The new emperor and the fifth prince looked gloomy, sitting listlessly on the dragon throne. After finally becoming the new emperor, they became the "puppet emperor". It is strange to be in a good mood. The three real dragons behind him were not affected. Maybe the "dragon age" "Because they are still young, they have quite a naughty dragon nature. The three dragon heads bite and peck each other from time to time.
Since Concubine Yi proposed to stay in power for three years, a phoenix chair was added next to the dragon chair.
Looking at the size ratio between the dragon chair and the phoenix chair, Bai Yu almost laughed out loud. The civil and military officials were too real. The dragon chair that the fifth prince of the new emperor sat on was as small as a "little bamboo chair", and the phoenix chair that Concubine Yi sat on It is extremely spacious and can accommodate three or four people side by side.
Concubine Yi noticed that the fifth prince of the new emperor was not in good spirits, she frowned and coughed lightly.
The fifth prince of the new emperor shuddered, and hurriedly sat upright and cheered up. Three years of listening to politics is not just a casual talk. If his performance in three years is too poor, it may not be as simple as listening to politics.
below.
The civil and military officials were divided into two teams. Each of them wore new and neat official robes and looked solemn.
The leader of the team on the left is King Nan of Jin.
The leader of the team on the right is King Ning.
As the youngest of the three princes, Bai Yu failed to grab the "sofa" and had to stand behind King Jinnan.
The old eunuch slowly walked out from the small dragon chair of the fifth prince of the new emperor, and uttered a melodious voice, "Since the new emperor ascended the throne in accordance with the destiny, he has worked hard to govern, the country is stable, the country is prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, all directions are singing and dancing, and all the princes and vassals The country, grateful for the mighty grace of Heaven and intimidated by the majesty of the imperial dynasty, sent envoys to the capital to pay homage to the new emperor."
All the civil and military officials shouted "Long live my emperor!"
The fifth prince of the new emperor said, "Xuan, envoys from all the princely states enter the palace."
The old eunuch immediately repeated His Majesty's words in a loud voice, "Announce, envoys from all the princely states are entering the palace!"
Under the guidance of the etiquette officer, the envoys from various princely states entered the main hall, knelt down together, and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times.
It can be seen that these envoys kneel down in a somewhat casual manner, but the proper worship etiquette must still be followed.
If any envoy is not given even this face, he will be dragged out and killed directly, and the Daqian Dynasty will directly send troops to conquer the vassal country where the envoy is located.
The Daqian Dynasty has weak luck and does not want to conflict with the major vassal states, but this does not mean that the Daqian Dynasty will really be afraid of the major vassal states. If the total population of the human race is calculated as 200 million, the Daqian Dynasty will account for at least 150 million. , the remaining fifty million is the total of the major vassal states. After all, the suzerain state is still the suzerain state, and its size is here.
The envoys also knew this in their hearts. It was useless to show off openly like this. They had to show their strength in the competition in order to fight for the interests of their vassal states.
The worship service is over.
The old eunuch held a book and read aloud the treasures paid tribute by the major princely states.
Then, the new emperor and the five princes rewarded the major vassal states on the spot.
Bai Yu found that the tributes were not as large as the rewards. It was obviously meant to appease and show the richness of the dynasty's products. To put it bluntly, the dynasty loved face, and even if it hurts its face, it would be a fat man.
The envoys looked at each other in a tacit understanding, it was time.
Fire Nation Junyan immediately stood up, bowed his hands to the fifth prince of the new emperor, and said with a faint smile, "The Daqian Dynasty has a vast territory, strong men like clouds, and young geniuses are emerging in large numbers. We and other princes and vassal countries have admired them for a long time, and we sincerely ask the strong men of the dynasty to I would also like to ask for your Majesty’s permission to give advice to the younger generations of geniuses.”
This was agreed upon long ago, and the arena battle between the "private warriors" and these envoys a few days ago pushed the atmosphere of the entire competition to its peak. Now the entire imperial city is paying attention to this competition.
The new emperor and the fifth prince said, "Accurate."
Standing all the time was boring, so Bai Yu decided to cheer up and immediately went out, "Your Majesty, it is inconvenient to use your fists and kicks in the Daqian Hall, so please move to the martial arts arena."
"King Ming is thoughtful, so let's go to the martial arts field to compete."
The fifth prince of the new emperor glanced at Bai Yu and said in a calm voice.
Obviously, he was still bitter about Bai Yu's "advice" to Concubine Yi to kill the layman Xuanyi. He regarded Bai Yu as his brother, but Bai Yu made him sit on the "little dragon chair", which is unforgivable.
In fact, it was the King of Jinnan who proposed to Concubine Yi to kill the layman Xuanyi, but Bai Yu was "forced" to be taken by Concubine Yi and happened to be there at the time, so the blame fell on him. He had troubles and couldn't explain it. I can carry it for the King of Jinnan.
Concubine Yi, the five princes of the new emperor, civil and military officials and envoys from various vassal states, as well as many serving eunuchs and maids, the honor guard of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and the Jinwu Guards of the brigade, marched to the martial arts field together.
When he arrived at the martial arts arena, Bai Yu found that some people who were inconvenient to attend the court meeting were already waiting here.
The most eye-catching one is undoubtedly Yue Zun. He cannot tell his age. He seems to be in his thirties or fifty or sixty. His hair is as white as snow and he is more than eight feet long. He stands upright and holds a whisk with a green jade handle. Wearing a moon-white robe with fluttering skirts, it looks like this is what a monk should look like.
Why could Bai Yu recognize him as Yue Zun at a glance?
Because there is a huge crescent moon shadow behind him, and there is a "Moon Messenger" standing behind him, that is, the beautiful Taoist nun he saw before.
What's more important is an intuition, as if "he should be Yue Zun, and Yue Zun should also be him." This feeling is very strange.
【Character Card 2】
[Note: You have your own cognition and should not be affected. This kind of influence is not malicious and is not blocked.]
Seeing the reminder on the role card, Bai Yu understood that Yue Zun could indeed influence people around him, but this influence would not cause harm to people, but only made people know that he was Yue Zun.
Si Zheng from the Demon Slayer Department was also there. This old guy also closed his eyes and meditated like Yue Zun. Those who didn't know thought he was on the same level as Yue Zun... Bai Yu thought silently.
Zheng Tong and Zheng Yan'er stood behind Si Zheng, belonging to the Demon Slayer Division.
Also, a young man wearing coarse clothes and simply carrying a long sword on his back and a young man wearing armor, with murderous intent that seemed to be materialized, should be the other two of the "Three Sons of the Imperial City", Yin Cong and Yang Youtian.
Jinhua also came. When she saw Bai Yu, her beautiful and beautiful face showed a sweet smile, and she ran over quickly. She seemed not to have thought about the occasion, nor to the Queen Mother, the Emperor, or the whole court. Wenwu, there were so many top powerhouses present, and they never thought of hiding their affection for Bai Yu.
Bai Yu also smiled, and his attention was entirely focused on Jinhua. No matter how he competed with the top experts, he was not as fragrant as Jinhua.
Jinhua and Bai Yu stood together, looking at each other from time to time, and laughing from time to time, as if they were two fools.
King Jinnan had a dark face. Jinhua couldn't see such a big father at all.
"Jinhua, come to my aunt."
Concubine Yi smiled and waved.
Jinhua had no choice but to come to Concubine Yi.
Without Jinhua by his side, Bai Yu's attention was released again, and he noticed the candidates for the battle from the envoys of each princely state.
An old man dressed simply.
A man wearing a mask and black clothes.
An old man with bulging temples and shining eyes.
Good guy, where did these three people come from?
Before, he went to the dock to greet these envoys, but he didn't find these three people at all.
Obviously, each of the princely states had a hidden agenda, so the three people and the envoys divided into two groups to enter the capital.
Judging from the ages of the three of them, they are definitely candidates for the unlimited competition.
The limited competition for the younger generation should be fought among these messengers.
The Daqian Dynasty did not care at all about the actions of the various vassal states, nor did they care who the vassal states sent to fight. This was the confidence of the dynasty and the magnanimity of the suzerain state.
Concubine Yi glanced at the new emperor's fifth prince, who then said, "Since we have arrived at the martial arts arena, let's start directly there."
There really is nothing to say, just make gestures.
The envoys all looked at the old man in simple clothes. Apparently, the order of the battle had been discussed long ago.
The plainly dressed old man slowly walked into the arena and looked at Yue Zun who had his eyes closed to meditate. "I want to ask Yue Zun for advice."
Yue Zun opened his eyes, his eyes calm, and walked into the field.
The two were ten feet apart, stopped and looked at each other quietly.
What are you doing... Bai Yu's head was full of questions, but he saw everyone staring closely at the two people in the field, seeming to have seen some secrets, but he was the only one who didn't know... Well, he was "stuck" You really don’t need to know this if you are practicing “cultivation”.
Suddenly, there was a sonic boom in the field, and an old man in simple clothes took the lead, and then...then he couldn't see clearly.
The speed of the two people was so fast that they could only see hundreds of afterimages appearing in the entire martial arts arena instantly, and a series of sonic booms shook and roared, making everyone's eardrums hurt.
Bai Yu's thoughts turned, his eyes were cool, and he could see clearly now. The old man in simple clothes was too fierce. He had all kinds of stunts at his fingertips. Each of them was so fierce and domineering that he actually beat Yue Zun. He could only keep defending, but the green jade-handled whisk in Yue Zun's hand was broken into pieces and fell into pieces all over the floor.
"I know who you are. You should be the one from Qiguo's Library. Over the past two hundred years, you have mastered the 108 unique skills of the Library."
Yue Zun guessed the identity of this old man.
The old man in simple clothes said, "Yue Zun is really knowledgeable. Even an unknown person like me knows it."
The two fought while talking, but the plainly dressed old man still had the upper hand.
The Moon Lord, who is respected in the world, is just like this? Just when Bai Yu was a little disappointed, the entire martial arts arena suddenly turned dark, as if it had turned into a dark night, with no sunlight and only a bright moon rising into the sky!
Yue Zun jumped up and struck down with one palm.
With a "buzz", countless moonlights condensed instantly and turned into a huge palm of light. With a loud "bang", a big palm print appeared on the martial arts field, turning into a big pit. There was a pool of blood, mud and Blood and water.
It was so cruel... Bai Yu was stunned.
The whole place was also silent.
Concubine Yi chuckled and clapped her hands, "Yue Zun is Yue Zun after all. When Yue Zun goes into battle, there will be no surprises. Even if the opponent is proficient in more than a hundred special skills, he can't stop the palm of the bright moon in the sky."
All the civil and military officials applauded, all with smiles on their faces.
Such a top master from the Qi Kingdom was gone. The envoy from the Qi Kingdom turned pale and his eyes were red, "It's just a competition. Yue Zun, you are too cruel!"
"He damaged my whisk."
Yue Zun looked calm. He nodded to Concubine Yi, and a flying sword fell from somewhere on his body. It rose up in the wind and floated at his feet. He stepped on it, and the young and beautiful Taoist nun followed.
With a "whoosh", dozens of feet away, the figures of the two people quickly shrank, and soon turned into a white dot, disappearing into the distance.
He damaged my whisk... Bai Yu silently looked at the sky, Yue Zun was different from what he imagined.
The envoy from the Qi Kingdom was so angry that he trembled all over, but he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it. After all, his skills were inferior to others.
"Farewell to my ancestor and great uncle."
Ning Yi bent slightly and saluted Yuankong.
Everyone was stunned for a moment and looked at Ning Yi strangely.
Ning Yi's "delay" is too high... Bai Yu calculated in his mind, and based on Ning Yi's delay time, multiplied by the speed of Yue Zun's flying sword, he calculated that Yue Zun should have already been at this time.
