There was a table next to him, and there were three shirtless men in sackcloth, all of them with short hair, muscular build, thick calluses on the backs of their hands, they looked like they were practicing boxing.

The three of them were eating refreshments and drinking freshly made green tea in one mouthful, talking about Zhongling Villa.

"... If you want to talk about martial arts competitions and recruiting relatives, didn't you also say that as long as you can win, you can go. If I can win, can I also marry that Wan Qingqing?"

"I told you all, this kind of competition to recruit relatives, if you dare to do it so openly, with your three-legged kung fu, you can throw it down in less than a round!"

"Nonsense! I've been training hard for 13 years, so I'm still afraid that a mere little girl won't succeed!?"

"Then you can try it. If you are lucky, you will become the chief man of Tianyinmen's inner courtyard. If you go out in the future, you will be majestic and domineering in Xuanjing City."

"That's right, maybe those who went up beat up the little lady one by one, and it happened to be your turn to go up. If you're lucky, you can win if you aim at her with a weak leg!"

The two sang and bragged and made fun of the other man.

The man was so blocked that his face was flushed, and he kept retorting. In fact, he also knew that he was definitely not the material, but he couldn't lose when he lost, and he couldn't lose with his mouth.

Wei He withdrew his attention and asked the buddy to deliver a cup of tea and refreshments to the coachman.

The coachman Lao Li is an old man who has been working in Tianyinguan for many years. He has good skills in the outer court. Because he is old and has no hope of breaking through, he has also learned leg skills and rough hard skills. Still have some strength.

Wei He asked him to sit down and eat together, but Lao Li stubbornly refused to come, saying that he had to take care of the horses and carriages so that they would not be stolen.

Wei He also let it go.

After sitting for a while, the waiter fed the horses some fodder and drank some water, Wei He was about to get up and leave.

Suddenly galloping on the road from far to near, several healthy horses came galloping.

These horses are different from ordinary horses. They are fat and strong, and their coats are shiny. The most important thing is that the four hooves of these horses are actually cat-like claws.

There are fleshy pads on the paws, and when running lightly and quietly, there is even a faint scent of a predator.

The horse riders were also different from ordinary people, all of them were tall and straight, with well-proportioned and powerful muscles, no matter men or women, there was a trace of awe-inspiring coldness on their faces.

There are a total of four horses in the team, two men and two women, but their movements are uniform, with very little difference.Even the dust splashed when running is not bad.

The four horses passed by the tea stand without stopping, and continued to gallop away.

"The members of the Chijing Army...are really different from ordinary people!"

The horses left for a long time before someone at the tea stand made a faint sound.

"I heard that the Chenzhou rebellion is getting louder and louder. It has defeated the imperial army several times in a row. Among them, Zhang Song, the general of the rebellion, who calls himself King Dingshan, has already started to build a government..." Someone sighed in a low voice.

"Isn't there a notice posted at the gate of the yamen before, I'm afraid it won't be long before conscription will be forced."

"No way... We have one hundred thousand Chijing troops stationed there, isn't it said that the rebellious troops are all peasants? Why..."

"That's right, Yu Chizhong, the commander-in-chief of the Chijing Army, is a veteran who has guarded the frontier. He will definitely not let the thieves come over. What's more, the people in Taizhou are tough and everyone practices martial arts. If the thieves don't come, it's fine. If they come , let him go and never return!"

Under the common topic, people at several tables immediately linked up and discussed in full swing.

It's just that Wei He never heard the discussion about Zhongling Villa again.

Instead, this group of people began to talk about what strange beasts the Chijing Army had captured, what bandits had been killed, what strange murders, and rural rumors about wealthy families having unmarried children.

Wei He sat at the table, holding slightly hot tea in his hand, and suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling.

In the eyes of martial artists from these sects, the Jianghu martial arts sect they are facing is everything.

The entanglements, fights, and calculations among the warriors are all that can be seen.

But outside of another layer.

The chaotic army gradually became a climate, and the various regions gradually became independent, supporting independently, the imperial court lost control of the localities, and the world was in chaos.

People pay more attention to what is around them.

And the entanglement between warriors is like a little wave in it, which is fleeting in the general trend of this world.

"You are... Brother Wei Hewei from Yubei Town?!"

Suddenly a voice pulled Wei He back from his distraction.

Wei He looked back.I saw two women who were also wearing Tianyinmen's strong clothes, standing not far from him, looking at him with some trepidation.It seems to be worried about admitting the wrong person.

The two were obviously not from the Wanqingyuan, one was handsome and the other was upright and generous.

The figure looks uneven due to long-term exercise, and it is quite hot.But that was obviously caused by dressing up in tight clothes and tightening her figure.

If you look closely, you can see the clear muscle outlines on the arms of the two women.

It's just that the daughter's family loves beauty, and carefully uses special methods to cover it up.

"Are you...?" Wei He was sure, although he didn't remember seeing the two of them.However, his goal of walking slowly has also been achieved.

That is companionship.

"Senior Brother Wei has never met us, but we have known you for a long time." Among the two girls, the dignified and generous one smiled heartily.

She pointed to her companion who bowed her head shyly on the other side. "Her name is Meng Qing, and I'm Zhang Lingxu. We've met Senior Brother Wei a few times in Yuxingfang before, and we've heard that Senior Brother has become a martial artist after only a few years of entry. Supporting you to become the helmsman of Yubei Town, I never expected to meet here."

"Zhang Lingxu, Meng Qing, good name." Wei He nodded with a smile. "Which courtyard are you from?"

"We can't compare to senior brother, and we are still in the outer court." Zhang Lingxu waved his hands again and again, blushing a little.

"But Qing'er is coming soon. She has better talent than me, so she should be able to enter the inner courtyard soon. If she is admitted by the Wanqing Academy, Senior Brother Wei should take care of her." She smiled and pushed Meng Qing beside her. .

"Yes. Although I'm not a powerful person in the inner courtyard, it's okay to take care of my junior sister a little bit." Wei He nodded with a smile.

The three sat down and chatted for a while, and sure enough, the two also went to Zhongling Villa to watch the fun.

After all, Wan Qingqing is the chief of the inner court, a martial artist with the highest level of strength, and usually there are not many opportunities to see masters of this level compete in public.

So the two also went to open their eyes.

As soon as everyone talked about it, the three of them simply walked together, so as to have a support along the way.

What surprised Wei He was that the two women did not travel alone, and there was a team of about ten strong domestic servants not far away.

In the team, two of them were visibly surging, and they were all second-blood warriors. It was obvious that the two women had good backgrounds.

But it's better if there are more people, it's more convenient to do things like this.Wei He had a plan in mind.

……

……

……

Zhongling Villa.

Early in the morning, not far from the arena set up by the villa, there is a small building on the mountain.

On the main seat in the building, Wan Ling, the head of the Wanqing Academy, was sitting upright in a light gauze dress.

On her right side, sitting side by side was a middle-aged man with an elegant appearance and a literati-like demeanor.

The man was dressed in a black robe with fluttering sleeves. He had a small black beard on his chin, which was palm-length and hung down to his chest.Although the robe on his body was loose, it still couldn't conceal his unusually strong upper body muscles.

The temperament of a warrior and a literati are subtly combined in this person, which is unforgettable at first sight.

This person is Zhou Shun, one of the deputy masters of Tianyinmen.

In addition to the two, Xiao Qingyu, one of the nine sons of Tianyin, the head of Zhenglinyuan, also sat beside Wan Ling.

Both of them are women from the Nine Sons of Tianyin, and they are relatively close to each other. This time, Wan Ling called her to help out.

In the small building, there is also the representative of Zhongling Villa, the Chief Steward Liu Bo, an ordinary old man who looks like an old farmer.

Although it looks ordinary, there are several three-blood warriors around him who are willing to serve as a foil to show his status.

Apart from the four big figures, there were quite a few other people sitting in the lower row, including Wan Qingqing, Zhou Yugui and others.

In the small building, on a large chandelier at the top, hundreds of candles illuminate together, dispelling all the darkness in the entire lobby.

"Thank you, Vice Sect Leader Zhou. Head Xiao of Zhenglin Academy is here to help host the young girl's martial arts competition." Wan Ling, head of Wanqing Academy, stood up and nodded slightly at the two people of the same level.

"The head of Wanyuan is being polite." Zhou Shun said with a smile.

"Xiao Ling, you and I still see each other like this? I also watched Qingqing grow up, who will come if I don't come?" Xiao Qingyu's tone became more familiar.

Wan Ling looked at this good sister gratefully. She didn't have many friends in Tianyinmen, but Xiao Qingyu was the only one who supported her all the time.

This time Qingqing was able to fight for this opportunity to be her own master, and it was also the support of the head of the Xiao Qingyu Academy that made the current situation possible.

Xiao Qingyu is over half a hundred years old, but his face is still radiant, without a trace of wrinkle or plaque in his appearance. Apart from being a little rich, this plain-looking best friend has given Wan Ling too much support.

After recovering, Wan Ling clapped her hands.

"Now that everyone is here, let me tell you that there are some things that need to be prepared in advance for the little girl to recruit relatives."

Her beautiful eyes swept over everyone present, and her eyes fell on many young warriors present.

"Because there are many participants, but there is only one little girl. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce three screeners here, so as to block most of the people whose strength is far from enough. So as not to waste the little girl's physical strength, and the final result will be unfair."

Chapter 136

Wan Ling looked at everyone.

"So, who is willing to go on stage and act as the little girl screener?"

No one responded, they were all hesitating. This is going to be a real shot, and if you are not careful, you may be injured.

Fortunately, Wan Ling Wan Qingqing had already selected the three of them in advance, and it was just a formality at this time, asking casually.

According to the previous agreement, Wan Ling looked at the three people in the crowd.

These three people had made an appointment in advance and were willing to be suitable candidates for the screening.

After all, with this identity, it doesn't matter if you want to, but you need to be strong enough to help Wan Qingqing screen out as many candidates as possible.

In order to prevent Wan Qingqing from being physically exhausted in the following round-to-face battles.

It's just that Wan Ling looked around, but suddenly found that the eyes of the three people were flickering, and their heads were lowered.They had made an agreement before, but they didn't say a word.

At this time, it was originally time for them to come forward and 'volunteer themselves' as screeners.

But for some unknown reason, the three of them remained silent.

"Is anyone willing?" Wan Ling asked emphatically again.

Among the many warriors present, some were disciples of Wanqing Academy, some were disciples of other courtyards, the number was not complete, and some of them did not make it on the way because of the distance.

No one said anything.

Wan Qingqing was in the crowd, looking left and right, the inner court disciples she had taken care of before, all shrunk their heads like turtles, not daring to look up at her.

The three people invited by the mother also bowed their heads and remained silent.

She knew that many people here hoped that she would not be impulsive and get married with the Lishan faction smoothly.

But she never expected that there are so few people who support her...

In the lobby, the atmosphere gradually became silent.

If there is really no one to be selected to take the stage, Wan Qingqing can only go up to the wheel by herself.

This is extremely bad for her.

Even if she is a martial artist, she has achieved great strength and is forging bones, but her strength is not endless.

Strength is linked to energy and blood, and linked to physical fitness. After consumption, it will become thinner and weaker, and it will take time to rest and recover.

What's more, when Wan Qingqing took the stage this time, everyone knew her strength and reputation.

Therefore, the one who dares to challenge on stage is definitely a martial artist.

Otherwise, below this level, no one thinks they can win.

After consecutive martial arts competitions, no matter how strong Wan Qingqing is, she will soon be exhausted.

unless extended.

But prolonging the time is afraid that it will increase the variables in vain.

Wan Ling didn't think that Zhou Shun came here purely to watch a show.To know the victory or defeat among martial artists, it is not simply based on the strength.

It also depends on how to deal with moves and adapt to the situation.

Theoretically, Qingqing should be stronger than Yan Jiuhai, but if her condition declines, even if she has a rest for an extended period of time, she will inevitably be mentally exhausted.

At that time, one will ebb and flow, and if the opponent has thoroughly studied Qingqing's methods and prepares for the next move, the outcome may be uncertain.

Now, the three people who had made an appointment suddenly changed their minds. There is no doubt that Yan Jiuhai must have done it.
