The voice fell.

There was silence in the square.

Minutes and seconds passed.

I don't know how long it took, but no one left.

Ren Pingsheng looked around, and there was a little emotion in his heart, and a poem couldn't help but appear in his mind...... Do you avoid it because of good and evil?

Seeing that no one was leaving, Emperor Zhaowu was also pleased, looked at Wang Zheng, and instructed: "Wang Zheng, tell them the rules of the competition." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Wang Zheng saluted respectfully, turned his head to look at everyone, and his white and beardless face rarely showed a serious look: "Each side of the competition sent nine monks to participate in the competition, and the cultivation before the competition was not higher than the fourth grade, and the competition was repeated after the game, the loser got off the field, the winner continued, and defeated all the monks of the other party, that is, to win the competition......"

The basic rules are explained in general terms, and then the specific rules are explained in detail.

Including what kind of magic weapons can be used, whether you can summon helpers, and so on.

After speaking three times in a row, after everyone understood, he said slowly: "Today's competition is to select the seven strongest in actual combat from among you.

You rest for a moment, and then according to the rules just now, you will try to compete with each other. ”

As soon as this remark came out.

Everyone was stunned.

"Seven?"

"Shouldn't it be nine?"

Just when they thought the king was mistaken.

He looked around, his eyes fixed on Ren Pingsheng and Mu Rou, and said lightly: "Ren Pingsheng, the prince of Zhenbei, and Mu Rou of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, don't have to participate in the selection, just wait quietly for the competition with the demon clan in seven days." ”

As soon as this remark came out.

The eyes of more than thirty Tianjiao fell on the two of them.

Even the little green tea next to the two of them was like this, with curiosity and doubt in his eyes.

Fighting with the demon clan is a fight for life.

It's not easy to survive.

It's good to win the competition, maybe it will go down in history.

But if you lose the competition, it will be a stench for 10,000 years.

It's not a good job to look at.

Thus.

Everyone didn't have too much criticism of these two "cheaters", but they were just curious about what their specialties were, and they would be directly selected by the emperor.

In fact.

They are not the only ones who are curious, Ren Pingsheng is also curious about why the emperor chose him.

Mu Rou didn't say it for the time being.

Let's just say that I, as the only seven-grade among the people present, in addition to my strong actual combat ability, there is nothing else worth caring about.

Could it be that the emperor thinks that he has won the competition with Ye Xuan, and thinks that when it comes to life and death, he can win the same?

Or...... What secrets are hidden in his body, he doesn't know, but the emperor knows?

I thought about it for a long time, but there was no answer.

Ren Pingsheng simply stopped thinking about it, looked at Jiang Chuyue beside him, reached out and patted her little head, and said half-jokingly: "I will save some effort later, if you are really chosen, see what you do." ”

Jiang Chuyue turned her head to look at him, her eyebrows raised, and the corners of her mouth hooked into a smile: "Is the prince concerned about others?" ”

Ren Pingsheng said lightly: "This son is afraid that something will happen to you, and no one will take care of Chang An." ”

“……”

Jiang Chuyue was stunned, and a smile froze on her face.

After a few breaths, tears gradually accumulated in her eyes, her eyelashes were wet with tears, her body trembled slightly, and she said with a crying voice: "Could it be that people's lives are so cheap in the eyes of the world, and they are not as good as grass mustard?" ”

The choking in his voice made Ren Pingsheng's heart tremble.

"Little green tea, is this serious?"

He subconsciously reached out to wipe away her tears, gently kneaded her smooth and tender face, and coaxed softly: "Just kidding, Miss Chuyue is so beautiful and well-behaved, how can I be willing to ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Chuyue's pretty face flush, and a touch of cunning flashed in her smart and bright eyes.

“……”

Ren Pingsheng felt as if he had been punched in the throat, and his voice stopped abruptly.

"Why didn't the prince say it, he was reluctant to ...... others"

Jiang Chuyue raised her head slightly, her wet eyes looked at Ren Pingsheng, her voice trembled, and she was pitiful.

Ren Pingsheng pinched her face vigorously: "I am reluctant to send you to death." ”

"Woo...... The son of the world is lighter, and the people are so painful. ”

Jiang Chuyue let out a whimper and said pitifully.

The delicate and contrived tone, I don't know, I thought what happened to Ren Pingsheng in her life.

Ren Pingsheng was speechless for a while, so he simply withdrew his hand, turned his face away, and ignored her.

Followed by.

He felt a delicate body rush into his arms.

Looking down, it was Jiang Chuyue.

"Shizi, people are about to die, so you can't be gentle with others......

"I can't."

Ren Pingsheng refused very decisively.

Jiang Chuyue immediately put on a pitiful look: "Woo woo......"

Ren Pingsheng didn't bother to pay attention to her and looked ahead.

There.

There is already a pair of Tianjiao who have started to compete.

It can be seen that both of them are going all out and not sparing the slightest hand.

After a stick of incense.

The blade of one of them was about to cut the throat of the other.

At the last moment.

Wang Zheng suddenly intervened and saved another person.

At this point, the first competition is over.

Next, several competitions were all the same.

No one deliberately kept his hands because he was worried about his reputation and his life, all of them were within the rules, and they tried their best to compete for a place to represent Da Zhou.

In the blink of an eye.

It's time for Jiang Chuyue to play.

Ren Pingsheng hesitated, but still lowered his voice and said, "If you lose, the sugar gourd will be full in the future." ”

Jiang Chuyue paused and turned her head to look at him.

Seeing that his face was serious, a smile bloomed between his eyebrows, and he said softly: "In addition to the sugar gourd, does the prince have any other rewards?" ”

Ren Pingsheng said angrily: "If you lose the competition, what reward do you need." ”

Jiang Chuyue said: "Then the family should find a way to win......

Ren Pingsheng was silent for a few seconds and then said, "If you lose, this son will promise you a request." ”

Jiang Chuyue's eyes lit up: "Really? ”

Ren Pingsheng said: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." ”

"The son of the world is not allowed to cheat!"

Jiang Chuyue looked at Mu Rou on the side, and raised her eyebrows: "Miss Mu also heard it, and she will testify to others later." ”

Mu Rou hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

Jiang Chuyue's eyes were shining, and her delicate face was red because of excitement, as if she had been stained with red glow.

"The man went."

After speaking, he no longer hesitated, turned around and walked to the competition venue.

Mu Rou stepped forward, looked at Ren Pingsheng, and asked, "Why doesn't Ren Gongzi want Miss Jiang to win the competition?" ”

Ren Pingsheng said lightly: "I don't want her to die, that's all." ”

It is no exaggeration to say.

The competition with the demon clan is related to the fortune of the country.

Every monk on the field must have the idea of dying, go all out, and fight to the death.

If not, if you are lucky, you will be spurned by the people of the world.

Although sometimes I think that little green tea is very annoying, but when it comes to the critical time, I am really a little distressed, and I don't want her to wade into this troubled water.

Mu Rou was stunned for a few seconds, and asked half-jokingly: "If I hadn't been chosen by His Majesty, would Ren Gongzi have obstructed me like this?" ”

Ren Pingsheng said casually: "Yes." ”

Mu Rou blinked and asked curiously, "Could it be that in Ren Gongzi's heart, Miss Jiang and I are more important than the lives of thousands of innocent people?" ”

Ren Pingsheng turned his head to look at her and replied, "I'm selfish by nature, I don't want to see acquaintances die, that's all." ”

In other words, I didn't think about this problem, and I didn't want to think about it.

“……”

Mu Rou fell silent and didn't ask any more questions.

The other side.

Jiang Chuyue's competition officially began.

Ren Pingsheng turned his head to look.

I saw that the little green tea who had been pretending to be weak and pitiful suddenly turned into a humanoid beast and rushed towards the other party.

The slender little hands are clenched together, and Bang Bang is two fists.

I heard a muffled sound.

The other party flew out directly upside down and slammed into the ground, splashing a puff of smoke and dust.

"Who is this person, who looks extremely delicate and fights, and is so violent?!"

"The number of this woman's path, this son has never seen it before, it seems to be a martial artist, and it seems to be a Taoist priest, strange, really strange......"

"This kind of strength should also be able to lock in a top seven spot."

"There is no such person in the top 30 of the Tianjiao list, the master is in the deep mountains, it is true."

Everyone witnessed the scene in front of them, their pupils narrowed slightly, and there were many discussions.

Ren Pingsheng looked at Jiang Chuyue, who was still making moves, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

He couldn't believe it.

On weekdays, he is pretentious, likes to pretend to be weak, pretends to be pitiful, and plays tricks with little green tea, but he is so tough.

Look at the opponent who is tired of parrying.

At this moment, Ren Pingsheng's mind couldn't help but think of the picture of himself and Xiao Lucha meeting in a dream.

He held her down and whipped her at that time, and she didn't resist at all, but was pitiful.

I thought that her main cultivation was Yuan Shen, but who would have thought that her real strength was her fists and feet.

"Hiding Deep ......"

Ren Pingsheng sighed in his heart.

After a stick of incense.

Jiang Chuyue won easily and returned to Ren Pingsheng's side.

The slender little hand hung down on his waist, pinched the corner of his clothes helplessly, lowered his head, and looked like he was afraid of punishment after doing something wrong, and his voice trembled slightly: "Shizi, people didn't want to win, who would have thought that person was so weak that he couldn't even stop people's small fists......"

You're about to knock out other people's brains!

It's still called a small fist?

The corners of Ren Pingsheng's mouth twitched, and he was speechless for a while.

Seeing that he did not speak.

Jiang Chuyue raised her head slightly, her eyes were slightly red, and she looked pitiful, and I felt pity: "The son of the world will not be angry with others......"

Ren Pingsheng opened his mouth and was about to speak.

saw that she lowered her head again, and said in a trembling voice: "People know that they are wrong, after going back, the prince can punish others casually, just ask the prince not to be angry, okay?" ”

Ren Pingsheng wanted to say: "Can you not be disgusted with this son." ”

But thinking that she won the other party, it was very likely that she would be chosen by the emperor.

The original words were held in my throat and I couldn't spit them out, and I sighed helplessly for a while: "Why bother wading into this troubled water." ”

When Jiang Chuyue heard this, she was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly became serious: "The son of the world can go up, why can't others?" ”

Ren Pingsheng said: "If His Majesty hadn't chosen me, you think I would be willing to ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Chuyue: "It's not too late for the prince to reject Your Majesty now." ”

Ren Pingsheng's voice stopped abruptly and was speechless for a long time.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Chuyue came to him, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in his ear: "The prince doesn't have to worry about others, when the time comes, if you really can't fight, people will admit defeat......"

Nearly a year of getting along.

Ren Pingsheng has realized a truth, that is, anyone can believe their words, except for this little green tea.

"If she wants to wade into troubled waters, let her go, anyway, it has nothing to do with herself, it's a big deal to find another maid for Chang An when the time comes."

He slandered in his heart, reached out and pressed her shoulder, pressed her back, and said angrily: "The court, don't get too close to this world, it's easy to be misunderstood." ”

“……”

Jiang Chuyue was slightly stunned, then pursed her mouth and snorted: "The son of the world is really boring......

After speaking, he turned to look at the competition venue in front of him, and stopped talking angrily.

In front of the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Zhaowu's gaze looked at Ren Pingsheng, and then at Jiang Chuyue, who was close to him, and Mu Rou, who was not far away, his brows furrowed slightly.

I wanted to say something, hesitated for a few seconds, but was still silent.

Retracted his gaze, looked at the test venue, and said silently in his heart: "Out of sight, not bothered." ”

The selection continues.

Two hours later.

Including Jiang Chuyue, seven Tianjiao who represented the Great Zhou and the Demon Clan were all elected.

Emperor Zhaowu was in a majestic posture, looking around, and was about to speak.

Before he could speak, he saw one of the unsuccessful monks come out.

With steady steps, he came to the steps, solemnly saluted, and said word by word: "Your Majesty! Minister...... Fight! ”

The voice fell.

Everyone was stunned.

Then, eyes focused on him, with doubts and puzzles.

All seven monks have been elected.

Why did he ask for war?

Could it be that someone just now was invincible?

Emperor Zhaowu looked at him with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice: "The seven candidates have fallen to the dust, you should step down." ”

The young man did not retreat, but straightened his waist and said: "The minister has an ancestral technique, which can only be used once in a lifetime, during which his strength will be greatly increased, and he will die of exhaustion after the end."

In the competition, although the minister lost, the minister could be sure that if the minister used that exercise, he would never lose to anyone present! ”

As soon as this remark came out.

There was silence all around.

Immediately after, a whisper sounded.

There was no doubt about his words.

After all, unless he is an undercover agent buried by the demon clan in Da Zhou, there is no need to fight to play and do this thankless job.

"This person is determined to die and wants to play."

Be aware of this.

There was a touch of respect in the eyes of everyone looking at him.

When Emperor Zhaowu heard this, he fell silent and did not refuse, but he did not agree.

That's when it happened.

The young man continued: "The minister is the Marquis of Jing'an, the great war a hundred years ago, the minister's great-grandfather was martyred with this exercise, the minister is willing to trace back to the great-grandfather, for Your Majesty, for the court, for the thousands of people of my Great Zhou, do their best!" ”

After speaking, Emperor Zhaowu still hesitated.

He raised his voice and shouted loudly: "If it is the minister's life, it can be exchanged for twenty years of peace in the Great Zhou, and the minister is also smiling Jiuquan!"

I beg your majesty to promise the ministers and allow them to fight for the court! ”

Word by word, sonorous and powerful.

The high voice echoed in front of the Qianqing Palace.

After a long time.

Emperor Zhaowu raised his eyes to look at him, his face was expressionless, and he slowly spit out a word: "Quasi!" ”
