"So we have reason to suspect that the Ninth Prince's move is to pave the way for his brother, because you should also know how important the position of Boyang City is! If Boyang City is controlled by the Sixth Prince, then his men
The soldiers can easily set out from Oolong City and reach any city under the rule of the third prince, because Boyang City, as the bridgehead, has changed its banner."
Yu Lei sighed and said seriously: "So the third prince gave me a secret order, which is to make Liu Peng the governor of Boyang City!"
"ah?"
Liu Xing looked at Yu Lei with a blank expression. He didn't expect that he could become the governor of Boyang City at this time.
"Uh, Brother Yu, are you kidding me? Let's not forget that the current governor of Boyang City has a false position, because Boyang City is still the domain of the city lord, and I remember that Boyang City itself has a governor, right?" Liu Xing
asked in confusion.
Baihecheng on the side nodded and said: "Yes, Boyang City has always had a governor waiting for an opportunity, and I remember that he was sent by the new Dragon Emperor, so would it be a bit arrogant for the third prince to do this?
Dislike?"
Yu Lei smiled, shook his head and said: "Don't worry, the governor of Boyang City is just a decoration, because everyone knows that as long as nothing unexpected happens, the lord of Boyang City will not be replaced, so the lord of Boyang City
The prefect is a false position among the false posts! Therefore, the new Dragon Emperor arranges people who do not want to reward, but have to reward, to take this idle position. Therefore, the current governor of Boyang City is just a loser, and has never thought about taking over the Bo Yang City.
Yangcheng; Although under normal circumstances, the third prince cannot arrange another governor of Boyang City, of course he can do so in an emergency, so the third prince now wants you, Liu Peng, to be the governor of Boyang City.
The governor of Yangcheng!"
Although Liu Xing really wanted to recite a poem at this time, when he thought that the respectable elder had gone far, he could only sigh, "If this is the case, then I would rather obey the order than respect you, but I am here."
Before this, I was just an ordinary doctor, so I would like to ask Brother Yu to give me some pointers if I don't do well."
"That's natural, but I believe in your ability, Liu Peng, and your brothers."
Yu Lei changed the topic and said seriously: "But you should also know that although you are already the governor of Boyang City, you cannot reveal your identity until a critical moment, let alone go to Boyang City to take up the post, so now you
You can make some preparations, but don't make the matter known to everyone; when things really come to that point, Liu Peng, you will take people to Boyang City to replace Guo Er. At that time, the third prince will also send elite troops to help you complete it.
Mission! Of course, the third prince will reward you with some things later, such as various weapons and armor."
After hearing Yu Lei's last sentence, Liu Xing immediately thought of the iron sword he found.
"I understand, but there is one more thing I want to ask Brother Yu, that is, can you recognize the scrap iron sword used by the new Dragon Emperor? Today we found a cave while searching the wine ape's lair.
, and then we found a rusty iron sword inside. As a result, the rust was automatically peeled off after it saw the light of day again; most importantly, we found that the coat of arms on this iron sword was the one used by the new Dragon Emperor when he was young.
The one-horned bull emblem was passed by, so we combined the story of the new Dragon Emperor and the scrap iron sword to suspect that this iron sword is that scrap iron sword."
As Liu Xing spoke, he placed the scrap iron sword in front of Yu Lei.
Yu Lei raised his eyebrows, looked at the iron sword that had rusted again, and said, "Well, didn't you say that this iron sword has been automatically rusted? Why is it still looking rusty now?"
"The thing is, we suspect that this iron sword still has a scabbard, and this scabbard has not been found yet, so the iron sword rusted again after leaving the range of the wine ape's lair; but we have roughly determined
The position of the scabbard, because the iron sword will sense when it is near the scabbard, so we can determine the approximate position of the scabbard and how far away it is through different reactions."
Liu Xing explained: "But because there are really dense trees near the wine gorilla's nest, it will be difficult to dig it out for a while, so we can only wait for another day or two until the logging team comes in and then we can start.
"
Yu Lei nodded, picked up the iron sword and looked at it carefully: "The style of this iron sword is indeed exactly the same as the scrap iron sword made by the new Dragon Emperor back then. They are both relatively easy to make, and the new Dragon Emperor used to use it.
The art of scrap iron sword does not have high requirements for actual combat, so the scrap iron sword does not have an open edge, and the same is true for this iron sword; as for the unicorn heraldry, it was indeed used by the new Dragon Emperor in the early days
The pattern, but the problem is that those things with the Unicorn Emblem printed on it have long been destroyed and lost. In short, no one except the new Dragon Emperor himself knows what the real Unicorn Emblem looks like."
"After all, the new Dragon Emperor has only used the unicorn emblem for no more than two years, that is, he used it more during the period of apprenticeship, so he actually printed it on scrap iron swords and a few personal items.
The heraldry of a unicorn, and sometimes such a pattern would be drawn on letters to family members; as a result, the scrap metal sword fell into the river, and the few remaining personal belongings had long been abandoned and packed in the bottom of the box, and
It is not impossible that those letters were burned together, because the house where the new Dragon Emperor once lived has been burned down many times over the years, and was even razed to the ground by the enemy, so those things with the unicorn emblem
They have all been destroyed by default.”
Yu Lei put down the iron sword and continued: "So now, except for the new Dragon Emperor himself, no one knows what the one-horned cow heraldry looks like. I only know that it is probably a cow with a broken horn. As for which side of the horn is broken?
I’m not sure about the horns, but someone who had a good relationship with the New Dragon Emperor when he was a child once said that he remembered that the cow who had a good relationship with the New Dragon Emperor had its right horn broken, and only the tip of the horn was broken.
Therefore, the antiques on the market today that are said to have the unicorn heraldry are in the form of a bull's head without the right horn."
Liu Xing thought for a while and said with some confusion: "If I remember correctly, the unicorn emblem on this iron sword has no left horn, and most of it is broken off."
"oh?"
Yu Lei's eyes lit up and he said seriously: "That's right, the heraldry style I just mentioned is wrong! Because the new Dragon Emperor saw someone using the unicorn heraldry to deceive people, so he specially found one
A childhood friend released this fake heraldry style, so that the counterfeiters could be led astray. As for the specific style of the unicorn heraldry, although the new Dragon Emperor did not explicitly state it, the third prince and other royal members had actually seen it.
Over that cow! Because the cow had a good relationship with the new Dragon Emperor, the family kept it. Later, after the new Dragon Emperor raised his army, the cow was specially sent to the countryside to be raised. Therefore, the third prince
They had seen the old one-horned cow, so they were sure that the one-horned cow had lost most of its left horn."
"Oh, then maybe this iron sword is actually the sword of the new Dragon Emperor?" Baihecheng said with some excitement.
Yu Lei nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, judging from the current situation, this iron sword may indeed be the legendary scrap iron sword! Because judging from the position where the scrap iron sword fell into the water, it
It is indeed possible that it will be washed into the nearby river and then be obtained by the wine gorilla! And you also know that the existence of the Emperor's Qi can indeed give some otherworldly abilities to the items used by the new Dragon Emperor, so this iron sword
It can automatically remove rust, which is quite satisfactory.”
As soon as Yu Lei finished speaking, he suddenly flicked his wrist, and the square table turned into a five-sided table.
That's right, Yu Lei directly used this iron sword to cut off a table corner.
"It's interesting. This rusty and uncut iron sword can cut off a table corner so easily. It's really incredible."
Yu Lei said with a face of surprise: "So even if this iron sword is not the legendary scrap iron sword, it should still be a magic weapon! So Liu Peng, what are you going to do with this iron sword?"
The show is here!
Liu Xing replied without hesitation: "Of course I will give this iron sword to His Highness the Third Prince! Because if this iron sword is really a scrap iron sword, it can be regarded as returned to the original owner, and it can also be given to the Third Prince.
The prince brings other benefits; if this iron sword is not a scrap iron sword, it can play a greater role in the hands of the third prince, and this can be regarded as our real meeting gift to the third prince."
Yu Lei looked at Liu Xing with a "cowardly" expression, nodded and said: "In that case, I will thank you on behalf of the third prince first. I think the third prince will like this gift very much."
"Then I'll be relieved." Liu Xing said with a smile.
"But isn't this iron sword still missing a scabbard that hasn't been found? So let's keep it here for the time being. After the second batch of rewards from the third prince is delivered, I will arrange for someone to send the sword back."
Yu Lei said with a smile: "Liu Peng, you really surprise me every time. I really didn't expect you to find such an iron sword..."
Before Yu Lei finished speaking, he saw Liu Xing taking out a token.
After seeing the pattern on the token, Yu Lei's expression suddenly became serious, "Okay, now you have successfully made me surprised from surprise! Because you know that the pattern on this token represents
What?"
Seeing this, Liu Xing immediately became serious, "I don't know, this token was dug out from near the Iron Sword, so we thought this token was unusual, so we brought it back to study it."
Yu Lei nodded, picked up the token and looked at it carefully. After a while, he put it down, "Yes, this token is the shadow guard token left by the previous prince!"
The former prince?!
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows. Although he knew that this token was not simple before, he did not expect that it could be related to the former prince.
Seeing that Liu Xing and others were full of curiosity and confusion, Yu Lei explained: "Although the former prince was quite incompetent, his control of the situation amazed even the new Dragon Emperor.
Before the world was in chaos, the prince of the former dynasty had already noticed something, so he secretly left a lot of back-ups for himself. Even his father didn't know about these back-ups! For example, the shadow guard I just mentioned was the former dynasty's prince.
The prince formed his own private guard. It is said that these shadow guards are all orphans without fathers and mothers, so the former prince is both their lord and their father to them, so these people's loyalty to the former prince is unquestionable."
"This seems a bit outrageous to me, because the former prince started training these shadow guards twenty years in advance, and they played a role just when the former prince needed them most, so the new dragons of that year
The emperor almost fell into the hands of these shadow guards; although the former prince was uneducated, he was quite familiar with some messy things. For example, the pattern on this token is named Greek letters, and here
The Greek refers to a tribe in the west that has disappeared. This Greek tribe used to be quite powerful, but because of its prowess in the forest, it was wiped out by other surrounding tribes."
"However, the former prince did not know where he gathered a group of defeated soldiers from the Greek tribes, and asked them to teach the Shadow Guards how to use Greek letters to communicate, so the Shadow Guards relied on these Greek letters to transmit information and identify people.
Friend or foe, in short, although we know the existence of the Shadow Guards now and have always wanted to catch them all, the result is that the results are ineffective because we cannot decipher these Greek letters; and over the years, we have discovered more than ten different
We have only deciphered one-third of the meanings of the Greek letters, including the trident on this token, which means two words - assassin."
"assassin?"
Liu Xing frowned and said: "If nothing else happens, this token should have been dropped near Tianshui Town more than ten years ago, and then the wine orangutan or other monkeys were taken away, so I doubt that it was
The town of Sweetwater was burned to the ground because of this token, and it became history... But I remember that more than ten years ago, there shouldn't have been any major incidents around here, right?"
Yu Lei thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, the Shadow Guards have indeed not made any big moves in recent years, and no important people have had any accidents, but the problem is that the importance of this pattern token to the Shadow Guards can be ranked
Entering the top three, we only got one piece before! You must know that the shadow guards have been scattered in various corners under the arrangement of the previous prince. They usually only recognize tokens but not people, so if this token disappears
If so, then the shadow guard who lost the token can indeed take a huge risk and turn Sweetwater Town upside down."
