On the eighth day of September, Qingtan City

The day before yesterday, I was distracted and studied most of the Heavenly Spirit Source and Crystal Core Turret Mechanism. The doubts that have been pressed in my heart have not diminished but increased. Bai Ye was dizzy, and he didn't sleep well after tossing all night.

When he got up the next day, he didn't dare to think about those things anymore, and forced himself to cultivate without distractions.

There is only one day left before the period of the competition agreed by Xiaobai and His Royal Highness, that is, the day of the school exam.

He also wanted to play.

In the past eight or nine days, Bai Ye has been soaking in the Nine Old Halls, except for breaking into the Prime Minister's house once and boarding a pirate treasure ship. I just read books every day, and outside of that, I was boring to practice the exercises of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan.

His chaotic spiritual power would change a little every day, and the spiritual power would run more and more smoothly throughout his body. Eventually, in the position of each acupoint in the body, there was a faint tendency to take root.

Originally, Bai Ye's chaotic spiritual power was accumulated in the sea of qi and the hundreds of bones of the limbs, and any part of the body would be in response to danger, guiding the external spiritual power to disperse into the vast body like an ocean, completely not confined to the narrow meridians of ordinary people, and the buffering effect was incomparable.

But now, the trajectory of the spiritual power in his body seemed to be connected into a net, gradually anchoring and taking root at the various vein points. There are more and more stagnant spiritual powers, and they gradually form isolated islands and reefs, which will hinder the operation of spiritual power.

In the hall master's opinion, this kind of change in the congenital pulseless appearance is actually not a good thing for Bai Ye. She was a little worried, and came to visit from time to time.

Bai Ye didn't mind very much, but he was happy to explore hard. Moreover, the room was decorated with delicate spiritual power walls, which he could toss as much as he wanted. It's just the right time to secretly ponder the control skills of the Pirate Snail in between daily exercises.

Estimating that the hall master should have a lunch break at this time, he took out the screw number and was about to try again. Suddenly, there was a familiar shout outside the door.

"Saya?"

Bai Ye instantly bounced up and pounced out of the door.

"Why are you here?"

Standing at the door were the smiling Yi Chi and the serious Bai Lingyu.

I haven't seen you for a few days, and I really miss my brothers. Bai Ye quipped: "What? Don't you have to go on a blind date today?"

Yi Chi was cold and was ridiculed, and his face turned red. Xiaobai couldn't help laughing: "Since the prime minister's family banquet that day, no one has come to the door, no one." Xiaoyi, you really have to thank Lu Xiang for this, hahaha!"

Bai Ye pulled the two brothers into the house and asked excitedly, "What's interesting these days?"

Yi Chi smiled faintly: "It's rare to be clean for a few days, and I've been steadily transporting the spiritual power of the crystal nucleus in the mansion and practicing archery." The elders of the Nine Old Sect have come to check, and I'm fine. ”

"What about you?"

"I'm not that idle. Bai Lingyu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Yi Chi helped explain a few words, and Bai Ye realized that Xiao Bai returned to the imperial capital this time, not only to escort the Jiang family's caravan. The marshal also gave him the task of contacting the eldest prince's Yulin army.

Bai Ye nodded. It seems that the Yulin Army's gallop to the northern front should be the meaning of the saint, and the marshal has long known the news.

Speaking of this, Bai Lingyu was a little indignant. He said hatefully: "The eldest prince doesn't need me as a liaison officer at all. He only sent a lieutenant to deal with it. ”

Bai Ye frowned: "Isn't the rank of the pro-military camp two blocks higher as usual?"

The eldest prince's move cannot but be said to be deliberately reckless.

"People have something to say. The officers and men of the Yulin Army also have to go out by two levels. "Xiaobai's complexion is not very good-looking. When he returned to the imperial capital, there was nothing to make him comfortable.

"These false names are not mentioned for the time being. But the East and West battalions are preparing for military parades and preparing for war these days, and they are so busy that they don't care about people at all. I had to sit and wait, and I couldn't explain it to my father. ”

Bai Ye scratched his head and tried to comfort: "Don't you still have a competition? Don't you make more preparations? I didn't see it that day, but according to the elders, the fourth prince is quite powerful." ”

Xiao Yi blinked beside him and said, "He hasn't been dry for the past two days. I've been soaking in Jin Wuwei's camp. ”

"Jin Wuwei?"

Xiao Bai nodded: "A few of the classmates who used to teach martial arts became Jin Wuwei. Patrolling the streets of the imperial capital can be regarded as a force directly under the emperor. They also have a martial arts arena over there, where you can move your body. There is a chance to take you around. ”

Yi Chi stood up: "Then why don't we go out for a walk now." It's poor that you're always nesting here. The Ministry of War gave me an alternate position, and I paid you three months, and I invited you to drink. ”

"Yo Yo! Congratulations to you, haha, you have finally become an official as you want! ”

"Know, don't worry. Yi Chi suddenly felt a little embarrassed again.

Xiaobai swallowed for a while: "That's okay, we'll send you back when we're done." ”

Walking to the door in a hurry, Bai Ye suddenly stopped his steps: "It's not good...... Tao Lao won't let me go out. ”

"Someone stopped you?"

"I don't know. ”

The three of them walked to the giant stone gate of the Nine Old Hall, and no one really stopped them from going out.

But they didn't take a few steps before they found out to their dismay, the Nine Elders Hall had sent an elder to follow behind unhurriedly.

Bai Ye smiled bitterly and straightened the hood on his head. Follow Yi Chi and Xiao Bai Ash to walk forward.

As he walked, he muttered, "Jiang Jinglan has been in the other courtyard, right? Senior sisters and sisters will never come to Jiulaotang again. According to Long Wuji's temper, I'm afraid they really have to be locked up until the Wei Kingdom retreats before they are released, right?"

Xiao Yi slowed down and nodded slowly: "I haven't been in touch with the Shuai Mansion these days." Sister Xiaolan misses her a lot. She has nothing to do in the mansion, except to talk to Mrs. Dashuai, just to watch me practice archery. You also know that she is a person who can't stay idle, and she has recently started to pick up physical arts. ”

Bai Ye suddenly stopped.

"I want to go to the market and buy something for Sister Lan and Miss Jiang. Xiao Yi, you lend me some money. ”

Xiao Yi hesitated and nodded.

Bai Lingyu's eyes widened: "It's easy for the three of us to come out, I want to accompany you to relax." You think about them. Mother-in-law's ......"

Halfway through the words, Xiao Bai suddenly leaned his face over and stared at Bai Ye's face: "You don't like any of them, do you?" Is it a childhood sweetheart or a huge rich daughter? If you look at Xiaoyi, you don't think about it. ”

Bai Lingyu said word by word: "You have a problem. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, that's my sister. She, she is also going down the mountain for the first time, and there must be a lot of ...... when she arrives in the imperial capital Likes new things, but she's too shy to be embarrassed......"

Bai Ye argued with a bit of a stutter, "Last time we went shopping at night, we saw a shop selling oil umbrellas, and she kept staring at it. Then you left without mentioning it. ”

"Hmm. Sure enough, you have a problem. ”

A few people talked about it for a while, and slowly walked into the neighborhood in the north of the city.

Only then did they notice that there were many temporary stalls on the streets, and many of the merchants had changed their faces to sell special goods.

As the triennial exam approached, the merchants in the imperial capital took out the protective gear and cotton armor that had been prepared for a long time, and even openly sold the so-called "elixir" under the guise of a pretense.

This time the big exam caught up with the invasion of the Ul Kingdom, and the candidates who came to seek fame from various states became more and more passionate, and the corresponding prices also rose.

Xiao Bai looked at the group of men pushing and shoving on the corner of the street with a cold face, and said disdainfully: "The more and more samurai and mystics from all over the world gather, it is inevitable that there will always be some friction. Isn't it Jin Wuwei who controls the streets, my classmates are busy to death, and they have to deal with this kind of every day. ”

The three brothers were crowded to the side of the road by the crowd watching the excitement, and the elders of the Nine Elders Hall were always following not far away, so they were really a little uncomfortable.

Bai Ye waved his hand: "Let's stop shopping." You see, there are flower umbrellas sold in this house. Just buy something and we'll go back. ”

"How's that going to work? Are you still hungry? ”

"It's good to go back to the church and order some takeout. ”

"You're still going to order takeout?" Xiaobai laughed in surprise. Yi Chi blinked, he didn't understand.

Bai Ye suddenly scolded viciously: "I can't swallow the food in Jiu Lao Tang, it's all fucking vegetarian!"

The first time Bai Lingyu saw the gentle Bai Ye talking dirty, he laughed out loud: "Oh, yes, yes, they are all vegetarians! When we were children, we went to the Nine Old Church to practice, and we all brought our own food. Hahaha, I'm bitter about you. ”

Xiaobai finally said what he was holding in his heart: "It's better for us to go back early." I want to see the venue for the big exam. ”

Yi Chi and Bai Ye complained in unison: "Say it earlier!" So the three of them hastily bought two colorful paper umbrellas, turned around and rushed to Jiu Lao Hall, the speed was obviously much faster.

The elders who followed behind were confused by the three boys. I thought I was in some danger, so I looked nervously for a while before I hurriedly followed.

Re-entered the Nine Old Hall, Bai Lingyu rushed to the martial arts arena as soon as he slipped away.

Bai Ye smiled bitterly and entered the gatehouse and filled out the list of meals to be delivered from a nearby restaurant. When he came out again, he saw Yi Chi standing silently with his head down.

How many years of friendship, Bai Ye knows that his brother has something on his mind.

"Would you like to participate too?"

"The Bai family has never participated in the fixed paragraph. There was a slight glint in Yi Chi's eyes, "But this big test is too rare." According to them, this year is the most special. Relying on dead objects to determine the soul is just one thing. ”

Bai Ye has been in the hall all the time, but the news is very closed, and I don't know anything. "What else is there to do?"

"This year, the Holy Majesty agreed to Prime Minister Lu's proposal to hold one-on-one, two-on-two, and five-on-five competitions. The winner will be awarded the seal viscount on the spot, and he can also lead troops to the battlefield. Maybe when the Wei State is defeated, he will be directly crowned. ”

"En'en, the prime minister, these people are really good at playing. ”

"I ...... I want to take advantage of this opportunity too. ”

Yi Chi said hesitantly: "I don't want to be trapped in the capital, I want to lead the troops back." ”

"Your mother is not around, is she bold?"

In front of his brothers, Yi Chi has always had no reservations. What's more, this time he has already made up his mind: "Xiaoye, I've always thought so. I don't want to be treated like a waste, a burden, and rely on my parents to do anything. ”

"You've always known that. Speaking his thoughts, Yichi's eyes finally became firm. Kashiraya was relieved.

"Have you made a decision?"

"Yes. ”

Then I don't want to persuade you. You've figured out for yourself how to make it safer. After all, you are now the handsome son, and whether you embarrass him or not is secondary, I'm not sure if anyone will target you then. ”

"How?"

"It's clear these days. The marshal is in the imperial capital, and he is not as respected as he is in the Guannan camp. There are too many forces in the imperial capital that resist him and oppose him. ”

The courage he had just mustered seemed to have been discarded, and Yi Chi nodded: "When you sent us here, you didn't say so much." The situation is a bit awkward. Everything needs to be prepared. ”

"Well, we're new here, people are under the roof, so be careful. Bai Ye patted his brother's shoulder vigorously, "Let's go, let's get close to the water tower first, let's take a look at the martial arts arena." ”

When the two of them walked around the bush to the martial arts arena, they were dumbfounded.

The sixteen martial arts arenas have long been full......
