The dozen or so personal guards couldn't withstand such coercion at first. They were all veterans of many battles, but at this moment they had no strength to resist at all, and retreated involuntarily. And the two generals of the Beifu Legion saw sweat on their foreheads, and finally managed to stand still and not be forced to retreat.
The military uniforms of the remaining six generals were all covered with golden cloud patterns. They were Thunder Cavalry Guards of the Imperial Guards. They moved quickly, each according to their position, and formed a guard around Lin Xitang. It's just that they also know that this move is actually useless. Zhang Boqian didn't even need to do anything, just relying on the coercion of the domain, he could take their lives.
In Zhang Boqian's eyes, lightning flashed across the sky in an instant, as if the sky and the earth were about to hang upside down in the next moment.
Lin Xitang's indifferent voice broke through the suffocating atmosphere, "Your Highness, what do you mean?"
"Under the Iron Curtain, even my Qingyang Zhang family has entered the game. Now that that's the case, let their juniors fight freely to make a name for themselves. You don't need to intervene."
Lin Xitang stood quietly, her eyes were clear and unmoved, "What did your Highness say? I was entrusted by His Majesty to take charge of the bloody battle, and training young people is only one of them. Those resources under the Iron Curtain cannot fall into the hands of the dark race." hands."
Zhang Boqian said sarcastically: "The military department 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 get about 37 points, that's it. It hasn't started fighting yet. Just plan to pull each other's legs first, what else do you want?"
He paused, and sneered, "As for the things the ghosts are looking for, they will appear after the Iron Curtain is opened. What do you want to go in now?"
Lin Xitang exhaled lightly, as if she didn't want to argue any further, she just asked, "What does His Highness mean?"
Zhang Boqian said coldly: "Since you are here to sit in the bloody battle, you should sit here and wait until the Iron Curtain is opened before talking about other things."
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 is resting. The young man in the lead looked less than thirty, with a thin body and a plain breath, as if he was only a soldier of the seventh or eighth rank, but those warriors with extraordinary strength and awe-inspiring aura were extremely respectful towards him.
A warrior-level scout had just arrived at this camp, bringing the latest information from outside. After reading the letter, Li Ruizhi's face changed, and he pondered for a long time before sighing: "There is nothing in the world that is not as good as man's calculation. So, it is impossible for Lin Xitang to come in before the Iron Curtain opens."
The general scouted and said: "King Qingyang probably suspected that Lin Xitang was going to attack the clan himself, so he blocked him in the forward camp. Even if His Majesty sent thunder cavalry guards by Lin Xitang's side, if King Qingyang insisted on going his own way, he would really be moved." hand..."
Li Ruizhi naturally understood what he had to say, so he nodded helplessly.
Zhang Boqian has never been a reasonable person, he and Lin Xitang have been political enemies for many years, because they used to be ministers in the same palace, even if there were conflicts between them, they could still control them. But since Zhang Boqian was promoted to the rank of Heavenly King, I am afraid that even Lei Qiwei, the face of the emperor's valet, is useless. Li Ruizhi judges others by himself, if he gets along with Lin Xitang in a different place, even if he has a thousand plans in the first place, he will definitely give up.
Li Ruizhi cried out in his heart that it was a pity. He has always wanted to test whether the Li family's "Xingluo Guiyi Formation" can be counted as killing the "Dayan Tianji Jue"! From the very beginning of the bloody battle, they designed this game, step by step, careful everywhere, and finally played the chess here, just waiting for Lin Xitang to win, but they didn't want to fail at the last move.
"So what do you think now, brother?" Li Ruizhi asked.
The general scouted: "Uncle and Mr. Yan both think that judging from this matter, Jiaofangdian's lobbying of King Qingyang last time was not a complete failure, maybe it's 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 they are plotting slowly. The most urgent thing is to find a middleman who can talk to King Qingyang."
Zhang Boqian's willingness to stand up and openly confront Lin Xitang is a great thing for them, but communication between them is a big problem. Zhang Boqian has always been a loner, this time he didn't even bring a servant with him when he came to Yongye, so of course he couldn't send the news to him. Due to a combination of circumstances and circumstances, Li Ruizhi's long-planned killing plan was useless.
The general scout heard a few things from Li Ruizhi, wrote them down one by one, and left.
On the other hand, Li Ruizhi walked to the depths of the resting cave. In the corner at the end lay a complex and sophisticated machine, and the pattern of the original force circle on the open workbench was flickering. A trace of blue and black original force overflowed from his palm, rushing through the magic circle like water, and the flickering light went out one by one. After the magic circle stopped working completely, Li Ruizhi began to disassemble the machine part by part.
In the depths of the dark kingdom, 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 thousand miles of land seem to be spread under the feet.
Most striking, however, was the sky, where a sharp line cut the dome in two. One side is dark and distant, like a gorgeous ancient and boundless curtain, and the other side is blue and high, with the asteroid belt crossing the sky like a jeweled belt.
A black-haired man stood in front of the window and looked out. He had a pair of sapphire-like eyes, and when he was not smiling, he was as cold as lifeless.
There was a knock on the door, and a Blood Earl walked in. He knelt down a dozen steps away from the man, which was the most respectful etiquette for the blood race. The man did not show the usual life-and-death coercion of the upper blood clans, but no matter how gentle his expression was, the blood count did not dare to raise his head a little, because he brought very bad news.
The Blood Earl said in a low voice: "Your Excellency Habs, just now there was news from the human race that the plan to trap Lin Xitang, Marshal of the Empire, planned to be killed three days later was cancelled, and the plan failed."
The current Patriarch of the fifth-ranked Spock Clan, Grand Duke Habs, did not lose his temper as the Blood Earl expected, although this extremely distinguished lord had already stayed in Eternal Night for more than ten days for this operation.
He just raised his eyebrows, said "Oh", and said: "Go and tell our dear human allies, they made too many mistakes in this bloody battle, and the death of Viscount Luther of the demon descendant Jelusen family has not been resolved yet. Well. Before taking any further action, they should first carefully consider the issue of compensation!" At this point, Habs suddenly remembered something, and asked, "How about the marriage between Feila and the princess of the Monroe family?"
The Blood Earl buried his head even lower, with a tremor in his voice, "Still... talking..." But he also knew that this matter had been dragged on for a long time, and this answer would never satisfy the Grand Duke.
However, the Blood Earl was very lucky today, and Habs waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's okay, Monroe always can't see the situation clearly. In order to deal with the sky ghost, the Eternal Night Council is stepping up preparations and placing a lot of chips. Wait for the Supreme When the existence of the Monroe clan wakes up from slumber, some people are begging to come to us. You step back."
Supreme existence! Who could have asked the Grand Duke to mention it with such an honorific title? The Blood Earl, who was still in shock, wiped his cold sweat, and exited the door very respectfully.
Habs continued to cast his eyes out of the window, looking into the depths of the Iron Curtain, and said to himself: "Lin, your emperor's wives will kill you at such a high price. Then, your race and my descendant of blood What's the difference?"
In the west, the night is already thick, and there is a slight chill in the wind.
People who are still walking on the street at this time will subconsciously tighten their clothes to resist the warm and cold season.
The main hall of Qingping Hall is like spring, and the preset force array continuously provides warmth. Behind the pillars, corners, etc. out of sight, there are wisps of water vapor rising, so that the hall will not be dry.
Princess Gaoyi leaned lazily on the couch, even though the hall was warm, she still held a copper stove with purple gold hair in her hand. The hand stove is exquisitely made, and the surface has been polished to a bright finish. It is obviously something that has 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 rubbing the stove are still cold. This is an old problem, and holding the hand stove for a long time is useless.
The old man who had brought Qianye to see him stood beside the couch, half-bent, talking about the Creation Garden in detail.
Princess Gaoyi raised her eyebrows when she heard Duke You's evaluation of "a majestic atmosphere, a journey to the sky", and then her expression returned to normal. Such a big event only moved her slightly.
After listening, Princess Gaoyi said calmly: "My husband has been worrying about this matter for many years, now that Qianye has achieved this, he should be relieved."
A trace of worry flashed across the old man's face, "But the son-in-law doesn't seem to have completely let go of what happened back then, and it's unknown what Young Master Qianye thinks."
Princess Gaoyi smiled and said: "At that time, it was Xi'er who saved her life, and I was her mother, so I couldn't get rid of it no matter what. But so what? Xi'er finally grew up safely, and that's enough."
The old man didn't know why his eyes were moist, and he lowered his eyes slightly to avoid it, then lowered his voice and said: "I'm afraid that the people behind the estrangement will not let it go, why didn't the princess tell the son-in-law?"
Princess Gaoyi said coldly: "If your husband believes in me, he will naturally see some clues. If you don't believe me..."
The atmosphere in the room became tense, and the old man bowed his head in silence. The warmth propelled by the great array of original force is still tumbling in the palace, but it always seems to leave a trace of coldness piercing 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. These years, even the most humble concubine Ji couldn't be sent in." Her lips, which were as pale as petals, slightly He pursed his lips, and there was a hint of pleasure in his indifferent expression, "Yanyun Zhao's thousand-year-old family, who stands with the country, can't be compared to her nouveau riche family who can only marry women!"
The old man thought about it for a while, and then said: "Princess, this old servant has the guts to say something ridiculous."
Princess Gaoyi calmed down, sighed softly, and said, "Master Zhongchang, you watched me grow up, what can't you say?"
The old man lowered his voice and said: "In the opinion of this old slave, the princess might as well accept Young Master Qianye as her name."
Princess Gaoyi heard it suddenly, and with her concentration, she almost slipped the stove. But she thought about it carefully, and then slowly came to her senses, and said: "The concubine's concubine cannot be entered in the clan's jade book, and the husband is now the lord, so his concubine will be counted in the Zhao family's genealogy and must be reported to the imperial family. But it's quite troublesome."
