Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 526 Assassination
Ji Jiashu was startled when he heard the words, then nodded, "That's right, it's a game of chess, but..."

But before he finished speaking, his voice was suddenly interrupted by another person beside him. He Lancheng looked at the girl in front of him in astonishment and said, "What? Don't you know?"

Ying Baoyue's voice did not seem to be fake, but He Lancheng couldn't believe it.

You must know that the primary ceremony is held every three years, and all practitioners are meticulously prepared.Beihan Pavilion in the Northern Wei Dynasty will start to select candidates for the next session at the end of the previous session. Each round is prepared for a long time in advance, and even countermeasures are prepared in advance for candidates from other countries who will participate.

Look for weaknesses that cannot be eliminated. If there are practitioners who are expected to reach the top but are not prominent, depending on the situation, they will be eliminated directly before they even participate in the primary ceremony.

Of course, this is nothing shady.He Lan agreed.

This is just the normal style of the practice world where the jungle preys on the jungle.

After all, it's not just the Beihan Pavilion that does this, the aristocratic families of all countries will do such things more or less, just to let their children reach the top.

One will be a million bones.

He Lancheng didn't think those practitioners who were eliminated were pitiful. As practitioners, if they didn't give up their practice and wanted to survive as practitioners, they had to accept the law of the jungle.

He's been taught that way since childhood.

For practitioners, war and fighting never only exist on the ring.

Danger is always by your side, maybe someone will stab you with a sword while walking on the street.

This is the world of practitioners.

Weakness is the original sin. If you can't protect yourself, you deserve to be eliminated.

If you want to survive, you must either become a strong person yourself, or live with a strong person before becoming a strong person.

The Helan family has fallen, and as a grandson, he himself does not have a particularly amazing talent as a practitioner, so the Helan family now chooses to attach themselves to Beihan Pavilion.

This is a long way to go, but in short, carefully prepare and remove all obstacles, this is the real style of the practice world when dealing with the elementary ceremony.

Beihan Pavilion also relied on such careful preparations in advance to achieve good results in the previous primary ceremonies.

It's just that this year, Beihan Pavilion's path to victory was blocked for the first time.

To be honest, it was the second time. He Lancheng glanced at Ji Jiashu who was next to Ying Baoyue. The last Beihan Pavilion also failed, but the last one was a special case.

After all, the top of the list last time was someone they couldn't get rid of or win in Beihan Pavilion.But in the end, Beihan Pavilion also won Yakui, and losing to the son of Ji Mo, the master of Southern Chu, was not a shameful thing. The last session passed smoothly.

But no one expected that this year's Northern Wei and Beihan Pavilion came with all the preparations, but met such an unexpected opponent.

Of course, this may be an opponent that practitioners on the whole continent did not expect.

He Lancheng stared at the girl in front of him. Beihan Pavilion had investigated so many practitioners who participated in the elementary ceremony before, and assassinated many of them.But who would have thought that such a woman would appear out of nowhere.

Such a... woman.

By the way, the only surviving cultivator on Beihan Pavilion's assassination list is none other than Meng Shi, the stepson of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

He Lan Chengsi and his eyes were slightly cold.

He was also a rather terrifying young man. The scene of that thin young man leading his sister to fight a bloody path with a single sword is still unforgettable to him.

It is extremely rare for a commoner to make his mark in the practice world when aristocratic families monopolize the practice world.Those who have reached Meng Shi's step are even rarer.

This requires overcoming unimaginably great difficulties. Although Meng Shi's situation cannot be separated from the fact that he met a famous teacher when he was young, even so, the young man himself is quite scary.

However, what scares He Lancheng the most about Meng Shi is not his cultivation talent, but his almost obstinate attachment to the purpose of cultivation.

The will and desire that flickered in the eyes of that skinny young man when he held the sword were quite terrifying. So far, He Lancheng has not figured out why Meng Shi practiced so hard.

But He Lancheng, who is also a sixth-level practitioner, can more or less sense that the thin young man did have a purpose to support him to move forward desperately, and finally became the strongest fire magician among young practitioners today.

At the same time, Meng Shi is even more inexplicable, that is, he is unwilling to join Beihan Pavilion even if he is dead.

What can't be used by me can only be destroyed.

A commoner was so ignorant that he was preparing to participate in the next elementary ceremony, so Beihan Pavilion naturally strangled his master when he disappeared.

After all, Meng Shi was just a commoner, not even an assassination.

But Meng Shi deserves to be the strongest fire mage in the sixth grade middle school. With such an assassination, the Northern Wei Dynasty was full of disturbances, and the image of Beihan Pavilion was almost damaged, so he didn't kill this person.

But it would be a pity to kill such a young genius.In the end, the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty came forward and accepted Meng Shi as the stepson of the Northern Wei Dynasty, ending the fighting among the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

He Lancheng's eyes darkened slightly.

So far, Meng Shi has more or less become a faction within the royal family that opposes Beihange, and is used to implicate the dominance of the Beihange family.

But in any case, Meng Shi is from the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the achievements he earned belong to the Northern Wei Dynasty.And as the big disciple of Beihan Pavilion this year, He Lancheng is also self-aware of his own level.

Although there are many people participating in Beihan Pavilion this year, he is not such a perverted existence as Tuoba Xun. This year's Beihan Pavilion is inferior to the previous one in terms of high-end combat power, and how much Meng Shi exists? make up for this deficiency.

No matter what happened, the capital of this year's preliminary ceremony should belong to the Northern Wei people, and at most two people would be separated by the Southern Chu.

however……

He Lancheng looked at the young girl who was a head shorter than him.

This year's primary ceremony has been carried out until now, and the top four games have all been taken by the people of the former Qin Dynasty.Three of them were all obtained by the former Qin Princess Ying Baoyue, who was the biggest dark horse in this year's primary ceremony.

It took half a month for the aristocratic family to start from being unbelievable, to now doubting whether this was a trick of Qianqin Bu.

If the former king of Qin, Ying Hanri, hadn't been the one who seemed really unintelligent, doubts about this might have started long ago.

Although there is no evidence for such a suspicion, but winning three top spots in a row requires long-term preparation and planning.

He Lancheng opened his eyes wide.

At least the scene where she plotted against him in Qingnao Mountain yesterday, afterwards he felt that she must have planned it for a long time!

Thinking of the joke that the ex-Princess Qin took all the top spots in Danyang City, He Lancheng originally regarded it as a joke, but after yesterday he felt that this joke was full of this woman's conspiracy.

She must have also planned a comprehensive plan for the next two games.

He had thought so.

However at this time...

He Lancheng stared at the girl in front of him, "You don't know what the competition will be in the second round?"

"I'm going to ask today," Ying Baoyue didn't know that He Lancheng's heart had turned a thousand times in just such a moment, but he was a little surprised at how the boy in front of him reacted so strongly.

After all, even if she knew it in advance, it would be of no use. The elementary ceremony was one after another, and even if she knew it, she would not have time to prepare.It's better not to think so much, and think about the next round in the interval after one round, so that the mind is more relaxed.

She looked at He Lancheng and said truthfully, "I usually finish one match before preparing for the next one."

He Lancheng didn't know what to say, "Then what were you doing before the elementary ceremony started?!"

Before starting... Ying Baoyue thought for a while and said, "I'm busy getting married."

To be more specific, he was busy being chased and killed on the road to marriage.

He Lancheng choked for a moment. The news of Qianqin and Nanchu's marriage came out three months ago, "What happened before you came to Nanchu? Three months ago?"

She was probably in the coffin at that time... Ying Baoyue said, but she couldn't tell him these things, she smiled helplessly and said to He Lancheng, "I don't have that much time."

She never had much time.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for He Lancheng's reaction, she clenched her left wrist tightly, looked at Ji Jiashu and asked, "For the second round of chess competition, how should we compare? What did you want to say just now?"

To be honest, she also guessed what the second round of the individual competition would be, but she didn't expect it to be a chess competition.

After all, the primary ceremony is to cultivate the combat ability of practitioners.

Compared with fighting and killing, the quiet way of playing chess is more like a literary fight than a martial fight. At first glance, it is quite inconsistent with the fighting style of practitioners and the original intention of the elementary ceremony.

However, it was selected as an item for the brutally competitive individual battle.

Among them, it must not be simple.

And just as Ying Baoyue guessed, Ji Jiashu's expression suddenly became complicated when he heard her words.

"The form of the game is indeed chess, but it is not ordinary chess. Compared with chess, this round is more like..."

Looking at Ying Baoyue, Ji Jiashu took a deep breath and said.

"art of war."

　Meng Shi is also a generation of strange women.
