The Flame City Competition will be held in three days, and Zhao Fei has returned to Flame City ahead of schedule. Lin Xuejiao brought her children back with her. After returning, they visited Lin Guozhong and Xu Baichuan.

The Zhao family's residence has now been changed into the Protector's Palace. With these words, who in the Canglang Empire would dare to go to the residence to cause trouble?

Zhao Zhenduo has moved into the City Lord's Mansion. After all, he is the City Lord, and it is more convenient to work in the City Lord's Mansion.

There were more than a hundred people who came with Zhao Fei, all of whom were selected as referees. Not only did they ensure that the competition was fair and just, but they also needed to discover talents. Those young people with outstanding performance were selected to attend Qinghuang Academy.

.

Zhao Huihuang and Zhao Ronger have been playing with Zhao Wen since they came to Flame City. They both like to play with their uncle. Lin Xuejiao makes time to talk more with her uncle and third uncle.

"Girl, do you understand the importance of your original choice now? We didn't think highly of Zhao Fei at the beginning, but always underestimated him." Lin Guozhong said with emotion.

"Uncle, do you still need to talk about this now? We are a family that loves each other." Lin Xuejiao said with a smile.

"You will never find a young man as outstanding as Zhao Fei. Even I admire him." Lin Shuang said with a smile.

"Third uncle, you can't make fun of the juniors." In fact, Lin Xuejiao was very proud of herself.

"I'm going to Heshuo City soon. Look at your father. Do you have anything you want me to bring?" Lin Shuang asked Lin Xuejiao.

"Zhao Fei and I and the children are doing well, and my brothers are doing well in the mountains. I will bring them all back soon, so that my father does not have to worry about us. Once I have the opportunity, I will take them there

It’s up to my father.” Lin Xuejiao’s eyes became moist as she spoke, as she hadn’t seen her father for a long time.

"Well. Once the war starts, I will stay with your father. My mother-in-law also talked to me. She is completely relieved that you are with Zhao Fei now. When the time comes, she will also go to Heshuo City to stay with you.

After all, it's the most dangerous place around father." Lin Shuang didn't hide anything and told Lin Xuejiao truthfully.

"Well. Now that you are all gone, I feel more at ease. With grandpa and the others here, the Zhao family is very safe. In a year or two, the Zhao family will be fully grown. Anyone who tries to take advantage of the Zhao family is asking for trouble." Lin Xuejiao

Said confidently.

"I won't stay in Flame City for too long. These 300,000 troops will definitely support the front line. We are all gone, and those younger brothers and sisters will be left to you." Hearing what Lin Guozhong said, Lin Xuejiao hurriedly stepped forward.

nodded.

Lin Shuang and Lin Guozhong chatted a lot with Lin Xuejiao and finished all the things that needed to be explained. Because they would leave the Flame City at any time, it would not be so easy to meet again after this separation.

The more Lin Xuejiao talked with her uncle and third uncle, the more sad they became. The parting before every war was like a separation between life and death. The Lin family is a family of military generals, and it is the responsibility of the Lin family to resist foreign enemies. They have no right to choose, they can only contribute to this country and this nation.

Own.

In the evening, Zhao Fei hosted a banquet and entertained everyone. Because we had less and less time together, everyone tried to communicate as much as possible every time they met.

The triennial competition in Flame City has finally arrived, and Flame City has been overcrowded in the past few days. Although Flame City has expanded a lot in recent years, hundreds of thousands of people have poured in at the same time, and it still can't accommodate all the guests.

There are several times more people participating in the competition this year than in previous years, which makes Zhao Zhenduo both happy and worried. What he is happy about is that the cultivation level of many young people in Flame City has risen sharply, but what worries him is that with so many people, how can we guarantee these days?

No surprises?

Zhao Fei got up early today. He kept an eye on the movements in the Flame City. He was afraid that the Qilin Gang and the Yinshan Sect would come to cause trouble. It would be terrible if so many people caused trouble.

In fact, the most nervous person these days is Old Man Qingfeng. He didn't sleep all night last night and kept a close eye on the situation in Flame City. He didn't feel relieved until nothing unusual was found.

The game lasts too long, which increases potential risks. Just because everything is fine today does not mean everything will be fine tomorrow. Zhao Fei has arranged for dozens of experts to patrol around the city and will report to him immediately if any special circumstances are discovered.

At dawn, the square in Flame City was already crowded with people. Most of them were family members of young people participating in the competition, as well as some good-hearted people from Flame City. There were hundreds of thousands of contestants alone. Although the square had been expanded, it could not accommodate so many people.

It's still a little too small for many people.

When Zhao Zhenduo led everyone to the square and saw the dark crowd, they still felt nervous.

Isn't there too many people? Although they were mentally prepared in advance, they still felt very nervous when they saw so many people at the scene.

"Brother Xu, the first round of eliminations will be held faster. The eliminated players will be sent out of the square immediately to reduce the pressure here. There are too many people and we must not have any accidents." Zhao Zhenduo hurriedly discussed with Xu Baichuan.

"Okay, I will make arrangements as soon as possible, so you don't have to worry too much." Xu Baichuan was actually very nervous inside.

After the brief opening remarks, the competition began immediately.

The first round is the knockout round, where two pairs play against each other. If they lose, they will be eliminated directly.

Although the plan is very thorough and perfect, the actual operation is still very difficult. After one day of competition, the first round of knockout rounds is still not completed, and there will be another day tomorrow.

"Oh! I'm really exhausted today. This is not a job for humans." After the game, Zhao Zhenduo came to the Protector's Mansion and arranged to have dinner here in the evening.

"You feel uncomfortable when you have nothing to do. Why are you complaining when I have something to do?" Zhao Wuwei rolled his eyes at his son.

"Father, I'm not complaining, I'm just too tired. Although I'm tired, I'm very happy." Zhao Zhenduo said with a smile.

Zhao Wuwei prepared dozens of banquet tables in the evening, and all the managers were having dinner here. The tension of the day was now a little relieved. Everyone was drinking wine and discussing tomorrow's game.

Zhao Fei, Granny Jinhua and others did not attend the dinner, nor did Old Man Qingfeng. They had been guarding the surroundings of the Flame City.

Zhao Fei, Zhao Kun and Lin Xuejiao have been guarding the north gate of Flame City, while Li Sanchang arranged for five thousand cavalry to be stationed outside the city.

They were right to be cautious. How could the Qilin Gang and Yinshanmen give up this opportunity to cause trouble?

In fact, they had been here a long time ago, but seeing how tightly guarded the Fire City was, they did not dare to enter the city and kept wandering around the edges.

"Special envoy, the Zhao family is so cautious and so many experts are closely monitoring us. We have no chance at all. Why don't we give up this time?" Yao Bing suggested to Jade-faced Butterfly.

"Yes, I still underestimated the determination of the Zhao family. They are indeed too diligent. If we enter the city at this time, we will definitely be blocked by them. It is absolutely impossible to escape. Let's arrange a retreat now."

Jade-faced Butterfly decided to give up this plan. He was not a fool and would die in vain.

Zhao Fei didn't know that Jade-faced Butterfly was hiding outside the city. If he knew that Jade-faced Butterfly was coming, he would never let him go. Now that Jade-faced Butterfly is no longer his opponent, when he meets Zhao Fei, Jade-faced Butterfly only has

Being abused.

The night was uneventful, which made Zhao Fei feel a lot more relaxed.

The first knockout round continued the next day. Xu Baichuan controlled the number of people pouring into the square. Today there were tens of thousands fewer people than yesterday, and the place was still very crowded.

"Brother Xu, we still have to speed up the progress, otherwise today's knockout round will still be incomplete." Zhao Zhenduo was a little anxious.

"Even if we speed up the progress, we still can't finish today. You'd better not be anxious and take your time." Xu Baichuan shook his head helplessly.

One day passed, and the first round knockout round was still not over. It would take at least one day. This was already beyond their scheduled time, which made Zhao Zhenduo very helpless.

"Don't be a trooper. No one will come to cause trouble. You all should go back and have a rest." Old Man Qingfeng said to Zhao Fei and Lin Xuejiao who were patrolling.

"Grandpa, it's a very important matter. I don't dare to let down my guard. There can't be any accidents at this time." Zhao Fei said quickly.

"I have inspected everything within fifty miles outside the city, and I haven't found any masters lurking. There are so many masters in the city, and even if someone sneaks in, they will be scared away." Zhao Fei felt relieved after hearing what the old man Qingfeng said.

"Go back and rest. Leave it to me. There should be no problem with me here."

"Thank you for your hard work, Grandpa. Let's go back first." Zhao Fei did not show any pretense and took Lin Xuejiao, Zhao Kun and others back to the Protector's Mansion.

"What are you doing sneakily? Can't you be upright?" After Zhao Fei left, old man Qingfeng said to the distance.

"Old guy, you have a dog's nose and you are really very sensitive." Madman Yang walked out of the darkness with a smile.

"With all your skills, can you still hide it from me?" Old Man Qingfeng snorted coldly.

"If you can't just stay in the palace and enjoy the happiness, why would you come to the Flame City?"

"It's lonely in the palace, so I came here to chat with you and talk."

"Go away, I have nothing to say to you. I hate your sly look." Old Qingfeng said dissatisfied.

"Don't be like this, I'm here to be of some use. Some people with ulterior motives around the Flame City have been scared away by me, so let's go ahead with the big competition in the city. Hehe."

"You have done something humane."

"You can't just praise me and treat me to a drink." Madman Yang pestered the old man Qingfeng.

"Don't you see that I'm busy with business? I don't have time to treat you to a drink." The old man said angrily.

"Don't worry, no one can come here to cause trouble. As long as they dare to cause trouble, they will stay here. I have brought ten secret guards here, and they are guarding the outside. Anyone who wants to get close to the Flame City must ask if they agree.

Agree." Madman Yang said proudly.

"Haha, it's not a small gesture. Since they are here, there should be no problem with their safety, so I'll treat you to a drink." Old Man Qingfeng took Crazy Yang back to the Protector's Mansion.

"Xuejiao, prepare some food and wine for me and bring it to my room. I have guests coming. Don't tell anyone and don't come near me." The old man directly ordered Lin Xuejiao to prepare the food and wine.

"Okay, grandpa. Don't worry, no one will disturb you." Lin Xuejiao agreed readily and did not ask who the visitor was. She would ask what she should ask, but she would never ask more if she shouldn't.
