At this time, because the kendo Tianjiao competition was imminent, the major forces of the Chuyang Kingdom gathered in the royal capital.

Most of the forces, whether they were interested in the prince or not, were forced by the situation to hand over gift orders to congratulate the prince.

In the hidden mansion of the four princes, it seems more deserted than before.

In the study of the four princes, there were five or six people sitting around.

These people were all smiling, and the four princes straightened their faces and said to one of the old men:

"Elder Ge, what do you think about this?"

is known as the elder of the pavilion, it is Pan Taiqiu, the right minister of the Chuyang Kingdom, and Pan Taiqiu put away his smile.

The king's will is firmly worded, but it just shows that the king's heart is moved, and it should be regarded as a good opportunity for the four princes.

However, in this short month, if nothing changes, I am afraid that the crown prince will really ascend to the throne. ”

Pan Taiqiu's words and several other people bowed slightly, and the lord of the country had obviously recovered, but he claimed that he was indefinitely recovered.

If it was confirmed that the crown prince would succeed to the throne, there would be no need to do it again, but now it is done.

Then there is only one possibility, he wants all the forces from all sides to come out and see the prince's performance in it, in the final analysis, it is a test for the prince.

But as the right minister said, the time is set for a month later, and at that time, if the prince passes the test of the lord, I am afraid that the prince will really inherit the throne.

Several of you here were lost in thought, and the matter was actually very clear.

is to do things and force the prince to make a big mistake.

But now is the Tianjiao Competition, what big mistake can the prince make?

For the past few days, Jiang Liu has been cultivating behind closed doors in Gonghe Wangfu.

He was not interested in the things that disturbed him, and cultivation was a pleasure for him.

During this time, Qin Ye also felt Jiang Liu's temperament, and he didn't look for Jiang Liu much.

The day before the official competition, Qin Ye came to find Jiang Liu, and when Qin Ye came, Jiang Liu was planning to cultivate.

"Brother Jiang, the competition will be tomorrow, so don't cultivate. ”

Jiang Liu smiled.

"It's not like there's nothing to do. ”

Qin Ye smiled awkwardly, this excuse was found, this is to blame himself for being the master, is it okay not to entertain?

To be able to say that hard cultivation is nothing to do, it is really fresh and refined!

"It's okay to do nothing, let's go, come with me for some drinks. ”

Since Qin Ye said so, Jiang Liu no longer shirked.

Jiang Liu followed Qin Ye to his study, and after entering the study, Jiang Liu found that there was a table of wine and food in the outer room of the study, and three pairs of dishes and chopsticks were placed on the table.

At this time, Qin Yue walked out of the study, and Qin Yue greeted Jiang Liu with a smile:

"Jiang Gongzi, long time no see!"

Jiang Liu nodded and said with a smile:

"Are the four princes also here to drink?"

When Qin Yue and Qin Ye heard this, they laughed, and the three of them sat down around the table.

Jiang Liu thought that Qin Yue had something to say, but to Jiang Liu's surprise, the three of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp and drank a lot, and they didn't say anything useful, everyone told all kinds of interesting anecdotes.

Qin Yue is two years older than Jiang Liu and Qin Ye, and now he is only a first-order sword master, and his cultivation talent is not too good.

As a prince, if he participated, his results would be too poor and would damage the face of the royal family, so he did not participate in the Tianjiao Competition.

Qin Yue was at the banquet and wished the two of them good results in the Tianjiao Competition.

The three of them didn't finish drinking, and Qin Xue came over.

Seeing that the three of them were a little drunk, Qin Xue frowned, put on the posture of the eldest sister, asked people to withdraw the wine and food, and replaced the three of them with tea cups.

Qin Xue glanced at Jiang Liu, as if she wanted to say something, but looking at Jiang Liu's appearance, she didn't say anything, turned around and left.

Early the next morning, the palace guards came to invite Jiang Liu.

Today is the opening day, and all the participating Tianjiao will go to the arena to participate in the draw today.

Jiang Liu followed the guards to the main hall of the palace, and Jiang Liu saw that the twenty or so Tianjiao representing Shenquan County were all standing in front of the hall in high spirits.

Everyone was just like themselves, wearing brand-new Shenquan County custom robes, and they looked quite vigorous.

Jiang Liu greeted everyone with a smile and stood in the crowd.

At this time, Qin Xue walked over, looked at the crowd and counted the heads, and found that everyone had arrived, so he said:

"According to the schedule, today there will be a group draw according to different realms.

After determining the qualifying group, the referee will select three pairs of Tianjiao from the group and let them open the match.

The vast majority of people are going to participate in the group draw today and familiarize themselves with the venue, and there will be no game arrangement. ”

Qin Xue paused, looked at the slightly excited Tianjiao in front of her, and said with a smile:

"So don't get too excited, it's a long time, take your time.

Alright, everyone is here, let's go now!"

Qin Xue beckoned, and the five carriages drove over, except for the carriage dedicated to the prince, the other four carriages were also very luxuriously decorated.

On an occasion like today, Qin Ye and Qin Xue were also inconvenient to be polite to Tianjiao, and the two of them rode alone in the carriage dedicated to the prince.

The others took four other cars, and the group went directly to Nancheng Square.

Nancheng Square is the largest of all the squares in the royal capital, and the group draw and opening match will be held here.

After that, all Tianjiao will conduct the first and second stages of the competition in different arenas according to their different cultivation.

In the third stage, which is the final ranking stage, all the matches will be held in Nancheng Square.

On the road, in the carriage where Jiang Liu was, a swordsman named Zhang Pei looked at Cheng Yuan with a look of admiration:

"Senior Brother Cheng, will you apply for a special qualifying special?"

Cheng Yuan said to Zhang Pei with a smile:

"No, I'm not going to be targeted. ”

Jiang Liu had never heard of this term, and asked casually:

"Senior Brother Cheng, what is the special case of the qualifying tournament?"

Zhang Pei looked excited, and hurriedly said:

"The exception to the qualifying rounds is that after the results of the group are out, if you are confident enough, you can challenge all the other opponents in the same group at once, one against five, and if you can win, you can directly qualify. ”

When Zhang Pei said this, Jiang Liu was also a little enthusiastic, how easy it was to do this!

But Jiang Liu is just thinking about it, all Tianjiao will be present today, if you choose this special case of the qualifying tournament, once you win, you will indeed gain a lot of prestige.

But it is conceivable that it will definitely become the target of public criticism, as Cheng Yuan said.

Jiang Liu didn't want to be in the limelight, he hoped that others would choose this special case, so that he could see what the top Tianjiao of the Chuyang Kingdom was.

As he spoke, the carriage had stopped, and the river looked out of the window.

The wide Nancheng Square, which has been fenced off by an iron fence, is now parked outside the gate, through which you can see the situation inside.

Twenty huge battle platforms are divided into two rows and arranged in the middle of the square.

On both sides of the battle platform, there are rows of seats, and the seats are arranged in a stepped pattern, and the people in the back row can also see the battle on the battle platform.

In front of each battle platform, there are nearly 1,000 seats, so that Nancheng Square alone can accommodate 20,000 spectators.

After a while, the coachman said to the people in the carriage:

"Ladies and gentlemen, you can get off. ”

After getting off the bus, Jiang Liu and his party gathered together and waited in line to enter the arena.

At this time, a young man with a cold face and sharp eyes walked over.

He came to Jiang Liu, stared at Jiang Liu, and said coldly:

"You are Jiang Liu, did you abolish my brother?!"
