Tao Qingyu, who was lying on the roof opposite, naturally couldn't hear what the second prince and Chen Dong were saying, so she could only keep exploring this way furtively.
It wasn't until the second prince Yan Heng shouted loudly that Tao Qingyu started to shiver. Just when he was wondering how he was exposed, another loud shout came: "Get out of here?!"
Tao Qingyu looked down and saw Yan Heng's face glaring angrily.
The two looked at each other.
Tao Qingyu knew that she had indeed been exposed, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and run away.
With a "whoosh" sound, a figure descended from the sky and came to Yan Heng and Chen Dong.
"Second Prince, Marshal Chen, why are you two here?" Tao Qingyu pretended to be calm and said with a smile.
Yan Heng didn't pay attention to this at all, pointing directly to the roof opposite and said: "What are you doing up there?"
"Oh, I'm up there basking in the sun. The weather today is so nice..." Tao Qingyu stretched out and even yawned on purpose.
Chen Dong and Yan Heng looked up at the cloudy sky, and both looked at Tao Qingyu with a look of "Do you think I'm a fool?"
"Hey, I was fine just now, why did I suddenly become gloomy..." Tao Qingyu looked embarrassed.
Yan Heng was too lazy to talk to him about this anymore, and pointed at Chen Dong and said: "This is the demon-slayer commander personally appointed by my father. How dare you assassinate him? Are you so brave as a bear's heart and a leopard's courage?"
"I don't……"
"Stop talking nonsense, who asked you to do this?!"
Facing Yan Heng's anger, Tao Qingyu did not dare to hide it anymore. After all, she was today because of his protection.
"It's President Gong..." Tao Qingyu lowered her head and said with a frown.
It’s actually Gong Yongnian?!
Yan Heng took a breath of cold air. He originally wanted to help Chen Dong vent his anger. As long as Tao Qingyu revealed who was behind it, he would kill that person immediately. This would be considered as betraying Chen Dong.
But Gong Yongnian is the president of the Alchemist General Union, the most respected super-god level alchemist by Yanzu!
"What's going on with President Gong? How could he do such a thing..." Yan Heng, who was still angry just now, suddenly softened a lot.
Chen Dong did not embarrass him and said directly: "President Gong and I do have some personal conflicts, so there is no need for the Second Prince to intervene."
Yan Heng also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Tao Qingyu coldly: "How does the personal grudge between Marshal Chen and President Gong affect you? Who asked you to interfere? It's really unnecessary to die a hundred times!"
"Yes...yes..." Tao Qingyu didn't dare to reply, so she could only keep nodding and bowing.
Yan Heng said to Chen Dong again: "Commander Chen, what are your plans next?"
Chen Dong said: "I'm going to go outside the city to count the troops."
When Yan Heng heard this, he immediately said: "Tao Qingyu, escort Marshal Chen to the outside of the city! If Marshal Chen is injured at all, I will take it from you!"
"Yes..." Tao Qingyu bowed repeatedly.
Although Chen Dong has never dealt with Tao Qingyu, he also knows that Tao Qingyu is a master, and there is no danger if he escorts him.
Chen Dong smiled and said thank you, while Yan Heng said carelessly: "Commander Chen, why are you being polite to me? We will be a family from now on."
The implication is that Chen Dong should be put under his command.
How could Chen Dong do it? He immediately blocked it back with neither force nor softness: "I don't dare. What kind of person is the second prince? How dare I and the second prince are a family member? I've overstepped my bounds. I've overstepped my bounds."
After bidding farewell to the second prince, Chen Dong turned around and left.
The second prince pursed his lips at Tao Qingyu, and said in a low voice but deliberately for Chen Dong to hear: "Serve Marshal Chen well."
"yes."
Tao Qingyu immediately chased after Chen Dong.
Looking at Chen Dong's back, the second prince still felt unwilling to give up, and his mind was full of thinking about how to take him down.
…
As Chen Dong walked forward, he looked for carriages left and right. As a slayer of demons, he didn't even have his own carriage, so he really didn't have a queue.
Tao Qingyu followed closely, looking at Chen Dong's back, his heart was naturally full of hatred.
He has wanted to kill Chen Dong for a long time, but unfortunately he has always been unable to succeed. In the past, Qingyun Temple blocked him, but now the second prince blocks him.
Of course he didn't dare to disobey the second prince. No matter how much hatred he had in his heart, he could only hold it in for the time being.
Chen Dong walked forward for a certain distance and suddenly stopped.
Tao Qingyu also stopped quickly.
Chen Dong turned around and said, "Master Tao, go find a carriage for me."
"..."
Tao Qingyu almost vomited blood, what did she think of him, a servant?!
But with the words of the second prince in front of her, Tao Qingyu did not dare to disobey Chen Dong. She could only quickly walk a few steps forward and came to a crossroads, trying to intercept a carriage.
There is a tailor shop at the corner of the street, and Gong Yongnian is measuring clothes here.
He and Tao Qingyu made an appointment to kill Chen Dong and meet here.
Gong Yongnian waited patiently, he believed in Tao Qingyu.
At this moment, Gong Yongnian glanced outside the door and saw Tao Qingyu stopping a carriage at the street corner.
Hey, killed?
Just as Gong Yongnian was about to go out and ask questions, he saw Tao Qingyu leading a carriage back.
Gong Yongnian went out immediately, and the tailor who was measuring his clothes followed him out with "Hey, hey, hey".
Standing at the door, Gong Yongnian saw Tao Qingyu leading the carriage to someone.
And that person is none other than Chen Dong.
Tao Qingyu looked groveling and was inviting Chen Dong to get on the carriage.
"Hey, this carriage is too high and it's not easy to get on..." Chen Dong shook his head slightly, looking like he was sighing.
Tao Qingyu understood what Chen Dong meant and cursed fiercely in her heart, but still lay down helplessly.
Chen Dong stepped forward, stepping on Tao Qingyu's back, and jumped onto the carriage.
Tao Qingyu was about to follow when Chen Dong turned around and said, "Master Tao, I'm afraid of you and I don't dare to ride with you. Just follow me outside the car."
Tao Qingyu was so angry that her cheeks were trembling, but she still lowered her head: "Yes."
Chen Dong got into the carriage, and the groom tightened the reins and shouted: "Drive!"
The carriage rushed forward with a "clack-clack" sound.
Tao Qingyu followed immediately, chasing behind the carriage like a dog.
Seeing this scene, Gong Yongnian, who was standing in front of the tailor shop, was of course completely dumbfounded.
…
There was a carriage, so it was of course very fast, but the trip to the capital was also very large, so it took a full two hours to reach the city gate.
"We're here." The groom turned around and said respectfully.
The car curtain opened, and Chen Dong walked out yawning.
He had a good sleep in the carriage just now.
At the same time, Tao Qingyu also caught up. Even though he had plenty of internal energy, running for two consecutive hours still made him slightly out of breath.
Chen Dong waved his hand at Tao Qingyu, and Tao Qingyu gritted his teeth and lay on the ground again.
Stepping on his back, Chen Dong walked down, took out a handful of gold coins from his pocket and stuffed it into the groom's hand.
"Thank you, thank you." The groom bowed repeatedly.
Chen Dong walked towards the city gate, and Tao Qingyu quickly followed.
Chen Dong turned around, patted Tao Qingyu on the shoulder and said, "Master Tao, thank you for your hard work. Your mission is completed. You can go home and rest."
Chen Dong continued to walk forward, while Tao Qingyu stayed on the spot dumbfounded.
Watching Chen Dong's back gradually disappear, Tao Qingyu's heart aroused endless anger, but there was nothing he could do no matter how angry he was. He couldn't afford to offend Chen Dong now, and he didn't dare to assassinate Chen Dong.
Go through the city gate.
Once outside the city, you can fly.
When Chen Dong dared to get up, he heard a "bang" and a person fell next to him. It was the second prince Yan Heng.
"Second Prince, why are you here?" Chen Dong was naturally surprised.
"Chen Marshal, are you leaving in three days?" Yan Heng said with a smile: "Everyone has contributed to the country, but we are enjoying the blessings in the city. I feel a little ashamed, so I want to go there with you to express my condolences to everyone."
As the second prince, Yan Heng certainly has this power.
It is even good for boosting military morale.
But for some reason, Chen Dong felt like he smelled a hint of conspiracy.
He always felt that Yan Heng was uneasy and well-intentioned.
But he couldn't refuse Yan Heng, he was the second prince.
"Okay." Chen Dong agreed.
"Then let's go." Yan Heng smiled slightly.
The two stood up together and flew towards the wild.
Chen Dong's soldiers and horses were stationed fifty miles outside the city. There were 80,000 people in total. They were recruited from various sects, families and tribes, as well as people from King Yandong and King Yanxi.
There are also 20,000 people from King Yannan waiting in the south.
Eighty thousand people is a quite terrifying number. From a distance, it looks like a large, dark area, covering the mountains and plains, overwhelming the sky.
These days, they bury pots to cook in the wild and set up camp.
"You play your cards really well!"
"Don't leave, we will fight until dawn!"
"Hurry up, I'll wait until the flowers fade..."
As we get closer and closer to these people, such voices appear one after another.
Yan Heng was naturally confused: "What do you mean, what are they doing?"
Chen Dong could only cough lightly and said, "Nothing, it's a popular game among them."
People all over the mountains and plains are playing Landlords, because there is really no technical difficulty in this game. You just need to find some pieces of paper and paint some colors. The gameplay is also very simple, but it is also extremely addictive and spreads in a few days.
Some people were fighting, some were watching, and some were arguing until their faces turned red.
Chen Dong was secretly frightened, thinking that it was a landowner fight. If he taught them bullfighting, fast running and golden flowers, would that be enough?
As Chen Dong and Yan Heng gradually flew closer, the crowd shouted: "Commander Chen is here!"
There are also people who know the second prince: "There is also a second prince!"
Everyone stood up and paid attention.
Chen Dong and Yan Heng landed together, and everyone around them shouted in unison: "Second Prince, Marshal Chen!"
When everyone calmed down, Chen Dong turned to look at Yan Heng: "Second Prince, what do you want to say?"
Yan Heng shook his head: "You are the protagonist, it's up to you."
Chen Dong cleared his throat and said loudly: "I have met with the Holy Master. He asked us to prepare and set off in three days! Within three days, the armor will be issued, and then we will rush to the south!"
Everyone immediately cheered in unison, and every one of them couldn't wait to kill the demons.
