino Royale!

Fully controlled by the imperial court, it can be said that it is the largest and most powerful casino in the capital right now.

And the bet between the two of them was also taken over by Royal Gaming.

In order to ensure fairness, openness and fairness.

Cao Zhengchun was even ordered to personally go to these two families to calculate the family property, and after confirming that it was correct, he announced the family property of the two.

They are all worth tens of millions!

This time, no matter who loses in the bet, it will be unrecoverable!

And this is also the first time Royal Gaming has taken over such a big game, and the emperor also agreed to this matter.

And he also said that he also wanted to see this decisive battle, so he agreed to allow the two to fight against each other.

The confrontation between sword gods and sword immortals in the Jianghu naturally attracted countless people from the Jianghu.

The number of people in Beijing also skyrocketed this month.

Xu Nian was still in a coma and showed no sign of waking up.

During this time, Zhu Yipin also came to check the situation every day. After confirming that Xu Nian's body had begun to recover, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But because of this decisive battle, Lu Xiaofeng also had a headache.

He rented a house from Xu's house, and he didn't intend to continue disturbing Xu's house, so he left early with Xue Bing.

Hua Manlou also came back from Jiangnan.

Knowing that Xu Nian had an accident, he also came to Xu's mansion every day for the past two days to check the situation.

He knows medical skills himself, so he also helped to make medicine.

After seeing Jiang Yuyan and the others feeding medicine to Xu Nian with a bamboo tube, they left to look for Lu Xiaofeng.

In a house on the north side.

Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou, Sikong Zhaixing and Xue Bing sat together.

Xue Bing made a few dishes to go with the wine, and Hua Manlou also took out the peach blossom wine brought by Xu's mansion.

"Still worried about the decisive battle?"

Hua Manlou poured Lu Xiaofeng a bowl of wine, stared at him and asked with a smile, "Are you so worried about the two of them?"

"Ximen Chuuxue and I have the best relationship, and Ye Gucheng is also my friend. I am naturally worried about the decisive battle between the two of them."

Lu Xiaofeng said helplessly: "But I still don't understand why Ye Gucheng wants to fight Ximen Chuuxue at this time? Wouldn't it be better to wait until the end of the year for martial arts?"

indeed!

It's not just something he can't figure out.

The rest of the people didn't understand why Ye Gucheng chose this time.

And the most terrible thing is that Ximen Chuuxue actually agreed!

Knowing that at the end of the year, he was going to compete with the two dragon heads of the Qinglong Society, but now he was fighting Ye Gucheng ahead of time, what if he got injured?

What about the battle at the end of the year?

Sikong Zhaixing narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Lu Xiaoji, why don't you call Ximen Chuuxue over and ask, anyway, didn't Dazhi Datong say that he is in the capital?"

"Since he doesn't want to see others, it's impossible for me to see him either."

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, and said: "This time things are a bit tricky, not only the two of them, but the gambling between Li Yanbei and Du Tongxuan is also a headache. I always feel that someone is behind everything."

His feelings have never been wrong.

This time, he also felt that someone was playing tricks behind him, but he didn't know who it was.

"Then there's no way."

Sikong Zhaixing spread his hands, turned his head and asked: "Huamanlou, how is Xu Nian's situation?"

"I haven't woken up yet, and it's said to be a retreat, but there are already rumors that he was injured."

Hua Manlou shook his head and said: "There is no impenetrable wall in the world. His situation will be discovered sooner or later. This is just right at this juncture. After all, there is a decisive battle ahead."

This is true.

With the decisive battle ahead, no one cared about Xu Nian's side.

As for when Xu Nian woke up, that was another theory.

"By the way, Lu Xiaoji, guess who I saw today?"

Sikong Zhaixing interrupted the topic tactfully, and stared at Lu Xiaofeng with a smile.

This smile made Lu Xiaofeng feel uncomfortable all over.

"Who?"

"Ouyang Qing!"

Hearing this name, the corners of Lu Xiaofeng's mouth twitched.

When he and Hua Manlou were investigating the Jinpeng Dynasty, he met Ouyang Qing once, and she was very impressed.

This woman loves money and not beauty.

At that time, Ouyang Qing was found, so there was some intersection with him.

But at that time, he also humiliated Ouyang Qing.

Then there was the matter of the embroidered thief before, and she met Ouyang Qing again.

It's hard not to meet the oiran of Yiqingyuan in the capital.

"Who is Ouyang Qing?"

Xue Bing was keenly aware of the change in Lu Xiaofeng's expression, so he directly asked aggressively.

For some reason, Lu Xiaofeng felt a little guilty, touched the tip of his nose, and said with a sneer: "Bingbing, why are you asking this? It's just a friend I met before."

"Oh? Friends?"

Xue Bing said vigilantly: "Sikong Zhaixing, please tell me in detail!"

Faced with this person's opening, Lu Xiaofeng kept winking at Sikong Zaixing.

But Sikong Zhaixing didn't seem to see it, and explained to himself: "She is the oiran of Yiqingyuan in Beijing. You can't see her without spending money. When I came today, I happened to meet her shopping, but she It seems to be being followed."

Ok?

track?

Who would follow an oiran for no reason?

Lu Xiaofeng became interested.

"You people who are following you will definitely not be able to guess, even I was shocked at the time."

Sikong Zhaixing pretended to be mysterious.

"Interesting, I'm interested too." Hua Manlou also asked curiously.

Lu Xiaofeng and Xue Bing also looked towards Sikong Zhaoxing.

On the contrary, it was Sikong Zhaixing. After drinking the peach blossom wine, the old god said: "Evil Resisting Sword Lin Pingzhi!"

Lin Pingzhi?

Isn't he from Xu Nian?

Why do you want to follow Ouyang Qing?

"Could it be that Xu Nian is already awake?"

Lu Xiaofeng murmured: "It shouldn't be, if he wakes up, Hua Manlou won't be sitting here, could it be that Lin Pingzhi has fallen in love with Ouyang Qing?"

"Who knows, anyway, when I was borrowing something, I saw him following Ouyang Qing."

Sikong Zhaixing poured himself another bowl of wine.

Logically speaking, without Xu Nian's words, Lin Pingzhi would not have easily left the courier station.

But now that Lin Pingzhi is suddenly following Ouyang Qing, this point is really confusing and hard to understand.

Lin Pingzhi is no longer a normal man after practicing the evil sword technique.

Lu Xiaofeng and the others knew this.

So for such a person, feelings are impossible.

That's weird.

Since Lin Pingzhi was not tempted, he probably had other purposes for following Ouyang Qing. It might not be easy for him to do so.

"Forget it, this is their business, we don't need to get involved."

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head, and said: "Let's think about the matter of Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng. I always feel that there is something wrong with this decisive battle."

……

into the night.

In the Xu residence.

After Jiang Yuyan fed Xu Nian the medicine, she sat on the side and looked at the night sky alone, her eyes became complicated.

Not long after, Zhou Miaotong came out of the room and said softly: "Sister **, let me take care of you. You haven't had a good rest for several days. Take a good rest tonight."

"it is good."

Jiang Yuyan came back to her senses, nodded and got up to leave.

During this time, the women took turns taking care of Xu Nian day and night.

Fortunately, Xu Nian is recovering well, and they don't have to be so tired.

Zhou Miaotong wiped Xu Nian's face with a handkerchief, then sat aside and looked at Xu Nian quietly.

But at this moment, a figure quietly appeared from behind her, and a hand knife fell, and Zhou Miaotong was knocked out.

The figure walked slowly to Xu Nian's side and stared at him for a long time.

"The sword energy in your body has recovered, how long do you plan to hide?" the figure said to himself.

The next moment, Xu Nian opened his eyes abruptly, stared at the person standing beside him and smiled.

This man was dressed in white, with a pair of mustaches, and his face was stern and terrifying, not at all inferior to Ximen Chuuxue's indifference.

"When did you find out?"

Xu Nian asked.

"Three days ago, you knew that I used a sword, so you should understand how sensitive I am to sword energy."

The man in white walked to the door and looked up at the starry sky outside.

Xu Nian lay on the bed and did not get up.

Although he has woken up, his body still cannot move too much, so he simply chose to continue pretending not to wake up.

First, he wanted to see if anyone had made a secret move.

The second is to wait for this person's arrival.

"You seem to have known that I would come?" the man in white asked calmly.

"You fight Ximen Chuuxue, so you naturally don't want others to intervene, and the last thing you want is me, so you will definitely come to me."

Xu Nian responded confidently.

This white-clothed man is none other than Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, who is fighting with Ximen Chuuxue!
