The outside grandstand and the small grandstand are separated by a wall in the middle. If you want to go to the small grandstand, you need to enter Taiping Academy.
Ye Xu led Ziying and the two of them into the academy with the Taiping Academy sign. In addition to them, many parents of students also entered the academy, all coming to cheer for their children.
Ziying and Leng Ningyan were more excited. It was their first time to participate in an event with so many people. Ye Xu didn't take it seriously. He had already seen crowded scenes during the golden holiday trip on Blue Star, and he had also been to a concert. The activities here now are child's play compared to those.
Ye Xu and the other three followed the flow of people towards the bleachers. This small bleacher was in a semicircle, and the other half was the flat ground in the distance, which was used for student activities in the college. This field was about the same height as the bleachers. On this ground was the college Students from all departments inside did not have classes today, but came to watch the competition and cheer for their seniors.
Ziying went straight to the stand happily. The stand was divided into three parts. The middle part was surrounded by soldiers, and the platform was covered. This was where the empress and the civil and military ministers were going.
Ye Xu planned to just find a place to watch in the two stands next to him. He was not interested in this competition. They were just competitions for Tianxuan Realm students, and they had nothing to do with him. He just came out to relax. By the way, I accompanied Ziying and the two of them, not caring where they were looking.
However, Ziying led Ye Xu directly to the middle stand. Wu Siyan was already waiting here. Ziying ran over happily, and Dongfang Yahan was also there.
Ye Xu could only follow him, and Wu Siyan and Dongfang Yahan introduced Ye Xu.
"I told you about Mr. Ye!" Dongfang Yahan gave a slight salute.
"I told you about the Oriental girl." Ye Xu gestured with clasped fists. He didn't understand the etiquette of the palace, so he could only follow his own understanding.
"Master Ye, please!" Dongfang Yahan led the way and led several people into the middle stand.
Several people were arranged to sit in the seats in the back row of the stand. This stand could not accommodate many people. There was a table in front of the seats, and tea and some fruit snacks were already placed on the table.
Ye Xu looked very ordinary in his clothes and could not tell he was an official. Many people noticed that Ye Xu and the others went to the middle stand, and some of them whispered.
The middle stand is where the empress is going. Most people will notice it. Seeing Ye Xu and the others entering, the students of the college and those watching the excitement began to guess who Ye Xu was.
After a while, there was a huge crowd, and many people were cheering for Your Majesty. It seemed that the empress had arrived.
The crowd watching the excitement began to kneel down to greet the empress, and everyone in the stands also stood up and saluted. Ye Xu directly leaned down and let the table cover him, hiding wherever he could.
The empress led the civil and military ministers to the stand. The empress sat in the middle, and the other ministers took their seats according to their positions.
Many ministers also saw Ye Xu and the others. Seeing Wu Siyan's presence, the ministers all thought that this might be someone from the royal family, but no one cared.
The following is the programmed stuff. The dean gave a speech. When the Prime Minister spoke to the Prime Minister, the Empress announced the start. It was similar to Lan Xing. Ye Xu looked a little sleepy, but Ziying saw it with relish. She felt that it was good to speak in front of so many people. scenery.
Today, the Empress is wearing a red gilded uniform with a nine-phoenix golden crown on her head. She looks very domineering and domineering. There is still a layer of aura covering the Empress' face, making it impossible for ordinary people to see the Empress' face clearly.
At the beginning of the big competition, the competition method is very simple, two pairs fight, and the winner advances to the next round.
In terms of opponent arrangements, they are all of similar strength, and there will be no battles with disparity in strength.
Moreover, they are divided into many groups, and the strength of each group is similar. For example, those in Group A are very strong. Zhou Mingye, Li Yunjin and others are all in this group.
For example, there are people like Wu Huaping in the Gui group. Wu Huaping will also participate in the competition today, but due to his poor strength, he was assigned to the last group.
Basically, everyone comes to see the first few groups, and basically no one wants to see the later groups. Everyone is watching who will win today's leader.
The Empress does not come to see the competition every day. Today is the first day. If the Empress comes back to watch, she will not come again later, and the leader will appear today.
There will never be a situation where you are usually very poor in cultivation and then skyrocket in the big competition. Because you hide your strength, you will be divided into the lower groups. You will not be able to compete with those in the front, and you will not even be qualified.
At the beginning of the game, groups of opponents came on stage and fought fiercely. They all wanted to show off their strength in front of the empress.
Every time he won or lost, there would be loud shouts, cheers, and sighs from the stands. Some people cheered for buying the right player in the casino, while others cursed for losing money.
Ye Xu's attention was not on the ring. He had been observing other people, observing the various aspects of life and the appearance of all living beings. This was much more interesting than watching the competition.
Ziying followed the shouting. The little girl was easily infected by the atmosphere. When she saw a student she liked, she cheered for him. She was very passionate.
The people in the middle stand were all ministers. They were not so excited when watching the game. They all smiled and applauded at most. However, Ziying, Leng Ningyan and Wu Siyan behind them kept cheering, which annoyed the ministers. They looked back from time to time to see who was so bold and shouted loudly behind the empress.
Someone planned to stop Ziying and the others from shouting, but was stopped by Dongfang Yahan, which made many people wonder who this little girl was and why the empress tolerated her so much.
Time passed very quickly, and the game never stopped. Before I knew it, half a day passed without a break. Thanks to this being a world of cultivation, if I were in Blue Star and sat here for such a long time, it would definitely be very painful to hold in my urine. But people here can practice, so it’s okay to just sit there for a day or two.
The Group A game has finally arrived. They are the big show today. There are ten people in total, playing against each other in pairs. The winner will be promoted. Five people will be promoted in one round. The five losers will compete again and one person will be promoted.
The six people then play against each other in pairs, and three people advance to the next level. The three losers then compete against each other to advance to one person.
Four people will fight against each other in two pairs, and two people will be promoted. The loser will fight again, and the winner will be the third one. The two people who have advanced will fight against each other, and they will be divided into first and second place.
The process is relatively long, and only Group A has such competition rules. The others are two-by-two battles, and there is no such thing as a loser playing against each other.
Since there are many competitions to participate in, these academy disciples will be allowed to take pills after a competition to replenish their physical and spiritual power.
The quality of the players in Group A was obviously much better, and they looked more interesting. Everyone was watching the game attentively.
In the end, Zhou Mingye, Wu Huawen, Wang Peiyu, and Liu Hongwei persisted. Zhou Mingye and Wang Peiyu fought, and Zhou Mingye finally won the game.
Wu Huawen and Liu Hongwei fought, and Wu Huawen won.
Liu Hongwei and Wang Peiyu won, and Wang Peiyu won the third place in Group A.
In the end, after Zhou Mingye and Wu Huawen fought for 300 rounds, Zhou Mingye won even more.
The news that Ye Xu heard in the restaurant was basically true. Sure enough, the leader of this term was among Zhou Mingye, Wu Huawen, Wang Peiyu, Li Yunjin, and Liu Hongwei. These people were about the same strength, but Zhou Mingye just has a more solid foundation than others.
With the appearance of the leader, the scene became lively. Next, it will be the moment of the empress, because this leader is equivalent to the martial arts champion. The empress will appoint an official on the spot, and may also grant a marriage. This is passed down by the common people, and it is said that the gift will be given. marriage.
As for the gift of marriage, it should be the imagination of the common people, because everyone likes to dream about reaching the sky in one step, and they all hope that the princess falls in love with a poor boy. Even if there is a gift of marriage, it is impossible to be here, and it will take time to go to court.
Zhou Mingye, Wu Huawen and Wang Peiyu, who won the top three, came to the stands.
Zhou Mingye and Wang Peiyu were very excited. The purpose of entering Taiping Academy was to become officials of the Wutang Kingdom. Now they were about to meet the empress. Of course they were excited. They had heard that the empress was so beautiful that she was the best in the world. They Finally able to see the empress, several people were nervous and excited.
Wu Huawen was also very happy. Although he did not win first place, he had a very good relationship with Zhou Mingye. He felt that Zhou Mingye would definitely support him, and he also hoped to be praised by his aunt.
"Your Majesty, Zhou Mingye, Wu Huawen, and Wang Peiyu are here to see you." The three of them immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted when they arrived at the stand.
"Pingsheng!" The empress's calm and pleasant voice came out, spreading throughout the entire competition venue. At this time, everyone was silent.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The three stood up, but Zhou Mingye and Wang Peiyu did not dare to look up directly at the empress. They could only look in the direction of the empress with their peripheral vision.
"Wang Peiyu, congratulations on winning third place. Are you willing to serve as an official for the people of Wutang Kingdom?" the empress asked.
"I wish..." Wang Peiyu replied immediately after hearing this, but he didn't finish his words.
"Wu Mingyue, you, a thief who stole the throne, still have the nerve to be promoted to an official position again. It's so shameless. I advise you to abdicate the throne quickly and give up the throne." At this time, a voice came from the sky.
After hearing this, the scene fell into silence, and then the whole place suddenly burst into an uproar. Everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from, and everyone was talking about it.
"Quiet!" A majestic voice resounded throughout the world, and the whole world became quiet again in an instant.
"Who are you? How dare you say such treacherous and unjust words!" A voice sounded. It was Di Yunsheng, the prime minister of Wutang Kingdom. He was an old man with gray hair and a purple python robe.
Only then did everyone see three people standing there in the sky. In the middle was a young man, wearing a royal robe. He looked human-like, but his eyes were full of arrogance.
"Di Yunsheng, you are a veteran of Wutang, and you are actually assisting a person who deceives the world and steals his reputation. You have brought the Di family's face into disgrace." The young man said with disdain.
"..." Di Yunsheng was confused and thought to himself, "Who are you?"
"Who are you?" the empress' voice sounded, without any emotion in her tone.
"Even I don't know? Haha, Wu Mingyue, have you forgotten Xiao Cairen?" the young man said angrily.
"Xiao Cairen?" The empress was a little confused. Who is Xiao Cairen? Should I remember?
All the ministers looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't even know who this Xiao Cai was.
"Oh, I probably know it. Xiao Cairen seems to be one of the late emperor's concubines. After the late emperor passed away, those concubines all returned to their own families. Xiao Cairen was very young at that time, and I didn't hear that he had any children of the late emperor. ?" Di Yunsheng whispered to the empress.
