The Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition officially begins.
As the bunch of incense burned out, the warriors were like wild bulls running wildly out of the city.
They couldn't find help the first time they needed it and left the Imperial City as quickly as possible.
Although there are martial arts warriors participating in the sniper attack.
The smart ones among the contestants have considered that even if these people snipe, there is a high probability that they will not be able to block the people in front.
The faster the speed, the stronger the strength.
At the same time, such a task must have a strong appeal.
It's possible that if I raise my arms and shout, a large group of experts will rush out to escort me.
Jianghu warriors must also weigh their own strength.
And there are some people who cannot be offended.
For example, the people under the command of Qin Guogong Tuoba Yunhan.
In addition to gaining a future for themselves, this competition is more important for casual warriors to leave a good impression in front of Qin Guogong.
In addition, there are not many people that Jianghu warriors can choose to deal with, and most of these people should be in the middle class.
Therefore, among the warriors who have figured out the joints, some weak ones will enter the first step at any cost at this time.
If you become a first-tier person, you will face much less pressure.
As the saying goes, it is easy to enjoy the shade under a big tree, this is the truth.
But Liu Xin was not so anxious.
His strategy is different from others.
Of course he also helps, but there is a saying in the world that the more friends and brothers you have around you, the earlier and faster you will die.
It can be said that the number of brothers and their loyalty means the probability of your life or death.
These two things are directly proportional.
Although it is unbelievable to say it, I have to say that this is indeed the case in the world.
Although this time it is a Zhengyang martial arts competition, and most of the contestants are people from the imperial court, once this kind of competition is involved.
But there is no first place in Wen and no second place in Wu. Everyone wants to win the first place and get a better record.
In this case, the brothers around you will be more likely to stab you at critical moments.
Therefore, although Liu Xin has already contacted the alliance, he does not intend to join them.
Sometimes it is more convenient to move alone.
Liu Xin's advantages mainly include two points.
First of all, as a Jianghu person, he is very clear about the intrigues involved in this kind of thing.
The second is the identity of the Jinyiwei. This time, there are eight people from the Jinyiwei participating in the Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition.
There should have been more, but a few were involved in Wang Zhongjie's case, so they lost their qualifications.
And these eight people are Dai De'an's confidants, of course, including Liu Xin, who can also be regarded as Dai De'an's confidant.
Therefore, the other seven members of Jin Yiwei have actually joined forces, and they left the imperial city together.
Liu Xin had told them early in the morning that he would not act together.
Among those seven people, there was also Dai De'an's secret weapon, but they all knew that they were not as good as Liu Xin.
When Liu Xin left the imperial city, he also saw Shan and Si. They were the safest group of people.
Because they are from the Duke of Qin, basically no one will attack them, not to mention that these people are extremely powerful.
The document Luo Bei gave Liu Xin was relatively detailed, but in fact, in the past few days, relatively simple and similar information about the contestants of the Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition had appeared in the imperial capital.
There are a total of fifty-six people on the list.
Liu Xin has also seen this list.
He found that this list was quite accurate, of course it was only accurate, because there were many people who were very strong but not on this list.
Obviously the person who gave this list did not have as much intelligence as the Yongzhou County Prince.
But even so, among the group of people under Qin Guogong, there were eleven people in the list of fifty-six people, occupying 20% of the quota.
When such a group of people are grouped together, if others want to defeat them, it is tantamount to hitting an egg against a stone.
And even if someone does manage to snatch away their tokens, this group of people has the ability to get the tokens back again.
Therefore, it is actually the most unwise to deal with them.
Not only would there be a risk of angering the Duke of Qin.
Strength is the biggest problem.
After saying hello to Dan Si from a distance, Liu Xin walked into the street.
He was not riding a red rabbit horse. In such a competition, although killing is strictly prohibited, injuries are unavoidable.
Mounts are even more risky.
This is not a battlefield, so there is no need to drag Chitu along.
Liu Xin received the horse from Jin Yiwei, and now with his status, he actually doesn't have to return it at all.
Of course Liu Xin would not do this because raising horses is too expensive.
Red Rabbit and his horse almost depleted him.
Of course, Red Rabbit is different from other horses.
Liu Xin has already found the horse trainer to see Red Rabbit, and it is definitely a precious colt.
If you want to raise them well, you have higher requirements in terms of feed mix and maintenance.
On weekdays, there are dedicated people to take care of you.
Of course, Liu Xin was transferred from Jinyiwei for free with his privileges.
Senior Brother Cheng sighed more than once. Among the entire Liu Mansion, this horse was the most expensive and the best!
Liu Xin would tease him at this time, "As long as Senior Brother Cheng gives me twenty taels of silver every month, you can share Chitu's delicious food!"
Liu Xin was in no hurry to leave the city.
Naturally, he had his own trump card. First, he came to the outer city unhurriedly and placed his horse at the Qianhu Station in the outer west city.
Then Liu Xin walked alone in a certain direction of the outer city with the Po Dao Sword.
The outer city is extremely quiet today.
In fact, this is normal. The people in the outer city have long known that there will be a Zhengyang martial arts competition today.
Facing such a grand event, ordinary people are actually very unhappy because there are too many martial artists.
For ordinary people, the fights of these masters are likely to harm innocent people.
There had been a fight between two warriors before, and then they accidentally broke into a private house.
During the fight, the two men directly punched through the wall, and there happened to be four women and children under the wall, who died tragically on the spot.
Although the two people who participated in the competition were arrested by the government afterwards, they lost their qualifications to participate.
But the two men were not punished in the end.
And that family only received a pension of dozens of taels of silver.
For ordinary people, the Zhengyang Martial Arts Competition is a disaster.
Liu Xin didn't want to bring this disaster to others, so he always walked through remote alleys.
And it was his choice that gave others the opportunity to be self-righteous.
When he was less than a mile away from his new destination, several warriors appeared in front and behind him at the same time.
They did not hide their identities and appeared directly in front of Liu Xin.
"Boy, are you an official contestant? Show your belt and we will spare your life."
Liu Xin raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
The burly man in front wanted to say something else.
Suddenly a bright sword light appeared in front of his eyes.
"No, this kid is cheating!"
The people who appeared in front of Liu Xin were quite capable. Liu Xin's sudden sword strike was so fast that it was almost impossible for anyone below the Dacheng realm to defend it.
But among the group of people in front of him, one of them took out a shield and held it in front of him.
Liu Xin's sword was indeed extremely sharp, but the shield in the opponent's hand was obviously specially made.
The shield has five layers.
It is made of two layers of wood, one layer of iron, and two layers of cowhide, so it is very tough.
But relatively, this shield is very heavy.
The person holding up the shield was a thin man next to the burly man.
This man had a dark complexion and a beard. Although he was thin, his skin was as dull as an old bronze.
He is obviously a powerful horizontal martial artist.
"You think too highly of yourselves. I don't need to use any tricks to deal with you!"
"Boy, you are too shameless." The big man leading over there is also a Dacheng realm practitioner. He was holding a mountain ax in his hand, the ax handle was four feet long.
Such a heavy mountain ax is like holding a spatula at home in this person's hand.
It is easy to fly up and down without any difficulty.
This person is either born with divine power or a master of horizontal training.
Liu Xin silently opened the properties panel.
The attributes of these people seem to be ordinary, but the evaluation column is unified:
[Evaluation: The dead warriors raised by the prince only hope that one day they will serve as dragons and become famous all over the world. 】
A dead soldier raised by a certain prince. Thinking of what happened in the past two days, Liu Xin immediately targeted the eldest prince and the third prince.
Because he had just beheaded the guards of these two men not long ago.
I don’t know which of the two princes was so petty-minded that they even sent people to stop him impatiently.
Or not one prince, but two!
But since you can do it in the first grade, don’t blame me for doing it in the fifteenth grade.
Of course Liu Xin would not spoil the two princes. Even though they were of noble status, in Liu Xin's eyes, it was not a big deal as long as the princes could be killed with one sword.
Let's use these people in front of us to teach the prince a lesson.
The prince must also know that people not from their royal family can do whatever they want in this world.
In today's world, this question still depends on fists. Whoever has a big fist is the boss.
If the emperor held military power, Liu Xin would certainly not challenge anything.
But they are just two princes. One, they have no military power, two, they cannot openly support private soldiers, and three, they cannot be seen as bullying others.
Even without the attribute panel, Liu Xin could guess that there was a certain prince behind these people just by relying on his own wisdom.
After all, this person is really too impatient.
With Liu Xin's speed and the sharpness of the Dao-Breaking Sword, before the mountain-opening ax fell, Liu Xin's sword light had already cut through his handle, and the ax flew directly out and landed on a person's crotch. Suddenly, the man was so frightened that he froze on the spot and stared blankly at an ax directly stuck into the ground under his crotch.
The burly man who used the mountain ax looked at the bare pole in his hand in surprise, feeling that the world was playing a joke on him.
The master clearly said that this is a low-grade Dacheng realm warrior, isn't it the same cultivation level as him? He originally thought that with six brothers to help him, couldn't he still be able to control the other party?
But reality slapped him hard. He had known before that casual cultivators could not pose a threat to those Chinese addresses. With the same cultivation level, one of them could hit you three or four times.
But since he joined his master, he gradually began to think that he was also a three or four person.
In fact, the reality is very cruel. His position should be the three or four people who were beaten.
The burly man couldn't help but take two steps back. The hand holding a stick was trembling slightly, and he looked at Liu Xin with doubts in his eyes.
The boss of his family didn't dare to step forward, and the other younger brothers were even more afraid to step forward. They all looked at each other and fell into a strange silence.
Just when Liu Xin was about to clean up the garbage, another group of people came out from the end of the alley.
This group of people obviously didn't expect that there would be such a scene in the alley.
But the leader was dressed in rags, like a beggar.
Liu Xin looked over, and the attribute panel above his head gave him another surprise.
"White Lotus Sect!"
I really didn’t expect that all the cats and dogs would gather in this alley.
In the future, if word of what happened today spreads, this originally unknown alley may become famous.
The rebel leader of the White Lotus Sect had originally received an order from his superiors to snipe Liu Xin at all costs.
And he finally found Liu Xin through the information reported by various spies of the White Lotus Sect in the Imperial City.
But what he didn't expect was that when he appeared here, there were many people in the alley.
Judging from their appearance, they seemed to know Liu Xin. A group of people gathered around and were talking.
The order given by the superiors was to kill Liu Xin at all costs.
Therefore, the leader of the White Lotus Sect rebels ordered the charge without saying a word!
Because he knows one thing very well: villains die from talking too much.
This is what he learned from countless story books.
Just as the leader of the White Lotus Sect ordered a charge, at the other end of the alley, the sound of a crossbow string vibrated!
Liu Xin turned around to see who was coming.
I saw the two leading men, one holding a sword and the other holding a sledgehammer, rushing forward in silence.

And another person.

Rating: Manghu Island in the South China Sea, Ghost Detective. 】
Manghu Island...another sect that I have never heard of.
Moreover, these two people are both ghost detectives. I don’t know if they are from the same force or from the same identity.
Liu Xin really couldn't figure out how he could provoke these forces.
And at first glance, it was the sect of Nanhai, which was thousands of miles away from the imperial capital. How come someone who couldn't be hit with a stick came to target him.
Liu Xin easily dodged these crossbow arrows, which were just to announce his intention, and came to a wall. The sound of bowstrings was endless, and Liu Xin could not stop at all.
The lightweight Hongyan body mainly consists of two parts: lightness and Hongyan. Now he relies on the lightweight body to move around in a small area, and dozens of crossbow arrows cannot get close to him.
Liu Xin easily avoided the crossbow arrows and came to the two men. A bright sword light appeared from the Dao Breaking Sword, and the sword light condensed into a beam.
[Sword Fighting-Breaking Light]
The sword light flashed away, and Du Qiongwen and Shi Jianian hurriedly blocked it, especially the latter, who passed the giant hammer forward, both as a defense to block the attack and as an offense.
The sword light was extremely fast. As soon as Shi Jianian handed over the hammer in his hand, the sword light had already arrived.
Ding!
Shi Jianian felt a huge force coming from his arm, which made his arm numb.
He was suddenly surprised. He didn't expect that he would suffer a loss in terms of strength and face a swordsman.
But in fact, Liu Xin did not fight head-on, but instead defeated force with cleverness.
A hammer-wielding warrior like Shi Jianian likes nothing more than to defeat the enemy with force. Little does he know that whether it is a hammer, a stick, a club or other weapons that are good at strength, they all have their weaknesses.
The Holy Sect has thoroughly studied all weapons for hundreds of years. The advantages and disadvantages of various weapons and techniques, especially the weaknesses, have been clearly analyzed. Liu Xin's talent can only be considered top-notch among the Holy Sect. , not as good as those top geniuses.
But he can still defeat ordinary warriors in the world.
As for Du Qiongwen, a swordsman was no match for Liu Xin. The extreme sword light forced the former to defend with all his strength, and he retreated continuously. In the end, it took a five-inch sword tip to defend against the sword.
At this time, he also retreated to the wall. He looked at the missing part of the sword that he had used for more than ten years. He was shocked. He and Shi Jianian looked at each other. Liu Xin had already rushed out because he had already rushed into the crowd. No one could stop him, and no one else dared to shoot arrows in their own crowd, so they could only watch the other party escape.
"Master Wu Zhu asked us to test the people a little too much. If we are not careful, our lives will not be saved!"
"yes!"
The two exchanged a quick word. The prince's people and the bandit leader of the White Lotus Sect had already arrived. The three parties looked at each other and were wary of each other.
"My dear friends, why are you here?"
Du Qiongwen said:
"To kill Liu Xin!"
Then the two parties looked at each other, confirming that they were the right people, and then turned to look at the prince.
"We are too, kill Liu Xin!"
"Okay! Since we are like-minded, let's act together and not let him escape!" The leader of the White Lotus Sect rebels was overjoyed. They alone might not be able to retain Liu Xin. Now with two major helpers, Liu Xin can't escape. Xin will definitely die today.
At this moment, another group of people ran out of the alley, led by a burly man. The heart-protecting hair on his chest was extremely thick and grew gratifyingly.
"I just heard that there's someone named Liu here. I'm here to avenge him. Where are the others!"
"Ah, that dear friend, let's kill Liu Xin together!"
The burly man was overjoyed and immediately nodded in agreement.
Du Qiongwen frowned, glanced at Shi Jianian beside him and said, "Are they talking about Liu or Liu?"
Shi Jianian waved his hand and said: "Never mind it, follow up and check the situation first!"
