After receiving the letter to Shangguan Jinhong from Bai Xiaosheng, Richard said goodbye to Bai Xiaosheng and prepared to leave. Bai Xiaosheng and Qu Yi sent him outside Cangwu City, standing in front of the city gate and watching him go.

After Richard's figure disappeared into the dense forest, Bai Xiaosheng said slowly: "Yi'er, do you know what Da Longshou was most entangled in when compiling the list of celebrities in the rivers and lakes?" ”

Qu Yi replied: "Master, you said that the ranking of masters on the list of celebrities in the rivers and lakes is based on their own strength, but on their fame in the rivers and lakes. Who can be on the list, who can't, and how many people can be on the list, these are all things that need to be carefully considered. ”

Bai Xiaosheng said slowly: "It is certainly difficult for the candidates on the list and their respective rankings, but what is more difficult than this is everyone's title. Some people already have their own cheer numbers on the rivers and lakes, such as the rose swordsman Yan Nanfei, and some people don't have yet, such as the little county lord of Western Xia, the little junior sister Ai Mengmeng of the Carefree faction, and some of them have too many titles and don't know how to choose. ”

"Take Ximen Gua as an example, the leader of the young people in the rivers and lakes, the first disciple of the Carefree Sect, the next guardian of Wushuang City, the next chief scoop of Tsing Yi Lou, the demon in the Mongolian population, and the hero in the Great Song Dynasty, these are his titles. The rest are also the commander of my Blue Dragon Society, the emperor, and the youngest supreme master, etc. If he had been born decades earlier, perhaps the world would have been much more exciting, and Shen Lang would not have gone into hiding. ”

Qu Yi's heart was shocked, she knew Shen Lang's status in her master's heart, if Gongzi Yu hadn't been able to mobilize the medicine people in Cangwu City so freely because of Shen Lang's important identity, her master would never have asked.

Bai Xiaosheng was stunned, and the old man's right hand was on top of the girl's head, and he said softly: "So, it's not a strange thing for you to lose to him." ”

Qu Yi didn't speak, she looked at the dense forest in front of her in a daze, after Richard's sword, less than half of the huge dense forest remained, and a thick layer of wood chips accumulated on the empty ground, and the breeze blew, raising a yellow cloud of smoke and dust.

The girl's unequivocal voice sounded in the wind.

"Master, one day, I will surpass him."

Bai Xiaosheng smiled, took out a whistle from his bosom and blew it, the ground under his feet suddenly began to shake, and hundreds of medicine people in Cangwu City behind him walked out of the city with trees on their shoulders and neatly walked.

Qu Yijiao snorted and walked towards the dense forest with the medicine man, ready to start restoring the dense forest to its original state. Her steps were brisk, and with one step of her figure, she seemed to teleport several feet away.

………………………

On the other side, Richard took Bai Xiaosheng's letter and teleported back to Yangzhou City through the field station, and went out of Yangzhou City to call Shangguan Jinhong's residence, only to see Shangguan Jinhong rarely appear outside the wooden house, instructing his disciple Shangguan Ming.

Before Richard could get closer, Shangguan Jinhong spotted him, turned his head and nodded at him, and then said to Shangguan Ming: "You go to practice elsewhere." ”

Shangguan Jinhong put away the dragon and phoenix rings and responded respectfully, hugged his fist at Richard and turned to leave. Richard stopped him with a smile, "Don't be in a hurry to leave, I'm here to bring a letter this time, and it happens to be related to you." ”

Shangguan Ming's footsteps paused, and he was puzzled in his heart, and subconsciously looked at the master Shangguan Jinhong beside him.

Shangguan Jinhong said lightly: "Since the Lord Ling said so, you should stay first." ”

Richard came to Shangguan Jinhong, took out Bai Xiaosheng's letter from his arms and handed it to him, and said with a smile: "Bai Xiaosheng wants his disciple to compete with Shangguan Ming, and he also said that he wants to gamble with you, this is the letter he wants me to bring to you." ”

After taking the letter, Shangguan Jinhong did not rush to open it, but stared at the envelope without a word for a long time, and the doubts that had been bothered in his heart for a long time disappeared at this moment - if Bai Xiaosheng was on Gongziyu's side, this letter would not appear in front of his eyes.

After opening the letter and reading the contents of the letter, Shangguan Jinhong's face suddenly became gloomy, and he sneered and said: "This old man is really confident in that girl's film. ”

Richard was a little surprised when he heard this: "Have you seen his apprentice?" ”

Shangguan Jinhong nodded and said, "When there was a battle on the Hanjiang River, I was next to Bai Xiaosheng when he picked her up. That girl has a very high bone and smart eyes, she is a good seedling, but it's a pity that she has a good temper, and no one talks to her except Bai Xiaosheng. Yang Yanyu and I both had the heart to accept apprentices at that time, but after trying a few times, we gave up. ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Ming's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but be a little lucky, if Shangguan Jinhong had successfully accepted that girl as an apprentice at that time, wouldn't there be nothing to do with him now?

Richard asked again, "So what does Bai Xiaosheng want to bet with you?" ”

Shangguan Jinhong said: "He wants to bet with me on the winner or loss of this competition, and the losing side must agree to the winning side on a condition." His condition is that he wants to borrow my son and mother dragon and phoenix ring to have a look. ”

Richard nodded, and put forward his own conditions before the competition began, no wonder Shangguan Jinhong just said that Bai Xiaosheng was extremely confident in his disciples.

Shangguan Jinhong turned his head to look at Shangguan Ming and asked in a low voice, "Ming'er, what do you think?" ”

Shangguan Ming bent down and hugged his fists and said, "The disciple is all up to the master. ”

Shangguan Jinhong sneered: "This old man boasts that he knows astronomy and geography, and he is like a god. I'll see if he could accurately predict the outcome this time. I took this bet! ”

Richard kindly reminded: "It is better for the four dragon heads to consider carefully, the disciples of the three dragon heads are very talented, although they are not very old, but they already have the strength of first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, whether it is light swordsmanship, they are also good." ”

"First-class?"

Shangguan Jinhong was taken aback, and couldn't help but regret a little in her heart, how old is that girl! At most thirteen or fourteen years old this year, I knew how talented she was, and I wanted to take her under the door if I had more tongues.

But fortunately, his disciple Shangguan Ming is not bad, and now he has first-class strength. It is only one step away from the Tibetan environment, if you can break through to the Tibetan environment before the competition, this competition is not without a chance of winning, and it can even be said that the chance of winning is very large!

No, wait, how did Ximen Gua know that Bai Xiaosheng's old puppet disciple had good swordsmanship?

Shangguan Jinhong's heart suddenly moved, and he asked Richard curiously, "How did Lord Ling know about that girl's strength?" ”

Richard laughed and said, "I had a fight with her. ”

Shangguan Jinhong suddenly sneered, and immediately sneered in his heart, there are only medicine people in Cangwu City, and the way of medicine people is straight and hard, which is very different from the fighting style of the real masters on the rivers and lakes, Bai Xiaosheng obviously wants his apprentice to adapt in advance.

"Ming'er."

Shangguan Ming immediately understood, bent down and clenched his fists towards Richard and said, "Disciple begs the Lord to give advice." ”
