The reason why he ordered the troops to retreat was not because he was afraid of the magic weapon in Emperor Shi Tian's hand, but because the appearance of the magic weapon would easily attract the attention of the higher-ups. What they did in the human world could not be exposed. Therefore, he could only temporarily withdraw his troops. Then he would take Emperor Shi Tian's Ling Tian Sword in his hands, and then attack again. It would become easy to take down Tianze in one fell swoop, and there would be no danger of exposing his identity.
And you can use this time to investigate the origins of Emperor Shi Tian and Ling Tian Dao, and confirm Emperor Shi Tian's identity. When I came here, my master said that I should act cautiously and not cause unnecessary trouble.
The Lingtian Sword was pitch black, with a faint cold glow on the blade. It matched the black robe of Emperor Shitian. Standing in mid-air, with silver hair flying, he looked so imposing that one man could block a thousand.
The moment they saw Emperor Shi Tian, the people of Tian Ze were like taking stimulants. The soldiers who were exhausted were revitalized; the people who had given up resistance took up their swords again. Emperor Shi Tian was like the sun rising at dawn, like a sweet spring in the desert.
People say he is as cold as iron, but he is also as hard as iron. Everyone believes that as long as Emperor Shi Tian is there, they have hope.
"Long live the king! Long live the king! Long live the king!"
The deafening shouts echoed across the entire Yanglin Thirteen States, reaching the sky. The morale of the entire army reached a boiling point in an instant. Amidst the overwhelming shouts, it seemed as if one could see the blazing flames of Tianze.
Because of the poison in Emperor Shi Tian's body, he was somewhat powerless every time he used the Lingtian Sword.
But if you are not an expert, you can't see this.
But no matter what, he couldn't fall down. He was protecting this city and its people.
Just when everyone was preparing for an all-out battle, a horn to retreat was heard from the opposite side.
This situation caught everyone by surprise.
They were clearly about to win, so why did they call off the battle? This was a common puzzlement among the coalition forces and the military and civilians of Tianze, because everyone knew that with the strength of the coalition forces, it was only a matter of time before they could capture the thirteen states of Yanglin. Even their city lords had already made preparations for the evacuation of the people's families, but they did not expect such a turn of events to occur.
Could it be that they are afraid of their king
Come to think of it, this is the only reason that can explain it. After all, they were so vigorous and confident just now, but as soon as the king went into battle, they suddenly retreated.
But no matter what, their city was temporarily saved, and their crisis was delayed. As long as there was another half day, Tianze's reinforcements should be able to arrive at the battlefield.
Emperor Shitian was also puzzled by the coalition's actions. However, since the enemy had retreated, Tianze's army could take a break for a while.
"Pass the order down, the three armies will rest in batches and be on standby at any time."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The moment Emperor Shi Tian turned around, he met a pair of evil eyes. Even though he was wearing a beast mask, it couldn't hide his hostility. This man was weird all over, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.
"Who is he?" Staring at the disgusting eyes, Emperor Shitian asked. Perhaps there was a kind of hostility between the former and the latter. Inexplicably, he felt that the man was very dangerous.
Looking in the direction where Emperor Shitian was looking, Liu Minsheng also saw the man.
"He should be the representative of the alliance chosen by the seven nations. I have investigated his identity, but I know nothing about him. This person seemed to have dropped from the sky, and there is no information about him. We only know that this person has strange martial arts and unpredictable skills. He must have some extraordinary qualities to be chosen as the representative of the alliance. I am incompetent and don't have much information about this person."
It was as if he had dropped from the sky, and there was no news. This person...
With his brows furrowed tightly together, Emperor Shi Tian felt a bad premonition growing in his heart.
The man in black also felt the inquiry from Emperor Shi Tian, raised his eyes, fought back directly, met Emperor Shi Tian's gaze, and then curled his lips and smiled. He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck, which was full of provocation. The innate arrogance made him completely ignore Emperor Shi Tian.
The word "disdainful" is not enough to describe his arrogance at this moment.
Liu Minsheng naturally saw the man's provocation to the king and was very unhappy. Moreover, the man looked very evil and was not a good person at first glance.
“Your Majesty, would you like me to investigate further?” Since this person could attract the king’s attention, there must be something different about him.
Facing the provocation of the man in black, Emperor Shitian's demeanor remained the same as usual. After a moment, he turned around and walked into the city. A sentence floated faintly in the wind.
"No."
If he is not from their human world, no matter how much investigation is done, it will be in vain.
After Emperor Shi Tian left, Liu Minsheng and Jiliko devoted themselves to the arrangements of defense and repair.
Ever since Ling'er released the news that she was seriously injured, assassins came to kill her one after another, and the means of assassination were endless. They used open and covert attacks, ambushes, disguises, threats and inducements, almost everything was used. However, Ling'er used the excuse of being seriously injured and hid in the carriage, and never showed up.
The security forces around the carriage were like a solid wall of steel. No matter how skilled the assassins were, they could never get within one meter of the carriage.
Actually, we have to thank Hong Yan for this. If we only rely on the soldiers of Fengguo and ordinary carriages, we can't do this. The reason why such a solid barrier is formed is because of Hong Yan's tempering fire.
The fire of quenching is the innate flame of the Fire Spirit Pearl. It takes thousands of years of cultivation to condense into shape, and only a little bit can be cultivated in a thousand years. It is said that things are precious because they are rare. The reason why this quenching fire is precious is not only because it is hard to come by, but also because of its magical effect.
It can form a solid protective film on the surface of any person or thing, increasing the ability to resist attacks a hundredfold. This time, Hong Yan spent a lot of money to protect Ling'er. Not only did he set up a barrier around the carriage, but he also placed the power of flames on the guards. So now these secret guards who protect Ling'er are equivalent to indestructible cockroaches.
Seeing that Ling'er's carriage had traveled safely all the way, a smile appeared on Hong Yan's pale face.
The seal on his body had not been removed, and he forcibly mobilized his own flame, which was equivalent to killing one thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred of his own. But in order to protect Ling'er, he had no choice but to do it.
"Cough, cough, cough..." His life force decreased, causing his internal energy to become unstable. His physical condition at the moment was like that of a severely injured human. A faint smell of blood came from the corner of his mouth, and Hong Yan wiped it away slowly.
Before Ling'er entered the carriage, she specifically instructed that no one should disturb her no matter what happened. Although I didn't quite understand Ling'er's intention, since she gave the order, there must be a reason for it.
But no one knew that while everyone was coveting this carriage, the people in the carriage had already been in the capital of Feng Kingdom.
He was dressed in a purple robe, with a face as white as jade, and holding a folding fan in his five white fingers, looking very romantic.
At this moment, Ling'er took off her usual girlish attire, dressed up as a handsome young man, and walked in the capital of Feng Kingdom with a swagger.
Although there was no disguise, very few people had seen Shangguan Yunxiao's true face, so even if they met face to face, probably no one would recognize her as Shangguan Yunxiao. So Ling'er was not worried at all about her identity being exposed.
She drew everyone's attention to Shangguan Yunxiao's way back to Beijing, just to make things easier for her, and also to paralyze Feng Xian'er. People are most likely to reveal flaws only when they are at their most proud.
Although Tian knew what happened eighteen years ago, the death of her uncle was still a mystery. Her intuition told her that this matter must be directly related to the old woman Feng Xian'er. Moreover, ordinary people could not be Xia Shang's opponent, so she must find out the truth about this matter. And if she wanted to help Di Shitian overcome this difficulty, she must rely on the power of Feng Country.
After eating and drinking, Ling'er said, "Boss, please settle the bill." Putting the change on the table, she got up and left.
But before he could step out of the door, he was stopped by a dirty hand.
Stand still and stare.
I saw a huge monster standing in front of me. How should I describe it? It was like a lump of meat was piled in front of me.
My god, can pork belly walk in this day and age
"Boy, which family are you from? You are so handsome." Suddenly, the pile of meat in front of him made a sound. Well, it turned out to be a person.
But damn, how did he get so fat
It was the first time that Ling'er saw someone so fat.
"Boy, my master is asking you a question, are you stupid? Why don't you answer quickly?" The woman who spoke was dressed in servant's clothes, and must be the servant of this woman. However, it is not difficult to see from the arrogant tone that they are not good people with high quality.
Ling'er took a step back and bowed, "I am not from Feng Country, but I am just passing by here. I have heard about the customs and practices of Feng Country for a long time, so I want to come in and experience it. If I have offended you, I hope you will forgive me." She spoke gently and politely with a smile on her face. The man who was already very good-looking made people feel even more tempted at this moment. Especially that voice, it was hard to tell whether it was male or female, and it was particularly pleasant to hear.
The guests around couldn't help but worry for this young man. Another good cabbage was going to be eaten by a pig.
"So he's from outside, then..." Before the servant could finish his words, he was pushed aside by the master.
"Hehehe, what did you call me just now? Beautiful lady, hehehe, you have good taste. This outsider man is different, his aesthetic standards are so high, just to my taste. Boy... Oh... No no no no, it's young master. Since young master appreciates me so much, why don't you be husband and wife with me and live in harmony with me." As he said that, he opened his arms and moved towards Ling'er's petite body.
Oh my god, what is going on? I’m being raped!
It happened in a flash. Before Ling'er had time to think, she waved her hand lightly at the waiter holding the teapot. The waiter staggered and pounced towards the lump of meat.
"Ahh, get out of the way..."
"Master, be careful!"
The piece of meat called the master saw the teapot coming towards him and immediately wanted to stop, but because his body was too heavy, it was too late. The original forward lunge turned into a sideways roll, and the waiter and the pot of tea fell on the piece of meat.
"ah!"
There was a scream, so deafening that the whole inn was shaken. The wailing was like a pig being slaughtered, my God.
"Ahh, it hurts so much, it hurts so much..."
The freshly boiled tea was poured all over the piece of meat, scalding it red.
"Ah, it hurts so much, ah, it hurts so much, please find a doctor for me, ah, it hurts so much..."
"Master, Master, are you okay? Master, my God, what should I do? Come quickly, call the imperial physician..." The servant was extremely anxious when he saw that piece of flesh was injured. His expression was almost like he was on the guillotine.
"Miss, if you don't mind, I have a bottle of medicine for treating burns. Just apply it and the pain will go away immediately." Ling'er stepped forward, took out a small green bottle from her bosom, and handed it over. (To be continued)
