Chapter 709: Burn the Boats



Gu Yunru puffed out her chest proudly and spoke to him in a commanding tone.

"Hey..." Rong Zhen saw his footsteps walking away so quickly, shook his head helplessly, and tried hard to catch up with him.

Shu'er had already fallen asleep when Ji Heng visited her. He wanted to tiptoe to cover her with a blanket, but he suddenly opened his eyes again.

"Madam, what did the princess say to you just now?" Ji Heng observed Gu Yunru, who was in a rage. She seemed to know something and was very angry.

"My aunt already knows that I'm pregnant. She thinks I'm disobedient, so she's angry with me. I don't know how to explain to my aunt. I said all the nice things to her and she barely stopped being angry. But I still feel a little sorry for her." Shu'er's face turned very ugly when she thought of Gu Yunru. She would never lose her temper easily, unless she really encountered something that made her furious, then she would lose her temper.

"So that's how it is, but it's already happened and there's nothing we can do about it. You stay home and take good care of your baby. The martial arts conference will start soon, and I have to stay nearby."

"Can't you just stay with me? Ever since I became pregnant, I've been feeling uneasy, especially after hearing what my aunt said. She said that my body can't conceive, but I don't know what to do..." Shu'er is now also confused, especially after hearing what Gu Yunru said, which left her with a psychological trauma. Although this child makes her feel good, there are many uncertainties.

"Silly girl, you will be fine. Besides, your physical condition has always been good, how could there be any problem?" Ji Heng thought she was worrying too much and didn't know that she had bone marrow pain syndrome. He touched her head lovingly, coaxed her to sleep, and then strolled to the study.

While he was busy with official duties, a servant came up and handed a letter on the desk. It turned out that the newly appointed official had been strangled to death by the people of Du Zun faction on the way, and only the body was delivered. Originally, this Lord Cao was going to come to Qizhou City to serve as the prefect and county magistrate. Finally, someone took over his position, but he didn't expect to be killed by that group of people on the way.

"Sir, what should we do next?" The servant knelt down and looked at Ji Heng. In just half a year, two officials had died. They wanted to come to Qizhou City to take over, but they didn't expect to be ambushed when they walked to the official road. "

"Forget it, let's put the manpower in the city on hold for now and don't send anyone over for the time being."

"yes."

Ji Heng watched the servant walk away and took a breath helplessly. The best plan now was to wait until the martial arts conference was over and completely wipe out the people of the Du Zun faction before he could safely hand over the position to someone else.

In the blink of an eye, the martial arts competition was about to begin, but a young man dressed differently came into the crowd with a sword in his hand. Xiangping and Xueer were busy with the affairs of the conference. When they saw the inconspicuous Ding Ning in the crowd, they were stunned. "Xueer, am I seeing things? Is that Ding Ning?"

"It seems so. Isn't Young Master Ding not interested in this martial arts conference? Why did you come here?"

Xue'er and Xiangping looked at each other and found it very interesting. Xiangping walked up to Ding Ning and proudly put his hands on his chest, "Young Master Ding, you saved me last time and left in a hurry. I didn't have time to thank you.

Why, did you come here to hear me say thank you in person? "Xiang Ping knew that Ding Ning, this weirdo, was not humorous at all, so she didn't respond to her words.

"Forget it, forget it. Don't tell me you just came here to watch. What do you want to do?"

Ding Ning looked at Xiang Ping expressionlessly and said, "I came here to win a thousand gold coins. I heard that the person who wins first place here can win a thousand gold coins. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Of course it's true. It's our honor that Young Master Ding is willing to participate in the competition." Xue'er walked up and handed him the brush. As long as he wrote his name on the score, he would be eligible to participate in the competition. At that time, they would be arranged to compete against each other based on the disparity in strength between them. It would be interesting to see then.

Xiang Ping glanced at Xue Er and complained, "This guy was holding his nose up to our martial arts competition before, and now he's saying he wants to participate. I think he's here just for the thousand gold!"

"Having said that, if Young Master Ding is able to participate in the competition, it will attract more martial arts heroes. After all, everyone wants to find an opponent with whom they can fight to a draw." Xue'er is very smart and naturally thought of all this. She led Ding Ning to the back seat to wait and see, and would automatically choose who to compete against him at that time.

Gu Yunru and Rong Zhen casually flipped through the booklet, and were surprised to see Ding Ning's name.

Xue'er walked forward with a peaceful smile on her face.

Xue'er is specifically responsible for recording the wins and losses of the competition, as well as caring about those people. Some of the heroes who came to participate in the martial arts competition this time came from various sects, and it seemed that they wanted to revive their sect's traditions, while some also represented themselves to dominate the martial arts world. Everyone had different purposes, but this martial arts conference could be said to have created enough hype.

Gu Yunru looked at the names of those people and wanted to find a few female players. If the female players competed with the male players together, it would be a bit unfair, so she would put the people from the Ying Sect and the Kongtong Sect together.

"I wonder if there is anyone here who can use the Nine Yin White Bone Claw." Gu Yunru looked at the list and actually laughed to herself. Xue'er walked up and sat aside, and said softly: "What is the Nine Yin White Bone Claw? I have never heard of it."

"Of course you haven't heard of it. If you had, I would be the one who would be surprised. This is a long-lost martial art!"

Gu Yunru nervously recalled the past martial arts experiences. She didn't expect that she would have the honor to watch these heroes gather together to compete.

"Round one! Begin!"

When the host at the competition venue knocked the basket, everyone's interest increased and they all stood by and watched the scene excitedly.

The audience below the stage were packed like sardines in a can. Some seemed to have come from other places just to watch this game.

"It's time to start." Gu Yunru sat aside excitedly, only regretting that she didn't have some popcorn in her hands. Xiangping put the dried fruits prepared for her on the table and brewed a pot of the best West Lake Longjing tea.
