Chapter 291: Prizes, Prizes
Full of green sauce to stay in the king,
Don't hurry back.
Three points of spring and two points of sorrow,
More wind and rain.
Flowers bloom Xie,
Let's have a little bit.
and sang and sued.
I don't know when the peony is coming,
Where to meet again.
--------- "Farewell to the Holy Dynasty"
Even among all the spectators, Shi Jiu was the only contestant who left the most impression on everyone.
Next was the exciting moment of awards, Brother Scar and Duan Wushuang had been waiting for this moment for a long time, not only the two of them, in fact, everyone wanted to see what the rich prizes provided by the Great Palace were, so Shi Jiu and the others couldn't hold back their ecstasy.
As Li Laifu, the head of the inner court, loudly announced that the award ceremony was now open, bursts of drums rang out in unison, all kinds of salutes and fireworks rose into the sky above the coaching ground, and thousands of soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army ran into the center of the coaching field with colorful flags held high.
Li Laifu cleared his throat, and he shouted: "Please invite the champion Tu Xiaorui, the runner-up Dongxue and the third runner-up, our second prince Tie Chao to take the stage to receive the award!"
Brother Scar pushed hard behind Tu Xiaorui and Dong Xue, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and get our prize back!"
Tu Xiaorui and Dong Xue walked to the ring in the middle at the same time, and at this moment, the Great Prince Tiefei and King Dracula also left the table at the same time, and each of them was followed by two messengers from the Great Palace.
Each messenger is holding a gorgeous brocade jade box in his hand, and inside these brocade jade boxes must be the prize of the Imperial Invitational Tournament - Emperor-grade weapons!
After Tu Xiaorui and Dongxue and the three of them stood still, the Great Prince Tiefei and King Dracula also stood opposite them.
The Great Prince Tiefei and the King of Dracula each received a brocade jade box, and they awarded two brocade jade boxes to Tu Xiaorui at the same time.
Dongxue and Tie Chao had the eldest prince alone to issue their respective brocade jade boxes.
After the award, Tie Fei didn't let Tu Xiaorui leave directly, he stretched out his hand and pulled Tu Xiaorui and asked softly, are you interested in staying in Fancheng?
Tu Xiaorui paused for a moment, and before he could ask what the reason was, the eldest prince Tiefei had already told him.
The imperial royal family is forming an army, and Tie Fei has already reorganized the 10,000-strong Imperial Forest Army and the 40,000 border guards guarding Fancheng into a Flying Feather Army with new combat effectiveness, and the current Flying Feather Army is in great need of Battle Star Fighters like Tu Xiaorui and Dong Xue.
Dong Xue and Tu Xiaorui both refused the invitation of the Great Prince Tiefei on the grounds that they were incapable and needed to return to the Battlestar Academy to continue their studies.
In fact, the two of them had long known about the intrigue within the royal family through Tie Chao, and they had no interest in the royal family's struggle.
Tie Fei didn't hold back too much, but just told them that the door of the Flying Feather Army was always open for them, hoping that one day they would lead the Flying Feather Army, serve the royal family of the Empire, and serve the security of this Empire.
Tu Xiaorui and Dong Xue nodded casually in agreement, and after they accepted the four brocade jade boxes, they quickly returned to their seats.
Brother Scar saw that his brother came back with the prize, where could he still take care of the eyes of others, and couldn't wait to open all the brocade jade boxes.
Everyone didn't expect that there were four extremely similar long swords placed inside the four brocade jade boxes, each of which exuded a soul-dementoring light, which was a powerful manifestation of strength that only emperor-grade weapons possessed. However, the blades of each longsword are different, which are red, brown, blue, and gold, and these are four emperor-grade weapon longswords made according to the attributes of the five elements.
Luo Changfeng shook his head helplessly and said, "Why are the royal family's rewards all long swords? When I got engaged to the eldest princess, I also received a long sword. ”
Brother Scar smiled: "Maybe the sword masters of the entire Zhongzhou Empire are in the Great Palace!"
"Now that you have four royal-grade weapons at once, you don't have to pick and choose!" Popa said excitedly.
Several people were still excitedly admiring the prizes, and the messengers of the Grand Palace were already urging the three award-winning contestants to march through the streets.
This is the way it has always been done at the Grand Palace, and they want to give the most publicity to the champions who have won the honor.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the eldest prince to arrange more than ten luxurious vehicles, and he let the top three contestants board the car and start the street celebration of the noble tour of Fancheng.
Shi Jiu told Tu Xiaorui and said, "The start date of the Battle Star Academy is imminent, the rest of us will return to the Second Prince's Mansion to pack our bags first, and wait for you to set off as soon as you come back from your street tour." ”
Tu Xiaorui asked puzzledly: "Is it a little too hurried to be so tense?"
Shi Jiu said: "We still have coveted emperor-grade weapons in our hands, and we have obtained four emperor-grade weapons again at the invitational tournament, such a bait may attract a lot of attention, in order to prevent a long night and dreams, it is better to leave Fancheng as soon as possible, and it is the safest strategy to return to the Battlestar Academy as soon as possible." ”
Tu Xiaorui and Dongxue nodded in agreement, only Tie Chao hesitated for a while, and advised everyone to stay longer, and it was not too late to set off and return.
Shi Jiu smiled and shook his head and said, "Brother Tie, you haven't been back to the royal family for long, and there are still a lot of things to deal with in the mansion, so you can return to the Battle Star Academy later." ”
Tie Chao knew that no matter what he said, he couldn't change Shi Jiu's mind, so he instructed the family members of the Second Wang's Mansion to quickly prepare wine and food, and wait for them to return to the Erwang's Mansion to drink and celebrate their success.
Since boarding the luxury car, Dongxue has been awkward, she really doesn't want to stand on the carriage and be looked at by the citizens. Tu Xiaorui also kept his head down, and he said: "Dongxue, you see that when you get to the downtown area, how about we jump out of the car and hide?"
Dongxue nodded and was about to agree, but Tie Chao, who was extremely excited, said: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show, let's all stand up and accept the public's welcome." ”
Tu Xiaorui shook his head and sighed: "Poor Tie Chao, since entering the Great Palace, I seem to have lost myself, but it is not as pure as when we were still in the Battle Star Academy, were we better at that time?!"
Dongxue echoed casually: "It's not, when I snatched his championship badge from Lao Scar, this iron brother was more or less heartbroken, and now it seems that he doesn't care about anything else except for power." ”
The two of them were still muttering with their heads down, Tie Chao's face was warm, and he said unhappily: "This parade is the grace of the Great Palace, and the opportunity is fleeting, so you don't want to grasp it?"
Dongxue said: "You can grasp this opportunity yourself, we are just mountain villagers, where are we worthy of such a big formation, I'm sorry Brother Tie, I really can't hold on anymore, so I quit." After Dongxue finished saying goodbye, she jumped out of the carriage and disappeared into the corner of the street.
