He keeps saying all sorts of things, and now he even doesn't think it's a big deal to kill someone with a borrowed knife, as if it's something he's used to in the underworld.
"So what if I'm using someone else's knife to kill someone? We've been around a lot, and we've seen this happen countless times."
Now that it was said like that, those who had no money on them and no connections behind them could only sigh again.
After all, one-on-one is easy to deal with, but if it's one against four or even one against a group... that's simply a fantasy.
This is how the world is, money comes first.
But what people didn't expect was that Bai Qi's fighting style was so powerful that he always created a decisive kill for others inadvertently, which made those who saw it stunned.
It only took three moves to knock down all the servants.
So Bai Qi easily advanced from the last place to the top three, and then participated in the next three-person competition. Perhaps those two people were bribed, so they were like a stubborn stick chasing Bai Qi.
Bai Qi was not to be outdone, picking up the sword beside him and starting to fight them. After all, he was a murderous demon that emerged from the purgatory of ten thousand people. Bai Qi also had experience from his previous life. Even though he had practiced, his killing was extremely cruel. Each of his punches left blood marks on the people.
This momentum stunned the crowd in the audience.
"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, or I'll die!"
How could Bai Qi be willing to listen to this? The three of them were fighting with their numbers bullying the minority, but now they wanted to stop him and forgive him when he was already addicted.
That's impossible.
The fierce blows and palm strikes directly made the people under them bleed. After an unknown amount of time, the judges finally couldn't stand it anymore, and the elders sent their servants to intercept them.
"The game is over, next is the final one-on-one match!"
What makes this game look even more fierce is the one-sided slaughter between Chu Zhan and Bai Qi.
So Chu Zhan, seeing this situation, quickly admitted defeat. He waved his hand without a trace of cloud and admitted defeat before the fight even started.
By stepping down himself, he was giving Bai Qi enough face.
So, in the end, Bai Qi was the winner.
The group of elders had high hopes for Bai Qi and hoped that he could help them solve their problems in Tianshan.
But Bai Qi doesn't want to do that. As an official, how could he stay here and spend his days with you?
So he politely declined the request and said he was only there on someone else's mission.
Besides, Bai Qi himself doesn't like the cold, and this place is so cold that he feels uneasy.
After this martial arts competition, there will be more small performances waiting for them. However, in the past few days, I don’t know what kind of trouble has happened in the court, so they sent pigeons to deliver news here.
However, since this carrier pigeon can only fly to the foot of the mountain, the contact person at the foot of the mountain has to run up the mountain to deliver the letter.
The contact person is also a falconer, and he is always accompanied by a golden red-eyed eagle. There are many rabbits on the snow mountain, and the group of falconers also like to go to the mountain to catch some rabbits.
As for Zhao Xin, he took the brunt of the letter and then returned to his room to read it, his expression remaining impassive. He felt that the content of this drama was... the outcome he had anticipated.
He knew that a battle would occur, and he had expected it to happen in the next few days. However, he felt that he was of no practical use in the palace and had to rely on Mr. Zhuge's strategies.
So he might as well come over here and take a look, but what made him miscalculate was that the people in this competition turned out to be a bunch of minions.
It was quite disappointing that he couldn't beat Bai Qi even when outnumbered.
But Zhao Xin was not worried at this time, because Mr. Zhuge did not seem anxious in his words, and even seemed quite calm.
He likes Zhuge Liang's calm temperament.
The general content of the letter was that the enemy was invading, and he was trying to find a way to get more soldiers. But Zhao Xin knew that most of the soldiers were in the hands of powerful officials. What could he, a civil servant, do?
They did have several private armies, but they were not enough. The gap between them and the enemy was too obvious. If they had Bai Qi, they could still hold up.
He placed too high hopes on Bai Qi.
Zhao Xin discovered.

Zhuge Liang was squatting outside the hall, looking worried. Xiao He passed by without asking any questions, simply staying beside him as if no one else was around. Seeing Zhuge Liang, who usually fanned himself with a calm and composed demeanor, now crouched in a corner in such a state of disarray, Xiao He was somewhat surprised.
"Mr. Zhuge, this is the first time I've seen you like this. Are you the first person to do this?"
Zhuge Liang was neither angry nor indifferent. He just stretched out his hand and made a gesture, meaning that Xiao He should leave quickly and not disturb his peace.
"I'm afraid that's not possible. Those people are looking for you in the hall right now. You have to go over and give His Majesty a proper talk."
"You're right. You go first. I'll have those people sort out the case files. His Majesty should be back in the next few days. It would be really difficult for the court to function without him in charge!"
Now these court officials are also sighing, wondering why His Majesty doesn't leave quickly while there is peace.
They have to rush to fight a war before going out under the pretext of a secret visit. Your Majesty, do you intend to give up on the Great Qin? Are you intending to abandon them and ignore them?
The ministers grumbled for a while, but Zhuge Liang remained calm and solved the problem in no time. As for the emperor's return, they just had to quickly gather the case files.
"And now His Majesty has given me instructions. At worst, I'll just treat him as an intruder!"
It’s not okay to say this nowadays, mainly because no one believes it.
You said you have neither an imperial edict nor an order from His Majesty, so how can we believe you?
What if you want to be a rebel with internal and external collusion?
Zhuge Liang was silent for a moment after hearing this. Instead of refutating, he even sighed deeply.
The difference between a ruler and his subjects is as great as that between a thousand miles.
At this time, Zhao Xin was also walking down from Tianshan Mountain. After declining the kindness of the elders, he planned to return to the palace to deal with the matter. However, he was stopped halfway. When he looked up, it was Chu Zhan.
I saw him bow to Zhao Xin first.
"We meet again, little brother. You did a good job this time."
Finally, he was seen bowing to Bai Qi with a smile on his face, but there was a hint of viciousness in his smile.
"Congratulations."
Bai Qi was too lazy to deal with it. He was about to take action when he remembered that the man seemed to have bowed to the emperor just now. It seemed that they knew each other, so he didn't say anything.
