Yao Ruoyu's words naturally carried much more weight than Jiang Jihu, and immediately Tong Fu looked at him cautiously, and then Zhao Fa said coldly: "King Hezhou, I advise you not to meddle in things." ”

Where do you think Yao Ruoyu directly opened his mouth and shouted angrily: "What kind of thing are you? Dare to talk to me like this? Didn't the adults of your family teach you what etiquette is? Do you have an official position? Can you have a knighthood? Yijie Buyi, how dare you talk to this king like this?"

Seeing that Yao Ruoyu directly oppressed people with the throne, Zhao Fa and Tong Fu both turned red, but no matter how unruly they were, they didn't dare to say words that disrespected the vassal king.

Seeing that Zhao Fa and Tong Fu finally closed their mouths, Yao Ruoyu and Jiang Jihu turned their heads and looked at Gongsun Zhan and Li Shuyi, with a little concern and worry on their faces resurfaced.

Looking at Li Shuyi in a coma and Gongsun Zhan who paid attention, Yao Ruoyu sighed secretly, although the communication was not long, but the second daughter was in an extremely kind mood, if he could, he really hoped to help the second daughter pass the third level.

Gongsun Zhan can say that this woman is a half-step four-step realm, and now that she has recovered seventy percent of her strength, she is also sure of entering the top ten, but Li Shuyi, who is only three realms and five realms, even if she wakes up, it is impossible to enter the top ten.

Mu Langya gave everyone half an hour to rest, so everyone else had already practiced the cultivation and healing of the wounds, Jiang Jihu, Ni Chan, and Gongsun Zhan also prepared for the later competition.

Yao Ruoyu didn't have much loss before, so he didn't bother to prepare for the exercises, so he sat silently next to a few people, his eyes sharply glanced at Xie Li, Zhao Fa and others, thinking about which people to take the knife.

Just when Yao Ruoyu held her cheeks and muttered silently, Li Shuyi beside her suddenly snorted and opened her eyes weakly.

Seeing her wake up, Yao Ruoyu was overjoyed, and quickly reached out to help her up, and asked, "How do you feel when you wake up?"

Because Ni Chan had already given Li Shuyi medicine before, her injuries were temporarily stabilized, but her cultivation was not one out of ten, and she might not even be able to fight an ordinary person at this moment, let alone fight.

Hearing Yao Ruoyu's inquiry, Li Shuyi sensed her body slightly, and then her face darkened slightly: "I ......"

Yao Ruoyu simply explained the rules of the third level, and then said: "No matter what, with your current cultivation and passing the two levels, it is already very remarkable, and Evergreen Valley will recruit disciples next year, so you can come back then." ”

Biting her lip, a few tears suddenly appeared in the corners of Li Shuyi's eyes, and she suddenly shook her head fiercely and said with tears in her eyes: "It's too late." ”

"Too late?" Yao Ruoyu was stunned when he heard this, and before he could understand, Li Shuyi had already said bitterly: "Daddy plotted a family affair for me and a young master of a family in Jingdezhen, I refused in every possible way, and my sister helped me to let my father relax, as long as I pass this assessment, I can dissolve the marriage." ”

Yao Ruoyu was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the ancients got married much earlier than in modern times, such as the Song Dynasty, and the age of sixteen was already at the age of marriage.

Seeing Li Shuyi in tears, Yao Ruoyu didn't know how to persuade her, so she could only sigh and be silent.

*——*——*——*

With the elimination of most of the candidates, the crowd standing under the gate of the Evergreen Valley Mountain has also decreased a lot, and the escorts of those eliminated candidates have all left, leaving only the escorts of the remaining eighteen candidates still here.

At this time, the entourage of those candidates behind him was arguing fiercely about something, and after listening carefully, they realized that they were arguing about whether Yao Ruoyu was qualified to participate in the Evergreen Valley apprenticeship assessment.

"That's the King of Hezhou! A character who fights with three realms and five realms, this kind of person participates in the assessment, and it is too unfair to others!"

"That is to say, with him, where is there any hope for the others?"

"The master of the pastoral hall has already restrained him from performing secret arts, then he is only three realms and nine realms, and some candidates are already in the four realms, if it is unfair, it is unfair to the king of Hezhou!"

"He can compete with the Five Realms, even if he doesn't use secret techniques, he is still a person of the same level, of course it's not fair!"

Among the people arguing, the seniors of Zhao Fa, Xie Li, Jiang Jihu, Ni Chan and others quarreled the most fiercely, among which Zhao Fa's uncle Zhao Guangyuan suddenly stared at Jiang Tianhe, the eldest elder of the Yingtan Jiang family, and sneered: "Old guy, you help Yao Ruoyu so much, is it because you have colluded with them?"

Jiang Tianhe was furious when he heard this: "The old man is just speaking up, what kind of collusion?"

"Really?" With a cruel laugh, Zhao Guangyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly, "In that case, then after I return to Beijing, I will show my eldest brother, and he will send someone to Yingtan, and when the time comes, see if you can continue to speak up!"

"You ......" I didn't expect Zhao Guangyuan to use his power to suppress people without saying a word, Jiang Tianhe's whole face suddenly turned red, but he also knew that although the Jiang family was dominant in Yingtan, in the face of Zhao Tianjiao, a soldier who had cultivated in the Six Realms, the Jiang family was not an opponent at all.

Seeing that Jiang Tianhe was obviously angry but didn't dare to speak, Zhao Guangyuan suddenly smiled proudly.

"When you face the army of the Jin Kingdom, will your eldest brother be able to save your life?"

However, the next moment, a gentle voice sounded quietly, making Zhao Guangyuan's face suddenly turn blue, and he turned his head to look at it angrily, and when he saw the person who spoke, his iron-green face instantly turned pale.

At this time, standing under the mountain gate, in addition to the accompanying people of these candidates, were the high-level leaders of Evergreen Valley.

In addition to the five people who stood here first, there were several more high-level people in Evergreen Valley, among which there was a middle-aged female champion who had registered the results for everyone at the peak of Dawang Peak before, and they were all masters of the Five Realms of Evergreen Valley.

Among the five people who appeared first, four of them were the masters of the four major branch halls of Evergreen Valley that focused on cultivation, and the willow realm that Yao Ruoyu had seen was inside, looking at Yao Ruoyu in the light curtain with an ugly face.

More than ten Five Realms, four Six Realms, so many masters gathered together, but they could stand at the front of the crowd with the posture of the leader, and the last of the five people was undoubtedly the current valley master of Evergreen Valley, Xie Chenghong.

Xie Chenghong, who was dressed in a brown robe, was only in his thirties, with vicissitudes of life and a faint smile on his face, the whole person looked ordinary, but there was a daunting aura in his body, which was a mighty spirit that seemed to support the heavens and the earth and would not collapse.

Looking at Zhao Guangyuan, Xie Chenghong's eyes were calm, and he seemed to have no desires or thoughts, but only those who were familiar with him could discover the waves hidden under his calmness.

Looking around at the people who suddenly fell silent, Xie Chenghong said slowly: "Putting the family on your mouth all day long, can it make your cultivation progress?"

Seeing Zhao Guangyuan, whose face was pale, everyone suddenly remembered that Jiang Jihu had said similar things to Zhao Fa and the others before, but at that time they were all full of disdain.

However, the same words, Jiang Jihu said one weight, and Xie Chenghong said another weight, which was so heavy that no one dared to refute it, and did not dare to disdain to answer with the attitude of a senior, but pondered silently one by one.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xie Chenghong retracted his gaze and turned his head to look at the light curtain, but his mouth did not stop, and he still said lightly: "If Jiang Jihu enters my Evergreen Valley, the Yingtan Jiang family will naturally be related to my Evergreen Valley, if your eldest brother wants to investigate the Jiang family, don't forget that my Evergreen Valley is also connected with it, and I will wait for him to investigate at any time." ”

Listening to Xie Chenghongyun's breezy words, Zhao Guangyuan's face became more and more ugly, he dared to threaten Jiang Tianhekou, but in the face of Xie Chenghong's threat, he didn't dare to have the slightest rebuttal, don't say that it was him, even his brother Zhao Tianjiao, he didn't dare at all.

This is Xie Chenghong, the current valley master of Evergreen Valley, a rare master of the Seven Realms in the world, if he is really angered, the entire Zhao family will no longer exist.

In the past, he relied on his family to oppress people, but now that he is in the situation of those who were oppressed in the past, Zhao Guangyuan's heart was full of bitterness, and he truly experienced the state of mind of those people in the past.

*——*——*——*

At this time, in Diaoyu City, Duan Li was also in a bitter mood.

When he agreed to Yao Ruoyu's invitation, he and Li Huo led the elite soldiers of the Dali and Western Xia clans to support, seeking to obtain a city for their own family members, and no longer have to live in the valley.

Now this quest has also been completed, the two clans settled in the city-state, and there are clansmen settled in Diaoyu City and Hezhou City, but after settling down, the natural change is no longer the former peace of residence, but the hope of seeking higher power.

To be honest, in Duan Li's opinion, the current literary and artistic army of the city-state is just an ordinary army, especially Yang Renjie and others, who are leading the army, are only three realms, and this level is at most the middle level of the army in their clan, where is it qualified to serve as a battalion general.

However, on the one hand, Yao Ruoyu can suppress the five realms with the body of the three realms, and he has the Diaoyutai in hand, on the other hand, the literary army has the support of Chu Yangge, the powerhouse of the eight realms, which also makes the two clans throw a rat and dare not use their troops to seize the city.

Since they didn't dare to do it openly, Duan Li and Li Huo planned to settle in first, relying on the elites of the two clans to slowly seize the power of the city-state.

It's just that I couldn't imagine that the military power was firmly held by Yao Ruoyu, and Xu Xuanrong, a strange woman, controlled the five government departments, and completely suppressed the actions of the two clans to seek political power with the help of Bai Qiuyu, Bai Junru, and Song Kai.

In this way, although the two clans have strong armies and countless elites, they are not able to gradually control the city-state as originally planned, but gradually become subordinate to the city-state.

These are all clan affairs, although they are at a disadvantage, but Duan Li can barely cope with it, but now what makes him most bitter in his heart is the illness of his only daughter.

Although you are the patriarch of the Dali relics, Duan Li only married one wife and had a daughter named Duan Yun.

When Duan Yun was born, it was when the Jin Kingdom invaded the Taoyuan Valley where they took refuge, during that time, there were many wars, Duan Li had been fighting abroad for many years, although his wife was in a safe situation in the valley, but she became ill because of worrying about Duan Li, and died of illness in the valley soon after giving birth to Duan Yun.

And Duan Yun was born when his mother was seriously ill, and his congenital constitution was weak, although he relied on elixir to hang his life for many years, but he was always in danger of dying, and he also found many famous doctors, all of whom were helpless.

Until a few days ago, Duan Li invited Hou Jingru, the director of the Bang'en Division of the Leader's Mansion, to diagnose his daughter.

When he first came to the city-state, Duan Li knew that Hou Jingru was good at medical skills, but the other party was less than twenty years old after all, and it was difficult for him to have confidence in Hou Jingru.

In the past ten years, Duan Li has exhausted all methods, and he is even about to give up, so he invited Hou Jingru.

However, to Duan Li's great surprise, I don't know if it was Hou Jingru's medical skills, or the subtlety of his spiritual practice, he actually helped Duan Yun recover a little bit of vitality.

Although it is only a little effective, for Duan Li, Hou Jingru can be regarded as a living bodhisattva in the world.

However, just when Duan Li was immersed in joy, a secret letter from Li Huo broke his joy.

"Wanyan Qiongyu...... Li Huo, you are playing with fire! And if Yao Ruoyu returns, how can he be willing to give up? And Chu Crazy Song behind them, how can they sit idly by and watch the city-state fall into the hands of the Jin State......

Sighing silently, Duan Li's eyes became more and more bitter.
