Chapter 328: The Competition of Comprehensive National Strength
Liu Xunxiang looked a little dazed, since he left home, he has indeed experienced too much and lost too much, and everyone he cherishes in his heart will leave him in the end.
Father and mother are like this, the Liu family is like this, the gray crow is like this, and Nangong Yixuan is also like this, and now the only one left around him is Su Zhiling, the only old man.
"Maybe this is the price, but also fate, I was young, I wanted to change my life against the sky, and now I ended up like this, and I am also to blame. Liu Xunxiang said.
Su Zhiling listened to the dejected anger in his words, and said angrily: "Liu Xunxiang, how can you be so decadent, you are the young master of the Great Qin God Killing God, and you are overhauling the Spirit Realm, and now you are looking at your unbearable appearance, you have disappointed me too much." ”
Liu Xunxiang replied: "I'm quite disappointed in myself. ”
Su Zhiling didn't know why he was suddenly like this, but he felt a pain in his heart for no reason, and said: "You and I have known each other since childhood, and in my eyes, you have always been a little willow who has ideas, courage, and is not afraid of heaven and earth.
I don't know what happened to you to get you sitting here alone now, but I know that if it were me, what I would do now would be to find a solution to the problem.
When Wang Panshan said goodbye, I thought you were dead, but later I learned that you didn't die, but became a monk, do you know how happy I am in my heart, in the capital of the Song Kingdom, you are at a loss to use the cultivation of the Dan Realm to persecute the old monsters with the power of the Heavenly Tribulation.
At the Tianjiao dinner, you represented a country and mediated with Tianjiao in the Eastern Regions, how dazzling you were at that time, and you knew how proud and happy the little willow in my eyes was at that time!"
"You shouldn't live like this...... Su Zhiling said slowly.
Liu Xunxiang looked at Su Zhiling sluggishly, since the two met, they had never sat together and chatted like today, and now they see each other, as if they were back to when they were still in Yuetian Town.
At that time, I was always bullied by my cousin, and every time Su Zhiling comforted and protected herself.
"yes, I shouldn't have lived the way I am. Liu Xunxiang's eyes gradually lit up.
Outside the wine shop, Liu Xunxiang watched Su Zhiling's back and left, and said secretly in his heart: "Su girl, you helped me when I was a child, but now I am protecting you, and the young master of Daqin Killing God will not let you down......"
On the second day, at the Qianji platform, Liu Xunxiang was still sitting next to Qi Song, seeing that the monks from the rest of the countries had already arrived, Qi Song asked: "Lord Liu, why didn't I see your Great Qin monks coming, could it be that yesterday's ranking was not good, and you plan to give up today?"
Liu Xunxiang said lightly: "What are the seven Song Daoists anxious about, isn't there still some time before the start now." ”
Qisong shouted the Buddha's horn and muttered: "To die is to face and suffer sin." ”
It was still Wei Guogong who was presiding over the competition today, he looked up at the sky and asked, "Young Master Great Qin Liu, do you Great Qin monks still participate in this second competition?"
Liu Xunxiang got up to salute and said, "There is still tea time before the start, please wait for a while." ”
Di Qiu, the prince of Di Kingdom, looked up, and saw that there was still no one outside the gate, and said with a smile: "Young Master Liu, you Daqin shouldn't have been scared yesterday, and you didn't dare to come today, if that's the case, it's better to start early, don't delay our time." ”
"No, Xiao Wang thinks that we are idle anyway, it is better to wait a while, I can't say that there will be any unexpected surprises in a while, maybe it will be a good show. Han Ze, the little prince of Qi State, said.
Song Guo Song Ji said: "Everyone is not short of this time, it is rare to have free time, sit down to taste tea, and chat." ”
Overlord Sect Zhou Xi said: "Since the time has not come, it is okay to wait. ”
Seeing that they all said to wait, Di Qiu had no choice but to sigh and said: "Alas, since the host said to wait, then everyone should wait with them, who made this Great Qin the supreme country of our Eastern Regions, and the status is high, you say yes, Young Master Liu." ”
Liu Xunxiang's face remained unchanged, and he hugged his fists and thanked everyone.
In the distance, Su Zhiling, who was sitting next to Song Ji, looked at Liu Xunxiang with a worried face, the matter of yesterday's internal discord within Great Qin had spread all over the Wei Capital this morning, and everyone knew that this Great Qin monk would probably not come to participate in this comprehensive battle today.
In this case, Daqin's ranking of the Nine Kingdoms this time may fall to the bottom, and there will even be a disaster of national destruction.
Song Ji felt Su Zhiling's uneasiness, and comforted him: "Don't worry, Young Master Liu, he has always been resourceful, and this crisis will definitely be resolved." ”
"I hope so. Although Su Zhiling said this, the worry between his eyebrows did not diminish at all.
"Now there are vassal states in the Nine Nations Alliance who want to destroy Great Qin, but the Great Qin monks still don't know it, and they still have a dislike for Liu Xunxiang, no wonder he was so decadent last night, the burden of external worries and internal troubles is really a bit heavy. ”
Liu Xunxiang's fingers tapped the armrest gently, and she didn't seem to be worried, and Qi Song on the side suddenly whispered: "Young Master Liu has a good means." ”
As soon as Qisong finished speaking, there was a crowd of people outside the gate of Qianjitai, and then, a famous figure was revealed, looking at the accessories he was wearing, it was the Great Qin monk.
"Look, it's the Great Qin Monk here. ”
"They're actually here.... I shouldn't have come!"
"Gu Fengyang, this waste, is really not enough to succeed and more than to lose. ”
After Wang often followed Nangong Dian and others to the field, he went straight to Liu Xunxiang's side and said, "Back to the young master, everything has been done." ”
Qisong's ears sitting next to Liu Xunxiang moved slightly, and a smile flashed in Liu Xunxiang's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "It's still Qisong Taoist who understands." ”
The leaders were Nangong Dian's and Xiao Taozi's four people, and after entering, Nangong Dian's salute to Wei Guogong: "The Great Qin monk is late, and I hope that Wei Guogong and all Taoist friends will forgive me, but fortunately, I am not late." ”
Wei Guogong nodded and said, "It's good to come, since everything is here, let's start, because this examination is the comprehensive national strength of the nine countries, and the way to participate must be clear to everyone."
Each vassal state sent ten monks into the Thousand Machines to eliminate the monks of the other vassal states as much as possible, or to capture the opponent's battle flags, and before sunset, the monks or battle flags that remained in the Thousand Machines were the first in terms of comprehensive national strength. ”
"How can this be?" Wang often said with some puzzlement.
Liu Xunxiang heard the words and asked, "What?"
Wang Chang glanced at Qisong and whispered: "It's nothing, Xia Guan is just curious, this was not the case in the past when the Nine Kingdoms fought with comprehensive national strength."
Instead, the nine-nation draw will have a bye, and the ranking will be directly promoted according to the unchanged of the first game, but this year's is a little different from the past, so Xiaguan feels novel. ”
Liu Xunxiang is the first time to participate in the Nine-Nation Alliance, so she doesn't know the way in the past, but now that she listens to what Wang often says, she feels that this way is more fair.
However, Liu Xunxiang still had a thought in his heart, and said in Wang Chang's ear: "Tell Nangong Dian, don't compete for the first place in this battle, pay attention to the changes in the field at any time, retreat when you are strong, and advance when you are weak." ”
"Why?" Wang was often a little puzzled, it stands to reason that the first battle of Great Qin almost became the end of the Nine Kingdoms, and this one should try his best to win the first place, so as to ensure Great Qin's ranking.
But now Liu Xunxiang's approach made him a little confused.
Liu Xunxiang stared at the middle of the field and said: "Suddenly change the way of playing, I'm afraid there will be another incident, it's better to be careful." ”
Wang often left in a hurry, and when Qi Song saw this, he asked, "Lord Liu Shi is really taking steps now, and he is always on guard." ”
Liu Xunxiang looked at the halo behind Qisong's head and said, "You said that you are a Buddha, why do you have a broken mouth like a peasant woman in the countryside all day long." ”
"You...... Forget it, the monks are compassionate, otherwise the little monk will have to temper you today!"
After a brief discussion with everyone, Nangong Dian handed over the list of all to Wang Chang and asked Liu Xunxiang to elect ten people to represent the competition.
Liu Xunxiang took a cursory look, circled ten people with cinnabar, and then put the list on the table aside, the breeze blew, the white paper was flipped, and the names on it came into view one by one.
But there are only three words Gu Fengyang.
Seeing that everyone had made a good choice, Wei Guogong said, "Everyone, you can enter the Thousand Machines." ”
Nangong bowed his head in the direction where Liu Xunxiang was, and led Xiao Taozi and the other nine people to step in.
The scene inside the Thousand Machines was different from yesterday, the space that was originally divided into countless small pieces became a mountain range, and the monks of the Nine Kingdoms who entered it were teleported to different areas of the mountain range.
The water mirror reflected the scene in the mountain range, and Wei Guogong suddenly smiled: "In order to make a more fair and objective ranking, this time the comprehensive national strength comparison has also been specially added.
That is the leader of the young generation of the Nine Kingdoms, as the future of the Eastern Regions, the top young generation of the Nine Kingdoms, this duel will be commanded by you in the field. ”
With Wei Guogong's words, a handsome maid with a slender figure carried a jade slip and sent it to the leader of the younger generation of the Nine Kingdoms.
Liu Xunxiang picked up the jade slip, and saw that Han Ze, Song Ji and the others also looked at each other, wondering in their hearts, didn't they know about the sudden change of rules this time?
"Guys, let's get started. After Wei Guogong finished speaking, he turned around and returned to his main seat, as the only senior in the field, his purpose was to maintain order in the field and ensure the smooth progress of the Nine Nations Alliance.
Qi Song glanced at the jade slip in Liu Xunxiang's hand and asked, "Do you want the little monk to help you command?"
I saw Gu Hong, who was in Chengguo, handing over the jade slip in his hand to a Confucian scholar standing beside him.
"That is a disciple of the Ink Washing Academy, proficient in the art of war, Gu Hong's benefactor is very wise, in this case, this is not the time to be a hero. Qisong said.
Liu Xunxiang's eyes were solemn, because he found that not only Gu Hong, but even Di Qiu, Han Ze, Song Ji and others had also handed over their jade slips to the monks from Zhongzhou to let them dominate the battle.
In this way, this battle of comprehensive national strength of the nine countries has completely become a duel between Zhongzhou monks.
"How, Lord Liu Shi thought about it, although the little monk is not as knowledgeable as the Ink Washing Academy, but after all, he is also a Zhongzhou monk, and he knows a lot about them, and he doesn't dare to guarantee that Daqin is the first, but he will not let Daqin be at the bottom. ”
Qisong's words made Wang Chang's heart behind him also begin to waver, and he whispered: "Young master, this matter...."
Liu Xunxiang hesitated for a long time, grabbed the jade slip, and said: "The Zhongzhou monk is so terrifying, Liu still doesn't believe it today, my first generation of the Great Qin killing god Bai Yue established the world with the art of war, although I am not talented, but as a descendant of the killing god lineage, how can I admit it like this, today, this young master is going to come to meet you Zhongzhou Tianjiao......"
