Chapter 41 Competition
After leaving the sword pool, Fang Xing returned to the study and before his butt was hot, he received a message from Luo Xin saying that he would let him go to the council hall.
Fang Xing came to the hall with ease, and as soon as he entered the hall, he felt several hateful glances, Fang Xing followed his gaze, it was Wang Zijian and a majestic old man beside him, Fang Xing knew that this old man was Wang Zijian's father, Wang Tianhua, that is, the great elder of Ten Thousand Swords City.
This Wang Tianhua can also be said to be a legendary figure, from a little sword slave, step by step to today, and finally got a son, so he is very fond of Wang Zijian.
At this time, all the elders of Ten Thousand Swords City were gathered, and it seemed that they were going to discuss some big matter.
Luo Xin sat on the throne and said loudly: "Now that the Lord has arrived, let's start, how did you think about my previous proposal?"
Wang Tianhua smiled and said: "Naturally, the candidate for the city lord can't find faults, but the old man is afraid that Aunt Wu has more than enough martial arts, but he is inexperienced!
Luo Xin knew what the Great Elder wanted to say, and a trace of displeasure appeared on his face: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. "This old guy has a honey-bellied sword, it's damn good.
Wang Tianhua continued: "Wu Zhi's younger brother is still on the run, has he, the elder brother, secretly shielded his younger brother, hehe, who can tell!? And I heard that the eldest prince of Wu is still doing something to the dog in the sword pool today, I don't know if it's true? The sword pool is used to give my disciples of Ten Thousand Sword City to comprehend the way of the sword, but it is not a place for you young people to be majestic. "At the end of the day, it's a bit aggressive.
This Wang Tianhua is really a villain who protects calves, but Fang Xing is smiling and silent, knowing that it is not appropriate to argue with him at this time, this will only lose his temperament, and it will not help.
Luo Xin's eyes gradually became ruthless, and he said coldly: "Then who do you think is more suitable to preside over this sword sacrifice conference, the person who comes to preside over the sword sacrifice conference this time must have extraordinary martial arts, and the status cannot be low, otherwise my Ten Thousand Swords City will also have a dull face." β
Wang Tianhua was not afraid of Luo Xin's eyes, and said calmly: "I think Luo Yue is more suitable." Wang Tianhua surprisingly did not directly recommend his son, because he knew that if he recommended his son at this time, it was the most stupid thing, and this kind of thing should be left to others.
Before Luo Xin could speak, a white-clothed elder sitting next to Wang Tianhua spoke: "Absolutely not, if you let a woman preside over this conference, it will be easy for people to think that I have no one in Wanjian City!
Wang Tianhua nodded with satisfaction.
Fang Xing saw all this in his eyes, and smiled disdainfully, this old guy is really a chicken thief, this is deliberately blocking Luo Xin's two roads first, except for Luo Yue, Wu Zhi and Wang Zijian, the rest of the people are ordinary people, and they can't afford to be the faΓ§ade of Ten Thousand Swords City.
Luo Xin knew Wang Tianhua's careful thoughts, and said calmly: "Well, Xiaoyue, she is a woman, it is really not suitable to show her head, Zijian's son has good martial arts, and his character is also first-class, he is indeed a good candidate, but I believe that Wu Zhi will not protect his younger brother, and I also promised Wu Zhi before, if I break my promise, it is not good, or so, since the conference needs a large number of prisoners, then we will see which of the two of them can find more death row prisoners, so that we don't have to argue about it, just look at their own creation." What do you think?"
The essence of the Sword Sacrifice Conference is to create a large amount of blood for the Kaifeng Spirit Sword, so Ten Thousand Swords City will select four people from among the heroes in the world, these four are all young masters of various sects or regions, if anyone can survive the trial arranged by Ten Thousand Swords City, they can finally win the Spirit Sword.
And the trial arranged by Ten Thousand Swords City can be described as a meat grinder trial, and the trial is a total of nine rounds. The first round is one-on-one, the second round is one-on-two, the third round is one-on-four, and so on, doubling the number of enemies in each round. And there is basically no rest time in the middle, which requires that the people who come to the trial not only have superb martial arts, but also have strong endurance, otherwise ordinary people will never survive five rounds. Even if the opponents are all death row inmates who have committed capital crimes, most of the martial arts will not be very high, but when the number rises to a certain level, even extraordinary masters will die of exhaustion.
And such a competition system also requires a large number of death row prisoners, so Luo Xin's method can also be said to kill two birds with one stone, which not only solves the dispute for hosting, but also solves a big trouble for Wanjian City.
Wang Tianhua was a little surprised, he thought that Luo Xin would definitely compromise in the end, but he didn't expect him to come up with such a method, if he didn't want his son to preside over this conference, Wang Tianhua would have applauded this method.
In the end, everyone agreed to Luo Xin's proposal, and Luo Xin also announced the resolution of the elders on the spot, deciding that whoever can gather more death row prisoners within seven days can preside over this meeting, but they must not be indiscriminately filled, and they must not find misdemeanors or innocent people to come to the count, otherwise it will be directly counted as a crime of treason and will be expelled from the City of Ten Thousand Swords.
After all, killing a good sacrificial sword is quite a taboo thing, so the punishment for this kind of behavior in Ten Thousand Swords City is generally dealt with severely.
From beginning to end, Fang Xing didn't be able to say a word, it was already arranged, to be honest, Fang Xing didn't like this feeling, it made people feel like they couldn't grasp their own fate, Fang Xing still preferred to make his own decisions. But there is no way, who let this Luo Xin be Wu Zhi's father-in-law, and originally Wu Zhi was such a stuffy bottle, and he was also very obedient to his father-in-law's words, and he couldn't subvert Wu Zhi's personality at once.
After everyone retreated, Fang Xing got Luo Xin's hint and stayed.
Fang Xing looked at Luo Xin suspiciously, Luo Xin lost his majesty and solemnity just now, his face softened, and the other party smiled and said, "Wu Zhi, you don't blame your father-in-law for letting you compete with that prince Jian, right?"
Fang Xing hugged his fists and said: "How come, I know that my father-in-law is also to make meritorious service to me, so that I can get intermittent ointment." β
Luo Xin said with satisfaction: "Wu Zhi, you are more sensible than ordinary children, if you can understand your father-in-law's hard work, I proposed this competition is not without consideration." I have some personal relations with the governors of many state capitals, and if you take my handwritten letters, they will definitely help you. β
After Fang Xing thanked Luo Xin, he returned to his small courtyard alone, and saw no trace of Luo Yue, but it was okay to do so, so he went into the study alone.
Today's events, one after another, made me a little dizzy, I don't know why, I just wanted to heal my arm but it led to so many things, which made Fang Xing a little tired and tired. Now I just hope that all this can end as soon as possible, and suddenly I miss the peaceful life in the temple, although it is not as wonderful as it is now, but I don't have to be so afraid. Especially after coming to Ten Thousand Swords City, Fang Xing was even more cautious.
As for the competition with Wang Zijian, Fang Xing didn't have much worry, and he already had a plan in his heart, which was a very difficult thing in the eyes of others, but in Fang Xing's opinion, it was very simple.

Wang Tianhua stood in the room at this time, tasting the new tea that had just come out this year, and the fragrance of tea slowly bloomed on the taste buds.
"Father, why did you agree to let me compete with his waste, he will definitely be able to find a large number of death row prisoners with the help of the city lord, what if I lose?" Wang Zijian was a little puzzled.
"Phew!" Wang Tianhua gently spit out a piece of tea that was drunk into his mouth, and said softly: "What are you panicking about, Dad, I can still pit you, his relationship with those monkey years and horses and months may not be reliable, the relationship I have managed outside these years is much more reliable than his, and even if he finds more death row prisoners, it doesn't mean that he can preside over it?"
Wang Zijian was puzzled: "Isn't it true that whoever finds more death row prisoners will win?"
Wang Tianhua smiled and said nothing, Wang Zijian frowned and pondered for a long time, and then suddenly realized, gave a thumbs up, and said excitedly: "Dad, you are really resourceful! You can think of this kind of method." β
