"The system is being analyzed......

"The analysis is complete, the opponent's physical strength is comparable to that of a second-grade peak martial artist, and the muscle explosiveness has reached the second-grade intermediate level, theoretically you will definitely not be able to beat it! If you can use the first-grade swordsmanship "Cloud Piercing Thorn" at a speed ten times faster than ordinary people, there is a ten percent chance of hurting the opponent. ”

"Yipin swordsmanship, it seems that it is difficult to use it with my current strength, let alone ten times faster than ordinary people, is there any other way to win?" Li Xiao retreated, and he was embarrassed.

"There is one, let a few masters instill internal strength in you, so that your strength will be temporarily raised to the first-grade realm, and then use the first-grade skill "Cloud Piercing Thorn" at a speed ten times faster than ordinary people, with a fifty percent chance of killing with one hit. ”

"Instilling internal strength? This is a thing that harms others and is not beneficial to oneself, who would ......?" Li Xiao said, looking up and seeing Hong Qi and Nan Di standing in the distance, his heart moved, and he quickly ran towards them.

Dozens of breaths later, a sword light pierced through the sky and violently pierced the black boar's body, blood splashed everywhere, and the wild boar let out a miserable howl, and fell into a pool of blood with a "boom".

Wu Xuan'er, the lord of Baihua County, held a blood-stained long sword, grinding his teeth and staring at the backs of the five rapidly rushing figures dozens of meters away, "Li Xiao! You bastard dare to escape! Don't let me see you in the future! Otherwise, it will end up like this!"

Seeing this scene, the onlookers involuntarily stood up from their seats, their eyes widened, and they looked at the big reversal on the stage in disbelief, they never thought that Li Xiao, who participated in the break, actually gave up the game and ran away, which made everyone petrify instantly, you know, they listened to the news of victory from the princess's mansion, the palace Ouchi and the prince's mansion, and they all bet on winning the pass.

Now, he fled without a fight, which means that he lost the game, that is, they lost everything.

"Haha! This time!" Li Xiao and the four old men ran to the martial arts arena with a smile, and as soon as he went out, he couldn't wait to take out the jade card and click it a few times, put it in his ear and said loudly: "Hey, cousin! We are rich! You hurry up and take the bet to the gambling house to change money!"

"Got rich, didn't you lose the game? I listened to your words and put all the money on you to win!" Chen Feng's surprised words came from the jade card.

"Hehe, if I told you in advance that you put all the money on me to lose, how could others believe that I would win?" Li Xiao said smugly: "Okay, you hurry up and go to Steward Zhou to get the bet, I have already instructed him to transfer the money in the account to buy me to lose, this time we are rich!"

"What!" an exclamation came from the jade card, "Cousin, you are so powerful, you deceived me! Okay, good! I'm going to go to Steward Zhou to gamble and cash out, but what about Your Majesty, she seems to have lost a lot......

"Your Majesty, don't worry, she is probably hiding in some corner now!" Li Xiao said mysteriously.

In the imperial tent of the martial arts arena, the officials scratched their ears and cheeks, angrily scolding Li Xiao, who had escaped from the battle, and many ministers who were so angry that they lost were looking for the empress, but when they were surprised, the empress seemed to have evaporated, and she didn't know when she left the imperial tent, and even Prince Zhao Jianfeng was gone.

In the imperial tent, under a table covered with red cloth, the old woman in the dragon robe sat cross-legged on the ground, grinning happily counting the stacks of bets in her hand, and kept chanting: "Haha! Xiao Zhao! We have made a fortune! It only took 50,000 taels of bets to confuse those fools! Li boy is really good, let us earn hundreds of thousands of taels at a time! Haha!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! Fortunately, he sent me a message for the jade card that day, otherwise we would have lost miserably!" Zhao Jianfeng smiled, stared at the smirking old woman affectionately and said: "Your Majesty, Li Xiao has made a great contribution to the empire this time, how about we marry Xuan'er to him?"

"Yes, but ...... Let's ask Xuan'er for her opinion. The old woman was stunned for a moment, and said after thinking for a while.

Outside the council hall of the Second Prince's Mansion, a group of servants stood tremblingly at the door of the chamber, and there was an angry roar and the sound of various items hitting the ground, this is the third time that the second prince has been angry, no wonder, today he lost 100,000 taels of silver, which is the income of all the industries under his name for a year, no wonder he is so hot.

......

In the next few days, the whole capital exploded, and the officials and nobles who lost their red eyes jointly wrote a letter asking His Majesty to severely punish Li Xiao, and the music sent into the palace every day could almost fill several carriages, for these, Her Majesty the Empress issued a perfunctory decree, asking Li Xiao to compensate for the loss of destroying the palace and the prison, and paid 100,000 taels of silver to the government, and the matter was stopped.

Just when the whole capital was surging because of Li Xiao's failure to break through, next to a bustling street in the east of the capital, five unkempt and ragged beggars were squatting at the mouth of the alley, looking intently at the gate of a magnificent school opposite.

They are Li Xiao, Xi Poison, Xu Yaoshi and others who traveled in disguise.

"That's the Heavenly Star Academy. Li Xiao pointed to the pavilions and pavilions standing tall in the courtyard walls and said to the southern enemy and the western poison around him: "Our purpose is to infiltrate the academy to explore the questions of this year's entrance exam, and by the way, solve the matter of Cousin Chen Yu's late entrance to school. ”

He was just about to say something when a white plate suddenly appeared with a few pieces of burnt minced meat and steamed buns on it, and the owner of the plate was a middle-aged beggar with black hair and a big beard, shabby clothes, and dirty clothes.

"Little brother, are you hungry? The middle-aged beggar looked at Li Xiao with a sincere face, smiling.

"Your Excellency?" Li Xiao was stunned, and saw that the West Poison and others around him were all holding steamed buns and gobbling them up.

Swallowing greedily, Li Xiao quickly grabbed the inside of the plate and the minced meat and stuffed it into his mouth, he hadn't had time to eat in the morning, because of his sensitive identity, he had to dress up when he went out, and he couldn't go to the restaurant, so he couldn't help it when he saw this good meal.

"He is a registered disciple I just accepted a few days ago, his name is Zhou Bin. On the side, Hong Qi chewed the steamed bun and said triumphantly.

"Registered disciple?" In addition to Li Xiao, Pharmacist Xu, Western Poison, and Southern Enemy all looked at Hong Qi with strange eyes, they couldn't have imagined that Hong Qi, who was famous in the Martial Domain, would accept beggars as registered disciples.

"What kind of expressions do you have?" Hong Qi saw the strange expressions of several old friends, and immediately knew what they were thinking, stared at them with wide eyes and said, "Don't discriminate against beggars, beggars are amazing!

Turning his head sideways to face Zhou Bin, he continued: "Apprentice, tell them how you relied on your humble status to get us food!"

"Yes! Master!" Zhou Bin was moved to tears, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with his head held high: "I ran half of the capital for these foods, and after several desperate battles, I took some leftovers from the mouths of dozens of vicious dogs, and put them together to become what you are eating in your mouths now." ”

"Poof!" everyone's faces changed suddenly when they heard this, and all the food in their mouths spurted out.

"Ahem...... cough cough ......" Hong Qi lowered his head and spit out the residue, and looked up at Zhou Bin with a blue face: "This ...... This food was snatched from the dog's mouth, can you make a little more fun!" glaring at the other party angrily, he gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you show your skills to a few of your masters, don't lose my face!"

"I have a lot of this!" Zhou Bin finished speaking, took a deep breath, his eyes were as wide as balls, and he stood there motionless.

After waiting for a long time, he kept this action without any progress, Hong Qi was a little impatient, got up and walked to his side and asked in a low voice, "Apprentice, what are you doing?"

"I'm looking at beautiful women!" Zhou Bin said without squinting, "When we beggars have nothing to do, we will use this skill to cause extensive damage to the streets. ”

"Hurt you big-headed ghost!" Hong Qi's face changed, and he slapped Zhou Bin's head, "I see that you are full of food and have nothing to do, look at the beauty? Why don't you die!

"Oh, master, I know it's wrong!" Zhou Bin hugged his aching head and said resignedly, "I'...... I'm going to show my real skills to you and a few uncles!" Turning to face Xu Yaoshi and the others, he said with a straight face: "A few masters, I will use my earth-shattering tricks next, you have to watch it!"

Putting down the words, he turned around and strode to the middle of the street, his eyes swept over the people passing by one by one, and then turned back and smiled at everyone, under the encouraging eyes of everyone, he "plopped" to the ground, and cried with a handful of snot and tears: "Woo~! Pity me, have mercy on me, I haven't eaten for ten days and ten night......s! Ahh

Before he finished speaking, he was beaten violently by the rampaging Hong Qi, beating and beating, and the screams turned into comfortable moans/moans.

"Master hits here! Yes, that's it, huh...... It's so cool, and here......" Zhou Bin lay on the ground, moving his body from time to time to let Hong Qi's falling punches and kicks hit exactly where he wanted, and every punch and kick made his bearded monkey face distort for a while, but it was weirdly intoxicated.

"This bastard!" Hong Qi panted and looked down at Zhou Bin, he was completely convinced of this registered disciple, it seemed that it was impossible for him to use any skills to be majestic in front of several old friends, and for now, he should hurry up and stop him, as long as he doesn't embarrass himself, anything will do.

Returning to Xu Yaoshi and the others in despair, Hong Qiyuan looked at Zhou Bin, who was kneeling on the street and begging for someone, and said helplessly: "My Hong Qiyi's reputation has all been ruined on that bastard." His eyes swept over Li Xiao, who was full of smiles, paused slightly, his face was radiant, and he said happily: "Good apprentice, the hope of being a teacher is all stored in you, you have to fight for me!"

"Seventh Brother Hong, the little brother hasn't agreed to be your apprentice yet, don't recognize my disciple indiscriminately!" said Xi Poison dissatisfied.

"Yes, Brother Hong Qi!" Xu Yaoshi pulled Li Xiao towards his side, and said to Hong Qi vigilantly: "Little brother has not agreed to worship you as a teacher, please respect yourself!"

"Don't fight, everyone!" Nan Di stood between several people, and said to everyone in a harmonious voice: "Right now, helping the little brother to infiltrate the Tianxing Academy, completing the task assigned by the cousin, and spying on the content of the entrance exam by the way, is the most important thing, let's think about how to infiltrate the Tianxing Academy!"

"Tianxing Academy, I have a way to let you go in in a beautiful way!" The abrupt voice came into everyone's ears like a heavenly sound, and they couldn't help but light up their eyes, and when they looked at the sound, they saw Zhou Bin touching the back of his head, grinning into a crescent moon shape, revealing two rows of black teeth and smirking at Li Xiao and the others.

"You?" Hong Qi saw the appearance of his apprentice who was not beaten, resisted the urge to beat people, stared at him with wide eyes, and asked, "Are you okay?"

"No problem, wrap it up on me!" Zhou Bin patted his loose chest confidently, "I may not be able to enter other places, but I have 10,000 ways to enter the Star Academy this day, you come with me, I will take you to a party, and you will know when the time comes." ”

Looking up at the cloudy sky, he beckoned, "It's not too early, master, a few uncles come with me, and I'll take you to the party." With that, he took the lead and walked away without looking back.

"Gathering?" "Pharmacist Xu's face was full of suspicion, and he leaned over to Hong Qi and asked softly, "Brother Hong Qi, what kind of reputation is your apprentice doing?"

"How do I know?" Hong Qi glanced at Pharmacist Xu, and said lightly: "However, don't look at my apprentice who looks spineless, but most of what he said is true, after all, I am his master, he can't even lie to me, right? ”

Everyone pondered carefully and felt that what Hong Qi said was very reasonable, so they followed Zhou Bin towards the west of the city.

Zhou Bin led everyone out of the city gate along Xicheng Street, through a forest to an abandoned temple, here is full of rubble and ruins, a bonfire is lit in the dilapidated courtyard, surrounded by beggars, with the help of the fire, you can clearly see the number of beggars here is amazing, densely extended to the dark place that the light cannot reach, there are as many as a thousand people.

At the front of the bonfire sat three old beggars and a middle-aged man in a black robe, with short hair, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a strong body, and a powerful appearance.

"Who!" Approaching the temple, the nearby patrol guards saw Zhou Bin walking with Li Xiao and others at a glance, seeing his appearance, the beggars obviously became respectful, and the beggar holding the torch at the head said in surprise: "It turned out to be Deacon Zhou Bin, the elders and the helper have been waiting for a long time, hurry up!"

As he spoke, his eyes swept over Li Xiao and the others, and he didn't say anything when he saw them dressed as beggars, but just nodded slightly at them.

After Zhou Bin exchanged a few polite words with the patrol guards, he led everyone all the way to the front row near the edge of the bonfire and sat down, and then whispered to introduce the few people sitting around in turn, the three old men were the elders of this organization, that is, the beggar gang, all of whom were third-grade high-level martial artists, and the middle-aged man was the gang leader Duan Fengxue, a five-rank master.

And the masked woman beside him was his daughter Duan Feirou.

Li Xiao and the others looked at the five people on the stage in turn, and the time passed quickly with the observation of several people, and after the last few beggars sat down on the edge of the bonfire, the middle-aged man led by him took the lead in opening his eyes, got up and walked to the center of the bonfire, and after scanning the dozens of people sitting around him, he nodded with satisfaction, and said loudly: "Brothers and sisters of the beggar gang, there is an important matter to announce that everyone is gathered today!"

Looking at the silent beggars, Duan Fengxue's voice became extremely low, "I think everyone knows that Elder Liu Wu was bitten off his little thumb by several vicious dogs when he went out to ask for food in the morning, and he fell into a coma, no matter how we call him, he can't wake up......," After a pause, he said with a sad face: "However, don't worry, we have already buried him in the afternoon, and it was the funeral that I personally presided over." ”

"Uh......h Elder Liu Wu!" A fat man in the front row, neatly dressed and shrewd, shouted, "Elder Liu Wu! You died so miserably! Your death has made us know the horror of vicious dogs!" With tears in his eyes, he faced Duan Fengxue and choked up: "Although Elder Liu Wu has passed away, we still have to elect the successor of the elder, and please help the master preside over the overall situation!"

"Yes, the selection of the next elder is one of the purposes of our gathering. Duan Fengxue glanced at the fat man, and said with a slight bow: "The position of the elder is particularly important for the development of the gang, in previous years, the elder elections were determined by force, this year I decided to make an exception to choose a think tank as an elder, let him lead everyone to take food from the mouth of the vicious dog through wisdom, and lead us to eat with wisdom, what do you think?"

"Okay, don't choose elders by force, so that all of us low-level beggars have a chance to become elders, this proposal is good!"

"We have no objections!"

"Okay!" Duan Fengxue was very satisfied with the reaction of the beggars in the audience, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and he said: "Since everyone has no opinion, then I will announce the topic of this year's wisdom tank elders, before that, according to the old rules, you need to read out the gang rules!" Looking sideways at Zhou Bin, he said loudly: "Deacon Zhou Bin, you are the senior deacon of the Law Enforcement Hall, let you read it!"

"It's the gang leader!" Zhou Bin's face was solemn, he got up to Duan Fengxue's side, and said loudly in front of the thousands of people around him: "The first rule of the beggar gang! When you ask for food, you must be sincere, and you can't show contempt, we are arrogant beggars, and it is wrong to despise the alms! Therefore, it is strictly forbidden to despise the behavior of the benefactor, and the food that comes must be appreciated by the elders first, and you can't eat it alone!"

"Second, vicious dogs are our natural enemies and our food source, we must not hurt them, even if we want to hurt them, we must gather a team of more than 100 people to surround and beat, otherwise we will die as tragically as Elder Liu Wu, and then we will not blame others. ”

"Third, when asking for food, there are often well-wishers who give money, we are arrogant beggars, and we must not spit on each other because the other party gives too little money, of course, this means that the amount is more than five hundred, and less than five hundred can be infinitely spit, and it is no problem to curse their whole family in our hearts! Okay! I'm done!"

Duan Fengxue threw Zhou Bin an appreciative look, and said loudly: "Everyone heard clearly, right? You must remember the rules of this gang, okay, now I will announce the first question of the election of elders: What should we do if we are discriminated against and beaten by others when we ask for food?"

"Straighten your chest and let them fight!" Zhou Bin stood up heroically on the side, raised his arms and shouted: "We are arrogant beggars, and fighting back will lower our status! Let them beat until their hands and feet are weak and exhausted!". ”

"Yes, when they get tired, we will kneel down and beg for mercy! they will surely let us go!" the fat man who had spoken before stood up and echoed loudly.

"You two are really smart! You two are worthy of teaching deacons for me!" Duan Fengxue glanced at Zhou Bin and the fat man with relief, and said with a smile: "However, this gang leader is no worse than you! If it were me, I would strip naked and let them beat, and the beating would be shocking until they were scarred all over their bodies, so that they would not do it if their conscience found out, and at this time, if they spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, maybe it is not impossible for the other party to reward some copper plates as medical expenses." ”

As soon as these words came out, the sycophants of the surrounding people immediately patted Duan Fengxue who was standing by the bonfire.

"What a clever plan!

"Helper wise, I'll do the same next time I'm beaten!"

"The helper is a pearl, and our helpers must keep it in mind, and the practice in the future will definitely be like divine help!"

......

"Hey, hey. Duan Fengxue was bathed in waves of sycophants, fluttering like immortals, deeply intoxicated for a long time, he raised his arms to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said cheerfully: "What I just said is just my unique method, in addition to the answers that Deacon Zhou Bin and Deacon Qian Liang said, is there anyone who thinks of other different answers?"
