In the Dongcheng District of the imperial capital, the streets that should have been bustling with people coming and going were now mostly gathered in one place.
Human heads, horse heads, and sedan heads were arranged from the perimeter of a three-story restaurant that was hardly grand to seven or eight streets away. It was truly an unprecedented event!
The three-story pavilion has four powerful characters written on the plaque: Tianqi Bao Pavilion.
In a quarter of an hour, the opening ceremony of Tianqibao Pavilion will be ushered in.
Some people arrived here early and thus grabbed a front position.
As for those who came late, they had to wait far away.
No matter who you are, before Tianqibao Pavilion is officially opened, the door will never be opened, and you can only wait outside.
There are hundreds of first-class magnates in the imperial capital, and thousands of aristocratic red families. The "class privileges" that these people have tried so well in the past are not easy to use in Tianqibao Pavilion.
In other words, they didn't dare to do it.
Most people were aware of Chen Xiaohai's pressure when he was promoted to Xuan King.
There are also some senior officials who know the inside story, and they know even more clearly that the newly promoted one-star Xuan King is actually just a subordinate of the Tianqi Pavilion Master.
The owner of this inconspicuous three-story pavilion is a four-star Xuanwang!
Since there is a notice posted in front of the pavilion: line up in order, and those who use any forceful means to jump in line will not be allowed in! Then, no one dares to offend them easily.
The result was the birth of the first batch of "ticket dealers" in the continent.
Because they arrived earlier, they occupied a more advantageous position, so one or two of them started shouting: "I have a good position here, three hundred gold coins, I will exchange it with whoever pays."
"I'm more forward, five hundred gold coins, no two prices!"
"I am only a hundred steps away from the gate of Tianqibao Pavilion. Whoever gives me a thousand gold will get this position!"
…
In fact, these "ticket dealers" were ordered by Chen Shen, Zhang Yidao and Lu Yijian a long time ago.
The money earned from the sales can be regarded as "tips" to the various political forces in the imperial capital.
This investment, which is not a big one, has made all the political forces in the imperial capital very enthusiastic about it, and they have a great impression of Tianqi Bao Pavilion.
The master of the pavilion is a four-star Xuanwang, but he does not use his power to bully others, let alone look down on the rough and treacherous people in the world. He is a very good character!
It can be foreseen that in the next few days, the prestige of Master Tianqi Pavilion will spread far and wide in the world.
With such a great reputation, whether it is the Crown Prince or the King of Great Xia, when he wants to retaliate against the people in Tianqibao Pavilion in the future, he will inevitably have many scruples...
"Master Long, would you like me to buy a seat near the front?" An old man with a gray mask and a slightly stooped figure asked respectfully.
This old man is none other than the great eunuch: Li Zongming.
The "Dragon Lord" he refers to is Xia Yuanlong, the king of Great Xia.
At this time, Xia Yuanlong's face was also covered by a cyan mask, and his royal robe was changed into a brocade robe from a wealthy family. He held a string of agate beads in his hand and played with them casually.
"No, just wait here."
Xia Yuanlong smiled calmly: "It hasn't opened yet, so there's no point in squeezing to the front. Why not climb up here and look up, and see how many acquaintances are here?"
Among the dignitaries present, 20% were high-ranking officials in the court. Aren't they "acquaintances" of the emperor?
"Well? That girl Xia Caiyue is here too. She also wears a gauze over her face, which is similar to Gu's attire."
With the power of Xia Yuanlong's Seven-Star Xuan King's soul, in just a few minutes, he was able to scan all the dark crowds around Tianqibao Pavilion. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Huh? Why didn't Lao Chen come to join in the fun?"
Li Zongming knew of course that the "Old Chen" in His Majesty's words referred to General Chen Zangfeng, so he chuckled and replied respectfully: "Old General is always like this."
"Yeah. I just like this about him." King Daxia nodded slowly.
Although they did not specify which point it was, both Li Zongming and Dian Long knew that what His Majesty was referring to was Chen Zangfeng's three faults as a person: he never formed parties for personal gain, he never made irresponsible remarks, and he never stayed idle.
Most of the high-ranking officials in the imperial capital had nothing to do and came to join in the fun at the opening ceremony of Paotian Qibao Pavilion.
No matter what their intentions were, Xia Yuanlong, who was determined to recruit the master of Tianqi Pavilion, would inevitably feel a little unhappy in his heart.
The only exception was Chen Zangfeng, which greatly pleased the emperor.
Not long after, the Tianqibao attic door opened wide.
Immediately, the core members of Baoge, headed by Chen Shen, walked out one after another, jumped up to the roof of the building.
There were seven people in total, and none of them wore dark golden masks on their faces. This made all the guests who came here very puzzled -
"What...are you doing? Are you still wearing a mask?"
"They all wear the same mask, how can you tell who is who? How funny."
"No, it's different. If you look closely, each mask has different words engraved on its forehead."
"Hey, it's true! Heaven, earth, left, right, soldiers, food, general, what do you mean?"
"According to the common sense that the sky is the greatest, the person wearing the Tianzihao mask may be the Pavilion Master, right?"
…
When the crowd was talking a lot, Chen Shen slowly pressed his hand to signal them to be quiet.
Then he secretly activated the three spiritual transformations of Xuan Bao, raised his cultivation level by nine stars, and then secretly used the mysterious skill Little Lion's Roar, with a sound like a bell: "Isn't it great to have friends from far away? I am very lucky, Tianqi Bao Pavilion is very lucky.
, we can have heroes from all walks of life come to support us!"
A simple opening statement, but it left everyone stunned!
"Four-star Xuanwang? Oh my god... It seems that the rumors are true. The newly promoted one-star Xuanwang last night is just a subordinate of Master Tianqi Pavilion. This four-star Xuanwang is the real master!"
"Good boy... In addition to the royal family, the General's Mansion, and the five great alchemy giant families, Daxia has never had a force with two Xuan Kings."
"Well, what's more, the master of Tianqi Pavilion himself has reached the four-star realm of Xuanwang. No wonder he dares to make such a big show..."
It was one thing for the King of Daxia to listen to reports from Li Zongming and Dian Long before.
Now, he personally felt the power of the mysterious energy generated when the Tianqi Pavilion master poured his energy into his throat and shouted loudly, and he could confirm that the opponent's cultivation level was indeed that of a four-star Xuanwang.
His originally somewhat lazy eyes suddenly burst into glory: "Such a great talent, I will definitely get it!"
On the other side, Chen Jinyang, who also came to watch the excitement, couldn't help but frown: "Why is there another four-star Xuan King? If he is attracted by Xia Yuanlong, then there will be some trouble..."
The ten elders of the Chen family, in addition to the eldest elder Chen Jinyang, the second elder Chen Qibing also came to the scene.
When Chen Shen saved the lives of his two sons in Xuan Beast Mountain Forest, Chen Qibing was already full of gratitude to Master Tianqi Pavilion.
Now that they met for the second time, after the other party revealed his cultivation as a four-star Xuan King, Chen Qibing was not disappointed, but felt more at ease: "It turns out that he is not a Xuan King, so the gap between us is not as big as imagined.
Being so big, it should be easier to make friends..."
