Su Bairen, the city guard, deliberately came to Shi Ziling and said: "Shi Gongzi, no, it should be General Shi, you can fight to a draw with Fairy Ye, it really greatly boosts the morale and military prestige of our Songhu City defenders." ”

"After this battle, there will definitely be a lot of big financial and businessmen who are willing to provide more financial and material support for our Songhu City, so that the strength of our Songhu City in all aspects will be greatly strengthened. ”

"Okay, very good, I will definitely report your ability to the imperial court to see if I can promote your position. Songhu City has a talent like you in the army, it is really a blessing for the people, who will dare to underestimate our Songhu City defenders in the future. ”

Shi Ziling was embarrassed by Su Bairen's praise, and said humbly: "Lord Su has won the award, Shi Ziling is just a fluke to break into a little fame, and the prosperity and wealth of Songhu City are all due to the leadership of Lord Su." Now that I have joined the garrison, I will do my best for the progress and growth of Songhu City in the future......"

At this time, Duanmu Hong also came over and said, "Brother Shi, I really didn't misunderstand you, when Ma Yu recommended you to me, I thought you would be a talent." The last time I was in the martial arts arena, I saw that your strength was extraordinary. ”

"In today's battle, Fairy Ye even used the master's stunt 'True Yuan Sword', which is an invincible peerless skill in Wei Zhenyu, but you still won the gamble. I'm deeply relieved that our Duanmu family can discover a talent like you......"

Su Bairen said: "The Duanmu family master really has a unique vision, and has recommended such outstanding talents for the defenders of Songhu City, with the support of General Shi and the Duanmu family, our Songhu City will definitely be very optimistic about the future." ”

Shi Ziling wondered in his heart, secretly thinking that from what he heard, Duanmu Hong didn't seem to attach much importance to himself, and his recommendation to participate in the selection of deputy generals was mainly the result of the Ma family's strong recommendation, why did it become his unique insight now in his mouth?

But after all, the Duanmu family and the Ma family and the Yu family are now on the same front, everyone is the backbone of Songhu City, and Shi Ziling naturally can't refute it in person, so he has to smile and don't say anything.

Su Bairen said: "Just now I saw the head of the Nangong family talking to you very happily, and he seems to be very optimistic about you. ”

Shi Ziling said: "Nangong senior asked me to drink in Deyue Tower tomorrow, he is well-informed, and I also have some things I want to ask him for." ”

Su Bairen nodded and said: "The Nangong family is one of the five great families on the same level as the Duanmu family, they have deep roots in the south and are quite powerful, I heard that they have been recruiting troops in recent years. ”

"Ziling, if you can, you might as well have a relationship with him, the current world is indeed full of chaos, the so-called one more enemy is better than one more friend, if we can establish friendship with the Nangong family, it is also a very good thing for the stability and security of our Songhu City and even the entire east. ”

Shi Ziling said: "I am only a beginner with Nangong seniors, and I don't know if Lu Dao can talk. However, Lord Su can rest assured, as long as it is beneficial to the people of Songhu City and the east, Shiziling will definitely take it to heart. ”

Su Bairen appreciated Shi Ziling's humble attitude very much, and praised him a few words before returning home with several officials.

Duanmu Hong originally wanted to invite Shi Ziling to drink and celebrate, but when he heard that he had already made an appointment with Nangong Xia, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

Their five great families have always been fighting openly and secretly, and no one buys anyone's account. Although Duanmu Hong also understood that what Su Bairen said was reasonable, he was always a little uncomfortable in his heart, so after casually inviting Shi Ziling to his house for dinner, he also went downstairs.

After saying goodbye to Huang Ying, Shi Ziling and Ma Yu Yuwei also left Tongle Fang together.

Yu Wei said as he walked: "Ziling, should we go somewhere to celebrate, how about we find a place to have a drink?"

Shi Ziling shook his head and said: "What is there to celebrate, in fact, the battle between me and Fairy Ye is at most a win-win game, I just won this gamble by good luck." ”

Yu Wei didn't believe it at all, and asked: "Then how can it be such a coincidence, you only win and lose three games by one point? Also, the game you won the last game, why did you win at nine points?"

Shi Ziling said: "Do you bet on the size, she opened eight o'clock and I opened nine o'clock, of course I won." ”

Yu Wei said angrily: "If you don't say it, I'll ask Fairy Ye to go when I have a chance in the future." ”

Shi Ziling raised his face and said, "You still dare to say that I haven't settled accounts with you yet! You talked nonsense about me and Xiao Hui practicing together, and even Nangong Xia heard it. If you say this in front of so many people, what will others think when they hear it, I'm almost mad at you!"

When Yu Wei heard that he knew that he was wrong, he hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

Ma Yu said with a smile: "No matter what, we won after all, and we won after Fairy Ye used the master's peerless 'True Yuan Sword'." I believe that after this battle, the name of your Shiziling will definitely spread all over the country, and among the young generation of masters today, except for a few people such as Xiahou Feiyang and Li Xiaoyao, who have been famous for a long time, there should be few people who can have such a resounding reputation as you. ”

Shi Ziling said: "The power of Fairy Ye's 'True Yuan Sword' is indeed beyond my expectations, and I still can't raise my strength when the True Yuan is scattered." That's why I asked you to hurry up and go home with me, you all know the truth, Chen Gongzhao sent a killer to assassinate me last time. ”

Hearing him say this, Ma Yu and Yu Wei were startled, and the two couldn't help but get nervous.

Ma Yu said: "Chen Gongzhao is also present today, I don't know how he will feel after seeing your performance, I think, he probably won't be so bold to dare to provoke you again." ”

Shi Ziling said: "It's hard to say, but I guess he either won't make a move, and if he makes another move, the people sent will definitely be more powerful than last time." ”

Yu Wei doesn't think anything about it, Ma Yu has been dealing with the Chen family for many years, and naturally knows that Chen Gongzhao's character will never give up. Hearing what Shi Ziling said, he suddenly felt that he could not take it lightly, and hurriedly took precautions.

Fortunately, nothing thrilling happened along the way, and the three of them returned to Yu's house safely.

The Yu family had already received the news of Shi Ziling's victory, in fact, this gambling battle between Shi Ziling and Ye Zhenzhen caused a sensation in the whole city, and everyone was concerned about this matter. When the victory and defeat on the "proud building" were separated, the news spread rapidly in the whole city almost immediately, and the Yu family immediately prepared good wine and food after receiving the news, just waiting for Shi Ziling to come back to celebrate him.

At this time, as soon as they saw the three of them coming back, the Yu family immediately set up a banquet, and everyone took turns to toast to Shiziling.

After Shi Ziling drank three cups, he said that after the battle with Ye Zhenzhen, his meridians were shocked, and he needed to go back to the room to breathe, so he went back to the backyard to find Xiaohui alone.

Everyone had no choice but to pester Ma Yu and Yu Wei to let the two of them talk more about today's battle situation.

Yu Weiden came to his senses, rolled up his sleeves, and began to talk endlessly.

Shi Ziling came to the backyard, at this time his true yuan and spiritual power had recovered, although he still needed to breathe, but thinking that Xiao Hui and Yu Yulan must be waiting for him, he decided to go and see them first.

Sure enough, Yu Yulan and Xiao Hui came out early to welcome him into the room, and the wine and food had already been prepared in the room of the two, Xiao Hui said with a spring breeze on her face: "Congratulations to Gongzi on his victory, I heard that even Lord Shousu and the head of the Duanmu family have praised you." ”

Shi Ziling said: "I just won the gamble by luck, in fact, Fairy Ye's strength is indeed extraordinary, only in terms of martial arts attainments, I did not have the upper hand." ”

Yu Yulan said: "The son is too modest. Although I was not at the scene, in my opinion, even if Childe failed to gain the upper hand in the martial arts competition, since he won this high-profile gamble, it was enough to show Childe's strength. After all, there are a few people who can rely on luck to win the bet with Ye Zhenzhen. ”

Xiao Hui said: "I guess Childe must have used the spiritual power of the ninth layer of 'Soul Dementorship**' to make that Ye Zhen really mess up, and finally lost under Childe's hands." ”

Shi Ziling shook his head slightly, and said: "You also underestimate Fairy Ye, her 'Heart of the Sword Dao' seems to be completely unafraid of my 'Dementor**', and my magic sound and magic eye have almost no effect on herself." ”

Xiao Hui and Yu Yulan were surprised when they heard this, in their opinion, the power of the ninth layer "Soul Dementor" was almost unimaginable, how could it be useless to Ye Zhenzhen?

Shi Ziling saw their puzzled expressions and explained: "Maybe martial arts do have the so-called mutual reciprocity, and maybe Caiyunxuan's mental method is not easy to be interfered with by our 'soul dementoring**'." ”

"Besides, my 'Dementor **' has just entered the ninth layer realm, and the heat is still shallow, I didn't use my full strength after trying a few times with poor results, but in the second game, I used the illusion generated by magic power to avoid the interception of Ye Fairy's palm power and won a game for myself. ”

"Winning this game gives me a lot of confidence. Speaking of which, thanks to Xiao Hui who has accompanied me for the past ten days to double cultivate, not only has my spiritual power broken through the ninth layer realm, but more importantly, my true yuan power and magic power have greatly improved. Otherwise, I would definitely not be able to stop her 'True Yuan Sword' today. ”

"True Yuan Sword?"

Yu Yulan said in surprise: "I once heard Master say that the ultimate of the way of the sword is to be able to refine the invisible True Yuan into a tangible sword, and wherever it goes, it is invincible, and any blade is vulnerable in front of the 'True Yuan Sword'. ”

"Legend has it that only a limited number of great masters in the world can perform such a stunt, but I didn't expect Ye Zhenzhen to have practiced to such a high level at a young age, no wonder Gongzi said that he failed to gain the upper hand. ”

Shi Ziling nodded and said, "The power of the True Yuan Sword is indeed amazing, but fortunately, Fairy Ye should only be a beginner. The shape of the 'True Yuan Sword' she issued is very small, it is estimated that the heat is still shallow, and it is a shame that I also used all my strength to reluctantly take this sword. ”

"That's it, the meridians of my whole body are still violently shaken, and even my spiritual power and magic power can't be gathered normally. ”

Xiao Hui and Yu Yulan were stunned when they heard this, and hurriedly asked Shi Ziling if there was anything wrong, Shi Ziling said: "Now I feel a lot better, I guess if I do a little pranayama before going to bed, it should be fine, you don't have to worry." ”

Yu Yulan said: "Then let's not drink, lest we drink badly." It's better to let Xiaohui accompany her son back to the room immediately, you should recover a little faster. ”

Xiao Hui ignored her shyness, and said anxiously: "That's it, Childe still let me serve you to go back to the room to breathe." ”

Shi Ziling smiled: "I said it's okay, you don't have to worry." Today's battle is very inspiring to me, it turns out that the true element can still be used in this way. ”

"I've been obsessed with the cultivation of 'Dementor **' for a while now, ignoring the integration and breakthrough of my own True Yuan, perhaps, if I want to go further in the future, in addition to perfecting the 'Dementor **' of the ninth layer, it is also a way to readjust my True Yuan cultivation method. ”.

"Besides, the dual cultivation of joint nationality is not omnipotent, take Xiaohui as an example, although her skills have improved by leaps and bounds, if she wants to go to the next level, she still needs to break through and forge ahead through her own independent efforts, so that she can truly improve her realm. ”

Xiao Hui smiled: "I'm already very satisfied with my current realm, after Gongzi helped me get through the second vein of Ren Du, not to mention that my spiritual power immediately went up to a higher level, even the true yuan power I have reached a point that I didn't dare to think of before." Now I'm full of energy, I'm really afraid I'm dreaming. ”

Yu Yulan said: "Xiao Hui's progress in the past ten days has really scared me a lot, and now her true yuan cultivation has far surpassed mine, and it is estimated that no one in our Yu family is her opponent except for Gongzi." It's incredible. ”

Xiao Hui said: "Then after Miss's 'Pure Heart Formula' is stable, let Gongzi also have a double cultivation with you." When the time comes, Miss, your skills will also improve by leaps and bounds. ”

Yu Yulan said shyly: "I haven't eaten the 'Ruthless Fruit', and my physique probably doesn't have the benefits of dual cultivation for my son." ”

Shi Ziling said: "Although you don't have a special physique like Xiao Hui, you may not have much breakthrough in the entry of the 'Dementor **', but I think I can still open up your Rendu Second Pulse through the dual cultivation of the joint nationality, and your True Yuan cultivation will definitely be greatly enhanced by then." ”

Xiao Hui clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay, then help Miss get through the second vein of Rendu, so that Miss will be as powerful as that Ye Zhenzhen." ”

Yu Yulan's face was flushed, and she said angrily: "My 'Pure Heart Formula' has not yet succeeded, so you don't want to talk nonsense." Besides, even if that...... The one who has opened up the second vein of Ren Du is impossible to compare with Fairy Ye. I won't tell you, son, you better breathe your body early, Xiaohui, you stay and serve your son well, I'll go back to the room first. ”

Saying that, Yu Yulan shyly went out and went back to the room to rest.

Leaving Xiaohui and Shi Ziling in the room, the two looked at each other and smiled, and hugged each other tightly.
