Chapter 237 Within the rules, strength is fairness
In the noisy courtyard, red lanterns were hung along the walls. The stars were dim tonight and the moon was half hidden, which somewhat spoiled the atmosphere of the celebration banquet.
But this is not difficult for a group of great witches and small witches with vast magical powers.
Someone took out seven East China Sea shark beads and decorated them in the air, like seven full moons hanging in the sky, shining with divine light.
These East China Sea shark beads are hollowed out and filled with sea water. Mermaid-like sharks swim in them, causing the sound of waves and emitting blue and white divine light, lighting up the entire courtyard.
There were only ten banquet tables in the courtyard, and no outsiders were invited. They were all people from Qingshui County who came to participate in the competition.
Tie Tang walked towards the chairman at the front step by step and found Li Qingwan.
"My lord"
Li Qingwan waved her hand to stop Tie Tang's words, and then connected her five fingers, and a layer of transparent ripples rose up, covering three feet of her body and Tie Tang.
After placing a ban, other people will not be able to hear their conversation, and even those who are good at speaking will not be able to see it clearly.
"Sir, why did you let Long Yu and Li Yao enter the secret realm of witchcraft so quickly?"
The cultivation strength of the two of them has indeed met the requirements of the Wujin Secret Realm. Normally, it would be nothing, but now the time is obviously not right.
Li Qingwan picked up the wine glass and took a sip. A blush appeared on her cheeks, which was so charming that Tie Tang did not dare to look at her for a long time.
"How far do you think we can go?"
How far to go?
Tie Tang knew that Li Qingwan was asking him how far he could go on the road to the competition in Qingshui County.
Qingshui County won the first place among the eight counties. It sounds nice, but in fact it is still a county. The essence has not changed.
Even in terms of ranking, it is still at the bottom of the Seventy-Two Counties, not even the middle and lower reaches, just the lower reaches.
However, Tie Tang was full of confidence, "At least it won't be a problem to get rid of Renxiajun!"
He had also seen geniuses from Renzhong County and even Renshang County in the Nest of the Divine Dove.
Tell the truth.
Not very good either.
Even if you don't take action, you can still find a character who can resist one or two.
Li Qingwan shook her head slightly, "It's not that simple!"
"This time we were able to win first place among the eight counties, but the risk was extremely high and it all relied on your full strength.
It's not that I don't believe you, but I'm afraid that the situation like Xiuyang County will happen again in the future.
If you can't play, even if you want to kill the enemy, there is nothing you can do.
The competition in Renzhong County will definitely be more intense than that in Renxia County. If we have another complete defeat like that in Longyuan Realm
I'm afraid I won't have the good luck this time.
If we want to continue to climb up, not to mention how many points we can score, at least in each level, there should be no possibility of a complete defeat, or even a double defeat."
Tie Tang had come to his senses at this time, "So if you let Long Yu and Li Yao step into the secret realm of Wu Jin, with them in charge of the Long Yuan Realm, the Divine Power Realm, and even the Linghui Realm, even if I am restrained by the Inspection Department, I can still maintain at least one game."
Undefeated?"
Li Yao is also a ninth-level talent, and his strength should not be underestimated.
And Longyu is the pinnacle. Once you enter the secret realm of Wujin, it is not difficult to enter the Longyuan realm.
At the pinnacle of the Dragon Origin Realm, it is easy to sweep through the same realm. I am also very confident in the Divine Power Realm. Even the Linghui Realm can fight.
In Tianxinjing, there are Tie Tang, Fang Yuanwu, Yang Xiong, Wu Congyun and others. No matter what, they will not be unable to win every game.
Not to mention the Mystic Realm of Magical Witches, even the masters of Renzhong County must recognize the strength of Qingshui County.
"Yes, as long as the two of them enter the Dragon Origin Realm in a short time, at least we will not be completely defeated again."
"What about the realm of physical body exchange for blood?" Tie Tang was puzzled.
Without the two main forces of Long Yu and Li Yao, Qingshui County's exchange situation is in a mess, and the possibility of being completely defeated is extremely high.
"This is one of the reasons why I asked you to come. I will continue to prepare the manpower for the blood exchange realm, but this is not the key.
Before leaving, the Marquis revealed some little secrets to me, and the rules will probably be changed again in the subsequent competition."
"Ah? Why is this?"
"Because our competition here has been reported to the court by a dedicated person, many people are not satisfied with the performance of the Wen Dou level.
However, Wen Dou was changed by Marquis Zhongyong on the spot. No one knew what he was thinking, and few people would offend a prince for such a trivial matter.
Therefore, some people questioned the performance of this level and wanted to cancel it.
But if this level is cancelled, then the officials who fought for this link will be slapped in the face, and they will naturally not agree.
Now these people are still in a stalemate, and what is certain is that the competition will definitely change again."
Tie Tang was confused for a moment, "If the rules are temporarily changed, wouldn't it be unfair to the counties and cities that have already finished the competition?"
Li Qingwan smiled slightly, with shallow pear dimples appearing on both sides of her cheeks, which was extremely beautiful.
"Strength means fairness!"
"You have no strength and are ranked last. Is it fair to negotiate? You can't negotiate and you are not qualified."
"Besides, if we really want to break the pot and ask the question, it's actually fair. After all, the counties and cities participating in the competition still use the same rules.
As for how to change the rules for further competitions, what does it have to do with you?
Just like our eight major counties, except for our Qingshui County, the rankings of the other seven counties have been determined, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have been eliminated.
No matter how the rules change, it will have no impact on them."
"Has this situation often happened before?"
"Not to mention common, but small-scale changes occur in every competition. After layer upon layer of changes, maybe it is not surprising that the rules of the human county and the sky county are completely different in the same competition."
Tie Tang folded his hands on his chest and said after thinking for a moment, "Everything happens for a reason. Why does the court do this?
A stable set of competition rules should be more convincing."
"Of course the imperial court wants stability, but the imperial court is not one person, but is composed of many people, many officials, and countless forces.
Wherever there are people, there will be selfish desires.
Without digressing, let’s talk about this competition. One of the biggest reasons why the subsequent rules will be changed is because of us and Qingshui County.
Some counties and cities may have lost confidence in the strength of their own counties after seeing the strength of our county.
But the competition must go on, and there will be no possibility of cheating.
What would you do if it were you?"
Tie Tang rolled his eyes and said, "If you are not good enough, then start with the rules and try to modify the rules that are beneficial to your own county."
"Not bad!" Li Qingwan applauded.
"Many people think so too, and do so."
"Just think about it, among the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, which one has no hometown? Which one has no origin?
All.
No one jumped out of a stone. They all have parents, brothers, relatives and friends, even a wealthy family, and fellow villagers.
Even if they are now powerful and occupy high positions, they cannot change the origin of their ancestral home.
At this time, officials from their own hometown came to look for them, hoping to take advantage of the county-city competition and provide some benefits to the county-city.
Can you agree?
Within the rules, as long as they don't exceed the rules, everything is acceptable.
It's nothing more than a slight change in the rules of the competition. For them, it's just a matter of words.
It's really not difficult.
And no matter how the rules change, fairness is guaranteed.
Because everyone is competing within the same rule system, it is definitely a thing of the past."
"According to what you say, sir, someone in the county thinks we have become a threat and wants to temporarily change the rules?"
"It may not be Renzhong County, it may be a county with a higher level!" Li Qingwan said in a surprising way.
"But it doesn't actually matter, because we can't change the outcome, we can only wait quietly for the conclusion to emerge.
Before that, I need you to help us explore the county and collect some information."
"Oh? Your Excellency, you want me to be a 25-year-old boy?"
Li Qingwan scolded, "What a mess, I want you to go to Jiuyao City, the county seat of Dabi in Renzhong County, to find out the details of the other eight major Renzhong counties.
Their manpower should have been gathered and waiting for us.
Of course, you have to hide your identity, let alone reveal your supreme aura, I will prepare these for you."
"So that's it. It's a trivial matter. Tie is also a police officer. It's his job to investigate internal organs, investigate and investigate, and arrest rape.
Don't worry, sir, but how much time do I have?"
"Half a month, at most, maybe ten days. For counties at the upper, middle and lower levels, after each competition, the promoted counties have half a month to rest.
The main purpose is to heal some of the more seriously injured people. We also have Ji Yingzhe in our county, and people like Sister Wu who are more seriously injured need time to recover.
If no one in your own county is injured, you can start early. In short, the court will only give you half a month at most to solve the problem yourself."
Tie Tang calculated with his fingers that the competition in Renxia County had been going on for about half a month. Including the rest time, it was almost a month.
And this is only a competition between eight counties and cities, but the Great Shang Dynasty had a total of seventy-two counties.
"If you calculate this, wouldn't it mean that each competition will take at least nine months?"
Li Qingwan nodded, "It's about the same. It can be as fast as half a year or as long as one year. It's basically the same period of time, but we won't take that long.
Whether we can break through the human capital is still unknown. Our opponents will become stronger and stronger. You, me, Lu Zhengqing, Long Yu and others are strong enough, but Qingshui County may not be able to keep up.
I don’t know exactly how far I can go, so I’ll just do my best.”
"That's true. No need to think too much. Let's get through this hurdle first. When do you want me to set off?" Tie Tang also knew the dilemma faced by Qingshui County.
There are too few talents!
If you want to break out of the tight siege, you must win the first place in the competition at each level. This is not something that only a few geniuses can do. It requires everyone to work together.
No matter how the rules of the competition are changed, it still depends on the overall strength and foundation of a county and city, rather than on its uniqueness.
Li Qingwan pondered for a moment, "How is Ji Yingzhe's injury? How much longer do you need?"
"If he can't die, it means he's fine. Once his acupuncture points recover, let Mr. Qiu or Mr. He dredge his veins, straighten his muscles and bones, and then make up for the lost longevity."
"In this case, you come with me, and someone will go with you."
After speaking, Li Qingwan stood up and walked towards the catwalk in the yard.
Tie Tang hurriedly caught up, but kept waving, "No, sir, I'm enough alone. Don't let me be a nanny, please."
For things like gathering information, Tie Tang asked himself that one person was enough. It wasn't like going to the Holy Capital to sing songs or sneaking into the palace, so he didn't need so many people.
Li Qingwan didn't even look back, "It's up to you, you two decide for yourself."
