Chapter 119 Parade Momentum Moves Yuanguang
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was a festive and happy day. People in Yuanguang City got up early to greet each other and greeted each other. Naturally, the sound of firecrackers became the theme of the city, and the joy of words alone was not enough to add to the joy of the festival.
This is a custom passed down for thousands of years, and it has been repeated over and over again. People spend this day, begging God for help with extremely pious wishes. The New Year has become a topic, and the word "first month" is an important part of the festival.
The first month is an extremely special day. People do not know its origin, and even those who study the calendar do not understand it. However, the generation, the correct one is justified and is talking about this word. This may be the rule left by the emperor in ancient times, and even the secrets are implicit.
Some people also say that it is just steaming, just like the festive firecrackers, which indicates prosperity and represents people's beautiful longing for the future.
Of course, people are not concerned about the origin of these words, but the situation of relatives and friends, but the blessings of family and friends. After working hard for a year, they should always rest at this time. Moreover, the arrival of spring is even more refreshing when we are exhausted.
On this special day, Yuanguang City was once again inspiring. Because there was a key official from the royal city who came from afar, he would patrol the streets at noon on that day. This was an opportunity to get close to the people. These officials naturally knew how to win over the hearts of the people.
At noon, starting from the east gate of Yuanguang City, the important official of the court marched south, preparing to start from here and circle the city. The streets were already full of people, and people were already curious about how charming this high-ranking official who had already arrived in Yuanguang City was.
The gong was ringing, and the official sat on the golden official sedan chair carried by eight people, with a happy expression and greeted the people below from time to time. He was wearing an expensive edelixir jacket and a square official hat, sitting upright. His hands occasionally waved to the crowd. This official sedan chair was specially suitable for use during parades. The official sedan chair was covered with a wide round ceiling, surrounded by green brains, and fluttering in the wind.
"I heard that this official is named Dong Cheng, who is a very responsible and honest person. Wherever he has been, he usually catches a few people who commit corruption and crime. I wonder if there will be a few people like that in Yuanguang City." A man said amid cheers.
"That's amazing. He was sent by the royal city, so he would naturally be responsible for the royal city. If nothing happened, he would not be able to explain to his superiors." The other person echoed.
"You guys say, what can happen to Yuanguang City? Will it alarm the royal city?"
"Isn't it the previous few times that the army was dispatched? Without the approval of the royal city, hehe, the city lord dared to make decisions without authorization and use the army to do things for himself. It's so bold!" Another person seemed to know something.
"Oh? What's the matter with the army? I heard that they went to Xiaoyou Mountain and caught a few monsters, but I don't know whether it's true or not."
"S-You know this? I dare say that your death is not far away!" Another person was shocked and made such a judgment.
"Stop talking, isn't that the city lord and General Wan?" Someone reminded him on the side.
Everyone looked up and saw behind the official sedan chair, the city lord and General Wan were walking side by side on tall horses. The city lord smiled and echoed everyone's cheers like Dong Cheng. However, some people did see that the city lord's smile was full of bitterness, and even a little helplessness.
General Wan, who was standing by, remained calm and did not change his face. No matter how people called his name, he was not moved at all and looked forward. People could not see what he was thinking, but it was obvious that General Wan did not seem to be afraid of Dong Cheng.
Time passed, and finally, a large group of people rushed to the streets near the Hong family, and the Hong family also went out to watch. This was an opportunity to see big people, and those servants should not miss it. Not to mention the senior executives of the Hong family, they had long been able to grab the seats and observed this mysterious important official in the court in a visible but inconspicuous position...,
Looking at the group of people, Hong Meng rubbed his sluggish eyes and said to Hong Tong beside him: "Uncle Tong, do you think this important member of Dong Cheng has come to Yuanguang City? Could it be that the city lord has a conspiracy?"
Looking at Hong Meng's sleepy eyes, Hong Tong frowned and said, "You have also been vigilant? The young people in the clan don't have this habit!" Then, he said, "It must be the city lord's order to dispatch troops without authorization. Let's see how the city lord explains it now. Besides, there are many families of wounded people. If you want to cover up, you may want to cover up!"
His eyes were concentrated on Dong Cheng, and Hong Meng suddenly realized that behind Dong Cheng was the general Wan who showed his power? He was shocked. It was awful. He had not done what he promised Wan Qiang yet! If he was seen by him at this time, that would be bad.
When Wan Qiang arrived, Hong Meng hurriedly hid behind Hong Tong's tall figure, and only pointed Wan Qiang at the corner of his eyes.
"Ameng, why have you been hiding behind your back? Are you afraid that Wan Qiang will cause trouble for you? Haha, don't worry, I'm afraid he will be too busy with his own business, so how can he have the heart to find you?" Hong Tong turned his head and looked at Hong Meng, and couldn't help but smile.
With an awkward smile on his face, Hong Meng walked out and looked at the huge team again. It was a team that symbolized majesty and power, and was inviolable. But Dong Cheng's important member was not something that others could guess.
"I hope he can bring good luck." Hong Meng murmured in his mouth, and then realized that the afternoon was the annual youth competition among the clan. This was a smaller competition event.
In the Hong family, as long as the two of them are willing, they can conduct a fair competition on the first day of the New Year with the attention of the whole clan. However, Hong Meng had already agreed to Hong Cangtian and said about this competition.
In the afternoon, people had forgotten about Dong Cheng's parade, but instead paid more attention to the rookies in the clan. Hong Yuner and Hong Xuaner were both unable to enter the realm of Xuan Qi. That aura made some children with lower cultivation very jealous.
Anyone who enters the Xuanqi realm can enjoy special care in the clan, whether it is reputation, status, living allowance, or even more cultivation resources, which is not a simple raw stone.
The other lower-class children were not as lucky as Hong Yuner and Hong Xuaner, and they were not able to enter the realm of Xuanqi. However, there were still some people who were young and energetic and did not accept each other, and agreed to compete fairly on this day.
In front of the Hong family's martial arts hall, everyone gathered. Whether it was the young people who were going to participate or their families, they were very excited. After all, this was a time of witness. They should not miss this opportunity, and it can better reflect their concern for young people.
The patriarch Hong Zheng, the great elder Hong Ju, and the head of the Honghuang Palace sat high on the stage and directed everyone below. At this time, Hong Meng was calmly standing aside and watching quietly.
Seeing that everything was ready, Hong Zheng stood up and made a stop gesture with his hands, and his voice was excited: "Everyone is quiet. Today is the annual rookie competition among the clans. As the leader of the group, I have seen many rookies born again. This is also a way to encourage young people to work hard. As long as you can break through to the Xuanqi realm, you can enjoy various treatments in the clan. As for this, I won't say more. Great Elder, please say a few words."
The great elder Hong Ju stood up with a smile and looked at the crowd, "As an elder in the clan, I am in charge of the distribution of resources in the clan. I believe everyone knows the benefits mentioned in the clan just now. Then, if some people are outstanding, then I will not be stingy and will definitely praise him. Okay, Hong Tong, you have a few words."
Hong Tong looked honest and put his hands on his chest and shook it hard, and he didn't want to say anything. But the elder pulled Hong Tong and made Hong Tong's face flushed. He had no choice but to stammer: "I'm not good at speaking. However, you are all grown up when I watched you grow up. The preaching of the Honghuang Palace, you listen to the same content, and your achievements depend on yourself."...,
He said that Hong Tong sat down, as if he was very nervous, and looked at Hong Zheng with some anxiety. Hong Zheng also smiled and advised him not to be impatient.
"Let's start. The rules are not to hurt people, just click until you click. Anyone who wants to challenge can sign up and invite your opponent directly."
With the order, a few Hong family disciples with slightly lower strength immediately rushed to the stage and started fighting immediately. This scene made the people below laugh. Indeed, they were weak, but they were arrogant. As long as they did not accept the other party, they could fight a big battle, even if it was a naked hand-to-hand combat.
Hong Meng hid aside and couldn't help but smile. Thinking about this, he was also here, blank and called a waste. Today, perhaps the best time to make his name clear. Not to mention whether he can defeat Hong Cangtian, as long as he defeats the few people below him, such as Hong Laoqian, he can become famous.
However, Hong Meng didn't care about these small details at first, but Feng Shuang's expectant eyes kept watching Hong Meng. Hong Meng had to make some statements, win a few games so that her mother would be happy. Otherwise, with Feng Shuang's worried personality, if Hong Meng did not have enough strength, she would definitely not enjoy the treatment of the Hong family with peace of mind.
"These small fights are boring." Hong Cangtian appeared quietly beside Hong Meng at some point, with mockery on the corner of his mouth, and even disdain.
The eyes flashed with cold light, but Hong Meng didn't care. With Hong Cangtian's strength in Taixu Realm, he naturally looked down on these fights, and even Hong Meng's strength was not in his eyes.
The competition ended soon, and both of them were lower-class children on the stage. Although they were weak, they were very brave.
