The prince continued: "Second brother, do you know, according to the accurate information obtained by this palace, that Xiao Zhang and the Black Scorpion will have something to do with it, and it is even possible that Xiao Zhang is a member of the Black Scorpion Society at all, and it seems that today it is really the case!"

Hearing this, the second prince's heart skipped another beat. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Xiao Zhang turned out to be a black scorpion killer?

The crown prince ignored the shock of the second prince, and said to himself: "However, there are still many ways to deal with Xiao Zhang in this palace. ”

…………

Three days later, the ceremony for the elites of various sects to enter Beijing was held as scheduled.

The highest power center of the Dayan Empire, the soul capital, the imperial city, and the creation square are unprecedented, magnificent, the atmosphere is solemn but there is no lack of pride, and everyone present can't help but be full of pride and enthusiasm!

Nearly 10,000 elites selected by all the sects in the world gathered here to prepare for this ceremony of unprecedented scale, and 50,000 elite troops of the empire had been stationed outside the imperial city to cheer for this ceremony.

At the same time, the empire's 150,000 troops were distributed in various regions of the country, echoing this ceremony in the soul capital city and shaking the national prestige.

I have to say that for the Great Yan Empire and its subordinate sects at all levels, this kind of ceremony is the first time in the world, which is enough to show that the empire attaches great importance to this Western Expedition Demon Dao, and puts on a majestic posture of not giving up on the Demon Dao of Immortal Destruction.

It is believed that in that far west, the people of the Demon Dao must also be paying attention to this ceremony, and they should have begun to quietly prepare for the largest crusade in the history of the Yan Empire.

As one of these elites, Xiao Zhang, standing quietly in the crowd in the square, seemed very insignificant, unlike the blood gushing of the elites around him, Xiao Zhang seemed very calm, his eyes were faintly looking ahead, and his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, he knew that today's ceremony was extraordinary, and it might determine his fate in the future.

Beside him, Xuanyuan Jue, who was dressed in chic white, still had that spring breeze smile on his face, a folding fan gently swaying on his chest, and his eyes softly scanned the elites around him, today's ceremony was like a sightseeing tour for him, and he seemed to have put himself out of the matter for a long time.

According to the procedure, the ceremony began at the best time selected by the Ministry of Rites, starting with a grand song and dance performance, followed by a passionate mobilization oath by Prime Minister Huang Guozhong on behalf of the imperial court, followed by an exciting martial arts performance.

After the whole set of procedures was completed, it was almost noon, and before the next grand luncheon, there was still some time left for the elites to communicate with each other and ask each other for advice, and the scene was very enthusiastic.

During this time, the Emperor issued an order to summon the two leaders of the Tianxia Sect, the elite representatives of the Heavenly Soul Sect and the Xuanyuan Sect, to enter the Qi Tiandian to meet His Majesty the Emperor.

This kind of honor is coveted by all the elites, but it can only be obtained by the two first-class sects, and the elites sigh and sigh at the same time, they can't help but reveal some sour jealousy.

The elite representatives of the Heavenly Soul Sect and Xuanyuan Sect, there was no surprise, of course, it was Xiao Zhang and Xuanyuan who decided, and in a sour gaze, the two followed the guards into the Monkey King Hall.

The splendid Qitian Palace, graceful and magnificent, magnificent and solemn, here represents the pinnacle of power in the whole world, and is the first palace in the world that is well deserved.

Walking into this hall, even Xiao Zhang could be regarded as having seen some big scenes, but he couldn't help but get carried away with the situation in front of him.

And Xuanyuan, who had always been calm and light-hearted, couldn't help but show a slight shock.

This is the Qi Tian Palace, here is the place where His Majesty the Emperor and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs go to the court every day to discuss the major affairs of the world, if ordinary people have the opportunity to come here once in their lives, it is the creation of the three lives and three generations.

On the north wall of the main hall, under the huge map of the rivers and mountains, on the golden luxury dragon chair, there was no one, for ordinary people, the emperor who only existed in the legend, was not there.

But of course, this is also understandable, after all, His Majesty the Emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, and the dignity of his status is the best in the world.

On the top of the main hall, fifty of the most important civil and military ministers of the empire have been seated, Prime Minister Huang Guozhong, and General Yan Guang are respectively at the head of the two columns of courts, and the second prince is also located in the court.

The crown prince's position today is different from the past, usually he sits on a chair next to the emperor's dragon chair, and follows the emperor to listen to the government, so as to learn the ability and experience of governing the world.

This is the extra permission of His Majesty the Emperor, the prince has been given the opportunity to sit next to the dragon chair to learn, you know, in all dynasties, in this way, the prince is equivalent to the emperor, and the emperor becomes the emperor.

As for why His Majesty the Emperor would be so gracious, the reason is unknown, and no one dares to speculate on the emperor's thoughts.

However, today, the prince did not sit next to the dragon chair, but honestly stood in the middle of the court, and stood in the most inconspicuous corner of the class.

The reason for this is unknown.

Xiao Zhang and Xuanyuan decided to follow the etiquette, standing at the end of the two columns of courts, Xiao Zhang looked around and observed the two columns of ministers in the hall, except for the crown prince and the second prince, he obviously didn't know who the others were. So, he tentatively communicated with Xuanyuan who was standing opposite with his soul energy.

"Hey, do you know all these people?" Xiao Zhang asked, but he didn't have much hope, because this is the Monkey King Hall, if you dare to think carefully, the consequences should be very serious.

However, it was this cautious temptation, but Xiao Zhang immediately received a response from Xuanyuan: "I only know a few of these important people, and I don't know anyone else. ”

Xiao Zhang nodded and said: "Whoever you know, introduce it to me, whether it is friend or foe, it will also be convenient to deal with in the future." ”

Xuanyuan only introduced two characters to Xiao Zhang: Prime Minister Huang Guozhong and General Yan Guang. As for Xiao Zhang's already knowing the crown prince and the second prince, Xuanyuan Jue seems to have known it and has no superfluous nonsense.

Xiao Zhang looked at Huang Guozhong carefully for a while, and found that he was indeed eight points similar to the original Huangshan, although he already looked a little old, but it was difficult to hide that handsome face, when he was young, he must have been a handsome and beautiful man.

Looking at the general Yan Guang again, unlike the top military generals of other general power organizations, this general is not as strong as he imagined, with a scruffy beard and a hot temper, but he actually looks like an elegant scribe, although he is wearing a powerful battle armor and a long knife at his waist, he does not have the blood that a military general should have.
