After the Failed Assassination[Transmigration Book]

Chapter 12

Five days later, the competition among the disciples of the Qiuhe Hall was on its third day.

On the martial arts viewing platform, Ruan Yanjun sat upright on a golden soft couch shaped like a flying dragon, Zhang Yun stood behind him, and the two silently watched a high platform built in the middle of the school field, which was specially set up for disciples to compete in martial arts , There are two people on the stage who are fighting with each other, both sides are showing their abilities.

There are more than 30 disciples under the Qiuhe Hall, including more than [-] disciples from the inner sect, and about [-] people participated in the competition. At the beginning, they were compared in pairs according to their seniority and merit, and [-] winners were selected, and these [-] people were asked to fight again. , and finally there were [-] people left, and they started to fight in the ring.

The first one to play, if he loses early, it's nothing. If he is a truly capable disciple, he will inevitably suffer a big loss due to exhaustion after fighting one after another.

Therefore, taking turns to fight like this, in addition to testing the disciple's progress and fighting skills, it is also a great challenge to his endurance and character. If he is not careful, he will end up defeated. To win the championship, not only must the strength be extraordinary , stand out from the crowd, and sometimes even need a little luck.

Zhang Yun, the protagonist in "Flowering Debt", also participated in the competition. He made a lot of preparations and used a lot of tricks to win the leader, and then he had the opportunity to accompany Ruan Yanjun.

This matter can also show that if the disciples in the sect want to improve their status, the Dabi is not only the only way to go, but also a shortcut to climb up. Not only do they have to fight, but they must also dare to fight and be good at fighting. Early days.

Ruan Yanjun said to Zhang Yun: "Why do you have to stand, you can come and sit with me."

Zhang Yun's mind moved, he knew that Ruan Yanjun's intentions were good, but he didn't dare to overstep the rules, and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Brother Yu, just stand there."

Ruan Yanjun smiled lightly, and didn't force him, and kept his eyes on the competition stage.

Zhang Yun also smiled. Sometimes he himself felt ridiculous, and even suspected that he might be a bit masochistic. Ruan Yanjun was too kind to him, but it made him panic. If he is clearly an advanced young man who traveled from the 21st century, I don’t know if it’s because I have been influenced by the cultural legacy of father and son, monarch and ministers for more than 20 years, the feudal thinking of rules and regulations in my mind is too deep-rooted, or I am always worried that I am not worthy of this kindness.From this point of view, the protagonist in the original work is actually much more enlightened than him. He doesn't pay attention to class constraints and etiquette at all, but unfortunately overturns in the end and ends up tragically. Wang Baikou, Zongjian fights, isn't it a kind of chic and happy life?

But Zhang Yun knew in his heart that such a life was not the path he pursued.

What he still doesn't understand is, what kind of path is he pursuing?

On the competition stage, a young man in white clothes who looked like a scholar had fought more than ten people in a row since he entered the arena. The weapon he used was a jasper streamer thorn, and green shadows floated between the swings. But it is to break the opponent's defense again and again, and there is no disadvantage.This person is riding Juechen, if there is no accident, he must be the one who won today.

Zhang Yun silently stared at the stage, looked at the jasper streamer thorn, slightly frowned, this thing made him feel a little familiar, where did he see it?

Suddenly, his heart moved, and then it suddenly dawned on him that not only was this thing familiar to him, but this handsome young man in white should actually have some predestined relationship with him.The name of this young man is Gu Mengzhi. According to the "Flowers' Debt", he was born in the Gu family and is Gu Ji's cousin. Scheduling later became Zhang Yun's confidant. When Zhang Yun wanted to seize power, many plans were successfully implemented because of his help.

However, Cheng Ye is also defeated. Gu Mengzhi assisted Zhang Yun on the surface, but in fact he was doing two-way business. He was always weighing the strength of Zhang Yun and Ruan Yanjun in his heart. So he revealed some clues to Ruan Yanjun without hesitation. He sold favors to show his loyalty, but he didn't involve himself in it. In the end, Zhang Yun's deeds were revealed, but he was still leisurely, although he had no chance of promotion. , but life can be regarded as leisurely and carefree, and the Gu family has therefore maintained auspiciousness and wealth for a long time.

Zhang Yun clicked his tongue secretly, although these things haven't happened yet, and nine out of ten they won't happen, but he still feels delicate and doesn't know how to look at this person for a moment.

Ruan Yanjun seemed to be aware of his subtle emotional changes, and asked at the right time: "What's on your mind?"

Zhang Yun couldn't be perfunctory, and said: "I really remembered something."

Ruan Yanjun smiled slightly: "Oh? I don't know what kind of thing it is?"

Zhang Yun also said with a smile: "Seeing the emergence of new talents in the school, I am a little emotional."

Ruan Yanjun said: "That's how I watched you compete with others. Now you are my Dharma protector. Times have changed, the future is mysterious, and opportunities are unpredictable. It is indeed a sigh."

Zhang Yundao: "Exactly. Therefore, Brother Yu will inevitably feel a sense of crisis. I am afraid that if he slackens off for a while, the younger generation will catch up and surpass him."

Ruan Yanjun shook his head with a smile, and said: "It's good to be self-motivated, but apart from improving your skills, there are some things that my virtuous brother should also pay attention to."

Zhang Yun was puzzled: "Oh? Please advise me, brother."

Ruan Yanjun said: "You have also reached the age to start a family, do you have someone who suits you?"

Zhang Yun was taken aback for a moment, he never expected that he would be urged to ask about such a thing even though he had traveled through time.

Zhang Yun replied truthfully: "There is no one inadvertently."

Ruan Yanjun raised his chin, pointed to the competition platform, and said, "What do you think of this disciple of the Gu family?"

Zhang Yun was stunned, he thought Ruan Yanjun was going to introduce him a cute girl, but he didn't expect Ruan Yanjun to take care of his sexual orientation, the one he wanted to introduce to him was not a cute girl at all, but a real man!

Ruan Yanjun said: "If you are interested in him, I will help you find a matchmaker. In order to marry me, the Gu family did not hesitate to send the patriarch's daughter-in-law to me as a concubine. If I say this, they will definitely agree. of."

Zhang Yun's throat was dry, and he refused with difficulty: "Thank you for your kindness, brother, but my younger brother thinks that this matter requires mutual sympathy. Although this disciple of the Gu family is amazing and talented, it's not something I can force him to see." To submit, you have to be willing to do it."

Ruan Yanjun nodded appreciatively: "Okay, if he wins, I'll point him out to you as your deputy, and let you get along with each other on your own, okay?"

Zhang Yun reluctantly agreed: "...OK."

Zhang Yun prayed silently in his heart, and sincerely hoped that this Gu Mengzhi would not win, not win.It's not that he deliberately cursed the opponent for defeat, it's just that he really doesn't want this person to be his deputy. After all, he has read the script. Even if he is not the same person as Zhang Yun in the book, it is difficult to be indifferent. Not to mention cultivating a relationship with the other party, even if you are simply a colleague, you can't help but be more careful.He was embarrassed to reject Ruan Yanjun, so he could only hope that God would open his eyes.

But God always won't open his eyes. It's better to say that God likes to play with people. The more you are afraid of things, the faster they will happen.Gu Mengzhi still won and defeated the last challenger. Linfeng stood on the high platform with a heroic posture and fluttering clothes. He first saluted towards the martial arts platform, and then smiled at everyone in the audience.This person has a jade-like appearance and an excellent demeanor. This smile is as warm as a breeze, which attracted some female disciples to praise him and cheer him up.

Zhang Yun was very nervous, cold sweat broke out in his palms.Gu Mengzhi floated down from the martial arts stage, came to the two of them, knelt down on one knee, and respectfully called out: "Hall Master, Protector Zhang."

Ruan Yanjun raised his hand in vain, and said to him, "Get up."

Gu Mengzhi stood up according to his words.

Ruan Yanjun sized him up carefully, then turned to Zhang Yun with a smile and said, "This man is not bad."

Because of his face, Zhang Yun bit the bullet and nodded.

Ruan Yanjun said to Gu Mengzhi: "In this big competition, if you can win the first place, in addition to the general rewards, you should also be given a job. I will ask you to be Zhang Hufa's deputy. Would you like it?"

Gu Mengzhi cupped his hands, without any intention of refusing, and said happily: "The disciple is willing, thank the hall master."

Zhang Yun forced a smile, and said to Gu Mengzhi: "Since this is the case, you and I will be colleagues in the future, so you don't have to be polite with me, just work for the hall master together."

Gu Mengzhi clasped his hands and said, "Yes, this disciple respects Zhang Hufa's teachings."

Zhang Yun suddenly got a deputy, and his life hasn't changed much. Originally, he didn't have many things to protect the law. His main duty is to protect Ruan Yanjun's safety, maintain the order and stability in Qiuhe Hall, and sometimes fight against others in place of Ruan Yanjun. , or socializing, but generally speaking, these things are rare, so he can spend most of his time practicing swords.As for the new Lengtouqing, Zhang Yun sent him to run errands to familiarize himself with the affairs of the hall.

It's just that Zhang Yun thinks so, but others don't.In the past few months, gossip about Zhang Yun has been circulating in Ruan Yanjun's backyard. Since his black information has not been updated for a long time, the crowd has been languid and unable to arouse enthusiasm. After Gu Meng came to power, Zhang Yun The heat suddenly rose again.Ruan Yanjun's concubines moved small stools, ate tea, snacks, and melon seeds, and gathered together to gossip.

Wei Ji was quite annoyed by this matter, and said: "What does the hall master mean by this move? Could it be that he is tired of that protector Zhang and wants to find an honest person to take over the job for the surnamed Zhang? It is obvious that Mengzhi is sister Gu's hall Brother, he won the Dabi again, instead of arranging an urgent job for Mengzhi, he used it to please his Dharma protectors, isn't he trying to save the Gu family's face?"

She and Gu Ji have always been on good terms, even if she said some angry words, it was not to provoke, but to grievance for Gu Ji from the bottom of her heart.But Gu Ji said sullenly: "Stop talking like that, if it gets out, others will come to trouble you instead. The hall master has deep thoughts, who knows what he is thinking, you and I don't need to speculate. "

Cai Ji sneered: "Sister Gu is right, why bother to guess what the hall master is thinking? If you have that spare time, why not come and drink the lotus seed soup I stewed. They didn't move over there, so we have to bear it no matter how unconvinced, Do you have to suffer a big loss like I did before before you can be satisfied? If you want me to say, don’t worry about other things, it’s better to take care of yourself.”

Wei Ji thought for a while, nodded, and sighed: "That's true, the last time the surname Zhang made sister Cai suffer a lot, but sister was able to bear it much more than before, and she hasn't avenged her yet. "

Cai Ji sighed: "I don't know when I will have a chance. If I wait any longer, I will forget about it."

Wei Ji's eyes flashed, and she said, "I wonder if I can ask Mengzhi to help me figure out a solution?"

Gu Ji hurriedly said: "It's not going to work, we should not involve him in our affairs. Although he doesn't have to be reused now, his position is still considered a high position. As long as he can go smoothly and make no major mistakes, he will always be able to succeed in the future." when."

After hearing this, Wei Ji reluctantly nodded: "That's true."

While they were chatting here, a female waitress came up from a distance, and when she got closer, she greeted them with a blessing and said with a slight smile, "Which one is Lady Cai?"

The maid and the others had never met before, so they were a little confused. Cai Ji asked puzzledly, "I am, sir, can you call me?"

The maid said: "It's not the hall master, I am the maidservant of Mr. Gu Mengzhi under Zhang Hufa. I came to invite Mrs. Cai in the name of our Mr. Gu."

Cai Ji: "Huh?"

Gu Ji also looked at the waitress a few more times, but the girl didn't seem to have any intention of saying anything, so she left after inviting Cai Ji.Cai Ji went away, and it took two hours before she turned back. When she came back, her face was flushed, she was not happy, but angry.
