Moreover, Qinghuang was measured and polite, and everyone in the Zhengchang Hou family liked her. At the banquet, everyone drank and chatted happily. The topic soon turned to what happened near Yile Mountain yesterday, and Guan Heng and the others covered it up. Very good, but didn't say much.
Lu Jin also learned a little bit about the situation from his nephew Gongwu, who was the commander of the city guards. He didn't pay much attention to it and just treated it as a casual chat at the banquet.
"After noon, it's time for the 'Imperial Martial Arts Competition' over at Chongwei Tower." Lu Jin took a sip of tea at this moment, and then said: "Guan Heng, get ready and come with me."
After hearing this, Guan Heng slightly nodded: "Okay."
Qinghuang next to him asked: "Hey, do you want to fight with someone?"
"Oh, don't say it so harshly." Guan Hengtan said with a smile: "I participated in the imperial competition to get a chance to go to the 'Cave of Duobao'. Didn't I tell you just now?"
"Okay, I'll go take a look too." Qinghuang said, "I'll cheer you up so you don't lose too miserably."
After hearing her words, everyone pursed their lips and snickered, and Agou even laughed out loud: "Hahaha - Guan Heng, you have been looked down upon."
"Qing Huang, can you have some confidence in me?" Guan Heng scratched his head in embarrassment: "Even if you just say 'we've won,' it's okay."
In this way, Agou stayed in the Marquis Mansion, while Tianlin and Ruotao accompanied Qinghuang and followed Guan Heng and Zhenghao Marquis to the 12-story Chongwei Tower in the south of the city.
After everyone left, Agou was about to go back to his room to rest when he suddenly felt a violent throbbing in his heart. He said to himself: "What's going on? I always felt like this when danger was approaching. Could it be that……"
At the same time, more than ten miles southeast of the outskirts of Yangcheng, there was a hidden mountain col.
"噌噌噌——哰唰嗰——" Several figures who were racing rapidly gathered here in an instant. A tall man had already arrived here earlier. Everyone who came after them bowed to him and said: " See your lord."
"Well, there's no need to be polite." The man wore a copper mask on his head, so his true appearance could not be seen. He then asked: "How is the news gathering going?"
"Lord Qi, between last night and dawn today, someone did hear violent noises coming from the direction of Mount Yiles. They suspected that it was a fierce battle." The leader bowed and said: "We have inquired from many sources, and it is said that even the Chongguo Communist Party leader took action. Yes, two of the Seven Overlords of Chongguo were killed in battle, and the casualties of the other party are unknown."
"What?! Even Xia Yu...has taken action?" The tall man's tone changed, and he whispered: "Since the old fox has made some moves, it seems that the identity of the other party is not simple, but what exactly are these people? Who is it?"
Another person said: "Tell me, could it be someone from the ancient country of Yu?"
"No, it shouldn't be the forces of our three ancient countries, because no one will easily destroy the balance that was finally formed between the three."
The tall bronze-faced man shook his head: "I guess it is probably other forces, the demon clan? No, they may not be strong enough to directly provoke Xia Yu, so there is only one possibility, it is Shahui!"
"Shahui?!" The people around him were awestruck when they heard these two words, which shows that Shahui is also a formidable and powerful enemy in their hearts.
"Hmph, but that's fine. The only person in the evil society who can compete with Xia Yu is the leader. As long as they make a move, both sides will most likely lose. This provides great convenience for us to enter Yangcheng to do things. "
The bronze-faced man said at this time: "Ma Du, you take Ji He into the city first and look for the whereabouts of 'that person'. This person is a great threat to us. If he takes action, you will never be able to take advantage. Once exposed, , you should retreat immediately and avoid entanglement."
"I obey." The two men took the order and turned around. Several people on the spot continued to talk secretly, but the content was unknown.
...At the same time, under the 12th floor Chongwei Tower.
"Wow, it's so lively here." Qing Huang had just woken up and was full of curiosity about everything in this world.
"You think it's strange, don't you?" Guan Heng said with a smile at this time: "Ruotao, Tianlin, please take her around for a walk. The Marquis and I will go to Chongwei Tower first."
"Hey, Ah Heng, be careful." Qinghuang said, "Don't get hurt."
"I know, it's nice to have someone who cares about me. I feel that I am still loved." Guan Heng touched his chin and looked a little proud. Qing Huang muttered behind him: "Humph, you are so beautiful."
When Zheng Haohou saw this scene, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Let's go."
At this moment, more and more people gathered under the Chongwei Tower, and some spontaneously formed circles. Guan Heng was a little curious, so he asked: "Master Marquis, what are they doing?"
"Oh, they are having a 'fruit-grabbing' contest."
Seeing some doubts in Guan Heng's eyes, Marquis Zhenghao said: "Everyone has a different number of 'Inscribed Copper Fruits' in their hands, but they can only have five at most. With these copper fruits, you can directly pass through the fifth floor. Chongwei Tower, go to the sixth floor to take the test.”
At this point, Lu Jin paused for a moment, then continued: "But if you fail, the gatekeeper will take away the copper fruit, and you will be disqualified from participating in the imperial competition. In a simple word, you can ascend the Chongwei After reaching the top of the twelfth floor of the tower, if you still have five copper fruits in your hand, you are considered qualified."
After hearing this, Guan Heng nodded slightly: "So that's it, I understand."
"Well, most of these people who automatically formed a circle are guys who don't have five copper fruits in their hands. They use their own copper fruits as bets to challenge others. Anyway, there is still half a month before the opening of Chongwei Tower. In an hour, if you win, you can collect your own number of copper fruits."
"Ha, that's what happened?!" Guan Heng's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said, "Then I might as well go have some fun and find some opponents to practice with."
"Hahaha, I knew you would say that." Lu Jin twisted his beard and said with a smile, "Let's go and have a look in front."
…
On the other side, Qinghuang and the three of them were squeezing around in the crowd and having a great time. Because there were so many people here, there were many merchants doing business here. There were all kinds of snacks and odds and ends, and everyone was looking at them. All spent.
Tianlin picked up an ornament and asked casually: "Uncle, how much does this copper hairpin cost?"
"Hahaha, fifty copper shells." After hearing this, Tianlin didn't say anything, but smiled and gestured at Qinghuang's temples: "Look, your red braid is very unique. If you wear this hairpin, you will definitely be more beautiful."
Ruotao took out a money bag and was about to pay the bill: "Come on, I..."
But the next moment, a loud voice suddenly sounded: "Hey, boss, such a broken hairpin costs fifty copper shells? You really cheated people to death without paying for their lives."
