Chapter 0270: The Lamb to the Slaughter
Looking at the autumn moon exquisitely, Xia Qingyang naturally heard it, this is a sentence in the ballad of the Nine Heavens.
With the previous incident in the Dark Forest, Tantai Kuixiang mentioned this at this moment, and the intention was not asked, Xia Qingyang said movingly: "Could it be that this exquisite autumn moon will happen in Zhongzhou City?"
"Hmph, otherwise do you think that with the current prestige of the dynasty and the old man's affection, how many people will be willing to sell the face of this talent selection conference?" said with a little resentment.
"Why don't you do it through the Academy?" Xia Qingyang asked, with the prestige of the Mythology Academy, the natural influence would increase a lot.
"The academy is not bad on our side, but I don't have the right to call them. ”
Xia Qingyang said: "Listen to the prince's meaning, they don't agree to do this bureau? By the way, I don't know what this bureau is." ”
"Regardless of them, they have their problems, and the academy is not monolithic. Tantai Kuixiang said: "I'll help you answer a few mysteries in your heart first." The matter between you and Yaxuan's girl in the Qingyuan Restaurant was settled between me and Lan Haoyun, and it was at that time that we confirmed each other's positions, and later the maintenance of you by the Imperial Dynasty in the dark forest was also arranged by me, but in order to hide people's eyes, I could only use my strength to fight and point to the end. ”
"I expected the Bai family to attack you, but I didn't expect the means to be so inferior, but your counterattack is also ruthless enough, I originally planned to ask the dean to come forward, but I didn't want the first knife in Kyushu to stand up, but I knew that you wouldn't stop there, so I pushed the boat down the river and sent you to the land of exile. ”
Xia Qingyang smiled bitterly: "Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to get out?"
"No, although I don't know the specific situation inside, I know that it is impossible for the primordial soul to be trapped, even if it is impossible for the human emperor to arrange it. He replied.
Xia Qingyang couldn't cry or laugh after hearing this, but there was no need to worry about it at this time.
Yutai Kuixiang continued: "The main purpose of sending you in is to protect you, you may know that you have fallen into the calculations of many people, but you don't know how dangerous it is, at that time, I judged that your performance may have aroused their vigilance, maybe they will take action against you, only with the first knife in Kyushu and me, even if you add the dean, you are not sure to protect you at all." ”
At this time, Xia Qingyang was really moved, and now that he thinks about it, he was indeed too impulsive at that time, but he still has some doubts about the statement of Yutai Kuixiang: "The first sword in Kyushu is already a top legendary soul master, and the dean seems to be able to compare with it, so how strong must that mysterious force be? Not to mention that I still have ???."
"And the Colorful Light Fist?" "Perhaps the people behind the Colorful Light Fist can fight against them, but I'm not optimistic about this, I think you also know that the Colorful Light Fist is no longer sheltering you at that time, why is this? You must know that the Lan family and the Yun family are all in charge of legendary soul masters, how can they easily obey people's orders? How powerful do you think the people who can deter or even control the legendary soul masters?"
Xia Qingyang was dripping in cold sweat, he wasn't afraid of death, but those people were probably not like killing him, and there were many encounters that were far more terrible than death.
Yutai Kuixiang continued: "You are the primordial soul, although it is not necessarily the destiny of heaven, but you are also one of the biggest suspects, if they really want to attack you, they will inevitably use thunderous means, who can stop them at that time? Although the primordial soul is mysterious, it may not be able to withstand their means. ”
"Since they are suspicious, why don't they do it as soon as possible? If they wait for these suspects to grow up, wouldn't it be more troublesome?" Xia Qingyang asked.
"I don't know about this, maybe the time hasn't come, maybe there are other reasons, but I can't take any chances, besides, you have mastered the Human Emperor Sutra, and it may be beneficial to enter there, which is what I expected. ”
"You, you know ???"
Tantai Kuixiang said in a deep voice: "I know, but I don't know where the imperial brother is, I don't want to know, I don't think he wants us to know, do you understand?"
Xia Qingyang was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "I understand. ”
"Okay, what else do you want to know?"
"Since none of them are sure who it is, why are you sure it's me?"
"I'm not sure, but I can't wait like them, I can only gamble and hope you don't let me down. ”
Xia Qingyang smiled helplessly.
Tantai Kuixiang suddenly stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "The previous things are almost the same, as for the details, we will have a chance to talk about it later, now let's talk about how to do a good job in this game." ”
When Xia Qingyang left the courtyard of Tangtai Kuixiang and returned to the Qianyang Zongdan Medicine Workshop, it was already late at night, but Yan Ruyu and the others did not rest, they were walking around in the secret room, waiting for him anxiously.
Seeing Xia Qingyang's safe return, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Yan Ruyu didn't speak, Long Changsheng couldn't help but ask, "It's done?"
Xia Qingyang sat down at the table, motioned for the three of them to sit down, and exhaled heavily, saying, "The talk is negotiated, but the matter may not be successful." ”
Yan Ruyu was quite surprised and said: "Since the negotiation has been completed, he has promised to help, a Zhao Sen must not be a big problem, why can't he say it???? Is there anything else that can't be done?"
Xia Qingyang had already admired Yan Ruyu's wisdom, and all he lacked was knowledge, so he decided to help her make up for this lesson: "Sister-in-law, have you heard of the ballad of the Nine Heavens?"
After a night of secret talks, Xia Qingyang chose to retreat, but this retreat was not for cultivation, just a few days of cultivation is not of much use to him now, the retreat is for meditation, the more complex the situation, the more you need a cool mind and clear judgment.
The situation in Zhongzhou City is extremely delicate, the conservatives and radicals and the forces behind them are all the players, and the two sides are afraid of each other, and each has its own backhand, jointly promoting the development of the situation.
At present, it seems that Tantai Kuixiang is leading the situation, but almost all of his heavy bets are invested in Xia Qingyang, so the final success or failure is still unknown, and it is very likely to be a lose-lose situation.
But at this point, it is impossible for anyone to stop, because this involves the Nine Heavens, and just these three words are enough for both sides to invest heavily in the army.
"Linglong looks at the autumn moon, I am the heart of Linglong???" Xia Qingyang remembered the speculation of Tantai Kuixiang that he and Qiu Yue were the key to this game, because the two of them were the protagonists of this game.
Xia Qingyang didn't believe in this, but he couldn't refute it, so he had to take one step at a time, as for killing Duan Sen, since Yutai Kuixiang promised to help, naturally there would not be much of a problem, what he had to consider now was how to do this game well.
Yan Ruyu and his wife took Shen Chuan and Long Changsheng back to the stronghold outside the city, it was enough for Zhongzhou City to have a Xiangtai Kuixiang to deliver the news, and they began to set up a more complete intelligence network, Xia Qingyang didn't like that kind of situation at a loss, so he needed information, and he needed information from all sides.
It wasn't until the early morning of the day of the election that Xia Qingyang ended his retreat, and he declined Yue Yuqin and Ji Zhong's request to accompany him, because he knew that there were no accidents at all at this level, and the key to this game was the final selection.
Thousands of people participated, including many dazzling figures such as Lan Luoying.
Xia Qingyang also successfully completed the blood collection, and after staying in the square for a while, he returned to the pill shop, the results will be announced in one day, and the final selection date will be three days later.
The next day, he finally got the news of Tie Niu and Xiao Doudou, and the result was gratifying to him, Tie Niu had recovered, and both of them were safe, and what made him even more relieved was that it took so many days to get the news, which showed that Lan Haoyun's ancestors and grandsons were indeed attentive.
On the third day, the final list was announced, and Xia Qingyang was included as expected, but he was not surprised, and it did not mean that others were not surprised.
Although there are a lot of people in a hundred, but now that the heroes of Zhongzhou City have gathered, and there is a powerful intelligence organization called the Shadow Society, the identity of a hundred people has been found out in a few hours.
Although the dynasty clearly stated that there are no conditions for the participants, that is, there is no restriction on ordinary people, peddlers, and pawns, but how many such people will come to join in the fun, and it is already a great miracle that three people can be selected in the end.
As for the famous family sects, naturally there are people selected, and most of the other people with poor backgrounds are also famous, except for those three ordinary people, there are no unknown people.
Except for one person.
This person is a guest of the Pill Medicine Workshop, and his public realm is a mid-stage elite soul master, a second-grade alchemist.
If it makes sense in other places, but in this Zhongzhou City, such a character is caught on the street casually, which is a lot, what qualifications does this kind of person have to participate in the final election?
Even the Dan Medicine Workshop is not a great way to come from, the background is the Qianyang Sect of the Lark Mountain Department, the Lark Mountain Department is still a little famous, as for the Qianyang Sect, if it weren't for the Dark Forest and that young man, who would know such a sect.
The jade plaque that the three ordinary people obtained symbolizing the qualification for the final election was replaced before it was hot in their hands, and it was really easy for the soul master to exchange things with ordinary people, and it was difficult for the other party to refuse the things he took out, not to mention that he didn't dare to refuse.
The dynasty did not stop this, and if it did not stop it, it would be acquiescing.
So someone set their eyes on the guest Qing of the Qianyang Zongdan Medicine Workshop, and now it seems that only this jade plate is the easiest to get.
Things are developing so fast, Xia Qingyang is still thinking about how to achieve his goal in the next final election, and try to hide his identity as much as possible, but suddenly found that he can no longer keep a low profile, now he has become a fat lamb, countless people are sharpening their knives, there seems to be no suspense about his ending, the only suspense is who fell under the butcher's knife.
