There was still a little time left before the second watch, and the audience, with strong curiosity, swept their eyes over the two contestants, but never stopped, and the discussion was more reserved.

Even Pang Jing, the protector of the Western Regions, sat in a much more formal posture, but the person he was more concerned about was the Dragon King, and suddenly turned around and said: "The princess likes this kind of thing the most, if she knows that there is this competition, she may come with me." ”

Pang Jing's tone was calm, as if he was just chatting casually, without any hidden meaning.

Gu Shenwei thought a little more about his surname, and he wondered very much, since Princess Huaping was deeply loved by the old emperor and held great power, why would she marry Pang Jing and willingly accept a marriage in name only? As far as he knew, Pang Jing was born in a foreign relative, but he was outside the court struggle, and he had not held an important position before, and his trip to the Western Regions was his first time serving the country.

"The Western Regions are not suitable for the Central Plains, and it was the right choice for the princess not to come. Gu Shenwei said.

Pang Jing laughed twice, and his face suddenly sank, "'The Western Regions are not suitable for the people of the Central Plains', if you say this in the imperial court, you will be drowned by those ministers with spittle." Luo Qikang doesn't believe in this sentence, he always says that there is no difference in martial arts in the world, showing that there are thousands of changes, in fact, there are several fixed types, maybe no more than ten, as long as you recognize it, you will definitely be able to find a way to crack it. Hey, but he's dead, dead in Biyu City. Is the type of martial arts in the Western Regions special?"

Gu Shenwei actually felt that Luo Qikang's view of martial arts was very reasonable, but he didn't know how to answer, the swordsmanship of the lotus girl was beyond the scope of his understanding, and in the face of the invisible sword qi, it seemed impossible to deal with it.

He couldn't help but glance at Shangguan Ru with his afterglow, she said that she had created a move that specialized in restraining the sword technique of the dead man's scripture, even if it was true, would she be able to catch the sword qi of the lotus girl?

"Luo Qikang died in an assassination. Gu Shenwei explained to Pang Jing, "He hasn't had time to observe what type of martial arts Old Man Mu is. ”

He also encountered several assassinations in the Central Plains. Pang Jing's expression was gloomy, "But the assassins are not very powerful, and the masters of the Central Plains disdain to use sneaky methods, perhaps this is the reason why the Central Plains people are not suitable for Biyu City." So that's all going to have to change, assassinations are going to be banned, and Knighthouse has given up on killers, and that's a start, a good start. ”

Perhaps thinking that the last few words were too formal, Pang Jing let out another burst of laughter, diluting the seriousness in it, which made him recover a little of his demeanor when he first arrived in Biyu City, and then immediately changed the topic, "The Dragon King is very familiar with these two, right?"

"It's ok. ”

"How will the Dragon King feel if one of them dies later?" Pang Jing's expression became more and more casual, and he even pretended to be crazy and stupid, as if this would make his question less abrupt and rude.

Gu Shenwei leaned slightly to the side, approached Pang Jing and said, "I don't know, if you die in Biyu City, how will the princess feel?"

"That's different. Pang Jing also approached slightly, smiling, in the eyes of the people around him, he was talking happily with the Dragon King, "I don't love anyone with the princess, she will be very happy to be a widow." What about the dragon kings? I probably don't want one of them to die, especially if the other is killed. ”

Pang Jing's eyes were shining, like a naughty child, he accidentally swallowed a bitter fruit, and he had to let others taste it.

Pang Jing's over-emotionalness made Gu Shenwei feel a little surprised, the Central Plains actually sent such a person to implement the strategy of the Western Regions, was it a moment of confusion, or was it an expression of contempt?

Gu Shenwei was about to respond to Pang Jing's intentional provocation, when an accident occurred on the field, which brought the conversation between the two to an abrupt end.

Before it was time for the official martial arts competition, Shangguan Ru actually stood up, and under the attention of everyone, walked through the venue and walked straight to the lotus girl opposite.

The humming whispers in the courtyard died down immediately, and after a brief interaction of influences, everyone stared at the two women with confidence and boldness.

Shangguan Ru had already lowered her voice, but everyone still heard her words, "Have you thought about it?" I'm waiting for your answer. ”

The lotus girl stood up, she was a little taller than Shangguan Ru, her expression was indifferent, as if she was deliberately condescending, and slowly shook her head, "A competition is a competition, that's all." ”

The words of the two had no beginning or end, and the audience's curiosity became heavier, Pang Jing observed the subtle changes in the dragon king's expression, hoping to find the answer from it, but he was disappointed again, and the dragon king remained silent as usual.

Gu Shenwei actually didn't know anything, he hadn't even heard of Shangguan Ru and the lotus girl having contact before.

Shangguan Ru was slightly disappointed, and at this moment, the second gong sounded, "Let's compete." ”

Pang Jing walked into the venue in advance, he wanted to say a few words, and he had to speak before the people of the Western Regions made a move, "Another competition is about to begin." Pang Jing loudly announced, and the audience all stood up to show their respect for the protector of the Western Regions, "All eyes are on, no matter what the result is, it will be a major event that Biyu City has passed on by word of mouth." ”

Pang Jing glanced around, most of the audience nodded politely in agreement, the Dragon King didn't say anything, Shangguan Ru hung his head and was silent, the lotus girl seemed a little bored, he continued: "But someone just wants to destroy the city lord's competition. ”

The voice of the protector of the Western Regions suddenly became stern, and the audience realized that Pang Jing really had something to say.

"This person used to hide in the shadows, but now everyone knows who he is - Old Man Mu, a heinous demon, who once did all the bad things in the North Garden, and now he has come to the Western Regions again, and has deceived many people with a mask. ”

Pang Jing's gaze lingered slightly on the Dragon King and the white-clothed staff officer of Jinpeng Castle.

"But he did something wrong, he killed a Central Plains person, thinking that he could still get away with it as before, but the Central Plains would not agree, and I, Pang Jing, the protector of the Western Regions, would not agree. You are all the leaders of Biyu City, and I want to use your mouth to announce an order to Biyu City and to the entire Western Regions. ”

Pang Jing tried his best to control the expression on his face, his voice was still trembling slightly, it was because of excitement and grief, "Those who capture Old Man Mu alive will be rewarded with a reward of 10,000 taels and given a five-grade military position, if they are unwilling to be an official, they will be rewarded with another 5,000 taels; ”

The courtyard was quiet, and ten thousand taels of gold chased and killed one person, which was a big deal that dozens of countries in the Western Regions had never had.

Pang Jing has been trying to seize the focus of the city lord's competition, this time he finally succeeded, after the quiet, the city governor's mansion resounded with bursts of applause and cheers, the sound has not stopped, the shouts outside the mansion also joined, no one knows how the news spread, in short, the residents standing on the street waiting for the results of the competition, immediately responded enthusiastically to this bold wanted notice.

Pang Jing was satisfied, hurriedly said "the competition begins", walked to his seat, and when he passed by the Dragon King, he said: "I don't want to assassinate, I want to avenge him in the way of the Central Plains." ”

Gu Shenwei didn't squeak.

Shangguan Ru and the lotus girl walked into the center of the venue at the same time, the lotus girl stopped, Shangguan Ru continued to move forward, turned around after ten steps, the two faced each other, looked at each other for a moment, Shangguan Ru first untied the wooden knife on his waist.

The Lotus Maiden waited for a while before drawing her long sword, her movements gentle and slow, as if her weapon was extremely fragile and would break with the slightest force.

The discussion in the courtyard stopped, the pursuit and killing of Old Man Mu was a matter of the future, and the competition in front of them was more worth watching, they had to keep an eye on every detail, and they could boast to those who had no chance to see it in person afterwards.

In all the contradictory legends, the beginning is the same: "Their eyes are sharper than those of men, and I am too frightened to look at them from afar." ”

In fact, except for the blink of an eye, no one looked away, and even Pang Jing temporarily threw away the idea of revenge, staring at the two women in the field, and only used his afterglow from time to time to accommodate the Dragon King.

It's hard to say who made the move first, and the two acted almost simultaneously and didn't stop until the end of the fight.

Before they really make a move, the first thing they try is light skills.

Gu Shenwei had deliberately improved his light skills, and if he was chasing in an open area, he would be confident that he would not lose to anyone, but he was tossing and turning in a demarcated field, and he admitted that he was far worse than these two women.

Shangguan Ru is quite talented in light skills, when he used to play around in Jinpeng Castle, Gu Shenwei had to use all his strength to barely catch up with her, and got the dark incense floating shadow taught by the old man Mu, coupled with the Sumeru mustard true qi instilled by Fa Yan, Shangguan Ru's body is more light and agile, she used to be like a deer, but now she is like a flying sparrow, dazzlingly fast, but when she changes direction, she stops, and changes when she says.

The Lotus Girl was not left behind, in contrast, her body was more simple and practical, only turning within a few feet, but she could always close to her opponent's side.

Gu Shenwei hadn't seen Shangguan Ru's skills for a long time, and almost forgot that she also had the strength of a master, but she had been reluctant to show it, but from the perspective of a killer, no actual combat experience was still a very obvious flaw and loophole.

In the beginning, neither of them used weapons, but both tested each other with their left hands.

Gu Shenwei saw it more clearly than others: Shangguan Ru used the Seven Turns and Seven Tricks Centering Finger, another set of martial arts learned from the old man Mu, and the lotus girl hid sword qi, which was more powerful than the weapons in their right hands.

After more than 30 moves, Shangguan Ru suddenly changed his tactics and improved to retreat, and seemed to be very jealous of the lotus girl.

After a few moves, the sharp-eyed audience exclaimed: "The tenth son has been recruited!"

The people of Biyucheng are still accustomed to the title of "Ten Princes", and the audience knows that this refers to Shangguan Ru.

Sure enough, there was a small piece of cloth in the venue at some point, which was obviously part of Shangguan Ru's right sleeve.

Everyone was amazed, because no one had seen the Lotus Maiden draw her sword, and the weapon in her hand seemed to have never been moved.

Gu Shenwei thought to himself, if Shangguan had already comprehended the sword qi of the Lotus Girl, why didn't she admit defeat? Even if she defeated the Lotus Girl, how could she stop the battle between the Dragon King and the Dubu King?

Just when the stadium and the field were engrossed, the troublemakers came, and the voice of the old man Mu was as loud and erratic as usual, "Ten thousand taels of gold arrived, why don't you kneel down to greet you?"
