The scuffle came and went as fast as it could, with only a few exclamations coming from the Overseer's mansion, and the guards on the periphery had rushed over with torches to re-illuminate the grounds.

The residents guarding the street didn't even know what was happening inside, and were still talking about the romance of the Dragon King, and some people vaguely heard the word "Meng", and they didn't take it seriously, in the snobbish eyes of Biyucheng, Meng's has become a long-term story buried in the dust.

It was as if nothing had happened in the courtyard, and the audience was all standing in place, and the person who had just screamed blushed and bowed his head and retreated.

The dragon king stood to the east, calm, his hands not even close to the hilt.

The whole thing was like a botched prank.

"Who? Who was shouting and screaming just now? Who turned off the lights?" asked Pang Jing angrily and loudly.

Obviously, someone was shouting to avenge the Meng clan, and everyone heard it, but everyone felt that the cry was coming from another direction, so they looked at each other, and no one squeaked.

As for the dozen or so giant candles around the venue, it turned out that someone had moved in advance, and the wick was only a short section, which was calculated quite accurately, and it was actually extinguished at the same time, and it was a bit of a coincidence that it could just catch up with the second watch.

No matter what the purpose of this scramble was, it ruined the atmosphere of the whole competition, the "master" Mo Chu ignored it as always, and seemed to sleep more soundly, Pang Jing hesitated for a while, probably thinking that it was not worth being angry about such a trivial matter, and laughed: "The customs of Biyu City are really different from those of the Central Plains, and the competition continues." ”

Dozens of soldiers from the Central Plains and the Dragon King stood in a circle with torches in their hands, and it was impossible to get the lights out at the same time this time.

Gu Shenwei remained silent, as soon as the light recovered, his gaze swept around the courtyard, Old Man Mu, Tu Gou, Shangguan Fei and others were all staying in place, without any movement, and the warriors selected by Hu Shining also performed their duties, only three people walked into the venue with the guards, all within the sight of the Dragon King.

Gu Shenwei still felt that something was wrong, walked into the venue slowly, looked at Chu Nanping opposite, and suddenly accelerated his pace, and the audience also noticed something strange at this time: Chu Nanping, who was supposed to enter the arena with the Dragon King, actually stood motionless.

The Dragon King's guards immediately ran over, put down Chu Nanping, and carried him out of the governor's mansion with a gust of wind, and the surprised crowd automatically gave way, and then someone pointed to the ground and shouted, "Blood!"

The confusion that had just subsided was about to rekindle, and Gu Shenwei did not leave with the guards, but stood in place, quickly glanced at the audience a few steps away, and then strode towards one of them, drawing his sword out of its sheath with his right hand.

The possible confusion was pressed down by Shengsheng, Pang Jing didn't speak, and even Mo Chu, who was pretending to be asleep, opened one eye and looked at the dragon king who drew his sword.

The target targeted by Gu Shenshang was a middle-aged man in his thirties, slightly chubby, white skin, and a sparse beard under his chin, many people recognized him, "Jia Lian, are you mistaken?" The crowd whispered, but the audience standing next to Jia Lian immediately gave way to both sides.

Jia Lian was very calm, but his smile was a little reluctant, "Dragon King, what do you mean by this?"

Gu Shenwei asked, "Who brought him in?"

A fat man covered in sweat ran over, "I brought it, Dragon King, Jia Lian sells some groceries in Nancheng, he doesn't know martial arts, there is probably a misunderstanding here......"

The fat man is a famous big hood in Nancheng, and he keeps twisting his hands and defends Jia Lian in a panic.

Gu Shenwei glanced at the fat man, ignored him, raised his left hand, and said, "This is something from your store?"

Many people didn't see clearly what the dragon king was holding in his fingers, and the fat man was close, so he glanced at it, turned his head and said to everyone: "It's a needle, an ordinary thin needle, everyone has a few at home." ”

"Probably, people come to buy this kind of stuff almost every day. Jia Lian remained calm.

Gu Shenwei took three steps to the right front, the fat man hurriedly got out of the way, keeping a distance of seven or eight steps from the dragon king, he had heard of the rules, and within five steps he might provoke the dragon king to use the knife.

That's right, it's him, Gu Shenwei secretly said, he found this steel needle when he checked Chu Nanping's injury, judging from the location of the injury, the hidden weapon must have come from the direction of Jia Lian, although there were four people who were suspicious, but when he swept his eyes, only this Jia Lian showed unusual calmness.

This is a performance of a person over-covering up.

Gu Shenwei had already determined that this was the assassin, but in front of hundreds of people, he needed more direct evidence, "What is your relationship with Deyi Lou?"

"It doesn't matter, maybe someone has come to me to buy something. Jia Lian said calmly, not admitting any of the charges.

The fat man standing on the side interjected at this time: "Hey, Jia Lian, didn't you do business in Wangcheng Lane before?

The fat man only wanted to clear himself, but he had no intention of lying for Jia Lian, the two had a good relationship, and taking him into the governor's mansion was purely a business.

Jia Lian was speechless for a while, the crowd came around, and Pang Jing stood in the innermost circle, watching this scene with great interest.

"That was a long time ago. Jia Lian pondered for a while and said, "The disciples of the proud building are all dead, and they don't recognize ...... what do you know?"

Halfway through his words, Jia Lian jumped out of the crowd and rushed to the northwest wall, where there were the fewest guards and no master on duty.

Jia Lian, who didn't know martial arts in the eyes of acquaintances, actually showed a good light skill, and everyone was stunned, especially the fat man, who looked at the figure with his mouth wide open, and the sweat on his face was even more.

Gu Shenwei didn't move, another figure chased after him, Jia Lian jumped to the wall and had an unstable foothold, the pursuer was already standing beside him, and with a palm strike, Jia Lian fell back into the courtyard and was surrounded by guards.

Luo Qikang, a swordsman from the Central Plains, stood on the wall and nodded to Pang Jing.

Pang Jing shouted in an exaggerated voice: "Are you dead?" Okay, you dare to destroy the contest in front of me and the Dragon King......

Jia Lian didn't die, he was escorted over by the guards, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and his eyes were full of resentment when he looked at the Dragon King, "That's right, I want to avenge the proud building, you are the culprit, but unfortunately I am not your opponent, Chu Nanping is the biggest traitor, he should have died a long time ago, haha, he was poisoned by a needle, and he won't live long, kill one, and I'm worth it." ”

Jia Lian admitted that he was an assassin in public, and others admired the dragon king's accurate vision, but the fat man who brought Jia Lian in was scared half to death, "Jia Lian, I fucking treat you as a good friend, and you hurt me a lot." Then he knelt down to the Dragon King and Pang Jing, kowtowing to both sides, "I'm damned, I'm blind, but I really don't know anything......"

Pang Jing pursed his lips, "I don't care about this, life and death are in the hands of the Dragon King." ”

The fat man had already ignored his face, walked a few steps on his knees, and begged pitifully, "The dragon king spares his life......"

Gu Shenwei ignored him and walked straight to Jia Lian, and the guards let go of their hands and stepped aside.

Jia Lian's white face had a fierce look, "The Drum Immortal has a spirit in the sky!"

Gu Shenwei waved his knife, Jia Lian raised his hands, threw dozens of steel needles, and dotted cold stars, startling the onlookers, and before they could react, the Dragon King had already ended the battle.

The steel needles seemed to be blown by a strong wind, and they were weak halfway, and they fell one after another, and the dragon king's narrow knife swept in front of Jia Lian, leaving no wounds.

"Good knife technique. Pang Jing praised loudly, most people didn't see the path of this knife at all, but they all applauded with Lord Du's protector.

Gu Shenwei turned around and walked in front of the fat man, and threw the steel needle in his left hand on the ground, "You are not allowed to enter the governor's mansion one step further." ”

The fat man kowtowed again and again to thank him, and his status in Biyu City was likely to plummet because of this, but he finally saved his surname.

"The contest is over. Gu Shenwei said, nodded to Pang Jing, opened the way by the guards, and walked out.

It was only at this time that an extremely thin blood line appeared in the middle of Jia Lian's face, from the hairline to the chin, Luo Qikang walked over, gently pushed the corpse to, and pointed at Pang Jing, the corner of his mouth slightly raised to the upper right.

On the way back to the Protector's Mansion, there were several theories about the life and death of Chu Nanping alone: first dead and then alive, first alive and then dead, dead on the spot, half dead and half alive, and so on.

In the end, Long Chuanyun sent someone to send accurate news: Chu Nanping was not dead, and Doctor Sun was detoxifying him.

Chu Nanping was so engrossed in tonight's martial arts competition that he completely ignored the audience behind him, and the guards did not slack off, but they focused on those who knew martial arts, and no one would have thought that Jia Lianhui would be a threat.

As soon as he returned to the Protector's Mansion, news came that the batch of problematic candles in the Governor's Mansion had been purchased from Jia Lian's shop, and Mo De was so worried that he immediately asked Merlin to escort the servants in charge of the purchase to the Dragon King.

The servant couldn't say anything, and begged vigorously, claiming that he had been deceived, took a kickback of dozens of taels from Jia Lian, and bought a batch of goods, and that's it.

The servant was taken into custody, and Gu Shenwei, Long Chuanyun and others felt that he was innocent.

In the early hours of the morning, the exhausted Doctor Sun came to the Dragon King's study and announced that he had revived Chu Nanping, "This Jia Lian doesn't use poison, several kinds of it are mixed together, but it saves Xiao Chu's life, but it is more troublesome to drive poison." Xiao Chu's life was saved, but I don't dare to guarantee that it will be intact, if he becomes stupid or something, he can't blame me. ”

No one complained about Doctor Sun, Gu Shen ordered everyone to go to rest and wait in the study by himself.

As soon as the morning dawned, the southern city was still silent, the old man Mu and the slaughtered dog returned, and the two accepted the dragon king's hints, spying on the fat man, and catching the target when he wanted to escape and handed it to the dragon king.

The fat man collapsed on the ground, sweating a lot on his face as if he was washing his face, "Dragon King, have you already let me go?"

"One person launches a hidden weapon, and one person pops out**, your cooperation with Jia Lian is really tacit. Gu Shenwei said coldly, Jia Lian's martial arts can barely be regarded as a master, and if he wants to plot Chu Nanping, he is still a little short, and someone must cooperate.

The fat man trembled, "Dragon King, listen to my explanation, Xiaoyuetang, this is all Xiaoyuetang's idea." ”
