This traffic accident did not cause casualties, except for the car that rushed out and flew out, and the driver inside fell unconscious on the spot, the rest of the people were not injured much, at most they were bumped or something.

But because it is on the traffic artery, it soon caused a traffic jam, and the traffic behind quickly converged, one after another, until it reached the end of the line of sight, and the driver behind did not know what was happening in front of him, so anxious that he honked his horn in the back, and the street that was originally quiet became noisy in an instant.

When I saw the situation in front of me and knew that the car was probably impassable, I couldn't help but get anxious, and wondered if this traffic accident could be man-made.

Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental, we encountered a traffic accident on the way to the palace, and it is very likely that someone did not want us to arrive at the palace on time.

I looked at the time, it was only more than 20 minutes before the agreed time, I couldn't sit still in the car anymore, opened the car door and got out of the car, walked to the car where the eldest prince and the eldest princess were sitting in front, probed to the window of the eldest prince, and said: "Your Highness, I'm afraid the time is too late, we have to change the car." ”

The eldest prince hummed, opened the car door and got out of the car, and then ordered the driver who was driving in front to stay where he was, wait for the traffic police to deal with it, and then take a group of us to walk forward on the sidewalk.

……

There were already many people gathered in the Haoran Hall of the Imperial Palace, including the queen, Shoufu, Prince Yong, Prince Rui, princess, Murong Hang, Murong Qi, Murong Siqi, as well as Murong Ning, Murong Jiansheng, Murong Ziyan, Murong Xiongwei, and a cadre of the cabinet have all arrived.

The queen looked at the people in the hall, frowned and asked, "Hasn't the eldest prince arrived yet?" ”

The second prince, Murong Hang, saw that the eldest prince and I hadn't arrived yet, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, at this time, we were actually late? If you can't make it, it's even more interesting.

Not only will we lose our qualifications for the battle for the commander of the Shenwei Battalion this time, but we will also have a negative impact on the Great Prince because of the tardiness or absence of the Great Prince.

The third prince said, "Now that it's time, he may not come, right?" ”

Shousuke said: "Maybe there is a traffic jam, and it may not be late, so let's wait." ”

The queen wanted to agree with Shoufu's words, and wait for the eldest prince and me, but Murong Siqi stood up and said: "With so many people coming here today, Shoufu can still arrive early, and they should have come early, but they haven't come for a long time, so it can be seen that they don't pay attention to today's matter at all, I think, we should do it immediately, no need to wait for them." ”

The queen said: "But Mo Xiaokun also wants to participate in the competition, he didn't come, how can he compete?" ”

Prince Rui said, "I think I can give them ten minutes, and if they don't come again, they will abstain." ”

Shousuke looked at the other cabinet ministers, all of whom nodded in agreement.

The queen immediately said: "Okay, just wait for another ten minutes, if they still don't arrive, they should automatically abstain, and Zhu Shangrong will win directly." ”

When Zhu Shangrong heard the queen's words, his eyes began to shine.

If he can win without a fight, it will help him preserve his strength and meet the next competition.

Murong Siqi was afraid that the queen would change his hexagram again, so he offered to go to the scene of the competition immediately, and when ten minutes came, if I and the eldest prince hadn't arrived, we would go to the next one.

The scene of the competition is arranged on the square outside the Haoran Palace, the Haoran Palace Square is not as good as the Zhongzheng Palace Square, the Zhongzheng Palace Square is also the largest square of the whole palace, five stone bridges are erected on the square, the square is extremely wide, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time, before the establishment of the constitutional monarchy, the Zhongzheng Palace Square is also the place where the emperor accepts the worship of civil and military officials, and receives foreign guests, and holds major ceremonies.

Although the scale of Haoran Hall Square is small, it is only larger than the average football field.

The queen, the first assistant, the cabinet ministers, and a group of royal personnel left the Haoran Palace, and there were already more than 100 Shenwei camp guards around it.

The person on duty this time is Duan Zhixing, the assistant commander of the Shenwei Battalion, this person's strength is not particularly outstanding, but he is better than being thoughtful, steady, and doing things without leakage, and he is responsible for daily defense, and for decades, there has never been a mistake.

Murong Xiongwei walked out of the Haoran Palace, and he kept looking at the time, he was not afraid that I wouldn't be able to catch up, but that I would arrive.

This time, the eldest prince changed the nominee to me, and if he hadn't mentioned it to him, he might not have too many ideas, but after telling him, he changed the nomination to me, which is a very tolerable thing for him.

In this way, not only gave him hope, but also wiped out hope, and almost invisibly told everyone that he was not as majestic as me.

This is the most unbearable for Murong Xiongwei, who is of noble birth and has always been sought after.

He is a dignified son of the royal family, the son of Dayan, and he can't compare to a gangster?

Murong Ziyan bit her lip lightly, she didn't know what she was thinking, maybe she was extremely complicated in her heart.

Prince Yong's Mansion and I have completely gone to the opposite side, and she is the most uncomfortable person.

The time of ten minutes is coming soon, Murong Qi is most concerned about whether I can arrive in time, so he has been paying attention to the time, and when the time reaches nine minutes and thirty seconds, Murong Qi stood up and spoke: "The time of ten minutes is coming soon, Mo Xiaokun has not come yet, it should be when he abstains, Zhu Shangrong automatically wins." ”

The queen is more hopeful to see everyone's performance, from which to select the most suitable candidate, to take Hou Yibai's position, for my absence, she naturally felt a little regretful, looked at Shousuke, Shoufu nodded, she immediately said loudly: "Now I announce ......"

Just in the middle of her words, the figures of the eldest prince and me appeared in sight, and the eldest prince heard the queen's words from a distance, and hurriedly shouted from afar: "Queen Mother, please wait! With that, he took me out of breath and strode forward.

Seeing me and the eldest prince appear in time, Murong Qi, Murong Hang, Prince Yong, Murong Xiongwei and others were all extremely disappointed.

It's just a little bit, it's just a little bit, and we're going to be automatically excluded.

This time, because of a traffic accident, the eldest prince and I had to find another car to come to the palace, and we met a taxi after walking not far away, but there was only one, and it was impossible to sit so many people, so I and the eldest prince immediately decided, we rushed to the palace first, participated in the competition, and Brother Yao, the queen and others came later.

That's why we got there in time.

The eldest prince walked up and first apologized, explaining that he was late because of an emergency and a traffic accident.

Zhu Shangrong, who was under Murong Siqi, could have won automatically, but now that he saw that we arrived in time, something might happen, he was not happy on the spot, and stood up and said: "No matter what the reason, being late is being late, and the ten minutes of grace have passed, they should be disqualified." ”

Hearing Murong Siqi's words, Murong Hang and Murong Qi naturally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to fall into the ground, and they all agreed, saying, "Ten minutes have passed, and we can't give them another chance." ”

The queen looked at the time, and was also embarrassed, although we arrived, but we were a few seconds late.

Just when the queen arrived to be embarrassed, Murong Qing suddenly interjected and said: "Queen Mother, I looked at the time when the eldest brother arrived, it was only nine minutes and forty-eight seconds, and there should be no time beyond the grace limit." ”

Murong Siqi asked Murong Qing on the spot: "How do you remember it so clearly?" ”

Murong Qing said: "When the eldest brother arrived, I looked at the time, didn't you look at the time yourself?" ”

Murong Siqi was speechless on the spot, originally he knew that when the eldest prince and I appeared, it was indeed more than ten seconds away from the time, I thought that I could be confused, but I didn't expect to be mentioned by Murong Qing.

Seeing that Murong Siqi was no longer speaking, the queen said: "Nine minutes and forty-eight seconds did not exceed the final grace time of ten minutes, the competition was carried out normally, and the two sides in the first battle were Mo Xiaokun and Zhu Shangrong!" ”

When I heard the queen's announcement and realized that the first battle of the day was about to be ushered in, I couldn't help but feel a fierce battle intent in my heart, and looked at Zhu Shangrong on the other side.
