The most difficult system to open in history

A family general hung red lanterns under the eaves of various buildings in the mansion in a very sloppy manner. At the same time, a large number of maids, in groups of twos and threes, carefully threw fiery red silk and satin to the treetops, adjusted their positions, and prepared for the whole family. The huge mansion adds a strong festive atmosphere.

Then, in Wei Guogong's mansion, a shout from the old housekeeper sounded very clearly:

"Come on, there is one less red lantern on the tree here, hang it up quickly."

After the words fell, the old man, who was born and died with Wei Guogong Xu Sheng in the early years, and was a housekeeper of the Duke's mansion all his life after retiring, withdrew his sharp eyes, did not open an umbrella, and continued to move forward under Xiaoxue.

The old man's hair is gray, almost indistinguishable from the snowflakes falling from the sky, but his burly body is the same as Wei Guogong Xu Sheng, like a fierce tiger. At the same time, on a cold winter night, he just put on a very simple unlined garment and strode like a meteor. .

"Happy New Year's Eve, Gu Lao."

As the oldest old man in the mansion, the old butler was extremely prestigious, and all the people in the mansion he met along the way greeted him.

Then the old butler nodded, showing a smile, and the voice of inquiry came out:

"Tonight, His Majesty will set up a royal private banquet in the Mingde Hall of the White Emperor Palace. Naturally, the Duke, Miss and Young Masters will all be going. It's getting late, and the clothes for the banquet are all ready. ?”

After the voice of inquiry fell, a middle-aged nanny who was bending over to salute stood upright and responded:

"Mr. Gu, the clothes have been prepared early in the morning, and they have been put in the rooms of the young ladies and young masters, but until now, I haven't seen them come back."

"This year is different from the past. This year's festival, it is very rare for the Grand Duke not to guard the front line. I reckon it will still be in the martial arts field at the Huxin Pavilion."

After finishing speaking, the old butler raised his head, looked at the sky above his head, and continued to murmur:

"It's getting late, if you don't hurry up to wash and change clothes, I'm afraid it will delay the time to enter the palace, I'd better go to the Huxin Pavilion to remind me."

After the voice came out, the old butler continued to walk towards the Huxin Pavilion, and at the same time, the old and deep voice continued:

"Go and see if the hot water for bathing is ready."

"Don't worry, Mr. Gu, it's always hot."

"Very good, let people park the carriage at the main entrance, and enter the palace to go to the banquet through the main entrance."

After the old butler finished speaking, his figure flickered a few times, and disappeared directly around the corner. About half an hour later, Gu Butler, who was walking faster and faster all the way, appeared near the Huxin Pavilion, but he was not too close , and heard an extremely sharp howling arrow suddenly enter the eardrum.

"Falling sun!"

In the next breath, a round of fiery red sun shone in the sky above the Huxin Pavilion. It first rose like a scorching sun and went straight into the nine heavens, and then turned into a flowing sun and fell directly to the bottom.

The dazzling fireball was mighty, its violent aura wrapped in fiery temperature, and after it exploded outward, it immediately completely evaporated the snowflakes in the void.

A moment later, the falling sun arrow completely blasted into the martial arts arena above the pavilion in the center of the lake, and then the billowing red flames shot up into the sky, engulfing the entire martial arts arena directly in a sea of ​​flames.

"Fizz!"

The sound of high temperature evaporating snowflakes and lake water resounded in my ears. Amidst the tumbling water mist and flames, Xu Sheng's tall figure in a single robe slowly appeared on the martial arts arena, and at the same time a majestic voice came out:

"Xu Jin, Xu Hao, the two of you working together can't catch the arrow that the old man randomly pulls out, so you still want to compete for the Baidi Academy founded by His Majesty with this little ability?

"I, Xu Sheng, are not afraid of being ashamed, but you two little fellows are not as thick-skinned as I am. Don't hang your head and complain when the time comes."

After the words fell, Xu Sheng raised his right hand and waved lightly towards the front. Following a low dragon whistle sounded from the depths of the void, a crimson wave of void swept outwards, sweeping away the sea of ​​flames above the martial arts field in front of him. Just put it out.

In the next breath, two very young figures appeared from the ground of the Martial Arts Field. It was Xu Jin and Xu Hao who had grown up a lot in these years.

But at this time, the two looked quite embarrassed, not to mention most of the robes on their bodies were burned, and their breath was also sluggish.

Fortunately, Xu Jin could barely stand on the spot holding the bow, but Xu Hao, who was weaker in cultivation, was already lying on the ground, unable to move, and just spit out an indignant words from his mouth:

"Grandpa actually summoned the big bow of Dao Soul Xulong, how could this be a random bow?"

After the words fell, Wei Guogong Xu Sheng lowered his head slightly, feeling two unwilling eyes coming from the front, a smile appeared on his old face, and he laughed loudly:

"The old man still said the same thing, whenever the two of you can take my bow, grandpa, I will personally speak to His Majesty and give you a chance to participate in the trial of Baidi Academy."

After finishing speaking, Wei Guogong waved his hand to hide the virtual dragon bow floating around his body, and continued to speak while walking towards the martial arts arena:

"It's getting late today, and I'm going to the White Emperor's Palace to attend the royal private banquet later, you little fellows go change your clothes, and I'll see you at the main entrance later."

After the sound came out, Xu Sheng's footsteps paused slightly, because not far ahead, the burly body of Butler Gu appeared, and hurried over with snowflakes on his back.

"Old Gu, what's the matter?"

"My lord, I just got the news that someone came to visit me."

After finishing speaking, the old butler paused, and the old voice continued:

"Ao Wen, the third prince of the Central Shang Kingdom, and Ao Lie, the second prince, are here hand in hand."

"Take them to the main hall, and the old man will come after washing up."

Chapter 1638

In the center of Wei Guogong's mansion, there is a huge and magnificent main hall, which connects the entire main road that runs through the main entrance. On the plaque of the main hall, the four characters of "Light and Right" shine brightly.

At the same time, a road is opened outward on both sides of the main hall, spreading outward, together with the front and back, forming a transparent artistic conception in all directions.

Although Mr. Xu, the Duke of Wei, spent most of his life as a leader outside the army, the Zhengtang, as the facade of the Duke's mansion for receiving guests, is naturally magnificent.

A beautiful picture scroll embroidered with mountains and rivers of great summer hangs in the center of the hall, and under the picture scroll are two rows of seats extending outwards. At the same time, in the corner of the main hall, the heat from burning Xuantian charcoal dispels the complete chill in the surroundings. Make the temperature suitable, neither cold nor hot, just right.

"Wait a moment, both of you, because there is a royal private banquet in the White Emperor Palace tonight, so the master needs some time to take a bath and change clothes, please forgive me."

In the main hall, after the old butler finished speaking, he poured tea into the cup next to him, and the old but energetic voice continued:

"It's been close to a year, Mr. Yin Wen's aura is already restrained, but now he is even more gentle and embellished like jade, which is convincing."

"Mr. Gu is really a shame. I see Mr. Gu as growing old and growing younger. I would also like to thank you for the books you gave me earlier. It really fascinates me."

After the third prince Yin Wen's gentle voice fell, Butler Gu opened his mouth to let out a burst of hearty laughter, and responded:

"I was also instructed by the Duke of the State. If you thank the third prince, you will thank the Duke of the State later."

After finishing speaking, Gu Butler stood up straight, nodded to the second prince Yin Lie, and then slowly exited the main hall.

Tea smoke curled up and the fragrance of tea filled the air. In the quiet main hall, two strangers with different expressions sat.

The face of the third prince Yin Wen was still plain, and then he raised his hand to pick up the teacup on the desk at hand, took a sip, and sighed:

"After so many days in Daxia, there are several things that fascinate me deeply and make me hard to let go, one of which is this tea.

"The entrance is bitter, followed by all kinds of flavors flowing in my heart, and finally turned into mellow fragrance, like a willow and flowers brightening another village. This tea is like drinking out the whole life."

At this time, the third prince of the Central Kingdom shaved off his unshaven beard and put on the golden feather coat that represented the status of the emperor of the Central Kingdom, and his whole person changed drastically.

No longer the funny gentleman surrounded by many listeners in the Baihu Market, but the direct prince who has returned to the Central Kingdom and is now the most likely to inherit the throne.

Just as the old housekeeper Gu said when he was pouring tea just now, his temperament is restrained and luxurious, which can be said to be the perfect representative of the royal nobles in the land of Taixuan.

In contrast, the burly second prince sitting beside him, with extremely similar eyebrows and eyes, had a lot more hostility, and he didn't have much pleasure in drinking tea, so he used tea as wine, poured it with his head raised, and then His brows were wrinkled, and the voice came out:

"Because of Daxia's rules, he couldn't make a move, so it's a pity that he didn't appreciate the power of the high-level monks in the northern country.

"Especially Mr. Liang, who knocked the Southern Heavenly King Xiliu down, is recognized as invincible at the same level. I really want to see how strong he is!"

After the voice of the second prince Yin Lie came out, the third prince Yin Wen shook his head, and there was a reply:

"Even if the Southern Heavenly King is captured alive, the second brother is bound to be invincible, but once we leave the northern border, then the second brother will definitely have a lot of chances to make a move.

"Now the status of our central state has undergone a sharp change. Those forces that were once out of fear and fear will put away the fear in their hearts one by one."

Speaking of this, the third prince slowly got up, walked towards the window, stared at the pavilions and buildings in front of him covered with snow and silver, and the voice continued:

"The tree wants to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop. When will the world be unified?"

As soon as the third prince Yin Wen's voice fell, a deep voice of inquiry sounded from behind:

"Third Prince, after tens of thousands of years of disintegration, it is still difficult to complete the unification of the world in the Taixuan Land. In your opinion, do you think the possibility of true unification is too great?"

As soon as these words fell, Wei Guogong Xu Sheng's body, which was somewhat taller than that of the second prince Yin Lie, walked into the main hall from the outside. At the same time, a heavy and domineering aura suddenly began to emerge from the void.

Even the ubiquitous air, because of this gray-haired old man, has a sharp edge that has been locked by countless arrows.

After stepping into the main hall, Xu Sheng did not sit directly on the main seat, but came to the side of the second prince, and also stared at the snowstorm ahead.

"The general trend of the world, divided for a long time, must unite. This is the appeal of the way of heaven. Therefore, no matter how many years of chaos, the world will one day be unified as it was in the era of the fairy palace."

The response from Yin Wen's mouth was neither humble nor overbearing, and then he turned around, saluted Xu Sheng in front of him, and said in a grateful voice:

"Once again, I would like to thank Mr. Xu for his help. If Mr. Xu hadn't endorsed it for me, I might never have the chance to see the magic and prosperity of this capital city.

"Although the days in Shenjing City were short, Yin Wen will remember them all his life. I have lived in Tangdu for so many years, but this is the first time I have witnessed with my own eyes, whether it is a country, a creature, or a race, after reaching its peak, what will happen? What a look."

After finishing his speech, Yin Wen, the third prince of the Central Shang Kingdom, stood up. With golden pupils, he stared at Xu Sheng, who was not angry and arrogant, and his voice continued:

"As the saying goes, if you want to reach that mountain, you must first see that mountain. During this trip to Great Xia, Yin Wen was very grateful to see that mountain."

After the words fell, the third prince bowed to Xu Sheng again, and an increasingly grateful voice sounded in the main hall:

"If you are lucky enough to survive in the future, you will definitely remember the old Duke's kindness."

After the third prince Yin Wen's grateful words lingered in the main hall, Xu Sheng's expression remained unchanged, he opened his mouth, and an old voice came out:

"It seems that you already know the news of the Tianxia Daohui."

"I just found out, so I also understand that my journey in Daxia is coming to an end."

"Because of different status, people have different things to do in this world, so this old man will not stop you."

After the voice fell, Xu Sheng stretched out his hand and patted the shoulder of the third prince Yin Wen, and the voice continued:

"I won't say anything superfluous, you and Daxia have some affection, but the old man is very curious, besides tea, what is the second thing you don't want to give up in Daxia."

As soon as this question came out, Yin Wen's face froze slightly, then he raised his finger forward, and said in a gentle response:

"Old man, it is Xue who makes me feel reluctant for the second time."

"Why?"

After Xu Sheng's voice fell, Yin Wen smiled and explained:

"If white hair can be replaced by snow, how can there be a painstaking person in the world."

"Hahaha, interesting."

Xu Sheng looked up to the sky and let out a hearty laugh, then he turned around and stared at the third prince Yin Wen in front of him, and his voice came out word by word:

"Your Majesty has an order that if Yin Wen, the third prince of the Central Kingdom, leaves the country, he can take the old venerable who was imprisoned in the Taihang Palace with him.

"Remember your promise, and hope that in the future, you and I will not meet each other on the battlefield!"

Chapter 1639 The Real Me

On the night of the 27th year of the Great Xia, on the night of December [-]th, in the Mingde Hall of the Baidi Palace, between the sound of bells, drums, ceremonies and music, the private banquet of Tianjia officially kicked off amidst the sound of shouts that shook the sky.

"God bless Daxia!"

This is the fourth time that Rouge, the Empress of the Great Xia, started to coordinate the private banquet of the entire Mingde Palace. Not to mention, she was more comfortable, and on the basis of the original court officials, she also invited a large number of ordinary people in the Great Xia. .

In other words, the annual Mingde Hall Banquet has become something that the people of Great Xia look forward to and take pride in.

At the top of the moon, when Zhao Yu left with Rouge and the princes and ministers, the whole banquet entered a white-hot stage.

Whether it's an official of the Great Xia, a rising star in the academy, or even ordinary people who were lucky enough to be invited, they all started to raise their wine glasses, get up and chat back and forth in the hall at will.

There are also old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time, talking and laughing with each other, telling about the changes in themselves over the past year, both good and bad, but these are life.

"Ding ding dong dong."

Surrounded by bursts of brisk ritual and music sounds, in the corner of Mingde Hall, there were two inconspicuous young figures, a man and a woman, walking along the wall of the hall towards the gate.

The footsteps were hasty, and then the pretty young woman among the two, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, stared at the young man who was pulling her in front of her, her red lips parted slightly, and she asked:

"Sir, the family banquet is only halfway through today, where are we going?"

The voice of inquiry fell, and in front of the young woman, the young man in the official robe of the household department turned his head and smiled, and the response came out:

"Lady, this hall is a little stuffy, I want to go out to get some air."

As soon as this remark came out, the doubts on the young woman's face became more intense, but she didn't ask any more, she just added:

"The old lady and father are still seated, why don't you meet them?"

"No, let's just go for a walk outside the hall and be back in a while."

As the voice came out, the young man took his wife and walked out from a side door of the Mingde Hall. Suddenly, a gust of bitter wind rushed towards his face from the front, blowing away all the hot air in the original hall.

"call."

The young man let out a breath, leaving a long trail of white smoke in the air in front of him, and the expression on his face was relieved for a moment.

In the next breath, a voice with some doubts came from the side:
