Chapter 268: The battle has just begun
Escorted by a team of soldiers, Xiao Yun returned to the General's Mansion. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Luo Hu's last two sentences have already shown that he doesn't want Xiao Yun to be involved too much in the next things. Now that Luo Hu knew about Xiao Yun's discovery, then he must have realized the true purpose of this group of murderers.
There were only two days left before the last round of the Shenzhou Martial Arts Association, which was also the most critical round of the conference, and Luo Hu didn't want Xiao Yun to continue to get involved in these things, and delayed his own cultivation. After all, Xiao Yun at this stage is still far from the first championship.
Luo Hu knows this situation, and Xiao Yun himself is also very clear.
Therefore, Xiao Yun did not resist Luo Hu's arrangement, but returned to the General's Mansion in obedience.
For the homicide case in the imperial city, the five tigers of the Locke family took over with all their might.
In the next two days, he knew that he had his own "task" - that is, to improve his strength!
What other states retaliated against the Yanhua Empire, what mutual temptations between the ten states of Kyushu, in the next two days, will have nothing to do with him. The first crown, the first name, is the only one in his eyes.
The wind outside the house shouted, rolling the leaves rustling in the courtyard of the house.
The tree wants to be quiet, and its wind does not stop.
People want to be safe, but their situation is difficult to peace.
......
......
Two days passed quietly like a white horse.
Pushing open the door, Xiao Yun walked into the courtyard. Facing the rising sun, he grinned: "In the first championship battle, I, Xiao Yun, came as scheduled." Sixth-Order Soul Fixing Pill, I, Xiao Yun, will fight him if I say anything today!"
"Looks like you're very motivated. The courtyard door was opened from the outside, and Luo Hu walked in from outside the courtyard with his deep voice.
Xiao Yun took two steps forward and said with a smile: "How can you decline first without a fight?!"
Listening to Xiao Yun's self-agitating words, the corners of Luo Hu's mouth hooked up slightly, and he nodded his head in approval. He looked Xiao Yun up and down, only to feel a mighty aura lingering around this young man.
Two days of penance have brought about such a change in temperament!
Today's Xiao Yun is wearing a one-piece cyan gown, with some simple patterns outlined with golden silk threads on the front of the shirt. Although the pattern is minimalist, it is simple and resolute. Outside the green shirt, he wore a black wind. The green shirt inside, the black coat, and the blue and black are lined with each other, which not only shows the masculinity of young people, but also lacks the maturity and stability of young people.
The black air stirred in the wind, and the robes churned with a fierce sound. Xiao Yun stood in the wind, quite a majestic momentum of a general.
Although Xiao Yun changed his clothes, in Luo Hu's eyes, what attracted him the most was the narrow black iron box on Xiao Yun's back.
In the soft morning sun, the black iron box was shiny. Although it was the color of black ink, it was visible in the daylight, and it was obviously well wiped. The tin box was tied diagonally behind Xiao Yun's back, one end of the box sticking out of his neck, and the other end hanging from his waist.
If it weren't for the simple shape of the iron box, it might be thought to be a sword box.
"Then you mean that it will decay after the war?"
With the morning light on his back, Luo Hu was in a good mood, and joked with Xiao Yun with a smile.
Xiao Yun smiled faintly and didn't answer, but he replied in his heart: Can it decay after the war, can I be arbitrary?
"Let's go, the brothers have already left early, and I'm the only one left waiting for you. ”
Noticing Xiao Yun's disguised ease, Luo Hu no longer spoke deeply, but led the way and led Xiao Yun to the Shenzhou Martial Arts venue.
The two of them went to the venue from a special passage in the inner city, which avoided the embarrassment of congestion on the street.
Although it was in the special passage, the voices of the people from the outer city still came in. Even if Xiao Yun didn't come to the outer street in person, he could still imagine the lively scene on the street.
After all, today is the third round of the conference!
The battle for the first crown, the final positioning of the individual, the future of the contestants is at stake...... It all starts today.
While walking, Xiao Yun noticed that Luo Hu's gait was gentle and his expression was relaxed, thinking that the murder case in the imperial capital had made good progress in the past few days. In the past few days, he has not heard anything outside the window, and has been cultivating in the general's mansion wholeheartedly, and he has no understanding of the recent movements of the imperial city.
And Liao Yu and Ning Jing didn't come to the general's mansion to disturb him, probably knowing that he was practicing in "retreat", so it was inconvenient to disturb him.
After thinking about it, Xiao Yun and Luo Hu had already come to the stands of the venue.
The venue of the Shenzhou Martial Arts Association is still the same venue three days ago. It's just that today, the furnishings and layout of this venue are very different from the venues of the previous two rounds of conferences.
Xiao Yun and Luo Hu came up from the Oriental Spiral Ladder this time and arrived at the highest Oriental Audience Stage. On the east platform, the stone tables and stone benches that used to be neatly arranged have now been removed. The stone tables and stools, which were originally intended for the envoys of the nations, have now been removed, and it seems that the envoys and ministers of the rest of the states will not be placed on this highest side.
Instead of stone tables and stone benches, there are three rows of nanmu benches. Each row of benches is about two feet long, and more than ten people can sit. In front of the three rows of Nanmu chairs, Emperor Murong Bo's throne was still in place, and the seats on both sides of the throne had not moved.
In other words, the guests of Tianji Pavilion and Xia Yu are still sitting at the same table as the emperor.
Guiding Xiao Yun, Luo Hu sat on the first row of Nanmu chairs. There, the other four brothers of the Luo family had already sat down, Xiao Yun glanced at it, and saw Du Yu, Ling Heng, Qian Ji, the three elders of the Alchemist Guild, and the chief soldier of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion were all listed.
In this way, in the third round of this conference, the highest eastern seats were all the big names of the Yanhua Empire. Where, then, were the envoys of the rest of the states placed?
As soon as he asked this question, Xiao Yun's gaze swept to the south, west, and north stone platforms.
Today's three-party auditorium is obviously more than twice as wide as the one three days ago.
The stone platform on the third floor, which served as the venue for the second round, has now been raised to the same height as the spectator seats, which is in contact with the south, north, and west spectator seats, and the spectator seats have been expanded. At the front of the south, north, and west auditoriums, eighteen sets of stone tables and benches are symbolically placed in sequence. On each stone table, there is also a nameplate engraved with "such and such an empire" or "such and such a dynasty".
It turned out that except for the Yanhua Empire, the envoys of other states were "invited" to a relatively short audience.
Although this change in position is nothing in the eyes of ordinary people, in the eyes of the high-level officials of the Yanhua Empire and the envoys of the major states, it is an indication of a great crisis.
Due to the elevation of the stone platform on the third floor, after becoming an auditorium, the number of spectators that can be accommodated in the entire Shenzhou martial arts venue has tripled. But looking at the current situation, it seems that there is still a shortage of spectator seats.
In the third round of the conference, from the counties and cities of the Yanhua Empire to the various states and countries, a large number of people and cultivators who wanted to increase their knowledge would choose to come to the Imperial Capital today.
They could have missed the previous two rounds of the conference, but they would never tolerate missing the third round of the conference, the final round!
The Yanhua Empire obviously expected it, so the design of the entire venue took into account the popularity of this third round.
After sweeping the audience, Xiao Yun's eyes focused on the center of the venue.
The original two-tiered stone platform remains the same.
It's just that on the ring platform, which was originally used as the second layer of stone platform, dozens of Nanmu chairs are placed in turn along the platform ring. On the back of each chair are already carved capital numbers. Directly below the throne in the east, the number on the back of the Nanmu chair starts with "Er", which increases in order in a counterclockwise direction, and the last Nanmu chair is engraved with the number "Wanton", indicating that only forty-nine people can sit on these chairs.
The top forty-nine are undoubtedly the top forty-nine in the competition, and they are eligible to sit here.
Huh, why did it start with two? After scanning them one by one, Xiao Yun noticed that the number engraved on the back of the Nanmu chair directly below the throne was a capital "two". From the second onwards, doesn't that mean that the first crown of the conference will not be located here?
Putting aside his doubts for a while, Xiao Yun continued to observe the layout of the venue.
On the original second layer of stone platform, there are forty-eight nanmu chairs at this time. Forty-eight chairs, surrounded by an arc, fill the second stone platform.
This stone platform is also raised, but not like the third stone platform.
It is only one zhang higher, slightly lower than the original third layer of stone platform, but more than half a zhang higher than the original first layer of stone platform. In this way, the entire venue is on the lowest level of the first stone platform, and the surrounding audience seats are higher than one seat. Among them, the Oriental VIP table is the most high.
In addition, Xiao Yun also noticed that in the very center of the entire circular venue, there was a stone tower with a thick bottom and a thin top. The amethyst screen at the top of the stone tower had been lowered by one zhang at this time, so that on the huge amethyst screen, that is, the very tip of the entire stone tower, there was only one platform left.
If you look closely, the platform is the same height as the throne in the east, and it occupies one of the two most eye-catching places in the entire venue.
On the platform, facing the throne, a rosewood chair sits along.
Xiao Yun noticed that this sandalwood chair was a little taller than ordinary wooden chairs. In particular, when the sun shines on it, the sun's rays are reflected in the purple color, creating a luxurious gesture. Inside and outside the venue, I am afraid that except for the seat under Murong Bo, this rosewood chair is the most respected.
Of course, there is a reason for reverence.
The carved dragon and phoenix-like "one" character on the back of the chair shows its dignity.
"See the Holy One!"
Just when Xiao Yun had an understanding of the overall layout, all the people cheered in unison.
Before he could figure out the situation, he was pulled off his seat by Luo Hu next to him, and then forcibly pressed to his knees. It was only then that he understood that it was Murong Bo who had arrived.
Kneeling on the ground with his head bowed, Xiao Yun only felt a few shadows pass in front of him one after another. Immediately afterwards, Murong Bo's laughter came: "Everyone, flat!"
Hearing this, tens of thousands of people in the audience got up together.
"Triennial, the Shenzhou Conference. Half moon grand event, once won the championship. Murong Bo's gaze swept over the tens of thousands of people in the audience, and he looked at the seats of the envoys of the eighteen states at the front of the audience for a moment, and finally smiled lightly, "After the first two rounds of competition, the final round of the much-anticipated battle finally came to an end today. ”
After speaking, the applause was thunderous.
It's not because of how wonderful Murong Bo's speech was, but because of the final event that is about to open.
"You think this is the last round of the conference. With a wave of the holy hand, the audience was solemn, and Murong Bo said slowly, "And what I want to tell you is ......"
"The real battle has just begun!" tens of thousands of people shouted this last sentence in unison.
