Chapter 117: Ring Competition

Gu Qingyan pulled the corner of Xu Shaolin's clothes: "Big brother." Motioning for him to look in Xue Ti's direction.

Xu Shaolin glanced there, and then pulled his gaze back to the three-story small building behind the entire ring, he paid more attention to the atmosphere on the upper floor and the crowds hidden in the building than Xue Ti.

Gu Qingyan and Bai Limo also noticed that what they could recognize in the small building was the uniformly dressed disciples of Qingquan Villa, standing in twos and threes, with swords at their waists.

At this time, they probably didn't care about the poetry competition, except for Gu Qingyan and their brothers and sisters who were observing the surrounding environment, Han Yan and Lin Rui were also analyzing the scene.

More than half of these onlookers are people with a non-simple purpose, and in the remaining half of the city, there are some disguises from the government and government officials, and these people can be removed, and there are some left, not too little, but not much.

The few of them seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, and after looking at each other, Han Yan told Su Tanxue: "Don't leave us." ”

Su Tanxue nodded, and Gu Qingyan instructed Su Xin: "Don't get separated, there are Beiming and Hidden Piles in the dark." ”

"Yes, don't worry, master." Compared with Su Tanxue and Guo'er, although Su Xin doesn't know martial arts, he also has his own secret to self-preservation.

"Will something happen in a moment?" Su Tanxue was a little curious and a little impatient in her heart.

Gu Qingyan shook his head and smiled: "It's hard to say." ”

Now everyone is holding still, as if they are just waiting for someone's patience to be completely drained, and then all it takes is an arbitrary ordinary excuse to be the beginning of another showdown.

Su Tanxue didn't know Xue Ti, but she could clearly see him sitting in an official robe, so she asked Gu Qingyan in a low voice: "There is a master from the official mansion here, there shouldn't be anything, right?" ”

Gu Qingyan chuckled, who knows, Xue Ti's appearance here actually can't completely suppress the wind and clouds in the rivers and lakes, his role is just to appease the restless people at the right opportunity.

After all, they had already handed over the so-called maintenance of order in the city to Xu Shaolin, and Xu Shaolin transferred this matter to Qingquan Villa, so what the disciples of Qingquan Villa had to do after a while was to control the balance of the ring competition, and Gu Qingyan thought about it, if no one rushed at her today, then she would be a spectator with peace of mind.

But she thinks simply, and others don't think so.

Xue Ti sat on a high place, and naturally after a while, he could see Gu Qingyan and a few of them, and there were also subordinates next to him who reported that they had arrived, Xue Ti said "um", and his face did not change.

For the next two quarters of an hour, the audience was as peaceful as ever, but the atmosphere was surprisingly tense, as if the air was condensing little by little, and it was soon suffocating.

Xue Ti couldn't hold it back, and wanted to turn his head and ask Qian Zhou behind him: "I always feel faintly uneasy." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, wouldn't it be better if nothing happened?" Money for a week of comfort.

"It's good if it doesn't happen, but don't turn it into a slaughter." Xue Ti expressed the worry in his heart.

Qian Zhou's brows tightened, to say that he also had such worries, but now he couldn't panic, and said: "No, didn't the valley lord of Peach Blossom Stream promise the prince, and I see that Qingquan Villa has also come forward, and they have some prestige in the rivers and lakes." ”

"I hope so." Xue Ti sighed.

To say that it is difficult for them to do it, it is not that the officials cannot be the masters, but these people do not allow them to be the masters, and today, there is no explicit edict to restrain this kind of "you love me and me" to set up a life and death behavior.

In the rivers and lakes, there are elegant people and reckless people, and the level of patience is also different, there will always be one person who breaks out first and provokes disputes, which was accurately guessed by Gu Qingyan.

The reason for the start of the fight was that a man lost the poem and was about to end the game, when he heard someone shouting: "I didn't expect that Yunshui Sword, which is famous for its elegant poetry on the dignified swordsman list, would actually lose to ordinary people." ”

"Oh? I don't know what this brother thinks, why not compete with this gentleman? ”

Yunshui Sword, Yun Jiazi, Yun Jichen, this person is worthy of the word elegant, Gu Qingyan looked at it, his face was handsome, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and there was no anger around his body, it was the sword on his waist, and he was also as warm as jade.

Every word, not a word is aggressive, the more such a person, the easier it is to make people think that he is a soft persimmon and easy to pinch.

"It's natural to have a competition, but I'm a rough person, so I'll only come directly."

This person said, flew up to the stage, directly blocking Yun Jichen's way, this back and forth, the original scholars on the stage didn't know when they got off the field, and the two of them also drew their swords against each other.

"Third brother, what is the swordsman list?" Gu Qingyan suddenly remembered this term that she had heard in her ears, and asked about Bailimo, who was well-informed to her.

Baili Mo sighed lightly, really, Gu Qingyan didn't care about this kind of thing, so naturally he didn't know, there will always be all kinds of different rankings in this river and lake, what are the lists, the free list, etc., in short, it is the ranking of the martial arts and reputation of the major people in the rivers and lakes, and this swordsman list is mainly based on the celebrities who use swords, if Baili Mo is not mistaken, Hanyan is also on the list, but he forgot the specific number.

The appearance of these lists, no one knows where they come from or who counts them, but they are circulating from time to time in the rivers and lakes, and they are amazing.

At first, there was really no convincing, but then someone tried to challenge the people on the list, and after suffering a few times, slowly some people believed, and then passed ten, ten passed hundred, and the convincing power came like this.

"It's all the same." Gu Qingyan muttered, thinking about whether she would need to make up for the gaps in this regard when she turned around.

"By the way, when you entered the city, did you notice the place where the notice was posted at the gate of the city, and there was a piece of paper pasted on it for the past few days, with the names and orders of the people written on it, which should probably be the famous people in the city today."

Lin Rui said that he didn't care about this matter at first, but he remembered it when he heard someone mention the swordsman list today.

Xu Shaolin nodded, he also saw it when he entered the city, and at that time there was also a green sword written on it, Hanyan was at the top of the list, and Lin Rui also followed.

Now, the names of Qingjian have been placed on that list, and after he left everyone, he also saw the names of several of them on the list.

"There's a few of us on it." Xu Shaolin said.

"Huh." Baili Mo sneered, "It's not a big deal to see the excitement, girl, get ready." ”

Gu Qingyan raised his eyebrows, indicating that there was no problem, and nodded at them, Xu Shaolin and Bai Limo walked away from them, and one walked away in one direction.

Gu Qingyan took advantage of the time when everyone's attention was on the two people who were fighting on the stage, covered his sleeves, took off the bead curtain to hide his face, put on a crisp mask, raised his eyes to meet Han Yan's eyes, and smiled proudly.

Han Yan flicked her head and held the hand in her sleeve: "Let's go, let's go over there." ”

Gu Qingyan nodded, and let Han Yan lead him: "Is it okay to explore the snow?" ”

"There's Linrui here." Han Yan only looked ahead, holding Gu Qingyan with his hand.

"Oh." Gu Qingyan followed behind him, and at first glance he looked a little extra well-behaved.

Su Tanxue didn't know what she meant, and asked Lin Rui what this meant, and Lin Rui replied: "Act alone, give others a chance and give yourself a chance." Moreover, it is not easy to be injured by mistake. ”

Su Tanxue doesn't seem to understand, in short, she just has to be around Linrui.

Xu Shaolin, Bai Limo, Gu Qing Yan Hanyan and their triangle positions can see each other's situation and communicate with each other through gestures.

The fight on the stage changed wave after wave, and Gu Qingyan asked Han Yan: "Under what circumstances will the people from your villa make a move?" ”

"When someone maliciously provokes." Cold Rock Road.

Gu Qingyan nodded, this is their style of Qingquan Villa, and I don't know when the competition on the stage started, from one-on-one to two-to-two and then many-to-many.

One move and one style gradually changed from a self-contained school to a regular law, which attracted Gu Qingyan's attention: "It seems that it is starting to move seriously." Won't a famous family appear in a while? ”

"Clever." Hanyan also noticed.

Gu Qingyan raised her head arrogantly, her eyes returned to the stage, and as soon as she arrived at the next injured person, Gu Qingyan was speechless, and the people on the stage were so angry that they actually started shouting.

"I've always heard that the number one swordsmanship in this Xieyang City is the Qingquan Villa here, why haven't I seen it today! Didn't you just watch the excitement and become a turtle with a shrunken head? ”

After saying that, he turned to look at the attic behind him defiantly, and looked at the disciples of Qingquan Villa upstairs with disdain.

Xue Ti was also curious about the reaction of Qingquan Villa next, and he temporarily forgot his identity as an official master, which looked lively.

This remark did not arouse the disciples of the mountain villa, and the man said a few words that he didn't like very well, and some upright people couldn't listen to it, so they stood up and fought against it.

"Who are you, why do you want Qingquan Villa to come out and accept the challenge as soon as you say it."

"Are you holding on to it?"

"So what?"

"Then try it!"

Seeing the start of a new battle, Gu Qingyan pulled the sleeve of Hanyan's back hand: "Because of you, don't care?" ”

Han Yan was light: "Don't worry." ”

The kung fu of the people competing on the stage is not bad, and there are several rounds of one move and one style, but one side has more people and one side is weak, and after a period of time, you can see who has the upper hand and who has the upper hand.

At this time, Han Yan felt that the time had come, and nodded to Lin Rui not far away, Lin Rui's direction was facing the attic, and his gesture was directly conveyed to the junior disciples.

The moment they received the order, the disciples of Qingquan Villa in the attic jumped down with their swords in their hands, and one of them caught the person who was about to help them out from behind, and then bowed and thanked them: "Thank you, you rest first, and leave the rest to us." ”

Gentle and polite, handsome boy, this appearance made people tilt the balance in their hearts from the very beginning.

"I'm too late, a few knights, please."

Han Yan, as their young owner, told them that etiquette is to friends, but in a fight, politeness is enough, and there is no need to talk too much nonsense.

Therefore, the disciple who took the lead fell, and the other disciples followed suit, and then grabbed the hilt and scabbard of the sword, and made preparations.

Gu Qingyan in the audience secretly looked at Han Yan with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and muttered in his heart, this person really can't look at the surface, and no one can guarantee whether the so-called gentle surface is secretly calculated or not.

Not surprisingly, it was naturally the provocative people who stepped down in the end. The disciples of Qingquan Villa only stopped every sword point, but they were injured and did not let them die.

The duel calmed down for a while, after all, just a group of disciples made a move, and they had already seen the subtlety of the swordsmanship of the villa, each sword was not muddy and watery, and it seemed to be soft but could feel the sharpness of the sword qi.

Many people can't help but secretly think about what kind of picture it will be if it is the eldest brother or the young owner of the villa, although they look forward to it, they don't want that to happen to them.

After all, most people in this industry just want to make a name for themselves, and they don't want to die.

Xue Ti saw that the situation was gradually calming down, thinking that this matter was over, and looked up at the night sky that was already completely dark, with stars twinkling and the moon hanging high.

Qian Zhou was also about to breathe a sigh of relief, when he saw a group of people coming not far away, and walked straight to the ring. My heart trembled, and I secretly said that it was not good.

These people were the same as the disciples of Qingquan Villa, they were uniformly and neatly dressed, even the accessories around their waists were the same, and they all held swords in their hands and their eyes were firm.

Gu Qingyan and the others naturally noticed it, Han Yan, searching for his information and memory in his mind, and said, "It's the Bai family among the seven families in Nanling." ”

"The Seven of Nanling?" Gu Qingyan whispered.

The names of the seven families in Nanling are not unfamiliar, and they are an alliance of seven families in the Nanling area, including the Mo family of Qianxunbao, the Duan family of Duanshanmen, the Li family of Wanhai Zong, the Qingyang family of the Gulin School, the Bai family of Baifu, the Su family of Cangyunjian, and the Yu family of Youdao Room.

In addition to the Su family and the Yu family, the two families are mainly cultivators, and the remaining Bai family, Duan family, and Li family all walk the rivers and lakes with swordsmanship, and the Mo family was born in the dart game, so they are better at swords, guns, sticks, and freehand martial arts.

"Why are they here?" Gu Qingyan was puzzled, what allowed them to come from Nanling day and night when they entered the water, "Is it possible to compete with you?" ”

Han Yan also had such thoughts in his heart, and for a while he felt that there was nothing else except this reason, but he didn't know how many of these seven families came.

"In Baikun, Xiabaifu, I heard that Qingquan Villa's swordsmanship is outstanding, and I specially brought the disciples of Baifu to ask for advice."

Bai Kun, the youngest son of Bai Hang, the sect master of Baifu, is rumored to be the person who is most like him among Bai Haihang's two sons and one daughter, from martial arts attainments to personality, he is carved out of a mold, so he is most favored and favored by Bai Hang.

"White House? Which White House is it? ”

"It can be almost the same as Qingquan Villa, it should be the Baifu in Nanling."

"I've heard of this Bai Kun, some people call him Bai Xiaosanye, it can be seen that he still has some ability."

"Then according to that, don't you have to let the young owner of the Han Village come forward?"

"It's okay, I heard that the owner of Han Shaozhuang is in the city."

......

Some people in the crowd began to discuss, but Gu Qingyan didn't see any change in Han Yan's expression, and she didn't say much, just watched the disciples of Qingquan Villa politely reply to Bai Kun.

"I have already heard of the reputation of Bai Xiaosanye, and today I am fortunate to have a discussion with the disciples of Baifu, and I will gladly accept it, everyone."

The one who spoke was still a talented teenager, neither humble nor arrogant, treating each other politely, and interpreting the person who stretched out his hand and did not hit the smiling face very well.

At Bai Kun's signal, the disciples of the Bai family came to the stage, and the two sides faced each other, and they all gave salutes first.

"But Bai Kun has a doubt, I don't know if I can answer it?" Bai Kun glanced around, the person he was expecting did not appear, and he knew that he was destined to be tough, so he asked.

"Little Master Bai, please speak."

The stage has always been so polite, but the atmosphere is not relaxed at all, and the people below are puzzled, but they can't say anything.

"It stands to reason that if I fight you directly, it will be unfair, I don't know that the young owner of Qingquan Villa can be in the city, I think, my identity should be enough for him to appear."

What Bai Kun said is true, people who can't be named naturally don't need Han Yan's personal appearance and hands-on, Baifu and Qingquan Villa have the same status, and the identities of the two are also comparable, so they can naturally be compared with each other.

The disciple smiled: "The young owner is indeed in the city, but the young owner has something more important to do today than this." ”

After finishing speaking, Gu Qingyan raised her eyes and saw Han Yan looking down at her, the hand behind her back grabbed Gu Qingyan again, and whispered in her ear, "Did you hear that?" ”

Gu Qingyan suddenly felt that her cheeks were hot for a while, she lowered her head and said nothing, and stepped directly on the tip of Hanyan's toe with one foot.

Han Yan chuckled: "Hahaha, okay, I won't tease you, protect yourself, the Seven Great Families are estimated to be more than one in Baifu." ”

After speaking, he touched the back of Gu Qingyan's head, stroked down her hair, and stopped when he touched her peach blossom pendant.

Gu Qingyan nodded: "Don't worry, go ahead." ”

Han Yan walked from the crowd to the stage, and Lin Rui still stayed by Su Tanxue's side for the time being: "Brother Yan will be fine." ”

No matter how stupid people are, they can see that this time Baifu is going directly to Qingquan Villa, and Su Tanxue will inevitably be worried.

Lin Rui comforted: "Don't worry, it's okay." ”

He thought about the fights just now, some women couldn't stand it and had already left, and Su Tanxue sometimes couldn't help but close her eyes when she saw some serious injuries, and she was probably still a little scared in her heart.

Han Yan's appearance was expected by Bai Kun, even if some disciples said that he had something important, but Bai Kun believed that Han Yan would definitely appear, which was his particularly accurate intuition.

Looking from the direction where Han Yan appeared, Bai Kun seemed to see a woman, and he knew this important thing in his heart.

Gu Qingyan felt Bai Kun's gaze, nodded politely at him slowly, and when he looked up again, he only saw Han Yan's figure that seemed to fall from the sky.

A plain and elegant dress was blown away by the wind, and his clothes were in the wind, like a legendary immortal monarch, holding a sword and falling in front of Bai Kun: "Bai Xiaosanye has worked hard to get to Xieyang City, and Han should not be lazy." ”

"Okay, Bai Kun will not delay the important matter of the Han Shaozhuang owner."

"How does Little Third Master Bai want to compete?"

"Let's see how the disciples of each family are doing first?"

"Please."

After the two masters finished politely, the people below really started to move, and for a while, the stage was lively again.

Bai Kun and Han Yan stood in one position on the left and right, watching the competition, and always paying attention to each other's movements, no one could say when the two would fight.
