Chapter 238: Xuantian Contest (1)
Emperor Chu was not without doubts, why Murong Lingxue could show her beauty, but the little prince was ordered to wear half a white jade mask, don't say that this is the costume of the heir of the Murong family, Murong Yu didn't do it like this back then! An Shuli was afraid that her mask would be taken off, and even used the artifact residual shadow mask. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoIs the future head of the Murong family so unsightly? Now that I think about it, maybe it's not because the little boy is too beautiful or too ugly that An Shuli is forced to hide her appearance, it's just that she looks too much like her biological father, this is a secret that An Shuli has kept for more than ten years, how can she allow others to easily reveal it?
Emperor Chu has been unable to understand all these years, Murong Yu and An Shuli are obviously just brother and sister, why did they suddenly become relatives? If it is because An Shuli is pregnant and has nowhere to go, and urgently needs such a man to share the responsibility for her, everything can be explained.
"It's no wonder, Xiao Feng'er is lively and cute and informal, that black hair is scattered all the year round, and the white rope is tied casually, and Xiao Jiu's meticulously combed hair is really too different!" Emperor Chu complained while helping the Nine Princes comb their hair, "You said that three years ago, why didn't you scatter your hair so that we can take a look?
"Feng'er didn't just take a white rope, it was heavenly silk!" Yun Mo corrected.
"It's all the same, anyway, I've never seen her comb her hair well!" Emperor Chu couldn't help but look at his younger brother again, not to mention, the appearance of the Nine Princes with his hair scattered did add a bit of uninhibited charm. Nangong Qingye was born too delicately, many years ago the second prince said that if Xiao Jiu is willing to put on women's clothes and stand with Xiao Li, then who is the first beauty in Nanchu is not necessarily! But after all, Jiu Wang Ye is a real man, and he is a military general on the battlefield, he must dress himself up calmly and roughly, old-fashioned, and barely offset his delicate face, so as to deter his soldiers and generals and enemy soldiers and horses.
The Nine Princes had not spoken, and it seemed that he had not yet recovered from this shocking news. Emperor Chu smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Take advantage of it this time." Since Xiaoli is willing to give birth to you as a child, it means that she has you in her heart, and she should try to chase people back! The Nine Kings Mansion has been deserted for so many years, and it is time to have a hostess. β
Yun Mo was not as optimistic as Emperor Chu, "Even if what we speculate is true, Feng'er may not recognize the father of Uncle Jiu." β
At the beginning in Chujing, the two sisters of the Murong family did not recognize the Nine Princes, not to mention that now Nangong Qingye also slapped the little prince, Murong Lingfeng's situation seems to be very bad.
The atmosphere in the carriage was solemn again.
Outside the carriage, Qi Rong knocked on the door, "Your Majesty, it's time to go to the Shangguan Mansion!"
After being silent for a long time, Emperor Chu was the first to stand up, "Let's solve the matter of the Xuantian competition first!"
Yun Mo got out of the carriage with Emperor Chu and the Nine Princes and walked into Shangguan's Mansion.
Xuantian City is the forbidden city of Zhantian Palace, and it is also the gateway of Zhantian Palace. The Shangguan family, a family that guards the city, also occupies a pivotal position in the Zhantian Palace. To put it bluntly, Xuantian City is the Elder's House of Zhantian Palace. The leaders of the five branches of the Shangguan family are the five elders of the Zhantian Palace - the Great Elder Shangguan Huo, the Second Elder Shangguan You, the Third Elder Shangguan Yao, the Fourth Elder Shangguan Ke, and the Fifth Elder Shangguan Yue. However, fifteen years ago, the third elder Shangguan Yao and the son of the fifth elder, Shangguan Diansheng, staged a failed coup d'Γ©tat, and were expelled from the Shangguan family, and the two of them were not allowed to enter the Nine Cities again. Therefore, in the current Xuantian City, there were only four elders left.
The daughter of the Great Elder, Shangguan Dianrou, married Ye Ze, the head of the Ye family, and gave birth to two sons, one was Ye Huaxi, the heir of the Ye family they had seen, and the other was entered into the family tree of the Shangguan family, named Shangguan Mingluo, and the Great Elder inherited the position of the elder of Zhantian Palace after a hundred years. The second elder's family is also a girl, and coincidentally, the second elder's daughter, Shangguan Dianning, is married to Xihuajun Baili Huayu. Baili Huayu won Shangguan Dianning with ten miles of red makeup, and swore in front of the second elder that he would only have this wife in this life, and he would never let Shangguan Dianning suffer the slightest grievance! Baili Huayu did it. There is only one Empress Dianning in the huge Xihua harem. Shangguan Dianning is also angry, and gave birth to three sons and one daughter for Baili Huayu. The eldest son, Baili Lanqing, and the second son, Baili Youqing, stayed in the Xihua Palace, while the younger son, Shangguan Mingchu, and his daughter Shangguan Mingmei, were taken back to Xuantian City by the second elder, and Chenghuan was on his knees. Therefore, the relationship between Xihua Palace and Jiucheng can be said to be inexhaustible. This is also why the four countries never dared to affect Xihua in the war.
The three of them were led inside by the little servant. A man in a green shirt stood outside the door of the conference hall to greet the guests, and everyone present had to respectfully salute him and say a few more greetings. The man looks like he is no more than twenty or thirty years old, and he gets such respect, and his identity must not be simple. The Ninth Prince turned his head sideways and asked Emperor Chu, "Who is that?"
Emperor Chu shook his head, "I don't know, it should be someone from the Shangguan family." β
He said that people called him Young Master. Yun Mo replied. Last night the man said they would see each other soon, presumably because he already knew his identity.
Young Master Yu also saw them, so he raised his feet and walked over. He ignored Emperor Chu and the Nine Princes, and just looked at Yun Mo with a smile, "Let's just say that my brother and I are destined to be people, how about it?
Emperor Chu and the Nine Princes both looked at Yun Moβhow?
Yun Mo moved the jade flute in his hand - he gave it!
Young Master Yu smiled, "In Xia Shangguan Dianyu, he is the son of Shangguan Ke, the fourth elder of Zhantian Palace. "The fourth elder came to have a son, and he only had such a son in his forties, and he was very fond of him. It is also for this reason that although Shangguan Dianyu is much different in age from Ye Huaxi, he is a generation older than them.
Yun Mo returned the salute, "Nangong Yun Mo." β
Shangguan Dianyu knew Yun Mo, otherwise he would not easily give him such a valuable jade flute. He glanced at the jade flute that Yun Mo was holding in his hand, "It seems that the Holy Lord really likes this flute." β
"Actually, it's a waste to give me this jade flute, I don't know the rhythm, but I can't forget the sound of the flute last night. He deliberately tried to test Shangguan Dianyu, "I wonder if I can ask the young master to play another song, so that Yun Mo has the opportunity to listen to the sound of heaven?"
Shangguan Dianyu was stunned for a moment, his face was obviously a little hesitant, and he said unnaturally, "I'm afraid not now, wait for the opportunity." Holy Lord inside please. β
Shangguan Dianyu's momentary hesitation once again confirmed Yun Mo's speculation. At the end of the point, Yun Mo didn't embarrass him anymore, and entered the venue with the Nine Princes of Emperor Chu.
Almost all the people from the eighteen villages in the four countries came. Beiyang attended the joint meeting was the newly enthroned King Xiahou Yao of Beiyang and the great eunuch Bi Wei, who is now in charge of Beiyang under one person and above 10,000 people. The two of them can be regarded as aware of the current situation, although Liang Jing, the capital of Beiyang Kingdom, was captured by Yun Mo twice, but Xiahou Yao actually did not hold a grudge against Yun Mo. On the contrary, if it weren't for the help of the Holy Prince, I'm afraid that his road to succession would have been more difficult. Therefore, now the relationship between Beiyang and Nanchu is more intimate. In comparison, Dong Luo was very dissatisfied with Nan Chu. Emperor Dongluo was really afraid of Nangong Yunmo, and at the same time, he hated him very much. Helian Qi, the eldest prince who was traveling with Emperor Dongluo, was even more eager to pull Yun Mo's tendons and peel off his skin! The insults he had insulted in front of the army would appear in his dreams every night, so how could he forget it? However, the second prince Helian Rong, who was sitting next to him, seemed much calmer. Everywhere there are some straw bales, and there are wise men everywhere. Helian Rong was the one who could carry it, but he didn't want to take over the mess of Dongluo, he just sat on the sidelines and watched his father and brother stumble.
Xihua was the first to arrive. They are related to the Shangguan family. I haven't seen him for more than half a year, the second elder misses his daughter and grandson, and Shangguan Dianning also misses his father and children. Baili Huayu simply didn't return to the post house, and lived in the second elder's house with his wife and children.
Three years ago, when Baili Lanqing left Nanchu, he wanted to take Nangong Zixuan with him. However, Nangong Zixuan has just been freed from one royal family, and she never wants to fall into another one. So she rejected Baili Lanqing, and quietly left Chujing with Yun Qian, the owner of Yunxi Building, and has not been heard from since. Seeing that Baili Lanqing's whole person had lost weight, he must have bothered to find Nangong Zixuan.
Speaking of which, Xihua's impression of the Holy Lord is not bad, but he doesn't treat the Ninth Prince very well. In Baili Youqing's words, what he injured was the little baby that the entire Xihua royal family held in the palm of his hand, and this is a deep hatred and hatred that is not shared with the sky! Therefore, when he saw the people from Nanchu coming in, Xihua was not very enthusiastic, he should eat, drink, and talk about something, anyway, he just treated them as air and turned a blind eye.
A short time later, several elders walked in. Today's association is mainly for tomorrow's Xuantian competition. Because this year's competition is very different from previous ones, many things must be explained clearly by the Shangguan family.
Shangguan Huo asked people to bring a few boxes of things to distribute to them, "Tomorrow's competition will be held in Molin Mountain. This mountain is extremely dangerous, not only the terrain is extremely steep, but also there are many fierce beasts. You go back and ask clearly, it's still too late to quit. β
Everyone present was silent, they knew that the Xuantian competition would not be so easy, two thousand and one hundred, this is to let them fight with their lives!
Shangguan Huo continued, "I have written the rules of the competition in detail in my letter, so I think everyone knows it! Those who are sure to enter Mount Morin will gather at the foot of Mount Morin tomorrow, and we will distribute a map, a day's dry food, and a pot of water to each person. Shangguan Huo took out something that looked like a bamboo tube from those boxes. "This is a ringing arrow, and you can throw it into the air when you are in danger. Xuantian City had already sent people to hide in the Morin Mountain, and they would rush to the rescue when they saw the arrows. We will do our best to keep you safe, but we can't do it absolutely. To be fair, if someone fires an arrow, it means that he has abstained from voting, and must leave Mount Morin immediately. Even if you have found a qualification card, that card will be voided. Netherworld trials do not seek more, but seek refinement. The duration of the competition is three days. After three days, we will close the gate until the Nether Trial is over. Therefore, if someone fails to get out of Morin Mountain within the stipulated time, then I am afraid that they will have to be wronged to live in Morin Mountain for another period of time. Shangguan Huo explained the rules clearly, "Do you still have any questions?"
"The Xuantian competition is going to take three days, but you only provide one day's dry food and a pot of water, so what will we eat and drink in the next two days?"
The owner of Miao Village beside him is much more shrewd than him, "Molin Mountain is a treasure mountain, what is there in the mountain?
Miao Xin is still upright, and Min Sheng, the owner of Min Village, is even more insidious, "If you are not used to eating wild meat, you can also rob other people! But there are 2,000 people in the mountain, which is quite a lot!"
The Great Elder stroked his beard and agreed with the words of the two of them, "What the two village masters said is good, being able to survive for three days in Molin Mountain is also one of the Xuantian competitions. If you can't even do this, then the Netherworld Trial will not be a blessing for you, but a catastrophe for your life!"
Everyone looked at the smile on his face, and their children didn't have to go into the mountains to starve for a few meals, they didn't feel distressed, and it was not a big deal to watch the excitement typically!
"The matter of dry food is reasonable, but I still have some questions about the qualification card. "This time it was Yao Qing, the owner of Yao Zhai, who raised the question. Yao Qing is obviously a man who stands up to the sky, but he always likes to wear a bright red. He prides himself on being naturally beautiful and difficult to give up, and often dresses up in fancy ways. Among these people, the one he likes to provoke the most is the Nine Princes of Southern Chu. He often said that Nangong Qingye was his enemy of fate, and one day he must admit that he was the most beautiful man in the world! "If the qualification card we found was snatched away, or exchanged for it in other ways under coercion and inducement, then how should we deal with it? After all, the power of our eighteen villages is weak, and if there is a threat of a strong enemy, we will have to follow it!" Yao Qing's eyes glanced straight at the Nine Princes when he said this, as if he meant something, "Zhan Tiangong said in the letter that there is a way to achieve absolute fairness, can you tell us what the method is?"
The Great Elder seemed to be prepared for this, and he beckoned to the back, and the butler behind him handed over a rectangular black wooden box. The Great Elder opened the lid and put the box up for everyone to see, "This is the qualification card. He took out the qualification card from the box and handed it to Baili Huayu, who was sitting beside him, "You can pass it on." β
The qualification card looks like it is made of jade, which is very delicate. Everyone looked up and down, but they didn't see anything special.
However, when the small jade plate was passed to the master of Cao Zhai, it disappeared out of thin air in front of everyone's eyes. Lord Cao Zhai was immediately dumbfounded, "This ...... This...... I didn't touch it!Great Elder, I ......."
Shangguan Huo smiled and reassured him, "Master Cao Zhai, don't panic, the qualification card is here!" He rolled up his sleeves to reveal half of his arm, only to see a tattoo with the same pattern as the qualification card appear on the inside of his wrist. "Only the first person who touches the badge will have such a tattoo, and within a stick of incense, the badge will disappear. I don't know this method, but you are still satisfied. β
