And the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers he holds are far away in the northwest border. Not to mention that they cannot be mobilized without the Holy Order. Even if there is an Holy Order, they cannot be easily mobilized. The neighboring countries have always been eyeing Xiliang. If there is a change in the border defense, they will definitely take advantage of it. If you enter in vain, then there will be external and internal troubles, and the country will be ruined.
At this time, there was no one else around Zhu Yan except Xing Ying and Shiba Xuesha.
In the dark night, dozens of figures flew across the sky, jumping and walking on the tops of the houses in the capital, all the way towards the palace.
The Eighteen Blood Demons were extremely skilled in martial arts, and Zhu Yan and Xing Ying also possessed unique skills. Their tall figures walked through the night, flying and jumping, making very small sounds that could hardly be heard, but the palace was no better than the houses in the city after all. There is a lookout tower in the palace, which is ten feet high. There are four people guarding the tower, looking out in four directions. The shadows inside and outside the palace, every plant and tree are visible. They want to fly in blatantly, but it is difficult to get up. More difficult.
In order not to alert the enemy, Zhu Yan and the Eighteen Blood Demons waited all night, but failed to wait for the four of them to change their defenses, so they had to retreat temporarily.
Not long after they retreated, another group of men in night clothes hurriedly came. They carried a small sedan and went straight into the palace gate.
The woman in plain clothes in the sedan had her hands and feet bound and a cloth stuffed in her mouth. She could only make a whining sound.
The sedan that was bumping all the way finally stopped, and the curtain was opened. A pair of white and delicate hands opened the curtain, revealing the delicate little face outside the curtain. The woman was dressed in palace attire, and her face was a little panicked. Xia Yuanqiu, who was bound, hurriedly reached out to help her out of the sedan, and began to untie the ropes that bound her.
It was already dawn. The cloth in her mouth was removed and she took a breath of the freshest morning air, but she was very unhappy.
Looking around, she saw that she had been to this place before, the royal palace of Xiliang Kingdom, magnificent and luxurious.
There was no one else in front of her except this palace maid, and the men in black who came to capture her were nowhere to be seen. She glared at the palace lady in front of her and said, "Who captured me here?"
The palace maid just kept shaking her head and didn't dare to say a word.
The sound of horse hoofbeats came from far away. She raised her eyes and saw the bright clothes and angry horses, the handsome face, the aloof demeanor, and the eyes that looked down at the world, Liang Wang, Zhu Sheng!
He came on horseback, his cold eyes gradually warmed up, and his peach blossom eyes were always focused on her alone.
From the first real meeting with her at the palace banquet that day, he knew that he wanted her and must get her at any cost and by any means. He had been planning something for a long time, and the time should have come again. He is more mature. This is not the best opportunity at this time, but he can't wait and doesn't want to wait any longer, because he is afraid that if he waits any longer, the woman he likes will become someone else's bride.
She watched the young man in bright clothes and angry horse slowly approach, and he stretched out his hand to her.
His hands were beautiful, with long and clean fingers. There was a thick layer of calluses between the palms left by years of holding swords. Compared with Zhu Yan's hands, they were a little thinner, which she didn't like.
Her eyes moved from his hands to his face, and she raised her head slightly, looking at Zhu Sheng riding on a tall horse. The sun was bright in the sky, but his heart was as cold as winter.
"Why?" Her eyes were cold, and she had a bad premonition in her heart. She was here, and he was also here. Has this palace fallen
He finally retracted his hand, making sure that she would not get on his horse, absolutely not.
He didn't mind because it was expected.
If she didn't want to get on his horse, he would get off.
