Chapter 464: Before the Finals

"The semi-finals of the Nakano City Lord Election will end today, and the competition of the main and deputy city lords will be held tomorrow, and the final finalists, Zhu Jiafeng Jueyu, Cheng Jiacheng Shaojing, ......" After the old lady Feng Rulan gave a sunny cheer, the semi-finals officially announced the end of Mingjin.

This is probably the only thought-provoking duel, the most promising Zhong family on the first day Zhong Yuhe even used the thousand-year-old tree core rock milk, and even the ring with poison failed to break into the finals, which greatly exceeded everyone's expectations, at the same time, the reputation of Zhong Yuhe, who was respected and concerned by all the young talents, plummeted, and the name of the former handsome son is no longer yesterday, and now that he is a mouse crossing the street, I am afraid that no one will feel wronged by him.

This kind of thing is poisoning, you can choose another time to plot a sneak attack, but don't be in the competition, even if you want to use unknown insidious means to win, at least don't let it happen? Zhong Yuhe not only used insidious means, but he didn't succeed, of course, he was defeated, and this defeat is equivalent to a chicken and egg fight, losing his wife and losing his army, who can blame him?

On the contrary, the one who became famous was Feng Jueyu, this little-known kid in the preliminary round went all the way to the finals with an amazing strength, not to mention his Danshi name, this strength alone was enough for him to be promoted to the status of a genius in the middle of the heavens, and he was praised by the world. Especially later, when he subdued the Millennium Tree Heart Rock in Zhongyu River, and relied on the heavy damage of the Poison Ring, he was still able to counterattack and win, and it didn't take long for this feat to be passed down by the warriors of Zhongtian City as a good story in this world.

In the small courtyard of the Centering Pavilion, the layers of courtyard walls could not stop the laughter and frequent congratulations inside, and the people of the Zhu family and the old department of Yu Shuai led by Feng Jueyu were all present, and you discussed today's event with a word.

"I'm just that, Zhong Yuhe looked like a dog, he didn't expect a bad stomach, and fortunately he met the wind boy, otherwise he might have to fly until when?"

Zhu Yeqing nodded: "Well, I didn't expect Zhong Yuhe to be a fake righteous gentleman, now it seems that I have to re-examine this person?"

"And revisit?" Shangguan Ruofan sneered while rubbing his sword: "Brother-in-law let him, he secretly hurt people, this person is very bad." ”

"Don't talk to the head of the bamboo family like this. Shangguan Ruomeng glanced at Shangguan Ruofan.

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay. ”

Li Tong'er: "But Brother Feng, are you really okay?"

Feng Jueyu smiled: "It's okay, although the poison is strong, it won't hurt me, have you forgotten that I have a poison avoidance pill?"

Feng Jueyu can always not say that the spirit of life is a ghost, so he put all the responsibility on the poison avoidance pill, only Wang Jiutong glanced at him, smiled and didn't speak.

Zhu Yeqing's face gradually sank, and said, "There is one thing that I think my brother should be worth noting. ”

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Yeqing told Qianfengji's reflection today and his eyebrows with Zhong Wuxiu, and said in a speculative tone: "These two people have nothing to do with each other, but today it seems that Zhong Wuxiu listens to Qianfengji's words very much, and he doesn't know Weishenme?"

"Do you mean that Qian Fengji and the Zhong family have always colluded?" Feng Jueyu used the word collusion and said something unspeakable for Zhu Yeqing.

Zhu Yeqing nodded and said: "I think so too, think about it, no matter how strong the Zhong family is, it's just that the private army is strong, and the masters behind it are definitely inferior to the Ming family, Zhong Wuxiu has dared to be an enemy of the Ming family for a long time, how can there be no backer behind it." ”

He sighed: "Actually, the major families have been guessing who the people behind the Zhong family are, and today they are only showing the signs, according to me, the thousand-year-old tree core rock milk of the Zhong Yu River, as well as the ghost god Sanba, have a great relationship with Qianfengji, even if they don't, I'm afraid the relationship between them is not clear." ”

Feng Jueyu's eyes rolled: "What does my brother mean, I hit Zhong Yuhe, Zhong Wuxiu will definitely not give up, and Qian Fengji will also participate in due time?"

"Not necessarily. Qianfengji is a hidden master, no matter how high your strength is, it is impossible for him to take action in person, but Qianfengji's influence is still above the Ming family, this person can't help. ”

Wang Jiutong twisted his beard and said: "What the master of the Zhu family means is that the purpose of Qianfeng is mostly to hide the Taixuan Secret, this time Zhong Yuhe loses power, he will definitely do something, the result of the election is unknown, but you are one of the two city lords, and you will inevitably have some entanglements with him later." ”

"It doesn't hurt. Feng Jueyu didn't take it to heart: "The soldiers will come to block, and the water will cover the earth." ”

Zhu Yeqing was about to say something, but was stopped by Wang Jiutong: "Master of the Zhu family, let's stop here today, after all, the election is not over for a day, and the day is not decided, and the future will be said after tomorrow." ”

Zhu Yeqing thought for a while and nodded: "Well, it's okay to let my brother rest for a night, there will be a fierce battle tomorrow." ”

......

Contrary to the joyful atmosphere of the Dingxin Pavilion, the atmosphere in the Zhong family's mansion at this time was depressing, lifeless, the candles in the hall were beating, although there were many people, there was no sound, only the sound of Zhong Wuxiu knocking on the handrail sounded gently.

"Yu He, how is your body?"

Zhong Yuhe, who was wrapped like a dumpling in the hall, had an extremely ugly face, rubbed his chest and gritted his teeth: "Back to Grandpa, he is not crippled, but he broke a few ribs." ”

Zhong Wuxiu's complexion changed, and some words were difficult to speak, Zhong Yuhe's affairs were very clear to him, from the Endless Violent Sword, the Millennium Tree Heart Rock Milk, to the Ghost God Scattered Ring were all tools for winning the championship this time, originally these things were used for the finals, but I didn't expect that before the semi-finals, Zhong Yuhe not only used all the preparations, but even failed, which was a huge loss that the Zhong family could not bear.

But Zhong Wuxiu also knew that Zhong Yuhe tried his best, completely tried his best, and as for the inability to win, it was because they underestimated Feng Jueyu.

"Grandpa, your grandson has embarrassed you, please punish grandpa!" Zhong Yuhe knew that he had missed the opportunity to get close to the Taixuan Secret Treasure, and he was unwilling in his heart, but the Zhong family had been gathering momentum for a long time, and the biggest loss was to damage the interests of some people because of this.

Zhong Wuxiu didn't reprimand, but said: "It's not your fault, you don't need to blame yourself, you go back and rest first, I still have important things to deal with." ”

With that, Zhong Wuxiu left the hall and went straight to the backyard.

The Zhong family's mansion in Zhongtian City is the smallest one, but there is still another world in the backyard, and when he came to the small courtyard in the back garden through the flowers and willows, Zhong Wuxiu opened a rockery, revealing a secret passage, and got into it with a low body.

Behind the secret passage is a dim passage, which extends into the distance, and after walking about two incense sticks, the other end of the secret passage appears in front of Zhong Wuxiu, this is no longer Zhongtian City, but a mysterious place outside Zhongtian City, Zhong Wuxiu found a cave and drilled into it, and it took most of the night to come to a plum garden in the direction of left and right.

Most of the plum blossoms in this plum garden have declined, which is extremely miserable, but it is rich in the beauty of decline, like a picture of plum blossoms falling in winter, and the weather is myriad.

Passing through the plum garden, there is a bleak mountain under the moonlight, which goes straight into the clouds, as far as the eye can see, as if the sky is as tall and majestic, as wide and boundless.

When he came to the bottom of the mountain, Zhong Wuxiu's uprooted back bent up, and he became deferential and polite, and stood at the bottom of the mountain for a long time before he heard a low summons from the mountain: "Wuxiu, come up." ”

Zhong Wuxiu hummed, climbed up the rock and walked the wall, and after a while, he climbed the mountainside, revealing a thatched hut behind a dense bush, the thatched hut was surrounded by tall pine and bamboo, if you couldn't see the other world from the outside, and when you arrived in the pine and bamboo forest, an oil lamp lit in front of the thatched hut pointed out where the thatched hut was.

Zhong Wuxiu's expression became more and more respectful, and he bent down and walked to the door of the hut, pushed the door open, and then entered the house.

In front of a low table in the room sat an old man, who was a thousand opportunities to watch the battle on the martial arts arena during the day.

Zhong Wuxiu saw Qianfengji, half-knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said: "The teacher is above, and he will be worshiped by the apprentice." ”

Qian Fengji took the teapot on the table and poured it upside down, and said expressionlessly: "Get up." ”

"The disciple has the trust of his teacher, and he came to apologize, but he didn't dare to sit down. ”

Qian Fengji put the teapot aside, rolled up his sleeves and drank it very happily, and said: "I remember that I once told you that the Endless Violent Sword is not passed on to outsiders, this time for the sake of the Taixuan Secret Collection, it was passed on to Yu He as a last resort, and I also made it clear that if he can't sit on the position of the city lord of Nakano, I can't help you, are you looking for me to intercede now? It's useless, if Yu He succeeds in becoming the city lord, maybe he can keep the Endless Violent Sword, otherwise I will take it back personally." ”

Zhong Wuxiu shuddered: "The teacher is above, and the apprentice doesn't dare to intercede for the inferior grandson, but the matter is not over yet, and the apprentice feels that there is still a chance." ”

Qian Fengji's expression did not change: "There is still a chance? You mean the Cheng family?"

Zhong Wuxiu: "The apprentice has been moving a lot with Cheng and Lin for two years, but he has always attached importance to the development of the Lin family, although he did not expect Cheng Shaojing's strength to improve by leaps and bounds, but fortunately, the friendship in the past was good, and now he and Feng Jueyu are both the main and deputy candidates of the city lord, in fact, the difference is not big, and as far as the apprentice knows, Cheng Shaojing and Feng Jueyu have always been at odds. ”

Qian Fengji smiled: "I understand what you mean, Yuhe is out of power, you want to use the Cheng family, it's not impossible, we only look at the results and don't look at the process, you can figure out the matter of Feng Jueyu yourself, and you can just hand over the secret treasure to us when you go to Zuihou, as for the matter of Yuhe, you can wait a little longer for the teacher." ”

Zhong Wuxiu was overjoyed after hearing this: "Thank you teacher." ”

"Don't thank me, this is what everyone means, even if you don't come, the teacher will come to you. Do something for me before you go. ”

"Teacher, please speak!"

"A month ago, there was a big battle in the Henghai Desert, and we found the corpse of a demon warrior in the desert, which was already shriveled and unshaped. You go check it out, what the hell is going on?"

"Yes, Teacher!"
