Chapter 244: The People's Heart

"Still won't accept my apology?"

After splitting half of the stone platform, Ye Tianlong walked to the other side of the stone platform without looking back, carrying the gun on his shoulder. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and the "dragon breath" momentum swept by the Nan Qiushui, quickly ran out of the autumn water and ice, chasing Ye Tianlong, still talking to Ye Tianlong in his mouth.

She walked in such a hurry that she forgot to untie the autumn water.

Staring at the smooth stone platform fracture, Xiao Yun swallowed. To be built by the Yanhua Empire as a test platform for martial arts test venues, the hardness of these rocks must be extraordinary.

After the first two rounds of fighting, there have been no cracks on the ground of the three-story stone platform. Of the hundreds of competitions, only a few broke the stone pillars on the side of the field, which shows the firmness of the stone platform.

However, Ye Tianlong actually split it directly!

Compared to Liu Sanfeng's Demon Realm, Shen Tuhui's Huangquan Blood Sword, and Nan Qiushui's Autumn Water Condensation Ice, although Ye Tianlong's momentum was not large, there was no doubt that the effect he created was the most amazing.

"How do I resist this? dodge, or do I carry it?"

Xiao Yun was shocked, but found that he seemed to have no countermeasures.

If you want to dodge, but the dragon's breath is too fast, it doesn't require a long gathering phase like other tricks, Ye Tianlong waved it down casually, and the dragon's breath was handed out. If it weren't for Ye Tianlong changing direction, Nan Qiushui would never have been able to dodge.

Nan Qiushui can't dodge it, can Xiao Yun successfully avoid it?

If you want to carry it hard, although Xiao Yun's body is strong, this slash of the Tongmai Realm has been split in half. No matter how strong the flesh is, can it be harder than King Kong Rock? Eight Extremes Qingyan Fist, Seven Sword Techniques? Xiao Yun listed his techniques one by one, but none of them could reach the power of fighting against the dragon's breath.

Dragon's breath, it's impossible for me to take it.

Even if he was unwilling, Xiao Yun still came to the right conclusion.

"You're almost twenty years old, aren't you?" Ye Tianlong, who was carrying the gun, paused, but did not look back. He looked up at the eastern sky and asked in a deep voice, obviously talking to Nan Qiushui who was chasing after him.

"Huh?" Ye Tianlong stopped, Nan Qiushui was slightly happy, but the other party's question came strangely, and she was stunned for a while.

"In the past twenty years, there are not a thousand people who have been defeated under you, but also eight hundred, right?" Ye Tianlong's next words dispelled Nan Qiushui's doubts, "For everyone who has been defeated under you, will you tell them that you are sorry?"

"No, you're the only one. Nan Qiushui replied almost reflexively.

Hearing this, Ye Tianlong's spear on his shoulder suddenly trembled. There was silence for a moment before he asked, "Why?"

"Because you are the only one who sticks to your principles and does not give up, loses at the hands of others, but does not fight to the death. And because you were the only one who convinced me and changed my opinion. Of all the opponents I've met, you're the only one who can truly be remembered. ”

"Friends? We can't be friends. Ye Tianlong sighed slightly, "I couldn't do it three years ago, and I still can't do it three years later." ”

"Why can't it be? Just because I am the county lord of the Nanyang Empire, and you are the prince of the Yanhua Empire?" Nan Qiushui's voice was a little low, and it could be seen that she was also a little angry at Ye Tianlong's ignorance.

"We all have the future of the entire empire on our shoulders, and the reality is so overwhelming that we don't value friendship, but only interests. Ye Tianlong still didn't look back, and said coldly.

"That's what I said to you three years ago, huh. With a sneer, Nan Qiushui's voice was a little sad, "I didn't expect that while I was affected by you, you were also changed by me." ”

For a moment, neither of them spoke. Xiao Yun moved his body through the crowd, paying attention to their conversation.

"We are individuals of the Empire, but we are not slaves of the Empire. It is the right of each and every one of us to live our own lives, whether that person is a prince or a general, or a common man. It was still Nan Qiushui who broke the silence when he spoke again, "This passage was told to me when you were defeated by me three years ago. Now, I give it back to you as it was. ”

"You also said that I was changed. I've already said that I'm not the same person I was three years ago. With his back to Nan Qiushui, Nan Qiushui couldn't see the change in Ye Tianlong's expression.

"No, you haven't changed! Even though you admit that you have changed, your actions betray you. You didn't kill me, which shows that in your eyes, human life is still as important as ever. The fact that you did not take advantage of others to attack me shows that you are still sticking to your principles. When Nan Qiushui said this, he paused for a long time before affirming, "Therefore, you are still the same Ye Tianlong back then." ”

Ye Tianlong, who sticks to his principles and lives his own life.

Surprisingly, Ye Tianlong did not immediately refute Nan Qiushui's words.

After waiting on the side for a while, when the other cultivators began to challenge again, Xiao Yun heard Ye Tianlong speak: "You go." ”

Let's go. The three words were short, but Xiao Yun could hear them, and these three words contained many of Ye Tianlong's emotions. Ye Tianlong didn't say what he would do if he met him again in the next competition, nor did he say what he thought of Nan Qiushui's words.

After saying these three words, Ye Tianlong raised his steps again and walked towards the crowd, his back carrying the gun was even taller under the shadow of the sun.

It's just that Xiao Yun saw a lot of loneliness from that back.

The loneliness of the Emperor Yoshiko.

The loneliness of the Frontier Spear Saint.

Ye Tianlong's loneliness.

Also looking at Ye Tianlong's distant back, Nan Qiushui laughed, she clenched her fists, and hummed unconvinced: "Hmph, still pretend to be with me, the moment you took away the dragon breath slash, I knew that you were still the Ye Tianlong I knew." ”

After saying that, she also turned around and began to look for a challenge target on the first stone platform.

The sun is setting in the west, and time is running out for the contestants.

For some people whose grades are not satisfactory, they slowly began to gamble.

Bet on the winner or loser.

Bet on someone else's state.

Only by making the right bet will these guys be able to move up the rankings again before the end of the second round.

In the second round of the Shenzhou Martial Arts Association, the team rating is nearing the end.

But I believe everyone has also discovered that the so-called team rating is just a name. Most of the powerhouses are still used to going alone, so far, Liu Sanfeng, Ye Tianlong, Nan Qiushui, etc. have not teamed up.

And the cultivators who formed the team were all cultivators who were not confident in their own strength. Their own strength is not too strong, and if they don't have confidence, they will inevitably be afraid in team battles, so until now, there are almost no teams that can perform well in team battles.

On the contrary, it is Ye Tianlong and others who are more eye-catching.

"Your Majesty. Just as Murong Bo was shifting his energy to the field again, another soldier looked like a man hurriedly walked behind the throne.

Say. The tightened eyebrows have not been stretched, and at this time, someone came up again, Murong Bo expected that nothing good would happen, so his eyebrows were tightened.

"The soldiers patrolling the city came with news that there had been a murder in the outer city. ”

"Killing?The Yanhua Empire has people dying every day, and people are killed almost every moment, does this kind of trivial matter also need me to deal with?" Hearing Murong Bo's breath, he was already a little irritable. He hadn't figured out the robbery of the prison yet, and he hadn't made a way to deal with it, and at this time, an ordinary murder incident also came to report to him, and he was naturally very dissatisfied.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized that his emotions were wrong, and since the soldier directly ascended the high platform to report to himself, then this situation must not be as simple as ordinary killing. After thinking about it, Murong Bo made up his mind.

"There are five farming families in the east and south of the city, and the elderly in the family stayed in the house due to their limited mobility, but all of them died tragically at home. When Murong Bo's anger subsided, the soldier continued to bend down to report.

"Did you come into contact with the murderer?"

"No, when the patrol soldiers arrived, they only saw corpses every time. Murderer...... The murderer either knows our route to patrol the city, or ...... Or it's a cultivator who is not weak. The soldier paused slightly, because he had also listened to the report of his subordinates and had not been present in person, so there were still many uncertainties that had not been mentioned.

"Cultivator?" Hearing this, Murong Bo realized that it was not simple, and when he saw that the Heavenly Prison had been "ransacked" not long ago, he had a faint premonition. waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to retreat first.

But after this soldier, in just a quarter of an hour, three more soldiers came to pay their respects.

Without exception, it's all about killings.

A little counting shows that in the past quarter of an hour, three people died in the east of the city, two people in the south of the city, and a group of merchants on the outskirts of the north of the city, a total of eighteen people, were killed.

As the report says, it's not just a killing.

"Newspaper. ”

Say. For the soldiers who came more and more frequently, Murong Bo also felt a little headache.

"The families of the deceased in the audience all learned of their deaths, and they all seemed to have clashed with the patrol soldiers. And spread some uncomfortable remarks everywhere, for the rule of the empire...... Quite a bit of a whisper. ”

Nodding, Murong Bo did not speak. He took out a golden post from his arms, which was the joint complaint post of Kyushu and Jiuguo: "I just squeezed out your cultivators, are you in such a hurry to give me an army?"

The development of the situation slowly exceeded expectations, and Murong Bo finally opened the appeal post, only to see a paragraph written in the middle of the post, and below the post was the twelve words "Nine major states and states jointly appealed, and the emperor was personally enlightened".

Looking at the content of the post, Murong Bo read out lightly: "Emperor Murong, the envoys of the nine countries of Kyushu, a total of twenty people, raised objections to the changes made by your country to the rules of the conference. The ranking of the team greatly violated the fundamental principle of fairness of the conference, so the joint appeal was respected. ”

There is not much content in the post, but Murong Bo wasted a lot of time reading it.

He needs to carefully pout the meaning of each word and make sure that there is no rest of the subtext behind the sentence. Based on the fairness of the conference, the complaint pointed out that the nine states did not agree with the change in the rules of the conference.

"A group of old guys, don't they just want to find face for the contestants in their own country?" Although he knew that this situation was inevitable now, but when it really developed, Murong Bo felt a little unreal.

It is expected that there will be no trouble such as the robbery of the prison.

If the incident of dead people inside and outside the imperial city cannot be stopped in time, and it is allowed to develop like this, it will inevitably cause chaos among the people, which is not a good thing for him Murong Bo.

O people's hearts......

Murong Bo clamped his forehead, and he was no longer interested in the competition in the martial arts test venue.
