Facing the light of the morning sun, Zhou Heng, Cheng Jiangjian, and Zhu Zhenzhen came to the gate of the palace, and saw this huge guard of honor from a distance.

A large number of people have gathered on both sides of the street, many of whom want to see who the participants of this Chaoyang drinking party are, or want to see if the person they worship has participated in this Chaoyang drinking party.

For the people of the Great Qi Imperial City, as long as a warrior can participate in the Chaoyang Cocktail Party, it is a great honor, fighting for the country's fame and reputation, worthy of respect and respect.

Therefore, when Zhou Heng and the others walked on the avenue of honor, the surrounding cheers suddenly sounded like a tsunami.

Cheer them on.

Celebrate and bless them.

Such a warm scene was something that Zhou Heng and the other three did not expect that in such a wave of shouts and blessings, ordinary people would be immediately aroused by their inner sense of mission and honor, and then they might be desperate for honor.

Even if they are strong-willed people like Zhou Heng and Cheng Jiangjian, they are not affected by these cheers, and they can't help but feel a little emotional, this Chaoyang Drinking Party is extremely important to the people of the Imperial City.

As for Zhu Zhenzhen, the little girl, who was praised by these words, her face was flushed, her eyes were shining, her eyes were blazing, her little fists were clenched tightly, and she thought that she must achieve a dazzling result this time, and she must not let these people who are looking forward to her down.

However, not long after they walked on this avenue of honor, there was another wave behind them, some of them were cheering, and some were even crying excitedly.

This is another group of people who are coming, they are all people who are going to participate in the Chaoyang Cocktail Party with Zhou Heng.

Cui Guanlan is among them.

In addition, there are also "Buddha's Wrath" Chengzhi, "Sanhua Boy" Chen An, and a young man named Cui Zhengqian, also from Fengzhou Cui's family.

It is said that he is Cui Guanlan's uncle, although his seniority is not low, but his age is just over twenty, so he took an invitation to the Chaoyang cocktail party from Cui Tianhe.

These four people, plus Zhou Heng, are all that this honor guard has to welcome.

There are three other people, who are the quota of the royal family itself, and they are already in the palace, so naturally there is no need to welcome them.

These three people are: Zhao Wei, the son of King Shou, Lin Xianyu, the nephew of the crown princess, and Ye Lingfeng, the martial champion last year.

"Son of King Shou. ”

Zhou Heng flickered with thoughts in his heart, but he remained silent on the surface, and suddenly his eyebrows rose slightly, and he vaguely seemed to sense some subtle evil aura.

This aura was very strange but also very secretive, only flashing in his perception for a moment, and even made him wonder if he had a delusion.

"Could it be that I perceived it wrong?" Zhou Heng was shocked in his heart, he had always been very confident in his perception, but it was just the perception of that moment just now that he was not sure.

"Even if there are really evil things or even evil spirits, you shouldn't dare to act rashly, after all, this is the Great Qi Imperial City, and there are emperors and peerless divine soldiers who are gods.

"Well, though, I'd better be wary. ”

At the same time, he reminded Cheng Jiangjian and Zhu Zhenzhen to be vigilant, and if there is anything bad, they will save their lives and flee immediately.

Although the two of them wondered why Zhou Heng suddenly said this, could it be that Shouwang really dared to kill him? But they also knew that now was not the time to ask in detail, and they both believed Zhou Heng, so they all raised their vigilance again.

......

The Great Qi Imperial Palace is huge, and there are many palaces.

However, the most eye-catching of them is the Qianyang Palace that can be seen as soon as you enter the middle gate, which is magnificent and breathtaking.

This is the place where the emperor of Great Qi usually went to the court to deal with government affairs.

It is also the heart of the entire palace.

The venue of the Chaoyang cocktail party is in a palace called 'Shenguang Temple' next to Qianyang Palace.

Although the size of this palace is smaller than that of the Qianyang Palace, the overall brilliance is more vivid, more vibrant, and the location is also a little inferior to the Qianyang Palace, which can be said to be a palace with a very high character.

Normally, the temple of light is only used when the royal family holds a very grand ceremony or banquet.

It can be seen that Daqi attaches great importance to the Chaoyang Cocktail Party.

Zhou Heng and the others sat down one by one as Cao Man, the palace foreign affairs director who came to greet them, walked into the Shenguang Temple.

At this time, people were already seated on the high platform in the hall and on some seats.

However, Zhou Heng didn't know him.

After the people arrived, with the introduction of Wei Chang, the head of foreign affairs of the palace, Zhou Heng recognized who these people were.

Presiding over the entire Chaoyang cocktail party is the prince of Daqi, that is, the eldest son of the emperor of Daqi, Zhao Zhen, who has been a prince for three thousand years since the establishment of Daqi.

The crown princess accompanied Zhao Zhen, both of whom looked serious and did not smile.

And sitting with Zhao Zhen, the crown prince, is Zhao Qin, the sixteenth prince, Shouwang, compared to Zhao Zhen's seriousness, he is much more casual, and he is not even sitting very upright, and his eyes are constantly sweeping around people's bodies.

This is the party where the royal family presides over the reception.

The seats under the high platform are divided into two columns to sit opposite, one of which is the seat of ten people on the side of Daqi, that is, the seat of Zhou Heng and others, and opposite them, there are six people from the Southern Jin Dynasty.

Although there were only three people from the Southern Jin Dynasty who came to officially participate in the Chaoyang Cocktail Party this time, the forces from which they came from also sent guards to protect their safety.

So there were six people.

There is a dragon and tiger list in the Southern Jin Dynasty, and the three people who came to participate in the Chaoyang cocktail party this time are the top three.

In addition to Zhou Yin, who Zhou Heng had already seen before, there was also Tianyizi from Taixuguan, and Tang Kaiyun from the Southern Jin Dynasty.

Zhou Yin doesn't need to say much, the divine reincarnation is quite miraculous.

Tianyizi is known as a natural immortal, born to control the vitality of heaven and earth, and has no teacher to understand the Tao of epiphany, which can be called a genius of heaven.

Although Tianyizi is still only a cultivator at the peak of the seventh grade, his power in controlling the vitality of heaven and earth is extremely strong, and he is already infinitely close to the real secret sixth grade.

Tang Kaiyun was the youngest son of the emperor of the Southern Jin Dynasty, ranking thirty-six.

Compared with Zhou Yin and Tianyizi, he is a relatively "ordinary" one, but his qualifications are earth-shattering, practicing martial arts at the age of seven, and peaking at the age of eight.

However, after the peak of the seventh grade, he did not make a breakthrough, but spent the next ten years rebuilding the peak on the peak of the seventh rank again and again.

Now, although Tang Kaiyun is still at the peak of the seventh grade, and even through the means of controlling the vitality of heaven and earth through the internal and external appearance, the amount of internal qi in his body is already tens of thousands of times that of the peak of the ordinary seventh grade.

Therefore, when fighting, he didn't need to use any means to control the vitality of heaven and earth, and he could suppress the other masters of the seventh-rank peak in an all-round way with only his huge internal qi.

None of the three were easy to match.

It's no wonder that this time the Chaoyang Cocktail Party Nanjin dared to send only these three people over, these three people are already very vigilant just because of their own peculiarities.

When Zhou Heng was looking at Zhou Yin and the others, the three people from the Southern Jin Dynasty were also looking at them.

Especially Zhou Heng and Fang Wen.

Although, when Wei Chang introduced it, the general introduction of Zhou Heng and others was relatively brief, but after all, the latest issue of the list has just come out, and the description of Zhou Heng and others is very clear.

While!

The bell rang, which means that the Chaoyang cocktail party has officially begun.

Zhao Zhen stood up from the high platform, he was wearing a brocade robe and a jade belt, he was a middle-aged man who looked about forty years old, with a square face, eyes like gods, and he was not angry and arrogant.

"All of you, all of you are the best in the world, and now you are gathered here, and you should have a good wine. ”

As soon as his words fell, he saw that the void in the palace suddenly distorted slightly, and a white jade cup appeared out of thin air in front of everyone's table, and inside was a fragrant emerald wine.

"The name of the wine is Vientiane wine. Wei Chang's shrill voice said highly, "This is the first trial of the Chaoyang Cocktail Party, using this wine as a guide to manifest the interior scenery and divide the superiority into inferiority." ”

"You eunuch speaks indistinctly. Zhao Qin suddenly spoke, he straightened his sitting posture slightly, and said to everyone in the audience: "This cup of Vientiane is not for you to drink, and the thirteen cups of Vientiane wine have built a special environment."

"In this environment, your immature interior can clearly manifest the scene, manifest the Dharma, and compete to distinguish the superior and the weak. ”

His Royal Highness Xie helped the servant explain. Wei Chang saluted respectfully, and smiled at everyone: "It's just like what His Highness the Sixteenth said, all the handsome men understand?"

"This is different from the sunrise reception in previous years. Cheng Jiangjian sent a message to Zhou Heng and said: "In previous years, it was to taste the wine first, and then watch a song and dance, and then enter the competition stage between the two sides. ”

"It's a bit weird indeed. Zhou Heng also frowned slightly, he had learned from Yan Shouyi about the process of the Chaoyang Cocktail Party in the past year, and there had never been a time when the cocktail party had started directly to compete.

And the previous competitions all started with head-to-head competitions.

This time, I actually had to test the strength of the interior scene.

And before the reception began, there was no news of any change in the process, which was a bit strange.

Not only Zhou Heng and Cheng Jiangjian were puzzled, but the rest of the people on Daqi's side also looked puzzled.

Apparently none of them expected this change.

"Why do you have to change the flow of the reception all of a sudden?"

A handsome boy in Tsing Yi who looked to be only seven or eight years old opened his mouth to ask, he was the "Sanhua Boy" Chen An, the third on the list today, and he was the true disciple of the Qingdi Palace.

"This is the request of the Southern Jin Dynasty royal family, and the palace agreed. Zhao Zhen said lightly: "Besides, there have been changes in the rules of the Chaoyang Cocktail Party in previous years, so there is no need to be surprised." ”

"You agreed?" Zhou Heng raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "What if you agree?"

This high-minded attitude of the Great Qi Prince made him dissatisfied, and at the same time, this sudden change made him, who was already vigilant, rise sharply, and now he directly spoke against it, which was a good opportunity to get out and leave.

That's right, he doesn't plan to continue to participate in this sunrise reception.

"Huh?" Zhao Zhen heard this, looked at Zhou Heng with calm and indifferent eyes, and said: "The Chaoyang Cocktail Party is presided over by the palace, and the palace has agreed to the request of the Southern Jin royal family, so it can naturally change the previous rules." ”

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we are here by invitation, not by request. Cheng Jiangjian also spoke, she shook her head lightly, and said, "Your attitude is difficult for us to accept." ”

She understood Zhou Heng's intentions and planned to leave with Zhou Heng.

In her opinion, the strangeness of this Chaoyang cocktail party is not only the change of rules, but also Zhao Zhen's tough attitude.

How could this prince of Great Qi be so fearless?

"Yes, you are too domineering!" Zhu Zhenzhen also shook her head again and again, and the little girl told her true feelings, advancing and retreating with Zhou Heng and Cheng Jiangjian.

"Since the rules have changed, why haven't you communicated with our division commander?" A burly monk who looked to be in his thirties and forties stood up and glared angrily at Zhao Zhen.

It is the "Buddha's Wrath" Chengzhi, a true disciple of the Wuliang Temple, who is actually only twenty-one years old.

Almost all the people on the sect's side stood up.

Cui Guanlan and Cui Zhengqian, who came from Cui's family in Fengzhou, sat upright and didn't say a word, and seemed to have no opinion on the change of the rules of the Chaoyang Cocktail Party.

This is the difference between the perspective of the sect and the family.

When facing the sect's side, the family has always been with the royal family, and will never be united with the sect's side.

As for the three on the royal side, not to mention.

"Are you so excited, aren't you afraid?" At this time, someone on the Southern Jin Dynasty suddenly spoke, and what he spoke was the true biography of Tai Xuguan, known as Tianyizi, who was born an immortal.

On this day, Yizi looked about twenty years old, with an abnormal handsome appearance, a feather coat and a star crown, and a handful of dust in his hand, fairy wind bones, I have to say that his appearance is excellent.

"If you think you are not defeated by us, then it is better to admit defeat directly. Tang Kaiyun on the side also laughed.

This thirty-sixth prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty is a young man in his twenties, with an ordinary appearance, a little fat, a round face, slender eyes, and squinting all the time.

"......" Zhou Yin was silent, his brows were tightly locked, his heart was spinning, his fists couldn't help clenching, and he faintly felt that the situation was a little bad.

It seems that Tianyizi and Tang Kaiyun have long been aware of the changes in the rules of the Chaoyang Cocktail Party?

Tang Kaiyun is a royal family is understandable, after all, according to Zhao Zhen, the change in this rule was originally proposed by the royal family.

But why does Tianyizi, who is too vain, also know?

You don't know anything about it?!

Something is wrong!

At this time, Zhou Heng had already seen that there seemed to be something wrong with the situation on the Southern Jin side, and the sense of crisis in his heart suddenly became even stronger.

So, he immediately made a decision, directly pulled Cheng Jiangjian and Zhu Zhenzhen out of their seats, and walked towards the door of the Divine Light Temple, intending to leave directly.

"Zhou Heng, where are you going?!" Zhao Qin suddenly shouted, and actually shot the case directly, "Who told you to leave?"

"Something is wrong with you, we don't plan to participate in this morning sun cocktail party, farewell. Zhou Heng didn't even look back, and continued to pull Cheng Jiangjian and Zhu Zhenzhen forward.

Chen An and Cheng Zhi also followed, intending to leave.

Now whether it is the people of the Southern Jin Dynasty or the Zhao family, the performance is too strange.

But when Zhou Heng and the others came to the door of the palace, the door of this hall suddenly lit up with extremely mysterious forbidden talismans.

The Temple of Light has been sealed.

Can't get out!
