The seventeenth year of the Great Liang, December 17.

Liu Jingchen stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, casting his eyes on the heavy snow outside.

Xie Fei sat in front of the charcoal fire, he stared at the bowl in his hand, and said, "Mr. Liu doesn't need to worry, there will be a gladiatorial competition in two days, and when the competition is over, I can help Mr. find him." ”

Liu Jingchen turned around and smiled slightly, and teased: "I think you should be more worried now, right? 10,000 gold coins is not a small amount." ”

Xie Fei smiled: "It's naturally good to get those rewards, but I still have self-knowledge." The Li family of the Sugar Alliance has won the top spot for several consecutive years, and I don't know where to find a giant named Muto, I just do my best and obey the destiny of heaven. ”

Liu Jingchen said: "In this way, it seems that it is not easy for the Moon City Lord to make your young master stand out this year. ”

Xie Fei replied: "If the Li family of the Sugar Alliance didn't intend to give in, it would be difficult. It's only been two days until the tournament, and there is no news from the city lord's side, so there must be no intention of winning. ”

"I wonder who Young Master Xie found this year?"

"Some unknown assassins and dart masters, just join in the fun. ”

Liu Jingchen smiled bitterly and stopped talking.

"Mr. Liu, can you help me figure out who will win the gladiatorial tournament this year? Xie Fei glanced up at Liu Jingchen, full of anticipation.

Liu Jingchen thought about it for a while, and became interested. "I can try, and it's not always accurate. There are a lot of factors that can affect the results, and I can only extrapolate the results under normal circumstances. ”

After saying that, he sat cross-legged on the carpet and closed his eyes like an old monk. Suddenly, in his outstretched hands, some magical symbols surged out, spinning rapidly above, sometimes they gathered, sometimes scattered, all kinds of symbols intertwined to emit brilliant brilliance, and finally all kinds of symbols slowly sank into his palm.

After a long time, Liu Jingchen slowly opened his eyes, and he seemed to be still immersed in the illusion just now.

Xie Fei looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Mr. Liu, is there a result?"

Liu Jingchen frowned and met his gaze. "You won't believe it. ”

Xie Fei asked rhetorically, "City Lord?"

Liu Jingchen nodded solemnly.

Xie Fei said disdainfully: "It turns out that there is a reason why you can't find Feng Chenyang. ”

Liu Jingchen smiled bitterly. "Are you laughing at me for not being able to count?"

Xie Fei turned his head to look at him. "Has Mr. Liu been accurate before?"

Liu Jingchen thought for a while, and said solemnly: "It seems that I haven't calculated accurately, not once." But you can bet once this time, and now the odds of betting on the city lord are very high!"

Xie Fei took a sip of tea and looked at the rising tea mist and pondered for a while. "Are you serious, Sorcerer?"

Wujiabao.

Feng Chenyang looked at the four people on the practice ground with a sad face.

The cold wind howled and rolled up the snow, and it seemed that it could no longer be quiet, just like the mood of the wind and dust.

Finally, Feng Chenyang pointed to Boss Wu, who was unfamiliar with holding a knife, and said, "Are you joking, right? It is difficult for such a person to survive on the battlefield, but you let them pay me to go to the dueling arena?"

Boss Wu pointed to the well-trained man's cheeks and said, "It's not all like that!"

Feng Chenyang's heart was sad, and he asked the girl who was standing next to him, "Sister, can I regret it now?"

The maid's face flushed. "Who's your sister? There are two days to go, can you concentrate a little bit?" It's no child's play when you talk to the young lady about good things. ”

"Give me 5,000 gold coins and I'll go, and you can save half of it." Feng Chenyang hung his head, a little depressed.

"Why did we give you five thousand gold coins, and let you go?" the maid looked puzzled.

"I can't win anyway, according to the agreement, I have 10,000 gold coins if I lose. In this situation now, you will definitely lose, you have to give 10,000 gold coins, we will each take a step back, I will not participate in the competition, you just need to give me 5,000 gold coins!"

The maid's face suddenly pulled the old man. "Don't even think about it!"

Feng Chenyang hung dissatisfaction on his face. "Then I won't survive. ”

In the evening, when the maid had finished reporting to her young lady what had happened during the day, she walked slowly to the ledge, leaned herself on the railing, and looked thoughtfully at the gray plain with her big melancholy eyes.

After a while, she turned her head to look at her maid and asked softly, "Did he tell you that if he dies in battle, who will take his 10,000 gold coins?"

The maid replied, "He asked Boss Wu to deliver the gold coins to a man named Andrew in Riverrun. ”

The young lady smiled wryly. "Isn't he stupid? Do you really want to exchange your life for those 10,000 gold coins?"

The girl retorted, "Isn't Miss also stupid? I believe that someone like Boss Wu can find some peerless master." ”

"My father rarely lets me go out, so who can I know except the three Wu brothers?

"Maybe the city lord is just testing the young lady, the city lord may not really care about the victory or defeat this time, and besides, haven't we always been the last one before. ”

"Xiaoqing, this time is really different, my father has never been so strict, and he also said that time is running out, I don't know what he is referring to, and I have some bad feelings in my heart. So, I must work hard and not let my father down. ”

Xiaoqing looked at the young lady's face in a trance, and didn't know how to comfort her. "Miss, why don't I go and urge that scoundrel tomorrow and let him prepare well. ”

"Which scoundrel?"

"Who else? Naturally, the wind and dust are raised. ”

The young lady was a little confused, frowned and asked, "Why is he a scoundrel?"

"Miss, do you know? He actually ...... He even asked us to give him five thousand gold coins and let him escape, which is even more scoundrel than a scoundrel!" Xiaoqing was obviously still angry.

The young lady burst out laughing, as if she hadn't been so happy for a long time. "This is a dusty ......," she didn't know how to describe this strange fellow for a moment.

Xiaoqing didn't know what the young lady was laughing at, although she didn't understand, she laughed along. "Is he a scoundrel?"

The young lady looked at Xiaoqing and said, "Please give me five thousand gold coins so that I can escape!"

Then, the two girls laughed, and the laughter like silver bells was blown far away by the cold wind.

"Alas~ It's a girl after all!" A deep sigh came clearly from outside the door.

The two beautiful little girls immediately put away their smiles and became flustered. Xiaoqing immediately lowered her head, took a few steps back, and stood on the position where a maid should stand.

A burly figure pushed open the door and walked in slowly. His steps were heavy, and every step seemed to trample on the hearts of the two of them.
