Zhou Jing pondered for a moment and said: "Don't worry, City Lord. Since we dare to come, we have the consciousness to fight to the death in the ring. We should practice without fear of life or death!"
Everyone turned their attention to Liu Wei.
"Why are you looking at me? I'm not afraid!" Liu Wei said.
"Little brat, you see everyone has said so much, and it's inappropriate for you to just say this, right? Come on! Please start your performance!" Another stupid guy said.
"I remember that you were very good at pretending when you were young, and you were extremely shameless. Come on! Please start your performance!" The fat man echoed again.
"Ah, yes, yes! Dashua Erpang is right. Come! Please start your performance!" Sick Yangzi was still nodding his head fiercely, like a chicken pecking at rice.
Several people gave Bing Yangzi a blank look again. Besides saying yes, yes, yes, what else can you say?
Liu Wei saw everyone looking at him expectantly, waiting for his performance. He immediately sat up straight, straightened his chest, coughed lightly, waved his hand, and said boldly: "Those stinky fish and rotten shrimps, three It can be solved in two strokes, it’s not worth mentioning, look at how I poke big holes in each of their bodies with my sword!”
"Okay! Your skin is thicker than the city wall. I'm optimistic about you!" The silly guy was the first to comment again.
"Domineering! You are indeed the king of pretense! I'm optimistic about you." Not to be outdone, the big fat man also commented.
Bang bang bang! Sick Yangzi clapped his hands and made a snapping sound. "Okay! Domineering! Even if I don't agree with you, I will obey you! Pretend well! Applause and encouragement!"
Everyone once again rolled their eyes at Bingyangzi.
Only Zhou Jing looked at Liu Wei with big eyes and blinked, not knowing what she was thinking.
Next, Chen Yi explained to several people some things that needed to be paid attention to in the imperial capital.
Martial law will be enforced during every imperial capital competition, because there are too many and too mixed forces going to the imperial capital. In order to prevent large-scale unrest, the Wen Kingdom royal family will dispatch personal guards to station in various places in the imperial capital to prevent anyone from causing chaos.
These personal guards are all composed of king-level warriors and are divided into five groups, each group consisting of ten people. The leader of each group is a powerful person in the Emperor Realm. It can be seen that Wen Guo attaches great importance to this competition and basically dispatches all the middle and high-level combat forces in the city.
The imperial capital cannot use force at will. Once force is used, no matter what the reason is, the guards will take action. And if anyone resists the capture of the Guards, he will be killed in the street. After being captured and imprisoned, punishment will be imposed based on the actual investigation results. The severity of the punishment depends on the cause of the incident and the consequences of the action.
During the competition, the Imperial City had an influx of people from almost all the big and small forces in Beizhou. The people you meet are basically not ordinary people. You must know how to be patient and don't cause trouble at will.
During the day it is time for competitions, and at night it is time for free activities. During this period, the Imperial Capital will be quite lively, with lantern festivals, night markets, etc. basically held in the evenings.
Everyone remembered the details Chen Yi told him one by one.
"Finally, I would like to add that on the stage of life and death, you can be kind, save the other party's life, and avoid any grudges. Of course, this is on the premise of ensuring your own victory and your own safety!" Chen Yi added one final point.
For the rest of the time, everyone was chatting and playing around without feeling any nervousness at all.
After spending time together, Chen Yi felt that the five people this time were very different from the people he had recruited before. The people recruited before had basically no feelings for each other, and they were wary of each other and competed with each other overtly and covertly. But this time, the relationship between the five people is very good, just like brothers and sisters. This made Chen Yi feel guilty for a moment. If someone couldn't get off the stage of life and death, the remaining people would be sad for it.
Time passed quickly, and it was already late at night as a few people were fighting and making noise. Everyone immediately started sleeping in the car, and nothing happened again overnight.
It was just dawn, and the carriage had arrived outside the imperial capital.
"We're here, get off the car and enter the city!" Chen Yi's voice came.
Except for Liu Wei, everyone else opened their eyes, rubbed their sleepy eyes, and began to get out of the carriage one by one.
Not far away, a magnificent and majestic city lay in front of everyone.
I saw that the city wall was over a hundred feet high, and its length was unknown. It stretched to both sides as far as the eye could see. And under the city wall not far from them was the gate of the imperial capital.
The entrance to the city gate is ten feet wide and ten feet high. There is a gilt gold plaque hanging on the top, with the word "Imperial Capital" engraved on it with flying dragons and phoenixes. These two characters are not simple at first glance. They were carved by at least a strong person in the Emperor Realm, and they exude a rich aura.
The hundred-foot area of the city gate was covered by a large formation. The formation was not hidden. Liu Wei recognized it as a defensive formation at a glance, and it was activated. It seems that it was kept open during the competition to prevent some forces from taking advantage of this opportunity to directly attack the capital city gate.
On the city wall, every three feet away, there is a soldier standing guard. These soldiers are all Venerable Realm. At the entrance of the city gate, four soldiers from the King's Realm stood guard and were responsible for collecting crystal stones from those who entered the city.
On the outside of the imperial city wall, where the few people are now, various venues have been set up. Some sell food, some provide tea, and some store horses and carriages. Chen Yi arranged for Wu San to lead the carriage to a venue, and then led a few people towards the city gate.
At this time, many people began to enter the city one after another. There were still three days left for the competition, but whether they were coming to compete or to watch the fun, they were already pouring into the imperial capital in small groups.
Each person entering the city received a piece of mid-grade crystal. Chen Yi handed over six pieces and led a group of people inside.
"As expected of the imperial capital, the entry fee is a hundred times that of Lianfeng City!" Bing Yangzi suddenly sighed with emotion.
However, few people said anything. They were all looking around, looking at the scenery on the streets in the city.
The streets in the Imperial City are all paved with bluestone slabs of uniform specifications. Each bluestone slab is one foot long and wide. Because it has been stepped on for many years, the bluestone slab is shiny and shiny, like a mirror that can shine on people.
The street is dozens of feet wide, several times larger than the city gate entrance. There are many pavilions everywhere on both sides, shops, teahouses, restaurants, chambers of commerce, etc., everything you need is dazzling.
In the center of the street, a space about one foot wide was divided, extending deep into the city. In this area, there are various stalls, snacks, various treasures, rouge, gouache, cloth, weapons, etc. There is nothing you can't imagine but nothing you can't see.
Except for Chen Yi, the four boys and one girl all looked at him with curiosity, as if they were entering the city for the first time in the mountains. It's no wonder that the five of them are like this. They have never left the boundaries of Lianfeng City since they grew up.
Lianfeng City is actually relatively poor and backward in the city of Wen State, so it is understandable that a few people have never seen the world.
Chen Yi led a few people and continued walking forward. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they stopped in front of a restaurant.
There is a plaque hanging in front of the restaurant, which reads "Zui Xian Tower". The restaurant has five floors. The upper three floors are hotels for accommodation, and the lower two floors are places for eating and drinking. Several people walked into the restaurant.
Entering the restaurant, the first thing you see is people. There are almost no empty seats on the entire first floor, and the first floor that can accommodate at least hundreds of people is overcrowded. Several people walked towards the second floor.
"Welcome! Hey guys, would you like to eat or stay in a hotel?" A waiter ran up to greet us enthusiastically.
"Eat first, then stay in the hotel!" Chen Yi said.
"Guys objective, please come this way!" After the waiter said, he led a few people towards a seat for six people.
The crowd followed closely behind.
After sitting down, before the waiter could ask any more questions, Chen Yi said directly: "Ten signature dishes, two soups, a pot of good wine, and I want six rooms."
"Okay! Wait a minute objectively, the food and wine will be ready in a moment!" After the waiter said this, he went to arrange for people to cook.
After a while, the waiter brought a bottle of wine, six wine glasses, and six room licenses.
"Your wine and room license, please put them away! How many days do you plan to stay for?" asked the waiter!
Chen Yi pondered for a moment, and judging from the past situation, the competition would not last more than five days at most. Three days in advance, and two more days left to spare, it would be ten days.
"Stay for ten days!" Chen Yi said.
"Okay! Food, wine and accommodation costs, a total of two hundred high-quality crystals or two top-quality crystals!" said the waiter.
Chen Yi nodded, took out two top-quality crystal stones from the ring and handed them to the waiter. The waiter collected the crystals and left. After a while, all ten dishes and two soups were served one after another.
Ten dishes were laid out on a large table, including braised lion head, steamed sea bass, five-spice lobster, charcoal-grilled whole lamb...
Chen Yi took the jug directly, poured a glass of wine for each person, and then raised the glass: "Chen will give you a drink first. I wish you a successful victory and a safe return!"
Everyone also raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
Then everyone started to eat directly, changing cups from time to time, and eating happily.
"Hey! Isn't this Brother Chen? Brother Chen is preparing to reach the bottom of the competition this year? Hahaha!" A short, pot-bellied, middle-aged man wearing gorgeous brocade clothes appeared behind Chen Yi.
"Brother Dink, don't bother!" Chen Yi said without even turning around.
As soon as he heard the voice, he knew who it was. The city lord of Dragon Slaying City, Dink, is also an emperor. This is Chen Yi's old enemy. The two have been fighting openly and secretly for many years. The results of the competition for the people Chen Yi brought in previous years were very poor, and they were basically at the bottom, so every time they were caught by this Dink, they would Sarcasm.
"Brother Chen, I see that every time the people you bring are at the bottom of the competition, I am also worried for you, brother Chen!" Dink didn't pay attention to Chen Yi's attitude and continued.
"Yo yo yo! Brother Chen, you are not selected this year? Why did you bring a little baby to participate in the competition? Isn't this a joke?" He turned his head, found Liu Wei, and spoke again.
