In the next two days, there was a slight calm in Tianchi Mountain. Some of Dashang's sergeants were captured, and the rest basically left Tianchi Mountain.
The captured people made the Lantian Sect and other sects a little disappointed, because not many valuable things were found in the Dashang sergeants. Basically, they were mainly medicinal herbs, with some elixirs, but the power
Dharma and supreme treasures are all gone.
This is equivalent to catching a few mosquito legs, but the big pieces of meat fly away.
However, after the loss, all these sect generals focused their attention on the restricted area filled with strong winds. Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess of Dashang, led a group of people to be blocked here, and it was taken for granted that she would definitely have some traces on her body.
It contains some of the most important things in the Immortal Cave.
So a large number of sects gathered together and blocked the outside of the restricted area. The number of sects and people gathered at this time was at least twice as many as those stationed in front of the Immortal Cave before.
.
Although the wait-and-see method is very stupid, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate to put it here, because even if Yan Ruyu and others bring some supplies with them, they cannot persist for too long. One or two years is enough, but five or ten years?
For practitioners in the Cave Heaven Paradise, time may be the least valuable thing. As soon as they retreat, meditate, and gain enlightenment, years may fly by as soon as they open and close their eyes.
At this time, news of the Immortal Cave in Tianchi Mountain also spread throughout the Cave Heaven Paradise.
Many days later at night, on the official road outside Dashang Imperial City, several figures were speeding towards the city gate. Before the leader arrived, the sound had already reached the city gate.
"We are the bodyguards of Her Royal Highness the Princess. We have something important to report to Emperor Yan. Please open the city gate quickly..."
After two sticks of incense were burned, in a city guard room under the city gate, several of Yan Ruyu's personal guards were brought over. Their faces were full of travel and exhaustion. Since they left the blessed land of Tianchi Mountain, these people have been working day and night.
Jian Cheng rushed as hard as he could, thinking of bringing the news back to the imperial city as soon as possible and asking Emperor Yan to go to Tianchi Mountain to rescue Yan Ruyu.
After a while, two men, about thirty years old, wearing purple robes, came to the city guard room. Upon seeing this, several personal guards quickly saluted and said, "I have seen the eldest prince and the second prince..."
These are Yan Ruyu's two brothers, the eldest prince Yan Zhentang and the second prince Yan Zhenming, but they are not half-brothers.
Yan Ruyu was born to one of Emperor Yan's concubines, but these two were the biological children of the Queen.
In Dashang, there are some differences between men and women when it comes to inheriting the throne, but it has little to do with age. Generally speaking, it is just what Emperor Yan has designated. With just one sentence, who does Emperor Yan say will be the next generation?
Yan Huang, then who is it?
The Yan family of the Great Shang Dynasty is still relatively prosperous in this generation. There are several imperial brothers of Yan Ruyu's generation, but there are not many who are most advantageous in competing for the throne. In addition to the eldest prince, there is also a fourth prince who has an advantage. Then the rest
The one with the loudest voice is Yan Ruyu. This is a three-legged situation.
The royal competition is the most brutal and inhumane. In history, there are many cases of patricide and brother murder to ascend the throne, and it is no exception in Dongtian Paradise. After all, Dashang is not a small country, but a well-established one.
A powerful country and the most powerful royal family.
Now the question is, who can sit on the throne among the three pillars? It all depends on chance, because in another hundred years or so Emperor Yan's deadline is approaching, and whether he ascends to the throne or dies, he will have to designate the successor of Dashang
, but it hasn’t been decided yet. Can these princes not be anxious?
The eldest prince Yan Zhentang looked down at Yan Ruyu's personal guards with his hands behind his back, squinting his eyes and asked: "I heard that Ruyu was trapped in the blessed land of Tianchi Mountain and could not get out?"
A captain of the guard knelt on the ground and raised his head and said: "Back to the eldest prince, Her Royal Highness is indeed trapped."
"Tell me the process."
The captain of the guard frowned, but after thinking for a moment, he began to recount the previous process, until they, the soldiers, escaped from Tianchi Mountain in several ways, and Yan Ruyu was blocked in the restricted area.
"So, my sister Ruyu really found that fairy cave and returned home with a full harvest?" Yan Zhenming asked in surprise.
"Yes"
"Then what kind of treasures did she bring with her?"
The guard hesitated for a moment, turned his head a few times, and said with a little concealment: "We don't know the details. When Her Royal Highness went in, she only brought some people with her. When she came out, she didn't have time to take stock, so she followed us
Separated, I do have some elixirs and herbs here, but I don’t know what Her Royal Highness brought."
These guards are all Yan Ruyu's personal guards. Naturally, they know that the princes of Dashang are fighting hard for the throne. As Yan Ruyu's confidant, who has a good relationship with her or not, and which prince is close to her?
Very clear.
So it is obvious that there is a competitive relationship between the eldest prince and Yan Ruyu. They are not in the same boat at all. It is inevitable that the guard will hide something, and will not be stupid enough to tell everything.
Yan Zhentang then asked: "It is said that there are many sects entrenched in Tianchi Mountain. In this case, these people will definitely block Yan Ruyu completely inside. If Dashang didn't send people to go, I'm afraid her situation would be
It’s hard to say, isn’t that true?”
The captain of the guard raised his head and cupped his hands and said: "His Royal Highness, please send someone to rescue the princess quickly."
"Haha, that's natural. She is my biological sister no matter what." Yan Zhentang smiled, turned around and looked at the city guards and said, "These sergeants must be a little tired from the long journey.
You can take them to have a rest and take good care of them."
After Yan Zhentang and Yan Zhenming finished explaining, they walked out of the city guard room. Suddenly, a flash of swords flashed in the room behind them, accompanied by several people's unwilling shouts.
"My instructions, the city gates are strictly guarded, and no one with Yan Ruyu's appearance will be let go when he comes back..."
Yan Zhenming frowned and said: "Brother Emperor, the news that Yan Ruyu is trapped cannot be concealed. Even if we kill all the personal guards who have been retrieved, we will definitely not be able to hide the news. Sooner or later, the big merchants will hear about it.
"
"My father is in retreat. It's okay if he doesn't know. As for other people, it doesn't matter. If Yan Ruyu can't come back, how many people do you think will care?" Yan Zhentang said expressionlessly: "She found an immortal cave. This news
It's not a good thing for us, it's a plus, if
If she gives all the things in the cave to her father, what if he gets happy and makes some ridiculous decision? So, we can only hide it from him until the Yan Ruyu matter is completely settled.
Besides, even if my father knew about it then, there would be no way to punish us..."
