Among the noble princes, the most mysterious one is the Crown Prince Li Guang. This prince rarely interacts with other people, and he does not like to participate in some activities that are popular in the upper capital. He basically keeps a low profile and walks alone.
.No one expected that this prince actually seemed to be on good terms with Princess Qingchang!
"Since the princess has taken action, there is no need for us to follow her."
Gao Wei gave up the idea of participating in the martial arts competition. Princess Qingchang took the Imperial Golden Pill. With her status and strength, basically no one could compete with her in the martial arts competition. As for the literary test, none of the princes liked it very much.
.
"Members of the royal family are indeed different from us ministers."
Yang Qian and Li Ping looked at Zuodian, full of envy.
…
In a large hall outside the palace, a fiery red figure stood in the center. Surrounding her were five guards in golden robes.
"Everyone take action!" Princess Qingchang waved her hand and ordered.
"Princess, be careful."
The three tall guards in brocade clasped their fists, shouted suddenly, and rushed forward. When they were no more than three feet away from Princess Qingchang, their bodies suddenly shook, and a wave of black brilliance burst out of her body.
One, two, three, four, five, a total of five majestic auras burst out of the air, rolling towards Princess Qingchang from five directions. As soon as these five people took action, the air waves immediately emptied out.
, overwhelming, clearly a cultivation level at the peak of his aura.
boom!
Princess Qingchang didn't move. Suddenly, her eyebrows stood up and she shouted. A golden light containing the aura of the emperor broke out of her body and rolled towards the five people. There was a loud bang, and the golden aura was as devastating as death.
, shattered three black auras, and without stopping, hit three guards in brocade clothes in one fell swoop, knocking them away.
"Princess is really smart. We are all at the peak of our aura. But our aura was easily torn apart by the princess. Nowadays, no one is your opponent at the aura level."
The three guards stumbled to the ground, took a few steps back, stood firm, and said with clasped fists.
"I swallowed an Imperial Golden Pill, and even my aura took on the overbearing nature of the medicine. Fang Yun, as long as you haven't reached the formation level, this time, I can beat you to death."
Princess Qingchang looked at Kaiyang Palace, with many thoughts flashing through her eyes.
"Has the Lantern Festival martial arts competition started yet?" Princess Qingchang suddenly asked.
"Back to Princess, it's already begun."
The little eunuch standing on the edge of the hall replied.
"Well, considering the time, it's time to start the secret chess piece I prepared for Fang Yun. I'll go over and take a look."
A strange smile appeared on Princess Qingchang's face, and with a wave of her hand, she immediately turned around and left with several maids and eunuchs.
…
Fang Yun crossed the threshold and faced a small side hall. The surrounding walls were covered with vermilion lanterns. At the end of the side hall, there were two gates. At the door on the left, two Imperial Zhou Imperial Guards
, breathing calmly, holding a black halberd in his hand, standing at the entrance of the hall. On the other side, more than ten feet away, was the literary examination hall. A huge octagonal lantern hung high above the entrance of the hall.
"First the martial arts competition, then the literary test." Fang Yun crossed the threshold of the martial arts hall and walked inside.
The palace is divided into an inner city and an outer city. The outer city is where the princes and ladies from aristocratic families attend royal banquets. Looking down from the sky, the main halls of the outer city are made of steel and arranged in an arc, inlaid in the
On the earth.
The hall that Fang Yun walked into was called Kaiyang Hall. Kaiyang belongs to the Big Dipper, also known as Wuqu Star.
"Scholars participating in the martial arts competition, please go here to receive the competition license."
In the Kaiyang Hall, a man with the appearance of a military general and a golden horse sat upright in front of the sandalwood table. When he saw Fang Yun coming in, he immediately greeted him.
"Name?"
"Fang Yun."
"Um?"
The examining military attache raised his head and glanced at Fang Yun, with a special look flashing in his eyes. Then he wrote with a big pen on the book and handed a black wooden sign to Fang Yun: "You are Fang Lin's younger brother. Yes, this is
Take your token!"
"Thank you." Fang Yun took the wooden sign and pinned it on his waist.
Nearly a hundred scholars had gathered in the main hall, and Fang Yun randomly found a seat and sat down.
After a while, a Confucian scholar who looked like a civil servant came in, glanced around, and said: "In the first round of competition, each person will defeat the five scholars around him and obtain their wooden cards. They can immediately enter the next level, seven kills."
temple."
"A melee! The first round was actually a melee!"
Fang Yun was slightly surprised. In a melee, the advantage of personal force is not so obvious. It is completely possible for five people to form a group and besiege one person. In this case, the result of the game will be unfair. However, if we can fight in this kind of melee,
, defeated five people and entered Xuanji Palace, then there is no doubt about this person's strength.
After the middle-aged scribe said these words, he turned around and left. As soon as he left, a scuffle broke out in Kaiyang Hall behind him.
Warriors from the Yuan Qi Realm, True Qi Realm, Gang Qi Realm, and Qi Field Realm were fighting in a melee, and roars could not be heard. In just a blink of an eye, more than 20 great Zhou scholars flew out, losing the ability to fight again.
I don't know if they reached a tacit understanding, but the scholars around Fang Yun unanimously chose to ignore Fang Yun and attack others around him. During the fierce fight, many people couldn't help but draw their eyes when they passed by Fang Yun.
Looking at Fang Yun, he looked extremely fearful.
During the hunting trip in the eastern suburbs, Xu Quan was humiliated and Yang Biao died. The reputation of the Fang brothers immediately spread among the princes and sons in the capital city. When the news came out that Fang Lin was absorbed into the Great Zhou Forbidden Army, the entire Shang Dynasty
Everyone in the capital was in an uproar. Anyone who wanted to deal with Fang Yun should not only consider Fang Yun's own strong strength, but also consider whether he could bear Fang Lin's anger.
In Kaiyang Palace, Fang Yun became the most leisurely person.
Suddenly a sharp breath came from the crowd, Fang Yun frowned: "Here we are! I knew it wouldn't be so peaceful."
Almost at the same time, several extremely sharp auras came from other directions. Five seventeen- to eight-year-old princes' children gathered around from all directions with gloomy faces.
"They are all aura-level cultivations!"
Through his Qi sense, he realized that these few people were at the same level of cultivation as himself, and Fang Yun was deeply shocked. Five aura-level warriors actually came together to deal with him.
Fang Yun didn't find it strange that these five people dared to deal with him. There were too many princes and sons in the capital, and there were always some people who dared to come up and stroke the tiger's beard. But judging from their clothes, these five people were just descendants of ordinary generals.
He reached the aura level at the age of seventeen or eight. This shocked Fang Yun.
"Xu Quan was born into a noble family, and he has no shortage of spiritual herbs, elixirs, martial arts secrets, and talents. But he is only at the peak of his strength now. If I didn't have the earth-level beads, I wouldn't have practiced so hard, and I wouldn't have swallowed the heaven and earth.
The rare Zhu Guo is probably still at the Gangqi level now. It is so difficult to improve without adventure in the martial arts. Five of them appear here at once! - Am I already behind the times? The aura level has become nothing more than cabbage!"
Fang Yun was shocked in his heart. The appearance of these five people made no sense. They were the same age as Xu Quan, but they were one level stronger than a prince like Xu Quan!
"For ordinary generals, those born at seventeen or eight will reach the aura level. Such talents and qualifications are simply astonishing. Logically speaking, they should have become famous in the capital long ago. There is no reason for them to be so unknown!"
Fang Yun glanced at the five people and recalled them carefully in his mind. However, whether in the previous life or now, he had never heard of such powerful five people.
"Don't blame me, little Marquis, we were also acting under orders. I'm offended!"
The five people stood one foot away from Fang Yun, one of them clasped his fists and said.
Fang Yun's heart moved, and he suddenly realized something: "What you are following is Princess Qingchang's order, right?"
The five people remained silent, which was obviously an acquiescence.
"Yes. It must be Princess Qingchang. Only the royal family with such a huge accumulation can ignore the difficulties of martial arts and easily create a famous martial arts master."
Although he figured this out, Fang Yun was still secretly shocked. Princess Qingchang could only create eight young eunuchs of the Gangqi level. After all, she had reached this level through hard training and the addition of earth-level beads.
But the aura level is different. Princess Qingchang actually created the aura level!
"The accumulation of the royal family is indeed terrifying! Last time, I only humiliated her a little, but she actually started to use the accumulation of the royal family to create martial arts masters to deal with me. - This woman has gone crazy!"
Fang Yun didn't care about the eight young eunuchs at the Gangqi level. But he couldn't care less about the five warriors at the Qi field level. Through these five people, he saw the crazy will of another woman.
"Little Marquis, be careful."
The five people held their fists and stood in five directions. With their robes swaying, circles of black brilliance suddenly shot out and rolled toward Fang Yun.
"It's the aura!"
"Five aura level masters!"
"This Chen Liang just broke through to the initial level of Gang Qi a few days ago. How come he has reached the Qi field level in just a few days!"
…
There was an uproar among the crowd, and those who knew these five people couldn't help but exclaimed.
Aura-level warriors can be placed on the battlefield and immediately join the elite army of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Their status is higher than that of a captain. This level of cultivation is enough for many Yuanqi-level and Zhenqi-level warriors to look up to them.
"It is indeed the aura level. Unfortunately, the aura is chaotic and extremely unstable. It should have been achieved shortly after entering the aura level through external force."
Fang Yun felt it and couldn't help but shook his head. The auras of these five people were activated, and there was no sense of the world falling apart and being unstoppable.
"Fortunately, it seems that Princess Qingchang's abilities are limited. After all, she did not open the royal treasury. The most natural and earthly treasures she can get out of it are only enough for these people to barely reach the aura level."
Fang Yun was determined. As soon as these five people took action, they revealed Princess Qingchang's secrets to Fang Yun. Otherwise, let's not say anything else. Later, Princess Qingchang only needs to send five more formation-level masters.
, Fang Yun didn’t even need to compete, he had to run away immediately!
