The vicious senior brother dressed as the male protagonist

The person in charge said angrily: "Yes, come and register."

Compared with the selection of inner sect disciples in Tianling Mountain, the selection rules for Bailu City Guards are much simpler and rougher.The person in charge brought everyone to the spacious martial arts arena, and then announced in a perfunctory manner: "Find someone to compete with yourself. Those who lose will leave the arena. The winners will continue to compete until there are only twenty people left."

There was an uproar among the people participating in the selection: "What kind of bullshit rules are these?"

"This rule was made by someone in the City Lord's Mansion who has no brains?"

There is no limit to the number of trials for each person, and there is no limit to the opponent, isn't it just letting them fight at will?At that time, wouldn't it be a disadvantage for those who have more trials?

After announcing the rules, the person in charge withdrew from the arena, sat under a tree to enjoy the shade and went to watch the play.

There are people who oppose the rules, and naturally there are people who support the rules.A middle-aged man with a fleshy face said impatiently: "A group of people with low bloodlines dare to talk nonsense here? There is so much nonsense, let me see that you will never be selected for the Bailu City Guards."

Immediately, someone sarcastically said: "It's just a bit of Xuanwu blood, I really think I'm superior to others."

The middle-aged man who spoke first was of mixed blood. Due to his weak basalt blood, he was classified as a medium bloodline.On weekdays, he has always supported the rule of the City Lord's Mansion, hoping that one day he can be accepted by the Xuanwu clan and enter the City Lord's Mansion to enjoy himself.

It's a pity that his cultivation talent is too poor. After so many years of mixing, he is only a sixth-level Golden Core, and he didn't even enter the Bailu City Guards.

The middle-aged man glanced at him, and said disdainfully: "Seeing that you are also a Jindan stage, the totem is not bad, I don't care about it with you." Then he dug out the captain's son from the crowd with his fingers: "This kid in the integration period, dare to compete with so many of our Golden Core monks?"

Then, he attacked a lot of people indiscriminately: "And what is this totem? Water snake? What about that? The kid who came in last, Jindan section, what kind of fish is the totem?"

Shen Xiuyuan was personally attacked, and couldn't help but angrily said: "Let go..."

He is relatively well-bred, and the curse words twitched on his lips. Before he could say it, he heard the captain's son retort loudly for him: "What kind of shit are you talking about? We think there is a problem with the rules. Why does it matter?"

Shen Xiuyuan looked at the other party with interest, but unexpectedly, the captain's son's next sentence would be a bluff, "I won't compare with you!" He turned around and left sternly.

Shen Xiuyuan: ...

The middle-aged man said disdainfully: "Sure enough, there is no such thing as low-level blood." He looked at Shen Xiuyuan and said with a grinning smile, "I want to compete with a few people today. Who should I start with? Why don't I start with you."

Not only did he strongly support the rules established by the City Lord's Mansion, but he also found a way to win under such rules, that is, try to find soft persimmons with lower cultivation bases than him.Although the person from the integration period just ran away, isn't there someone else here?

Before the words fell, the long sword stabbed at Shen Xiuyuan directly, without paying attention to him at all, and wanted to start a war with him!

"Hold on."

When the tip of the sword reached Shen Xiuyuan, two fingers suddenly stretched out from the side and clamped the blade.

It's Meng Qian.

The other party raised his eyebrows at him, and seemed to be in a good mood: "Senior brother." Then he continued to use his fingers to bend the blade.The middle-aged man's face changed, and he tried to pull out the sword forcefully, but there was a "crack" sound, and the blade was broken by Meng Chen.

Meng Qin said in a deep voice, "I'll fight you."

When playing the role of a patient in Tianling Mountain, Shen Xiuyuan absorbed some of the spiritual power from the spiritual stones accumulated by the original owner and formed a golden pill, so as to better cooperate with the male protagonist in the next tasks.

Then, he distributed the remaining spirit stones to the brothers and sisters of Wuwei Peak.As for the unabsorbed spiritual power of the green dragon's remnant soul in the sea of ​​qi, he didn't use it, lest his cultivation level increase too quickly, which would arouse the male lead's suspicion.

Therefore, in Meng Chen's eyes, Shen Xiuyuan is nothing more than a golden core.It might be dangerous if you confront that middle-aged man directly.

Meng Qin threw away the half-truncated sword, and glanced at the shallow mark on his fingertips that was scratched by the blade without any trace, and felt some inexplicable strangeness in his heart.

He actually took the initiative to help Shen Xiuyuan.

They used to be endless enemies, but now... they should be regarded as normal colleagues.

[Male lead favorability value +5, current favorability value: 15. 】

Shen Xiuyuan held the bone whip that hadn't been thrown out yet, and also looked at Meng Qin with some surprise: "...Thank you."

Afterwards, he felt relieved.After working diligently for so many days, I finally received the reward from the hero!

Meng Chen easily knocked down the middle-aged man with Xuanwu blood, threw him into the martial arts arena, and started to challenge other people non-stop.Although at least half of the people who came to participate in the selection of the imperial guards had the cultivation base of the Jindan stage, they had no resistance at all in the shadow of swords and swords.

Many people who participated in the selection were both surprised and afraid, and kept away from Meng Chen more and more.

Someone scolded secretly: "You are good at lightness kung fu and good at swordsmanship. Why are you here to join in the fun with the damn Bailu City Guards? Why don't you go to the 'Ni' organization to make a living?"

Shen Xiuyuan originally imagined that he would justly assist the male lead just like he did in Tianling Mountain, so as to gain a wave of favorability.But I didn't expect the hero to make rapid progress, the cannon fodder is too rubbish, and he is not the hero's all-in-one enemy at all.

So he can only challenge other people with his hands, eliminate more cannon fodder on the field, and relieve the pressure on the hero.

In fact, the hero underestimated him.After all, he is a person with the oiran vest in the Nascent Soul stage, and he has used the oiran vest several times in the "Ni" organization. The actual combat experience has exceeded the scope of the "elder brother".

Moreover, the vest of the "Big Brother" still has the unabsorbed spiritual power of the remnant soul of the Qinglong. If he really made a move, many people with higher cultivation levels would be defeated by him.

The captain's son, who had pissed off the middle-aged man just now, walked tremblingly on his way out of the martial arts arena.He saw that his cultivation was the lowest among the crowd, and the rules were against him, so after bluffing, he sternly ran towards the exit.

Unexpectedly, before he left the martial arts arena, several Jindan cultivators stared at him with staring eyes like hungry wolves.

As long as one more person is eliminated, they will have more hope of staying!

The captain's son was terrified and kept running.Unexpectedly, the busier and more chaotic he became, his feet were unsteady, and he tripped over a stone on the ground.Those people gathered spiritual power in their hands and rushed towards him in an instant, intending to eliminate him on the spot!

Seeing that he was about to be seriously injured, his eyes showed despair, but his body suddenly lightened. Someone grabbed his collar and lifted him up.

Although Meng Chen was holding a person in his hand, he still stepped back three feet easily, dodging all the attacks, and mocked with a flamboyant attitude: "Use more to bully the less, and don't care about people."

"It's you?" Those people backed away with fear in their eyes.

The captain's son breathed a sigh of relief, but he heard Meng Chen's tone cold and authentic: "Stand up."

He stood up in a hurry, patted the dirt on his body, and smiled wryly at Meng Chen, "Thank you...thank you. My talent is not good, and I practice very slowly. My father asked me to participate in the selection of the imperial guards. But my cultivation base is too low. , I can’t beat anyone, so I can only run away. If I can, I don’t want to be afraid of them anymore..."

Meng Chen said rather impersonally: "This continent believes in the power of the strong. If you don't want to disappoint your father, you should practice hard after returning from here. When you have a higher level of cultivation than them, not only do you not have to be afraid, you may even And replace them."

The captain's son gritted his teeth and said firmly, "I understand."

Not long after, there were only the last twenty people left on the field.

The person in charge said boredly: "It's over, it's over!"

He still wanted to watch the excitement, but he didn't expect that the whole competition was completely dominated by Meng Chen, so boring!

He opened the fence gate of the martial arts arena, let the twenty people out, and announced loudly: "You have passed the selection, and you have already entered the Bailu City Guards."

He ordered ten people with his hands: "There is a patrol mission to the City Lord's Mansion in the afternoon, you guys follow me. When you come back, change to another group."

Shen Xiuyuan and Meng Chen were separated.Shen Xiuyuan went to patrol near the city lord's mansion, while Meng Wei temporarily rested in the camp, waiting for a shift change in a few hours.

Meng Qin seized this opportunity to walk around the camp, checking the map and deployment.Not long after, a messenger talisman quietly floated into his pocket, and after reading the contents, his face darkened.

On the summoning talisman, Mu Wutong wrote: "Brother Meng, during this period of time, according to your request, I have asked almost all the disciples of Wuwei Peak without telling the senior brother and others. The strange thing is that no one has seen the big brother. Senior brother and junior junior sister appear at the same time."

At the same time, Shen Xiuyuan also received a system prompt.

[Ding dong!The male lead received a message from his younger brother, and confirmed that the senior brother and junior junior sister did not appear at the same time.The hero's doubts about your identity deepened, but he couldn't catch evidence that you changed your vest.The hero's favorability value is -5, and the current favorability value is 10. 】

Shen Xiuyuan:? ! !

How could such a thing happen?The 5 favorability points he worked so hard to earn are gone?

However, although he was surprised by this result, he was not surprised.In the original book, the male protagonist is a cautious character. If he finds any clues, he will definitely try his best to find out the truth.Ever since he was prompted by the system that "the male lead is suspicious of your explanation", Shen Xiuyuan vaguely expected that his vest would be exposed by the male lead sooner or later.

After being exposed, there should be two consequences.One is that the male protagonist’s favorability value is too low, thinking that he has ulterior motives and deliberately approaching the other party, and directly classifies him as an enemy; the second is that the male protagonist’s favorability value for him is still up to standard, so he is kept in the safe zone called "friends" inside.If he handles it properly, the favorability value may increase even more.

Therefore, he must seize the time to increase the hero's favorability value, so that he will have the opportunity to follow the hero through the plot.

·

Those who pass the selection will become members of the Bailu City Guards and will stay overnight in the camp.The room prepared for them by the imperial guards was a Datong bunk, and twenty people could lie in it.

Due to hiding his identity all the year round, Meng Chen doesn't like contact with outsiders.So he chose the position closest to the door, with a wall on one side and Shen Xiuyuan on the other.

It may be due to the relationship of blood, the temperature of Shen Xiuyuan's body is not very high, it is icy cold, and he feels very comfortable after getting close, like a piece of beautiful jade, with a faint fragrance coming from it.

Just a little forward, and he can put his hands on the opponent's shoulders and put his knees between the bends of the opponent's legs.

Meng Chen originally couldn't sleep because he had plans for the night, but now he really couldn't sleep.

Shen Xiuyuan closed his eyes and fell asleep, trying his best to adjust his breathing to be shallow and even, like a deep sleeper.Not long after, Meng Wei suddenly approached his ear and whispered, "Can't you sleep?"

Shen Xiuyuan: ...

He really didn't expect that Meng Chen's five senses were so sensitive.

In the original book, the male protagonist went to steal the key one night after entering the Imperial Guard.Therefore, he cannot fall asleep before the hero, otherwise he may miss the plot.

He improvised an excuse: "I can't fall asleep because of the bed."

Meng Chen was noncommittal, and asked a new question: "I didn't have time to ask during the day, why did you come to Bailu City?"

Shen Xiuyuan pretended to be sleepy, and said casually: "The head of the sect gave me a place as an inner disciple... By the way, why don't you sleep?"

Meng Qin said, "You smell nice."

Shen Xiuyuan:? ? ?

Because he... smells good, so the hero can't sleep?

Seeing that Shen Xiuyuan was silent, Meng Wei gave a deep laugh and said in a low voice, "Don't forget what that Xuanwu bloodline who wanted to attack you said... My totem is like a water snake? Yours is like a fish?"

"Go to sleep now."

The voice stopped abruptly, and Shen Xiuyuan felt that the unfinished threat was obvious.Water snakes eat fish, if he doesn't go to bed now, he will be the fish soup tomorrow.Anyway, Meng Chen's superficial cultivation was higher than him, so if he really wanted to deal with him, his vest would not have an advantage.

Shen Xiuyuan buried his head in the pillow helplessly.

Meng Wei threatened him to go to bed quickly, probably because he planned to steal the key to the Santo's Mansion tonight.But looking at the current situation, if he is not really asleep, the hero will be extremely vigilant and will not leave.

He called the system in his mind: [System, remember to call me when the male initiative is ready. 】

System: [Okay~By the way, if the male takes the initiative to wake up and get up, won't the host be sleepy? 】

Shen Xiuyuan: [...Yes, but there is no other way, let's sleep after finishing the plot. 】

Counting tonight, he hadn't slept well in two days.After deciding to sleep soundly to dispel the male protagonist's suspicion, he almost touched the pillow.Meng Chen waited patiently for a long time, until the breathing of the person beside the pillow became even and steady, and then quietly got up.

Although he was very careful in his movements, when he opened the door, due to the disrepair of the wooden door, it was inevitable that there would be some small noises.

Someone was very alert, woke up suddenly, looked towards the door with half-opened eyes, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

Meng Chen replied, "Get up at night."

The man gave a dazed "um", turned over and fell asleep again.

Knowing from the system that Meng Chen got up, Shen Xiuyuan immediately woke up pinching his thigh.While no one was paying attention, he quietly recited the mantra and jumped into the dynamic entrance of the Water Mansion.

When Meng Qian was on patrol during the day, he had long memorized the timetable for changing the guards and the route map in the camp.Therefore, he quietly avoided the crowd while the patrol was changing at night, came to the room of the captain of the guard, opened the window, and jumped in lightly.

The room was silent.As usual, the captain would carry the key with him.

But Meng Wei has made inquiries, the captain has been taking a rest for the past few days.On holiday nights, the other party would go to a flower house in the city to drink flower wine.There are many people in the flower building, and the captain will not carry the key with him.Then, only in the room.

Meng Chen rummaged through boxes and cabinets in the captain's room, searched for the key, and then restored the overturned cage to its original state.Just as he was concentrating on it, a piece of blue clothes hangs quietly outside the window, but it disappears soon.

Shen Xiuyuan changed into an oiran vest.The cultivation base of this vest is higher than Ming An's, so it is not easy to be found after following the male lead.He hid on the roof, lifted a tile, and watched the hero search the captain's room, but found nothing.

It was already late at night, and the gate of the camp was about to close, and the captain would definitely come back before the gate closed.

Knowing that time is limited, Meng Chen sped up the search.He knew that the captain was treacherous and cunning, and the key would most likely be placed in a very difficult place to find, so he focused on searching places where there might be hidden compartments, such as behind the bookshelf, on the wall, and on the bed.

He found the bedroom, lifted the quilt, and tapped on the bed.There was no sound under the bed, and there was nothing else on the bed except for a spirit sword placed against the wall.

In the guard camp, the patrolling team found the captain who came back at night, and they all said, "Hello, captain!" The captain waved to them drunkenly, and staggered towards his room.

Meng Qin also heard the greetings from outside.He turned the hilt of the sword in an attempt to find the mechanism, but found nothing. He pulled out the spirit sword, and the blade was very ordinary, it didn't look like there was any mechanism.

He frowned, isn't the key really in the room?

But if he just gave up like this, he would not be reconciled.

He tried his best to calm down, and in the sound of the captain's approaching footsteps, he cast his eyes on the gem-studded scabbard.

Could there be any mystery on the scabbard?

Shen Xiuyuan closed the tiles, quietly jumped off the roof, found a place to hide in the grass, took out the messenger amulet given to him by the hero from the storage ring, and quickly wrote a line of words on it with spiritual power.Injecting spiritual power again, the messenger talisman flew up and lightly sank into the captain's room.

Looking at the message talisman floating away, Shen Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief.Although the hero found the key in the original book, since he passed through the book, many things did happen that were not in the original book.

Therefore, he didn't dare to risk his mission, and he didn't dare to joke about the hero's life.

Just as Meng Chen cast his eyes on the gemstone on the scabbard, a messenger talisman floated in through the crack of the door, it was the one he had given to the oiran.It reads: "If you want to enter the city lord's mansion, the third jewel of the scabbard in the captain's room, turn to the left, there is a key."

How did the oiran know that he was going to the City Lord's Mansion?

Although he didn't know whether the news was true or not, but the situation was urgent at this moment, he could only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

In the dark room, Meng Chen touched the third gemstone with his slender fingers, and spun it as he said.This jewel turned out to be movable. With the sound of a light machine, a hole appeared on the wall, and a small box was placed inside.

is the key.

Footsteps were heard in front of the door, and the captain had already returned.

Meng Qin opened the box without hesitation, took out the key, and quickly restored the bed.When the captain opened the door, everything in the room was as usual, but he felt that the atmosphere in the room seemed to have changed.

The captain drew his spirit sword out of its sheath, and walked slowly into the bedroom step by step.

Could it be that someone came in?

The curtain by the window swayed slightly, the captain sneered, and stabbed out with the spirit sword in his hand, piercing the curtain across: "Who's inside?"

But there was no blood on the long sword he drew.

The captain muttered to himself suspiciously: "Why is there no one? Could it be that I was dazzled by drinking too much?"

He lifted the curtains, closed the windows, and everything was exactly as it was when he left.The captain cursed something strange, went back to bed, and fell asleep soundly.

Meng Chen quietly left from under the window, thinking inwardly that it was dangerous.

If there is no news from the oiran, he may not be able to escape from the captain's room unscathed.

however……

Meng Qin looked at the key in his hand with a serious expression on his face.

The wound on his finger that was cut by the middle-aged man's sword hadn't healed yet, and the powder from the key was accidentally stained just now.And these powders, he had heard from his clansmen, were a kind of poison called Ruxin powder.

Meng Qian didn't dare to delay, so he quickly left the guard camp, hid in a remote alley outside, took water from the bucket by the well, and washed the wound.While checking the situation, he suddenly heard someone calling himself from behind.

"...Meng Chen."

The voice asked softly, "How are you?"

Suddenly Meng Chen looked back and saw Shen Xiuyuan coming by the moonlight.He sneered, and said casually: "I can't die."

If he remembered correctly, it was the first time that the other party called him by his name directly.Different from the indifference in the past, all the worries this time were clearly written on his face.

That might be friend rather than foe.

Shen Xiuyuan was really in a hurry.In the original book, Meng Chen didn't have that wound on his hand, so he didn't touch any rotten powder at all.After getting the key, the other party directly entered the City Lord's Mansion, and accidentally found a barrier-breaking pill that monks above the golden core can use.After taking the Breaking Barrier Pill, he broke through the Nascent Soul stage and successfully defeated the big boss.

However, when Meng Wei left the camp, he saw the other party's serious face, and felt a little bad.When he found out from the system that there was a special rotten powder made by the City Lord's Mansion on the key, he even took a deep breath.

The male protagonist was in danger this time because he helped him.

He must take responsibility.

Because he was going to the city lord's mansion, the oiran vest could no longer be used.Once he is discovered by the people of the City Lord's Mansion, the "reverse" organization may be involved, and things may become more complicated.Among the rest of the vests, the eldest brother has the highest cultivation level, so it is most appropriate to appear here.

Holding Meng Chen's hand, he summoned pure water to wash his wound, and said anxiously: "This is the secret medicine Rot Heart Powder from the City Lord's Mansion. It dissolves into the blood from the wound, and it will cause the heart to fester and die. If you use the spirit If the power is controlled, the Jindan cultivator can last for two days at most. The antidote is only in the City Lord's Mansion, we have to get it..."

"I know."

Shen Xiuyuan's words stuck in his throat.

He should have thought a long time ago that the male protagonist is of Qinglong bloodline and has a long history of family education, so he should know that the medicine powder is Ruxin powder.

"But what I want to know more is, Senior Brother, why did you come here." Meng Chen stood up, almost biting his ear and asked, "Follow me, huh?"
