Chapter 266: Evil Spirits
At night, Gongsun Mansion.
Luxurious and atmospheric interior.
Gongsun Qiong sat on the main seat, one hand on the table, stretched out his fingers and tapped gently.
'Da~'
'Da~'
'Fat~'
Zhao Xiaodao and Chu Hongyuan stood aside, quietly watching Gongsun Qiong tapping his fingers.
Long.
Zhao Xiaodao finally couldn't help it and asked, "President, what are you doing here?"
Gongsun Qiong knocked on the table with great interest, and said in a somewhat excited tone: "Don't you see a difference?"
Zhao Xiaodao and Chu Hongyuan glanced at each other and shook their heads.
Gongsun Qiong stopped banging on the table and said, "I'm making it happy." ”
Now the two of them were even more at a loss.
Gongsun Qiong glanced at the two of them, and knew that they couldn't understand what they meant, so they didn't explain at the moment, withdrew their hands, and asked seriously: "Is there anything abnormal on the Chamber of Commerce recently." ”
When Chu Hongyuan heard this, he hurriedly replied: "In the two months since you left, the Chamber of Commerce has been operating normally, but according to the news from the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, King Chu Heng issued an order to invite you to this year's state banquet a month ago. The Fourth and Thirteenth Princes also came to Watanabe Town to look for you, and you also saw it outside the Magical Bookstore just now. ”
After hearing this, Gongsun Qiong did not dwell on the fourth prince and the thirteenth prince, but continued to ask, "What about the trading market?"
Chu Hongyuan replied: "Due to the upcoming state banquet, the population of Watanabe Town has plummeted since last month, according to statistics, there are only less than 500,000 people. However, exclusive numbers, elves and peripheral goods in the market are on the rise. ”
Gongsun Qiong nodded, thought for a moment, and asked, "How are the preparations for the Pokemon Tournament?"
Chu Hongyuan continued to answer: "The venue has been established, and on the wasteland twenty miles north of Dewabian Town, all preparations have been prepared, and the number of people who have signed up for this Pokemon Championship has also reached two thousand three hundred, which greatly exceeds the previous expectations. ”
Although the state banquet affected some cultivators to leave Watanabe Town, the Pokemon Tournament was not affected in the slightest, but most of the cultivators who had Pokemon had signed up for this Pokemon Tournament, after all, the rewards of this tournament were too tempting for them.
Who doesn't want the books rewarded by the Wonder Bookstore, or in yellow quality?
Although the state banquet is good, free to eat, drink and have fun, but after all, they can't increase their cultivation, they can't get martial arts, and they can't get spiritual weapons, and for them cultivators, the attraction is far less than that of the Pokemon Tournament.
"However, everyone has some objections about the start time of Pokemon Concourse, and everyone hopes that we can set the time as soon as possible. Chu Hongyuan said again.
When Gongsun Qiong heard this, she pondered for a moment and said, "It's set on the twenty-fifth of this month." ”
The Pokemon Championship has been advertised outside, but no specific time has been given, and now the approximate time of the game released by the MassMutual trading market is getting closer and closer, and everyone naturally hopes to hear an accurate time of the game.
"Twenty-five?" Chu Hongyuan said hesitantly.
Seeing this, Gongsun Qiong asked, "Is there any problem?"
"This year's state banquet ceremony was also held on the 25th. Chu Hongyuan whispered.
As early as when the state banquet was established, the state of Chu explicitly forbade any activities to be held in the state during the state banquet, and even the top forces such as Zhenguan Academy advanced the entrance examination for new students every year because of the state banquet, which is enough to prove that King Chu Heng attaches great importance to the state banquet.
At present, the Magic Bookstore and the Vantone Trading Market not only hold the Pokemon Tournament during the state banquet, but also put the opening day on the same day as the opening ceremony of the state banquet! Once this practice spreads, it will inevitably make everyone think that this is the Magical Bookstore and the Vantone Trading Market challenging the majesty of King Chu Heng.
Gongsun Qiong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about that, let's just run the game." ”
Since Gongsun Qiong said so, Chu Hongyuan naturally couldn't say anything, so he could only nod and agree.
"When the time comes, you will discuss the specific matters with Xiaodao, this competition will be presided over by her, and you will come back to protect my safety after the handover. Gongsun Qiong continued.
When Zhao Xiaodao heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "The president is worried that someone will assassinate you?"
Gongsun Qiong nodded and said: "Take precautions, this time the movement is too big, the epic quality books have made me fully comprehend, and the outside world must now be guessing what I have gained from it; ”
The last time Gongsun Qiong was assassinated by the Remnant Organization, it left a big shadow on her.
When Zhao Xiaodao heard Gongsun Qiong mention the last incident, he immediately showed a look of apprehension on his face.
"But President, what did you gain from that Analects?" Chu Hongyuan couldn't help but be curious and asked.
Zhao Xiaodao on the side also showed an expectant look.
Seeing this, Gongsun Qiong couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and was about to speak, when he suddenly frowned, his eyes were fixed on the door, and his face showed an incredible expression.
Chu Hongyuan and Zhao Xiaodao looked at it, turned their heads to look out of the door with puzzled expressions, and found that it was empty outside, and there was nothing unusual.
However, Chu Hongyuan seemed to feel some differences, his brows furrowed slightly, and he subconsciously approached Gongsun Qiong.
"Knife, come here. Gongsun Qiong said coldly.
Zhao Xiaodao was still in the fog at this time, seeing Gongsun Qiong's serious face, he was also nervous at the moment, and trotted all the way to the left side of Gongsun Qiong, and a spirit sword in his hand appeared silently in his hand.
"President, do you feel that something is wrong?" Chu Hongyuan stood on the right side of Gongsun Qiong, looked at the empty hall, and said in a deep voice.
Gongsun Qiong nodded, did not answer Chu Hongyuan's words, but stared at the door tightly, and said, "Who are you?"
Chu Hongyuan and Zhao Xiaodao on the left and right looked puzzled, not knowing who Gongsun Qiong was talking to.
"Whew~"
A gust of wind blew, and all the lights in the hall were blown out.
"Whew~"
Another gust of yin wind rushed straight to Gongsun Qiong, and Zhao Xiaodao on the side stepped forward without thinking about it, stabbed forward with a horizontal sword in front of his chest.
There was no one or anything in front of him, and Zhao Xiaodao's sword stabbed into the air.
"Bang~"
Suddenly, Zhao Xiaodao felt that he had received a powerful impact, and the whole person flew out directly, smashing heavily into a pillar.
"Be careful, president!" Chu Hongyuan's entire body was scattered with spiritual power, forming a spiritual wall with powerful spiritual power, and pushing it directly towards the door.
"Bang!"
The powerful spiritual power slammed into the door, touching the high-level formation, and this blow was defused by the formation, otherwise the entire house would have collapsed with this blow alone.
Gongsun Qiong has been frowning at all this from behind, with some doubts in her eyes.
"Woo Woo Woo ~ "
Chu Hongyuan held the spirit sword in his hand and began to attack indiscriminately, and every corner of the entire hall was covered by his sword qi.
"Hongyuan, stop. Gongsun Qiong said.
Chu Hongyuan stopped attacking and retreated to Gongsun Qiong's side, his face was a little anxious, and he said, "President, I can't see him!"
Gongsun Qiong nodded and said, "Give me the sword." ”
Chu Hongyuan was stunned.
Gongsun Qiong got up and spread her palms upward.
Chu Hongyuan subconsciously handed the seventh-order spirit sword in his hand to Gongsun Qiong.
Gongsun Qiong held the spirit sword in his hand, and because there was no spiritual energy blessing, the sword on the spirit sword disappeared in an instant, turning into an ordinary spirit sword
"Da, da, da~"
Gongsun Qiong held the spirit sword in his hand and walked towards the door step by step.
"Whew~"
A yin wind that was even more powerful than before blew in, Chu Hongyuan and Zhao Xiaodao were shocked, and couldn't help but shout: "Be careful!"
The wind blew Gongsun Qiong's robe and hair, and he held the spirit sword in his hand, and the whole person was quite imposing.
"Hiss~"
Suddenly, a piercing and sharp cry came from the hall, and the voice went straight to Gongsun Qiong.
Gongsun Qiong's eyebrows were raised, and a powerful force suddenly erupted from his body, carrying this inexplicable power, Gongsun Qiong held the sword in both hands, and stepped forward to slash forward!
"Poof!"
The sound of sharp weapons entering the flesh sounded.
"Hiss~!"
A miserable cry rang out abruptly.
Immediately afterwards, a woman wearing mourning clothes, with a pale and hideous face, appeared in front of Gongsun Qiong.
"Ahh
It was the first time Zhao Xiaodao saw such a frightening thing, and he was frightened.
Chu Hongyuan was also shocked in his heart, but he still resisted the shock, formed a palm with one hand, and hit the woman in mourning clothes with powerful spiritual power.
"Boom~"
With a huge sound, wrapped in powerful spiritual power, the woman in mourning clothes was sent flying into the air, and then forcibly swallowed by the spiritual power and completely disappeared.
