"Woo......oooooo Woowoo......"

"Knock! knock!"

Outside the Qingyang Palace, on the huge square in front of the stairs, the drums beat instantly, and the horns sounded in unison.

At this time, the entire square has been surrounded by a large number of Janissaries who have been surrounded by golden-clothed guards, one by one holding weapons, standing solemnly.

On the stairs leading from the square to the Qingyang Palace, there stood the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and even some retired ministers, as well as military generals with white flowers and beards!

Ximen Potian was sitting on the top platform at this time, with his own queen and concubines on the left and right, as well as his own prince and princess.

Behind him was the palace maid with a parasol, and a large number of gold-clothed guards completely sealed the area.

However, in front of the right side of Ximen Potian, there was still a chair, and he was sitting a man in a yellow robe who looked to be in his fifties.

He is Ximen Potian's father, the emperor of Qingguo: Ximen Shang!

And by Ximen Shang's side, it was Gonggong Hai who had served his father, Emperor Taizong!

Simon Shang looks like he is only in his fifties, but he is actually nearly eighty years old!

However, cultivators have a very long lifespan, and aging is also very slow.

"I'll wait, meet Your Majesty the Emperor!

The civil and military officers on the steps knelt down and saluted.

"Zhong Aiqing, flat. ”

Ximen Potian waved lightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone flattened, and then turned to look at the large square that the emperor usually inspected.

Ximen Potian glanced left and right, all the wives and children came, but Ximen Hao and Ximen Guang were preparing below.

"Father, can you start?" he asked, looking at his father.

Ximen Shang lightly stripped his beard and said lightly:

"Breaking the sky, my father has retired from the throne, but a martial artist who specializes in the way of cultivation, today's competition between the two grandsons, my father does not speak, does not move, just watch. ”

Ximen Potian hurriedly surrendered his hand, and then gave the martial saint a look.

The Martial Saint was dragging a tray in his hand at this time, on which were placed two pieces of paper, as well as a golden Heavenly Capital Order.

"Biography, Your Majesty's dictation: Today is the day of the struggle for the order of the heavenly capital, the eldest prince Ximen Hao! The second prince Ximen Guang! The one who gets the order will be crowned the crown prince! The competition is divided into literary and martial arts, and the martial fighting is extremely dangerous! Today, I also invite the two princes to sign the certificate of life and death! After the competition begins, life and death are determined by life and death, and wealth is in the sky! Xuan! The two princes are ...... forward."

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

With the beat of the drum, Ximen Hao and Ximen Guangfen entered left and right.

The two of them wore the prince's brocade robe together, without any subordinates, but with a faint evil spirit.

When the two arrived at the center of the square, they glanced at each other, and each saw the murderous aura in their own eyes!

Then the two turned around at the same time and stepped up the steps step by step.

Ximen Hao's heart was not turbulent at this time, even if he saw that Ximen Guang was already in the middle stage of soul refining, he did not have any fluctuations.

Because, not only does he have two Vajra Powerful Pills, but he also has one more chance to ask for a rune!

At that time, even if you are unlucky, the bonus of the characters invited is very low, but when used with the strong pill, you should not be afraid of this Ximen Guang!

But he was very curious about what kind of elixir the other party had taken, but he had raised his cultivation from the late stage of forging gods to the middle stage of soul refining overnight.

Ximen Guang also didn't make any waves, and even looked at Ximen Hao's cultivation in the middle stage of forging gods, and there was still a trace of contempt on his face.

Soon, the two arrived on the platform.

"Son, meet your father, meet your grandfather!"

Both saluted at the same time, then got up at the same time.

Ximen Potian looked at his two sons and couldn't help but nod appreciatively.

Especially Ximen Guang, no matter what method he used to improve his cultivation, he still had some faint expectations in his heart, expecting that his eldest son would have a leapfrog battle.

Ximen Shang is different, he has been cultivating for many years, and he can see at a glance that something is wrong with Ximen Guang.

Then his face changed slightly, and he said:

"Erlang, do you know that some pills have side effects?"

Ximen Guang was stunned for a moment, and then saluted:

"Grandpa Huang, this is the grandson's choice, and the grandson has no regrets. ”

Ximen Shang looked at Ximen Guang for a while, nodded slightly, and moved his gaze to Ximen Hao.

He knows everything about his eldest grandson being rescued by the gods and becoming able to be good at martial arts.

However, he didn't ask more, but stroked his beard and looked at Ximen Hao for a moment, then closed his eyes.

"Two princes, let's get started. ”

The Martial Saint handed the tray in front of the two, especially that day, which made the eyes of both of them a little hot.

"Da Lang, Erlang, sign the life and death certificate, the lives of the two of you will be destined by heaven, even I will not interfere in the life and death of the two of you. Do you understand my suffering?"

Ximen Potian looked at his two strongest sons, and suddenly felt a little unbearable.

Ximen Guang hurriedly saluted and said in a deep voice:

"Father, the Emperor, the Heavenly Order, must be the son's!"

Simon Potian nodded, with fighting spirit, like his own son.

Ximen Hao also saluted, and said in a somewhat low tone:

"Father, no matter who gets the order of heaven today, the one who loses must sacrifice his life for the future society of Qingguo! One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, for the sake of Qingguo's country, even if he loses and survives by luck, he will choose to commit suicide!

"Smack~"

Ximen Shang gently patted the arm of the chair, obviously Ximen Hao touched one of his nerves.

Yes, that is his second son, Ximen Wentian! The other party is in Huainan, and he has not been honest for a day, and the turmoil in Qingguo is only in the other party's thoughts.

This, of course, was soft-hearted with Simon, leaving behind troubles.

"Hahaha! Good! worthy of my eldest son!

Ximen Potian couldn't help but praise it.

The other party actually said that he would commit suicide if he lost, and he would not let himself become a hidden danger for Qingguo, which made him very satisfied.

Ximen Guang's expression instantly became gloomy, this Ximen Hao had already guessed the emperor's heart thoroughly.

"Big brother, let's get started. ”

He didn't want to see everyone's appreciative eyes on Ximen Hao, so he reached out and picked up the life and death form, directly bit his fingertips, and pressed it.

Ximen Hao no longer pretended to be forced, and also pressed the bloody handprint, then turned around and walked down.

After the two of them stood in the square at the same time, the martial saint continued to proclaim:

"The first scene, Wendou! is not better than poetry and songs, but more than governing the country!"

After saying that, he took out two pieces of music and trotted down.

Simon Potian took this opportunity and said majestically:

"One of these two cantata has been pressed in my study for many years, and I have not found a solution. The other book was delivered yesterday, and it is all related to Qingguo's social and people's livelihood. The two of you, choose one copy each, and give me and the Manchu Dynasty a satisfactory answer. ”

"The retainers obeyed. ”

Ximen Hao and Ximen Guang saluted at the same time, and then looked at the music in the hand of the martial saint and took a copy each.
