Everyone in the hall suddenly changed color, even Feng Yuanpo's eyes showed a look of surprise, and the air seemed to solidify, but soon Feng Yuanpo asked in a deep voice: "When did you arrive? How many people did you bring? Have you entered the Heavenly Palace?"

The visitor reported: "Reported to Duke Feng, he only brought five followers. Now he has arrived outside the main gate of the Heavenly Dao Hall. However, the emperor has not summoned him. Chi Liandian has already gone to the auxiliary hall."

"Oh?" Feng Yuanpo asked, "He is not ready to come to Wuping Mansion?"

"He has sent someone to pass on the message. Tomorrow is the birthday ceremony for heaven. Since the birthday ceremony for heaven is held in the Heavenly Palace, he is now in the Heavenly Palace, so it is not easy to go back and forth." The visitor said respectfully: "He said he would rest in the side palace tonight."

"Oh?" Feng Yuanpo stroked his beard and thoughtful. Then he looked sharp in his eyes and sneered: "Since Chi Liandian is on the Heavenly Palace, then Fanmen City only has Chi Bei. Chi Bei without Chi Liandian is the sharpest and not afraid of it."

"Did the father and coach think of a countermeasure?" Feng Tianxiao asked hurriedly.

Feng Yuanpo pondered for a moment and finally said, "Tianxiao, you have to go there personally, but after you arrive at Fanmen, you must do it according to my instructions. There must be no mistakes. Can you do it?"

Feng Tianxiao immediately bowed and said, "I am willing to issue a military order!"

"Okay, let's issue a military order." Feng Yuanpo said solemnly: "If something goes wrong, even if you are my son, you still need to engage in military law..."

Feng Tianxiao did not hesitate, and asked someone to bring paper and pen to make a military order. Feng Yuanpo then summoned Feng Tianxiao to approach and whispered orders. Feng Tianxiao frowned slightly, but nodded slightly. Feng Yuanpo immediately asked Wei'an to approach and whispered orders. Wei'an said respectfully: "Don't worry, Duke Feng, I am willing to follow the young commander and issue a military order in public!"

...

...

The birthday ceremony for heaven was held as scheduled.

The art troupe team that participated in the birthday ceremony of heaven had already set out to the Heavenly Palace as instructed before dawn. Many officials led by Yang Zhen from the Ministry of Rites arrived at the Heavenly Palace the day before.

The ceremony of worshiping heaven is naturally a rare event for the Qin Empire, and it is naturally the most important moment for the guards of the Heavenly Palace.

Although most people cannot easily get to the Heavenly Palace, the construction of the Heavenly Palace has not been completely completed. There are still tens of thousands of people here, and there are mixed together. Naturally, safety work needs to be greatly strengthened.

Although there is protection from the Royal Guards led by Xuanyuan Shao outside the Heavenly Dao Hall, the main force guarding the Heavenly Palace is the Hexi Imperial Guards led by Feng Polu.

The five thousand Hexi Imperial Guards were almost all transferred to the vicinity of the Heavenly Palace and stationed outside the Heavenly Palace.

In addition to officials of all sizes, many well-known figures in Hexi were also coming in this time. Even the people in Hexi could not enter the Heavenly Palace, but could still break the line and approach the Heavenly Palace. Looking at the outer wall of the Heavenly Palace, the previous regulations were that within ten miles of the Heavenly Palace, ordinary people were not allowed to approach. This rule is naturally open to the Internet on this special day today. The emperor wanted to celebrate with the people, and naturally he would send a group of troops to maintain order, beware of people with ulterior motives taking advantage of the situation, and the patrol team was greatly increased.

On the square in front of the Heavenly Dao Hall are already waving flags, Pixiu flag, Six Barge flags, and Golden Dragon flags are waving in the wind. On the vast square, eight tall platforms are actually built.

The locations of these eight platforms are also very particular, and they are built according to the directions of the gossip. Moreover, the eight platforms are four black and four white, which are very conspicuous.

When Chu Huan came to the Heavenly Palace with the Peacock Platform, he was already very impressed. Although he knew that every brick and tiles of the Heavenly Palace contained the blood and tears of the people in the world, his magical craftsmanship, besides the rest, only talking about the methods of those craftsmen, was really amazing.

The art troupe in Wuping Mansion, led by officials from the Hexi Ministry of Rites, set off from Wuping Mansion to the Heavenly Palace before dawn.

The business of this ceremony of worshiping heaven mainly falls on the Hexi Rites Department. As for the officials of the capital such as Xue Huaian, they cannot interfere in everything, and can only put forward some constructive opinions.

The protagonist who presided over this birthday ceremony for heaven was the leader of the Xuanzhen Dao Sect, the leader of the Dao of Changsheng.

In addition to the eight most conspicuous large platforms in the square, a row of wooden houses were temporarily built near the palace wall. Although they were only temporary, they were very particular and orderly.

There were wooden signs hanging on the doors of this row of wooden houses. At first, many officials and gentry present could not figure out what it was. However, when the art troupe arrived, everyone understood that it was a dressing house specially built for the art troupe. It was mainly for the birthday ceremony and festive celebration. Naturally, the art troupe was not allowed to perform. There were 36 art troupes of all sizes, including thirty-six heavenly numbers in Hetian Palace, and the thirty-six temporary houses built in the doors. The doors were marked with the name of the art troupe. Before the performance, these art troupes could change and rest. Before the performance, there would be a special person to summon them. If they did not receive the summons and walked out of the house without authorization, they would be punished seriously.

Although these art troupes are all famous, they are only inferior figures in the eyes of the world. This time, the offering of skills for the Heavenly Birth is already a great honor. However, such a group of people are of course not qualified to wander around the Heavenly Palace except for their skills.

The temporary houses of Peacock Platform are ranked last. Compared with the dozens of houses in front, the last two houses are obviously much larger. In addition to the Peacock Platform, the other one is Zhenkofeng next door.

In the huge room, there were only five people coming to Peacock Platform, and when they passed the post, they also underwent strict inspections.

Chu Huan was studying the lotus platform in the front room at this time.

Although it is a temporary building, the interior of the building is separated by wooden boards and divided into front and rear rooms, which is obviously to facilitate the men and women of each art group to avoid mixing together.

As the name suggests, the lotus platform is a lotus-shaped prop, like two lotus flowers clasping the bottoms, one side down and the other side up, and it is not very large in size. The lotus platform is obviously made of wood, but it is obviously not an ordinary wood, with a beautiful shape and extremely exquisiteness. Eight lotus petals bloom brightly, and the lotus stamens are also exquisite in craftsmanship. Chu Huan turned around the lotus platform, and the Maorenjiao smiled and said softly: "Bamboo Hero, this thing looks big, but it actually doesn't matter much. Even if you add a girl, it's very easy to lift it up."

Chu Huan laughed and said, "I'm not worried that I can't lift it up, but the lotus platform is quite narrow. Can the girl show her dancing skills in such a small place?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhu, this is the girl's specialty. If it were someone else, I'm afraid she wouldn't stand firm even if she performed on this lotus platform." Mao Renju said softly: "Bao Hero will know the girl's dancing skills at that time. But looking at this formation, we will have to wait for a long time, and it will be impossible for us to take the turn. The official of the Ministry of Rites said that we will be postponed. When it's our turn, it will take at least several hours. Mr. Zhu can rest first...!"

Chu Huan had already approached the window and looked over from a distance. He saw people coming and going on the square, mostly officials and gentry in gorgeous clothes, among which there were eunuchs and palace maids walking back and forth. At this moment, an art troupe had already appeared and went to the eight stages to start performing his skills. Chu Huan knew that today's event was numerous, and the emperor could not watch all the performances. Most art troupes were still performing for others to watch. The treatment of the Peacock Platform and Zhen Kou Feng was much better than that of other art troupes. Then it is very likely that the last performance the emperor watched was these two art troupes.

Chu Huan's eyes were like lightning, and he swept through every figure in his eyes, but found that although people came and went, he did not see soldiers patrolling. Not to mention soldiers, even those wearing weapons were missing.

Thinking of this, before entering the Heavenly Palace, they were inspected and the inspection of weapons was the most strict. No one could carry weapons by the superiors and subordinates entering the Heavenly Palace.

"Huh...!" Chu Huan glanced and his eyes suddenly stopped. Mao Renju saw him, looking at Chu Huan's gaze, and only saw a general wearing silver armor slowly walking towards the gate of the Heavenly Dao Palace on the square. Not to mention that this person was extremely conspicuous in silver armor, he was also very conspicuous in terms of his size. It was not because of how tall this person was. On the contrary, this person was extremely short, and even if he was as ordinary people, he must be half a head short.

This person did not wear weapons. Obviously, this birthday ceremony for the Heavenly Sacrifice is equal. No one can bring weapons into the Heavenly Palace. Although this silver armor general is not tall, when he walks by others, it will only look at the other person's neck. If there is a tall person next to him, it will even reach the other person's chest.

Chu Huan's eyebrows were locked, and his expression had become more serious. Mao Renju saw him and saw Chu Huan's expression, he asked in a low voice: "Hero Zhu, who is that person? You seem to know him."

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before, but we should be able to guess it."

"oh?"

"The armored style is only worn by a rank of governors at the level of the governor." Chu Huan said softly: "It is said that there are three governors who came to participate in the birthday ceremony of heaven. The total number of governors, the governor of Hujing, the governor of Anyi and the governor of Liaodong. This person is probably one of these three."

Although Chu Huan said this, he was actually sure that if nothing unexpected happened, this short silver-armored general would probably be Chi Liandian, the governor of Liaodong.

He is short, but full of momentum, and his whole body exudes a cold and harsh aura. When he walks, every step he takes is a pure military appearance.

Chu Huan knew Yuan Chongshang, who was also a military general, but since the person in front of him was not Yuan Chongshang, he could only be Chi Liandian. Chu Huan was actually wondering whether Chi Liandian would really come to attend the birthday ceremony of heaven. After all, the land of Hexi is not a good place. At this moment, seeing Chi Liandian looks like she is obviously not afraid of Hexi.
