Chapter 856 Autumn Harvest Ceremony
Longyu material treasure house.
After paying 200,000 Longyu merits, he took a set of runestones from a young soldier in charge of supervising the material warehouse in Longyu. There are four runestones in total, each of which is a full meter high and very heavy, but luckily It can be put into the package, so it is not so cumbersome.
"strangeness."
After the young Dragon Realm soldier handed over the isolation enchantment runestone, he frowned and said, "Take the enchantment treasure from our Dragon Realm and show it to the royal gatekeeper of the human race. Sir, are you a spy sent by the human race?"
I vomited blood, and said, "No, no, really no, if I were a spy of the human race, I would definitely evacuate the treasure house of Longyu. How could it be so simple to just take a set of runestones."
"That's because your achievements in Longyu are not enough, otherwise do you think you won't empty the treasure house?"
"Come here, I want to ask who this young man who manages the material warehouse is. I appreciate him very much. I will tell Senior Sister Yun tomorrow. I hope to promote this person to Dragon Valley to sweep dragon dung for half a year."
"Farewell my lord, I now believe that you are not a spy..."
...
In the brilliance of the scroll back to the city, I returned to Fanshu City from Longyu again. Just after I appeared in the teleportation square, I saw A Fei, Nanmu Keyi and other production players in the distance shouting for business , in fact, it is normal for Nanmu Keyi to sell medicine like this. His medicine is ridiculously expensive and not a real necessity, so basically no one buys it, and A Fei doesn't need to shout at all. With a great reputation, even if he didn't call out, the orders for high-level inscription patterns have never been broken.
Summon Wu Xiezhi, let's go, Wangcheng!
"Hello!"
In the distance, Ah Fei shouted: "Ah Li, where are you going in such a hurry?"
"Legion missions, Muggles like you won't understand!"
"When will you Yilu go to Haidilao for dinner? Call me. I haven't seen Shen Mingxuan and Gu Ruyi for a long time. I miss you a little."
"oh?"
I stopped Wu Xiezhi, stood there and smiled lightly, at this moment, a beautiful nurse came out from the corner, it was Xiaoqian, in an instant, Ah Fei's face turned purple, he hurriedly lowered his head to carve the inscription, and said to himself Yu said: "I kind of miss the jujube cake they made, please go back and tell them, when you make it again, leave me a few pieces."
The corner of my mouth raised, and I incited Wu Xiezhi to gallop away: "The two of them can make egg cake with red dates!"
...
Wu Xiezhi was extremely fast, and carried me across the avenue like a ray of black flame, and arrived at the Wangcheng in a blink of an eye. The guards at the gate of the Wangcheng are members of our Liuhuo Legion, and immediately saluted respectfully: "Master Commander, please come in!" !"
A sense of pride welled up, and before I knew it, I seemed to have become a respectable figure in Fanshucheng.
Galloped into the city, rushed straight along the Guangming Avenue to the front of the palace, then turned right and turned into the Qilin Altar. Looking from a distance, there are more than 20 bronze statues of Qilin with different expressions and shapes around the altar. Each statue is 20 meters high, and the whole body is glowing with bronze, showing the prosperity and prosperity of the Xuanyuan Empire. Casting such a tall and large bronze sculpture is not something that ordinary small countries can handle. , whether it is craftsmanship or financial resources, it is far from being able to support such a huge building.
At this time, soldiers from the Liuhuo Legion were densely packed around the Qilin Altar, and the surrounding area of the Qilin Altar, including Wude Hall, Guangming Avenue, and the Imperial Garden, were all guarded by the Imperial Forest Army and the Yanshen Legion in the city. The Liuhuo Legion only focused on guarding the Qilin. The altar is also the core area of the Autumn Harvest Ceremony. In fact, as long as there is no accident at the Qilin Altar, even if there is a little conflict on the periphery, it does not matter, and it will not affect the national system.
"Master July Fire!"
In the distance, Minister of the Ministry of Rites came over with Wang Shuang and several other servants of the Ministry of Rites. He looked very respectful and said with a smile: "The grand ceremony is about to begin, have you completed the defense of the altar?"
"about there."
I pointed to the guarding force of the Liuhuo Legion that was densely packed in the forest in the distance, and said with a smile: "Look, my lord, with our Liuhuo Legion here, don't worry, nothing will happen."
"Ah That's good!"
He cupped his fists and said with a smile: "The Kylin Altar is defended by the Flowing Fire Legion. This time, our Xuanyuan Empire has successively defeated the centaur tribe and the Scarlet King's Court, and rebuilt the Changshi Mansion in the West and the Northern Liang Province. It was the first time in a thousand years, but it also made us offend many forces and made many enemies. This autumn harvest ceremony is a grand event to show the country's prestige. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid it's not just you, even Our Ministry of Rites will also be implicated."
"Just put a heart in your stomach and give it to me."
"good!"
Minister of the Ministry of Rites nodded and smiled, turned around and left, while Wang Shuang winked at me and said with a smile: "Do your best, and don't let Your Majesty down!"
"Don't worry, brother!"
"Um!"
...
The Autumn Harvest Ceremony is also part of the rituals and music of the empire, so the Ministry of Rituals is in charge of everything about the ceremony, while the Liuhuo Legion is in charge of the defense of the ceremony. This is another rare cooperation between Wang Shuang and me. I don’t know if there will be such a thing in the future. opportunity.
Feeling a little emotional in my heart, looking at Wang Shuang's strong figure, I couldn't help but feel a little speechless. A strong man in the Void Realm, a quasi-famous general of Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi, but because of insufficient emotional intelligence, he was finally reduced to an errand official in the Ministry of Rites. The price of being angry is indeed too high, but if I were Xuanyuan Ying, I might do the same. Everything is focused on consolidating the empire. As for the thoughts and grievances of a certain minister, a certain general, it seems It seems insignificant.
"Zhang Lingyue, Qin Zhan, Chai Lu!"
"Here, what are your orders!"
The three general-level commanders of the Liuhuo Legion clasped their fists together.
"You guys come with me."
"yes!"
So, with three people, I walked around the four corners of the square unicorn altar one by one, and placed a runestone in each corner, and then said in a deep voice: "Listen, each of you I personally lead 5,000 elites to guard a runestone, and I myself lead 5,000 elites to guard a runestone. After the four runestones are activated, you must guard every step of the way without any mistakes."
"this……"
Zhang Lingyue was taken aback, and looked at the dark blue runestone in front of him: "My lord, what formation is this?"
"Isolation formation."
I smiled slightly and said: "It is forbidden to move the formation. In addition to guarding the four formations, send more people from the Divine Bow Battalion to ambush around the Qilin altar. Once the remnants of the Great Shu Dynasty appear, they will be shot immediately. In addition, Qin Fighting, you send people from the Heavenly Cavalry Battalion to patrol the surrounding area, each group of one hundred cavalrymen must make sure that the defense around the entire Qilin Altar is flawless!"
"Yes, my lord, don't worry, leave it to me!"
Everyone agreed to guard the runestones one by one, and I selected 5,000 elite guards to guard the runestones in the southeast direction, and ordered them to stay where they are, and no one is allowed to approach the runestones. At the scene of the Cruising Ceremony, in fact, even if I was not there, this group of elites is enough to hold a mere runestone. After all, there are 5,000 elites of the Flowing Fire Legion, and there are nearly 2,000 elites of the Bow Battalion equipped with inscription arrows. Under the Immortal Realm, no one can do anything to defeat them. Even if the Immortal Realm powerhouse arrives, I am afraid that some will beat them.
...
"woo woo woo woo--"
In the distance, in the direction of Wude Hall, the sound of loud horns sounded, which also meant that the autumn harvest ceremony was about to begin. A wide red carpet was spread from the Wude Hall to the steps of the Qilin Altar. Soldiers of the Flowing Fire Legion were guarding, and further away, there were also soldiers of the Flowing Fire Legion waiting in line.
"Master July Fire!"
An official from the Ministry of Rituals stepped forward and said solemnly: "Your Majesty has an order. You are a famous general of the empire, and you are also included in the list of officials watching the ceremony. Defense matters...just leave it to your subordinates."
"knew."
At this moment, the sound of horns in the direction of the Wude Hall became more and more intensive. Then, a group of imperial guards wearing golden armor cleared the way, with bright sword armor. There were about 500 imperial guards, followed by a group of court ladies, and then Afterwards, Xuanyuan Ying, the Emperor of Dragon Martial Arts who was dressed in a black dragon robe with a strong royal aura, with a sword hanging from his waist and a crown on his head, walked into the Qilin altar step by step along the red carpet surrounded by the officials. Followed by a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites and people like magicians who worship heaven, holding whisks in their hands, each of them looks like they can see through the avenue and see through the secrets, but in fact they are all a group of ostentatious people.
"Hundreds of officials are listed!"
A loud voice sounded.
All of a sudden, all civil and military officials lined up around the Qilin altar one by one, standing on the high viewing platform, and I was also led by an official of the Ministry of Rites to line up with the minister of the Ministry of Rites and Wang Shuang. Standing together, Wu Xiezhi also canceled it, just watching from a distance the emperor Xuanyuan should ascend the high platform of the Qilin altar.
"The people are invited to watch the ceremony!"
Someone yelled again, the voice was so loud that even the sound of the horn could not be suppressed, and the eastern gate of the Qilin altar was slowly opened, and a group of dark people entered the ceremony area farther away from the altar, maybe it was too far away, these The common people probably couldn't even see where the emperor was standing, they could only watch the excitement.
I frowned, looked at the people flooding in from afar, and said, "I haven't told me about this festival before. What if there are treacherous people and enemies among the people?"
Wang Shuang said with a smile: "Don't worry, these people are 'carefully selected', most of them are civilians who have lived in the empire for many years, and some are pretended by soldiers from the Flame God Legion and the imperial guards. Your elite soldiers of the Flowing Fire Legion will definitely not cause any trouble, don’t worry, they have already been searched before entering the Qilin Altar.”
I felt relieved: "Well, that's good..."
In the distance, there was a loud voice shouting again.
"Please invite the queen!"
"Please invite the empress to come on stage and preside over the grand ceremony!"
