Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 299 Yingjie
Is it her battlefield?
Standing on the high platform, standing in front of Jiang Yuanyuan, the Second Highness of Southern Chu, the girl's words still echoed in Ji Jiashu's ears.

Looking down at the center of the emptied venue from a height, he seemed to still be able to see the figure of the girl swinging the sword.

How did she get here, and where can she go?
At this moment, a loud bell interrupted his thoughts.

"It's auspicious time!"

"Open the door!"

Accompanied by the high-pitched chanting of the courtiers and the inhalation of the examiners around, the sixteen gates of the main building of the Southern Chu Imperial Prayer Province were all opened.

The cave sky and the stone door are open in the sky.

On the square outside the opened gate, there are black and large groups of practitioners.

Countless torches were blazing, and the halberds in the hands of the Nanchu palace guards were shining brightly. The lights were dazzling, dazzling everyone's eyes.

This is the first time in the history of Southern Chu that the opening ceremony of the primary ceremony was held at night.

What postponed it to the evening was the engagement ceremony between him and the woman.

But even at night, countless lights that had been prepared to decorate the Southern Chu Imperial Prayer Province colorfully, not only was not darker than in the daytime, but made the scene even more spectacular.

Numerous lights, torches and swords and swords are dotted among them, grand and majestic with an unusual atmosphere.

This is the appearance of the largest country in China after the destruction of the Qin Empire, and it is also a display of the national strength of Southern Chu.

In such an atmosphere, everyone's eyes were infected by it, and at this moment, all practitioners finally had a real feeling.

The most important ceremony for all young practitioners finally kicked off.

Counting the first two times before the unification of the Qin Empire, the Taizu Emperor had already begun to try to carry out, on this continent, the primary ceremony has been held seven times.

People held their breaths to welcome its eighth arrival.

"The opening ceremony of the primary ceremony," the South Chu ceremony official announced loudly.

"Start now!"

"the first item!"

"The candidates for the examiner are announced!"

coming.

Standing at the end of the former Qin team, Ying Baoyue stood on tiptoe, barely seeing where the young man was standing.

Really very high.

But right beside him, in the middle of a row of examiners on the high platform, was an old man standing.Even Mr. Haoran respected that man.

Ying Baoyue knew that it must be the chief examiner of this elementary ceremony.

That person stood too far away from her, and his figure was not as recognizable as Ji Jiashu's. She didn't know who he was for a while.

But the next moment, the old man's name arrived.

"This year's main exam is..."

After the ritual officer announced loudly, all the practitioners in the square bowed and saluted under the order.

And just after getting up, whispered discussions exploded among the practitioners in the square.

"It's Mr. Mengyang!"

"Someone guessed it before, but I still don't believe it. I didn't expect it to be..."

"I heard that Mr. Mengyang will resign from Jixia Academy after this elementary ceremony. Sure enough, he will be the chief examiner before resigning..."

"Only Mr. Mengyang can convince everyone. Hey, if there is no such unfilial daughter, it will be perfect..."

Listening to the discussions around her, Ying Baoyue moved her fingers slightly.

"Shh, why did you mention that woman again..."

"It's also a crime. I heard that Mr. Mengyang's concubines have all entered the palace and become noble concubines. Why are there still people who don't want to be the concubine's concubine and go to the border to join the army..."

"I heard that he was cheated back then... and he is still living outside..."

"It's no wonder that Mr. Mengyang hates Da Si Ming and Shao Si Ming so much. It's all caused by that daughter..."

Among the crowd, Ying Baoyue raised her head and quietly looked at the old man in the middle of the high platform.

Although she still couldn't see clearly, she had already outlined his image in her heart at this moment.

Just because it was someone she knew.

In the seventh year of the Warring States Period, the chief examiner of the Southern Chu Primary Ceremony.

Li Mengyang, one of the three masters of Southern Chu, a third-ranked heavenly cultivator, and the patriarch of the Li clan of Southern Chu known as Mr. Mengyang in the world.

Among the many titles, one can actually be added.

That was one of Ying Baoyue's enemies in his previous life.

There is one thing wrong in these rumors before, that is, Li Mengyang does not hate the chief commander and the minor commander.This person just... had a grudge against her alone, and it had nothing to do with her master.

Because of certain things, she had a deep bond with Li Mengyang's Liang Zi back then.

Of course, even if she meets him now, she won't want to reconcile with him, and it is impossible for Li Mengyang to reconcile with her.After all, the feeling of the person between him and her is the most important thing to her.

It's just that now, thinking of that person's possible situation, she can't even inquire about her whereabouts.

At this moment, the voice of the ritual officer came again, interrupting Ying Baoyue's memories of the past.

Almost no one thought that after Li Mengyang's name was pronounced, Ji Jiashu's name would be pronounced in second place.

Although all practitioners who participated in the Banquet of Jixia had known in advance that Ji Jiashu would become an examiner, they were more or less psychologically prepared.

But when the boy was read for the second time, the pot exploded.

Because although there is no deputy chief examiner in the elementary ceremony, according to the past practice, the second person to be read is generally equivalent to the deputy chief examiner.

But Ji Jiashu is only 15 years old this year, and only participated in the elementary ceremony three years ago, and his rank is currently at the fifth rank.

Although the rank of the ordinary examiner in the first-level ceremony is fine, it is really controversial to let a 15-year-old boy occupy such a high position when there is still the peak of the fourth rank among the examiners.

"Could it be to curry favor with Master Guoshi..."

"Master Guoshi is not here this time, let his son represent him?"

"No, the order of the quota is discussed, is it really..."

Everyone here knows that Ji Jiashu is very strong, but because of these reasons, it is inevitable to be confused for a while.

But Ji Jiashu didn't make any arguments, and the examiner's reading process continued like this.

After the examiners were seated in the assigned positions, it was finally time for the elites from the Six Nations to make their debut.

"Step-son of Nan Chu, come forward!"

The order of admission this time is according to the ranking of the participants in the previous elementary ceremony.

As the absolute winner of the previous session, this time the local team of Nanchu naturally enjoyed the privilege of entering the gate for the first time and being the first wave to accept the "inspection".

Looking at the stable expression, in fact, Chen Zichu looked more bitter than usual. He led Ye Siyuan and other Southern Chu practitioners into the venue. For some reason, Ying Baoyue's mind cyclically rang the broadcast, "Continue The ones coming down to us are the Nanchu representative team, they are holding..."

She quickly put an end to this weird association, and stood on tiptoe again.

After Southern Chu, there was Northern Wei, then Soochow, then Hou Liao and Middle Tang, and the last country was...

Former Qin Dynasty.

Qianqin is really at the bottom...

Not to mention anything else, compared with the large and powerful Northern Wei team, the former Qin team was pitifully small, barely enough for Ying Baoyue and Guichen to hide behind.

It is enough to show the gap between the former Qin Dynasty and the surrounding countries in these years.

And this gap is also reflected in the first battle.

"the third item!"

"The preparations for the battle to be the first to begin, all countries please arrange the candidates to participate!.

Characters selected from various countries stood up one after another.

But when Qianqin's candidate for the first battle stood up, everyone in the venue was caught off guard for a moment.

"It's actually him?"
