"There is nothing in the world that is completely certain, as long as you are 70% sure, it is already a big win. Song Li smiled and said: "Dad, don't worry, I have the protection of the strong people of the Jindan period, even if I am trapped in tens of thousands of troops, they can't help me." ”

Song Xinghai knew that Song Li was protected by a strong man in the Jindan period, and there was more than one. But caring is chaotic, which is also human nature.

The guards and cavalry of the Ming Palace's palace all got on their horses, and a golden bell was hung on everyone's horses, and the horse's hooves were gently trampled, and the crisp and pleasant bells were intertwined.

Surrounded by the most elite guards of the Five Hundred Ming Palace, Song Li followed his father to the central square outside the imperial city.

The central square is the largest square in the imperial capital, and it is called: Triumph Square. Backed by the Imperial Palace and facing the entire Imperial Metropolitan Area, the Triumph Square was large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of troops, and the long streets on both sides were extremely wide, all paved with sturdy and flat cyan stone slabs, enough for five or six carriages to move side by side.

All the great ceremonies of the empire were held in this square. For example, National Day, Sacrifice Day, and so on. Every time there is a celebration, on the imperial city, His Majesty the Holy Emperor will personally come to the high platform to preside over the celebration ceremony, and on the high platform that has been built on both sides, there are some wealthy nobles, and some high-level personnel from the religious temple and the Alchemist Guild will also be invited to participate.

At the celebration in the square below, there is a military parade and a long parade formed by the people.

When Song Li and the others came to the square, it was almost noon, and along the way, Song Li observed silently, his expression was very calm, even if he saw the heavily armed city guards on the street, Song Li's face was very calm, he didn't ask, he didn't say, he didn't say a word, it seemed that he had expected it to be like this.

A considerable number of citizens have gathered on the square, and the streets on both sides are even more crowded, and a large number of citizens are still flocking to the long streets on both sides of the square. The long dragon seemed to be lined up a kilometer away.

Came to the square, Ming Wang Ye got off the horse, took Song Li's hand, and walked all the way to the high platform under the imperial city, the high platform has been arranged, the princes and ministers of the empire and the nobles of the wealthy family have arrived, but Song Li swept over at a glance, and many ministers' faces were not relaxed, and some people secretly looked at the father and son of King Ming, with a worried face.

Ordinary people may not understand the abnormality of today's situation, but these wealthy nobles do. What's more, the city defense guards had already sent a large number of soldiers to patrol around the nobleman's residence two days ago, which had already attracted the attention of many people. What's even more strange is that some nobles are quite dissatisfied with this, and some even send people into the palace to meet His Majesty the Holy Emperor to protest, but His Majesty the Holy Emperor does not see anything.

The crowd below was noisy, and Song Li sat on the high platform. Looking down at the ordinary people who were still immersed in the joyful atmosphere, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Finally, at noon, when the sun in the sky hung in the center of the sky, the golden gate of the palace slowly opened, and a group of imperial guards wearing golden feathers on their helmets and wearing golden armor slowly ran out on snow-white horses, followed by a guard of honor, holding horns high and blowing a loud trumpet of charge—a tradition left over from the time of the Holy Ancestors.

Behind them were all sorts of court ministers. Those palace guards, palace honor guards, chamberlains, etc. They all walked out in a queue, and in the end, two wrestlers who were two meters tall and naked were bare, revealing the rock-like muscles of their bodies, and walked out with a golden giant drum pushed together.

The horn stopped, and the two wrestlers beat the drums......

Boom. Boom. Boom......

A heavy drum beat seemed to hit people's hearts. The sound of the drums spread far away, and the people who heard the drums in the distance. The noise gradually stopped. Everyone knows that according to the traditional rituals. His Majesty the Holy Emperor is about to appear.

After twelve drums, the supreme ruler of the Holy Lion Empire, His Majesty the current Holy Emperor, finally appeared.

With a loud horn, all the nobles on the high platform stood up and stood up, facing the gate of the imperial city and bowed slightly, while some military generals were standard military salutes.

The Holy Emperor and the Queen Mother were all dressed up to attend, Song Li saw this famous "Iron Fist Queen Mother" in the palace when he was a child, and he had the impression that this woman was very difficult to mess with, with cold eyebrows and eyes, and an arrogant and indifferent expression. Now that more than ten years have passed, when I see her again, this impression is even stronger. Even if the court makeup artist tried to make her makeup as kind and cordial as possible, it would be difficult to hide the evil anger between her eyebrows.

It's just that Song Li obviously feels that she is a lot older than more than ten years ago. After all, time is not forgiving, and no matter how pampered you are, you can't withstand the invasion of time.

The Holy Emperor took the Queen Mother's hand and helped her out, up to the princes and ministers, the nobles and gentry, and down to the ordinary people, all of whom saluted and shouted: "Long live Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, the Holy Queen Mother is a thousand years old." I wish the Holy Empress Dowager a long blessing and a long life than pine and cypress. ”

The Holy Emperor carried the Queen Mother and walked up to the high platform in the middle, everyone was at least twenty meters away from them, there were two people, who had been quietly following His Majesty the Holy Emperor, and on the left was an old man in a red robe, the sleeves of the robe were blowing without wind during the walk, and his body exuded a strong coercion.

From Song Li's point of view, this red-robed old man was at least a powerhouse in the Jindan period. On the right, a tall, thin man in a gray cotton robe, who did not wear any badge on his chest, but always held a long sword in his arms. If the momentum exuded by the red-robed old man was as strong as a flame, then the gray-robed old man was as quiet as ten thousand years of ice.

These two should be the closest bodyguards by the Holy Emperor's side, right? Although Song Li often went in and out of the palace before, he had never seen these two old men. He knew that on an occasion like today, the Holy Emperor would definitely open all his hole cards.

Prince Zhong has been preparing for so long, why hasn't the Holy Emperor been looking forward to this day for a long time?

The Holy Emperor's gaze swept across the audience, his eyes were like a lion, full of majesty, and Song Li only saw one thing in his eyes: eagle and wolf.

"So...... Let's get started. ”

The Holy Emperor's voice was very low, he didn't talk too much nonsense, he just said this simply, and then sat down.

As the Holy Emperor sat on the chair and waved his hand gently, the two wrestlers under the Imperial City behind him immediately beat the giant drum vigorously again, and the sound of the rapid drum was transmitted...

In the distance, at the end of the long street, a loud horn was immediately heard, and immediately, Song immediately felt a killing aura in the distance.

The armor shone in the sunlight, as if it had been plated with a layer of gold. A squad of about five thousand men of the most elite infantry of the Imperial Guard, dressed in the finest armor. A long phalanx was formed, slowly walking towards the end of the street. The footsteps of the soldiers were unusually neat, and the entire phalanx looked as if they had been loaded with swords.

The neat steps trampled on the ground, and there was a very rhythmic thud. Swish. Swish. Boom sound...... The crowd began to cheer, and the people on both sides of the road threw the prepared flowers towards the phalanx in the middle of the road from time to time, but those soldiers did not mess at all, and trampled the petals along the way with resolute steps, heading towards the central square of the imperial city.

"The show is finally about to begin. Song Li looked at the phalanx of soldiers in the distance, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The infantry phalanx had gradually passed through the central square, and under the nose of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, five thousand people at the same time drew their long swords with uniform movements, and five thousand bright long swords pointed at the sky.

The Holy Emperor looked solemn and solemn, and then raised his hand to the soldiers......

At this moment, in the distance of the long street, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves.

The sound of hooves was like thunder.

With the exclamations of the crowd in the distance, a group of heavily armored heavy cavalry galloped in. These cavalrymen are clearly the best of the best. The knight on the horse has a uniform black steel armor, a uniform black war horse, and a uniform red cape. This alternation of black and red is combined to form an amazing symbol of "iron and blood".

The closed helmets made it impossible to see the faces of the cavalrymen, and the three thousand cavalrymen galloped all the way, their hooves trampling on the cyan stone pavement, and making a very rhythmic thunderous sound. These elite knights have the best skills in controlling horses, and the cavalry of 3,000 people actually formed a long queue, compact and neat, and even the sound of horses' hooves is so consistent.

When they came to the square, the cavalry suddenly slowed down, the horses were under good control, none of the horses were out of rhythm, and they stopped neatly under the imperial city, and the three thousand knights suddenly separated into two teams like a wave, and then in the middle of the wave, a golden knight slowly rode out of the queue.

This knight was also riding a black war horse, and his armor was completely golden, and he didn't know if it was made of any special material, and there was a faint burst of mana fluctuations that made Song Li's heart flutter on this armor.

The knight on the horse rode out and gently removed his helmet, the bright red cloak behind him rattling in the wind. Song Li saw his appearance clearly, Prince Zhong, this leading knight was Prince Zhong. （http：/／.）。

The Holy Lion Empire was established by force, and the Holy Ancestor of the year was a general who took the head of a million troops on the horse, and the horse could govern the country, and he was a big man with both civil and military skills, and since then the royal bloodline has maintained the tradition of martial arts, all of them can ride and shoot well, and the bow and horse are skillful, and the loyal prince is of course no exception.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the square.

I saw Prince Zhong, who was riding on a horse, suddenly pulled out his long sword, and in the distance, on the horse, pointed at the high platform under the imperial city with the blade of his sword. He pointed to His Majesty the Holy Emperor sitting on the high platform.

"Your Majesty......" Prince Zhong's voice came steadily, and even on such a noisy occasion, his voice still fell into everyone's ears very clearly. Obviously, Prince Zhong's personal cultivation is not low.

"Dear Second Emperor Brother...... Prince Zhong's voice was awe-inspiring, and he shouted: "May I ask you, is the long sword in my hand sharp?" ”
