Chapter 286: Be a low-key person
"No, it's not that they're all going to come to deal with you, but once something happens, these people are likely to fall into the ground.
This time, the king sealed all the secret music, and also hinted that the Eighth Legion had been the commander of the Ding family before, and it was reasonable for a general to visit you, and those who went there openly and upright were all loyal and righteous people, and such things should not be discussed in the future.
It can be seen that the king trusts the virtuous brother very much, and the intention of pampering and maintaining it is undoubtedly revealed, but if this kind of thing happens a few more times, it is difficult to say that it will not change the king's attitude towards you, and the virtuous brother should pay more attention to his actions in the future. Shaodian said to Ding Kui in a secret voice.
"What Brother Mi said is very true, the younger brother is young and frivolous, and he has done things without proportion before, and he will definitely follow Brother Mi's instructions in the future, and be low-key in case of trouble, so as not to live up to the king's favor. Ding Kui looked remorseful.
"It's easy to talk to smart people, and since the virtuous brother understands, I won't delay much. Recently, there have been too many things in Zhenjing City, because you have been put in prison and the officials of the Water Affairs Department have died, and the search for the murderer has made Brother Wei anxious, if you have any news, you must inform Brother Wei. Shao Dianmi said as he got up and took his leave.
"Definitely, definitely, the younger brother will send Brother Mi. "Ding Kui didn't leave this spy leader to eat.
The murderer of the Ministry of Legal Affairs prison case is hidden in the house, and it is not a good thing for a cat and a mouse to be kept in a cage.
Ding Kui sent Shaodianmi out of the gate all the way, watching him disappear into the crowd in a hurry, and was about to turn around and go back to the house, when he suddenly noticed a pair of eyes staring at him for a long time, Ding Kui looked around.
At the corner of the street, Ding Kui saw the back of a woman leaving in a hurry.
"Young Master," General Shi came out from behind Ding Kui, "that beautiful little girl came back with you from the Knights' Association, and she refused to leave after you entered the mansion, and she has been guarding outside." Now she's gone away, probably because she doesn't want to be found by you. ”
"Who is she? From the back, it looks like I've seen her somewhere. "Ding Kui has a high degree of recognition of beautiful women, as long as he has seen it, he will have an impression in his mind, but he can't remember anything this time.
"Hehe, our young master is amazing, he inadvertently hooked the little girl's heart, and he has time to teach me more experience. Shi Jiang said with a hippie smile.
Ding Kui said angrily: "Let's find out her identity first, why did I hook the little girl's heart, you kill a few fewer people, and you have more popularity, which will naturally attract the big girl to like you." ”
"Okay, I'll go over and have a look. After speaking, Shi Jiang disappeared as soon as he slipped through the smoke.
Lu Ying summoned all his friends to hold a celebration banquet in the hall, and even Lei Wei and Lu Ji attended for a while, everyone was elated, only Ding Kui was preoccupied.
Shi Jiang came back not long after going out to follow, and told Ding Kui that the little girl had the protection of a master, but the other party didn't seem to have malicious intentions, just forced Shi Jiang away and didn't let him follow.
This is a small episode, not bothering Ding Kui's heart, what he is really worried about is Shaodian's secret message.
Yes, Ding Kui could be sure that Shao Dianmi was just a messenger for the king, and he didn't dare to say such a thing as a spy leader.
What kind of son, Duke Si, and his son would not be in chaos in the country? Doesn't it mean that without them, there would be chaos in the country? Does Shaodian Dan regard them as cronies or as a threat? This is a bit of a lot of information, and it is difficult to analyze.
Ding Kui was a little distressed, the king asked Shaodian to bring something in the words, but he was not familiar with the king's routine.
Those who go openly and honestly are all loyal people? Sneaky ones are not good goods, is it? No wonder Shaodian Secret has to wait for me at the gate. This is to remind me not to have contact with the Legion in private. Hey, the emperor's mind is really hard to understand.
But it's really a little more low-key, the Ding family is just a chess piece of the royal family, grandpa was on the wrong side back then, and he couldn't let the current king trust the Ding family as before, which has made this chess piece useless, and my father and I are dispensable characters in the Shaodian country.
In the past ten years, my father has not appeared in Zhenjing, except for the assassination organized by Cao Guo's spies, the domestic forces are safe with us, it seems that I am a little dazzling in the capital. No, the final of the Knights Competition can't be too prominent.
Ding Kui secretly made up his mind and was determined to fade out of the world's sight.
Jiang Cao saw that Ding Kui hadn't spoken for a long time, and took the initiative to come over and talk: "Uncle Cousin, if you are right in the finals, I will directly admit defeat, you still have the strength to fight when you meet the Shield Breaker, I will definitely not be able to resist it." ”
"Don't," Ding Kui just straightened out his thoughts, "The final is to fight with the magician, you are not fighting alone, in order to respect the competition and respect your magician companions, you should do your best to compete with me." ”
Hearing Ding Kui say this, Jiang Cao was in awe, "Uncle Cousin really has the mind and demeanor of an ancient knight, and he has set an example for us juniors." If you really want to be your cousin's opponent, you will definitely do your best to show your respect. ”
"That's right, the purpose of participating in the competition is to prove yourself, no one should give up, admitting defeat is to look down on yourself, and compare. Ding Kui patted Jiang Cao's shoulder and poured him chicken soup for the soul.
Jiang Yu, who was not far away, listened to it all in his ears, clapped his hands and said, "Uncle Little Cousin is so handsome, what kind of woman does she need to be worthy of Uncle Little Cousin?"
"Is there one?" Lu Ying was beside him, stretching his neck to look at Ding Kui, "Ding Datou can always say one thing at a time, and he can do it himself." As for the woman, hmph, I know that there were two people who always pestered him before, and he barely looked worthy. ”
"Ah, is it?" Jiang Yute cared about the topic of girls, "Which two?" Miss Lu can recognize the appearance, it must not be an ordinary person, tell me quickly." ”
Ding Kui's sharp eyes swept over, and Lu Ying struck a spirit, attached it to Jiang Yu's ear, and said, "Come to me at night, and I'll tell you in detail." ”
The next day, the Knights Association announced the list of knights who participated in the finals, in addition to the first place in each group, the six second places with the best record were Long Shuang, Kong Ren, Bai Zhen, Bao Lei, Fan Jun and Yang Zhan.
At the same time, it was announced that the finalists of the next day would go to the Magicians' Association, where they would first be randomly paired to form a combination of knights and magicians, and then the numbers from 1 to 16 would be drawn to determine the opponents in the final stage.
Jiang Cao didn't have Lang to waste time and resources, so he took advantage of the time to ask Qianyou for advice on the precautions of magicians, and strive to play a few more rounds in the finals.
On October 13, Ding Kui and Jiang Cao went to the Magicians' Association together.
Ding Kui wasn't the first time he had returned to the Wizards' Association, but the places he had visited were limited to portals and magic communication halls, and even Qianyou couldn't take him deep into other places.
The staff of the Magician Association took Ding Kui and Jiang Cao to the venue that is said to be the training of high-level magicians, which is specially used for practicing high-level magicians.
It was a large interior space, with a concave dome overhead, with no beams or columns visible, the square walls around it were gray and shrouded in a layer of mist, which could insulate the investigation of mental power, and the ground was flat earth, not dry or wet, very strong, and left no trace when stepped on, obviously treated with magic.
There were already a few people in the venue who arrived first, including those Ding Kui knew, Kong Ren and Long Tan. Long Tan beckoned to them, looked at Ding Kui with strange eyes, and laughed loudly: "Aha, the youngest finalist is here, and his cousin and nephew. ”
"Long Tan, tease me, what do you mean by my cousin?" Jiang Cao knew that Long Tan had a lot of eyes, and looked at him vigilantly.
"Hehe, of course it's a compliment, I reached the finals at the age of sixteen, I asked myself if I could do it, Ding Kui is the first person in Zhongwangzhou. "It's a bit obscene for the tall Long Tan to say something.
"Dragon, Tan," Ding Kui wanted to call Brother Long, but Jiang Cao next to him temporarily changed his words, "The four people in Zhongwangzhou have reached the finals, and you have advanced to the Shield Breaking Knight, you are our last hope, and if you can't win the championship, you can't live with us." ”
"Hahaha, don't squeeze me," Long Tan pointed to the one at the very edge of the crowd, "That is Yao Sheng from Hailin Prefecture, and he is also a shield breaker, and if I want to win the championship, I have to be agreed." ”
Yao Sheng looked arrogant, listened to Long Tan's words, snorted coldly, turned his face away, and didn't want to have anything to do with the players in Zhongwangzhou.
A person walked out of the crowd, with a slender body, well-proportioned and powerful limbs, and thick fluff on his lips, he walked towards Ding Kui, looked directly into Ding Kui's eyes and asked, "Are you Ding Kui?"
"That's right, I'm Ding Kui, Baron Lu Ji is officially my teacher, who is Your Excellency?" Ding Kui saw a strong fighting intent in the other party's eyes.
"My name is Levan and my family teacher also has no trick swordsmanship, but it is very different from your master. When I went out this time, my master had an order to defeat Lu Ji's disciple and prove to everyone who is the authentic unrecruited. ”
This person is the biggest dark horse Levan of this event.
"Hahaha, the teacher didn't let me beat anyone to prove anything, he has no opponent in the eyes of the old man. Unfortunately, there are rules in the tournament, and we can't play privately until the end of the tournament, otherwise I'll let you know who is authentic now. "It's about the honor of the teacher, and Ding Kui can't keep a low profile.
"Oh, my tone is not small, I hope you have that strength, and if you have the ability, don't use the famous sword to participate in the competition. Liefan was very delicate, knew what Ding Kui's advantages were, and used the agitation method to make Ding Kui give up using the "Moon Death".
"It turns out that you are afraid of the 'moon death', this final has to cooperate with the magician, not only my own business, I will definitely use it during the competition.
However, I can give you a chance to fight a fair fight in private, and I will use an ordinary long sword to fight with you. After the finals, you can decide the time and place, and I will wait for you in the Protector's Mansion. Ding Kui is not stupid, and he will not give up using "moon death" in the game because of Liefan's words.
