The location of the Sword Club is in the outer city.

It occupies a large area.

It surrounds a lake, but not Yueming Lake, but Jian Lake. The name of the lake naturally arises because of the sword meeting.

The competition venue is in the middle of the lake, where a ring is built. From a distance, it seems to be completely suspended on the lake surface.

At the second hour of the year, there were already crowds of people here, and the noise was shaking the sky.

The auditorium surrounds the lake in a circular shape, with layers progressing to ensure that the center of the lake can be clearly seen at all angles.

In the past, the Lijian Club was very lively. People from the martial arts world often came to the stage to discuss swords. Occasionally, there were practitioners, which in more sense was just an entertainment.

But the Sword Society also has unwritten rules, which can also be called the Life and Death Platform.

As long as a life and death agreement is signed, there will be life and death at the sword meeting.

It is not compulsory, but rather the participants voluntarily putting down a life-and-death ring. The two sides naturally have hatred and are unwilling to resolve it privately. The rules of the Sword Society only provide some convenience to these people. After all, killing people directly in the capital is a crime, but in this way, even the government cannot control it.

Of course, the crowd is only targeted at the gangsters and practitioners.

In addition to some ordinary audiences, there are many people who appear in the Sword Club.

For example, Bei Zangfeng and Guan Muyun of Lihua Academy.

Shen Qiubai and Zhong Xiyan from Zhaixing Mansion.

The brothers Xie Chunfeng and Xie Ning who are not far away.

Even the Minister Mu Nan of Xuan Zhengsi appeared in a corner.

They were all waiting for the arrival of the people from Ligong Sword Courtyard and Xiao Zhinan.

Bei Zangfeng and Shen Qiubai stood on the same bridge, and the formation of Jianhu Lake was only formed by a tributary of Tianhe that converged into the capital. The same was true for Yueming Lake, and there would naturally be arch bridges on the main tributary.

The bridge is not very close to Jianhu, but not far away. Just from the vision of Bei Zangfeng and Shen Qiubai, the distance is not a problem. They can even see it more clearly than the ordinary audience in the audience.

There are also concerns about Mu Yun and Zhong Xiyan on the bridge. Although the brothers Xie Chunfeng and Xie Ning are not in the audience, they are watching elsewhere.

"As expected, Xiao Zhinan ran to Ligong Sword Courtyard to challenge Ouyang Shengxue, the confrontation between Beiyan and the strongest sword cultivator of the younger generation of Jiang Guoli is really exciting."

Among the two countries, among the younger generation of sword cultivators, there is indeed no one who can compare with the two. Bei Zangfeng only practiced sword art. He was mainly practicing magical powers in the Lihua Academy. Naturally, he could not be said to be a sword cultivator, but could only be said to be a sword cultivator.

When Xiao Zhinan meets Ouyang Shengxue, it also means that it is the battle between Langhuan Jianlu and Ligong Jianyuan.

There are only three sword gates in the world, and Xiao Zhinan and Ouyang Shengxue represent two of them. If you want to decide the outcome in a sword meeting, you will naturally receive attention from many parties.

Bei Zangfeng said calmly: "You and I have fought with Miss Xiao, and Ouyang Shengxue has been away from Jing for many years. It is inevitable that he will become stronger. Although he can sense it from his breath, it will be a bit inaccurate. Moreover, they are both sword cultivators, and they are competing for sword skills. It is difficult to say who wins and who loses."

Shen Qiubai said: "Miss Xiao's sword path is constant fighting. It is a terrible thing that she can become stronger and stronger with the battle. But before the threshold of the fifth realm, no matter how high the qualification is, there will inevitably be huge obstacles."

"Ouyang Shengxue would embark on the path of swordsmanship earlier than Xiao Zhinan. Perhaps in terms of subjective consciousness, most people in the capital would think that the winner was Ouyang Shengxue, but in fact, Miss Xiao's chance of winning is not low."

Bei Zangfeng said thoughtfully: "Then I bet Miss Xiao will win."

Chen Qiubai looked at him in surprise, then smiled and said, "It's rare that Brother Zangfeng is so elegant, so I'll bet on you. Since you bet on Miss Xiao, I bet on Ouyang Shengxue to win."

Zhong Xiyan also smiled beside him and said, "It's me too. Actually, I don't know very well what the odds of Ouyang Shengxue and Xiao Zhinan are, but Xiao Zhinan is also a guest of my country, so I'll bet on her to win."

The three of them immediately turned their attention to Guan Muyun.

Guan Muyun was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, and said, "I will choose the eldest gentleman from the Palace Sword Courtyard."

"That's two to two." Chen Qiubai smiled and said, "Coincidentally, Brother Zangfeng and my senior brother bet that Miss Xiao would win, while Junior Brother Guan of Lihua Academy bets that Ouyang Shengxue would win, just like me. This combination is also interesting."

Zhong Xiyan said: "Since the gambling is done, how about winning and losing bets?"

Bei Zangfeng remained silent. He thought that he had just said something casually, why did it become a gambling game?

As for the rewards and punishments for winning and losing bets, he was too lazy to think about it and could only remain silent.

Chen Qiubai thought and said, "I don't have any good ideas. Why not do you think so? If you win the bet, the loser will learn to bark?"

Beizangfeng: "..."

Zhong Xiyan: "..."

Guan Muyun: "Wang Wang???"

......

Lu Wang Mansion.

Qin Chengyi sat in the pavilion in the yard drinking herbal tea, looking at Li Mengzhou with a smile, "Where was Mr. Qi at that time?"

His emotions were quite serious, because he didn't expect Li Mengzhou to say such a straightforward saying that he was not in the gentle place.

That question was indeed just a test, but Li Mengzhou's answer made him quite confused.

Even Song Yidao stared at Li Mengzhou.

Dan Tai Jing was once promoted by Qin Chengyi, which means that only some people in the court knew about it. However, it is normal for officials to be rewarded and promoted and salary increase. There are definitely not many people who truly understand the relationship between Dan Tai Jing and Qin Chengyi, and those insiders are all Qin Chengyi.

Just as Zhang Chong was appointed as a deputy general of the military headquarters, the court was basically very clear. Even some people in the capital knew that because Zhang Chong was a human being, he obviously wanted to make trouble all over the city.

But for this reason, no one will pay special attention to this matter, nor will he think that a small petty will have anything to do with His Highness Lu.

Even Dan Tai Jing, who has a high official position, has indeed made some contributions. When he is not clear about the details, there is nothing to say.

But it is no longer a secret that Li Mengzhou killed Zhang Chong.

Even if Qin Chengyi would not make things difficult for Li Mengzhou, when he used the murder of Dan Tai Jing to test, Li Mengzhou's answer was quite mysterious.

“I’m sleeping at home.”

"puff!"

Qin Chengyi suddenly sprayed out all the herbal tea he had just drunk.

His face was a little red. He looked at Li Mengzhou. He didn't expect this answer. He picked up the handkerchief and wiped his mouth. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Qi is really humorous."

Li Mengzhou said seriously: "There is indeed no evidence for this incident in Wenrou Village, but when Dan Tai Jing was killed, I was indeed not in Wenrou Village. However, there are many witnesses in sleeping at my home in Chaosi Lane, and the people living in Chaosi Lane can prove it."

He said many names in succession, and then said, "They may have seen me in Chaosi Lane, and some people have come to visit my house. Your Highness will know when he asks."

Qin Chengyi coughed lightly and said, "I just mentioned it casually. Mr. Qi doesn't have to be so serious. I am definitely not doubting Mr. Qi."

Li Mengzhou walked forward a few steps, picked up the herbal tea on the table and drank it all, as if he said casually: "Have your Highness ever left the capital?"

Qin Chengyi was still wiping his mouth silently. He just choked, but when he heard Li Mengzhou's words, he still thought for a moment and said, "I had been on the frontier when I was young and experienced a real battlefield. I am not the prince who only knows how to enjoy in the capital."

Li Mengzhou nodded slightly and said, "It's getting late, and the duel between the Sword Club is about to begin. Are you interested in going to watch it together?"

Qin Chengyi smiled and shook his head, "I still have some busy things to deal with, so I won't go. Although it was my first time meeting with Mr. Qi, I fell in love with him at first sight. I hope Mr. Qi will do the same and will have more contact in the future."

Li Mengzhou said: "I used to think that a dignified prince should be very majestic, serious and difficult to get along with. When I saw Your Highness today, I found that this was not the case. Your Highness is also an interesting person."

"Then I'll say goodbye."

Qin Chengyi smiled and nodded. After watching Li Mengzhou disappear from sight, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he calmly said to Song Yidao: "What do you think?"

Song Yidao was silent for a moment, and then replied softly after confirming that Li Mengzhou could not hear the sound here: "It's a bit unclear. He generously admitted that he was not in the gentle village when Dan Tai Jing was killed. I subconsciously began to doubt him in my heart, but it was strange that he said it straight to the point. If it weren't for intention, it really had nothing to do with him."

"As for the answer to sleep at home, the truth is the same. If it is not intentional, it is true that the person who is clear will be clear. However, whether we are deliberate and calm depends only on how we think, and we cannot give the correct answer."

Qin Chengyi said thoughtfully: "If you are deliberately, this person will appear sleek. If you are honest, you will be a person worthy of close contact. But as you said, even if you have temptations, you will not get the correct answer in the end, so it will be meaningless."

Song Yidao said calmly: "From the murder of Mr. Zhu of Xuanzhengsi to the killing of Li Mengzhou in the Xuanzhengsi prison, he seemed to have no brains. A very simple thing was so complicated. This thing that had happened was unspeakable, let alone provoking Xue Wangyou and Lu Zhongli."

"Instead of thinking Li Mengzhou too complicated, it is better to make the thinking simpler. Whether there are any problems will naturally be clear in the future."

Qin Chengyi said without comment: "Simple things are often complicated, and complex things are often simple. It mainly depends on the perspective of looking at the problem. I am looking forward to seeing this Mr. Seven again next time."
