Chapter 246: The Beginning
"How long are you going to fight alone with such a person?"
In the courtyard on a moonlit night, the man who was usually silent looked at her and said so.
Ying Baoyue was slightly stunned, and raised her head to look at the figure bathed in the cold moonlight.
The next moment, she looked down at the shadow of only her under her feet, and in the long silence, she smiled at Li Jiwei.
"So I look like I'm alone?"
The dark eyes in the bronze mask stared at her silently in the moonlight.
"Isn't it?" Li Ji stared at the thin and slender girl under the tree.
From the Li Mountain of the former Qin to the Mu Mountain of Southern Chu, from the devastated Yunmengze to the Imperial Prayer Province of Southern Chu, and then to the upcoming polo battle.
This woman has been going all the way, almost exclusively challenging things that are not allowed and not recognized by the world, and she has never stopped coming here, no matter how good she is or how strong her opponent is.
But further down, it's not just a matter of trauma.
This woman has relied on her indomitable will and rare personal ability to get here, and with her realm, even he has to admit that it is a miracle that she has been able to get here.
But the next road is not something that can be completed by one person who is strong.
But apart from the guard beside her who was lower than her, almost no one would completely stand by her side.
Whether it's Ying Xun, Ji Jiashu, Xu Yishan, or Zhao Guang, these people all have their own positions and families, and they won't give up everything to help her, while other people and ordinary cultivators, who only have the identity of a female cultivator, will shy away from her.
He admits that she is indeed not weak, and that she has almost done the best she can in terms of what a personal practitioner can do.
But that's the limit.
She wanted too many things to get by herself.
"Ahki. You remember, the courage of the puppet is not enough to set. ”
With the words that the person had spoken to him echoing in his ears, Li Ji looked at Ying Baoyue quietly, "Do you really think that polo can be won by you alone?" ”
In the moonlight, the man's gaze was cold.
Ying Baoyue looked at him fixedly and shook her head, "I don't think so. ”
Li Ji looked at her quietly, if she thought so, it was really hopeless. He didn't know what he was thinking tonight, and he would admonish others like that.
In the first round of the crowd battle, this woman really dominated the battle with her unexpected means and sudden accidents, but all this didn't work in the second round.
Polo has no accidents other than serious injuries to the participants, and if the whole team does not work together, everything is in vain.
And the woman in front of her, even if she can win against almost all the team members, she has not practiced with these people at all, in other words, Qianqin's team is now completely scattered.
What's more, none of those people will cooperate with her.
This afternoon, everyone looked at this woman in amazement, but Li Ji knew very well that surprise was just surprise after all.
It doesn't translate into the strength of the team.
Even Ji Jiashu, who was known as a genius and had outstanding popularity, could not save the defeat of the Southern Chu team that year, and Southern Chu was defeated by the Northern Wei Dynasty in the polo battle.
This woman's team is many times more scattered than Nan Chu's team, how does she want to win?
Is it a man on a rampage?
Li Ji didn't know how many self-proclaimed powerful cultivators had gone on a rampage on the polo field, wanting to be in the limelight, but in the end, not only did they fail to steal the limelight, but they also disrupted their own team, and in the end they got everything.
No, it's not just that you didn't get the benefits.
Li Ji quietly stared at Ying Baoyue's shoulder, "What's wrong with your right shoulder?" ”
Ying Baoyue was stunned and touched it, "It's just a fall, and it will be fine tomorrow." ”
It will be fine, but the bruising will not go away in a short time.
In official competitions, it is often not a fall that can be done, and there will be more fatal and irreparable injuries waiting for you.
"I see what you mean," and at that moment, the girl who was hiding alone under the tree just looked at him and smiled, "but what do you think I can do?" ”
"If you are an ordinary cultivator, there are only two paths," Li Ji said lightly, "either give up the unattainable goal, or give up the so-called principle." ”
The so-called companion is not necessarily the one who takes the initiative to help her, Li Ji quietly looked at Ying Baoyue. And the so-called principle can only be kept by people like Ji Jiashu.
Companions can be made.
Co-optation, bribery, threats, and exploitation are common methods of the family. Besides, these are not murders for money, and they will not stain their hands.
"I don't think you'll be unaware of the means of making those people obedient in private." Li Ji looked at Ying Baoyue and said lightly.
Growing up in the court and not knowing this, this woman could not have lived to such an age.
"I do know," said the girl under the tree, smiling at him, "but I don't want to either." ”
Li Ji's eyes froze, but the next moment he returned to the ancient well without waves.
Now he almost understood.
And so it is.
This woman will come out of the words.
He wasn't trying to incite her to do that, maybe he just wanted to hear her answer.
"Thank you," and at this moment, Ying Baoyue looked at him and smiled.
Obviously he had a bunch of things she wouldn't do at all. Li Ji said in his heart.
"Thank you for the advice, but I also have my own way of doing things, and ......" Ying Baoyue looked at the man standing on the tree and smiled.
"And I'm never alone." She said seriously.
If she wanted to fight alone, she would have gone straight to the Great Wall of Eternal Night.
Li Ji was stunned when he heard this, and the next moment he restrained his expression and said lightly, "Really?" ”
"Hmm," Ying hugged Yue and saluted him, then turned around and walked towards the west courtyard, but just after she took two steps, she stopped again and looked back at Li Ji.
"Li Ji, the person who is really fighting alone, is it you?"
He doesn't say a word about what is important to him, and always just quietly watches
Li Ji was stunned when he heard this, and the next moment he said lightly, "What I want to do, there is no one around me who can stand together." ”
His enemies are too powerful for anyone to help him.
"Really?" Ying Baoyue paused, suddenly looked at Li Ji and asked, "Li Ji, where is your sword?" ”
From the beginning of her acquaintance, she had never seen this man with a sword. The Ming Ming Sword is as important to a cultivator as another arm.
Li Ji glanced at her and said quietly, "It's buried." ”
Accompanied by his most important memories.
This person really has enough secrets, Ying Baoyue looked at the straw rope tied to the man's head on the tree as always, and smiled slightly.
"I hope to see you wielding a sword one day." Ying hugged the moon and said. Although it is estimated that something big will happen at that time.
Li Ji nodded.
"I'm done thinking," Ying Baoyue said with a smile, "I'm back in the house." ”
The night talk under the moonlit night ended, the two did not say a word, everything was smooth and comfortable, and ushered in Ming.
……
……
Second, the second round of the Nanchu Elementary Ceremony, the polo battle, began like this.
Standing on the Nanchu Royal Horse Farm, in the tense air, there was only one thing that stood out.
"What is this?" Guichen looked at the huge box in the middle of the runway.
"This is the lottery box," Ying Baoyue said.
It is used to determine which country will be faced in the first round of Qianqin.
