Qi Hongmian... The people present were obviously surprised when they saw the woman walking out of the courtyard and regaining her true appearance.
The star officials were more surprised and curious, but Luan Yu and others noticed something was wrong.
Compared with the majestic killing in the past, the Master at this moment was a little lost. It was not until he saw a group of Beast Control Sect disciples outside that he regained his previous majesty.
"Master..." Elder Luan Yu called tentatively.
Qi Hongmian looked at the five wardens with uneasy faces and Luo Huaizhu standing behind them, and fell silent for a moment.
This powerful woman with a well-known reputation and the nickname "Queen of Cultivation" slowly said:
"It would be rude to come to the door without permission. I will order someone to give me a small gift to apologize later."
She looked at the Zhao brothers and sisters again and said:
"Since we have lost in the martial arts exercise, we should admit defeat and let's go."
After saying that, she finally turned around and glanced at Ji Pingan, who was sitting in the courtyard with a smile and waving to her with complicated eyes, and his figure turned into a cluster of sun and fire.
Disappear.
This... the people outside the hospital were confused by this scene and had no idea what had happened behind the closed door.
The dignified master sneaked over and had tea with an old and young couple.
Then he released the fire phoenix for the young man to touch, and then said goodbye and left.
That's all they see.
Qi Hongmian's final gentle attitude was also very different from the rumored "Queen" image.
Many star officials who had glimpsed his appearance for the first time couldn't help but think:
The rumors were indeed not reliable, and the Master did not seem to be difficult to talk to.
Only Luan Yu and others were extremely shocked, but they also knew that this was not the time to ask for details.
Seeing the Master leaving, he also said goodbye to Li Guofeng and others, and left as if he had come, even rejecting the star officials' wishes to give him a send.
As for the tacit understanding between the two parties, the "discussions" that had been prepared for a long time came to an end.
After all, the implicit meaning of Qi Hongmian's last words was to give up this discussion.
This gave Li Guofeng a strange sense of emptiness.
He and others had been nervous for many days, and he was clearly ready to fight to the death and save his face.
But the other party suddenly withdrew... To use an analogy, it's like you stayed up late at night to study, nervous and apprehensive, only to be informed one second before you entered the examination room that the exam was cancelled.
"Is this...done?"
Fang Liuhuo gasped for breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked in disbelief.
Li Guofeng was silent for a moment and waved away the star officials who were watching.
Then they exchanged a look, and the five of them walked towards the small courtyard together, wanting to ask for the truth.
It was only then that the people who were driven away finally came back to their senses and remembered Qi Hongmian's words before leaving.
"I am willing to admit defeat..."
Xue Hongjian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked for Jian Zhuang in the crowd:
"Senior brother, the result of the martial arts performance is that we..."
Jian Zhuang said "En", still a little dazed:
"Senior Sister Luo Huaizhu goes into battle and defeats Zhao Yuanji until the point is reached."
He really won... Although he knew that Luo Huaizhu was very powerful, he was still surprised. Xue Hongjian couldn't help but worry:
"How many trump cards did you reveal?"
Hearing this, the Tianbang star officials who had watched the entire battle fell strangely silent and did not say a word.
Finally, Pei Sili came up wearing a black official robe and said in a complicated tone:
"Barely exposed, Luo Huaizhu used a very new fighting method..."
Then, he briefly described the situation, and a group of Si Chen and Si Li were surprised.
I thought: How did Senior Sister Luo do it? This doesn't seem to be her style. Could it be that there is someone behind the scenes?
And as the news spread by word of mouth, more and more people learned about the result of the martial arts victory and cheered. They didn't quite understand it, or they didn't care about exposing their trump cards.
It's not clear what Qi Hongmian's visit means.
There is only one thing they care about from beginning to end:
Just win or lose.
Now, the people who have received the results have swept away the depression they had accumulated for many days. They are now filled with joy and encouragement, their dejection has been swept away, and their morale is high.
Someone went to look for Luo Huaizhu, but did not find him. The female supervisor who asked for an autograph and had good eyes said:
"Senior Sister Luo left a long time ago, probably to practice."
People were not surprised, thinking that this behavior was really very Luo Huaizhu.
As the crowd dispersed, news about the results of the martial arts exercise and the arrival of the slightly "headless" fire phoenix began to spread outside Qintian Prison.
…
…
Posthouse.
Gao Mingjing sat in front of the window, painting a picture with an indifferent expression. There was no vision, he was just painting.
Painter Mo Lin's fighting style is similar to that of Taoist talisman masters. He usually concentrates on painting, and those paintings are the accumulated weapons.
When fighting, you only need to crush the painting and infuse it with spiritual elements to unite the people and objects in the painting to fight the enemy. Extremely amazing.
Among them, figure paintings are mainly used. The key factor in whether the painting can be realized lies in whether the painter is familiar with the thing painted and whether he sincerely believes that it should have certain abilities.
Therefore, gods, Buddhas, monsters, and even some historical celebrities are all included in the collection.
However, it is worth mentioning that the first works painted by most male painters often have a very unified theme...
"Teacher."
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Qu Chuchen walked in and said:
"I received news that people from Yunhuai Academy have entered the capital."
"Oh?" Gao Mingjing raised his pen and hung his wrist, slightly surprised: "When did it happen?"
Qu Chuchen said:
"It is said that he arrived last night. He stayed in a school outside the city for one night and entered the city in the early morning. He should have contacted the literati in the city to catch up with the dust."
Gao Mingjing chuckled, shook his head and sighed:
"Those scholars are really low-key and silent. Compared with the Beast Control Sect that day, it's heaven and earth."
If the Beast Control Sect is extremely high-profile, then the monks at Yunhuai Academy are extremely low-key.
Qu Chuchen smiled and said:
"After all, they are relatively close to the imperial court, and they always care about each other's face. Even if the disciples below are dissatisfied with the imperial court, they can't lose face because of their old classmates."
Gao Mingjing nodded, holding the same view. Then he glanced at the time and said:
"I don't know what happened to the martial arts performance at Qin Tianjian. If both parties are injured, they will inevitably have to visit the house later to express condolences."
Huofeng's movement this time was limited to Qintian Prison, so Mo Linshang knew nothing about it.
Qu Chuchen thought to himself: You actually want to watch the excitement.
However, he was also a little curious. Although it has been determined that Qin Tianjian will suffer a loss this time, the specific method of suffering the loss and the extent are not sure.
Suspense remains.
Mo Lin also arranged for an informant to be there so that he could send back the news as soon as possible.
As he was talking, suddenly, a carriage stopped outside the courtyard gate, and a musician jumped out first, looking like he was in a hurry.
When he opened the door and saw the curious eyes of the other people in the post house, he rushed in:
"Qin Tian Jian... There are results from Qin Tian Jian."
With a squeak, the rather bookish Zhong Tongjun put down his Suqin and walked out with a curious look on his face:
"How is the result?"
"Yeah, tell me quickly."
"Is Qin Tianjian suffering a lot?"
Amidst all the questions, Gao Mingjing did not move. He still raised his pen and hung it on his wrist, looking like he was painting leisurely, and said calmly:
"How is the result?"
The musician was silent for a moment, carefully looked at the great painter through the window, and then said:
"Martial arts performance... Luo Huaizhu will fight Zhao Yuanji, and the former will win."
Gao Mingjing's wrist paused, and a drop of ink almost fell. He said "oh" and said respectfully:
"In this way, Luo Huaizhu was a little bit unexpected, but even though he defeated Yan Wu, he also lost the grand prize. Now his strength must have been clearly seen..."
The musician said:
"I heard from the people in Qintian Prison that Luo Huaizhu did not use her best weapon, but raised a sword. I didn't hear that she used any new techniques. Maybe... she didn't reveal too much?"
Gao Mingjing's words were stuck in his throat, he took a deep breath and forced a laugh:
"Is that so... It seems that the Beast Control Sect still holds back, or they don't want Zhao Yuanji to be exposed too much... which makes sense. Well, can Luan Yu challenge the five warlords? Li Guofeng should accept the challenge, right? How do they win?"
The musician lowered his head and whispered:
"The two did not fight... It is said that something strange happened at the end of the martial arts performance. The current master appeared in Qintian Prison and went to see Gou Hanyi. I don't know what he said.
"When I came out, I led Elder Luan Yu and others away. By the way, Dian Zhong, who told me this, described the master as beautiful and gentle. He said he took the liberty of coming to the door and expressed his apology..."
Hearing this, Qu Chuchen and Zhong Tongjun tacitly turned away their heads and refused to watch the embarrassing scene of the great painter.
"Crack."
A drop of ink finally fell on the paper, destroying the half-painted scroll.
Gao Mingjing froze on the spot, digesting this shocking news in his mind, and realized that there was a lot of secrets in it.
Apart from other things, when has that old woman Qi Hongmian ever given anyone a good look?
I went there in person and didn’t even see him, so why would I apologize?
Meet Gou Hanyi...
Well, the two sides do have some intersection, and they can barely be regarded as old friends.
But the conflict between the two sides is so big, so the matter of the national master tarnishing Master Xu's reputation can be just forgotten?
"Prepare the car!"
Gao Mingjing put down his ink pen and prepared to go to the Beast Control Sect to inquire about the news.
Well... One of the purposes is to inquire about information, mainly to watch jokes.
Who made the two little kids fight so hard that I couldn't eat for several days?
…
…
royal palace.
The old eunuch took small steps, put a fly whisk on his arm, and hurried through the huge Qianqing Palace to find His Majesty the God Emperor, but was stopped by the guards outside:
"Eunuch Deng, Master Zhang from Yunhuai Academy has just entered the palace and is talking to His Majesty."
Yunhuai Academy... The old eunuch looked surprised. He did not expect that the last of the five major sects in the Great Zhou Dynasty would enter the divine capital silently.
Just as he was about to lower his hands and wait, suddenly, the rich voice of Emperor Yuan Qing came from the room:
"But you have something to report? Come in."
The old eunuch hurriedly bowed and crossed the threshold. From the corner of his eye, he saw that there were only two people in the luxurious and noble room.
Apart from Emperor Yuan Qing, there was also an old man wearing a Confucian shirt, a goat's beard, and fine crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, who was looking over with curious eyes.
"Your Majesty, today's martial arts performance has come to a conclusion."
"Oh?" Emperor Yuan Qing's expression was normal, but his tone was much lighter.
He also pays attention to this matter, but he is also not optimistic about today's martial arts performance.
At this time, he even regretted and asked the old eunuch to come in.
But the words have been spoken and it’s hard not to ask, which makes my heart unavoidably agitated.
Seeing this, Eunuch Deng raised a smile and said, "Your Majesty, Qin Tianjian has won."
He didn't say the rest, just this sentence.
Emperor Yuan Qing was startled and surprised, but a smile appeared on his face: "Oh? That's it..."
He looked at the old Confucian scholar opposite him casually, and was pleased to see the surprise on Master Zhang's face. He couldn't help but feel delighted and said with emotion:
"Speaking of which, in this year's martial arts competition, we have already lost two families. Next, we will only look at those from Yunhuai Academy."
Master Zhang smiled and said:
"There is no martial arts in Huaiyuan, and literary fighting is an elegant matter. It coincides with the early summer season, and river lanterns are used to admire flowers. I sincerely ask your majesty to allow a literary gathering to be held in the city."
Emperor Yuan Qing was in a good mood: "It's done!"
…
…
Inside the city.
During these days, as the Shendu Grand Prize was approaching, various sects arrived one after another.
The number of people coming from other places is increasing day by day, which has put great pressure on public security in the government office.
When people from the world gather together, they need a place to communicate. Among them, the "Cangjian Restaurant" is the most famous.
It is a property under the jurisdiction of the Jianghu sect, and its name also has a Jianghu flavor. Many Jianghu individuals and small sects will gather here to exchange intelligence and information in the spacious restaurant.
Two days ago, the Beast Control Sect entered the city with a high profile, which became a hot topic among people in the world. I am even more concerned about his martial arts performance with Qin Tianjian today.
After all, the scandal between Xu Yuanyun and the Great Zhou Imperial Master was not a secret. There is no shortage of fun-loving people in any era. The attitude of people in the world is generally as follows:
Bored, I want to see rivers of blood.
However, when the news of Qin Tianjian's victory came back, a group of people were greatly disappointed.
"Didn't the fight continue? Lost like this? You thought the Beast Control Sect was so overbearing."
"That's right, it was so powerful that it suppressed the city of gods a few days ago. It was the female headmaster of the Taoist sect who took action to break the move. In the end, I went to the Taoist sect to practice martial arts, and the fight was unremarkable and nothing interesting. I thought today It will be fun to watch.”
Wait for the reporter to further explain:
Master Qi Hongmian mysteriously appeared in Qintian Prison and started a secret conversation with people. People's attention was quickly attracted by the gossip.
Everyone speculated and discussed what happened, but obviously couldn't guess the result.
"Zhao Yuanji lost? Qi Hongmian showed up at Qintian Prison?"
In the corner of the restaurant, a handsome scholar with red lips and white teeth, wearing a moon-white scholar's long robe and a sword at his waist, was stunned for a moment, shocked by the news.
As scholars at Huaiyuan, after entering the city today, the brothers went to different channels to collect information.
The master went to the palace, and some people with connections went to find out about the past from local scholars.
He volunteered and came to the gathering place of Jianghu people to collect information.
Unexpectedly, I ate the big melon as soon as I sat down. Now I didn’t even want the food I ordered to go with the wine. I left in a hurry to find my senior brother to share.
"Where did this handsome little scholar come from? He looks like a doll..."
Suddenly, a martial artist came over, smelling of alcohol, and put his big hand on the young scholar's shoulder, rubbing it constantly.
The scholar's face instantly turned red with anger. He pressed down on the hilt of the sword, but did not draw the sword. He just slapped the scabbard on the Jianghu man's face.
"Peng!"
The figure screamed and flew backwards, his face was covered in blood, the cups and plates were messed up, and the handsome scholar walked away in a hurry.
A martial artist who was familiar with the former was so angry that he started to fight and was about to chase him out, but he was held down by the people next to him:
"You want to die? Didn't you see the awe-inspiring energy escaping from the scabbard of that scholar's sword? Yunhuai Academy has entered the city."
Jianghu Wufu was excited and sat down sincerely.
…
…
Qinglian Xiaozhu.
Ji Ping'an slowly returned to his residence. As soon as he sat down, he felt the hot "Hongxin Talisman" folded in his arms.
Accompanied by a slight vibration.
He took out the talisman paper, spread it out with his fingers, and saw a line of text on it crackling:
[Yu Yu: I heard something happened over there? ! ! 】
Thank you for your support
