After a moment, two people walked out from a distance. One of them was wearing a short leather brown jacket and a blood-green iron armor. He was holding a long bow and holding a quiver. He wore a two-finger-long feather crown on his head. He looked heroic, but a little lacking. With a human aura, the attire is reminiscent of the Hundred-step armor-piercing battalion in the Xiaojia Army. Everyone in Yan knows that the symbol of the Hundred-step armor-piercing battalion is the two-finger-length stork hair headdress, and this Hundred-step armor-piercing battalion is known to everyone in Yan. The first commander of the armor-piercing battalion was one of the four major generals under Xiao Ting, who could penetrate Yang Huaxi at a hundred steps.
Another person walked out from the opposite direction. The person's appearance was ordinary and featureless. He would disappear into the crowd as soon as he entered the market. In stark contrast to his appearance, was the tall machine behind it. The metal structure of the machine, It is about the size of four adults. The whole thing is in the shape of a square box. There are four mechanical legs under the square box to support the movement. On both sides of the square box, two mechanical arms extend out, and the two mechanical arms surround it. It was locked, forming a structure of a mechanical lock, and in the lock, a person was restrained. That person was the Third Prince. Everyone knew that he was the Third Prince himself, and the Third Prince in front of him had been transformed by the Iron Armor Technique. The prince is the shadow of the third prince.
Things gradually became clear, as Yan Qing and Eunuch Sixi expected, that is, the third prince, who had always been upright, had long seen the wolfish ambitions of Yunlong, a foreigner, so since the Iron Armor Technique entered the Yan Kingdom's court, He has always held a firm opposition attitude. However, the Third Prince's firm stance does not mean that the people around him will not waver. Shadow has always been a profession of surviving in the dark. They have never lived their own lives. Although After professional training and years of brainwashing, their desires as human beings have been suppressed to the last bit. But even so, people are still human after all. Even if they don’t have any other desires, people who stay in the darkness for a long time will They all yearn for the light.
They long to stand and walk in the sunshine, even if it costs their own lives.
See the light in the morning and die in the evening. For those who have been living in darkness, an identity that can walk in the sun is so tempting. This is the mysterious girl Zhiwu who exists in the sea of Shuihan's consciousness. , is the most understandable.
Speaking of which, someone seems to be the darkness itself. I wonder if he will yearn for the light. Zhi Wu looked at the scarred Shuihan and didn't know what it felt like. He had already experienced too many such scars. .
"Sure enough, you are the shadow of the third prince. Now you are kidnapping the third prince, and you also secretly communicated with Yunlong to find the remains of the late famous generals of our Yan Kingdom and make them into Shura soldiers to drive you. What are your intentions?"
Eunuch Sixi is truly a man of talent. He not only saw the true identities of the two third princes at a glance, but also revealed the true nature of Hua Xi and Gongshu Zi who had just appeared.
When the two of them appeared just now, some of the Guarding Guards had obviously begun to waver. Hua Xi and Gongshu Zi, as two of the four major generals of the Xiaojia Army, had a great reputation in the Yan State, and the Yan State Although the military establishment is divided into three armies: the West, the North, and the Central Plains. The three armies are in charge of three areas, and there is little contact between them. However, the relationship between the three armies and the imperial court is extremely close. People in the three armies interact with the guards directly under the royal palace. Temporary transfers are not unusual. Therefore, there are definitely not a few among the Gotei Guards who have seen or even know these two major generals. In fact, it is very likely that some of them are from the "Hundred Steps" that Hua Xi once commanded. "Armor-Piercing Battalion" and the "Thousand Machine Battalion" that Gongshuzi commanded back then, if Mr. Sixi didn't tell them directly, these seemingly well-trained Guardsmen would probably mutiny at any time.
This is by no means an alarmist statement. Everyone among the high-ranking nobles in the Yan Palace knows what kind of army the Xiaojia Army was back then. Everyone also knows that if Xiaoting hadn’t sent a deathbed order to order the Xiaojia Army to live forever. Treason is not allowed, I am afraid that the daring Lu Tietan has already taken his "Iron Blood Battalion" and ceded the territory. Whoever the Yan Kingdom falls into will be a matter of war.
Qin Kai's Central Plains Army has always focused on planning and rarely fought, while the Yanbei Army of the Fourth Prince Yan Gui has been focusing on building the Northern Great Wall all year round. The real tough battles and major battles in the Yan Kingdom are almost all fought by the Yanxi Army. After coming out, there is a folk song in Baima City saying,
In Baima City, Yanxi, one person is worth a thousand rides. The general stood at the head of the city, and all the princes lowered their eyebrows.
How arrogant and bold, and how heroic.
So if we really have to go head-to-head, even if the military strength of the Yan State is three times that of the entire Xiaojia Army, even if the military equipment and logistics are ten times and a hundred times that of the Xiaojia Army, the old King Yan still has no idea at all, so he can only let it go, and the Xiaojia Army Jun, since Xiaoting's death, has forever become a hidden pain in the Yan Kingdom.
Without further ado, back to the Yanwang Palace Square, the situation at this time became clear immediately after the words of Eunuch Sixi. The shadow of the third prince secretly colluded with Yunlong, who was hiding in the dark and whose whereabouts were unknown. They stole the money that had been stolen. It was the corpses of Hua Xi and Gong Shuzi, the famous generals of the Yan State, who were made into Shura soldiers using iron armor. Although there was no precedent that dead people could be made into Shura soldiers before, the production of Shura soldiers was the most cutting-edge. In the hands of Yunlong, who has mastered all the techniques, that guy is dedicated to covering the entire Yan Palace and even the entire Yan Kingdom with the power of Shura Soldiers. He has never stopped studying the art of iron armor, turning dead corpses into Shura Soldiers. This kind of thing is definitely not impossible for him.
If Yunlong really did not die, but escaped from the Yan Palace and planned all of this carefully, then this person's wolfish ambitions have basically been revealed.
At present, in terms of strength on paper, the Third Prince's shadow has no other assistance except two Shura soldiers and a hostage. On Yan Qing's side, not only are hundreds of elite court guards stationed, but there are also Shui Han and Zhong Shao. , three Taoyuan people from Xiaotian plus a Four Symbol Realm major cultivator from Famous Sword Villa, a half-immortal ranked third in the world of magical heroes, Piaoxiang Jianliu Piaoxiang, no matter how you look at it, it is all unilaterally done by Yan Qing's side Crush.
Even if Gongshuzi's Sifang agency has the Third Prince as a hostage, don't forget that this Liu Banxian has mastered such a magical skill as Shi Zing. If he wants to rescue the Third Prince unscathed, for this half-immortal, It's by no means difficult.
Almost everyone present was aware of this obvious matter, and naturally, all of them included Shui Han.
But the more advantageous the situation, the more panicked Shui Han was. He knew that the shadow in front of him that was stepping on him was definitely not a novice. Every step he had made so far had been carefully calculated.
Why, why does this shadow know that all conditions are favorable to us, but he still wants Hua Xi and Gongshu Zi to come out?
