The corners of the eaves of the palace are deep, and a crescent moon hangs upside down like a hook.
In the imperial study of Owawa, Princess Longxue put down the brush in her hand.
Since she was attacked last time, Zhan Tian has been guarding in her imperial study room. The two of them often don't speak a word, one writes the memorial, and the other waits by, staying all night.
Tonight, it was a bit unusual, Zhan Tian, who has never talked much, opened his mouth several times to speak, but endured it.
In the end, it was Princess Longxue who couldn't bear it anymore and spoke first.
"Zhan Tian, do you have something to ask Ben Gong?"
"Princess, I don't know something. Why did you recommend Yue Minzhi and others to participate in the Xuyang test this time?" Others may not know Yue Jinghua's strength, but Zhan Tian understands that Yue Jinghua's strength is far away. Above Yue Minzhi, she has just entered the field at such an age. If she can be honed carefully, her future will be limitless.
Moreover, strength is not the only factor in a competition of the scale of the Sunshine Test. Many unknown factors or the relationship between countries and organizations may affect the final result.
What's more, this time the Sunrise Test was combined with the Mercenary Rookie Competition, so the possibility of various factors greatly increasing.
Therefore, Zhan Tian thought that it would be far safer for Yue Minzhi, who is as cunning as a fox, to represent the empire in the game.
"Zhan Tian, it's not that I don't want her to compete, but someone doesn't want her to compete," Princess Longxue showed a rare expression of helplessness.
"Are you saying that someone has notified Yue Jinghua in advance to prevent Yue Jinghua from participating in the competition? This is not in line with the rules of the competition, nor is it in line with your usual style of doing things, Princess." Zhan Tian was taken aback. There are already dark forces influencing the selection of contestants for the competition.
"It doesn't fit, but it has to be done. Why don't I want the most likely candidate from the empire to participate in the competition. You must know that in the last Xuyang test, Long Jiuzun won the first place, and the dragon war empire is also very strong. This time , but can no longer win the championship." Princess Longxue rubbed her brows with a tired look on her face.
Everyone in the world thinks that she is of noble birth and lives as she pleases, but who knows that it is a high-ranking person like her who is in the most turbulent place on the mainland.
Yue Jinghua offended an unknown and huge force, and the other party pointed out that she could not participate in the Xuyang test. In addition, Yue Jinghua herself rejected the recommendation of the mercenary union earlier, so it can only be considered that she missed this time to become famous all over the world. great opportunity.
In fact, the gains from the Xuyang Exam are not just as simple as fame, it is a contest that gathers the most promising young profound practitioners in the world, and just participating in the knockout round can benefit people a lot.
After all, compared with those who have been famous for a long time, what young people lack the most is practical experience and all kinds of tempering, and the competitive Sunrise Exam and Mercenary Rookie Competition undoubtedly provide them with the most suitable places.
"According to what you said, it's impossible for the candidates recommended by Xuyang to win the dragon battle this time?" Zhan Tian didn't expect that not only Yue Jinghua's participation, but even the results of Xuyang's test seemed to have already been rejected. Default.
"It can be said that this is why I promised not to recommend Yue Jinghua. Zhan Tian, based on what you know about the Yueshi brothers and sisters, if it is necessary for the empire to make them give up the game or abstain at the last minute, would they Will you compromise?" Princess Longxue has the blood of the Tian family, she understands that sometimes, the best courtier is not the most intelligent and capable courtier, on the contrary, what she needs is to know how to choose at the last moment, A courtier who cares about the general situation of the country.
Princess Longxue's rhetorical question had already answered all the reasons why she chose Yue Minzhi instead of Yue Jinghua.
As loyal as Yue Minzhi, he would agree to the country's request without hesitation. On the contrary, if Yue Jinghua, she is rebellious and will not give up until she achieves her goal, she will just laugh and be her own.
"However, the opportunity for Xuyang to take the exam is very rare. It's a pity for Yue Minzhi." Zhan Tian still treats his student with pity. Yue Minzhi is a double-dragon knight who has been rarely seen for hundreds of years.
"It can only be said that he was born at the wrong time. You must know that the people who participated in the Xuyang test this time..." Princess Longxue shook her head.
She changed the subject suddenly, "Zhan Tian, how long has it been since you saw Xue Lingshang?"
Zhan Tian was taken aback by the question, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Isn't Xuelingshang the name of Princess Longxue during the ten years of her travels, including when she was the vice president of the Royal Xuanji Academy of Shang Dynasty? Now she has returned to the imperial capital to be her emperor's eldest daughter. He also mentioned what Xue Lingshang was doing.
Could it be that the princess wants to... Zhan Tian suddenly felt dizzy, and he didn't dare to think about it any more. He hurriedly stopped: "Princess, no, Xuyang is trying to mix dragons and snakes, you must not mess around."
"Who said I was fooling around? Xue Lingshang has traveled the mainland for many years, and has traveled almost the entire continent, but there are only a few places that I haven't been to. I once made a wish that before I ascend the throne, I will definitely go to some of them. One place. Do you know where the venue for the Xuyang test is this time?" When Xue Lingshang talked about the venue for the Xuyang test, her eyes sparkled with girlish longing.
Seeing her expression, Zhan Tian's heart trembled. He has followed Princess Longxue for so many years, and he understands what kind of storm it will bring whenever the princess shows such an expression.
"Princess, absolutely not. You have to know that the emperor is not feeling well right now, and the Dragon Nine Emperors have just fallen, and the court is in chaos. You must never leave the imperial capital at this time," Zhan Tian really wanted to slap himself, he had nothing to say What Sunrise try. This is a good time, and it has brought up the interest of this aunt.
"Don't worry, it won't be a big problem to have Cheng Danfeng take care of the father's body. The Long family has no leader, and it is not a climate. You haven't heard me finished. This time, the place where the Xuyang test is held is not only me, but even You will be fascinated when you hear it. The venue of the Xuyang test is in the middle city of Chess." Princess Longxue was inexplicably excited, and spit out a name that made Zhan Tian petrified in an instant.
Four chess in the city? !
After hearing the name, Zhan Tian only felt a roar in his head.
Princess Longxue looked straight at him, "Not only I want to go there, I'm afraid all the profound practitioners in the world will want to go there."
He finally understood why Princess Longxue still wanted to go to the private server in such a situation in the empire.
It turned out to be the legendary city of miracles, the city on the mainland that is said to be the closest to the plane of gods, the city of four chessmen.
The Xuyang test this time was really extraordinary.
Chapter 1.2 Volume 8 Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from villains VIP volume A group of young people
Since the real address of Geyue Town has never been revealed to the world, the only way for the mercenaries of the July Squad to go to Geyue Town is to arrive at the camp of the Backfire Mercenary Group first.
After arriving at the camp, go to Geyue town via a special teleportation array.
According to Feng Buhui's estimation, the entire trip would take at least one month even if the "Titan" was used.
"One month? At the speed of the Titan, one month is enough to circumnavigate the entire Eastern Continent," Qian Luo called out impossible after knowing that it would take such a long time.
It's not Qianluo's pride, but after the Titan has undergone her transformation, it is equipped with the Jinghua-improved pulse crystal-shaped black core last month. The speed is astonishingly fast, even faster than the military empty ships of the Dragon War Empire. doubled.
So after learning that it was going to sail for so long, Qian Luo was not calm.
Although Qian Luo's status in the mercenary squad is not a core member, but according to the rules of the Canglong Continent, those who are capable occupy a high position. Everyone admired her very much, and they all called her a master.
"Master Qian, you don't know that there are many places on the mainland that cannot be sailed directly by empty ships. For example, in the capital of Owawa, there is an order prohibiting the passage of ships from foreign cities without a flight permit mark. On the mainland The same is true of many airspaces. Needless to say, some important military fortresses must be detoured, otherwise they will be shot into a hornet's nest. There are also some deep mountains, old forests, unknown rivers and seas, and you cannot fly, which may alarm the unknown local habitats. Birds or sea beasts. In this way, our voyage this time can only be a large number of detours. Sometimes we encounter wind, fog, thunder and lightning, and stop for rectification. We cannot take risks. In this way, a month's time In the worst case, we need a month and a half," Feng Buhui patiently explained.
Hearing what he said, Yue Jinghua and the others suddenly realized.
Chixi took out the latest map of the mainland.
This empty map was obtained by Chixi when he left the Imperial Capital of Owa earlier, and invited Yue Jinghua from Jin Nuo, who was a young man.
In this kind of long-distance travel, the role of veteran mercenaries like Feng Buhui or Chi Xi is very obvious.
Yue Jinghua also understood the reason for the saying "There is an 'old' in the regiment, and it is like a treasure".
Feng Buhui has been a mercenary for more than ten years, and Chi Xi has been for even longer.
The two of them, one followed the Backfire mercenary group to do missions, and traveled more places than all the mercenaries put together.
As for Chixi, she is a gourmet chef. In order to find all kinds of suitable ingredients, she also traveled all over the mainland.
Both of them clearly know some little-known secrets on the mainland.
If only relying on Yue Jinghua and his group of yellow-haired mercenaries, even if the Titan arrived at the station of the Backfire mercenaries, it would be a wrecked ship.
Although it's been a long time, everyone doesn't really care about it. Qin Dongting has already been recommended, so he doesn't need to participate in the knockout round anymore, he just needs to arrive within two months.
It's just that if you stay on the boat for more than a month, it will be a bit difficult to pass the time.
"Since that's the case, don't be idle. You are already familiar with the training room on the ship, and it's useless to practice more. Why don't you train your mind again like last time?" Yue Jinghua's voice fell, and the mercenaries shouted. The responses were vastly different.
"Training again?"
"What training?"
Among them, Luopan and Qianluo had never participated in the training, so they looked curious.
As for the rest of the people, even Qin Dongting, who had never changed color before the collapse of Mount Tai, subconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth.
Mind training, this is a special name of Yue Jinghua, it refers to the array of thousands of swords and ten thousand intentions left to her by the Yunlong clan.
The origin and location of the sword array are completely unknown to everyone. It looks like a phantom array, but its function is very strange, especially the sword energy inside, which is extremely ferocious. It can tear people apart, making life worse than death.
Earlier, in order to enhance the strength of the July mercenary squad, Yue Jinghua had moved everyone's consciousness into the Qianjian Wanyi Formation.
In just seven days, everyone was already living rather than dying.
This time, it was replaced by more than a month of trials. If everyone went in, they would still be able to come out alive.
"What? You don't want to participate?" Yue Jinghua blinked viciously, "I don't mind throwing him overboard if he doesn't participate."
"I want to participate," Qin Dongting was the first to stand up.
Although the Qianjian Wanyi Formation is extremely dangerous, the effect of training is also obvious. Qin Dongting was able to break through from the Earth Mystery Xiaocheng to the Earth Profound Peak in a short period of time, relying on the Wan Dao Sword Soul in the Qianjian Wanyi Formation fight.
You know, as an illusionist, Qin Dongting's promotion is much more difficult than that of ordinary profound practitioners.
But with the help of Shanhe Fan, his strength is also much stronger than the same level of profound practitioners, and he can step up to challenge the masters of Tianxuan Xiaocheng.
Before he set off, he found that his recent breakthrough was imminent. If he could break through Tianxuan in one fell swoop, then he might really be able to fight Portia in the arena.
To break through, he must break through.
As Yue Jinghua said, only by breaking through can he truly reach the pinnacle of the mercenary world.
He must win a real victory for his mother and his dignity.
"I want to participate too," Salman said with great interest.
Under the effect of Yue Jinghua's Qingye, Salman's cultivation base has also slowly improved to Earth Xuan Xiaocheng. Although she is still the weakest among the group, it is already not easy for her.
After seeing the beast array in the Gravity Square Ring, Yue Jinghua also taught some of the concepts to Sharman and showed a strong interest in it. She cultivated more than ten colorful spiders in one go. I want to try to use the beast array to see if it can play a better effect of controlling the beast.
Seeing that Salman was rushing to participate, the boy from Compass squeezed forward with a flattering face, "Captain, since there is such a good way to improve your cultivation level, you should have said it earlier and count me in. Xiao Panpan is the most progressive .”
The others will not miss this opportunity.
"That being the case, I asked Cheng Ying to help prepare the elixir. This elixir can keep you from feeling hungry for seven days. Remember, every seven days, I will release you and treat you. , whoever can’t hold on anymore, then you will lose the opportunity for the next training,” Yue Jinghua said, ordering everyone to go to the training room together, and after sitting cross-legged, quietly used their spiritual sense to send everyone’s spiritual sense to him. Entered the array of thousands of swords and ten thousand intentions.
