I really can’t shed tears until I see the coffin!
Xu Tuo shook his head. There were only two of them in the ring just now, and the man in front of him could indeed use hidden weapons. Besides him, who else could be the one who did it
"Come here, take him down for me!"
"Yes, sir!"
The man raised his head with difficulty and looked at the indifferent Xu Tuo. He was full of dissatisfaction, but his left and right arms were suppressed by the soldiers and he could not move at all. He heard that his uncle said that the court would hold a meeting to recruit talents, so he happily signed up. He wanted to use his true skills to make a good future for himself and go back to honor his ancestors, but he did not expect to encounter such bad luck. Yes, he did know how to use hidden weapons, and he was indeed ready to release it, but he knew that he did not release the hidden weapon by himself!
"Wait a minute!" When everyone was about to take him down, a gray-haired old man came out.
"It turns out to be Taifu Jiang!" Xu Tuo recognized the white-haired old man with sharp eyes as Jiang Yuan, the former prince's tutor. Then his eyes circled around the man being pressed down by the soldiers, and he said with a smile, "Taifu Jiang, this person intends to assassinate Mr. Xue. You don't want to come to intercede for him, do you?"
When Jiang Meng saw his uncle, he hurriedly struggled to crawl towards him, but the soldiers who were pinned down on him refused to let him move. He could only shout loudly: "I didn't want to kill Xue Fei! I didn't put the hidden weapon!"
Xue Fei was the person who was stabbed in the chest just now. Behind him was the Xue family, and the Xue family belonged to the King Qin faction of Wanqiqin. Jiang Yuan was a confidant of the former crown prince, but now his nephew has killed people who supported King Qin. It seems that the situation is more serious than ever.
Jiang Yuan gave Jiang Meng a calm look and said calmly to Xu Tuo: "Although Jiang Meng can use concealed weapons, he will not hurt people's lives. Besides, Mr. Xue is not awake yet. It is better to wait for him to wake up before trying him. In front of us. Let’s get the competition going smoothly first! I wonder what Mr. Xu thinks?”
Jiang Yuan is the chief referee of Shi Dao this time. Martial arts and Shi Dao are completely separate, but this time the responsibilities are the same and there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates. Therefore, the two of them can talk more directly, not to mention that they are both mature old foxes who know what comes first. Naturally, we won't make both parties unhappy because of some unhappy things. Even if they are really enemies, at least they won't show it.
"Taifu Jiang is absolutely right. If you come, please ask Young Master Jiang to come down. The martial arts test will proceed as usual!"
In just a short while, Xu Tuo's attitude towards Jiang Meng changed drastically. After all, Jiang Yuan is also a person with great power now. If he really doesn't give him some face, it will be of no benefit to either of them. It's better to just be a favor. Anyway, this is the dispute between Prince Qin and the former prince, and there is no need for him to involve himself.
"What a pity!" Xiao Yuan muttered as he watched everything happening on the ring.
"Why is it such a pity?"
"The man who was escorted just now is called Xue Fei, and he is the beloved son of Mr. Xue, a subordinate of Prince Qin. This man's name is Jiang Meng, and he is the nephew of the former crown prince. These two are famous and outstanding disciples in Youzhou City! "
"Oh? Is there such an identity?" An Yu looked thoughtfully at Jiang Meng who was led away by the soldiers.
"The competition just now was really fierce! I didn't expect that such a thing would happen. Let me just say, something will happen if you use hidden weapons! Swords have no eyes, let alone using hidden weapons. As long as you are not trained to the level of Fire Lord, hidden weapons will definitely shoot. No!"
An Yu seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, he turned around and asked excitedly: "What did you just say?"
Xiao Yuan was a little stunned by her serious question, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Repeat what you just said."
"I, what did I say..."
"You said a sword has no eyes, let alone a hidden weapon. What about the ones behind it?"
"Well... as long as someone is not well-trained, using concealed weapons will definitely be biased..."
When An Yu heard this, her eyes flashed, and before Xiao Yuan could recover, she used Shadowless to fly towards the ring.
"Wait!"
Jiang Meng was about to be taken out of sight, and even the people for the next game were already on stage, but at this moment, a young man in white and brocade robes suddenly appeared! Xu Tuo frowned and said displeased: "Who are you? Can you afford to disturb the martial arts test?!"
Hearing this, An Yu smiled slightly and said in a clear voice: "Sir, I can prove that the hidden weapon just now was not made by Young Master Jiang!"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the audience started talking. The scene just now can be said to have happened in full view of the public. The hidden weapon clearly flew out of Jiang Meng's body. Now this kid on the stage actually said that he can prove that it was not Jiang Meng's fault!
Even Jiang Meng, who was taken far away, couldn't help but look back after hearing his words. The soldier ignored him and let him look at An Yu happily and expectantly.
"Do you know what you are talking about?" Xu Tuo suspected that there was something wrong with his ears and asked again.
"Master Xu, Master Jiang, let me tell you, I have a way to prove that the dart just now was not made by Young Master Jiang."
She spoke very slowly this time, but very smoothly, and every word was very clear and powerful, enough for everyone present to confirm again.
"Stop talking nonsense! The dart just flew out of his body. Unless he was possessed by a ghost, he didn't release it!"
"Yes, I also saw the dart flying out of his sleeve!"
The discussion in the audience rose again, and only Jiang Meng looked at her without blinking. An Yu didn't disappoint him either. After giving him a calm look, he raised his head and said to Xu Tuo calmly: "Sir, please give me some time. It won't delay the martial arts test."
At this moment, a high-pitched singing voice came through the air: "The Emperor has arrived - King Qin has arrived -"
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor—"
"Your Majesty, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old—"
After kneeling down, everyone stood up and saw the little emperor and Wan Qiqin taking their seats at Xu Tuo's seat. The little emperor has no real power and can be said to be a puppet emperor. But in such a public scene, the emperor still had to show off.
"I heard something happened here, Xu Aiqing, what happened?"
"Back to the Emperor, the old minister failed to supervise me well and allowed an intentional person to injure his life on stage. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
"Xu Aiqing worked hard to recruit talented people for me. What's the crime?" Under Wan Qiqin's training, the little emperor behaved in a decent manner. "Who hurt whom?"
"Your Majesty, the Jiang family's young master accidentally injured the Xue family's young master."
What he said was a bit clever. He didn't mention Jiang Meng or Xue Fei. He just used the names representing the two factions instead. The experts were watching the door and the laymen were watching the excitement. Sure enough, after Wan Qiqin heard this, he stopped playing with his big thumb and gently raised his head to look at Jiang Meng, who was taking the stage again.
The little emperor turned his eyes to Wan Qiqin who was standing aside, as if asking him what to do next.
Wan Qiqin raised his hand gently, his eyes circled around An Yu, landed on Xu Tuo, and asked: "This competition is to recruit some real people for the court, so no matter which competition it is, It’s just a matter of time. Why are there still incidents of hurting people?”
Xu Tuo knew that he was asking himself, and quickly replied: "Back to the Emperor, Your Majesty, Mr. Xue is still in a coma, I guess..."
Before he could finish his words, a man hurried over here. Before everyone could recover, the man shouted loudly: "Xue, Mr. Xue is out of breath!"
As soon as the words were spoken, there was an uproar on the field. Unexpectedly, a life was lost in just such a moment. And Jiang Meng fell to the ground as if he had no bones, his face full of despair. If Xue Fei gets his life back, he won't have anything to fear. But now that Xue Fei is dead, then he...
"Your Majesty, lives are not allowed to be harmed during the competition, but now Jiang Meng has ignored the laws and regulations and used hidden weapons, causing Mr. Xue to lose his life in vain. According to the law, he should be killed!"
"No! Your Majesty, I was wronged!"
"Asking for mercy from the emperor is in vain!"
As soon as Xu Tuo heard that Xue Fei died, he knew that no matter how good he was to Jiang Meng, it would be useless. The law would not tolerate mercy. Now was the time to show off himself. The emperor and Wan Qiqin were both here to watch!
"Wait a minute!" Before Xu Tuo could figure out how to deal with Jiang Meng, An Yu said firmly on the side, "Mr. Xue was not killed by Mr. Jiang! I can prove that Jiang Meng is not the murderer!"
"This young master, everyone present saw that the dart flew out of Mr. Jiang's body and hit Mr. Xue's chest. I want to ask, in front of everyone, how can you excuse him? Or, you Are you and Jiang Meng basically the same group? You have been planning to kill Mr. Xue for a long time? Even if you really have a way to prove it, why didn't you say it just now? "
"Master Xu, as I said just now, I have a way to prove that Mr. Xue was not killed by him. You just didn't have time to ask me."
"Well, since you have a way, then go ahead and prove it!" Except for a few of Wan Qiqin's confidants, not many people present could guess that the meddling young man in front of them was actually this person. The host of the meeting. No one wanted to believe what she said.
An Yu didn't care about those colored eyes, he just lowered his head and looked at Jiang Meng's hands, and then asked softly: "Are you left-handed?"
Jiang Meng was a little dazed. How did he know that he was left-handed? But his words were really gentle. He had never heard such gentle words before!
When An Yu saw the person in front of him nodded blankly, he smiled happily, straightened up and looked at the weapon he was using - a long-handled crescent knife. This crescent knife is considered lightweight, even she can lift it with one hand. Now that its owner is in trouble, it has no choice but to lie on the ground obediently...
"I just heard that you can also use concealed weapons. Can you show me what your concealed weapons look like?"
