"The Hua family sent a battle post?" asked Zhang Xiyun in the Ruan family's shop.

Ruan Menghe's face was not very good-looking, "I used to think too simply, thinking that if I returned face to the Hua family, the Hua family would become a big thing."

Shang Yang on the side interjected: "Today's Hua family head Hua Xiong is narrow-minded and will repay him, he really doesn't look like a real businessman."

"At that time, the Hua family was also some famous in Nanshi, it is rumored that the head of the family, Hua Ansheng, had a very good relationship with the officials of the Dragon Court, and Pei Shan, a member of the Ministry of Rites, was his friend of eight worships, Hua Ansheng was modest, and he treated people with sincerity in business, but more than ten years ago, he suddenly died violently, and even his sworn brother Pei Shan did not go to mourn after his death."

"There are rumors that Hua Ansheng's death is strange, perhaps involving a major case of collusion between officials and businessmen, and many Longting officials who came and went before his death were afraid of getting into trouble after his death, so they drew a line with the Hua family"

"It can be said that people go to tea and cool, and the Hua family will be in a slump after that, and they are forced to leave the South City and return to the North City to start a new business, Hua Xiong has experienced this, and his heart is no longer like his father, his face can only be earned by himself, and no one can afford it."

Ruan Menghe blamed himself: "A few days ago, I was also preoccupied, and I didn't think about it carefully, since Hua Xiong can do something to send someone to the shop to make trouble, how can he be like me."

Zhang Xiyun reached out and picked up the battle post on the table and opened it to look at it.

"Tomorrow at noon, please ask the Ruan family to worship Zhang Xiyun, the battle of the Wuge in Beishi, life and death. ”

Just one sentence. But it is full of a sense of immortality.

"The person who sent the letter left a message, and they will also send out a mortal dust to worship, and fight to the death in the martial pavilion. The stake is the qualification of the shop promotion," Ruan Menghe looked a little uneasy.

"Wu Ge, what kind of place is that?" Zhang Xiyun asked after a moment of silence.

"There are four martial arts pavilions in the outer city, which are located in the four major square cities, and it is not allowed to kill people at will in the imperial capital city, but the martial pavilion is an exception, in fact, it is the four life and death rings set up by the Dragon Court, and the state of life and death is determined, and when you enter the martial pavilion, you will live and die and have your destiny."

"There will inevitably be enmity among the monks. If you are chased and killed by the enemy of life and death, you can be safe by hiding in the imperial capital, and the days will accumulate over time. There will be too many people who have grievances against the Dragon Court, so the Dragon Court has set up four martial pavilions."

"Wu Ge Death Match, if one side dies in battle, everything on his body can be used as the victor's trophy. ”

Shang Yang looked at Zhang Xiyun. He said, "Last time you won five by one. It can be regarded as a big loss of face for the Hua family, if Wu Ge wins the death match against you, he will naturally earn his face back."

"The Martial Pavilion has its rules, once it involves a great feud of life and death, the battle post is established, it cannot be refused, otherwise the Dragon Court will intervene and be expelled from the Imperial Capital City. If it's serious, you will be killed directly"

In this way, Long Ting really has its domineering. In order to maintain the stability of the imperial capital and appease the people's hearts, a martial pavilion was set up, and those who did not abide by the rules would be punished personally!

"This is also a last resort of the Dragon Court," Shang Yang sighed, "After all, apart from the Imperial Capital City, where is not the monk in the five continents who has the final say, how can there be fewer things that will make a big move if they don't agree with each other."

Zhang Xiyun did not object, compared to other places, the imperial capital city is indeed a paradise, monks can not kill mortals at will, and mortals can have a place in the imperial capital city, the official is the official, the market business, are all set up by mortals, and the monks are not allowed to meddle in it.

"Wu Ge is to settle disputes between monks"

Ruan Menghe said: "The Hua family wants to deal with you, but you can't fall into the hands of others, the Xianlu monk will not make a move, it must be a new mortal dust monk to make a move, and this person must be stronger than Qu Qinghan and the five people, so that the Hua family can have enough confidence"

Zhang Xiyun thought for a while and asked, "But I and the Hua family, where did the life-and-death enmity come from, I can't accept this martial pavilion battle post!"

Ruan Menghe's face was extremely ugly, "If not, it can naturally be pushed away, but the reason that the Hua family proposed to Wu Ge"

"It was you who killed the five worshippers of the Hua family!"

Zhang Xiyun was stunned, and then thought that he was now a suspect in the death of Qu Qinghan and the five people!

"Xiyun, you weren't taken to the Criminal Department yesterday, but Lord An helped you?" asked Ruan Menghe.

"Sort of," Zhang Xiyun replied vaguely.

Ruan Menghe was overjoyed and said, "If this is the case, please ask Lord An to clear your suspicions for you, and you can avoid this battle!"

Zhang Xiyun smiled bitterly and said: "It would be fine if it was so simple, but now I just don't have to go to the criminal department to be tried, in fact, I am still the biggest suspect, if this case is not solved in a day, then the charge of murder will be up to me."

This Hua family is really pressing step by step, I am afraid that seeing that he was not brought back to the criminal department, he made another move of martial arts deathmatch.

Ruan Menghe's face sank again, and he muttered, "How is this good?"

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, in that case, I'll take this battle post" Zhang Xiyun sighed.

Ruan Menghe felt guilty at this time, and said to him: "Xiyun, I hurt you"

"If you hadn't stood up for the Ruan family, you wouldn't have been wrongfully accused of being a murderer, let alone taking over this martial arts battle post!"

Zhang Xiyun comforted him and said: "Brother Ruan, why do you think so, this is my own life, I can't complain about you, I should help the Ruan family, and the disaster of the Hua family is that they want to deal with me, and it has nothing to do with you."

Ruan Menghe felt guilty and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Zhang Xiyun picked up the battle post, put it in his arms, and said, "I want to participate in martial arts, which can be regarded as a kind of training." ”

Seeing that Ruan Menghe still looked unhappy, he smiled again: "Brother Ruan, don't look like this, why don't you have any confidence in me at all?"

"Could it be that in Brother Ruan's heart, I will definitely lose this battle?" Zhang Xiyun teased.

"No, no" Ruan Menghe hurriedly denied it, and said: "It's just that the Hua family knows your details." The people who invite them will definitely be able to make them seven or eight points sure, I'm worried."

"Who said that the Hua family knows my details?" Zhang Xiyun smiled, "It's not like Brother Ruan hasn't seen my strength on the boat. Do you think the Hua family really figured out my details?"

Ruan Menghe was stunned for a moment, and then thought of the state of Zhang Xiyun on the boat at that time, and couldn't help but shudder.

Zhang Xiyun could only use these words to appease Ruan Menghe at this time, and then said: "Don't worry, since the Hua family doesn't want the face given by Brother Ruan, and frames me for murder by despicable means, tomorrow I will completely tear the face of the Hua family." Take back the qualification for the promotion of the shop as a lottery head!"

He still thought in his heart that after he entered the Qin Heavenly Prison, he would thoroughly investigate the murder of Qu Qinghan and the five people. When the time comes, the Hua family will lose all their face!

After Zhang Xiyun left the Ruan family's shop, he went straight back to the Chaolai Inn.

Yan Jiujun saw that he looked worried when he came in, so he spoke: "It seems that the Wuge battle post, you took it?"

He was stunned. asked, "Does Deputy Yan know about it?"

Yan Jiujun said angrily: "You ran away before you finished speaking." I was just about to tell you about the Martial Pavilion Battle Post. ”

Zhang Xiyun came to the front of the tent and hurriedly asked, "Then what do you think of this matter?"

Yan Jiujun replied lazily: "According to the rules of the Imperial Capital City, you must accept this battle post."

"Although you were kept by me and did not enter the Criminal Department for trial, but in the case of Qu Qinghan, you are the only suspect, and if this case is not solved for a day, you can be regarded as having a life-and-death enmity with the Hua family. ”

Zhang Xiyun smiled bitterly. Said: "I also thought about it, it seems that I have to take this battle"

Yan Jiujun sat up straight. As if jokingly, he said: "If you are really unsure and don't want to accept this battle post, I have a way"

This is a life-and-death fight, of course it is better not to fight, Zhang Xiyun hurriedly asked: "What is the method that Deputy Yan said!?"

Yan Jiujun beckoned and motioned for him to come closer, Zhang Xiyun hurriedly leaned over, and heard Yan Jiujun whisper in his ear: "You go to the Martial Pavilion tomorrow, just talk to the officials of the Martial Pavilion."

"I'm the true sect of Tianqiong!"

Zhang Xiyun was stunned, thinking that Yan Jiujun was laughing at himself, and said with a little shame: "When has this been, Deputy Yan Jian is still making fun of me like this!"

Yan Jiujun shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and Zhang Xiyun said helplessly: "I'll go back to the room first, and then try to see if I can make a breakthrough, and I'll be more sure."

Yan Jiujun looked at Zhang Xiyun's departing back, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile.

"I've told you the way, but you don't believe it."

"In this hundred-year-old situation, the disciples of the three sects and the four sects must not die in the imperial capital for the Dragon Court."

"I'm afraid you don't know how many unexpected benefits Tianqiong's authentic sect identity can bring to you in this imperial capital."

"But Wuge Deathmatch, I want you to go, since you want to enter the Qin Heavenly Prison, you will definitely encounter countless dangers in the future, and now that the five continents are about to come through the storm, if you don't even pass this level, it will be difficult to survive in the future."

After a night, Zhang Xiyun woke up from his meditation and looked at the sky from the window, the weather was very good, and it was less than an hour before noon.

He walked downstairs, didn't see Yan Jiujun's figure, muttered to himself, and left the inn.

Yesterday, he had already learned from the mouth of Ruan Menghe where the Beishi Wu Pavilion was, and now he was going directly to the Wu Pavilion, and Ruan Menghe and the others would wait for him in the Wu Pavilion.

Ministry of Rites, inside the Cabinet Courtyard.

Pei Shan was chatting and laughing with several officials of the Ministry of Rites in the courtyard, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites who reported to him about the Hua family that day came in from outside the courtyard and saluted everyone: "I have seen all of you. ”

"Hmm. Everyone responded, and Pei Shan saw that he looked hurried, and asked again, "But what's the matter?"

The official of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly said, "Master Pei, the lower official has something to report to you." ”

Pei Shan frowned slightly, and said with a smile with his colleagues beside him: "I really can't be idle for a moment, so I won't talk to you." ”

A few colleagues beside him laughed and talked a few times, and then left the courtyard.

Seeing everyone leaving, Pei Shan smiled, sat on the stone bench, and said to the official of the Ministry of Rites, "What happened again?"

"Yesterday, the lord asked me to check the identity of a martial artist for the Hua family, and the lower official went to inquire this morning, and after asking, I learned that the martial artist that the Hua family wanted to check turned out to be the sect of Tianqiong Authentic Sect!" said the official of the Ministry of Rites in fear.

Pei Shan was slightly stunned, "It's actually a disciple of Tianqiong's Authentic Sect, I didn't expect that I would also participate in martial arts." ”

Then he was puzzled: "No, outsiders don't know, but how can many officials of the Ministry of Rites not know that if it is true that the disciples of the three sects and four sects want to enter the court as officials, there is no need to let them participate in martial arts, as long as they show their identity, they can enter the six departments."

"Unless he's going to two or three very special courtyards. ”

"This is the second thing I want to report to your lordship, that Tianqiong disciple is not a martial artist from various continents, but a place that was added by the deputy security supervisor of Qin Tianjian to Li Shilang personally."

Pei Shan was surprised: "It's actually the person Qin Tianjian wants!

Pei Shan thought for a moment and asked again, "Why did Hua Xiong want to check the identity of this person, how could he have a relationship with Tianqiong's disciples?"

The official of the Ministry of Rites had an ugly face, and said with a wry smile: "This is the third thing I want to report to the adults."

"After I found out the identity of this person this morning, I also felt strange, so I asked someone to ask, and the result was that the Hua family had a grudge against this Tianqiong Authentic Sect disciple!"

"The Hua family and the Ruan family competed for the promotion qualification of the shops in the North City, and the Ruan family got the help of this Tianqiong disciple, he pretended to be a disciple of the Wuyue Sword Sect, and defeated the five worshippers of the Hua family with one enemy and five enshrinements, but the five worshippers of the Hua family died outside the imperial capital city within a few days, and the case was reported to the Cangyu Army, and was handed over to the criminal department by the Lida."

"The Hua family insisted that he was the one who killed him, but after the criminal department came to the door, I am afraid that he knew his identity and did not bring him back to the criminal department for interrogation, but Hua Xiong didn't know the situation, and in the name of life and death, he asked Wu Ge for a life and death battle post!"

The more Pei Shan listened, the more frightened he became, and asked anxiously, "When is this battle set!?"

The official of the Ministry of Rites had an ugly face and muttered, "It's set at noon today." ”

Pei Shan's face changed, and now it was less than an hour before noon

"Look, my lord," the Ministry of Rites official asked cautiously.

"Shut up, let me think!" Pei Shan shouted angrily.

Pei Shan calmed down and thought secretly: "The Hua family dares to ask the Wu Pavilion for a life-and-death battle post, and they must be extremely confident, that Tianqiong disciple is afraid that he will lose more and win less, and once he loses, the end will be death."

"This matter should not involve me, I just checked the identity of this person for the Hua family"

Thinking of this, Pei Shan said to the official of the Ministry of Rites: "If the letter sent by Hua Xiong is burned, there is no need to send him the news, I will also greet the official whose identity you asked, and tell them to shut up, once that Tianqiong disciple dies in the Martial Pavilion, this matter will make a big fuss, and if someone asks, we have never received this letter, and there is no such thing!"

The first thing Pei Shan thought about at this time was to draw a clear line with Hua Xiong, so as not to implicate himself in the future, and secretly thought to himself in his heart that he could find a reason to send everyone who knew about this matter, including the person in front of him, to send the Emperor Capital together, and it was best to let them die in the battle of the Zuo Dao monks on the road

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished ordering everything, the official of the Ministry of Rites cried even more and said, "My lord, I'm afraid it's too late."

"This morning, Hua Xiong sent someone to send another letter, and the arbitrator he proposed to Wu Ge is you, my lord."

"He asked the adults to come and watch the battle"

At this time, Pei Shan's eyes were dark, and he almost fainted, and the official of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"My lord, what can I do now?"

Pei Shan was so angry that he couldn't speak, and only after a while did he say angrily: "Quickly send someone to prepare the carriage, I will leave the inner city immediately!"

"I'll go directly to the Martial Pavilion, you go to the Hua family, you must stop this life-and-death fight!"

Seeing that the official of the Ministry of Rites was still stunned, Pei Shan was so angry that he kicked him.

"Don't go yet!"

"Yes, yes!

After he went out, Pei Shan, a member of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't help but scold.

"Hua Ansheng, Hua Ansheng, why don't you stop when you die, and you still want to leave a seed of evil to continue to harm me!" (To be continued.) )
