"Brother Su, based on what you've seen these days, who do you think has a chance to win the championship and face off against the Saint tomorrow?"
In the yard, Sun Xichui took the barbecue handed over by Su Yu, tore off a piece and ate it whole.
As the competition to recruit a bride came to an end, the battle became tense.
Currently, the eldest prince and the second prince are undoubtedly the favorites to win the championship.
But Meng Zuyan and Xiao Lingsu also performed extremely well in the previous shots.
This made everyone who participated in this grand competition to recruit a bride couldn't help but look forward to tomorrow's draw.
In tomorrow's showdown, there will be four games to determine the leader and the final showdown with the Yaochi Saint.
Su Yu flipped the barbecue skillfully while tearing off a piece of cooked meat, and then said: "Four of them have a chance, but the details will depend on tomorrow's draw."
The opponents of the four are currently unclear, and they need to wait until tomorrow's drawing ceremony to determine their opponents.
Su Yu couldn't help but be curious whether the eldest prince and the second prince would face each other in advance tomorrow.
If that were the case, it would probably be interesting.
And in the past few days, he has been thinking about how to obtain the spiritual essence.
Unfortunately, over the past few days, he still had no clue.
If he still couldn't think of a solution the day after tomorrow, he would have to resort to his last resort.
Then look for an opportunity to knock out the groom and occupy the magpie's nest.
"Huh? At this time, why hasn't the ice flame two-headed dog come over yet?"
When Sun Xichui had finished eating and drinking, he couldn't help but let out a sigh, and a trace of doubt flashed across his face.
In the past few days, Sun Xicui and Su Yu have become quite familiar with the Ice Flame Two-Headed Dog.
Perhaps because of everything that happened in Blackwater Pond, Yu Nanshuang has not been out for the past few days.
But her beloved pet could not forget the roasted animal meat by Su Yu. Every afternoon, it would come outside the hospital on time, dripping with salt, and wait for Su and Yu to feed it.
For this reason, Su and Yu had to buy more animal meat to feed the Bingyan two-headed dogs.
However, every time the two pairs of eyes of the ice flame two-headed dog looked at him, there would always be a hint of doubt.
He seemed a little puzzled. How could the smell of the uninvited guest he met in Heishui Forest be similar to that of Su Yu?
Fortunately, after Su Yu noticed the look on the Bingyan Two-Headed Dog, he immediately used perfume to cover up the smell on his body, and he managed to get away with it.
This made him secretly afraid.
If the meat he roasted wasn't so delicious, the Ice Flame Two-Headed Dog would probably take revenge on him based on his own smell.
Maybe the Ice Flame Two-Headed Dog is also deceiving himself.
How could a person who knows how to roast delicious animal meat be the same person as the uninvited guest who plotted against him that night?
Hearing Sun Xicui's doubts, Su Yu couldn't help but be startled.
Yes, by this time the Bingyan two-headed dog should have been lying on the wall of the courtyard, waiting for them to be fed, right?
Why hasn't the Ice Flame Two-Headed Dog arrived at this time?
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat, could something happen?
Now the Yaochi Holy Land has taken great measures to protect Yu Nanshuang. There are two Soul Palace Realm warriors guarding Yu Nanshuang. Even Lin Guangding doesn't dare to take advantage of her, right?
Thinking that the spirit cannot be lost, Su Yu controlled the two clones, quietly sneaked into the night, and headed straight for the direction of the Black Water Forest.
When the two clones arrived at Yu Nanshuang's residence in Heishui Forest, the scene in front of him made his pupils shrink suddenly.
Outside the farmyard, the Bingyan two-headed dog's mouth was dripping with blood, and it was lying on the ground, groaning in pain.
The entire farmyard seemed to have experienced a war. The entire farmhouse had long since been reduced to rubble, and Yu Nanshuang had disappeared.
Su Yu's expression couldn't help but change, and he murmured: "What's going on?"
Looking at the traces left at the scene, it was obvious that something happened not long ago.
Yu Nanshuang was guarded by two Soul Palace realm warriors. Could it be that Lin Guangding took action anyway?
…
Half an hour ago.
Heishui Forest, the farmyard where Yu Nanshuang lives.
Xia Houqiong and Zhou Qi sat opposite each other, with a chessboard placed in front of them, and they were playing back and forth.
"Qi'er, what a congratulations! I didn't expect that your child Lingsu has reached this point. If he wins two more games tomorrow, then Nan Shuang will definitely be your daughter-in-law."
In the small courtyard, Xia Houqiong, the great elder of the Yaochi Holy Land, put down his son again and said with a chuckle.
Whether it is Zhou Qi or Yu Nanshuang, it can be said that she grew up watching them.
If Yu Nanshuang really becomes Zhou Qi's daughter-in-law, it will be a great story.
She was also happy to see such a situation arise.
Zhou Qi chuckled and said: "Lingsu is just lucky. We don't know what will happen until the last moment."
As he entered the finals, Zhou Qi gradually became more excited.
Because the enemy Xiao Lingsu faces next is the real rival.
If the eldest prince and the second prince had not participated in this competition to recruit a bride, then she would be at least 60% sure that Xiao Lingsu would become the leader of this term.
But the appearance of the eldest prince and the second prince undoubtedly left a lot of suspense in the contest to recruit a bride.
Xiao Lingsu is only a peak Iron Bone Realm warrior, while the eldest prince and the second prince are Yu Leap Realm warriors.
No matter how you say it, the two sides are separated by a big realm.
No one knows how many cards the eldest prince and the second prince have left unused.
Hearing this, Xia Houqiong sneered and said: "These two princes are really good at calculating. We, the various transcendent forces, have never participated in the royal family's battle for the crown prince."
"The two of them compete for the crown prince, but they intend to bring down the Yaochi Holy Land. How can the Yaochi Holy Land live up to the wishes of the two of them and those behind them."
"No matter what, Nan Shuang cannot marry them both."
Speaking of this, Xia Houqiong couldn't help but glance at the Bingyan two-headed dog outside the courtyard, and said slowly: "Otherwise, our Yaochi Holy Land will definitely become a vassal of the royal family in the future, and will no longer have the ability to make decisions, and will only be tied by the neck of the Wei family.
of a dog.”
Obviously, both Xia Houqiong and Zhao Yuzhi were aware of a problem.
That is, if Yaochi Holy Land sets this precedent, the saint will marry the prince.
The Wei family has seen the horror of Ling Yun. In the future competitions held in the Holy Land to recruit brides, it will no longer be possible for the Saint to marry other transcendent forces.
The Wei family will definitely have a monopoly on the saint's marriage partner!
But this is something that Yaochi Holy Land cannot accept.
The agreement between the Yaochi Holy Land and the ancestor emperor of the Wei Dynasty was that the imperial court would not interfere with the decisions of the Yaochi Holy Land and would retain the autonomy of the Yaochi Holy Land.
Of course, when the Wei Dynasty was invaded by foreign enemies, the Holy Land of Yaochi also needed to devote all its efforts to help the Wei Dynasty resist foreign enemies.
In addition, Yaochi Holy Land will not be subject to any control by the imperial court.
Just a few hundred years later, the royal family was finally testing the bottom line of the Yaochi Holy Land.
There was even a drama involving the royal family participating in a martial arts contest to recruit a bride.
Once Yaochi Holy Land takes a step back, it will definitely encounter the royal family's extravagance in the future.
What will be the result if every emperor succeeds to the throne in the future and the next prince is asked to participate in a contest to recruit a bride in the Yaochi Holy Land?
According to the conditions of the royal family, almost every prince can be trained into a warrior in the Yu Leap Realm every twenty years.
And the characters cultivated by the major transcendental forces are at the peak of the Iron Bone Realm.
In other words, as long as the royal family wants to, it can almost monopolize the leader of every competition to recruit a bride in the future.
Once the major transcendental forces are unable to achieve marriage with the Yaochi Holy Land, how can the Yaochi Holy Land be on an equal footing with the other five transcendental forces?
It is estimated that the other five transcendental forces will not take the Yaochi Holy Land to play again.
After all, all the saints you produced have become members of the Wei family, so why should I bother shouting?
If this situation occurs, the Yaochi Holy Land will completely become a vassal of the royal family and lose its right to independence.
As for the Yaochi Holy Land, they naturally do not want such a situation to occur.
Zhou Qi couldn't help but feel his heart move when he heard this, and then said: "What does the Great Elder mean?"
Xia Houqiong's eyes flashed, and then he said: "Yuzhi and I have already discussed that in tomorrow's draw, I will specifically fight between Lingsu and Taixu Saint Meng Zuyan, so that Wei Zongyuan and Wei Zongyue will fight dogs."
Hearing Xia Houqiong's words, Zhou Qi's eyes couldn't help but light up.
According to her observation, Meng Zuyan is no match for Lingsu.
In other words, Lingsu has at least secured its second position.
Xia Houqiong sneered and said: "The two of them have already been fighting among themselves for the position of prince, so they will definitely go all out in the battle tomorrow."
"As long as the two of them fight to the point of losing both sides, no matter who faces Lingsu again, Lingsu's chances of winning will be greatly improved."
After hearing Xia Houqiong's plan, Zhou Qi was secretly happy and said excitedly: "Thank you to the Great Elder for your help. If Lingsu can really get together with Nan Shuang, Qier will definitely let him remember the Great Elder's kindness in the future.
There will be a reward!”
Xia Houqiong shook his head and said with a smile: "This is all for the Holy Land. How can there be no repayment? If Lingsu can win the first place, it will be the best result for the Yaochi Holy Land."
Zhou Qi nodded and smiled in agreement: "What the great elder said is absolutely true."
She was very worried that tomorrow's draw would pit Xiao Lingsu against one of the first prince or the second prince.
Even if Lingsu is lucky enough to win, it will definitely consume a lot of money.
And in the second scene, it is very likely that he will encounter one of the two of them again.
How easy is it to cross the border one after another to challenge the Yuyue Realm warriors?
Now after hearing Xia Houqiong's plan, Zhou Qi couldn't help but be full of confidence in Lingsu's possibility of winning the championship.
"Pap-pap-pap-pap."
However, at this moment, applause suddenly sounded outside the farmyard.
The expressions of Xia Houqiong and Zhou Qi suddenly changed. Neither of them noticed the other party's arrival.
This made the two of them feel horrified and at the same time they looked outside the hospital.
Outside the small courtyard, a middle-aged man was seen clapping his hands, looking at the two of them leisurely, and said mockingly:
"Tsk, tsk, I really didn't expect that the Yaochi Holy Land, as one of the six transcendental forces of the Wei Dynasty, would actually use such a dirty little trick. If word spread, wouldn't you be afraid of the ridicule of the world?"
Looking at the person coming, Zhou Qi and Xia Houqiong's expressions both darkened.
If nothing unexpected happens, this person is Lin Guangding who wanted to obtain Nanshuang Lingyun in Heishuitan a few days ago!
"Lin Guangding!"
Xia Houqiong sneered and said: "I have to say that you are indeed very courageous. You know that there are two Soul Palace realm warriors here, but you dare to come here to seek death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Houqiong flipped his wrist, and the energy from heaven and earth had gathered and turned into a cage to envelop Lin Guangding.
However, Lin Guangding was not afraid at all. With a move of his wrist, a young man was captured in his hands.
"Lingsu!"
After seeing the young man's appearance clearly, Zhou Qi's beauty suddenly turned pale.
The person Lin Guangding captured was surprisingly her son, Xiao Lingsu!
Xia Houqiong's expression couldn't help but change, and the rapidly shrinking vitality cage suddenly stagnated at this moment, and then dissipated.
Zhou Qi said quickly: "Lin Guangding, don't mess around. My son has no enmity with you, so don't kill him!"
Xia Houqiong said in a deep voice: "Lin Guangding, as long as you let Xiao Lingsu go, I can spare your life today!"
"Spare my life?"
Lin Guangding sneered and shook his head, then put a dagger against Xiao Lingsu's neck and said slowly: "I'm afraid you two haven't figured out the situation yet."
Seeing the sharp dagger cutting a bloody gash on Xiao Lingsu's neck, Zhou Qi couldn't help but turn pale, and said in a voiceless voice: "No!!"
She said in a pleading tone: "Lin Guangding, don't kill my son. I can give you whatever you want. Please don't hurt my son."
"It's okay if you want me not to kill your son. It depends on whether you are willing to cooperate."
Lin Guangding sneered and said: "Leave the saint to me, and he will come back safe and sound in three days!"
After hearing Lin Guangding's words, Xia Houqiong and Zhou Qi's expressions changed.
He never expected that Lin Guangding would secretly kidnap Xiao Lingsu to force Zhou Qi to submit.
Xia Houqiong couldn't help but glance at Zhou Qi from the corner of his eye, and sighed in his heart.
After all, all the thoughts of Yaochi Holy Land were placed on protecting Yu Nanshuang, but they did not consider that Lin Guangding might use Xiao Lingsu's weakness to coerce Zhou Qi into submission.
Once Zhou Qi was worried about his son's safety, he chose to cooperate with Lin Guangding.
With Zhou Qi stopping him, it would be almost easy for Lin Guangding to take away Yu Nanshuang.
At this moment, the look in Zhou Qi's eyes was obviously filled with apology.
Obviously, in order to seize this last life-saving straw for Xiao Lingsu, she has already thought of helping Lin Guangding.
Facing Zhou Qi's apologetic eyes, Xia Houqiong said in a deep voice: "Qi'er, please wake up. He is an imperial prisoner of Northern Qi. Do you have to choose to believe him?"
"Do you believe that even if you help him take Nan Shuang away tonight, do you believe that Lingsu will still end up dead three days later?"
"Once he borrows Nan Shuang's soul to advance to the Soul Palace realm, what do you think will be the consequences?"
"He will still kill Lingsu, how can you do anything to him?"
"It's better that you and I work together to kill him!"
Hearing Xia Houqiong's words, tears poured down from Zhou Qi's eyes.
"Great Elder, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. Qi'er can't do it. Lingsu is my child. Qi'er can't just watch him die in front of me."
Hearing Zhou Qi's words, Xiahou Qiong's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
Lin Guangding didn't seem to expect that the plan went more smoothly than he imagined.
He glanced at Zhou Qi, and then said calmly: "You block her for me, and he will come back safe and sound in three days."
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran straight to the wing where Yu Nanshuang was.
Xia Houqiong slapped him with a palm, but was blocked by Zhou Qi.
"Bang!"
The air waves created by the two palms clashed swept away in all directions.
At this moment, the farmyard was instantly reduced to ruins.
"Zhou Qi, if there was no holy land, how would you be where you are today?"
"Now you actually want to push the Holy Land into a pit of fire for the sake of your children?"
Seeing Zhou Qi standing opposite him, Xia Houqiong's face turned abnormally pale and he couldn't help but curse.
Zhou Qi burst into tears, his eyes reproachful but firm as he said: "Elder, I'm sorry, after this incident, Qi'er is willing to die to apologize! But Lingsu, I can't just watch him die!"
well.
Xiahou Qiong sighed.
At this time, Lin Guangding had knocked Yu Nanshuang unconscious and held him on his shoulders.
"Woof woof woof woof!"
The ice-flame two-headed dog rushed towards Lin Guangding. The two huge dog heads opened their mouths and sprayed ice and red flames at him at the same time.
"snort!"
Lin Guangding snorted coldly, and the body-protecting energy burst out, sending the frost and red flames flying away.
Then Lin Guangding's body flashed and he punched the ice flame two-headed dog hard on its chest.
"Bang!"
This powerful and heavy punch erupted with a muffled sound, and the two-headed ice flame dog flew backwards, and then hit the ground heavily.
But it immediately got up, its eyes were blood red, and its face was ferocious and crazy, and it rushed straight towards Lin Guangding again.
"What a loyal beast."
Lin Guangding secretly gasped, then kicked him out again.
The ice-flamed two-headed dog flew backwards again, both heads coughing up blood.
It struggled to stand up again, but after several attempts, its limbs never had the strength to hold it up.
"Woo~"
The Bingyan two-headed dog whimpered, seeming to express its guilt towards Yu Nanshuang, feeling guilty that he could not save her.
Lin Guangding once again glanced at Xia Houqiong and Zhou Qi who were fighting fiercely not far away, chuckled, then activated Tiandao Jade and quickly left the battlefield.
Seeing that Lin Guangding had successfully retreated, Xia Houqiong's face turned gloomy to the extreme after forcing Zhou Qi back with another palm strike.
"Zhou Qi, are you satisfied with everything now?"
"Do you really think Lin Guangding will let Xiao Lingsu go?"
Knowing that continuing to fight with Zhou Qi would not help, Xia Houqiong said coldly and went straight to Zhao Yuzhi's residence.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I couldn't watch Lingsu die in front of me. I should have thought, I should have thought that he might do something to my child..."
Watching Xia Houqiong's leaving figure, Zhou Qi burst into tears and kept murmuring in self-blame.
But she knew that this was not the time to feel guilty, so she wiped away her tears and headed in the direction of Xiao Jing.
