The one who spoke was a young man about twenty years old, tall and strong in this life, with two slanted eyebrows straight into his sideburns, quite heroic.

I saw that after he finished speaking, he overturned the vendor's shop again, and said: "The people in the market, selling these rotten goods in the name of my Zhou family, I think you are impatient." ”

When the hawker heard that it was the head of the Zhou family, he hurriedly packed up his stall and fled. In his eyes, the Zhou family is an upper-class figure and cannot afford to offend.

As for Li Xunlian, he was stunned. In fact, what he said was the truth, and he did not mean to be disrespectful to the Zhou family. But if you think about it carefully, there is indeed a little suspicion of talking about people behind your back, so I apologized.

"This brother, I just ...... it"

"Get out of the way, my son doesn't have time to listen to your fart. Also, what kind of thing are you, and you are worthy of being called my son's brother?"

That son's name is Zhou Lu, and he is a descendant of the Zhou family. Although the Zhou family has begun to decline in the past two years, it has been in the position of the national player of Qingxiao Smelting for ten years, and it is not an official candidate, but it is also very status.

The first to see the market vendor pretending to be the name of the Zhou family, and then heard that Li Xunlian had contempt for the Zhou family in his words, which was not tolerated by the arrogant disciple of the smelting country.

Of course, in fact, it wasn't a big deal, but Zhou Lu relied on his identity and blindly picked things up.

At this time, the surroundings had already attracted a lot of onlookers, although they didn't dare to comment loudly, but they all secretly sighed in their hearts that the handsome little brother was Li Xunlian, who was going to be unlucky.

Li Xunlian was stunned, and his smiling face sank. Li Yanran watched from the sidelines, knowing that her younger brother was afraid that she would have another dispute with someone, so she gently tugged on Li Xun's sleeve.

Glancing at Li Yanran, Li Xunlian took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said to Zhou Lu: "It's not right for me to gossip about the Zhou family, and I still look at Haihan." ”

Li Xunlian wanted to be mad, but because of the old lady's face, he thought about forbearance, but there was still some coldness in his words.

When Zhou Lu heard the words, he rushed up, and directly pushed Li Xunlian with his hands, and said: "Throwing your face with this son, what's the matter, are you still not convinced?"

Apologize and don't accept it, give a shameless face, push this and you should be bitten by a mad dog, if you dare not know how to advance or retreat, then don't blame the master for being unkind.

Thinking like this, Li Xunlian didn't resist, he was pushed a step back, tilted his head and stared at Zhou Lu and sneered.

"Laugh at your mother! It seems that you are really unconvinced!" Zhou Lu rolled up his sleeves as he spoke, and said: "Do you know who this son is?

"Noise. Li Xunlian spit out two words in a low voice, and when Li Yanran heard it, she chuckled in her heart, and secretly said that this matter today could not end well.

However, she is approaching the middle stage of the Kaixuan Realm, and her younger brother has just broken through to the early stage of the Kaixuan Realm, as long as Zhou Lu's strength is not too strong, she should not suffer a big loss. After all, Zhou Lu looks like he is in his early twenties, so he shouldn't be more than the middle stage of the Xuan Realm.

However, as Li Yanran expected, Zhou Lu shouted violently to show his cultivation, and his Xuan Qi was violent, and it was indeed in the middle stage of Xuan Xuan.

"Zhou Gongzi, this matter is not our fault, but if you insist on doing it, the little woman will not mind accompanying you to live two tricks. Li Yanran took a step forward and protected Li Xunlian behind her.

"Hey, little ladies don't know how thick the sky is, if you and I are over-the-top, it's right to make a gesture on the bed. Zhou Lu sneered, pointed at Li Xunlian and said: "The soft egg who shrunk behind the woman, kneel down and kowtow a few times and spare you." ”

Li Xunlian rubbed his eyebrows impatiently when he heard this, and then suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Zhou Lu, "Who gave you the courage to be so perverse, Zhou family?"

Zhou Lu was glared at by this look, and somehow panicked in his heart. But he thought about it, he knew all the sons and brothers with backgrounds in the imperial city, and there was no such kid in front of him, not to mention, isn't he just a scholar and a talented person when he looks at his outfit.

"Personal grievances don't involve the family, but do you know who this son's sworn brother is?" I wanted to make a big fuss, but when the words came to my mouth, I couldn't help but coax. Zhou Lu himself was also stunned, but after saying everything, he simply raised the name of his brother and directly scared this stinky poor sour to death.

If you want to ask him who this brother is, Li Xunlian is really no stranger, it is, the only son of King Cheng - Zhu Cheng!

Of course, the brother is just a chewing head, in fact, Zhou Lu is just a heel dog by Zhu Cheng's side.

I thought that saying this name would scare Li Xun into urinating, but who knew that the result was not like this, but Li Xun didn't even hold it up, and the original cold face couldn't smile directly......

"I thought it was who, go and go, call him quickly, I really miss him after not seeing him for a few days. Li Xunlian's stomach ached, and he forced out a sentence.

Zhou Lu faintly felt that something was not right, reacted for a moment, and left the next sentence You wait for me, I really went.

He knew where Zhu Cheng was at the moment, his footsteps were fast, and he found Zhu Cheng in a short time.

Speaking of which, Zhou Lu is still a little clever, and he feels that this person may have some background, so after finding Zhu Cheng, he added oil and vinegar to chatter, and naturally "replaced" Li Xunlian scolded Zhu Cheng.

Zhu Cheng was drinking in a flower building at this time, and after hearing this, he immediately took the case and said angrily: "Dare to insult Xiao Wang behind your back! Is it King Liang's dog cub or King Xi's third grandson, go, take me to see that thing that doesn't know whether to live or die!"

Hearing Zhu Cheng's words, Zhou Lu felt that there was something dramatic in the matter, and echoed on the side: "It's not the son of King Liang and King Xi, it's a face I haven't seen before, it seems to be called Li ...... Li Xunlian came. ”

Li Xunlian?

Hearing these two words, Zhu Cheng's imposing footsteps immediately stopped, and then tried to suppress his frightened look, and said with a forced smile: "I haven't heard of it, I'm afraid that Xiao Wang's shot will be a little down." In this way, I will find a teahouse next to me and watch, and you can just clean him up. ”

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Lu nodded yes.

Anyway, that kid is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and he will definitely not be able to beat himself, if he really has a background, Zhu Cheng can come forward to suppress him at any time. It's a safe thing!

After the discussion was completed, Zhou Lu led Zhu Cheng to the place where he had quarreled before, but Zhu Cheng didn't say that the tea in the teahouse next to him was authentic when he was a hundred zhang away, and he didn't go forward with anything.

Zhou Lu didn't think much about it, anyway, he could see the scene in the field here, and besides, he asked Zhu Cheng to come mainly to add some confidence to himself, so he didn't have to show up, just grasp the overall situation on the side.

After tidying up his clothes, Zhou Lu walked through the crowd with high spirits, heh, I didn't expect that kid to really wait in place.

"Hey, don't you cherish the opportunity to give your kid a chance to slip away?" At this moment, Zhou Lu completely changed his appearance, and he was even more bullish than at that time.

Li Xunlian ignored him, looked left and right, and was disappointed when he found that Zhu Cheng was not there.

"Look at your mother!" This contemptuous behavior made Zhou Lu furious, and after scolding, he directly threw a punch.

The Xuan Qi is like a dragon, the wind is overflowing, and Zhou Lu's punch actually hit a solid fist shadow, tearing open the space and hunting!

was scolded twice by this mother, Li Xunlian was probably angry even if he had a good temper, not to mention that he was still a little irritable.

"I'll teach you what it means to be a disaster for your father and mother today!"

When the words fell, Li Xunlian suddenly took a step, and the Xuan Qi of heaven and earth converged, forming a palm shadow in his palm. The muffled sound started, the strong wind dispersed, the fist shadow disappeared at the same time, and the two decisively bullied forward and fought directly together.

At the beginning of the battle, the onlookers finally dared to comment slightly, although they didn't understand Xuan Xiu, but they were natives of the imperial city, and they knew their identity and background well.

"This young man is blind, even if he wins Zhou Lu, I'm afraid it won't end well. ”

"But isn't it, what kind of existence is the Zhou family, the smelting national hand!"

"Not to mention the Zhou family, I won't tell you anything, I just saw Zhou Lu staying with King Cheng's scum son. ”

"Be quiet, be quiet, this little brother doesn't want to die, and you don't want to die either!"

However, while they were secretly talking in a whisper, there were a few people nearby who were either watching coldly, or commenting with interest, or directly commenting loudly, which was in strong contrast with these ordinary people......

His gaze moved to the tavern hall on the left, where a young Taoist priest dressed in a pale blue robe sat inside. This person's face was like a crown of jade, gently playing with the jasper wine glass in his hand, and his eyes were firmly locked on the long sword behind Li Xunlian's back, and he said to himself: "Interesting, with my eyesight, I can't see what this sword is forged of." If this son is built by himself, maybe he will be my number one strong opponent in this year's smelting competition. ”

As soon as this person's voice fell, a bearded man in the crowd opposite shouted: "Boy, draw your sword! The sword on your back is playing with your back?" Although Lao Tzu can't see the strange thing, but as soon as this sword comes out, it is estimated that the dog cub on Zhou Lu will be in a different place with his head just by relying on the sword. ”

Li Xunlian was fighting with Zhou Lu to a critical juncture, how could he be in the mood to pay attention to him. Moreover, Li Xunlian thought that Zhou Lu did not use weapons, and it was not easy for him to take advantage of others, although he could not draw his sword......

The big man seemed to be very anxious for Li Xunlian, and roared again: "Don't draw the sword yet, a few meanings, I'm afraid that the baby will see the light and let people see the doorway of your smelter?" Moreover, this time, Lao Tzu must be the first, and it is useless for you to keep your hands behind, so quickly kill the dog cub in Zhou Lu to eliminate harm for the people. ”

Still no one paid attention to him......

This guy seemed to be a chatter, and he actually muttered to himself: "Grinding, whether you can kill or not, your brother Tie is anxious when he looks at it." That's it, don't look at it, if you don't kill him today, Lao Tzu will also make him ruined. ”

I don't know what kind of grudge he has with Zhou Lu, and he chattered for a long time, and in the end, no one paid attention to him, so he snorted coldly, turned around and left. But before the footsteps moved, he was blocked in front of him by a child who didn't know what to see, and he touched people's heads with his hands and feet, and then walked away.

Strange to say, the child was dressed luxuriously and knew that his identity was extraordinary at a glance, but he didn't care when he was touched by a big hand full of dirt, and at this moment he was also staring at the long sword behind Li Xunlian's back, with a strange look in his eyes.

After a while, the child changed his mind and said secretly: When will my Gongsun Yu be able to smelt such a divine weapon? Hehe, maybe it is this smelting competition.

After all, it's also leaving.

In fact, they are not the only ones, at this moment, on the eaves of a pavilion, there is a handsome and bevelous figure standing.

This person is wearing a moon-white robe, blessed with Buddhist beads around his neck, and in his hand, an eight-foot golden pestle is shining brightly, as if he has encountered a great enemy in his life......

"Smelter Dabi, Jingyuan is looking forward to competing with you. After clasping his hands in the direction of Li Xunlian, the monk's figure swayed,

Bang bang!

Li Xunlian and Zhou Lu suddenly slapped each other with eighteen palms, and because they had been fighting for too long, they had to temporarily separate and find another opportunity.

As soon as Fu stopped, Li Yanran immediately ran forward and whispered, "Xiao Xun, I just found out that there seem to be a few people who are always staring at you." ”

"It doesn't matter. Li Xunlian didn't pay attention to it at all, in fact, Li Xunlian also felt those abnormal sights, but first, he was heroic by nature, and secondly, he was fighting vigorously, and he didn't have the heart to think about other things if he didn't solve Zhou Lu.

But taking a break now, he can't help but be a little affected by this kind of thing-

"There is no doubt that this sword is hidden in the supernatural world, but I didn't expect it to be seen, if they are all players participating in the smelting competition, then this excitement will never disappoint me!"

Compared with Li Xunlian's ease of thinking about other things, Zhou Lu is not so calm here.

He is in the middle stage of the Xuan Realm, and it stands to reason that the degree of absorbing the Xuan Qi of Heaven and Earth is far beyond Li Xunlian, but in the process of fighting, he was shocked to find that although the other party's Xuan Qi is weak, for some reason, the sense of power in the move is not inferior to himself at all!

And vaguely, this kid seems to have some magical routine, sometimes fierce, sometimes fast, sometimes calm, sometimes orderly, dozens of moves down, Zhou Lu is powerless.

"Hey, have you rested enough, do you want to find a maid to knead and knead for you?" Li Xunlian raised his head at Zhou Lu and said provocatively.

In fact, Zhou Lu has feelings, Li Xun is not even exceptional, but he has a strange body veins since he was a child, as if he has a strength far beyond ordinary people. The recovery ability is even more powerful. At this moment, it was only a dozen breaths, and he had fully recovered his strength, but looking at Zhou Lu, it would take at least half an hour to see that the situation was at least......

And this week, while sweeping towards the teahouse a hundred zhang away, he scolded Li Xunlian arrogantly, and he didn't know if he was deliberately delaying time or how, anyway, it was not normal.

The overwhelming advantage in the body veins has been presented, and no matter how you play around, you will definitely lose. Besides, this is a brawl, not a competition, Li Xunlian has no patience to wait.

Thinking of this, Li Xunlian still reminded him first, and then suddenly punched out, although Zhou Lu was prepared, but he was exhausted, so he could only watch as he was punched in his chest, and a mouthful of blood mist spurted out at the same time, and flew out upside down.

This scene caused the onlookers to exclaim, secretly saying that this kid really won, but you can stop it quickly, otherwise you will have to put your life into it if you don't get it well tonight.

Who knew that Li Xunlian not only confiscated his hand, but followed closely, riding on Zhou Lu was a violent beating, or a routine of chasing and beating, or greeting him in the face!

For this kind of gentleman, he Li Xun will slap people in the face!

At this time, many well-wishers in the onlookers whispered from the side, after all, Zhou Lu felt happy when he was beaten, so they couldn't bear to see this little brother die on the street later, or die at the hands of the Zhou family, or at the hands of Zhu Cheng.

Li Xunlian was tired of fighting and rested for a while, grinned at the person who kindly reminded him, and said, "It's okay, Zhu Cheng is here, and I'll fight together." ”

When everyone heard this, they were half frightened to death, and said that this kid was either a madman or a fool, so they quickly stayed away from him.

Li Xunlian didn't care, he just buried his head and beat hard, until Zhou Lu wailed and begged for mercy, and then he stopped again.

"Remember, yes, you seem to have said just now that you want to beat me to my knees and beg for mercy, otherwise you will have my surname, right?" Li Xunlian gestured when he spoke, and he didn't know whether to help him beat or stop his old sister to buy herself a bowl of tea.

This is thirsty, and I have to continue to fight after drinking!

Zhou Luden was frightened and shouted: "Don't fight, I was wrong, I obeyed! I have your surname, I can't get your surname!"

"Cheng!" Li Xunlian jumped down from Zhou Lu, "Then tell me, what is your name." ”

Zhou Lu took a deep breath, but fortunately, the surrounding crowd dispersed a lot because of Li Xunlian's previous words, gritted his teeth, and said, "Li ...... Road!"

"Be louder, I can't hear you. ”

"......" turned his heart sideways, Zhou Lu simply took one step in place, and shouted: "My name is Li Lu!"

The sonic boom is long and spreads all over the night market.

A hundred zhang away, by the window on the third floor of a luxury teahouse, Zhu Cheng grinned, didn't look at the field again, got up and left quietly.

The lesson of Zhou Lu made Li Xunlian feel very refreshed. That night, he slept very sweetly, and the next morning, Li Xunlian got up early for the first time and pulled Li Yanran to sign up for the review.

Speaking of registration review, it is a new project this year, as for the reason......

In the past dynasties of the Qingxiao Kingdom, a smelting competition will be held every three years. Every time it was unprecedentedly grand, and the number of participants was overwhelming. Among them, there is no need to mention the flow of talents, but there are many lucky people, who obviously can't even reach the early stage of the smelting master, but they have to come to mix luck.

For such people, everyone summed up one sentence - that is not a smelter, that is iron.

This kind of time-wasting and meaningless thing, the royal family of Qingxiao Kingdom, as the organizer of the Smelting Weapon Competition, finally formulated a strict strategy this time.

Registration Tournament.

Players who want to participate in the Smelting Weapon Contest must rush to the southern area of the Imperial City two days before the start of the competition, and then use the intermediate materials prepared on the spot to create a weapon that is at least "second order", so as to pass the registration.

However, such as the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, the Gongsun family, and the Zhou family, such as the extremely high reputation of the smelting instrument, there is definitely no need to be so troublesome if they want to participate, just notify the imperial court to host it.

Of course, if Li Xunlian is raised to the top of his identity, there is no doubt that he will be free from the cumbersome process, and he will even be deliberately arranged to a group that is conducive to promotion. But he didn't want to do that, he felt so shameless, so boring!

It's despised!

All the way to the southern area of the imperial city, looking from afar, the center of the southern area has been erected ten zhang high platform. The sparks on the stage are steaming, and the slightest white gas is permeating, and it is conceivable that the registration review is in full swing.

Under the stands, the crowd surged like a wave, and the various costumes with different accents were all spectators who came from all over the world to watch the grand game. In addition to the local people of Qingxiao Country, there is naturally no shortage of visitors from other countries in the Kyushu Continent, and it is extremely lively.

Li Xunlian was originally a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, and he was a very lively character, plus he had been holding back in the deep mountains and old forests for a long time, and when he saw such a scene, his heart was immediately excited, and even the previous sadness was diluted a lot.

and Li Yanran walked quickly through the crowd, and the two came to the high platform, asked the person who presided over a bamboo slip for registration, and then looked for a spare smelting furnace.

However, the line was endless, and the three-hundred-foot-long platform was packed, and the two of them lined up for nearly two hours, and they didn't even have their turn.

"That's overcrowding. He rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, and looked around while chatting with his sister.

At first, it was just a vast sea of people and nothing to look at, but after a while, the appearance of a team of people attracted his gaze firmly.

The outfit of that team of men and horses seemed familiar, silver armor and silver helmets, tall people and big horses, like the guards of the palace. His eyes swept to the leading figure in front of him, and when he saw him, Li Xun was happy.

The person who came was none other than Zhu Cheng, the only son of King Cheng who had just been beaten up by him not long ago and fled without a fight last night!

I saw that the injury on Zhu Cheng's face had healed, and his head was high at the moment, and he didn't care about the large number of people on the road, so he just rode his horse and galloped, so he looked rampant and domineering.

However, he didn't see Li Xunlian, and it was estimated that if he did, he would have wilted at that time.

"Hey, this inferior thing's injuries are getting better quickly, and it is estimated that the level of the Cheng Wangfu Medicine Refining Master is not low. Li Xunlian locked on to Zhu Cheng with a smile, only looking forward to meeting later, and by the way, tell him about last night's excitement.

"Get out of the way for me! It doesn't matter if you block Xiao Wang's way, can you take care of Princess Xi's way!" Zhu Cheng shouted loudly, and at the same time waved the horsewhip in his hand and whipped it wantonly, in his eyes, the crowd around him was no different from the livestock under the seat.

Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, in addition to the prince and princess in this Qingxiao Imperial City, Zhu Cheng is indeed a bad star that no one can afford to offend, so no matter how domineering he is, everyone can only retreat, not daring to be angry or speak......

As Zhu Cheng opened a passage, another team of people appeared on the empty street behind.

There are 100 people in the queue, eight horses in parallel, stepping on silver stirrups and holding golden whips. Sixteen people then carried an extremely luxurious chariot with a thin sand on it, and it was faintly visible that there was a man in extremely complicated clothes and a beautiful posture sitting in it.

This appearance, this style, attracted all the attention at the time.

However, Li Xunlian tilted his head and pouted, muttering: "Princess Xi, this little girl is so vain, going out to engage in such a big battle, the royal family is extravagant, and the people are suffering." ”

When the people around heard this, their eyes showed disdain, and they all secretly moved their steps to keep a long distance from Li Xunlian as much as possible. And his heart is all slandered, a stinky scholar who doesn't know the height of the sky, can't eat grapes and says that grapes are sour, and his status is low but he looks down on the royal family. Phew, something!

Li Xunlian didn't care about that, so he was happy and comfortable, and it didn't take long for him to be at the front of the line. At this time, Zhu Cheng was already like a dog helping Princess Xi to the high platform, and he said: "Where is the host, come and kneel!"

In the noise, a septuagenarian came in a hurry, fell to his knees with a pop, and naturally his mouth was indispensable for words such as auspiciousness and peace.

Li Xunlian didn't have the heart to look at these, but he had a good eyesight, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Zhu Cheng taking out a letter from his arms and handing it to the host, and then saw that the host's face was embarrassed, Princess Xi and Zhu Cheng snorted coldly at the same time, and the embarrassment on the host's face turned into panic.

Then, each of them took a jade slip and walked away.

There was no difficulty for Li Xunlian and Li Yanran to sign up for the review, but when they took over the jade slip representing the identity of the contestants, they understood why Zhu Cheng and Princess Xi were here.

Glancing at the players who were still struggling in line, Li Xunlian thought thoughtfully, and sneered after a while, "Hey, it's shameless to play this kind of trick with your identity, it's best not to let the master meet you two in the game, otherwise you will be disgraced and regret participating in the smelting competition!"
