In the evening, a young man in white with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, holding a long sword, appeared outside the Los Angeles Gate with a smile and a burden.

With one hand on his waist and the other on his forehead, he looked at the tightly knit city gate, his eyebrows raised, revealing a puzzled look.

He waved to the little disciple standing guard on the city wall and shouted, "Hey, little brother, can you open the door and let you go?" ”

The little disciple's body did not move at all, and he only threw him an indifferent look when he heard the sound.

The young man in white suddenly felt like a great enemy, he hugged his head, and became exaggerated and anxious: "He doesn't even know me? Could it be that Los Angeles has been captured by other tribes and has changed its appearance? The Bai family is still there, but my Lan Lan is still okay? Tears welled up in his eyes, and he lay on the gate and wept bitterly, slamming the door and calling out the names of those he thought were important.

At this time, a person who looked like a butler came down from the city gate, and immediately recognized the young man who was spreading wild outside the city gate, and said in surprise: "Young Master Bai, you are finally back, and the old slave has been waiting here for a long time." ”

Bai Tan looked up pitifully at his housekeeper with tears in his eyes.

The housekeeper smiled awkwardly, thinking to himself that he had been out for more than a year, how could he still look so worthless.

When the young master of the Bai family returned from searching for his history, he immediately ordered to open the city gate. The housekeeper hurriedly came down from the city tower, took the young master's burden, greeted him with a smile, and greeted him with a smile.

After a year, Bai Tan walked on the streets of Los Angeles, feeling that it was far from the lively scene when he left, and it seemed to be much more depressed. He wanted to ask the butler about these strange things, but a figure greeted him, and the refreshing fragrance of gardenia flowers hit his face, and when he saw his appearance, he was stunned for a moment.

As he passed by the man, he stiffened, as if he was being squeezed by a tight force, making him unable to move.

He turned his head to observe his tall back, and muttered solemnly, "This person ......"

The housekeeper noticed that his expression was wrong, and hurriedly answered: "What's the matter, young master?" ”

Bai Tan: "This person...... He's handsome. ”

“……”

Butler: "Young master, let's hurry home, the old lady is looking forward to it." ”

Bai Tan raised his hand, "Don't worry, before that, I want to go to Jinyun Academy first." ”

The housekeeper was relieved, so he accompanied him to the academy to win the card. On the shelf, his name tag has been placed for the longest time, and has accumulated a thin layer of ash. He saw Jinyunlan's name tag hanging not far away, and gently stroked her name, "It's really unfortunate that she's not here." ”

The housekeeper stopped talking, and his face was embarrassed.

After Bai Tan took the sign away, he went to the autumn test registration office again. He will choose to return at this moment in order to participate in the competition held by the academy, show the results of his cultivation in the past year in front of his family Lan Lan, and then ask to marry her, enter the palace of marriage together, and have a few more children......

He smirked whimsily, pulled out a registration form from his bosom and handed it over.

The person in charge took it, looked at the date on it, and called it back.

Bai Tan suddenly woke up from his sweet dream, and pointed to the date of September 15 above to argue with reason.

The person in charge pushed his finger up to the year and rolled his eyes, "Look, this is last year." ”

Bai Tan woke up like a dream and scratched his cheeks in embarrassment, "Yes, I also planned to participate in the competition last year, but I didn't catch up." ”

The housekeeper sighed secretly beside him, his young master really hasn't grown at all. He stepped forward and sold his old face, "Is it too late to sign up now?" ”

The person in charge muttered weirdly: "It's too late, the Li clan can participate, and there's nothing too late." His hand followed suit, and he found the roster and pen and ink for him to sign in the designated place.

Bai Tan saw the word "Li Yi" next to him before putting down his pen, using a complicated and outdated font, like an old man who eats the ancients. But this surname Li piqued his curiosity.

This surname is taboo in Jinyun.

On the way home, he mentioned it to the butler.

The housekeeper thought that this matter was deeply involved with the eldest lady of Jinyun, and the young master of his family had been concerned about the eldest lady for many years, if he told him the truth at this time, I was afraid that it would disturb his mind. The big game is coming, and he still has to stabilize his emotions.

"Back to the young master's words, it's not a big deal. It's better to prepare for war with peace of mind. You'll know when the contest is over. ”

Bai Tan felt that it was reasonable, so he stopped asking the bottom of the matter, and when he passed by the Jinyun Mansion, he stopped and whispered to the door that was not yet closed.

"Lan Lan, I'm back."

Three days later, the competition was held as usual.

Early in the morning, in the closed city, gongs and drums were noisy, and colorful flags were fluttering, making a touch of eye-catching liveliness in the bleak autumn day.

The fact that Li participated in the competition was deliberately publicized.

The matter of Li's surrender to Jinyun was also made public. However, the clan association has repeatedly stated that Li Clan's surrender to Chengquan was moved by Jinyunlan's gestures of favor and help to them, so they were willing to abandon their previous suspicions and work together.

The people talked about it. Some people believe that this was a last resort for Lai to cover up his murderous acts. There is also a group of people who think that Lai is playing a big game of chess, which is a false surrender. The Jinyun clan will allow the Li clan to enter the city, undoubtedly luring wolves into the house.

However, Jinyun's attitude has become much tougher than the previous obedience of the people who rode on their heads to and pee.

The Jinyun patriarch overrode the public opinion and showed the majesty of the head of the clan. It is solemnly stated that the people of Los Angeles will not be allowed to conduct any more unorganized and undisciplined demonstrations to interfere with the decision-making of the upper echelons, otherwise the leaders will be severely punished, and then the other people will be punished in turn according to the severity of the circumstances. In order to set an example, he caught a few leaders who had been powerful and made waves before, and threw them into a cell and lived for a few days.

For a while, the people had to restrain their arrogance, sit at home, curse secretly but could not make a noise.

At the same time, the people who had successfully escaped from the city ran back to Los Angeles one after another, saying that the world outside was unfair and riots were continuous.

In particular, there are many disasters near Yucheng, and the robbers in the surrounding cottages of Fuguang are rampant, constantly provoking incidents and harming the people.

In this way, the people relented. Los Angeles suddenly became a towering tree that protected them, and they didn't dare to fight against the clan anymore. Instead, I consciously reflected on myself and began to convince myself. I thought that the murder might have been committed by outsiders, and the city gate was closed to protect the city's citizens.

Jinyun has been in power for many years, leading all the clans in the city, behaving justly and impartially, there is no reason to open the back door for the Li family, and I want Miss Jinyun to kneel in public, so tearful and humble begging, it really doesn't seem like a deliberate deception. Maybe there's something hidden in it.

In short, they were still wary of the Li Clan, but for the Jinyun Clan, they were suddenly obedient and almost flattering.

Therefore, on the day of the academy competition, the people also gave enough face and did not make it cold. Before the game even officially began, the stands were full.

Some people sit at home for many days and feel bored to come out to watch the excitement, while others are curious about what kind of terrible face Li Shi looks like when he comes down from the mountain.

In the impression of the people of Los Angeles with false rumors, the Li family is more than a foot tall, full of long hair, and looks like a wild beast.

Therefore, when Li Yi stood silently under the ring and quietly prepared for the match, no one associated this handsome young man with the ugly and murderous Li Shi, but they were attracted by this beautiful face that they had never seen before, and they all guessed which good son he was, and he was so deeply hidden. There is an impermeable wall in Los Angeles, and I haven't heard half of the rumors about him for so many years.

I asked around at the bottom, but none of them said they knew.

Li Yi frowned and swept over the faces in the stands who were very curious about him, listening to the whispers about himself, only feeling noisy.

The gongs and drums sounded in unison, and the first scene, the sword test officially began.

The clan association couldn't wait to see Li Yi's ability, so they deliberately adjusted the order of the game, arranged him in the first place, and opened the game.

Li Yi jumped into the ring with ease, without the slightest excitement or nervousness in the face of his opponent. His face was always as heavy as water, and even in the eyes of his opponents, his cold eyes were full of disdain and contempt for himself, and the anger in his heart was provoked, and he seemed full of energy.

The patriarch's wife came to watch the battle with her little daughter Xiuxiu at this time. The two of them were in suspense for Jinyunlan for many days, but fortunately the patriarch was relieved and informed them of the specific situation. Seeing that the peaks and loops turned, Lan'er's reputation was restored, and the mother and daughter were also a lot more comfortable. Therefore, while going out for a walk today, I also cheered for fellow contestant Jinyun Chong.

Xiuxiu pointed at Li Yi on the stage and was stunned, pulled her mother's sleeve, and asked repeatedly, "Mother, mother, who is this?" Do you know? ”

Madame frowned, held a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from the tip of her nose, the handsome face in front of her was strange to her, but the clothes he was wearing were familiar.

She shook her head regretfully and pulled Xiuxiu to sit down in the hot spectator.

After a burst of intense drumming, the referee's deep and loud voice sounded. After formally explaining the rules and precautions to the contestants and spectators, he waved the flag in his hand and raised his voice.

"Game on!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of gongs and drums followed closely, and every drum beat hit the hearts of the audience, unconsciously rolling everyone present into an urgent atmosphere.

There are two people standing in each round ring, and before the official battle, the players need to stand behind the red line and report their home to their opponents.

"Los Angeles Gao, Gao Procuratorate, please advise." With that, he unceremoniously drew his long sword and pointed it at the ground.

Attention came to Li Yu's side.

He closed his eyes unhurriedly, calmly using his senses, feeling the vividness of everything in heaven and earth at this moment.

The bird flew overhead, and he could faintly hear the flapping of its wings.

The air was filled with the dry smell of sand, gravel and dust, and the scent of osmanthus pouring down from the treetops.

The wind in October is not cold, but when you stroke the hair, it exudes a refreshing but chilling energy, which is really a very suitable season for "roughness".

This is everything beyond the empty mountain, which is something that Jinyunlan has been accustomed to since she was a child.

It's ironic to think about it, it turned out that she was looking for him to be a sparring partner in order to prepare for the fight, but she didn't expect him to stand on the field at this moment.

She had always been the one who had rushed to them without hesitation, and this time it was up to him to ......

He opened his strange eyes. The blue pupils of the eyes were unusually clear and translucent in the morning light.

"Kongshan Li Shi, Li Yu, please advise."
