Chapter 100: Wanting to disguise Lu Xiaofeng as Xue Bing

"Please!"

"Please!"

Gu Qing was dressed in black, holding a long sword, aiming it from afar at Ye Gucheng.

Ye Gucheng's eyes were like cold stars, the sword light in his hand flashed like a bolt of silk as he stabbed toward Gu Qing, the sword light brilliant and swift! Carrying that cold-to-the-bone sword energy!

Under the most brilliant sword move, it carried the most vicious killing move!

Only when facing the Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens did one know the terror of this move.

Ye Gucheng left himself no retreat, and this Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens had no follow-up moves; it was just condensing all the killing moves into this one sword strike. This move was also a must-hit sword move, because Ye Gucheng's lightness skill was peerless; within a certain range, no one could escape this sword.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Gu Qing suddenly struck, the sword hilt wrapped in ribbons flew out of his hand, stabbing and returning instantly. After Ye Gucheng launched his move, Gu Qing stabbed and returned four times in an instant, already causing the must-kill move of the Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens to change. By the time it reached him, Gu Qing's long sword roared, striking diagonally, attacking where the enemy must save, forcing Ye Gucheng to change. The two sword bodies had not yet touched, but Ye Gucheng's Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens was already broken.

Sword lights intertwined, Gu Qing's sword energy poured down like rain, every move and every style was in the place Ye Gucheng must save.

Gu Qing's sword technique was based on the Quanzhen Sword Art, later merged with the Ancient Tomb Sword Art. After meeting the Divine Eagle, through the Divine Eagle's tempering, many flashy parts were discarded. The sword moves were like Dugu Qiubai's, and upon entering this world, Gu Qing fought and won repeatedly. Based on the human body's large form, move distribution, etc., the sword moves became increasingly fierce.

The Dugu Nine Swords were originally based on the world's sword moves. The more they were tempered, the stronger they became. Gu Qing had fought 10,000 people in the Green Clothes Building. These sword moves were fierce and increasingly unreasonable.

Every move and every style seemed to have a demonic nature.

Ye Gucheng's sword, however, was like a cloud beyond the heavens, light and flowing, waving freely.

The two people's swords had already fought hundreds of moves without any contact.

"Whoosh!"

Ye Gucheng stabbed with a sword.

Gu Qing, who was under the sword move, suddenly paused, watching the sword reach him, and then Ye Gucheng retracted the move himself, indifferently turning away.

"Why did he leave?"

On the side of this battlefield, Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou, Shi Xiuxue, and Xue Bing were all watching. Seeing the battle between the two sides was exciting, suddenly Ye Gucheng retracted the move, making Xue Bing ask involuntarily.

"Because Ye Gucheng knew that Gu Qing could use the Soul's Intuition finger to end the battle, so he took the initiative to retract the move."

Lu Xiaofeng said with a straight face.

After a night of work yesterday, Prince Pingnan's Mansion had already caused more than twenty deaths, which made Lu Xiaofeng very dissatisfied. Lu Xiaofeng believed that human life was always the most precious, and even if it involved the pearls of Prince Pingnan's Mansion, it shouldn't have caused so many deaths.

So Lu Xiaofeng was very dissatisfied with Gu Qing and Ye Gucheng. Coming to find Gu Qing was also to get them to stop the investigation and change the method of investigating the case, but when he came to find Gu Qing and Ye Gucheng today, the two were competing, so he stood on the side first.

"Then why end the battle now?"

Xue Bing watched the two people fighting and felt it was brilliant and good-looking, unable to see too much danger.

"Because Gu Qing has already finished watching the Lord of White Cloud City's sword moves."

Lu Xiaofeng said.

Finished watching, which meant finished learning.

Gu Qing had no intention of fighting Ye Gucheng to the death, so he retracted the move. With a move like the Soul's Intuition finger, it allowed Gu Qing to quickly stop the battle, and Ye Gucheng was unable to force Gu Qing into a life-and-death situation.

Lu Xiaofeng was thinking about things when he saw Ye Gucheng walking toward him. That clean white clothes and the chilling cold air gave Lu Xiaofeng a bad premonition.

"How is Ximen Chuixue's sword?"

Ye Gucheng asked.

Lu Xiaofeng's heart hung up instantly. Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue were too similar, both being characters who dedicated themselves to the sword path. Although these two had never met, that remote echoing made people know that the two would have a battle sooner or later.

The current Ye Gucheng couldn't do anything to Gu Qing, so he thought of Ximen Chuixue.

"Ximen Chuixue's sword technique..."

Lu Xiaofeng's mouth was full of bitterness. This was the situation he least wanted to see.

"Ximen Chuixue, not bad."

Gu Qing's voice drifted from afar, saying, "Another day, Ximen Chuixue, set a time, you set a location, I will come to fight. One person fighting the two of you, how about that?"

Gu Qing could use two sets of martial arts with both hands, so he could naturally count as two people.

Ye Gucheng turned around, his eyes cold, staring at Gu Qing.

Gu Qing remained calm.

The night of the full moon, the top of the Forbidden City, a sword comes from the west, Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens.

Gu Qing held a sword in both hands, fighting the two most famous swordsmen of the current world at the top of the Forbidden City. This was truly a trip worth taking.

"Very good!"

Ye Gucheng said again: "Very good!"

These two "very good"s, how much was angry talk, how much was accepting the challenge, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't tell while standing on the side. However, seeing that the battle seemed to be about to start again, he hurriedly said, "The two of you love to fight, I don't care, but can you stop the investigation of Prince Pingnan's Mansion?"

Lu Xiaofeng said he didn't care, but in fact, he was diverting the topic.

"Do you know that more than twenty people have already died last night?"

Lu Xiaofeng shouted sharply, wanting to use momentum to forcibly correct the topic, and also to dispel Gu Qing and Ye Gucheng's idea of starting a second battle.

Gu Qing looked at Lu Xiaofeng, smiled, and said, "Died well."

"Died well?"

Lu Xiaofeng never felt that death and good had anything to do with each other.

Gu Qing walked slowly toward the crowd at this time, looking at Lu Xiaofeng with a gloomy face, Hua Manlou frowning slightly, and said, "Of course they died well. These people were lurking in Prince Pingnan's Mansion, and it would be troublesome for us to find them. The Embroidery Bandit silenced them, which is clean."

Gu Qing said these things very calmly.

"On what grounds do you conclude that it was the Embroidery Bandit who silenced them?"

Lu Xiaofeng asked.

Gu Qing smiled, looked at Xue Bing, and then looked at Lu Xiaofeng, saying, "Lu Xiaofeng, I will list some reasons. If you agree in your heart, would you be willing to promise me one thing?"

"What thing?"

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Xue Bing while speaking. Just now Gu Qing looked at Xue Bing, and Lu Xiaofeng was thinking about whether Gu Qing was asking for Xue Bing.

Xue Bing's pretty face was slightly cold, understanding Lu Xiaofeng's meaning, and glared at Lu Xiaofeng.

"Xue Bing has her own will, she loves whoever she likes, I naturally won't let you make decisions for her."

Gu Qing had no intention of forcing Xue Bing, saying, "What I want is for you to wear women's clothing."

"What?"

The people around heard this sentence and were greatly shocked. Even Ye Gucheng, who had no emotions, had a strange look in his cold-star-like eyes.

Lu Xiaofeng was immediately anxious.

"Don't be anxious yet, I have sufficient reasons."

Gu Qing knew Lu Xiaofeng was anxious, but told him not to be anxious first, and then asked, "We are now using a very rough screening method to screen out some people."

Lu Xiaofeng had a straight face, wanting to hear Gu Qing's high theory.

"That shipment of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency was very important, which is why Chang Mantian was sent to escort it. The 800,000 taels of silver inside were even more confidential. Who could access these secrets?"

Gu Qing asked.

Lu Xiaofeng was stunned.

Gu Qing sighed and said, "I know you are a bit slow to turn the corner, so I'll just ask directly: could Jin Jiuling know this secret?"

Of course he could!

Lu Xiaofeng secretly thought in his heart, like this kind of escort silver, the escort agency also had to greet the yamen first. Of course, it was limited to a small number of people who knew. Jin Jiuling, as the Chief Constable, was naturally informed.

"The boss of Hua Yuxuan collected 70 famous calligraphy and paintings. Could Jin Jiuling know this secret?"

Gu Qing asked again.

Lu Xiaofeng's heart sank... Of course he could. Jin Jiuling and Master Gusong were both famous calligraphy and painting masters in the Jianghu. The boss of Hua Yuxuan's calligraphy and paintings would naturally let the two come to appreciate them and determine their value.

After all, calligraphy and paintings had to be affirmed and recognized by people to have value.

"The red goods of Zhendong, the gold leaves of Jinsha River, could Jin Jiuling know these intelligence?"

Gu Qing asked again.

Lu Xiaofeng's heart sank to the bottom. These things, Jin Jiuling as the Chief Constable, could all access. And Gu Qing just screened like this, making Jin Jiuling very conspicuous.

Similarly, in Prince Pingnan's Mansion, Jin Jiuling's status was prominent, and he could naturally create a group of inside traitors.

Lu Xiaofeng remembered again what Gu Qing said yesterday, that he had the Soul-Moving Great Law, and then Jin Jiuling left in a hurry, and today many people died strangely...

So Gu Qing was suspecting Jin Jiuling was the Embroidery Bandit.

"Still not enough!"

Lu Xiaofeng said.

What Gu Qing said, Jin Jiuling could only be considered a suspect, there was no decisive evidence yet.

"Indeed still not enough."

Gu Qing laughed cheerfully and said, "If you want decisive evidence, then you need to sacrifice a bit." Gu Qing stared at Lu Xiaofeng and said, "I want you to disguise yourself as Xue Bing and go to the Snake King's place with me."

This was the reason Gu Qing let Lu Xiaofeng wear women's clothing.
