The 400th round
Each of the ten elders is in charge of different affairs, the eldest elder and the second elder have the power to mobilize the Chu family's janissaries, the six elders are in charge of the Chu family's intelligence system, and the three elders have no decent real power, but in this martial arts competition, he is single-handed, as for the money earned, half of it is saved, and half of it is taken care of various interpersonal relationships, especially the relationship with the six elders.
It was only last night that the Third Elder sent someone to send six thousand six hundred and sixty-six gold, praying that this time the cooperation between him and the Six Elders would be able to achieve six or six great smoothness, and the Six Elders would be able to use half of it to fund the ordinary academy in Syracuse, and half to buy more Divine Blades.
Chu Yun, as the protagonist today, is instructing Wang Shuang, Zhuxin and others at the entrance, instructing these henchmen to pay attention to their own life safety, and once they encounter any danger, they must activate the "amethyst stone" in their hands.
After dealing with these more important things in his mind, Chu Yun slowly came to the lounge.
The other fifteen contestants in the lounge had been waiting for a long time, and Chu Yun was the last to enter the lounge, attracting a lot of attention.
Most of these people knew Chu Yun, except for Zhao Guang and another woman in blue, none of them had a good face towards Chu Yun, this is not to say that Chu Yun's popularity is not good, but these people and Chu Yun are basically hostile relations, whether it is the henchmen of the Great Elder, or those people of the Zhu family, they have long secretly regarded Chu Yun as an enemy, and this face is certainly not too good-looking.
If they can achieve excellent rankings in this martial arts competition, whether they are in a relatively peaceful era or a war year, as long as they are still in this Chu family, they are people, even if they encounter war years, they are also commanders, not commanded soldiers; on the other hand, if they are eliminated here, then according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, they are the commanded soldiers, no matter who comes forward.
Take the two young people who were kicked out of the team by Chu Yun, their current position is the "War Reserve" members, although the salary is more than one grade higher than that of the workers in those factories, but as long as the war breaks out, they are the soldiers who are commanded, just like those "Xuanyuan crossbowmen" who surrounded and suppressed Chu Yun before, and it can even be said that their lives will be frozen, because they have no value to be excavated.
This is a kind of social significance of the Xuanhuang World "Martial Arts Competition".
Zhao Guang saw Chu Yun walk into the lounge, and immediately greeted him, greeting him warmly, and now he directly regarded Chu Yun as a wise and brave Zhiduoxing. Chu Yun's analysis that day has been completely fulfilled in the past few days, and those Zhu family killers really didn't make a move in Snow City.
"Brother Yun, it's okay to rest these days. β
"Well-rested, but what about you, Brother Zhao?"
Zhao Guang heard the meaning of Chu Yun's words, and quickly nodded: "Well rested." β
The two deliberately did not set up a silent enchantment, just to make the killer of the Zhu family lurking in this crowd complacent. The killer of the Zhu family, who was listening quietly beside him, really fell for the plan, mistakenly thinking that their plan had not been seen through by Chu Yun and Zhao Guang, and a strange arc gradually appeared between the corners of his mouth.
At this time, Chu Tianheng preached some old-fashioned things on the sword altar as usual. This time, Chu Tianheng spoke for a long time, and said that one day when I Chu Tianheng is there, this Chu family will not be able to cross, as soon as this sentence is spoken, not to mention that Chu Yun is disgusting to hear, even those spectators who know a little about the upper echelons of the Chu family feel disgusted, they are not here at all to listen to Chu Tianheng's brainwashing here, but to seek excitement here, I wish Chu Tianheng had finished speaking earlier and rolled out of the sword arena.
"Look at him, his eloquence is quite good. Chu Yun put one hand behind his back and said in a flat tone. One thing to say, Chu Tianheng's eloquence is still the best in the audience, at least these words are natural, as if he himself did this, plus he has indeed turned the tide, so there are still many followers. However, people are like this, when there are more and more followers, his behavior becomes more and more unscrupulous, so no matter what Chu Tianheng does, in his personal mind, it is a matter of course.
Zhao Guang, who was standing on the side, smiled coldly: "He is already a dying man, and it is really embarrassing to be a man to this extent, and he wants nothing." β
"At least the family was once glorious, after all, it was also the head of the family. β
"It's also said that in order to compete for this position, he used hard means behind his back, killing a lot of his brothers and sisters, and if he commits many injustices, he will kill himself, and now his son wants to kill him, his woman wants to kill him, and his subordinates want to kill him, and now even the only six elders who are unwilling to turn their faces with him are also disheartened, you must know that the six elders are his only trusted friends. β
"Friend, didn't you hear him call himself lonely, so he felt that he didn't need any friends at all. After saying this, Chu Yun suddenly remembered two people, Sun Quan and Gou Jian, there is no doubt that these two people have no friends, none of them, but at the same time, he thinks of Li Shimin, although Li Shimin once launched the Xuanwu coup, but he is an emperor with friends.
"It's pathetic. β
Zhao Guang had seen through Chu Tianheng's essence ten years ago, so his tone was far more disdainful than Chu Yun's.
After the two talked, Chu Tianheng's personal speech show also ended, and when Chu Tianheng left the Chu family's sword altar, the applause was still very warm, and many people still regarded him as the head of the clan who turned the tide ten years ago.
The beautiful hostess took Chu Tianheng's words, and after saying some touching words, she walked to the center of the sword altar and rang the big bell, and the long and melodious bell echoed between heaven and earth, startling the forest to be light.
This long and melodious bell sounded thrilling to others, but Chu Yun sounded very sad.
Zhao Guang's name was included in the list of the first game, and after bidding farewell to Chu Yun, Zhao Guang strode towards the sword altar, and his opponent was a child of the Zhu family who had come to challenge the majesty of the Chu family.
The battle had several twists and turns, but it ended with Zhao Guang's victory. Just like five days ago, the failed Zhu family did not show too much disappointment, but instead stood up from the ground with a calm expression, patted the dust on his body, and walked away.
Seeing Zhao Guang return to the lounge, Chu Yun immediately stepped forward with his hands in his hand, and said loudly: "That person was defeated by you after taking the forbidden medicine, it is really yours." β
It turned out that when Chu Yun was observing from the audience, he suddenly found that the disciple of the Zhu family who came to challenge had taken a very special forbidden drug, which was difficult to be discovered, and it was hidden from the eyes of the judges on the stage.
"Xiao Niu tried the knife, in fact, I knew from the beginning that he used the forbidden drug, but his foundation is unstable, even if he uses the forbidden drug, he can't play it, the banned drug can only improve his strength and speed, as well as the spirituality, but it can't improve the ability to connect between the sword moves, so I choose to overcome the rigidity with softness, not to face it head-on, and when his medicinal effect gradually disappears, it is the time for me to counterattack. Zhao Guang said with a flat face, he did not feel joy because of such a victory, but felt empty in his heart.
Chu Yun thought for a while, and said: "I see that these Zhu family disciples basically came to the top sixteen after taking banned drugs, and the really capable Zhu family disciples, I guess the upper echelons of the Zhu family will not let them show their heads, these Zhu family disciples who have entered the top 16 are all here to confuse us, and if they want to take it, they must first deal with it, and it is impossible for that old thief of the Zhu family not to even know this truth." β
After finishing speaking, Chu Yun recalled what Wu Chunqiu said that day, especially the ancestor of the Zhu family who was controlling everything behind his back, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
"You're right, I observed the Zhu family disciples who came to the top sixteen before, they don't have real strength at all, it is absolutely impossible to be the arrogance of the Zhu family, from the perspective of the upper echelons of the Zhu family, it is impossible for them to let a real genius take that kind of forbidden drug, I can see that the side effects of that forbidden drug are extremely great, even if we don't do it, as long as we can't get the antidote, they will eventually die, and the larger the dose, the more painful it will be before death. β
Listening to Zhao Guang's words, Chu Yun sighed helplessly: "These young people are really easy to deceive, they are so young and gone." β
"What can happen to the brainwashed people? I think this is also a relief for them, and it is really sad to live in such a sinful family and not a single good person around. β
"I guess they think the same way, no matter how unbearable our Chu family is, there are still three elders and my father Xiang to support the faΓ§ade, that Zhu family from top to bottom, the sin is to the bone, I think, only with endless blood to wake them up. β
"It can't be said that the upper echelons of the Zhu family are well-known for their unity, but it's a pity that this unity is based on sacrificing young people, in order to achieve their goals, they make young people take those inferior pills while making those young people take those inferior pills, in fact, I really pity the young people of their Zhu family, and they have no choice at all. β
"This is the Zhu family's blood mist rule. β
