Early in the morning, in a secluded room.

The captain of the first brigade of the city defense battalion, Gong Rufang, was holding a naked beauty in his arms, dreaming leisurely. After working hard to get to this position, you can finally enjoy the blessings, and the errands will be left to the people below.

A quick knock on the door woke him from his sleep.

"What's the matter, what's the noise early in the morning?" Gong Ru, who was sleeping soundly, was furious, and finally avoided the tigress at home, and slept comfortably with the gentle girl in her arms, but she didn't expect someone to disturb her early in the morning.

"Captain, there is something important to report, please open the door. An eager voice came from outside the door, it was Gong Ru's cronie Erdanzi.

"What's the matter, if it's not a big deal, Lao Tzu will break your legs. Gong Ru said while quickly changing his clothes and opening the door, this kid has always been relatively calm, and he is deeply loved by Gong Rufang, and some daily things are taken care of by this kid. Today, if he dares to disturb his good deeds in such a panic, something big must have happened, and he must come out in person.

Squeak.

The door opened, and the anxious Erdanzi rushed in in a hurry, and when he saw the beautiful woman who was not covered in clothes, he didn't have time to avoid blurting out: "Captain, something happened." Dozens of people died in the south of the city. ”

"What is this, isn't there a lot of dead people there? Besides, now that the event is about to take place, there are some dead and wounded in all the districts, what is it strange? Gong Ruming glared angrily and said impatiently.

The defense of the imperial capital has always been relatively rigorous.

But in the Lanyu Continent, everyone is fond of martial arts and pursues their own strength. It is inevitable that there will be some battles of will, and even a simple competition will kill people if they are not careful.

Especially when the grand event was about to be held, a large number of cultivators from other places poured into the imperial capital, and there were often cultivators who would fight without saying a word to disturb the security and stability of the imperial capital.

The city defense camp is like firefighters fighting fires everywhere, and sometimes they get tired of doing it, so they let those cultivators fight as much as they want, as long as it doesn't affect the overall situation.

According to their thinking, the more they die, the less trouble they will cause, and the easier it will be for them.

"Captain, your brother-in-law is among the dead. Erdanzi held back for a long time, his face turned red, and finally said this explosive news.

"What?" Gong Ruming was like a thunderbolt from the sky, suddenly grabbed Erdanzi's collar, stared at Erdanzi's eyes, gritted his teeth and said word by word, "What do you say, tell me in detail." ”

Erdanzi was so frightened that his face was pale and trembling under the direct gaze of Gong Rufang, he had never seen the boss like this, and he only told the whole thing in half a ring.

It turned out that this morning, they went to the south of the city to patrol as usual, and found many corpses lying in a courtyard. When I stepped forward to investigate, most of them were locals, including my brother-in-law Jin Shun. This Jin Shun often drinks and brags with them, the soldiers of the city defense team, everyone is very familiar with them, and they dare not slack off at the moment and come over to report immediately.

Gong Ruming only felt his head buzzing at this time, this brother-in-law was a single lineage of his father-in-law's family, and he had some cultivation talent, so he could be said to be the treasure of his father-in-law's heart. I originally planned to train in the market for a few years and then find a famous teacher for him to practice well, but I didn't expect an accident in the area under his jurisdiction.

He came from an ordinary background, and it was not easy to sit in this position, he climbed all the way from the bottom, experienced several life and death battles, and finally relied on the relationship between his wife and his mother's family to get to this point.

Although he played with women outside, except for a few cronies, he was always careful for fear of being known by his wife.

For him, the lady is the boss who can't afford to be guilty. Now that his brother-in-law is dead under his nose, how can he explain to the tigress at home.

In the middle of the sound, after calming down, Gong Ru ordered his subordinates to strictly check the surrounding residents, and he himself hurriedly bathed and changed clothes to prepare to see his wife.

Whenever he finishes playing with women, he always destroys all suspicious evidence before going out, which shows his cautious character.

In the south of the city, in a spacious and clean courtyard.

A gorgeously dressed woman was sitting in the courtyard tasting the fragrant tea in her hand, and Gong Ru was waiting carefully as her name suggested.

In the courtyard, the grass is green, the flowers are blooming, and the butterflies are flying, which is quite elegant and pleasant. This is not something that ordinary people can afford in the imperial capital where every inch of land is valuable.

"Bang. ”

A crisp sound sounded, and the teacup on the ground shattered into powder.

"What, my brother is dead. The woman stood up suddenly, slapped Gong Ru's face, and suddenly five finger prints were clearly visible, "You waste, how many times have I told you, tell you to take a good look at my brother, you actually let him die in your land." ”

The woman continued to roar like crazy, without the previous demure and dignified at all, and Gong Ru on the side did not dodge or dodge, letting her vent. From the outside, the two looked like angry masters and erring house slaves.

The woman's is indeed Jin Chuyue, the wife of the main house that Gong Rufang is marrying, and it is with the help of her mother's family that Gong Rufang can sit in the position of the captain of the first brigade of the city defense battalion, coupled with Jin Chuyue's pampered and commanding temperament that she has cultivated since she was a child, which makes Jin Chuyue more arrogant and domineering at home, and does not treat her husband as a person.

This is also because there is a tigress at home, and she can't raise her head in front of her wife, so she looks for flowers and willows outside to find warmth. Otherwise, with his experience of working hard from the bottom, he would never play the world like those dumb children.

"Madam, I have sent someone to investigate it strictly, and I believe that clues will come soon. Gong Ruming touched the blood stains on the corner of his mouth and bowed down and said, without a trace of displeasure on his face.

This is his strength, the depth of his scheming is beyond the comparison of ordinary people. On the surface, he was respectful and respectful, but in his heart, he had already hated Jin Chuyue, but he was forced by the situation to endure it.

Time flies, a month later.

The event finally kicked off, and the imperial capital was crowded, and the registration points everywhere were even more crowded, and there were already long queues.

Everyone is either excited, nervous or expectant, after all, this is a once-in-a-century event, and it is favored by the sect, that is, the carp jumping over the dragon gate will be different from now on.

Xiao Yi and the three of them were also waiting in line at a registration point in the north of the city, since the battle of "Guest Death", they knew more about the dangers of the rivers and lakes, and carefully avoided for a month before blending into the crowd to prepare to sign up.

"Do you look at that kid?"

"Whatever, I'd rather make a mistake than leak it, and inform the captain quickly. ”

Two soldiers in armor watched Xiao Yi and the three of them pointing and talking in a low voice from a distance.

After careful inquiry, Gong Ruming already knew that Liang Changqing and the three of them finally entered the "guest death place" with two men and one woman. After identification, they finally figured out the physical appearance of the three people, and sent them to the soldiers of the first brigade of each city defense battalion to ask them to inquire carefully.

But after a month of investigation, there has been no news. Jin Chuyue was often angry at home, and Gong Rufang was naturally under a lot of pressure, ordering his subordinates to cancel all vacations and inquire about all corners of the city throughout the day. Finally, after the three of them came out to sign up, they were discovered by two creeps.

Xiao Yi had long noticed that someone was watching from the sidelines, but thinking that the imperial capital was dignified, in broad daylight, he didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary, so he didn't pay attention to it.

The line slowly moved forward, one by one the registrants were waiting eagerly, and occasionally a few dejected registrants came out of the line.

"You're over eighteen years old and don't qualify. ”

"You don't have a referral token and are not eligible. ”

......

A cold voice sounded from the registration point, conveying dream-breaking news.

For this event, there are two prerequisites: the first is that you must not be more than eighteen years old. After all, the four major sects are also to screen potential young people in the Lanyu Continent for key training, and it is natural that the potential is too old to do it;Second, you must hold a recommendation token, that is, you must be a native resident of the Lanyu Continent, and in the past history, some demons often pretended to be humans and infiltrated the major forces of the human race to spy on intelligence and learn martial arts and combat skills.

These two prerequisites have been set for a long time and many people know about them, but there are always some people who come and try it out with a fluke mentality.

"Get out of here, who's over age, you don't see who I am, just chirp here. I am a direct descendant of the Zhou family, my ancestor and you Elder Tang are friends in life and death, and my father and you Elder Xu are sworn brothers. A stout man yelled angrily because he was brushed off because he was not qualified.

Bang.

As soon as Dahan's voice fell, he was blown away 100 meters away, and blood was splattered on the spot.

I saw that the people in the know next to him were talking.

"This is the fifth one today. Hmph, it won't work if you want to use other connections to infiltrate the sect. This is an open and fair platform prepared by the four major sects for our common people's children, and they will not be allowed to do anything wrong. ”

A dark-skinned teenager exclaimed.

A white-clothed young man walked out from behind the swarthy young man, shook a folding fan, and said slowly: "It's not specifically for me and other civilian children, all the outstanding talents of the Lanyu Continent, whether they are from big families or have no background foundation, as long as they are genius enough, the four major sects will recruit the best." ”

"On the contrary, if you don't have real materials, the four major sects will not be recruited and wasted resources and places. This is the consistent purpose of the four major sects, and it is also the root of their strength. Open, fair and just recruiting disciples to ensure that the disciples are full of talents and sufficient reserve forces, it is no wonder that the four major sects have always stood at the peak of the Lanyu Continent and have not fallen. ”

The words of the young man in white made many people around him nod their heads, and at the same time, they also applauded the four major sects.

"Yes, although this Zhou family is also a powerful family in the Lanyu Continent, and it is even more friendly with the elders, it is still rejected. ”

"Hmph, what is this, there are still a lot of rejections from the eight major families, as long as you don't meet the conditions, it's useless to come from anywhere. ”

"Wuji Sect is worthy of being the top force in the Lanyu Continent, it's no wonder that it is not strong with such an enlightened purpose. ”
