Chapter 938: The End of the Song
Chapter 938: The End of the Song
The competition between Qi Yan and Zhong Yue happened suddenly and ended quickly.
This battle did not cause much waves in the hearts of people living in the two cities of Yumen and Longmen.
Life goes on, and not everyone can understand this competition.
Most people just have something to talk about after dinner, and they drink a little wine and shout meaningless words like "That battle was so fucking cool."
But there are also some people who are not in a very good mood, or even a little bad.
"Damn it, I was obviously the one who came first!"
Huai Tianpei stood at the exit checkpoint south of Yumen City. He was still gritting his teeth until he left, and his whole body was flushed as if his wife had been robbed.
Lao Li and Wu You were checking their gear. When they heard Huai Tianpei's muttering, Lao Li couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"Although everything should be based on first come first served, but you hurt yourself so badly that you can't compete with the Grandmaster, and you're still angry."
"I know it's not Qi's fault, but I... hate it!" Huai Tianpei's temper is still so stubborn that it's a headache.
At this moment, he thought of the live broadcast of the sparring match he watched in the clinic. Watching every punch that Zhong Yue threw on the screen, but the opponent was not him, he still felt a sense of frustration accumulating in his heart, and he couldn't feel relieved unless he expressed it.
Lao Li knew that he couldn't persuade this guy, so he was too lazy to do it. He turned his head and looked at Lin Yuxia, who had already reached a travel agreement with the Chamber of Commerce convoy and was walking towards the three of them.
"Ms. Lin, I'm going to rely on you to take care of us this time when we go to Rhodes Island." Lao Li said politely.
"I dare not. It is an honor for Rhodes Island that you three can join us."
Lin Yuxia's words were not completely polite. She had seen Huai Tianpei's fighting ability with her own eyes. Although Lao Li was always possessed during his best times, ordinary people were not worthy of the giant beast's attention. Obviously, there was an intriguing story behind Lao Li.
As for Wu You... Although I am not familiar with Lin Yuxia, she must have something extraordinary to be chosen by Qi Yan.
Lao Li smiled and asked curiously:
"Speaking of which, Miss Lin didn't plan to stay in Longmen for a longer period of time. Instead, she was eager to return to Rhodes Island after just two days of rest. Is there something urgent?"
Lin Yuxia glanced at Lao Li.
She could see that this smart man had more or less guessed that this land might be going through some changes, but unfortunately, even she did not specifically ask Qi Yan for the details.
For some things, not knowing is actually a kind of happiness.
"My father is not at Longmen. I heard from his subordinates that he is busy investigating something outside." Lin Yuxia said evasively, "So after I simply confirmed that everything is normal at Longmen, I still feel that Rhodes Island needs me more at the moment."
As they were talking, they noticed a familiar figure approaching.
"Grandmaster."
Except Huai Tianpei, the other three were the first to greet him.
"Hello, everyone." Zhongyue's nose was still a little red, but his expression was still gentle. "I heard that you were leaving, so I came to see you off. I also have something I want to pass on to you."
"Are you finally willing to fight with me?" Huai Tianpei said excitedly.
Zhongyue couldn't help but laugh, and waved his hand:
"You misunderstood, but what I gave you this time is indeed related to our future competition."
As he spoke, he took off the sword case from his back and handed it to Huai Tianpei.
Lao Li and the other two immediately guessed what was in the sword box and were all a little surprised.
“After consultation between me, the Grand Master and others, we decided to keep this sword in Rhodes Island, but for some reasons, it is not convenient for me to carry it with me on my next trip to the Great Yan Mountains and Rivers.
So I can only ask you to pass it on, and it can also be regarded as a token of my future exchanges with Mr. Huai."
Huai Tianpei held the sword box in his hand. Compared to the sword inside, he was more concerned about the sparring that Chongyue mentioned.
But Lao Li and the other two couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Seeing the person's mood, Zhongyue smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry too much about it. Just don't use it as a firewood stick. Everything else is up to you."
"I dare not, I dare not." Lao Li waved his hands repeatedly.
"Master, don't worry, we have special fire sticks." Wu You smiled and took out a wooden stick from his bag.
The sights of several gentlemen present, including Zhongyue, seemed to be instantly locked by a strong force. They stared at the wooden stick with amazement written all over their faces.
As the only girl, Lin Yuxia was at a loss and almost suspected that she was the Li Boli.
……
……
The northern exit checkpoint of Yumen City.
Compared to the bustling south of the city, this direction faces Ursus, so almost no one would choose to leave the city from here.
But this also allows the Taifu, who doesn't want to be too high-profile, to have some peace and quiet.
He was accompanied by only ten imperial guards. With his hands behind his back, he nodded to Zuo Xuanliao and Wei Yanwu who came to see him off and said:
"Go back, and don't forget the mission I gave you."
"Yes."
Zuo Xuanliao and Wei Yanwu were no longer in the mood to joke.
Before leaving last night, the Grand Tutor called the two of them over separately and disclosed Qi Yan's intelligence. At this moment, the two of them already understood how heavy the responsibility the Grand Tutor was shouldering on this trip.
To exaggerate a little, the Taifu's trip to establish diplomatic relations with Ursus even concerns the life and death of this land.
"General Zuo, the imperial guards I left for you are for you to command, not for you to admire." Even though the Grand Tutor told the two to go back, he couldn't help but nag a few words, "You are a general, you don't need to consider the intrigues in the court.
As for Duke Wei, I am actually more worried about you than General Zuo."
"Don't worry, Grand Master." Wei Yanwu said calmly, "Qi Yan's evaluation is correct. I am a bastard who is best at doing bastard things. I know exactly what role I should play in this trip to attend the World Summit."
"I'm just afraid that you can't control it." The tutor sighed.
Wei Yanwu didn't understand the Grand Tutor's worries. "Yan Country is one of the core countries in this land. I am representing Yan Country on this trip. In addition, I am traveling with Qi Yan. Isn't that enough?"
The Master said solemnly: "The Lateran Pope is by no means a mediocre person. On the contrary, beneath his seemingly amiable appearance, he hides an astonishing ambition.
I can assert that the Pope will definitely make some unexpected decisions at the Lateran Summit this time, so you should be mentally prepared... Remember, Yan Country is one of the core circle countries, and our position is always for this land!"
"I understand."
Seeing that Wei Yanwu had stopped being so rude, the Grand Tutor nodded. He took one last look at the towering walls of Yumen before turning around and embarking on his own journey without any reluctance.
Wei Yanwu and Zuo Xuanliao stood quietly where they were until the Grand Tutor's convoy was completely lost in the desert sand. Then they both sighed at the same time.
"I will take Yumen to Dahuang City as quickly as possible and ask the old Taoist priest to come out of the mountain." Zuo Xuanliao spoke like a scumbag, "You should also hurry up and arrange for Longmen to leave Yumen."
"It has been arranged long ago. I will leave even if you don't say it."
Wei Yanwu curled his lips and said, "I don't want to have anything to do with that ghost thing under the Great Desert City... I am now planning to let Longmen go abroad."
Zuo Xuanliao: ???
"Don't be nervous, we're just taking a walk around the lawless area along the Yan Country border."
Wei Yanwu shrugged and pretended to be relaxed, "After Yumen leaves, we have to let those restless guys see the new pressure. It will also help to divert some attention from the Grand Master's trip."
"How can you ensure that the pressure is not put on Longmen itself?" Zuo Xuanliao asked worriedly.
"Because I have discussed with Nian Xiling and the other two, these three girls will stay in Longmen for the time being." Wei Yanwu showed a bright smile, "Plus, the more chaotic the area, the easier it will be for the shadow guards to act.
It’s time to find something for those old guys to do, otherwise they’ll be idle for too long and come looking for fun on my head!”
