Chapter Ninety-One: Dignitaries Gathered
"Ladies and gentlemen, the first Youth Fighting Conference between the Xihe Empire and the Beihai Kingdom is now open!
This competition has attracted the attention of the world, and during the preparation period, it has received strong support from people from all walks of life such as the royal family, various official offices of the empire, and the Nangong family, and Her Royal Highness the Queen has personally inquired about ······"
On the competition stage, a man dressed in the official robe of the Royal Martial Arts Mansion was like a river, this person took Nangong Cuo's job, guest host, wearing shoes and hats to spit nonsense, challenging the limit of patience of the audience.
The hallway leading to the arena is dimly lit.
The man in the official robe of the Rite Domain and Nangong Zheng were hidden in the dark, although the former was trying his best to lower his voice, his threatening words still vaguely floated into Huo Xu's ears:
"Lord Zhengqing······ Escort His Majesty out of the customs is imminent······ You have to think about it, if you are stubborn, you will bear the consequences! ”
The man brushed his sleeves away, and Nangong Zhengtie returned to the three competitors with a blushing face.
Although his face was ugly, Nangong Zheng's attention quickly jumped out of the bad experience of unexpectedly encountering unhappiness.
Half an hour ago, he was ordered by Her Royal Highness the Empress to temporarily serve as the leader of the Imperial Youth Fighting Team, and he was a little unexpected.
What is the motive of the queen's move, to appease or entrap?
With these questions floating in his heart, Nangong Zheng's eyes hurriedly swept to the top of the venue, where the light of nearly a hundred amethyst lamps still could not drive away the darkness under the ceiling.
There was more than one heavy coercion, and from the dark grid, Nangong Zheng faintly sensed the existence of several mysterious primordial masters, first slightly startled, and then smiled faintly.
There are many prominent figures in the museum, and the Nangong family does not need and cannot be responsible for the safety of every dignitary, since the queen and Princess Mei Xin can sit and talk happily, even if their subordinates are strong and hidden in the shadows, how can they not know the truth of peace and quiet?
Nangong Zheng finally retracted his thoughts and glanced at the three teenagers beside him.
Tie Shan and Mu Sen have long broken off their friendship, and the two of them are standing beside Huo Xu on the left and right, looking sideways at Huo Xu from time to time, and their eyes are full of hints of "seeking reconciliation".
Huo Xu didn't bother to pay attention to them, and smiled at Uncle Zheng, and his eyes immediately moved to the audience.
Hiding in the light and looking at it at will, you can see all the familiar and unfamiliar faces, but you can not be noticed by others, this feeling······ Sour!
After internal renovation, the Nangong Youth Arena can now accommodate nearly 10,000 spectators.
On the left and right sides of the original private room on the second floor, a private room was added.
In the box in the middle, the queen was dressed in a gorgeous gown, sitting gracefully, and only Grace rose stood by her side.
In the left box, Princess Mei Xin no longer covered it with a sparse curtain, but opened the door and appeared in full costume.
In the right box, the Minister of State, Moss, the Zongren Mansion Zongzheng Gulin Mangyu, and the deacon of the Royal Martial Arts Mansion, Gu Lin Haoshu, sat side by side, and the three of them were talking in a low voice.
Huo Xu's gaze lingered on the queen's face for a few breaths, and his mind was full of thoughts.
Emperor Kangjing is still in retreat, the queen is in charge of the country, during this period Luofei City is still calm, but it will not be long before the emperor comes out of the customs, Gulin Haobo, who is in charge of guarding the customs, will return to the powerful and prominent figures of the empire.
The timing of the detention, the rectification of the palace office, the reduction of the power of the court and the power of the clan, the queen did not say hello and applied thunderbolts, this change must eventually withstand a belated counterattack from a certain interlocutor.
God knows what kind of storm and waves will be set off in Lofe City!
And at this moment, Gu Lin Mangyu here has a proud face, Gu Lin Haoshu looks resolute, the positions of these two royal dignitaries are clear and simple, and they will surely become the two pillars of the emperor and the queen to stabilize the political situation.
Prime Minister Moss is still suave and elegant, with little meaning in his eyes, and no one can peek into the deep heart of gravity under his calm appearance.
"The choice of cameras in the future Prime Minister's Mansion may be the most difficult variable to control that affects the political situation of the empire, alas!"
With a secret sigh, Huo Xu's gaze turned to Princess Mei Xin.
No matter what kind of occasion this young exotic woman is in the empire, she always behaves elegantly, talks and laughs freely, and takes the initiative to initiate and finalize today's competition, almost willingly serving as a "hostage" in the imperial capital for more than forty days.
There must be a demon when things go wrong, what do the people of Beihai want?
And with Princess Mei Xin's long stay in Lofe City, the rebellion in Rock County and Voran County was finally thunder and rain, and the heavy news of the independent establishment of the two counties has not been reported for a long time.
Is there an inevitable connection between the restraint of the two counties and Princess Mei Xin's visit?
Of course, these complex strategies were not something for Huo Xu to consider, and he was interested in how long the calm before the storm could last.
Once the fragile balance is broken, the entire Xihe continent will inevitably be fragmented in a bloody storm.
The turmoil of the palace is bound to bring endless suffering to all people, but it is not a golden opportunity for those with different ambitions.
With the strength of the good wind, send me to the clouds!
The audience downstairs was full.
The front low-seat area is still occupied by those Yuan Shao who frequent this place, and there are scattered teaching representatives and top Yuan Shao selected by the Yuan Shao Yuan Yuan in the capital.
In the high seat area at the back, the middle position was full of royal families, officials and powerhouses from other counties from afar, and the powerhouses of the local sects in Luofei City consciously sat aside, and the familiar faces of the five major sects such as the Beiming Sect were gone.
Adult gamblers were squeezed into the corners.
Scanning the audience, Huo Xu's eyes deliberately fished out Tie Long and Mu Hua from the crowd.
The two are far apart, but their expressions are quite similar, and the expression between their eyebrows and eyes has a hint of "father is more expensive than son", and there is a bit of unpredictable prospect of competition, like panic on the edge of the abyss.
Huo Xu scoffed at it.
When the storm sweeps, they can only be regarded as two handfuls of mud and sand or two drifting leaves in the rolling tide, and they cannot live or die by themselves······
The contestants on both sides have not yet appeared, but at this moment, what has attracted much attention in the field are four young men and two women with good looks.
When Nangong Dai'er, Night Rain North, Jing Han, and Void sat down in the low seat area, they attracted countless pairs of attention, and even the queen and Princess Mei Xin did not hesitate to exhaust their eyes and look at the appearance of the four of them.
When her eyes touched Nangong Dai'er, Hulan Xuechan's heart couldn't help but be shocked, the girl's ethereal aura seemed to have cleared out the hustle and bustle of the world.
No wonder the royal boy Gu Lin Hanyu lost his temper in public!
It is not difficult for the queen to find out that Nangong Dai'er, who is dressed in a white dress, is already a strong third-stage yuanshi, and has just turned sixteen years old and has entered the ranks of quasi-fourth-stage yuanshi.
There are also the three young boys and girls of Xuanji Pavilion, Night Rain North, Jing Han, and Void, all three of them are not vulgar, as high-level Yuanshi who are about seventeen years old, they are enough to look down on the top people of the same age group of the royal family.
The Empress had mixed feelings in her heart, and she didn't know whether to be proud of these four extraordinary imperial teenagers, or to feel lonely because the imperial reserve force was overshadowed.
"Ugh."
With a light sigh, Hulan Xuechan quietly looked at the aisle at the front of the venue.
There is a younger genius there, although he is not a royal boy like Ye Yubei and others, but in the heart of Hulan Xuechan, he is full of infinite expectations for his shining debut.
The queen can't see Huo Xu, but Huo Xu can see the queen, but the latter doesn't care if the dignitaries in the box pay attention to his presence.
Directly opposite, there was also a dimly lit aisle, and the shadows of two men and one woman appeared in his line of sight.
Following Huo Xu's line of sight, Mu Sen finally paid attention to the rival opponent, looking at the three looming figures from a distance, he was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on his head, and muttered:
"Master Nangong, I want to go to the toilet."
Nangong Zheng squinted at Mu Sen for a long time, and snorted reluctantly: "Hold it!" ”
Touching the cold sweat on his forehead, Mu Sen suddenly stared at the petite girl's figure, his eyes rolled, and the tension gradually faded.
That's right, today's opponent is her!
Tie Shan's mental quality was okay, but he also stared at the girl as if a hunter had locked on his prey.
Huo Xu didn't have a choice, the opponent had already been decided, a fourth-stage Yuanshi, as for which of the two teenagers over there, he couldn't identify it for the time being.
"Ladies and gentlemen, after more than 40 days of waiting, the exciting moment has finally arrived!
The first contestants of both sides are invited to take the stage! ”
After pouring a lot of nonsense and reels into the official robe, the host finally got to the point: "The player in the first competition in Beihai Country is the ninth-level Yuan Shao Ren Coco, who has just turned thirteen!" ”
To the beat of the slow drums, the green-robed girl stepped out of the dark part of the aisle, and the sudden spotlight shone down a beam of light, covering her petite body.
Under the bright light, she walked like a weak willow supporting the wind, laughing heartlessly, smiling so that her eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, looking harmless to humans and animals, and she looked younger than her actual age.
Staring intently at Ren Keke, Mu Sen grinned, wielding the last trace of fear left in his heart.
"The first contestant from the Xihe Empire is ······"
The host of the official robe had a stuck brain, and he only remembered the name "Huo Xu", but he forgot who the other two people were.
He raised a small card in his hand and glanced at it closer, on which was the name of his first competitor: Iron Mountain.
"I, Mu Sen!"
Mu Senfei rushed to the arena in general, and the spotlight couldn't catch up with him at all.
The iron mountain pestle was in place, gritting his teeth vigorously.
In the box, Grey Rose looked stunned, she never expected that Mu Sen, who has always owed taxes in IQ, would be able to react so quickly on the spot, and successfully change the order of appearance, resulting in an irretrievable fait accompli.
And the nominal leader Nangong Zheng actually didn't stop this!
Anyway, although it is said that the odds of winning are slightly higher for Tieshan against Ren Keke, and the middle horse against the dismount, the odds of winning on paper are meaningless, and in Grey Rose's view, no matter who plays against Ren Keke, there is no possibility of winning.
She nodded helplessly to the host.
"Mu Sen!"
When the host's thunderous voice fell, the low seat area was already booing.
