Supreme Martial Artist - Chapter 219
Chapter 0219 The Qing Kingdom Grand Ceremony!
The person who came was Lei Zhen. Seeing Qin Fei, they were incomparably excited. The two of them looked at each other excitedly.
“Come, come, sit down!” The eldest prince warmly invited everyone to sit down.
Qin Fei didn’t say anything. He frowned slightly. The Eldest Prince’s purpose in doing this was definitely not simple. It seemed that he had underestimated him.
Thinking about it, he was relieved. He was a prince. How could the people from the Imperial Clan be simple-minded? He was well aware of the dangers of plotting against a tiger’s skin. The First Prince must have great intentions in doing so.
“Qin Fei, your eldest brother Lei Zhen, stay here with this prince for this period of time. Let Shu Mo City show him the beautiful scenery of the imperial palace. I won’t disturb you even if you refine pills.” The Eldest Prince said.
Qin Fei smiled bitterly and said, “The eldest prince is too polite. My eldest brother has just returned. I’m afraid that there will be something that Yongsheng Auction House needs from him. Why don’t His Highness let him go back and take a look first?”
‘”Haha, that’s fine. The immortal Zhou Changsheng and this prince often meet, so you don’t have to worry about him at all. Perhaps this prince seems to be on good terms with everyone. It’s not impossible for Lei Zhen and Gao Sheng to take a few steps at that time!” The Eldest Prince said with a beaming smile.
Qin Fei’s heart trembled. There was probably an intimate relationship between the Yongsheng Auction House and the Eldest Prince. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said such words.
At this point in time, Lei Zhen must have stayed with the First Prince as a hostage. Qin Fei had no choice but to forcefully take him away? This was impossible. Although there were only four people in the hall, according to Xuan Ling’er’s senses, there were no fewer than a hundred hidden guards outside the hall. Furthermore, all of them were experts. It was impossible for them to take Lei Zhen away.
He looked at Lei Zhen apologetically. If it weren’t for him, Lei Zhen wouldn’t have been involved.
“This prince still has something to do. You two brothers should chat more. Shu Mo City, come with this prince!” At this moment, the First Prince stood up and left the hall, beckoning Shu Mo City to leave, leaving only Qin Fei and the other two in the hall.
“Big brother, I’m sorry, I’m the one who dragged you down!” Qin Fei smiled bitterly.
“Brother, I am your eldest brother. How can I say that I am implicated? Eldest brother is willing to face anything with you. Even if he is the eldest prince, I am not afraid of him!” The sound of thunder was like thunder.
In fact, from the beginning, he felt that something was wrong with this matter.
He had only just become the branch head of the Prefecture City Branch for less than half a year when he suddenly received a transfer order from the headquarters, saying that he wanted to work in the Imperial Capital.
According to the rules of the Insein Auction House, this was completely abnormal, but since it was an order from the headquarters, he had no choice but to obey.
At that time, he thought that something must have gone wrong.
When he was in the Flying Snow Continent, he was suddenly controlled to be free. At that time, he was even more certain that something very troublesome had happened. He thought about it and added some gossip. He connected the matter to his sworn brother Qin Fei.
Sure enough, now that he saw Qin Fei, he understood everything. He knew even more clearly that the two brothers were facing a giant like the Great Prince of the Empire.
However, he did not regret having a brother like Qin Fei. Instead, he was willing to do anything for Qin Fei, even if it was death!
Qin Fei looked at Lei Zhen and saw that he was not afraid. He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. After a while, the door of the hall opened and a soldier entered. He said to Qin Fei, “Mr. Qin, His Highness said Mr. Lei is tired all the way. It’s time for him to rest!”
After saying that, regardless of what Qin Fei thought, he directly brought Lei Zhen away.
Qin Fei didn’t have the mood to stay any longer, so he left the palace and returned to the Pill Master Association.
After he returned, he went straight to Bu Zhi and the two chatted until midnight.
Within the Great Prince’s palace, there was a luxuriously decorated room.
“What’s going on? Why haven’t you learned anything since you followed him?” The eldest prince was furious, his eyes red as he stared at Shu Mo City.
“Your Highness, this subordinate swears to the heavens that I have truly memorized all the secret patterns of the formations he has carved. However, it is useless to draw them. He must still have a trump card!” Shu Mo Cheng said.
“Damn it! This guy is really cunning. Forget it, let’s not touch him now. When this prince ascends to the throne, we’ll force him to hand over the teleportation array! You can go down first. Remember, Lei Zhen is the most important chess piece that threatens Qin Fei. There shouldn’t be any mishaps!” The Eldest Prince gritted his teeth and said …
The Qing Kingdom Grand Ceremony was the most important gathering of the Xuanling Empire.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the Qing Kingdom Grand Ceremony.
Half a month in advance, the imperial capital was already prepared. Everyone threw themselves into the atmosphere of the grand gathering. Lanterns and colorful lights were everywhere, and a scene of joy and pride appeared on their faces.
The 105th year of the Profound Spirit Continent’s calendar, September 9!
Early in the morning, the main streets of the imperial capital were packed with people. They watched as the officials of the various prefectures and counties formed a long line and walked towards the Xuanling Square in front of the imperial palace.
The Xuanling Square was the venue for every grand gathering of the empire. In order to be close to the people, the main members of the royal family would gather here at every Qing Kingdom Grand Ceremony to receive worship from all the people and celebrate with them.
And His Majesty the Emperor, this day will also appear in front of the people.
At this moment, the Xuanling Square was filled with a sea of people. It accommodated nearly 50,000 people. The streets outside the square were also packed with people.
At the top of the square, near the imperial palace, there was a blank space. Soon, a large number of heavily armed soldiers poured in. These soldiers were emitting Xiao Killing Qi. They were elite soldiers who had gone through hundreds of battles and had been tempered with blood and fire.
They protected this place. At nine o’clock in the morning, the entrance to the palace opened and officials from various departments of the empire walked out one after another.
Following that, figures appeared on the thick and tall walls of the Imperial Palace. All of them wore golden robes. They were members of the Imperial Family.
On the city wall, there was a tower built. These royal family members stood outside the tower one after another, respectfully standing there, not daring to breathe.
Soon, several more people appeared on the city wall. People recognized them as princes.
The current Emperor had seven sons and three daughters, all of whom appeared in front of everyone.
The Eldest Prince walked at the front with a smile on his face. He continuously waved his hands at the people under the city wall, acting as if he was close to the people.
The other princes did the same thing. The third prince was ranked third. When he walked out, he was cheered like the eldest prince. The eldest prince’s smiling eyes flashed with a trace of darkness.
After the princes and princesses stood still, they all looked towards the source.
Boom!
With nine loud gongs and drums, His Majesty the Emperor appeared and strode out under the guard of honor.
Behind him were the leaders of the three main forces of the empire!
One of them was Bu Zhi. On the left of Bu Zhi was a middle-aged man with a red complexion. He was tall and mighty, his eyes were like lightning, and he wore a green robe. His temperament was extraordinary. This person was none other than the head hall master of Xuanwu Palace, Leng Xiaoran!
Beside Leng Xiaoran was a fat man with a big belly. He was about fifty years old. His face was full of smiles and his eyes almost narrowed into a line. This man had a fat head and big ears. He was precisely the head of the Yongsheng Auction House, Li Cai.
As the largest Chamber of Commerce in the Empire, Yongsheng Auction House was naturally honored to follow the Emperor. However, his position was at the back, so it was natural to distinguish that his status was inferior to Bu Zhi and Leng Xiaoran.
Behind the three of them were the proud disciples of the three of them. Qin Fei was among them, and what he hadn’t expected was that Duan Ruoyan would also appear with Leng Xiaoran.
The other fatty, who was about twenty years old, was about the same as Li Cai. He smiled so much that his face was about to blossom, and he was polite to everyone.
The Emperor brought Bu Zhi and the others into the tower, followed by a few princes, while Qin Fei and the others stayed outside the tower to observe the ceremony.
He had already sized up the Emperor before he went up the city wall. He looked to be around sixty years old, and his cultivation was very strong. He definitely wasn’t below the seventh level of the Earth Martial Stage, and he might even be taller. He looked very strong. Even if he was an Emperor for another fifty years, he probably wouldn’t feel tired.
What he cared about now was Duan Ruoyan, because the first time he saw her in the palace, he felt that he was being targeted by her, as if a sharp light was on his back, and he felt uncomfortable all over.
Originally, Qin Fei didn’t want to interact with this cunning woman anymore. How could he have known that the two of them would meet again so soon? The path of enemies was narrow!
