Sui Zaihua followed the girl and walked out together.

"Don't leave it at that." The old man looked at the sunset in the west and smiled lightly, "I wish you all the best, and when the martial arts competition, let's see you again." ”

After saying that, he pulled the hem of his clothes and went out of the ya.

"How?" The two of them saluted the old man, and Pei Ye turned his head to the girl and asked.

Li Yiqing sighed: "Compared to Shang Huaitong, it turns out that I am stepping on the threshold of the Sword Academy." ”

"You're already amazing, you're still much younger."

"Yes, but aren't you the same age as me?"

"You can't compare to me." Pei Li smiled.

Li Yiqing glanced at him, raised his feet and walked outside: "But Lord Sui still prefers me, it's just . . I have some problems on my side. ”

"What?"

"Because. I am the successor of Emerald Feather. ”

"You can let go of the Cui Yu thing first, isn't it good to go to study for two or three years?" Pei Ye looked at the girl, "Now the situation has settled down immediately, you are still young, you can go higher." ”

"It's not just about business." The two of them walked out of the yamen and stood on the street, Li Yiqing looked at the sunset in the west, "This is a matter of regulation, my identity in the rivers and lakes is too heavy, and the matter is. Some of the obstacles. ”

"Oh." Only then did Pei Ye remember that the Dao Qihui was an organization established by the Thirty-Three Sword Sects and the Tang Dynasty, but the people who could enter were the disciples of the Thirty-Three Sects and the people of the Tang Dynasty with clean identities.

Pei Ye can enter without a sect, but if you add the identity of a Jianghu sect, you will have a certain degree of independence, and if you want to enter the Dao Qihui at this time, there will be obstacles for both parties - first, your sect is not in the Dao Qihui, why should the Thirty-Three Sword Sect allow you to learn their swordsmanship, wouldn't it be regarded as stealing a teacher; Second, since you inevitably precede the people of the Tang Dynasty as a disciple of the sect, you also have some doubts about the cultivation of the imperial court.

This is naturally also a means for Datang to weaken the rivers and lakes and gather swordsmen, but for a person like a single-minded sect like the girl, she has to lose this opportunity in the decision.

"Isn't there any room for accommodation in this?" Pei Ye frowned, "Isn't Shang Huaitong able to enter?" ”

"Absolutely. Especially for a small sect like ours that is not well-known, the Thirty-Three Sword Sect and the imperial court actually don't care too much. Li Yiqing jumped into the car at the door, and Pei Ye didn't enter the carriage, so he sat next to her.

The girl flicked her whip lightly, and the carriage sparkled away.

"Lord Sui said that there are three ways. The first is the special move of the Sword Academy, that is, no matter what your identity is, the Sword Academy wants you. There are still places available this year, but I don't have such qualifications; The second is the recommendation of the imperial court, that is to say, the imperial court recognizes that you will be beneficial to the Tang Dynasty and does not mind your status in the rivers and lakes, so it has opened this road for you. I think this road can be tried to work, because the relationship between Cuiyu and the state government has always been okay. ”

"Three?"

"Three is to find one of the thirty-three sword gates to recommend, isn't Qijiao looking for Kongtong?" Li Yiqing sighed lightly, "But Cui Yu doesn't have an acquaintance in the Daoqi Society, and he can't come up with much money." ”

"Oh." Pei Ye nodded slowly, thinking about it, "I'll help you ask about this matter when the time comes." ”

"Ask? That friend of yours? ”

"Yes."

If there is a way, remember to ask me to talk, don't owe yourself too much favor."

"Well, let's talk about it." The carriage and horse traveled a distance at this time, Pei Ye looked at the restaurant on the side of the street, and suddenly said, "Wait a minute, today is September 2. I'll have to book some accommodation. ”

"Huh? What? ”

"I invited my relatives and friends to come and see the martial arts." Pei Li said, "They should arrive in two days." ”

"Ah, but if you order it now, the price is already very high." Li Yiqing tightened the reins, "How much money do you still have?" ”

"Fourteen taels, more than seven hundred wen."

"Are there a lot of people coming?"

"There are few adults, mainly about 20 children."

Li Yiqing looked at him in surprise.

"It's from our Fenghuai Martial Arts Pavilion." Pei Li said, "The children have been in the mountains, and they want them to go into the city to see the world. ”

"Oh, then just live in Cuiyu's house." The girl said.

Pei Ye hesitated: "It's too troublesome, they are all country children, very naughty." ”

"What's that? We still have to buy "Cicada Sword" from your museum, of course, we have to build a good relationship. ”

Pei Li smiled: "Okay then." ”

The carriage was sparkling, Pei Ye was no longer unfamiliar with everything when he first arrived in Bowang, the structure of this city had gradually formed in his mind, and many buildings had an impression. At this time, after a four-story building, Pei Ye immediately smiled: "Is it the venue for Wubi in front?" ”

"yes." The girl replied crisply.

Sure enough, as soon as the willow shade passed, it was the huge square that I saw when I entered the city, and at this time all kinds of stalls and vendors had been cleared to the outermost part, and five huge shelves had been erected in the middle, and many people were busy shuttling in them.

"When the stone is filled, there will be five rings." Li Yiqing said.

"It's so big." Pei Ye sighed. Such a huge platform, the surrounding houses are like toys in front of it, and it is really not the same thing as the "ring" in his impression.

"It's just a split stage, and in the end, the ring is bigger." Li Yiqing stopped the carriage and smiled with the young man.

"Together?"

"Uh-huh. The martial arts competition lasted for four days, and the first day was one hundred and twenty-eight into sixty-four, so that the four platforms, each played sixteen games, and it could be ended; On the second day, sixty-four entered thirty-two, and the four rings were combined in twos and twos, so that the two big rings were also sixteen games; On the third day, thirty-two into sixteen, so far it is the real drama meat, the winner can take the iron fish talisman, and many people also came to this day to see. On this day, the ring will not be combined, it will still be two, but there will be one more round, that is, the top sixteen will be decided, and the top eight will be played again in the afternoon; On the fourth day, the two rings merged again, and the eight people decided all the way to the only and largest ring. ”

Pei Ye's gaze slowly swept over, this huge square was enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people. The terrain is also very pleasant, it is a falling ground, so standing on the roof of the street next to it, and even sitting in the restaurant, you can watch the field, which is very suitable.

"And what is this extra ring for?" Pei Ye pointed at it, and the other four rings on the field were together, and the fifth one was a little short and not long from them.

"Oh, this is a side game." Li Yiqing said, "It's a second chance for those who have lost a round." This ring has never been dismantled, and even during the martial arts competition, the above competition will never stop - because the loser's competition is very long, and there is only such a ring. ”

"Is there a chance if you lose?"

"Of course, although the state government will try to stagger the famous masters in the early stage, it can't take care of many people with good strength but no name or surname." Li Yiqing said, "For example, if any student in the Longmen class meets you in the first round, won't there be no way to complain." ”

"I see, then how is this loser going to fight?"

"It's simple, to put it bluntly, it's 'double defeat is a certainty'. The sixty-four people who were defeated in the first round were compared again to determine the 'upper thirty-two' and 'lower thirty-two', and the 'lower thirty-two' was completely eliminated and the result was finalized - one round without victory. The 'Thirty-Two' then qualifies – playing the 32 people eliminated by the winner in the next round. The 'lower thirty-two' decided in this round was also completely eliminated, and the victory in the previous round was not counted, and the result was still a round without a win. Li Yiqing said, "And the 'upper thirty-two' who won the victory and the top thirty-two of the winner's group together formed the real sixty-four of this martial arts competition, and won the reward of 'winning one round'." After that, these 32 people will once again decide on their own 'upper and lower 16 people', and the upper 16 people will compete with the eliminated 16 people. And so on. ”

Pei Ye nodded slowly: "I understand, that is, even if you unfortunately lose a round, you can still try to stand out among the losers, and then you can get a chance to snatch other people's rankings." ”

"Not bad."

"As far as the winners of the first round are concerned, if they lose in the 64-32, they are not guaranteed to be in the top 64. I have to face the challenge of the losers again, and if I lose, I will return one hundred and twenty-eight, and if I win, I will be able to keep sixty-four. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Li Yiqing smiled and nodded, "You are much smarter than Senior Brother Chu Nian, the last time I told him, I was going to be angry." However, the loser's challenge ends in second place. ”

"Can't you fight for the top spot anymore?"

"Naturally not, if you think about this rule, in fact, only those who have lost need to accept the challenge of those who have also lost a round. The leader is a complete victory, and it is naturally safe. Li Yiqing said, "And the leader should be the first in this year." Since you have been defeated, no matter who you have lost to, how can you say that you are the strongest? ”

That's the truth. As long as you lose once, you are naturally unworthy of being the leader. ”

Li Yiqing looked at this vast venue, and suddenly sighed lightly: "Shoulder to shoulder, the sea of people is thundering, no wonder many people even if they have no intention of career and no opportunity, they also rush to fight a martial arts competition - to be able to get the joy of Bowang City here, it is not in vain to study hard." ”

Pei Ye also looked quietly and remotely, as if he had seen the ring formed and tens of thousands of people sitting around and staring.

He had never been in it.

It wasn't until the carriage started that Pei Ye came back to his senses, and the girl next to him smiled: "I almost forgot something!" ”

"What?"

"I'm going to measure two clothes for you!"

"Huh?"

"When the time comes, will you wear this body when you fight martial arts?"

Pei Ye looked down, this was one of the two clothes he brought out from Fenghuai, which had already been washed and cleaned, and he was going to participate in the Luzhou Poetry Club today. It is indeed a little light and whitish, the material is not good, and the style is old.

"Okay, how nice are you going to dress for a fight?"

"It's not just a fight, it's an appearance." Li Yiqing drove the car and turned west into a street, "Take you to the house I often go to." ”

Pei Ye still resisted a little: "I didn't change my clothes when I went to the Luzhou Poetry Club." ”

"That's because I didn't care about you."

“.”

I came to a façade, a bluestone alley, a wooden door and a black eaves, and the surroundings were very quiet. Li Yiqing jumped out of the carriage, pulled the young man who was still hesitant, and pushed the door with his other hand and smiled: "Sister Xu? ”

The young woman in the courtyard stood up, looked at the girl at the door in surprise, and shook the water droplets in her hands: "Ethereal green! It's been a long time since I've made new clothes. ”

"Well, it's not for me today." The girl smiled, "It's this young man." ”

"Oh?" The woman surnamed Xu looked at the young man in response, turned her eyes back to the girl and smiled, "This must not be a new disciple. ”

Li Yiqing smiled and pushed her into the house: "Quick, go pick and choose, we will be in a hurry for a while." ”

"Oh? In a hurry" The woman smiled softly into the girl's ear, and Li Yiqing slapped her.

Pei Ye didn't know what they were laughing at, so he only kept smiling and followed behind, and then as soon as he entered the room, he was stunned by the dazzling eyes. Red, yellow, green, blue, white, purple, blue. Each positive color is derived from many secondary colors, which are different in length, thickness, hardness, softness, roughness and smoothness.

There are nearly 100 kinds of Linlin, and this is just the fabric on the surface.

Fortunately, the girl did not embarrass him to choose, but the woman kept taking out the clothes and changing them for him, and then the girl nodded or shook her head after watching it, and the woman wrote it down on a piece of paper. Finally, after carefully measuring his body, the two of them gathered in front of the table and whispered with a ruler pen, constantly changing the pattern on the paper.

Pei Li, who is no longer fiddled, strolls around this shop, and sees many ready-to-wear clothes framed on the wall, which can indeed be seen to be quite finely crafted. After taking two steps, Pei Li paused, only to see a light goose yellow skirt coming into view, which was not far from the girl's dress, he turned around and wanted to call Li Yiqing to see, but saw that the girl and the woman were discussing with great interest.

Is it that fun to make a dress?

Pei Ye walked further, but saw a familiar men's suit, placed in the middle, which made Pei Ye stop for a longer time, because it was actually worn by Zhao Zhang at today's poetry meeting.

Pei Ye smiled, and was still wondering how this seemingly unpopular and unpopular family could support the business, but at this time, it was a solution to the puzzle - it opened for March.

Then he violently stirred his spirit, and subconsciously covered his money bag.

Holding this worry, Pei Ye slowly turned around, walked to the two women, and looked at it without saying a word, only to see that the patterns of the two long clothes on the paper had slowly taken shape.

It's really good-looking.

Li Yiqing raised his head and smiled: "Do you like this?" ”

"It's pretty, what kind of material do we use?" Pei Ye asked sideways, simply thinking that the big head of the money was still on the fabric.

The woman looked at him and smiled, "Does Childe have any of your favorite ingredients?" I can make clothes according to Childe's instructions. ”

"Ahh

Li Yiqing let out a "poof", and saw through the young man's mind at a glance: "Don't worry about it, I'll pay for the money." ”

"No, no, no, how can that work?"

"Why not, you will be in Bowang City in the future, and all the expenses will be paid by Cui Yu, it's decided."

This Pei Ye disagreed, but this matter couldn't help her, and he smiled helplessly: "Okay." ”

After all the details were settled, it was already dark, and even though the woman refused, the girl still put down a deposit or two.

Pei Ye looked at this amount and was secretly stunned - a deposit of one tael, how could the clothes cost two or three taels of silver.

He really felt that it would be nice to wear clothes and not have to spend so much. Another thing that the boy couldn't understand was that the girl had a lot of interest in dressing him.

And not to dress yourself - is it a lot of fun to dress up others?

Until he heard a soft cat meow next to him, Pei Ye turned his head, but it was a cat raised by a woman squatting on the table. And unlike ordinary cats, this one is wearing a delicately cut dark green shirt, a jade pendant hanging from the neck, and a small crown on the head.

"Huh?"

Pei Li's head was tilted, and his eyes were extremely bright.
