Chapter 374: Layers of Screening
"Bold! you ......"
The palace people who were waiting for him immediately roared and were about to scold Qin Muyao, but the empress raised her hand to stop them.
The empress looked at her, her majestic eyes carrying the aura of a superior person: "What is your purpose?"
Qin Muyao didn't speak, but looked at the palace man who scolded her just now.
The empress narrowed her eyes and waved everyone down, and it seemed that only the two of them were left in the entire study.
Qin Muyao pursed her lips and looked directly into the empress's eyes: "I mean, it's just the two of us." ”
As she spoke, she raised her hand and gestured to a spot behind the Empress, then moved her fingers to the side. After a pause, he moved to other places.
There were more than a dozen pauses in a row. With each pause, the Empress's face stiffened.
Every place that this little boy refers to, without exception, has her secret guards, and not even a single secret guard is missed.
The empress's face was gloomy, and her eyes were obviously guarded: "Who are you?"
Qin Muyao's face did not change: "Naturally, he is the one who helps you." ”
The Empress looked into her eyes, as if hesitating.
After a long time, she finally waved her hand. Although the guards hesitated, they still obeyed the order and left.
"Can you say it now?" the empress showed her momentum, if it were an ordinary person, she would definitely have a sense of oppression.
Qin Muyao's momentum was not weak at all: "I will help you stabilize the government of the Southern Qi Kingdom, and you will promise me one condition." ”
The Empress was silent for a moment, and looked straight into her eyes. After a long time, she slowly spoke: "What conditions?"
Qin Muyao pursed her lips: "If I face the temple in the future, what I want is your support." ”
"Temple?" the Empress frowned rarely, "You want to be an enemy of the Temple?"
Qin Muyao didn't hide it at all, and admitted very simply: "Yes!"
The Empress didn't answer, didn't say anything, just looked down at the table, not knowing what she was thinking.
After a long time, she finally spoke, but she still didn't raise her head: "The size of the temple is unimaginable, if you want to go against the temple, you want to go against the entire Beiqiu Continent." ”
Hearing this, Qin Muyao sneered: "When will one temple be able to represent the entire Beiqiu Continent?"
The empress raised her head suddenly, her eyes narrowing slightly: "Then you...... Do you want to represent the entire Beiqiu Continent?"
I don't know why, she obviously didn't feel ambition in this little boy, but she could guess what she meant.
Qin Muyao didn't deny it: "I just want to protect my own things." Whoever touches it will die!"
At that moment, Qin Muyao's body suddenly exuded an aura that was difficult to describe in words, and even the empress couldn't help but feel a feeling of wanting to surrender.
After a long time, the empress restrained her gaze, and also restrained her sudden illusion just now.
"I promise you. ”
......
Su Xiang was full of remorse for her practice of "luring the wolf into the house", especially after her mother knew what she had done, she also wrote a letter to scold her, and she became more and more resentful of Qin Muyao.
She had thought that the weak man would end up in the palace, or even become one of the queen's palaces.
If that's the case, I'm afraid she won't have a chance to take revenge.
But God seems to be all for her, and the weak man still lives in the inn!
Since this is the case, Su Xiang naturally will not let go of such a good opportunity.
But recently the Templar race had begun, and no matter how much she had thoughts, she could only suppress them all.
The game in the city is the final game, and almost all of the people who come here have gone through layers of screening.
It's not that there are people like Qin Muyao who come back after being brushed down, but there are many more.
It's just that, after all, it's someone who has already had a chance, so those who participate again will not only be deducted ten points, but the requirements for strength are also higher than those who have gone through many difficulties to participate in the competition.
Qin Muyao happened to be recorded, and with her was Zheng An, who had already returned from running errands.
In addition to the people who were screened from all over the world, there will be a three-day competition for those who sign up this time, and only ten people will be left in the end.
After three days of competition, Qin Muyao and Zheng An both became one of these ten people.
In the final game, a draw is held to face off in pairs, and the winner enters the next round, which is played twice a day.
Everyone has one day to prepare before the official start of the competition.
And Qin Muyao took advantage of this time to go to a post station five hundred miles outside the city.
There is news from Zhushen Tower, it is the nearest stronghold near the ghost hall, but it has been so long, I don't know what happened to Meng Tai and them.
Qin Muyao hurried over, but didn't find anything. In order not to startle the snake, she did not take action against the people in the stronghold, but she still found out some news.
The Nine Heavens Protector of the Ghost Hall brought back two unconscious men a few days ago, saying that it was related to the hall master and asked them to serve them well, and then left for a while.
Almost two days later, Jiuxiao came back and left with the two who were still in a coma, just yesterday.
Qin Muyao breathed a sigh of relief, but she was also a little worried.
At present, Meng Tai and Tuanzi are fine, but why does Jiuxiao say that they have a relationship with the hall master of the Ghost Palace?
Because she couldn't get out, Qin Muyao asked the people from Zhushenlou to continue to investigate the matter. While doing all this, she did not avoid Zheng An.
Zheng An is not a fool, even if he didn't know what was going on at first, he could understand it later.
So, Zheng An gritted his teeth and directly gave up the competition in the temple, and took the initiative to ask Ying to take charge of this matter.
It's definitely a gamble, and it looks like a gamble with no chance of winning.
Qin Muyao didn't refuse, and after handing over the token of Zhushenlou to him, he didn't care about it anymore.
It's just that secretly, she still let Xiaohuo stare at some.
......
The game started quickly, and because of Zheng An's abstention, one person had a bye in the game that was just right.
Speaking of which, the name Zheng An has become popular among these people, after all, there has never been a person who suddenly chooses to abstain when entering the final round of the temple competition.
Qin Muyao didn't perform very well in the game, but she still walked smoothly all the way.
During this time, she always felt that there were two eyes that always fell on her.
One is the Empress. She hadn't done anything since the last time they had agreed, and the Empress had been waiting for her to act.
The other is naturally Su Xiang. She was the one who was more anxious than the empress.
Since she was a child, anyone who has offended her has never been able to live to see the sun the next day, but this stinky boy not only lives well, but also always dangles in front of her.
Maybe God has eyes, in this next round of the game, she drew a showdown with Qin Muyao.
Looking at the label on his hand, Su Xiang's face showed an extremely cruel smile: "The people who go to the temple will only have one word, this stinky boy, Major General Ben will deal with it himself!"
......
Qin Muyao was bored looking at the sign in her hand in the inn, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this luck is really ......
At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Who?" Qin Muyao said softly.
Since the last time she was taken away by Su Xiang with great fanfare and came back unharmed, almost everyone in this inn hid when they saw her, and no one would take the initiative to knock on her door.
"Gong ...... Childe, yes...... The people who are in the temple are...... I'm looking for you. Xiao Er's voice stammered, and it was not difficult to hear the nervousness in his tone.
Why did the people of the temple suddenly come looking for her?
Qin Muyao opened the door, and the little two subconsciously stepped back, not daring to look up at her at all.
Xiao Er hurriedly nodded and left in a hurry, leaving the person from the temple directly.
Qin Muyao looked at his fleeing back, and a cold light crossed his eyes.
It's not that she doesn't know the movements behind Su Xiang, but she just hasn't paid attention to it.
She has never been afraid of gossip, because this thing seems scary, but it is also the easiest to change.
Qin Muyao retracted her gaze and looked at the person in front of her who was shrouded in a white robe, and her face still didn't change at all: "Something?"
The people of the temple were visibly stunned. He's been so far that no one has ever seen him with such an attitude, not even letting him in and sitting.
Seeing that he had been stunned and looked at himself without speaking, Qin Muyao frowned slightly: "If it's okay, please go back." ”
As she spoke, she didn't hesitate to close the door.
"Smack!"
The people of the temple instantly blocked the door, raised their heads and looked at Qin Muyao coldly: "This holy envoy has something important to tell you. ”
If you call yourself an envoy, you must have the important task of the temple, and you will never refuse it at such times.
However, Qin Muyao still didn't mean to let him in, and still looked at him so coldly: "Say it." ”
The people in the temple were stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Shouldn't you invite this holy envoy in and talk about it?"
Qin Muyao's face did not change: "It's inconvenient." ”
The people of the temple choked, as if they didn't know what to say for a moment.
After a long time, his face sank slightly: "This holy envoy has something important, and it is inconvenient to talk about it here." ”
Qin Muyao looked at the empty corridor, and still didn't mean to get out of the way: "There is no one here." ”
Temple Man: "......"
Seeing the other party's posture of "If you don't say anything else, I'll close the door immediately", the people in the temple hurriedly spoke: "In the afternoon game, are you with Major General Su?"
Qin Muyao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't deny it, waiting for his next words.
Seeing this, the temple suddenly raised his head arrogantly: "In the afternoon game, it must be Major General Su Xiang to win." ”
Qin Muyao's pupils shrank, and she instantly understood everything.
It's no wonder that the order of the next round is drawn directly after each competition, which is to leave time to do things.
Seeing her obvious reluctance, the people of the temple spoke as if giving alms, "After that, we will arrange for you to go to other places, and you will still be a disciple of my temple." If you behave well, you don't have the opportunity to go to headquarters. ”
Qin Muyao lowered her eyes and looked at him, and an inexplicable streamer flashed in her eyes: "Really?"
"Of course!" the people of the temple thought that she did not believe it, and said again: "Will the promise of the temple be false?
Qin Muyao's face did not change: "I know." ”
