Chen Xiangzhi was not surprised by Li Fenglan's words. She asked, "Do you believe he is such an insignificant person?"
"So, Master Shen suspects that there is someone else?"
"right."
"Okay, let's deal with Ye Yu Xiaozhu first."
Agarwood nodded and said, "In this case, I won't disturb Miss Li's rest."
"Wait a minute," Li Fenglan called to Chen Xiangzhi, "I have something else to say."
"Speaking."
"Tomorrow, there will be a martial arts competition in Yaoxian Valley, and I want Master Shen to participate."
"Why?"
"The prize for this tournament is a snow lotus. I want Clan Master Shen...and Jadeite to all of you participate in this tournament and try your best to get this snow lotus?"
Jade said: "I've asked about that snow lotus, but it only has the effect of prolonging your life and extending your life, and it has no effect on your injury."
"I know," Li Fenglan replied, "but I need Jianghu to know that my life is hanging by a thread, and I also need Jianghu to know that we have an ambiguous relationship with the Thorn Sect."
Agarwood smiled slightly and asked, "Why not make it public directly?"
Li Fenglan shook her head: "The vaguer the better, Master Shen, what do you think?"
"No problem, but...how can I create an ambiguous feeling?"
"My two sisters are very good at martial arts. I've heard about Master Shen's skills. They seem to be even higher than Jade. There's a high chance that you two will meet in the finals. When the time comes, Master Shen will be the best. Jade or amber, just admit defeat."
Agarwood thought for a moment and replied, "I promise you."
Zhu Mingyu felt uncomfortable: What does it mean to meet Jade and Amber in the finals? Won't you meet me? Although he can't beat jade and amber, he is still a proud man.
After Agarwood left, everyone in the room fell into silence. After a while, Jade suddenly spoke.
"I asked, do you really think of us as your maids?"
Li Fenglan smiled and said, "As long as they think you are my maids."
Jade curled her lips and said nothing. She knew what Li Fenglan meant: If the entire world believed that Jade and Amber were the maids brought out by Li Fenglan, then the two of them would be relatively safe, and the hostile Jianghu people would put most of their ill will on Li Fenglan.
That is, of course, most of the malice. Nowadays, there is a lot of discussion in the world about how high Jade and Amber's martial arts are. Such high martial arts will inevitably become the target of public criticism.
After Agarwood left, Zhu Mingyu murmured: "This Master Shen doesn't seem to care much about his reputation."
Li Fenglan smiled and asked, "Why did Master Zhu say this?"
"The leader of such a prestigious sect rarely competes with others. It would be too embarrassing to lose. Just now you asked her to admit defeat when she encountered jade and amber, and she agreed without thinking... It seems that she doesn't care too much. My own identity."
Li Fenglan nodded and said: "Yes, her purpose is too clear... This is not good. If it takes a little longer, everyone can understand what she is thinking. If we really form an alliance, Master Shen will have to change this What's wrong...forget it, tell her in person when you have the chance."
After that, those martial arts people who signed up at Yaoxianlou were a little frustrated because they saw agarwood branches coming to sign up. It hasn't been long since Agarwood first entered the world, but rumors about her deeds spread throughout the world, and without exception everyone said she was great. Then, the martial arts people became even more frustrated because they saw that the two women who roared away everyone at the gate of Yaoxian Valley yesterday also came to sign up.
The two women were accompanied by two men, one of whom was Qingfengguan Zhu Mingyu, and the other one whom no one had ever seen. Some time ago, there were rumors that Qingfengguan was standing on the side of Changfeng Tower, and Zhu Mingyu followed the three girls who came out of Changfeng Tower during this time.
So, the injured woman held by the woman in green yesterday was Li Fenglan?
For a time, there were different opinions. As Li Fenglan expected, within a day, word spread about her hanging by a thread.
The fact that several of them participated in the competition also spread like wildfire, which made people who came to participate in this competition
Wu's martial arts people were very angry.
"Hey, it's difficult." Zhang Yuan lay on the railing and looked at Zhu Mingyu who was registering in the lobby on the first floor.
Xu Qingchen asked with a smile: "Brother Zhang, why do you say this?"
"One Thorny Sect Master Agarwood is difficult enough to deal with, but now there are four more."
Xu Qingchen nodded: "The woman in yellow and the woman in green are indeed powerful. Are the other two also very powerful?"
Zhang Yuan replied: "The tall and handsome Taoist priest is called Zhu Mingyu, and he is a disciple of Zhang Chengqing of Qingfeng Temple. Zhang Chengqing was the third in Tianzi at that time. Of course, if he really works hard, Zhang Chengqing might be the first. He has seven disciples, counting these The seventh disciple has the highest martial arts."
"Where's the rest?"
Zhang Yuan shook his head: "I don't know, but I heard that nearly a month ago, Zhu Mingyu and Changfeng Tower... a total of four people attacked the Songshan Sect. This one should also be from Changfeng Tower."
Xu Qingchen didn't reply. Of course he knew that it was unlikely that they would get this snow lotus. But Zhang Yuan and his wife were kind to him, so he would risk his life to get this snow lotus.
…
Although Li Fenglan was bedridden, she was not idle. She had been asking Zhu Mingyu about the martial arts people who came to compete.
These people are a mixed bag, but there are many masters. I heard from the person in charge of registration that Yang Yanxiong, who was ranked tenth in the rankings that year, also signed up. He is currently the favorite to win the championship. In the world of martial arts, if there are competitions, there will be gambling. Some bad actors have secretly started the game, and the ones with the highest odds currently are Chen Xiangzhi and Yang Yanxiong. The odds of jade, amber, and Zhu Mingyu are also not low. Since Jianghu is relatively unfamiliar with jade and amber, the odds of Zhu Mingyu are higher.
Zhu Mingyu was obviously a little proud when he said this, and his eyes seemed to say: Did you see, Master Dao, I am also number one.
Li Fenglan looked at the list of contestants and asked, "Taoist Master Zhu, isn't this Qian Wei a person's name?"
Zhu Mingyu replied: "I was just about to tell you... It is indeed not a name. Qianwei is the private soldier of the God of Money. He spent a lot of money and recruited more than fifty masters from nowhere. These people are mysterious and long-term. Nian wears a bamboo hat and covers his face. However, he does not participate in Jianghu affairs. He only protects the safety of the God of Wealth."
"Is the Golden God of Wealth here too?"
"No, he only sent three money guards, but only one signed up." Kanshu La
Li Fenglan said nothing more. Now she is injured, her energy is not as good as before, and she has to sleep several times a day.
…
In a blink of an eye, one day passed, and on this day, the Yaoxian Valley Martial Arts Competition officially began.
The competition venue is the largest open space in Yaoxian Valley and can accommodate thousands of people. It is not a problem to squeeze in two thousand people. A square platform had been set up in the center of this venue a few days ago.
The participants in the competition gathered around the square platform early, but it was not until late that the Korean miracle doctor from Yaoxian Valley arrived belatedly.
Han Liangsheng's handsome and handsome man stood on the stage, bringing with him a sense of coercion, and the originally noisy crowd instantly fell silent.
In a room in the Yaoxian Building not far away, Han Liang had already sent someone to prepare a position for Li Fenglan to close the competition. Li Fenglan didn't ask about the relationship between Agarwood Branch, Yaoxiangu and Li Fengyao. It wasn't that she didn't want to ask, but...she wanted to ask it from Li Fengyao herself.
Han Liang chatted for a while on the competition stage and finally got to the point.
He first ordered people to fetch snowdrops.
The snow lotus is placed in a wooden box. From a distance, the roots of the snow lotus are intact and well preserved.
"This is the prize of this martial arts competition, Tianshan Snow Lotus."
Han Liang asked his servants to hold the snow lotus and walk around the competition stage to show off to the martial arts people, which elicited a low cry. This is the legendary snow lotus. This plant can be sold on the black market for at least 5,000 taels of silver.
After showing the snow lotus, Han Liang rushed to the stage and said, "There are a total of one hundred and twenty-eight people participating in this competition. Master Zhixian of Shaolin Temple, Master Changye of Longhu Mountain, Taoist Master Kangtai of Qingfengguan, and below, we Four people are responsible for deciding the outcome. Everyone, let’s not make it too grand for this small competition.
"
People in the audience said, with more than a thousand people watching and more than a hundred people competing, is this still considered a small competition?
Zhu Mingyu's expression became very strange, and she thought to herself: Second senior brother will be the referee? I didn't listen to what he said.
On the stage, Master Zhixian, Master Changye, and Zhu Mingyu's second senior brother Kang Taichang were already standing on the stage.
Han Liang rushed to the audience and handed over his hands again, saying: "If everyone has no objections, then our competition will officially begin. Please invite the knights whose names are called to come on stage to compete."
The referee sat down, and a little boy walked up to the competition stage holding a scroll and shouted loudly: "First match! Qingfengguan Zhu Mingyu! Xanthium sect Lu Jia! You two please come on stage."
Zhu Mingyu said in her heart: Just memorize it, is it me in the first game?
With this thought in mind, he jumped onto the ring. As soon as he landed, a man in his thirties had already jumped onto the ring.
Han Liang said loudly: "You two can discuss it among yourselves and we can start when you are ready."
Lu Jia from the Xanthium Clan clasped his fist at Zhu Mingyu and said, "I have heard of Taoist Master Zhu for a long time, and today I am asking for his advice. Please give me your advice."
Zhu Mingyu stopped wearing Taoist robes after leaving Luoyang and changed into ordinary clothes. Zhang Chengqing told them that the Tao is simple and does not need to be too superficial. If you have the Tao in your heart, you will follow the Tao wherever you go. There is no need to wear Taoist robes. Every time Zhang Chengqing said this, it was when his brothers and sisters had no clothes to wear. Qingfengguan was so poor that Zhang Chengqing's money was spent on just a few Taoist robes. Zhu Mingyu's clothes had been worn for three years, and due to the fight he had played some time ago, they were already worn out. Even Kang Taichang, who is serving as the referee at the moment, his Taoist robe has been washed and turned white, and he looks quite shabby.
Seeing Zhu Mingyu on stage, the eyes of some of the chivalrous ladies who came to watch the battle brightened. Legend has it that Zhu Mingyu is handsome and handsome. When we saw him today, he was indeed so handsome. That handsome face and tall but not bulky figure all attracted the attention of the chivalrous ladies.
Zhu Mingyu smiled slightly, held a sword flower in her arm, and said, "I'm not talking about giving you any advice, it's just a discussion. Brother, please."
Lu Jia's kung fu is good, but there is a gap between him and Zhu Mingyu. The Xanthium sect's sword moves are elegant, and the Qingfeng Sword Technique is also famous for its unrestrained style. The fight between the two is quite enjoyable. Zhu Mingyu's moves attracted bursts of cheers from the chivalrous ladies.
Li Fenglan, who was watching the battle from a distance, said, "Taoist Master Zhu is quite likable."
Amber smiled and said, "He is so good-looking, there must be girls willing to look at him."
Jade suddenly asked Amber: "Are you willing to see it?"
Amber replied: "Yes, I'm also willing to see Bai Shuyu. Oh, yes! Mu Yun is also very good-looking."
Jade pinched her eyebrows and said in her heart: Zhu Mingyu is in trouble.
Li Fenglan suddenly said: "When it's your turn to take the stage later, put on a scarf."
Amber asked: "Why?"
"It seems a bit mysterious."
Amber shook her head and said, "No, it's very uncomfortable to wear a scarf."
Li Fenglan asked: "Where are you, Feicui?"
"...I kind of understand why my mother wore a face scarf back then. I'd better wear it."
