Outside the Star Picking City is mostly wilderness, hills and dense forests, which is conducive to robbers to hide, Jiajing with his vigorous skills, straight to the east, his frank through the forest and over the mountains, attracted the attention of many bandit gangs along the way.

However, they saw that Jiajing was alone and had nothing to lose, but his speed was extremely fast, and it was not easy to intercept, so they expected that it would be difficult to deal with him, so they let him go.

Jiajing walked like this for more than an hour, and the unique appearance of Badaling gradually fell into his eyes.

Badaling is not high, but the terrain is very steep, like a piece of giant bread, the surrounding mountains are smooth, it is extremely difficult to climb, there is only one artificial digging, the path of more than two meters wide goes up the mountain, there is the momentum of "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open".

However, there are no bandit gangs in such terrain, and it is difficult for the enemy to storm Badaling, and similarly, it is difficult for the people on the mountain to kill.

Because the trees on the mountain were sparse, there was only a clear spring, and there were no animals to hide, and if the garrison was besieged on the mountain, they could only starve to death.

The Knights of the Tempest did not dare to station their troops on it in vain, and the humble dwellings on the mountain were all built by the former star-picking for the miners.

Vilia was cautious, lest Jiajing and Cafirot cooperate and lead people to besiege Badaling.

There are not many of them here, they are all skilled in martial arts, and even if they are guarded by people, they can leave directly from the smooth mountain - those sparse trees can completely become a natural ladder for them to descend the mountain.

Jiajing followed the location marked on the back of the letter and came to the entrance of the mountain road to the west.

A storm robber who was in charge of waiting for Jiajing, often went to Yihong to drink, he knew Jiajing, and he was obviously a little surprised to see him go to the meeting alone, but admiration soon appeared in his eyes. He jumped down from the rocks next to the mountain road and said to Jiajing: "Hello, the head of the regiment has been waiting on it for a long time, please come with me Boss Jiajing!"

Jiajing didn't recognize him, so he naturally didn't have a good face for him, and said coldly: "Lead the way!"

The robber didn't care about Jiajing's rudeness, but still smiled and took the lead in Badaling.

He had the intention to demonstrate, and his footsteps quickly jumped up the mountain.

Jiajing didn't know how to lift his breath lightly, but he had great strength, and his jumping power was amazing, every time he jumped, it was a distance of three or four meters, and when his body fell, he made a heavy sound, and he was able to follow closely behind the robber, without falling at all.

When the robber heard the sound behind him, he turned his head to look, and saw Jiajing following him, and he couldn't help but be startled. He is a well-known fast leg in the Tempest Knights, cultivating a kind of light body kung fu from the Central Plains Continent, the speed is one of the best in the group, he has entered Star Picking City many times and easily escaped under the round-up of the city guards, and he is the main force who went to Yihong to buy wine, although he did not run with all his strength now, he was also surprised to see that Jiajing could catch up with his pace by jumping with brute force.

Halfway up the mountain, about three hundred meters high, the smooth rocky mountain suddenly disappeared and was replaced by angular rocks, and the mountain was much more gentle.

This is the end of the mountain road, and from a distance, you can vaguely see more than 100 very simple stone and wood houses, as well as traces of excavation.

From the gentle hill flow down a clear spring, is introduced into an artificially dug rock pond, all around are piled up with stones, the water surface is about two or three acres large, the water is not deep, only more than one meter, through the clear spring water can also see a lot of fish swimming, I don't know who put it in.

There are more than a dozen trees growing near the pond, and although the soil here is mostly sand and gravel, it is not suitable for plant growth, but it is moistened by the spring water, and the fertile soil brought by the former miners has grown much greener than the trees in other parts of the mountain, and the summer heat blows with a cool smell.

Vilia and the backbone of a dozen bandit gangs sat at a table carved out of stone under a big tree in the pond, and when they saw the robber coming with Jiajing, they all stood up and showed enough attention and respect to Jiajing.

Vilia laughed and said to Jiajing: "Hehe, Boss Jiajing is really young and promising!

Instead of wearing chain mail forged from black iron, he wore a blue cape, a knight's sword with a dark green snakeskin sheath at his waist, and short red hair, like a high-spirited swordsman, and he did not see his identity as a bandit leader at all.

Jiajing stared at Vilia for a while, and then said lightly: "Don't say anything, don't you just want to get half of Yihong's share by threatening me with my people? But I warn you in advance, you will regret it one day!"

It was the first time Vilia saw Jiajing, and he didn't return to Jiajing's words, but pointed to the stone stool and motioned for Jiajing to sit down, and then said slowly: "Don't worry, don't worry." Do you know where this pond came from?"

Without waiting for Jiajing to answer, he said to himself: "The terrain here is gentle, the spring water cannot be stored, and the workers who used to dig here have been digging here for half a year, but they have not dug anything, but they have dug such a big pit." Later, the spring water was introduced into this large pit, and slowly formed a pond. ”

Seeing that Jiajing didn't speak, he continued: "This pond is stocked with a lot of fish, they lack natural predator competition, and they live very freely. However, if we dig a gap in the pond, the spring will run out and the fish will not be able to survive. The same is true for Yihong Tavern, if you don't have the strength to guard the wine jar and prevent others from breaking it, the consequences will be like a pond that has been dug through, the fish in it are dead, and the gold coins are gone. ”

Jiajing knew what he meant, and said lightly: "Don't talk nonsense, I understand what you mean." Whether you can get half of Yihong's share depends on your own strength!"

Veria shook her head and sighed, and said, "Alas, you finally found such an outstanding metaphor, why don't you give any face at all." Well, I'll just say it straight! Near Star Picking City, I, Vilia, am also a talkative person, we cooperate in the operation of Yi Red Tavern, you take care of the business, and leave the rest to us. The Sean family is making trouble, you can rest assured, it's a big deal that I will send a few masters to warn them, and they won't be able to play any tricks!"

Apparently he had taken Yihong as his own.

Tiffany smiled lightly beside her, "Sean, a few people died, and they knew that Yihong was not delicious!"

Jiajing looked at them with a strange expression, and then smiled coldly, "How do you know that Yihong is delicious now?"

Vilia laughed loudly and said, "It doesn't matter if it's delicious or not, as long as you have the strength to be conceited." I like to make friends who are capable and powerful. Threats in the book are just a means to invite you, and although our knights have a bad reputation, they will not do anything to bully women and children. If we lose the competition, you can take Badaling, Yihong and we will not occupy anything, and we will still be your strong backing. ”

Vilia and the others had already thought it through in detail, and no matter what the outcome of this competition was, it would be beneficial and harmless to the Knights of the Tempest. Money and power have been made in heaven since ancient times, and now that it is becoming more and more difficult to do business without capital, and the life of the knights is difficult, he has long been trying to find a way to catch up with a wealthy merchant family with strong financial resources. It's a pity that the reputation of the Tempest Knights is too bad and has never had a chance, and now Yihong is in the limelight, and there is no big force behind it, Tiffany and Co. After careful consideration, Tiffany proposed to Vilia to give Jiajing such preferential conditions.

Jiajing would not believe the other party's words, just glanced at them, "Which of you will duel!"

Wearing light armor, Lu Luxiu bowed his hand to Jiajing and said, "Lu Luxiu, the deputy head of the Tempest Knights, is willing to comprehend the divine power of Boss Jiajing!"

Vilia even reminded Jiajing: "Brother Jiajing, be careful, Lu Luxiu used to be the commander of the thousand cavalry of the empire, passed the black iron level test, is good at swordsmanship, has flexible movements, and is not easy to deal with!"

Jiajing didn't pay attention to the change in Vilia's title, and didn't know why he had to remind himself, so he only walked to the spacious place outside in silence, stood opposite Lelouxiu, took out a military dagger, and stared at him tightly: "Come on!"

Lu Luxiu was a little surprised that a powerful warrior like Jiajing used a dagger instead of a giant weapon, and smiled at Jiajing and said, "We are not a life-and-death duel, let's have an aristocratic duel!"

There are two types of duels in the Western Regions, one is a life-and-death duel, and the other is a competitive duel.

The aristocracy is afraid of death, and most of the duels are contested duels, so this method of duel is also called aristocratic duel, which is a satire on the cowardice of the aristocracy. However, Jiajing is not a nobleman, and Lelouch did not mean to be sarcastic.

Jiajing knew what an aristocratic duel was, nodded his head, raised his dagger, bent his body slightly, stared at Lu Luxiu tightly, and did not take the initiative to make a move.

He hadn't officially dueled with anyone in this world, and had only tried a few times with Araderby, so he didn't know much about the other people's fighting routines, so he cautiously defended.

Lelouch slowly pulled out the silver long sword, his demeanor immediately focused, he didn't look at Jiajing, his eyes fell on his silver sword body, as if he was looking at a woman he loved deeply.

Jiajing was inexperienced, and when he saw that Lu Lu Xiu didn't move, he relaxed a little, who knew that Lu Lu Xiu moved in an instant!

The silver sword body reflected the sunlight in Jiajing's eyes, Jiajing blinked his eyes reflexively, and Lu Luxiu's silver sword stabbed straight at Jiajing's wrist!

Jiajing had no actual combat experience, and as soon as his eyes broke, he was stabbed in the wrist by Lu Luxiu.

Lu Luxiu didn't take Jiajing very seriously, he only used three points of strength, and he didn't use his spiritual power, so he thought that Jiajing would lose his weapon with a sword.

When the tip of the sword stabbed Jiajing's wrist, Jiajing only felt a slight pain in his wrist, and his wrist was not pierced.

The silver sword that followed Lelouch stabbed him in the throat.

Anthony, the backbone of the Mad Knights and the Axe Gang, who were watching the game, was surprised to find that the moment the silver sword stabbed Jiajing's wrist, his wrist suddenly emitted a burst of red light, and the silver sword flicked away, and the silver sword failed to stab Jiajing!

Lu Luxiu also felt this, and felt a slight chill in his heart, he didn't know what kind of spiritual power the other party used, he could flick off the silver sword, and immediately used seven points of strength to quickly stab Jiajing's throat.

Jiajing had learned from Arad, a wurm knight, and had mastered a lot of combat skills, so he immediately let out a deep cry, stepped back, kicked the gravel on the ground, and shot at Lelouch with great force.
