At the beginning of the sun, a round of the sun slowly rises on the horizon, which also makes the city that has been silent for a long time become lively.

"Phew!"

"Phew!"

When the giant bell in Yanjing City rang seven times, everyone realized that the Ascending Banquet had begun.

This is also the custom, the heavenly banquet is held, and the bell rings seven times.

As for the nine ringing of the bell, it will only happen at the funeral of the Son of Heaven and the enthronement of the new emperor.

For a while, all the people in the streets and alleys were rushing towards the direction where the Ascending Heaven Pavilion was located.

There is no specific quota for the "Ascending Banquet", let alone nationality, except for the Golden Horde, anyone can participate.

If you can perform well at the Ascension Banquet, you can be recruited by the imperial court and receive rich rewards at the Ascension Banquet.

Although many people on the rivers and lakes scolded the court eagle dogs, for many people who have no sect and no faction, when there is really an opportunity to join the court and even make a name for themselves in one fell swoop, they will definitely not miss it.

Even many big factions on the rivers and lakes will send people to come.

That's why all parties are sending in for the review.

Maybe there will be one or two talented people who don't want to miss out.

At this time, on the open space in front of the Ascending Pavilion, huge rings had already been erected, and there were more than a dozen of them.

As for the people of all forces, they have already been invited into the Heavenly Pavilion.

At the top of the Ascending Heaven Banquet were the royal family of Yan Kingdom and the envoys of various countries, as well as people from all the major forces in the rivers and lakes.

As for the slightly worse ones, they can only be on the floor below the Ascending Attic, in turn.

These people are invited by invitation, and they can participate as well.

The people of the Golden Horde sat aside, but their faces were extremely gloomy.

The people of their mission were assassinated, and they knew who the murderer was, but they still pretended not to know.

On the Heavenly Pavilion, people from all sides came one after another.

The princes who have lived in the capital for a long time, and the princes who often do not show up, also rushed here at this moment.

These princes also intend to recruit outstanding talents at the Heavenly Banquet.

Xia Xingyi strode over, following the elders of the Shushan Sword Sect by his side.

Regarding the Shushan Sword Sect's support for him, Xia Xingyi did not have the slightest intention of concealing it.

This is also showing his strength to the outside world.

Relying on only one Shushan Sword Sect may not be able to determine the position of the crown prince in the future, but this undoubtedly greatly increases his bargaining chips.

With one of the five swords, the Shushan Sword Sect, as a card, Xia Xingyi has attracted a lot of people from the rivers and lakes.

Although the Jianghu sect and the imperial court are opposites, in the face of huge interests, the so-called antagonism naturally does not exist.

Seeing Xia Xingyi coming, everyone bowed their hands one after another.

"I've seen the second prince!"

Xia Xingyi just bowed slightly, then sat down in his own position, his eyes slowly glanced around, and then closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

After a while, the sound of saluting was heard all around.

Xia Xingyi's eyes widened slightly, and in front of him, there was already a person standing, and he smiled and said, "Second brother!" ”

The person who came was the third prince Xia Xingye.

The corners of Xia Xingyi's mouth raised slightly, revealing a hint of a playful smile, and said lightly: "Third child, I heard that your Wanhua Pavilion was smashed?" ”

The people around were suddenly embarrassed.

This one really deliberately slapped the third prince in the face.

The smile on Xia Xingye's face froze, his tone lightened a little, and he said calmly: "I don't have to worry about this matter for the second brother." ”

Xia Xingyi had a teasing smile on his face, and glanced at Xia Xingye playfully.

Although he hated Shen Du very much, he felt that Shen Du had done the right thing and was very much in line with his heart.

Xia Xingye didn't say anything more, just walked to the seat next to him with a cold face and sat down.

At this time, a childish voice suddenly came from outside.

"This year's Ascending Banquet seems to be even more lively!"

As the voice fell, a merry boy-like figure walked in from outside.

The person who came looked to be only about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in white, which set off him extremely handsome.

Everyone saluted: "I've seen the Nine Emperor Princes!" ”

Xia Xingye and Xia Xingyi also turned their heads to look at the past.

For this Lao Jiu, they also don't like it!

Relying on their youngest, and being favored by the queen, they often enter the palace, and they seem to be the youngest, but they know very well that their ninth brother is far from being as harmless as he seems.

There is no shortage of scheming city mansions at all.

In the face of everyone's salutes, Xia Xingwen also returned the salute one by one very respectfully.

Xia Xingwen smiled with a smile on his face, walked forward quickly, and saluted respectfully: "I've seen two imperial brothers!" ”

Xia Xingye smiled and nodded: "The ninth brother came quite early today. ”

No matter how dislike they are in their hearts, in front of outsiders, they will still be a "brother, friend and brother" image.

Xia Xingwen shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Prince has an order, how dare Xingwen slack off." ”

The second prince, Xia Xingyi, swept Xia Xingwen and withdrew his gaze.

Originally, it was enough to send someone to come for this kind of thing, but who knows what the sick man thinks, so he has to let all of them come.

Not long after Xia Xingwen arrived, the rest of the princes also came one after another.

However, the fifth prince did not come, as early as some time ago, he left the capital, which everyone knows.

For these princes, they wish that the five princes would never come back after leaving Beijing, which means that they have one less competitive opponent.

Although the prince's physical condition has been concealed, they don't know that he can't last long.

Once the crown prince is sick, the position of the prison country will inevitably fall on a certain prince.

Among the crowds, the most promising are the second prince Xia Xingyi and the third prince Xia Xingye.

The reason why they hate the Nine Emperor Princes is because the Empress will be a variable.

The current queen is not the biological mother of the crown prince, but was later selected by Emperor Yan from among the concubines and is responsible for the affairs of the harem.

In history, it is not without examples of queens hearing about the government.

After waiting for a long time, a person walked slowly under the stairs of the Heavenly Pavilion, dressed in a black gown, extremely luxurious, with a majestic aura hidden around his body.

He was accompanied by several eunuchs, one of whom was Lu Chengen.

Seeing the comer, everyone stood up and saluted: "I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Xia Jingyi smiled slightly, and said softly: "Sit down, this is not a court, don't be restrained." ”

As he spoke, he slowly walked to the forefront.

Everyone looked at Xia Jingyi with different colors.

In previous years, the prince rarely participated in the heavenly banquet, but this time he actually came forward in person.

At this time, Shen Du below also walked on the high platform.

Shen Du, as one of the persons in charge of the "Ascending Banquet", is also responsible for the hosting of the Ascending Banquet.

Such a grand event related to the rivers and lakes, the Ministry of Rites is not suitable, in previous years, it was presided over by the people of the six doors, but this time the prince appointed Shen Du, and there was naturally no such place in the six doors.

You must know that being able to host the Ascension Banquet is not a bad thing, but a thing that can make a name for itself.

It's a qualification too!

Shen Du walked up to the high platform and said in a deep voice: "Thank you all the heroes of the world for coming to participate in my Dayan's ascension banquet, everyone knows the rules, but this time there have been some changes." ”

"The rules of this ascension banquet competition, whoever gets on the ring will be counted by the number of times he defends it!"

"For those who can survive three games, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already prepared a rich gift."

"If you survive five games, the reward will triple again!"

"If you can survive ten games, you can enter the top floor of the Heavenly Banquet, in addition to the reward, the imperial court will meet one of your requirements within the scope of its ability."

"The challenger must not be higher than the defender."

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar and there were many discussions.

This is much different from the rules of the Ascension Banquet in previous years.

In previous years, people on the human list were basically challenging each other, and it was also through this event that the ranking of the people list was re-established.

Many people with lower realms will not even have the opportunity to come to power.

Those who dare to go to the ring will naturally not be simple people, if they want to survive three rounds, there may be many people who can do it, but if they want to last more than five rounds, it is more difficult.

Because even if you succeed in the challenge, you still need to persist for more than five rounds, and nothing will change because of the success of the challenge.

This kind of wheel warfare, if you don't have a deep foundation and true qi foundation, you can't persist at all.

As for the ten rounders, I'm afraid I can't find a few.

Only the monsters at the top of the list can, and this also has a huge risk.

By the time it reaches the fourth round, if there is a stronger person, all the efforts will undoubtedly be in vain.

However, in this way, even those with a slightly lower realm will have a chance to get rewards.

At this moment, on the Ascending Pavilion, all the people watching the ceremony were also discussing this matter.

This rule was completely unexpected.

Because in this way, many people's plans have undoubtedly failed.

In previous years, many rewards had already been secretly booked.

Someone subconsciously looked at the crown prince Xia Jingyi, and saw that his face was calm, and immediately understood that this was agreed by the prince a long time ago.

Xia Jingyi did already know, which was one of the reasons why he wanted Shen Du to be responsible in the first place.

Shen Du clapped his hands, and a group of eunuchs immediately came in the audience with trays in their hands, and on them was the reward for this heavenly banquet.

Shaolin's treasured Da Huandan!

A rare medicine!

Protective chain mail!

All kinds of precious elixirs.

One of them, in particular, made everyone's hearts throb and their eyes burned.

Divine Soldiers!

It was a longsword that was all fiery red, and the hilt of the sword was inlaid with a blood-red gem.

Everyone knows very well how much a good divine weapon can help the warrior himself.

The reason why the Ascending Heaven Banquet can attract countless people every time is because of the rich rewards given by Yan Guo.

Divine skills, divine soldiers, as long as you have the ability, you can get it.

It's just that this time the rules have changed, and if you want to get a magic weapon, I'm afraid it's even more difficult.

Different from everyone, on the top of the Heavenly Pavilion, the Shaolin monks who were invited to come were slightly downcast when they saw the sword on the stage.

- Bloodthirsty Sword!

It is indeed a divine weapon, but it is also an ominous soldier.

This sword was originally suppressed in the temple of Shaolin, and Emperor Yan took it away and became a royal treasure.

Now that they see the bloodthirsty sword again, the people of Shaolin are naturally depressed.

In the whole world, there are very few people who dare to snatch things from Shaolin.

That Emperor Yan was the first!

Even if Shaolin does not use such evil soldiers, they have long thought that this is a Shaolin thing, and it was snatched away, how can they be willing?

Shen Du looked around, then stepped down the high platform and walked towards the skyscraper.

As for the next trivial matters, it will be the responsibility of the East Palace.

With the ringing of a bell, it also means that this long-awaited event has been officially held!

Sorry.,It's late to update.,This garbage class is a bit of a waste of time.,There's two days left.,It's over.,It's over.,10,000 a day.,Add more on this basis.。
