The heavy rain stopped, the sun rose in the east, and the noisy cicadas in summer rose again, taking the lead in welcoming today's grand event in Lingping City.

The Xie family's field is indeed extremely vast, not to mention the extremely wide area, and all the places that can be considered are arranged, which is worthy of being an ancient family with a name in the rivers and lakes.

The audience seats are divided into high and low, and the ordinary people who love to watch the excitement are not stopped, and the most corner of the position is arranged casually, which provokes thousands of empty alleys, competing for seats with each other, and waiting for the bustling crowd to fill the periphery, and the better viewing points inside are vacated, waiting for people with background and strength to claim.

Of course, such a place is indispensable to make a living, not to mention that the Xie family has opened a gambling plate and other businesses, it is said that the vendors who sell food and daily necessities in the alleys are also surrounded here, shouting loudly without affecting the competition, and there are also some people who flow around the whole field just to sell more melon seeds and peanuts and other leisure food.

Naturally, the big people can't sit in the open air, there is a special attic water pavilion open to them, there are Lingping City's famous cooks stir-frying dishes, and then there are charming little ladies serving wine and food, watching the audience heroes compete, occasionally come to a dance song, and the literati pretend to be crazy and stupid to sing a good poem bought in the town, which can be regarded as exhausting luxury.

"The power of these big families is also great, and they have stretched out their hands to the military circles, and there are even special armor soldiers scattered throughout the competition ground. Someone whispered.

The bright armor reflected the light of the sun, and these neatly arranged soldiers at least surrounded the inner circle observation deck, which had a great deterrent effect on some gangsters who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble.

The Demon Sect has several helmsmen, followed by many arrogant young geniuses, of course, the clothes are luxurious and abnormal, and the old guys in front of them who are well-versed in the world even cheekily get together among the stewards of several major families, and talk without the slightest embarrassment, of course, the people of the big family do not dare not give face, and the face work is handled very well, anyway, they can't see any evil side of the people in the Demon Sect.

The undercurrent is surging slowly in the calm on the surface, how dare the people of several major families believe in the Demon Sect, many masters around are hidden and observing, and there must be countless minions wandering in the Demon Sect behind the scenes, like unjust ghosts and wild ghosts, doing whatever they want but just not doing good things.

In addition to these two forces, there are also armor soldiers watching on the surface, and there are elite eagle falcons in the army behind the scenes to ensure the completion of the mission.

However, until the final trick appears, no one knows who is the final trader of the game, and who is the pawn being fiddled with in the game. However, from the unruly expressions on the faces of the people in the Demon Sect, it can be seen that the other party is confident.

The 100-person elite of the Jiashen Tent Pioneer Battalion is in a group of five people, choosing their own companions, and now they have led the most elite scouts in Lingping City, except for the three teams who went to the Dabi field prepared by the Xie family to hide, the rest are scattered around the known strongholds of the Demon Sect in the city, such as a sharp knife out of the sheath, like a heavenly eye on standby, playing the final work in this game within a game.

The elites who were mobilized from the Green Wolf Army and the Bai Family Army with Zhao Kai and the three of them were still kept in the dark, carefully probing the news every day, and then handing it over to the connector responsible for handling the news in the middle of the night with great dedication.

Many of the real masters of the stronghold have been dispatched, but what the sergeants who are observing everything do not know is that those Demon Sect masters who seem to be dispatched for Dabi have actually known about their existence for a long time, and they have regarded the sergeants who are kept in the dark as their targets, and now they are observing them in reverse, waiting for the order from the top to be issued, so that they can taste the taste of the annihilation of the whole army, and give the military bigwigs of this operation a head-on blow.

Therefore, the scouts sent out by the pioneer battalion did not dare to go deep, most of them just searched for suspicious people on the periphery, and the few who dared to go deep were masters who could ensure that they were not discovered, and they acted more unscrupulously.

Whether it is the bright side or the dark side, the positive and negative sides, the forces, all of them are in full swing according to the plan, the shock caused by this big competition is really amazing, Lingping City is like a big sand table, all kinds of forces are fighting openly and secretly according to a certain law, and then under the guidance of the Heavenly Dao, they will complete the consumption under the law of conservation of energy.

Some people lose, some people win, from a big point of view, this is just a small corner of the long history of the change of power, but for Jia Shen account is a significant first trial, whether it can regather the name of a hundred years ago, it depends on whether the foundation can be firmly established this time.

The result of their own grouping is that the three of Zhao Kai and the Hong family brothers are together, the positive and negative forces are like two layers of meat sandwiches, the elite of the army surrounded the temple, monitoring the suspicious people in it, and the real Demon Sect master was monitoring the sergeant who had already been exposed on the outside, but what everyone didn't know was that the outermost layer of the yellow finch was still one of the side in the army, and the five elite of the vanguard battalion of Jiashen Account were scattered around with more than 20 scout masters, who were the real insiders of the middle game of this game.

The stronghold they monitor is a temple where the incense is withered, the people in Lingping City do not believe in Buddhism, but the monks here are still struggling to support, and do not feel sorry for themselves, every day according to the fixed habit of preaching the scriptures, there is no food to go to the fate to ask for fasting, never caused trouble, on the contrary, as soon as there is a disaster in the city, these monks will run out to cure the disease and save people, and there are some skills, even the Great Chu people who do not advocate Buddhism have a high evaluation of this place, and occasionally one or two people will come to visit the newly repaired temple and hand over some incense money.

If it weren't for the information that has been continuously transmitted these days to prove that there are indeed Demon Sect masters here, Zhao Kaidu would still have doubts about whether the temple is a Demon Sect stronghold.

The remaining monks in the temple were still ticking on the wooden fish, and some old monks were preaching the Dharma, and there was no tension at all about the strange atmosphere around the temple.

"There should be real monks. Peng Jiu whispered beside Zhao Kai.

"I think so too, otherwise it wouldn't be so realistic, it is rumored that the Demon Sect has demagogic exercises circulating, is it true?"

"It's true, at first, when the Demon Sect Lu Shen was weak, it was just a small cult sect, saying that it was the Demon Dao, but the people in the Demon Dao didn't want to admit it, it was the government that had sent the court lieutenant to investigate, and as a result, wave after wave, they all went to the inside without turning back, and then the Demon Sect gradually became stronger, and there was a case of the people being bewitched, and the identity of the Demon Sect was truly implemented. ”

"The demons are a bunch of crazy people, and not being tolerated by the world is a necessary quality for them, so we must destroy him. ”

"Not tolerated by the world?" Zhao Kai muttered softly for no reason, staring at his hands in a daze.

"Hey, what's wrong, don't be in a daze!" Peng Jiu's hand shook in front of Zhao Kai's eyes a few times before he could be regarded as recovering Zhao Kai's thoughts.

The method of hiding the identity of the pioneer battalion sergeant is very good, because now Lingping's environment is a good time for the court lieutenant to dispatch, the court lieutenant level of Da Chu is higher than that of the local county government, and is responsible for a higher level of security and investigation tasks, and the arrester from the court lieutenant mansion was assigned to the city to guard around at this time, and everyone had nothing to say, of course, the number of places is limited, and only a small number of pioneer battalion sergeants appear in this capacity, and the rest are still like scouts, holding their breath and calm, metaphorically in the fields and grasslands, and the market is bustling.

Half of the bustle in the city has been absorbed by Dabi, but the commercial trade that should be carried out is still going on.

There was a group of court captains drinking tea and chatting in the teahouse in the west of the city, seemingly perfunctory about their duties and tasks, but no one dared to report it, because this group of black-clothed court captains each exuded a cold aura, and when they thought of their duties, they didn't dare to provoke them.

The windows of the teahouse are wide open, the summer breeze lingers on the cheeks, and the heat of the fragrant tea naturally blends into the breeze, and the casual atmosphere is almost materialized into the Lingguang Temple next to it.

Zhao Kai and Peng Jiu sat at the table by the window, chatting with a smile on their faces, looking very leisurely, which made the teahouse owner yearn for the unpleasant profession of Tingwei.

A small servant brought a plate of additional pastries and snacks, and greeted a few tables of diners diligently, Peng Jiuda threw it away, and a large handful of copper flew into the air, and then saw the little servant's arm flipped, and he took all the copper perfectly several times, and there was no one left.

Zhao Kai smiled, praised the other party's superb craftsmanship, and then continued to chat with Peng Jiu.

"Big brother, are we looking for a job in the farce, now the undercurrent in the city is surging, even the Demon Sect is standing on the bright side, the boundary we have been divided into is indeed a collection of good families, just look at the Lingguang Temple in the west, there is nothing except a bunch of poor monks, I don't believe that anyone will make trouble here." ”

"Brother, you don't understand this, what is idleness, let's look like we're drinking tea here, in fact, isn't it also to better integrate here, to condescendingly observe the movements around us?"

"Yes, yes, brother, you can point to the little brother again. After speaking, Zhao Kai pretended to stand up, picked up the teapot and was about to add tea to Peng Jiu, and the two of them smiled more and more proudly after being polite, which can be described as a model among the officials.

The rest of the tables are also so casual and comfortable, everyone's voices are not loud or small, just enough for the small people standing around to hear clearly.

The little guy's groveling smile became more and more proud, and gradually became a little hideous, but it was only a short moment before he returned to his original state and continued to serve the court captains upstairs.

It's like a wild goose array hovering in the air in the north, each of which has its own role and works hard to survive the migration together, but there are always people who can shoot arrows and shoot geese, and there are always geese who will unfortunately die, because they are incapable of jumping out of the chess game laid by humans.

And in today's teahouse, everyone is lazy or flattering, they are doing their jobs, being clockwork by the secret hidden in their hearts, running non-stop, it seems to be happy, no one makes mistakes, whether it is the identity on the surface or the action behind the scenes, the two sides in the teahouse have not shown any flaws, but they have long been doomed, because the humble chess pieces rooted in the chessboard cannot control their own destiny, they can only pray that the chess player will be higher, so that they can survive.
