This year's annual competition was seen as a turnaround battle by Tianyi Dong, and it was also the most anticipated competition of the year in the Tianyi Arena.
In order to attract more spectators, Tianyi Dong began to send out invitations a month before the start of the annual competition.
It also took a month for the Arena to reopen some of the venues in the Xuanyi and Yellow-Wing divisions and build all kinds of ordinary seats and VIP seats.
Tianyi Dong's invitations included the royal family, important ministers, aristocratic families, some large hunting corps, and the people in charge of the continent's top-notch hunting citadels.
These people arrived in Tianyi City at the beginning of January one after another.
Tianyi City, which was already very lively, had a large number of airships and flying magical beasts.
The day before the annual competition, Tianyi Dong brought a few subordinates to the city gate to welcome a luxurious airship that had just descended from the sky.
A pot-bellied middle-aged man came down from the airship.
He spoke with a thick Eastern Capital accent, and when he saw Tianyi Dong, he cupped his hands familiarly. "Brother Dong, I haven't seen you in three years, and your cultivation has improved."
"Left Minister is too polite. Did the East Emperor and the Empress Dowager not come together?" Tianyi Dong asked respectfully.
This time, he even asked someone to deliver the invitation to the Eastern Capital.
Although the East Capital existed in name only on the Boundless Continent, the East Capital's heir apparent was still the one and only emperor on the continent.
No matter how strong the rulers of the other five countries were, they could only be called emperors.
"Her Highness the Princess has been ill for a long time. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager were worried about her condition and didn't dare to leave, so they sent me to watch the competition." Although the Left Minister of the East Capital was a civil official, he was very familiar with Tianyi City.
The Left Minister had a luxurious courtyard in the East Capital. A few years ago, when the East Capital was still stable, the Left Minister would often bring a few beautiful concubines to Tianyi City to avoid the summer and winter.
"What, only Second Young Master is here today? Why is Su Da Guoshou nowhere to be seen? "Seeing that there were only people from Tianyi Dong around the airship, the Left Minister was a little curious.
The Minister of the Left was also a top-notch figure. He was well-versed in politics, and not only did he have connections with the Arena's Skywing Dong and the Treasure Boat's Skywing Tuo, he even had some friendly relations with the Hidden Night Pavilion's Su Daguo.
"Great National Master Su's situation this year is not very good. A few days ago, I heard that he was frightened and is recuperating in the pavilion. You're already so old, so the shock can be big or small, "the eastern half of the Skywing Wings mocked.
The Hidden Night Pavilion had caused quite a commotion recently, and it was rare for them to settle down.
"Oh, that's a pity." Prime Minister Zuo looked regretful.
In the past, when he came, Su Da Guoshou would find some fresh chicks for him to try.
"Haha, I've already prepared what Left Prime Minister wants. Come, let's go this way. Tell me about the latest news on the continent." Tianyi Dong already knew this old lecher's taste. He pulled the Left Prime Minister into the city.
"Recently, the most important thing in the Eastern Capital is the princess's marriage." Prime Minister Zuo looked worried.
"Are you talking about the marriage between Later Qin's Crown Prince Dugu Xiu and Princess Donghuang? Hasn't this matter already been decided? "Tianyi Dong also knew a little about the continent's affairs.
"It has been decided. Crown Prince Dugu Xiu has already ordered people to urge him several times. Because of this matter, the Crown Prince even refused your invitation. "Prime Minister Zuo sighed.
"It's a pity that the princess's illness has not improved. I came to Tianyi City this time to ask Great National Master Su to come with me. Perhaps he can treat the princess's illness. "
The marriage between Later Qin and the Eastern Capital had been facilitated by Prime Minister Zuo.
However, he was somewhat regretful that Later Qin's Crown Prince could not come.
He had heard that Later Qin's Crown Prince Dugu Xiu's strength was outstanding, so he wanted to use this opportunity to compare notes.
"Isn't that simple? Once the annual competition is over, you can ask Great National Master Su to go to the Eastern Capital." Tianyi Dong did not have much interest in this kind of marriage between the imperial family.
"That's right. When the time comes, just ask Great National Master Su. Second Young Master, I heard that the Tianyi Arena has been renovated. This year's annual competition will definitely be very exciting. "Prime Minister Zuo and the second young master chatted as they strode into the city.
Not long after Tianyi Dong left, Ye Beiming brought Long Huo to the city gate.
There was no superfluous expression on his face.
After a while, a very ordinary-looking merchant ship docked.
Four or five people came down from the ship.
Leading them was a boy around six or seven years old.
The boy had red lips, white teeth, and a pair of light brown eyes. He looked very lively.
Next to the boy was a young woman in ordinary clothes.
Although she was dressed normally, the young woman's temperament was not ordinary. Her face was slightly pale, clearly due to the discomfort of sitting on the empty ship for a long time.
As soon as the boy got off the ship, he looked around. When he saw Ye Beiming, his little face immediately lit up.
"Brother Ming." As if he had grown wings, the boy opened his little hands and rushed toward Ye Beiming.
Ye Beiming's handsome face was still as cold as ice.
Unexpectedly, Ye Beiming was indifferent and took a step back. "Crown Prince, you're here."
"Lord Beiming, thank you for specially coming to pick us up." The young woman looked at the boy lovingly.
These two people were the new Crown Prince of Zhou State, Ye Beicheng, and his mother, Empress Wenren.
"Brother Ming, can you not call me Crown Prince? You can call me Beicheng. Before Mother left, she said that we are visiting incognito. We can't address each other by the way we address each other in the palace." Ye Beicheng looked at his elder brother with admiration.
Ye Beiming and Ye Beicheng were seven years apart.
Before Ye Beicheng was three years old, he had never heard that he had a second brother.
He had always disliked his eldest brother, Ye Beilian, because he always bullied him.
However, a few years ago, Ye Beicheng met his second brother by chance.
His second brother was handsome and skilled in martial arts. For a boy of his age, such an elder brother was worthy of being called an elder brother.
Ye Beicheng wanted to be close to his second brother, but his second brother was very antisocial and he could never find a chance to get along with him.
After his eldest brother passed away, he became the Crown Prince, and his second brother disappeared.
This time, his mother mentioned by chance that his second brother was in Tianyi City.
Coincidentally, the second son of Tianyi City's Lord, Tianyi Dong, sent an invitation.
Ye Di of Zhou State thought that at Ye Beicheng's age, it was time to broaden his horizons. Therefore, he ordered Empress Wenren to bring the Crown Prince, Ye Beicheng, to Tianyi City.
Empress Wenren liked to keep a low profile and was unwilling to take the royal family's empty ship. Therefore, she rented an ordinary merchant ship, disguised herself as a commoner, and arrived at Tianyi City.
"I've already arranged accommodation. Please come with me, Empress and Crown Prince." Ye Beiming acted as if he did not hear and ordered Long Huo to prepare a carriage and clothes for the Crown Prince and Empress.
Ye Beicheng's little face immediately darkened.
Empress Wenren's eyes also dimmed. There was no kinship in the royal family. Could it be that Lord Beiming could not forget the past?
The two of them, one adult and one child, were sent to the carriage. The carriage rumbled forward. Ye Beiming stood on the street, his back looking exceptionally bleak.
