Chapter 297
Facing Gu Shijing's serious eyes, Xue Chang had no choice but to respond: "That's fine."

In the morning, before it was time, all 110 and nine martial artists (except for the unconscious Wu Xian) who participated in the martial arts contest in the palace square had all arrived. The generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty headed by King Zhennan took their seats on the tower one after another. They also arrived one after another.

After yesterday's annoying court meeting, Emperor Taixiang couldn't wait to issue an order: "Let's start."

So Ye San, Hui Wu, Master Jingxin, Xue Chang, Qiu Yunhan, Long Wei Chen Zhongyi, Lian Xuanying from Wuqin Villa, Si Jinyu from Excalibur Villa, Mu Lingzi from Taishan Pai, and Gu Shijing were the first members of the group. Go to the long wooden platform under the city tower and start drawing lots.

Su Mufan, who was holding a bamboo stick and a wooden barrel, glanced around. The one with the most relaxed expression was undoubtedly Ye San. Even Xue Chang, who was favored by everyone, was a little nervous, not to mention the others.From his point of view, this is normal. After all, if you are unlucky and get a match against Ye San, there is almost no possibility of winning. If you want to challenge their qualifications, you have to win a few more games.

"Senior Ye, please!" Su Mufan held the lottery in front of Ye San and said respectfully.

Ye San did not draw lots immediately, but glanced at him and asked, "Are you Jiangnan Yijian Su Mufan?"

"It's the junior."

"I heard that you have been taught by He Hongwei?"

"When I was young, I was fortunate to receive the careful guidance of Senior He." Su Mufan said frankly, not because He Hongwei was listed as a traitor by the court, so he was afraid to avoid him.

"I hope to have the opportunity to compete with you." Ye San looked at him and said seriously.

"It's a junior's honor to be favored by Senior Ye." Su Mufan replied with a smile.

Ye San nodded, and pulled out a wooden stick with the word "gold" engraved on it.

After the others drew lots, Su Mufan was obviously less polite.

What Xue Chang drew was a "fire" lottery. The three people in front didn't get "fire", and the five people behind didn't get "fire". Not good.

Sure enough, when Gu Shijing drew out the last wooden stick, Long Wei's voice sounded at the same time: "Goddess Palace Gu Shijing drew fire!"

She was really hit by her crow's mouth! ...Xue Chang murmured in his heart, feeling Gu Shijing's eyes looking at him, he also raised his eyes to look, and the four eyes met, and the other party showed a little relaxation.

Did she think I would release water? ...Xue Chang thought in his heart, and began to worry about it.

"The result of the lottery—" the Longwei official said loudly: "Yesan from the Iron-Blooded Changhemen vs. Chen Zhongyi from the Dragonguard, Huiwu from Shaolin Temple vs. Qiu Yunhan from Tangmen, Jingxin Shitai from the Emei School vs. Mu Lingzi from the Taishan School, Xue Chang from the Xiaoyao School Against Goddess Gong Gu Shijing, Mingqin Villa Lian Xuanying vs Excalibur Villa Si Jinyu, please come on stage and compete immediately!"

"Xue Lang is actually fighting Master Gu!" Luo Lanmeng couldn't help exclaiming after hearing the announcement from the Dragon Guard official below the tower.

"That's interesting." Emperor Taixiang smiled. In order not to annoy Wu Bei, Zen Master Wu Nu and other six people, he did not intervene in the top ten pairing competition without authorization, but the result of the lottery made him feel good. At this moment He asked Luo Lanmeng with great interest: "Sister Huang, do you want your Master Gu to win? Or do you want Xue Chang to win?"

Luo Lanmeng thought about it for a while, and answered cleverly: "Brother Emperor, this is not a question of whether I wish or not, but Master Gu is not Xue Lang's opponent in the first place. They have fought twice before, and Master Master lost both times. Well, the last match was just over ten days ago, so I don't think there will be any changes in this match."

"Oh, that's it." In fact, Emperor Taixiang knew a long time ago that he couldn't see a trace of panic on Luo Lanmeng's face. Fan Yanghou."

"Your Majesty." Cao Zhong said solemnly: "The reason why Longwei sent Chen Zhongyi to participate this time is to let the martial arts people know the strength of our Longwei, and secondly, to let Chen Zhongyi get some exercise, which will help his martial arts. As for the improvement, we will be able to do better for you, the emperor. As for becoming a national protector, it is not in our consideration at all, so the veteran thinks that Chen Zhongyi can fight against Fan Yanghou, which is the best exercise for him."

After hearing this, Emperor Taixiang couldn't help sighing: "In my opinion, you Longwei are the real guardians of the country's culture!"

While Emperor Taixiang was speaking, five pairs of martial artists had already stood on the prescribed wooden platforms.

Xue Chang looked at Gu Shijing who was standing opposite, his brain was running fast, thinking about how to make Gu Shijing lose unscathed, and at the same time make the onlookers not aware that he was cheating, so that they didn't even hear Long Wei standing aside Announcing the start of the contest.

At this time, he heard Gu Shijing say loudly: "I am not the opponent of Master Xue! I admit defeat!"

As soon as these words came out, Xue Chang was stunned for a moment, then he came back to his senses and said in a hurry: "Palace Master Gu, the Dragon Guard just emphasized that you can't fight passively", you should fight me anyway, or—"

"Save your strength and hit those guys over there." Gu Shijing glanced at the long wooden platform, turned around and walked down the stage.

Xue Chang was a little at a loss when Gu Shijing was so straightforward. He couldn't stop the other party from stepping down.

Not only was he at a loss, but even Longwei Yi, who was in charge of supervising the contest, didn't know what to do for a while, before running to report to the Longwei official in charge of the entire arena.

Xue Chang stood on the wooden platform, staring blankly at Gu Shijing in full attire carrying a long sword, walking gracefully to the rest area, ignoring other people's surprise and doubt, sitting alone on the wooden chair, closing her eyes and meditating.

The officials of Longwei received the report that due to Gu Shijing's special status, he dared not make decisions without authorization, so he had to ask Emperor Taixiang on the tower to make a ruling.

Before Emperor Taixiang could make a decision, Luo Lanmeng hurriedly interceded: "Brother Emperor, Master Gu... has a... straightforward personality, and lost to Xue Lang in the two fights, so she may feel... that there is no need to fight again." Compared."

"She thinks?! If everyone thinks like her, I don't need to hold this martial arts conference!" Emperor Taixiang snorted heavily.

Facing Emperor Taixiang's angry face, Luo Lanmeng still begged without fear: "Brother Emperor, my uncle—"

"Sister, don't talk about it!" Emperor Taixiang said in a deep voice: "This is the first time a martial arts conference is held, and we must set an example for the future, and no one can violate the rules!...Goddess Gong Gu Shijing passively competes, and punishing her will win one more victory." You can only get the qualification to challenge the six national defenders!"

When Luo Lanmeng heard this, she felt relieved, because based on her understanding of Gu Shijing, this kind of punishment was nothing to her at all, and Emperor Tai Xiang was merciful this time.

"Your Majesty, Xue Chang's martial arts competition..." Cao Zhong reminded from the side.

"Let's say he wins without a fight." Emperor Taixiang became interested again: "That's fine, let's arrange for him to challenge the six warriors who protect the country!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

When the other four contests had already started, Xue Chang was once again led by Longwei to the Changmutai. Zen Master Wubei held a lottery and said calmly to Xue Chang, "Master Xue, please draw lots."

Xue Chang glanced at the 6 lottery sticks in the lottery holder, and took out one casually.

The eyes of the six people on the long wooden platform were all focused immediately.

Xue Chang took a look at the wooden stick, it was engraved: Dugu Changhui.

He handed the wooden sign to the Longwei official on the side, and at the same time looked at Dugu Changhui on the side.

"It seems that the opponent that Master Xue has drawn is me." Dugu Changhui stood up immediately, and her movements were quite straightforward.

"Really, can we negotiate and give up the opportunity of this fight to the poor monk?" Zen Master Wu Nu said.

The Longwei officials next to him did not dissuade them, and seemed to be waiting for the two of them to discuss and reach a conclusion. After all, the identity of the guardian of the country is completely different from that of ordinary martial arts people.

"I'm sorry, I've been looking forward to the fight with Master Xue for a long time. It's really God's arrangement to meet on such an important occasion." Dugu Changhui directly refused.

Zen Master Wunu couldn't say anything more.

Only then did the Longwei official loudly announce: "Xiaoyao sent Xue Chang to challenge the real Dugu!"

There was commotion in the rest area.

"This master Xue has drawn a good lottery!" Niu Dingtian, the owner of Funiuzhai village, said with a smile: "Such an important martial arts competition has become a civil war in Bashu martial arts. I think Dugu Master will definitely raise his hand in order to help the younger generation." of."

"Nonsense!" Guo Huaishou immediately retorted loudly: "Reverend Dugu has a strong temperament, and he never holds back his hands when fighting with others. What's more, before the competition begins, you make wild guesses. I don't know what the purpose is to slander Master Dugu like this!"

Niu Dingtian was also quick-mouthed for a while, and the words came out of his mouth.I regretted it a little, for fear that Dugu Changhui would find out about it and trouble me later, so I just kept silent and didn't respond.

Yang Ang, the Patriarch of the Yang Family in Luonan, retorted: "Just now, Gu Shijing, the owner of the Goddess Palace of Bashu Martial Arts, conceded defeat before the fight started, and let Master Xue easily qualify for the promotion. Isn't this cheating! Based on this, can we There should be no doubt!"

Guo Huaishou was momentarily at a loss for words.

"The previous contest between Palace Master Gu and Master Xue has been decided by the emperor. If you are not satisfied, you can appeal to the emperor again." Lu Changcai said with a serious expression: "But you are here to slander our Qingcheng faction without evidence. Qingyu, if there is a chance in the future, Pindao will definitely seek justice!"

"Lu Daochang is right." Li Changle, the leader of the Danshan Clan, shouted loudly: "Ge Laozi, you not only humiliated the Qingcheng faction, but also slandered our entire Bashu Wulin. Are you treating our Bashu Wulin as empty? Today, if you If you don't apologize, it won't work!"

"That's right, apologize quickly!" Guo Huaishou shouted immediately.Others such as Jiang Shenghuo, Feng Youleng and others followed suit.

On this side, although the members of Luoyang Five Families and Niu Dingtian in the Gyeonggi martial arts forest are not to be outdone, others such as Hua Qingjin and Sui Haixin, the leader of the Yellow River Shui Gang, did not blend in, and their momentum has dropped a lot.
