Among the twenty-nine young people, 'Qin Yu', who was familiar with Duan Lingtian, was also among them. x
However, now, standing outside the 'royal city' of Prince Qin's Mansion, looking at the majestic royal city, Qin Yu's eyes became a little blurred again, and he was a little lost, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Prefect Wang."
Facing the visitor's greeting, Tian Jiyu responded with a faint smile.
The person Tian Jiyu calls "Wang Commandery" is none other than Wang Qiling, the governor of "Pingshan Commandery", one of the other fifteen counties under the Qin Palace.
The purpose of Wang Qiling's visit to Prince Qin's Mansion this time was the same as Tian Jiyu's, for the 'Sixteen County Martial Arts Competition' held by Prince Qin's Mansion...
Behind Wang Qiling, the governor of Pingshan County, except for a few close men, the remaining thirty people were also young people.
These young people stood there, staring eagerly at Qin Yu and others behind Tian Jiyu.
For them, the group of young people behind Tian Jiyu are their competitors in the Sixteen County Martial Arts Competition. Only by trampling all their opponents will they have a chance to stand out and even win a championship in the Sixteen County Martial Arts Competition. Good ranking.
"Chief Tian...it seems you have brought one less person..."
For a moment, Wang Qiling's eyes swept across the twenty-nine young people behind Tian Jiyu, and finally his eyes fell on Tian Jiyu again, giving Tian Jiyu a deep look.
"There is another person who has gone out to practice... he will come when the sixteen counties martial arts competition starts."
Tian Jiyu said lightly.
"Going out for training?"
Hearing Tian Jiyu's words, Wang Qiling's pupils shrank slightly, and then asked tentatively: "Tian County Sheriff, the person you are talking about who went out to practice...isn't he talking about the young and powerful man who was famous in your Jiuyou County in the past? Is it 'Duan Lingtian'?"
Faced with Wang Qiling's inquiry, Tian Jiyu's lips flashed with amusement, and then he did not directly respond to Wang Qiling, "Mr. Wang, let's go to the city first."
After saying that, without waiting for Wang Qiling's response, Tian Jiyu led a group of people behind him into the royal city of Prince Qin's Mansion.
Only Wang Qiling was left standing there with a gloomy expression.
"Lord Sheriff."
At this time, an old man behind Wang Qiling said in a deep voice: "The person Tian Jiyu mentioned who went out to practice... I'm afraid it's probably the 'Duan Lingtian'!"
"Who else could it be besides Duan Lingtian?"
Wang Qiling said in a deep voice: "At the beginning, after I learned that there was only one Duan Lingtian in Jiuyou County who was less than a hundred years old and was chasing Daluo Jinxian, I gathered with the governors of the other fourteen counties. Together, we spent a lot of top-quality immortal stones to invite a 'Heaven Realm Great Luo Jinxian' to take action and let him go to Jiuyou County to kill Duan Lingtian."
"But who would have thought... when that strong man arrived at Jiuyou County, he searched almost all of Jiuyou County, but could not find Duan Lingtian at all. Duan Lingtian had already left Jiuyou County first and successfully avoided that person. The pursuit of a strong man."
Less than a year ago, people from Pingshan County who were stationed in Jiuyou County reported back to Pingshan County the news that Jiuyou County had produced a powerful Jinxian who was less than a hundred years old and whose strength rivaled that of Daluo Jinxian.
At that time, he realized the seriousness of the matter and knew that if that person was not eliminated, the "number one" in the martial arts competition in the sixteen counties would have nothing to do with the thirty-year-old strong man they cultivated in Pingshan County.
That also means that the three middle-grade elixirs 'Da Luo Dan' have nothing to do with them anymore.
That's not what he wants to see.
It's not what people in the other fourteen counties want to see.
Therefore, in that case, the governors of the fifteen counties, including him, gathered together and decided to spend some top-grade immortal stones to invite someone strong enough to crush the governor of Jiuyou County, Tian Jiyu, to take action. Drop Duan Lingtian!
However, the strong man was invited and also went to Jiuyou County.
However, the target disappeared!
"Actually, if our Pingshan County had a strong young man like Duan Lingtian, we would still protect him in that way..."
A middle-aged man behind Wang Qiling said with a bitter smile: "Actually, when you, Lord Sheriff, said that you and the other 14 county guards would go to invite strong men to kill Duan Lingtian, I already guessed that this would be the outcome."
"snort!"
Another person behind Wang Qiling snorted coldly and said, "Do you think the Sheriff doesn't know what you said?"
"If there is even the slightest possibility, the Lord Sheriff will join the other 14 counties in asking strong men to take action to kill Duan Lingtian... because Duan Lingtian's existence has seriously affected the 16-county martial arts competition held by the Qin Prince's Mansion. balance."
"But...since Duan Lingtian is not dead, as long as he comes to participate in the Sixteen County Martial Arts Competition, the 'No. 1' will probably not escape his hands."
After the man spoke, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"really."
Everyone else agreed.
As the governor of Pingshan County, Wang Qiling thought so, but he was still a little confused and unwilling.
However, he also knew that it was useless no matter how confused and unwilling he was, because the deal was already done and it was no longer something he could change.
The royal city of Prince Qin's Mansion soon gathered young and powerful men from the sixteen counties under Prince Qin's Mansion, and the 'Sixteen Counties Martial Arts Competition' held by Prince Qin's Mansion will also be held in three days...
Because of the arrival of people from the sixteen counties under the command of Prince Qin, the royal city, which had been bustling for more than half a month, suddenly calmed down in the next three days, just like the calm before the storm.
In Wangcheng, in an inconspicuous inn.
"The Sheriff of Jiuyou County only brought twenty-nine people?"
In a spacious room, an old woman wearing a plain robe looked at the middle-aged man in front of her with cold eyes and asked in a deep voice.
If the Jiuyou County Sheriff Tian Jiyu were here, he would definitely be able to recognize it at a glance. This middle-aged man was none other than the Pingshan County Sheriff he met outside the gate of the Royal City when he brought people to the Royal City this time. , Wang Qiling!
As the governor and lord of Pingshan County, Wang Qiling appeared very humble and respectful in front of the old woman.
This humble attitude is no less than the attitude when facing the Lord of Qin's Mansion, King Qin.
"I saw it with my own eyes."
Wang Qiling said: "I guess that the remaining quota in Jiuyou County is the one left by Tian Jiyu to Duan Lingtian, who has been missing for nearly a year... Senior, maybe this time you can seize the opportunity in Prince Qin's Mansion. Live in that Ge Duan Ling Tian."
"However...if that Duan Lingtian appears after the Sixteen County Martial Arts Competition begins, senior you may not be able to take action easily. Because, by that time, the powerful men from the Prince of Qin's Palace will definitely intervene to protect Duan Lingtian."
Wang Qiling later expressed his concerns.
"snort!"
The old woman snorted coldly. The coldness of her voice gave Wang Qiling, the dignified governor of Pingshan County, a feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and was in a world of ice and snow. "As long as Duan Lingtian dares to appear..."
"Even if the 'Prince of Qin' from Prince Qin's Mansion intervenes, there is no way he can protect Duan Lingtian, unless he wants to die!"
Unless he wants to die!
When the old woman spoke later, her tone was not only cold, but also a bit domineering.
It was as if King Qin dared to intervene to protect Duan Lingtian, and she would take King Qin's name.
"hiss"
Hearing the old woman's words, Wang Qiling couldn't help but take a breath of air and looked at the old woman again, becoming more respectful.
In the past, although he knew that the old woman was strong, he never thought that the old woman would be stronger than the King of Qin in their palace.
But now, according to what the old woman said, her strength is stronger than that of Prince Qin in their palace.
How could he not be surprised?
"As far as I know, the venue for the Sixteen-County Martial Arts Competition held in Prince Qin's Mansion is not open to the public... You can find a way to take me in. I don't want to alert the enemy before the Sixteen-County Martial Arts Competition is over. Duan Lingtian, who originally wanted to participate in the martial arts competition of the Sixteenth County, did not dare to show up."
The old woman said calmly.
"yes."
Wang Qiling responded respectfully, and then asked: "Senior, do you have any other instructions? If you don't have any instructions, I will go back first."
"Go ahead."
From beginning to end, the old woman didn't even raise her eyes, as if she didn't even bother to look at Wang Qiling.
Three days later.
The 'Sixteen Counties Martial Arts Competition' held at the Prince of Qin's Mansion arrived as scheduled.
On the surface, everything is normal and calm.
However, as the days passed, the martial arts competition in the sixteen counties became more and more intense, and it gradually came to an end. The governor of Jiuyou County, Tian Jiyu, became anxious again, "Why hasn't Duan Lingtian appeared? What if he doesn't show up again?" , these sixteen county martial arts competitions are coming to an end!"
At this time, Tian Jiyu felt as if he had been let go by Duan Lingtian.
"Duan Lingtian...will everything be okay?"
On the other side, Qin Yu, who had just been eliminated, couldn't help but feel a little worried when he saw that Duan Lingtian hadn't shown up yet. He was worried that something had happened to Duan Lingtian, so he didn't come to participate in the sixteen-county martial arts competition.
"snort!"
The first elder of the Jiuyou County Sheriff's Mansion, Pang Bing, snorted coldly and said: "That Duan Lingtian probably doesn't plan to come... He is really a 'white-eyed wolf'! The Sheriff's Mansion cultivated him so hard back then, At the critical moment, he didn’t come!”
"Elder Pang Bing, don't talk nonsense... Maybe Duan Lingtian encountered something and couldn't escape, so he didn't arrive in time?"
Zheng Qiu defended Duan Lingtian.
"Just can't get away?"
Pang Bing sneered, "This is a good excuse. But, even if he encounters something important, can it be more important than participating in the martial arts competition of these sixteen counties? You know, those are three middle-grade elixirs 'Da Luo Dan' !”
"Today, if he doesn't come... we in Jiuyou County will not only miss three Great Rodan, but we won't even be able to get one."
After talking about it, Pang Bing's face became increasingly gloomy.
"Okay, what's the fuss about?"
Seeing the two men under him arguing, Tian Jiyu suddenly said impatiently: "No one can be 100% sure that Duan Lingtian will not come until the last moment... Just wait and see." rw
