The night is bright and the stars are scarce.

On the balcony, Qionglei was left alone.

He looked up at the bright moon, and then looked in the direction of the Forbidden City.

There, a prosperous place, but tomorrow, there will also be a bloody storm.

Firmament lowered his head and clenched his fists.

He was a little hesitant, and he was a little unclear about what he was doing with all his desperate efforts to get these powers.

On both sides of the conflict, who is good and who is evil?

Is the justice and righteousness that he has always adhered to in his heart used in the right place?

Nothing happened overnight.

The sun rises as usual.

The light fell all over the place of Shangjing, and the whole city gradually woke up.

Today is a special day.

The entire Shangjing people know that the Forbidden City opens today and will hold a celebration banquet that is unparalleled in the world.

Outside the Flower of Hell.

Neat and luxurious vehicles are quietly parked on the side of the road.

The street had been sealed off the day before, and the entire street was empty, with no vehicles on the street and no pedestrians on the roadside.

"Emperor, the time is coming, do you want to go to the Forbidden City?"

"Let's go."

"Yes."

Emperor Han straightened his back and walked at the forefront.

This time, he changed into a neat outfit and looked quite formal and handsome.

Behind him, the same battle in leather clothes.

Due to the special nature of this banquet, Jin Song stayed in the Flower of Hell with Natalia and did not enter the Forbidden City with Emperor Han.

Outside the hotel.

Two rows stood neatly trained warriors, each of them armed with weapons on their chests, and exuding a solemn and calm aura.

They were ordered to come here to pick up an important being.

With the moment Emperor Han stepped out of the door of the hotel.

The eyes of all the soldiers outside the arena looked at Emperor Han in unison, and then everyone raised their right hands neatly and saluted Emperor Han.

Emperor Han walked up to a man who seemed to have a high status.

He was also dressed in army green clothes, and several bars on his chest were dazzling, showing his high status.

The man walked up to Emperor Han, first raised his right hand to salute, and then lowered his right hand and spoke.

"I am Bai Yongnian, the captain of the Shangjing Guard, and I have come here to receive the emperor of the northern border into the Forbidden City on the order of Lord Qianlong!"

Behind him, two neat rows of Shangjing guards brushed their mouths at this time.

"Welcome the Emperor of the North to the Forbidden City!"

Emperor Han's face was indifferent, he didn't say a word, and followed Bai Yongnian to sit behind the first domestic supreme.

There are only three vehicles in the country, and the owners of this noble vehicle are all people of high status.

It's not a car that can be obtained with money, it has to be extremely terrifying.

Along the way from the Flower of Hell to the Forbidden City, there were warriors every five meters, and they cleared the streets of all pedestrians, forbidding anyone to approach.

Meanwhile.

There are also quite a few fighters from other directions who are being picked up to the Forbidden City.

On weekdays, the Forbidden City, which has closed its gates, has finally ushered in its public opening day.

This place that represents the center of power is also a rare lively scene.

Many powerful people from all over the world were invited to participate in this celebration banquet, and each of them had a smile on their faces, and they all felt infinitely honored because they were invited.

Among these people, there are lords of power in various places, or people with prominent faces in the business world, and many of them are high-ranking soldiers in various war domains.

In other words, there are no ordinary people who can enter the Forbidden City.

Gongsun family.

Gongsun Xuanba, as the patriarch of one of the four major families in Shangjing, naturally has the qualifications to be invited.

According to the rules, he could choose to bring three people into the Forbidden City together.

Gongsun Xuanba thought that he could bring some juniors into the Forbidden City to see the world, so he selected three from among the juniors.

Among them, Gongsun Shilong, as a direct line, is also the successor of Gongsun Xuanba's heart, so he will naturally not be left behind.

However, Gongsun Xuanba also brought two other people, these two are also quite good juniors, if the performance of the two of them is good enough, then it is not impossible to take the position of patriarch from Gongsun Shilong.

Gongsun Gaojie, Gongsun Yubin and Gongsun Shilong are three people who don't deal with each other.

Because they all know the subtlety of the relationship between them.

It is very likely that in the end, the three of them will fight for the ultimate patriarch succession.

"Xuanba patriarch, my grandson Gao Jie will get rid of your care, Gao Jie, after entering the Forbidden City, remember to talk less, be smart, and don't make trouble for your Xuanba uncle."

"Father, I know."

On this side, the deputy patriarch of the Gongsun family is teaching his son Chunchun.

The other side.

The head of the Gongsun family's deacon hall is also preaching to his son.

"Yubin, this time you are allowed to enter the Forbidden City, not to let you go out and play. This is a very good opportunity for you to see the world, you have to follow your Uncle Xuanba, have a long experience, and don't make trouble. ”

"I see."

This scene is very common in all families.

Because of Qianlong's generosity this time, he directly ordered to invite the patriarchs of various families with heads and faces, and promised to bring three people into Beijing together.

Therefore, all the families worked hard to find ways to select the three best quality places to enter the Forbidden City, after all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

There are even families who hold a selection contest a week in advance to determine the best three of them.

......

Outside the Forbidden City.

Two eight-rank powerhouses guarded the gate, like two Dinghai Shen Needles, calming the audience, so that any young people did not dare to make trouble at will.

Walk along the Forbidden City Gate, and along the way are all soldiers on the Seven Ranks.

If these people are placed elsewhere, they are all powerful people with high status.

But in this Forbidden City, he can only be regarded as the most ordinary warrior.

This is also enough to witness the terrifying degree of the power of the court.

Gongsun Shilong followed behind his father, and next to him there were two people he didn't deal with, Gongsun Yubin and Gongsun Gaojie.

It can be seen that these young people are also entering the Forbidden City for the first time.

Many of the juniors around them followed their elders, and they were also looking around, constantly surprised or amazed.

Although the relationship between these three people is not very good, they are not incommunicative.

Gongsun Gaojie seemed to see some friend and opened his mouth to say hello.

"Jay, I didn't expect you to come too."

"It turned out to be Gongsun Gaojie! You're here too. ”

The person who came was the mainstay of Shangjing, second only to the four major families, and the Jia family, one of the eight families.

The patriarch of the Jia family is the secretary of the council under the command of Shangshu of the Criminal Department in the court.

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department is in charge of the judicial affairs of a country, and its status is naturally extremely lofty and its voice is extremely heavy.

At this moment, Gongsun Gaojie and Jia Yi's acquaintance is to tell Gongsun Shilong and the company Yubin how strong his relationship network is.

At the same time, he also proved his ability to Gongsun Xuanba.

Gongsun Xuanba just glanced at it, and he saw through Gongsun Gaojie's mind at a glance.

As far as he is concerned, the minds of these three juniors are too immature, and everything they think in their hearts and what they want to show off proudly is displayed on their faces.

"These are your friends?"

Jay stepped forward while his father watched him.

"Father, this is a member of the Gongsun family in Shangjing, and he is also my friend."

"It turned out to be from the Gongsun family."

At this time, Jia Yuanzheng also noticed the existence of Gongsun Xuanba.

"Presumably, this is the patriarch of the Gongsun family, who has been admired for a long time, and the first time we met today, it was really as rumored, extraordinary!"

Since the other side is so politely touted, it is naturally impossible for Gongsun Xuanba not to give face on such an occasion.

"It's too famous, my grandson Xuanba is just an ordinary patriarch, it's nothing."

"However, Patriarch Jia is becoming more and more popular in front of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and it is estimated that after the Lord of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is promoted in the near future, the position of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department may be the turn of Patriarch Jia."

Jia Yuanzheng listened to Gongsun Xuanba's words, and his face naturally showed a proud look.

"It's a fateful thing to be able to get to know the Gongsun patriarch today, and if you have the opportunity in the future, you will definitely invite the Gongsun patriarch to sit in Jiafu."

"I'll go if I have the chance."

After a simple scene exchange.

The faces of the three descendants, Gongsun Gaojie, were the most proud, as if he had just made such a great friend for the Gongsun family, and had made some great contribution.

In Shangjing, it is one more friend and one more road.

Independence is a dead end here.
