Chapter 99: The Sword of Life and Death (1)
...
"The boss, the fourth young master sent someone to pass on a message: After Chu Yuanyi made the sword decision yesterday, he immediately broke through the realm of the sword servant Xiaocheng. It can be seen that he has been planning for a long time and is specifically targeting you. The famous sword "Qiu Shui" is probably in his hands. The fourth young master told you to deal with it carefully and never underestimate the enemy." Li Fuquan reported.
"I understand." Ou Chuyang responded.
Mu Wanqing asked in confusion: "Then Chu Yuanyi has just been defeated by you once, why do you have such a grudge and have to kill you?"
"Chu Yuanyi is just a dog raised by the second son Di Zhenxiong." Ou Chuyang said coldly: "Mu is beautiful in the forest wind and will be destroyed. I am afraid that I have been involved in the whirlpool of wealthy families fighting for power and throne."
"Your growth is really a bit too horrible. Even if you want to act low-key, you cannot completely cover up your sharpness." Mu Wanqing sighed. She is the closest person to Ou Chuyang now, and even she can't help but be jealous of Ou Chuyang's talent, let alone others?
...
At this time, in the study of the Second Prince’s Mansion, thousands of miles away.
After Di Zhenxiong sat upright on a precious iron limu book case, he listened to the report from his confidant subordinates, narrowing his eyes slightly, and occasionally showing a terrifying light.
"Young Master, Mei Aochu has been appointed as the deputy city lord of Zhengxi Acropolis by the fourth master. Are you lending the famous sword "Qiu Shui" to Chu Yuanyi and making a sword decision with Mei Aochu, isn't it a bit ostentatious?" said a confidant subordinate with some concern.
"What are you afraid of? My father has already explained to us that as long as you don't care about blood, family affection and brothers, you can use all other methods. If you want to become the head of a family and take charge of such a huge family business, how can you do not be cruel?"
Di Zhenxiong walked to the window, closed his eyes and said, "The boss is too smooth in his work, has more than enough success, and has insufficient progress. Although the third brother has the highest talent in swordsmanship, he is just a brave man and is not worth worrying about. The most threatening one is the fourth brother. He has no other skills, but he will win over the hearts of the people. Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world... they must not let his wings be full, otherwise they will become a big trouble."
"Young Master is wise." The trusted subordinate bowed and flattered.
"Mei Aochu, although he has just reached the entry level of Sword Master, his swordsmanship is extremely skilled and must have an extraordinary swordsmanship inheritance. If he grows up, he will surely be famous. Last time in the family competition, he originally wanted to act low-key, but in the end he was forced to take full advantage of his strength, revealing his strength. Young people are still a little impatient..." Di Zhenxiong raised his hands behind his back, recalling the scene of Ou Chuyang losing more than a dozen swordsman masters in a row, which was extremely impressive.
The confidant subordinate said: "It is said that he is about to advance to the sword-casting master. Originally, once Master Chen died, there would be no sword-casting master in Zhengxi Aoxue. This time, Chu Yuanyi got rid of Mei Aochu, and killed two birds with one stone, giving Zhengxi Aoxue a heavy blow."
"The talent of swordsmanship and the identity of a swordsman are not the most important." Di Zhenxiong turned around and said, "Mei Aochu gathered people to stand firm, fight the dangerous city with blood, and strived to ensure that Zhengxi Affiliation is not lost. He also exposed the conspiracy of Yanshan Hou, rescued the Hanyu Palace, and finally dispelled the beast tide and resolved the great catastrophe. This person is determined by his character, and his wisdom and martial arts are the best choices. The fourth brother will definitely be like a tiger with his assistance. This is what I worry about the most."
"The young master is far-sighted, and I admire him." The confidant subordinate took the opportunity to flatter him and said, "I just feel that it is easy to take out the famous sword "Qiu Shui", and I feel a little nervous."
"Haha! What is a mere sword?" Di Zhenxiong waved his hand vigorously, "Chu Yuanyi has followed me for many years and has always been loyal. This time he fought with his life. If I can't even give up a famous sword, wouldn't it make everyone feel cold? Red pink is given to the beauty and the sword is given to the hero. If he wins the sword decision, I will give him 'Qiu Shui' so what?"
"The young master is a man of civil and military affairs, and is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. He is actually a hero in Yanzhou. His subordinates are vowed to serve their lives to the death, and they are willing to do whatever they want!" This confidant flattered and expressed his loyalty, and was also well versed in the ways of power and strategy.
"I will not treat those who work hard." Di Zhenxiong sat down after returning to the Tielimu Book Case and said, "You go."
"Yes, my subordinates have surrendered."
After his confidant withdrew from the study, Di Zhenxiong gently tapped the desk, "Mei Aochu... Mei Aochu... If you want to blame, you will blame the wrong master..."
...
In the West Acropolis, news that Ou Chuyang will live and die with Chu Yuanyi in two days has spread throughout the city. Teahouses and restaurants on the streets and alleys are full of discussions about this sword decision:
"Deputy Lord Mei is loyal and courageous, and has excellent swordsmanship, so he will definitely not lose!"
Since Ou Chuyang defended the city and protected the people in the city, his popularity was at its peak and deeply loved by the people. Moreover, his generous speeches regarded the lives of the lowly slave as important as the Lord Sword Master, and was regarded as a god. Many people have set up tablets of immortality for him and worshipped sooner or later.
"But, since the other party takes the initiative to challenge, it must be a general person. I am still very worried. If Deputy City Lord Mei has a few shortcomings, then..."
"Bao, bah, crow's mouth!" Someone immediately argued, "You don't know Chu Yuanyi, I know that he is just a defeated general under Deputy City Lord Mei, how could he win?"
"That's hard to say, haven't you heard of it? After Chu Yuanyi made the sword decision, he broke through the sword servant Xiaocheng that night, one level higher than Deputy City Lord Mei."
"Ah? That Chu Yuanyi was so despicable and designed to plot against Deputy City Lord Mei, which is so despicable!"
"The realm of the two parties in Jian Jue is the basis when signing the contract. There is no way to get such a loophole. Deputy City Lord Mei and the notary said nothing. It is useless for us to hold on here."
"So what if you are a little higher? Deputy City Lord Mei is good at using two swords. If you fight one sword with two swords, you will definitely have the upper hand."
"You should just pull it down quickly. If there are too many swords, then the sword masters in the world have gone to practice double swords? Besides, I also heard that Chu Yuanyi borrowed a famous sword from the second son of the Di family to deal with Deputy City Lord Mei."
"Famous Sword? Is it very powerful?"
"That's right, our four young masters don't have famous swords. It is said that a famous sword is worth millions! It's even more powerful, enough to break mountains and rivers! Deputy City Lord Mei's two swords are just superb craftsmen, and I'm afraid they can't resist it."
"Ah! What should I do?"
"Don't argue, we can't help with the Lord of Swords, and it's useless to worry about it. If you are interested, burn incense and pray for Deputy Lord Mei. I hope he will have a heavenly appearance and turn bad luck into good luck."
The same scene took turns in Zhengxi Acropolis, and tens of thousands of people were worried about Ou Chuyang.
