The dozen personal guards could not withstand such pressure at first. They were all veterans of hundreds of battles, but at this moment they had no resistance at all and could not help but retreat. However, the two generals of the Beifu Army had sweat on their foreheads and finally managed to stand up.
He was not forced to retreat where he was.
The uniforms of the remaining six generals were all piping with golden cloud patterns. They were the Thunder Cavalry Guards of the Imperial Guard. They moved suddenly and took their positions to form a defensive position around Lin Xitang. However, they also knew that this move would
In fact, it had no effect at all. Zhang Boqian didn't even need to take action, he could kill them just by relying on the pressure of the domain.
Suddenly, lightning flashed across the sky in Zhang Boqian's eyes, as if the heaven and earth were about to hang upside down in the next moment.
Lin Xitang's calm voice broke through the suffocating atmosphere, "Your Highness, what do you mean?"
"Under the Iron Curtain, even I, the Zhang family of Qingyang, have entered the situation. Now that this is the case, let the younger generation let them fight and make a name for themselves. You don't have to interfere."
Lin Xitang stood quietly, his eyes clear and unmoved, "What did your Highness say? I was entrusted by Your Majesty to take charge of the overall situation of the bloody battle. Training young people is only one of them. Those resources under the Iron Curtain cannot fall into the hands of the dark race."
hand."
Zhang Boqian said sarcastically: "The military has been looking for those void crystals for a while. They are not only found under the Iron Curtain. Now the empire and the Eternal Night Council have about a 30-70 split, and that's it. The war hasn't started yet.
Just plan to hold each other back, what result do you want?"
He paused and sneered, "As for the things that the ghosts are looking for, they will appear when the Iron Curtain opens. What do you want to do now?"
Lin Xitang let out a breath, as if he didn't want to argue anymore, and just asked: "What do you mean by His Highness?"
Zhang Boqian said coldly: "Since you are here to take charge of the bloody battle, just sit here and wait until the Iron Curtain opens before talking about anything else."
Lin Xitang was silent for a while and said, "As you wish."
Under the Iron Curtain of Eternal Night, at the foot of a Thousand-Ren Stone Mountain rising from the ground, a human team was resting. The young man leading it looked less than thirty, with a thin body and a dull breath. He seemed to be just a seventh- or eighth-level soldier.
, but those warriors with extraordinary strength and awe-inspiring aura were extremely respectful towards him.
A general-level scout had just arrived at the camp, bringing the latest intelligence from the outside. After reading the letter, Li Ruizhi's face changed, and he pondered for a long time before sighing: "There is nothing in this world that is better than God's calculations. In this way,
It is impossible for Lin Xitang to come in before the Iron Curtain opens."
The war general scout said: "King Qingyang must have suspected that Lin Xitang wanted to personally attack the clan, so he blocked him in the front camp. Even if His Majesty sent a thunder cavalry guard to Lin Xitang's side, if King Qingyang insisted on going his own way, he would really take action.
Come on..."
Li Ruizhi naturally understood what he was saying, so he nodded helplessly.
Zhang Boqian has never been a reasonable person. He and Lin Xitang have been political enemies for many years. In the past, due to the fact that they were ministers in the same palace, even if there was a conflict between the two, they could still control it. But since Zhang Boqian was promoted to the king of heaven, I am afraid that even Lei Qiwei will be like this
The face of the emperor's servants is of no use. Li Ruizhi uses himself to judge others. If he and Lin Xitang get along in a different place, even if he has all kinds of plans, he will give up.
Li Ruizhi secretly cried out in his heart that it was a pity. He had always wanted to test whether the Li family's "Xing Luo Gui Yi Formation" could be used to kill the "Dayan Tianji Jue"! From the very beginning of the bloody battle, they designed this game, every step of the way, and every step was meticulous.
, finally got the chess game to this point, just waiting for Lin Xitang to hit the target, but didn't want to fall short in the last step.
"So what do you think now, brother?" Li Ruizhi asked.
The war general scout said: "Both the uncle and Mr. Yan believe that judging from this matter, Jiaofangdian's last lobbying of King Qingyang did not completely fail, maybe it was just a matter of method. As long as we have a common enemy, we don't need King Qingyang to fully support us.
A slightly tilted attitude is enough."
Li Ruizhi sighed: "This matter is very big, and we are planning it slowly. The top priority is to find a middleman who can talk to King Qingyang."
It is a great thing for them that Zhang Boqian is willing to stand up and openly confront Lin Xitang, but communication between them is a big problem. Zhang Boqian has always been a loner, and this time he went to Yongye without even a servant. Of course
Therefore, the news could not be sent to him. Due to a combination of circumstances, Li Ruizhi's long-planned killing plan was ineffective.
The generals and scouts heard Li Ruizhi say a few more things, wrote them down one by one, and then left.
Li Ruizhi walked towards the depths of the cave where he was resting. There was a complex and precise machine lying in the corner at the end. The pattern of the Force array on the open workbench was flickering on and off. A trace of blue and black Force flowed out of his palm, like water.
It washed through the magic circle, and the flickering light was extinguished one after another. After the magic circle completely stopped operating, Li Ruizhi began to disassemble the machine part by part.
Deep in the dark country, on the edge of the Iron Curtain in the other direction, stands a majestic old castle among the rolling mountains. In the study room on the top floor, the entire north wall is covered with large floor-to-ceiling windows, and the thousands of miles of land seems to be spread under your feet.
However, the most eye-catching thing is the sky. A clear and distinct line cuts the dome in half. One side is deep and distant, like a gorgeous ancient infinite curtain, while the other side is blue and high, with the asteroid belt crossing it like a belt studded with jewels.
Sky dome.
A black-haired man stood in front of the window and looked out. He had a pair of sapphire-like eyes. When he wasn't smiling, he was as cold and lifeless as ever.
The door was knocked, and a Blood Earl walked in. He knelt down more than ten steps away from the man. This was the most respectful etiquette of the blood clan. The man did not show the usual life-and-death coercion of the vampire superiors, but
No matter how gentle his expression was, the Blood Earl did not dare to raise his head, because he had brought very bad news.
The Blood Earl said in a low voice: "Your Excellency Habbs, news just came from the human race that the planned operation to trap and kill the Imperial Marshal Lin Xitang in three days has been cancelled, and the plan has failed."
The current head of the fifth-ranked Spock clan, Grand Duke Habs, was not as furious as the Blood Earl expected, even though this extremely noble man had stayed in Yongye for more than ten days for this operation.
He just raised his eyebrows, said "Oh", and said: "Go and tell our dear human allies that they made too many mistakes in this bloody battle. The death of Viscount Luther of the Demon Jesus family has not yet been resolved.
Before taking any further action, they should carefully consider the issue of compensation!" At this point, Habbs suddenly remembered something and asked: "How is the marriage between Phila and the princess of the Monroe family?"
The Blood Earl buried his head lower, with a tremor in his voice, "Still... talking..." But he also knew that this matter had been delayed for a long time, and this answer would never satisfy the Grand Duke.
However, the Blood Earl was very lucky today. Habbs waved his hand indifferently and said: "It doesn't matter, Monroe can't always see the situation clearly. In order to deal with the ghosts, the Eternal Night Council is stepping up preparations and laying down enough chips. Waiting for the Supreme
When the existence wakes up from its slumber, the Monroe clan is begging to come to us. Please step back."
The existence of the Supreme! Who can let the Grand Duke mention it with such an honorific? The Blood Earl, who was still in shock, wiped a cold sweat and exited the door with great respect.
Habbs continued to cast his gaze out the window, looking into the depths of the Iron Curtain, and said to himself: "Lin, your emperor's wife family paid such a high price to kill you. So, your race is different from the descendants of my holy blood.
What’s the difference?”
In Xilu, the night has darkened, and there is a hint of chill in the wind.
People walking on the street at this time will always tighten their clothes subconsciously to resist the sudden warm and cold season.
The main hall of Qingping Hall is as warm as spring. The preset force array continuously provides warmth. Behind the pillars and corners, out of sight, there are still wisps of water vapor rising, keeping the hall from drying out.
Princess Gaoyi was leaning lazily on the couch. Although the palace was warm, she still held a purple-gold copper stove in her hand. The stove was exquisitely made and its surface had been polished. It was obviously something that had been played with for many years.
Even though she has been pampered all year round, her face still looks a little abnormally pale, and her fingertips when rubbing the hand stove are still cold. This is an old problem, and it doesn't matter how long she holds the hand stove.
The old man who had brought Qianye to see him stood beside the couch, half-bent, and talked about the Creation Garden in detail.
Princess Gaoyi raised her eyebrows when she heard Duke You Guo's comment that "the majestic atmosphere is the road to the sky", and then her expression returned to normal. Such a big event only made her slightly moved.
After listening, Princess Gaoyi said calmly: "My husband has been worrying about this matter for many years. Now that Qianye has achieved such an achievement, he should feel relieved."
A trace of worry flashed across the old man's face, "But the prince-in-law doesn't seem to have completely forgiven what happened back then, and it's unclear what Mr. Qianye thinks."
Princess Gaoyi smiled and said: "It was Xi'er's life that was saved at that time, and I am her mother, so I can't escape the relationship no matter what. But so what? Xi'er finally grew up safely, and that's enough."
The old man's eyes were wet for some reason. He lowered his eyes for a moment and then lowered his voice and said, "I'm afraid that the person behind the estrangement back then is still unwilling to let it go. Why don't the princess tell the consort?"
Princess Gaoyi said coldly: "If you believe me, husband, you will naturally be able to see some clues. If you don't believe me..."
The atmosphere in the room became tense, and the old man lowered his head and said nothing. The warmth driven by the force array was still rolling in the hall, but it always seemed to leave a trace of chill in the heart after passing over the skin.
After a long while, Princess Gaoyi said: "I'm afraid that woman didn't expect that after all her tricks, she still got nothing in the end. Over the years, she couldn't even send the humblest concubine through the door." Her lips, as pale as petals, slightly curled up.
He pursed his lips, and there was a hint of joy in his indifferent expression, "The Yanyun Zhao family has been a member of the family for thousands of years and has been standing with the country. How can it be compared to her upstart family who only uses women for marriage!"
The old man thought for a while and then said: "Princess, I dare to say something ridiculous."
Princess Gaoyi's expression softened, she sighed softly and said, "Servant Zhongchang, you have watched me grow up. Is there anything you can't say?"
The old man lowered his voice and said: "In my opinion, the princess might as well take Mr. Qianye under her name."
Princess Gaoyi suddenly heard this, and she could not help but almost slip the stove due to her determination. But she thought carefully, and slowly regained her composure, saying: "The concubine cannot be entered into the imperial family book, and my husband is now the head of the clan.
His concubine will be included in the Zhao clan's genealogy and will need to be reported to the imperial family, which is quite troublesome."
