After the Bai family’s youngest child left, Liu Qitian and Liu Qi sat down and stared at each other. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere looked a little weird.
Finally, Liu Qitian couldn't bear it, and when the table patted, he questioned: "Boy, do you know what you just did?"
"Of course, just a few words." Liu Qi said with a shrug.
"A few words? You said so lightly, you actually agreed to the challenge, don't you know that this is a set set by the Bai family? You are still silly and willing to drill in, are you really Think you can fight a warrior in the body refining realm with four levels?" Liu Qitian hates iron for failing to become a steel track.
"Of course I know that this is a set they set up. I deliberately got in." Liu Qi didn't mean to repent at all, spreading his hands.
"You... You..." Liu Qitian was blowing his beard and staring at his eyes, and finally sighed, "Smelly boy, you usually get into trouble with the wayward old man and don't say it, but you are joking with your own life about this matter. You know you accept it. Does a formal challenge mean anything? It means that the boy from the Bai family can deal with you at will in the ring!"
"Father, you were not so domineering just now. You said that the Liu family had no scumbags. Why do you have no confidence now?" Liu Qi asked Liu Qitian with interest.
"You stinky kid even joked with the old man. Just now you accepted the challenge arbitrarily. Could the old man help you refuse? Now that you have agreed, the old man can only bite the bullet and be strong, no matter how powerful he is! In front of you, the old man knows how many catties you have, and there is no chance of winning in the face of a four-tiered martial artist!" Liu Qitian held his forehead, and he felt a little pain in his head.
"Is there really no chance of winning?" Liu Qi smiled and asked rhetorically.
"You have been in extremely poor physical conditions since you were young. Dantian cannot expand at all. You have no martial arts physique at all, so you are just an ordinary person so far, but the boy of the Bai family is already a four-tier martial artist in the body refining realm. You are not an opponent even with ten. If you rashly accepted his challenge, is it just humiliating yourself in the ring?"
"Father, this competition has not yet taken place, how do you know the result?"
"The result is obvious!"
"In this world, strength does not mean absolute strength, sir, what do you think?"
Liu Qitian was taken aback, with a dazed expression: "What do you say?"
"Indeed, if a person has strong power, it does not mean that his strength can match his strength. If this person is a second-hand, doesn’t it lack the roots, even people weaker than him can calculate him, Besides, a person's strength is related to strength, but it is not absolute. Strategy is only a small part of it."
Hearing what Liu Qi said, Liu Qitian felt a little in agreement, but he still didn't think his grandson could overcome this challenge.
"Well, even if you say that strength doesn't mean absolute strength, but in terms of strategy, you and the guy from the Bai family are only half-hearted." Liu Qitian waved his hand helplessly.
"This is not necessarily, no, it should be absolutely impossible. The boy in Bai Chi is not even a scum in front of me." Liu Qi said with an arrogant expression.
Liu Qitian curled his lips in disapproval: "If you are smart, you will not choose to accept the challenge."
"Master, don't worry, I will win this duel, and I will never shame the Liu family! Okay, I just went out for a walk, I was a little hungry, and I went to eat."
With that said, Liu Qi immediately flashed people, and he never gave Liu Qitian a chance to speak.
Looking at Liu Qi’s back, Liu Qitian couldn’t speak for a long time. How could this kid look a little changed and he couldn’t even see through it. Could this kid really have a way to defeat a four-tiered body-refining martial artist? What is the method
To use a metaphor, an ordinary person can lift a one hundred catty weight, and a body-refining realm quadruple warrior can lift at least a four hundred catty weight. The power difference between the two is extremely different.
"No, you must use all sorts to help this stinky guy improve his cultivation these days. It doesn't matter if you win or lose. At least you can protect yourself at the time. If the boy from the Bai family kills you, he can deal with it." Liu Qitian thought silently in his heart.
…
The imperial city has been so lively these days.
First, the son of the Tai Fu was assassinated, and then there was news that Liu Qi, the young general of the Liu family, was going to duel with the son of the Bai family, Bai Chi. This was simply breaking news.
In almost half a day, the entire imperial city, including the big families in the imperial city, and even the people of the royal family had heard about the duel. Obviously, there must be the promotion of the Bai family. They deliberately released the news of the duel to attract more attention, and when the duel came more people knew about it. Once Liu Qi was defeated, they could hit Liu's arrogance severely.
Both the Bai family and the Liu family are powerful in the imperial city. One is a great general who is in charge of most of the military power of the Kuangwu Empire and has great popularity in the military. It can be said that as long as the generals say a word, the Kuangwu Empire has half the strength of the army. Will be scattered. On the other hand, the Bai family’s position in the court is unbeatable. Almost all the major political decisions of the Kuangwu Empire are related to the Youxiang country. In addition, there are members of the Bai family among the great concubines, and no one can compare in power. Bai family.
The Bai family and the Liu family dominated most of the Kuangwu empire. Although they fought for decades, there has been no major change. Of course, there are checks and balances behind the royal family. Often when one side has the absolute advantage, the royal family will secretly support the other side to maintain the balance between the two sides, which is also a means to ensure the stability of the royal family.
Nowadays, the duel between the young son of the Bai family and the younger son of the Liu family can be regarded as a head-on confrontation. Although it is only a contest of the younger generation, it has been considered by many to be a battle between the two powers.
The two older generations have reached their peak, and what we are looking at now is the actions of the younger generation. Which side has the advantage of the younger generation will have an unlimited future.
Therefore, after receiving news of the duel between Liu Qi and Baichi, the major forces in the imperial city began to operate, and even the royal family did not slack off.
…
"I heard that the boy of the Liu family and Bai Chi are going to duel in the central arena of the imperial city. Is this news true?" In the palace of the prince, the prince with a luxurious face and haughty face looked at Nie Zhongqiang next to him and asked.
Nie Zhongqiang's face is haggard. He has just finished his son's funeral, and his mood hasn't adjusted.
"It's true. This is the personal confession of the Bai family. They must have been prepared to disclose the news in this way. The subordinates thought that the prince should also make plans early... Cough cough..." Nie Zhongqiang coughed hoarsely.
"You are right, you should plan ahead! Taifu Nie, you have just finished planning for your son's funeral, and your mental and physical conditions are not good. You will take care of yourself at home in these two days, so you don't have to come to ask for peace."
"Prince Xie is concerned, but the dog's vengeance has not been avenged, and he can't let it go. He has not found an enemy one day, and will not be at peace the next day!" Nie Zhongqiang clenched his fist tightly, his eyes oozing blood.
"This palace has been investigating Zuixianglou for the past two days, and I must find clues soon. Don't worry, Nie Xiang and this palace have a good relationship, and this hatred of this palace will definitely be reported!"
"Thank you, the prince, thank you prince for the dog!" Nie Zhongqiang knelt on the ground, loudly excited.
"Don't thank you, you are the right-hand man in this palace, of course this palace will help you, but Zuixianglou has been quiet, and it may take some time."
"As long as you can get revenge, you are willing to wait no matter how long you are down!"
"That's good, then you go back to rest, but Liu Qi and Bai Chi duel, this is not to be missed."
"Yes!"
…
Zuixianglou, a secret boudoir.
"Xiaohong, what's the situation?" Hongye sat in front of the dressing table and asked a woman in red next to her.
"The princelings have been investigating secretly, and some even came in as guests to investigate, but our girls are all well-trained and have not shown their feet for the time being." The woman in red said respectfully.
"The responsibility of assassinating the son of the Taifu was brought to us. This murder with a knife is really clever. Which party is behind it? It has caused our original plan to be delayed." The Hongye girl said with a serious expression on her face.
"Girl Hongye, we also got another important news." The woman in red arched her hands and continued.
"Say."
"The Liu Family and Liu Qi will fight against the Bai Family's Baichi. Three days later, they will be in the ring in the center of the imperial city."
Hearing this news, Hongye's eyes flashed with excitement, and he asked with a little excitement: "This news is true?"
"It's completely true. This is a personal confession from the insiders of the Bai family. Presumably, they secretly contributed to the spread of the news. The purpose is to let more people know. This is probably a trap of the Bai family."
"This news came too timely. Originally, I was still thinking about how to disturb the muddy waters of the imperial city. Now it happens that this matter is here, and it can advance our plan. Very good, very good! Xiaohong, Ma upload order.' The twelfth palace of swallowing clouds' come and see me!" The girl in Hongye solemnly gave orders to the woman in red.
"Yes, Hongye girl!" The woman in red respectfully arched her hands and stepped back.
Hong Ye looked at herself in the bronze mirror with a smile that turned upside down all living beings. She murmured while combing her long hair like a waterfall: "The Liu family and the Bai family are fighting for power? Then the imperial city will be completely messed up, and our chance is here."
When the people in the imperial city focused all their attention on the Liu family and the Bai family, no one noticed that one of the forces had begun to operate secretly. This force belonged to the Zuixianglou, and even Liu Qi did not know about it.
Liu Qi knew that Zuixianglou had a purpose, but he didn't know what they wanted to do, but even if he knew the purpose of Zuixianglou, he didn't care. As the evil saint, the number one killer in the holy world, Liu Qi has always been a god blocking the killing of the gods and demons. No matter who is in front of him, Liu Qi will not show mercy.
