The beginning of the king guards the Great Wall

Chapter 28 No.20 Eight Palms: The Queen's Chessboard

Duhu Mansion Martial Arts Field.

Countless soldiers gathered here.

"What's the situation? Are Lord Jiang Ming and Lord Pei Qinhu going to compete?"

"I heard that Lord Jiang Ming had just advanced to Silver One, and Lord Pei Qinhu offered to have a sparring match with him."

"Ah? Gold competes with silver, isn't that bullying? What's more, Mr. Pei is still a hybrid demon, and he is better than ordinary humans in the first place!"

The soldiers murmured quietly.

They all know that Jiang Ming is very intelligent, but they are not optimistic about the force.

On the stage, Pei Qinhu grinned and looked at Jiang Ming: "Brother, I haven't had a good fight in a long time, don't let me down!"

In the Duhu Mansion, Pei Qinhu had sparred with almost everyone above the silver level.

Fighting with ordinary soldiers is boring, and he is too far behind Su Lie, who has no combat experience at all.

Always wanted to find an evenly matched opponent.

Not long ago, he saw with his own eyes that Jiang Ming killed a silver-ranked monster that broke into Guan City, and he became interested in it instantly, and insisted on pestering Jiang Ming to discuss.

Jiang Ming shied away but had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, I'll try my best."

Jiang Ming smiled and nodded.

Just when the two were about to start fighting, a soldier rushed over in a panic: "Master Jiang Ming, General Su Lie has something to do with you."

"Tch, at this time, brother, go first, I'll wait for you here."

Although Pei Qinhu looked unhappy, he still knew that he couldn't delay Su Lie's affairs.

"It's okay, don't delay, come on!"

Jiang Ming hooked his hand to indicate that Pei Qinhu could attack.

"Okay, I will try to defeat you with one move, without wasting your time."

Pei Qinhu said with a smile.

Jiang Ming is silver, but he is already gold, no matter how he thinks about it, he feels that he will win.

As for what Jiang Ming said about not delaying, Pei Qinhu's understanding was that he knew he couldn't catch his punch, so it would end soon.

"If that's the case, then I'll do my best!"

Pei Qinhu's eyes froze, and the tiger's eyes suddenly burst into light, and the blood of the demon seed in his body boiled.

The golden energy came out through the body, and condensed behind him into a phantom of a fierce and powerful tiger.

The moment the phantom appeared, Pei Qinhu's aura surged a lot.

A punch tainted with golden light seemed to ignite the surrounding air.

As soon as he makes a move, it is his strongest trick - the roar of the tiger and the wind!
The suffocating pressure spread, and the expressions of the surrounding soldiers changed drastically.

They have all seen Pei Qinhu's power with their own eyes. At the peak of silver, he can rely on his strong demon blood to compete with entry-level gold fighters.

Now that he has advanced to gold, the power of this punch has increased countless times compared to before.

This punch, not to mention Jiang Ming, who is silver one, even Su Lie, who is at the peak of gold, frowned when he saw this punch.

However, the next second.

Everyone was stunned.

I saw Jiang Ming making a knife with his hand, just swipe it casually.

boom!
The phantom of the tiger shattered in an instant, and Pei Qinhu was paralyzed as if he had been dumbfounded.

He stood there blankly, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.

"It seems that I am still slightly stronger than you."

Jiang Ming patted Pei Qinhu on the shoulder and said.

Then he passed through the deadly silent crowd and went straight to the General's Mansion.

Only then did Pei Qinhu realize that he had misunderstood what Jiang Ming meant.

"It turns out that when Big Brother said no delay, he meant that it would not take much time to defeat me!"

Pei Qinhu suddenly realized.

At this time, the surrounding soldiers also recovered from the shock.

Looking at Jiang Ming's back, his mouth grew big.

"You lie, you call this stronger?!"

. . .

General's House.

Besides Su Lie, there was another tough guy present.

He is tall and muscular.

It was the famous general of the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Yaojin!

"General Su Lie, I heard that an interesting young man has come to the Protectorate's Mansion. His name seems to be Jiang Ming? Where is he?"

Cheng Yaojin and Su Lie explained some things, and suddenly the conversation changed to mention Jiang Ming.

"Go back to my lord, Lie has sent someone to look for him, I believe he will be there in a while."

Su Lie said respectfully.

Cheng Yaojin is a famous founding general and the real confidant of the queen, even a frontier general like Su Lie and Hua Mulan would have to address him as your lord.

"Cheng Yaojin cares so much about Jiang Ming, could it be that the affairs of Supervisor Zhao have been exposed?"

Although Cheng Yaojin's tone was flat, as if he was chatting.

But Su Lie couldn't help feeling uneasy.

If Cheng Yaojin really came to punish Jiang Ming, he might not be able to stop him.

After all, Cheng Yaojin is a solid platinum powerhouse.

"General Su Lie, are you looking for me?"

At this time, a figure strode in.

It was Jiang Ming.

Glancing at the situation in the mansion, Jiang Ming was taken aback for a moment.

Cheng Yaojin?
Why is he here?

"Jiang Ming, let me introduce you, this is Master Cheng Yaojin from Chang'an, who is here to deliver orders for the Queen."

Su Lie hurriedly introduced to Jiang Ming.

"Jiang Ming, deputy general of the Great Wall Guards, see Mr. Cheng!"

Jiang Ming saluted respectfully.

"You are Jiang Ming? You defeated Bian Que?"

Cheng Yaojin glanced at Jiang Ming with a puzzled expression on his face.

Can silver one beat the peak of gold?

Is this kid really as miraculous as the queen said?

"Bian Que, what Bian Que?"

Su Lie touched his head with a confused expression.

Jiang Ming's expression changed drastically.

How did he know about my defeat of Bian Que?
Only Sheng should know about this matter!

"Scared, I didn't expect that I would know."

Looking at the shocked Jiang Ming, Cheng Yaojin laughed.

What he said next made Jiang Ming and Su Lie feel as if they were struck by lightning.

"Not only do I know Bian Que, I also know that you designed and killed Supervisor Zhao!"

Both Su Lie and Jiang Ming were dumbfounded.

He stood there in a daze, unable to say a word.

"But don't be afraid, I am here to reward you under the order of the queen."

Cheng Yaojin said with a smile, making Jiang Ming a little confused.

I killed the supervisor sent by the empress, and she still wants to reward me?
Am I sick or is she sick?
"Believe it or not, the queen actually knows what Supervisor Zhao did."

"The reason why he was sent to the border is to test the loyalty of you border guards, and to use your hands to get rid of him."

Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.

Jiang Ming was completely shocked.

He originally thought that Empress Wu Zetian made a mistake and chose Zhao as the supervisor, but only now did he know that she played such a good game of chess.

Your queen is still your queen, awesome!
"So we passed the test?"

Jiang Ming asked.

"That's right, the empress said, the frontier will be handed over to Su Lie and Hua Mulan in the future, she can rest assured."

"As for you kid, the empress is full of praise for you. Would you like to be an official by her side?"

Cheng Yaojin looked at Jiang Ming and said loudly.
