As soon as the night fell, the Protector's Mansion, which originally only invited eighty-seven spectators, suddenly poured in three or four hundred people, and on the surface, no one violated the rules, and the extra people were all the "entourage" of a certain big man.

The identity of this slave is not simple, the price is high, at least tens of thousands of taels of silver have to be spent, and you have to have a lot of friendship with the person who collects the money, and the harvest is naturally not small, not only can you get first-hand information, but also immediately elevate your status in the eyes of acquaintances.

The streets and alleys outside were also crowded with people, and after dark, the northern city was unusually lively, and many of them would later claim that they had witnessed the competition, doubling the number of spectators several times.

The dragon king himself came to watch the game, causing a stir, and there is now a dragon army team of more than 200 people stationed near the expansion of the military mansion, who are responsible for maintaining order in the streets and alleys and clearing a passage for the dragon king and other guests.

Gu Shenwei brought a real entourage, Fang Wen wanted to come, and was forced to rest by him.

Qin Yeming's feelings were different from others, as soon as he stepped into the gate of the Protector's Mansion, he remembered that the houses here all had a layer of golden walls, he naturally didn't dare to look at it, but he walked more and more lightly, for fear of accidentally stepping on a piece.

King Dubu did not come, so the Dragon King became the most important guest, but the host was not the official Mo Zhu, the governor of Beiting City, who lived here, but Pang Jing, a native of the Central Plains.

Ink is very obedient as an invisible man, sitting drowsy in his chair, listening to the noise around him, and if someone shouts into his ear, he will wake up with a series of surprised "ahs", as if he were a complete old fool.

Pang Jing presided over the game on behalf of the Central Plains, easily seized the dominance, enthusiastically pulled the arm of the dragon king, and met the flattering audience one by one.

This politeness took a lot of time, especially when there were always people who didn't think they could do anything and wanted to be different, such was the case with a Humpty Dumpty man who claimed to be He Donggua, whose waist was bent too low and was almost ignored, and then he squeezed away from everyone and followed closely behind the Dragon King, saying hello to the Dragon King loudly, as if they were acquaintances.

Qin Yeming mercilessly blocked in the middle, not letting this winter melon get too close to the Dragon King.

There were eighty-seven spectators, so there were eighty-seven chairs in the courtyard, and those who mixed in could only stand, but this did not affect everyone's excitement in the slightest, and they bowed their hands to each other, nodded their heads, and looked at each other, even if there were a hundred pairs of eyes, there was no way to see the hidden undercurrent.

Pang Jing was the most excited, the semi-open contradiction between him and the Dragon King did not seem to exist at all, and Mo Chu, who was sitting on his left hand, was no different from the air, he leaned over and talked to the Dragon King cordially.

"There is no such event in the Central Plains, no, there are rivers and lakes, and the court is full of some old people who can only dance and write, just mentioning the word martial arts can make them frown for a long time. Well, how nice would it be if we all solved the problem in this way? Simple, straightforward, efficient, haha, what does the Dragon King think?"

"Not bad. Gu Shenwei said perfunctorily, it is difficult to distinguish whether the story told by the abbot Fa Feng is true or false, but one thing was quickly confirmed, Pang Jing is indeed a concubine, and his wife Princess Huaping is indeed very favored by the emperor of the previous generation, and her nephew ascended the throne, and her power has not been greatly affected.

Gu Shenwei didn't plan to make the matter clear, and Pang Jing didn't want to, he shouldered the responsibilities entrusted by the Central Plains Imperial Court, so he could only put public before private, "I have to say that the Dragon King really has a vision, look at the swordsman you picked, he is proud......, right?

Chu Nanping, who was praised by Pang Jing, was more than a dozen steps away, sitting on his lap, bowing his head slightly, with a long sword across his knees, with a cold expression, like an old monk who had entered the meditation, strangely, this made his face more and more soft, like a woman in men's clothes, but when he occasionally raised his head, two cold eyes immediately scared away those who had ghosts.

No one will doubt the murderous intent in their eyes.

No matter how enthusiastic and complicated the polite words were, there was an end, and finally, more and more people had nothing to say, and even their eyes seemed redundant, so everyone's attention began to focus on that obvious strange thing: the seat of the Tianshan Sect was still empty, the sect advocate did not come, and the swordsman Fang Shuyi, who was supposed to be on the field of martial arts, did not arrive.

Jinpeng Fort sent a white-clothed courtyard strategist, and in the face of the surging doubts, he could only smile bitterly unknowingly, but when Pang Jing, the protector of the Western Regions, asked, he couldn't pretend to be confused anymore.

"What's going on? Set the second more martial arts competition, the time has passed, why haven't the people arrived? Did the Tianshan Sect admit defeat?" Pang Jing said loudly, although he didn't name names, his eyes were fixed on the Jinpeng Fort strategist.

The strategist stood up and looked anxiously at the door, "It's still a little short of the second watch, I've already sent someone to ask, there should be something delayed, it will be there soon." ”

"You can't change the set time. Pang Jing said sharply in an impartial tone, "The second gong sounds, and if the Tianshan Sect doesn't come again, it will be considered defeat." The first match was so contemptuous......"

The advisor became even more panicked, winked at a small hood loyal to Jinpeng Castle, and ordered him to urge him again.

The little cover struggled to squeeze towards the door, and when he was halfway there, he heard someone shouting at the door: "The Tianshan Sect is here." ”

It was Zhang Ji who came, everyone gave way, he walked straight to Pang Jing and bowed deeply.

"What about Fang Shuyi? The name of the report is him, and it is not okay to change people in battle, this is a fair competition. Pang Jing didn't get up, showing obvious surprise at Zhang Ji's loneliness.

"There's no need to compare, Tianshan Sect admits defeat. Zhang Ji said.

"What?"

"The Tianshan Sect admits defeat. Zhang Ji repeated.

Pang Jing stood up and slapped the armrest, scaring Mo Zhu next to him, "Admit defeat?" Zhang Ji, I respect you, but your joke is not right. ”

"Please forgive your sins, the Tianshan Sect really has a last resort, so you can only admit defeat. ”

Pang Jing frowned just like the old decay of the Central Plains he had described, and turned to look at the Dragon King.

"No one said that they couldn't admit defeat, so this one is a triumphant victory. Gu Shenwei said, his brain was flying, analyzing what the purpose of Zhang Ji and Pang Jinglai was.

Pang Jing's performance was impeccable, but Gu Shenwei didn't need to look for flaws, and knew that this was a scene, Pang Jing was one of the most important supporters of Dubu Wang, and Zhang Ji would never dare to surprise him.

Pang Jing looked very annoyed, and sat back in his chair, his brows still not stretched, and he didn't look at Zhang Ji in front of him.

The people around have heard Zhang Ji's announcement, and are passing the news out in circles, and the most reactions are unbelievable, in the eyes of everyone, the first competition is the drill of the decisive battle between the Dragon King and the Dubu King, and it actually ended in one side admitting defeat, which is really disappointing, and many viewers who spent money to come in began to feel that they had lost a lot.

"In this competition, the Tianshan Sect voluntarily admits defeat. Zhang Ji said loudly, this should be the responsibility of the Central Plains, but now he can only do it for him, "The winner is the proud building." ”

Zhang Ji bowed to Pang Jing again, then glanced at the Dragon King, turned around and walked out, before the person arrived at the door, it was rumored that he had flown into the Protector's Mansion from the street, which made the audience feel even more worthless.

"Fang Shuyi is dead. "The person who told the news was undisguised, and the voice was so loud that the whole courtyard could hear it.

"It's an assassination. Someone immediately added to it.

Zhang Ji remained silent and walked out of the door before the Protector's Mansion boiled.

Most of the crowd dispersed at once, and everyone knew that the most vivid news at this moment was not in the Protector's Mansion, but on the street.

Pang Jing was both shocked and disappointed, and shook his head again and again, "It's messy, this is the first competition...... It seems that no one cares about the draw for the next competition. ”

"It's good that Lord Tsugo-sama decides for himself. Leave. Gu Shenwei got up and said, and walked quickly to Chu Nanping under the escort of Qin Yeming.

Chu Nanping is still like that, as if he hasn't heard of the opponent admitting defeat, and is still seriously preparing to play.

"Let's go. Gu Shenwei said.

Chu Nanping raised his head, his eyes flashed, "It's you?" The contest was won without a fight, and he naturally suspected that it was the Dragon King who had made a move in advance.

Gu Shenwei didn't answer, just stared at him sternly, Chu Nanping may no longer be obedient to the Dragon King as he did before, but Gu Shenwei will never allow disobedience in public.

Looking at each other for a moment, Chu Nanping gave in, in this kind of thing, his strength is too far from the Dragon King, and the obedience habits formed over the years will not be broken, he stood up, and Qin Yeming left and right, followed the Dragon King out of the mansion.

Pang Jing angrily beckoned to his entourage, "Bring the sticker." ”

The second draw had fewer spectators than the first.

Not far from him, Mo Chu, the nominal owner of the Protector Mansion, was sleeping soundly.

It wasn't just Chu Nanping who doubted the Dragon King, as soon as Gu Shenwei walked out onto the street, there was a burst of warm applause and cheers from the crowd, Biyu City hadn't seen a high-profile killing for a while, and Fang Shuyi's death brought a big surprise.

"The Dubu King is a bad seed!" This kind of cry actually sounded in Beicheng, but it was the first time in the world.

It's a pity that the dragon king didn't appreciate it at all, and hurriedly left the northern city under the escort of the guards.

Between the second and third watches, it was the most lively time in Nancheng, and a magical assassination added fuel to the fire, and even the girl stopped doing business, and ran to the street, wanting to see the dragon king who had returned victoriously.

Fortunately, Long Chuanyun was prepared, and sent a large team of guards in advance to wait for the Dragon King at the bridge between the north and south cities, and opened a smooth road for him.

Gu Shenwei's foot had not yet entered the Protector's Mansion, and the entire Biyu City believed that it was the Dragon King who assassinated Fang Shuyi, and it was likely that he did it himself.

Fang Wen greeted the door, holding back his words, until he entered the study, and said, "Is this the Dragon King's plan?" But this is too anxious, we are going to kill the Dubu King, not his little minions." Don't look at Bi Yucheng cheering for the Dragon King now, it won't be long before they will say that the Dragon King is not keeping his word and promulgating a ban on killing, but he himself is secretly killing people, so all the promises of the Dragon King will be questioned......"

Gu Shenwei interrupted the military advisor, "I didn't kill people. ”

"Aren't you from the Dragon King Sect?"

"Before I went to the Protector's Mansion, I didn't know that Fang Shuyi would die. ”

Fang Wen was dumbfounded, there was no need for the Dragon King to lie to him, "That'...... This...... Is the murderer trying to help or trying to frame the Dragon King?"

Gu Shenwei was as puzzled as the military advisor.
