After the crown ceremony is completed, according to the procedure, Kong Ming should have met the elders in the family one by one.\\ However, Kong Ming has the identity of an elder of the Confucian family, in the world of cultivators, the so-called order of the eldest and youngest is not based on blood relationship, but on each other's cultivation realm and status!

Except for Kong Jun, who is Kong Ming's biological father, the rest of the people who can receive Kong Ming's gift are only members of the Council of Elders, and the rest of the people are not qualified. Moreover, in addition to being the elder of the Kong family, Kong Ming is also a descendant disciple of the three ancestors of the Kong family, which makes others only dare to accept the gift of a brother when accepting Kong Ming's salute!

As long as the ancestors of the Kong family did not show up, no one present dared to face Kong Ming as an uncle or uncle.

Just as Kong Ming was saluting the elders of the Confucian family, suddenly a subordinate hurriedly came over and said something in Kong Fanshu's ear.

This subordinate is a Confucian steward who follows Kong Fanshu, although he is not a descendant of the Kong family, but he is very shrewd, and even many major affairs in the court and politics, Kong Fanshu will entrust him to deal with them.

Today's coming-of-age ceremony, non-Confucian family members cannot participate, and this steward is not qualified to attend. However, if something really happens, he can still come in directly without passing on the communication, and report to Kong Fanshu, the head of the family, as soon as possible.

After listening to the steward's words, Kong Fanshu's face smiled slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, and announced with a smile: "Everyone, today is Elder Kong Ming's coming-of-age ceremony, although we have not planned to make a big deal according to Elder Kong Ming's request, but the Hu clan still expressed concern for Elder Kong Ming. Now, on behalf of the royal family, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come to congratulate him in person!"

The Royal Highness of the Crown Prince in Kong Fanshu's mouth naturally refers to Hu Hao, the third prince who has been established as the prince. Kong Ming held a fourteenth birthday banquet two years ago, so his sixteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony was that day, and he couldn't hide it from someone who had a heart!

For example, the Hu royal family sent the crown prince Hu Hao to congratulate him in person, which shows how much the royal family values Kong Ming!

Kong Ming wanted to keep a low profile. But his talent has long been known by the major forces, for such an incredible genius, how can the major forces not pay attention to it?

Kong Ming's coming-of-age ceremony was not announced to the public. Obviously, he wants to keep a low profile, but for the Hu royal family, if he doesn't join in such a lively scene. Doesn't it mean that their control of the imperial capital is too poor?

What's more, Hu Hao came to congratulate him in person, also to make friends with Kong Ming! And a talent like Kong Ming is indeed worthy of the dignified His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come in person.

Since Hu Hao has come uninvited, the Kong family naturally can't lose their manners, at least it is impossible to give His Royal Highness the crown prince a closed door. So, Kong Fanshu, Kong Jun, Kong Ming, and the elders of the Kong family went out together to welcome the door of the Kong family's manor.

This time, Hu Hao came to congratulate Kong Ming on his coming-of-age ceremony, and in order to show his courtesy corporal, he did not put on too much of a guard of honor. In addition to the necessary guards, there were only gifts filled with two carts.

The origin of this gift is not small, it is a gift from the current Emperor Hu De, and giving so much in one breath is enough to prove Kong Ming's status in the hearts of the Hu royal family!

saw many leading figures of the Kong family come out. Hu Hao naturally didn't put on the slightest shelf, but took the initiative to greet him with a smile on his face, looked at Kong Ming from a distance and said with a smile: "Brother Kong Ming, this is yours." I think we also had the fate of drinking at the same table at the beginning, and this king thought that in your mind Brother Kong Ming, there was a friend of this king! Who knew when you held a coming-of-age ceremony. It's really strange not to notify this king even a word!"

Kong Ming bowed to Hu Hao and said politely: "It is an honor for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come to congratulate him in person. In fact, today's coming-of-age ceremony is just to respect the tradition, and I didn't think about making a big deal, except for the relatives in the family, I didn't invite any outsiders, and I definitely didn't have the slightest disrespect for His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Hu Hao smiled and said, "This king came uninvited, it should be that this king is embarrassed, and Brother Kong Ming doesn't need to be polite." Today, this king is your guest and friend, not His Royal Highness the Prince, wouldn't it be nice for you and my brothers to have a relationship!"

Kong Ming smiled slightly, and did not answer Hu Hao directly, but stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture. So, everyone surrounded Hu Hao and returned to the courtyard where the coming-of-age ceremony was held.

The coming-of-age ceremony has been completed, and the next thing is naturally the wine banquet. Hu Hao, as the only outsider and distinguished guest, naturally sat in the chief, while Kong Ming accompanied him in the main seat. As for the other people who can sit at this table, except for Kong Jun, all of them are the leaders of the Kong family!

Hu Hao was originally an eight-sided and exquisite character, although he was the only outsider during the banquet, he did not have any sense of restraint, and it was not lively to call Kong Ming a brother. When the wine was hot, Hu Hao suddenly patted Kong Ming's shoulder and said, "Brother Kong Ming, according to the tradition of the cultivation world, all cultivators who have reached the age of sixteen must go out for trials before they can be considered to have completed all the steps of the coming-of-age ceremony. I wonder what Brother Kong Ming has plans for this trial journey?"

Cultivators who have held a coming-of-age ceremony have, according to tradition, indeed go out to participate in trials. However, a cultivator who has just turned sixteen years old, how much strength can he have, and if he can enter the Yuanshi realm, he can be regarded as having good qualifications. Therefore, the so-called adult trial, at most, is to go to the mountains and mountains that are not too far away, and even if the trial is completed, the meaning of going through the motions is deeper.

The vast majority of people don't take this kind of adult trial as one thing, and what everyone values more is the past trial of cultivation to reach the bottleneck, or to prepare for the impact of the next realm!

Although he had just reached the age of sixteen, his cultivation had already reached the pinnacle level of a middle-level general, and if his adult trials were to go out casually like running a family and drinking wine, it would be a bit of a child's play!

If you really want to be more serious, with Kong Ming's current cultivation, it is completely possible to treat the so-called adult trial as a trial of the past generations.

Before the coming-of-age ceremony, Kong Ming had already considered this, but now that he raised this question from Hu Hao's mouth, he really didn't know what his intentions were?

But what kind of character is Kong Ming? Even if he was puzzled, he didn't have any special expression on his face, but asked Hu Hao with a smile: "I don't know if His Royal Highness the Prince of Lu Dao has anything to point out?"

At this time, Hu Hao's expression froze, and he said with a straight face: "If Brother Kong Ming really wants to go through a trial with some substantial significance, there is indeed a place worth visiting!"

Kong Ming smiled: "Please advise!"

Hu Hao said word by word: "Out of the clouds-county!!"

As soon as Hu Hao's words came out, Kong Ming's expression still didn't change, and he still smiled and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you won't be giving Zaimo a problem, right?" Although you have been in retreat for a long time, you also know that something is not quite right in Shazhou recently, and Izumo County is afraid that Izumo County will not be stable, right?"

Hu Hao shook his head and said: "If you only want to be stable, how can you try it? Hu Xiong, the second brother of this king, the adult trial is to go to the front line of Izumo County to serve in the army, starting from a small soldier, and finally accumulating merit and becoming a general. As for this king, the adult trial is to go to Haizhou, and it is not until a map of the sea territory is drawn that the test can be regarded as completed! The talent of the Kong Ming brothers is far better than that of this king and the second emperor brother, and the Izumo County is used as a place of trial, for the Kong Ming brothers, is there any difficulty that cannot be achieved?"

Kong Ming smiled slightly and said, "Several His Highnesses are all eloquent and strategic, so naturally they are able to do what others cannot! As for the mere subordinates, except for being more interested in the way of cultivation, they really don't care much about other things. Instead of going out and traveling around, it is better to concentrate on retreat to seek a breakthrough, I wonder if His Royal Highness the Prince of Lu Dao thinks so?"

Hu Hao's eyes widened, staring at Kong Ming firmly, and said: "Brother Kong Ming, if you just retreat and practice penance all day long, it will really be a great loss for our Cangnan Empire!

Speaking of this, Hu Hao took out a bright yellow scroll from his arms and put it in front of Kong Ming.

Although the Kong family is the top wealthy family of the Cangnan Empire, and Kong Ming is also an extraordinary figure, they are still the courtiers of the fourth emperor of Cangnan in terms of fame, and when they see the holy decree, they naturally want to make a big gift to receive the decree.

Now Hu Hao suddenly took out a holy decree, Kong Ming could only get up, and was about to salute to receive the decree, but Hu Hao stretched out his hand to support Kong Ming, and said: "Father's edict, this holy decree does not need to kneel to receive it, and the Kong Ming brothers can watch it by themselves." Even if you don't want to act according to the will in the holy decree, it is not considered to be disobeying, you only need to return the holy decree as it is, and the king can return to the palace to resume his life. ”

Hearing Hu Hao say this, Kong Ming also felt a little weird, because Emperor Hood issued such a holy decree, which was really too lenient, even close to child's play!

Even if he did not obey the holy decree, he only needed to return the holy decree as it was, and nothing would happen? Was Emperor Hood not afraid that after doing so, he would let the royal majesty be swept to the ground? Or was Emperor Hood confident that Kong Ming would definitely act according to the will of the holy decree after reading this holy decree?

Anyway, Kong Ming was really interested in such a holy decree, so he stretched out his hand and held the holy decree in his hand, and unfolded it!
