Murong Xiaotian and his group of four went all the way south to the Eternal Life City. The Eternal Life City was really lively, with busy traffic and people coming and going. It looked no worse than the major cities in the "Destiny" game. The only difference was that besides Murong Xiaotian, there will never be another player.
Murong Xiaotian did not get out of the car. He just lifted a corner of the curtain from the window of the carriage and briefly scanned the outside. Since he came with the purpose of stealing the longevity water, it was better to keep a low profile.
Lu Yi set up the carriage in front of a less conspicuous inn, and according to Murong Xiaotian's wishes, he directly occupied the entire courtyard in the backyard of the inn, drove the carriage directly into the backyard from the side door, and then got off the car and entered the wing. In short , it’s better to hide your whereabouts as much as possible.
After everything was settled here, he did a little freshening up, and asked the waiter to bring some food. After everyone had eaten, Murong Xiaotian asked Lu Yi to go out and buy clothes, bamboo hats and other things for him. He was as black as Africa. He looks like a human being, and his clothes are different from those in Changsheng City. He is too conspicuous when going out, so it is necessary to cover up.
"Brother Thief, it's better to come early than to come by chance. We came just in time. God help us." Lu Yi came back and entered the side room and put the things he bought for Murong Xiaotian on the table. Said: "Now there is an opportunity to get the sealing talisman and sneak into the palace. We must take advantage of it and seize this opportunity."
"What opportunity?" Murong Xiaotian, Lu Jia, and Xian'er all cheered up. It seems that God is really helpful. There is good news just after arriving in Changsheng City.
"There is a notice posted on the street outside. The Emperor's sister Princess is openly recruiting husbands. No matter your age or appearance, as long as you are a man, you can sign up." Lu Yi said excitedly: "Brother Thief, I have already signed up for you. "Ming, as long as you can find a way to defeat all your competitors, you will be able to enter and leave the inner city of the palace, and you will have the opportunity to steal the water of immortality,"
"Second uncle, you, what's your bad idea? Aren't you going to let the thief brother marry the princess and become the county king?" Before Murong Xiaotian and Lu Jia could speak, Xian'er was already dissatisfied.
"Xian'er, what are you worried about?" At this time, Lu Jia said with a smile: "Do you think the princess's wedding is such a casual thing? If your thief brother can really pass the test and marry the princess, at least there will be A long period of time, enough time for him to steal the elixir of immortality,"
"Little brother thief, I'm warning you, if you dare to do anything to disgrace Xian'er and pretend to marry the princess, we two brothers will never let you go," Lu Yi also spoke in agreement.
"Second uncle, what are you talking about?" Xian'er's eyes were full of shyness, but more importantly, they were filled with joy.
"Damn, she's just a bad princess, she just wants me to betray you. You're looking down on me too much. If I don't flatter her, I'm already giving her face. Marrying her, I'm just crazy. "Xian'er, Lu Jia, and Lu Yi all laughed at Murong Xiaotian's harsh words, but Murong Xiaotian felt bitter in his heart. No matter whether he could complete this trial or not, he would eventually Murong Xiaotian didn't dare to think about what Xian'er would do after leaving here.
"We believe that the little brother thief is not the kind of person who clings to wealth, otherwise, we brothers will not come to help you," Lu Jia patted Murong Xiaotian on the shoulder and nodded approvingly.
"Brother Yi, did the announcement mention the procedures for the princess to choose her husband?" Murong responded and nodded to Lu Jia. He changed the subject and turned his attention to Lu Yi. He really didn't want to get involved in those issues too much.
"Procedure, what procedure," Lu Yi was puzzled.
"Oh, it means the process and conditions for the princess to choose a husband," Murong Xiaotian finally realized that the people here probably don't understand the process.
"Oh, let's do a rough selection first," Lu Yi said: "We will conduct strength tests such as lifting weights, and only the top 100 people will compete in the arena. The arena is divided into eight arenas, and the winner of each arena will enter the palace. interview,"
"Oh, that's it, it's simple," Murong Xiaotian smiled slightly and said to Lu Yi: "We won't participate in the rough selection. Brother Yi wants to work hard for you and wants you to do some planning. Money is not an issue. "Murong Xiaotian doesn't want to show up too early, and he also knows this truth. Money can make all the difference. I'm afraid he's not the only one who relies on money to get through. Of course, he also has another purpose, which is to bribe the invigilator. As an official, it is of great benefit to inquire about information for yourself. After all, the most important thing is the interview. You must understand the princess's preferences, personality, etc. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be invincible.
"Okay, I'll go right away," Lu Yi said, took a lot of gold coins from Murong Xiaotian and went out.
Don't tell me, Lu Yi is really talented as a housekeeper. He managed things properly in less than a day and gave Murong Xiaotian the status of a prince. That kind of rough selection is of course Of course, there was no need to participate. The speed of rough selection was not as fast as usual. It only took half a day to finish it all in the morning of the next day. The afternoon of the next day was the selection day for the group competition. This time Murong Xiao The sky has to go.
Putting on the gorgeous clothes Lu Yi bought, leaving Lu Jia and Xian'er at home, Lu Yi drove the carriage and Murong Xiaotian out.
When I arrived at the arena set up in front of the Palace of Eternal Life City, I saw that there was already a sea of people there.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, I didn't see the prince of the black country coming." Seeing Lu Yi on the carriage, a group of soldiers ran over and drove the onlookers away to make way. When the carriage stopped at Murong Xiao In front of the No. 3 arena where Tian was about to participate, a fat proctor ran over and nodded and bowed to Murong Xiaotian who was getting off the carriage with a smile on his face.
"Your Highness, please take a seat at the VIP table," the invigilator repeatedly raised his hands to Murong Xiaotian.
"Sir Rong, you are so polite. After the matter is completed, I will definitely not treat you badly," Murong Xiaotian took Master Rong's hand and walked to the VIP table and sat down.
"Prince, you're welcome," Master Rong chuckled and said gloomily: "Prince, please rest assured that everything has been arranged by the subordinates. The other people in this third group are the weakest among the eight groups in the rough selection. , one of the stronger ones is my subordinate. Hey, wait until my subordinates beat the others down. Your Highness, as long as you are the last one to appear, you will definitely win."
"Gao, it's really high. Don't worry, I won't treat Master Rong badly." Murong Xiaotian gave a thumbs up to Master Rong, and at the same time lamented the darkness of the officialdom. Damn, I didn't expect that he could even think of such a move. This is the case in games, let alone in reality.
"There, there, that's all I can do for the prince. As for the final interview, there's nothing I can do."
"By the way, Sir Rong, I don't know what kind of person this princess likes," Murong Xiaotian asked what he wanted to know.
"I don't know much about this," Master Rong thought for a moment and said, "I heard from the princess's personal maid in the palace that the princess doesn't seem to care about the handsome, ugly, old and young. She seems to want to find someone.
The position is powerful, but it must be a bold, rough and arrogant prince who is not afraid of the sky or the earth. But it is not clear whether he is really the official."
"Holy shit, is this princess a masochist?" Murong Xiaotian couldn't help but screamed. I really couldn't understand what the princess was thinking.
"Hehe, no matter whether it's true or not, we can't miss this opportunity to perform, right?" At this time, Master Rong smiled and whispered into Murong Xiaotian's ear: "The situation of the competition in the arena, the princess is
I'm watching from the tower of the palace. When the prince competes with my subordinates later, win more beautifully and try to attract the attention of the princess. In this way, during the interview, it will be much more beneficial to the prince."
"Oh, that's it." Murong Xiaotian turned to look at the city tower, and sure enough he saw several people standing there. One of them standing in the middle seemed to be covered with a veil. That should be the princess, but even if
If I wasn't blind, I probably couldn't see clearly, since I wasn't very close after all.
"Well, I have said everything that needs to be said, and the rest depends on the prince himself," Mr. Rong nodded.
"Master Rong, please stop your men from going up. I'll be the first to go up later," Murong Xiaotian thought for a moment and suddenly laughed sinisterly.
"Is Your Highness the Prince sure about this?" Lord Rong asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, hey, I promise, no one will dare to play in less than ten minutes," Murong Xiaotian's eyes flashed with a sinister look.
"Okay, in this case, you have to be careful." I couldn't tell that Master Rong cared about Murong Xiaotian, but I really don't know whether he cared about people or money.
