Chapter 230: Your Highness Prince Zhao, we haven’t seen each other for twenty years. Do you still remember our family?
In the martial arts school, the training students led teams of soldiers wearing armor and walked out of the gate.

Their faces were solemn and dignified, with a hint of excitement and fighting spirit in their eyes.

They have practiced for this day countless times!

The army, like a torrent, left the city along the main road and headed towards Chilong Ridge.

A carriage was waiting downstairs of Xun Huo and his family's small building.

On the other side, Zhao Yu and Zhang Yuan boarded the carriage and left the martial arts school.

They were not heading to Chilong Ridge, but to the gathering place at Prince Zhao's Mansion.

How can such a major event as the siege of Qingxuan Dao Sect in Chilong Ridge today be without spectators?
Wouldn’t it be a good opportunity for Zhengyang County to gain fame by gathering those talented people?
What's more, Zhang Yuan had to go to the venue and lead the assembled Black Cavalry to Chilong Ridge.

Those black riders are the real backup force to encircle and kill Qingxuan Daomen.

……

"Hanshan, Qin Qupu, won the first prize for his poem Yunzhou, and took the purple bamboo jade pen worth a hundred gold coins that the county government offered as a reward."

"Lu Changwu of Donghan County, a painting of spring mountains, is said to have 40% of the original brushwork of Wang Mengxi."

"Sanmiao and Chu Tiankuo, their boxing and weapons are unmatched at the time."

"Langya Xie Chengxuan, when it comes to weapons and doctrines, has few rivals."

Standing in a pavilion not far from the party venue, King Zhao Ying Ji glanced at the paper in his hand.

"This Feng Gutai may seem ordinary, but he is extraordinary in poetry, calligraphy, painting, military tactics, and swordplay..."

Looking at Princess Fengming who had an expressionless face beside him, King Zhao shook his head.

I was planning to invite Feng Gutai to come over to meet him, but my sister clearly has no interest at all.

He knew what Princess Fengming was thinking, but some things were no longer possible.

Frowning, King Zhao looked towards the venue ahead: "Hey, where's the fourth girl?"

"Didn't Ying Liang say that the fourth girl would come to this party—"

"Princess Yuruo is here." A voice came from the gathering place in front.

Princess Yuruo?

Everyone looked up and saw a carriage coming from the side of the mountain road.

It is said that the purpose of this gathering at Prince Zhao's Mansion was to select a son-in-law for Princess Fengming and Princess Yunuo.

Many people also come here for this purpose.

Later, because the county government was involved, it was difficult to bring up the issue of choosing a son-in-law during the gathering.

This made many talented people feel disappointed.

Fortunately, both the county government and Prince Zhao's palace took out a lot of treasures as rewards for the party, which calmed the dissatisfaction of many people.

In particular, the priceless Jade Buddha Bodhi seeds will be the most outstanding elite reward in this gathering.

Having this treasure is a great opportunity, whether you use it for your own practice or sell it.

Although the gathering did not involve the selection of a son-in-law for Prince Zhao's Mansion, the talented people at the gathering were still curious about the two princesses of Prince Zhao's Mansion.

Princess Yuruo, who likes to wear men's clothes, is said to be very generous. She helped to set up the party venue earlier and spoke to others in a graceful manner.

The famous Princess Fengming, who plays the zither, is said to have fascinated Xie Chengxuan of Langya.

At this time, upon hearing that Princess Yuruo had arrived, the talented people at the gathering all looked eager.

In the meeting hall, Ying Liang and Ying Chong looked at each other.

"Brother Xie, I have never seen this Princess Yuruo. Why do you all subconsciously avoid her when you mention her?" The young man sitting next to Xie Chengxuan looked up and asked.

On the side, Xiao Lou, who was wearing a green robe, also looked at Xie Chengxuan.

"Ahem, this person is a little special, so it's better not to tell anyone." Xie Chengxuan turned his head and looked towards the direction of the car frame.

Not far away, Chu Tiankuo, the elite of Sanmiao County, who was sitting upright, looked up.

The emperor got on the carriage and Zhao Yu got off.

Behind her, Zhang Yuan, with his hand on the hilt of his long sword and an expressionless face, also walked down.

The moment Zhang Yuan got out of the car, the atmosphere around the entire venue suddenly changed.

A murderous aura filled the air.

This invisible change made many Confucian scholars in the venue tremble all over.

"Why, it's a bit cold..."

Someone whispered, a blank look on his face.

"Evil spirit?" The white-faced, beardless old man sitting behind Xiao Lou frowned and cast his gaze around. The figures around him, wearing black martial arts robes and holding their sword hilts at their waists, all tensed up, their bodies surging with evil spirit.

It's like being inspected?
"It's him!" Xie Chengxuan, who was standing next to Xiao Lou, looked serious and stood up quickly.

"Xie brother, this is..."

The people around him didn't understand what was going on and looked at Xie Chengxuan who stood straight.

Chu Tiankuo also stood up straight and looked at the two figures walking towards the venue.

The further Zhang Yuan walked, the more murderous aura the black riders scattered around him carried.

This heavy and murderous aura gradually made the atmosphere in the entire venue become depressing.

The person who was still talking stopped without realizing it.

Inside and outside the venue, everyone's eyes were cast on the two figures.

In the distance, King Zhao frowned.

"This girl, who is the person accompanying her?"

----------------

The entire venue was silent.

The oppressive feeling made everyone's expression change.

The talented men who had practiced martial arts and had served in the military had changed the way they looked at Princess Yuruo.

No wonder the talented people who came before were reluctant to mention Princess Yuruo. Based on the aura she displayed when she arrived, who would dare to comment?
Xiao Lou looked at Zhao Yu and Zhang Yuan with surprise on his face.

The white-faced old man behind him had a gleam in his eyes.

The venue is full of outstanding people.

But at this time, none of the heroes from all sides spoke.

Zhao Yu walked into the meeting room, stopped and looked around.

"Today, the students of the Zhengyang County Martial Arts School will be undergoing a trial and assessment. Are you interested in observing?"

Zhao Yu's voice rang out.

Observe the trials and assessments of martial arts students?

The princess came here to talk about this matter?

While those talented people were still hesitating, Zhao Yu had already turned around and left.

As she and Zhang Yuan walked away, the black-robed soldiers around the venue, those arranged by the county government, began to turn around and gather.

As the black-robed soldiers walked forward, they took off their outer robes, revealing the armor lining.

Outside the venue, war horses were brought in one after another.

"That's the Black Knight!"

"The Black Cavalry of Zhengyang County!"

All the elites in the venue stood up and shouted loudly.

They only knew that the county government had arranged many guards, but they didn't know that these guards were actually Black Knights!
That is the Black Knight who is known to be invincible!

Xie Chengxuan took a step forward, and all the elites from Langya County followed him and rushed out of the venue.

They had seen the Black Cavalry take action in Guangling River, so how could they not be excited when they saw it again now!
On the other side, Chu Tiankuo looked at Zhang Yuan's back with admiration on his face, holding a long sword in his hand and stepped out quickly.

As soon as they moved, everyone in the venue rushed out like a flood.

Xiao Lou's eyes flashed, and he stood up and left.

According to the news from Xun Huo, Zhengyang County is going to do something big, and it seems that it will be today!
Outside the venue, King Zhao was stunned. He turned around and looked at Princess Fengming.

"Who is that person behind the fourth girl?"

Princess Fengming shook her head and was about to speak when she suddenly stopped.

King Zhao frowned, turned around, and saw a white-faced, beardless old man standing outside the pavilion.

"Little girl, I want to say a few words to King Zhao."

The old man's voice came, with a hint of femininity.

"Your Highness Prince Zhao, it's been twenty years since we last met. Do you still remember our family?"

King Zhao stared at the old man, his expression slowly changing from calm to surprise.

"You are, the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
