Chapter 133 Magnificent city, domineering mansion
Early the next morning, a mighty motorcade formed like a long queue and set off from the Royal Hunting Ground. The motorcade consisted of more than 500 horses and hundreds of carriages.
In each carriage in the second half of the queue, there were two to three deans from local colleges, accompanying them to the Imperial Capital University to watch the finals of this Hundred Schools League.
On both sides of the queue, there were a hundred teachers from the Imperial Capital Academy riding tall horses.
Previously at the Royal Hunting Ground, these two hundred instructors acted as temporary referees, one hundred Dan Hall judges and one hundred Battle Hall judges.
At this moment, their status as referees has come to an end and they have taken on the responsibility of "bodyguards". Everyone is working hard to guard the safety of the entire team - especially the one at the front of the queue.
The safety of more than a hundred teenagers.
Each of those half-grown children is an elite among the elites of Dantang and Zhantang. After being trained by the inner courtyard of the Imperial Capital Academy, they will surely become the mainstay of the entire country in the future.
If due to the school's poor protection, a young boy becomes the food of the mysterious beasts or becomes the soul of a gangster before he reports to the Imperial City University, these Imperial City teachers will definitely not be able to eat it.
Walk around.
After an hour, the convoy successfully arrived near the east gate of the Imperial City.
The city wall that comes into view is more than a hundred feet high and ten feet wide. The length is unknown, because as far as people can see, there is no end in sight!
When the motorcade got closer, many students couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Look, the materials used to build these walls are not ordinary rocks, but extremely hard black steel stones!"
"Oh my god, the walls and locust trees that stretch as far as the eye can see are all made of black steel and stone? It really deserves the name of the imperial capital!"
"And the wide east gate passage, even if there are ten carriages driving abreast, it can still pass without any obstruction! In comparison, the city gate of the second-level town in my hometown is like a broken cave entrance, not worth mentioning...
…”
After the cavalry entered the city through the east gate, many foreign students who saw the prosperity of the imperial capital for the first time in their lives were immediately stunned to the point of being speechless——
The roads extending in all directions are terrifyingly wide, and people and carriages are constantly passing by.
There are densely packed pavilions and shops on both sides of the road, and there are even more types of shops, like a hundred flowers blooming.
Those "Xuanbingfang" and "Alchemy Pavilion" that can be called the central hubs and treasured places of outstanding people in local towns are so numerous in this imperial city that they can be seen everywhere, and they are no more noble than restaurants and inns.
…
The students who had just arrived were looking at the scenery, but they didn't know that they themselves had become a strange sight in the eyes of the people in the imperial capital.
Passers-by coming and going would stop and watch this huge motorcade, and from time to time they would comment and sigh——
"The cavalry team is under the banner of the Imperial Capital University. It must be another one of the 100-school league held every three years, right?"
"Well, all previous Hundred School Leagues are a grand event for talent competition. Only players who are among the top ten in the Dan Hall and the top 100 in the Battle Hall are eligible to be personally led by the dean and enter the inner courtyard of the Imperial Capital Academy."
"I also heard that no matter the Dan Hall or the War Hall, only the top ten can go to the Qianlong Platform to participate in the finals!"
"Yes, it is said that after the finals, our King will also appoint the top three. Gee, what an honor this will be?"
…
A few moments later, when the cavalry team from the Imperial Academy passed by a large alchemy pavilion, a young man who had just walked out of the gate was suddenly startled: "Huh? Brother, look at that young man wearing a black robe and carrying a spear on his back!"
Doesn’t it look like Chen Shen?”
When another young man heard this, he quickly looked at the back of the figure his younger brother was referring to. After a brief silence, he shook his head with a sneer on his face: "There are some similarities, but that person can never be Chen Shen!"
These two young men in colorful clothes were none other than the two real culprits behind the secret poisoning of Chen Shen in Kowloon City on the pretext of visiting their clan brothers: Chen Xiong and Chen Hu!
Chen Xiong leaned into his younger brother's ear and whispered: "Don't scare yourself by being suspicious. That fool Chen Shen has been poisoned to death by us a long time ago."
Chen Hu frowned and said with a slight hesitation: "However, there is still no news about the two dog slaves who were ordered to bury him. I always feel uneasy in my heart."
"What is there to worry about? Don't forget, they are just two dog slaves in the Xuantu realm. Were they killed by the Taoist robbers on the way to escort the coffin, or were they eaten by Xuan beasts? Who cares!
"
Chen Xiong said loudly: "No matter how they end up, Chen Shen is destined to die anyway, so why are you so worried about adding to the problem for yourself?"
"That's what the elder brother said!"
Chen Hu nodded with deep understanding: "To say the least, even if Chen Shen is not dead, with his rubbish cultivation and stupidity and cowardice, he might not even be able to qualify for the Hundred Schools League.
Let alone break into the top 100!"
Chen Xiong then laughed and patted the other party on the shoulder: "Let's go, the Hundred School League finals are coming soon, let's go and join in the fun."
"By the way, let's take a look at whether there is any young talent from a poor family among the top 100. If there is, take action as soon as possible to bring him into our camp..."
It turns out that Chen Xiong and Chen Hu are both students at the Imperial Capital Academy. The younger brother has just reached the age of a weak man, while the older brother is already twenty-four.
The latter can be regarded as a senior senior in the inner courtyard of Imperial Capital Academy.
Before he is about to leave school after eight years of study, he naturally has to recruit more new talents for himself. Firstly, it can ensure the expediency of his younger brother who still needs to stay in Imperial College for five years; secondly, he can also have more elites to provide for him.
He drives.
As the eldest son of the Grand Elder of the General's Mansion, Chenxiong knows the importance of talents very well!
Those students who can rank among the top 100 in the 100-School League can be described as amazingly talented people.
If they can be subdued, given time, when Tatsuo officially takes over the family, these "old friends and classmates" will become the cornerstone of his power core and are crucial.
At this moment, Chenxiong has already regarded himself as the next successor of the General's Mansion!
Because as far as he knew, the orthodoxy of Chen Shen, the direct lineage, had been poisoned, and Chen Zangfeng was also old. The next successor of the family was destined to be his father, the eldest elder of the Chen family whose prestige was second only to Chen Zangfeng—Chen.
Jinyang.
And after Chen Jinyang dies, the power of the Chen family will naturally fall on him, the eldest son...
It has to be said that the imperial capital of Daxia Kingdom is extremely vast. Hundreds of people rode horses and carriages. From the time they entered the east city gate, they walked for three hours before arriving at the final destination of the trip - the Imperial Capital Academy!
The Royal Hunting Ground, the main venue where the Hundred School League was held in the past, is already big enough, right?
However, when these hundreds of people poured into the Imperial Capital Academy, everyone suddenly realized that even if there were ten royal hunting grounds lined up next to each other, they were only equivalent to half the area of the Imperial Capital Academy...
