Chapter 201: Creamy Corn Roast (9) [One Update]
I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but the first day of the competition happened to be the first day of June. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
On this day, the eyes of everyone in the imperial capital converged on the central square of the central axis of the imperial capital.
The central square is designed like an ancient Roman forum, and the open space in the middle is recessed, and there is a square platform about 100 zhang long in the middle open space. It was for competitions.
There are 16 passages around the square, and there are 16 passages in order to prevent stampedes when entering and exiting.
The square is all made of beige marble, which is magnificent, but there are flashes of light from time to time.
When the audience came to the square, they saw seven people sitting on the high platform in the middle. The seven men, both men and women, were dressed in black robes, and the emblem of the Imperial Academy embroidered with gold thread on their chests was very conspicuous.
"Are they the students who are swinging?" someone whispered.
"Wouldn't it, there's not even a ceremony?" Even if it's a martial arts competition, you have to say something before you start.
"What kind of ceremony do you want? The news only indicates that they want to swing and meet the challenge of the world's heroes. I didn't say that this was advocated by the Imperial Academy. "Humane next to him.
All kinds of words were drifting around, and no matter what others said, the seven people sitting cross-legged on the high platform were not affected in the slightest, and they still sat there with their backs straight, waiting for the time to come.
Lin Fan watched the sun rise little by little, and said, "The time is coming soon." Before coming, the dean told him to try to show off on the basis of winning. Otherwise......"
"Otherwise, if you can't sell your tickets tomorrow, you will come to us to settle accounts, right? "If it weren't for the current occasion, Dongfang Zhen really wanted to give the dean and his father a middle finger.
Why didn't you find out that the two of them were so slamming the door before? Now it's okay, it's a piece, and it's embarrassing!
"They planned it, and it cost a lot of money. We can add a little bit is a little bit. ”
"If all the tickets are sold, they will have a net income of 20 million taels a day, not including the ticket price operation on the black market, and the operation of the casino. It's heart-wrenching to think about such a big piece of meat, I can't even take a bite!" Dongfang Zhen said with a painful expression.
Several other people looked at him instantly, and the character of co-authoring money should be inherited in the family.
While a few people were chatting, the spectators in the stands were already sitting. There are commoners, nobles, and cultivators, and it is probably only on such occasions that people of different classes will sit together on an equal footing.
Then the bell in the square rang, and Lin Fan took the lead in standing up, "It's time." ”
There is no superfluous rhetoric, and there is no grand opening ceremony. It's as if they casually discussed it, and then set up the ring here, looking childish to make people think that the people in the middle of the venue are liars, deliberately shouting such a gimmick, just to get the money in their pockets.
When everyone looked at their age again, they all had young faces, and they didn't look like powerful cultivators. Immediately, there was an uproar in the crowd.
"I kind of regret coming to buy this ticket. Someone had already shouted, "I spent a hundred taels of silver, what are you looking for? Is it just to see these little hairy children who have not dried up? With this silver, I might as well go to Yihong Pavilion and find a young and beautiful girl!"
Suddenly, someone next to him was not happy, "You are screaming nonsense, don't you see people wearing the uniforms of the Imperial Academy? They must be students of the Academy, so we want to spend a hundred taels of silver to watch them perform." ”
"Maybe this dress is fake? Besides, aren't those cultivators very noble, and I've never seen anyone make money like this in person. They're definitely liars!"
"At this time, you have bought all the tickets, what's the use of shouting here. Love to see but not to look at it!"
All kinds of remarks were in a mess, but the vast majority of people felt that they had been deceived, thinking that they had spent a hundred taels of silver, and what they saw should not be these young people playing at home.
Little by little, the commotion in the arena spread, and these were watched by the few people sitting in the VIP seats. There was a look of satisfaction in their eyes, if the Imperial Academy wanted to build momentum, it would depend on whether they agreed or not. His Majesty the Emperor wanted to take the opportunity to make money and hone His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but it was not so smooth.
"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dies in this ring, then the fun will be great. One laughed.
"No, I can't wait to see that. ”
"Power is the most fascinating thing. ”
As they were talking, they suddenly saw a young man in the middle of the venue looking towards them, his eyebrows and eyes sharpened, which made their hearts stop beating for a while, but then they were a little annoyed.
They are noble, how can they be frightened by a young boy like this.
"Who's that?"
"I heard that it was the first day of the Imperial Academy, but Lin Fan. ”
"Then it will all be scrapped. ”
In this world, there are always some people who always feel that the world revolves around him. As soon as others do not obey his will, they take it for granted that others deserve to die.
This is true of the green-robed women, and so is their group of so-called nobles.
Lin Fan took his gaze back, and he vaguely understood in his heart why the dean and the emperor were only operating this matter in secret.
It turns out that the Tobu Empire is not as monolithic as it seems. Especially the current royal family only has a single seedling of the crown prince, if Dongfang Zhen dies......
Thinking of this possibility, Lin Fan pursed his lips and decided that he had to tell everyone about this matter after he went back today.
The commotion in the stands continued, because of the instigation of some well-intentioned people, many people's dissatisfaction was gradually growing, and the surrounding noise was like a vegetable market.
Xiao Qi and the six of them also came, and when they heard the ugly or contemptuous and vicious remarks around them, their faces immediately turned red with anger.
"Love to look at it and don't look at it, where is there so much nonsense!" Ling Xiaoxiao said with a clenched fist.
Liu Shiyi beside her was a little calmer, "But, but why hasn't anyone come on stage to challenge yet?"
The second child next to him suddenly remembered something, "Xiao Qi, didn't you tell Elder Liu yesterday that we should be the first to go?"
"That's right. Xiao Qi stuck out her tongue, she seemed to have forgotten this stubble.
"Then don't hurry up! After five minutes, it's equivalent to abstention. Now Gan Ping, who had just broken through the Huadan Realm, couldn't wait to get a seat under his feet and jumped up to the high platform.
"Wait for me!" Liu Shiyi and Ling Xiaoxiao also flew up.
The remaining Xiao Qi and Xiao Shu looked at the second brother together, "Second brother, can you climb up?"
The second child suddenly blushed, "You look down on me too much! You go first, and I'll arrive later." ”
Xiao Qi and Xiao Shu looked at each other suspiciously, and then saw the second child stepping up the steps.

When he wrote this book, he promised to give him three wives and four concubines with the wind. If nothing else, he is probably the only one among the more important characters to open a harem.
