The people in the audience 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 in hand and said to the spy next to him: "Blow 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 from the Jianghu.
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 each and began to compete.
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 put away his sword and said loudly: "Master Chen Gu said that it is a matter of victory or defeat, but also life and death. What's wrong with me?"
"Could it be Valley Master Chen's intention? He can 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 attacking the opponent!"
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 it as a ladder to achieve fame and wealth.
"President Pang County is right. The people on the opposite side are all desperadoes. Letting them out will be a disaster and 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, who is considered to have the best martial arts among the officials.
Chen Lian judged He Xiong as 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, so 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 Gu Yinglian's, Liu Jindao uses a sword.
The so-called fighting for life with a single sword is that the sword is shorter than other weapons and must be fought hand-to-hand to win. It must be fought with life.
Therefore, although his cultivation level was not as good as Gu Yinglian's, Liu Jindao still charged forward.
Seeing Liu Jin Dao rushing towards him, Gu Yinglian remained calm. 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 up and carefully observed the entire fire and 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 assassin of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, I am not!"
Liu Jindao struggled hard and was very strong. Two forbidden soldiers hugged Liu Jindao and managed to control him.
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 and said nothing. He wanted to avoid suspicion at this time.
Just as the Imperial Guards were tying up Liu Jin Dao, Liu Jin Dao suddenly started to smoke and catch fire. The Imperial Guards were so frightened that they immediately dispersed. The Imperial Guards in front were about to escape when they were hugged by Liu Jin Dao.
Everyone watched helplessly as Liu Jin Dao was burned 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 suddenly, and Chen Lian had no time to distinguish it, nor did he want to distinguish it.
Now that he needed to take on everything by himself, he put 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 feels 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 in a dilemma and said: "General Tie, I also know that the situation is not good, but how can we find the Eastern Zhou assassins without a trial?"
Tieshan and Chen Lian were both silent.
So many people died, and they were all masters. Only Liu Jindao was found as the murderer. This matter will not be explained.
Moreover, Liu Jindao is probably also a victim.
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 plotting to kill him, and they had long wanted to eradicate the martial arts world.
The two sides are at war with each other, and the situation is extremely critical. Both sides are just a few sparks away 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 going on, 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.
