Youzhou City was indeed different than before. It looked pretty solemn today. Because almost everybody knew that the provincial governor of Youzhou Province would be selected in White Tiger Complex today. Those who cared about this event had been gathering in pubs and teahouses or squares and parks in the city since the morning and were waiting for the first-hand news.
This was a grand event in Youzhou City, which was even more solemn than a festival.
The area within 30 square miles of White Tiger Complex became the focus of the entire Youzhou City. Numerous people were pouring towards White Tiger Complex. As a result, the troops in Youzhou City had to maintain order on many streets in case of stampede.
Soon after they left Huaiyuan Mansion, Zhang Tie had seen a light beam rushing into the sky from the direction of White Tiger Complex in Youzhou Province. Like a mirage, it drew a vast sky curtain and dyed the entire sky of Youzhou City scarlet.
As the light beam rose, the entire Youzhou City started to boil.
The sky curtain reminded Zhang Tie of the thing called movie invented by humans before the Catastrophe.
The light beam and the canopy originated from the Heavens Ball. Zhang Tie was told that the battle between clans inside the Heavens Ball could be projected into the sky by the Heavens Ball so that everyone in Youzhou City could see it.
If this was a movie, then today's fight for the position of Provincial Governor would be like a movie. I'm afraid that everyone in Youzhou City could enjoy a super action film starring a knight for free.
This was also the reason why Youzhou City was so boisterous. Such a drama attracted all the major clans in Youzhou Province to gather in Youzhou Province. Even many people from the neighboring provinces had arrived at Youzhou Province by airship and other vehicles these days. They just wanted to take a look at the Heavens Ball and those knight-level powerhouses in Youzhou Province.
As it was a free movie, anyone in Youzhou City would be able to watch it. Therefore, all the hotels in Youzhou City were fully booked these days. If there was a fee. In this world, who else could make so many powerhouse knights of major clans in Youzhou Province like to play such a big drama?
When he recalled his parents and wives who had left Youzhou City in advance, Zhang Tie felt bitter and moved. In order not to affect their performance, Dad and Mom didn't linger at all. They didn't even want to stay for two more days and left. They were dismissive of such a grand event. Zhang Tie's family's support and his parents' lifelong efforts made Zhang Tie feel complex at this moment. Additionally, Zhang Tie felt a bit excited on such a grand occasion.
At this moment, Elder Muyuan who was flying together with Zhang Tie turned around and threw a meaningful glance at Zhang Tie.
Seeing the look in Elder Muyuan's eyes. Zhang Tie recalled the words that Elder Muyuan told him that night.
Zhang Tie just slightly nodded.
For Huaiyuan Palace, this competition for the position of provincial governor of Huaiyuan Palace was of great significance. For the sake of Zhang family and himself, Zhang Tie had determined to do something.
Elder Muyuan was right. Sometimes, when it was time to show off one's talent, one should never be silent. Over these years, Zhang Yang's elder brother had been managing Jinwu Business Group in Taixia Country meticulously. He dared not enlarge the output of all-purpose medicament. He just maintained over 2 million vials of all-purpose medicament each year. Even though the supply of all-purpose medicament could not meet the demand, he dared not make a big profit. Why? Because Zhang Yang was afraid that this business was too eye-catching and Zhang Tie didn't have the power to control those who coveted it. With Huaiyuan Palace as its backer, Jinwu Business Group also developed rapidly these years. Its foundation grew firmer and firmer. Jinwu Business Group could make tens of millions of gold coins by cooperating with Long Wind Business Group each year. If this business was enlarged by 10 times, 100 times, it would be very easy for Jinwu Business Group to enlarge the output of all-purpose medicament. However, what about after making money? Could Jinwu Business Group keep it?
What elder brother Zhang Tie worried about these years was not how to make money, but how to defend it.
After Zhang Tie came back, Zhang Yang let out a sigh. After communicating with Zhang Yang privately, Zhang Yang had already intended to build a city.
At this moment, Zhang Tie felt that one person of Zhang family should stand out and bear all the storms in Youzhou Province of Taixia Country.
'Who else could it be besides me? I can't count on those brats of Zhang Clan.'
For Zhang Tie, it was not about whether he could do it or not; instead, it was about propriety.
'How can I stand out in the competition for the provincial governor of Youzhou Province without using all my trump cards; especially my most powerful trump card? This is what I should do in a proper way. '
...
Knights moved very fast in the sky. Only after leaving Huaiyuan Mansion for a short while, Zhang Tie had already arrived at White Tiger Complex.
"Ahh, a knight is coming!"
At the sight of the knight in the sky, the densely packed people on the streets near the White Tiger Complex uttered exclamations. Numerous people raised their heads and watched the knight in the sky.
As for many commoners in Youzhou City, although the number of knights in Taixia Country surpassed that of humans, there was still a huge chasm between knights and commoners. Commoners could barely see knights in their entire lives. Therefore, many people came to White Tiger Complex to watch the scene of so many knights gathering in Youzhou Province this time.
White Tiger Complex was a complex of Hua palaces and the center of power in Youzhou Province. From then on, the provincial governor of Youzhou Province who was elected today would be in White Tiger Complex and control the entire Youzhou Province.
When Zhang Tie's group arrived at White Tiger Complex, the knights of other clans had also arrived one after another. When those knights arrived, they always caused exclamations among the onlookers nearby White Tiger Complex. Perhaps it was the dream of many humans to fly in the sky. It was much more interesting to see such a person than those acrobatics on the streets of Youzhou City.
At the sight of the knight flying over, many children who were riding on their fathers' necks and watching the sky exclaimed in excitement.
"I want to fly too; I want to fly too..."
"As long as you study hard and cultivate hard, you will also fly in the sky and become a knight in the future. Do you want to be a knight?" The father who was carrying the kid persuaded him patiently.
"I want to be a knight when I grow up!"
Countless children were clapping their hands happily at this moment. Their eyes were shining. At this moment, they were determined to pursue their dreams for the rest of their lives.
This was also the reason why so many parents brought their kids here — — each kid in Taixia Country had a dream to be a knight. Which parent didn't want their kids to have a bright future? All the bachelors in Youzhou City had been crowding here since last night so that they could watch the fun or boast about it in the future. Those fathers who came here with their kids all hoped to teach their kids the most important lesson by this opportunity.
Although their father didn't promote to a knight, it didn't mean that their son couldn't promote to a knight. 'Today, I will take my kid here to see how a knight looks like and enjoy the glory of a knight. Perhaps, we could have a dragon in our family one day.'
...
Outside of the White Tiger Terrace, there was a huge square with a circumference of about a mile. The square was completely built with white marble tiles. The square was more than a meter above the ground. It was the gateway to the outside of the White Tiger Terrace. At the four corners of the square, there were white jade tiger statues guarding it, highlighting the majesty of this place. This was also where the name White Tiger Terrace came from.
At this moment, over 200,000 commoners were gathering on one side of the square of White Tiger Complex. Two rows of strong city guards of Youzhou City in iron armor isolated the White Tiger Complex from those onlookers.
Almost the moment Zhang Tie and the elders of Huaiyuan Palace landed on the White Tiger Complex had they heard a series of gasps. Closely after that, with a buzz, numerous people surged forward; however, they were stopped by the fighters on both sides of the White Tiger Complex.
"Ahh, is that young man Gu Qingyun?"
"He's too young. He's only 16 or 17 years old. How could he be a knight?"
In a split second, tens of thousands of voices had been in an uproar.
"Let me see, let me see, is there a 16 or 17 year old knight?"
Almost the moment Zhang Tie landed on the ground, he had aroused an uproar among those commoners around the White Tiger Complex. Because Zhang Tie was too young. He was more like a boy next door than a knight. As for those people who had seen Zhang Tie land on the ground, they were extremely shocked by such a young knight.
"No, he's not Gu Qingyun. Gu Qingyun is not that young. He's a knight of Zhang Clan in Yanghe Prefecture!" Someone exclaimed …
"Zhang Clan? Which Zhang Clan?"
"Zhang Clan of Huaiyuan Palace!" More and more people recognized Zhang Tie's identity …
