In the early morning, Wangyue City is full of traffic and smoke...
Vendors were doing business in a regular manner along both sides of the wide commercial street, making it lively.
Wangyue is the imperial capital of Beitang. It has the largest area in the country and is also the place with the largest population. The first impression that gives people is that it is prosperous.
A majestic mansion is located in the royal inner city. It is magnificent and magnificent. This is an ancient building. If you look closely, the cracks in the stones that have been cracked due to age are filled with flowing gold, making it look golden.
, majestic and majestic, like a shrine.
People who don't know usually mistake this place for the royal palace.
In fact, this mansion is the palace of the fourth master, Prince Jiang.
Prince Jiang is the fourth younger brother of the current king. At the age of twenty, he became the victorious general of Dabeitang. He fought in all directions, wiped out the rebels and barbarians, and made many great contributions to Beitang. After he retired, he became the most victorious general of Beitang.
He is in charge of 50% of the military power in Beitang. He is so powerful and powerful that even the prime ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government have to bow their heads when they meet. He is firmly seated as the second most powerful person in Beitang, and he is also the most valued person by Beitang Xian, the current leader of the country.
There is no one like this.
The Royal Inner City occupies most of the entire Wangyue City. Unlike the outer city, it lacks the bustle. It is quiet and majestic, with streets crisscrossing each other, and each main street is marked with a gilded central axis. That
It is the royal passage. Except for the descendants of the Jiang family, no one can use it. Even the prime minister of the court has to take a detour.
"Gululu!"
There was a huge sound of gears turning in the outer city, and a giant iron gate about fifty meters wide leading to the inner city was slowly raised. Several figures riding spirit horses roared past and headed straight for the royal inner city.
People in the city have long been accustomed to this scene. When the children of the royal family come in and out, they must open the gate and make loud noises to show the majesty of the emperor. The court officials and the like use the side door.
Nowadays, this large gate, which is about fifty meters wide, has become a major attraction in Wangyue City. When the gate is opened, the shocking force that penetrates the sky and is bursting with water is truly a man-made spectacle.
.
On this day, the huge gate opened and did not close for a long time. Because after those figures passed through the gate, several more royal chariots passed by behind. These chariots were extremely huge, like a small building. Pulling the chariot
They are all ferocious beasts that are rare to see. They are full of ferocity and look particularly frightening.
Pedestrians on the road dodge on both sides of the street like snakes and scorpions. They know that these fierce chariots belong to the fourth master, Prince Jiang, and they are very knowledgeable.
If Zhuo Yifan saw it, he would definitely laugh. Because these giant beasts look fierce, but in fact they are all gentle. As long as they can be fed, they will hardly hurt people. To put it bluntly, they are just for fun but not useful.
They can only use it to scare ordinary people.
"This is a fierce chariot. It is said that it was sent to the border area to investigate the barbarians a few days ago. Why did it come back so soon? And you are so nervous. Is something going to happen?"
"It's possible, if we follow Prince Jiang's past habits, if he wins a big victory, he will definitely bring the head of the barbarian leader, stick it on a spear, and hang it at the gate of Wangyue City for seven days and seven nights."
"Defeated? How is it possible! Prince Jiang has been Beitang's victorious general since he was twenty years old. Now he has taken over the Military Aircraft Department, controls 50% of Beitang's troops, and has countless masters under his command. And it is said that this time the prince specially sent an immortal*
*Barbarians.”
"Hush, everyone, be silent! There is something fishy about this matter. Let's discuss it here. Be careful that walls have ears. If someone from the royal family hears it, you will be punished!"
At the street corner, several street patrolmen who were having breakfast were talking in low voices, with deep uneasiness in their eyes. They had a feeling that the imperial city was about to change.
…
This team, with a total of fifteen people clearing the way, was followed by three giant chariots, which were extremely fast and rushed along the royal passage. They wanted to fly to the prince's palace immediately.
At this time, the sentry at Prince Jiang's palace waved the welcoming flag high after receiving the signal.
Boom! The door to the royal palace, as wide as a mountain, slowly opened, welcoming the group of people to enter.
Almost at the same time, this group of people rushed past side by side, with a menacing and overwhelming momentum.
When the fierce voice first sounded——
In the Qingyuan, the fourth master, Prince Jiang Nanjiang, spat out a sip of tea, stood up in surprise, stared in front of him and shouted: "What's the sound?"
Beside him, the personal bodyguard who had perfected his body quickly stepped forward and said seriously: "Your Majesty, they are back."
"Come back?" Prince Jiang frowned, and his face suddenly changed: "How could it be possible to come back at this time! It's been five days before I calculated it!" Obviously, this man has always had a thorough understanding of the conspiracy of his chess pieces.
General, he was deeply surprised by the quick return of the team he sent.
Based on his calculations, he didn't think that the team's return so quickly was a smooth one. There must be something... something went wrong.
"What happened? Who can tell me?!" Jiang Nan had a sullen face, wearing a palace dress with a cloud and dragon tattoo on it as his chest rose and fell, conveying great majesty.
After the anger passed, a dark shadow quickly appeared, hiding in the shade of a tree, and said in a low voice: "The plan failed."
This is Jiang Nan's secret guard. Before the group of people entered the door, they had already inquired about everything and came to report.
There was a deathly silence. Jiang Nan took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, gritted her teeth and said, "Where is the person!"
Under the shadow, the secret guard hesitated and uttered two words: "Dead."
"I'm talking about the group of ten people!" Jiang Nan shouted angrily with a sullen face.
The silent voice from the darkness came out again: "They are all dead...no one is left."
Jiang Nan closed her eyes tightly, clutched her chest, took a step back in disbelief, her eyes bloodshot, smashed the jade table in front of her to pieces with a slap, and roared in a low voice: "Explain!
"
The furious voice startled the personal guard, as well as the secret guard who was in the shadows and was usually calm. After a long time, the secret guard gritted his teeth and said: "After wiping out Dongshan Village...that team of people
I met people from Xixuan Village, but was raped by the immortals sent from Xixuan Village, and threw... into the spiritual fire... and was burned alive."
"Immortal?"
Hearing these two words, Jiang Nan's expression seemed to soften a lot, but it still looked like a puddle of stagnant water.
"Taoist Master..." His eyes were like stagnant water, and he turned to the old Taoist priest who stood aside for a long time and held a whisk in his hand.
The old Taoist priest rolled his eyes for a long time before he laughed arrogantly: "This man is one against ten, his skills are extraordinary, he should be on par with me."
"Ten people!" Prince Jiang was heartbroken when he suddenly lost a profitable subordinate.
"My lord, just be patient, there are only ten of them. I have many disciples, and sooner or later I can train another batch." The old Taoist priest said slowly, with a cunning look in his eyes, "Junior brother, what do you think?"
The Taoist priest in green shirt who followed the old Taoist priest said without joy or anger: "What my senior brother said is true. Your Majesty should not be silent and grieve. It is urgent to regroup before the delay."
King Jiang nodded thoughtfully, then his face became firm and he said seriously: "What the two Taoist priests said is true. But the matter cannot be ended like this. If the two Taoist priests are willing to lend a sigh of relief to me, I am willing to hand over the matter first."
Get half a piece of blood jade."
Hearing this, the two old Taoist priests first looked at each other.
Then, the older Taoist shook his fly whisk and said: "Prince, just don't worry, the immortals from the border areas are just villagers and are not allowed to go to the Tao. I will go there in person in a while, and if I can win over, I will do it for you."
The prince is trying to win over you, but if he doesn’t comply, I don’t mind giving him a ride.”
The Taoist priest in green shirt next to him also sneered: "My senior brother and I are going together, just in case. We have two swords together, and a mere villager in the mountains will never be able to resist a blow from me."
Having said this, the two old Taoist priests both smiled as if their conspiracy had succeeded. (To be continued.)
