The people in the arena looked at Chen Lian like a fool.
They already knew Chen Lian's purpose today, so how could they be interested.
Seeing that no one answered, Chen Lian was a little worried.
After coughing twice, Chen Lian returned to his seat with the booklet and said to the spy next to him: "Bang the drum, let's start!"
The drum beat sounded, and a spy on the stage shouted: "Shangguan Lan versus He Xiong."
Shangguan Lan is an official, and He Xiong is a man of the world.
The two of them went out to the front of the stage, and the spy brought two glasses of wine.
The two of them drank wine and started competing.
Shangguan Lan snorted coldly and started to test, but He Xiong made a killing move. Shangguan Lan was unprepared and his arm was cut off with a knife.
Chen Lian was shocked and shouted: "Stop!"
He Xiong ignored him at all, took a step after him, and chopped off Shangguan Lan's head with a knife.
"Why do you kill people!"
Chen Lian was furious and the imperial army surrounded him.
He Xiong sheathed his sword and said loudly: "Gu Master Chen said that it is a matter of victory or defeat, but also of life and death. What's wrong with me?"
"Could it be Valley Master Chen's intention? He can just kill me, but I can't kill him?"
People in the world shouted in unison: "He Xiong competes according to the rules, there is nothing wrong!"
Chen Lian was worried about a mutiny, so he waved his hand helplessly, and the imperial troops retreated.
"This competition... He Xiong wins!"
Chen Lian reluctantly swallowed the bitter pill.
The spies dragged Shangguan Lan's body down.
This scene angered the officials, who did not expect to be so cruel.
"Comrades, you have all seen that we cannot be merciful when the enemy attacks us!"
A middle-aged man with a gentle appearance said.
This person is the county magistrate Pang Lezhi.
This man was a master of both civil and martial arts, and his martial arts were better than his literary skills, but he became a civil servant.
Moreover, he was frustrated as a civil servant and only sought the position of county magistrate.
This time Longxing Valley was established, Pang Lezhi immediately signed up, hoping to use this as a ladder to gain fame and wealth.
"Pang Xiancheng is right. There are all desperadoes on the other side. Letting them out will be a disaster. They should be killed!"
A dark-skinned young man looked coldly at the people in the world next to him.
This person is Gu Yinglian, a cavalry captain with the best martial arts skills among the officials.
Chen Lian judged He Xiong to be the winner, and people in the world cheered.
Long Chen saw that Chen Lian's face was not good, so he comforted him: "The sword has no eyes, death and injury are inevitable."
Chen Lian felt that this competition might be out of control, but he couldn't think of a better way.
The spy glanced at Chen Lian, who nodded and the competition continued.
"Gu Yinglian versus Liu Jindao."
When his name was called, Liu Jindao trembled in the crowd.
He knew that Gu Yinglian was highly skilled in martial arts, and since He Xiong had killed Shangguan Lan just now, Gu Yinglian would definitely kill him.
Liu Jindao secretly felt bad luck.
Everyone looked at him, Liu Jindao wanted to save face, so he had to bite the bullet and go on stage.
When they got to the stage, they brought two glasses of wine, and both Gu Yinglian and Liu Jindao drank.
The spy stepped back and shouted, "Start!"
Gu Yinglian was a cavalry commander, and the weapon in his hand was a spear. When he heard the start, the spear in his hand stabbed Liu Jindao directly in front of the door. Liu Jindao was frightened, and hurriedly raised his knife to block, and at the same time, he strode towards Gu Yinglian.
Although his cultivation level is not as good as that of Gu Yinglian, Liu Jindao uses a knife.
The so-called fighting for life with a single sword, the sword is shorter than other weapons, and you must fight hand-to-hand to win, and you must fight for your life.
Therefore, although his cultivation level was not as good as Gu Yinglian's, Liu Jindao still charged forward.
Seeing Liu Jin Dao rushing over, Gu Yinglian's expression remained unchanged. He retracted his spear and fired a burst of gunfire at Liu Jin Dao. Liu Jin Dao could not move forward and retreated in embarrassment.
Gu Yinglian had the upper hand and continued to stab Liu Jindao randomly. Liu Jindao was not as skilled as Gu Yinglian and several bloody holes were blown out of his body.
Everyone was horrified to see it, and they all thought Liu Jin Dao was finished.
Gu Yinglian's spear attacked again. Liu Jindao was furious and took the shot forcefully. Then he hugged the barrel of the gun reluctantly, rushed forward and slashed at Gu Yinglian.
Gu Yinglian was shocked. He didn't expect Liu Jindao to be like this. He immediately abandoned his spear, roared angrily, and kicked Liu Jindao.
Liu Jindao was kicked in the abdomen and his body flew out.
Gu Yinglian picked up the spear and was about to stab Liu Jindao to death.
At this moment, smoke suddenly came out of Gu Yinglian's body!
"not good!"
When Chen Lian saw this, he shouted that something was wrong.
Tieshan, the captain of the Forbidden Army next to him, also stood up suddenly and rushed towards Gu Yinglian.
The officials and people in the world were shocked. Liu Jindao also got up and watched Gu Yinglian smoke and then catch fire.
Long Chen also rushed forward and carefully observed the entire fire burning process.
In full view of everyone, Gu Yinglian was burned to ashes, and a hole was burned into the floor where he stood.
"Liu Jindao! It turns out to be you!"
Long Chen turned to look at Liu Jindao, while Chen Lian and Tieshan looked at Liu Jindao at the same time.
"Take it! He is an Eastern Zhou assassin!"
The Imperial Guards immediately rushed over and captured Liu Jin Dao.
Liu Jindao struggled hard and shouted: "I am not an Eastern Zhou assassin, I am not!"
Liu Jindao struggled hard and was very strong. Two forbidden soldiers hugged Liu Jindao and managed to control it.
Liu Jindao shouted: "It's none of my business if he spontaneously combusts!"
No matter how much Liu Jindao struggled and shouted, no one paid attention to him, and the imperial guards held him down tightly.
He Quan and Sha Mengfei looked at Liu Jindao in shock. They never expected that Liu Jindao was actually the assassin who burned people with fire.
"How could he be..."
He Quan wanted to say how could Liu Jindao be an Eastern Zhou assassin?
But Sha Mengfei immediately stopped him from saying anything, as he wanted to avoid suspicion at this time.
Just when the Forbidden Army tied up Liu Jindao, Liu Jindao suddenly started to smoke and catch fire. The Forbidden Army was so frightened that he immediately dispersed. The Forbidden Army in front was about to escape when he was hugged by Liu Jindao.
Everyone watched Liu Jindao burn to ashes and the imperial army was burnt black.
"how so?"
Long Chen looked at the corpse on the ground in shock.
Chen Lian was also shocked, and Tieshan even more so.
Just now, Liu Jindao was said to be an assassin, and now Liu Jindao also spontaneously combusts.
"No, he is the assassin. This guy was discovered by us, so he burned himself!"
Long Chen said suddenly.
Chen Lian suddenly realized it and said: "Yes, that's it. Liu Jindao committed suicide out of fear of crime!"
The incident happened so suddenly that Chen Lian had no time to distinguish and did not want to distinguish.
He now needs to take on everything alone, so he puts the blame on Liu Jin.
Gu Yinglian and Liu Jindao were both dead, and everyone was in shock.
I thought the spontaneous combustion was over, but I didn't expect it to happen during the day.
"Gu Master Chen, do you want to continue the competition?"
Tieshan felt that the current situation should not continue the competition.
Chen Lian also knew that the current situation was not good and it was best to stop the competition.
but...
Chen Lian looked at Long Chen, who was very embarrassed and said: "General Tie, I also know that the situation is not good, but how can we find the Eastern Zhou assassins without using a competition method?"
Tieshan and Chen Lian were both silent.
So many people died, and they were all masters. Only one murderer, Liu Jindao, was found. This matter will not be explained.
Moreover, Liu Jindao is likely to be a victim as well.
Then, the murderer may still be among the crowd.
Long Chen said: "I suggest that the competition continues."
Chen Lian was silent, while the officials and people in the audience were already excited.
The officials cursed the Jianghu people on the opposite side as rebels and colluded with the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
People in the martial arts world scolded the officials for their intention to murder, and they had long wanted to eradicate the martial arts world.
The two sides are at war with each other, and the situation is very critical. Both sides are just a little short of a spark from exploding.
Chen Lian said: "Then let's continue. If we don't catch anyone alive, we won't be able to answer the question."
Tieshan didn't say anything. Long Chen stood up and walked to the stage and said, "The competition continues!"
When they heard that the competition was continuing, people on both sides were very dissatisfied.
The officials were worried about being killed, and the people in the Jianghu were also worried about being killed. Both sides were afraid.
