The three princes have extraordinary influence in Dongdu. If they work together to do something, there is almost no possibility of failure. Moreover, the quotation given by Ye Ming was extremely high. After the event was completed, each person would receive a commission of 10 billion Martial God Coins, which was undoubtedly a huge sum of money. So soon after the mission was released, the three ladies took over the mission one after another and met each other soon.
The next day, just as the three "grandfathers" of Dongdu completed the tasks handed over by Ye Ming, Ye Ming invited the eight gods into the princess mansion early to prepare for everything today.
As the eldest princess, the sister of Emperor Qinglong, and a powerful person at the god level, every greeter has a great background. As far as the officialdom is concerned, you must be at least a second-rank official or above to be eligible to attend her birthday banquet; as far as a great sect or aristocratic family is concerned, you must be the leader or cardinal elder, or the head of a golden family, or the head of a major college. Receive invitations.
As for the princes and princes from various countries, not to mention they had prepared gifts early and came to congratulate them personally. Although there are so many forces, the actual number of guests who come is not that many, only a few hundred people. After all, there are very few people who are qualified.
For this grand event, the Princess Mansion was also carefully prepared. The hall in the mansion was rebuilt and was large enough to accommodate thousands of people having a banquet at the same time. In the palace, Emperor Qinglong even sent a large number of beautiful maids, smart palace servants, and powerful guards. Needless to say, utensils, dignity, treasures, etc., were sent to the princess's house in a convoy.
Ye Ming was actually a little worried. After all, facing so many big figures, he, a little person with no cultivation and no status, really couldn't stand up to the stage. In order to adapt to this environment, he simply sneaked into the hall early in the morning and observed the increasing number of guests.
At the entrance of the hall, there were several young men with extraordinary appearance and appearance. They were all princes of the Qinglong Dynasty and nephews of Feng Xi. Even though you are a prince, you all stood up to help welcome the guests, and they all had smiles on their faces. Behind the princes, an old man with a white beard and a lion's nose was serving as the manager of today's banquet, arranging everyone to sit down.
Ye Ming quietly asked the people in his house and found out that this old man had a high status. He was Pang Xi, the grand master of the current Qinglong Dynasty. When Emperor Qinglong was young, he learned to practice under Pang Xi's master.
The guests who came to congratulate were arranged in different areas. People from the Holy Land and the Great Sect were together, those from the academy and aristocratic families were together, the officials were together, and the nobles and royal relatives were alone. There were obvious differences between the four groups. I don’t know what the purpose of this arrangement is in the quarantine area. Ye Ming glanced around and saw several acquaintances, Li Chunfeng, the dean of Dongqi Academy, Lin Yusheng, the holy master of Jianchi Holy Land, Cheng Wuya from True Dragon Holy Land, Fu Taixu from Yin Yang Sect, and representatives of the Long family. Long Xiaotian.
But he didn't come forward to say hello, he just took a look from a distance and walked away. After all, in this environment, it was difficult for him to reveal his identity immediately. However, when he turned around, he saw a group of familiar people sitting together. They were the four killing gods of the Tiangui Army and Ye Qianhong, all of whom were martial gods.
He immediately came over, kowtowed to the poisonous lady first, and said with a smile: "Godmother!"
The poisonous lady pulled him over and said, "My dear, today is your special day."
Ye Ming smiled bitterly, "It's really hard to explain the reason to the poisonous lady."
Ye Qianhong motioned for Ye Ming to sit down, and the few of them chatted.
"Ye Ming, have you thought about the betrothal gift?" Madam Poison asked with concern.
Ye Ming nodded: "Everything is ready."
Before the poisonous lady could ask what the betrothal gift was, Ji Zang said: "Ye Ming, the betrothal gift is nothing. You have to be careful of those guys who want to pursue the eldest princess."
Ye Ming was wanting to know the information about those people, so he hurriedly said: "Teacher Ksitigarbha, how many such people are there? What are their origins?"
Ksitigarbha then pointed them out to Ye Ming one by one.
"Look at that young man wearing a turban, holding a torn book in his hand. This man's name is Dai Shusheng. He is the youngest elder of Qinglong Academy, a powerful martial artist, and he is also the protector elder of Tianji Sect. This is He is extremely qualified, proficient in the art of mechanisms and talisman formations, is knowledgeable and versatile, and has achieved great fame at a young age."
Ye Ming took a look. The man named Dai Shusheng lived an elegant life, but there was an awe-inspiring look between his eyebrows. He must have been a murderer.
"There is also the Marquis who wears a purple crown and purple clothes. He is the youngest Marquis in the history of the Qinglong Dynasty, and is known as the Marquis of Purple Clothes. This man is extremely talented. He was the only one who could approach the eldest princess in terms of cultivation speed. Genius. Moreover, he made great achievements at a young age and became a prince."
"The third one is the elder of Jianchi Holy Land. His name is Gong Yangjue. This man is younger than Ziyihou. His swordsmanship is earth-shattering. He killed gods in his early years. It is said that this man has an extraordinary origin. Elder Jianchi is just his appearance. identity."
Speaking of this, Ye Qianhong said: "The three people Ksitigarbha mentioned were the three strongest suitors back then. Of course there were others, but those people were far behind compared to these three. , I won’t tell you one by one, but you can’t be careless.”
Ye Ming disagreed and said: "If they want to target me, I will directly challenge them. With the ancient battle platform, I am not afraid of anyone."
Ghost Thorn said: "Then we can't underestimate the enemy. These three people, even we regard ourselves as inferior. If you want to defeat them, you must go all out."
Ye Ming nodded: "Teachers, don't worry, I will be careful."
As he was talking, he suddenly heard the sound of a bell. A large number of palace guards walked in and separated the people on both sides. One of the palace guards shouted: "The Qinglong Emperor has arrived!"
Everyone present stood up to greet him.
Ye Ming had already met the Azure Dragon Emperor at a sword fighting meeting. Unexpectedly, when they met again, the other person would become his uncle. Things in the world were changing so fast.
Emperor Qinglong is still so majestic and unparalleled, his aura is so strong that it sweeps away the martial gods and gods present, and no one can compare with it. Behind the emperor, there were a group of guards, all of whom were warrior-level warriors.
"My dear friends, please be safe." Emperor Qinglong waved his hand and sat down on the main seat in the center of the hall. The surrounding area has been vacated to highlight the noble status of Emperor Qinglong.
As soon as he sat down, several princes came forward to greet him. Emperor Qinglong asked a few casual questions. It seemed that they had not seen each other for a long time.
When Taishi Pang Xi saw the guests gathered, he announced loudly: "Today is the eldest princess's birthday. All the guests and friends are here, and even your majesty is here. It is truly a grand event that we have not seen for many years. I would like to thank you all on behalf of the eldest princess." Love."
Everyone returned the gift, and then Pang Xi suddenly turned his attention to Ye Ming and said, "The eldest princess said that there will be a major event that will affect her life today. I wonder if the prince-in-law is ready?"
All eyes fell on Ye Ming, full of doubts and shock, what? Is this guy the Prince Consort? What a joke!
Emperor Qinglong also cast his gaze over. One can imagine how much pressure Ye Ming endured at this moment. The invisible sword swam gently inside his body, easily dispelling the heavy pressure. He looked at ease as he stood up and said, "I'm ready."
"Okay, please, Your Highness the Princess!" Pang Xi said loudly.
Beautiful music sounded behind the curtain, and Feng Xi, surrounded by four beautiful and fragrant maids, slowly walked in front of everyone. Although the maid is beautiful, she still pales in front of her. Her nobility and beauty make everyone reluctant to blink.
Emperor Qinglong stood up and said with a smile: "Xiao Xi, you are getting more and more beautiful."
"Brother Emperor." Feng Xi saluted. She looked like a naughty girl in front of Emperor Qinglong, smiling and looking very playful.
Emperor Qinglong stood in front of Feng Xi and sighed: "I didn't expect that you would have your own choice after all. But can you really keep your promise?"
"Brother, don't worry, have I ever let you down?" Feng Xi smiled.
Emperor Qinglong nodded and waved his hand: "Bring the congratulatory gift."
I saw ten Martial God guards walking up holding exquisitely crafted boxes that were either long or flat, large or small. They stood in a row and opened the boxes respectively. Suddenly the treasures overflowed, and the scene was filled with exclamations of surprise.
"Is that a life-extending fruit? It is said that it can extend anyone's life for a hundred years. The emperor actually gave such a precious thing!"
"The longevity fruit is not the most precious. Look at the gem in the middle. It should be a secret crystal. As for its function, there is no way of knowing."
"Compared to that talisman, other things are nothing. I know this talisman. It was a tribute from Donghai Kingdom the year before last. It contains the strength of a million martial arts masters. It can form killing formations at will. It can be said that It’s priceless, I didn’t expect His Majesty to give it away.”
Everyone was amazed, and Emperor Qinglong's eyes fell on Ye Ming again: "We meet again."
Ye Ming could only walk out bravely, saluted first, and said: "I have met the emperor."
Emperor Qinglong had a very cold face and asked: "If you want to marry the eldest princess of my dynasty, will there be a betrothal gift?"
Ye Ming said hurriedly: "It's been prepared." After saying that, the eight gods slowly walked out from behind.
In order to increase the celebration, Ye Ming specially made the eight gods wear red clothes. As soon as the eight gods came out, most of the people present were shocked. Emperor Qinglong only used the God of War to give gifts, but this man used eight gods! Although the strength of gods may not be stronger than that of martial gods, they represent another level of life, which is by no means as simple as strength.
"This kid is good." Ye Qianhong smiled, "It's interesting to actually create such a scene."
The poisonous lady chuckled: "My son, can you do it wrong?"
Eight gods lined up on the left and right, four on each side, standing on the left and right of Ye Ming, holding delicate boxes in their hands. The workmanship of the box seemed to be of a higher quality than Emperor Qinglong's gift box.
Ye Ming looked at Feng Xi, who was smiling and seemed to be looking forward to Ye Ming's gift.
Emperor Qinglong half-squinted his eyes. He had no intention of seeing through the identities of the eight gods. No matter how he did it, Ye Ming's appearance was enough.
"Your Majesty, I come from a civilian background and can't bring out anything decent, so I can only give away what I have." After saying that, he asked a spirit on the left to open the box first. The box was very long and large, and contained eighty-one sticks. Something like a black stick.
Emperor Qinglong frowned: "What is it?" Obviously, he could not recognize the material of this object.
Ye Ming said: "Good weapon materials."
"Hmph! Do you dare to show off such a rubbish betrothal gift?" Suddenly, Zi Yihou stood up, pulled out a black stick, and tried to break it with both arms. As a god of war, he is extremely powerful. Generally speaking, there is really nothing in this world that he cannot break.
But under his full strength, the stick was not even bent, let alone broken. Zi Yihou was stunned, took out a dagger from his waist and struck with all his strength.
"ding ding ding"
The fire was splashing everywhere, and there wasn't even a white mark on the stick, which showed how hard it was. On the contrary, there was an obvious curling phenomenon on Zi Yihou's dagger.
