In the next few days, Mei Changsu didn't go to see it again, and he recuperated in Xuelu under the pretext of illness. Fortunately, after the last time the prince and King Yu came to tempt, they all felt that he was a person who was difficult to subdue with grace, and before they thought of a new method of wooing, they didn't come to entangle and harass. He reads books and tunes the piano every day, recuperates wholeheartedly, and his complexion is indeed much better.

Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin have to fight every day because they have signed up, so naturally they can't accompany Brother Su, but Xie Bi is very idle, and he will take a period of time to come over every day to chat, and all the topics in Shannan and Haibei have been discussed, but they don't mention King Yu.

However, every time after dusk, Xuelu will be lively, Yan Yujin alone is worth ten noises, and he will tell Mei Changsu about this day's event like a story, especially when describing the competition between him and Xiao Jingrui, it is even more beautiful, foaming at the mouth, as if it is all about earth-shattering ghosts and gods, enough to change the peak battle of the general trend of martial arts, I am afraid that it is more exciting than watching it on the spot.

"Don't you blush when you hear that?" Xie Bi often touched his eldest brother's arm on the side and complained, "Is this what Yujin said about you?" How do I hear it like Erlang God descended to earth, and I almost tied a whistling dog next to me. ”

Xiao Jingrui usually smiled bitterly, but he would never stop Yan Yujin from sweeping his interest.

Instead, he sat on the sidelines and watched the flying stream in the sky coldly, and from time to time a sentence would come out: "Impossible!" ”

Yan Yujin thought about it for a long time before he understood the meaning of Feiliu. After that, when he described the specific moves, he didn't dare to exaggerate them indiscriminately.

However, although he is a little boastful, in terms of strength, he and Xiao Jingrui are undoubtedly first-class. The first few rounds of the tournament were uneventful, and the last two days have ended in victory, despite occasional thrills.

The emperor would appear on time every day on the Yingfeng Tower to show his attention, although everyone knew that he would leave after watching one or two shows at most, he still felt very honored. Most of the young people who came to participate in the competition were not really just going to marry the Nihuang County Lord, after all, there was only one place, and it was too difficult. More people regard this conference as a platform for display, hoping to earn some achievements and reputation, improve the status of the rivers and lakes, or gain the favor of high-ranking people and be able to advance to the official career.

In this way, everything is still in order, this recruitment conference is moving forward lively, as expected, attracting the attention of the world, every day someone is out of the game, and there are also rookies who become famous, compared with the result of wealth, fame and power that it represents, this whole process is not not exciting enough, at most it is not unexpected enough.

But the accident is long overdue, but it will happen.

On the evening of the seventh day after the start of the competition, when Mei Changsu saw the solemn expressions of Yan Yujin and Xiao Jingrui who rushed into the snow house, he realized that something surprising must have happened.

"Brother Su! Brother Su! "The person who shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door was, of course, Yan Yujin. Because of the running, the sides of his cheeks were a little red, and there was a slight hot sweat on his forehead, so he rushed over and dragged him over the bamboo chair to sit, and said anxiously before he could breathe: "Oh no, something is wrong!" ”

"What's wrong?" Mei Changsu put down the scroll in his hand and sat up straight, "Did you lose with Jing Rui?" ”

"What's the matter if we lose or not? But today Shang-Chi lost! ”

"Qin Shangzhi?" Mei Changsu raised his eyebrows disappreciably, "Although he is also a master of the younger generation, he is not yet at the peak of his achievement, so it's not unusual to lose, right?" ”

Xiao Jingrui also sat down next to him at this time, and said with a very serious expression: "It's not unusual for him to lose, but he lost in one move!" ”

Mei Changsu couldn't help but be taken aback, "How is it possible?" Even if his opponent is the commander of Montene, he can't defeat him with just one move, right? ”

"That's why I said something big!" Yan Yujin paused.

"Could it be that it wasn't the Great Liang people who defeated him?"

"If it's Daliang, we won't be in such a hurry. That's a Beiyan person, the name is quite strange, called Bailiqi, the first few rounds of pretending to play hard, seeing that tomorrow is the decisive battle, but today he suddenly became powerful, it seems that he not only wants to win, but also to shock the remaining opponents by the way. ”

Mei Changsu frowned: "In addition to Tuoba Hao, there are such characters in Beiyan?" ”

"This person is a hard worker, his image is rough, and his muscles are like iron. Shang Zhi underestimated that he was a barbarian, and he was inevitably a little big, but as a result, when he attacked him, the other party did not dodge and took it hard, and then took advantage of his lack of momentum, and picked off his shoulder with one palm, making his arm unable to move, so he had to admit defeat. Although Xiao Jingrui was also in a hurry, his emotions were not so exposed, he only kept a calm face, and his tone was relatively stable, "Although he was a little wronged in defeat, it was not false that Bailiqi's strength was superb. If you meet someone with a solid foundation and deep internal strength like Commander Mengda, you may not be able to bargain for anything, but ......"

At this point, he paused as if he couldn't bear to say anything, but Mei Changsu already knew what he meant next.

After all, the Nihuang County Lord is a woman's body, martial arts is based on skills, supplemented by skills, and dealing with this kind of hard skills is the most disadvantaged, if you accidentally miss it, it will really be a big deal.

"Don't panic yet," Xie Bi, who was originally in the snow house, interjected, "According to the competition system, it may not be a dead end. Even if that Bailiqi breaks into the top ten, the decision of the literary test is still in the hands of the emperor. At that time, it will be enough to exclude one at the end. ”

Mei Changsu's eyes condensed slightly, and he shook his head and said, "But in this way, the will of the Nihuang County Lord will not be guaranteed." Originally, she didn't like it, as long as she tried her best to defeat that person, if there was no one among the ten people she liked, it was okay not to marry. But now there is such a master who is difficult to win and absolutely unwilling to marry, even if he is at the bottom, he is also a threat. In order to avoid the possible defeat of the final battle with him, the county lord had to pick one of the top nine to become his husband. I'm afraid that for a person as arrogant as her, it is really humiliating to be forced to face such a situation. ”

"Tomorrow's finals, the ten shortlisted candidates will be finalized, and Brother Su will also come and see it, okay?" Xiao Jingrui approached Mei Changsu's side and said in a low voice, "Your knowledge of martial arts is far better than ours, maybe you can judge how dangerous that Bailiqi is, and how to deal with him......"

"Do you and Yujin want to compete with this person?"

"No," Xiao Jingrui shook his head in denial, "Yujin and I are not in a group with him, and we will not meet him tomorrow regardless of victory or defeat." It's just that if he wins tomorrow, he will definitely be shortlisted. I hope that Brother Su can observe him more and give some useful advice to the Nihuang County Lord. ”

"Yes, yes," Yan Yujin echoed, "Jing Rui may not be better than my martial arts, but after receiving Brother Su's guidance along the way, he actually ran in front of me." ”

Mei Changsu smiled faintly and said, "The county lord has become one of the super-first-class masters, and there are only a few suggestions I can make after all." She is different from Jing Rui, Jing Rui's martial arts are not as good as others, and the upside is originally larger. ”

"Brother Su," Xiao Jingrui said with a bitter face, "Would you like to be more tactful?" It's really devastating......"

"But it's too dangerous to let the county lord directly face a strange master after only one game tomorrow." Mei Changsu frowned slightly, and said. "We have to think of another way, and add one more barrier in the middle."

"Is there anything Brother Su can do?" Yan Yujin asked anxiously.

"Before tomorrow's decisive battle, the emperor will order an additional two-day challenge day."

"Challenge Day?"

"Yes. The reason is to avoid unfair schedules due to grouping. Tomorrow's final ten winners are the challenged, and all the losers of the previous days can challenge a winner who is not in this group at will, and if they win the battle, they can be replaced as the new challenged. After the two-day battle, the last ten people left behind are the ones who can really enter the literary examination. Those who dare to challenge the winner are not idle, even if they can't defeat Bailiqi, at least they can give the county lord more experience. ”

The three noble sons nodded frequently, and Yan Yujin praised: "What a good idea!" ”

"But if you want to enter the palace overnight, please ask the emperor to give an order immediately." Mei Changsu reminded casually.

"This is a small matter, I'll enter the palace right away!" Yan Yujin rushed to say without thinking about it.

"No, no, no!" Xie Bi hurriedly stopped him, although he was a little embarrassed, but finally blushed and pleaded, "Let His Royal Highness King Yu go down and ask for an order, okay?" ”

None of the people present were stupid people, and they knew what he was thinking when they heard it, so they all glanced at him and didn't speak.

The emperor has probably also received a report about Bailiqi now, and he should also be anxious, and to make this suggestion in front of him at this time will of course win the dragon's heart. The county lord also has a natural favor, and many losers get a new opportunity, and they are naturally even more happy, even the ten winners, for the sake of face, will not strongly oppose it, and show weakness in vain. So no matter how you look at it, this is a good thing, no wonder Xie Bi is cheeky and wants to fight for King Yu.

"Since Xie Bi wants to run this leg, let's go." After a while, Mei Changsu Fang responded lightly.

Xie Bi was overjoyed, and after saying "thank you" a few times, he didn't delay at all, and quickly got up and left.

As he walked, there was a strange silence in the room. Mei Changsu leaned his head back on the warm pillow and closed his eyes to recuperate; Xiao Jingrui didn't like to mess with these in the first place, let alone his younger brother, so he had to keep silent; Although Yan Yujin has no faction and no difference, because of the relationship between Queen Yan, after all, he is involved with King Yu, so it is not good to comment more. There was a moment of silence.

After a long while, Yan Yujin was impatient to sit like this, and remembered a question again, and said: "It's not strange for you to say that it is strange, just with the hand that Bai Liqi showed yesterday, how can he be squeezed into the top ten in the world, why is there no shadow of him on the Langya list at all?" ”

"You don't know that, do you? is still pretending to be a Jianghu person," without waiting for Mei Changsu to speak, Xiao Jingrui said first, "The Langya master list shows at the beginning that it is ranked according to the achievements of all the masters, those hermits who have never shown their faces on the rivers and lakes, even if their martial arts have become a transformation realm, as long as he does not use it, Langya Pavilion will not consider it." Of course, sometimes this ranking can be amazing, but that's just because the news of Langya Pavilion has always been the most thoughtful and sensitive, and it can hear the results of many secretly and unknown competitions, so it is just a little different from the general perception. This Bailiqi is now in the limelight, and he will definitely be able to climb the master list next year. ”

"Cut, didn't you just learn more from Brother Su? Just teach me a lesson," Yan Yujin puffed out his cheeks unconvinced, "I'll move to Xuelu tomorrow!" ”

Xiao Jingrui smiled: "You are more noisy than a thousand crows, even if Brother Su can stand it, Feiliu will not ......"

Before the voice fell, a cold sentence suddenly came from the treetops overhead: "Feiliu refuses!" Yan Yujin was startled, and hurriedly leaned towards Mei Changsu's side.

"Flystream is back." A smile appeared on Mei Changsu's face, and as soon as he raised his hand, the figure of Feiliu flashed, and he had already snuggled up.

"Is it fun outside?"

"It's not fun!"

"Doesn't Feiliu like Brother Yujin moving in?"

"I don't like it!"

"Why?"

"It's like that!"

Yan Yujin flashed his eyes curiously: "What is it like?" ”

Mei Changsu laughed and said, "He said that you feel very much like our Jiangzuo's Lin Chen. That's the person Feiliu can't stand the most. As he spoke, he turned around and teased the boy, "Why do you say they are very similar?" Brother Yujin has never teased you, right? ”

Feiliu glared at his uncle and son coldly, and his voice was as if he had frozen: "He wants to tease in his heart!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey," Yan Yujin hurriedly shook his hands and said, "A gentleman is not punished, it's easy to kill a good person by mistake......"

"Yes," Mei Changsu gasped with a smile, "Feiliu don't pay attention to him, there are snacks left for you in the house, they are all your favorite food, go eat them." ”

Feiliu: "Hmm! With a sigh, he glared at Yan Yujin again, and disappeared in a flash.

Xiao Jingrui looked at his friend's face, laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist, and it took a while to slowly stop laughing and pat him on the shoulder to show comfort.

"It's rare for you to have a chance to laugh at me, so let you laugh heartily," Yan Yujin made a generous gesture, waved his hand, and turned to Mei Changsu, "Then will Brother Su go tomorrow?" ”

"Since it's so lively, of course I have to go." Mei Changsu smiled softly at him, "But the idea of this challenge has caused trouble for the two of you, I'm sorry." ”

"That's good! Everybody is doing what they do. Yan Yujin laughed heartily, "It's not comfortable to be taken care of." ”

Xiao Jingrui was stunned: "What is being taken care of?" ”

Yan Yujin glanced at him: "It's dull like this, and you still have a face to laugh at me." ”

"Jing Rui," Mei Changsu patted the back of his hand and whispered, "This is a son-in-law, not a school selection, a young man like you two with good appearance, good character and good family background, the imperial court naturally has to take care of it." Don't you think everyone in your group is particularly weak? ”

"Huh?" Xiao Jingrui has never liked to think too much because of his peaceful nature, but he really didn't notice this, and he was stunned for a while.

"You thought you were pretty good, didn't you?" Yan Yujin took the opportunity to say in his ear, "Whether it's in the rivers and lakes or in the capital, if you want to say that you don't have the light of your identity, who can believe it?" ”

"Yujin!" Mei Changsu smiled and frowned, "How can there be a good friend like you?" Do you have to say that Jing Rui is unhappy? ”

"Brother Su, don't spoil him too much," Yan Yujin shook his head, "There are some things that still need to be seen clearly by him, Jing Rui is just too honest, this is not good." You have to learn from me, although you are at ease, but you can't be confused about what you have to understand. ”

Mei Changsu's eyes suddenly turned dark, and he sighed softly: "You are indeed a really frank and free person, if only Jing Rui could be like you......"

Xiao Jingrui looked at this, then at that, couldn't help but block his palm in the middle, and said dissatisfiedly: "Stop!" Stop! What the hell are you talking about? I'm not stupid, and even if I'm naïve, I'm not even as good as this heartless person, right? ”

Mei Changsu said: "You are naturally very good, and I hope to get along with you like this all the time." But you are too emotional, and you will inevitably be burdened by this in the future, so we just have to worry about you in advance. ”

Xiao Jingrui couldn't help but feel hot when he saw what he said, and immediately said: "Brother Su, rest assured, where will there be less tempering in life?" No matter how weak I am, I won't collapse as soon as I encounter something, so that my family and friends will worry about me......" After speaking, his voice suddenly changed, and he swept Yan Yujin with the corner of his eyes and said: "As for you, you will be exempted, what is the deep pretense of Brother Su?" ”

"Hey," Yan Yujin crossed his hands on his hips, "Brother Su is worried about you, you are so moved, I am worried about you, but you roll your eyes at me, this difference is too big, right?" ”

"Let your pampered guy worry about me," Xiao Jingrui continued to squint at him, "Then what face do I have?" Flash me a little farther away. ”

"Dare to look down on me, let's fight first!" Yan Yujin rolled up his sleeves and pounced, the two of them didn't move, they twisted together like naughty boys, and even the flying streams in the room were shocked and stuck out their heads to look.

And Mei Changsu, who looked at them with a light smile, had an expression in the depths of his eyes that was a little elusive.
