"The Crown Prince of Chu is going to lose."
"No way, then Ye Qinghuan is losing ground. It doesn't look like he is winning."
Jamel Xiao stood far away, watching the fighting back and forth in the distance. Meng Duanzhang was now watching from behind Jamel Xiao.
"The Crown Prince of Chu has good martial arts. The time he spent training in the army was not in vain. Every move has the power to kill people. It is simple and direct. They are all killing moves, and they have the aura of the King of Chu." Meng Duanzhang commented.
"Where is Ye Qinghuan?" Xiao Jinghong asked.
Meng Duanzhang opened his mouth, and then thought for a while before speaking: "The person who can become the top of the A list does not need my praise."
Jamel Xiao was surprised, and when he thought about it carefully, he thought it made sense. "The re-opening of the A-list three years ago was very famous. Ye Qinghuan, Bai Yu, and Yan Qingyi became famous for a while. Ye Qinghuan has been practicing on Tiandao Mountain all year round, but Yan Qingyi refused to be rewarded and disappeared. Only Bai Yu was in the court. During the three years since he took office, his popularity has been unparalleled. I would like to see if Bai Yu comes back to face Ye Qinghuan, and whether the top two on the A-list will be re-ranked."
The two of them fought from the third floor to the courtyard of the back room of Baiweiju. Xiang Jinghao's fists were filled with real energy, and his moves were vicious and fast. If his opponent was an ordinary person, he would not be able to sustain it, but his opponent was Ye Qinghuan.
Ye Qinghuan only thought about Li Haomiao's words. Xiang Jinghao is a good opponent, just enough for Ye Qinghuan to deal with with crude palm skills.
Xiang Jinghao, who had been unable to attack for a long time, was very distressed.
"Almost." A voice came from nowhere. After the voice faded, Xiang Jinghao suddenly felt an extremely powerful force coming from the tiger's claws, making him feel as if he was in front of a huge wave.
boom!
The phantom-like flood in his eyes dissipated, and Xiang Jinghao fell backwards, hitting a pillar directly. A suffocating breath lingered in Xiang Jinghao's chest. First, he spit out a mouthful of bright red blood, and then coughed for a long time before slowly calming down.
Ye Qinghuan stood like this, feeling a lot. If it weren't for Yu Zhi, he would still want to continue the trial.
Xiang Jinghao wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, moved his cheeks again, spit out thick blood-red saliva, and said: Who are you? "
Ye Qinghuan turned around and left, and then he turned around and said, "Ye Qinghuan." Now that he felt in his heart, he vaguely understood Li Haomiao's instructions, and all of this was thanks to Xiang Jinghao as his sparring partner.
"Don't leave, let's fight again." Xiang Jinghao stepped forward and reached out to grab Ye Qinghuan's shoulders. This is a martial arts technique used specifically for clavicle-hand control of enemies in the military. If Ye Qinghuan takes another step, his shoulders will be crushed.
"This is a sneak attack." Qiu Ruoruo shouted. The sound echoed in the corridor.
Xiang Jinghao sneered and did not defend himself. There is no such thing as a sneak attack in the army, and there is no such word as a sneak attack in the Thirty-Six Strategies, some are just surprise attacks.
"Ye Qinghuan, fight me again." Xiang Jinghao's eyes were filled with the flames of battle. He doesn't think he lost.
Ye Qinghuan frowned, thinking not to waste time.
"Fight no matter what. If we fight another hundred times, you will lose." Following the sound of footsteps, Yu Zhi came down the stairs. Then he said to Ye Qinghuan: "Let's go. I'm not in the mood to eat."
Hearing this, Ye Qinghuan twisted his shoulders and instantly broke away from Xiang Jinghao's hand. He has encountered many grappling methods, but the clavicle hand is not the most skillful.
After Yu Zhi and others left, Xiao Jinghong walked down from upstairs, stood next to Xiang Jinghao, and said, "Yu Zhizhi has a bad reputation. However, there are Ye Qinghuan and Qiu Ruoruo beside him. If he wants to move We don’t have a great solution for him yet.”
Xiang Jinghao walked upstairs, and Xiao Jinghong quickly followed.
"Brother, is there nothing I can do?"
"You don't know that Yu Zhi is missing in Prince Zhao's Mansion, and sister Ruoruo comes to my Prince Zhao's Mansion to chat with me every day. I heard that Ye Qinghuan is also blocking the door of the Household Secretary's house." Xiao Jinghong said with a bitter smile.
"Brother is the crown prince, why is that little girl Qiu Ruoruo blocking the door?" Xiang Jinghao asked suspiciously.
Xiao Jinghong smiled bitterly, "The Qiu family only has one daughter like this. Not to mention Mrs. Qiu, Qiu Yu dotes on Qiu Ruoruo very much. The year before last, I don't know which family's young master got drunk and teased Qiu Ruoruo in the street. Later, I never saw this man again in the streets of Kyoto.”
Xiang Jinghao didn't think there was anything special about the Qiu family. "Brother, the Third Prince has no losers under his command. Therefore, I have thought up a petition for you, brother."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details." Xiao Jinghong felt that Xiang Jinghao's intentions were focused on him.
"Brother, can you please kill Yu Zhi and vent your anger for me?"
According to Xiang Jinghao, murder is not difficult or unusual. He had killed many people in the army, including bandits and bandits, as well as local dandies who were causing trouble in the countryside. With his status, he doesn't need to worry about the identities of these people. He can kill them if he doesn't like them.
However, Yu Zhi...
Xiao Jinghong smiled bitterly again and begged: "Brother Jinghao, please don't embarrass me. Although Yu Zhi has no power, he has Qiu Ruoruo to protect him. How can I kill him?"
Xiang Jinghao looked serious, sitting in the side room, picking up the wine glass and drinking the wine that had not been spilled. "If you can't do this well, why would the Third Prince need you?"
After speaking, Xiang Jinghao took a bite of the food and left. "Thank you for the hospitality, brother."
Xiao Jinghong sat in his chair in silence for a long time, and then everyone heard a crackling sound coming from the wing dedicated to Prince Zhao.
When the shopkeeper of Baiweiju heard this, he felt distressed that these plates and cups were also valuable items.
…
Soon, there were new rumors in Kyoto. The prince of Chu, Xiang Jinghao, fought against Ye Qinghuan and was defeated miserably.
The word "failure" is a bit outrageous. The three of them became tigers, and these rumors became more and more outrageous. No one will demand the truth, they will just listen to the jokes and add to the conversation after dinner.
"It's you who stole the show." Yu Zhi ate an orange with a look of dissatisfaction on his face. He thought that if Ye Qinghuan took action every time, when would he be able to clear his reputation?
Ye Qinghuan remained silent, holding a piece of white cloth in his hand to clean the long sword. Qiu Ruoruo laughed from the side and said, "How can Brother Xiaoyu be famous when he hides behind him every time?"
The second negotiation will be held two days later, on the last day of this year. In the afternoon, Yu Zhi slipped out of Kyoto alone. I haven't seen that young lady in the past few days, and Yu Zhi misses her dearly.
At the west city gate, Yu Zhi still met Wang Dafu. Yu Zhi warned Wang Dafu fiercely not to reveal his whereabouts, and borrowed a horse from Wang Dafu by the way.
In the mountains outside Kyoto lived a girl that Yu Zhi longed for day and night. Before anyone arrived, his heart was already running towards that place.
There are many carriages and horses coming and going in the ten miles of Kyoto, and Yu Zhi does not dare to gallop. By the time we entered the mountain, it was already mid-afternoon.
The mountain road is difficult to travel.
When Yu Zhi passed by a forest, he suddenly felt a sense of danger.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Several sharp arrows suddenly jumped out from the dark forest. The sound of the arrow was very soft, as gentle as a mosquito. Fortunately, Yu Zhi's ears were amazing, coupled with Li Haomiao's rigorous training.
When he heard the sound, Yu Zhi immediately identified the direction, got off his horse and hid in the forest. Then I heard a hint of howl from the horse.
"Holy shit!" Yu Zhi cursed in his heart. This is the horse he borrowed from Wang Dafu. Why was it hunted? Yu Zhi thought about how he could pay for the money he was short of.
Thinking about this, Yu Zhi felt that the guy shooting cold arrows in the dark forest opposite was even more disgusting.
"Bai Li or Xiang Jinghao, or the guy behind the scenes?" Yu Zhi guessed. These are the only three people in Kyoto who have any issues with him. Yu Zhi could understand the first two, but the mysterious person behind the scenes made Yu Zhi puzzled.
boom!
An arrow hit the big tree where Yu Zhi was hiding. The tree trunk that needed to be embraced by one person exploded in half instantly, and countless sawdust flew into the air.
"An archer with at least level 6 armor breaking or above." Yu Zhi exclaimed. Faced with such an opponent, Yu Zhi didn't think much and had no choice but to run away. Li Haomiao once said that he has the fifth level of true energy and the third level of skill. Even if he had a solid fifth-grade armor-breaking cultivation, he would not dare to compete with a sixth-grade archer.
Ye Qinghuan might try to find the opponent and kill him.
But when Yu Zhi thought about it carefully, the safest way was to run. The best strategy among the thirty-six strategies.
In the mountains and forests, there are thick bushes and the road is difficult to distinguish. Some thorny plants kept extending their branches to hook Yu Zhi's clothes. One footprint after another was left on the muddy ground.
Whoosh!
Arrows shining with the cold winter light kept flying from the darkness. Yu Zhi could only keep changing his position and hiding himself behind big trees one after another.
Until now, Yu Zhi still couldn't identify the other party's location. Facing the poisonous snake hiding in the dark requires more courage than facing the tiger.
"Who sent you? Bai Li, the Crown Prince of Chu, or your master?" Yu Zhi said. Yu Zhi didn't know what to call the mysterious person behind the scenes.
There was no response. This made Yu Zhi's heart tighten, and he suddenly realized that the voice just now had revealed his position.
Sure enough, a cold arrow instantly penetrated the big tree behind Yu Zhi, and then his shoulder.
The cold wind in the mountain forest blew on Yu Zhi's forehead, like needle pricks. Yu Zhi broke into a cold sweat, knowing that he had just made a big mistake. However, the mistake is irreversible.
Perhaps, it would cost him his life.
The arrow pinned him firmly to the tree trunk, making it difficult for him to move. Yu Zhi couldn't care less. The moment the arrow penetrated, he put his feet on the tree trunk, and the arrow came out of the tree trunk with a forceful jump. The severe pain in his right shoulder made him faint.
At this time, Yu Zhi's face turned pale. He didn't have time to writhe on the ground and immediately rushed deeper into the forest.
"Damn it." Yu Zhi thought to himself. The arrows on his body paid for his own stupidity. His speed slowed down a lot, and he knew that he would not be able to avoid the opponent's pursuit if he kept going like this. But he didn't dare to stop, just burrowing deeper into the jungle like a headless fly.
There was only one figure in the forest, and the sound of swishing branches also showed that there was only one person here.
