Chapter 272 Chaoyang Palace
The state banquet of Shenwu Kingdom is arranged in Chaoyang Palace.
Chaoyang Palace is one of the nine palaces and twelve palaces of the Shenwu Kingdom. It is a symbol of the royal family's status. It will only be opened every time there is a state banquet or when a banquet is held to entertain envoys from various countries.
Under the Chaoyang Palace, there are nine hundred and ninety-nine white jade stairs, exuding a sacred and solemn atmosphere. Above the stairs is the majestic Chaoyang Palace that has stood in the Shenwu Kingdom for thousands of years.
At this moment, all the high-ranking officials and nobles were present in their best attire, and all the princes and descendants were walking towards Chaoyang Palace with smiles on their faces.
Chaoyang Palace is extremely spacious, covering an area of approximately 108,999 square meters, which is enough to accommodate tens of thousands of warriors.
It's night now.
The night sky is dotted with stars, like the Milky Way.
Under the Milky Way, a magnificent and peerless palace stands in the sky and earth.
The Chaoyang Palace, lit by candlelight, suddenly exuded a solemn royal majesty.
Admission to Chaoyang Palace is in order.
The first group of people to enter were the wealthy businessmen in Shenwu who were among the richest in the country.
Although these wealthy merchants are not of high cultivation, they have the financial resources to rival the country.
If Shenwu Kingdom wants to go to war, it must first collect resources from these wealthy merchants, that is, spiritual stones, elixirs, ores, spiritual weapons, etc.
Because merchants trade, it is much easier to obtain these things than in the Shenwu Kingdom.
Therefore, the first batch of people to enter were wealthy merchants. After entering Chaoyang Palace, they could only sit on the outside.
The second group of people entering were the civil and military officials of the Shenwu Kingdom.
They hold important positions in the military and the court and are the pillars of the country.
After entering, they sat down in front of the wealthy businessman.
The third group of people entering the venue were the four major sects of the Shenwu Kingdom.
The four major sects cultivate outstanding talents and are determined to reach the pinnacle of martial arts. In this world where strength is respected, they deserve to be respected.
Therefore, the third group of disciples from the four major sects will enter, and they will sit on the right side of the core area of Chaoyang Palace.
The fourth group of people entering the venue were the princes and military commanders of the Shenwu Kingdom.
The princes and military officers lead the troops in battles and guard the mountains and rivers of the Shenwu Kingdom forever. Without them throwing their heads and blood, there would be no rich merchants and trade, and no peace for the family and the country.
The princes, military princes, and the geniuses they brought will sit on the left side of the core area of Chaoyang Palace.
Since ancient times, the left has been respected and the right has been respected.
The military commander sits on the left, and the four major sects are on the right, which shows his high status.
The fifth group of people entering the venue were the royal family of the Shenwu Kingdom.
The royal family is the current lord of the Shenwu Kingdom, Bai Huatian, as well as the empress and empress of the palace, and all the princes and princesses.
At the state banquet, ordinary concubines and concubines were not eligible to attend. They could only hide behind the screen and watch the state banquet secretly.
When Bai Huatian entered, the entrance ceremony was completed.
The state banquet is very cumbersome, but it also demonstrates the style of the Shenwu Kingdom as a great nation.
Chen Gong, Lin Bai, Lu Yuan, Zhang Lingdao and others stood under the Chaoyang Palace and looked up at the majestic palace on the 999 white jade stairs. Especially Chen Gong, they were very impressed.
Chen Gong said: "Do you see the palace above? Every year at the end of the year, there are countless Lingjian Sects fighting bloody battles to the last moment for glory."
"Every year, countless warriors shed their blood in it."
"The Lingjian Sect has not dominated the Chaoyang Palace for many years."
Lu Yuan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, elder. With Junior Brother Lin Bai here this year, even if we don't get the top three, we won't lose as miserably as in previous years."
When Chen Gong heard Lin Bai, his solemn expression softened slightly, and he said with a smile: "Yes, Lin Bai, even if you don't get the first place this year, as long as you don't lose too badly, this is the one who will rise again in our Lingjian Sect. Opportunity!"
"try hard."
Chen Gong heard that Lin Bai had killed all the warriors from Canghai Yuntian Palace in the Qitian Mountains, and his expectations for Lin Bai suddenly became higher and higher.
As an elder of the Lingjian Sect, Chen Gong naturally hopes to see Lin Bai dominate the crowd in Chaoyang Palace and show off the power of the Lingjian Sect.
But does this seem like an impossibility?
For more than ten years, Chaoyang Palace has been the site of shame for the Lingjian Sect every year.
He was tortured to death by the warriors from the Canghai Yuntai Palace, tortured to death by the warriors from the Fire Palace, and tortured by the General Genius. Almost everyone wanted to bully the Spirit Sword Sect.
"Invite the four major sects to enter the palace!"
An eunuch stood on the Chaoyang Palace and shouted, which spread in all directions.
"Let's go." Chen Gong took a deep breath, knowing that he could not escape from this moment.
On the other side, Murong Qi took Yi Han up the stairs.
Murong Qi looked at Chen Gong with a sneer and said: "This year's Chaoyang Palace will be the same as in previous years. The warriors from our Canghai Yuntai Palace will definitely surpass the others and come out on top. But your Lingjian Sect will still be like a dead dog. Being stepped on and stepped on.”
Chen Gong said coldly: "We haven't beaten you yet, what are you proud of?"
Yi Han looked at Lin Bai with a smile and said, "I will make you unable to live and die."
Lin Bai responded with a sneer: "Before Li Luobei died, he asked me to kill you with a thousand knives. He said that betrayers should receive this punishment."
"He is a good warrior. If our camps were not different, maybe he and I would be friends."
"I will help him fulfill his dying request."
Lin Bai looked at Yi Han firmly and said, with a cold look on his face.
When Yi Han heard Lin Bai mentioning Li Luobei, his face suddenly became panicked and he turned his head away hastily, not daring to look at Lin Bai again.
Climbing the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, there were several eunuchs leading the way, bringing the warriors from the four major sects to the right side to settle down.
Immediately, the eunuch shouted again from the entrance of the palace.
"Please invite all princes, military commanders, and princes and princesses to enter the palace."
A prince and military prince who held a high position and had overwhelming power walked into the Chaoyang Palace while chatting and laughing with each other.
"Prince Duan, how are you doing, Prince Duan?"
"Oh, Lord Chu."
"Let's go, let's go together."
"Chu Jiangliu has met Prince Duan."
"..."
All the princes and kings gathered together by chance and walked into the Chaoyang Palace while chatting and laughing with each other.
Among the princes and kings, only Qi Wangfu and Qi Rui were not present.
Looking around, all the princes and kings in the Shenwu Kingdom, including the powerful palaces such as Chu Palace, Duan Palace, Lin Palace, and Shuangjian Palace, were among them, but there was no trace of Qi Palace.
Not only was there no Prince Qi's Mansion, there was not even a slightly famous general genius there, and Qi Rui was not there either.
Could it be that Prince Qi’s Mansion does not plan to participate in the year-end festival?
It's impossible to think about it. Although Prince Qi's palace is now powerful, it has not yet reached the point where it can cover the sky with one hand. Moreover, the royal family still has the power to fight, and Prince Qi's palace does not dare to openly rebel.
Although Prince Qi's Mansion did not arrive, the other princes did not go to Prince Qi's Mansion. They walked directly into the Chaoyang Palace and sat down calmly on the prince's seat.
