Chapter 27 Fermentation of Public Opinion
Nangong Youth Arena, inside the main entrance.
Nangong Zheng squinted at Tie Long and said with a smile: "Tie Dai Alliance Leader, there are Beihai guests present today, and the Nangong family does not dare to be sloppy." Ling Lang is the leader of the young students of the Five Clans Alliance, why not let him appear as a free competitor to compete with the young men of the Royal Martial Arts Mansion, so as to make today's entertainment show even more exciting? ”
After a pause, Tie Long said in a sneering voice: "The dog has mediocre talent, how dare he compete with three genius boys!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Huo Xu seemed to hear the sound of dignity smashing to the ground, looked at Tielong's embarrassment playfully, and then looked at the three brocade-clothed young men.
Gu Lin Hanyu and Gu Lin Gu Nian, these two young scholars of the royal family have straight backs and high heads, and the indifference of disdain and disdain for others is quite hurtful to the vision of onlookers.
Hurt Qiulin turned his head suddenly, stared at Huo Xu in disgust, and hummed two words through his nose: "Trash!" ”
Hehe, Nangong Zheng smiled, suddenly approached Huo Xu's ear, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "As soon as the young man of the Royal Martial Arts Mansion appeared, the other challenged people automatically stepped aside, and it is expected that few young people from various sects dare to challenge on stage, so they are afraid of being cold."
Anyway, you have to earn yourself a chance to make up the test, and it's the same to challenge anyone.
As long as you come to the stage to challenge the Royal Martial Arts Boy, the cheats are free of handling fees, not only free of charge, but also willing to post upside down, no matter whether you win or lose, you can get a lot of money. How's that, isn't it a little exciting? ”
His gaze wandered, Huo Xu squinted at Nangong Zheng, "How much is the pay?" ”
"Twenty thousand silver coins."
"Twenty thousand is too little, forty thousand!"
"Deal!" Nangong Zheng slapped Huo Xu on the shoulder, and the latter's left shoulder sank, and his body turned half a circle.
Standing up straight, Huo Xu suddenly raised his middle finger at Huert Qiulin, "I'll beat you up later!" ”
"Wow!"
Huo Xu's action was not hurtful, but it was extremely insulting, and Huert Qiulin was so angry that his cheeks were trembling.
"Gongzi Huert, Huo Xu challenged you, you shouldn't refuse, right? Okay, that's it! Before Huert Qiulin said evil words, Nangong Zheng said.
······
Nangong Junior Arena is the largest and most reputable junior arena in Lofe City.
Whenever a Rank 9 Junior who has reached the age of 16 has to challenge a new Element, or a Grade 6 to Grade 8 Junior Scholar who is about to expire to challenge a Rank 9 Junior or a New Rank, in order to have a chance to take a make-up examination, this place will become their preferred competition venue.
In addition, it also undertakes a free competition between young students, and both parties must be of the same age and level, and the official junior students are excluded.
Directly in front of the stadium is a square arena with an area of 225 square meters and no fence around it.
The auditorium can accommodate more than 3,000 people, and the seats are arranged from low to high, with the low seating area in the front belonging to the young audience who enter for free admission, and the high seating area in the back belonging to the adult audience who enter with a ticket.
Most adults come here for one purpose, to bet on gambling!
The competition between the Yuan scholars is held once every three years, and the competition between the young Heavenly Saint powerhouses is only held once every five years, and both are hosted by several major sects in turn, and the interval is too long, so this has become the most frequent place for gamblers in the capital.
On the second floor of the venue, there are gorgeous private rooms for receiving VIPs.
Ticket income and fee income are only a small part of the total income of Nangong Youth Arena, but the big part is the commission drawn from the gambler winners.
At this moment, the audience was already full, and there were dozens of sects in the capital, large and small, and the sect masters of most of the sects came here early to see the excitement after learning about the changes in the Five Clans Alliance yesterday.
After waiting for a long time, they found that the Nangong family had deliberately set the preferred opponent for today's competition, and everyone was more or less puzzled.
For the sake of a few Beihai guests, the scheduled projects of others are still the style of the Nangong family?
What's even worse is that three teenagers came to the Royal Martial Arts Mansion at once, including two teenagers from the royal family, which is digging a pit for various sects!
According to the convention, as long as the martial arts teenagers are present, they should be the first choice of the challengers of the various sects, because this type of competition is the least likely to be adulterated and has the highest credibility.
On the other hand, inviting a strong ninth-level Yuan Shao and two newly promoted Yuan Scholars from the Royal Martial Arts Mansion indicates that there are more over-aged ninth-level Yuan Shao who are ready to come to the stage to challenge, or there are more sixth-to-eighth-level Yuan Shao who are about to overage.
Otherwise, there is no need for this.
Not to mention, among the various sects, there are really a lot of people in these two categories.
However, the three young men of the Martial Arts Mansion who were entering the hall had unkind faces, frivolous demeanor, and obvious lack of education, and the sect masters of the various sects frowned.
Even if he is a young man from the royal family, he is uneven, and it is inconvenient for everyone to ask for anything at this point, but why did the Nangong family invite all the rough goods?
Glimpsing the time axis in the audience, the hearts of the sect masters suddenly became clear.
Who was sent by the Royal Martial Arts Mansion to the Nangong Youth Arena, this matter naturally could not be avoided by the interference of the time axis.
Things gather like things, how can the teenager who has been selected by the time axis be good at stubble?
In the box in the middle of the second floor, including two women, three Beihai guests and two escorts from the Prime Minister's Mansion were already seated, and they were subjected to countless pairs of doubtful eyes repeatedly "questioning".
After entering, Huo Xu caught Feng Yang from the low seat area, waved at her, and wanted to walk to the contestant seat under the competition platform to take a seat, and suddenly noticed two pairs of strange eyes staring at him.
He looked up, his gaze swept over.
It was Tie Shan and Mu Sen, and the two of them sat in the low seat area, whispering while venting their disdain for Huo Xu with their eyes.
Huo Xu's heart was full of waves. He naturally understood that the Nangong family was helpless to replace the opponent in the competition, and it was not as simple as not hindering the Beihai guests.
Compared with a mediocre talent like Tie Shan, the three brocade-robed boys are excellent stepping stones, stepping on one person is enough to shock the audience!
Taking a deep breath, Huo Xu walked straight to the players' seats under the arena.
He felt that the arena not far away was his initial stage.
He didn't want to prove anything, he just wanted to declare that he was setting sail for a future that was destined to be uncertain and full of possibilities.
"We're going to change our clothes!"
The two royal teenagers were ashamed to sit next to Huo Xu, got up angrily, threatened to change their clothes, left the host with a smiling face, and swaggered to the backstage.
The two of them are new Yuanshi, and in their eyes, if they want to challenge them, the challenger generally has to be an overage ninth-level yuanshao, or at least an eighth-level yuanshao who is about to overage, in order to be qualified.
And Huo Xu is only seven years younger, although this thing is quite self-aware and does not dare to challenge the new Yuanshi, but the two of them feel ashamed to sit with him.
The key is that the brocade robe of this goods seems to have "collided" with them······
"There are first-stage and second-stage Yuanshi robes in the backstage, and the two sons each pick a fit." The host in a purple robe smiled helplessly and commanded the backs of the two.
The blue-robed host is Nangong Zheng's third brother Nangong Cuo, a three-star Yuanjue, with good strength, but he has to accompany the smiling face and let the two little Yuanshi play tricks, and he is really aggrieved.
"I'm going to change my clothes too!" The stout Hurt Tyulin reacted half a beat slower, and only then did he leave his seat, waving his arms and saying angrily.
He didn't expect to be the target of the challenge of the over-aged ninth-level yuanshao, but he didn't expect to be challenged by a seventh-level yuanshao.
Nangong Cuo barely squeezed out a smile, and whispered: "Prince Huerte, the two of them have been promoted to Yuanshi, although the certificate has not yet been officially issued, but it is understandable to change into Yuanshi robes, and Gongzi is wearing a special Yuanshao robe made by the Royal Martial Arts Mansion, which is exactly the same as your identity, how to change?" ”
"Wow!" Hurt Qiulin raised his head and roared, looking annoyed, turned to stare at Huo Xu, and gritted his teeth: "Trash, come to the stage, let you die in minutes!" ”
"Uncle Cuo." Huo Xu ignored Hurt Qiulin's provocation, but greeted Nangong Cuo.
Nangong Cuo patted Huo Xu on the shoulder, and then flew onto the arena.
"Ahem, ahem." Nangong Cuo faced the audience, waved his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, opened his mouth, and swept the audience in a loud voice: "I'm really sorry to keep everyone waiting, but your wait is worth it." Three genius teenagers from the Royal Martial Arts Mansion came to the Bad House, and today's competition is very interesting!
The challenger in the first battle was Huo Xu, a highly talented young student from the Five Clans Alliance, and Huo Feng, the master of the Fire Alliance who was famous in the capital back then, was his own uncle!
The challenged person is Huerte Qiulin, a strong ninth-level young student from the Royal Martial Arts Mansion who has just been received by Her Royal Highness the Queen! ”
Extremely talented? Just this product, Yuan Shao's seventh level has become extremely talented?
Boom! Boom! Knock ······ More than a dozen jaws in the low seat area slammed on the ground.
Tie Shan, Mu Sen and the more than ten Tie Clan students present couldn't believe their ears, Mu Sen's reaction was particularly strong, he stood up stunned, raised one arm, and raised his voice in questioning: "In the Five Clan Alliance, Tie Shan and I are the most talented······
"Please take the stage!"
Nangong Cuo's thunderous voice completely drowned out that sharp voice.
Hurt Qiulin flew up to the arena and raised his chin high at the fire.
Pulling at the sleeves of his somewhat wrinkled robe, he slowly walked up the stage step by step, calmly raising his eyes on the way, looking at the face of Hurt Qiulin that was distorted and deformed by mania, and there was not a trace of wave in Huo Xu's eyes.
······
Miyagi, outside the Ziyang Gate.
Nearly 10,000 people gathered in the square, most of them were elderly, weak, women and children.
The scene was full of crying and shouting.
"The Northern Expedition is not dead, the royal family is secretive and does nothing, which makes the world's sects chilling!"
"Get back my son who hasn't returned from the Northern Expedition!"
"Give back my parents! Give back my brother! ”
······
In the palace city, in the Sanqiu Hall close to the Ziyang Gate, Queen Hulan Xuechan was dressed in a two-star Yuanzai orange robe, sitting with her forehead propped up, and her face was ugly.
In front of the queen's seat, there were two blue-robed powerhouses, the one on the left was Zongren Mansion Zongzheng Gulin Mangyu, a nine-star Yuanjue powerhouse, about forty years old; The person on the right is Gu Lin Haobo, the head of the Rite Domain, who is also a strong man of the Nine Star Yuanjue, and is nearly fifty years old.
The sturdy Gu Lin Haobo raised his eyes to look at the queen's face, and then said carefully:
"There's no way to take Kui Qiu from the Rite Domain, but Huo Feng's nephew is talking nonsense, don't let him go. Right now, this son is in the Nangong Juvenile Fighting Hall, and the palace is also there, Her Royal Highness the Queen, it is better to send someone to spread the word, order the time axis to take down the hateful young man, and let the ministers teach him how to behave! ”
There was a flash of anger in her eyes, but the queen hesitated and did not attack.
His eyes rolled a few times, and the well-proportioned Gu Lin Mangyu grinned a little mysteriously, and said slowly: "Your Royal Highness the Queen, the time axis is a little incomprehensible.
It is said that the huge inheritance left by Huo Feng has disappeared, his only nephew is named Huo Xu, and he did not perform well on the day of the autumn test, and under the bombardment of several leading figures of the Five Clans League, his succession is not guaranteed, and he is forced to go to the Luoxia Mountains to experience, so Huo Xu clashed with them.
At this time, the time axis was inserted horizontally and openly supported the leader of the Five Clans Alliance, which completely angered Huo Xu, and was ridiculed by Huo Xu.
At that time, there were people from dozens of sects in the capital, and in front of so many people, the time axis was ······ It's out of proportion. ”
"Chrono, you idiot! Recently, the letters from various sects complaining about him flew into the Three Autumn Hall like snowflakes, and the deity didn't have time to read them all! ”
The embankment of reason suddenly collapsed, the queen was furious, slapped the armrest of the seat, and left her seat suddenly, her face gloomy, and her eyes pierced Gu Lin Haobo's slanted forehead, "Take down that young man?" Do you want the royal family to leave the truth that you want to cover! ”
"Minister······ I didn't think about it and lost my words. Gu Lin Haobo saluted, and slightly tilted his head and glared at Gu Lin Mangyu.
The queen waved her hand and said coldly: "Go down, take care of your people, don't make trouble in Ziyang Square!" ”
"Yes."
After Gu Lin Haobo left the palace, the queen paced back and forth impetuously, and suddenly fixed in front of Gu Lin Mangyu, her eyes froze, and ordered: "You will go to the Nangong Youth Competition Hall at this moment to watch the time axis." Your Majesty is in retreat, and it will be more than a month before you can get out, and you must not get involved at this time! ”
"Command!" When Gu Lin Mangyu saluted, a smile flashed in the corner of his eye.
Looking at Gu Lin Mangyu's back, the queen tried her best to calm down, until her breath was completely even, she straightened out her slightly messy sideburns and slowly walked out of the Three Autumn Palace.
Without a single servant, the queen came to the Ziyang Gate alone and faced the black crowd in the square.
The crying and shouting gradually stopped.
The queen's face was sad, her eyes were full of tears, and her tone was warm and full of sorrow.
"Like you, the deity often misses those soldiers who did not return from the northern expedition, and your sorrow, the deity empathizes.
The deity hereby solemnly promises that the Xihe royal family will meet with the Beihai people as soon as possible, review the battle of Beihai, reconfirm the process and results of the battle, see if the northern expedition has any chance of survival, and spread the results of the review to all sects in the capital.
In view of the bizarre testimony provided by the only eyewitness, the Imperial Sect Mansion, the Martial Arts Mansion, and the Rite Domain will dispatch a large number of personnel to try to find other witnesses in order to confirm whether the bright light was really an attack beam sent by a powerful person.
The deity will also invite all the world's famous jade carvers to gather in Luofei City to identify the provenance of the five remnants of jade, and to test and determine the approximate time when they fell into the green mountain······"
