Eternal Peak, the Royal Palace

Chu Sanxun asked, "By the way, eldest brother, how is the second sister doing?" ”

The corners of the eldest brother's mouth curled a little: "Second sister, she is fine, she is busy recruiting guards." ”

Chu Sanxun said strangely: "What is the second sister recruiting guards for?" Didn't she have no guards before, why did she suddenly start recruiting guards? ”

The young man smiled and did not speak.

Chu Sanxun saw that the time was almost up, and raised his hand to say goodbye: "Big brother, I'll go to see my father first." After reading my father and queen, I will introduce someone to you. ”

"Okay, let's go."

......

After Chu San left, the young man said to a gray-haired sturdy man beside him, "Pei Bi, how is that incident?" ”

Pei Bi said respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, the people have already been arranged, they will definitely be able to go in." ”

"That's good, I'm sure the guard is under my control."

"Yes, Your Highness. Now that the third prince is back, do you want to arrange for someone to spy on him? ”

The young man smiled contemptuously: "No, I know this waste brother very well. He doesn't have the heart, let alone the strength, to compete with me for that position. However, compared to the second sister, I like his knowledge of current affairs very much. ”

"This position belongs to His Highness, it is predestined."

"That's nature." The young man shook his hand, looking like he was winning.

......

......

After leaving the hotel, the ark looked at the map for a while, and quickly locked on a target - the activity plaza in the southern district.

As a gathering area for people, the square has a strong flow of people, making it a good place to search for information.

Soon the Ark arrived in this sprawling square, surrounded by a tree-lined pool, interspersed with high bridge benches, and in the center was a stone pillar carved with memories of the Holy Oath Empire since its creation.

When the ark arrived, it was found that the people in the square were all at this time

Gathered in a corner of the park, the ark squeezed in to take a look, and found that everyone was watching a bulletin board.

There are a variety of messages posted on the bulletin board, and two of them are the most prominent.

One of the pieces of information paper was printed with a pattern of squares wrapped in circles, which the Ark had seen before, and it was the monogram of the Skywalker Chamber of Commerce.

This information paper is a promotional advertisement for the annual auction of the Skywalker Chamber of Commerce. As the No. 1 business organization of the Holy Oath Empire, the Skywalker Chamber of Commerce has extraordinary strength in itself, and with the Holy Oath Empire as its backing, the Skywalker Chamber of Commerce can collect precious items in several nearby star systems.

The annual auction of the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce will auction the precious items of the year, which is an absolute event, and those who can get the tickets for the auction of the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce must be those who have wealth and status.

In addition to the time and place of the auction, the advertisement also printed the important items of the auction. As is customary, the top three finale lots of this auction are all kept secret, leaving only a blurry image that can only be known if you go to the auction.

This is also to maintain the mystery of the auction, increase the popularity of the topic and thus increase the income of the auction.

However, some people found that this year's flyer was a little different, and the colors were much darker. And above the top three lots, there seems to be a very faint shadow.

There seems to be some information hidden on this advertisement.

However, as a layman, the ark naturally did not notice this, and what he cared about was another piece of information.

......

This message is posted at the top of the list, which is enough to show its importance.

This is a recruitment announcement.

The recruiter is the only imperial daughter of the empire - His Royal Highness Mingxin.

The announcement indicated: This recruitment of 2,000 soldiers of the Imperial Women's Mansion Guard, with excellent benefits, complete insurance measures, and regular imperial military status.

Those who are interested will participate in the assessment, and only those who pass the assessment can join the Imperial Guard.

And the top twenty in the assessment can join the personal guards of the Imperial Daughter's Mansion, and they will protect His Highness Mingxin with them.

The advertisement sparked a lot of discussion.

A young man in his twenties said: "I have long heard that His Royal Highness Mingxin looks like a city, and I am going to take the assessment to join the Imperial Guards, no, I want to join the Guards." ”

After hearing this, his companion immediately dismantled the stage and said: "Don't be funny, you are an ordinary person who has never carried out a single genetic enhancement, you can breathe when you run five hundred meters, and you will only drag the back of the Imperial Daughter's Mansion when you encounter danger." ”

"You!" The young man's face turned red, and he wanted to refute it, but what his companion said was the truth.

At this time, an uncle next to him said: "Young people, don't think too much, those who have passed the assessment to join the guard are definitely genetically strengthened several times, and they must also be masters of martial arts." It's no fun for ordinary people to go. ”

A passer-by next to him answered: "This brother is right. But I have a question, why would His Highness Mingxin recruit guards at this time? ”

......

Imperial rules: Each prince and princess can recruit two thousand private guards, but only the eldest prince Mingxuan recruited a full number of guards early, and the second princess Mingxin and the third prince Mingxun have not recruited guards for decades, so why would she recruit guards now?

The uncle said with an unfathomable face: "Don't forget what day this year is, this year is Your Majesty's five hundredth birthday." ”

At this point he stopped, and did not continue to explain. But after such a little bit of his dialing, everyone immediately understood. Since the founding of the Holy Oath Empire, the upper limit of the lifespan of every emperor is five hundred years old, and the current emperor is exactly five hundred years old this year, if nothing else, the emperor will die this year, and the new emperor will be selected among these three princes and princesses.

The time of regime change is a very dangerous time for all the heirs to the throne.

......

Passers-by suddenly realized: "You are Your Highness, She..."

The uncle hurriedly stopped him: "Don't speak, don't speak." ”

Passers-by also came to their senses and quickly shut up.

Openly discussing royal matters, there is no good fruit to eat if you are caught.

As they continued their discussion, the Ark in the crowd had already turned away, and he had gone to the same place as the assessment address indicated on the recruitment notice.

That's right, he is going to take the test and join the Imperial Guard, and he must be a personal guard.

The Ark's purpose in doing so is clear.

Mingxin, as an imperial family, must also be a member of the Guangyi clan, and it is naturally easier to find out the affairs of the Guangyi clan when she is close to her.

Moreover, getting close to the core of this kind of empire will make it easier to get into the secret information of the empire, and he can also take the opportunity to find out the truth behind the death of Xiaocao.

And since Mingxin chose to recruit the guards at this time, she must have sensed the danger, or she wanted to give others danger.

Either way, a fight is inevitable.

And fighting, however, is the Ark's favorite.
