Suddenly hearing the news that the city gate was closed, Gao He and his party were all surprised.
Gao He immediately stepped forward, took out the command token from his waist, and shouted to the defenders below the city: "I am Gao He, the commander of the imperial guards. I have to go out of the city to do business now. Open the door immediately and let me go!"
When the garrison under the city heard this, they all looked surprised, but no one gave way to let him go.
When Gao He saw this, he couldn't help but show an angry look on his face, and the majestic pressure of the moon-level power surged like a tidal wave.
"Bold, you dare to stop the imperial army from doing anything, aren't you afraid of losing your head!"
The threatening sound was like a thunderous explosion, shaking all the soldiers under the city gate, shaking their bodies and making them unsteady.
However, at this moment, a sneer came from the tower.
"Haha... Commander Gao is so majestic. Your Twelve Guards of the Forbidden Army, and my Four Elephant Forest Guards, both belong to the imperial capital garrison and act under the emperor's orders.
Could it be that Commander Gao thinks that your imperial army must be superior to my Imperial Forest Army? "
As this voice fell, an equally vast power poured down from the city, directly canceling out all the pressure released by Gao He.
Gao He looked up and saw a tall, middle-aged general wearing black armor, with deep features and a hideous scar on his face. He was looking down at Gao He and other guards from a high position.
When Gao He saw this person, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, but he raised his fist towards the other person and said: "Haha...it turns out to be "General Di Tong", one of the Four Symbols.
Gao Mou was ordered to go out of the city to do some business. General Di Tong would like to make it convenient and open the city gate to let him go. "
Hearing this, Di Tong's sharp eyes flashed slightly, but he shook his head and said: "Commander Gao, please forgive me for my inability to do anything. Recently, assassins broke into the imperial city at night, and we were ordered to seal the city for search.
Today, everyone in the imperial capital is not allowed to enter or leave unless they have the emperor's orders!
Commander Gao, you said you were ordered to do something, but I don’t know whose order you were given. If it was the emperor’s order, how dare I not let it go? "
Hearing General Di Tong's words, Gao He looked slightly ugly and sneered: "General Di Tong, do I still have to explain clearly to your Imperial Guard the actions of my imperial guards?
I would like to ask General Di, who made the decision to close the city gate? If you delay important national affairs, can you bear the responsibility? "
After hearing this, General Di Tong sneered: "Commander Gao, I won't bother you with this. In short, if there is no order from the emperor today, please go back on your own. When the city gate opens tomorrow, it will not be too late to leave the city."
"you……!"
Gao He's face turned cold, and the astonishing spiritual energy around him began to surge, causing strong winds and flying sand and dust all around the city gate.
When General Di Tong on the city tower saw this, his expression remained unchanged and he said in a cold tone: "Why, I don't want to open the city gate, so Commander Gao still wants to force his way in if it's so difficult?
I heard that at the night banquet in the Imperial City, Commander Gao was severely injured by a master from the Tianyuan Dynasty. I don’t know how well you recovered from your injuries. I will take action later. If something goes wrong, I don’t want to be known as bullying the injured. . "
"presumptuous!"
Hearing this, Gao He finally became a little angry, and the momentum around him surged like a tide.
At this moment, General Di Tong's eyes were also filled with sharp light, and a majestic energy began to fluctuate violently in his body.
Seeing that a commander of the Forbidden Army and a commander of the Royal Forest Army were about to take action at the south gate of the imperial capital, the two sides were already in a tense posture.
Behind the imperial army, the sallow-faced imperial guard could not help but show a trace of worry in his eyes.
If both parties take action, today's matter will definitely become a big deal, and the plan will probably be interrupted. It will be difficult to have such an opportunity in the future.
Looking at the nearby city gate, his eyes flashed with a faint intention of "fighting to the death".
However, at this moment, a figure appeared silently in the sky above the South City Gate. It was an old man in gray robe who looked haggard and looked like he was dying.
The moment the old man appeared, both General Di Tong and Gao He's expressions changed, showing shock.
"Palm...Master Palm!"
The two people quickly restrained their outward momentum and led the crowd to bow to the old man.
As high-ranking officials in the royal private army, they knew the old man's transcendent status in the Great Yan Empire better than others, and how could they dare to neglect him in the slightest.
Facing everyone to salute, Lao Zhangyin just waved his hand casually, lifting everyone up with a soft energy.
Immediately, he glanced in the direction of the guards seemingly unintentionally. He glanced at the sallow-faced guard at the end of the team, and then looked at General Di Tong on the tower and said: "General Di, command them from a high position. Get out of town."
"This..." General Di Tong couldn't help but show hesitation on his face.
The old palm print added: "If anyone pursues the matter, I will bear all the responsibility."
Hearing this, Di Tong was shocked in his heart, and he quickly raised his hands and said: "I don't dare. Since Master Zhangyin speaks, I must obey!"
Without asking any more questions, General Di Tong directly ordered: "Open the city gate and let us go!"
The imperial guards under the city immediately opened the city gate and made way for them.
Gao He looked at the old palm print in surprise, wondering why the other party appeared at this moment and why he helped them get out of the city.
But seeing that the city gate was open, he didn't dare to delay at all. He immediately saluted Master Palm Print and waved to the eight people behind him.
"Out of town!"
The group quickly passed through the city gate and walked out of the imperial capital formation.
When he stepped out of the pale golden light curtain outside the city gate, the guard at the end of the team finally let out a long sigh of relief secretly, and there was a touch of excitement in his eyes.
From this moment on, destiny is in your own hands again!
Turning back, looking at the old man in the void through the magnificent golden light curtain behind him, the guard looked at him with complicated eyes and secretly saluted him.
When the old palm print saw this scene, a relieved smile appeared on his face, he nodded slightly, and his figure disappeared like mist.
At the same time, in Dayan Imperial City, on the eleventh floor of Si Tianjian Pagoda.
The old palm print was actually sitting in the tower, playing chess with others.
The opponent of Lao Zhangyin was wearing an ink scribe's gown, with an elegant and elegant temperament, and a handsome and almost demonic appearance. He was none other than the Imperial Master of the Tianyuan Dynasty, "Huangfu Sheng".
At this moment, the two of them were sitting opposite each other, and the chessboard was clearly black and white, indicating a stalemate.
Huangfu Sheng holds the white piece, twists a chess piece between his long fingers, and hangs it before it falls. A pair of bright eyes scans the situation on the chessboard, and he is about to place the piece.
Suddenly, Huangfu Sheng seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned his head to look south of the imperial city, his expression suddenly changed!
The old palm print opposite looked calm and reminded softly.
"National Master, since you have made a decision, why not make a move?"
Huangfu Sheng's expression instantly returned to calmness, and he said with an apologetic expression: "My lord Zhangyin, I'm sorry, but I suddenly remembered an urgent matter. I'll keep this chess game for now, and I'll finish it tomorrow."
After saying that, Huangfu Sheng wanted to take back the pieces that were about to fall.
However, at this moment, a golden light suddenly shined on the chessboard in front of him, and the chessboard that was originally carved with white jade and engraved with graphite instantly turned into powder.
Instead, there is a chessboard with "golden light as lines" outlined vertically and horizontally, suspended in mid-air.
The "black and white pieces" on the chessboard have turned into two strange runes, black and white, which are entangled and intertwined on the chessboard, like two armies confronting each other.
At this moment, the entire vicinity of the Si Tianjian Pagoda was filled with strong elements of heaven and earth, as if a terrifying "elemental tornado" was blowing up with the pagoda as the center!
The white seed in Huangfu Sheng's hand immediately shattered and turned into a ball of wriggling white light. It seemed as light as a feather, but it was heavier than Mount Tai.
Huangfu Sheng wanted to "raise the child and give up the game", but he was enveloped by a majestic force, and he was unable to retreat.
Lao Zhangyin's pair of pupilless eyes suddenly glowed with dazzling green light at this moment, looking at Huangfu Saint Dao with blazing eyes.
"National Master, why bother, let's finish this game first."
Looking at this sudden drastic change, Huangfu Sheng's expression finally changed drastically, and his bright eyes glowed with a scorching light.
He looked at the old palm print who was as quiet as a rock across from him, and couldn't help but sneered: "Master Zhang Yin has such a deep calculation. The original reason for inviting me to play chess here is to "win this one"!"
Old Palm showed a simple smile. "The National Master has been over-reputed. Now the overall situation is undecided. The victory or defeat is still in your hands."
Huangfu Sheng took a deep look at Old Palm Seal, and finally calmed down all his emotions, regaining his composure and saying: "Since Old Palm Seal is not willing to use his own "Tao Principles" to play against me, Huangfu Sheng is not talented, but also wants to learn from the Great Yan Empire, the three major A brilliant move from the Chief Protector!"
After the words fell, Huangfu Sheng's hair was flying like a waterfall, his eyes were shining brightly, and a dark red mark appeared between his eyebrows, as if the eyes of heaven were opening and closing.
At this moment, the white light in his hand condensed and turned into a bright rune, floating into the chessboard...
