Chapter 144: Yingjie

Her battlefield?

Standing on the high platform, standing in front of Jiang Yuanyuan, His Royal Highness the Second Highness of Nanchu, the girl's words still echoed in Ji Jiashu's ears.

Looking down at the empty center of the venue from above, he seemed to be able to see the figure of the girl swinging her sword.

How the hell did she get here, and where did she go?

Just then, a loud bell interrupted his thoughts.

"It's auspicious!"

"Open the door!"

Accompanied by the high-pitched chanting of the palace officials and the inhalation of the examiners around them, the sixteen doors of the main building of the Southern Chu Imperial Prayer Province opened together.

The stone door of the cave is suddenly opened.

In the square outside the open gate, there were large areas of cultivators who were pressed by black.

Countless torches were blazing, and the long halberds in the hands of the guards of the Southern Chu Palace were shining brightly, and the lights were dazzling, dazzling everyone's eyes.

This was the first time in the history of Southern Chu that the opening ceremony of the primary ceremony was held at night.

What postponed it to the evening was his engagement with the woman.

But even at night, countless lights that had been prepared for a long time decorated the Southern Chu Imperial Prayer Province with brilliant colors, not only not darker than daylight, but made the scene more spectacular.

Countless lights, torches, swords, and shadows are dotted among them, and the grandeur and majesty have an unusual atmosphere.

This is the ranking of the first great country in Middle-earth after the destruction of the Qin Empire, and it is also a demonstration of the national strength of Southern Chu.

In such an atmosphere, everyone's eyes were infected by it, and at this time, all the cultivators finally had a real feeling.

The most important ceremony for all young practitioners has finally begun.

Counting the first two times that Emperor Taizu had begun to try before the Qin Empire was unified, on this continent, the Elementary Grand Ceremony had been held seven times.

People held their breath for its eighth arrival.

"The opening ceremony of the primary ceremony," the Southern Chu Rite Officer announced loudly.

"Let's get started!"

"The first item!"

"The examiner's selection is announced!"

Here it comes.

Standing at the end of the Qianqin team, Ying Baoyue stood on tiptoe, barely seeing where the young man was standing.

It's really, really high.

But beside him, in the middle of a row of examiners on the high platform, there was an old man. Even Mr. Haoran was respectful to that person.

Ying Baoyue knew that it must be the main exam of this beginner ceremony.

The man was standing too far away from her, and his figure was not as recognizable as Ji Jiashu, and she didn't know who he was for a while.

But the next moment, the old man's name arrived.

"This year's main exam is ......"

After the official announced it loudly, all the practitioners in the square bowed in unison under the command.

And just after getting up, a whispered discussion suddenly exploded among the cultivators in the square.

"It's actually Mr. Mengyang!"

"Some people guessed before, I didn't believe it, I didn't expect it to be ......"

"I heard that after this elementary ceremony, Mr. Mengyang will step down from the Jixia School Palace, and he will serve as the main examiner before he leaves office......

"Only Mr. Mengyang can convince the public, hey, if there is no such unfilial girl, it will be flawless......"

Ying Baoyue listened to the discussions around her, and her fingers moved slightly.

"Shhhhhhh......h

"It's also a crime, I heard that Mr. Mengyang's concubines have all entered the palace as concubines, how can there be people who don't do the concubines of the long house, but they just ran to the border to join the army......"

"I heard that I was deceived back then...... I'm still outcast......"

"It's no wonder that Mr. Mengyang is so disgusted with the big and young masters, it's all caused by that daughter......"

In the crowd, Ying Baoyue raised her head and quietly looked at the old man in the middle of the high platform.

Although she still couldn't see clearly, at this moment she had already sketched his image in her mind.

It's just because she's still a person she knows.

The main examination of the Southern Chu Elementary Ceremony in the seventh year of the Warring States Period.

Jixia School Palace is now sacrificing wine, one of the three princes of Southern Chu, a third-level heavenly cultivator, and the patriarch of the Li clan of Southern Chu known as Mr. Mengyang, Li Mengyang.

Among the many titles, there is actually one more.

That was one of the enemies of Ying Baoyue's previous life.

One of these rumors before was wrong, that is, Li Mengyang was not disgusted with the big and young orders. This man is just ...... It's just a grudge against her, and it's not her master's business.

Because of some things, she had a very deep relationship with Li Mengyang's Liangzi back then.

Of course, even if she meets him now, she won't want to reconcile with him, and Li Mengyang can't reconcile with her. After all, the feelings of the person who stood between him and her were the most important thing to her.

It's just that now, thinking of that person's possible situation, she can't even inquire about her whereabouts.

At this moment, the voice of the ceremonial official came again, interrupting some of Ying Baoyue's memories of the past.

Almost no one thought that after Li Mengyang's name was read, Ji Jiashu's name would be read in the second place.

Although all the cultivators who had participated in the banquet had already known in advance that Ji Jiashu would become an examiner, they were somewhat mentally prepared.

But when the boy was read by the second, the bottom still exploded.

Just because although there is no deputy examiner in the elementary canon, according to the past practice, the second person who is read is generally equivalent to the deputy examiner.

But Ji Jiashu is only fifteen years old this year, and he only participated in the beginner ceremony three years ago, and the rank is currently level five.

Although there is no problem with the rank of the ordinary examiner of the original rank ceremony, when there is still the peak of the fourth rank among the examiners, it is really controversial to let a fifteen-year-old boy occupy such a high position.

"Is it to curry favor with the national teacher......

"The National Teacher is not here this time, so let his son represent him?"

"No, the order of this place is all discussed, is it really ......?"

Everyone here knows that Ji Jiashu is very strong, but because of these reasons, it is inevitable that he will be confused for a while.

But Ji Jiashu didn't have any arguments, and the examiner's reading process continued.

After the examiners sat down in the assigned positions, it was finally time for the elite of the six countries to debut.

"Nan Chu stepson, come forward!"

This time, the order of admission is according to the ranking of the people in the previous Beginner Ceremony.

As the absolute winner of the last session, this time the local team of Nanchu naturally enjoys the privilege of entering the door for the first time and accepting the "review" for the first time.

Looking at his steady expression, Chen Zichu, who was actually more like a bitter face than he usually did, led Ye Siyuan and other Nanchu cultivators into the venue, and for some reason the broadcast sounded in Ying Baoyue's mind, "The next thing coming to us is the Nanchu team, they are holding ...... in their hands."

She quickly stopped the strange association and stood on tiptoe again.

After Southern Chu, there was the Northern Wei, followed by Eastern Wu, then Later Liao, Central Tang, and finally ......

Qianqin.

Qianqin is really at the bottom......

Not to mention anything else, compared with the large number of people in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the number of people in the former Qin team was pitiful, and it was barely enough for Yinghuyue and Guichen to hide behind.

It is enough to show the gap between Qianqin and the surrounding countries over the years.

And this gap is also reflected in the race for the first place.

"The third item!"

"The race for the first place is ready to begin, please arrange the people who will participate!

The characters chosen by various countries have risen one after another.

But when the candidates for the first Qin to participate in the scramble stood up, the people in the entire venue were still caught off guard for a while.

"He's it?"
