Three hundred and thirty-six First encounters

"Lingyun, stop! Whether this matter is true or not, it is not a choice that we should participate in as disciples!"

Although I don't understand why the nameless fire of the third junior brother was ignited, everyone is now in the inner courtyard of the palace, and there are many envoys and participating teams around them.

Zhang Lingxiao, as the senior brother of the 'Zhengyi Sect', must not allow the third junior brother to act recklessly, make any like-minded arguments, and be rude to the world!

"Senior brother, just when I was sobering up, I heard that other countries would recombine to compete, and there were only thirty-seven teams participating in the next competition!"

Zhang Lingyun, who was depressed in his heart, did not release the letter given to him by the masked boy, although that thing was more convincing than his own dictation.

But people help out of kindness, even if everyone is on the opposite side now, Zhang Lingyun doesn't want to make a villain because of this.

"People who don't know each other don't even have the most basic trust, and it's a problem to cooperate with each other in battle, how can they fight!?"

"Third Senior Brother, this may be their initial expectation, and it is estimated that it is still to be discussed before it is implemented!"

After Zhang Lingshuang and Zhang Lingfeng both expressed their thoughts, everyone subconsciously turned their eyes to the second senior brother, waiting for him to stand in line and express their opinions.

"Third Senior Brother, I also think that even if this thing is true, it is not practical for a cultivator who is detached from the world, after all, it is the norm to practice alone all year round, and his personality is arrogant and indifferent!"

Zhang Lingyu, who was in a dilemma, walked slowly to Zhang Lingyun, patted him on the shoulder with a little embarrassment, and gave a more objective answer to the common sense of the current practice in the immortal cultivation world.

"Not to mention the team that hasn't been encountered yet, just the paladins of the Eagle Country, that is comparable to the attack power of the Avatar Stage monks, how many waves can they resist?"

Knowing that this 'Forbidden Battle' is a competition that eats people and does not spit out bones, but in the battle of annihilating the 'Hundred Flowers View', Zhang Lingyun, who experienced the death of the two sisters of Yue Qingqing, has an indescribable sense of guilt in his heart.

I always felt that it was my own reasons that forced them to investigate the missing person together, and after such a tragic experience, they finally died.

In order to reduce his guilt and let Yue Qingfeng and Situ Wan'er continue to live, Zhang Lingyun must not let this matter go!

"Lingyun, this is the Nine Nations Athletic Competition, which pays attention to fairness and justice, not traveling to slay demons and eliminate demons on weekdays, do you understand!?"

At this moment, Zhang Lingxiao lost his patience a little, and he didn't understand how this rational and intelligent third junior brother could instantly return to being so unreasonable as a child.

"This whole competition, the so-called fairness and justice, is it a shackle set for whom!?"

The sense of responsibility and guilt hidden in his heart, Zhang Lingyun couldn't explain clearly, and he was already very aggrieved.

Now even other countries are blatantly forming gangs and factions, and everyone is turning a blind eye to such cheating behavior, which really makes Zhang Lingyun unable to swallow this breath!

"Third Senior Brother, look around, you can protect them for a while, can you protect them for a lifetime?"

Zhang Lingfeng felt that there was a tense atmosphere in the air around him, and he wanted to stand up to relieve the atmosphere, but he subconsciously said what he wanted from the bottom of his heart.

"You guys know what you say, I was too impulsive just now!"

Senior Brother Feng's words were like a basin of cold water splashing on his face, instantly waking up Zhang Lingyun, who was still unable to die head-on.

I don't have so many far-sighted concepts, nor do I have such a broad mind, but I am very self-aware and can't go against everyone.

Even if you really want to protect them, you should never impulsively meet in public, that will only make others think of them as targets!

"Today's banquet is almost over, let's leave!"

Looking at the participants from various countries who were leaving one after another, Zhang Lingyu took his wife's hand and walked slowly towards Zhaodemen.

After the argument just now, everyone's mood was slightly low, and after two days of exhausting battles, they slowly fell asleep as soon as they entered the carriage.

............

The gray void, the first rays of sunlight slowly rising, the breeze caressing the young leaves that grow quietly, and the crystal clear dew rolling down, everything is so peaceful and beautiful.

"Bang...... ,”

The sound of the door being violently pushed open was unusually harsh, and with the sound of slightly messy footsteps, Zhang Lingyun felt a chill coming, and couldn't help but shiver.

"Feng Yu, how can you say that you are also an immortal-level divine beast, can you be a lady, ah......!"

Zhang Lingyun, who was sleepy-eyed, didn't care when he felt the familiar breath approaching, until the other party suddenly grabbed his wrist and took the pulse, Zhang Lingyun reluctantly opened his eyes.

Immediately, he was frightened by the figure in front of him with dark circles under his eyes, pale and bloodless, messy hair and a fierce face, and goosebumps instantly covered his whole body.

"Well, the pulse is stable and the mental state is good, it seems that this first competitive match is not a big deal!"

Zhang Lingyun's sudden exclamation made the phoenix feather vulture also startled, and immediately took out the small mirror he carried with him and sharpened it.

When he saw his current ghostly appearance, Feng Yu's melancholy vulture figure returned to normal after a long time, and the fierceness of looking at Zhang Lingyun became a little more serious.

"Your makeup is too delicate, don't come out early in the morning to be scary!"

From the voice and costume, he found that the figure in front of him was a phoenix feather winding vulture, Zhang Lingyun released his spiritual power as soon as possible, and used the dust purification technique to tidy it up.

"The stinky boy is embarrassed to be sarcastic, I'm not defeated by you now!"

"If you have something to say, don't just give people a hat!"

Facing the radiant and energetic phoenix feather winding vulture, Zhang Lingyun exhaled a breath of turbidity with disgust on his face, and began to put on his clothes and tidy them up.

"Ahem, Qian Duoduo has come to the capital, and everyone is busy with new deals!"

As the wisps of spiritual power fluctuated like a breeze, Feng Yu looked at his radiant appearance in the mirror.

The sadness of getting the password right and sorting out all the ledgers overnight hit again, and he looked at Zhang Lingyun with sad eyes.

"Hey, that's the one who can make 'Thunderbolts'?"

Zhang Lingyun, who was just about to wash, heard that the woman with a stunt had returned, and a few briskly walked to Feng Yu and the vulture, staring at each other with anticipation.

"Well, although that girl looks average, she is a master with super positive values, you should be able to talk!"

In the face of Zhang Lingyun's excited expression, Feng Yu couldn't help but recall the look of Qian Duoduo and the thousand-faced sand cat reasoning, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked up a smile.

"Feng Yu, I have something to do to go to the 'Yunfeng Boudoir', you have worked hard for a long time, so take a good rest!"

For Qian Duoduo's arrival, Zhang Lingyun had a sense of joy that he was dozing and sent pillows, and after a quick freshening up, he left a sentence and ran out of the door.

"Hey, what's wrong, even if that little girl is your sweetheart, you don't need to be so anxious!"

Feng Yu Vulture, who felt that something was wrong, was still relieved after beating two kisses in succession, so he followed Zhang Lingyun towards the outside of the temple.

On the carriage, the phoenix feather condle finally knew the details of this competition.

Wrapping up the battle with the nobles of Fanbang, many details of the invasion of demon puppets, and the fact that 'Mount Emei' is understaffed, but still has to continue to participate in the competition.

"Miss Feng Yu is here, Lord Qian, they have just entered the door, and now they should be in the backyard,"

The maid dressed in exquisite embroidery, saw the carriage engraved with the auspicious cloud pattern of 'Yunfeng Boudoir' approaching, and immediately ran over to greet her, and informed the thousand-faced sand cat and others of the itinerary.

"Qian Duoduo, come out quickly, your followers are coming!"

Passing through the slender corridor, he came to the house used as a rest in the inner hall of the 'Yunfeng Boudoir', and as soon as he stepped into the courtyard where the thousand-faced sand cat was, the phoenix feather vulture made a loud noise,

"Feng Yu, what are you talking nonsense! I have something to ask Miss Duoduo, don't insult other people's names!"

On weekdays, it's okay for Feng Yu to make jokes, but this place is under the full management of Jia Si.

That guy's strictness of the rules of etiquette, righteousness and shame makes people feel more restrained than when he practiced on the mountain, Zhang Lingyun didn't want to listen to him nagging in his ear!

"Hey, am I so famous now? There's already a little fan girl chasing here! Let me see!"

Qian Duoduo, who was already so tired that he didn't even bother to do his hand, heard that someone who admired him was coming, so he immediately turned over and jumped up to clean up briefly, and rushed out of the room in a few breaths.

Qian Duoduo's body was not stable, so he was attracted by the fifteen or sixteen-year-old man in front of him, and his little heart began to beat wildly!

The young man's black and soft green silk, neatly bulging on the top of his head, and his slightly thin and slender figure fully reflect the special beauty of male and female at this age.

The most attractive thing on the whole face is the black and white eyes without variegation, from the corners of the eyes to the end of the eyes, the lines are extremely fresh and smooth, like the ink lines drawn by the white brush, flexible and tactful.

At the moment of squinting slightly, the dark and deep ice eyes revealed a trace of wildness and unrestrainedness, exuding a strange brilliance under the cover of thick eyelashes, as if to suck people in!

The young man's facial features are as handsome as if they were finely carved, and the whole person emits a kind of king who has the world in mind, and there is a slightly restrained smile on his handsome cheeks.

"Miss Qian An, under the 'Zhengyi Sect' Zhang Lingyun,"

In the face of this ingenious woman who made the 'Yunfeng Boudoir' expand to this place in a short period of time, Zhang Lingyun was very respectful and hugged his fists and saluted.

"Hey, my kid is handsome!"

Feng Yu meandered slowly to Qian Duoduo, looking at the other party's eyes shining like stars in the night sky, and directly hit Qian Duoduo on the forehead.

"Ah, it hurts, Feng Yu, what are you doing!"

Qian Duoduo, who was awakened by the pain, thought that he was a nymphomaniac because of his handsome young appearance, and instantly lowered his head shyly, and both sides of his cheeks were dyed with a touch of crimson at the same time.

"Young Master, you came at the right time, this is the income from the first game of this 'Nine Nations Athletic Ticket'!"

Seeing enough of the lively poisonous flame centipede, with a smile that could not be concealed, he walked towards Zhang Lingyun with a thick account book in his hand.

"Rest assured that these things are handed over to you, the old rules, just say the result!"

Looking at more than a dozen account books nearly a foot thick, Zhang Lingyun subconsciously swallowed saliva and squeezed out a firm smile.

Slowly pushed the ledger back, waved everyone to follow him, and walked towards the place where the guests were meeting in the lobby.

"My lord, this time, the 'Nine Nations Athletic Ticket' sold a total of 3,782 notes, with a total amount of 51.83 million taels of silver, and a total amount of 24.287 million taels of silver, which is the specific compensation details!"

The people of the fourth company of Jia declassified the information and compiled a simple information that can be seen at a glance, so that Zhang Lingyun can understand the overall situation.

"In just one competitive match, more than 3,000 bets, you actually earned nearly 30 million taels of silver!?"

Zhang Lingyun, who was still calm just now, bounced up from his chair in disbelief when he heard Jiasi's report, took a few relevant materials and read them carefully.

The single winner is 1:1, bets 327 bets, bets 284, and pays 284,000 yuan.

Hit the single deceaser 1:10, bet 1026 bets, bet 396, pay 3.96 million,

The winner of the whole team is 1:3, betting 699 bets, winning 319 bets, and paying 9.57 million.

Hit the team knockout 1:10, bet 1410, bet 535, pay 5.35 million,

A total of 320 bets were placed in the order of appearance,

Hit the correct order of play of the first team 1:1, 23 bets, 23,000 payouts,

Hit the correct order of play of the two teams 1:3, bet 7 bets, pay 2.1 million,

The correct order of play of the three teams is 1:9, and the bet is 2 bets, and the compensation is 3 million.

...... Hit the 45 teams in the correct order of play 1:10000, no hit.

"To be precise, we earned 17.55 million taels of silver this time, and the rest was used to deal with the two princes!"

Jia Si hesitated a little to tell the truth, and in his heart began to prepare how to deal with Zhang Lingyun's possible questioning.

After waiting for a long time without waiting for any questioning voice, Jia Si glanced around with curiosity, and finally stared at Zhang Lingyun.

"A fourth...... Come here, and later treat everyone in your personal name, and share a million each, so that everyone can use it to buy some small things they like!"

Zhang Lingyun, who was a little embarrassed by Jia Si's staring, thought about it, maybe everyone needed some money, and he didn't know how to speak, so he quietly beckoned Jia Si to come forward and make arrangements.

"My lord, aren't you curious about which two princes you have checked, why do you need to do it, or other details about the 'Nine Kingdoms Athletic Ticket'?"

Jiasi, who was ready to argue for half a day, thought that it would be an opportunity to express his wisdom and talents.

But for no reason, he wanted to take out five million taels of points, and a great sense of loss instantly came to his heart.

"Jiasi, the start-up capital you just got is much more precious than these real money, have I ever had a trace of doubt!?"

Listening to Jia Si's slightly anxious tone, Zhang Lingyun suddenly had an inexplicable feeling, and immediately declared his trust in him with a serious expression!

"Brother Zhang, such a large-scale operation mode was completed in just half a month, it's not too much to praise!"

Qian Duoduo, who doesn't know how everyone gets along, is very dissatisfied with Zhang Lingyun's businesslike attitude.

In my own cognition, whether it is a child who is babbling or an adult who is already working.

As long as you have made achievements that are higher than in the past, you should be rewarded and encouraged accordingly, and the two are not more important, but indispensable!

"Oh, Jiasi, you're bored to talk, if you want people to praise it, be blunt!"

"What! Jia Si obviously wants to show off, but unfortunately these little problems can't bother our little Yun'er at all!"

"Lord Feng Yu, Miss Mao'er, alas, ......!"

Seeing that the phoenix feather meandering vulture and the thousand-faced sand cat were so straightforward, bursting out the thoughts in their hearts, Jia Si's shy face was slightly red like a woman in an instant, and he turned around to avoid everyone's gaze!

"Jiasi, since the first time you and I met, you have shown a broad mind far beyond ordinary people, and an extraordinary economic acumen, to tell the truth, everything has become a legend in your hands, and I have some ...... Get used to it!"

Zhang Lingyun, who has never been stingy with praise, blames himself for ignoring everyone's problems recently because he has been busy with cultivation competitions.

Immediately got up and came to Jia Si, patted the other party's shoulder, and said praise seriously and sincerely.

"My lord, how can you feel like a mine is buried in the water when you are boasting!?"

"This matter can't be fanfare, but it's a pity that the only one who doesn't know can understand it at all, and completely cut off the back road you want to show off, so just accept your fate!"

Looking at the gloating appearance of the group of people in the house, Jia Si was very helpless to squeeze out a smile.

Then looking at Zhang Lingyun's sincere and wise eyes, the little haze in Jia Si's heart instantly dissipated, and everyone laughed heartily.

"Miss Qian, I heard that the entire sketch of the 'Thunderbolt' was completed by you!?"

"Well, you can't buy and sell without consent, what do you have in mind?"

Seeing Zhang Lingyun's sudden change of words, Qian Duoduo instantly had many bad thoughts in his mind, and immediately stared at those clean eyes with sharp eyes.

"Miss Qian, don't misunderstand, the main thing is that I have two friends who need help, and they are ready to compete in the competition for three people.

Zhang Lingyun waved his hand to signal Qian Duoduo to sit down with peace of mind, and told Situ Wan'er that they were forced to compete.

"Brother Zhang doesn't have to be polite, just call me Duoduo like everyone else, it's just that my little arms and legs don't resist, I'm afraid I really can't help much!"

"No, Miss Duoduo misunderstood, I want you to make some self-defense weapons or armor and the like, so as not to leave them alone!"

Looking at Zhang Lingyun's sincere and serious attitude, Qian Duoduo had a thought that the other party wanted to let him replace him, and immediately waved his hand to express his opposition and refusal.

It wasn't until Zhang Lingyun expressed his true appeal that Qian Duoduo's feeling of hovering on the edge of the cliff gradually subsided, and he thought of a coping strategy a little.

"Sister Duoduo, everyone is a child of the Qing Dynasty, and you don't want to see those clowns who jump off the beam in Fanbang and win the final victory, help!"

"Sister Feng Yu, it's not that I don't help, the attack weapons are all ready-made, at most I can make some crossbow arrows, but the defensive armor is really helpless!"

Qian Duoduo slowly pulled away the hand of the phoenix feather vulture on his shoulder, and solemnly gave everyone a definite answer.

Now there are still ten days left before the next competition, and Qian Duoduo doesn't want to let everyone have a trace of extravagant hopes because of his hesitation, and delay everyone's time to find a solution.

"Ready-made assault weapons...... What do you mean?"

As soon as Zhang Lingyun's words fell, looking at everyone's slightly evasive eyes, he couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding in his heart.

Turning his head to stare at the poisonous centipede, which has never been able to lie, waiting for the other party to give him a reasonable explanation.

"I ...... Did you say something wrong?"

"Well, that kid didn't know about us selling 'six-wheeled pistols' privately,"

The whispers of Qian Duoduo and Feng Yu Vulture instantly poured into Zhang Lingyun's ears with developed six senses, making his eyes even more gloomy when he looked at the poisonous flame centipede.

"Oh, isn't it just selling a toy! Why are you scared like this!"

The thousand-faced sand cat couldn't stand the aggrieved look of the poisonous centipede, and with a wave of his hand, he took out a golden 'six-wheeled pistol' from the storage ring.

Under Zhang Lingyun's surprised gaze, the thousand-faced sand cat loaded a round object the size of a little thumb into the 'six-wheeled pistol', raised his hand and aimed it in the direction of the wall to pull the trigger.

"Bang...... ,”

With a deafening sound, the surface of the thick wall instantly cracked, and the flying stones immediately scattered in all directions.

When the fine dust gradually cleared, a fist-sized hole appeared in the wall that had just been hit by the 'six-wheeled pistol'.

"This thing is so lethal, you shouldn't be selling it!"

Slowly walking to the bluestone wall, carefully observing the destructive power of this thing, Zhang Lingyun couldn't help but tremble, and a chill hit his whole body in an instant.

"Don't be angry, my lord, this thing has been traded in large quantities in the 'Tiancai Exchange', and the purchaser is a member of the court!"

Seeing that the situation had been exposed, Jia Si immediately explained to Zhang Lingyun, and even did not hesitate to report the confidential information he had obtained when he was working at home.

took this opportunity to dispel the doubts in Zhang Lingyun's heart, and he was afraid that the other party would think that he and others were involved in this troubled water because of that small profit.

"Stop, put away your remarks that have been used by people with intentions and may harm innocent people! We are not the only ones doing this business on the black market now!"

"My lord, the ambition of the superior will not change because of this!"

Seeing that Zhang Lingyun was just about to speak, the thousand-faced sand cat took the lead and finished the possible remarks.

And the poisonous centipede, as a transporter of 'six-wheeled pistols', could not stay out of the matter and also added a sentence.

"Now the Qing Dynasty is still in the ruling stage of a closed dynasty, and only by constantly pushing through the old and bringing forth the new can the people see how vast the outside world is, which is a good thing!"

Seeing that his unintentional words made everyone so nervous, Qian Duoduo changed his mind and persuaded Zhang Lingyun with everyone.

"This thing should be a surging commodity! The profit is not much different from this 'Nine Nations Athletic Ticket'!"

The first time I heard that there was a black market in the capital, Zhang Lingyun's interest was instantly aroused.

But the most important thing now is to figure out the value of the 'six-wheeled pistol', so that we can draw conclusions about the sale of this thing by everyone!

"What kind of parts in it are not kept improving, and you can produce five or six handfuls a day, woo ......!"

Seeing a gleam flashing in Zhang Lingyun's eyes, Qian Duoduo thought that the other party was being explained, and prepared the production process of the 'six-wheeled pistol' without seeing it.

But a pair of slender and soft palms suddenly covered his mouth and crashed into the arms of a woman who was as soft and comfortable as cotton.

"Kid, you didn't hear anything, let's just assume it didn't happen!?"

Feng Yu rushed forward with a brisk stride, trying to stop Qian Duoduo's fast mouth, but she was still half a step late, allowing her to expose the specific production figures.

Seeing everyone looking at him with anticipation, Feng Yu was under tremendous pressure, ready to play a bad trick and fight Zhang Lingyun to the end.

"This decaying country should be injected with something new, but have you done a good job of changing the possible consequences of it!?"

Zhang Lingyun did not directly veto everyone's decision, after all, everyone made up their minds to take that step after sorting out all the pros and cons.

And I'm afraid that the sale of 'six-wheeled pistols' is not a short time, and I may not be able to get out of it now.
