"You haven't asked me what your surname is yet?"
Guessing that this person was Murong Xiu's chosen candidate, Tie Que looked kind and cheerful.
"Ruo Yan." Ruo Yan replied calmly, as if he didn't take a court official like the Minister of War seriously.
"Master Ruoyan is the last candidate to participate in the competition today." Tieque did not feel dissatisfied at all, and still said in a friendly manner, "I hope you can show your manly style and win a beautiful woman. Don't let down His Majesty's hard work.
."
"Hmm." Ruoyan managed to make a sound from his nasal cavity, which was regarded as a response to Tieque.
Behind the spectator seats on the north side of the arena, a large number of people from the Imperial City were bustling. Even though there were no seats, it did not affect the people's strong interest in this grand competition.
Zhong Wen, Ye Qinglian, Zhu Ma, Qiu Tianlong and others were also among the crowd, always paying attention to what was going on in the ring.
"Huh? Old enemy." Zhong Wen saw the golden pattern embroidered on Ruo Yan's chest from a distance, and couldn't help blurting out, "Isn't this a person from the 'Zhuge Thatched Cottage'?"
The two disciples of "Zhuge Thatched Cottage" on the street left a deep impression on him.
Just because the golden pattern on the chest of the blue robe is the word "ancient" in ancient divine texts.
"Yes, they are the clothes of the 'Zhuge Thatched Cottage'." Qiu Tianlong seemed to have figured something out, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, "It turns out that the emperor wants to marry Jiang Yushi to Zhuge's family. What a good plan!"
"'Zhuge Thatched Cottage' doesn't seem to be under the jurisdiction of the Fulong Empire?" Zhong Wen asked confused.
"Yes, it is precisely because the 'Zhuge Thatched Cottage' has always remained neutral and did not participate in power struggles that the emperor can rest assured that the Jiang family will marry them." Qiu Tianlong explained, "Otherwise, no matter how discordant these big families seem to be, once the core
Intermarriage between children will more or less lead to collusion with each other and the possibility of strong alliances, which is nothing less than a potential threat to the emperor."
"You have to be careful about this and that all day long. Being an emperor is really a hard job!" Zhong Wen couldn't help but sigh, "I don't know why so many people want to sit on that dragon throne."
"Supreme power always makes people lose their minds easily." Qiu Tianlong had mixed feelings in his heart, "If it weren't for the fight for power, how could I have been driven out of the imperial capital and turned into a bandit?"
"Is Mr. Ruoyan a disciple of Mr. Zhuge?" Jiang Yushi stared at the blue robe on Ruoyan and asked softly.
"I've met Miss Jiang." Ruoyan replied calmly, "I learned from Zhuge Thatched Cottage."
"It is rumored that the children of 'Zhuge Thatched Cottage' are not interested in worldly affairs and are devoted to learning." Jiang Yushi's voice was round and smooth, and she asked, "Why did the young master get involved in the Fulong Empire?"
"Miss Jiang's words are wrong." Ruoyan defended, "The disciples in the thatched cottage are just hiding from the world, but marriage is not prohibited. I have admired Miss Jiang's reputation for a long time. Although I am not talented, I still want to come and fight for it regardless of my ability.
, I hope Miss will make it happen."
"I am honored to be favored by Young Master Ruoyan." Jiang Yushi's beautiful eyes sparkled, with a slight smile at the corner of her mouth, she actually showed a ladylike style, "It's just that since we have agreed to a martial arts competition and a betrothal, we still have to trouble the Young Master and
It would be good to try some poetry."
"That's natural." Ruoyan smiled slightly, "If he can't win the competition, how can Ruoyan have the face to propose marriage to Miss Jiang?"
His temperament seems as gentle as jade, but it cannot hide the strong confidence in his words.
"Master, please!" Jiang Yushi raised her gun slightly and stopped being too polite.
"Miss, please!" Ruo Yan didn't carry any weapons, he just stretched out his right hand and raised it in front of his chest. His posture was tall and straight, his green shirt fluttering. Looking from a distance, he was holding a jade tree facing the wind, which was very elegant.
The two people stood on the ring. The man was elegant and the woman was beautiful. It was clear that they were about to use force, but they formed a beautiful picture.
A talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match.
Such thoughts instantly appeared in the minds of many onlookers.
"Tch! Pretty boy." Zhong Wen felt a little unhappy for no reason.
"Are you jealous?" Ye Qinglian glanced at him sideways and said lukewarmly.
"Jealous? Why are you jealous?" Zhong Wen's heart trembled and he pretended not to understand.
"You're a pretty good person, but you're just too lustful." Ye Qinglian sighed and said quietly, "I don't know how many girls I have to provoke before I'm willing to give up."
Zhong Wen blushed and suddenly felt a sense of shame welling up in his heart. He laughed dryly and did not dare to speak.
Zhuma stared at her big watery eyes, looking at Zhong Wen and Ye Qinglian for a while, with a look of understanding on her face.
While Zhong Wen and Ye Qinglian were talking, Jiang Yushi and Ruo Yan on the stage were already showing off their unique skills and fighting together.
Jiang Yushi's marksmanship is still as fast as the wind, elegant and agile, making people frightened and unable to guard against it.
To everyone's surprise, Ruo Yan, who seemed to be polite and powerless, not only did not lose as quickly as the previous few people, but instead fought back and forth with Jiang Yushi, and for a while, he couldn't help but
They are on par with each other and it is difficult to distinguish between them.
He did not use weapons, but waved his fleshy palms up and down. His spiritual power did not transform, but was condensed in the palms of his hands. A dazzling white light shone in his palms, making the eyes of those watching in the front row hurt and unable to look directly.
Facing Jiang Yushi's fierce spear, instead of hiding, Ruo Yan stood up and faced it, reaching out to grab the barrel of the silver spear menacingly.
Jiang Yushi did not recognize this magical skill, but instinctively did not dare to let the other party catch the gun body.
She dexterously changed the trajectory of the silver spear, dodging Ruo Yan's palm while stabbing his vitals continuously. The spear was as powerful as a dragon, and every move was fatal.
However, whenever the spear was about to hit the target, Ruo Yan could always react first, adjust his palm position in advance, and block the path of the spear tip. With his bare hands, he was able to guard it airtight, without giving any chance to Jiang.
Poetry can be an opportunity.
In just a few dozen breaths, the two of them had already rolled and fought hundreds of moves, but still could not tell the winner. The wonderful offensive and defensive battle had many onlookers cheering and applauding.
However, this made Murong Fu and others who had been defeated by Jiang Yushi look extremely ugly.
Previously, when the five people faced Jiang Yushi, they were all defeated in one second. Even Gong Qingyun, who performed best, could only sustain two moves. Therefore, although Murong Fu was in a bad mood, he was still able to maintain his mental balance.
However, Ruo Yan, a little-known outsider, suddenly appeared. He actually fought with Jiang Yushi for hundreds of rounds, and had a judgment with those five people. It was nothing more than a slap in the face in public.
Gong Qingyun and the others had passed out long ago, and they didn't know what was going on, so that's fine. Murong Fu and Ji Lieshen couldn't save their face. Both of them had gloomy faces, lowered their heads and said nothing, and their depression could not subside for a long time.
Little did he know that Ruoyan's mood at this moment was not much happier than those two people.
How could this woman be so powerful!
A storm surged in his heart, and he felt that Jiang Yushi's spiritual skills were extremely weird, and his combat intuition was rare in the world. With his powerful strength that dwarfed his peers, not only was he unable to win quickly, but he was suppressed and could only take a defensive stance.
For the arrogant Ruo Yan, such a situation is completely incomprehensible and absolutely unacceptable.
"The level of his spiritual skills is definitely above gold." Zhong Wen stared closely at Ruo Yan's movements and suddenly said.
"Although the Seven Holy Lands rely on their knowledge of divine literature to control all the secret books above gold." Qiu Tianlong said thoughtfully, "Mr. Zhuge's level of divine literature is especially higher than that of Holy Land scholars. He can break through the Holy Land blockade and decipher the secrets.
Some high-level spiritual skills are not difficult to achieve, but in the past, the disciples in the thatched cottage could not escape from the world, so we had no chance to see them."
"This Miss Jiang is quite remarkable." Ye Qinglian praised continuously, "Her spiritual skills and cultivation are not superior, but she was able to suppress this person. Her fighting talent is really rare in the world."
"Zhong Wen, can Sister Jiang win?" Zhuma asked worriedly.
The little girl has already learned from Jiang Wufeng that the reason why Xiao Zhengtai's sister was forced to participate in this contest and betrothal was inseparable from her murder of Gong Congyun, so her little face was full of worry, and she wished she could
Play in person and replace Jiang Yushi.
"Don't worry." Zhong Wen smiled and touched the little girl's silky hair, and comforted him in a relaxed tone, "She can't lose."
"You have great confidence in Miss Jiang." Ye Qinglian said lightly, "In my opinion, Master Ruoyan may not have used his full strength yet."
"Sister Qinglian doesn't know what kind of cruel training Sha Niu has gone through for this competition." Zhong Wen smiled slightly, "What's more, with my personal guidance, if you can't defeat even a disciple of 'Zhuge Thatched Cottage', let's
Where can I put this old face of mine?"
"Miss Jiang is indeed amazing, Ruo Yan admires her!" At this time, Ruo Yan shouted loudly, "Be careful!"
Jiang Yushi's heart was shaken, knowing that the other party was going to use a trick, her attention was instantly focused to the top, and every cell in her body was on alert.
"Rightness Technique!"
With a soft drink, Ruo Yan's whole body suddenly erupted with earth-shaking terrifying power. The air waves surged in the arena, dust and smoke were everywhere, and there was a constant crackle in the air. The endless and majestic pressure was like ten thousand bulls galloping, swallowing up mountains and rivers with anger.
, sweeping towards Jiang Yushi’s graceful body.
"Huh?"
Zhong Wen exclaimed, realizing that he had underestimated Ruo Yan's strength after all.
At this moment, the power displayed by Ruoyan was no less than that of an ordinary spiritual master.
Could it be... a secret method?
In his mind, he couldn't help but picture the scene where the mandrill's strength increased dramatically after using some kind of secret technique.
"Hua Lao, is Ruoyan a spiritual master?"
Above the imperial city, Emperor Murong Xiu also looked shocked. He stood up suddenly and asked an old man in white clothes behind him.
"I'm afraid not." The white-haired and white-bearded Hua Lao stroked his beard, stared closely at Ruo Yan below, and said slowly, "If I guess correctly, this should be a kind of weapon that can enhance one's strength in a short period of time.
Secret method.”
"How powerful is it?" Although Murong Xiu is a talented person, he is limited by his age and his own cultivation has not reached the realm of spiritual master. He can only sense that Ruoyan is invincible at this time, but he cannot judge how powerful this secret method is.
To what extent.
"During this secret technique, he can barely compete with the powerful Spirit Master." Hua Lao answered truthfully.
"Is there such a secret method?" Murong Xiu's eyes sparkled, "If this method could be popularized in the army, wouldn't my army be invincible?"
"I'm afraid it's not that easy." Hua Lao said coldly, "Generally speaking, this kind of secret method is extremely difficult to practice, and not one person out of ten thousand people may be able to learn it. Even if you are lucky enough to master it, it will have incalculable side effects after being used.
.”
Murong Xiu's expression froze, and he plopped down on the chair, unable to conceal his disappointment.
Won!
Seeing that his aura had successfully trapped Jiang Yushi, Ruo Yan was overjoyed. He took two steps forward, raised his right palm high, with a dazzling silver light shining on his palm, and pressed hard against Jiang Yushi's swollen chest.
"Not good!" Jiang Tianhe and his son's expressions changed drastically. They stood up at the same time and started to rush towards the ring.
It's just because Ruoyan's hand was full of murderous intent and had no sympathy or cherishment.
However, the Jiang family and his son are separated by a distance after all. How can they catch up with the battle in the ring?
The two of them had just started, and Ruo Yan's palm was already less than an inch away from Jiang Yushi, and he saw that the powerful and surging palm was about to hit the beautiful female general.
Just when many people thought that the beauty was about to fade away, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Jiang Yushi's face.
Then, she suddenly started to move.
Sideways, backhand, gun!
The whole process was completed smoothly and smoothly, and was not affected by Ruo Yan's coercion at all.
This backhand shot was as elegant as the wind, as fast as lightning, and the angle was unpredictable, completely beyond Ruo Yan's expectations.
"puff!"
Ruo Yan lowered his head and looked at the silver gun passing through his chest, with an incredible look in his eyes.?
