Chapter 576 Candidates

Lijiang's voice was not loud, it sounded a little low, and there was a hint of hoarseness, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

But when the low and hoarse voice reached everyone's ears, it made them immediately realize why the sword madness left the river from Donglai Country to Kyoto City.

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes fell on Qiao Yuan again.

In order to avoid trouble, both of them have changed their appearances, and everyone naturally didn't recognize it, the man was Qiao Yuan, who threw 200,000 high-grade spirit stones a month ago, and they didn't recognize that the woman was the stunning Qinglian.

"No, I've seen the message from Donglai Kingdom, and Qiao is far from like this. ”

"Your message can't be wrong, how can the knife madness leave the river to recognize the wrong person?"

At the gate of the city, there were two sons and brothers of the family who heard the news, and they were talking in a whisper.

Not only them, but some monks who had seen Qiao Yuan's portrait also frowned and questioned.

Hong Ying was also among this group of monks, and she was quite sure that that person was Qiao Yuan, but he had changed his face with a magic weapon.

Qiao Yuan frowned, and he also had doubts in his heart, obviously he had changed his appearance, how could he still recognize himself accurately when he left Jiang, not to mention that it was the first time for the two to meet.

In fact, he didn't know that someone was secretly manipulating all this, and before he came here, Li Jiang had already received a message and learned that Qiao Yuan had changed his appearance.

"I'm afraid you've recognized the wrong person. ”

Qiao Yuan didn't want to cause some trouble, so he clasped his fists and replied lightly.

"Whether you recognize the wrong person or not, you will know if you have a fight with you. ”

Li Jiang didn't care if Qiao Yuancheng admitted it or not, he just wanted to fight him, because strength would not lie.

Qiao Yuan frowned and asked with some displeasure.

"I don't know each other with Taoist friends, I have no hatred and no grudges, why do I want to fight?"

He is not a belligerent martial idiot, and there is really no need to fight for no reason, let alone the slightest interest.

"Because Your Excellency is strong enough. ”

Lijiang didn't say much, it seemed that he was too lazy to explain, or he didn't want to spend time talking.

After speaking, he quickly raised his right hand, landed on the hilt of the knife on his waist, and glared hard with his left foot, and the whole person was like an arrow from the string, heading straight for Qiao Yuan at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

Qiao Yuan's brows furrowed even tighter, he didn't like Lijiang's disregard for other people's wishes, and snorted coldly, he didn't make a move, but dodged and retreated under the city gate.

Kyoto Castle has had a rule since ancient times that no one in the castle is allowed to fight except for the law enforcement team, and if they violate, they will be severely punished by the law enforcement hall.

At this moment, although Qiao Yuan was standing under the city gate, it also belonged to the scope of Kyoto City, so he didn't believe that Lijiang dared to ignore the Law Enforcement Hall and directly attack here.

Sure enough, Lijiang's figure was stunned and stopped a hundred zhang away, and the long knife in his hand was extremely dazzling, which made people feel a chill when they saw it.

When everyone saw this scene, they were immediately disappointed, including the middle-aged man on the city wall, who also frowned, his eyes showing disappointment.

"Fight with me, whether you win or lose, you will leave in the future, and you will never be entangled with Your Excellency. ”

Li Jiang raised his right hand, pointed the long knife directly at Qiao Yuan, and said loudly.

These words are equivalent to a battle post, if you don't answer it, I'm afraid it will cause countless people to laugh, but Qiao Yuan doesn't care at all, there is no reason to fight, he categorically can't accept it.

"Daoyou has recognized the wrong person, and there is no reason to fight with you. ”

After Qiao Yuan said these words with a cold expression, he turned around and walked directly towards the city.

He knew that if he wanted to leave the city today, it might not be possible, so he would find another opportunity to leave.

Lijiang didn't dwell on it, saying that he didn't let Qiao Yuan leave, he just stood a hundred feet away from the city gate, like a green pine, motionless.

Wherever Qiao Yuan passed, the monks naturally moved out of a wide road, so his figure was extremely conspicuous at the crowded city gate.

"Hmph, cowardly as a mouse, it's ridiculous that this kind of person can be challenged by the knife madness. ”

"He is only a cultivator in the later stage of Jindan, who is Lijiang, he is the first person in the Yuan infant period, and it is understandable that people refuse. ”

"Yes, in your place, do you dare to accept the challenge of leaving the river? Isn't that death?"

......

For a while, the mixed opinions almost drowned out Qiao Yuan, but he just frowned, and his mood was not affected too much.

The strength of the sword madness leaving Jiang was extremely extraordinary, and he felt a pressure just from the coercion just now.

Although it is also a great blessing in his life to fight such a strong man, he is unwilling to expose his strength outside Kyoto City in front of thousands of monks, which is really unwise.

In the blink of an eye, Qiao Yuan and Qinglian disappeared at the city gate, many monks quietly followed, and many monks stayed at the city gate, looking at the motionless Lijiang.

"Friends from Jiang Dao, there is a competition platform in the city, you can enter the city to compete with that person. ”

Some sons of families who wanted to watch the excitement couldn't bear to let a good show disperse like this, so they couldn't help but remind them.

Who knew that Lijiang still stood motionless as if he hadn't heard it, and didn't pay attention to the monks who reminded him.

On the other side, Qiao Yuan and Qinglian circled around Kyoto City, and changed their appearance and clothes again, before they completely threw off all the hundreds of monks who were following behind them.

The two discussed it and decided to find a remote place to stay for a while, and then find a chance to leave Kyoto City when the limelight passed.

They didn't believe that a war idiot who could stay in Donglai for three months would give up so easily.

In an inn in Xicheng, Qiao Yuan and Qinglian had just opened two upper rooms, and when they were about to return to their rooms, a breeze suddenly blew, and a man in a crimson coat appeared in front of them out of thin air.

The man looked to be in his early twenties, with black hair tied up with a red rope and draped casually behind his back, looking very carefree and casual.

His appearance is handsome, his facial features are delicate like carefully carved works of art, his eyes are as deep as the sea of stars, and his pupils are black and shiny, as if he can penetrate the deepest secrets of people's hearts.

When they saw this man who suddenly appeared, Qiao Yuan and Qinglian were stunned, and then the two of them reflexively retreated, revealing a look of vigilance.

"Childe?"

But when she saw the appearance of the person in front of her, Qinglian was shocked, her beautiful eyes widened, and she said in a trembling voice.

Qiao Yuan was originally surprised by the man's handsome appearance, but after hearing Qinglian's words, the two seemed to know each other, so he immediately looked at her with doubts in his eyes.

"He is the elder who saved me. ”

Qinglian lowered her eyes, a little afraid to look directly into the man's eyes, and secretly said.

Qiao Yuan's heart was suddenly shocked, but when he looked at the man again, he was a little less vigilant, it stands to reason that as an elder of the Shengshi Business Alliance, he should not be unfavorable to them here.

It's just that what made Qiao Yuan's expression change slightly was that the man stood there as if he didn't exist, and he couldn't detect it with his divine sense, and there was no fluctuation of spiritual power, as if what appeared in front of the two of them was a phantom.

There are only two explanations for this situation, one is that the person in front of him is a phantom, and the other is that his cultivation is far higher than Qiao Yuan.

He was only a foot away from the man, whether it was a phantom or not could be judged at a glance, thinking of this, Qiao Yuan hurriedly bowed down and clasped his fists and gave a salute.

"The juniors meet the seniors. ”

Qinglian also gave a salute, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth, and with a flick of the crimson sleeves, the prohibition that concealed Qinglian's true appearance dissipated in an instant.

"I still like your appearance. ”

His voice was very soft, and it sounded very gentle, like a feather slightly teasing people's hearts, and if a woman with a weak will heard this voice, I am afraid that she would be captured in an instant.

Qinglian showed her original beauty, but the people who came and went in the inn didn't seem to see them, and they still went their own way.

"Childe, why are you looking for us?"

Qinglian's eyes were lowered, and she didn't dare to look at the man at all, and there was even more vigilance in her words.

"Come in. ”

The man turned around and walked straight to the closed door next to him, and when he got closer, the door opened automatically, and the three of them walked in together.

"Restore your true face, too, I don't like to talk to people who are secretive. ”

The facilities in the room are simple, only one bed, one table and two chairs, the man sat at the table unceremoniously, and Qiao Yuan and Qinglian stood straight at the door.

Hearing the man's words, Qiao Yuan reached out and took off the mask and regained his true appearance.

"I don't know what the seniors are doing to the juniors?"

"Oh, how do you know I'm coming for you?"

The man's eyes fell on Qinglian's face, but the words were said to Qiao Yuan, and it seemed that he was here to find Qinglian.

"The seniors asked Hongying to keep the juniors, even at the expense of closing the city gate, but also to wait for Lijiang to come here and fight with the juniors, and now the juniors are leaving, not as the seniors wished, the seniors naturally came to find the juniors. ”

After these things, Qiao Yuan already knew in his heart that all this must have been secretly arranged by someone.

Otherwise, how could he have known so quickly that he was in Kyoto City, and it only took a month to arrive here.

And the person who secretly arranged everything should be the unfathomable handsome man in front of him.

In addition, the auction of Qinglian was also secretly arranged by this person, and he was a little skeptical that his appearance was expected by this person, and even before he stepped into the capital, this person had already begun to pay attention to himself.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yuan only felt that the person in front of him was extremely terrifying, and after some calculation, was it just to let him have a fight with Lijiang, obviously not.

But Qiao Yuan couldn't think of what this man's purpose was at all, his cultivation was unfathomable, was it necessary to calculate a Jindan stage monk so carefully?

"You are very smart, this seat likes to deal with smart people, that Lijiang is extraordinary, and you are one of the candidates selected by this seat, and you are too. ”

The man smiled slightly, and his deep eyes looked directly into Qiao Yuan's eyes, as if he could see through Qiao Yuan's eyes.

"Candidate, what do you mean by that?"

Qiao Yuan's brows frowned slightly, and he suddenly thought of entering the Grass Spirit Valley and being treated as a chess piece, it seemed that now he was being treated as a chess piece again, and this feeling made him extremely unhappy.
