The great hero, from nine to five

After two days.

At the place where Zuo Yanhan and Xuanwu Xingjun fought that day, people from the Jianghu in Shengjin had already gathered.

The dozen or so disciples of the Duoji Gate expressionlessly greeted a few people from the rivers and lakes who came to watch the excitement, and the first disciple who was promoted to "Great Elder" solemnly saluted all the distinguished guests who passed by.

At the opposite gate, not many people from the Jianghu came to join in the fun.

For one thing, the "friends" of Duijimen in the arena are very limited, because of the style of Duijimen, although they have a good reputation in the arena, more people regard them as "lunatics", except for Xuanjilou After congratulating several masters in Osumi, not many people from the rivers and lakes were willing to come.

Secondly... not far from the same location, the subordinates of the Second Prince are preparing for the awarding ceremony of the Dragon Token.Compared to the cold, simple, and not much decorated Anti-pole Gate, the Second Prince's place has a lot of decorations, and it is a gift for all the guests attending the meeting.Compared with only one Xun Wu's anti-pole gate, the second prince's side is the one and only awarded the Dragon Token!Doesn't this look much better than the succession of the head of the extreme sect?

On the second prince's side, a group of people from the rivers and lakes came and went, Ji Baobao crouched in a dark place, chatting with Bai Yupan.

After a few days of contact, Ji Baobao got to know Bai Yupan a little bit, and Bai Yupan saw that Ji Baobao was hardworking and did all the things he could do beautifully, so he didn't make things difficult for him.

Yesterday, after finishing everything, Ji Baobao went out to look for Ji Chou by himself, and finally contacted Ji Chou, but he didn't let Ji Chou come out immediately, because at this point in time, the believers of the Devil's Cult were the most powerful. Acting rashly is prone to accidents, so I left a secret signal so that Ji Chou can take the opportunity to escape when the war breaks out.

After a night's rest, Baby Ji came to the venue, calmed down, and asked Bai Yupan about what to do next.

Although Bai Yupan might not be able to reply, it was better than being bored.

"Brother Yupan, do you think that old turtle will come today?"

Bai Yupan scanned the people around, observed their movements, shook his head, and said, "I don't know."

"that's true--"

Ji Baobao had some expectation and some fear in his heart, but he also understood that no matter how well prepared this side was, it all depended on whether the Xuanwu Xingjun wanted to come or not.

If Xuanwu Xingjun is completely intimidated, even if he doesn't come out, he won't have the chance to use the life-reducing method.

"And..." Bai Yupan started, hesitated for a moment, shook his head again, and did not continue.

This kind of half-talking method is definitely not Bai Yupan's intentional imitation of the princess. He is a simple and direct person, so he can say whatever he wants.

However, even though Bai Yupan didn't say it directly, Ji Baobao could still guess one or two.

Because at the beginning of Bai Yupan, it was obviously a suspicion that even if Xuanwu Xingjun came, he might hide his existence, or disguise himself in other ways, or dress up as an ordinary Jianghu person.It is entirely possible, opportunistic, and motivated for him to snatch the Scarlet Flame Arm suddenly, and then leave directly, or kill a few people at will before leaving.

This is very normal and a reasonable suspicion, because Xuanwu Xingjun is a person who would do such a thing.

Whether things will go according to Xun Wu's plan, Xun Wu himself is not fully sure. At most, he just thinks this is an opportunity, an opportunity to attract Xuanwu Xingjun.

And whether Xuanwu Xingjun will come, and whether he will pretend to be, is also a matter of uncertainty.

In fact.

Xuanwu is here.

Moreover, he really pretended to be an ordinary river and lake person.

Xuanwu Xingjun's appearance is quite strange, but if he simply conceals some characteristics, dyes his beard and hair gray, and hides in a corner, he will not be discovered so quickly.

Contrary to the normal way of thinking, he didn't go to Xun Wu's side to grab the Red Flame Arm directly, because he still has doubts in his heart until now, and he is still worried, worried that there are hundreds of knives and axes hidden near Xun Wu's side hand, once he approached rashly, he might be trapped by this group of knives and axes.

Therefore, the first thing he came to was this place instead. He had to actually go to the scene to see if the second prince really came here because of the conflict with Xun Wu. here.

Because he doesn't completely trust the ninjas under him, and he doesn't have absolute confidence in them.

After arriving at the scene, he personally observed the attitudes and words of the people around him, and he can roughly confirm that at least the conflict between Xun Wu and the second prince is not groundless, but real.

However, he was not in a hurry to leave, but continued to wait, wanting to wait a little longer.

At this moment, he heard a sigh, he turned his head and saw a very ordinary man...

Xuanwu Xingjun narrowed his eyes slightly.

Dress normally?

Do not--

wrong.

Although it seems to be wearing very ordinary Jianghu people's clothes, the clothes on this person's body are not things that can be obtained and made by ordinary tailors, whether it is materials or workmanship. There are many unobvious gold threads in them, which is clearly A man from a wealthy family!

On the other side, the middle-aged Jiang Hu also saw the person looking at him, and the two looked at each other, each feeling a little flustered.

But then, when they found out that the other party didn't recognize them, they both breathed a sigh of relief.But at this time, the astonishing Xuanwu Xingjun with quicker reactions, sharper senses, and strong skills immediately noticed that several people were silently observing him in several nearby places, but this was obviously not serious. After leaving him, there was no killing intent or hostility, more, it should be examining him, secretly protecting the middle-aged man in front of him.

A big family from nowhere got involved in such matters.

However, it happened to happen that Mr. Xuanwu Xing saw that this person was either rich or noble, and guessed that he might know more about the inside story, so he went up to say hello and started talking.

On the other side, hiding his identity and mingling in the crowd, the second prince, who was listening to the words of the people around him, saw this ordinary old man coming up. Out of curiosity and depression in his heart, the second prince chatted with this person.

The second prince's current state of mind can't be said to be stable and positive, it can only be said that he is a bit of a gamble while nervous.

After confronting Xun Wu last time, he thought for a long time, carefully considered his performance during this period, and finally came to a deep and realistic judgment - at least before he really succeeded to the throne, no matter how unhappy he was, no matter how unhappy he was, You can't act indiscriminately.

Just like what Xun Wu said, the current Emperor Shengwu is still here.

Therefore, no matter what ambitions or ideas he has, he can't mess around.

At least... until all the dust settles.

He had a very happy conversation with the old man, and soon began to talk about some in-depth things, and couldn't help but began to tell the other party about his situation.

The old man in the family has always held power, and he has never been able to inherit the family business. Some caravan elites in the family still don’t respect him. The second prince is not a fool after all. It is impossible to tell an old man with all his heart As the second prince himself, he simply talked about a similar scene.

Hearing his description, Xuanwu Xingjun didn't think much at first. To be honest, he lived such a big life and wandered around the Central Plains and Yingzhou. He is confident that he is a top ten master in the world. scene.

Brothers fight against each other, father and son kill each other, for the sake of profit and power, countless people in this world have experienced it, but some have big family fortunes, and some have small family fortunes.

It's just that as he chatted, he felt more and more that this young man—well, not bad.

This is Xuanwu Xingjun's true thoughts.

He seldom commented on people, and rarely commented on others, but if he commented on others, he must be sincere.

Just like Xiao Xuanwu is dead, but Xiao Xuanwu is still what he thinks, one of the best young people of the new generation of Sisu Sect, just like he praised Xun Wu, even as long as Xun Wu is willing to join the Sisu Sect, he can forget the past He believes that these "talents" are worthy of recognition and praise.

Because there are too many ordinary and stupid people in this world, and it is of no use to him to just manipulate the lives of a group of ordinary people.

And this person in front of him is elegant in conversation and logical, and he seems to have a great family and business, but he must be in his 40s, which means that he has a father who is at least [-] years old above him. It is indeed a great pressure for a middle-aged careerist who is eager for change and eager to "get married and start a career".

Moreover, from what he said, several of his father's subordinates are also very cunning and capable people, and they can protect and expand his family business casually without anyone commanding them—according to Xuanwu Xingjun estimated that this rich businessman should also be worried that these people would take his property, so he panicked even more.

He looked the man up and down.

Although he is over 40 years old, his body is not out of shape or fat, and the initial observation of his body is considered tough. I don't know what level of internal energy is, but at most he is a first-class master, or even a first-class parallel importer.

Such a person has no sense of security, has a high desire for power, and at the same time harbors malicious intent...

Thinking of this, Xuanwu Xingjun suddenly changed the subject, and said to the second prince: "Little brother, have you considered practicing martial arts?"

"Practicing martial arts?" The second prince was taken aback when he heard this.

Because he has always followed the prince to learn, so he has dabbled in both literature and martial arts—but this "martial strategy" refers to the art of war. In terms of martial arts, he is definitely not an opponent of the other brothers, not to mention the genius of the eighth prince. Even compared with his third brother, he is much worse. After so many years of training, he is only a second-rate internal energy. In a fight, he might not be able to beat his younger sister Ye Zhenji. She is a real "vegetable dog".

And his father, Emperor Shengwu Ye Chengtian, is probably the strongest master of the Ye family other than the ancestors for hundreds of years.

He felt there was something to it.

Practicing martial arts may not be meaningful for ruling a country, but for Emperor Shengwu, it must be a very big plus.

only...

What about those martial arts in the palace?

No matter how well he practices, that's it!

Seeing his slightly interested but troubled expression, Xuanwu Xingjun chuckled, and slowly took out a yellowed book from his arms.

The second prince was taken aback for a moment, and took the hand, only to see these words written on the book——

Tianshu rules the world!

The second prince didn't know, so he reached out to take it, flipped through it, and saw densely packed characters and some matching patterns at a glance.

Although he doesn't practice martial arts very much, after all, he has seen a large number of miraculous and magical arts recorded in the imperial treasury. He can tell at a glance that this martial art is not simple. What's more frightening is that this martial art is not just a The mental method of cultivating internal strength has many strange ideas as a "superior"——

this, this-

He flipped through it quickly, the more he read it, the more frightened he became, and the more he read it, the more satisfied he became.

He met an expert!

He hurriedly looked up, only to find that the old man had disappeared at some point. He glanced sideways at the guard and found nothing abnormal. Then he woke up. up!

pity--

such a pity!

It would be great if he could let such an expert join him! ?

"Master—Master—" At this moment, a man in scribe's attire hurried over with small steps.

Seeing Liu Dong coming, the second prince quickly put away the book, carefully hid it close to his body, with his hands behind his back, and nodded his head majestically.

Liu Dong came to his side, lowered his voice, and said to the second prince: "Your Highness, General Man said that now is the best time. The monsters of the Demon Cult are most vulnerable at this time. He can't bear it anymore and is about to attack." ——And this is the time for us to perform.”

"Okay." The second prince nodded and followed Liu Dong to leave.

Now, he is going to announce the ownership of the dragon token.

And at this time, Xun Wu also stopped communicating with the guests, stood on the river bank, and on a simple small platform, bowed to the sky, then poured a pot of wine out, and faced the sky again Bye.

Afterwards, he turned around and bowed to all the disciples of the Duiji sect, and the disciples of the Duiji sect bowed to each other and shouted in unison: "Meet the new master!"

At the same time, Fang Xian, Zhao Wumian and several Xun Wu's friends who were nearby also responded loudly: "Congratulations to the new head!"

The corner of Xun Wu's mouth curled up slightly, barely showing a smile, thanked everyone, and then slowly took the gauntlet from the elder's hand!

at this time!

Crisis strikes!

Alarm bells rang in Xun Wu's heart, and the vigilance of the wild cat was aroused in an instant, and he narrowly dodged a white sword aura that shot across.

And the moment he saw this sword energy, the eldest disciple pressed a mechanism at hand almost like a conditioned reflex, and in an instant, dozens of signal flares were launched into the air at the same time, making it impossible to stop the visitors no matter what!

"Ha ha!"

A huge black shadow looms from the sky like a dark cloud!

"Xun Wu, you really are prepared!"

Xun Wu looked at him, and a golden light flashed in his eyes. Without saying a word, he waved his hands and directed everyone to act immediately.

Xuanwu Xingjun is on the side of the second prince, and he has already confirmed the authenticity, and he has observed that there are not many soldiers of Sheng Jin who are hiding around!

The next moment, he appeared in front of Xun Wu almost as if he had teleported, and slapped Xun Wu with his palm. Xun Wu greeted him with a fist without flinching.

bang——

Xuanwu Xingjun remained motionless, while Xun Wu fell backwards, almost falling off the makeshift platform.

However, Xuanwu Xingjun couldn't help frowning after such meritorious deeds.

"Heh—" Xun Wu's energy and blood surged, but he was not injured. He only felt a little numbness in his right hand.After standing still, he then showed a rather ferocious smile, stared at Xuanwu Xingjun with shining golden eyes and said, "Sure enough, you have become weaker."

Xuanwu Xingjun darkened his face and responded coldly: "Killing you is enough."

Xun Wu smiled even wider, and then without hesitation, he took the initiative to attack, and went towards the amazing man whose strength was far stronger than him——

Fist!
