"Lord Cheng Yu, it is impossible for a dead person to speak, you are clearly making it difficult for a strong man. Yang Ming stared at Cheng Yu's somewhat playful eyes, and responded angrily, "Or do you want to protect Rongguo?"

Hearing the young man's questioning, Cheng Yu's eyebrows twitched unkindly, and then he said angrily, "Presumptuous, are you questioning my judgment?

Yang Ming raised Li Qingshan's head and defended, "I have Li Qingshan's head as proof......

However, Cheng Yu didn't wait for Yang Ming to finish speaking, but he rudely interrupted him, and shouted loudly, "A dead man's head is not evidence, I can also take a dead man's head now and say that this person is a killer sent by your Jiang Guo, so are you credible?"

"Are you ......" Hearing Cheng Yu's rhetorical question, Yang Ming was suddenly speechless, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

After all, Yang Ming is just a twelve-year-old boy, in terms of scheming, where can he compare to Cheng Yu Huang Zheng and other clever and eloquent veterans, they have been in officialdom for a long time, and their best ability is to "speak", with a mouth, black can also be said to be white.

Although Yang Ming understood in his heart that Cheng Yu was favoring Rongguo, the young man was very helpless, because Li Qingshan was dead, and there was no proof of death.

As Cheng Yu said, a dead man's head is not evidence.

Seeing that the confrontation was at an impasse, at this time, Dazai Jiang Zi'an stood up, first to Cheng Yu, and arched his hand and said, "Student Jiang Guo has just finished the exam, and he has experienced a lot of fighting, and he is anxious and reckless, and I ask Lord Cheng Yu for forgiveness." ”

After that, Jiang Zi'an turned to look at Yang Ming, stared at the head in his hand, and said righteously, "Yang Ming, this head will be handed over to me for the time being, since there is a killer who plots to kill my Jiang Guo student, then our Jiang Guo must not give up on this matter, I will definitely investigate it to the end, once the true identity of this killer is found out, and the mastermind behind the scenes, our Jiang Guo must pay his blood debt with blood." ”

Jiang Zi'an's words seemed to be said to Yang Ming, but he was actually saying it to the people of Rongguo.

Hearing this, the corners of Rongguo's envoy Huang Zheng's mouth twitched slightly, and he put on an indifferent look, and said, "Okay, please Dazai-sama be sure to find out, I also want to know who sent this killer, so as to give us justice to Rongguo." ”

Listening to Huang Zheng's brazen words, Yang Ming felt a burst of angry anger, which made his chest feel stuffy, "Damn, the people of Rongguo are really a group of foxes, they are really cunning." ”

Helpless, Yang Ming had no choice but to listen to Jiang Zi'an's words and hand over Li Qingshan's head for the time being.

After the killer's argument passed for the time being, the examiner continued to judge the results of this exam, his eyes swept over the Rongguo students, counted the number of people, and then swept his gaze to the Jiang Guo students. After the number of people on both sides was counted, the examiner shouted to the high platform, "In this excellent selection examination in the mountain, there are twenty-four Rongguo students going down the mountain, and twenty-eight Jiangguo students going down the mountain. ”

Hearing that he was ahead in numbers, Jiang Wang nodded with satisfaction, but compared to the more than 100 students who took the exam, only twenty-eight people were left alive now, so you can imagine how cruel this exam was, and the smile on the corner of Jiang Wang's mouth was also a little sad.

The ministers who accompanied him were also very relieved.

Huang Zheng was gloomy, his heart was uneasy, his eyes coldly pointed at the Rongguo team, looked at Zhu Lianying standing at the front of the team, the reproachful gaze, as if asking, "Zhu Lianying, what's going on? Why are there only twenty-four people left in our Rongguo, and what's going on with Li Qingshan?"

Looking at Huang Zheng's dazzling gaze, Zhu Lianying lowered her head in shame, "I'm sorry, I disappointed you." ”

Cheng Yu's face was also not good-looking, he glanced at Huang Zheng with white eyes, very disappointed, and secretly said in his heart, "Hmph, you Rongguo people are really useless, you even used the bad trick of secretly sending killers, and you ended up so miserable?"

However, after thinking about it, Cheng Yu's eyes became a little deeper, and he thought in his heart, "No, even if the people of Rongguo are not good, there are still two brothers in this exam, Gao Li and Gao He, how could they end up so miserably, are the students of Jiang Guo really that strong?"

It seems that Jiang Guo is not so easy to deal with.

At this time, the examiner cleared his throat and continued, "The rules of this exam are to use five people as a team, collect four maps of the Mountain of No Return, and the number of teams must not be less than half, before you can pass the exam. ”

Hearing the examiner's words, the students in the venue, as well as everyone on the high platform, were shocked.

"Hey, there are still such exam rules? Who wins and who loses in this exam, I'm afraid there will be variables again. ”

Everyone's hearts were tugged at again, and they anxiously awaited the final judgment of the examiner.

On the Jiang Guo students' side, there are three copies of the four complete maps of the Mountain of No Return in their hands, but there are only two teams with more than half of the number of people, namely, five members of Yang Ming's team, Yang Ming, Xin'er, Lin Dong, Wang Shi, Ye Zhanfei, Liu Qianyu's team of three, Liu Qianyu, Yan Zhendong, and Han Mingshan.

Before going down the mountain, Yang Ming knew the rules of the exam, so he divided the map early, so Yang Ming's team and Liu Qianyu's team, a total of eight people, successfully passed the exam.

After the examiner confirmed, Jiang Guo's results were immediately announced, "Jiang Guo, a total of eight people passed the excellent selection examination this time. ”

"It's only eight people! That's too small. ”

Hearing this result, the hearts of the ministers of Jiang Kingdom suddenly became nervous, and King Jiang couldn't help but frown. 九九 Chinese .

The next thing is to look at the results of Rongguo's side, which will determine the victory or defeat of this exam.

After a quarter of an hour, the examiner checked the results of the students of Rongguo according to the team list and the map, and on Rongguo's side, there were four maps in his hand, but there were only two teams with more than half of the number of people. They are, Zhu Lianying's team of four, Zhu Lianying, Wang Zhen, Wang Mang, Li Fei, Gao Li's team of four, Gao Li, Gao He, Liu Zhen, Lei Gang.

At this time, the audience was silent, and everyone was waiting for the final announcement of the examiner.

With a sigh of relief, the examiner faced the high platform and shouted loudly, "Rongguo, a total of eight people passed the excellent selection examination." ”

Hey, it's also eight?

As soon as this result came out, on the high platform, everyone suddenly exhaled a cool breath, and the result of this exam was really unexpected by everyone.

"It's all eight? How can this be counted, a draw?"

"I think we Jiang Guo should win, after all, there are twenty-eight Jiang Guo students who have gone down the mountain, and there are only twenty-four people in Rongguo. One of the ministers suggested.

"That's right, that's right, it should be Jiang Guoying. The ministers responded.

Listening to Jiang Guoren's emotional words, Huang Zheng's body couldn't help shaking, his nose snorted lightly, and he said resolutely, "I don't agree, the exam has its own rules, and the examiner also clearly says that it is judged according to the number of team members and the map, so why do you just say that you will win if you win." ”

"Then change the rules. We have an advantage in numbers, of course, we Jiang Guo wins. Jiang Guo's ministers said one after another.

For a time, the two parties were in dispute.

At this time, An Shice, who had been sitting in the sedan chair, suddenly spoke, his voice was old and dull, as if he had a layer of dry paper in his throat.

"Rules are rules, and they can't be changed. ”

An Shice's words instantly stopped the sound of disputes on the high platform, everyone's faces suddenly stopped, and countless eyes turned to the sedan chair.

This is the first time that everyone has heard An Shice's voice after entering here from this sedan chair.

After stagnation for a long time, Cheng Yu reacted, he bowed slightly, and asked An Shice in the sedan chair, "Since the rules cannot be changed, dare to ask Mr. An Shice, how can this exam determine victory or defeat?"

After a slight pause, An Shice's voice came from the sedan chair again, "Now Jiang Rong and the two countries are eight people who have passed the exam, in order to distinguish the victory and defeat, the old man proposed to hold another competition, among the students who passed, the two countries each selected four people, a total of eight people, held an eight-person battle, and the final winner, which side is which, is which country wins." ”

"Well, that's a good idea. Cheng Yu nodded slightly and agreed.

After Cheng Yu agreed, Huang Zheng immediately echoed and said, "Rong Guo agreed to Mr. An Shice's proposal. ”

Cheng Yu and Huang Zheng agreed so readily because there were two brothers Gao Li and Gao He in Rongguo's team, and there was also Zhu Lianying, while Jiang Guo only had one Yang Ming on his side, and holding an eight-person battle had a great advantage for Rongguo.

"King Jiang, what do you think?" Cheng Yu looked at King Jiang, his eyes were quite provocative, and said faintly, "Isn't it better to solve the disputes between the two countries in the way of an eight-person battle than the war that may occur between the two countries?"

Cheng Yu's words were very steady, but full of threats, and the implication was, "If you don't agree, then go to war." ”

King Jiang's face was slightly solemn, on the one hand, he was unwilling to start another war, and the blood flowed like a river, on the other hand, he was afraid of the threat of Liang State, if Jiang Rong and the two countries went to war again, Liang State would definitely help Rong Guo, so that Jiang State would be defeated.

Weighing the left and right, Jiang Guo sighed lightly, and said helplessly, "If the widow agrees, another competition will be held in the form of an eight-person battle." ”

Jiang Wang could only put his hope on the Jiang Guo students, hoping that they would win.

"Okay, then please ask Mr. An Shice to arrange it. Cheng Yu smiled proudly, with great intention of succeeding in the conspiracy, and then asked An Shice in the sedan chair.

At this time, An Shice's voice in the sedan chair sounded again, and he said in a deep voice, "Since King Jiang has also agreed, then the eight-person battle will be set the day after tomorrow, and the location will be here." ”

Eight-man battle!

After listening to An Shice's arrangement, Yang Ming's heart sank, and his little face suddenly became much more solemn. At this time, he felt a piercing gaze coming, and immediately turned to look, only to see Gao Li in the Rongguo team staring at him with his arms crossed, and a pair of eyes were as sharp as blades.

"Hmph, Yang Ming, eight-person battle, this time you are dead. ”
