I still can't come back from the field, and I don't have the ability of some powerful authors, so I can write and save manuscripts on the go, so I can only seize a little spare time and find a way to squeeze out a chapter and a half, so I'm sorry, there are really not too many chapters to provide to you.

——————————

Shi Ming looked at Yang Ning, who had retreated, with a little regret, and knew that he had no chance to deal with him for the time being, but he didn't feel very sorry in his heart, after all, Yang Ning's martial arts were too amazing, if he continued to let Yang Ning shoot, I was afraid that he would inevitably suffer heavy casualties in this regard, he would not think that Yang Ning did not kill Boss Chu and Ye Mo, because he was soft-hearted, just with Yang Ning's indifferent and ruthless gaze, he knew that there was absolutely no compassion in this person's heart, such a person, it was better to let the colorless nunnery master come forward to deal with it. Thinking of this, Shi Ming raised his voice and said, "Lord Ximen, since Prince Zijing has already admitted defeat, I don't know who you will fight in this fourth game?"

Ximen Rin smiled faintly and said, " These entourages around this seat are all children in the Yanshan Yanwu Hall, although they are young and shallow, their martial arts are mediocre, but fortunately they are still a little arrogant, this ten-formation covenant should not involve them, but these children are arrogant, if this seat does not let them become famous, they are only afraid that they will complain about this seat, but they are still young, if they fight alone, they are afraid that they are not the opponents of Jiangdong Haojie, so let's do it, the two of them for a while, ask you for advice, no matter what the victory or defeat, you can increase some knowledge, I don't know what Hou Ye wants?"

Shi Ming was secretly angry in his heart when he heard this, and said in his heart, could it be that Jiangdong Haojie is training disciples for you, but although he was unhappy in his heart, he didn't show it, after all, he also knew that these teenagers around Ximen Rin were all Youji elites, and most of them would be rare pillars in the future, if he took the opportunity to kill a few, he could not only reduce Youji's wings, but also motivate Fang Cai's morale that had been suppressed because of Yang Ning's amazing martial arts, so he endured his anger and said with a forced smile:" The commander is too modest, since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and the entourage around the adults is naturally also the elite of Youji, last night the river has begun to show its edge, and today under the red cliff, it can naturally move the world. Speaking of this, Shi Ming's voice paused, and then he said in a long voice: "Qiao Changyuan!"

Hearing Shi Ming's summons, there was a slight commotion among the Bai Dao heroes who were originally standing on the first floor below, and after a while, a gray-clothed man walked out of the crowd, clasped his fists at Shi Ming from afar, and then said coldly: "Qiao Changyuan obeys orders, please show Master Hou." ”

Shi Ming said loudly: "Although Brother Qiao has always lived in a simple place and does not like to be public, but a set of swordsmanship in the sea is a few opponents, Ben Hou has always admired Brother Qiao's swordsmanship and martial arts, this time I intend to send you to fight, I don't know if Brother Qiao is willing to win a victory for my Jiangdong?"

That Qiao Changyuan is about thirty years old, simple in appearance, dark complexion, not tall, wearing an ordinary long sword at his waist, such a character can be seen almost everywhere in the troubled times, without the slightest trace of a master's demeanor, not like a master of the name, but like an ordinary villager, but between the words of the master is quite polite, there is no usual arrogant look on his face, obviously he attaches great importance to this person, but the middle-aged man seems to be unaware, just said coldly:" Qiao hadn't seen them shoot, and he didn't know what the odds were. ”

Hearing Qiao Changyuan say such deflating words, Shi Ming didn't show a little dissatisfaction when he heard it, but smiled instead: "Brother Qiao is too modest, please ask Brother Qiao for this time, no matter whether you win or lose, it is a lot of credit." Qiao Changyuan's expression was still wooden when he heard this, but he waved it again, and walked to the gangway next to him, and when he got to the deck below, he had his own boat to send him to board the floating platform in the center of the river.

Seeing this situation, Ximen Rin frowned slightly, no matter how deep Qiao Changyuan's martial arts are, but his qi cultivation kung fu is already quite good, although these teenagers around him, although they are all qualified, but after all, their skills are still shallow, but they are showing off their martial arts with some powerful tricks, if they meet such a calm and introverted opponent, they have not yet started, but the odds of winning are already a few points less.

Shaking his gaze at Ximen's solemn expression, Shi Ming was quite satisfied, and said loudly: "Lord Ximen, our side is going to fight by Yuzhang Qiao Changyuan this time, I don't know which two little brothers Lord Ximen is going to send into battle?"

When Ximen Rin heard the word "Yuzhang", his heart suddenly moved, and he immediately remembered the origin of Qiao Changyuan.

Yuzhang County is the sphere of influence of the Tang family, and it was originally a barren inland land, especially the neighboring Baling, After the two counties of Changsha fell into the hands of Wu Heng, the king of Yunnan, the Tang clan was heavily transferred to Yuzhang County to monitor the forces that threatened the king of Yunnan, so that Yuzhang County, which was originally an important place for business travel, received a great impact, not only the exchange of goods and goods was often obstructed, but also the good business travel was often regarded as a spy agent, and the people and goods were empty, so that in the end, the business travel was desperate, Yuzhang was tired, and the power of the Tang clan swelled up in Yuzhang, and the local family was suppressed and cleaned。

For such a family that has obviously belonged to the Tang family, the Youji Military Intelligence Division and the Fengtai Pavilion Vermilion Bird Division directly under the Xindu will not let it go lightly, and they have never slowed down their surveillance and infiltration, so the information about the Qiao family, I am afraid that the degree of knowledge of Youji is better than that of the Qiao family, after all, the enemy is often more concerned about all your strengths and weaknesses. And Ximen Rin is in charge of Yanshanwei, although he is nominally not affiliated with Fengtai Pavilion, but they are two sides of the same body, inextricably linked, with his status, he can naturally read all the confidential documents collected in the Qinglong Division. This time he went south, all the information related to the Yang family and the Tang family, Ximen Rin deliberately paid attention to it, and the Qiao family is one of the best families in Yuzhang, so it is naturally no exception.

Qiao Changyuan is the eldest son of the contemporary master of Yuzhang Qiao's family, but he is not a descendant, just a concubine born to a maidservant, and he has nothing to do, neither outstanding talent nor commendable achievements, so he only mentioned it lightly in the information about Yuzhang Qiao's family.

After recalling the few records about Qiao Changyuan, Ximen Rin relaxed slightly, glanced at the eight young men who were eager to try, and said loudly: "Li Lian, Ye Wei, you two go out to fight, you must be careful, don't rush into danger!"

A tall boy with a rather calm expression and a handsome young man with a sunny smile both showed a look of joy, rushed forward and bowed, and without waiting for the other companions to complain and fight, they had already jumped out of the boat and sailed towards the pontoon.

Qiao Changyuan didn't draw his sword out of the sheath until the two teenagers boarded the floating platform, he was just an ordinary green steel sword in his hand, but the sword body was dark, the blade was wide, although it looked dull, but only seeing the texture on the sword body, he knew that it was a good sword with a hundred refined steel, but this was not surprising, in any case, he was always the eldest son of Yuzhang Qiao's family, and it was reasonable to have a good sword.

The two teenagers stood still on the left and right, after holding the sword and saluting, at the same time, the two sword lights came out of the sheath, one sword light circled back and forth, the defense was tight, and the other sword light suddenly appeared, like a dragon snake, instantly covering Qiao Changyuan's figure under the monstrous sword waves, and the swordsmanship of the two teenagers was exquisite, and one attack and one defense, one fast and one slow, as if they had cooperated countless times, such a powerful joint swordsmanship, so that everyone in Jiangdong who watched the battle couldn't help but marvel in their hearts, no wonder these teenagers can kill people on the river, some far-sighted people think that these teenagers are just the tip of the iceberg faintly revealed by the strength of Youji, they can't help but be afraid of this action of participating in the robbery and killing of Ximen Rin and his party.

At the moment when the sword light burst out, Qiao Changyuan's figure had already taken two steps back, and the green steel sword was drawn flatly, and there were no subtle sword moves, but the double swords of Li Lian and Ye Wei who were attacking by the trend couldn't help but slow down, and they were actually blocked by force. The eyes of the two teenagers showed surprise at the same time, but they were not overly surprised, after all, since the other party dared to go into battle, it must not be easy, so they were stunned, and the sword momentum turned around, and they had already divided and attacked again. Qiao Changyuan's expression did not change, and he was not moved by the two teenagers' tacit understanding of the swordsmanship, but he stabbed the long sword in his hand straight and flat, using a simple and unpretentious swordsmanship all the way, and the moves were clumsy and straightforward, and it looked featureless, but no matter how exquisite the two teenagers were, they could not penetrate the sparse sword net under the Qingfeng sword. It's just that although Qiao Changyuan's defense is tight, his attack is extremely weak, even if he occasionally counterattacks with one sword or two swords, he is also weak and powerless, and there is no threat.

Ximen Rin's heart was relieved when he saw this, and he knew that his guess was really good. According to the information obtained, Ximen Rin knew that the Qiao family had often sent caravans to and from Yuzhang and Southern Xinjiang in recent years to conduct private transactions, and Qiao Changyuan was not loved by his father, and he worked hard with the caravan all the year round, and this kind of smuggling caravan often had to face various threats, sometimes bandits, sometimes the army, so there were often conflicts and battles, and Qiao Changyuan did not have outstanding achievements in this, but it was recorded that he was defeated against strong enemies, and he was defeated but not killed, so Ximen Rin expected that his martial arts must be more important than defense, but the attack was relatively weak, and he did not have the habit of attacking dangerously。 Therefore, Ximen Rin sent Ye Wei, who had sharp swordsmanship and was good at going sideways, in order to let him win by surprise, and for the sake of safety, he sent Li Lian, who was the weakest in swordsmanship among the eight people, but was stable and solid, even if Qiao Changyuan had any hidden fierce tricks, with Li Lian in battle, he could also protect Ye Wei in time. These two teenagers have their own strengths in martial arts, and they can learn from each other's strengths, although they are limited to martial arts experience, they may not be able to beat Qiao Changyuan, but at least they can retreat with their whole body, for Ximen Rin, this period of winning or losing is a small matter, and it is enough to be able to end peacefully, so after consideration, these two are almost the weakest among the eight people.

The mood relaxed, Ximen Rin's eyes turned, and it had already fallen on Yang Ning, only to see Yang Ning looking at the three people who were fighting on the floating platform, there seemed to be a little dissatisfaction between his expressions, and he couldn't help but move in his heart, and laughed in a low voice: "Zijing, are you reluctant to take a break for a while, it doesn't matter, after a few while, if you want to go up and challenge, you can always find an opportunity." ”

Yang Ning only frowned lightly when he heard this, and said in a non-trivial manner: "Why did you send Li Lian up, if you change Zhuang Cui or Zhiheng, their martial arts will also be ruthless and fierce, and they can join forces with Ye Wei to attack and break that person's defense in one fell swoop." Not now, the two of them joined forces, although they can be called both offensive and defrective, but they have wasted a lot of good fighters, if they continue to fight like this, they will not be able to tell the winner in a short time, but if the time drags on, that person has deep internal strength and rich experience, and he will be invincible. ”

Ximen Rin smiled faintly and said: "If Zijing encounters a strong enemy, I don't know if he will use a fierce killing move at the beginning and fight to the death, or will he test each other first, understand the reality of the opponent, and then step by step, gradually strengthen the offensive, suppress the enemy's counterattack, until the melon is ripe, and then fight again?"

Although Yang Ning didn't know what the art of war and tactics were, if it involved in martial arts, he was very insightful, and immediately understood the meaning of Ximen Rin's words, and couldn't help but argue: "If it is evenly matched, it should naturally be done safely, but although the two people you sent were guided by the Master and were talented, martial arts were only second-rate after all." However, their opponent can be called a first-class master, and this person is not only forbearant and introverted, but also profound, just look at his steady steps, lift weights like light, and his deep swordsmanship, you know that he is not an ordinary first-class master. Since such a person can not move like a mountain when he defends, then when he attacks, he will definitely invade like fire, and he will lose if he defends for a long time. And I think that the swordsmanship he has displayed is a way to prepare for the attack, and it will be difficult to launch it in a hurry, and it will be difficult to launch it until the enemy is tired from a long battle, and he is in the middle of a hot battle, so that he can only make a natural come, and use an extremely fierce offensive to deal with such an opponent, and he can only take advantage of his situation when he is not successful, if he shows his strengths and potential, even if you and I personally take action, we may not be able to win easily, you sent Li Lian up, didn't you throw away the odds of victory?"

When Ximen Rin heard this, he also deeply admired Yang Ning's eyesight, that is, at this moment, although he already had a general understanding of Qiao Changyuan's martial arts, he couldn't say anything like this, it can be seen that he is limited to qualifications, and he is distracted by power and wealth, and it is still difficult to achieve success in martial arts, even this young nephew who is only seventeen years old is quite inferior, but Yang Ning still didn't pay attention to his meaning after all, it can be seen that Yang Ning doesn't know anything about the intrigue, and then thinks that Luo Chengyu is only two years older, but he has a powerful means to turn the clouds and rain, compared with the two, there is almost a world of difference, even Ximen Rin, can't help but feel unbearable about the decision of the Lord of Huofeng.

calmed down the disordered mind and covered up the pity in his heart, Ximen Rin sighed: "Zi Jing may only care about the outcome of this game, but this seat can't be like this, this period is just a game of mutual testing between me and Shi Ming, and the person he sent is very good at defense, that is, to play steadily and steadily, to test the strength of these children." In addition to this seat and Deputy Commander Ling, no one else has the strength to ensure victory, only three formations, Zijing you have two wins and one loss, and Deputy Commander Ling has not healed from internal injuries, if you are on the field, most of them are defeated and winless, although this seat is conceited, but against the wheel strategy of Jiangdong's masters, winning two battles in a row is still somewhat certain, and it is quite reluctant to win three battles in a row, and it is really powerless to win four battles in a row. Therefore, the covenant of the ten formations, if it is only with you and me, you can win five formations at most, and the key to victory or defeat is on the remaining four formations, and only Zhiheng and the eight of them can deal with the four formations at that time, so this time I hope that everyone wants to be able to win in a dignified manner, without leaving any truth for the Jiangdong side, it all depends on Zhiheng's ability, they only need to win for a while, and the pressure on this seat is much smaller, if they win two battles, then this seat can win steadily. Therefore, losing one or two games does not hinder us, and the intention of this seat is to win both battles, but also to preserve the strength to cope with the situation after the decisive battle. Zijing, since you can see the opportunity to defeat Qiao Changyuan, can't I see it, this time I let Li Lian and Ye Wei make a move, and I also know that it is difficult for them to win, but even the two strongest are sent out, under Qiao Changyuan's deep ditch and high base swordsmanship, the chance of winning is only three points. And if this formation is a fluke victory, it will inevitably make Shi Ming's heart uneasy, the following three formations of Shi Ming will inevitably send strong martial arts henchmen to the field, when the time comes, not only will it be difficult for these children to win, I am afraid that there will inevitably be a few deaths on the stage, rather than end up with such a result, this seat would rather seek stability, let them survive the three formations smoothly, and then try to win the last formation, and then this seat will try to win three battles in a row. ”

Yang Ning understood what Ximen Rin meant, but he didn't like it very much, and said without thinking: "Since these people are the disciples of Yan Shanwei, they will eventually turn to the world in the future, and be accompanied by blood killing all day long, even if they live today, they may not be able to die in the future, it is better to let them fight to the death, whether they live or die, win or lose, they will always live up to the prestige of Yanshan." ”

Ximen Rin's body shook slightly, and he looked at Yang Ning intently, only to see that his delicate face had an extremely stubborn look, obviously these words were what he thought in his heart, and there was no pretension at all, at this moment, Ximen Rin suddenly understood in his heart that this arrogant young man not only did not take other people's lives to heart, but also his own life did not take his own life to heart, a wisp of stinging pain spread from his heart for some reason, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, and sighed after a while: " Love is deep and long-lived, strong is humiliating, Zijing, your temperament is too arrogant, life is precious, how can you give up lightly, don't act too stubbornly, you need to know that life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, if you are always such a temperament, unwilling to tolerate a little, just afraid that you will inevitably suffer, even if you don't cherish your life, is there no one in this world who cares about you?"

Yang Ning's heart was shocked, for a long time, no one had ever said such a thing, although Ximen Rin's tone was full of lessons, but he could hear the heartache and eagerness contained in it, and the spiritual barrier that had been erected in the past few days had unconsciously begun to soften.

Noticing the shocking look between Yang Ning's eyebrows, Ximen Rin felt a pain in his heart, at this moment, he thought about Yang Ning wholeheartedly, and explained: "Zijing, I deliberately gave up this period after repeated consideration. Zhiheng They are young after all, and they won a big victory on the river yesterday, and they will inevitably become arrogant because of these victories. If Li Lian and Ye Wei are defeated in a hard battle, firstly, they can eliminate the idea of underestimating the enemy, lest they underestimate the opponent and even lose carelessly, and secondly, if they want to take risks to win this time, it will most likely be a fiasco, and if they lose too badly, they will inevitably be hit hard, so as to affect the following three formations. Now it's different, the two of them have no way to force out the opponent's killing moves, and Qiao Changyuan is not a person who likes to kill everything, even if he loses, there is no danger, he will only provoke the competitiveness of the remaining six people, which is more conducive to the next three formations, and when it comes to the critical moment, they will naturally not spare their lives. The so-called taking a step back and opening up the sky, instead of desperately seeking victory, Zijing should know where to go. ”

Seeing Yang Ning's expression moving slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression, Ximen Rin continued: "Zijing, you have just taken over a total of three formations, and there are many of them that are inappropriate, the first formation is just that, the trial is imperative, it is rare to have such a furnace, you just need to put more effort into it, but in the second formation, you should not fight with Ye Mo with the power of the soul." You should be able to see that Ye Mo is the head of both the Guangming Sect and the Sunu Sect, if it is normal, it will not hinder you to fight with him no matter how you fight, after all, it is really impossible for him to defeat you, but today you know that you are under siege, why don't you leave a little more spare strength, but you use your own shortcomings to the enemy's strengths, although you will win in the end, but you should know the danger. Besides, since Ye Mo is a disciple of the Demon Sect, he should not kill each other, he clearly knows that you are the descendant of the Martial Arts Sect, but he is determined to put you to death, this kind of person, you should kill him to prevent future troubles, how can you care about the friendship of the same sect and spare his life. That's not all, but in the third formation, you should never be, how can you put yourself to death for a pure sword, if the last arrow of Na Yi Buping did not resist the arrow, and there is still enough strength to spare, wouldn't your life be buried in vain. Zijing, you can't act too nonsense in the future, even if you want to do it willfully, you can't do it until you are safe. ”

When Zijing heard Ximen Rin's earnest teachings, she only felt that her originally cold and stiff heart seemed to be infused with a sweet spring. Although Ximen Rin misunderstood in many places, for example, he didn't kill Ye Mo, not because he cared about any friendship with the same family, most likely because Ye Mo gave him the courage to recall the past, and the unfair battle he promised with Yi Buping, it was not for Chunjun, but because he believed that Qingping would not harm him. But he still felt the same way for Ximen Rin's heart, and then thought that if he was not stubborn, he would have challenged the opponent's strongest martial arts, but would have adopted the means of bullying the weak to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, and Ximen Rin didn't have to let Lin Zhiheng, a "lowly" teenager with martial arts, go up to fight, only to feel that his eyes were hot, and his tears almost fell, he clenched his teeth, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and couldn't help but explain the truth to Ximen Rin, so that Ximen Rin knew that he had backup, and he didn't need to worry about it anymore.
