Outside the Zhou Garden, there was a sea of people, and the people of the palaces of the four princes and the major nobles and generals crowded the empty field in front of the door, and a tall and burly middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe and a golden crown was gathered like the stars holding the moon.

The middle-aged man is none other than His Majesty Yuanzong, the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Every year at the end of the hunt in Zhou Garden, the royal family will send high-ranking officials and important ministers to be responsible for awarding the first prize, this is the custom, this year the Zhou Emperor actually moved to visit, whether it is for the major marquis or to participate in the hunting of the children, it is a great honor.

"Your Majesty, it is a great encouragement for you to be here in person this year, whether it is for the winners or the losers. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, you have a lot of opportunities, and you can be surprised by hunting this little trick played by children, and these boys will be proud. ”

The ministers gathered around Emperor Zhou, you said a word to me, slipped your beard and patted the horse, and offered great hospitality.

Emperor Zhou laughed and said, "In the past few days, I am in a good mood, so I want to come out and go around, cheer up the children, and by the way, tell Zhongqing two good news." ”

"Brother Huang, is there something very joyful?" asked the King of Lingnan.

Emperor Zhou said: "Zhongqing still remember the incident of the third prince's envoy to the Qin State four months ago, right?"

Juluhou hurriedly said: "Of course I remember, did the Qin State promise to send troops to help my Great Zhou attack the Tang State?"

"Juluhou is really in a word. ”

Emperor Zhou glanced at Juluhou and said with a smile: "Not only did the Qin royal family agree to send troops, but the third prince also met the patriarch of the Qin clan, and the patriarch of the Qin clan also agreed to marry his only daughter to the third prince as a concubine, you say, is this a great joy?"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar, and exclamations arose.

Pingyuan Hou Shitian said with a smile: "Qin State is different from my Great Zhou, although the Qin Emperor is the monarch, but the strength of the imperial family is far less powerful than the Qin family, Your Majesty married the sister of the Qin Emperor, laid the foundation for the alliance between the two countries, and now the third prince has become the son-in-law of the patriarch of the Qin family, it seems that the alliance between my Great Zhou and the Qin State is enough to be called invulnerable." ”

The king of Lingnan also said: "Yes, I heard that the daughter of the patriarch of the Qin clan is not only a long-term alluring country, but also a talented cultivation genius, at the age of fourteen, she stepped into the realm of the Seven Heavens of the Zhou Tian Realm, and has the reputation of 'Moon Immortal', the third prince can marry her, which can make a great contribution to my royal family." ”

Zhou Kaohsiung, the king of Lingnan, was originally the younger brother of Emperor Zhou, and at this time, he called himself a royal family with a deep meaning of excluding other princes.

"It's not, it's just that it is also a woman from the Qin family, and the princes born to His Majesty and the Empress are all talented and talented, unlike some people, who are a waste, and having a son is even more waste. ”

It was Juluhou who answered, and as he spoke, he squinted at Zhang Beitian who was not far away.

Qin Huiying, the wife of Zhang Beitian, Marquis of Wu'an, is also the daughter of the royal family of Qin, when she got married, she once became a beautiful talk in Quanyangcheng, I don't know how many people covet Qin Huiying's beauty, but now, this enviable couple has become the laughing stock of the whole city, and the marriage that was a match made in heaven has become flowers with cow dung.

Zhang Beitian's face sank like water, he didn't even look at Juluhou, but stared at Zhou Yuan in front of him calmly, this deaf and dumb demeanor fell in the eyes of others is a show of weakness to Juluhou, and suddenly countless pairs of disdainful eyes fell on him.

"Your Majesty, what is the second happy event?" Pingyuan Hou Shitian glanced at Zhang Beitian and changed the topic.

Emperor Zhou's eyes also stayed on Zhang Beitian, from the moment he appeared, Zhang Beitian and the ministers saluted together and never looked at him again, let alone flattering and greeting, this kind of rude behavior is disrespectful in the eyes of anyone, but Emperor Zhou did not show the slightest sense of displeasure, but there was a softness in his eyes that even ice and snow could melt.

"The second happy event is that I have finally broken through the shackles of the Qi Refining Realm, and now I have officially stepped into the Qi Transformation Realm. ”

"What?"

"Your Majesty has broken the mirror?"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, my Great Zhou finally has another Qi Transformation Realm powerhouse!"

Compared with the third prince marrying the daughter of the patriarch of the Qin clan, the shock brought by this news was even greater.

On the road of martial arts cultivation, there are many martial arts cultivators in Zhou Tianjing, and one of the ten people has cultivation talent, but ninety percent of martial arts cultivation stops at Zhou Tianjing, and can only become the lowest level of martial cultivation.

Above Zhou Tian is the Qi Refining Realm, even if it is just a Qi Refining Realm martial cultivator of the Qi Refining Realm, it is enough to be worthy of the pull of any family, in the army, the Qi Refining Realm Martial Cultivation can be mixed with a centurion at the very least, as long as he accumulates enough military merits, even if he is a civilian, he has the possibility of being promoted to a general and entering the ranks of nobles.

In the Great Zhou, the total number of martial cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm was less than 1,000, while the population of the entire Great Zhou Kingdom was more than 2 million, which showed its weight.

Now there are only three martial cultivators in the Great Zhou Guoming who have the cultivation of the Qi Transformation Realm, one is the chief eunuch of the palace, Liang Gonggong, the other is the Plains Hou Shi Tianchou, and the third is Zhang Chaoyang, who has not heard from him since entering the 100,000 Mountains five years ago!

Now, Emperor Zhou has also stepped into the Transformation Qi Realm, which means that Great Zhou has one more town-level powerhouse, and he is also the youngest Transformation Qi Realm master.

In the cheers and congratulations of everyone, no one noticed that a cold light flashed in the eyes of Zhang Beitian, who had been unwavering, and his hands hanging down in his sleeves clenched into fists violently, and his nails were deeply pierced into the flesh due to excessive force.

"Look, someone's coming out. ”

When the ministers were rejoicing at Emperor Zhou's broken mirror, the first hunting team finally appeared in Zhou Garden.

"It's my son!"

One of the generals shouted in surprise and rushed a few steps forward to meet him.

The hunting party was led by a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old, who was in tattered clothes and haggard, and was followed by two equally ragged guards, one of whom had a bandage on his arm and had a broken arm, and the other stumbled step by step with a knife as a crutch, and when he saw the people waiting in the square, he could no longer support it, and one of them fell to the ground and passed out.

The hunting team except for Zhang Qingfeng was a team of six, and this team suffered heavy losses, three of the five guards died, and the remaining two were also injured. This scene suddenly made the elders of the major princes and nobles nervous.

"The first one to go out of Zhou Garden is the fourth prince of the Fubian General's Mansion, please ask the fourth prince to come to the stage, count the beast cores, and calculate the points. ”

With the emergence of the first hunting team, another hunting team came out one after another.

"Xiao Dong, it's my son Xiao Dong. ”

Juluhou exclaimed, and his hanging heart finally let go.

"Father, this hunting for my son has yielded a lot of gains, and the ninth-order brute beast hunt has killed eleven of them!"

Xiao Dong was in high spirits, and when he saw his father Juluhou shouting loudly, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
