After the arrival of the imperial guards from the capital, some of the most prestigious figures in the younger generation of the Ming Dynasty also arrived one after another, among which the nine people from the capital were naturally the most dazzling.

The day of the selection of the nine cities has finally come, and Shengjing has also ushered in the peak of popularity, in addition to the eighty-one young people who participated in the selection of the nine cities, there are many big people who have come one after another. Of course, those who pay the "selection fee" are not counted in this list, they are just eligible to participate.

The location of the selection of the nine cities is arranged in the Xuanwu platform of Shengjing City, each main city of the Ming Dynasty has such a Xuanwu platform, the Xuanwu platform of the capital song is used to hold some important competitions and dynasty martial arts examinations, and the Xuanwu platform of the remaining eight main cities will only be opened during the selection of the nine cities, provided that this city is the host city of this year's nine cities selection.

Li Qinghe and Tang Yin came to the Xuanwu Platform early, and at this time, the front of the Xuanwu Platform was already overcrowded, and on the few seats on the Xuanwu Platform, there were a few people with powerful breaths.

"These are the big names selected by the Nine Cities this time. Tang Yin said.

Li Qinghe shifted his gaze to the Xuanwu platform, looking at several big figures on the stage, Tang Yin had already inquired about the hosts and supervisors of this selection, so Li Qinghe probably knew them.

The first one on the left is a kind old man, wearing a yellow robe with gold trim, and a hovering golden dragon is embroidered at the cuffs, which symbolizes the old man's noble identity - the Imperial Envoy, this identity is the current Holy Emperor, with great power and noble status, and is responsible for the handling of some important events, and the selection of the Nine Cities sent the Imperial Envoy as a supervisor, which shows that the Holy Emperor attaches great importance to the selection of the Nine Cities.

is different from the envoy selected in the city at the beginning, that envoy is not appointed by the Holy Emperor, but randomly assigned, and is only responsible for the selection of each main city in the city, and his status is naturally lower.

Sitting in second place is Gao Tianliang, the city lord of Shengjing, Shengjing City is the host city, and Gao Tianliang is responsible for presiding over the selection of the nine cities.

The third seat is Yi Yuan, the deputy hall master of the Imperial Array Palace, there are a total of three deputy hall masters in the Imperial Array Palace, and one of them came to the selection of the Nine Cities this time, but this deputy hall master is mainly attended as a supervisor on behalf of the people.

The person sitting in the fourth place was Bian Mu, the vice president of the Alchemist Guild, who, like Yi Yuan, was also present as a civil overseer.

"The selection specifications of the nine cities are different, and these big names who are rarely seen on weekdays have gathered together. Tang Yin couldn't help but sigh.

Li Qinghe also nodded sympathetically.

"Look, isn't that the Imperial Iron Guard!" several warriors shouted excitedly.

Li Qinghe looked in the direction they shouted, and sure enough, he saw several people from the imperial iron guard he saw yesterday.

"Among the nine people who came to Chaoge this time, the imperial iron guard accounted for two!"

"It is said that the two commanders of the Imperial Iron Guard, Yang Xiu and Gu Yuan, came!"

"Yang Xiu, Gu Yuan?" Li Qinghe thoughtfully turned his gaze to the two people in front of the Imperial Iron Guard not far away.

As if he had noticed something, the bearded young man turned his gaze to Li Qinghe's direction, and just happened to meet Li Qinghe's gaze, the two glanced at each other, and the bearded young man smiled at him and withdrew his gaze.

Li Qinghe also withdrew his gaze, his face was solemn, and he muttered: "This person is very strong!"

"Gu Yuan, what are you looking at?" asked another young man on the side.

"Nothing, just seeing an interesting person. Gu Yuan said with a smile.

"There are a lot of strong people from the younger generation from the capital this time, and it seems that it will be a fierce battle. Tang Yin said.

In addition to the two members of the Imperial Iron Guard, the nine official candidates also included members of the major families in the capital and even members of the royal family.

On the Xuanwu Stage, Gao Tianliang looked at the sky, nodded with a few people on the side, stood up, looked around the crowd around the Xuanwu Stage, and then walked to the front of the stage, and said loudly: "It's almost time, I'll announce the rules of the Nine Cities selection first." ”

"Before talking about the rules, let me introduce you, this is the envoy sent by the Holy Emperor this time, everyone can call him Su Lao. Su Lao, who was sitting in the first place, also smiled and nodded to the people in the audience.

After introducing Su Lao, Gao Tianliang continued: "The rules of this Nine Cities selection are still the same as before, the contestants need to enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Enchantment, everyone will have a jade card before entering the space, there will be jade cards hidden in many places in the enchantment, you can also compete for other people's jade cards, arrive at the exit of the enchantment at the specified time, and determine the nine candidates and rankings of the Dynasty Martial Arts Examination with the number of jade cards owned by individuals." ”

"Of course, if your life is in danger, you can crush the jade card, so that the jade card will form a spatial force and send you out of the barrier, but this also means that you have been eliminated. ”

"Okay, I've finished introducing the rules, I announce, the selection of the Nine Cities has officially begun!" As Gao Tianliang's voice fell, an entrance to the enchantment appeared on the Xuanwu platform, and an extra jade plaque appeared in everyone's hand.

The surrounding crowd began to enter the enchantment one after another, and Li Qinghe said goodbye to Tang Yin and also entered the enchantment.

As soon as he entered the enchantment, Li Qinghe felt a spatial power, and then his eyes were temporarily blind, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already inside the enchantment.

"Is this the Ten Thousand Beast Enchantment?" Li Qinghe said, standing on the somewhat cracked ground.

"It's so hard to find such a big barrier. Li Qinghe looked at the towering mountains in the distance and was a little speechless.

Escaping the jade plate in his hand, he saw the word "beast" engraved on the jade plate, and Li Qinghe was about to use his soul power to check it, when the jade card suddenly glowed and became a little hot.

Li Qinghe was surprised, so he walked forward for a while. After walking for a long time, the jade plaque became brighter and brighter, Li Qinghe looked up and found himself at the foot of a mountain range, and then soon found a jade plaque in a pile of leaves under a tree.

"I see. Li Qinghe suddenly realized. These jade plaques are all interconnected, and if there is a jade plaque nearby, the other jade plaque will glow and become hot.

Picking up the jade plaques on the ground, both jade plaques are the same and engraved with the same words.

Li Qinghe understood the way to find the jade plate, so he took the jade card in his hand and walked towards the depths of the enchantment.

The young people in the enchantment soon discovered the usefulness of the jade plaque, so they all rushed forward, looking for the jade plaque everywhere. Soon, there were many battles, and with the elimination of some people, the number of jade medals in the hands of others increased.

Outside the barrier, the four people on the Xuanwu platform all looked at the light curtain in the sky, which was a light curtain projected through the barrier, and the images inside the barrier could be seen.
