Before noon, all the sixteen places in the finals have been confirmed. In addition to Xiao, Li, and Zhao, the Tang family has two other players, which means that among the top 16, five of them are arranged by the Tang Mansion.

This morning, Li Changsheng also won three consecutive games and entered the finals. Among them, the young master of the Liu family in Hedong was beaten to a bruised face by Li Changsheng, and ran away in shame.

Unexpectedly, Nanchong Zhuang Xiaoxian also reported to advance all the way. The one who advanced with him was Yu Sifan, a flower in Jianghu. This guy was lucky. The first two opponents were relatively weak, and the third opponent was Zhixuan Realm. Yu Sifan had no chance of winning at first, but he had a stomachache during the break and ran three times in a row. When he arrived on the ring, he was exhausted and exhausted. He had only made two moves and ran away with his stomach covering his stomach.

The young swordsman with cruel methods in the morning killed another person in the third game and entered the finals. He found out from Li Datong that this man claimed to be a disciple of Tianshan, his surname was Lu and his name was Yuan, and he was ordered by the master to come out to practice. He had only entered the world for less than a few months.

The other few shortlisted were disciples of famous and upright sects in the world, and their martial arts were also in the realm of Zhixuan.

This kind of martial arts competition attracted the bride, the Tang family arranged lunch for those who came to watch the game, and some people who were eliminated in the morning, and prepared meals. The sixteen people who entered the final circle were invited to the inner hall for dinner alone.

The inner hall had already prepared wine and meals, which were much more hearty than the big pot rice in the yard. After a busy morning, the three of them were not polite and their eating habits were not good.

Yu Sifan walked over and whispered to the three people, "Brother, we're meeting again."

Xiao Jinyan smiled, "It's so gratifying that you can actually enter the finals."

Yu Sifan laughed and said, "In these days, participating in this kind of competition, three points depend on strength and seven points depend on luck."

"It seems you're lucky."

Yu Sifan said proudly, "I have always been lucky."

Zhuang Xiaoxian, who was dining next to him, sneered, "To participate in the competition, one point depends on power and nine points depends on luck."

Yu Sifan said, "Brother, are you lucky?"

Zhuang Xiaoxian said, "There is ninety left, it depends on the money. Haha!"

The laughter echoed in the inner hall, attracting the attention of everyone. Zhuang Xiaoxian waved his hand, "What are you looking at? Get enough for a full meal. Anyway, you will have nothing to do in the afternoon."

Li Changsheng couldn't stand him and said, "If you meet you in the afternoon, I will beat you up to the point where your father can't recognize you."

Zhuang Xiaoxian said, "Don't worry, you can't touch me." As he said that, he laughed and left.

Seeing that Xiao Jinyan didn't even use chopsticks, Yu Sifan grabbed it with his hands and couldn't help but remind him, "Brother Tang, pay attention to his image. Although it is a martial arts competition to attract brides, you should also pay attention to the image. Every move we make in the inner hall will be recorded on the record, so we can't lose etiquette. Seeing that there was no one at the door, he kept staring at us. It was probably the Tang family who sent us to inspect our etiquette."

At this time, the chef walked over and said to the man: "Blind Liu, why are you standing here? Why don't you go to the backyard to play your Sanxian?"

The blind Liu nodded and bowed, "Sorry, I'm going on the wrong path. The noise here is noisy, and I don't know how I left." As he said that, he walked out with the wall.

Yu Sifan said a little embarrassedly, "Anyway, it's better to be cautious." He gestured with his eyes, "I saw that person didn't. It seemed to be from the Tianshan School. I had three games this morning, two died and one injured. I hope I won't touch him in the afternoon, otherwise I'd just give in."

Lu Yuan seemed to hear the discussion and looked here coldly. Xiao Jinyan saw a pair of cold and hostile eyes, which seemed to be an enemy of the world, and nodded slightly to the man.

The man looked stunned, turned around, found a chair, sat down, closed his eyes and rested, and accumulated energy for the afternoon competition.

Li Datong came over and said to Xiao Jinyan, "In the first round of the afternoon, you will fight Zhuang Xiaoxian, remember, you will lose."

Xiao Jinyan said, "Isn't he already in the top 16? Why do he have to enter the next round?"

Li Datong said uh, "Just just now, his old man found the big manager and added another 20,000 silver. I guess he saw the dawn of victory."

"Everyone knows the level of his martial arts. If he loses to him, aren't he afraid that people in the world will laugh at our Tang family?"

Li Datong, "Apart from the 16 shortlisted people, except for Zhuang Xiaoxian, you have the weakest martial arts skills. Who do you choose if you don't? Besides, you lost by your strength, so it's not embarrassing!"

Xiao Jinyan was speechless.

Li Datong gave a few words and went to find Li Qingcheng again, asking him to deliberately lose to Li Changsheng of the Li family in Jinling, on the grounds that the Li family in Jinling is the first family in the martial arts world. If the Tang Mansion had the opportunity to marry the Li family, it would naturally be a beautiful story in the world.

Yu Sifan, who Zhao Langjiang dealt with, was extremely ruthless in swordsmanship and could enter the quarterfinals. As for Lu Yuan, the Tang Mansion knew very little about his background and had sent a guest official from Tongxiang Realm to deal with him to ensure that he was eliminated in the next round.

After a brief revision, the afternoon competition began. Tang Zhengfeng, Tang Zhenghua and three generations of disciples all came to the scene. Strangely, Tang Zhengmao was not seen at the scene.

Tang Zhengfeng said to the Sixteen people, "After a morning of competition, you sixteen people have advanced and are expected to become the first person to marry the Tang family through martial arts competition and recruiting brides in three hundred years. Congratulations!"

Zhuang Xiaoxian smiled and said, "Head of the Tang family, we have admired the third lady for a long time. Since it is the final, don't hide it. Why not invite the third lady out to give us the opportunity to see her fairy posture. Everyone will be motivated when they fight hard in the afternoon."

Tang Zhengfeng showed a hint of displeasure in his eyes, but he also said, "This request is very reasonable. Come on, please invite the third lady out!"

Soon, Miss Tang San walked out with the help of a few people. She had a phoenix crown and a veil covering her head, but only half of her person was seen, and everyone at the scene was fascinated by it, which attracted a lot of shouts.

Tang Xiqiu saluted everyone at the scene, and before he could speak, he went to the back hall to rest.

Dongdongdongdongdongdong!

The competition begins!

Everyone entered the venue to warm up. Tang Zhengfeng sat on the viewing platform. Someone had already served fragrant tea. After drinking it, he saw the great manager Tang Niubing come over and whisper a few words beside him.

When Tang Zhengfeng heard this, he looked a little surprised and said a few more words to Tang Zhenghua. The two of them got up, left their seats, and walked towards the backyard.

...

The four brothers of the Tang Mansion, Fenghua Zhengmao, were named after Fengxing, Huaguan, Zhengyang and Maolin. After Tang Zhengzheng's death, Zhengyang was renamed Huayu, and now Tang Xiqiu lives.

Maolinyuan.

Tang Zhengfeng and Tang Zhenghua, accompanied by the great manager, walked in and saw the old man Tang Shouli, quickly bowing, "Father."

The old man looked at the two brothers with gloomy eyes and said, "The third brother is dead."

"Dead?"

Tang Zhengfeng and Tang Zhenghua were shocked when they heard this. In the martial arts performance, he heard the old man summoning the two of them in Maolin Courtyard, but he did not expect that such a thing would happen.

Tang Zhengmao's body was lying on the desk, with a dagger stuck in his chest, and blood was left along the desk and flowing all over the floor.

One knife enters the heart and there is no hope of resurrection.

Tang Zhengfeng felt the seriousness of the situation. Xu Jiangshan, the second manager Tang Rulong, and Tang Zhengmao, three people died within three days. This was clearly targeting the Tang family.

"The third brother is also in Zhixuan Realm. There are no signs of fighting on the scene. Those who killed him either have their martial arts skills that are far higher than him, or those who are familiar with him sneak attacked him."

Tang Zhengfeng has been through the world for a long time and has a basic judgment on this point.

The old man said in a deep voice, "This is exactly why I called you here. Zhengfeng, go up and check if there are any other wounds on the third child."

Tang Zhengfeng came to Tang Zhengmao's body and saw that he was pale and obviously died of excessive blood loss. He observed for a moment and shook his head, "No, if the weapon in his chest was not pulled out, it would not have been bleeding so much."

He cut Tang Zhengmao's wrist with his fingers, and no blood was oozing out, which means that all the blood in Tang Zhengmao's body had flowed.

"Unless anger attacks the heart and gathers blood all over the body with the heart and mouth."

Tang Zhenghua was also surprised and said, "Brother means that the death of the third brother is the same as that of Tang Rulong and Xu Jiangshan?"

"Not bad! If you guess correctly, they must have been hit by an extremely powerful poison!"

While speaking, a letter fell out of Tang Zhengmao's arms, with five words written on it, "The old man opened his heart."

Tang Zhengfeng did not dare to act rashly, so he handed the letter to Tang Shouli. The old man opened the letter and glanced at it, and his hands trembled.

There is a line of words written on it.

"Twenty years ago, the flesh and blood were killed, the son and daughter-in-law were killed, and the gods were angry and resentful. Kill, kill, kill! Tang Zhengmao's last writing."

Looking at the handwriting, it was written by the third son Tang Zhengmao. Old Master Tang was so angry that he trembled all over. He closed his hands and smashed the letter into powder.

Tang Zhengfeng asked, "Dad, what is it written on it?"

The old man said coldly, "You don't have to know."

A chill arose from Tang Shouli's heart.

The incident twenty years ago was planned by Tang Zhengfeng and handled by Tang Zhengmao himself, but the real instructor was Tang Shouli.

Back then, the position of the head of the Tang family was originally to be passed on to the third son Tang Zhengzheng. In addition to character and martial arts, Tang Zhengzheng was also responsible for the research and development of the Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle.

It was a natural thing, but in the spring of that year, Tang Zhengzheng brought back a woman in the world - Song Guanyue, the world's number one beauty.

The woman looked like a falling fish and falling geese. She looked beautiful and charming. Every frown and smiled, she was fascinating. The entire Tang Mansion envied the third young master of the Tang family for marrying a peerless beauty.

However, beauty will eventually lead to disaster.

When Tang Zhengzheng took the Song woman to pay homage to the old man and told him that he would leave the Cui family's engagement, the old man, who was nearly 80 years old, was actually moved and couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

Tang Zhengmao, who had always been incompatible with Tang Zhengzheng, took this matter in his eyes, and forced his third son Tang Zhengzheng to withdraw from the family because of the Cui family's engagement.

Since then, Old Master Tang is crazy, not thinking about tea or food. The eldest son and fourth son took the opportunity to fan the flames, and he nodded in agreement.

At this time, Song Guanyue was pregnant, and the Tang family took the two to the mansion on the grounds that their lives were cooked.

Tang Zhengfeng and Tang Zhengmao discussed a poison plan. Tang Zhengmao bought a pill from Xu Jiangshan, who was selling fake medicine in the east of the city. On the night of the 80th birthday party of Mr. Tang, he fascinated Song Guanyue and sent him to the old man's room.

Tang Zhengfeng pulled Tang Zhengzheng to drink. He also had selfish thoughts and pretended to be drunk and revealed the matter to his third brother. When Tang Zhengzheng heard this, he was furious, but saw Song Guanyue running out of Tang Shouli’s room half naked.

Old Master Tang got his long-cherished wish and met Tang Zhengzheng at the door. After some questioning, Tang Zhengzheng drew his sword and found that Tang Zhengfeng had poisoned the wine he was drinking.

Tang Zhengzheng was completely disappointed and committed suicide by slashing his sword, and blood splattered in Zhixingtang. The three of them were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so they claimed that Tang Zhengzheng died of sudden illness and killed all the servants and servants who knew about it, which concealed the family's scandal.

At this time, Song Guanyue was three months pregnant. She wanted to die, but she thought of the child in her womb and endured humiliation and lived a life of silence.

The Tang family was afraid that Song Guanyue would talk nonsense after she went out, so they imprisoned her in Zhengyang Courtyard.

Since then, there has been an extra crazy woman in the Tang Mansion.

Six months later, the crazy woman gave birth to a girl who looked so beautiful but didn't know how to cry. In order to show her magnanimity, Mr. Tang gave her the name Tang Xiqiu.

When Tang Xiqiu was one year old, Song Guanyue hanged herself under a plum tree in Zhengyang courtyard.

The only people who knew about this were Tang Shouli, Tang Zhengfeng and Tang Zhengmao. The rest were no longer in the world. Tang Zhengfeng got his wish and became the new head of the Tang family.

Now that Tang Zhengmao is dead, Old Master Tang looked at Tang Zhengfeng suspiciously, "Kneel down!"
