Monarch of Evernight: Twenty-Seven Duels
bsp;Ji Yuanjia and Qianye turned around and saw several young people walking up the stairs.
The one at the front was a young man in blue. His sapphire blue samurai uniform was a little exaggeratedly gorgeous. It was he who made the mockery just now. Among the people who appeared one after another, Qianye also saw the young man who was knocked unconscious by his punch.
This group of young people, both male and female, surrounded a cold and proud girl like stars holding the moon. She wore a dark purple dress with a very unique hem, shaped like a triangle, with layers on top of each other, like an inverted double lily. Her face was very beautiful, but the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were filled with an indifference that would make people feel distant.
Ji Yuanjia frowned, lowered his voice, and quickly said to Qianye: "Be careful, the woman in the middle is named Ye Mulan, and she is the fiancée of Song Zining, the seventh son of the Song family."
Qianye's expression became a little strange: "Song Zining? Which Song family?"
Ji Yuanjia’s attention was all on the person coming, and he didn’t notice anything wrong with Qianye’s expression. He only said: “Of course it’s the Song family, one of the four great clans!”
At this time, the aristocratic young men and women had already walked to the table and stopped seemingly casually. However, the direction they were taking blocked all the way for the two of them. Qianye didn't like being stepped on by so many people at a safe distance, and frowned visibly.
The young man in blue glanced at the dishes on the table and showed a sarcastic smile, "Hey! How come a commoner from a poor family can come here to eat! It turns out he only orders the cheapest food! Brother Mu Hai, the price of a can of tea is more than that, right?"
" Even with the cheapest dish, this table is more than Commander Ji's monthly salary, right? From this point of view, either Commander Ji is a little greedy, or the bounty Captain Qian received is generous enough. , Miss Qiqi must be very comfortable being served recently!”
Qianye’s face suddenly darkened.
And Ji Yuanjia had already stood up and shouted coldly: "You are slandering the active officers of the empire. Please provide evidence, otherwise come with me and go to the military supervision team to make it clear!" He After a pause, his face became even colder, "Also, whoever dares to slander Miss Qiqi again, you should weigh the consequences yourself, and I will convey your words to Miss Qiqi word for word."
The young people were quiet for a while. They didn't think it was a big deal to slander an imperial officer who came from a poor family, but facing Yin Qiqi head-on was another matter.
This group of people are all from noble families. Let alone them, even their family would not have the courage to offend Qiqi under normal circumstances. Qiqi was able to reach the final step of the Yinma Yin family's heir examination, and the resources and power she controlled far exceeded any other noble family.
At this moment, Ye Mulan said coldly, "Yin Qiqi is nothing special, just go ahead and tell her! As for what happened today, it's just gossip. These people are all my friends. You can't do anything. They just touched me!"
Ji Yuanjia suddenly choked.
Ye Mulan had a reputation as a genius girl when she was still underage, but Ji Yuanjia, who came from a poor family and was promoted to lieutenant colonel of the empire's main army before the age of thirty, was not necessarily any worse than her. However, what is daunting is her other identity. It's nothing to offend a noble girl, but it's another thing to offend the fiancée of the seventh son of the Song Dynasty. Ji Yuanjia, let alone a lieutenant colonel or a major general, could not bear the risk of being considered offensive by the Song clan.
Seeing Ji Yuanjia's expression, Ye Mulan snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Without the power of the Yin family, you are nothing!"
The group of young men and women immediately became active and burst into disdainful laughter.
The young man in blue walked over to Qianye, slapped his palm on the table, and crushed the wine glass in front of him into a pile of powder. Then he stared at Qianye and sneered: "With this little ability, how dare you compete with Brother Gu?" Fight! Sooner or later, I will break your dog legs and scratch this little face! I will let you know that a pariah should stick to his duty and stop thinking about things that are not destined to belong to you!"
Qianye's expression was relaxed at this time, and there was no hint of happiness or anger. He looked at the young man in blue in front of him and determined that he was also at level five. Judging from their age alone, this group of young people is indeed considered pretty good. The noble family does not have as many resources as the wealthy families, and those who can be fully cultivated by the family are all geniuses.
Qianye still had time to look at Ye Mulan. This iceberg-like, cool and proud girl was about the same age as Qiqi. She actually had a faint glow at the seventh node. That was a sign that she would break through in the near future. It was indeed considered a success. Overflowing with talent.
Seeing Qianye sitting still and even looking away, the face of the young man in blue changed slightly, and then he shouted unceremoniously: "What are you looking at? Are you looking for death, you untouchable! If you look at it again, I will kill you Goug out your eyes! I'll pay you some money to get out of here. How can Qiqi really stand up for you?"
Ji Yuanjia took a step forward and stood between the young man in blue and Qianye. He already felt that today's encounter was anything but simple. This group of people were obviously here for Qianye. With Qianye's fiery temper that he easily accepted the challenge at the banquet that night, the other party's repeated provocations clearly wanted to start a war. end.
The young man in blue smiled strangely and said: "Lieutenant Colonel Ji, are you trying to teach me a lesson about disrespecting your superior?"
Ji Yuanjia's face was extremely gloomy and he only uttered two words, "Not bad."
A clear cold snort suddenly came from the opposite side. Ye Mulan's beautiful eyes were as snowy as frost, and her energy was firmly locked on Ji Yuanjia.
A young man in red came out from behind her, walked up to Ji Yuanjia with a smile, reached out and touched his epaulettes, and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Lieutenant Colonel, I'm so scared, really scared. Ah! Hahaha, sir, you can't use lynching in the army, so let's get a warrant! Unfortunately, it seems that the person who is reviewing and issuing the arrest warrant is my father. Do you think he will issue a warrant for his own son's arrest? ”
The other young people laughed and started cheering.
The Imperial Army has a strict hierarchy, and disrespecting one's superiors is a very serious crime. However, the military positions of these young people are all in the name of the Expeditionary Corps, which is in a different order from the 17th Corps where Ji Yuanjia belongs. Ji Yuanjia, who had no direct jurisdiction, had no choice but to impeach them if he wanted to disturb them. However, in a territory like Xichang City where the expeditionary force was dominant, a little bit of verbal dispute would inevitably be ignored by the lengthy investigation process.
The young man in blue simply crossed his arms, glanced at Qianye from the corner of his eyes, and sneered: "Okay, I take it back. Maybe Lieutenant Colonel Ji just collected some protection money."
Ji Yuanjia's face turned pale, and he suddenly took a deep breath, and the force of his body slowly surged.
At this moment, Qianye reached out and patted Ji Yuanjia on the shoulder, and said lightly: "Don't be like this. With your status, fighting with a bunch of losers is too flattering to them."
Ji Yuanjia was startled. It's not that he doesn't know how serious the consequences will be if he takes action, but he really can't bear this birdiness.
Qianye showed a cold smile, "But I'm different! Since these noble young men of the noble family are higher than me in rank and status, they will not refuse the challenge of a pariah, right?" He His eyes passed over the smug young man in blue and fell into the crowd, "Mr. Ye Muhai, did the injury on your face heal so quickly?"
Ye Muhai's face suddenly turned green and white, and he was completely speechless, while the ignored young man in blue looked stunned and sinister.
Ye Muhai was knocked unconscious by Qianye's punch that day. He always said that he was unprepared, but he knew very well that even if there was another fight, he would never be Qianye's opponent. The power and speed of that punch far exceeded his limit!
Now faced with Qianye’s provocation by name, how could he dare to respond? If you answer the question, you will have to go down to fight. But in full view of everyone, how could he afford to lose another match? From now on, no matter how long it takes, he will be the laughing stock in aristocratic circles.
Ye Muhai could only comfort himself that this scene was not in line with the plan, and he was right not to accept it. But he didn't dare to raise his head to look at Ye Mulan's face. The intimidating cousin must have a very ugly face now, and her opinion of him had dropped to the lowest point.
When they made such a fuss, many guests dining on this floor were alarmed. Those who were able to dine at the 'Tongque Terrace' were all prominent figures in Xichang City. Ye Mulan, Ji Yuanjia and others looked very familiar to them, so more and more people gathered to watch.
At this time, the young man in blue stood up. Contrary to his previous arrogance, he pretended to be indifferent and said: "I am Lu Shenjiang. It is a pity that I missed the opportunity to meet you at the banquet. I hope you will not refuse now. Let’s make up for this regret.”
When Ji Yuanjia heard the young man in blue announcing his family name, he immediately remembered his identity.
Lu Shenjiang doesn’t look much older than Qianye. In fact, he is nearly thirty years old, and his force power has reached the peak of level five. The reason why he has not broken through is said to be related to the secret skills he has learned from his family. Force power and combat skills must be advanced at the same time. Only at different levels can he hone in the maximum power, so his combat power is by no means only level five.
Although the Lu family is a noble family, it has been passed down for more than seven hundred years. It is said that their ancestors once entered the aristocratic family, but they have declined in the past hundred years. However, the Lu family's secret combat skills are qualified to be ranked with the aristocratic families.
This is really a suitable person to provoke trouble. If the other party offers a level 6 challenge, Ji Yuanjia will definitely reject it directly on Qianye’s behalf. He whispers the identity of the other party to Qianye with some worry.
Qianye smiled and said, "I know."
The empire favored martial arts, and big shots often liked to arrange a few fights to entertain them after meals. It was as popular a show as singing and dancing. Therefore, on the 'Tongque Terrace', on the side adjacent to the airship lift, there is Ready-made fighting arena.
Before Qianye left the stage, Ji Yuanjia whispered uneasily: "Be careful! These people are prepared because of that person."
A subtle cold light flashed in Qianye's eyes, and he said: "I know how to deal with it."
There is obviously Gu Liyu's shadow behind this incident, so it becomes both simple and complicated.
A moment later, Qianye and Lu Shenjiang entered the fighting arena and stood facing each other. There were already spectators around them. It was not difficult to see several big figures in Xichang City with familiar faces.
Lu Shenjiang took a deep breath, and a faint golden light floated on his arms. As he spread his arms, it really looked like a roc spreading its wings!
The crowd of onlookers was immediately shocked. The force below the level of the general showed a strange phenomenon of the force being released, which not only showed that Lu Shenjiang's combat skills had been cultivated to the point of being proficient in the palace, but also that the combat skills themselves could be ranked among the ninth level.
Lu Shenjiang shouted: "Secret: Golden Winged Bird King Fist!"
His momentum grew higher and higher, and the golden light on his arms became brighter and brighter, and he actually had the prototype of wings. When his momentum reached its highest level, Lu Shenjiang let out a loud roar and rushed towards Qianye. His hands turned into claws, like two sharp hooks, and clasped hard at Qianye's shoulders!
But just as he was about to pounce, Qianye suddenly let out a low roar, stamped his right foot on the ground, and the entire fighting arena shook!
Qianye's figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only a big hole where he stood. At this moment, a fist was reflected in Lu Shenjiang's pupils, passing through the gap between his claws, getting bigger and bigger before his eyes! The oncoming surging force crackled and roared in my ears!
Lu Shenjiang's heart almost stopped beating, and he only had one thought for a moment, "So fast! So heavy?"
He still has some real abilities. Although he was shocked by this earth-shattering punch, his body's tempered instinct acted first. He drew his arms back, crossed them to protect his head and chest, and forcefully received Qianye's blow. !
There was a muffled bang, and there seemed to be a very slight sound of bone cracking. Qianye leaned back and took a step back, but Lu Shenjiang was much worse. He was knocked back ten meters by a punch!
There were exclamations on the sidelines of the fighting arena.
Lu Shenjiang felt like stars were rising in front of his eyes, and blood surged in his chest. At this moment, he was lucky that he instinctively chose to defend. Otherwise, Qianye's shoulders might have been pierced in the previous exchange, but his punch would have directly hit his heart.
In shock and anger, Lu Shenjiang finally understood what Ye Muhai was feeling at that time. When the punch landed, it was as if the entire mountain was hitting his head. Even though his combat power was at least 20% higher than Ye Muhai's, he still felt that he could not resist it.
Qianye didn't intend to give him time to reflect. He just calmed down the backlash and strode forward. At this moment, the force of force surged in his body, and waves of waves crashed onto the shore. Each wave was higher than the last. When the stack reached the ninth level, Qianye had already rushed to the melee position, and he had not fully recovered from the whip kick. Lu Shenjiang pulled away.
Halfway out of this leg, a faint yellow light glowed on it, and at the same time, the sound of crackling force bursts could be clearly heard. A decisive battle! Military fighting skills! So powerful?
How could Lu Shenjiang dare to take such a kick? Regardless of his image, he rolled on the spot and managed to escape. But before he could stand up on the defensive, Qianye followed him like a shadow, and his legs were chopped off like a giant ax and a long knife!
There was another muffled sound, Lu Shenjiang raised his hands above his head and forcibly held Qianye's legs. However, his body was shorter and it turned out that Qianye's leg had already driven him into the ground.
Qianye had no expression on his face, retracted his left leg, raised his right leg again, and kicked Lu Shenjiang fiercely with the surging force. This time, Lu Shenjiang's golden light was completely kicked away, and he flew backwards, spurting out blood while he was still in the air.
Teng Teng Teng! Qianye was running like a giant beast, striding forward and pursuing Lu Shenjiang mercilessly.
The entire fighting arena was silent.
The military attack was fierce and fierce, with heavy peaks and waves, and the power became more and more unstoppable as it went on. At this moment, Qianye's momentum was clearly established. It was like thousands of cavalry firing at once, pointing directly at the Chinese army. If Lu Shenjiang received another blow, it would be a disaster.
A light purple figure suddenly flashed in front of him and slashed down at Qianye with a palm!
It’s Ye Mulan!
