Chapter 20 Bai Liqi(1/2)
In the next few days, Mei Changsu didn't go to see the competition once. He was recuperating in Xuelu due to illness. Fortunately, after the prince and Prince Yu came to test him last time, they both felt that he was a person who was difficult to subjugate with kindness and power.
Before he thought of a new way to win over, none of them came to harass him. He read books, tuned the piano, and recuperated every day, and his complexion was indeed much better.
Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin had to fight every day because they signed up, so naturally they couldn't accompany Brother Su. On the contrary, Xie Bi was very leisurely and would take some time to come over every day to chat. They talked about all the topics in the mountains, south, and sea.
Yes, just not a word about King Yu.
But every time after dusk, the snow house would become lively. Yan Yujin was worth ten noises, and told Mei Changsu the events of the day like a storyteller, especially describing the fight between him and Xiao Jingrui.
At that time, the words were even more gorgeous, and he was frothing at the mouth, as if he was talking about a peak battle that would shake the world and change the general trend of the martial arts world. I'm afraid it would be even more exciting than watching it live.
"Don't you blush?" Xie Bi often touched his elder brother's arm and complained, "Is this you Yujin is talking about? Why does it sound to me like the god Erlang descended to earth, and all he had to do was tie a roaring dog next to him.
."
Xiao Jingrui would usually smile bitterly, but would never stop Yan Yujin from spoiling his fun.
On the other hand, I sat aside and looked at the flying water in the sky coldly, and from time to time I would say: "Impossible!"
Yan Yujin thought for a long time before he understood what Fei Liu meant. After that, when he described specific moves, he didn't dare to exaggerate them.
However, although he was a bit bragging, in terms of strength, he and Xiao Jingrui were undoubtedly top-notch. The first few rounds of competition were uneventful. Although there were occasional thrills in the past two days, they still ended in victory.
The emperor would appear on time at the Yingfeng Tower every day to show his attention. Although everyone knew that he would leave after watching one or two games at most, he still felt very honored. Most of the young people who came to participate in the competition were not really just rushing.
They went to marry Princess Nihuang. After all, there was only one quota, and it was too difficult. More people regarded this conference as a display platform, hoping to earn some reputation for achievements, improve their status in the world, or
Gain the favor of those in high positions and be promoted to an official career.
In this way, everything is going according to plan. The marriage recruitment conference is going on in a lively manner, attracting the attention of people all over the world as expected. Every day, some people are eliminated sadly, and there are also rookies who become famous in one battle, and they are different from the group it represents.
Compared with the result of integrating wealth, fame and power, this whole process cannot be said to be less exciting, at most it is just not surprising enough.
However, although the accident may be late, it will happen eventually.
At dusk on the seventh day after the competition began, when Mei Changsu saw the solemn expressions of Yan Yujin and Xiao Jingrui running into the snowy hut, he realized that something surprising must have happened.
"Brother Su! Brother Su!" The person who shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door was of course Yan Yujin. Because he had been running, the sides of his cheeks were a little red, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead. He rushed over and dragged Zhang
He sat down on the bamboo chair and said hurriedly before taking a breath: "Oh no, something big has happened!"
"What's wrong?" Mei Changsu put down the book in his hand and sat up straight, "Did you and Jingrui lose?"
"What does it matter whether we lose or not? But today Shangzhi lost!"
"Qin Shangzhi?" Mei Changsu raised his eyebrows disapprovingly, "Although he is considered a master of the younger generation, he has not yet reached the peak, so it is not surprising that he lost, right?"
Xiao Jingrui also sat down next to him at this time, and said with a very serious expression: "It's not surprising that he lost, but he lost with one move!"
Mei Changsu couldn't help being surprised, "How is that possible? Even if his opponent is Commander Meng, he can't be defeated with just one move, right?"
"That's why you said something important!" Yan Yujin paused and said.
"Could it be that the one who defeated him was not someone from Daliang?"
"If it was from Daliang, we wouldn't be so anxious. He is from Beiyan. His name is quite strange. His name is Bailiqi. He had been pretending to fight hard in the previous rounds. Seeing that tomorrow is the decisive battle, today he suddenly showed his strength. Look,
Not only does he want to win, but he also wants to shock the remaining opponents."
Mei Changsu frowned: "Besides Tuoba Hao, there are other people like this in Beiyan?"
"This person is a practitioner of hard kung fu. He has a rough appearance and muscles as strong as iron. Shang Zhi underestimated him as a barbarian, so he was a bit over the top. As a result, he attacked with one move, but the opponent didn't even dodge.
He couldn't stop it in time, so he picked off his shoulder with a palm, making him unable to move his arms, so he had to admit defeat." Although Xiao Jingrui was also anxious, his emotions were not so exposed. He only had a sullen face and a relatively calm tone, "Although he made a move
It’s a bit unfair to lose, but it’s true that Bailiqi’s strength is extraordinary. If that kind of martial arts meets a person with solid skills and deep internal strength like Commander Meng, he may not be able to get any advantage, but..."
At this point, he paused as if he couldn't bear to speak clearly, but Mei Changsu already knew what he meant next.
After all, Princess Nihuang is a woman, and martial arts is mainly based on skills and supplemented by skills. It is the most disadvantageous to deal with this kind of hard skills. If you accidentally miss it, something big will really happen.
.
"Don't panic," Xie Bi, who was already in the snow hut, interjected, "according to the competition system, it may not be a dead end. Even if Bai Qi breaks into the top ten, the decision-making power of the literary test is still in the hands of the emperor.
. When the time comes, just rank him as the last one."
Mei Changsu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he shook his head and said: "But in this way, Princess Nihuang's wishes cannot be guaranteed. Originally, she didn't like it, so she just had to defeat that person with all her strength. If there is not one of them among the ten, she
If you like it, you don’t have to marry. But now there is such a master who is difficult to win and who is absolutely unwilling to marry. Even if he is ranked last, he is still a threat. In order to avoid the possibility of losing in the final battle with him, the princess
In the end, we have to choose one of the top nine to become a husband. I'm afraid it is really humiliating for a proud and arrogant person like her to be forced to face such a situation."
"Tomorrow's finals will determine the ten shortlisted candidates. Can Brother Su come and take a look?" Xiao Jingrui approached Mei Changsu and whispered, "Your knowledge in martial arts is far better than ours, maybe you can judge.
How dangerous is Bailiqi and how to deal with him..."
"Are you and Yujin going to compete with this man?"
"No," Xiao Jingrui shook his head and denied, "Neither Yujin nor I are on the same team as him, and we will not meet him tomorrow regardless of victory or defeat. But if he wins tomorrow, he will definitely be shortlisted. I hope Brother Su can observe more
He'll give Princess Nihuang some useful suggestions."
"Yes, yes," Yan Yujin agreed, "Jing Rui may not necessarily be better at martial arts than me, but after receiving guidance from Brother Su along the way, he actually ran ahead of me."
Mei Changsu smiled faintly and said: "The princess has become one of the top masters. After all, what I can suggest is limited. She is different from Jingrui. Jingrui's martial arts is not as good as others, so the room for improvement is bigger."
"Brother Su," Xiao Jingrui said with a bitter face, "can you say it more tactfully? This is really shocking..."
"But it is too dangerous for the princess to directly face an unfamiliar master after just one game tomorrow." Mei Changsu frowned slightly and said. "We still need to think of another way to add a barrier in the middle.
That’s it.”
"Brother Su, has there been any solution?" Yan Yujin asked impatiently.
"Before tomorrow's decisive battle, the emperor can issue an order to add two more challenge days."
"Challenge Day?"
"Yes. The reason is to avoid unfair schedules due to grouping. Tomorrow's final ten winners will be the challengers. All the losers in the previous few days can challenge a winner who is not the winner of their own group. A battle
If you win, you can become the new challenger. After two days of fighting, the last ten people left are the ones who can really enter the literary test. Those who dare to challenge the winner are not ordinary people, even if they cannot
Defeating Bailiqi can at least give the princess more experience."
The three noble gentlemen nodded frequently, and Yan Yujin praised: "What a great idea!"
"But if you have to enter the palace overnight, please ask the emperor to issue an order immediately." Mei Changsu reminded casually.
"This is a small matter, I'll just go to the palace right away!" Yan Yujin said without thinking.
"No, no, no!" Xie Bi quickly stopped him. Although he was a little embarrassed, he finally asked with a blushing face, "Let Prince Yu go down and ask for the order, okay?"
Everyone present was not stupid. They knew what his intention was as soon as they heard it. They all glanced at him without saying a word.
The emperor has probably received a report about Bai Qi now, and he must be anxious. Going to him to make this suggestion at this time will of course make the dragon happy. The princess also has a favor that he takes for granted, and there are many
The losers are naturally more happy to get a new opportunity. Even the ten winners, for the sake of face, will not oppose strongly and show weakness in vain. So no matter how you look at it, this is a hugely beneficial thing.
No wonder Xie Bi was so shameless that he wanted to fight for King Yu.
"Since Xie Bi wants to run this errand, then go ahead." After a while, Mei Chang Su Fang responded lightly.
Xie Bi was overjoyed. After saying "Thank you" several times, he quickly got up and left without any further delay.
As soon as he left, a strange silence fell in the room. Mei Changsu laid his head back on the warm pillow and closed his eyes to rest. Xiao Jingrui didn't like to mess with this, let alone his younger brother, so he had no choice but to stay silent; Yan Yu
Although there was no difference between the two factions, because of Queen Yan's relationship, she was involved with King Yu after all, so it was difficult to comment much. The scene was somewhat silent for a while.
After a while, Yan Yujin finally got tired of sitting like this, so he thought of another question and said, "You think it's strange or not? With what Bai Qi showed yesterday, he should be among the top ten in the world."
Why is there no trace of him on the Langya List?"
"You don't know this, do you? You're pretending to be a Jianghu person," Xiao Jingrui said before Mei Changsu could say anything, "The Langya Master List has shown from the beginning that it ranks all masters based on their performance.
, those hermits who never show up in the world, even if their martial arts have reached the state of transformation, as long as they don't use it, Langya Pavilion will not consider it. Of course, sometimes this ranking will be surprising, but that is just because the news from Langya Pavilion is always the most
It is thorough and sensitive, and it can find out the results of many unknown battles that are carried out in secret, so it is slightly different from the general perception. This Bailiqi has become such a limelight now, and he will be on the master list next year.
I will definitely be able to board it.”
"Tch, didn't you just learn something more from Brother Su? You taught me a lesson," Yan Yujin puffed up his cheeks unconvinced, "I'll move to the Snow House tomorrow!"
Xiao Jingrui smiled and said: "You are noisier than a thousand crows. Even if Brother Su can bear it, Fei Liu will not..."
Before he finished speaking, a cold sentence suddenly came from the treetop above his head: "Fei Liu refuses!" Yan Yujin was startled and he quickly moved closer to Mei Changsu.
"Fei Liu is back." A smile appeared on Mei Changsu's face. Just as he raised his hand, Fei Liu's figure flashed and he was already leaning over.
"Is it fun outside?"
"Is not fun!"
"Feiliu doesn't like brother Yujin moving here?"
"dislike!"
"why?"
"It's very similar!"
Yan Yujin blinked his eyes curiously: "What does it look like?"
Mei Changsu laughed and said, "He said you feel very much like our Lin Chen from Jiangzuo. That is the person Feiliu can't stand the most." He turned around and teased the young man, "Why do you say they are so similar?"
