I really became a king.

Chapter 33: It’s tantamount to exterminating the entire family?

To Jiang Zhongshan's disbelief, Jiang Yi handed the Bullfighting Army Seal to the other party, in return Jiang Zhongshan bowed deeply.

Jiang Yi had thought about taking charge of the Bullfighting Cavalry himself, but he had to prepare for the Longmen Arena in this month, and he couldn't really leave this very important cavalry in the Prince Duan's Mansion unattended.

The only suitable candidate is Jiang Zhongshan.

"Longmen Lei..." Sitting alone in the Jingqi Hall, Jiang Yi tapped the table with his fingers, thinking about how to respond.

A little head suddenly popped in from outside the Jingqi Hall and looked around.

"How can you be so sneaky? If you have something to say, come in and tell me."

Jiang Yi looked at the green figure that was sticking its little head out and acting furtively, and said something with some amusement.

Xiangling stuck out her tongue and walked in. She was frightened by the ferocious power of her own prince today. It was not until she heard that there was no change in his tone that she pushed the door open and came in.

"My Lord, it's getting late. Would you like me to help you go to bed?"

"Why is Xiangling so considerate this time? You've never been so caring before. Aren't you usually asleep at this time?"

Jiang Yi joked that this was just a delicate and naive girl. Although she had served beside him for the past two years, she was only concerned with eating and playing, and had not entered the role at all. Jiang Yi did not care about these things, but today she suddenly entered the role of a personal maid.

Xiangling was a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and tugged at the corner of her clothes, whispering, "It was Sister Wan'er who taught me that a personal maid shouldn't just play by herself..."

"Okay, let's keep it the same as before. I'll call you if I need anything."

Xiangling shook her little head like a rattle and said sweetly, "No, no, I will definitely serve the prince well in the future."

Jiang Yi smiled and didn't care. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, go and have a rest. You don't have to serve me here."

Xiangling said "Oh" and turned to leave. Before she walked out of the Jingqi Hall, she yawned several times and her eyes were a little bleary.

"By the way, go to Tingtao Pavilion and tell the princess that I have something to do tonight and won't be over." Jiang Yi remembered something and gave another order.

After that, Jingqi Hall fell into silence again. Jiang Yi was silently thinking about the matter of Longmen Arena. He always felt that it would not be that simple.

He was not worried about the Longmen Tournament in a month, otherwise he would not have said those words to Shangguan Bing.

Since it is an ancestral system, there must be mature rules.

Jiang Yi’s actual age this year is only seventeen, but because he has received everything from Jiang Zhongbao, he should be nineteen.

According to the rules handed down from Longmen Arena, the challenger can only be one year older than the challenged. One month later, Jiang Yi's opponent was only twenty years old at most.

Twenty years old, Jiang Hai, the eldest son of Prince Su Jiang Lin, is just twenty years old this year. He is one of the most talented people in the Dali royal family. Two years ago, his martial arts skills were at the peak of the Stream Realm.

Of course, this is only official news. The other party’s true level of cultivation is likely to be concealed. After two years, it is very likely that he has reached the fourth level of martial arts.

Jiang Yi is now in the fourth level, Lake Water Level. He is confident that he will not lose to anyone.

And according to the rules, Jiang Yi only had one opponent, and he only had to fight once. His opponent had to go through layers of battles and be selected, and only the final winner was qualified to challenge him.

"What is hidden here?" Jiang Yi always felt that this Longmen Arena was a little too simple. Could it be that they were so sure that they could defeat Jiang Zhongbao? Although Jiang Zhongbao's talent was not as good as Jiang Hai's, due to his own opportunities, his cultivation was not much worse than Jiang Hai's.

This fellow was arrogant and domineering before, and never knew how to hide his cultivation level. What his cultivation level was was well known in the imperial capital.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report." Another voice came from outside the door. It was Lu Fan.

"Come in." Jiang Yi put away his thoughts, "What's the matter?"

Looking at the first confidant in front of him, he felt quite satisfied. He was smart and tactful, and had good talent. He was about to break through to the third realm in his twenties. Even if he was placed in the Dali royal family, he would definitely be in the upper-middle level, and would definitely be a great help to him in the future.

"Your Highness, just now, the Queen Mother officially announced the decree: the Dragon Gate Contest in a month will not only be limited to the direct royal family. No matter whether it is a branch or a distant branch, as long as the ancestors are of the blood of the Dali royal family, they can participate in the competition. The winner can not only inherit the title of the Prince of Duan's Mansion, but will also be granted a powerful military position..."

The Qilin Hall fell into silence for a short time, and soon there was an angry shout:

"This is too much!" The anger that Jiang Yi had suppressed in his heart completely erupted. This was the first time he showed such anger since he traveled through time.

There are generally two situations in which a "Dragon Gate Challenge" is established. The first is when there is no heir. The second is when there is a descendant, but the descendant is neither talented nor virtuous and is not qualified to inherit the glory of the direct royal family.

Only direct descendants of the royal family can compete for these two types of dragon gate competitions; other side branches and distant branches are not eligible.

The Prince Duan's Mansion belongs to the second category, which means that the descendants of Prince Duan are both talentless and immoral, which is already a great shame.

But now, these two types of Dragon Gate Challenge are useless, and the third type of Dragon Gate Challenge was chosen instead.

It has been thousands of years since the founding of the Dali Dynasty, and this third type of Dragon Gate Tournament has only been held once, because the opponent committed an unforgivable crime and angered the emperor at that time.

The emperor ordered the establishment of a third type of Longmen Arena. As long as one's ancestors have the blood of the Dali royal family, anyone can participate in the competition, and it will be a round-robin battle, an endless round-robin battle.

Facing this kind of Dragon Gate Challenge, the challenged has no chance of winning. After defeating the first one, there will be a second, a third... even the hundredth... the thousandth. As long as someone challenges you, you must accept the challenge.

This is the first cruel thing.

What's even more cruel is that if Jiang Yi enters this kind of dragon gate arena, he cannot kill any challenger, but any challenger can kill him. Failure means death.

The last cruel thing is that if Jiang Yi dies in the ring and there are still challengers behind him, then the remaining descendants of Prince Duan will have to take over, and all of them will die in the ring.

It is called the Dragon Gate Challenge, but in fact it is a disguised form of the execution of the entire family, and it is an extremely humiliating and cruel execution of the entire family!

"Witch!"

"You are unworthy of being a mother!"

Jiang Yi cursed endlessly without any concealment. What kind of hatred and grudge was this? It was so vicious. This was not just about coveting the family property, this was about exterminating the lineage of Prince Duan in the utmost humiliation!
"After all, Prince Duan Jiang Lie is his biological son. Even if he is no longer favored, even a tiger will not eat its own cubs."

Jiang Yi couldn't understand why the other party was so vicious, or was there some secret that he didn't know? But according to the memory of the previous life, all this evil did not happen.

Although except Jiang Zhongbao, all the other descendants of Prince Duan lived worse than pigs and dogs, they still survived in the end. However, they could not even protect their own wives and daughters, so perhaps it would be better for them to be dead.

"what should I do?"

Jiang Yi knew that it was time to make a decision: fight or flee?
