June, Sword & Wine!

The six-year sword drinking party in Fengting City has finally begun, and under the attention of tens of millions of people, the first day is the pre-selection of the drinking party.

More than 3,000 registered chess players are divided into eight regions, and players in the same region use the method of drawing lots to find opponents, a total of ten rounds of competition, using a point system, and eliminating low-scoring players.

In the preliminaries, the top 800 players are screened.

According to Yi Xiao's division that day, most of those who have the ability to enter the semi-finals are already "proficient" level chess players.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but he was divided into a national player-level chess player by Yi Xiao.

Yuan Daobing, Qiu Jiwen, Shen Zhixian, Bai Qi, Gu Shengcheng, and Tang Muran were actually divided into six different competition areas.

The remaining two competition areas separate Yi Xiao and Gongzi Xiaotao.

It may seem like a coincidence, but—

The battle of chess scales was planned by the City Lord's Mansion of Wind Court City, and behind the City Lord's Mansion stood the figures of the Dao.

Those who can vaguely meddle in the management of the City Lord's Mansion of Wind Court City are all top-level powers.

Among them is the Su family.

It can be said that the Su family is one of the driving forces behind this chess scale dispute.

The Su family's own ability to report on the line is extremely strong, and in order to ensure that there are no mistakes in the drinking party, the popular chess players are divided and separated under the operation.

At the same time, the Su family's Tianxiang Gambling House opened a huge gambling game.

It's almost a big gamble like never before.

There are more than 3,000 chess players, and the name and name of each chess player appear on this table.

On this day, before the results of the match, everyone can place bets on the table, not only on whether they will make it to the semi-finals, but also on the points scored on the first day.

In such a huge gambling game, the odds of each chess player have been repeatedly scrutinized and calculated, and someone can even buy out the wine kui from these more than 3,000 chess players in advance.

If you can really buy it, it will really be a good luck.

It's a pity that this probability is too small and too small, after all, the Su family will not be stupid enough to write the fact that Gongzi Xiaotao is a disciple of the South China Sea Chess Saint on the profile of the chess player.

......

The race kicked off with the first rays of sunlight in the morning.

According to the rules of the tournament, each player is required to play ten games.

In these ten games, the winner gets one point, the loser loses one point, and the draw loses no points.

Coupled with the lottery to select opponents, it can basically be said that the possibility of fraud is eliminated.

It's a pity that drawing lots is just a joke for Yi Xiao, who has a lotus phase.

Division 8.

Nearly 400 players lined up to draw lots.

Among them was a young man dressed in black, with a handsome face, red lips and white teeth, but he lowered his eyes slightly, and his long fine hair covered his eyes, and no one in the crowd noticed him.

The young man's eyes were covered with green light, like green lotuses blooming, and the whole world was dissected in his eyes. He memorized every lot in the lot box, and then glanced at it casually.

A few days ago, in order not to leak the chess path, Yi Xiao asked Su Fu to find five chess players to be his first round of nursery.

At this glance, they can see the lot in their hands clearly.

Then the blue light in his eyes dissipated cleanly, and he turned into an ordinary teenager, and even smiled a little shyly when it was his turn to draw lots.

Of course, Yi Xiao got the sign she wanted.

Next, there are five extremely watery games in his hands, and each game starts less than a stick of incense, and the nurse on the opposite side is busy admitting defeat.

The five games together took less than an hour.

During this period, Yi Xiao also observed the surrounding environment with Wu Liantong.

As it turned out, he was overly concerned, and in such a large crowd of chess players, no one noticed His Royal Highness here at all.

In addition, Yi Xiao himself was extremely careful to cover up his identity, and after entering Fengting City, he did not contact the local Qi Liang forces, and Su Fu also used the relationship of the Su family to help cover up.

In this way, except for a few people, not many people knew that Qi Liang's little prince also came to Fengting City to participate in this drinking party competition.

And Xiao Tao, the son that Yi Xiao was most worried about, didn't bother to figure out Yi Xiao's chess move at all.

So much better.

Yi Xiao had no scruples in the next five rounds and solved his opponent cleanly.

With a record of ten wins, there is no doubt that they will advance to the semifinals.

At this point, the first day of the game ended without any waves.

Yi Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and laughed at herself.

It seems to have ended too soon.

At this time, it was not even noon, and it was estimated that this caucus would not end until dusk.

He laughed at himself, could he be considered one step closer to the wine king?

In fact, he knew that his opponent this time was only one person.

The so-called means have only a negligible impact on the final duel.

Read the mind, read the mind.

Yi Xiao had a headache for no reason.

With such a talent, the impact on combat may not be too rebellious.

But if it is placed on the scale, it is a chip that affects the balance too much.

Chess scalesChess scales...... How to decipher the so-called mind-reading?

Yi Xiao frowned and thought hard, this is indeed a very troublesome matter.

His Royal Highness exhaled and walked out of the preliminaries, but he didn't expect to see a familiar figure beside Lao Duan, who had been waiting for a long time.

"I didn't expect that the eldest young master of the Su family would come to pick me up in person? Yi Xiao smiled and looked at the figure at the door, and couldn't help but joke.

Su Fu waved his hand helplessly, "Come on, don't be poor with me." You think I want to pick you up? It's just that someone wants to see you. ”

Yi Xiao narrowed her eyes when she heard this, and looked at Lao Duan.

Duan Mingsheng chewed on the grass roots, and slapped his shoulders very vaguely, and the fake beard he put on shook three times rather comically, indicating that he didn't know either.

Young Master Su smiled, "What's the matter, are you afraid that I will harm you?"

Then Young Master Su faintly made a gesture, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he lowered his voice and said, "It's your people." It should be Tianque. ”

Yi Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, but inadvertently furrowed her eyebrows.

"The people of the heavens...... This matter is full of strangeness. ”

The organization of Tianque, similar to the Senluo Dao of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was a secret organization that carried out Qi Liang's special mission. The old Duan Lao Miao and the red clothes who escorted him across the river at the beginning were Qi Liang's masters.

Ouchi belongs to a branch of Tianque.

Just as different tasks in the Sen Luo Dao have different Yama halls to perform, the division within the Tianque is more clear, for example, the Vientiane Pavilion is the intelligence branch, and Ouchi belongs to the execution branch.

And what is even more coincidental is that the two major organizations are directly in the hands of two national teachers who stand at the pinnacle of the world.

It can be said that the Sen Luo Dao that Xuan Shangyu is proud of, and the Tianque cultivated by Yuan Tiangang are all terrifying existences today, and they have bloomed with chilling light as early as during the Great War of the Eight Great Powers.

Now that it is a year of peace, it is natural that the two special organizations are carrying out their tasks more covertly.

It's just that Tianque's task has never seen the light, and Yi Xiao can't figure it out, looking for himself at this time......

Su Fu seemed to see through Yi Xiao's hidden dangers, and said with a smile, "You can rest assured that no one will know your whereabouts." ”

can be led by Su Dashao himself, and its safety naturally does not need to be worried. Yi Xiao and Lao Duan walked for about a quarter of an hour before they found out.

The so-called covert meeting was actually arranged in the Tianxiang Gambling House.

......

The basement floor of Tianxiang Gambling House.

Yi Xiao gently pushed open the door of the cubicle.

Inside was a very simple coffee table, on which were placed four steaming teas, and across from it sat a smiling young man.

"Qi Xiaomu?" Duan Mingsheng was stunned, and the grass roots in his mouth fell off.

The person in front of him was Qi Xiaomu, who was placed by Hu Yanzhuo in the tavern.

"Do you know each other?" Su Fu said, "Since they all know each other, it's easy to do things." You talk, don't bother when you are down. Then he closed the door and walked out, leaving the three of them in the ashram.

Qi Xiaomu smiled and saluted His Royal Highness, and then smiled and punched Lao Duan in the chest, "Old Duan, I can meet you wherever I go." How is it alone, Lao Miao?

Ouchi's missions are top secret, and neither of them knows what tasks they want to perform. Qi Xiaomu just knew that Duan Mingsheng and Miao Jianhong had been partners for more than ten years, and almost every task was done by the two of them, but he didn't see Miao Jianhong at the moment.

Then Qi Xiaomu frowned, he thought of something gloomily, and pulled the corners of his mouth slightly.

He didn't know where Lao Miao was now, but he knew that a brother had died in Qijiang.

Lao Duan's raised brows fell, which confirmed his conjecture.

For a while, Qi Xiaomu couldn't find a word to comfort Lao Duan, looking at Lao Duan's obviously emaciated figure in the past few days, he was silent for a second.

Then the young man's smile returned, as if the death of the robe had never happened, but only a soulless smile like a doll, which made him look a little confused.

On his gloomy brow, the sadness had not yet dissipated.

It's not that you can't grieve, it's that you don't want to grieve

Qi Xiaomu said with a smile, "Your Highness, now your identity is a merchant in the Northern Wei Dynasty's Jin Nanmu business, and when something happens in Fengting City, no matter when Your Highness wants to leave, you can come to Tianxiang Gambling House to find your Highness, and Qi Xiaomu has his own way to send His Highness out of the city." ”

Yi Xiao looked at the four hot teas on the coffee table thoughtfully.

"He's been here?"

Qi Xiaomu naturally knew that Yi Xiao was referring to that person, and he said respectfully, "Lord Shaoran has indeed been here, and instructed Qi Xiaomu to ensure the safety of His Highness. ”

"Why don't you want to see me?" Yi Xiao asked with a frown.

Qi Xiaomu was a little helpless, "Shaoran has a shaky personality, naturally it is not something that Qi Xiaomu can guess." It's just that Lord Shaoran had a word before leaving, and I don't know if His Royal Highness is willing to listen to it. ”

Yi Xiao said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Qi Xiaomu lowered his head and spoke silently.

"Lord Shaoran advised His Royal Highness not to enter the Sword Shrine. ”

Lord Shaoran also said. ”

He paused.

"Those who enter the sword mound will die but not live. ”
