Chapter 12 Cooperation and Competition

The sunset is on the west mountain, the red glow reflects the sky, and the setting sun is like blood.

Sanyuanmen is a first-class force in Yongan County. The current sect master is a master of the ninth level of true martial arts. It is said that his combat power has reached an amazing five-star level, and its Taishang sect master is a pseudo-transcendent realm.

Sanyuanmen has a history of over a thousand years. Despite the turbulent wind and rain and the turbulent undercurrent, it has not fallen, but it has become stronger.

Sanyuan Town is a town under the jurisdiction of Sanyuanmen. If it were not for the regulations of the dynasty that each county could only have one city, this Sanyuan Town could also develop into Sanyuan City.

At this time, Sanyuan Town, in terms of prosperousness, is not much worse than that of Linshan City. People come and go, traffic is busy, bustling, and it looks very prosperous. Of course, it is not comparable to Wang Du.

Riding a red-scaled Jiaojiao horse, Chen Zong walked on the wide streets of Sanyuan Town, thinking about where to start all the way.

Is Huaxima Qianli still in the realm of Sanyuanmen?

If so, where exactly are you located?

In addition to Chen Zong, other assessors also entered Sanyuan Town one after another. They either bought news from Fatty Yang Qifeng, or learned the news from other sources.

Sanyuan Restaurant!

This is a restaurant run by people from Sanyuanmen, with Sanyuanmen as the background, almost no one dares to make trouble here, and in the same way, with Sanyuanmen as the background, Sanyuan Restaurant has no deeds of store bullying. , Because no one knows whether the bullied person has an amazing background.

If you provoke someone with a surprising background, it will directly bring huge trouble to Sanyuanmen.

After all, Sanyuan Restaurant is just an industry of Sanyuanmen, an industry that makes money and even collects news.

Chen Zong lived in the Sanyuan Restaurant, and the red-scaled Jiaoma was naturally taken care of by the people from the Sanyuan Restaurant.

This class of horses with extraordinary origins, the people in Sanyuan Restaurant immediately knew that Chen Zong's origins were extraordinary, and they were more careful to entertain them, daring not to be slighted in the slightest.

While ordering food, Chen Zong asked the shop assistant for news, especially the news about Huaxima Qianli.

However, the information was scattered, Chen Zong thought while eating, and sorted out the scattered information.

"for sure,

Hua Xiema Qianli is still within the boundaries of Sanyuanmen, no, it should be said that it is in this Sanyuan Town. "

Chen Zong's eyes twinkled.

"It's just that Sanyuan Town is not small, but I don't know what Huaxima Qianli looks like. Besides, there are many people, and they are willing to hide, where to find it?"

Chen Zong felt very difficult.

The Sword of One Person is looking for a hidden flower, like looking for a needle in a haystack. Chen Zong thought about how to use external force.

The best external force that can be used here is undoubtedly Sanyuanmen.

"Perhaps, it's time to visit Sanyuanmen." Chen Zong secretly said, but he had another headache.

Sanyuanmen is not as good as the royal family, but it is still a first-class force. There are many real martial arts masters, and even some powerhouses such as pseudo-transcendent realm, and Chen Zong is just practicing the strength realm.

The inequality of strength, it is difficult to make Sanyuanmen contribute, unless you pay the corresponding price.

"Haha, Brother Chen, we meet again." The funny-sounding laughter was Fatty Yang Qifeng, who sat down in front of Chen Zong unceremoniously, asked Xiao Er to serve dishes and chopsticks, and ordered a bunch of good wine Good dish.

Seeing Yang Qifeng, Chen Zong is not surprised at all, because the other party's assessment task is also to kill Hua Xie Ma Qianli. In essence, he and Chen Zong are competitors.

"Brother Chen, are you worried about how to find Huaxima Qianli?" Yang Qifeng took a large chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth. He was gobbling up and chewing with a bulging mouth. The strange thing was that he spoke very clearly.

"Brother Yang, don't you have news to tell me?" Chen Zong asked with a smile.

"Haha, it's easy to talk, five dragon teeth." Yang Qifeng laughed again, doing business all the time, and immediately said to himself without waiting for Chen Zong's answer: "Actually, I don't know where Ma Qianli is now. , I can only be sure that he is within this Sanyuan Town."

"However, we can cooperate." Yang Qifeng's eyes gleamed brightly: "As far as I know, there are nine tasks in total, which means that only nine people can complete the task. There is a lot of competition. There are a total of eight people who are chasing down the assessment task of Huaxima Qianli."

"Brother Chen probably doesn't know a hidden rule yet." Yang Qifeng restrained the smile on his face, and his chubby face was stern: "No matter what year it is, although it is not explicitly stated, there are hidden rules in the National Scholar assessment. , that is, we must not rely on external forces beyond the level of training strength."

Hearing this, Chen Zong was surprised.

"If someone violates this without knowing it, they will be disqualified directly." Yang Qifeng said.

"Thank you." Chen Zong said sternly, if Yang Qifeng hadn't told him this, I was afraid that he really wanted to go to Sanyuanmen. With the power of Sanyuanmen, he might even use the power of a true martial artist.

"Also, if I hadn't predicted the mistake, Sanyuanmen has been notified by the royal family that it is not allowed to help the examiners." Yang Qifeng laughed.

Chen Zong was a little stunned when he heard the words, and immediately shook his head and smiled, almost doing nothing.

It has to be said that the dynasty attached great importance to the assessment of national scholars, reaching a very high level.

The external force that every person participating in the assessment can use is too little, too little, and the test of their own ability is extraordinary.

"So I think Fatty, if you want to complete this task in just one month, you need to use the strength of every assessor, cooperate with each other, and first find out the whereabouts of Huaxiema Qianli." Yang Qifeng's analysis is straightforward.

Chen Zong had to admit that under the various restrictions of the royal family, he fell into a situation that was almost helpless.

Compared with others, there is too little information, which is a disadvantage.

Cooperating with others seems to be the only way, unless you are willing to spend a lot of time, but the time limit is one month, the longer it is, the more disadvantageous it is.

As for who can kill Hua Xiema Qianli after finding it and get his head turned over, it depends on the strength of the individual.

Cooperation!

compete!

"Since Brother Chen agrees to cooperate, then I will find other people and gather here later to discuss cooperation matters." Yang Qifeng said.

"You have Brother Yang." Chen Zongdao, Yang Qifeng's appearance is undoubtedly very suitable.

Yang Qifeng was very efficient in his work, and soon, he summoned several other people.

Together with Chen Zong and Yang Qifeng, there are eight in total, and Yu Wenran is one of them.

Seeing Chen Zong, Yu Wenran frowned, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, but he did not have a direct attack.

"Ran Shizi, please take a seat." Yang Qifeng opened a box in the Sanyuan Restaurant for better negotiation: "Our purpose is to assess the task, but under various restrictions, the external force that can be used is very limited. There are very few, and we can only rely on our own abilities, so I suggest that we cooperate to find out the whereabouts of Huaxima Qianli first."

Everyone did not speak, but quietly listened to Yang Qifeng's words.

"As for finding Ma Qianli, who can kill him to get the head, depends on the individual's ability." Yang Qifeng said with a smile.

"I agree." Someone said immediately.

"I agree."

"it is good."

"Then let's cooperate."

In any case, the current cooperation is indeed a more effective way to save time.

Yu Wenran also agreed to cooperate. Among the people present, in terms of combat power, he was the only one who reached the late five-star stage, and was the strongest one, but strong combat power did not mean that he would be able to find Hua Xie Ma Qianli as quickly as possible.

If you can use external force, you only need to be the prince, Sanyuanmen will have to cooperate with the full investigation, or let the experts of the palace dispatch, you can find Ma Qianli in a short time.

Unfortunately, they are all restricted.

"As long as Ma Qianli can be found, with my strength, who can compete with me." Yu Wenran thought to himself, he didn't take the other seven in his eyes because of the gap in strength. After all, the most powerful among the seven , also less than five stars.

"Since everyone has agreed to cooperate, then everyone must do their best." Yang Qifeng, as the initiator of the cooperation, continued: "I propose that now everyone is ready to start looking for Ma Qianli's whereabouts, and we will gather here at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. , no matter whether it is traced or not, let’s share what we have gained.”

After agreeing, everyone got up and left, racing against time.

Chen Zong was walking on the streets of Sanyuan Town, carefully observing the pedestrians around him, while thinking about how to better find Ma Qianli.

"If Ma Qianli knew that he had become a target, he might have hidden it even deeper."

Not only did Chen Zong have a headache, but so did the others.

In the blink of an eye, a night passed, and Chen Zong found nothing.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the eight people came to the box of the Sanyuan Restaurant, which had been reserved by Yang Qifeng for a month.

Each of them looked a little dull, because everyone worked hard all night and investigated from all aspects, but still nothing was gained, and not even a clue was found.

"Don't be discouraged, it's just the first day, we still have time." Yang Qifeng said: "Let me first talk about where to start looking."

After Yang Qifeng finished speaking, others also spoke, and finally concluded.

Three days in a row, still nothing.

"Damn Ma Qianli, hiding so deep." Wang Zhidao was full of anger. If Ma Qianli appeared in front of him, he would probably be cut in half by his knife.

The faces of the others were not very good-looking.

Three days have passed in a month, and it is still uncertain whether Ma Qianli is still staying in Sanyuan Town.

Several times, Yu Wenran had the idea of ​​using external force. Fortunately, when he thought of the result of using external force, he had to suppress that thought, but his face was extremely gloomy.

For three days in a row, Chen Zong didn't have much time to practice. In addition to rest, he was looking for Ma Qianli. He almost walked around Sanyuan Town, and had a clearer understanding of Sanyuan Town.

Take out the information bought from Yang Qifeng with five dragon teeth, open it and read it again.

"Ma Qianli's nickname is Hua Xie, he likes beauty, and he has spoiled many women from good families..." Chen Zong thought about it, but he seemed to have something to catch.
