Nothing is to blame

Thirty-six days later, a grand ceremony was held at the entrance of the Xishan Hall of Yu Que's department today. Carts of wine and meat were transported continuously with more than a hundred horse-drawn carts and ox carts, and the smell of wine spread for several miles.

The reason for the celebration was to celebrate Beiyue, the former master of the Sixteenth Hall, being promoted to the Rongyuan Realm and becoming the seventh head of the Yu Que Department.

The previous trip was also announced.

It is said that Beiyue was ordered to go deep into the Pingliang Department to spy information, but ran into the interception of Yuchan, the fourth head of the Pingliang Department, who was waiting for work.After Beiyue fought fiercely with him, she finally retreated completely.

It should be noted that although Yuchan is only ranked fourth in the Pingliang Division, she is undoubtedly among the top three due to her profound skills. Beiyue was able to draw with her as soon as she broke through, which can be said to have greatly exceeded expectations.

That Yuchan only said that Beiyue must die, so she leaked Beiyue's so-called secret trip, but in fact the news had already been leaked!

And those who knew about the "test" before Beiyue's promotion were only a handful of people in Yu Que's department.

The two sides confirmed that it was immediately known that the master of the Thirteenth Hall, Yu Zhou, had done this.

So Beiyue went directly to Xie Liang, wanting to get an explanation.

Now the head of Yu Zhou hanging outside the gate of the camp is an confession!

This story was told by Xie Liang's intention, but it has a first entry into the real facts.Generally speaking, it is actually more conducive to Beiyue's establishment of prestige.From this point of view, Xie Liang doesn't mind carrying the sedan chair for Bei Yue once he proves that Bei Yue is someone worthy of reliance.

in the main hall.

The hall is divided into upper and lower steps.There are seven seats in the upper ranks, and they are the seven heads of the Yu Que Department.There are a total of forty-two seats in the lower ranks, which are the hall masters, as well as the Yangyuanjing monks whose merits are similar to the hall masters but have other duties.

In terms of cultivation, it is the most distinct second level of Rongyuan and Yangyuan, without exception.

Forty-two seats in the lower class, the amount of food on the table in front of each person is not too much, no more than three or four plates per person; but the surface of these "plates" is almost the size of a basin, and each plate is filled with at least five catties. The types of meat in front of each person are also slightly different, generally including pork, beef, mutton, roe, venison, and bear paws.

As for the seven members of the upper class, each of them has nine big dishes.

In addition, there are endless wines to drink.

This is not just the demeanor of people in the green forest "drinking in big bowls and eating meat in large pieces". Half strange.

In the hall, the atmosphere is warm, and there are staggered cups of wine.

Linghu Qubing's food is the most refined.Apart from eating and drinking, he seems to be thinking.

Among the seven people in the upper ranks, Xie Lianggao was in the middle seat, and the rest had three seats on each side.Linghu Qubing was at the bottom on the right, opposite to three seats lined up.

Counting from top to bottom, the first one is about forty years old, wearing a purple brocade robe, with a chain made of twenty-four iron knots hanging around his neck. It's just the two lumps of fat falling slightly between the cheeks, but it ruthlessly destroys this possible handsomeness.

The second was a little younger, about thirty-five or sixteen.This person has a clear face, but the clothes that were originally white were stained with dust and turned into a gray robe, only a few places such as the shoulders and waist can see his true color.Its eyes seem to be lifeless, like glass, and the reflection can be vaguely seen.

The third person has black hair, red face, snub nose, and short beard. He is a standard and no longer standard appearance of a native of the dark place.But ordinary to the extreme is also a kind of unusual, after meeting face to face, it is easier to teach people to look more.

In terms of rank, this one happened to be directly opposite to Linghu Qubing.

The one in the purple robe is named Tanxiao; the one with dull eyes is named Qi Yu; the one sitting directly opposite Linghu Qubing is named Ji Fengyu.These three people are the second, fourth, and sixth heads of the Yu Que Department.

The other two, sitting on top of Linghu Qubing, looked like one old and one young, they were the third master Shoubai and the fifth master Gu Yi.

At this time, during the banquet, the second leader was chatting and laughing, as expected, with a smile on his face, but he frequently persuaded Linghu Qubing to drink and toasted many times, but he didn't talk much, it was nothing more than "please" and "come" Class, cherish words like gold.

The smile of talking and laughing is kind at first glance, but after careful consideration, it is not difficult to see that it is a kind of impeccable and polite smile, which always reveals a kind of reservedness.

What's more subtle is that Linghu Qubing can't feel this kind of restraint alone, but everyone at the banquet can feel it.

In other words, it's not that he can't talk and laugh on the surface, but that he does it on purpose.

That being the case, Linghu Qubing didn't talk too much, he just drank it with a smile; at most, he nodded slightly, and didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

After a quarter of an hour like this, Tan Xiao shrugged unnaturally and shook his head lightly, as if trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

At this moment, Ji Fengyu, who was sitting directly opposite Linghu Qubing, laughed loudly, and said loudly: "Hey! Now that Brother Beiyue is in the position of leader, Ji is no longer the old man. Excellent Excellent. Just for this, Ji will also offer three cups to my virtuous brother."

Linghu Qubing nodded and said, "Okay."

He also didn't put much effort into it, he raised his wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

Ji Feng's face froze slightly, and he also drank a cup.

What Ji Fengyu said just now seems to be just a joke; but whether there is any other meaning in it, it depends on each person's interpretation.However, Linghu Qubing responded so coldly, it seemed that he really seemed to have some "meaning".

After drinking this cup, Qi Yu, the fourth head of the family with dull eyes and a gray robe, suddenly said: "I have heard for a long time that Yuchan of the Pingliang Department is ranked fourth, but its combat power is enough to rank among the top three in the Pingliang Department." Row. Now that it has been verified by Brother Beiyue, I'm afraid it may not be true."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the palace masters below the steps froze.

If Tanxiao and Ji Fengyu's attitudes were just a little ambiguous, then the meaning behind Qi Yu's words was very clear.

People who practice the way of blood and qi, once they fight with others, get involved in qi, and confirm with spells, they will naturally establish a kind of connection in the dark, learn from each other's strengths and make up for their weaknesses, and integrate positive and negative.Therefore, the more combat experience one has, the stronger one's own combat power will be, and the improvement will be huge; in each realm, there is a huge gap between those who have just broken through and those with rich combat experience.

A few days ago, the leaders had seen Linghu Qubing demonstrate his skills, and he had a fierce fight with Yuchan, which proved to be true.

If not, Qi Yu would still have several question marks in his heart about the fact that Beiyue escaped from Yuchan's hands without any injuries, even if it was verified by multiple sources of information.

Linghu Qubing was indifferent, as if he had never heard Qi Yu's words, nor did he intend to respond.

On the other hand, Gu Yi, the five masters sitting on top of him, seemed to be a kind person, and immediately took over the conversation: "Yu Chan's reputation does not come from false reputation, but from fighting in the sea again and again. Yes. Among other things, he attacked the Qingluo Chamber of Commerce in Baoheng Kingdom the year before last, and he fought the three Rongyuanjing guards head-on and retreated, but he can't do it. In my Yu Que department, except for the boss who can win If he has one head, I'm afraid that you and I will be inferior."

Qi Yu snorted coldly, and immediately retorted: "Perhaps Yuchan is not yet in full victory, so I don't know."

A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Linghu Qubing's mouth.

The ultimate goal of his trip is to watch hundreds of people compete and understand the reasons for fate, not just to observe the hundred people who have obtained the fate.

Among the hundreds of people left behind by Xi Lerong's legacy, in terms of the initial state, none of them were ordinary people, nor was there a single person above the realm of fixed yuan, all of them were in the two realms of nourishing yuan and integrating yuan in the local practice method.

And these two realms are precisely the main strengths of cultivators in this world.

Then the question arises—why are these hundreds of people and not others?With this question in mind, compared with other practitioners of the same realm, it is naturally a way to understand their xinxing aspirations, emotions and desires, and dialectical pros and cons.

He has no interest in gang intrigue.

In Yu Que's department, Xie Liang, "one of the hundred people", is of course his main object of observation, but Tan Xiao, Qi Yu, Ji Fengyu and others are also the same.Through the way of judging people's hearts, look at the difference between the two and Xie Liang, as well as the original owner "Bei Yue", Yu Chan and others.

At today's banquet, he had a deeper grasp of the temperament, intelligence and talent of Tan Xiao, Qi Yu, Ji Fengyu and others in the headquarters.

A quarter of an hour later, Xie Liang suddenly coughed lightly.

In the hall, it immediately became silent.

Although Xie Liang has no sense of existence here since the banquet, it seems that he is just eating and drinking alone, but once he makes a slight movement, he can immediately affect the hearts of everyone here.

The silence lasted for a full twenty breaths. After Xie Liang coughed all over, he seemed to think carefully before he said: "After the banquet, each of you should clean up. Tonight at midnight, take your seat among the twelve battleships. The three classes of sailors and warriors in the ship are already in place."

Talking and laughing, he said in amazement: "What?"

Xie Liang said calmly: "Leaving tonight, we are going downstream again. With the speed of your soldiers, you can cross the outposts of the seven islands in one day. The next whereabouts will be difficult to detect."

Ji Fengyu swallowed whether it was wine or saliva, then opened his eyes wide and said, "Boss...where are you going?"

Xie Liang met his eyes and said, "Of course it's the chief rudder of the Pingliang Department."

"This campaign should be a successful battle, and the Pingliang Department will be completely wiped out."

Tanxiao, Shoubai, Qi Yu, Gu Yi, Ji Fengyu, the five leaders, Shoubai and Gu Yi looked indifferent, and they didn't seem to be surprised; but the three of Tanxiao exchanged eyes for a while, and then suddenly realized-the so-called congratulations The banquet is clearly a cover!
According to the consistent system of the Yu Que Department, as the advancing stronghold of the Yu Que Department, Xie Liang, Shou Bai, and Guy Yi, the chief rudders, have always been in charge; islands.

This is also the reason why Tan Xiao, Qi Yu, Ji Fengyu and others are slightly dissatisfied with "Beiyue" - there is one more master, and it is enough to tell each other with a talisman; , Participate in what Laoshizi celebration ceremony?
Only then did I realize that everything was planned by Xie Liang.

Celebrating is false, but gathering troops is true.

The light in Linghu Qubing's eyes flickered.

There is only one such person in the Pingliang Department, and that is Yuchan, the Sidangjia.This time, Yuchan and Xie Liang must decide whether to win or lose.This time, however, he could observe the whole process of the fight between the two "destined people" from beginning to end, without missing a single thing.
