Chapter 406: Dispersed in a Hurry (Second Update, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket)
Meng Qi and others wouldn't take the polite words seriously, but this generation's list can be considered outstanding, comparable to Su Wuming's generation, and it can be regarded as a bright star.
It was not conspicuous three or four years ago, but now, the top ten on the list are almost all those who are one with heaven and man or have this kind of combat power. Behind them are young master Qinglian who have the strength of the top ten but are in and out, and Qing Qing. Yu Zhiwei is expected to be in the top ten at most in a year, so Yang He, who has mastered the Dharmakaya moves, Liu Qiao, has just entered the top twenty. He is not as lucky as Jiang Zhiwei, who was ranked tenth right after he came down the mountain.
Of course, Jiang Zhiwei, who was in the Sixth Aperture, was already at a very advanced level in swordsmanship, except for Dharmakaya moves, and could create her own unique moves. Meng Qi had only recently stepped into this level.
Mi Zijing yelled at the side: "We are all young people, there is no need to be restrained, sit down quickly."
While he invited everyone to sit down, he ordered his servants to bring tea and prepare snacks. At the end, he applauded and the sound of silk and bamboo came from the corner of the flower hall, making the atmosphere soft and relaxed.
"How can we have fun without dancing? I've invited a famous sword dancer from Yingcheng, who just happened to come over to join in the fun." Mi Zijing arranged things properly.
Jin Wang Zhao Yi said with a smile: "I have known Zijing for many years, and I know that he is always meticulous. If you entrust him with any trivial matter, it will be done properly."
"Thank you for the compliment, cousin." Mi Zijing said with a smile.
The two sang and harmonized, revealing their relationship to Meng Qi and others.
Wang Zai is the much-anticipated son of the Wang family in Zhou County, and his father is well-known in the local government. The current minister is no stranger to the relationship between Zhao Yi and the Mi family. He quietly explained to Meng Qi and others: "Aunt Zijing is the current Holy Minister. The noble concubine gave birth to a son and a daughter. The boy is the King of Jin, and the girl is Princess Shui Jing, who is most favored by the Holy Emperor. "
It turned out to be a relative... The information provided by Liumen always concealed a lot about matters related to the royal family. Meng Qi just understood now. No wonder Wang Zai was not surprised when he saw it just now.
Yan Chong nodded lightly. He didn't know any more about court matters than Meng Qi. After all, he came from a small sect and was in a rough world.
Chu Yunyu restrained his exaggeration slightly and said deliberately: "I have been through Jiangdong and Diqin states in the lower reaches, but I have always been close to Shendu. Today I can meet the nobles of Shendu, so it is a worry."
He was a casual cultivator. His master was quite famous and his inheritance was good. However, his temper was too strong. He died young and fell into the hands of a giant from the left. Therefore, he did not benefit from this. On the contrary, he gained more hatred from the left. , his personality and temperament became completely opposite to that of his master, he was smooth and exaggerated, and he talked about others and talked about ghosts.
But his character and temperament have nothing to do with martial arts, his own cultivation and spiritual realm. Chu Yunyu's strength should not be underestimated. He just doesn't like to cause trouble and has few achievements.
"There are not many other things in Shendu. It has the most aristocratic families, the most skilled players, the most academies, and the most brothels..." After receiving the response, Zhao Yi introduced Shendu with a smile, speaking humorously and slowly spreading the topic.
If those who are famous in the list of people love to travel to Jiangdong, then masters after the age of thirty-five often like to visit the magical city to gain opportunities.
When it came to the matter between the prince and the court, Meng Qi was uncharacteristically not active, nor did he become a major participant in the topic. He listened quietly and became more understanding of the situation in the divine capital.
Wang Zai was a child of a top family and had no acquiescence from his elders. He always kept a distance from the prince, so he did not use his extraordinary eyesight and extensive knowledge. He only responded with a few words from time to time.
Seeing this situation, Meng Qi thought thoughtfully. The royal family's attitude towards the aristocratic families seemed to be to win over the top ones and fight against the top ones.
However, the attitude of the royal family belongs to the royal family, and Zhao Yi is quite warm to Wang Zai.
After talking about the matter in the Divine Capital, Zhao Yi slowly brought the topic to the Xingyun Banquet, grasped the tea cup in his hand, and said with emotion: "Among the top ten people on the list, the ones I admire the most are Su Shaoxia and Yan Shaoxia, and the rest... , either from a major martial arts sect or from a top family, with no shortage of magical skills, no shortage of weapons, no shortage of guidance, no shortage of elixirs, and no shortage of opponents. Only you, one is from the 'Haichao Sect', and the other is an abandoned Shaolin disciple. He has seized the opportunity through his own efforts and is truly a role model for his peers.”
This is a good thing... Meng Qi praised it in his heart, but where would he put Brother Wang Zai?
Yan Chong smiled slightly, and was obviously very proud of this, but he was not the kind of narrow-minded person. He said seriously: "We can't underestimate them. The invisible battles within the martial arts sects and top aristocratic families are even more serious than the outside world. A little bit If you relax, you will be surpassed by others, and opportunities will be taken away. And you can become an outstanding person in the enlightenment period. How can you not come out of danger and hardship without personal efforts? "
Zhao Yi was about to say another word, when Mi Zijing was rewarded, clapped his hands, and a group of dancers came in. They were all women in light and elegant costumes. They were bright red, with sharp swords, both feminine and heroic. The leading woman was in her twenties. She is a rare beauty with long brows on her temples and sparkling phoenix eyes. She and Mi Ziting looked bright and beautiful for a moment. They have different styles, but they also have watery skin like white porcelain, showing the characteristics of Jiangdong.
The drums gradually sounded, and the sword dance suddenly started. For a moment, the sword light was like a tide, dripping and fluctuating, matching the swaying figure of the beautiful lady, which was quite fascinating.
Especially the leading woman, her movements are bold, and her sword is sometimes held and closed, like a woman from Xizhou galloping on a horse, and sometimes delicately, like a girl from Jiangdong singing softly, which makes the viewer intoxicated.
Not only is she outstanding in sword dance, but she also obviously has good swordsmanship skills.
"...A sword dance moves all directions...it comes like thunder to suppress its wrath, and ends like the clear light of the river and sea..." Zhao Yi seemed very satisfied with this sword dance, slapping the table next to him and chanting the poems of the sages.
Meng Qi was also watching with great interest, and inexplicable thoughts were running in his mind. If Zhiwei danced the sword, she would be so graceful. Well, if she knew this idea, she might be forced to "spar".
Meng Qi and others felt that the flow of Qi and changes in the woman's moves were not dangerous, so they all watched with relish.
The sword dance slowly came to an end. The leading woman danced forward and seemed to end with "presenting the sword" to Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi stopped reciting poems and took back his hands, enjoying what he heard.
While advancing and retreating, the leading woman finally stepped onto the steps. She dwarfed her body and held the sword horizontally. She was about to hold the sword in both hands and hand it to Zhao Yi.
Suddenly, Meng Qi felt as if an inconspicuous "seed" exploded in the woman's body, and the true energy spurted out. The whole person seemed to be transformed into a dragon in blood, breaking out of a cocoon and turning into a butterfly. The momentum suddenly changed, the coldness was restrained, the murderous aura was condensed, and then It is difficult to feel the flow of Qi.
assassin? Meng Qi didn't even think about it, he pounced directly, drew his sword in mid-air, silvery white, as fast as thunder, struck the woman's back of the head, surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao.
He did not activate Heaven's Injury and attacked from a distance, because due to the positional relationship between the sword dancing woman and Zhao Heng, they would be hit together.
At the same time, he sensed the surging sword intent next to him.
Yan Chong and Meng Qi were the first to sense the danger and drew their swords at the same time!
The woman ignored the two swords behind her. With a flick of the long sword, a meteor shot towards the moon and stabbed Zhao Yi's throat. The death energy, murderous intention, and sword energy were condensed into one. It was a murderous sword. It captured the soul first, and then took away the life!
The waiter in the black gauze hat next to Zhao Yi was slow for a moment and was unable to stop the woman from drawing the sword, but he was also very fast. He grabbed back out of thin air and dragged Zhao Yi to one side, avoiding the vital point.
The woman was waiting to take advantage of the situation to change her moves, but the two swords from behind had already arrived, either fast or fierce, covering the vital points, giving her no chance to change her moves.
She spun around on the spot, making a series of clanging sounds, and swung her long sword back twice. At the same time, she took advantage of the momentum to jump up, triggering a whirlwind, and tried to escape.
Half-step location?
Before Meng Qi could make a second slash, he heard a high-pitched snort, and the woman suddenly fell from the air and fell heavily to the ground. Her soul was banned and her acupuncture points were sealed.
Only then did he see the black hat waiter stepping on the sword dancing woman with one foot.
Is his speed too fast for me to catch? Meng Qi looked at the black-hatted waiter with slight astonishment. He seemed to be on location but not on location.
"You dare to assassinate in front of our family, you are really tired of living!" The black hat waiter's right foot "rubbed" hard on the sword dancer's body, his face full of anger and embarrassment.
It turned out to be an expert in the field, but he didn't know how old he was... Meng Qi suddenly understood.
Zhao Yi's body trembled slightly, but soon calmed down. He stepped forward enthusiastically and said to Meng Qi and Yan Chong: "Thanks to the two young heroes who found out in advance and blocked the way. Otherwise, I might have died on the spot. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. From now on, your business will be your own business!”
Just as Yan Chong and Meng Qi were about to be humble, Mi Zijing rushed over, with an embarrassed look on his face, and repeatedly apologized: "I'm guilty of being deceived by this cheap maid, please punish me!"
Zhao Yi waved his hand: "Gu Yi didn't notice it, so I can't blame you."
He turned to the black-hatted waiter and said, "Eunuch Feng, take this woman down and 'greet' her properly. Let's see who is bold!"
After saying that, he looked at Meng Qi and others and sighed: "At this time, it is difficult to have a feast and have ruined everyone's elegance. I am really sorry. Alas, since the prince is addicted to Buddhist scriptures and believes in Buddhism, he has repeatedly After being scolded by his father, there was an undercurrent in the city of God. I originally wanted to go out to relax, but I never thought about escaping from the whirlpool. "
Mi Zijing said cautiously: "There was news just in the afternoon that the Crown Prince has also arrived in Yingcheng and is staying in Puxianzhai."
"Really?" Zhao Yi's face became solemn.
Regarding the internal fighting in the royal family, Meng Qi looked at his nose and his heart without saying a word. He was just slightly surprised. Although the Xingyun Banquet was sensational, it wouldn't even attract the prince, right?
The banquet broke up in a hurry, but thanks to the help of the rescuer, Zhao Yi seemed to have become quite familiar with Yan Chong, Meng Qi and others.
"Brother Su Xian, what do you think of this matter?" Wang Zai sent Meng Qi to the door and asked through a message.
Meng Qi frowned slightly: "Not up, not down."
Wang Zai understood immediately and nodded: "Brother Yu also found it strange. The assassination can either be done with the power of thunder, completed instantly with absolute strength, and run away, or it is better not to do it at all. Although the female assassin just now was powerful, she was just They are barely able to complete the task. Could it be that they are reluctant to work as assassins on location, fearing that they will be surrounded by the Mi family and the Bai family if they fail?"
"It's hard to make assumptions without knowing what's going on in the Divine Capital." Meng Qi had no clue.
Suddenly, he remembered something, turned around and said to Wang Zai: "By the way, I'm not in a hurry to leave. If you need help, please ask Brother Zijing for help."
