Chapter Seventy-Six: The Battle of the Five Great Powers (1)
Lu Rui shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"Let's go, go and call him." After Li Yi finished speaking, he took a step, and Lu Rui turned around to follow.
Not long after Li Yi and Lu Rui walked out of the pavilion, they saw He Yuxiang not far away yawning and walking towards them slowly, and greeted them in a lazy tone, "Boss, little Ruirui, morning!" ”
Li Yi and Lu Rui looked at each other, how could this situation make them feel a sense of déjà vu.
"Have you had breakfast?" He Yuxiang asked as he walked over.
Lu Rui replied: "No, I'm about to go." ”
"That's just right, let's go together." He Yuxiang stretched his waist and walked with them.
In the Zhao Mansion, Jiang Kuo received an envelope from Chang'an, which was sent by Qian Fangshen quickly, and ordered him to catch the suspect Du Xun as soon as possible without delay.
The remaining 25,000 taels of gold had been prepared and personally escorted by Jiang Kuo to ensure the safety of the gold.
There are only ten days left before the deadline for the emperor's decree, and now he hasn't even seen the figure of the suspect, and the Longpan case is urgent.
An hour and a half later, Jiang Kuo came to Xianju Villa with the men and horses escorting the gold.
At this time, Song Shangfei had already left for Wangtiantai and was not in the villa, leaving only Xie Yinling to take care of the affairs in the villa.
In the lobby, more than a dozen wooden boxes were placed on the ground and opened, revealing glittering gold, Jiang Kuo shook his fist at Xie Yinling and said: "Miss Xie, this is 25,000 taels of gold, plus the previous deposit, a total of 50,000 taels, please take a look." ”
Xie Yinling waved her hand, and several men behind her stepped forward to count the numbers.
"Guard Jiang, please be seated." Xie Yinling politely stretched out his hand and pointed to the seat on the side.
Jiang Kuo sat down after thanking him, and asked Du Xun about his progress as soon as he opened his mouth: "Miss Xie, I don't know if the Phantom Hall has found Du Xun's whereabouts?" ”
Xie Yinling knew that he would inquire about this matter, and replied: "Guards Jiang don't need to worry, if there is news, the Phantom Hall will naturally inform you." ”
Jiang Kuo was not satisfied with Xie Yinling's answer, but he couldn't clash with them or tear his face, and collude with the murder organization, although it was just a deal, but if it was spread, the death penalty would be inevitable.
"I also ask Miss Xie to find Du Xun's traces as soon as possible and arrest him."
Xie Yinling sneered, "Guard Jiang just waits with peace of mind." ”
......
Looking at the rooftop, the wide square was crowded with swordsmen and ordinary people who came to watch the battle, and the bustling was more lively than the bazaar.
The game is still as usual, the person who reads the name goes to the stage to draw lots, and then has a one-on-one duel with the swordsman who is drawn, and the person who automatically admits defeat and abstains, has no ability to fight after falling, or is knocked out of the ring during the game is considered out.
The first to draw lots on stage was Qi Diaoyang, who was still wrapped in black, wearing a black hat, the brim of the hat covered most of his face, and he couldn't see the outline clearly, and the whole person looked extremely mysterious.
Qi Diaoyang hit Lu Rui, He Yu looked at Lu Rui with a little worry, he didn't let him run into it, but collided with Lu Rui.
He Yuxiang patted Lu Rui on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Xiao Ruirui, come on, strive to break the record." ”
Lu Rui glanced at him, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and then turned his head to look at Li Yi, who nodded at him in encouragement.
The two took the stage, and the game officially began.
The swordsman who can enter the top ten has good swordsmanship, and success or failure is often only a thought.
Lu Rui took the lead in attacking, but the move was relatively ordinary, and he wanted to detect the strength of the other party.
Qi Diaoyang also rushed over, the two swords faced each other, the stage suddenly splashed with fire, angry, after ten moves, it was not up and down, when the two swords touched each other again, Lu Rui entered the semi-successful force, and successfully repelled Qi Diaoyang.
Qi Diaoyang was forced to take five steps back to stabilize his body, his will to fight was aroused, and no one had ever been able to repel him so easily.
Lu Rui took advantage of the victory to pursue, the sword blade aimed at the opponent's heart, Qi Diaoyang quickly retracted his shocked gaze, and used the sword to block Lu Rui's fatal blow.
Lu Rui's cold face was like frost, and the speed of his moves became faster and faster, in the face of Lu Rui's straightforward swordsmanship, Qi Diaoyang gradually couldn't keep up, he had been suppressed by Lu Rui, and he didn't even have a chance to show it.
Lu Rui didn't break through the fifth layer of the three lanes of Yueshui before, if he met Qi Diaoyang, he might have a little difficulty, but now it is different, he not only reached the sixth layer of the third lane of Yueshui, but also recently learned the swordsmanship of Renzong, and he has a chance to win against Qi Diaoyang.
Lu Rui forced Qi Diaoyang to the edge of the ring, Qi Diaoyang flew up, Lu Rui also stood up, and the two fought in the air, swords and swords.
Lu Rui's sword aura was clear, cold and piercing, Qi Diaoyang didn't hold on for half an hour, his body was stiff and difficult to perform martial arts, and with a muffled sound, he fell to the ground and his body kept trembling, and he never got up again.
Several disciples from the Wuqing faction ran up to carry him down, and one of them touched his body and exclaimed, "Wow! So cool. ”
His body seemed to be frozen into ice, and his breathing was weak, and several people hurriedly carried him down to make a fire to keep him warm.
It's incredible that the sunny weather can freeze people into ice.
The next to come to the stage to draw lots is Liu Yutong, and his opponent is Zhong Mu.
Liu Yutong was seriously injured yesterday, although Deng Wenjun gave him internal force therapy, but Liu Yutong's internal strength and physical strength were too much to lose, and now he has only recovered seven successful strengths, and it is extremely difficult for him to win this game.
Zhong Mu stepped onto the stage elegantly, politely shook his fist at Liu Yutong and saluted, looking at him with a peaceful expression.
Liu Yutong saw that he was so confident and calm, and he was immediately panicked.
"Mr. Zhong, please."
"Liu Gongzi is polite."
When the words fell, both of them attacked at the same time, and both chose to give up their defensive strategies.
The reason why Liu Yutong wants to fight quickly is very simple, if he fights a delaying battle, he will undoubtedly give the other party time and gradually consume his own strength, which is absolutely fatal to Liu Yutong, and he will never allow this kind of thing to happen.
There is a reason why Zhong Mu wants to win the game as soon as possible, and if he wants to prove to Li Yi that his ability is strong enough, he must give up the strategy of steady and steady fighting, and break through himself in the battle, which is also a test for him to himself.
The battle on the field was fierce, and Liu Yutong used his strong sword qi to suppress Zhong Mu's counterattack, trying to force Zhong Mu to fall out of the ring.
Zhong Mu kept gliding back against the ground, and when he saw that he was about to fall off the ring, Liu Yutong's tense face finally raised a smile, but it was a pity that he thought everything was too simple. I saw Zhong Mu point to the ground with the blade of Xue Dusk and then soar into the air, and a sword shook Liu Yutong's attack, Zhong Mu's face still had a light expression like spring water.
After playing for almost half an hour before the winner could be decided, Liu Yutong had no choice but to use Chao Feiyang and foggy floating.
