Is it because Wan'er was able to find out the hidden martial arts secrets one by one because she is Huang Shang's daughter? Although this reason is a bit far-fetched, Li Yu can only explain it this way. In the original plot, Huang Shang's disappearance will

It will be many years. When he appears again, her enemies and relatives have already passed away. This time she goes to the capital and returns without success!

"Wan'er, although I have never met your father, I admire him very much. Even if the capital is destroyed, I will help you find him." Xuetong took Wan'er's little hand and said firmly.

Di said. When Wan'er saw this, tears flowed out again, and she was naturally very grateful to Xue Tong.[www]

It takes only a few hours to get from Hangzhou to Beijing. When the sky gradually darkened, the carriage had already become quiet. Wan'er, who did not know martial arts, leaned aside and fell into a deep sleep. Most of the others had already entered into self-study.

"Haha, your internal strength hasn't recovered yet?" Tiantong's laughter sounded in Li Yu's ears. It was a little different from usual. It was deeper and the voice was clearer. She was transmitting the sound into the secret. "Sleep,

For people who don't know martial arts, sleeping is much more useful than meditating."

Li Yu heard it, but ignored it. Over the past two days, he could clearly see the tired look on his face. Sometimes he could feel tired, which he had never felt before. He even had a hint of doubt,

Can his martial arts skills be restored?

"Haha." Tiantong laughed and stopped talking, seeming to have entered into self-study.

The capital has been a lot more lively recently. The city gates are crowded with carriages wanting to enter the city, and the inns and restaurants are filled with lavish travellers. There are also many more soldiers patrolling the streets than usual. The passage to the palace was opened years ago.

It has entered a state of control, and the gate of the inner palace has been closed an hour earlier. Although the news of the border war has spread throughout the capital, it is still far away from here after all, and it is located in the safest place in the country, so I am not nervous at all.

There is no atmosphere either.

As more and more Jianghu people arrive in the capital, and with the huge arena set up in the square in front of the palace, the topic of martial arts competitions in the capital has already become the most popular topic among the people. Those wandering talkers have also spread the content

From historical legends to Jianghu legends, amidst the flash of swords and shadows, there was a wave of martial arts, although it was only spiritual.

***

The seventh day of the first lunar month is the day before the official start of the martial arts competition in the capital.

Li Yu stood up from the chair dejectedly. Apart from being physically and mentally exhausted after several hours of adjusting his breathing, he had not regained any internal strength. He stretched out his hand to push the door and walked out, and a burst of noise hit him. This is the most ordinary place in the capital.

In normal times, for the same price, one can stay in the most expensive and luxurious apartment in Beijing.

"Wan'er, don't be discouraged. I'm going to arrest the editor-in-chief of that editor for questioning!" Xue Tong's voice came along with the sound of people going upstairs. It was already dusk, and they had been out all day.

Judging from the meaning of her words, it seems that she has found nothing. Huang Shang's plot has been revised. Not only does she have a surviving daughter, but she is not involved with the Ming Cult, so the direction of her search is much blurred.

There were constant sounds of people drinking and drinking from downstairs. For most people, this martial arts competition in the capital was just a fun thing to watch. Waiting is always boring, but unfortunately this is the capital, and there are too many restrictions.

I can't think of anything else to do while eating and drinking.

"Good Wan'er, make me a pot of tea later. I'm really tired today!" Xue Tong's voice was very coquettish, and she sounded like she was acting coquettishly. Just as she finished speaking, she turned the corner and saw Li Yu standing at the door.

His face suddenly turned red. "Huh, look, I'm not interested in you. I'm so greedy for you."

Li Yu touched his nose and drank tea. He didn't care much. "The martial arts competition is about to begin. You have been looking for it for several days. Take a day off. I will accompany you to find it the day after tomorrow."

Xue Tong was quite moved when she heard this. She loved the excitement the most, but she had agreed to Wan'er's promise before, so it was hard to change her tune now.

"I will listen to you." Wan'er agreed immediately. As soon as she arrived in the capital, Xuetong dragged her around to find her father's whereabouts. At first, she just looked for people to inquire about, but as she became disappointed day by day, Xuetong returned.

She has clearly lost her patience. Since the day before yesterday, she has arrested some people from time to time, either court officials wearing official robes, or wealthy people with a sinister look on their faces. If this continues, one day she will want to arrest the emperor.

Yes, it is also necessary to take a break.

Li Yu smelled the familiar smell of Junshan Silver Needle and glanced at Tian Tong, who was sitting quietly aside. This was the first time he saw her after arriving in the capital. The red energy on her face seemed to be brighter.

"Brother, are you in there?" Chunyan found Li Yu after knocking on several doors. "The announcement of the martial arts competition came out." He took out a list of names from his arms and handed it to Li Yu.

On the way, he was snatched away by Xue Tong. The black line on his wrist had long since disappeared, and his face looked better than before. When he arrived in the capital, Li Yu received a message from Ning Mou, canceling the agreement to meet on the fifth day of the lunar month.

, and explained the poison caused by Chunyan, but it was caused by a pill called "Xinhuabangfang". Taken before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it can clear away fire and remove dampness, and can make people feel fragrant all over the body. Because the season is wrong.

, it actually has no effect on people.

"It's the sect's final list." Xue Tong muttered to himself after glancing at the list.

Chun Yan said from the side, "Due to the changes in the situation at the border, the imperial court canceled the individual martial arts competition, and it started directly with the competition between the sects." It seems that the border conflict has begun. As for the battle between the sects, the decision should be

Rebel leadership!

"The title of the best country-protecting sect in the world is quite famous." After Xue Tong read it, he put the list back on the table. Tian Tong had no intention of reading it, so Li Yu took it.

What is different from ordinary court documents is that the terminology on this notice is much more common, and there are many fewer modifiers. After a concise and concise introduction to the situation at the border, it is directly the list of sects to fight, and the next step is

An introduction to some rules, and finally a description of the rewards. Being the best sect in the world to protect the country, this is the highest reward, an honorary title.

"Is there any new news coming from the border?" Li Yu asked after putting the notice back on the table.

Chunyan shook his head, "But the Privy Council has been sending out messengers recently, and it seems that the situation is not optimistic."

Li Yu was noncommittal. The enemy situation at the border was reported by the imperial court, and the Privy Council was the highest military institution of the dynasty. Whether it was true or false was just one side of the story. According to his guess, the war at the border might be a fiction, just to boil blood. But things

Xiang Wu Absolute, if it is true, it is normal. After provoking a conflict and then letting them go out together, cooperation under friction and contradiction will naturally lead to casualties.

The imperial court? The Jianghu?

The eighth day of the first lunar month is the Laba Festival.

Before dawn, there was a scene in the inn. Many people were noisy and walked outside the inn, but they retreated after a while, cursing and dissatisfied. The road to the arena was blocked.

, saying that the time has not come yet, so you can’t get close.

"Hmph, how dare you block my way? Aren't you the 'evil-faced' Wang Er who scares everyone in the world?" A big man with a pockmarked face came into the store yelling, "Young man, waiter, you're going to die!"

Go and bring me ten pounds of burning knives."

No one else in the store paid attention to him at all. The more famous his name is in the world, the more he is a nobody. As for the reason why he was stopped, it was very simple. He didn't even look at where the ring was set up.

As a human being, beheading is just a matter of words.

While we were drinking, the sky was slowly getting brighter. "Hurry up, hurry up, there won't be a seat if you're late!" Rapid footsteps sounded outside the shop. Suddenly, there was a rush of chickens and dogs in the inn, and tables and chairs were kicked over.

, those who were grabbed and screamed after not paying, were intertwined.

"Senior brother, it's okay!" When Chun Yan arrived, the inn was already empty.
