The location of the Sword Club is in the outer city.

It occupies a large area.

It is surrounded by a lake, but it is not Yueming Lake, but Sword Lake, and the name of the lake is naturally derived from the Sword Society.

The venue for the competition is in the middle of the lake, where a ring is built, and from a distance, it looks as if it is completely suspended above the surface of the lake.

At two o'clock, there was already a sea of people here, and the noise shook the sky.

The auditorium is a circular circle around the lake, with progressive levels to ensure that the center of the lake can be clearly seen from all angles.

In the past, the sword club was very lively, there would often be people from the rivers and lakes on the stage to discuss the sword, and occasionally there would be cultivators, which was just a kind of entertainment in more sense.

But the Sword Society also has unwritten rules, which can also be called the platform of life and death.

As long as a life and death agreement is signed, there will be life and death at the sword meeting.

It is not mandatory, but the participants are voluntary, and they put down the life and death ring, the two sides naturally have a grudge, and they are unwilling to solve it in private, and this rule of the Sword Society only provides some convenience for these people, after all, it is a crime to kill people directly in the capital, but in this way, even the government can't control it.

Of course, the crowd is only for people and practitioners.

In addition to some ordinary audiences, there are also many people who appear in the Sword Club that are worth mentioning.

For example, Beizangfeng and Guan Muyun of Ewha Academy.

Shen Qiubai and Zhong Xiyan of the Star Picking Mansion.

The brothers Xie Chunfeng and Xie Ning, who do not set the mountain.

Even the Mu Nan Squire of the Xuan Zheng Division appeared in a corner.

They were all waiting for the arrival of the people from the Palace Sword Courtyard and Xiao Zhinan.

Bei Zangfeng and Shen Qiubai stood on a bridge, the formation of the Sword Lake was only a tributary of the Tianhe River leading to the capital, and the same was true of the Yueming Lake, and there would naturally be arch bridges on the main tributaries.

This bridge is not very close to Sword Lake, but it is not far either, with the vision of Bei Zangfeng and Shen Qiubai, in fact, the distance is not a problem, and they can even see it more clearly than those ordinary spectators in the audience.

There were also Mu Yun and Zhong Xiyan on the bridge, and although the brothers Xie Chunfeng and Xie Ning were not in the audience, they were watching from elsewhere.

As expected, Xiao Zhinan ran to the Palace Sword Courtyard to challenge Ouyang Shengxue at the first time, and the confrontation between Beiyan and Jiang Guoli, the strongest sword cultivator of the younger generation, was really exciting. ”

Among the two countries, among the younger generation of sword cultivators, there is indeed no figure who can be compared with the two, Beizang Feng only practiced kendo, and he majored in the supernatural powers in the Pear Blossom Academy, so naturally it cannot be said that it is a sword cultivation, but only a swordsman.

Xiao Zhinan's encounter with Ouyang Shengxue also means that it is the battle between Lang Huan Sword House and the Palace Sword Academy.

There are only three sword gates in the world, and Xiao Zhinan and Ouyang Shengxue represent two of them, and if they want to divide the winners and losers on an occasion like the Sword Club, they will naturally receive attention from many parties.

Beizang Feng said calmly: "You and I have both fought with Miss Xiao, and Ouyang Shengxue has been away from Beijing for many years, it is inevitable that he will become stronger, although it can be perceived from the breath, but it will be a little inaccurate after all, and they are both sword cultivators, and the competition is sword skills, who wins and who loses, I'm afraid it's hard to say." ”

Shen Qiubai said: "Miss Xiao's kendo path is constant fighting, she can become stronger and stronger with the battle, this is a very terrible thing, but in front of the threshold of the Five Realms, no matter how highly qualified a person is, there will inevitably be a huge obstacle." ”

"Ouyang Shengxue has to embark on the path of kendo earlier than Xiao Zhinan, perhaps in terms of subjective consciousness, most people in the capital will think that the winner is Ouyang Shengxue, but in fact, Miss Xiao's chances of winning are not low. ”

Bei Zangfeng said thoughtfully: "Then I bet that Miss Xiao will win." ”

Shen Qiubai looked at him in surprise, and then said with a smile: "It's rare that Brother Zangfeng is so elegant, so I bet with you, since you bet on Miss Xiao, then I bet that Ouyang Shengxue will win." ”

Zhong Xiyan also smiled beside him and said: "Count me in, in fact, I don't know very well what the odds of Ouyang Shengxue and Xiao Zhinan are, but Xiao Zhinan is also a guest of my Jiang Kingdom, so I'll bet on her to win." ”

The three of them immediately set their eyes on Guan Muyun.

Guan Muyun was stunned for a moment, showed a wry smile, and said, "I choose the eldest gentleman of the Palace Sword Academy." ”

"That's two-on-two. Shen Qiubai said with a smile: "Coincidentally, Brother Zang Feng and my senior brother bet that Miss Xiao will win, and Senior Brother Guan of Pear Blossom Academy bet that Ouyang Shengxue will win like me, this combination is also interesting." ”

Zhong Xiyan said: "Since the gamble has been completed, how can you say that you win or lose the bet?"

Beizang Feng was silent, he thought that he just said casually, how could it be a gamble?

As for the rewards and punishments for winning and losing, he really didn't bother to think about it, so he could only keep silent.

Shen Qiubai thought for a while and said: "I don't have any good ideas, why don't you do this, if you win the bet, let the losing side learn to bark?"

Beizangfeng: "......"

Zhong Xiyan: "......"

Guan Muyun: "Wang Wang???"

......

Luwang Mansion.

Qin Chengyi sat in the pavilion in the courtyard drinking herbal tea, looking at Li Mengzhou with a smile on his face, "Then where was Mr. Seven at that time?"

The emotions in his heart were quite serious, because he didn't expect Li Mengzhou to say so simply that he was not in Wenrouxiang.

That inquiry was indeed just a temptation, but Li Mengzhou's answer made him a little confused.

Even Song Yidao was staring at Li Mengzhou's body.

The fact that Taijing was promoted by Qin Chengyi is that only some people in the court know, but it is normal for officials to be meritorious, and it is normal for them to be promoted and added, and there are definitely few people who really clearly understand the relationship between Taijing and Qin Chengyi, and those who know are all Qin Chengyi's people.

Just as Zhang Chong served as a general in the military department, it was basically clear in the court, even some people in the capital knew that because of Zhang Chong's character, he obviously wanted to make a fuss in the whole city.

But because of this, no one will particularly care about this matter, and they will not think that a small pinch will have anything to do with His Royal Highness King Lu.

Even if it is a high-ranking official, it is true that he has made some contributions, and when he is not clear about the details, there is nothing to say.

But Li Mengzhou's killing of Zhang Chong is no longer a secret.

Even if Qin Chengyi would not embarrass Li Mengzhou because of this, when he used the murder of Taijing to test it, Li Mengzhou's answer was quite mysterious.

"I sleep at home. ”

"Poof!"

Qin Chengyi squirted out all the herbal tea he had just drunk in his mouth.

He looked at Li Mengzhou with a red face, he really didn't expect this answer, picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Mr. Seven is really humorous. ”

Li Mengzhou said: "I really don't have any evidence in Gentle Township, but I was not in Gentle Township when I was killed, but there are many witnesses to the fact that I slept at home in Chaosi Lane, and those people who live in Chaosi Lane can prove it." ”

He said many names in a row, and then said: "They have either seen me in Chaosi Lane, and some people have come to my house to visit the door, and Your Highness will know if you ask." ”

Qin Chengyi coughed lightly and said, "I just mentioned it casually, Mr. Seven doesn't have to be so serious, I'm definitely not suspicious of Mr. Seven." ”

Li Mengzhou took a few steps forward, took the herbal tea on the table and drank it all, and said as if he was very casual: "Has Your Highness ever left the capital?"

Qin Chengyi was still silently wiping his mouth, he was a little choked just now, but when he heard Li Mengzhou's words, he still thought about it a little and said: "I spent time in the frontier when I was young, and I have experienced the real battlefield, but I am not a prince who only knows how to enjoy in the capital. ”

Li Mengzhou nodded slightly and said, "The hour is not early, the duel of the Sword Society is about to start, is Your Highness interested in going and watching together?"

Qin Chengyi shook his head with a smile and said: "I still have some busy things to deal with, so I won't go, although it is the first time I have met Mr. Seven, but it is the same at first sight, I hope Mr. Seven is the same, and there will be more contacts in the future." ”

Li Mengzhou said: "I used to think that the prince should be very majestic, unsmiling and difficult to get along with, but when I saw His Royal Highness today, I found that this was not the case, and His Royal Highness is also an interesting person." ”

Then I took my leave. ”

Qin Chengyi smiled, and after watching Li Mengzhou disappear from view, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he calmly said to Song Yidao: "What do you think?"

Song Yidao was silent for a while, and only after making sure that Li Mengzhou couldn't hear the voice here did he reply softly: "It's a little confusing, he generously admitted that he was not in Gentle Township when he was killed, I subconsciously began to doubt him, but it was also a little strange to say it directly like this, if it wasn't deliberate, it really had nothing to do with him." ”

As for the answer to sleeping at home, in fact, the truth is the same, if it is not deliberate, it is really clear and self-purifying, but whether it is deliberate and calm, it only depends on how we think, there is no way to give the correct answer. ”

Qin Chengyi said thoughtfully: "If it is deliberate, this person will look sleek, and if it is honest, he is a character worthy of deep friendship." But as you said, there is no point in temptation, but it is meaningless if you don't get the right answer. ”

Song Yidao said calmly: "From the killing of Zhu Shilang of the Xuanzheng Division to Li Mengzhou's killing of Lu Changge in the prison of the Xuanzheng Division, it seems that he does not have a lot of brains, a very simple thing is so complicated, this thing that has happened is not to be panicked, not to mention that Xue Wangwei and Lu Zhonghui have been provoked." ”

"Instead of thinking about Li Mengzhou too complicated, it is better to make the thinking simpler, whether there is a problem or not, it will naturally be clear in the future. ”

Qin Chengyi said noncommittally: "Simple things are often complicated, and complex things are often simple, mainly from the perspective of looking at the problem, I am looking forward to seeing this Mr. Seven again on what occasion next time." ”
