--------- "Seeing Apricot Blossoms in the North, Zhao Ji"

Only Dongxue and Xiang Nan said that it is not suitable to drink and celebrate at present, after all, the poison of butterfly powder has just passed a few days, and it is better for everyone to be cautious if there are other dirty means for those who are secretly watching.

Tie Chao thought about it and felt that what they said was also very reasonable, so he had to announce that after the game, no matter whether the result was a win or a loss, a big banquet would be held to entertain everyone.

Although everyone didn't go to the Erwang Mansion to dine at night, Tie Chao still sent someone to bring a lot of delicacies to his partners who lived in the side hall.

After a long night, everyone practiced diligently, and in a blink of an eye, it was the early morning of the next day.

Because of the increase in the number of people who failed or abstained from the game, the number of people who participated in the game the next day was significantly smaller, and the number of princes and ministers watching the game was also much reduced.

Shi Jiu: The first thing they did when they entered the coaching field was to continue to draw lots.

This time, Duan Wushuang no longer looked like a child, he touched a nameplate number in a decent manner, and then quietly sat back in his seat and waited for the referee's announcement.

The number of players in the second round has decreased significantly, so it is not yet noon, and the round is over.

This half-day game was completely one-sided for Shi Jiu and them.

Because Shi Jiu and their combat strength was blazing, almost all of them easily defeated their opponents, and the second prince Tie Chao, who was watching the battle, shouted excitedly again and again, as if he was the one who won in the ring.

His high-profile performance is nothing more than to let all the princes and nobles know that his disciples have strong strength, and let all the princes and ministers know that his palace is still a force that the empire cannot ignore.

According to the rules of the game, the third round of knockout can be directly continued in the afternoon, and there are less than 30 people who have entered the third round, and the real game is only ten pairs, and it will not take half a day to decide the winner.

However, except for a few people who unilaterally agreed, everyone else expressed their reluctance to continue the game in the afternoon, and the head of the inner court announced a temporary suspension this afternoon.

At the same time, Li Laifu also announced that tomorrow morning in the semi-finals and afternoon finals, the top three will directly receive the royal invitation issued by the eldest prince!

When Shi Jiu and they were chatting in the afternoon, Tie Chao brought a message that tomorrow's three invitations will be invitations signed by the eldest prince Tiefei himself, which means that the invitations obtained in the competition are the designated champions, runners-up and third runners-up, and their names are marked.

Because with the specific signature, the object of the invitation is the only object, so the winners will be the three people who have the safest invitation in this Empire Invitational Tournament.

This attraction far outweighed the idea of snatching other invitations, especially Dongxue, whose target was the Li family in the cold land of the Desert Arctic, and she was even preparing to issue an order to abandon the pursuit of the Li family in Mobei.

But Shi Jiu stopped Dongxue's flying pigeon transmission in time, telling her that everything would wait until the end of the game to decide that it was not too late, and there were still many uncontrollable factors before that.

Because the competition in the past two days was extremely smooth, Duan Wushuang and Brother Scar replaced the wine with tea and tasted the delicious food sent by Tie Chao, as if they were already celebrating the victory in advance.

The excited conversation didn't last long, Shi Jiu suddenly said something, like a basin of cold water poured on the two of them.

Shi Jiu said: "Let me ask you two a little question, what if we all win tomorrow? Who will get the final three invitations?"

The two people who were very excited just now suddenly fell into an inexplicable sadness, as Shi Jiu said, it doesn't matter who wins, there are only three invitations in the end, who should they give to?

Brother Scar and Duan Wushuang were speechless, as Shi Jiu said, if everyone is the winner, who should they give with only three invitations?

Duan Wushuang looked at the dazzling array of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and no longer had an appetite, she looked at Shi Jiu blankly and asked, "Brother Jiu, what should I do then?" Anyway, my combat power is the lowest, so why don't I let it go? I will lose directly in the end!"

Brother Scar immediately said: "My combat power is not high, if you say let, I can't take the turn of Wushuang, I must be the first to lose!"

"Haha, are you going to admit defeat than this?" Shi Jiu smiled and said: "When you competed in martial arts, you all fought to win, why are you fighting to lose now? Haha, who are you going to lose to?"

Duan Wushuang suddenly realized: "Yes, who will you lose to?"

Shi Jiu said: "We can do our best for the interests of our friends, but if we think about losing in our subjective consciousness, we are no longer thinking about our friends." Even if you can end up with an invitation that someone else deliberately loses the game, you won't be at ease. You say don't you?"

Brother Scar nodded and said, "It seems to be the truth!"

Shi Jiu said: "Therefore, in the next game, we don't need to be afraid, we just need to do our best, whether the opponent is our partner, or the children of other princes and nobles, lose and lose frankly, win and win!"

Duan Wushuang said thoughtfully: "Brother Jiu, I understand!"

"I'm a starless clansman!" Shi Jiu said with a smile, "Give it a go, don't forget that I can still leave you the last hope." ”

Brother Scar asked, "Lao Jiu, are you ready to release the water?"

Shi Jiu smiled: "Don't worry, I will decide according to the timing, at least the next game will not release the water, after all, the draw results see that my opponent is not our member, and I can give you a chance at the critical moment of the remaining game." ”

The semi-finals came as scheduled.

Although no one abstained from the game today, the number of players and spectators continued to decrease, and the huge coaching field seemed deserted.

But all the participants were extremely nervous, everyone went through a few knockout matches, and they were able to continue to stand on the coaching field. They have a lot of each other, hoping that their opponents will not be too strong.

The process of drawing lots is lightning fast, but everyone is mysterious, and they quickly hide in their arms with the number nameplate, as if they are afraid that others will see it.

The eldest prince Tie Fei came a little later than usual, Tie Saihua sat with him and chatted, and Li Laifu, the head of the inner court, stood on the side and waited, because the number of players was relatively small, even if it was not three rings competing at the same time, it was more than enough to decide the top six in the morning.
