Chapter 205: Prince Chun Arrives
Gao Wei stayed honestly in the post station, he already knew that although this world didn't seem to be strong, and even a little weak, it was just what he saw. If nothing else, let's just talk about Prince Chun and Prince Chun's old guard, as far as the strength of the two of them is concerned, Gao Wei can't see through it. It can only be judged that their strength is definitely much higher than Gao Wei, and Gao Wei has defeated the Heavenly Punishment God of the Immortal Realm before. This makes Gao Wei very strange, the strength of these people should be very high even in the immortal realm, and they should be able to obtain an extremely high status. is obviously extremely powerful, but he lives in a corner and lives a dull life in the imperial city of the Ming Empire. Is there any purpose? Or is it just seclusion? Gao Wei vaguely felt that it was not such a simple matter, but if there were other things, Gao Wei really couldn't figure out what the connection was.
Just when Gao Wei was still thinking about it, the door opened with a squeak. It is Guan Cheng in the post station, he is here to invite Gao Wei to the inner city of the Imperial City, today is a big day, the opening ceremony of the Imperial City Martial Arts Association is today. It was the biggest event in the entire empire in the past century, and its importance cannot be overstated. All those who come to the families of the empire, whether male or female, master or servant. Everyone must be present.
The Imperial City Martial Arts Association is located in the very center of the empire, the central imperial city in the center of the imperial city. At this time, all the dignitaries and nobles in the entire imperial city, including His Majesty the Emperor himself, and even the previous emperors before the emperor, should be present if they are alive. This is the rule that the empire has continued for an unknown number of eras, and it is also the grand performance of the Imperial City Martial Arts Association, and it is also an opportunity to reflect the strength of the Ming Empire.
Gao Wei has been in the Imperial City for a while in the past few days, but the Central Imperial City in the center of the Imperial City is really the first time he has come in. Gao Wei hadn't gone in before this, not because he didn't want to, but because Prince Chun had indeed suppressed him before. Today, Gao Wei can be regarded as entering the Central Imperial City openly.
The Central Imperial City itself was built for the Imperial City Martial Arts Association, to put it bluntly, the Central Imperial City itself is a huge martial arts arena, and in the middle is a huge martial arts platform. With the stage as the center, there are circles of seats on all sides. In this way, everyone can see the situation on the stage clearly. Surrounded by gold and brilliance, the entire Central Imperial City is actually a real golden city.
With such a building, even Gao Wei had to sigh at the luxury of His Majesty the Emperor. Extremely luxurious, how much financial, manpower, and material resources did it cost to build this Central Imperial City? Looking at every building in the Central Imperial City, it reveals one of the emperor's thoughts -- showing off his wealth! Or should it be official, this is called a strong country.
Gao Wei looked at these and couldn't help but shake his head. If the imperial city of an empire is so extravagant, then what kind of misery must those people in the empire live in? Gao Wei had seen the lives of the lowest civilians in Cloud City and Ningfu City before. Wotou pickles and dried sweet potatoes, cold water is considered the soup in this meal. Gao Wei has never lived that kind of life, but looking at the thin appearance of those civilians, you can know how hard it is.
Think about Ningfu City before, whether it was encountering a beast tide or later falling into a demon domain step by step. The empire didn't send a single person to interfere in this matter, so it allowed Ningfu City to be swallowed up by the Demon Domain little by little, and millions of ordinary people died. But even so, the empire did not react in the slightest.
Now look at this imperial city, look at this central imperial city, glittering, extremely luxurious. Even the Tian Yuan World, even the Imperial Palace of the Tian Yuan Empire did not have such luxury. But here, it's not the core of the Imperial Palace, it's just a Central Imperial City. Gao Wei couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart: Ningfu City was shocked and didn't see the slightest reaction from the empire, but this Imperial City Martial Arts Association, all the big families with faces in the entire empire came here. Some even brought heavy gifts, and I don't know what they were for.
Gao Wei and the people of the Huang family walked for a long time under the leadership of specialized personnel to reach their position, which was not very far from the emperor's position, and it was also very close to the ring. It's a good position, Gao Wei, as the person with the highest status in the Huang family this time, sat at the front. Speaking of which, this is the first time Gao Wei has represented a force in a grand event!
All the major forces arrived one after another, and each found its own place and sat down. They all began to talk to the forces they were familiar with, and they were idle, and what they said was nothing more than polite words like they hadn't seen each other for a long time and how they had been recently, and there was nothing to say.
The Huang family, the Dongfang family, and the Yuwen family are not far away. But these three have always remained lukewarm, and they don't say anything, and only these three are the most calm in the audience. Only Gao Wei's apprentice, Feng Tianming, was restless, scratching his ears and cheeks. After all, he had never seen such a scene, and he was born with a temper that couldn't sit still. If Gao Wei hadn't asked him to be honest, he would have slipped away a long time ago. Gao Wei was also afraid that he would go out and cause something.
Just when the various families were still chatting, a sharp voice sounded: "Your Majesty has arrived!"
The various families instantly fell silent and returned to their positions as fast as they could. Stand up and wait for His Majesty the Emperor to arrive.
Although Gao Wei doesn't like this, after all, he used to mix in the upper echelons, and these face-saving things still have to be done. What's more, if you don't get into trouble, you still try to get into trouble as little as possible, after all, you now represent the Huang family. You can't implicate the Huang family because of your own little things!
His Majesty the Emperor walked to the front of the stage step by step, with a burly figure, a resolute face, and an imperial temperament that suppressed the audience, making people involuntarily want to kneel down, recognize His Majesty the Emperor as the Lord, and serve loyally.
At this time, Gao Wei suddenly thought of another person - Prince Chun. Two people, one makes people feel high, and the other makes people feel like a spring breeze. These two people are almost two extremes.
When everyone saw the emperor sitting still, they shouted in unison, "Long live my king!"
The emperor smiled, and even the laughter was full of domineering, and said, "Get up, sit down!" After everyone sat down, the emperor continued to smile and said: "Everyone knows the rules of the Imperial City Martial Arts Association, so I won't say more." However, I have prepared a show for you as the opening show for today!"
With a wave of his hand, a prisoner cart was pushed over. There was no cage in the cart, only a cross, on which was a man in tow, flesh and blood were blurred, and the body was exposed with white bones. Some of the noble children who had never seen much blood almost fainted at that time.
Just when the emperor was smiling, suddenly another sharp voice sounded: Prince Chun has arrived!
