Five days passed in a flash.

Hua Duxiu slept in the room for five days.

Except for eating and dissolving, Young Master Hua rarely gets out of bed.

It seems that he is so hygienic and addicted to bathing, and in the past five days, he only took a good bath when he left the customs on the last night.

After soaking for two hours, I fell asleep directly in the barrel.

It's like exhausting from all the physical work I've done.

The disciple of Ji Zong stationed outside the door said secretly: Isn't Hua Duxiu suffering from some strange disease?

If you don't sleep, you'll die, and if you wake up, you'll be sleepy?

Otherwise, he slept for five days, why did he finally "get out" and still sleep?

Why did Young Master Hua sleep as soon as he was in retreat, I am afraid that this will forever become a mystery and spread in Ji Zong.

The five days of Young Master Hua's retreat were uneventful, and the sand city outside had changed greatly.

In order to welcome the arrival of the imperial prince, almost all the 100,000 garrisons of the city of sand took to the streets, and the whole city was surrounded by a solemn and solemn atmosphere.

All the streets were cleaned, the things on both sides of the streets were neat and tidy, and all the people, rich and poor, were required to change into the cleanest and most decent clothes.

Except for those who were disheveled, unkempt and even unkempt, all of them were arrested by the street patrol samurai, forcibly shaved and bathed, and then re-released.

Even some scavengers, beggars, and wealthy merchants organized by the government to send them new clothes and food, and locked them in specific places and did not allow them to go out on the streets.

On the street, in addition to the imperial warriors who are five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry, and then there are the Mobei warriors who come one after another.

According to the invitation of the Governor, all martial arts sects in the Mobei Realm, regardless of size, sent their own high-ranking and prestigious bigwigs to watch the finals of this martial arts conference, and participated in the martial arts conference after the finals.

It is impossible for these bigwigs to come in person, and a large number of disciples and disciples around them have followed.

The entire Sand City is really overcrowded.

The Governor stood on the high watchtower of the Governor's Palace, silently taking a bird's-eye view of the city.

Behind him were the city lord of Sand City, the chief of the Governor's Mansion, the general, the owner of the Hundred Treasure Manor, the commander of the Sticky Pole Division, and others.

Governor Ma sighed: "Our Sand City is still a little smaller." ”

The chief manager said with a smile: "The governor is more popular than Xiao Han, and this matter has been done so generously, even if the Sand City is a few laps bigger, I am afraid that it is still not worthy of the courage of the adults." ”

Governor Ma asked, "When will His Royal Highness the Prince arrive?"

The chief steward said, "We will enter the city at midnight." ”

Governor Ma said, "Are you still not allowed to go out of the city to meet me?"

The chief steward bowed and said, "Yes." The humble post asked for instructions several times, and the instructions he got were still to vacate the east city gate, and His Royal Highness the prince and his entourage should enter the city in a low-key manner, trying not to disturb the people in the city. ”

Governor Ma sighed and waved his hand:

"Okay, then completely clear the official road between the East City Gate and the Governor's Palace, and no one can appear within ten zhang of the left and right, and no one must collide with His Highness's honor guard. ”

The chief pipe: "Humble obedience." ”

Governor Ma fell silent again, quietly overlooking the entire Sand City.

The imperial prince crossed Mobei and stayed between Mobei and the ancestral Miao realm, and he knew the reason for this.

Even taking the opportunity to invite His Royal Highness the prince to the Sand City to watch the celebration of the Mobei Youth Martial Arts Conference, which also happened to be in line with the purpose of the prince's coming north.

As for the rest......

Governor Ma had a difficult choice for a while, and decided to wait for His Royal Highness the Prince to arrive before making a decision.

......

Early the next morning.

The city of sand is bustling, the army battalion is heavily gathered, and the martial arts arena is no longer something that ordinary people can come to if they want to come.

That's right, in the last one, tickets for the martial arts arena are restricted, and money may not be able to buy them.

Ticket buyers must pass the review of the city lord's office, and the clan elders will guarantee it to ensure that the three generations of the direct family and the side generation are all right, and those who are completely political/politically reliable are eligible to buy tickets.

As a result, a large number of foreign merchants were completely disqualified from spectating the battle.

Of the 20,000 spectators, one-third are local reliable viewers in the Sand City, one-third are the leaders of the large and small sects in the Mobei Realm, and one-third are plainclothes and secret agents installed by the Mobei Governor's Palace, as well as unidentified special groups.

Such a high quality of spectators is rare in the world, and it has never appeared in previous martial arts conferences.

The layout of the North Stand is very different from the layout of the previous days.

An area in the middle is isolated, and above it is a specially made lavish hanging shed, with a heavy purple brocade cloth on the left and right behind.

Directly in front is a translucent white gauze.

Inside the hanging shed, needless to say, there must be His Royal Highness the Imperial Prince, as well as a number of leading figures in the Mobei Realm.

There are also many maids who fan to keep the air circulating and the temperature cool in the hanging shed.

Outside the hanging shed, there are three layers of security forces densely surrounded.

The inner layer is the Ouchi guard, the middle is the captain of the Sticky Pole Division of the Northern Realm, and the outer layer is the elite samurai of the army.

From the hanging shed, you can see almost the entire competition field, and the view is very wide.

But from the outside, there is hardly any detail inside the hanging shed.

The old routine, a high wooden platform was erected on the martial arts field, and Governor Ma was full of energy, and he talked a lot of nonsense.

The previous referee was replaced, and Xie Liting, the general of the Governor's Palace, was covered in bright armor and personally stood on the edge of the competition to order the game.

Hua Duxiu and Beiguo Tienan arrived at the martial arts arena early, standing under the wooden platform bored, listening to Governor Ma's nonsense.

Fortunately, the sky is full of white clouds, and it is not too hot to block the scorching sun.

Taking advantage of Governor Ma's speech, Hua Duxiu squinted his eyes and looked carefully towards the north stand.

Young Master Hua's eyes seemed to be narrowed into a slit, but in fact, he could see the interior of the huge hanging shed in the north stand clearly.

It's like his eyes can pull the distance in infinitely.

Hua Duxiu's heart moved: The little fat man sitting in the middle is the prince of the empire?

That's too unsightly, isn't it?

He is about twenty years old, not very tall, his face is fat, and his demeanor is not very serious and calm, but he is laughing and chatting with the people around him.

If it weren't for the fact that his clothes had the special dragon line dark pattern of the royal family, he really couldn't see his identity as a prince.

Hua Duxiu said secretly: Alas, I thought that I Hua Duxiu would be quite good, walking sideways in the Trapped Demon Valley, and I also walked sideways when I came to Mobei, but when I met this little fat man, I knew how high the sky was and how thick the ground was.

If it weren't for my eyes, I wouldn't even have a chance to see what this little fat man looks like.

can only fight with the little black egg hard, and perform well for others to see, just like playing monkey.

Status!

A world of difference.

Hua Duxiu shook his head and sighed with emotion.

Beiguo Tienan was about a zhang away from Hua Duxiu, and he was also looking at the gorgeous hanging shed.

It's a pity that he doesn't have Hua Duxiu's extraordinary eyesight, he can't see anything, only the hanging white veil, and the darkness behind the white veil.

The corners of Beiguo Tienan's mouth moved slightly, and a string of voices slowly flowed into Hua Duxiu's ears.

"Can you see him?"

Hua Duxiu was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Beiguo Tienan.

Beiguo Tienan's eyes glanced at the luxurious hanging shed.

The corners of Hua Duxiu's mouth moved, and the voice was transmitted towards Guo Tienan's ears with the internal force.

"Little black egg, if you fight hard for a while, His Royal Highness the prince will enjoy watching it, maybe he can reward you as a palace maid or something. ”

Beiguo Tienan's nose exhaled violently, as if he was choked by Hua Duxiu's words.

Alas, I really don't want to talk to someone like you.

After a while, Beiguo Tienan transmitted again:

"I've investigated, and you were besieged by several waves of people before you came. They seem to be aiming at something around your neck?"

Hua Duxiu frowned.

Oh, little black egg, are you investigating me?

It can't be the idea that even you will beat my baby, right?

Isn't this thing supposed to be very mysterious and rare, how does it seem that everyone I meet knows its value?

Beiguo Tienan's voice came again: "You can see the figure behind the white yarn, is this ability related to your pendant?"

Hua Duxiu was very vigilant.

I just looked at the dignity of the prince of the empire, and sighed a few times, so that the little black egg could see the clues?

Hua Duxiu said: "My eyes are naturally extraordinary, and I have perspective skills, and now you are a naked man in my eyes." ”

Beiguo Tienan's chest rose and fell.

This flower has a hole in his brain, right?

Probably many people who communicate with Hua Duxiu for the first time will have this kind of thought.

The same is true for Beiguo Tienan.

But Beiguo Tienan seemed to be very patient, and sent a message again:

"What's in your pendant?"

Hua Duxiu said: "It is the most beautiful sapphire in the world, it is worth a fortune, and you can't afford to buy my gem even if you sell all your Iron King Temple." ”

Beiguo Tie snorted softly in a manly manner.

Obviously, Hua Duxiu is talking nonsense.

After five days of retreat, Young Master Hua could vaguely guess something.

And Beiguo Tienan cared so much about his pendant, obviously he also guessed something.

Everyone probably guessed right, and guessed a piece.

Hua Duxiu took the initiative to transmit the voice and asked: "Little Black Egg, what does the 'power of the Demon Dao' have to do with the 'Demon Qi' in ancient legends?"

Beiguo Tienan's body was shocked, and he turned his head to look at Hua Duxiu, with a hint of "sure enough" in his eyes.

Beiguo Tienan transmitted: "Do you want to know?"

Hua Duxiu said: "If you want to say it, just say it, forget it, I'm not interested." ”

Beiguo Tienan snorted: "Not very interested, if my guess is correct, there is a small piece of animal skin map hidden in the golden pendant around your neck, right?"

Hua Duxiu asked rhetorically, "What animal skin map?"

Beiguo Tienan sneered and was silent.

Hua Duxiu had long guessed that this would be the end.

The eyes that can shock people's spiritual sense, the mysterious black electricity, must be from the "demonic energy".

He can enter the supernatural world, he can find something, and so can others.

Even further than he went.

Like Bao, he belongs to the kind of people who starve to death in Jinshan, and he is completely unaware of the value and significance of developing map fragments.

In the Nine Realms of the World, many people know that there is "demonic energy", but only a very few people know about "animal skin fragments".

It's like a lot of people know that there is a treasure behind the door, but they don't know where the door is, and they don't know that they need a key to open the door.

"Demonic Qi" is the door to open the treasure, and "Beast Skin Fragment" is the key hidden in the deepest part by the giants of the Nine Realms of the world.

Hua Duxiu sighed in her heart.

Alas, it's really a good thing that doesn't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.

It's over, it's estimated that after the martial arts conference, the Iron King Temple will also list me as a target for capture, just like the sticky pole division.

However, this also shows in disguise that the Iron King Temple does have map fragments.

The news given by my father is that there are map fragments in the ancestral Miao realm, but it is not clear where it is.

The Iron King Temple is the force of the Ancestral Miao Realm, and if they say so, the fragment of the map of the Ancestral Miao Realm is afraid that it is in their hands.

Save trouble, don't look for it anymore, know the goal.

It's just that this goal is many times more difficult than the Leopard King Gate.

There are no outsiders, and they are all participants in the exploration of "demonic energy".

Sooner or later, either your own piece will be snatched away by others, or you will rob others.

Can't be wrong.

Thinking of this, Hua Duxiu simply asked:

"Little Black Egg, how many pieces of animal skin fragments do you have in your collection?"
