"It's time to get off." Outside the carriage, Raymond's lazy reminder was heard. When Yu Canghai heard this, he changed from lying down to sitting, and said, "Tidy up your manners." ”

Qingyu and Yun Nalan hurriedly came over, checked for Yu Canghai, sorted out his clothes, confirmed that they were correct, and checked themselves again before saying, "It's okay." ”

Yu Canghai glanced at Yu Taiping, saw that Biyu had also sorted it out for her, and said with a smile: "Sister Huang, I'll help you get out of the car." ”

"Hmm." The blush on Yu Taiping's face was gone, and she put on the expression that the eldest princess should have, noble, noble, proud, confident, and full of demeanor. Qingyu, Yun Nalan got out of the carriage first, and then Yu Canghai.

"Welcome to His Highness the Thirteenth." As soon as he got off the car, Yu Canghai saw a group of people bowing in front of him, but he didn't care, and stretched out his hand to help Yu Taiping out of the carriage.

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess." Yu Taiping's right hand rested on Yu Canghai's left forearm and walked side by side with him. When she came to this group of high-ranking officials and nobles who saluted, she bowed her chin and made a calm and majestic voice: "No courtesy." ”

"Your Highnesses, please." A courteous officer led the way. Everything was arranged in advance, getting out of the car, greetings, going up to the attic, and receiving greetings to several important officials, as well as princes, princes, sects, and representatives of the family, and then someone came to inform the process of the martial arts meeting, and finally asked if it started.

On the fifth-story platform of the attic, Yu Taiping and Yu Canghai sat in the middle, and behind them sat Wen Jing and Lei Meng. On the left are the local officials of the Thorn History, the Long History. On the right are the generals of Shenwu Hou and the champion general.

"Let's get started." Yu Canghai ordered.

After Yu Canghai finished speaking, Dingzhou Thorn Shi Cheng Jinghui stood up, he walked to the edge of the attic, faced the square and said: "Today's martial arts meeting, we have welcomed two distinguished guests, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and Her Royal Highness the thirteenth prince, who will watch today's finals in the whole process..."

His voice was heard far away, and the whole square was clearly audible. I only heard the sound of the crowd be noticeably silent, and then suddenly erupt.

"The royals are here?"

"It's actually two highnesses, but it's a pity that it's too far away, I can't see it."

"We are deeply honored to have so many distinguished people watching the martial arts meeting in Dingzhou."

Wan Yingjie also heard it on the second floor, and his mood suddenly fluctuated. The whole dynasty was royal, and they were all subjects of the royal family. Now there are two highnesses who have come to watch their martial arts competition, which is even more exciting than the gaze of Shenwu Hou. Yu Canghai didn't care about the opening remarks of the assassin history, nor the discussion of the crowd, he was checking the information of all the martial artists who participated in the finals today.

"Long Miaomeng, it is expected that the samurai will be the first. The daughter of the Long family, fourteen years old. ”

"Xiahou Zhesheng, the second expected samurai, the son of the commander of Zhengdong County. Fifteen years old. ”

Yu Canghai asked: "Take the dragon as the surname, the dragon family." ”

Wen Jing said behind him: "The Long family, the top ten families in the mainland, the first family of the Yu Dynasty. They have a long history, but they are not prosperous. Since the time of the Holy Empire, the Long family has lived in Zhendong County. During the Zhongxing period, Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty once married the daughter of the Long family as a concubine. ”

Three hundred years ago, the Yu Dynasty experienced a serious rebellion that was in turmoil for more than a decade. The seventeenth emperor of the Yu Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty succeeded to the throne at a critical moment and quelled the rebellion. During his reign, the Yu Dynasty was revived, and that period is known as the Zhongxing period.

Yu Canghai nodded, and asked Governor Shi of Dingzhou on the side: "Xiahou Zhesheng, the son of the county guard of Zhengdong County." The Liang Dynasty invaded, and Zhengdong County bore the brunt, why is the son of the county guard here? ”

Changshi knew what Yu Canghai meant, so he said: "When the Liang Dynasty invaded, the county guard of Zhengdong County did not flee, but stuck to the front line, and the whole family died in battle. just sent away this only son, which can be regarded as leaving a bloodline. ”

"Well, what's going on with this projected ranking?"

Changshi said: "From their cultivation, performance, and inheritance." It is determined by the deduction of the martial artists of the transcendent realm, and then arrange the order of the competition for them, so as to prevent the first and second direct competition, so that the people with low strength are ranked on the top. Of course, the actual ranking still depends on the results of the competition. ”

Yu Canghai understood and turned to the martial arts group.

"The fifth Lingshan, the first expected martial artist, comes from the fifth tribe. Twenty-three years old. ”

"Xing Zheyan, who is expected to be the second martial artist, is from the Xinghe Sect. Twenty-four years old. ”

"Wan Yingjie, the third expected martial artist, civilian. Twenty-seven years old. ”

Yu Canghai had the attitude of asking if he didn't know, and said to Changshi: "Let's talk about the fifth tribe, Xinghe Sect." ”

Changshi didn't think about it, so he said: "The fifth surname is a compound surname, which is relatively rare. But their roots can be traced back to the Middle Ages, the Central Empire. That was when they were surnamed Gongsun, and in the era of the Holy Empire, their family was too powerful, so Emperor Dai forcibly split the Gongsun clan, scattered them in Kyushu, and renamed them first, second, third, until the ninth surname. Later, these surnames were changed to other surnames, and only the Fifth Tribe remained. ”

Yu Canghai couldn't help but be surprised: "How strong does this Gongsun clan have to be before it will be forcibly split by a unified empire." In this way, the fifth family is also a long inheritance, no wonder this fifth Lingshan is the peak of martial arts at the age of twenty-three. If you continue like this, before you are thirty-five, you can basically reach the transcendent realm. ”

Changshi nodded, and said: "The Xinghe Sect is the superior sect of this dynasty, and it is taken from the Eighth Realm Divine Man, and the wind and thunder are with him, and he is angry with the Xinghe. Their founding patriarch was indeed a powerhouse of the Eighth Realm, and the Xinghe Sect was founded more than six hundred years ago, and it was considered a nascent sect. ”

Yu Canghai asked, "Are sects also divided into levels?" ”

Raymond interjected in the back: "Points, some sects add up to two or three big cats and kittens, and some are just one single seedling." But no one can deny that they are a cultivation sect, because they have a heritage, a history, and a strength, maybe there is still an old monster alive in the sect. But like the Sun Moon Sect, there are hundreds of thousands of disciples, and they are also a cultivation sect. However, there is no comparison between the two at all, and the hierarchy is artificially divided, and the criterion for division is purely based on the prosperity of the Taoist system. ”

Yu Canghai nodded and said to himself: "Wan Yingjie, although he is older, it is not easy to be born as a civilian. He looked at the last group of great martial artists again.

"Jin Yuanliang, expected to be the first, King Jingfu. Thirty-three years old. ”

Yu Canghai frowned, looked at Yu Taiping and asked, "King Jingfu, this is the third time it has appeared, the samurai, the martial artist, and the great martial artist all have their people, who is Prince Jing?" ”

Yu Taiping glanced at him and said, "This is your seventh uncle, and the fief is in Zhendong County, which should be two cities, and there is no right to manage." ”

When the prince reaches adulthood, he will be crowned a king and a fief. These bounties are not hereditary. But it doesn't mean that the princes of the Yu Dynasty are only the princes of Yu Canghai. When Yu Wuya was the prince, his brothers of that generation were also crowned princes, and they were all still alive, naturally they were still princes, and even the princes of Yu Canghai's grandfather were still alive.

But after the new emperor ascends the throne, these princes of the older generation will be taken back if they have the right to manage. The size of their fiefdoms will also be reduced. The fiefdom without the right to administer, that is, nominally nice, is actually to be supported by some taxes.

"I've returned to Yuanjing, and I'm going to go to the storage room to see more when I have time." With so much content to be asked from just a list, Yu Canghai felt his shallowness, because he knew that knowledge was also power. Yu Canghai continued to look at it.

"Di Xingyu, expected to be the second, the son of the champion general Di Qing, thirty-five years old."

Yu Canghai was stunned for a moment, then smiled at Di Qing, who was sitting on the side, and said, "Champion General, your son is also on the list." ”

Di Qing was still wearing a black scarf, he turned his head to look at Yu Canghai, and arched his hand: "I don't have a good relationship with him, I was still fighting outside when I was born, and I only met him in my teens, so I sent him to the sect to practice." I haven't said a few words until now. ”

"You're not a good father, but you're a good general." Yu Canghai heard that he respected Di Qing very much, and since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both.

When Di Qing heard this, he just nodded and stopped talking.

"Zongzheng Gao Lang, expected to be third, Dingzhou Sun and Moon Chamber of Commerce, the treasurer of the Zhendong County Branch."

Yu Canghai couldn't help but sigh: "The branch shopkeepers are so powerful, the Sun Moon Sect is worthy of being the leader of the Heavenly Dao." ”

"Next, the competition begins, and in the first game, Long Miaomeng vs. Hao Xinli." At this moment, Lord Thorn Shi ended his opening remarks and announced the beginning of the competition.

Yu Canghai also put down the list in his hand and looked at it with interest: "It is expected that the first pair is expected to be tenth, let me see the strength of the samurai group." ”
