"The semi-finals of the Central and Wild City Lord election ended today. Tomorrow at midnight there will be a competition for the selection of the Chief and Deputy City Lords. The final candidates are Feng Jueyu from the Zhu family and Cheng Shaojing from the Cheng family..." After Mrs. Feng Rulan gave a clear shout.
, the semi-finals officially announced that Ming Jin would withdraw his troops.
This is probably the only thought-provoking showdown. Zhong Yuhe, the most promising first genius of the Zhong family, failed to make it to the finals even with a thousand-year-old tree heart rock milk and even a poisoned ring. This was beyond everyone's expectations.
As expected, at the same time, the reputation of Zhong Yuhe, who was respected and paid attention to by all young talents, has plummeted. His reputation as a handsome young man in the past is no longer what it was yesterday. Now that he is just a mouse crossing the street, I am afraid no one will feel wronged by him.
.
That's what poisoning is like. You can choose other times to plot a sneak attack, but not in the competition. Even if you want to use unknown insidious means to win, at least don't let it happen? Zhong Yuhe not only used insidious methods
The method has not succeeded yet, of course it has completely failed, and this failure is like a chicken flying over an egg. Who can be blamed after losing his wife and losing troops?
On the contrary, it was Feng Jueyu who became famous. This little-known kid in the preliminary round used his amazing strength to reach the finals. Regardless of his reputation as a Danshi, this strength alone was enough for him to be promoted.
He reached the status of a genius in Zhongtian and was praised by the world. Especially later, when he took the Millennium Tree Heart Rock in the Zhongyu River and relied on the poisonous ring to severely damage him, he was still able to counterattack and win. This feat was unparalleled.
It didn't take long for it to be passed down as a legend among the warriors of Zhongtian City.
In the small courtyard of Dingxin Pavilion, the layers of courtyard walls could not block the laughter and congratulations inside. Everyone from the Zhu family headed by Feng Jueyu and Yu Shuai's old department were all present, and they were discussing with each other.
Today's match.
"I'm so stupid. Zhong Yuhe looked like a dog, but he didn't expect that he was full of bad ideas. Fortunately, he met Feng Boy, otherwise he might have been so domineering for how long?" Gongyang Yu quenched his mouth hard.
Vomiting, sighing alone with righteous indignation.
Zhu Yeqing nodded: "Well, I didn't expect that Zhong Yuhe was a fake gentleman. Now it seems that we need to re-examine this person?"
"Do you need to re-examine it?" Shangguan Ruofan scoffed while wiping his sword: "Brother-in-law let him go, he secretly hurt others, this person is extremely bad."
"You are not allowed to talk like this to the Master of the Zhu family." Shangguan Ruomeng glanced at Shangguan Ruofan.
"Haha, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
Li Tong'er: "But Brother Feng, are you really okay?"
Feng Jueyu smiled: "It's okay. Although the poison is strong, it won't hurt me. Did you forget that I have a poison-proof pill?"
Feng Jueyu always managed not to blame Shengzhi's spiritual energy, so he put all the blame on the poison-avoiding pill. Only Wang Jiutong looked at him, smiled and said nothing.
Zhu Yeqing's face gradually darkened and he said, "There is one thing that I think brothers should pay attention to."
"What's up?"
Zhu Yeqing told Qianfengji's reaction today and the flirtation between him and Zhong Wuxiu, and said in a guessing tone: "These two people have never been in contact with each other, but today it seems that Zhong Wuxiu listens to Qianfeng very much."
If so, I don’t know why?”
"You mean Qianfengji and the Zhong family have always been in collusion?" Feng Jueyu used the word collusion and said some unspeakable words for Zhu Yeqing.
Zhu Yeqing nodded and said: "I think so too. Think about it, no matter how strong the Zhong family is, it's just because of the strength of the private army. The masters behind it are definitely not as good as the Ming family. Zhong Wuxiu has dared to be an enemy of the Ming family for a long time. How could he be behind it?"
There is no backer.”
He let out a long sigh: "Actually, major aristocratic families have been speculating on who is behind the Zhong family, and the signs have just emerged today. According to my opinion, the thousand-year-old tree core rock milk in Zhongyu River, and Youshen Sanba are working with Qianfengji.
There is a huge connection, even if there is not, I am afraid the relationship between them will not be clear."
Feng Jueyu rolled his eyes: "Brother, what you are saying is that if I hit Zhong Yuhe, Zhong Wuxiu will definitely not let it go, and Qianfenjian will also intervene in time?"
"That's not necessarily true. After all, Qianfengji is a hidden master. No matter how powerful you are, it's impossible for him to take action personally. However, Qianfengji's influence is even greater than that of the Ming family. This person cannot be ignored.
"
Wang Jiutong twirled his beard and said: "What the Master of the Zhu family means is that the purpose of the chance is mostly to hide the Taixuan secrets. This time Zhong Yuhe loses power, he will definitely do something. The result of the election is unknown, but at least you are
As one of the two city lords, we will inevitably have some disputes with him in the future."
"It doesn't matter." Feng Jueyu didn't take it to heart: "The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it."
Zhu Yeqing was about to say something, but was stopped by Wang Jiutong: "Master Zhu, let's stop here today. After all, the election is not over in one day, and it will not be decided in one day. We can wait until tomorrow to discuss the future."
Zhu Yeqing thought for a while and nodded: "Well, it's okay to let our brothers have a good night's rest. There will be a fierce battle tomorrow."
…
Contrary to the joyful atmosphere in Dingxin Pavilion, the atmosphere in the Zhong family mansion at this time was depressing and lifeless. The candlelight danced in the hall. Although there were many people, there was no sound. Only the sound of Zhong Wuxiu knocking on the armrests was heard.
"Yu He, how is your health?"
Zhong Yuhe, who was wrapped like a rice dumpling in the hall, looked extremely ugly. He rubbed his chest and gritted his teeth and said: "Back to grandpa, he is not disabled, but has a few broken ribs."
Zhong Wuxiu's expression changed, and some words were difficult to say. He knew very well about Zhong Yuhe. From the endless violent sword, the thousand-year-old tree core rock milk, to the Youshen Powder Ring, they were all tools for winning the championship this time. Originally, these things were
It was used for the finals. Unexpectedly, before the semi-finals were over, Zhong Yuhe not only used all the preparations, but even suffered a complete defeat. This was a huge loss that the Zhong family could not bear.
But Zhong Wuxiu also knew that Zhong Yuhe tried his best, completely tried his best. The reason why they couldn't win was because they underestimated Feng Jueyu.
"Grandpa, my grandson has embarrassed you, please punish me!" Zhong Yuhe knew that he had missed the opportunity to get close to Taixuan's secret treasure, and he felt unwilling to do so. However, the Zhong family had been building momentum for a long time, and the biggest loss was because of this.
And harm the interests of some people.
Zhong Wuxiu did not reprimand, but just said: "It's not your fault. You don't need to blame yourself. You can go back and rest first. I have other important things to deal with."
After that, Zhong Wuxiu left the hall and went straight to the backyard.
The Zhong family's mansion in Zhongtian City is the smallest one, but there is still another world in the backyard. Walking through the flowers and willows to the small courtyard in the back garden, Zhong Wuxiu opened a rockery stone, revealing a secret passage.
Drilled in.
Behind the secret passage was a dim passage that stretched far into the distance. After walking for about two sticks of incense, the other end of the secret passage appeared in front of Zhong Tian City. This was no longer Zhongtian City, but outside Zhongtian City.
In a mysterious place, Zhong Wuxiu found a cave and got into it. After spending most of the night trying to figure out the direction, he came to a plum garden.
Most of the plum blossoms in this plum garden have declined, which looks extremely miserable, but it is also full of the beauty of decline. It is like a picture of falling plum blossoms in winter, with various scenes.
Passing through the plum garden, there is a high mountain in the misty moonlight. The mountain reaches straight into the clouds and is endless as far as the eye can see. It seems to be as tall and majestic as the sky and the earth, and it is boundless.
Arriving at the foot of the mountain, Zhong Wuxiu's upturned back curved up and he became respectful and polite. After standing at the foot of the mountain for a long time, he heard a low summons from the mountain: "Wuxiu? Come up."
Zhong Wuxiu hummed, jumped up and climbed the rock wall. In a moment, he reached the mountainside. A hut was exposed behind a dense bush. The hut was surrounded by tall pines and bamboos. It would not be visible from the outside.
There is another world, and in the pine and bamboo forest, an oil lamp burning in front of the hut pointed out the location of the hut.
Zhong Wuxiu's expression became more and more respectful. He bent down and walked to the door of the hut, pushed the door open, and then entered the house.
An old man was sitting cross-legged in front of a low desk in the room. It was a golden opportunity to go to the martial arts field to watch the battle during the day.
When Zhong Wuxiu saw Qianfengji, he half-knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said, "Master, here I am, please bow to me as a disciple."
Qianfengji was minding his own business, pouring the teapot back and forth on the table, and said expressionlessly: "Get up."
"My disciple has been entrusted by his mentor and has come to apologize, but he dare not sit down."
Qianfengji put the teapot aside, rolled up his sleeves and drank it with great enjoyment, and said: "Master, I remember telling you that the Endless Violent Sword will not be passed on to outsiders. This time, for the sake of Taixuan's secret treasure, I had no choice but to do it."
Pass it on to Yu He. I have also made it clear that if he cannot take the position of the Lord of Zhongye City, I can't help you. Are you coming to me now to beg for mercy? It's useless. If Yu He succeeds in becoming the Lord of the City, maybe he can still keep it.
Endless violent sword, otherwise I will take it back myself."
Zhong Wuxiu shuddered all over: "My mentor is on top, so I don't dare to plead for mercy for my bad grandson. However, the matter is not over yet, and I feel that I still have a chance."
Qianfengji's expression did not change: "Is there still a chance? You mean the Cheng family?"
Zhong Wuxiu: "My disciple has been with Cheng and Lin Ernian a lot over the years, but he has always attached great importance to the development of the Lin family. Although he did not expect Cheng Shaojing's strength to advance by leaps and bounds, fortunately, the friendship in the past was good. Now he and Feng Jueyu are both
In fact, there is not much difference in the selection of the city lord's deputy and deputy, and as far as my disciple knows, Cheng Shaojing and Feng Jueyu have always been at odds."
Qian Fengji chuckled: "I understand what you mean. Yuhe has lost power. It's not impossible for you to take advantage of the Cheng family. We only look at the results and not the process. You can figure out Feng Jueyu's matter by yourself. In the end, you only need to take advantage of the Cheng family."
Just leave the secret to us, and as for the matter of Yuhe, I can wait a little longer."
Zhong Wuxiu was overjoyed after hearing this: "Thank you so much, master."
"There's no need to thank me. This is what everyone means. Even if you don't come, I will come to find you. Please help me do one thing before I leave."
"Teacher, please speak!"
"A month ago, there was a big battle in the Henghai Desert. We found the corpse of a demon warrior in the desert. It was already shriveled to the point of death. Go check it out and find out what happened?"
