Chapter 4: Lonely Clouds Rise in Autumn

The long sword passed directly through the firelight, and Xingqiu found that he didn't feel the collision of hand-to-hand combat, so he hurriedly held the long sword in his hand and swung it downward.

"Bang-"

Hongyun, who failed in the sneak attack, hurriedly blocked and retreated, and the faint fire light on the blade swung towards Xingqiu again to block the latter's pursuit.

It's just that Xingqiu directly ignored Hongyun's sword, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Hongyun's chest, with the momentum of exchanging your arm for your life.

This forced Hongyun to quickly withdraw his long sword, blocking Xingqiu's attack, and then took a few steps back, looking at the blade across his neck.

Raising his head to look at Xingqiu with a smile on his face, Hongyun couldn't help gritting his teeth and said, "You're crazy!" It's just a joust! ”

"I don't even have the momentum of this kind of fighting, what kind of sword do you practice?"

Xingqiu listened to the voice announcing his victory not far away, put away his long sword, and continued to speak with a smile: "You need to learn the style of those heroes in the novel. ”

"Humph!"

Hearing this, Hongyun turned around and left the venue quickly.

Xingqiu looked at Hongyun's back, shrugged his shoulders casually, and turned around and walked in the direction of Chongyun.

"What a strange way to play."

Ke Qing, who had been staring at Xingqiu's battle, tilted his head slightly after watching the whole game, and said with some doubts: "His swordsmanship is a little strange, it seems that he deliberately does not play cards according to the routine." ”

"I've read too many martial arts novels, and I've already put myself into it."

Qing couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and continued to speak: "But the way to play that can win is a good way to play, isn't it?" ”

"That's true."

Ke Qing nodded slowly, then sighed a little helplessly, and continued to speak: "It would be nice if all these powerful people came to join the Millelith Army, the sword that I borrowed from the Sword God senior last time has only handed over three stalks so far." ”

Doing the work of land management and having the heart of military management, Qing who was sitting next to him couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Turning his head to look at Ningguang on the right, who was holding a notebook, intently recording things on it.

Feeling the gaze coming from the left, Ningguang didn't raise his head, and continued to draw something with a pen, and at the same time said: "It's not a good habit to snoop on the office. ”

"The real secrets you're going to deal with here?"

Qing pursed his lips with disdain, looked at the new group of martial arts competitions that had begun in the venue, and couldn't help asking, "What?" Lord Ningguang, do you think the martial arts conference is not interesting? ”

"I'm not interested in martial arts."

Ningguang continued the movements in his hand, his gaze never shifted, and said: "People who only think about martial arts all day long have no future after all. ”

Beidou, who was sitting on the very edge, couldn't help frowning when he heard this, turned his head and glanced at Ningguang, and continued to look at the game on the field.

This made Qing couldn't help but be a little speechless, and then turned his head to look at Keqing and Hu Tao on the left.

Keqing was also watching the competition below, and occasionally sighed because of the performance below.

As for Hu Tao, she was still holding the wooden box, continuing to think about her advertising career, occasionally picking up a pen to record her inspiration.

Just as Qing was about to open his mouth to continue talking, he suddenly saw the staircase not far away, and Eula was walking up slowly.

Turning around again, Qing looked at Ningguang, who was still working, and couldn't help but ask, "The Wave Knight of Mondstadt is here, aren't you going to receive the reception?" ”

"The current Wave Knight probably doesn't want me to talk to her."

Ningguang glanced at Eula's direction, and continued to speak: "I'll leave it to you to receive it, this is your job today." ”

Qing Wenyan couldn't help frowning, and retorted: "I am a person under Lord Yuhengxing. ”

"The Jade Pavilion is responsible for the work scheduling of everyone in the Moon Sea Pavilion."

Ningguang suddenly stopped writing, raised his head to look at Qing, and continued to speak: "It looks like you want to try it at another position?" ”

"No need, I'll do whatever the leader says."

Qing hurriedly waved his hand, reached out and patted Keqing's little hand, got up and walked towards Eula, who was sitting behind.

When Eula saw Qing coming, she couldn't help but glance at the direction of Keqing and Hu Tao, and said, "I heard that Mr. Qing has been promoted, congratulations." ”

"The salary has not changed, at most it is flat."

Qing smiled and shook his head, sat next to Eula, and continued to ask, "How is it?" How many are you playing? ”

"I went to check the schedule, and you didn't sign up for this martial arts tournament at all."

Eula looked at Qing coldly, and asked, "You lied to me, I will keep this hatred in mind." ”

Looking at Eula with an indifferent face, Qing couldn't help but feel a little helpless, and replied: "Then you really wronged me, I am now a special guest and will appear in the finals." ”

"Special guests? Final? ”

Eula couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and said with disbelief on her face: "I think the credibility of this sentence is not as good as the allocation of the interests of your Heavenly Power Star Lord. ”

"I'm not an immortal, and it would be unfair to participate directly."

Qing sighed helplessly, smiled and continued, "After all, Liyue pays attention to the spirit of a contract, so she can't help but be fair, right?" So Big Sister Beidou asked me to be this special guest and play again in the finals. ”

Eula's brows furrowed slightly when she heard this, and she asked a question that she really couldn't figure out, and said, "How do I feel that any person knows your identity as an immortal?" ”

This question is very heart-wrenching for Qing, and he wants to know the answer to be reasonable.

Looking at Qing, who didn't know how to answer, Eula didn't continue to ask, and changed the topic: "My appearance is still behind, and it happened that the Millelith Army invited me to come to the high platform, so I came over." ”

"No wonder, I thought you had just come from the port."

Qing nodded lightly, and then continued to ask, "Among the knights you brought, have anyone else signed up?" ”

"A few people signed up for the tournament without the Vision."

Eula, leaning back in her chair, continued to speak, "After all, you can't come all the way to Liyue and do nothing, and you will be left with regrets when you return to Mondstadt like this." ”

"That's right."

Qing understands this sentiment, after all, they also want to earn face on behalf of Mondstadt.

Eula, with her eyes fixed on the center of the room, continued, "Liyue's martial customs are indeed good, but Mondstadt's is indeed a little lax compared to them. ”

"After all, it is a free city, and everyone is more free and easy in their hearts."

Qing chuckled and looked up, if you didn't count the involvement of the gods, Mondstadt was indeed a huge gap to Liyue in terms of strength on paper.

Perhaps this gap can only be filled by Mondstadt's best forces, a certain Spark Knight who is in confinement.

And Eula on the side shook her head lightly when she heard this, her expression was serious, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
