Chapter 22 The Seven Princes

The Elder's Pavilion is located in the courtyard of the southern corner of the royal ancestral hall, and the building of the Elder's Pavilion is quite simple compared to the rest of the palace, but it is one of the cores of the entire royal family, and it is a place that can influence the abolition of royal power.

The three elders of the Elders' Pavilion all live in the backyard of the Elders' Pavilion.

If you become an elder of the Elders' Pavilion, then you must live in the ancestral hall for life, serve the ancestral hall for life, and you must not leave easily unless you have something extremely important.

The elders of the Elders' Pavilion can be said to be the most powerful people in the royal family, and they are also the least free people.

However, the place where the Great Elder lived was even more modest than the Elder's Pavilion, and the eaves and stone steps were covered with moss, and it was obvious that it had not been renovated for a long time.

In front of the small wooden window of the dormitory, there is a spiritual grass that exudes blue light. The Great Elder held a thumb-sized jade bottle in his hand to catch the dew that had just dripped from the blades of the spirit grass, and looked at the jade bottle that had already been filled, revealing a smile.

Getting up every morning to collect the dew on the spirit grass was something that the Great Elder had been doing since three years ago.

After he put away the jade bottle, he went to the Elders' Pavilion.

Today, the three elders of the royal family with the highest rank and the longest seniority gathered in the Elders' Pavilion.

The three old antiques, any of them, the elders of the royal family who have a great say in the royal family, King Qinghe must respectfully call his uncle and uncle when he sees it.

The Elder Pavilion controls the ancestral hall and the clan rules of the clan, regardless of the government, but at each martial arts competition, the selection and decision of the representative warriors of the royal family are decided by the Royal Elders' Cabinet. This is precisely what this meeting of the Elders' Cabinet is about.

It can also be seen how much attention the royal family attaches to this matter.

At this moment, the three elders, several princes and princesses of the royal family, as well as young warriors from foreign clans of the royal family gathered in the Elder Pavilion. Let's discuss how the royal family can achieve good results in the three-month tournament.

They are a royal family, representing the highest combat power of the entire Qinghe Country, so naturally they can't lose face.

The second elder sighed and said, "Hey, if there is a young talent like the fourth child in the younger generation of my royal family, then next year's military order will belong to my royal family?"

The fourth elder said that the fourth was naturally the fourth prince Jiang Jichu. Jiang Jichu has already received a military order once and can no longer compete.

And among the young warriors of this generation, among the several eligible princes and princesses, the only ones in the Elder Pavilion are the fifth prince and the thirteenth princess.

On the other hand, the foreign clans of the royal family will also select five young warriors to participate in the martial arts competition.

They are all elites of the younger generation of the royal family, and it is naturally not difficult to win a high ranking, but there is little chance of winning the top three.

The second elder and the third elder both shook their heads helplessly, young martial artists, you look at me, I look at you, there is no countermeasure.

At this moment, Jiang Ruoyan and Jiang Xujun came to the Elders' Pavilion.

Jiang Xujun bowed respectfully to the three elders, and then retreated.

Jiang Ruoyan walked in, clasped his hands and saluted, and said, "Seventh son Jiang Ruoyan, meet the three elders." ”

The expressions of the people sitting again suddenly became quite exciting, some were surprised, some despised it, and some disdain...... The conversation began.

"How can the seventh brother be interested in coming to the Elder Pavilion today? Won't you go to Huayu Tower?"

Jiang Ruoyan turned a deaf ear, and didn't even bother to look at Jiang Jimo, just thinking that it was a pig roaring.

Why bother with a beast?

Jiang Jimo saw that he was being ignored, he was ashamed and angry, and thought fiercely, "Heh, it seems that he still thinks he is a genius, it is necessary to find an opportunity to educate him well!"

Jiang Jimo is quite confident in his strength, he broke through to the realm of the supreme realm of the martial spirit realm a few days ago, and it is more than enough to clean up Jiang Yan's waste wood.

The second elder with a fiery personality was aroused by the three words "Huayulou", he blew his beard and glared, pointed at Jiang Ruoyan's nose and scolded: "You shameless thing still have the face to come to the Elder Pavilion?"

The second elder didn't know that Jiang Ruoyan's ability to come to the Elders' Pavilion was actually an order from the Great Elder, and he was extremely angry at Jiang Ruoyan's depravity, so he dared to scold Jiang Ruoyan.

This year, it should have been the time for Jiang Ruoyan to show his skills for the royal family, but he was so indisputable.

Jiang Ruoyan was indeed very good in the past, and he had also participated in martial arts conferences before, although he did not have a crown, but he was also called the martial arts ghost talent of the royal family by the top forces of Qinghe Country because of his amazing talent.

And now, letting him go out to participate in the martial arts tournament will only become the laughing stock of the entire royal family.

In the past three years, Jiang Ruoyan has fallen, so that there is no supreme genius who can sweep the group among the representatives of the royal family in this generation.

If it weren't for Jiang Ruoyan, how could the royal family fall into the embarrassing situation of being pressed by other families and sects?

The dignified royal family didn't even win the third place in the martial arts competition, so what kind of face did they have to dominate a huge country?

In previous years, although the military order was occasionally taken away by other families, there was always one young warrior of the royal family who never ranked in the top three.

However, this year it is mysterious.

In this generation of the royal family, the fifth prince Jiang Ji is not satisfactory, and the thirteenth princess Jiang Yu is only ten years old this year, and she has not yet become a climate. However, the other family forces of the Qinghe Kingdom are outstanding, and they appear to be like a rainbow. Under such a gap, how can the royal family stand out.

"Jiang Ruoyan is a descendant of the Jiang family, so he can naturally enter the ancestral hall and come to the Elder Pavilion. Jiang Ruoyan replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Arrogant and lascivious, not doing a good job, you are also worthy of being a descendant of the Jiang family?"

The second elder glared at Jiang Ruoyan with cold eyes, and even released a martial arts coercion to oppress Jiang Ruoyan.

Although the second elder's martial arts cultivation is profound, even if a super martial arts master exerts coercion on the current Jiang Ruoyan, he may not be able to make Jiang Ruoyan succumb.

Jiang Ruoyan retorted with an unchanged face: "Dare to ask the second elder, have you ever seen Jiang Ruoyan do anything degrading to the royal family?

"You ......"

The second elder was speechless for a while, he really hadn't seen Jiang Ruoyan do anything insulting to the royal family. It's just that there are too many remarks against Jiang Ruoyan from the outside world, and after listening to it a lot, he naturally believes it.

However, how could he possibly know what the truth of the matter was? He couldn't just leave the ancestral hall.

Everyone present felt that Jiang Ruoyan was too arrogant, and in their opinion, Jiang Ruoyan was completely dying. The elder is highly respected in the royal family, and even if he is a son-in-law, he cannot be disobeyed.

Jiang Ruoyan didn't seem to see everyone's faces, so she found an empty seat and sat down.

What is unexpected is that the second elder did not pursue it further.

And the Great Elder also opened his old eyes because of Jiang Ruoyan's arrival, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, it's all here." ”

From just now, the Great Elder sat there cross-legged like Honka, not saying a word. When he opened his mouth, he immediately attracted everyone's attention and made everyone's eyes converge.

The Great Elder of the Elder Pavilion is the head of all the elders of the royal family, and he is the oldest and highest-ranking elder among the elders, and he is in charge of the affairs of the clan, and even the elders of the Martial Pavilion are a head below him.

The Great Elder's hair was snow-white and his face was wrinkled, he stared at the hair on the top of Jiang Ruoyan's head and asked, "You are sixteen this year?"

Jiang Ruoyan replied, "Just turned sixteen." ”。

Compared with the second elder with a fiery temper, Jiang Ruoyan was even more afraid of this great elder.

Xue Yuxi had told Jiang Ruoyan that he should be especially wary of the Great Elder of the Elder Pavilion.

Jiang Ruoyan didn't know why her mother would say this, but it would never be wrong to listen to her mother.

Therefore, Jiang Ruoyan was extremely careful every time he faced this great elder, and did not dare to show any flaws in front of him, and even when he was cornered by Concubine Xiao, he did not come to the Elder's Pavilion for help.

The Great Elder nodded, and then, his gaze moved away from Jiang Ruoyan, glanced at the princes, princesses, and martial artists of the Jiang family, and said, "Do you have any other opinions on the Martial Arts Conference?"

Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to come forward to propose. Everyone is not stupid, it can be seen that Dachang already has a plan, and asking their opinions is just a meaning.

If you rashly put forward an opinion, it is okay to be rejected, but if you accidentally offend this old antique, it will be very comfortable.

Sure enough, I only heard the Great Elder speak again: "Since there is none, then listen to Elder Ben's arrangement!"

"In this martial arts competition, the royal family's practice is the same as before, the own clan sends twelve warriors, and the foreign clan sends twelve warriors. In the second of the tournament, foreign warriors must fully assist their own warriors. ”

"And unlike the previous ones, two warriors will also be selected as representatives among the warriors of this family, and these two representatives can each carry a clan protection spirit weapon to fight and go all out to seize the military order. ”

The tournament did not explicitly stipulate what rank the fighters could only have. As long as the participating martial artists have it, as long as the participating martial artists can hold it, even a twelfth-order spiritual weapon is okay, but no one will do it, because their aura is not enough to urge a high-level spiritual weapon.

And the vast majority of the soldiers used by civilian warriors are just ordinary soldiers, not even true talisman treasures. Even those big families only had a sixth-order spirit weapon as a clan protector. Those who can take out two Protector Warrior-level spiritual weapons at one time are probably the only ones in Qinghe Country.

Several princes and princesses were beaming, and two representatives must have arisen between them.

If they get a Protector Artifact, they will be more confident in taking the military order.

Jiang Jimo puffed up his chest even more proudly, his eyes swept over the foreign warriors, and then his contemptuous gaze fell on Jiang Ruoyan's body.

As long as he gets the military order, no matter how good Jiang Ruoyan was, he can only be overwhelmed by his light, Jiang Jimo thought in his heart.

And those young warriors from other families were depressed.

The Great Elder said that they were only assisting. Those who say it sounds good are called assistance, and those who say it is bad are called cannon fodder.

Over the years, there have been several highly gifted geniuses among the foreign races, thinking that this year's martial arts tournament may change. Foreign warriors all came with a lot of pride, but they still overestimated themselves, and their little strength was not enough to change the opinion of their own clan.

The Great Elder didn't pay any attention to the sorrow and joy of the young martial artists, and said slowly: "Seize the two places of the military order, the first, the thirteenth princess Jiang Yu ......"

Jiang Yu, the thirteenth princess holding a little white rabbit in her arms, showed a hint of a smile, as if everything was expected.

There was one last spot left, and everyone listened with their ears pricked up.

Jiang Jimo had already closed his eyes, as if he had heard the Great Elder pronounce his name in advance.

However, the last few words that the Great Elder slowly spit out were: "The second, the Seventh Prince Jiang Ruoyan." ”

The seventh prince Jiang Ruoyan!
