When the sword duel between Lu Qingping and Jiang Xiaodong ended.
After another half an hour, the last eleven winners of the whole game had been decided.
Among the remaining eleven people, except for Lu Qingping, there was no surprise that Zhuo Hongfei was among them. Apart from him, Li Chenglong was defeated by Zhao Hao, who was also a child of the local family in the previous round of duel.
.
He was originally on par with Zhao Hao, but because he had been injured by Jiang Xiaodong before, his condition was not at its peak at all, and defeat was inevitable.
Among the three major family camps, the two losers, Li Chenglong and Zhou Fan, both had bloodshot eyes and found it difficult to accept, but they had to accept this defeat.
I originally wanted to win the crown in the knife test competition, but I didn't expect that both of them would be embarrassed.
"The eleven swordsmen will go back to rest for the time being. The day after tomorrow, we will decide on the final sword crown!"
Tomorrow is a showdown between masters of the Celestial Realm, so the remaining eleven people will have to choose the final sword crown the day after tomorrow.
"Let's go back to the high-rise building first."
Lu Qingping and the other two were preparing to go back.
Suddenly, he felt someone watching him. He turned around and saw a young man in black with a slender figure but an ordinary face, looking at him from a distance.
Zhuo Hongfei.
Lu Qingping looked calm, standing dozens of meters away, slightly cupping her hands and fists.
He read the fighting spirit in the eyes of the strongest young swordsman in the area.
Zhuo Hongfei couldn't help but remain silent when he saw that Lu Qingping felt his gaze and actually turned her head and cupped her fists and raised her hands.
He had completely witnessed the battle between Lu Qingping and Jiang Xiaodong just now.
It has to be said that although Lu Qingping's cultivation is weak, her sword skills are unrivaled by the younger generation in Junzhou.
The realm of sword intention.
A young man of similar age to him actually understood the meaning of the sword at the same age and established himself as the future Grand Master.
This made Zhuo Hongfei feel frustrated but also had a strong fighting spirit.
"Even if someone says that I use my realm to suppress you, so what, I must understand what kind of realm the sword intention is!"
He started practicing swordsmanship at the age of eight, and was taught by his father, a famous local swordsman.
When asked about the meaning of the sword, Zhuo Yuan's answer was: "The path of the sword comes from people, the power of the sword comes from heaven and earth, but the meaning of the sword returns to people in the end."
"In the beginning, sages created moves and routines. This is the crystallization of human wisdom."
"But as we practice martial arts, we become more and more aware of the insignificance of human power, so we have a second realm. We integrate the natural trends of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers into martial arts. Each move can drive the general trend of mountains and rivers.
Pei Mo can't control it."
"But later on, people discovered that it is better to return to oneself than to imitate heaven and earth. Man will never be able to become heaven and earth."
"The truly powerful power comes from the person himself. When a martial artist's invincibility reaches a certain level, even the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth will cry in fright, so in the end there is this third realm."
"The third realm of artistic conception is an idea formed by the martial artist's understanding and sublimation of what he has learned. With this idea, what the martial artist practices can be called martial arts, otherwise it is just martial arts."
This is martial arts practiced based on people.
Martial arts.
Martial arts.
A difference of one word means a thousand miles of error.
Zhuo Hongfei turned around, murmured these words, and left the bluestone field.
…………
the other side.
Along the way, Jiang Xiaodong was in a gloomy mood and couldn't bring himself to show any interest.
Song Weiyu shook her head at Lu Qingping and smiled helplessly.
It has to be said that this sword fight was a big blow to Jiang Xiaodong.
The passion and pride of youth were completely shattered by Lu Qingping's sword.
"You should rein in your temper from now on. Master has told you a long time ago that the world is huge, there are people outside the world, there are mountains outside the mountains, and the most indispensable thing is powerful masters..."
Each mountain is higher than the other.
When Jiang Xiaodong heard this, he suddenly sighed in an old-fashioned way and said: "I wanted to pick up a sword crown and go back to show off to my junior sister, but now it's better. I will be laughed to death by her after I go back."
Seeing Jiang Xiaodong's performance like this, Song Weiyu smiled in her heart. The master had long said that among the disciples of this generation, several senior brothers and Xiaodong were the most talented and kind.
Although Xiaodong is young and arrogant, it does not mean that he is arrogant and ignorant.
It seems that this time of training is also a good thing for him.
She glanced at Lu Qingping and showed some gratitude.
Thanks to this other young man, Xiaodong was able to suffer a moderate loss in advance, restrain his character, and be able to make great achievements in the future.
"I obey you now, but that doesn't mean I will always obey you in the future. Do you dare to agree with me that we will compete again in three years?"
Jiang Xiaodong suddenly took a few steps forward, stood in front of Lu Qingping, and said loudly.
Lu Qingping smiled and agreed.
On the way back, they heard loud shouting all the time.
In the afternoon, I was still calling Jiang Xiaodong, but it was now in the evening.
Everyone without exception was shouting his name.
But Lu Qingping knew herself well.
"Because I have the black butterfly, I have obtained the complete inheritance of sword intention from Ye Hongxue, the first person on the list. Being able to display sword intention is not because of how good my talent is, but because I have obtained a huge treasure.
Dig it anytime, anywhere and make it your own.”
He didn't know whether his talent was good or bad, but the only thing he was certain of was that his opportunities were good.
That's why I can have magical creatures like black butterflies to help me.
Soon we returned to the high-rise building.
As a result, as soon as he arrived at the door, a group of people came to congratulate him.
"Yongqing Gambling House, congratulations to Mr. Lu for becoming famous in one battle, and I'm here to give you a small gift."
"Daxing Gambling House, congratulations to Mr. Lu..."
"..."
In fact, three casinos in a row sent people to send some congratulatory gifts.
Looking at the six hundred taels of silver, Lu Qingping seemed to be struck by lightning and was stunned on the spot.
Song Weiyu saw this and smiled and said: "Take it, you suddenly came out and defeated Xiaodong, making all the casino owners in the city earn more than hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. To thank you, I only sent you a mere six
One hundred taels, they are really stingy, if you don’t accept it, it will be for nothing.”
The three casino visitors were not embarrassed, they were laughing and saying congratulations.
The benefactor who made them hundreds of thousands of taels of silver didn't care at all when someone said a few words to them.
However, Lu Qingping was heartbroken, and only then did she wake up. She regretted and said, "It's a big loss. I should go to the gambling house to buy a bet for myself."
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaodong's face darkened.
It's like no matter who you meet, you know you will win.
However, the corner of his mouth twitched, and when he thought about it carefully, Lu Qingping really wasn't afraid of anyone except Zhuo Hongfei.
Just when the three of them were resting on the high-rise building.
The other side.
After the sword fight in the bluestone field ended.
"Have you found any suspicious candidates?"
The two teams from the Arrest Division and Qin Tian Division gathered together, Liu Xu frowned and asked.
"None of the eleven people who finally entered the sword fight matched the image and characteristics described in the wanted order, and according to people from the Zhou family, the knife held by the murderer was a sharp weapon.
Yang Ning's body was severely injured, but no one was seen using this sword during the duel." Qin Tiansi's behavior is ridiculous.
"Are you pretending to be confused? There are wanted notices posted all over the city. Will the murderer show his true colors openly and openly? Will he take out the highly iconic knife to participate in the duel?" Liu Xu was furious.
Cursed.
"But...if the murderer disguises himself, it will be even harder for us to identify him."
"Perhaps, the murderer didn't come to participate in the knife test competition at all. Who would be so brave and dare to show his face in public after killing someone?"
After hearing his subordinate's words, Liu Xu's expression also changed.
We cannot deny that what my subordinates said makes sense.
He turned to look at Song Chu and said in a deep voice, "Didn't Captain Song find anything?"
Song Chu said calmly on the side: "Song didn't find anything, but I do have a suggestion. If the murderer really disguised himself and sneaked into the knife test meeting, we couldn't find it based on his appearance. But as an eyewitness on that day,
The Zhou family who saw him commit murder may be able to tell. Unfortunately, today's knife test competition has ended. I suggest that in the next two days, we can bring the Zhou family to the scene to see if he can
Identify..."
Liu Xu's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he said: "This is a feasible method."
However, he didn't find it.
After lowering his head, Song Chu's eyes flickered...
What wasn't found?
No.
Song Chu already has a suspect.
Others don't know the identity and appearance of the murderer. As he knows the inside story best and deceives superiors and subordinates, isn't it clear?
The murderer was the prince's son, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who had escaped from the Northern Tang Dynasty.
And the name of His Highness the Crown Prince...
Lu Qingping...
Although the young swordsman named Lu Qing today looks like a young man, not only does he not match the image on the wanted order, he does not even match the image of the young prince. However, Song Chu, who knew who he was looking for from the beginning,
How could you not doubt...
There's only one word missing from the name.
"It is said that the prince will arrive in two days. It just so happens that the sword battle of this young generation is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Let these Qin Tiansi dare to touch the prince's treasure Nilin on that day, and then let the prince move to anger Zhou Mu.
Your Majesty, the task entrusted to me by the prefect has been completed."
What he needs to do is to ensure the safety of the young prince at any cost in this audacious calculation.
Otherwise, not to mention himself, even the prefects behind him, and the entire northern territory may have a major earthquake.
His heart trembled at the prefect's audacity, daring to use the prince's son to scheme against Zhou Mu, but as a subordinate, he could not disobey.
The local official families are colluding, and the network of relationships behind them is huge. As a member of the local officialdom, he only knows the tip of the iceberg, and feels terrified, let alone dares to violate this family alliance that has been inherited for thousands of years.
…………
Climb high buildings.
It's already the second day.
Lu Qingping originally planned to go and watch the battle between those masters of the Heavenly and Human Profound Realm today.
As soon as they went out, they saw the Wudang Mountain siblings looking eager to go out.
He subconsciously opened his mouth and asked.
Song Weiyu was anxious and said without looking back: "There is news about our senior brother. He is in the south of the city. We have to go there."
