Imperial capital, imperial palace.

Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Zhou.

Zhou Wenhuang has a dignified body, a dignified appearance, a pair of pupils shooting cold stars, and two curved sword eyebrows......

Wearing a pale golden dragon robe, wearing a purple gold crown with a bundle of hair, sitting on the throne of the gold lacquer carved dragon in the high hall of the main hall, he is not arrogant, the spirit of the Son of Heaven is natural, he is the first person of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

On the empty palace hall, a man stood.

"Gonggong Zhang, do you understand the tricks played by Qianzhongmen this time?" Emperor Wen Zhou's imperial might was revealed.

"The old minister doesn't know either. "Father-in-law Zhang is hunched on his back, and he looks seventy or eighty years old.

"Tell me about it. ”

"Ahem, the old minister said bluntly, Qianzhongmen has a longer history than our Great Zhou Dynasty, and has not changed the number of admissions for thousands of years...... This is related to the continuation of our princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, since ancient times, the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty have to go through the tempering of the Thousand Gates, before they can sit on the throne......" Gonggong Zhang hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty has also practiced in the Qianzhong Gate for ten years, so he naturally knows the situation inside, and the minister's meaning is also very clear, that is, no matter what, the prince must be sent in, even if it only accepts one disciple, we must also get the only place! This is the practice of our Great Zhou Dynasty! It is also face!"

Zhou Wenhuang propped his elbows on the armrests of the dragon chair and supported his forehead with his palms, the ten years of experience in the Qianzhong Gate were something he didn't want to recall in his life. Whoever walks out of the Thousand Gates, he must sign a poisonous oath, and in this life, he will never reveal any news within the Thousand Gates to outsiders, otherwise he will be hunted down and killed by the elders of the Gate, even the emperor.

The strength of those elders is something no one can estimate.

Back then, someone had a quick mouth, drank too much and told a thousand heavy doors, but he died tragically at home that night, along with everyone who drank with him, and his family of more than 70 people.

Qianzhongmen is an existence that the Great Zhou Dynasty does not dare to provoke, on the contrary, the Great Zhou Dynasty has to find ways to send the prince in to cultivate, so that it will have a qualified heir.

"What does the Xiao family say?" Zhou Wenhuang asked again.

"Back to Your Majesty, Xiao Feng seems to be sending Xiao Xiaoyu to go. Grandpa Zhang replied.

"This is a once-in-a-decade opportunity, and everyone wants to get a light? ”

"I heard that it was Xiao Xiaoyu who was hunted down by an unknown man in black a few months ago that made Xiao Feng make up his mind to send her to Qianzhongmen. Since Your Majesty is unwilling, why did he persuade Xiao Feng to retreat? He would not dare to disobey your will. Could it be that Concubine Xiao meant?" Gonggong Zhang guessed, "There were more than 400 young talents who competed for the Qianzhong Gate before, but now they have been persuaded by the old minister to retire two hundred and seventy, assassinated ninety-six, and the remaining thirty or so, and then fight for it, it's almost the same, after all, there are still three months before August 15!"

"It's really annoying! Long Kui's son doesn't get it done, even if Xiao Xiaoyu has to intervene!" Zhou Wenhuang was annoyed, but it was not easy to attack, he pointed to Gonggong Zhang and said, "You, you have to solve this matter no matter what, the eldest prince must enter the Qianzhong Gate!"

"The old minister obeyed. "Gonggong Zhang is difficult to do in his heart, he knows that the reason why Emperor Zhou Wen is so anxious is because of the eldest prince.

The eldest prince Zhou Yu was born to Emperor Zhou Wenhuang's favorite Concubine Xiao, and has been spoiled by Concubine Xiao since he was a child. This great prince has empty conditions, but he does not learn and has no skills, he is only greedy for wine and obsessed with gambling money. Except for his identity, he has no conditions to compete with others.

However, everything must be in the interests of the Great Zhou Dynasty first.

......

Chen Yihe and the Dragon King ran fast for a month before they arrived at the southernmost part of the northern capital, Shanggu City.

Passing through Shanggu City, it is the territory of southern Xinjiang.

"Damn, I finally saw a living person!" Chen Yihe sighed. Along the way, he didn't see a few people. Before they arrived in southern Xinjiang, there were already very few people.

Upper Valley City is very small, not as big as the mountain city, but in this remote place, there can be a city to catch the wind and wash the dust, which is really thankful for the two young people who are in a hurry.

"Cherish it, have a drink! The next time you enter the city, it is the location of Qianzhongmen, the city of southern Xinjiang, it is the only city in southern Xinjiang......" The dragon king drove the carriage slowly, turned back and pointed to the map to answer Chen Yihe.

"How long will it take for us to get there?"

"There is no way to ...... if there are few people All the way south, at least a month. ”

"Damn, hurry up! I've got all the dry food, I don't want to be busy hunting every day. Chen Yihe urged.

The streets of Upper Valley are filled with pedestrians, dressed in their own family or local costumes, and none of them look local.

"Why do I feel like we're being targeted as soon as I enter the city?" As soon as he entered the city, Chen Yihe felt a chill down his spine...... He noticed a lot of strange eyes shooting at their carriage.

The Dragon King pulled the carriage and reminded Chen Yihe in a low voice, "We have to be careful, this is the only road leading from the Northern Capital to the Qianzhong Gate, and it will be more than a month until August 15, so there may be masters in this Shanggu City now, we must be careful!" He added, "It's not only people of our age, but also the elders who escort the younger generations or the subordinates of the family, they are all masters, if they are targeted, it will be difficult to do it!"

"I see, it's low-key, right?"

"Yes, we're going to find an inn and pack up our things. ”

100,000 taels of gems are the most important.

In the entire Shanggu City, there are only three or four inns, and the one where Chen Yihe and the Dragon King came is the only one with a vacant room.

The lobby on the first floor of the inn was full of guests, drinking and eating meat.

"Come, come, come, let's have enough today!"

"Okay, Childe, come, have another drink, and accompany others to have another drink......"

Chen Yihe noticed that a scantily clad beauty was drinking with an extremely ugly-looking man, and he poured wine vigorously, the man was drunk badly, and then he was helped upstairs by the beauty.

"Don't look at it, that woman is a tuo, her gang is eyeing the man's 100,000 taels of gold, and wait for the man to get drunk before starting. Oh, just like this, what kind of thousand doors are still fighting, it's just looking for death. The dragon king said to Chen Yihe, "People die for money, birds die for food, many good hands, each has a ghost, but it is not only people who want to enter the Thousand Gates......"

"Each has a ghost?" Hearing what the Dragon King said, Chen Yihe suddenly had an idea and came up with an idea, "Aren't I still short of 100,000 taels of gold? Why don't you get it from these people?"

"Come with me, let's go, let's hurry into the room to discuss countermeasures!"

As a result, the two of them discussed for a long time, but there was no other way except stealing and robbing, and it didn't work at all...... In the end, the young man could not bear the loneliness in his heart, and after eating a big meal, he wanted to go out and walk the streets......

"It seems that I am wrong, there are a lot of ordinary people in this Shanggu City!" looked at the pedestrians and vendors coming and going, and the Dragon King sighed with emotion.

"What are those people doing together?" Chen Yihe's eyes were sharp, and he saw a group of people surrounding them from afar, head to head, dense, very lively......
