Not hard
"The story of the mountain city ends here." Liu Jingyu said.
That night, her mind was blank and she had no memory of how she left the tower. When she regained consciousness, she and her three guards were already standing at the foot of the tower.
"There must be someone behind the story of the mountain city." Looking at the tall tower, Liu Jingyu thought absentmindedly.
——In this world, this is normal.
Some people tried their best, but they could not avoid accidents. The final value of the mountain city eventually fell into the hands of an outsider.
On the morning of the fifth day, the gates of the mountain city were wide open.
Liu Jingyu and the others supported each other and walked out of the mountain city. Flames shot up into the sky behind them, and they walked away without looking back.
It was not until they entered the next city and were eating in silence in a restaurant that Liu Jingyu suddenly remembered something and asked the owner:
"Have you heard of the mountain city?"
The shopkeeper, holding a tray of dishes, looked puzzled and bewildered upon hearing this. He then smiled and said, "Mountain City? A city in Dachen? Or somewhere else? It's not very famous, and its reputation doesn't reach us."
Liu Jingyu understood.
"Who is that person?"
Jiang Jingsui in the pavilion asked.
"Yes, yes." Jiang Jingzong said curiously, "Is he very famous? Could it be someone we all know?"
The smile on Liu Jingyu's face became more and more obvious. The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and three words came out from his thin lips:
"Jiang Jingzhao."
She smiled and said, "The man in red is His Highness Jing Zhao."
As soon as these words were spoken, the pavilion fell into complete silence.
Jiang Jingzhao, the famous Jiang Jingzhao, the one who is known to everyone in the Dayuan Palace but is also the elusive Jiang Jingzhao.
"He is indeed famous, and I do know him." Jiang Jingbai suddenly smiled.
Liu Jingyu raised the corners of her mouth, smiled and looked down at the tea in the porcelain cup in her hand - this could be considered as a gift she gave to them.
"How dangerous..."
Jiang Jingjian sighed and turned his gaze to the quiet girl next to him.
Hearing this, Jiang Jingzong subconsciously curled his lips and muttered, "If I meet her, I don't know who will be in danger..."
However, the next moment, he immediately fell silent, turned his head stiffly, and looked at Liu Jingyu beside him with a forced smile.
The girl in the pink dress in front of him looked up at him slightly, tears in her eyes, and her fingers holding the pink handkerchief trembled and curled up, "Your Highness, do you hate me so much..."
Her sweet voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of sorrow.
Jiang Jingzong was completely stunned.
He opened his mouth slightly, unable to recover for a long time, but subconsciously roared in his heart: "You were just in the story, killing everyone, and now you pretend to be so weak and frail, who would believe it?!!"
Without waiting for Liu Jingyu to say anything else, Jiang Jingzong said decisively with a wooden face: "I was wrong."
"Are you so reluctant... Then I'd better leave and leave the palace early, so that His Highness won't get bored of me." Liu Jingyu was on the verge of tears. She spoke the most unyielding words in the most pitiful tone, and from time to time she raised her handkerchief to cover the upturned corners of her mouth.
Jiang Jingzong...wanted to kowtow to her and beg her to stop talking.
At this moment, Jiang Jingtai coughed twice, earning him an expectant look from Jiang Jingzong. However, Jiang Jingtai just smiled at him, and Jiang Jingzong immediately felt something was wrong. His eyes gradually became panicked, and he looked at him and pleaded silently.
Jiang Jinghui's smile remained unchanged as he looked at him and said, "Old Four, are you saying this because you are very confident in Miss Liu's abilities?"
Jiang Jingjian, alerted by the news, also raised an eyebrow, looked up at Jiang Jingzong across from him, and smiled: "It seems that Miss Liu is extremely powerful. I just wonder who is better, her or the fourth brother?"
Damn it!!!
These two little guys——
Jiang Jing was heartbroken.
"I'm curious too." Liu Jingyu put down the pink handkerchief, the smile on her face becoming more and more obvious, no longer trying to hide it. She said softly, "I wonder if the Fourth Prince is interested in a competition?"
Jiang Jingyuan and the other two looked at Jiang Jingzong, who had a grim expression, with a hint of interest in their eyes.
Hehe, hehe... Jiang Jingzong's expression twisted a few times.
Villains, all villains——
After a pause, his expression calmed down. He looked up at Liu Jingyu, curled his lips and replied:
"OK."
Just because we couldn’t win in the past, how can we say we can’t win now?
——Even if he is defeated, he will never be afraid of fighting.
Under the scorching sun, outside the small pavilion, two figures, one in red and one in purple, stood facing each other, looking at each other from a distance.
The girl in the pink dress turned her wrist, and a long sword with a cold glow appeared in her hand. She stood tall and straight, her sleeves fluttering in the wind. She smiled at the person in front of her and said, "Please give me some advice, Fourth Prince."
There was a smile in her eyes, and her brows were filled with confidence and pride.
The purple-clad youth in front of her had a solemn expression, a long sword in hand, his eyes filled with vigilance and a strong fighting spirit. He said nothing, his hand tightly gripping the long sword, his eyes fixed on the girl not far away.
call--!
The wind blew, and large tracts of flowers and plants bent down, surging like the sea.
An invisible gust of wind swept a purple figure, which suddenly burst forth like an arrow from a bow, hurtling straight towards the figure standing proudly not far away. Under the sunlight, a silver-white long sword streaked across the blazing sky, piercing the air and slashing towards the pink figure.
The violent gust of wind came towards her with an unstoppable force. Liu Jingyu stood where she was, with a calm smile on her lips, not at all panicked. Facing such a violent attack, she did not dodge, but instead raised her long sword to meet it!
"clang!!!"
Their eyes met, one red and one purple, burning with blazing fighting spirit, like a silent provocation.
——Then let’s take a look at your progress in the past two years!
Liu Jingyu raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes were blazing, and his aura was like the scorching sun hanging high in the sky.
There was a cold light flashing in Jiang Jingzong's eyes, and the aura around him was chilling.
Their eyes met, and the two swords separated as soon as they touched.
Liu Jingyu swung his long sword——
The purple-clothed figure stepped back in the air following her force, and with a turn of his long sword, "clang--" he blocked the cold sword that was sweeping towards him.
Liu Jingyu's eyes sharpened, and he increased the strength in his hands. He pressed the long sword against the long sword and slashed fiercely at the purple-clothed figure in front of him.
The long sword slashed through the air, making a sound of breaking through the air, and the person in front of him disappeared out of thin air!
Liu Jingyu chuckled.
Are you going to hide?
The next moment!
A purple-clad figure appeared out of thin air behind her, with black hair and sleeves flying. Jiang Jingzong, holding a knife in both hands, chopped down from the sky towards the pink figure in front of him.
"clang!"
“Ding-ding-ding—ding!”
Between heaven and earth, gusts of wind blew, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. Two figures, one red and one purple, each holding a long sword, struck from the sky to the ground, and then from the ground to the sky, fighting fiercely and bending countless plants and trees.
In a small pavilion not far away, Jiang Jingyuan's gaze followed the two figures that sometimes gathered and sometimes dispersed, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. So Liu Jingyu used this kind of vigorous and fierce fighting style?
At first, when she heard Liu Jingyu's story, she thought Liu Jingyu's fighting style would be more agile...how come now, it was Jiang Jingzong who was dodging and circumventing.
As she watched, Jiang Jingjian's voice suddenly rang in her ears: "That's not the case."
Jiang Jingyuan's eyes flickered, and she turned to look at Jiang Jingjian beside her. Jiang Jingjian put his arm around her shoulders, rubbed her head, and said with a smile, "Liu Jingyu's fighting style is comprehensive, while Jiang Jingzong's fighting style has always been open and aggressive.
“It’s just that although they are now saying they are competing, neither of them is in a hurry to win. Instead, they just want to bring out their full strength.
“In this way, without dodging or avoiding, you can fight to your heart’s content.
"If they weren't in the palace, they would have dropped their swords and fought each other with fists, leaving both sides with bruises and blood."
Jiang Jingjian turned his gaze towards the purple-clad figure not far away and said to Jiang Jingyuan, "Now Jiang Jingzong is dodging again and again and trying to win with tactics. It's just that he can't beat Liu Jingyu, so he can only dodge again and again."
Jiang Jingyuan suddenly understood and said "hmm" without changing his expression.
As she looked, Jiang Jingyuan suddenly felt a hot gaze that was hard to ignore falling on her. She subconsciously turned her head and saw Jiang Jingbai looking at her in despair, looking like a pitiful dog in the water.
“……?”
Jiang Jingyuan was stunned. He glanced at Jiang Jinghui several times, not understanding why, but he didn't respond. He turned his gaze and was about to turn back to look at the battle outside the pavilion when he heard Jiang Jinghui say in a low voice: "Xiaoyuan..."
"?" Jiang Jingyuan turned her gaze back to her side, only to see Jiang Jingbai's eyes flashing, staring straight at her... head?
He looked pitiful, longing for something but not daring to say it.
Jiang Jinghui's lips moved, and he whispered cautiously, "Xiao Yuan, I..."
No. Jiang Jingyuan decisively turned his gaze away, raised his hand to pull Jiang Jingjian's hand off his head and threw it aside, then focused on the two figures fighting back and forth outside the pavilion.
Jiang Jingsui: “…”
Jiang Jingjian: “……?” No, what does this have to do with him?
Warm sunlight filled the sky and earth. Jiang Jingzong pursed his lips, his face cold and solemn. His eyes flashed, and he flipped in the air, long sword in hand, falling from the sky and smashing towards Liu Jingyu who was standing on the ground. The sword light slashed down -
"clang--"
Liu Jingyu looked up, decisively blocking the front with the long sword in his right hand, and flipping his left wrist, he grasped a long sword that appeared out of thin air and swept it towards the abdomen of the person in front of him.
——She actually used two swords!
The three people in the pavilion looked slightly surprised.
However, there was no trace of surprise in Jiang Jingzong's eyes - he already knew it.
Faced with such a powerful and demanding attack, he frowned and decisively drew his sword and retreated. His clothes fluttered as he landed on his toes. As he looked up, he saw someone suddenly approaching him at an extremely fast speed!
Jiang Jingzong's pupils shrank, and before he could swing the long sword in his hand, he saw the corner of the person in front of him curl his lips.
"Bang!"
The purple-clothed youth was kicked away by her without any resistance in the next moment.
"Bang!"
The three people in the pavilion saw a purple figure like a wild goose sliding across the sky.
Jiang Jingzong fell into the grass and disappeared without a trace, while the girl standing between heaven and earth smiled, slowly put away her two swords, and stood proudly.
The outcome is decided.
Wow——
There was applause in the small pavilion.
"Hiss..." An extremely discordant sound came from a distance.
Amidst the grass and trees, a somewhat disheveled figure trembled and climbed up from the bushes. He held his stomach with one hand and supported his waist with the other. He was so angry that he could only utter a faint voice and shouted to the three people in the pavilion in the distance: "Quick, quick, come and help me..."
The three people in the pavilion looked at each other.
Jiang Jingyuan couldn't go, but she was a little surprised that Jiang Jingjian and Jiang Jinghui didn't move either. They didn't even hesitate. They sat calmly in the pavilion and looked at the purple figure in the distance.
Jiang Jinghui smiled and explained to her softly, "The young lady of the Liu family is there, so it's not appropriate for us to go there."
“……?”
What's inappropriate about this?
Jiang Jingyuan was puzzled and didn't say anything.
Jiang Jingjian, who was standing beside her, also tilted his head and said, "At worst, Jiang Jingzong can just walk back slowly. It's okay, these injuries are normal for us. We've suffered more serious injuries before."
After saying that, Jiang Jingjian looked at her with burning eyes.
Jiang Jingyuan was stunned, not understanding why he was acting like this again. She paused, then carefully savored his words. The corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably. Facing Jiang Jingjian's expectant gaze, she said, "...Thanks for your hard work."
Jiang Jingjian's face suddenly lit up with a smile: "It's not hard."
