On a quiet and peaceful night, on the roof of the other courtyard, Muchen and Qin Xue each held a bottle of wine, with some snacks beside them. Muchen took a swig of strong wine, picked up a piece of braised pork, ate it happily, and said with a smile:

"The winemakers in the palace are really good at their craftsmanship. They only used some sweet potatoes to brew such a mellow and delicious wine. I must ask them to make more when I go back. It's so enjoyable!"

Qin Xue took a brief sip and said with a smile: "It is indeed a good wine, even if it is a bit strong, I still like it. Those fruit wines you made, Xiaochen, not only taste good, but also contain very rich spiritual energy."

"If Sister Xue likes it, you can brew it yourself. Anyway, I have written down the brewing method."

"When I have free time, I will definitely give it a try."

Qin Xue glanced at the calm night sky in the distance and said, "It's so quiet tonight!"

"Yes, the time for making noise has passed, and it's time for them to be quiet for a few days. After all, after digging such a big hole, they still need some cover-up."

"Think about it, we are really disgusting. We know that they are digging a hole, but we still pretend not to know, and even... help them. Finally, we still have to jump in hypocritically. If they know the truth, they will definitely hate it.

Let us die." There was some gloating on Qin Xue's plain face.

"What? Sister Xue doesn't like this feeling?"

After Qin Xue hesitated, she smiled evilly and said, "I like it!"

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. Qingshan City had spent seven days of 'peace'. Due to Muchen's strong publicity, the news of the treasure hunting competition had already spread throughout the streets and alleys of Qingshan City. Many casinos also took the opportunity to open gambling bureaus.

Zhenshan Palace is naturally the most popular seed force in the competition.

The treasure hunting competition was held in the square of the City Lord's Mansion. Those invited were some of the forces participating in the competition, as well as several powerful men with relatively high status.

As a party organizing this competition, Muchen has gained a lot in the past few days. The registration fee for each force is 1 million gold coins. So far, there are 16 forces participating in the registration, and the registration fee received is

For 16 million gold coins, Muchen did not need to provide any venue or prepare any facilities. It could be said that he was a white wolf with nothing. He got 16 million gold coins, which made Muchen very happy.

To this end, Muchen has also specially added rewards for the third to fifth place, which are high-level exercises and martial arts respectively, which also gives those forces who have paid money some hope.

On the day of the competition, Qingshan City can be said to be bustling with people. There are countless good people who want to enter the City Lord's Mansion to watch the competition. However, this is the City Lord's Mansion after all. Naturally, it is impossible to enter and exit at will. Since they can't get in, those civilians who have nowhere to vent,

They can only besieged around the city lord's palace.

"Look, that's the Qian family in the north of the city. It's said that they also participated in this competition."

"What, the Qian family dares to participate in the competition! The Qian family is also a second-rate family. There are not many martial arts warriors in the family. How can you have the courage to participate in the competition?"

"What do you know? This competition is organized by the Zhenshan Prince's Mansion. Even if you don't get the ranking, it is still good to become familiar with the Zhenshan Prince's Mansion. If the younger disciples can be valued by the Zhenshan Prince, they will be prosperous.

Already..."

"Oh, that's it. I guess a lot of forces are here to get familiar with each other..."

There are indeed many forces with this idea. First of all, 1 million gold coins may be an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but for some nobles with a little wealth, they can easily spend this amount of money to participate in this competition.

For them, the price is not big, but compared with it, the benefits are too many. Not only can they improve their reputation in Qingshan City, but they can also become familiar with Zhenshan Palace directly. If they are in the competition,

My juniors can still win a few games, which will also be bragging rights in the future. It can be said that there is no harm at all.

It is also because of this that there are so many forces that have signed up, and the same is true for Muchen. If the mysterious person sees that the people participating are so complicated, then the probability that he is willing to appear will also increase. If the forces in the competition are so

Several, mysterious people may choose not to show up in order to hide their identities, which is not what Muchen wants to see.

"Look, they are people from the Flame Mercenary Group and the Nine Snakes Mercenary Group. It is said that the two mercenary groups suddenly reached a reconciliation a few days ago and merged into one mercenary group. Now, they are

Qingshan City is the well-deserved first mercenary group."

"Oh, the Zhu family is here too. Thanks to the relationship with the Zhang family, the Zhu family is really proud..."

After many forces appeared one by one, Muchen appeared at the end of the street with the Hidden Dragon Army!

"Look, it's the Hidden Dragon Army! Oh my god, is this the most elite army in the empire? It's really as powerful as a rainbow!!!"

Amid the sighs of many civilians, the Qianlong Army took over the guarding of the city lord's palace and surrounded the entire square to ensure the safety of the competition.

When Muchen rode the black wildebeest and walked out of the queue, two neat rows of soldiers immediately followed him, following Muchen all the time. These soldiers, without exception, were all very young and were obviously contestants in this competition.

Muchen Qi walked to the square and took his seat in an impressive manner. Zhou Yu of the Zhou family and Zhang Tianhe of the Zhang family had been waiting for a long time.

"I have met the prince."

"I've met the prince!"

After a simple greeting, Muchen didn't pay any attention to them. He went to the main seat and sat down, saying, "Okay, don't be polite. I am pressed for time, so let's start the competition quickly. The rules are very simple. Every time

Each force sends a representative to draw lots. The force that draws the number 1 will fight against the force that draws the number 16, and so on. After each determines its opponent, both sides will send 5 contestants to compete in 5 games. The winner will get one.

points, and the loser will not score. After one round of competition, lots will be drawn again to determine the opponent's competition. After the second round, the two forces at the bottom of the score will be eliminated until the champion is determined. Life or death in the arena does not matter. Surrender or die.

Being comatose and losing the ability to fight are all failures, do you understand?"

The rules are simple and clear. All participating forces have no objections and are ready. Each of the 16 forces sent representatives to draw lots. The representative of Zhenshan Palace is naturally Muchen.

Muchen was the first to take out a piece of paper. After unfolding it, it read "3". In other words, the force that drew the number 14 would be the first opponent of Zhenshan Palace. All the forces immediately chanted silently in their hearts, never draw the number 14.

14. After all, no one wants to have their head shaved as soon as they come up.

Zhang Tianhe drew 9 and Zhou Yu drew 5. The three most promising forces did not encounter each other in the first round.

Soon, Muchen's opponent was decided, and he was a second-rate nobleman from Qingshan City. He saw this guy holding a piece of paper with a dead look on his face and walking down the ring lonely.

At the end of the draw, a beautiful woman on the side said: "Okay, please invite the forces who drew the number 1 and the forces who drew the number 16 to come on stage to fight and send out the first opponent."

When the game started, Muchen took out several cylindrical metal tubes and placed them around. Zhang Tianhe asked curiously: "My lord, what are you doing? The game has started."

Muchen did not hide anything and said: "I, the king, are arranging a defensive formation. These are formation disks arranged by the formation. With a simple placement, a small defensive formation can be released. They are very precious props.

"

"Hahaha, why is the prince setting up a defensive formation? How could anyone dare to assassinate the prince in the city lord's palace?" Zhang Tianhe's eyes did not hide his timid ridicule towards Muchen.

Muchen nodded and said: "Of course, I have always felt that your City Lord's Mansion is the most unsafe place in the entire Qingshan City, so it naturally requires some defensive measures."

"Oh, since the prince doesn't think it's safe, why? He still wants to hold the competition in the city lord's palace."

"That's because I believe that you, City Master Zhang, are incompetent enough. If you were City Master Zhang, it would be absolutely impossible for you to kill me, because you are weak enough and conceited! I have set up a defensive barrier to guard against others.

, City Lord Zhang, do you have any objections? If so, you can raise them now, and I can beat you until you... have no objections!"

Zhang Tianhe's face turned red, his fists were clenched, and his anger level was instantly full, and he said: "Then I wish the prince a long life!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely live longer than you."

As he spoke, he continued to set up the formation. Qin Xue stood aside, a little speechless, and could only pretend to watch the game seriously.

After setting up the formation, the first game on the arena has already decided the winner. Both sides are new to the human martial arts realm. They seem to be full of spiritual power, but their destructive power is not strong, and their moves and martial arts are not bright. Muchen did not watch.

The desire to go down.

Muchen took out a large watermelon from the storage bag, placed it on the table, and cut it open.

Cui'er, who was standing behind her as a maid, first smelled the sweet fragrance of watermelon and said, "Your Majesty, what is this? It has green skin and red flesh, and there are small black things inside. It looks so beautiful.

And it’s very fragrant, it must be spiritual food, right?”

"You're a foodie, you seem to be very sensitive to what you eat."

Guan Susu quickly stopped her and said, "Cui'er, please pay attention to your identity. We are all the prince's maids. Don't lie."

"Miss, it's okay. Your Majesty is the best. You must be willing to share some of it with us, right..." After saying that, he ran to Muchen's side, grabbed Muchen's arm and acted coquettishly, holding the weapon on his chest, and started to riot wantonly.

"Okay, okay, I'll just give it to you, I'm such a foodie." Continuing to cut a few pieces, Muchen first handed it to Qin Xuet and said: "Sister Xue, a new variety of high-quality spiritual food, cool and refreshing, can relieve the heat.

Come and try it."

Qin Xue was not polite and said, "How do you eat this?"

"You can eat all the red pulp, but you can't eat the small black pellets, but you can't waste it. Pay attention to collecting it. Take it, snack lover, this is for you, and you can also get a piece of Susu."

Cui'er took the watermelon and couldn't wait to take a bite. The juice splashed everywhere, refreshing and sweet. It was simply delicious. For a moment, the three women were captured by the delicious taste of the watermelon, and the life aura contained in it also made people enjoy it endlessly.

"Wow, what kind of spiritual fruit is this? It's delicious, even better than apples. Your Majesty, you are so kind. Cui'er is willing to be your maid forever..."

Qin Xue was also quite satisfied and said: "It's indeed delicious. Xiao Chen, remember to prepare more for me in the future."

Muchen naturally agreed, eating watermelon and watching the battle at the same time. It was really a kind of luxury.

At this time, the outcome of the first game has been decided. One of the forces has 4 wins and 1 loss, and scored 4 points, which can be said to be an outstanding record. After that, in the second game, the two forces also went on the field to fight. It was not a big deal.

What’s interesting is that one of the forces has three wins and two losses, narrowly beating the other party.

Next, it was Muchen's turn to appear. At this time, the second-rate nobleman of Qingshan City, Muchen's opponent, took the lead to step onto the ring and said: "The Qian family in Qingshan City has too much money. I hope that the prince can agree to give me a

I’m sorry.”

"tell me the story."

"I heard that all the generals in the Qianlong Army are rare talents. I am honored to fight today. I hope that the prince can send a soldier who is similar to me to fight, so that I can better understand the power of the Qianlong Army.

."

Muchen nodded and said: "It is reasonable and reasonable. I agree to this request. Tell me your strength."

"Money is superfluous, 26 years old, at the second level of human martial arts realm."

Upon hearing the news, Muchen expressed his helplessness, frowned, and remained silent for a long time.

Qian Duoduo: "Your Majesty, do you disagree with me?"
