In the western suburbs of Zulong City, for the purpose of the Trial Tower, the Xia Empire specially emptied the surrounding residents for several miles and established extremely strict defense measures. Those who are qualified to live here are those who are truly
The real wealthy family standing at the top of the empire!
Walked along the way.
It can be seen that there are many wealthy mansions and a large number of research institutes, many of which are guarded by heavily armed soldiers.
Inside Zulong City, Fang Zheng originally felt that it was full of life.
And now it seems...is it because those really important institutions have been moved to the western suburbs?
Liu Xiaoran sent Fang Zheng to a few hundred meters in front of the trial tower.
"I can only send you here. I will appear as Di Qingyi later, so I can't let Liu Xiaoran appear. After all, it's better to be careful!"
Liu Xiaoran winked playfully at Fang Zheng, making this expression with Di Qingyi's noble and handsome face, which seemed particularly... well, Fang Zheng couldn't help but want to laugh anyway.
Wave goodbye.
Watch the black car drive away.
She was specially sent here... It seemed that she was the one who asked. In fact, even if she didn't ask, she would probably take the initiative to tell her request.
She is just greedy for my things, a pretentious woman.
Fangzheng stepped forward.
But my mind couldn't help but start thinking.
What kind of list should I make for her?
Hmm...or rather, what do I need now?!
He planned to go back and think about it carefully.
There are not many opportunities to reasonably bleed the king of a country.
Maybe this is the only time in my life...
It must be grasped.
Thinking about walking.
I quickly identified dozens of things I needed in my mind, and then quietly wrote them down.
Wait until you come to your senses.
It was stopped by a group of heavily armed Dragon Guards.
"I am Fang Zheng who participated in this Wuzun demonstration. This is my proof!"
Fang Zheng took out the invitation letter from before.
After the inspection, the leader of the Dragon Guard nodded, gave a military salute to Fang Zheng, and said: "Your Majesty, please!"
Fang Zheng nodded.
Move forward and keep walking.
Ahead...
The majestic tower, as tall as the clouds, stands among the clouds. It is covered by the clouds and cannot see the end.
Tower of Trials.
Fang Zheng took a deep breath and walked to the foot of the tower...
Under the giant tower is a huge and extremely wide platform.
At this time, the stage was already full of people.
At this time, most of the twenty-three Martial Lords had arrived.
Some were pacing back and forth nervously, while others were standing there with uneasy faces, looking up at the tower from time to time. Obviously, although the Char Empire hopes to have more and more martial masters, it cannot succeed if it lacks hard power or insufficient foundation.
of.
Basically, about one-third of the people are screened out every year.
They are all worried, will they be the one selected?
If it is true...it was so glorious before coming here, and how disgraced it will be when the time comes.
But when you receive the invitation, you have the right to choose whether to agree or not. Since you choose to come, you obviously have confidence in your own strength, so no matter what the consequences are, you must bear them yourself.
And in the distance...
There are also about five or six old men with extraordinary temperament, some are already in their 70s, some are still energetic, and they seem to be strong!
These people are obviously of high status.
All have exclusive seats.
Fang Zheng recognized it at a glance...
Hmm, those people who look polite and look like veteran cadres must be the people sitting in the parliament, right?
And some old people have rough faces, casual clothes, and seem carefree... Well... I feel that being in the Parliament and the Council of Elders is probably equivalent to the civil and military positions in the government.
No wonder they can't get along.
Noticed Fang Zheng's gaze.
Everyone's eyes fell on him... seeing how young he was.
Most of them smiled kindly at him, having already guessed the identity of this person.
Founder...
A man who refused the position of city guard general.
However, the elders of the Elder Council do not have much hostility towards Fang Zheng. You know... Fang Zheng's father successfully broke through the Martial Master rank three days ago and officially became the city guard general of Yunqi City. He also became
A reserve elder of the Senate!
Although it is very likely that he will remain a reserve veteran for the rest of his life.
But as long as he is a reserve elder, even though Fang Zheng clearly rejected the invitation from the Elders Association, there is not much hostility between the two.
On the contrary, it was another octogenarian.
He seemed to be very old, much older than everyone present, and his figure was quite tall, but his originally straight back was slightly swollen due to old age, and his eyes were filled with unpredictable emotions and anger.
He stared at Fang Zheng with no emotion at all.
Zhou Yunze!!!
Although no one introduced him, he thought of the Zhou family master Liu Xiaoran mentioned before who was about to expire... and the old guy in front of him seemed to be the oldest among them.
Is he Zhou Yunze?
The look he gave me was not very friendly. Could it be that Zhou Qingfeng had complained to him that time?
Fang Zheng thought to himself secretly, but he didn't really care.
As Liu Xiaoran said, the old man in front of him has only a short lifespan. In fact, the older he is, the more he cherishes his life.
If you break through his bottom line, no one will be able to withstand his desperate counterattack if he doesn't stop fighting.
But if he doesn't break through the bottom line, he will risk his life more than anyone else.
Fang Zheng turned his eyes and pretended not to see him.
Time passes slowly...
Later, there were more and more people on the huge high platform.
Moreover, the people who came here were all highly skilled people. There were only a few martial arts masters, and they seemed to be junior descendants of each family, bringing with them increased knowledge.
The real masters are those Grandmasters and Martial Lords.
And everyone started to move around...some new warriors met acquaintances and chatted for a few words.
But it was just a few words.
If one cannot become an orthodox Martial Lord, this so-called exchange will be completely meaningless.
"Your Majesty has arrived."
Suddenly, there was an extremely sharp whistle.
From a distance.
More than a dozen luxury cars stopped under the high platform, and then a woman in royal robes walked out of them.
His face is absolutely beautiful and his majesty is inviolable.
Although his figure is thin, he is still graceful, elegant and graceful when wearing the complicated imperial robe.
"Join Your Majesty!"
Everyone present bowed their heads slightly at the same time. It was obvious that the emperor did not bow to him because his strength had reached the level of martial master.
There were a lot of people present, dozens of people in total... more than 80% of them were Martial Lords!
Perhaps they were too excited, but several newly promoted warriors still took the initiative to kneel to the ground in front of the empress... and then a burst of deep laughter arose.
As soon as those martial arts masters' knees touched the ground, they reacted strangely. When they heard the sound of ridicule, they understood.
But at this time, the situation was like standing up or kneeling down...everyone's face could not help but look swollen and congested.
Emperor Qingyi smiled and said: "My lords, you don't have to be so courteous. I know your loyalty. As a martial lord, I just keep my respect in my heart. There is no need to show it externally like this."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The martial masters took advantage of the situation and stood up, sighing softly, feeling secretly annoyed, knowing that they would definitely be underestimated because of this move.
Emperor Qingyi waved his hands to the people around him and said, "Please, gentlemen, you are all my ministers, so you don't need to worry too much about red tape."
"yes!"
Everyone stood up together.
Di Qingyi smiled slightly, his eyes fell on Zhou Yunze, he took a few steps forward and said: "Mr. Zhou, why are you here... Wu Zun's argument is important, but it is only a matter for the juniors, so I can't trouble you.
You have worked so hard and you are already old, why don’t you come here to enjoy your life at home?!”
Fang Zheng's heart moved slightly.
She knew in her heart that she was speaking to herself.
"Even though I am old, I should do what I should do. Just like this Wu Zun's argument, it is the main way for our Xiaya Empire to deliver high-end combat power. I should pay attention to it."
Zhou Yunze chuckled and said: "However, since I am here, I still have something to ask of Your Majesty... It is not because I am shameless, but because of the special circumstances at home, I can only ask Your Majesty to speak."
"whats the matter?!"
"I would like to borrow the genetic enhancer!"
As soon as these words came out.
Fang Zheng's consciousness could clearly hear that Di Qingyi's heart suddenly beat violently.
