Chapter 164: Heaven Dou City Guards, Golden Palace
Night, Heaven Dou City.
Because the royal family was going to hold a large banquet, martial law had already begun on the road leading to the palace.
The soldiers of the city guards, dressed in shining silver armor, with long swords hanging from their waists, shields and long ges, lined up neatly on both sides of the road, stretching for more than ten miles, until they reached the front of the palace square.
And in several city gates, aristocratic and wealthy residential areas, and even near the Heaven Dou Martial Spirit Temple, brigades of city guard soldiers were added.
In the event of a riot, it can be suppressed immediately, which shows the importance that the royal family attaches to tonight's banquet.
At this time, a group of carriages and guards from major aristocratic families and soul master families were walking along the wide avenue to the palace to attend the banquet.
Yu Tianmeng looked at the heavily armed city guard soldiers on both sides of the road through the window screen of the carriage that was as thin as a cicada's wings, and felt a little uneasy.
It's just a banquet, do you need to send so many soldiers?
Just from what she saw along the way, there were no less than 5,000 soldiers, and I am afraid that the 100,000 city guards in Heaven Dou City were all mobilized today.
As a traverser, be cautious, and even more so, always be vigilant against conspiracies. Therefore, Yu Tianmeng immediately remembered the allusion of the "Hongmen Banquet".
Today's dinner will not be a trap set by the Heaven Dou Imperial Family for Zhou Chen.
It shouldn't be possible.
Yu Tianmeng felt that this idea was a bit ridiculous.
The six Titled Douluo of Ziwei Palace were all in Heaven Dou City, and Zhu Zhuqing was even accompanied by Zhou Chen, and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family dared to target Zhou Chen unless they wanted to find death.
This should just be a formation made by the royal family in order to show off the royal pomp.
"My lord, two young ladies, we have arrived at the Imperial City Square, and we can enter the palace directly immediately."
The coachman at the front of the carriage said.
However, he did not stop the carriage, but continued to gallop.
"Oh, has it arrived?"
Zhou Chen woke up from her slumber and found that she had been lying on Zhu Zhuqing's lap, her thighs, which were originally as white as jade, had an extra red mark at this time, which was pressed by Zhou Chen's head.
When the curtain was lifted, the first thing Zhou Chen saw was a huge square.
This square is backed by the palace, extremely vast, enough to accommodate 10,000 people, the square is surrounded by palace knights with golden helmets and golden armor, which is a more elite soul division force than the royal guard, there are only two hundred people in total, all of them are soul kings above level 50.
It can be seen that the foundation of the Heaven Dou Empire is still relatively deep. Two hundred soul kings are equivalent to all the backbone of one sect in the next four sects.
At this time, in the square, at least hundreds of carriages were parked.
The luxurious carriages of the major wealthy families with different family emblems and thousands of guards from the major families blocked the entire square quite crowded.
The reason for the congestion was that neither their carriages nor guards could enter the palace and could only wait outside.
And Zhou Chen is different.
The carriage he was in was originally from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, and the guards were also royal guard knights, so naturally they could directly enter the palace.
This is also the royal family's respect for Zhou Chen.
Therefore, the carriage carrying Zhou Chen and the three of them, under the envious eyes of those nobles and soul masters in the square, slowly drove into the gate of the palace and drove until it reached a large hall in the palace.
This hall is called the Golden Palace, yes, that's the name of the turtle.
It is said that this hall was built by the founding emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, and it is magnificent and splendid.
It is said that the palace is covered with precious dragon marble from the southern part of the empire, the walls and ceiling are painted with gold powder, and the crystal chandelier on the top is made of glowing natural gemstones.
On the walls, there are also oil paintings created by the founding emperors.
The founding emperor is said to have a penchant for painting, and painted thousands of paintings during his lifetime, all of which are hung in this palace.
At this time, at the gate of the palace, dozens of court maids in costumes were waiting outside the door with a respectful face, and in the palace, there was a faint sound of melodious and beautiful harps.
Zhou Chen slowly got out of the carriage, and Zhu Zhuqing and Yu Tianmeng, two women, holding his arms from left to right, followed Zhou Chen.
At the entrance of the palace, a dignitary is constantly entering, and these dignitaries will hand the waiter at the door a red gilded name post, and then there will be a roll call officer in charge of the roll call to inform the whole palace.
"Count Blue has arrived!"
"Royal Academy Heaven Dou level teacher, Your Excellency Sun Buyu has arrived!"
"Earth Dragon Gate, the Southern Thousand Moon Sect Master has arrived!"
The roll caller's voice was high-pitched and high, yes, it was a eunuch.
With the roll call, the dignitaries in gorgeous dresses walked into the hall gracefully, and greeted the nobles who arrived early in the palace with a spring breeze.
These people gathered in groups of three or five, holding clear crystal wine glasses, sometimes chatting, sometimes chuckling.
When Zhou Chen and the three of them walked to the gate of the palace, they also handed over their names.
It's just that this famous post is not Zhou Chen's, nor is it Zhu Zhuqing's, and neither of them wants to publicize their identities in a big way.
Especially Zhu Zhuqing, she is the daughter of the Duke of the Star Luo Empire, and she is really not suitable to announce her name at the banquet of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
Therefore, this is Yu Tianmeng's famous post.
"Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex Family, Miss Yu Tianmeng has arrived!"
As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy banquet hall suddenly fell into a short silence.
Everyone subconsciously looked at the palace gate.
The Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family, although it is declining day by day, is also the top three sects, and it is one of the top soul master families on the Douluo Continent.
Knowing that the descendants of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family have all come to this dinner, many people with lively minds have realized that tonight is unusual.
Originally, Emperor Xueye held this banquet in the name of celebrating Princess Xueke's birthday, but now it seems that this dinner is not simple.
Under the gaze of everyone, a man, two women and three people slowly entered the palace.
"Hiss~"
Just in an instant, many people gasped.
Because the three people in front of him look amazing.
The young man in the middle, dressed in a purple and gold dress, has a handsome face, eyes like stars, and a long body, which makes many aristocratic women present feel spring and handsome.
And the two girls, one on the left and one on the right, are even more stunningly beautiful.
The girl on the left is wearing a long white dress, cold as the moon, but her figure is extremely hot; The girl on the right is wearing a bright silver dress, which looks much more lively, but her figure is relatively flat.
Seeing these two stunning men, most of the men present felt their hearts pounding.
At this time, Zhou Chen, after scanning the palace, found that there was no one he knew, and couldn't help sighing.
It seems that he came early.
It is said that the higher the status, the later the person will appear, and a person as honorable as himself should appear later than the emperor Xueye.
Appearing so early is really a loss of identity.
