At the gate of Nanyufu City.
The official road was busy with traffic and people coming and going.
People passing by stretched their necks and looked curiously at the scene on the top of the city.
A handsome man in white robes was surrounded by a group of soldiers.
It was Zhao Huai who was teleported here by the teleportation talisman.
"This is an important area of the city gate, don't retreat!"
The leading goalkeeper wearing cyan armor faced him with a stern tone and a solemn expression.
It was as if Zhao Huai had committed something big.
But in fact, Zhao Huai did commit a big taboo.
Because Nanyu Mansion is a first-class big city in the Jiangnan area, public security is of paramount importance, so identification is required for entry and exit.
This is very similar to the ID card of later generations, which is a kind of certificate to live in Nanyu Mansion.
If there is no proof that Nanyu Mansion is settled, outsiders who want to enter Nanyu Mansion need to be searched and interrogated.
You can only enter after a search, which is the same as the imperial city of Daxia.
One is to prevent demons from entering the city, and the other is to be wary of repeat offenders from the imperial court, such as demon cultivators who are wanted by the sect.
And Zhao Huai appeared out of thin air on top of the city, and his identity suddenly became suspicious. He looked like one of those gangsters who didn't have identification, didn't go through the main entrance, and wanted to smuggle in.
Facing the cross-examination and interception, Zhao Huai was also very unjust and said helplessly:
"Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings."
He can't say that he was chased by a demon and then teleported here, right?
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is too ridiculous.
"Misunderstanding? I want to know how to misunderstand?" The goalkeeper in green armor crossed his chest and raised his thick eyebrows.
It seems reasonable, but in fact he is ready to take down Zhao Huai.
"All you need to know is that I'm not a gangster."
Zhao Huai glanced at the soldiers around him and said seriously.
He found that these soldiers guarding the city were not ordinary people. They were all carefully selected. They were all tall and broad, with a faint murderous look on their faces. They were obviously ruthless soldiers who had been on the battlefield and had seen blood.
This general guarding the city alone has the cultivation level of the early stage of Qi training.
Even so, defeating them is just a matter of raising one's hand.
But this is sin plus one.
It is a serious crime for a monk to use force to violate the prohibition.
Killing ordinary people is a capital crime.
The blacklist of local sects at the conference is commonly known as the must-kill red name.
If the local sect cannot solve the problem, it will be reported to the immortal sect.
This is when the secular gatekeepers take action.
The Netherworld Old Devil is this kind of person. He has been on the blacklist for a long time and is considered the number one person. Few people can kill him.
Zhao Huai didn't want to cause too much trouble, so naturally he wouldn't kill anyone.
If he remembered correctly, Mr. Song once said that Nanyu Mansion was where Dayan's old troops were stationed.
It developed into a dungeon in Dayan.
As long as you find them, there will be no trouble.
"excuse me."
After Zhao Huai figured it out, he said something, and the sea of consciousness released a spiritual power, shocking it.
The surrounding soldiers and leading generals all felt an invisible force penetrate into their brains.
It gave them an unbearable headache and a buzzing brain.
The body is all crooked.
Zhao Huai stopped staying, jumped up, and fell from the city gate at an extremely fast speed.
Suddenly he got into the crowd and disappeared.
After a while.
The leading general came to his senses. After taking a closer look, he realized that the figure in front of him was gone. He immediately shouted:
"No, he's a monk!"
"Quickly, report it to the Protector and the sect's guests, saying that it was a monk who broke in!"
Local sects will set up guest ministers in nearby large cities to prevent this situation from happening.
The streets in Nanyu Mansion are much wider than those in Jinzhou, and can accommodate three carriages. The road is smooth and smooth with the addition of crushed waste from the spiritual mine purification.
A blacksmith shop on the roadside.
Sitting inside was a strong and muscular man with bright eyes, a strong back, a steel beard on his face, and a pair of strong shoulders full of criss-crossed muscles.
Opposite him sat a young scholar, wearing a dark scholar's shirt, a square scarf on his head, and a smile on his lips.
There was a pair of teacups placed between the two of them, with steam rising from them.
"Grandpa asked me to send a letter, saying that he wanted the general to reorganize his troops and horses to deal with the upcoming changes. At the same time, this is also an order from His Highness the Crown Prince."
"General, now is the time to tell them the news about His Royal Highness."
This is what the scholar in the ink shirt said.
The strong and strong man held a white paper in his hand, with a serious look on his face. He looked at the words on it and nodded while reading:
"Right now, tigers and wolves are everywhere outside the country. The new emperor of Daxia killed a group of leading ministers because of bad news about the border war. This has made people panic. I wonder how long Daxia can last."
He raised his head, a pair of tiger eyes shining brightly.
"In less than half a year, Great Xia will inevitably fall apart. With the fire of the foreign tribes in the north, even if we don't want to see the people suffer, we have to admit that it will indeed be a good time for me, Great Yan, to restore our country."
"In order not to expose the news, I have not told the news about His Royal Highness to my brothers."
The big man sighed.
"It would be great if the Crown Prince was here. This is the only regret. It would be great if His Highness the Crown Prince could come in person and boost the morale of my good brothers."
The scholar in Confucian shirt smiled slightly and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, General Tiger. My grandfather said that His Royal Highness is always here. It's just that he can't show up for the time being because of his cultivation. In time, when the Great Flame is revived, he will definitely be able to stand beside me." Waiting for you."
The scholar's name is Song Zhishu, and he is the grandson of Song Heqing, the former prime minister of Dayan.
When Dayan was overthrown, Song Zhishu's father, as the Minister of Humerus at that time, died for his country.
And he himself fled with his grandfather and headed south.
The Song family is a Confucian and Taoist family with a scholarly family background. Three generations were officials in the same dynasty.
Under the influence of his grandfather, Song Zhishu had deep feelings for Dayan.
At the same time, he also inherited his father's last wish.
Reverse summer and return to inflammation.
"hope so."
Having said this, the strong man's eyes still showed a bit of worry.
"What is General Tiger worried about?"
Song Zhishu saw his expression and said calmly.
The person in front of me is the famous Great Yan general, Hu Yunjiao.
Over the years, if Dayan's old tribe had not been protected by Hu Yun Jiao, I am afraid that it would not have been able to preserve so much vitality.
They are good at overall planning and using classics to govern the country.
But when it comes to leading troops in war, it is natural that General Tiger takes action.
In the Battle of the Southern Tianqi, Huyunjiao occupied a heavy city with only 30,000 people, blocking the 300,000 troops led by General Daxia, forcing Daxia to resort to borrowing waterways and making surprise attacks late at night.
Even if he loses in the end, General Tiger can't be blamed.
Because the navy commander at that time was negligent in his duties and mediocre and incompetent, Daxia was allowed to cross the river and the enemy moved northward.
Otherwise, it is unknown whether the entire army of Daxia can cross the river and destroy Great Yan.
Later I found out that the Navy Commander was promoted through bribery.
He is totally a pig teammate.
What is certain is that General Tiger's strength is beyond doubt.
Hu Yunjiao picked up the tea, looked at the tea cup, thought for a while, and said: "Three years ago, the prince had a very dissolute temper. He had no regard for national affairs and only cared about pleasure. He was just a mediocre person. But now, Mr. Song He said that the prince has transformed and become extremely calm. He is completely different from the other two people. I wonder, can a person really change in three years? Or is he still the same person as before? "
"The general is worried about whether the prince is determined to help Dayan?"
Seeing the other party's expression, Song Zhishu quickly understood.
General Tiger is a cautious and meticulous person.
It’s not surprising to have such thoughts.
Hu Yunjiao nodded and said: "Yes, I carry not only my own life, but also the lives of my brothers below, which is tens of thousands of lives, so every move must be carefully considered."
When he first received the news of the recovery of Dayan's national fortunes, he was certainly very excited and happy.
But after you calm down, think about it carefully.
The fact that the prince did not go to Nanyu Mansion was a sign of waiting and seeing.
Song Heqing was dedicated to serving the country and the people, and it was inevitable that he would be subjective when looking at people.
It is still unknown what kind of person His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is.
It wasn't that he was afraid of death, but that he couldn't let go if he didn't know His Highness the Crown Prince's attitude for a day.
No matter what, his loyalty to Dayan never changed.
Even if the prince is still the playboy, he will devote himself to Dayan's career and fight until he grows old.
After being inspired, it is even more important.
It's bloodshed, it's sacrifice.
How to make every drop of blood retain the most value is also very important.
Even if you die, you must die well.
At this time, a boy dressed as a clerk ran into the blacksmith shop.
After coming in, he knelt down and clasped his fists: "General, there are monks in the city causing trouble. Wang Duhu has been defeated. I came here to report."
Hu Yunjiao raised his head covered with thick steel beard and murmured: "Monk? This shouldn't be the case. It is a serious crime to use force to violate the law. Who dares to be so presumptuous?"
This kind of thing rarely happens a few times a year.
If a monk breaks the rules with force, he will be punished by the sect.
Ordinary casual cultivators who want to confront the sect are no more than wishful thinking.
No one could be that stupid.
"It can't be someone sent by the imperial court."
Song Zhishu also felt strange.
In other words, the entire Nanyu Mansion is Dayan's territory.
Black and white take it all.
Whether it is bandit gangs or government merchants, there are people in Dayan who control them.
Recently, the new emperor of Daxia has been reorganizing the government and conducting a major blood change, and he has also set his sights on Nanyu Mansion.
This new emperor is suspicious and moody by nature. He will send imperial envoys to sneak into various major states and counties to investigate this and that.
Usually no information is given in case nothing is found, so it cannot be ruled out that the Daxia court sent people to test Nanyu.
"I gonna go see."
Hu Yunjiao said in a deep voice, and then opened his rough hands.
A breath of foundation-building realm vibrated.
There is an orange mana glow flowing in the palm.
Next to the hot steel furnace, an armor shook slightly.
The arm guards, helmet, shoulder armor, and chest all flew over and were assembled on Hu Yun Jiao's body.
Tiger shoulders in silver armor, helmet with red tassel.
Finally, there is a dragon head spear.
With a "ding" sound, Huyun Jiao caught it in his hand.
The iron plate on the helmet was lowered.
It looks like a golden tiger face, only revealing a pair of gloomy eyes.
A boy led the way, and Hu Yunjiao quickly opened the door and followed.
Nanyu Mansion
The center of Yanxing Street.
All the people in this street, including the surrounding streets, have been dismissed, and there is no one on the street.
"Ta-ta!"
The violent sound of horse hooves sounded.
One after another, the bloody horses galloped through the streets.
Sitting on the horse were tall and burly sergeants, all lined with white clothes and wearing bloody jade armor on the outside. They were extremely well-equipped.
He holds a sharp spear, a crossbow at his waist, and a shield hidden in front of his horse.
Soldiers and horses surrounded the streets.
In the center, two people were facing each other.
A middle-aged man, wearing Xue Lin armor and a red cloak on his back, was obviously a general.
The other person was wearing a white robe, with his hands behind his back, and his expression was as usual.
It was Zhao Huai who sneaked into the city.
He looked at the more and more soldiers and horses gathering around him and was speechless for a while.
He had just come in fine, looking for Ichiban Dayan's base camp, but before he could wait, he was surrounded.
When Song Heqing parted ways with him, he specifically left his contact information.
Did you say you were going somewhere?
Before he could find it, he was surrounded.
He was targeted as early as when he entered the city.
This targeting refers to spies such as secret whistles and eyes.
Zhao Huai's perception is very keen.
Every step he took, someone was watching.
Not only staring at him, but others too.
Every move was watched.
Those secret sentries are well-trained and disguise themselves as ordinary people. You can't tell them unless you look carefully.
Not long after entering the city, Zhao Huai discovered it.
It shows that the underground forces in the prosperous Nanyu Mansion are so thoughtful.
There is always someone watching out for something.
After thinking about it carefully, he should be someone from Dayan's old department.
In order to save his life, his nerves cannot be relaxed for a moment.
Compared with my life in Jinzhou, it is really different.
Zhao Huai looked at the more and more soldiers and horses gathered around him. They were all extremely brave and well-organized. They were definitely a powerful force. In future generations, their equipment would be at the peak of the cold weapon era.
In his memory, these seemed to be Dayan's soldiers and horses.
There is an army under Dayan that is capable of conquering and fighting, named Dayan Dragon Riders.
Everyone wears blood-coloured jade armor, with dragon horses under their crotches. They carry out orders and prohibitions. The establishment has been in place for more than a hundred years.
Although the flag has been changed, the appearance is generally the same.
In other words, the general in front of him is also a member of Dayan.
Ordinary monks would be helpless if they were intercepted by such a large army.
But it is still somewhat difficult to trap the Foundation Establishment monks.
Facing this posture, Zhao Huai felt a little bit dumbfounded.
I really don’t know whether to be happy or sad.
Fortunately, Dayan's team is really not weak.
Sadly, these guys are now dealing with themselves.
After Zhao Huai thought about it, he said calmly to the middle-aged general in front of him: "I want to see your general. I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it if the matter becomes serious."
The middle-aged general was unmoved and said coldly: "What is your identity and what qualifications do you have to see the general?"
Zhao Huai held his head and sighed:
"It's really hard to get enough of it."
"May I have your name."
Zhao Huai stared at the other party with deep eyes.
The chest of the middle-aged general resonated, and he said in a loud voice: "I am the Protector of the Left Army of Nanyu Prefecture. I will not change my name when I am in office, and I will not change my surname when I sit down. I am Wang Meng."
"Wang Meng, right? Very good. I will remember you."
Zhao Huai nodded.
Wang Meng frowned and said in a deep voice:
"If you are an imperial envoy of the imperial court, you can reveal your identity so that we can rest assured instead of being frozen here like you are now."
He made up his mind that if he was an imperial envoy, he would kill him and bury him alive, pretending not to know anything.
Zhao Huai shook his head and said calmly: "I am not a gangster demon cultivator, nor am I an imperial envoy."
Wang Meng looked confused and asked, "Then who are you?"
Zhao Huai put on a majestic look, took a step forward, and wrote lightly:
"I am Zhao Huai."
Zhao Huai?
What a familiar name.
Wang Meng muttered.
Suddenly, he thought of someone.
A long dead man.
Wang Meng glanced at Zhao Huai and said suspiciously: "Are you the Prince of Dayan?"
This news was heard by the soldiers of the surrounding Great Flame Dragon Riders.
It immediately caused a wave of thunder!
Many Dayan officers had different expressions and were talking a lot.
"What? The person in front of me says he is His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"real or fake?"
"No way, there is no news at all. The general never said anything."
"If it is true, then His Royal Highness is too young. I am older than him."
When the generals are discussing.
"You mean you are His Royal Highness, how can you prove it?"
A thunderous voice came from the end of the street.
Zhao Huai looked up.
A tall figure with a golden tiger face slowly walked over.
When the soldiers of the Great Flame Dragon Riders saw the visitor, they all saluted on their horses with solemn expressions:
"Meet the general!"
"Meet the general!"
Even Wang Meng, who was full of arrogance just now, trotted over, bowed his hands and said:
"Meet the general."
Hu Yunjiao nodded lightly, looked at Zhao Huai, and said with deep eyes:
"It's empty talk. How can you prove the identity of the prince? If you just talk about it, I'm afraid it won't be convincing enough."
Hearing this, Zhao Huai smiled lightly.
"In that case, I won't hide it anymore."
From the storage ring, he took out a jade seal engraved with a white dragon.
It really came out after a long time.
This thing has been here for so long, and finally it's time to take effect.
This is not only a jade seal, but also the ancestor of the Great Yan Empire!
If necessary, it can be transformed into a prismatic mirror.
Now it looks like a jade seal.
Zhao Huai looked at the white jade dragon seal in his palm. There were cinnabar marks underneath and four words written on it——
Those who receive orders from heaven will live long and prosperous lives.
"The Great Flame Jade Seal is here! Your Majesty is here in person, why don't you kneel down?!"
this moment.
Zhao Huai raised the white jade dragon seal high and said loudly.
A terrifying coercion burst out from his body like a vast ocean.
Rich mana is injected into the dragon seal.
An invisible wave of energy centered on Zhao Huai.
Swinging for it, it swept across all directions.
"Roar!"
The towering dragon shadow symbolizing the national destiny rose into the sky and let out a roar.
The sound resounded throughout the heaven and earth, echoing continuously.
this moment.
Not a trace of hesitation.
The dignified general Hu Yunjiao was the first to kneel down and bow down:
"Great Yan Protector General Hu Yunjiao welcomes the crown prince!"
Wang Meng, the guard of the left army, had no worries. He knelt on his knees, beat his chest with his fists, and solemnly said: "General Wang Meng of the Great Yan Rebellion, welcome the crown prince!"
Many Dayan officers followed closely behind.
"General Ningyuan Li Zhongxiao welcomes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Zhongwu Colonel He Rendong welcomes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Chen Yi from Tianziying welcomes His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Then there were thousands of Great Flame Dragon Knight soldiers wearing blood-colored jade armor, with expressions of respect and fanaticism on their faces. They looked at the terrifying aura appearing in the sky, and then roared from the bottom of their hearts:
"The Great Flame Dragon Cavalry respectfully welcomes His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"The Great Flame Dragon Cavalry respectfully welcomes His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Everyone's voices gathered together, like thunder in the sky.
at the same time.
On the northern border of Daxia.
All over the mountains and plains, between the yellow sand, there are dense black shadows.
The iron pagoda cavalry riding black wolves crossed many passes.
Go straight south.
In the dark, there is a shadow of a ghost wolf in the sky above the Northern Wolf Empire, overlooking Daxia in the east.
The red-eyed golden dragon faced off against the ghostly wolf shadow across the desert.
It forms a triangle with the white dragon appearing in the south.
