The gate usually doesn't have a special meaning, it's just a gate for passers-by to pass through.

The city gate of Xiaonanqiao is carved with a strong talisman for protection, but the gate of Guiyang City is just an ordinary city gate, simply a portal.

It's just that the meaning of the inside of the door and the outside of the door are completely different.

Except for the door, it is equivalent to walking out of Guiyang City, and the battle that occurs outside the city of the Five Realms Grandmaster will not care about the Huangfu family.

"Why? When you die, you hesitate, didn't you still look amazing before?"

Xue Liangyun watched Li Xiu's movements in front of the door, snorted lightly, and sneered.

If she usually wouldn't always say such stupid things, but this time it was different from the past, Li Xiu's attitude towards Wanxiangcheng or her was ignorant of her, and he didn't even take a second look.

This made this young lady feel contempt and insult, and naturally she would always want to have the upper hand in her mouth, so as to gradually take back her psychological advantage.

"Shut up. ”

Li Xiu glanced back at her, frowned slightly, and said.

"You are presumptuous. ”

Xue Liangyun's face showed a look of anger, this was the first time since she was a child that someone dared to scold her so bluntly.

Not bothering to pay attention to this woman, Li Xiu set his eyes on He Anzai and Jiang Baigui, and said lightly: "The two of you have to think clearly, if you go out of this door, life and death will be on the table." ”

There are only two outcomes of life and death, either life or death.

The difference was only in who the dead person was, and Li Xiu's gaze was calm, because he knew that the dead person would definitely not be him.

The raccoon is just a Five Realms, and there are two people from Wanxiang City at the moment, and one of them has climbed the Heavenly Scroll, no matter how you look at it, their side has a better chance of winning, but when they meet those eyes without waves and emotions, the wrinkles on Jiang Baigui's old face trembled lightly for no reason.

It was not a door that seemed to stand in front of you, but a bridge.

A bridge to the Yellow Spring.

This is a very unprovoked and unreasonable omen, as if it suddenly appeared in the bottom of her heart, reason told her that it was impossible, but when she wanted to move forward, a stronger sense of crisis instantly skyrocketed and surrounded her body.

Jiang Baigui turned his head to look at the raccoon squatting on Li Xiu's shoulder, and saw that Xiong Fat was staring at him quietly, obviously it was only a very small body, but this glance made her have an illusion in her mind.

That is, standing in front of him was an ancient giant with the size of thousands of zhang, as if he could tear himself apart with a slight movement.

It's a delusion, or maybe it's not.

She couldn't judge, but she didn't dare to take risks.

At this moment, it turned out that Wanxiang City had underestimated this prince of the Tang Kingdom from beginning to end, and also underestimated the bear spirit who was walking with him by his side.

"There are still four months to go before the opening of the sword trial conference, and there are still more than a month to walk from Guiyang City to Wanxiang City, not to mention that I still have some things to do, so my time is always precious. ”

Li Xiu glanced at Jiang Baigui, and after a pause in his voice, he continued: "The affairs between the younger generation must be handled by the younger generation, this is the biggest rule in the world, if someone wants to overstep, then it is best to think about the consequences first." ”

Bear Fat jumped from his shoulders to the ground, his feet lightly touching the ground, his bean-sized eyes flashing scarlet, and the vast ocean of evil qi enveloped him like a tide.

His small body was still standing there, or half-squatting in front of Li Xiu without any movement, and the pedestrians not far away only thought that this harmless appearance of humans and animals was very endearing, and they couldn't imagine that a shocking game was taking place at the city gate at this moment.

This violent aura that belongs to the ferocious beast is very familiar, far superior to the human race, and it also makes Jiang Baigui confirm that it was not an illusion before, but it is true.

So his face couldn't help but turn ugly.

Although the feeling of strength between the five realms is not absolutely intuitive, if the gap in strength between each other is too large, it can still be easily felt.

The bear is small and harmless to humans and animals.

But he is very strong, Jiang Baigui is not an opponent, even if there is a He An, it is difficult to say whether he will win or lose.

If you can't win, don't do it, because the reputation of Wanxiang City is very important, and it is enough to kill a powerhouse of the Five Realms to deal with a junior of the Three Realms, if you can't kill it, if you still return defeated.

If even his own daughter dies there, this is the most unacceptable thing.

"This is a matter between Datang and Wanxiang City, why does Elder He think the Yuhua Sect is meddling?"

Li Xiu put his eyes on He Anzai's body and asked.

The implication is obvious, that is, the meaning of your Yuhuamen is not qualified.

He Anzai didn't speak, just lowered his head slightly to express his respect, there was no killing intent in his eyes, he wanted to do this just because Wanxiangcheng wanted to do this.

What's more, at the beginning, Xiao Boru broke through the Six Realms, shattered the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, and broke the page for the Five Realms Grandmasters in the whole world.

It reduces the difficulty of breaking into the Six Realms for everyone, and it can be said that this is a big favor.

"The sword trial conference is a matter of great attention in the world, and it is more about the quota of Cangshan Negative Snow, and Wanxiang City does not want any accidents to happen during this period. ”

After being silent for a long time, Jiang Baigui finally softened his tone and said slowly.

Li Xiu said: "So what?"

There are two most dangerous places in Datang, namely Beidi and Xiaonanqiao, both of which do not allow any accidents, and the importance is much higher than your mere sword test.

"If Your Highness stops here, you can become a guest of my Wanxiang City, and in the future, you will be blessed by Wanxiang City in the Wasteland, and no one will dare to offend Your Highness easily. ”

Being able to get the friendship of Wanxiang City, one of the five major factions, is undoubtedly a great temptation for everyone.

But Li Xiu was still indifferent, and said lightly: "In two months, I will arrive in Wanxiang City to worship among all the first-class forces, if I lose, everything will be happy, if I win, everything will be over." ”

"Your Highness is determined to fight against my Wanxiang City, will it be possible to do it in the end?"

Jiang Baigui said in a cold voice with a gloomy face.

Li Xiu thought for a while and said, "If no one in the entire young generation of Huangzhou is my opponent, then what is the need for this so-called sword test?"

This is a very damning statement.

This also meant that there was nothing to talk about, so Jiang Baigui fell silent.

He An was standing quietly to the side.

Bujie and Ye Xiu and the others looked up at the sky.

The north city gate was ten steps away in front of everyone, Li Xiu withdrew his gaze with one hand behind him, and walked out.

Liang Xiaodao and others followed.

In addition to this city, I thought that it had nothing to do with the rules of the Huangfu family, and it was natural to divide a life and death, but Jiang Baigui stopped at the city gate and did not leave.

It wasn't until the figures of Li Xiu and the others disappeared for a long time that he spoke: "This trip is troublesome for Elder He." ”

He Anzai nodded lightly and said, "That person is not easy to deal with, either resolve the grudge, or find an opportunity to settle it once and for all." ”

These are two solutions that can solve the problem, he and Li Xiu have only met once, but on this side, he can feel the manipulation and secondment of this young man for the general trend.

It was a difficult person to deal with, and it was not only him who realized this, but Jiang Baigui also knew it.

So she nodded and said, "Thank you Elder He for reminding me, but in the end, how to decide is still up to the young city lord to decide." ”

The young city lord is naturally Xue Wuye, and now it is this young city lord who has stepped into the four realms for many years who leads the entire Wanxiang City.

He Anzai nodded, and was silent for a moment, obviously having a lot of complications in his heart about this Xue Wuye, so he stopped talking, turned around and walked away.

As a powerhouse on the Heavenly Scroll, even if it is only a first-class force, it is enough to make the five major factions respect him.

After everyone left, Jiang Baigui said to Xue Liangyun: "Miss Yun, the old body hopes that you can use your brain next time you speak." ”

Xue Liangyun's face sank slightly, but he didn't refute it out loud, in any force, the status of the Five Realms Grandmaster was not below the Holy Son and Holy Maiden.

"I'll tell the young city lord about this. ”

She waved her sleeves slightly, driving the bodies of the two to float into the sky and then flew in the direction of Wanxiang City, and soon overtook Li Xiu and the others who were walking on the ground.

A flash of urgency flashed in Xue Liangyun's eyes, and he said, "Elder Jiang, I will definitely listen to you next time, and I must not tell my brother about this matter." ”

The coldness on Jiang Baigui's face dissipated a little, but he didn't speak, but he walked faster in the air.

It would take about a month and a half to walk from Guiyang City to Wanxiang City on land, but if the Five Realms Grandmaster stepped into the air, it would only take five days at the earliest.

......

......

After watching Li Xiu and the others leave, Huangfu returned home very quickly.

At this time, the family banquet had already ended, but Huangfu Jingyao and the others did not leave, they were still sitting on chairs, the difference was only that the food on the table had been removed, but replaced with some small things such as desserts after the meal.

It's rare, but it's delicate enough and the taste is good.

Although it is not as good as osmanthus cake, it is not bad to change the taste of things that you are used to eating occasionally.

"Gone?"

Seeing Huang Fu Ji come back, Huang Fu Li raised his eyebrows and asked out loud.

"Gone. ”

Huang Fuli nodded, raised his chin at the small dim sum on the table, and said, "Today's dim sum, it tastes good, try it." ”

Huang Fu Ji stretched out his hand and took a piece, and found that it was indeed good, and then thought about it and asked: "There are only four people in our family now, if we make Wanxiang City bad because of this matter, will it be a little more than worth the loss?"

Huang Fu Li didn't answer immediately, but asked Huang Fu Wan'er, "Little sister, what do you think of Li Xiu?"

Huangfu Wan'er thought for a while and said, "It's a pretty good person." ”

Huang Fuli said: "In the Tang Kingdom, he is known as the next Zifei, and the person who can get such an evaluation is naturally a very good person, since he is a very good person, what does it matter if he offends Wanxiang City a little for him?"

Huangfu seemed to understand a little, and frowned: "Datang is indeed a strong country, and it is much stronger than any of the five major factions in terms of strength alone, but after all, the whip is far away. ”

There is a saying that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, which is the truth at this moment.

Huang Fuli got up from his chair and walked to the side of Xiaotang, staring at the lake that was slightly wrinkled with the wind, and said softly: "There is no absolute good or bad in this world, and there is no need to look at too many interests in doing things, for the rest of the first-class forces, it is naturally a very stupid thing to befriend Datang with the risk of offending Wanxiang City." ”

"But it's nothing to our Huangfu family, we don't need to befriend the Tang Kingdom, and Wanxiang City won't offend us because of such a trivial matter. ”

"I'm Huangfuli, if I don't blame others, it's already someone else's luck, who dares to blame me?"

His gaze slowly moved away from the lake, and finally he raised his head to look at the clouds in the sky, his gaze soft and calm.

Huangfu was extremely silent, and he also understood what his brother meant.

His brother was one of the most amazing people in the world, and he just did things casually, so why should he care about the eyes of others and think about those who have or don't.

The reason why he helped Li Xiu was because his friendship with Ye Xiu was really good, and on the other hand, it was completely because of Zifei.

It can be said that there is nothing to do with Datang.

"Little sister really thinks this person is good?"

After being silent for a while, Huangfu Ji's eyes rolled in his sockets, and he suddenly leaned forward and asked in a low voice.

Huangfu Wan'er glanced at him, took a bite of a small snack politely, and said: "I have also read the records of Tiance on the Tang Kingdom, and know what he has done for Xiaonanqiao and the Academy. ”

"And don't you think he's not bad?"

Hearing Huangfu Ji repeat this question again, Huangfu Wan'er frowned slightly, shrank back weakly, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince is a good person, second brother, what do you mean by asking like this?"

Huangfu smiled and rubbed his hands: "There is no special meaning, little sister, you see, this Li Xiu is not only the son of the Tang Dynasty, but also the young owner of Tingxue Building, which is more suitable for Li Yinan is friend of life and death, and he also has a big killer like the border army in the north, it is said that he also has Xiao Boru's favor, and his own talent is also excellent, and in the chess road, Fang Liang is willing to bow down, and his martial arts cultivation is also extremely remarkable, so that Zhenzheng Nandu looks at it squarely." ”

"If the little sister thinks it's good, the second brother, I'll go to Wanxiang City to find him, and then propose to you?"

His face was full of excitement, and he finally said something like this.

Huangfu Wan'er paused for a moment, as if she didn't react, and then her face turned slightly red, her eyes showed annoyance, she got up and threw her small snack on Huang Fuji's face, and then ran behind Huang Fuli and said, "Big brother, you don't care about him, how can anyone think about marrying his sister all day long." ”

The expression of this voice was a little coquettish, which made Huang Fu Li laugh, he raised his hand and patted Huang Fu Wan'er's head, and said seriously: "Little sister may wish to think about it, if she can marry Li Xiu, it will be a good destination." ”

"Why are you like that. ”

Huangfu stomped his feet angrily, turned around and ran to the old man Huangfu Jingyao, and threw himself into the old man's arms without looking up.

"The girl is big, and she knows that she is shy, and it seems that you don't seem to object. ”

The old man patted her on the back and said with a smile.

"Grandpa, hmph, ignore you. ”

Huangfu Wan'er ran away from the old man's chest, then glared at the few of them fiercely, walked to the bookcase and pulled out two books, then turned around and ran away.

The remaining three people looked at each other and smiled.

A few people are usually bored, but Wan'er's temperament is too tranquil, and it is rare for her to show such an appearance today.

Li'er seemed to be very optimistic about him. ”

Huangfu Jingyao walked to the rocking chair under the old locust tree and lay down slowly, his body swayed back and forth, and said slowly.

Huang Fuli stood by the lake and looked at the orange-red carp swimming back and forth, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Isn't Grandpa the same?"

The old man lay on the rocking chair and closed his eyes and did not speak.

Only Huang Fuji was still eating snacks there, deaf to the conversation between the two.

Anyway, with my brother standing in front, there is no need to worry about everything.

......

......

Wanxiang City is the largest city in the whole barren state, and any place is much worse than it, and there are countless monks who come to visit and seek advice on weekdays, and the huge Wanxiang City can be described as lively, like the middle of the day.

Especially recently, because of the approaching sword test conference, everything in the city has become more lively, and not long ago, everyone saw a very interesting thing about a sword from the tea record.

That is, a prince of the Tang Kingdom crossed the green sea and crossed nearly 10 million miles, just to come to Wanxiang City to stir up the yellow sword test conference.

At first, everyone thought that this was a funny boy who didn't know what to do, until they saw that more than 40 first-class forces from the Qing Palace and Ziwei Mountain and Ling'er Mountain jointly announced their withdrawal from the participation in this sword trial conference, which made many people stunned.

Looking down at the reason, I realized that it was Li Xiu who won the gamble at the plum hunting banquet, and more than 40 first-class forces were forced to withdraw from this sword trial because of face and promise.

You must know that the favor and commitment of the first-class forces are extremely important, not to mention such a thing as gambling, or simply don't participate, since you participate and lose, then you have to bear the consequences of failure.

But even so, the big and small forces above these wastelands still think that Li Xiu, the prince from the Tang Kingdom, just happened to win a gambling battle because of good luck, not to mention just letting the plum blossoms bloom, which is not a real skill, and the sword test conference is to see the real chapter under his hands.

But just this morning, the tea record of Tiance turned out to be updated again with information about His Royal Highness the prince, and two key news were mentioned very clearly.

First, Fang Liang is inferior to Li Xiu in chess.

Second, Yin Cao Zhengnan regarded Li Xiu as a life-and-death opponent.

The former gave great affirmation in computing power and resourcefulness, and the latter gave a higher affirmation in martial arts cultivation.

The two are combined into one, and the faces of the leaders of many forces are already faintly not good-looking, especially those forces who participated in the Fuyun Island incident before have been tossing and turning in the past few days, and their hearts are extremely aggrieved.

You must know that they have endured Li Xiu's great favor in front of Fuyun Island, regardless of whether they almost died because they were implicated by Li Xiu, but it has nothing to do with Li Xiu, just to know.

On the contrary, it was Li Xiu who won half of the day and broke the chess game to rescue them, which is a great favor.

If Li Xiu comes to the door in the future, will they participate or not?

Is this favor or not?

Many people had a great headache, and even after leaving the sect and taking the cloud boat to Wanxiang City, they still had headaches.

Especially when I heard that Wanxiangcheng sent Jiang Baigui and Xue Liangyun to make peace, the result was not successful.

A small favor is no more deterrent than the five major ones, and many people's eyes flickered, secretly beating their little Jiujiu in their hearts.

Just when everyone was secretly preparing, two more exciting news came out on the pre-tea record a month later.

Sanqiya and Wuliang Temple, which are also the five major factions, have announced their withdrawal from this sword trial conference.

As soon as these two news came out, many people's scalps were numb, and their eyelids jumped fiercely, and they finally realized the unusualness behind this incident at this moment.

This is definitely not just a conflict between a prince of the Tang Kingdom and Wanxiang City, the withdrawal of Sanqi Cliff and Wuliang Temple is not faintly expressing what it means.

Is it a warning against Wanxiang City's long-standing domineering?

And equally important is the attitude of Tiance, I heard that this prince named Li Xiu and the young master of Tiance Li Yinan are close friends, plus the tea record during this period of time is always intentionally or unintentionally expanding the influence of this matter, so that many people are also secretly speculating about the mind of this who is also a behemoth.

It's just that a lot of things never reveal any truth until they surface.

Wan Xiangcheng, who is the protagonist of these half-truths and half-truths, has never made any response, but is still arranging the sword test conference in an orderly manner, and at the same time warmly entertaining the major sect families who come and go to participate in the sword test.

Such a method made many discerning people secretly applaud, not that they were towards Wanxiang City, but this move was really remarkable to respond to all changes without change, not only showing the open-mindedness and atmosphere of the five major factions, but also inadvertently expressing their disdain for the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

In this way, the hearts of those forces who were originally a little worried were much calmer.

Time is never slow, it is always rushing forward.

Another month passed in the midst of such discussions and speculations.

In the blink of an eye, there are only two months left before the opening of the sword test competition.

All forces have begun to gather together, and at this moment, they can personally feel what thousands of families and thousands of sects are.

And in the early morning of this day, as soon as the sky was bright, a group of people appeared from afar and slowly walked into Wanxiang City.

......

......

PS: Same as yesterday, three in one
