I really became a king.

Chapter 25: Dragon Gate Challenge, which has not appeared for thousands of years
"Alas, why must the prince be so stubborn? What's wrong with taking a step back?" Shangguan Bing sighed softly on the way out of Shuliu Palace.

So what if you take a step back? That's because you haven't seen what Jiang Se and his son did in the previous life. Jiang Yi will not tolerate that kind of humiliation.

Shangguan Bing looked at the silent Jiang Yi, suddenly chuckled, and said playfully: "Have you ever thought about the consequences of losing the Dragon Gate Tournament, my prince?"

"I have nothing, a stray dog!" These eight words popped out of Jiang Yi's mouth.

"You might want to consider joining our sect then." Shangguan Bing blinked.

Jiang Yi glanced at the other party and said, "Then I will be the first person in the history of the Dali royal family to join a secular sect, and the only one in the four great dynasties."

"I'm afraid he'll die a worse death."

"That's not necessarily true." Shangguan Bing tilted his head and smiled: "Your Highness might as well consider it seriously."

Jiang Yi nodded. He was originally a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest. It made no difference to him whether it was a secular dynasty or a secular sect.

"My lord, take care. I will wait for good news." Shangguan Bing bowed slightly.

After stepping out of the Shuliu Palace, Jiang Yi suddenly stopped, without looking back, and said: "Sister Shangguan, I will not lose in the Dragon Gate Contest, remember to come to the scene to cheer for me."

Shangguan Bing opened her mouth slightly, not understanding where Jiang Yi got his confidence from.

The Longmen Challenge is an ancestral tradition of the Dali royal family, targeting direct descendants of the royal family.

If any branch of the direct royal family has no descendants, a dragon gate contest will be held to select the heir of this branch from among a group of young direct royal family members to inherit all the family property.

If there is a descendant but he has no talent or virtue, a dragon gate contest will also be set up, and all the young royal family members can challenge the descendants of this branch, and the winner will be the new heir.

This Dragon Gate Competition was only held a few times in the early days of the dynasty, but it has not appeared once in the past few thousand years. Occasionally, if there is no offspring, the method of adoption will be used. Even if the offspring has no talent or virtue, people will generally turn a blind eye to it.

But now it has been brought up again, and the spearhead is directed at the Prince Duan's Mansion, a direct descendant of the royal family.

Prince Duan has sons, and more than one. He also appointed the Crown Prince very early on, but now they have all become people without talent or virtue.

They are two brothers born from the same mother and are biological children, so how can you be so partial to them?

Jiang Yi felt a little sorry for Prince Duan Jiang Lie. He had been stationed in the northern border for ten years, but ended up losing his family business. According to his memory, except for Jiang Zhongbao, the other descendants of Prince Duan lived worse than dogs.

A few days later, after the incident involving Princess Duan's return to the north, Prince Duan's Mansion once again became the focus of the entire imperial capital.

A piece of news spread like wildfire throughout the entire imperial capital: Longmen Tournament. One month later, the imperial capital will hold Longmen Tournament. This will be the first time in thousands of years that the Dali Dynasty has held Longmen Tournament.

The target of Longmen Challenge is still Prince Duan's Mansion, and the spearhead is directed at Prince Duan Jiang Lie, who has guarded the northern border for more than ten years and has made outstanding military achievements.

"Alas, when people leave, the tea gets cold."

"The problem is that Prince Duan hasn't left yet, but he's already impatiently picking peaches."

"Although he's not dead yet, I heard he's already half-conscious. It's just a matter of time."

"Besides, after Princess Duan returned, she has completely taken control of the Northern Frontier. Prince Duan is just a puppet there now."

"Isn't the young prince of Prince Duan's Mansion the legitimate son of Princess Duan? Aren't they afraid of angering Princess Duan by doing this?"

"Tsk, haven't you heard that the little prince is not Princess Duan's biological son at all, and I heard that they didn't get along well over the years."

"Yes, if it was good, Princess Duan would have brought the young prince north and supported him to slowly take charge of the northern border..."

"..."

There were similar discussions everywhere, and many of them expressed regret for Prince Duan. After all, Prince Duan had been in charge of the northern border for many years, and his performance and reputation were quite good.

Of course, there were also voices of gloating, and a lot of negative information about Prince Duan's Mansion, Prince Duan, and the little prince was constantly exposed, and the gossip fire in the entire imperial capital was burning more and more. And just when the entire imperial capital was discussing this, another incident happened, making Prince Duan's Mansion completely the focus of public opinion.

Prince Duan Jiang Lie has been in charge of the Northern Frontier for more than ten years and has quite a few trusted followers. But now, all of these trusted followers have returned and have all been eliminated from the Northern Frontier system by Princess Duan.

People are talking about the ruthlessness of Princess Duan, but more people are watching how Prince Duan's Mansion will deal with these people, and whether the young prince who has suddenly kept a low profile in the past two years can suppress these arrogant and powerful generals.

"Tens of thousands of Bull Fighting Army soldiers, my God, you haven't seen the momentum, it's obvious that they fought their way out of a sea of ​​blood and corpses."

"There are also dozens of generals leading troops, many of whom are peerless martial arts masters above the fifth level, and each of them is unruly and unruly."

"Yes, it may be difficult for the young prince of Prince Duan's Mansion to suppress these arrogant soldiers and generals alone."

"Haha, it's more than difficult. It should be basically hopeless. You didn't see that all those arrogant soldiers and brave generals gathered around one person."

"Who? Of course it's Jiang Zhongchi, the second son of Prince Duan's Mansion!"

"The Second Young Master has been serving Prince Duan for the past few years. I'm afraid he has already won over those arrogant and brave generals."

"Now that the Second Young Master has returned, coupled with the Dragon Gate Contest, Prince Duan's Mansion will surely be very lively in the future."

"..."

It is indeed like what people are saying outside, Prince Duan’s Mansion is really bustling now.

Not long after An Daohui returned, dozens of generals, led by the second son of Prince Duan's Mansion, also returned. As for the 10,000 Douniu troops, they were stationed outside the city, otherwise it would have been even more lively.

At this time in Prince Duan's Mansion, only the Huanqi Hall was bustling with people and extremely noisy. Except for the Huanqi Hall, the rest of the place was in a depressing silence.

Prince Duan Jiang Lie is critically ill in the northern border, the Crown Prince is young and is facing the "Dragon Gate Challenge". Now the Second Young Master is leading these arrogant soldiers and generals to return in force.

The Prince Duan's Mansion is now in a turbulent and precarious time, causing panic among the people in the mansion, and even some servants have already packed their bags.

Jiang Yi received the news as soon as he left the imperial city. He did not look surprised at all, as he had expected this.

If we go by the memory of the previous life, Princess Duan's temperament changed drastically, and she went on a killing spree after returning to Northern Frontier. Almost all of these people died in Northern Frontier, including Jiang Zhongchi.

But in this life, all this changed because of Jiang Yi, and Princess Duan released all these people.

"There is indeed some trouble."

Walking on the streets of the imperial capital, Jiang Yi was silently thinking about countermeasures. He had just taken control of Prince Duan's Mansion, and his foundation was still unstable. Jiang Zhongchi's return with these people would cause some impact on him, but that was all.

It's fine if you know how to adapt to the times, but if you don't... then you can't blame yourself for being so cruel!

Jiang Yi was not in a hurry to return to Prince Duan's Mansion. Instead, he strolled on the street. During the past two years of traveling through time, he had been trembling with fear and planning carefully. He had no freedom at all. Even when he occasionally went out of the mansion, Fan Muqiu followed him.

So this was the first time he could wander around as he pleased.

Jiang Yi was walking in front, followed by Fu Long with his hands in his sleeves and two followers. He looked around carefully, with a look of curiosity in his eyes.

As the imperial capital of the Dali Dynasty, it has a population of millions and is very prosperous. Everything that is available in the Wild Continent can be found here.

As I walked along, I unknowingly entered a market area. The people gathered here were all from the lower class making a living. There were all kinds of people, and it was extremely noisy.

The excited Jiang Yi was attracted by the noise and walked over.

When I got closer and saw a scene that seemed familiar in my memory, I felt very happy. I had planned to take some time to look for it, but now I came across it.
