He Yi is a young strongman on the Qianlong Ranking. He is a genius in the true sense. Even if his brain is not very good, he is still a genius. Such a genius cannot be compared with ordinary monks. He said before that
The monk was afraid that he wanted to compete with Chen Chao, not himself, because he felt that his realm was too high and his reputation was too great. If he took action himself, it would be meaningless, and he would be said to bully the small and rely on others.
The strong bullies the weak.
It's just that he didn't even think about it, and he never mentioned it on his own initiative, but the young man in black across from him was so arrogant that he actually chose to fight him.
This was something he hadn't even thought of.
"Do you know what this means?"
He Yi's face was slightly cold, with a face full of arrogance, and he said calmly, "You will make this competition meaningless."
Chen Chao smiled and said, "If I defeat those people, will you take action? If you want to take action, will I have to fight you in the end? Since I have to fight you in the end, why didn't I choose it at the beginning?"
Fight you?"
Among the monks outside the field, He Yi has the highest level. If the fight goes to the end, he will definitely end up. In this case, why not choose him from the beginning?
He Yi said, "You know that's different."
If he can win against those young monks and finally force him to take action, then even if he loses in the end, Chen Chao's reputation will still be good. Everyone will still recognize him as a good boy, but he is still far from a real genius.
It's just a distance, but if he faced He Yi from the beginning and then lost, Chen Chao would be said to be overestimating his own abilities, and he would not have a good reputation. Coupled with the previous incidents, his reputation would be
Got into a very bad situation.
Chen Chao said nonchalantly, "Just think of it as my fortune and wealth."
He Yi smiled and said, "I don't want to bully you, but since you have this idea, I will play with you."
He is a genius on the Hidden Dragon List, so naturally he will not have any fear. After saying this, he walked out of the palace.
There is no sloppiness whatsoever.
If he were challenged by Chen Chao and chose to avoid fighting, it would be more humiliating than losing.
Watching He Yi leave, the young people at the table got up one after another and walked out of the hall to watch the competition. Chen Chao simplified the complex and turned all the troubles tonight into this competition. It seemed simple, but
In fact, it is extremely difficult. He Yi is not a Qi practitioner like Guo Xi. Although he is also in the divine realm, he is definitely more difficult to deal with than Guo Xi. In the early stage of cultivation, he would have a huge disadvantage when facing monks.
This fight was not easy for Chen Chao.
After this exchange, Chen Chao's reputation was extremely high.
The pair will usher in a huge polarization, regardless of victory or defeat.
Xie Nandu came to Chen Chao's side, took a look at this young man who looked different tonight, frowned and said, "It's just a trivial matter, why do you care so much?"
She was talking about why Chen Chao did these things.
Based on her understanding of Chen Chao, she knew that he was definitely not such a flamboyant person. His behavior in the hall before was more or less different from him, at least the difference was not small.
As for the reason, she already knows.
Chen Chao said calmly, "Just think that I want to go crazy."
Xie Nandu said softly, "Did you have a similar statement when you were in Nanhu?"
Chen Chao was exposed in an understatement. His old face turned red and he said with some embarrassment, "Did you tell me? I don't remember."
Xie Nandu didn't care about this matter and asked instead, "Are you sure?"
Chen Chao thought about it seriously and said, "If he were in the deep mountains outside Tianqing County, I would definitely be able to kill him without paying a high price, but now in the square outside Zhengyang Palace, again
You can’t kill people, and you have to keep some trump cards that you can’t use. I’m at least 50% sure.”
Xie Nandu thought for a while, nodded and said, "If you really want to lose, remember to save your life."
Although tonight is a sparring match, if there is no strong person watching the battle, if something happens during the sparring process such as failing to stop in time and someone dies, it will be difficult for anyone to hold them accountable in the end.
Chen Chao was surprised and said, "Don't you know that my second priority in killing people is actually my first priority in saving my life?"
In those deep mountains, killing monsters is no big deal. What's really big is being able to leave the mountains alive.
Xie Nandu smiled, said nothing, and just walked out of the hall.
Chen Chao followed suit and said with a smile, "Just think of it as a warm-up for the Wanliu Conference. When the time comes, I will be the leader."
…
…
People came out of the Zhengyang Palace. The palace maids had already found the best overseas luminous pearls and placed them on the stone pillars around the square. In an instant, the square was illuminated as bright as day by those precious luminous pearls.
He Yi stood at one end of the square, his Taoist robes gradually filled with energy, like gusts of breeze blowing.
At this moment, He Yi is really a bit immortal.
He looks like a real practitioner.
A young man dressed in black came to the opposite side and looked at He Yi quietly.
The second prince came to the court and said loudly, "Tonight is just a competition. Both of you are rare geniuses in the world. No matter who is hurt, I, the Liang Dynasty, will feel heartache. I hope you two will take care of you."
His words were very vague, but his meaning was actually very clear.
While speaking, the second prince was actually looking not at the two people present, but at Li Heng standing beside him.
This Eunuch Li may seem ordinary, but in fact he is a very powerful man. Only with him here can we truly avoid any accidents.
Li Heng felt the second prince's gaze and nodded slightly to indicate his knowledge.
The second prince then retreated and stood aside with everyone, preparing to watch the battle.
Seeing the second prince retreating, He Yi looked at Chen Chao and said calmly, "I was disgusted with you before, but now that you have the courage to choose to fight me, it makes me less malicious towards you. It's just that you have the courage to choose to fight me."
It is really ridiculous that you think that by killing Guo Xi and others, you will be able to fight with me."
Chen Chao said, "I have said before that I will still have to fight you in the end. In this case, I will just fight you."
He Yi frowned, wanted to understand something, and said with some appreciation, "So, you think that after fighting them, if you win by chance, you will waste a lot of energy, and you will be at a disadvantage if you fight me in the end? But don't you think
I have never thought that if such a thing really happened, wouldn't I give you a chance to adjust your breath?"
Chen Chao said helplessly, "I think you think too much. I just find it troublesome."
He Yi just thought that the young man in front of him was just being tough, looked into the depths of the imperial city, and said with emotion, "Don't worry, we are in the imperial city tonight, I won't kill you, even if I really have this intention, I won't do such a thing here.
Stupid thing."
The dispute at the imperial banquet was an issue between young people. No matter how big the dispute was, it would not attract the attention of the real big shots. But if he killed people in the imperial city, it was regarded as a provocation to His Majesty the Emperor. Then the problem would be
Extremely, no matter how weak the Liang Dynasty was, the Emperor of Liang always needed to be respected.
In other words, if this was not the imperial city of Daliang, then the Chen Dynasty would not be able to escape death tonight.
Chen Chao said, "In return, I won't try to kill you tonight."
He looked at He Yi with a smile and seemed to really think so.
He Yi shook his head, didn't say anything, just stretched out
He stretched out his hand, and the wind blew up in the field. His Taoist robes swayed slightly, and indescribable energy flowed through his Taoist robes.
Chen Chao held down the handle of the knife, raised his head and glanced at He Yi in front of him, then started running without saying a word.
He had done this kind of thing many times, so when he was running, he thought of those monsters in the mountains for no reason. Among the monsters in Tianqing County, he was a notorious big devil, but he didn't know that he would still be alive in this life.
Is there any chance to go back again?
Thinking of this, he actually became sentimental.
Fortunately, the next moment, he had come to his senses again. Looking at He Yi, he seemed to have seen the most ferocious monster in the mountain.
…
…
Zhengyang Palace is actually a very low-lying palace in the imperial city. There are many palaces at high places around this palace, but they are very far apart. It is not easy to see from those palaces. On weekdays, it is not easy.
No one will look at the square in front of Zhengyang Palace in front of these palaces.
But tonight is not an ordinary day. Emperor Liang stood in front of a certain palace and looked at the square in front of Zhengyang Palace. Although the two were far apart, it was not difficult for Emperor Liang.
A lot of things happened tonight, from the queen summoning Chen Chao, to the young man from the Ning family pretending to be a fool for others in the Zhengyang Palace, to the test by the monk outside, to Xie Nandu speaking out, to the young man returning to the Zhengyang Palace, but there was no
He didn't know anything. Thinking about what the young man said at the banquet, Emperor Liang couldn't help but smile. He was very satisfied with the young man's reaction at the banquet, no matter what the reason for his reaction was.
But it is enough.
This is the situation he wants to see.
A young man should be a little unbridled and assertive after all.
"This kid is really good. I like him very much. What about you, what do you think..."
Emperor Liang suddenly spoke, his voice was calm, but he stopped abruptly before finishing his sentence.
It was already the third watch, and the queen was weak and had already gone to bed. Li Heng, his most trusted chamberlain, was outside the Zhengyang Palace. Before coming here, he had retreated, but there was no one around him at the moment.
His voice wandered in front of the empty temple, like a wandering spirit.
He had been living like this for a long time, but in fact Emperor Liang was still not used to it. What he liked was the days when he rode horses and hunted in his fiefdom.
Emperor Liang was silent for a long time, and then said sadly, "I forgot that you have been gone for many years."
