Chapter 12—The Emperor's Reward

"Lord Liu Xun seems to be a little lacking in qi, I don't know if it's "At this moment, all the Jiangnan heroes and spectators who came to participate in this auction have already sat down in their positions step by step. A heroic man sitting next to Feng Baiyi, Xia Qing and Lu Xing, who was wearing a coat, his hair was scattered, and his eyes were wandering, whispered to Lu Xing beside him. He spoke naturally, and nothing worried about it came out.

Hearing this, Lu Xing's face was more nervous, and he responded like a supporter. His expression looked a little unnatural, and he was naturally worried about Liu Xun's body. I am afraid that Liu Xun will be overjoyed and forget the business.

Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, who were sitting on the side, secretly listened to the content of Lu Xing's conversation, and the faces of the two of them invariably showed an elusive look. Specifically, what the two of them were thinking could not be seen through. Lu Xing quietly glanced at Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi, seeing that the two of them were not at all interested in what they were saying. However, the eyes of the two of them scanned the exhibition hall intentionally or unintentionally. Lu Xing looked at Xia Qing and the two of them, seeing that they didn't care about themselves. He could only helplessly ignore the man beside him.

Liu Xun obviously didn't know that these people were secretly thinking about completely different things. He still conducted the auction according to the content he set. Liu Xun knew how attractive His Majesty's reward was this time, and he wanted to let ** appear at the beginning, so that his plan could be implemented step by step.

"Please wait, now I will show you the rewards given by His Majesty the Emperor to the champion, Bangyan and Tanhua in this Jiangnan Martial Arts Competition. Please take a closer look. Liu Xun beckoned to the seven or eight Ouchi guards standing together, and the Ouchi guards dodged to both sides in understanding. Show the three bronze shelves in the middle to the people who are now appearing on the eighth floor of the Yunsheng Juxian Tower.

"Wow, this" The moment the Ouchi guards flashed away, everyone's eyes were shocked by the things on display on the three bronzes. Even those who had been looking away and didn't pay much attention to the situation in the venue also cast extremely appreciative and vain pursuit of their gazes.

"I solemnly announce to you that these three items that can be said to be very precious in the treasury brought by this auction were personally entrusted by our Emperor Majesty and personally handed over the list to me. It can be seen that His Majesty attaches great importance to this Jiangnan martial arts competition. Now, let me introduce these three collections entrusted by His Majesty himself. Liu Xun smiled and waved to all the people watching there in front of him. At the same time, Liu Xun's body also appeared next to the three collections, and he cleared his throat and prepared to introduce it to the person in front of him.

Except for Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, everyone else set their eyes on Liu Xun and the collections around him. Although many people had guessed in advance that His Majesty the Emperor's reward this time must be very rich. But when they actually saw it, there was still a look of envy on their faces.

Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi were not attracted by Liu Xun's voice. As far as they are concerned, they do not have the right to participate in this Jiangnan martial arts competition. Even if they saw His Majesty the Emperor's rich reward, Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi would not care too much. Their first goal is to find the trace of their enemy Zhang Xu.

The reason why Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi were looking here was that in Lu Xing, it seemed that they had noticed the people around them, for fear that these people and them would rob His Majesty the Emperor of the three rewards. Although Lu Xing was very reluctant, he thought of the "Yu Wangye" token held by Xia Qing. Lu Xing suddenly became angry, he turned his head a little helplessly, and whispered to Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi: "Don't worry, with your strength, no one here will be your opponent." It's strange, as far as I know, there should be seven owners of instrument souls other than you in this Jiangnan martial arts competition. But it seems that there is not a single figure to be seen here now, is it possible that they are not interested in the three rewards?"

"Ah" Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi originally listened to Lu Xing's words, and they were a little surprised. But when the two of them heard what Lu Xing said, their faces suddenly changed!

In the center of the exhibition hall, Liu Xun held a purple glass chandelier and tirelessly introduced it. Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi took a closer look, and there were only seven internal guards guarding Liu Xun's side. The number of Ouchi guards around is actually not much, only three. It stands to reason that if Liu Xun came here in person, all the Ouchi guards should follow. It won't be like now, and only ten of the forty people follow Liu Xun to protect him. Such an abnormal situation made Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi suddenly understand.

"It's not good" Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi realized the seriousness of the situation, if there was anything else worth Liu Xun to do with the thirty internal guards. It must have been Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi, who had heard the news that some of them had gone to the sixteenth floor to appreciate the auction on the way back to the third floor.

Liu Xun himself is on the eighth floor, and it stands to reason that Yunsheng Juxian Mansion is actually mixed. There are even many feudal guests who have lived here for a long time. It is impossible for Liu Xun to take such an action without bringing all the internal guards to protect himself. This is also not in line with his timid character.

Originally, Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi did not understand Liu Xun's motive for such behavior, although this did not conform to his usual style. However, Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi also couldn't tell what was going on. However, when the two of them heard what Lu Xing said inadvertently, the two of them finally understood why Liu Xun would behave like this. If it is really as Lu Xing said, there is not a single soul owner among the Jiangnan heroes who appeared on the eighth layer. Then, Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi thought of a terrible reason.

"Senior brother, does Liu Xun really want to kill them" Xia Qing couldn't believe such a fact they had guessed. The expression on her face changed slightly, and she asked Feng Baiyi beside her in disbelief.

Feng Baiyi shook his head and nodded again. In fact, he couldn't be sure if it was true or not. So he was still in a steady position, waved his hand to Xia Qing, and the two of them continued to see Liu Xun's current movements and his strange reactions. And naturally, the eyes of Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi fell on Liu Xun, who was still tirelessly introducing the three rewards of His Majesty the Emperor at this time.

Liu Xun smiled, and his hand holding the purple glass chandelier had been put down. Instead, he picked up a broken scroll that was placed on the right hand side of the chandelier. Xia Qing took a closer look and found that this broken scroll seemed to be made of sheepskin, and it looked a little old.

Liu Xun's eyes were like electricity, sweeping over everyone in the venue, paying great attention to everyone's changes. At the same time, his voice did not stop, "This broken scroll was found by our Qi State from a member of the Feng War Society when it was at war with the Feng State. As for the usefulness, the Inspector Sun had told His Majesty about his speculation. Perhaps the strange words hidden in this broken scroll may be able to reveal the reason for the strength of the Sealing Battle Society. And Master Sun apologized for pleading, saying that he had no way to solve it. His Majesty brought me as a reward to the winner of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Competition this time, which also represents his trust in the owner of this reward. He has promised who will be able to unlock the secrets of this scroll. His Majesty will crown him a hereditary prince for generations. Liu Xun gasped softly. After talking for such a long time, he was indeed quite tired.

However, Liu Xun's words obviously caused a strong fluctuation in the hearts of everyone present. What is this concept? It means that you and your descendants will be able to live a lifetime without any labor or work. Who doesn't yearn for this kind of life? This kind of life is more inspiring than winning the top three in the Jiangnan martial arts competition. Such a reward is indeed too great. Everyone's eyes were straight. Of course, except for Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi.

Now, the attention of Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi was completely focused on Liu Xun, who was there to give a long explanation. Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi's faces were a little nervous, looking at Liu Xun and the dozen or so internal guards around him, carefully observing the subtle changes in their faces. Trying to find some clues through their observations.

"Then, this broken scroll should be kept here for the time being, and when the Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference is over, I will hand it over to one of the champions, Bangyan, and Tanhua, and I hope they will not disappoint His Majesty the Emperor! Liu Xun's voice was meaningful, and his eyes swept over everyone in the exhibition hall with some sharpness.

"May I ask Lord Liu Xun, is there any mysterious secret hidden in this broken scroll?" As soon as Liu Xun's words fell, the voice of a foreigner wearing deerskin and brown hair came from the corner of the exhibition hall. He spoke there in a stiff Middle-earth dialect, and it was his words that made the people around him realize that this middle-aged man in deerskin was a member of the Yue tribe, the northernmost people living on the Demon Spirit Continent.

Originally, in addition to the Yue people in the territory of Qi State, there was also a Ming tribe who lived in seclusion in the mountains, and the Ming people were strongly rejected because of their different appearance from ordinary people of Qi State. It's just that when His Majesty the last Emperor of Qi was in power, there was news that the Ming Clan secretly helped seal the War Society, and His Majesty the Emperor immediately sent a large army to exterminate the Ming Clan, and brutally slaughtered all the people of the Yue Clan. And after that catastrophe, only the subservient Yue people remained in the entire Qi country.

Liu Xun's eyes fell on the corner of the exhibition hall, and he also saw this Yue man wearing a deerskin. Because the Yue people are subordinate to the Qi State, Liu Xun's attitude towards him is relatively friendly, and there is no consistent arrogance in his tone.

"I don't know, this Yue friend wants to know these things, and then what does he want to do?" Liu Xun turned around and said in a very friendly tone.

The Yue people stood up, bowed their hands respectfully to Liu Xun, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it, Lord Liu Xun, our Yue people have surrendered to the Qi State. Then, we naturally have to do what we can for the Qi country. For this reason, the leaders of the Yue nationality specially sent me to Yunsheng Juxian Tower to observe this grand Jiangnan martial arts competition. Let me introduce myself, my name is Mocha. The Yue man put his right hand on his chest and made a friendly gesture of their people.

Hearing the name "Mocha", Liu Xun's eyes suddenly lit up slightly. He took a step forward and asked, "What is your relationship with the leader of the Yue tribe, Morun?"

As soon as Liu Xun's words came out, he was shocked, especially Mocha's face continued to change subtly. After half a sound, he said in a deep voice: "I can't hide it, Lord Liu Xun, Mo Lun is my eldest brother and the leader of our Yue clan. ”

"Well, to tell you the truth, were you kicked out because of the failure to seize power, or did you escape after being imprisoned by Morun?" Liu Xun's expression did not change when he said this, but his words were secretly murderous.

Mocha's face changed slightly. Looking at Liu Xun's aggressive gaze, Mocha realized that he couldn't rely on his temperament now. So he hurriedly arched his hand and replied respectfully: "Lord Liu Xun, this is also the thing I hate the most!"
