It’s too dangerous to seize the direct descendant, so I choose to be the leader of the Demon Cult
Chapter 162 I’m so fierce, why would you let me sit at the kid’s table?
Chapter 162 I’m so fierce, why would you let me sit at the kid’s table?
The place where the dust-washing feast is held is called Jiuhua Palace.
In normal times, various important banquets of the Dayu Palace were held here.
Etiquette is complicated.
All kinds of rituals and music were served.
Quite grand.
Zhao Ci narrowed his eyes slightly. The specifications of this dust-cleansing banquet naturally received a lot of criticism, because the hatred against Long Yuan within Dayu was very strong, and many people did not even want to give the Long Yuan mission the treatment of envoys.
Along the way, many civil organizations even thought of assassinating them.
But they were all suppressed by the court.
As for the court, the ministers were also quarreling fiercely. They felt that the cleansing banquet of these Long Yuan barbarians was not worthy of being held in the palace.
Despite the quarrels, Zhao Huan still believed that the Longyuan Four Kingdoms had been established for hundreds of years.
Regardless of the time of founding or national strength, they all deserve this respect.
Dayu is the orthodoxy of the Central Plains and has its own majesty.
But this prestige is not established by slandering other countries.
It is established through victory in war or peace negotiation.
A word.
It has been recognized by many people.
So the dust-cleansing feast was decided.
"What Lao Deng said is quite appropriate."
"Just combining what happened 20 years ago..."
"I still feel like he's timid."
Zhao Ci rubbed his chin. Dayu has been developing steadily for 20 years. Although the internal strife between the wealthy families is quite serious, most of this internal strife is due to mutual strife.
Soldiers, horses, food and fodder can all be strengthened through actual use.
Especially after the last Gongdan Conference, the price of Qi Liandan, a physical realm cultivation resource, plummeted, and everyone's expectations for the future have become higher.
This Gongdan Conference has even more confidence.
Therefore, the civil court is full of fighting spirit.
Many people even believe that as long as they send troops this time, they will be able to regain a lot of their homeland.
Under this kind of public opinion.
Lao Deng still chose this diplomatic standard.
It can be said that Lao Deng is calm.
But this kind of excessive calmness just shows that Lao Deng understands that the strength comparison between the two sides is definitely not what most people imagine, and is even completely opposite.
The dust-washing banquet was very lively.
They were greeting each other strangely.
It's only a matter of time before it turns into a war of words.
These ones.
All are normal procedures.
Zhao Ci didn't pay too much attention, just watching the show. Sometimes he glanced at Zhu Li who was immersed in eating, and sometimes he glanced at the envoy Long Yuan with his qi-gazing technique.
He had already learned this stuff from Kan Tianji.
Then directly add points to reach full level.
Who has cultivated what divine patterns, and how powerful they are.
He can tell at a glance.
In the end, it was okay not to scan, but it was really a bit stressful to scan.
Hundreds of people.
All of them are masters.
Compared with the heroes of Dayu's age, his average strength is much higher.
So what are they planning?
And this time.
The Cleansing Banquet finally entered the stage of scolding.
"Since the Longyuan Kingdoms have come to seek peace, why not return all my hometown of Dayu!"
"Your Excellency, you are dreaming! You want to go back to the land we won with our strength in just a few words? Your names are not written on this land."
"No name written on it? Among the hundreds of cities in the Northern Territory, which city wall was not built by my Dayu craftsmen? Doesn't this count as writing our Dayu's name?
After the founding of the Longyuan Four Kingdoms, you were greedy for the convenience of the city and exploited the survivors of Dayu. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce all used our Dayu things.
If you really want to prove that you are the masters of the land, why don't you bulldoze the city, dismiss the survivors of Dayu, and abolish the system borrowed from us?
Hundreds of years have passed, and you are still holding on to our old possessions. Not only have you not let go, but you are still unwilling to make progress.Today we, Dayu, have become stronger, and you have come to seek peace, but you still don’t want to return the old things.
That being the case!
Why come here to ask for peace?
It’s better to fight! "
"Just fight, just pretend we are afraid of you!"
"In that case, Your Majesty! This battle..."
……
Wash the dust and return to the dust.
Quarrels belong to quarrels.
The two do not delay each other.
After all, the two sides have been fighting for hundreds of years, full of hatred between the country and the family.
It is impossible to let go of hatred and eat well.
Especially this cleansing banquet was originally a prelude to negotiations.
After the two sides test it out, they will know their respective attitudes. Once the attitudes are clear, the subsequent negotiations will have a direction.
Zhao Huan sat on the mountain and watched the fight between tigers and tigers, quietly watching the quarrel between the two sides.
The flames of war are burning upward layer by layer.
In the end, the prince and the fourth prince also rolled up their sleeves and left the scene to curse.
Anyway, the scolding is relatively good, no matter how ugly it is, it’s hard to see where it’s going.
Swear whatever you want.
This curse.
Sure enough, some people were scolded to the point of doubting life.
[Tuoba Bang’s current wish]: Find out whether Emperor Yu is really not afraid or not.Reward for wish completion: Comprehension value +1000, No Fear No Afraid Talisman X1.
[Dugu Qinglan’s current wish]: Find out whether Emperor Yu is really not afraid or not.Reward for wish completion: Comprehension value +1000, No Fear No Afraid Talisman X1.
[Murong Tao's current wish]: To find out whether Emperor Yu is really not afraid or not.Reward for wish completion: Comprehension value +1000, No Fear No Afraid Talisman X1.
Zhao Ci frowned slightly.
These three people are the three leaders of the Long Yuan Mission.
Looking at this wish, it is obvious that he wants to test something.
Look at Lao Deng’s head again.
[Zhao Huan’s current wish]: Let these Long Yuan barbarians believe that I am really confident.Reward for wish completion: Comprehension value +1000, Confidence Talisman X1.
Zhao Ci: "..."
And this time.
Neither side of the argument can convince anyone.
Tuoba Bang stood up directly and said: "Your Majesty Emperor Yu, what the people in the north and south need is peace, not a war of words. We have come all the way to seek peace, with the people of the world in our hearts, but Minister Yu has humiliated us in every possible way, and even If you want to drive us out of our home, please give a fair word to His Majesty Emperor Yu."
"In fairness?"
Zhao Huan stroked his beard and smiled: "Today, there are still hundreds of cities built by Dayu craftsmen that are occupied by you, and tens of millions of Dayu people are enslaved by you. If your country's request for peace only requires that the two sides not fight, then It’s a bit too unreasonable.”
As soon as this word comes out.
It was originally just a dust-cleansing banquet scene where there was a lot of talk.
Finally there was a hint of actual murderous intent.
Everyone saw that these Long Yuan barbarians were not sincere. They only talked about asking for peace, but in fact they were unwilling to offer any benefits.
Anyone who listens to this will feel unhappy.
It's just that Zhao Huan has never expressed his position, and none of them dare to be too presumptuous.
But Zhao Huan spoke up, so what else could they suppress?
a time.
At the scene of the dust-cleansing banquet, there were even fluctuations of true energy leaking out.
This accident.
This made all the Long Yuan envoys look very ugly.
Dugu Qinglan covered her mouth and smiled softly: "His Majesty Emperor Yu, there is no need to be so angry. We are here today to express our sincerity in negotiating peace.
However, the North and the South have been at odds for hundreds of years, and the conflicts cannot be resolved in a few words.
Negotiating peace is difficult to achieve overnight.
If there must be a quarrel, it must be the conditions we have put forward, and you don't agree.
We do not agree to the conditions you proposed.
It's better to put it aside for now.
Eat well!
After the north and the south understand each other, they can sit together and discuss things in peace and harmony.
how is it? "
Dugu Qinglan is a princess of a country, but she should have a lot of Central Plains people's blood, so the beauty of the foreign land also has a bit of Central Plains people's elegance.
The profile says he is 35 years old, but he looks about 27.
Zhao Huan raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Understand each other? How do you want to understand each other?"
Dugu Qinglan smiled: "I have heard for a long time that there are many talented people in Yu, and Qinglan has admired them for a long time. It is a pity that the countries in Longyuan are not knowledgeable in literary talent, so they will not humiliate themselves in literary battles.
Both the North and the South are interested in martial arts, so why not arrange a martial arts competition so that the two sides can exchange feelings? "
Hey!
As soon as this word comes out.
There was an uproar.
These people finally revealed their true purpose.
Wubi?
This time it is not a peace negotiation.
But to establish authority!
These hundreds of Longyuan people traveled thousands of miles to reach Linge alone, and they actually came here to establish their authority.
To establish their power and force Dayu to sign the peace agreement they want?
How arrogant.
Excited for a while.
"Arrogant, simply arrogant!"
"It's a martial arts competition, do you really think we're afraid of you?"
"You Longyuan people, could it be that your memory still lingers on 30 years ago, and you think that I, the great Yu'erlang, can be bullied?"
"If you want to fight, you will fight!"
Zhao Huan frowned. The group of people in front of him seemed to intimidate Dayu, and then negotiate a peace in a way that was beneficial to Long Yuan.
But he knew that these Longyuan people must have other purposes.
But what the purpose was, he really didn't know for a while.
just.
Dugu Qinglan didn't give him time to think: "Your Majesty Emperor Yu, what do you think?"
The stern look flashed in Zhao Huan's eyes, and he even had the idea of destroying all these envoys.
It's a pity that such a thing cannot be done.
First, taking action after the Longyuan people proposed a fight would appear guilty and could easily damage one's own morale.
Second, the two armies were fighting without killing the envoy. Such bad behavior would probably completely anger the four kingdoms of Longyuan.
He stroked his beard and said with a faint smile: "Since you are comparing, let's compare over there! But how to compare needs to be discussed in detail."
Dugu Qinglan smiled lightly and said: "Everyone in Longyuan knows about the reputation of Emperor Wuxian of Dayu. Foreign ministers believe that His Majesty Emperor Yu can give a fair plan for the martial arts competition so that we Longyuan people will not suffer."
"That's natural."
Zhao Huan smiled faintly and said nothing more.
The banquet continues.
After confirming the martial arts competition, there was much less bickering.
The atmosphere also became a lot colder.
peace?
What a nonsense!
What you can't get on the battlefield, you can't even get at the negotiation table.
This martial arts competition is a preview of the battlefield.
When they are hostile to each other, everyone's mood for eating naturally disappears.
The dust-washing banquet came to an abrupt end soon.
The Long Yuan delegation was brought by Eunuch Li to a manor in the south of the city as their temporary embassy.
And Zhao Huan.
He also called the founders of the mansion and the talkers from each family to the imperial study room.
……
The royal study is very large.
In the past, the small court meetings after the main court meetings were held here, and there was no feeling of crowding at all.
But there were a lot of people here today.
There is still a feeling of being crowded together.
Zhao Ci looked around and found that all the founders of Linge's mansion were here, as well as people from the clan's mansion, and all the talkers from the seven great meritorious families were also here.
I can tell.
It's a big move.
No matter what the purpose of Long Yuan's mission is.
Being able to arouse such a big reaction from the court shows that their goal has been initially successful.
Zhao Huan hasn’t come yet.
The royal study room was already lively, everyone was discussing the martial arts competition, and their words were quite indignant.
Zhao Ci didn't say anything, just silently being a marginalized person.
Not a word was said.
He waited until Zhao Huan arrived.
"Meet Your Majesty!"
"Free gift!"
Although Zhao Huan still looks old, with his majestic and angry face, he seems to be several years younger.
With a slight anger in his eyes, he glanced at everyone present: "Everyone, what do you think of this martial arts competition?"
Everyone has something to say, but there is always a certain order in speaking.
Paused for a moment.
Zhao Li took a step forward. He was the oldest among the ministers and the head of the Zongren Mansion, so he was naturally the most qualified to speak.
He said solemnly: "Your Majesty! I believe that the Long Yuan mission's move is tantamount to provocation, and we must accept this battle."
Zhao Huan nodded slightly: "Then how do you think this martial arts competition should be compared?"
Zhao Li thought for a moment and said: "At today's cleansing banquet, the old minister observed the Longyuan mission and found that there were mostly young people in the mission, most of them were under 30 years old, and many were even under 20 years old.
These barbarians are quite cunning and know that it is difficult for us, Yu Erlang, to improve his cultivation level under the age of 30.
In terms of the strength of the experts, we have never been weak.
But if we only send out masters, Barbarian Long Yuan will definitely make a fuss about his age.
Win or lose, we won’t look good on our faces.
So I think...
This time the competition should be separated by age.
Under 20 counts as one wave.
Under 35 counts as one wave.
We will send as many people as they send.
Lest it be said that we, Dayu, took advantage of them. "
Hear this.
Everyone present nodded slightly, but their expressions were a little solemn.
Regarding the strength growth curve, Dayu people majored in Shen Zang. When they completed the main and auxiliary Shen Zang, the period of substantial growth in strength had just ended, and most geniuses were under 20 years old.
Those under 20 years old have a big advantage.
After the age of 20, after the subsequent difficulties in Shenzang training, it was Long Yuan who had the advantage.
35 is old.
It is difficult for most geniuses to cultivate to the sixth level of divine treasure.
Counting it all, it would be difficult for the entire Da Yu to collect ten, and they could only rely on divine patterns and magical powers to make up for the gap in cultivation.
It can be said.
If the standard line is set at 35 years old, Dayu will suffer a great loss.
But it's already the limit, because there are very few people in the Long Yuan mission who are over 30 years old.
If you set the standard at 40 years old, it will look like you can't afford to lose.
Zhao Li, the great Zongzheng, came up with the fairest plan as soon as he opened his mouth.
But this plan is still stressful.
Set this 20 year old group.
It seems to be just to save face.
But no way.
This time, the Longyuan mission was all young people. On the premise of saving face, this seemed to be the only plan that was beneficial to Dayu.
Zhao Huan glanced at everyone: "What do you think?"
Everyone hesitated.
Zhao Huan frowned slightly: "Prince, please show your attitude!"
The prince hurriedly stepped forward: "Father! I think what Da Zongzheng said is right. I will prepare well to face the master of Long Yuan!"
Although the words are said sonorously.
But his face is really not pretty.
Because he is 31 years old, at the fifth level of Shen Zang, and is attacking the sixth level of Shen Zang.
This time, if you win this challenge, everything will be easy, but if you lose, it will be uncomfortable.
The goal of Long Yuan's mission this time was definitely not to influence the position of the crown prince of Dayu, but it put a lot of pressure on the crown prince out of thin air.
The prince has expressed his stance.
The fourth prince also hurriedly stepped forward: "My sons and ministers should also fight hard!"
"Very good!"
Zhao Huan nodded and glanced at everyone again: "Since all the ministers have no objection to Zong Zheng's suggestion, then this martial arts competition has been decided.
Three days later, each ethnic group and government will submit the list of people who meet the age requirements.
Within these three days, all masters from the eight tribes who are above the sixth level of Linge's Shen Cang should establish a support department.
The list will be determined by the War Assistance Department, and the martial arts competition will be held three months later. Anyone on the list will receive fifty merit quotas, which can be exchanged for training resources from the clan's merit bank.
If you win, training resources will be provided for free.
If it's negative, you only have to pay back half.
People on the list can ask anyone in the Assistance Department to assist in cultivation, and they cannot be refused. "
Everyone looked at each other.
It can be seen that the emperor is serious.
All masters above the sixth level of Shen Zang serve as sparring partners, and even provide massive training resources.
It's not just the royal family that's bleeding blood.
The seven great meritorious families will all bleed heavily.
After all, the clan's merit library was crowdfunded by the eight major clans.
What's more, when the masters of the eight major clans come to give guidance and practice, they are bound to come up with a lot of bottom-of-the-box things.
This……
Really terrifying.
It's up!
This was completely fought as the first battle of the Northern Expedition.
Are there any other reasons for rejection?
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Very good!"
Zhao Huan stroked his beard and smiled: "Since the war stopped 20 years ago, we in Dayu have not had this kind of united will for a long time!" He smiled quite happily. Although he was not sure what the Longyuan Kingdoms wanted to do, he had One thing is certain, the Longyuan Mission wants to win.
Only by winning can they achieve their goals.
So even if there was heavy bleeding, he had to stabilize the situation this time.
Just win.
Every blood you shed has meaning.
It will even return some blood.
This time, if everyone takes out what is at the bottom of the box, the royal family will surely benefit.
This war is about the dignity of each family, and it is difficult to hide secrets.
"His Majesty!"
Zhao Li took another step forward.
Zhao Huan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Zong Zheng, please speak!"
Zhao Li looked a little solemn: "Although the martial arts competition has been decided, the competition system has not yet been decided. Is it going to be a drawing of lots or a fight between the two sides?"
As soon as this word comes out.
Everyone present was hesitant.
Since it is a competition between the North and the South, a winner or loser will naturally have to be determined based on the country.
In a draw of lots, both sides win or lose, and success or failure is determined by the score.
In fighting, the winner keeps fighting until he is defeated or defeats everyone on the other side.
The difference is.
The latter is very suitable for the display of personal heroism.
As long as the final winner is Dayu, the overall decline can be reversed.
Things happened so fast, from the time when the martial arts competition was proposed to now, it only took a stick of incense.
Most people are immersed in either irritable or excited emotions.
Only Zhao Li got to the crux of the problem so quickly.
If there is no arena competition.
The group under 35 years old has a high probability of losing.
But if it's an arena match, there's still a chance of winning.
Everyone looked at each other.
They expressed their opinions one after another.
"I believe that if you are elected to compete in the arena and fight to the end, no matter you win or lose, you should do it to the end."
"My minister agrees!"
"My minister agrees!"
In just a moment, all the ministers present reached a unified opinion.
Zhao Huan also followed suit and quickly finalized the plan.
but.
After the consensus was reached, many people's eyes fell on Zhao Ci.
The big wave of the Five Elements Prison has been suppressed by the Zongren Mansion and various families, and basically no outsiders know about the changes.
But they couldn't have known it.
They all knew about Zhao Ci and Wanjun's forcible killing of the scum of the clan.
Although, that person's real strength is only at the fourth level of Shen Zang. Even if he borrows the cultivation level of Shen Zang's sixth level, it is impossible to exert his full strength. At most, he can be as good as the masters at the fifth level of Shen Zang.
Although, Zhao Ci's terrifying power is most likely due to Zhuge Xiao's terrifying magic circle.
But killing by force is killing by force.
At that time, Zhao Ci didn't even reach the second level of Shen Zang, but he must have reached the second level of Shen Zang now.
Participate in the martial arts competition this time.
It must be a crushing advantage.
There is no possibility of defeat.
joke.
Under the age of 20, one can single-handedly kill the sixth level of Shen Zang. Even if a monster appears in Long Yuan, it cannot be more outrageous than Zhao Ci.
This is also the reason why Zhao Ci has attracted countless attention even though he has not made any moves recently.
It's really scary.
If Zhao Ci shows his strong dominance again this time, he may cause considerable trouble.
soon.
Zhu Gong then took a step forward: "Your Majesty! His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince has not yet reached the age of twenty, but he is already extremely powerful. There is absolutely no possibility of losing in this arena for those under the age of 20.
I believe that His Highness the Tenth Prince has the right to hold the stage in this arena. "
As soon as this word comes out.
The princelings and the four princes all agreed.
"Your Majesty, I think Lord Zhu is right."
"His Royal Highness Tenth is extremely talented and worthy of the important responsibilities!"
"Other than His Highness Tenth Prince, no one can take on this important task!"
Pressure platform.
That was the last appearance.
only.
In the under-20 arena, Dayu already has an advantage.
It is very likely that Long Yuan will not be able to support the winner.
"Tsk..."
Zhao Ci couldn't help but smacked his lips, these dogs' minds were spinning really fast.
We have just developed a strategy for dealing with foreign enemies.
I started thinking about internal fighting.
I have been so low-key.
Are you still so afraid of me being in the limelight?
Honestly.
He was actually quite indifferent to this martial arts competition.
Because Wubi is just an appearance.
He wanted to find out what was beneath the surface.
It's just that the ugly faces of these "teammates" are really off-putting.
disgust.
Disgusted to the extreme.
Especially when I think of the scene where Xiang Tiange and the soldiers who served the country sincerely died outside Hanhaiguan, a city wall covered with magnificent formations.
He was so sick that he wanted to vomit!
Zhao Huan also looked at Zhao Ci: "Ci'er, do you want to take over this position?"
As soon as this word comes out.
Everyone looked at Zhao Ci.
Many people have already prepared in their hearts that Zhao Ci doesn't want to accept the offer. At that time, they will use various oral methods to force Zhao Ci to accept the offer.
Unexpectedly.
"Take it! Why don't you answer it?"
Zhao Ci raised his hands with a solemn expression and said, "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Father! I believe that this position of supremacy belongs to me."
Ok?
The princelings and the four princes were stunned for a moment.
Others sighed secretly, feeling that Zhao Ci was too naive and didn't realize the pitfalls in this.
But right now.
"but……"
Zhao Ci changed the topic: "I don't want to sit at the kid's table. I want to compete in the arena where the real masters want to compete. Father, I can also sign up for the arena under 35 years old, right?"
"what?"
"what?"
"what?"
Exclamations came and went.
Everyone looked at Zhao Ci in shock.
Even Zhao Huan's brows trembled when he heard this.
This……
Are all young people today so rebellious?
I won’t let you shine in the small arena.
You just choose the big arena to go crazy?
Zhao Ci frowned slightly: "What? Do you think that with my strength, I am not worthy of competing in this arena?"
Everyone: "..."
Say something.
It really matches.
No matter how many external factors were involved in the Five Elements Prison, there is no doubt about Zhao Ci's strength. No one knows what his second divine treasure is.
But it is certain that even among the masters of the fifth level of Shenzang, the current Zhao Ci is not weak, and his strength is fully enough to compete in the big arena.
But in the big arena, many of them are long-established masters from the north and south.
As long as Zhao Ci can win a game, his reputation will be...
The prince frowned and said with a smile: "Old Ten! Although your strength can be used in a big arena, it is more meaningful to put it on a small arena."
"Meaning? What meaning?"
Zhao Ci sneered and asked: "Is it gold-plated? Brother Huang, I cultivated martial arts to serve the country, not to get muddy in the vanity fair.
Although the small arena is more relaxed, it is too dirty!
It's so dirty that when I look at it, it reminds me of all the dirty things in the Five Elements Prison.
everyone!
I am still young, and I am not able to think as carefully as you do about many things.
I'm not that smart.
But I am a mysophobic person.
I just want to use the martial arts skills gained through hard training where they should be used.
Instead of being buried in the mud of fame and fortune!
Also.
I would like to remind you that national wars are no small matter, and any selfishness may lead to a total loss. "
some words.
Every word is sonorous.
He didn't hide the contempt on his face at all.
One sentence, another sentence.
Give it directly to dry red and warm.
Zhu Gong couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, what are you saying..."
Zhao Ci was not polite at all, and directly waved his hand to interrupt: "Uncle Zhu Shi, just because I don't pursue some things doesn't mean they don't exist anymore. I just want to serve the country, and I hope you don't bring shame on yourself!"
Zhu Gong: "!!!"
Everyone: "!!!"
Is this not saving any face for Zhu Gong?
Not only Zhu Gong, but also Feng Zhu Yanggong and the four people from the families involved in the incident all had faces as black as coal.
That thing before.
Zhao Ci chose to go private. Although the lion asked for a lot of things, everyone was decent.
But this time.
A rebuke that is almost a slap in the face.
Is Zhao Ci unwilling to stay at all?
The corner of Zhuge Weiyue's mouth rose crazily when she heard this. She used to think that Zhao Ci was a bit out of tune. No matter how strong he was, the upper limit could not be too high.
but now……
This kind of indignant personality really reminded him of an old friend.
Kan Xingri.
Your son-in-law has such an appetite for you!
It's a pity you're dead.
What's even more pity is that you were too young when you died, and you randomly chose a baby born by another woman who admired you. Otherwise, I would have been the one to continue the bloodline of your Kan family.
What a pity, what a pity...
Fortunately, Zhuge Xiao was lucky enough to find a promising boss after changing jobs.
Hold back your laughter!
Otherwise, it is easy to be bitten by a mad dog.
never mind!
I can't help it!
"Hahaha! What a good boy, you are capable of doing great things. If you are so strong, you should be a strong man from the Four Kingdoms of Longyuan. What is your ability to bully children? And you may not be able to bully him."
Zhu Gong: "???"
Everyone: "..."
a time.
Their faces grew darker.
But no one refuted her at this juncture. Firstly, she couldn't refute it, and secondly, she didn't directly target them.
Zhu Gong forced out a smile: "His Royal Highness Tenth has misunderstood. I am waiting for this proposal just because..."
"Oh?"
Zhao Ci asked back: "Did I also misunderstand Uncle Zhu Shi that time in the Five Elements Prison?"
Zhu Gong: "..."
I can't talk today.
Zhao Ci turned around and looked at Zhao Huan: "Father! Please grant my request. If this martial arts competition does not give me a chance to display my martial arts, I will not participate at all!"
Zhao Huan: "..."
He thought for a moment.
Finally he stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "Okay! What a good boy! He is indeed my son, Zhao Huan. Since you are willing to take the initiative, I will give you this chance to win. Zong Zheng, take note of him!"
"Yes!"
Zhao Li's white brows trembled slightly, and he turned to look at Zhao Ci with complicated eyes.
It seems to be relief, but also seems to have some other emotions.
The eyes of all the sect ministers also fell on Zhao Ci, who looked quite excited.
Zhao.
I have always preferred macho men.
then.
Wu Bi's plan was just finalized.
Zhao Huan looked very tired, so he dismissed the ministers.
There is a distance from the imperial study room to the entrance of the palace.
Many people from the princelings and the four princes wanted to whisper a few words, but when they saw that Zhao Ci was not far away, they all lost the desire to speak.
I was afraid that those words would offend Zhao Ci, and he would be ridiculed again.
On the other hand, the talkers of the Xiang family and Zhuge Weiyue nagged Zhao Ci, asking him not to feel pressured and to perform well in the ring.
Out of the palace gate.
Zhao Cicai grabbed Zhao Yong and said, "Yongzi!"
"Old, old ten..."
Zhao Yong subconsciously took half a step back, feeling uncomfortable all over.
Although his ambition to become stronger has never dissipated.
But for more than a year, Zhao Ci has really shadowed him.
In the martial arts competition, although he was crushed, Zhao Ci did not give him the feeling of being invincible.
But starting from Spring Hunting, things became outrageous. Zhao Ci stared at the Three Houses Alliance and directly killed the ridiculously strong Ying Rui.
The time in the Five Elements Prison was even more like a nightmare.
The shadows are too heavy!
Especially since I had attacked him so many times, it was absolutely impossible for me not to have any murderous intentions at all.
Zhao Cili was delighted: "What are you afraid of? I won't mess with you!"
Zhao Yong forced a smile: "Old Shi, if you have something to say, just say it. Stop laughing, I'm afraid!"
Zhao Ci looked him up and down: "You have reached the third level of Shen Zang? You are really fast in practicing!"
Zhao Yong: "..."
His expression began to look extremely unnatural.
He quickly explained: "I have been left behind so much by you, so of course I have to practice more diligently. In the big arena, you just have to let go and do whatever you want. I will guard the small arena. There will be no problem. See you later!"
Say it.
He hurriedly got into his carriage.
Zhao Ci looked at his back thoughtfully.
At this moment, Yongzi possesses three levels of divine treasure.
A high-level divine treasure in the physical body.
Zhao's Lung Gold is of high grade.
Xiang's kidney water...low level of heaven grade?
"It's fucking unscientific!"
If I remember correctly, Yongzi was the main metal and deputy fire at the beginning. How could he cultivate the kidney water divine pattern so outrageously in the blink of an eye?
If the prediction is correct, this must have something to do with Mr. Kan.
This little old man must have a big plan.
But this thing.
Designation can affect me!
Lao Deng took away Yongzi's kidney water divine pattern, so he started to have ideas for his little aunt?
Zhao Ci rubbed his chin. Today he chose to compete in the big arena. His disgust and anger were part of it, but it was not the main part. The main thing was that Yongzi's cultivation was not right.
Faced with Lao Deng and several companies competing for reserves.
If you just keep silent, you will only become more and more passive.
We really need to pick a moment and have a real say.
Otherwise, the designated life will be very disgusting.
……
South of the city.
manor.
Tuoba Bang enjoyed the delicacies ordered from the best restaurant, and couldn't help but praise: "These people from the Southern Dynasty really know how to enjoy themselves, but they can do such tricks with just an elbow. Although we also have Southerners there. The imperial chef is quite inferior in comparison."
Dugu Qinglan smiled faintly: "There are many delicious and fun things in Linge. It's not too late to enjoy them slowly after the martial arts competition. But these days, we still focus on cultivation. Don't let me, the warrior of Longyuan, This intoxication has corrupted my mind."
"That's natural!"
Tuoba Bang waved his hand, but his mouth didn't stop at all.
Murong Tao chuckled and said nothing more.
Dugu Qinglan looked at Tuoba Yangqiu: "Yangqiu, tell me everything you saw and heard in Linge!"
Tuoba Yangqiu was also unlucky. He was banned just after coming to the song.
Although I have sneaked out many times, I can always feel that someone is secretly following me.
As a result, the real things that should be done are not done at all.
He told the story exactly as it happened.
Dugu Qinglan couldn't help but frown and said: "This Emperor of Yu State doesn't seem to be afraid of us. It seems that we did guess wrong before."
Tuoba Yangqiu couldn't help but said: "If they are not afraid, we will beat them until they are afraid! If we are banned for three months, I will avenge our shame!"
Dugu Qinglan smiled slightly and said: "Just let go and do whatever you want! You don't have to hold back, there's no problem in killing people!"
Say it.
Chong Tuobabang and Murong Tao nodded.
Then he disappeared directly into the manor.
A quarter of an hour later.
In an inn in the northern suburbs of Linge.
Dugu Qinglan appeared out of thin air, glanced at the woman who was holding her chin up while reading, and sat down opposite her with a smile.
The woman raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly: "Sister Qinglan has finally arrived?"
"I just came to see you after socializing."
Dugu Qinglan poured a cup of tea by herself. After drinking it, she asked with a smile: "Where is Ying Rui?"
(End of this chapter)
The place where the dust-washing feast is held is called Jiuhua Palace.
In normal times, various important banquets of the Dayu Palace were held here.
Etiquette is complicated.
All kinds of rituals and music were served.
Quite grand.
Zhao Ci narrowed his eyes slightly. The specifications of this dust-cleansing banquet naturally received a lot of criticism, because the hatred against Long Yuan within Dayu was very strong, and many people did not even want to give the Long Yuan mission the treatment of envoys.
Along the way, many civil organizations even thought of assassinating them.
But they were all suppressed by the court.
As for the court, the ministers were also quarreling fiercely. They felt that the cleansing banquet of these Long Yuan barbarians was not worthy of being held in the palace.
Despite the quarrels, Zhao Huan still believed that the Longyuan Four Kingdoms had been established for hundreds of years.
Regardless of the time of founding or national strength, they all deserve this respect.
Dayu is the orthodoxy of the Central Plains and has its own majesty.
But this prestige is not established by slandering other countries.
It is established through victory in war or peace negotiation.
A word.
It has been recognized by many people.
So the dust-cleansing feast was decided.
"What Lao Deng said is quite appropriate."
"Just combining what happened 20 years ago..."
"I still feel like he's timid."
Zhao Ci rubbed his chin. Dayu has been developing steadily for 20 years. Although the internal strife between the wealthy families is quite serious, most of this internal strife is due to mutual strife.
Soldiers, horses, food and fodder can all be strengthened through actual use.
Especially after the last Gongdan Conference, the price of Qi Liandan, a physical realm cultivation resource, plummeted, and everyone's expectations for the future have become higher.
This Gongdan Conference has even more confidence.
Therefore, the civil court is full of fighting spirit.
Many people even believe that as long as they send troops this time, they will be able to regain a lot of their homeland.
Under this kind of public opinion.
Lao Deng still chose this diplomatic standard.
It can be said that Lao Deng is calm.
But this kind of excessive calmness just shows that Lao Deng understands that the strength comparison between the two sides is definitely not what most people imagine, and is even completely opposite.
The dust-washing banquet was very lively.
They were greeting each other strangely.
It's only a matter of time before it turns into a war of words.
These ones.
All are normal procedures.
Zhao Ci didn't pay too much attention, just watching the show. Sometimes he glanced at Zhu Li who was immersed in eating, and sometimes he glanced at the envoy Long Yuan with his qi-gazing technique.
He had already learned this stuff from Kan Tianji.
Then directly add points to reach full level.
Who has cultivated what divine patterns, and how powerful they are.
He can tell at a glance.
In the end, it was okay not to scan, but it was really a bit stressful to scan.
Hundreds of people.
All of them are masters.
Compared with the heroes of Dayu's age, his average strength is much higher.
So what are they planning?
And this time.
The Cleansing Banquet finally entered the stage of scolding.
"Since the Longyuan Kingdoms have come to seek peace, why not return all my hometown of Dayu!"
"Your Excellency, you are dreaming! You want to go back to the land we won with our strength in just a few words? Your names are not written on this land."
"No name written on it? Among the hundreds of cities in the Northern Territory, which city wall was not built by my Dayu craftsmen? Doesn't this count as writing our Dayu's name?
After the founding of the Longyuan Four Kingdoms, you were greedy for the convenience of the city and exploited the survivors of Dayu. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce all used our Dayu things.
If you really want to prove that you are the masters of the land, why don't you bulldoze the city, dismiss the survivors of Dayu, and abolish the system borrowed from us?
Hundreds of years have passed, and you are still holding on to our old possessions. Not only have you not let go, but you are still unwilling to make progress.Today we, Dayu, have become stronger, and you have come to seek peace, but you still don’t want to return the old things.
That being the case!
Why come here to ask for peace?
It’s better to fight! "
"Just fight, just pretend we are afraid of you!"
"In that case, Your Majesty! This battle..."
……
Wash the dust and return to the dust.
Quarrels belong to quarrels.
The two do not delay each other.
After all, the two sides have been fighting for hundreds of years, full of hatred between the country and the family.
It is impossible to let go of hatred and eat well.
Especially this cleansing banquet was originally a prelude to negotiations.
After the two sides test it out, they will know their respective attitudes. Once the attitudes are clear, the subsequent negotiations will have a direction.
Zhao Huan sat on the mountain and watched the fight between tigers and tigers, quietly watching the quarrel between the two sides.
The flames of war are burning upward layer by layer.
In the end, the prince and the fourth prince also rolled up their sleeves and left the scene to curse.
Anyway, the scolding is relatively good, no matter how ugly it is, it’s hard to see where it’s going.
Swear whatever you want.
This curse.
Sure enough, some people were scolded to the point of doubting life.
[Tuoba Bang’s current wish]: Find out whether Emperor Yu is really not afraid or not.Reward for wish completion: Comprehension value +1000, No Fear No Afraid Talisman X1.
[Dugu Qinglan’s current wish]: Find out whether Emperor Yu is really not afraid or not.Reward for wish completion: Comprehension value +1000, No Fear No Afraid Talisman X1.
[Murong Tao's current wish]: To find out whether Emperor Yu is really not afraid or not.Reward for wish completion: Comprehension value +1000, No Fear No Afraid Talisman X1.
Zhao Ci frowned slightly.
These three people are the three leaders of the Long Yuan Mission.
Looking at this wish, it is obvious that he wants to test something.
Look at Lao Deng’s head again.
[Zhao Huan’s current wish]: Let these Long Yuan barbarians believe that I am really confident.Reward for wish completion: Comprehension value +1000, Confidence Talisman X1.
Zhao Ci: "..."
And this time.
Neither side of the argument can convince anyone.
Tuoba Bang stood up directly and said: "Your Majesty Emperor Yu, what the people in the north and south need is peace, not a war of words. We have come all the way to seek peace, with the people of the world in our hearts, but Minister Yu has humiliated us in every possible way, and even If you want to drive us out of our home, please give a fair word to His Majesty Emperor Yu."
"In fairness?"
Zhao Huan stroked his beard and smiled: "Today, there are still hundreds of cities built by Dayu craftsmen that are occupied by you, and tens of millions of Dayu people are enslaved by you. If your country's request for peace only requires that the two sides not fight, then It’s a bit too unreasonable.”
As soon as this word comes out.
It was originally just a dust-cleansing banquet scene where there was a lot of talk.
Finally there was a hint of actual murderous intent.
Everyone saw that these Long Yuan barbarians were not sincere. They only talked about asking for peace, but in fact they were unwilling to offer any benefits.
Anyone who listens to this will feel unhappy.
It's just that Zhao Huan has never expressed his position, and none of them dare to be too presumptuous.
But Zhao Huan spoke up, so what else could they suppress?
a time.
At the scene of the dust-cleansing banquet, there were even fluctuations of true energy leaking out.
This accident.
This made all the Long Yuan envoys look very ugly.
Dugu Qinglan covered her mouth and smiled softly: "His Majesty Emperor Yu, there is no need to be so angry. We are here today to express our sincerity in negotiating peace.
However, the North and the South have been at odds for hundreds of years, and the conflicts cannot be resolved in a few words.
Negotiating peace is difficult to achieve overnight.
If there must be a quarrel, it must be the conditions we have put forward, and you don't agree.
We do not agree to the conditions you proposed.
It's better to put it aside for now.
Eat well!
After the north and the south understand each other, they can sit together and discuss things in peace and harmony.
how is it? "
Dugu Qinglan is a princess of a country, but she should have a lot of Central Plains people's blood, so the beauty of the foreign land also has a bit of Central Plains people's elegance.
The profile says he is 35 years old, but he looks about 27.
Zhao Huan raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Understand each other? How do you want to understand each other?"
Dugu Qinglan smiled: "I have heard for a long time that there are many talented people in Yu, and Qinglan has admired them for a long time. It is a pity that the countries in Longyuan are not knowledgeable in literary talent, so they will not humiliate themselves in literary battles.
Both the North and the South are interested in martial arts, so why not arrange a martial arts competition so that the two sides can exchange feelings? "
Hey!
As soon as this word comes out.
There was an uproar.
These people finally revealed their true purpose.
Wubi?
This time it is not a peace negotiation.
But to establish authority!
These hundreds of Longyuan people traveled thousands of miles to reach Linge alone, and they actually came here to establish their authority.
To establish their power and force Dayu to sign the peace agreement they want?
How arrogant.
Excited for a while.
"Arrogant, simply arrogant!"
"It's a martial arts competition, do you really think we're afraid of you?"
"You Longyuan people, could it be that your memory still lingers on 30 years ago, and you think that I, the great Yu'erlang, can be bullied?"
"If you want to fight, you will fight!"
Zhao Huan frowned. The group of people in front of him seemed to intimidate Dayu, and then negotiate a peace in a way that was beneficial to Long Yuan.
But he knew that these Longyuan people must have other purposes.
But what the purpose was, he really didn't know for a while.
just.
Dugu Qinglan didn't give him time to think: "Your Majesty Emperor Yu, what do you think?"
The stern look flashed in Zhao Huan's eyes, and he even had the idea of destroying all these envoys.
It's a pity that such a thing cannot be done.
First, taking action after the Longyuan people proposed a fight would appear guilty and could easily damage one's own morale.
Second, the two armies were fighting without killing the envoy. Such bad behavior would probably completely anger the four kingdoms of Longyuan.
He stroked his beard and said with a faint smile: "Since you are comparing, let's compare over there! But how to compare needs to be discussed in detail."
Dugu Qinglan smiled lightly and said: "Everyone in Longyuan knows about the reputation of Emperor Wuxian of Dayu. Foreign ministers believe that His Majesty Emperor Yu can give a fair plan for the martial arts competition so that we Longyuan people will not suffer."
"That's natural."
Zhao Huan smiled faintly and said nothing more.
The banquet continues.
After confirming the martial arts competition, there was much less bickering.
The atmosphere also became a lot colder.
peace?
What a nonsense!
What you can't get on the battlefield, you can't even get at the negotiation table.
This martial arts competition is a preview of the battlefield.
When they are hostile to each other, everyone's mood for eating naturally disappears.
The dust-washing banquet came to an abrupt end soon.
The Long Yuan delegation was brought by Eunuch Li to a manor in the south of the city as their temporary embassy.
And Zhao Huan.
He also called the founders of the mansion and the talkers from each family to the imperial study room.
……
The royal study is very large.
In the past, the small court meetings after the main court meetings were held here, and there was no feeling of crowding at all.
But there were a lot of people here today.
There is still a feeling of being crowded together.
Zhao Ci looked around and found that all the founders of Linge's mansion were here, as well as people from the clan's mansion, and all the talkers from the seven great meritorious families were also here.
I can tell.
It's a big move.
No matter what the purpose of Long Yuan's mission is.
Being able to arouse such a big reaction from the court shows that their goal has been initially successful.
Zhao Huan hasn’t come yet.
The royal study room was already lively, everyone was discussing the martial arts competition, and their words were quite indignant.
Zhao Ci didn't say anything, just silently being a marginalized person.
Not a word was said.
He waited until Zhao Huan arrived.
"Meet Your Majesty!"
"Free gift!"
Although Zhao Huan still looks old, with his majestic and angry face, he seems to be several years younger.
With a slight anger in his eyes, he glanced at everyone present: "Everyone, what do you think of this martial arts competition?"
Everyone has something to say, but there is always a certain order in speaking.
Paused for a moment.
Zhao Li took a step forward. He was the oldest among the ministers and the head of the Zongren Mansion, so he was naturally the most qualified to speak.
He said solemnly: "Your Majesty! I believe that the Long Yuan mission's move is tantamount to provocation, and we must accept this battle."
Zhao Huan nodded slightly: "Then how do you think this martial arts competition should be compared?"
Zhao Li thought for a moment and said: "At today's cleansing banquet, the old minister observed the Longyuan mission and found that there were mostly young people in the mission, most of them were under 30 years old, and many were even under 20 years old.
These barbarians are quite cunning and know that it is difficult for us, Yu Erlang, to improve his cultivation level under the age of 30.
In terms of the strength of the experts, we have never been weak.
But if we only send out masters, Barbarian Long Yuan will definitely make a fuss about his age.
Win or lose, we won’t look good on our faces.
So I think...
This time the competition should be separated by age.
Under 20 counts as one wave.
Under 35 counts as one wave.
We will send as many people as they send.
Lest it be said that we, Dayu, took advantage of them. "
Hear this.
Everyone present nodded slightly, but their expressions were a little solemn.
Regarding the strength growth curve, Dayu people majored in Shen Zang. When they completed the main and auxiliary Shen Zang, the period of substantial growth in strength had just ended, and most geniuses were under 20 years old.
Those under 20 years old have a big advantage.
After the age of 20, after the subsequent difficulties in Shenzang training, it was Long Yuan who had the advantage.
35 is old.
It is difficult for most geniuses to cultivate to the sixth level of divine treasure.
Counting it all, it would be difficult for the entire Da Yu to collect ten, and they could only rely on divine patterns and magical powers to make up for the gap in cultivation.
It can be said.
If the standard line is set at 35 years old, Dayu will suffer a great loss.
But it's already the limit, because there are very few people in the Long Yuan mission who are over 30 years old.
If you set the standard at 40 years old, it will look like you can't afford to lose.
Zhao Li, the great Zongzheng, came up with the fairest plan as soon as he opened his mouth.
But this plan is still stressful.
Set this 20 year old group.
It seems to be just to save face.
But no way.
This time, the Longyuan mission was all young people. On the premise of saving face, this seemed to be the only plan that was beneficial to Dayu.
Zhao Huan glanced at everyone: "What do you think?"
Everyone hesitated.
Zhao Huan frowned slightly: "Prince, please show your attitude!"
The prince hurriedly stepped forward: "Father! I think what Da Zongzheng said is right. I will prepare well to face the master of Long Yuan!"
Although the words are said sonorously.
But his face is really not pretty.
Because he is 31 years old, at the fifth level of Shen Zang, and is attacking the sixth level of Shen Zang.
This time, if you win this challenge, everything will be easy, but if you lose, it will be uncomfortable.
The goal of Long Yuan's mission this time was definitely not to influence the position of the crown prince of Dayu, but it put a lot of pressure on the crown prince out of thin air.
The prince has expressed his stance.
The fourth prince also hurriedly stepped forward: "My sons and ministers should also fight hard!"
"Very good!"
Zhao Huan nodded and glanced at everyone again: "Since all the ministers have no objection to Zong Zheng's suggestion, then this martial arts competition has been decided.
Three days later, each ethnic group and government will submit the list of people who meet the age requirements.
Within these three days, all masters from the eight tribes who are above the sixth level of Linge's Shen Cang should establish a support department.
The list will be determined by the War Assistance Department, and the martial arts competition will be held three months later. Anyone on the list will receive fifty merit quotas, which can be exchanged for training resources from the clan's merit bank.
If you win, training resources will be provided for free.
If it's negative, you only have to pay back half.
People on the list can ask anyone in the Assistance Department to assist in cultivation, and they cannot be refused. "
Everyone looked at each other.
It can be seen that the emperor is serious.
All masters above the sixth level of Shen Zang serve as sparring partners, and even provide massive training resources.
It's not just the royal family that's bleeding blood.
The seven great meritorious families will all bleed heavily.
After all, the clan's merit library was crowdfunded by the eight major clans.
What's more, when the masters of the eight major clans come to give guidance and practice, they are bound to come up with a lot of bottom-of-the-box things.
This……
Really terrifying.
It's up!
This was completely fought as the first battle of the Northern Expedition.
Are there any other reasons for rejection?
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Very good!"
Zhao Huan stroked his beard and smiled: "Since the war stopped 20 years ago, we in Dayu have not had this kind of united will for a long time!" He smiled quite happily. Although he was not sure what the Longyuan Kingdoms wanted to do, he had One thing is certain, the Longyuan Mission wants to win.
Only by winning can they achieve their goals.
So even if there was heavy bleeding, he had to stabilize the situation this time.
Just win.
Every blood you shed has meaning.
It will even return some blood.
This time, if everyone takes out what is at the bottom of the box, the royal family will surely benefit.
This war is about the dignity of each family, and it is difficult to hide secrets.
"His Majesty!"
Zhao Li took another step forward.
Zhao Huan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Zong Zheng, please speak!"
Zhao Li looked a little solemn: "Although the martial arts competition has been decided, the competition system has not yet been decided. Is it going to be a drawing of lots or a fight between the two sides?"
As soon as this word comes out.
Everyone present was hesitant.
Since it is a competition between the North and the South, a winner or loser will naturally have to be determined based on the country.
In a draw of lots, both sides win or lose, and success or failure is determined by the score.
In fighting, the winner keeps fighting until he is defeated or defeats everyone on the other side.
The difference is.
The latter is very suitable for the display of personal heroism.
As long as the final winner is Dayu, the overall decline can be reversed.
Things happened so fast, from the time when the martial arts competition was proposed to now, it only took a stick of incense.
Most people are immersed in either irritable or excited emotions.
Only Zhao Li got to the crux of the problem so quickly.
If there is no arena competition.
The group under 35 years old has a high probability of losing.
But if it's an arena match, there's still a chance of winning.
Everyone looked at each other.
They expressed their opinions one after another.
"I believe that if you are elected to compete in the arena and fight to the end, no matter you win or lose, you should do it to the end."
"My minister agrees!"
"My minister agrees!"
In just a moment, all the ministers present reached a unified opinion.
Zhao Huan also followed suit and quickly finalized the plan.
but.
After the consensus was reached, many people's eyes fell on Zhao Ci.
The big wave of the Five Elements Prison has been suppressed by the Zongren Mansion and various families, and basically no outsiders know about the changes.
But they couldn't have known it.
They all knew about Zhao Ci and Wanjun's forcible killing of the scum of the clan.
Although, that person's real strength is only at the fourth level of Shen Zang. Even if he borrows the cultivation level of Shen Zang's sixth level, it is impossible to exert his full strength. At most, he can be as good as the masters at the fifth level of Shen Zang.
Although, Zhao Ci's terrifying power is most likely due to Zhuge Xiao's terrifying magic circle.
But killing by force is killing by force.
At that time, Zhao Ci didn't even reach the second level of Shen Zang, but he must have reached the second level of Shen Zang now.
Participate in the martial arts competition this time.
It must be a crushing advantage.
There is no possibility of defeat.
joke.
Under the age of 20, one can single-handedly kill the sixth level of Shen Zang. Even if a monster appears in Long Yuan, it cannot be more outrageous than Zhao Ci.
This is also the reason why Zhao Ci has attracted countless attention even though he has not made any moves recently.
It's really scary.
If Zhao Ci shows his strong dominance again this time, he may cause considerable trouble.
soon.
Zhu Gong then took a step forward: "Your Majesty! His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince has not yet reached the age of twenty, but he is already extremely powerful. There is absolutely no possibility of losing in this arena for those under the age of 20.
I believe that His Highness the Tenth Prince has the right to hold the stage in this arena. "
As soon as this word comes out.
The princelings and the four princes all agreed.
"Your Majesty, I think Lord Zhu is right."
"His Royal Highness Tenth is extremely talented and worthy of the important responsibilities!"
"Other than His Highness Tenth Prince, no one can take on this important task!"
Pressure platform.
That was the last appearance.
only.
In the under-20 arena, Dayu already has an advantage.
It is very likely that Long Yuan will not be able to support the winner.
"Tsk..."
Zhao Ci couldn't help but smacked his lips, these dogs' minds were spinning really fast.
We have just developed a strategy for dealing with foreign enemies.
I started thinking about internal fighting.
I have been so low-key.
Are you still so afraid of me being in the limelight?
Honestly.
He was actually quite indifferent to this martial arts competition.
Because Wubi is just an appearance.
He wanted to find out what was beneath the surface.
It's just that the ugly faces of these "teammates" are really off-putting.
disgust.
Disgusted to the extreme.
Especially when I think of the scene where Xiang Tiange and the soldiers who served the country sincerely died outside Hanhaiguan, a city wall covered with magnificent formations.
He was so sick that he wanted to vomit!
Zhao Huan also looked at Zhao Ci: "Ci'er, do you want to take over this position?"
As soon as this word comes out.
Everyone looked at Zhao Ci.
Many people have already prepared in their hearts that Zhao Ci doesn't want to accept the offer. At that time, they will use various oral methods to force Zhao Ci to accept the offer.
Unexpectedly.
"Take it! Why don't you answer it?"
Zhao Ci raised his hands with a solemn expression and said, "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Father! I believe that this position of supremacy belongs to me."
Ok?
The princelings and the four princes were stunned for a moment.
Others sighed secretly, feeling that Zhao Ci was too naive and didn't realize the pitfalls in this.
But right now.
"but……"
Zhao Ci changed the topic: "I don't want to sit at the kid's table. I want to compete in the arena where the real masters want to compete. Father, I can also sign up for the arena under 35 years old, right?"
"what?"
"what?"
"what?"
Exclamations came and went.
Everyone looked at Zhao Ci in shock.
Even Zhao Huan's brows trembled when he heard this.
This……
Are all young people today so rebellious?
I won’t let you shine in the small arena.
You just choose the big arena to go crazy?
Zhao Ci frowned slightly: "What? Do you think that with my strength, I am not worthy of competing in this arena?"
Everyone: "..."
Say something.
It really matches.
No matter how many external factors were involved in the Five Elements Prison, there is no doubt about Zhao Ci's strength. No one knows what his second divine treasure is.
But it is certain that even among the masters of the fifth level of Shenzang, the current Zhao Ci is not weak, and his strength is fully enough to compete in the big arena.
But in the big arena, many of them are long-established masters from the north and south.
As long as Zhao Ci can win a game, his reputation will be...
The prince frowned and said with a smile: "Old Ten! Although your strength can be used in a big arena, it is more meaningful to put it on a small arena."
"Meaning? What meaning?"
Zhao Ci sneered and asked: "Is it gold-plated? Brother Huang, I cultivated martial arts to serve the country, not to get muddy in the vanity fair.
Although the small arena is more relaxed, it is too dirty!
It's so dirty that when I look at it, it reminds me of all the dirty things in the Five Elements Prison.
everyone!
I am still young, and I am not able to think as carefully as you do about many things.
I'm not that smart.
But I am a mysophobic person.
I just want to use the martial arts skills gained through hard training where they should be used.
Instead of being buried in the mud of fame and fortune!
Also.
I would like to remind you that national wars are no small matter, and any selfishness may lead to a total loss. "
some words.
Every word is sonorous.
He didn't hide the contempt on his face at all.
One sentence, another sentence.
Give it directly to dry red and warm.
Zhu Gong couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, what are you saying..."
Zhao Ci was not polite at all, and directly waved his hand to interrupt: "Uncle Zhu Shi, just because I don't pursue some things doesn't mean they don't exist anymore. I just want to serve the country, and I hope you don't bring shame on yourself!"
Zhu Gong: "!!!"
Everyone: "!!!"
Is this not saving any face for Zhu Gong?
Not only Zhu Gong, but also Feng Zhu Yanggong and the four people from the families involved in the incident all had faces as black as coal.
That thing before.
Zhao Ci chose to go private. Although the lion asked for a lot of things, everyone was decent.
But this time.
A rebuke that is almost a slap in the face.
Is Zhao Ci unwilling to stay at all?
The corner of Zhuge Weiyue's mouth rose crazily when she heard this. She used to think that Zhao Ci was a bit out of tune. No matter how strong he was, the upper limit could not be too high.
but now……
This kind of indignant personality really reminded him of an old friend.
Kan Xingri.
Your son-in-law has such an appetite for you!
It's a pity you're dead.
What's even more pity is that you were too young when you died, and you randomly chose a baby born by another woman who admired you. Otherwise, I would have been the one to continue the bloodline of your Kan family.
What a pity, what a pity...
Fortunately, Zhuge Xiao was lucky enough to find a promising boss after changing jobs.
Hold back your laughter!
Otherwise, it is easy to be bitten by a mad dog.
never mind!
I can't help it!
"Hahaha! What a good boy, you are capable of doing great things. If you are so strong, you should be a strong man from the Four Kingdoms of Longyuan. What is your ability to bully children? And you may not be able to bully him."
Zhu Gong: "???"
Everyone: "..."
a time.
Their faces grew darker.
But no one refuted her at this juncture. Firstly, she couldn't refute it, and secondly, she didn't directly target them.
Zhu Gong forced out a smile: "His Royal Highness Tenth has misunderstood. I am waiting for this proposal just because..."
"Oh?"
Zhao Ci asked back: "Did I also misunderstand Uncle Zhu Shi that time in the Five Elements Prison?"
Zhu Gong: "..."
I can't talk today.
Zhao Ci turned around and looked at Zhao Huan: "Father! Please grant my request. If this martial arts competition does not give me a chance to display my martial arts, I will not participate at all!"
Zhao Huan: "..."
He thought for a moment.
Finally he stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "Okay! What a good boy! He is indeed my son, Zhao Huan. Since you are willing to take the initiative, I will give you this chance to win. Zong Zheng, take note of him!"
"Yes!"
Zhao Li's white brows trembled slightly, and he turned to look at Zhao Ci with complicated eyes.
It seems to be relief, but also seems to have some other emotions.
The eyes of all the sect ministers also fell on Zhao Ci, who looked quite excited.
Zhao.
I have always preferred macho men.
then.
Wu Bi's plan was just finalized.
Zhao Huan looked very tired, so he dismissed the ministers.
There is a distance from the imperial study room to the entrance of the palace.
Many people from the princelings and the four princes wanted to whisper a few words, but when they saw that Zhao Ci was not far away, they all lost the desire to speak.
I was afraid that those words would offend Zhao Ci, and he would be ridiculed again.
On the other hand, the talkers of the Xiang family and Zhuge Weiyue nagged Zhao Ci, asking him not to feel pressured and to perform well in the ring.
Out of the palace gate.
Zhao Cicai grabbed Zhao Yong and said, "Yongzi!"
"Old, old ten..."
Zhao Yong subconsciously took half a step back, feeling uncomfortable all over.
Although his ambition to become stronger has never dissipated.
But for more than a year, Zhao Ci has really shadowed him.
In the martial arts competition, although he was crushed, Zhao Ci did not give him the feeling of being invincible.
But starting from Spring Hunting, things became outrageous. Zhao Ci stared at the Three Houses Alliance and directly killed the ridiculously strong Ying Rui.
The time in the Five Elements Prison was even more like a nightmare.
The shadows are too heavy!
Especially since I had attacked him so many times, it was absolutely impossible for me not to have any murderous intentions at all.
Zhao Cili was delighted: "What are you afraid of? I won't mess with you!"
Zhao Yong forced a smile: "Old Shi, if you have something to say, just say it. Stop laughing, I'm afraid!"
Zhao Ci looked him up and down: "You have reached the third level of Shen Zang? You are really fast in practicing!"
Zhao Yong: "..."
His expression began to look extremely unnatural.
He quickly explained: "I have been left behind so much by you, so of course I have to practice more diligently. In the big arena, you just have to let go and do whatever you want. I will guard the small arena. There will be no problem. See you later!"
Say it.
He hurriedly got into his carriage.
Zhao Ci looked at his back thoughtfully.
At this moment, Yongzi possesses three levels of divine treasure.
A high-level divine treasure in the physical body.
Zhao's Lung Gold is of high grade.
Xiang's kidney water...low level of heaven grade?
"It's fucking unscientific!"
If I remember correctly, Yongzi was the main metal and deputy fire at the beginning. How could he cultivate the kidney water divine pattern so outrageously in the blink of an eye?
If the prediction is correct, this must have something to do with Mr. Kan.
This little old man must have a big plan.
But this thing.
Designation can affect me!
Lao Deng took away Yongzi's kidney water divine pattern, so he started to have ideas for his little aunt?
Zhao Ci rubbed his chin. Today he chose to compete in the big arena. His disgust and anger were part of it, but it was not the main part. The main thing was that Yongzi's cultivation was not right.
Faced with Lao Deng and several companies competing for reserves.
If you just keep silent, you will only become more and more passive.
We really need to pick a moment and have a real say.
Otherwise, the designated life will be very disgusting.
……
South of the city.
manor.
Tuoba Bang enjoyed the delicacies ordered from the best restaurant, and couldn't help but praise: "These people from the Southern Dynasty really know how to enjoy themselves, but they can do such tricks with just an elbow. Although we also have Southerners there. The imperial chef is quite inferior in comparison."
Dugu Qinglan smiled faintly: "There are many delicious and fun things in Linge. It's not too late to enjoy them slowly after the martial arts competition. But these days, we still focus on cultivation. Don't let me, the warrior of Longyuan, This intoxication has corrupted my mind."
"That's natural!"
Tuoba Bang waved his hand, but his mouth didn't stop at all.
Murong Tao chuckled and said nothing more.
Dugu Qinglan looked at Tuoba Yangqiu: "Yangqiu, tell me everything you saw and heard in Linge!"
Tuoba Yangqiu was also unlucky. He was banned just after coming to the song.
Although I have sneaked out many times, I can always feel that someone is secretly following me.
As a result, the real things that should be done are not done at all.
He told the story exactly as it happened.
Dugu Qinglan couldn't help but frown and said: "This Emperor of Yu State doesn't seem to be afraid of us. It seems that we did guess wrong before."
Tuoba Yangqiu couldn't help but said: "If they are not afraid, we will beat them until they are afraid! If we are banned for three months, I will avenge our shame!"
Dugu Qinglan smiled slightly and said: "Just let go and do whatever you want! You don't have to hold back, there's no problem in killing people!"
Say it.
Chong Tuobabang and Murong Tao nodded.
Then he disappeared directly into the manor.
A quarter of an hour later.
In an inn in the northern suburbs of Linge.
Dugu Qinglan appeared out of thin air, glanced at the woman who was holding her chin up while reading, and sat down opposite her with a smile.
The woman raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly: "Sister Qinglan has finally arrived?"
"I just came to see you after socializing."
Dugu Qinglan poured a cup of tea by herself. After drinking it, she asked with a smile: "Where is Ying Rui?"
