Hong Yan raised his eyebrows, realizing how wrong his words were just now.

Patriarch Linghu sighed and said, "When we first came into contact with this child, we already knew that he wasn't someone from the pond. I didn't expect him to actually send such a great gift to our Cloud Climbing City!"

As he said that, the Linghu Clan's Patriarch suddenly looked towards Guild Master Gong and raised his eyebrows. "The meaning of what Guild Master Gong said just now, are you trying to find Chen Chang He for revenge?"

Not only is President Gong not angry, he even grinned and said: "To think that this brat has such abilities! After he entered Hidden Dragon Gate, he could be said to be far away from me, so naturally, I couldn't reach him. Furthermore, I no longer have any reason to take revenge, because just as Patriarch Linghu said just now, not only did he give me a present from the Cloud Climbing City, he also gave me a present! "

City Lord Ni lamented, "To think that our Cloud Climbing City managed to obtain such a great reputation with the help of an external force."

Patriarch Linghu laughed. "Isn't this fate? If the Liu Clan hadn't harbored killing intent towards my daughter, then the Linghu Clan wouldn't have owed him a favor, and the Liu Clan's spot would naturally not have been given out. If it wasn't for the City Lord's selflessness and having promised to give this position to me and not stay in the City Lord's Mansion, it would still be impossible for this to be the result of good deeds, right? "

City Lord Ni laughed, "In that case, it seems like we still have to thank the Liu Clan!"

The head of the Linghu clan laughed, "This matter must be announced to the entire city. When that happens, we'll have to see what expression the Liu clan lord has."

President Gong patted the head of the Linghu family on the shoulder and smiled: "Chen Chang Ku helped me out greatly. This kindness cannot be forgotten. I remember that the Linghu Family's Patriarch once talked to me about a business deal regarding demon beasts?"

The head of the Linghu clan's eyes lit up. "Guild Leader Gong is willing to cooperate?"

President Gong smiled and said, "Tomorrow, you will go to the Gong Family's company headquarters to look for me. You and I will discuss in detail here." As for this Chen Chang He, if he ever comes back with us, you must tell me, let me entertain him well! "

Everyone understood that Chairman Gong was a businessman and also a smart person.

He said this not only because he wanted to thank Chen Chang Ku for helping him, but also because … Chen Chang He was an outstanding existence that the Gong Family Merchant Guild was worthy of roping in!

"..."

Great Song Kingdom, capital.

Cloud Climbing City and the Dasong Kingdom lived next to each other. By the time the Lightning Bird had arrived at the city, the other Lightning Bird had already arrived at the capital.

After the city guards received the Lightning Bird, they immediately rushed into the palace on horseback.

At this moment, the Imperial Palace was very lively. Because today was the thirty-first birthday of the Emperor's most beloved concubine, Fei Fei, the Emperor held a grand banquet to welcome the civil and military officials. He even invited Chen Taiji, the Chen family's old patriarch, to attend.

No matter what, Chen Taiji had already surpassed Mister Lan Dazhang, the number one expert in the Kingdom of Great Pine. Even though the fourth princess had already climbed up the ranks of the Dragonsaliva Sect, the emperor still wanted to rope her in.

There was still nearly a year until the wedding between the Fourth Princess and the Young Sect Master of the Dragon Saliva Sect.

Ever since Chen Taiji resigned from his position as the Great General of the country, he had stopped taking matters into his own hands and handed over the entire business of the Chen family to Chen Lushui and the Great Elder. He then focused on accompanying his grandson and granddaughter Chen Changyi, as well as frequently going to the mines to drink and chat with his old brothers about the heroic and interesting things that happened in the past.

The emperor seemed to know that his invitation to Chen Taiji would not work, so he asked the prime minister and Zhennan Wang to take turns inviting him.

There was no other way. Although Chen Taiji did not want to go, the Prime Minister had helped Chen Chang He before. Zhennan Wang could be considered as an old friend of his.

Thus, when the city guards entered the palace with the Lightning Bird and the letter, other than the civil and military officials, the Prime Minister, the Southern King, and the others, Chen Taiji were also there.

Chen Taiji sat there bored out of his mind. He was too lazy to care who toasted with him, and even when the Emperor toasted him, he was met with a face full of ashes.

He had only come this time to return the favor. In the future, he would not have anything to do with the royal family!

When he heard about the letter sent by the guard bringing the Lightning Bird and Hongxing City, he finally raised his eyebrows and pricked his ears to listen.

The emperor sat at the head of the hall. After hearing the report from the guards, he immediately asked, "Has the news been leaked? So fast? "Quickly recite it!"

The guard immediately read aloud: "This time's Southern District's preliminary elimination round will be a individual battle or group battle. The five participants from the Great Songcheng Kingdom will fight on their own and only Qing Kang will be able to advance to the next level. The Prime Minister's Residence, Qing Yi, Huo Shan, the Ninth Prince of the Royal Family, and Dai Tian Gan will be eliminated."

With these words, the entire palace hall burst into an uproar.

"The young prince of Qing Kang is indeed worthy of being the leader of the eight noble young masters. He passed the audition without any surprises!"

"Since you can choose to fight alone, why didn't the young prince of Qing Kang choose to lead the team?"

"Hehe, why else? Young master Qing Kang doesn't want the other four people to implicate him."

"The Ninth Prince didn't pass, nor did the Qing Yi from the Prime Minister's Estate. Neither Huo Ke from the Raging Flames Sect nor Dai Tianqian from the Dai Family passed … Fortunately, the young prince of Qing Kang is a member of the royal family. Even if the young prince did not choose to lead the other four, the emperor would definitely be happy! "

As expected, amidst the discussion, the Emperor's mood clearly rose.

As the discussion gradually died down, the emperor said loudly, "The Duke of Qing Kang's Mansion has brought honor to our royal family. Someone come, I want to reward my royal brother. He is truly well-educated!"

Just then, the guard suddenly stammered, "Reporting to Your Majesty …" The letter has not been finished. "

Hearing this, the emperor was shocked and asked in a strange tone, "There are only these few sentences in the letters in the past. Why haven't you read it all this year?" What else was in it? Could it be that Little Qing Kang's outstanding performance in the knockout stage caused him to be named and praised by the Hidden Dragon Clan officials? "

The guard shook his head but was still hesitant: "No..." The rest of the letter belonged to the Dazong Kingdom … Another participant. "

"Another contestant?"

The entire hall once again became filled with discussions.

"Aren't there only five people competing in the Hidden Dragon Gate this time? Huo Su, Qing Yi, the Ninth Prince, Dai Tianqian, the young master Qing Kang, who else could it be? "

"Could it be that the number of spots our Hidden Dragon Gate has given us has increased to six without His Majesty having the time to notify us?"

"Who is this sixth person?"

The emperor immediately waved his hand and suppressed the noise of the surrounding people. He asked, "Who is the sixth person? "Don't stutter, speak quickly."

The guard immediately clenched his teeth, steeled his heart, and said: "The sixth person is actually the grandson of Old General Chen, the Chen family's patriarch, Chen Chang You, and represents Cloud Climbing City in the knockout competition. Because he is a citizen of Da Song Kingdom, this letter mentions him!"

The crowd once again burst into an uproar. Chen Taiji also abruptly raised his head.

The Fourth Princess squinted her eyes and snorted: "The Cloud Climbing City and our Da Song Kingdom are neighbors, and from the beginning till now, no participant has ever passed through the Hidden Dragon Gate's preliminary elimination round. If you didn't mention it, you could guess that the five players from Cloud Climbing City had once again been completely wiped out, no? "

The guard shook his head and replied: "Reporting to the Fourth Princess, the letter states that Great Songcheng Kingdom's Chen Chang He represented Cloud Climbing City and chose to fight in a team battle. In the end, he successfully led the other four people from Cloud Climbing City through the elimination round. It was extremely useful! If there was no Chen Chang He, the outcome would have been different! "

With these words spoken, the entire palace hall immediately fell into a deathly silence. It was terrifyingly quiet.

The next moment, someone exclaimed loudly. Then, a wave of cries swept through the entire hall.
