Being able to capture Xia Zhixian was beyond Chao Lengchuan's expectation. He walked into the city lord's mansion and into the room where Xia Zhixian was imprisoned.
All of Xia Zhixian's power had been sealed. At this time, she was sitting at the table, drinking tea slowly, not looking like a prisoner, but like a lady enjoying a leisurely afternoon.
"Prince Chao, you have made a great contribution this time, right?" Xia Zhixian said with a gentle smile when he saw Chao Lengchuan walking in.
"Master Xia Hua, don't you realize that you are in the enemy's camp and your life is in danger at any time?" Chao Lengchuan said.
"Hehe, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. I have nothing to say about being captured this time. Perhaps, I can make an oath that I will never participate in wars again. Why take the life of a little girl? You must know that all three palaces of yours I didn't even kill the people who were defeated by me." When Xia Zhixian was speaking, those charming eyes showed a bit of tenderness, and if someone didn't know her identity, it might be true. Thought she was just a weak woman.
What Xia Zhixian said was true. There were quite a few strong men who were defeated by Xia Zhixian, but Xia Zhixian let them go in exchange, and none of them was killed. It was even heard that those people were treated very well after being captured. Don't want to be a prisoner of war, but like a guest.
No one knows exactly what Xia Zhixian's intentions are behind such a civilized war, but one thing is certain, those strong men who survived after the defeat are somewhat grateful to Xia Zhixian.
"I can't make a decision on this matter. I have to wait for the order to live or die." Chao Lengchuan said with a stern look, not wanting to be caught by this woman.
Seeing Chao Lengchuan's appearance like this, Xia Zhixian started to laugh with all sorts of flair.
"Prince Chao, sit down. Sister Xia knows that you are not deeply involved in the world, and I just have nothing to do, so I will tell you about the current situation." Xia Zhixian stretched out her hand and motioned for Chao Lengchuan to sit down, with a few hints in her words. Very charming teasing meaning.
Chao Lengchuan sat down in front of Xia Zhixian with his face straight.
After Pang Yue's ruthless teasing, the current Chao Lengchuan is no longer the little scholar who would blush when seeing a beautiful woman smile. Facing Xia Zhixian's words like a thousand-faced jade fox, he can naturally remain calm and composed. He would like to hear Listen to what this captured Xia Zhixian can say.
Xia Zhixian picked up the clay pot, and gracefully poured a cup of tea for Prince Chao.
Xia Zhixian's composure and calmness made Prince Chao feel that he was the one who was captured, but Mr. Huan told himself that no matter what kind of enemy he faced, he could not let others guess what he was thinking, let alone express his emotions. on the face.
"Prince Chao, I think your people must be worried now. Is there some deceit in capturing me this time?" Xia Zhixian said in a gentle tone.
Chao Lengchuan didn't speak, just drinking tea and waiting for Xia Zhixian's next words.
"Hehe, let's not talk about cheating, I think they must be wondering about another question, why do I never kill your people, and even treat them very friendly and tolerant?" Xia Zhixian said.
Chao Lengchuan's eyes moved slightly, these questions were actually what Chao Lengchuan was thinking, but Chao Lengchuan still didn't speak.
"The reason is very simple, I am winning people's hearts." Xia Zhixian said.
"Win people's hearts, win over to our three major palaces? Master Xia Hua's heart is really wide." Chao Lengchuan said.
"It's not that I'm lenient, but that I'm planning ahead." Xia Zhixian said.
"Really? Do you want to join our three major palaces?" Chao Lengchuan said in a flat tone.
Xia Zhixian shook her head and said, "On the contrary."
Xia Zhixian's words immediately made Chao Lengchuan frowned. She won't join the three major palaces, but won the hearts of the people in advance. Doesn't this mean that the three major palaces will be annexed by her!
In the battle between the middle and lower ranks, the three palaces have the upper hand. It's hard to say who will win and lose in the battle between the upper ranks. Xia Zhixian is thinking too much!
"You must disdain what I said. How about it, Prince Chao, sister Xia will make a bet with you." Xia Zhixian said with a smile.
"What bet? You are already a prisoner, what leverage do you have?" Chao Lengchuan seemed to see what tricks she had.
"I am the bargaining chip. If your three major palaces can still occupy the Vientiane City in a month, then sister Xia, I will join your three major palaces and help you deal with Xiongshou and Xiongzuo." Xia Zhixian said.
Sniffing at Leng Chuan, he snorted coldly: "There is no need to believe you, you should continue to be a prisoner."
"Don't worry, I haven't finished my sister's words. If your people still occupy the Vientiane City in a month's time, then the Prince Chao will promise me that on the day when the three major palaces are defeated, the Prince Chao will not be like other stubborn old men." Just fight to the end, you have to know how to keep the green hills..." Xia Zhixian laughed.
After Chao Lengchuan heard this, anger welled up in his heart, this woman was completely teasing him!
"Enjoy your tea well." Chao Lengchuan got up, and stopped listening to the woman's nonsense.
Xia Zhixian didn't care, she got up like a gentle and courteous lady to see the crown prince off.
When Prince Chao returned to the barracks, the adjutant accompanying the army had already brought back news that Xia Zhixian was escorted back to Vientiane City.
…
On the third day, people from the three major palaces came to take over Xiangrong City one after another, while Crown Prince Chao, Shen Mo, Old Li and other veteran military advisers and elders escorted Xia Zhixian back to Vientiane City.
Considering that the Soul Alliance might send experts to intercept them halfway, this time they did not return with the army, but a small group of experts formed a team, about ten people in a group.
This kind of escort is the safest, the territory is extremely vast, no matter how powerful the soul alliance is, it is impossible to find the route of ten people. As for whether the soul alliance will use some spiritual weapons on Xia Zhixian's body to find the location, this old li It was also taken into consideration, and Xia Zhixian was directly imprisoned in space. No matter what spiritual weapon or soul skill she possessed, it was impossible to convey any information.
The journey was very safe without any hindrance, and it is expected to arrive in Vientiane West on the 20th day.
Because of the need to keep their whereabouts concealed, the ten people have not contacted any city, including Vientiane City, for so many days.
In the past 20 days, Xia Zhixian has not done anything aggressive except occasionally teasing Chao Lengchuan. This reminded Chao Lengchuan of the bet that day. Although he had no intention of betting with this woman at all, what she said The words always made Chao Lengchuan a little uneasy, as if something would really happen.
…
"Strange, why hasn't Shen Mo come back yet?" Old Li stood on the head of Wanchao Beast, looking at West Vientiane City from afar.
When approaching Vientiane City, Old Li let Shen Mo enter the city first, carefully testing whether there would be an ambush.
In fact, the west is the territory of the three major palaces, and there will be no accidents under normal circumstances. Old Li did this just in case.
"I'm back." Elder Kuang said, pointing to the figure driving the magic horse.
Everyone looked around, and they found that Shen Mo was coming here.
However, there are three people behind Shen Mo, who are driving the Hoshino Magic Horse, the Gale Wind Magic Horse, and the Purple Shirt Dream Beast.
Chao Lengchuan naturally knew those three people, they were Chu Mu's fiancée Ye Qingzi, Ye Qingzi's brother Ye Wansheng, and Shen Mo's younger sister Shen Yue.
Chao Lengchuan secretly wondered why the three of them came here to greet him
But why are their faces so ugly, as if something big happened.
"What's the matter?" Old Li looked at Shen Mo and the others, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Shen Mo didn't speak, but looked at the three people behind him with weird expressions, but the three were clearly angry and unwilling.
After a long time, it was Ye Qingzi who spoke, but her tone was quite heavy, and she said something that shocked all ten people: "The Vientiane City has fallen!"
As soon as Ye Qingzi said this, Chao Lengchuan was shocked, and she turned her head to look at Xia Zhixian.
Xia Zhixian just responded with a simple smile.
Vientiane City fell
Over the past year or so, inexplicable fall incidents had occurred in several Great Realm Cities. Later on, the three major palaces had become accustomed to receiving such news, and they would immediately mobilize troops to retake the cities.
So when it comes to the fall, Chao Lengchuan, Li Laoer and the other elders and holy guards don't think anything of it!
However, what Ye Qingzi is talking about this time is not other cities, but Vientiane City!
"I... I didn't hear wrong, you just said Vientiane City?" Elder Kuang asked loudly!
Ye Qingzi nodded.
If she hadn't witnessed the whole incident with her own eyes, Ye Qingzi would not have believed that the entire heavily guarded West Vientiane City would have been reduced to the territory of the Soul Alliance in a short period of time!
"10,000 soul pet masters in the fortress, 30,000 elemental soul pet masters on the city wall, 50,000 outposts, and 100,000 legions hoarded in the outer and middle cities, and the inner city is full of masters. Being blasted into dust by the elders, elders, and holy guards, the West Vientiane City is impenetrable, absolutely impossible to fall, absolutely impossible!" An Shengwei said a little bit angrily.
Can this kind of thing be used as a joke? What happened to these young people! Chief An Shengwei became more and more angry as he thought about it.
The other elders also had the same thoughts, and they immediately scolded them!
"Yes, I wouldn't believe it, but now you use your soul to look at the West Vientiane City and see the flags hanging." Ye Wansheng pointed to the back and said.
Everyone stopped arguing and immediately looked over with their soul thoughts...
The flags of the three major palaces are all holy yellow, the Soul Palace is the flag of the Seven Figures of the Holy Grace, the Nightmare Palace is the Nightmare banner, and the Soul Pet Palace is the simple crown flag. Usually these flags will definitely be hung on some lighthouses and sentinel...
However, when they swept away with their soul thoughts, there were not many such flags in the entire west city!
Even, Chao Lengchuan saw that right in the center of the three major palaces, the highest banner of the Soul Hall was slowly sliding down under the rays of the setting sun!
The highest flag fell down. This did not mean that night fell, but an announcement that this place was no longer the territory of the faction represented by the flag!
But how is this possible! In just one month without contact with the main city, the three dominant palaces lost the Vientiane City!
