Chapter 64: Before the War
On the seventh day of the first month, today is the day of the duel between Ling Feng and Li Wen. At this time, the arena was already crowded, and the entire arena was full.
One of today's protagonists, Li Wen, is now being reprimanded by his father, Li Hai, "Look at what you've done, everyone is watching us make a fool of ourselves right now." Even if you are for Bai Xueqing, for the so-called love, you can't give up your dignity, forget what kind of person you are, and forget what level of swordsman you are. ”
Li Wen ignored Li Hai now, just wiped his sword over and over again. He believed that Ling Feng would not only show the strength he had shown, but would not just be a high-level swordsman. Because he felt this way, he didn't know why he felt this way, and when he was at the door of the library, when Ling Feng told him that he had a different job title than his own, he didn't think Ling Feng was just bluffing like everyone else.
Seeing that Li Wen didn't speak, Li Hai sighed and said, "Forget it, things have come to this point, and I can't turn back if I want to." I hope that this Long Tian can be like what you said, with the strength beyond his own title, preferably with the strength of a sword master, then it can't be regarded as a challenge to someone who is lower than his own level, and no one will say that you don't have the dignity that a swordsman should have. But is this possible?"
"Possibly, absolutely. Li Wen finally spoke.
"Then he won't show it, don't you know that he has already bet 100,000 gold coins to buy himself to lose? Even if he has a higher strength than you, he will pretend to be just a high-level swordsman, and deliberately do not show his strength to let you win. No one will say about him, because he is only a high-level swordsman, and you are a high-level swordsman. Everyone will only say that you are shameless and challenge someone lower than your rank, but they will not say that he deliberately lost. Lehi said worriedly.
"Their Long family didn't bet on him to win, and there were quite a few. According to the odds, he loses much less than he wins. Li asked.
"They bought it, but everyone said that it was just the Long family who bought it for the sake of face, or did they buy you to win, and pulled the odds to an unimaginable level, you are one hundred to one, and he is one to fifty. Lehi was still there troubled.
"Dad, do you believe that the Long family is just buying it for the sake of face? You pay too much attention to this matter, and you don't have the usual calmness at all. You should be able to easily tell that the Long family will not bet just for the sake of face, for them, they must have absolute confidence in Long Tian to bet. Otherwise, they wouldn't have done such meaningless things. Li asked.
"Hmm......" Lehi was silent, how to say that he was also an important minister of the Tianxiang Empire, and soon he pulled himself out of this matter and looked at it with the eyes of a bystander. With his understanding of the Long family, he knew that the Long family was not a face-loving family, nor was it a rich family. Combining the above two points, we know that this time they bet on Long Tiansheng to win, and they definitely have confidence in Long Tian, thinking that he can defeat Li Wen. If that's the case, then Long Tian should at least have the strength of the Sword Saint, because Li Wen is a high-level sword master, and the only person who can defeat him is someone with the strength of the Sword Saint.
"You're right, I think Long Tian should have a strength that doesn't match his level, but he shouldn't be your opponent yet. No one has been able to surpass three levels in just over a year, not even a genius. "Lehi couldn't believe that Ling Feng would have the strength of a Sword Saint, because that would be too incredible. His thoughts were also the thoughts of many people, those people suspected that Ling Feng had the strength to compete with Li Wen, otherwise they would not have agreed to Li Wen's duel like this, but when they thought that Ling Feng had only been missing for about a year, he was still a high-level swordsman before he disappeared, and no matter how hard Ling Feng tried in this year, it was impossible to break through the three levels.
"This will be known later, and it is useless to guess now. Li Wen looked at the field and said lightly.
"Yes, you will know what level Long Tian is at right away. Lehi looked at the area where the Long family was staying, and saw that there was a person who had not yet arrived today.
"Uncle Long, why hasn't Long Tian come here yet?" The person who wasn't there was the protagonist of the day - Ling Feng. It can be said that everyone in the Long family has arrived, even those who are not from the Long family have almost arrived, but Ling Feng is missing.
"Yes, second brother, why hasn't Long Tian come over yet?" After asking, he looked at the person who had just spoken with ambiguous eyes, and then said: "But I didn't expect anyone to be more anxious than us, so I already asked." Xue Rou, when did you care so much about Long Tian, didn't you get annoyed when you saw him before?"
"Where do I care about him!! I'm here today to watch him duel with Li Wen, if he doesn't come, today will be in vain. Xue Rou said angrily. She came with the emperor with Xue Fei, but she didn't see Ling Feng present when she came, and she still didn't see it after waiting for a long time. It stands to reason that today is the day of Ling Feng's duel, and he shouldn't have come over by now, so he opened his mouth to ask Long Jue.
Long Jue also looked at Xue Rou a little ambiguously, he thought that Xue Qing would ask, and he also thought that Xue Fei would ask, but he never thought that Xue Rou would ask Long Tian's situation. smiled and said, "What's the matter, do you miss Long Tian?" Actually, I don't know what he's doing now, and he hasn't come over yet. ”
The emperor asked curiously, "You don't know?"
"Yes, the day this stinky boy woke up, he said that he was going to stay in Blackstone Mountain for a few days, and then he never came out again, and stayed there all the time. Long Jue said.
"Didn't you go in to see him?" said the Emperor.
"I sent somebody over. However......" Long Jue said this, looking at Long Xing next to him, "It's up to my brother to answer you, this matter was arranged by him, and he knows best." "Long Xing is Long Jue's brother-in-law, and he is older than Long Jue, and he has always called Long Xing his brother since he was a child.
"We can say that it was a surprise on this point. Long Xing spoke, "The people I sent couldn't even enter Longtian's Black Stone Mountain. Every time I go in, I get blocked. ”
"Blocked out, you are looking for Long Tian, how can you be blocked out, didn't Long Tian let you in, or did you not tell him your identity?" The emperor was even more strange, didn't Long Tian let people in, and did something inside that no one could know.
"This is to blame on the person who went for the first time, he is a scout, thinking that Longtian's Black Stone Mountain has just begun, and the defense will not be very strict. I just want to go directly inside, bypass the guards and go directly to find Long Tian. Unexpectedly, Long Tian's defense was not only not strict, but also very good, he was discovered before he approached Black Stone Mountain. They warned him to leave, and as long as he explained his intentions, the matter would have ended like this. It's just that he didn't admit defeat, thinking that this time it was just carelessness, so he wanted to dive in again. Speaking of this, Long Xing showed not reproach, but excitement, "So after he left, he turned back and used all his moves to sneak into Long Tian's Black Stone Mountain. ”
Everyone was quiet and wanted to hear what the outcome was.
"This time, he successfully approached the Black Stone Mountain and also entered the range of the Black Stone Mountain, but not long after entering, he was surrounded by people, and he was arrested again and brought to Long Tian. Long Xing paused and continued: "Long Tian looked at him, so he asked him to let him go, and then asked him to pass the word, saying that he was fine, and he might have to stay there for a while. ”
"Oh, it seems that Long Tian's defensive ability in Blackstone Mountain is very good, anyway, they are all people you have trained, and you should be happy that they can do this. The Emperor said.
"They weren't trained by us. Long Xing continued the emperor's words.
"What? It's not you, aren't the people who are guarding Black Rock Mountain in your army?" the emperor remembered that he had said last time that he would send people to be stationed in Black Stone Mountain to protect Ling Feng.
"We are in the army, but we are not trained because they are slave soldiers. Long Xing was a little embarrassed to say it, because his elite soldiers were defeated by the slave soldiers, although only in terms of reconnaissance.
"Slave soldiers, they'll have the ability to keep your scouts at bay. "Longxing's scouts are well-known elite soldiers in the whole continent, and they are recognized as the number one scouts. Not many armies can stop his scouts, and this time I didn't expect to be blocked by a group of slave soldiers, which is surprising enough.
"That's not the most surprising thing, it's even more surprising. Long Xing said, "After listening to the scout's report, I was very surprised, I want to try the anti-detection ability of Longtian Black Stone Mountain, does it really have that kind of strength, or is it just an accident this time." So I sent a few people in, and the result of the incident confirmed one thing, that is, the anti-reconnaissance capability of Heishi Mountain is indeed there, and the people who went this time ended in failure. ”
"There really is such strength, how did he do it, he can raise the slave soldiers to this level. The Emperor said.
"I learned a little bit about this in the later encounters, they made perfect use of the terrain, and they used everyone's abilities in the layout of the manpower, so that the whole Blackstone Mountain and everything in the vicinity were under their control. As soon as someone breaks in, they know right away, and then deploy people to surround the intruder. This should be a credit to Nicholas, and it seems that I underestimated his abilities. Long Xing said, he thought that these manpower arrangements were all done by Nicholas, and he was annoyed why he didn't make good use of his abilities in the first place, and now it is useless to say anything. However, he still thought wrong, these Nicholas did have merit, but a large part of it was Ling Feng's doing.
"Did you fight again?" the Emperor asked.
"Yes, in the past ten days, I have sent almost all of them, but each time I have failed. The best result was only to the plains inside the Black Rock Mountain. Long Xing replied.
"Now that you know that Long Tian has such strength, why do you still send someone in. The Emperor said.
"This is because I found that Longtian's Black Stone Mountain is the best place to train scouts. And Long Tian seems to have deliberately asked people to say, let's continue, because he also has to train those slave soldiers, so that both sides will benefit. So I took the goal of breaking through the defense of the Black Stone Mountain and reaching the front of Long Tian, and sent people out. Long Xing explained, things were as he said, his scouts had learned a lot in the past ten days, and Ling Feng's guarding ability had also been greatly improved.
"By the way, how did Long Tian know that they were your people?" the emperor remembered, when the first scout entered just now, he didn't identify himself, and Ling Feng immediately let him go and let him take the message back.
"I don't know about that, we haven't met yet. In the past ten days, Long Tian has never been out of the Black Stone Mountain, and I have not entered it. Long Xing was also very curious about this matter, but he hadn't had a chance to ask Ling Feng yet.
"Having said all that, it has not been said why he hasn't come yet. Xue Rou listened to the side, and seeing that they hadn't explained why Ling Feng hadn't come yet, she muttered in a low voice.
"I don't know about that, so I can't answer your question. At most, when Long Tian comes over, I'll help you ask. Although Xue Rou's voice was small, the people present were all masters, and they could hear her muttering very clearly, and it was Long Xing who answered her words.
"Why are you in such a hurry, it won't be good if you see it for a while, wait a little longer, maybe it's delayed on the way." The Emperor said softly, it was the first time he had seen Xue Rou take the form of a little daughter.
"yes, it's not time yet. Let's take this opportunity to have a good chat. Come here, Xue Fei and Xue Qing also come over. Ao Wuxue on the side spoke, she called the three girls to her side, and began to gossip and chat.
And Long Jue and the others also began to talk about Ling Feng's Black Stone Mountain, talk about Ling Feng's changes, and the topic never left Ling Feng. So there were two talking crowds in the VIP room, as well as two Long Jianxin and Leng Yue, who were sitting there and had not spoken.
When the time for the duel came, Li Wen arrived in the center of the arena and stood there waiting for Ling Feng to come down.
"Why hasn't Long Tian come over yet, is it like last time he was attacked on the road. No, I'm going to check it out. Xue Rou saw that the time had come, Li Wen had already ended, and Ling Feng hadn't come over yet, so she was a little anxious and a little worried about Ling Feng. Throw this sentence away, and you're going to run out. Xue Qing and Xue Fei followed behind Xue Rou, and they were also worried, afraid that something would happen to Ling Feng.
"Wait, look at it!" Ao Wuxue stopped them, pointing to the entrance to the arena.
The third girl followed Ao Wuxue's fingers and looked at the entrance. I saw a figure appear there, slowly walking towards the field.
