"Retreat? Then I'll wait." The third young master said calmly.
The most taboo thing about a retreat is being disturbed by others. He had already offended Xia Qingchen deeply, and if he disturbed her retreat again, he would really have no chance of having any friendship with Xia Qingchen again.
ah?
Fang Cuihong almost thought she heard wrongly. The master of the military palace made a special trip to wait for Xia Qingchen?
No one would dare to believe it if I told it, right?
At the same time, she and hundreds of knights secretly shouted in their hearts, what is the background of our Lord Xia?
In the past, there was a medicine king who was willing to become a medicine disciple, and in the later period, the master of the military palace made a special trip to wait for him.
This... this is the treatment that only princesses and princes have, right?
The third young master was lingering outside, waiting patiently.
One day passed, and Xia Qingchen showed no signs of leaving seclusion.
The third young master wanted to wait, but he had no time.
"Li Yuan, please wait outside for me. I'll go back and deliver the errand first." The third young master not only had to report the situation of the duel, but also hand over the bet. He really couldn't delay any longer.
Li Yuan nodded in agreement, but said in his heart that the third young master had missed his last chance.
The eldest young lady and the second young lady are all human beings.
Most likely, they have already found out about the Sword Burial Pond, and even know about the existence of Xia Qingchen, the Sword Immortal.
The Third Young Master didn't call for Xia Qingchen immediately, so he never had another chance.
As expected, the eldest young lady and the second young lady will take action soon.
Military palace.
The fresh and pleasant back garden is filled with refreshing fragrance of flowers, quiet and comfortable.
Ever since the Third Young Master can remember, he has never savored the subtle beauty of the garden, except today.
Because this place is where the palace lord works daily.
Every time he saw the palace lord, the third young master was extremely nervous and couldn't breathe. How could he enjoy the beautiful scenery of the garden.
But today is different.
For the first time, he discovered that the air in the garden was so fresh.
"Zhengshuo did a great job, exceeding my expectations." Sitting in the garden pavilion was a skinny middle-aged man.
On the right cheek, a long scar spreads from the eyebrow bone to the chin.
The scars look like flesh-colored centipedes, ferocious and terrifying.
The two eyes in his deep-set eye sockets seemed to be able to eat people, very vicious.
Others were sitting there, not even a chirping insect, giving people a depressing feeling like the coming of a violent storm.
This person is Lord Qiye, the master of the military palace who is in charge of all the troops in the Liang Realm!
In front of him were three young people standing with bows.
From left to right, they are his third son Jun Zhengshuo, his second daughter Jun Yaolan, and his eldest daughter Jun Ruyin!
Jun Zhengshuo glanced at the eldest sister and the second sister who were not out of breath, feeling proud and proud.
After many years, one day it was his turn to be praised by his father, while his eldest sister and second sister listened obediently.
Jun Qiye played with the yellow silk package in his hand and murmured: "King Liang was already prepared to lose a piece of it. Unexpectedly, not only did he not lose, he actually won a piece!"
It turned out that they expected to lose the duel.
But surprisingly, they actually won.
Jun Zhengshuo was curious, but did not dare to ask what was in the yellow package.
"Now that the matter is over, there are some things you should know." Jun Qiye gently held his palm, and a terrifying air flow shredded the yellow silk, revealing a three-color crystal.
There is a magic word sealed in the crystal.
Jun Zhengshuo looked confused, wondering what this thing was and why both parties valued it so much that they did not hesitate to use it as a bargaining chip.
After all, Jun Ruyin and Jun Yaolan were more discerning. They recognized it at a glance and said in surprise: "A chess game between immortals and demons?"
At the border between Liangjing and Zhongyunjing, there is a mountain range of Yimo Crystal Mine that spans the two realms.
There are large and small Yimo mines in the mountains.
For this reason, wars often broke out between the two sides.
The most recent war was the loss of the mine that shocked both the inside and outside a few years ago.
A Yimo crystal mine guarded by the Northwest Army was attacked by Zhongyun Realm at dusk and occupied.
During the war, the Northwest Army suffered heavy casualties, many famous generals died, and the Zhao Mansion, a first-class family at that time, was almost destroyed.
Once a new Yimo mine appears and there is a dispute, if both parties are unwilling to start a war, they can resolve it through the Fairy and Demon chess game.
The so-called Immortal and Demon chess game is for both sides to send one hundred and eight strong young men under the age of twenty to compete on an ancient huge chessboard.
One side is a fairy and the other side is a demon.
The winner controls this mine.
Because the mountain range is extremely vast, it has never been fully explored by both sides, and new mines often appear.
Therefore, the Fairy and Demon chess game will appear every seven or eight years.
"The geniuses selected by Tianyue Kongxing this year have finally been put to use." Jun Yaolan murmured.
King Liang spent a lot of money and manpower to organize the Tianyue Dakini in the 108 regions, and it was not without reason.
The purpose is to select the strongest person in each domain to deal with the fairy and devil chess game that may appear at any time!
Jun Ruyin nodded and said: "If nothing else happens, King Liang will soon summon the top geniuses in the sky, moon and sky in each region."
Jun Qiye nodded slightly and said: "At most half a year, the Immortal and Demon chess game will begin. You should try your best to find your own candidates. There may not be peace by then."
Jun Ruyin and Jun Yaolan nodded.
The fight for the Xinyi Mo Mine may not be resolved peacefully. If the mine that emerges is too shocking, the contract may be broken and a second showdown will take place.
For the second showdown, we need to find another 108 geniuses.
Tianyue Kongxing has almost screened out the 108 top geniuses in the Liang Realm, and it is simply impossible to find someone as strong as them.
So they can only settle for the next best thing and look for slightly inferior geniuses.
If you find one or two geniuses who are hiding and never showing up, and whose strength is higher than the number one Tianyue Dakini, then you have to grab them at all costs.
Jun Zhengshuo's heart was beating loudly. He knew that there was someone who was not on the Tianyue list, but was extremely powerful, higher than the 108 geniuses!
That is, the Earthly Sword Immortal, Xia Qingchen!
Jun Qiye said: "As long as the game of Immortal and Demon Chess can be solved in one go this time, if not, it needs to be played twice. If the three of you can make meritorious deeds, you will be richly rewarded as fathers!"
In his life, he rarely said the four words "everything will be rewarded".
Once you say it, it will definitely be a very important reward.
The hearts of the three of them were beating wildly. Could it be that the father was preparing to decide on an heir?
Jun Qiye has revealed in secret many times that he is about to select a successor. Does he want his three heirs to pass this test?
The more I think about them, the more possible it seems!
Jun Ruyin and Jun Yaolan looked at each other with a strong sense of competition.
Of course, they did not ignore their third brother Jun Zhengshuo.
"Okay, let's each do our own thing," Jun Qiye said.
The three of them left the garden.
Jun Ruyin and Jun Yaolan both walked in front, while Jun Zhengshuo walked silently behind the three sisters as always.
Suddenly, the eldest sister Jun Yaolan stopped.
She turned back to look at Jun Zhengshuo and said earnestly: "Third brother, it's better not to argue with us. In the future, our two sisters will keep you safe for the rest of your life."
Jun Zhengshuo's eyes became sharp and he said: "Why? I am also the palace lord's son, why can't I fight for the palace lord's inheritance? Don't you think it's despicable to persuade me to give up the fight?"
The two sisters have very similar views on this issue.
Second sister Jun Ruyin sighed: "Third brother, do you think we are afraid of your competition? To put it bluntly, what do you have that deserves our fear?"
Jun Zhengshuo wanted to refute, but he had no reason to refute.
The two sisters are too good, and since he has accomplished nothing, there is really nothing for them to be afraid of.
Jun Yaolan sighed slightly and said: "I advise you because you are not suitable to control the military palace!"
"Why do you make such a conclusion?" Jun Zhengshuo said immediately unconvinced.
He considers himself talented and affectionate, but he just lacks the opportunity to express himself.
Jun Yaolan looked at him and said, "It's just that you don't even know how to recognize people!"
What's the meaning?
Jun Zhengshuo felt slightly guilty and said, "Why do you say that?"
