The second floor of the osmanthus fang, even if it is not extended outward, can be used as a terrace for viewing, only to say that the inner room is not small, even if there is no shortage of various decorations around, and there is also a table with wine and food in the center, but two or three people stay here, it still seems a little empty.

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the girl Yu Chan who gave birth to a pair of peach blossom eyes really wanted to sit next to him to accompany him, Li Qingchen hurriedly raised his hand and refused in a flat tone: "No need." ”

With that, he naturally picked up the ivory chopsticks that were as amber-colored as he had in his hand, reached out and took a piece of fragrant fish from the plate in front of him, dipped both sides in the sauce, and then put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

After Li Qingchen put the fish meat in his mouth and chewed it a few times, he sat opposite, looking at it like a black and white clay statue on the altar, and then said with a motionless smile: "Brother Li is not afraid of poison?"

Li Qingchen's throat moved slightly, swallowed the fish in his mouth, and then said with a smile: "When I was very young, I was thinking, when I would be able to come to Chang'an and eat all the delicacies that I had only heard of, but had never seen before, that would be in vain, and the taste of fish and meat was so peculiar, even if it was really poisonous, I would admit it." ”

Qian San laughed and listened, and did not test more on this kind of boring joke, but diverted the topic and asked, "Brother Li is really from Youzhou?"

Li Qingchen's chopsticks, which were still holding the osmanthus sugar heart lotus root in his hand, suddenly stopped, and then said: "I grew up in Youzhou since I was a child. ”

Qian San smiled and clasped his hands in his sleeves, and asked again: "Then why did Brother Li come to Chang'an to participate in this Great Luo Martial Arts Meeting?"

Li Qingchen frowned slightly, groaned slightly, and said half-truthfully: "Those who come out to walk the rivers and lakes always want to leave a name for the world, that's all." ”

Qiansan smiled and leaned forward slightly, and said slowly: "Is it really that simple? This martial arts meeting is the first held by the imperial court after the new emperor ascended the throne.

Li Qingchen put down the valuable ivory chopsticks, casually played with a small wine glass that looked exquisite and clear under the light, and the swimming fish on the wall of the cup seemed to be alive, and said a dispensable nonsense.

"If I can get my hands on a good thing, I will naturally not refuse. ”

I only heard Qian San laugh and sighed softly, and then said: "The only disadvantage of talking about business with smart people is this, that's it, that's it, let's just say it directly, I can help Brother Li enter the top ten of the martial arts meeting, but after that, I also need Brother Li's help to do a trivial thing for Xia." ”

Li Qingchen listened to it and said with some surprise: "Top ten?"

Qian San smiled and pulled out two hands wearing deerskin gloves, and said eloquently: "It is true that with Brother Li's strength to force the spirit monkey back, at least he must be a master of the inner family who has entered the country with five grades, but at this Daluo Martial Arts Conference, which brings together the world's talents, please forgive me for saying bluntly, Brother Li's strength is still slightly lacking, Brother Li must not be angry, please listen to Brother Li one by one." ”

"Let's talk about the uncle of the country that Brother Li has just come into contact with, this new powerful man in Daluo has adopted a total of twelve moth righteous sons, all of whom are codenamed by the number of earth branches, all of them have unique skills, which are far from being comparable to others!"

"Hit the first one, called the Crazy Dragon, ranked fourth on the list of one of the three lists of heaven and earth people in the Hanging Mirror Division, this list records the strongest among the weak crown age martial artists in the world, there are a total of twenty people on the list, this person ranks fourth, but he is not aggrieved, because the three people in front of him are all recognized by the world, and they are peerless geniuses who inherit the martial arts of heaven and earth!"

"One, is the righteous son of the Zhenwu Hall Lord who has firmly occupied the top two since the list was opened, and has never gone down, and the other is the grandson of the Luoyang Martial God who claims to hold ten thunderbolts and has a dispute with the Zhenwu Hall Master, as for the third place, although the origin and achievements are extremely mysterious, even the Hanging Mirror Division is unknown, but since they are all ranked like this, it is natural to make sense. ”

"As far as I know, the first two will never come to participate in this Great Luo Martial Arts Association, and if the most mysterious third one comes, Brother Li will have no chance, this is not to look down on Brother Li, just in terms of the information that I know now, Brother Li will never be their opponent, let's talk about the crazy dragon, the cultivation of the five grades, although he has never revealed the heaven-given martial arts he has outside, but if he can suppress the evil tiger, he must still have a killing move, in the face of this person, does Brother Li feel that he has a chance of winning?"

Li Qingchen didn't need to weigh and calculate the strength of the two sides, so he replied honestly: "No." ”

It's not self-humility, because between martial artists, especially the middle three grades and the upper three grades, even if the gap between the two sides is just a small realm, it is a world of difference.

The path taken by the martial artists is the most undecenched, that is all by hard work, one footprint after another, the same five products, but entry and great achievements are two concepts, after all, they are also working hard to practice, and they are also young talents, and the innate gap between each other's dantian qi is not large, why should people be strong and you must not be able to beat you in a realm?

In this world, there are not so many natural defeats of the enemy, if you want to defeat someone stronger than yourself, you must have the same small advantages to add up, in order to cover the big disadvantage in the middle, this is the real axiom!

Qian Sanxiao was not surprised by this straightforward answer, it should be said that if Li Qingchen really said that he would definitely win, then there was no need to talk about this business anymore, and the money for a meal of drinks should be poured into the Yuhua River.

There is one kind of person in the world who must not do things with them, and that is the person who does not measure himself!

Being self-effacing and not confident enough may make people miss some opportunities that should belong to them, but at the very least, people who are self-effacing will not make mistakes easily, but they are different, they have never only dragged themselves into the abyss.

Having got the answer he expected, Qian San smiled and continued: " This mad dragon has to occupy a position, and among the twelve moths, there are three more people who also participated in the martial arts meeting this time, one is a ghost snake that is enough to match the evil tiger, the other is a rabbit who is good at the art of round light, and there is one, even the mad dragon will find a tricky golden bull, if Brother Li is unfortunate enough to face these four people, not to mention whether Brother Li's strength can win, even if he wins, it is equivalent to offending Uncle Guo to death, although this Chang'an is big, it is difficult to have a place for Brother Li. ”

"Speaking of which, then the seats of these ten people have gone to the fourth, and the fifth person, who is also a strong contender for the position of Wu Kui this time, ranks sixth on the list, and is the daughter of the military governor of Chang'an, and its strength, in my opinion, should be above the other three righteous sons!"

"As for the sixth person, it is Lin Mubai of the Chang'an Lin family, and the seventh person is a little overlord of the Pei family, and he is also the brother of the kid just now, and there are three seats left, and the imperial court has always assigned them to the good Fanbang Hu people as comfort, so Brother Li thinks, whose position can you rob?"

Before Li Qingchen could answer, Qiansan smiled and said again: " Da Luo Guozuo stretched, it has been more than 150 years, everything is changing, this martial arts will have long lost the original intention of screening the world's talents for Da Luo, the arrangement of these so-called positions, there are all parties behind the family, the powerful are contributing, the involvement is huge, ordinary martial artists do not dare at all, and they can't let their set position have problems, because as long as they are in the top ten, they can freely choose to join the Da Luo Military Department, the Criminal Department and even the Zhenwu Division Yamen, the truth of this, presumably there is no need to explain anything more, Brother Li will naturally understand. ”

Of course Li Qingchen understands, because of similar words, those people in the Youzhou Division have also said it.

This is the same as the imperial examination is a reason, even if ordinary people are lucky to get the champion, if there is no backer, after a few years of expatriation, it will not be long before it will be forgotten by the officialdom and the emperor, just ask the people who have been in charge of power in the past dynasties, and how many are born in the champions, not to mention, if you want to get the champion, just rely on literary talent, is it enough?

In fact, the martial arts association, which attaches more importance to personal strength, is actually the same, after so many years, it is no longer simple behind this, because the significance represented by the ranking is too great, and the major forces have already been carved up in secret, and it is not their turn to emerge as a warrior in the opposition.

Some people may say that this is not the same as the imperial examination, as long as you are strong enough, the examiner cannot reverse black and white, or let people directly impersonate, but don't forget, the forces involved behind this are themselves the people who make all kinds of rules, as long as they want to, they can also risk the world's condemnation and change the rules.

What's more, in this turbulent undercurrent Chang'an City, if they want to kill a person, it is too simple, they don't need more, they only need to send a martial artist of the third grade, it is enough to kill these so-called pride of heaven quietly.

Li Qingchen quickly figured out the truth, and at the same time broke out in a cold sweat because of one thing.

He didn't even know what the Hanging Mirror Division was still doing on the three lists of heaven, earth and people, fortunately, he was tired more than ten years ago, and the six grades of cultivation were completely out of the stream if he wanted to be on the list of people, plus the Youzhou Division should have deliberately helped himself cover up, otherwise he would have used his real name to come to Chang'an so generously, it was simply looking for death, just imagine those who had erased their existence with a conspiracy If they knew that there was actually another person who survived and arrived in Chang'an, then what kind of methods would they use to deal with him?

Sadly, this martial arts club is not simple, but if he doesn't stand out on it and squeeze into the top ten, how can he join the Chang'an Division, and how can he find out the truth of the original matter?

As far as the eye can see, this huge Chang'an City is unaccompanied and helpless!

Thinking of this, he finally became a little more interested in what Qian Sanxiao said just now, this was the first time he took the initiative to ask the other party: "You guarantee me to enter the top ten, so whose position is it replaced?"
