It was late at night on March 30, 1229 in the Ziyun calendar.
Whoosh! !
A huge object flew through the sky from the clouds, as if it turned into a gust of wind, entering the sky above King Chu City, and directly came to the sky above King Chu's Mansion.
After the behemoth paused in the clouds high above the Chu Palace, a powerful voice sounded from its back at the right moment, "Get down!"
Suddenly, the huge thing broke through the clouds and fell towards the Chu Palace.
After the clouds dispersed, a huge roc appeared, its wings spread eight meters wide and majestic.
The Dapeng Bird's body was pale blue, and the pupils of its eyes were pale. It didn't take long before it landed in the vast front yard of Prince Chu's Mansion.
"who?!"
"who?!"
…
The Dapeng bird landed on the ground, and there was a huge movement. Two teams of patrolling guards in the Chu Palace shouted loudly and surrounded them from all directions. The spear heads in their hands shone sharply under the moonlight. And the icy cold light.
However, when the two teams of guards saw the behemoth in front of them clearly through the moonlight, their expressions changed drastically, "Flying... flying birds and monsters?!"
The Dapeng bird in front of us is two meters tall and huge, like a small hill, which invisibly gives people a strong sense of oppression.
"it's me."
Following an old voice, an old figure flew down from the back of the roc and appeared in front of a group of palace guards.
The moonlight fell on the old man's face, causing a group of palace guards to straighten their expressions, and then they all bowed and saluted the old man, "Second Elder."
Obviously, the old man is Xiang Donghua, the second elder of the Chu Palace.
However, after Xiang Donghua landed, he ignored the guards. Instead, he turned to look at Dapeng's back and bowed respectfully, "Commander Xiao, I will take you to see the prince."
"good."
A calm voice came from the back of the roc, and then a burly figure jumped off the back of the roc. His movements were like flowing clouds and flowing water, even smoother than Xiang Donghua's movements just now.
The moonlight shrouded and fell, revealing the owner of this burly figure. He was a middle-aged man wearing golden armor. He looked nearly sixty years old, with half-hundred-year-old hair, a face with curly beard and half white, tiger eyebrows and big eyes, and he was not angry. Power.
"This is the commander of the Yunyang Imperial Palace Guards, Xiao Jiancheng, Commander Xiao."
Xiang Donghua, who was deeply afraid that a group of palace guards would neglect the visitors, solemnly introduced himself to a group of palace guards.
After being stunned for a moment, a group of palace guards all looked horrified and bowed respectfully to the middle-aged man, "I've seen Commander Xiao!"
"Um."
Xiao Jiancheng nodded lightly to a group of palace guards, then looked at Xiang Donghua, "Let's go."
"yes."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Donghua immediately led the way to the residence of their prince in the Chu Palace.
After the two left, the group of guards in Prince Chu's Mansion gradually came to their senses.
"Oh my God! That person just now... turned out to be Xiao Jiancheng, the commander of the imperial guards of the Yunyang Kingdom Palace? It is said that this Xiao Jiancheng has entered the Qi Gathering Perfection ten years ago. Looking at the gathering of the Yunyang Kingdom Royal Palace, Qi Dazhenwu Dao monks can also be ranked at the forefront."
A palace guard whispered.
"This Commander Xiao came to our Western Chu King Ridge four years ago, but he did not enter Chu King City and went directly to the Mizong Forest... The purpose of his visit that time was to hunt down the two animals in the Mizong Forest. Golden-Crowned Eagle.”
"Well, I know that too. It is said that that time, even though Commander Xiao was a Qi-gathering Dzogchen martial arts monk, he still became disgraced in front of the two golden-crowned eagles, and even the people accompanying him died. many."
"The golden-crowned eagle has the advantage of flying. Although it is just a Qi-gathering Little Perfection monster, it is not afraid of Qi-gathering Dzogchen martial arts monks at all."
"It seems that Commander Xiao came this time to avenge his past humiliation."
"There is no guarantee that he will not come."
"If I guess correctly, the big roc bird in front of me is the Qi-gathering Small Perfection Monster Cang Yunpeng tamed by the royal family of Yunyang Kingdom!"
…
Among the guards of Prince Chu's Mansion, there are many well-informed people who know that there is a Qi-gathering Small Perfection Monster Cang Yunpeng in the royal family of Yunyang Kingdom.
"Even Cang Yunpeng is dispatched. It seems that the Yunyang royal family is determined to win this time!"
"Four years ago, if Commander Xiao and Cang Yunpeng came together, the two golden-crowned eagles in the Lost Forest would never be able to escape now."
"The combination of the Qi-gathering Dzogchen martial arts monks and the Qi-gathering Small Perfection monster beasts who have been famous for many years can deal with those two golden-crowned eagles. Isn't it easy to capture them?"
…
Just when a group of guards in the Chu Palace were shocked and did not disperse for a long time, Xiang Donghua, the second elder of the Chu Palace, had already arrived at the residence of Prince Chu with Xiao Jiancheng, the commander of the Yunyang Imperial Palace Guards.
"Your Majesty."
Standing in the spacious courtyard, Xiang Donghua called out to one of the rooms.
Although it was dark at night, the room was brightly lit, and the people inside were obviously not asleep yet.
"Second Elder, are you back so soon?"
As Xiang Donghua finished speaking, a moment later, a surprised voice came from inside.
Soon after the sound came out, accompanied by the sound of the door creaking, the figure of Prince Xiang of Chu strode out of the room.
Now Xiang Xiong was only wearing a nightgown, and he was obviously ready to sleep.
"Commander Xiao?"
As soon as he walked out of the door, Xiang Xiong saw Xiao Jiancheng standing next to Xiang Donghua, and couldn't help being startled for a moment.
He never expected that the Yunyang royal family would send this person this time.
Four years ago, the man in front of me had already come to the Western Chuwangling Mountains once in order to hunt the two golden-crowned eagles, but in the end he returned without success, and even several of the people who accompanied him died.
In his opinion, even though four years had passed, the person in front of him still might not be able to deal with those two golden-crowned eagles.
"Prince Chu, long time no see."
Xiao Jiancheng nodded lightly to Xiang Xiong.
Although the Xiang Xiong in front of him is the prince who controls one of the royal ridges, his status in Yunyang is not as high as his. In addition, the opponent's strength is far inferior to his, so he does not need to salute at all.
On the contrary, Xiang Xiong, after being stunned for a moment, hurriedly bowed and saluted Xiao Jiancheng, "Xiang Xiong, the Prince of Chu's Mansion in the King of Western Chu Ridge, has met Commander Xiao."
Although Xiang Xiong didn't think Xiao Jiancheng was capable of dealing with the two golden-crowned eagles, with Xiao Jiancheng's strength and status, he still didn't dare to neglect them.
"It seems that Prince Chu has no confidence in me."
Xiao Jiancheng has lived for most of his life, how could he not see Xiang Xiong's performance
"Commander Xiao is joking, but Xiang Xiong doesn't dare."
Xiang Xiong smiled awkwardly.
"Your Majesty."
At this moment, Xiang Donghua, who was standing aside, spoke, "Commander Xiao, after he was defeated in front of two golden-crowned eagles four years ago, he began to practice the art of bow and crossbow hard, and later spent a lot of money on it. , from the hands of the second elder of Yaowang Valley, I acquired a second-rate archery martial art called "The Rainbow Arrow."
"Commander Xiao is ashamed of what happened four years ago and has always wanted to avenge his shame."
As Xiang Donghua finished speaking, Xiang Xiong's eyes suddenly lit up, "Four years of hard training in the art of bow and crossbow? The second-rate archery and martial arts "Penetrating Rainbow Arrow"?"
If it were said that just now, he had little confidence in Commander Xiao in front of him.
So, now, I am confident again.
Commander Xiao's achievements in martial arts are enough to show that he is a man with extraordinary talents. After four years of hard training in the art of bow and crossbow, he will definitely achieve something.
In addition, he has practiced a second-rate archery martial art called "Rainbow Arrow". With Commander Xiao's Qi Gathering Perfection strength, it shouldn't be difficult to shoot those two golden-crowned eagles.
"the most important is… "
While Xiang Xiong's eyes lit up, Xiang Donghua continued: "Commander Xiao came this time with the Cang Yunpeng tamed by the royal family."
Almost as soon as Xiang Donghua finished speaking, Xiang Xiong's pupils couldn't help but shrink sharply, "Cang... Cang Yunpeng?!"
Now, he finally knew why the second elder of their Chu Prince's Mansion came back in such a short period of time.
Under normal circumstances, it would take at least nearly four months for the second elder's mount and the foot power of the seventh-level demonic beast Lightning Leopard to travel back and forth between the Imperial City of Chu and the Imperial City of Yunyang.
And now, just over two months later, he is back.
Now it seems that he came back on Cangyunpeng with Commander Xiao in front of him.
"Ha ha… "
After Xiang Xiong came to his senses, he couldn't help but laugh heartily. The laughter stopped after a while.
After the laughter stopped, Xiang Xiong looked at Commander Xiao again, his eyes bursting with powerful confidence, "Commander Xiao, with Cang Yunpeng here... this time, you will be able to easily kill those two golden-crowned eagles!"
"Commander Xiao, when are you going to take action?"
Xiang Xiong asked with a straight face.
"It's been a long and dusty journey, I want to freshen up first, get some sleep, and then take action tomorrow morning."
Xiao Jiancheng said lightly: "Before that, I hope, Prince Chu, you can send someone to keep an eye on that boy and don't let him escape. If he wants to escape, wake me up immediately!"
"yes."
While Xiang Xiong responded respectfully, he asked Xiang Donghua, the second elder of the Chu Palace, to arrange a place for Xiao Jiancheng to rest, while he himself returned to the room to change clothes.
"Your Majesty."
In the room, Fan Ji, who looked charming in a nightgown, asked while watching Xiang Xiong change clothes: "That Commander Xiao, plus Cang Yunpeng from the Yunyang royal family, how can we deal with that The young man and the two golden-crowned eagles beside him should be safe, right?"
"As long as the boy doesn't escape, everything is safe."
After Chu Xiong changed his clothes, he hurried out, "Now, I'm going to find Xue Meng and ask him to send someone to keep an eye on Chuxiu Inn to prevent anyone from tipping off the young man to leave."
"Princess, tomorrow, Commander Xiao and Cang Yunpeng will take action to help you avenge the Fan family's destruction!"
"Tonight, you can have a good sleep."
When Chu Xiong went out, some palace guards who happened to be taking a break spread the news of the arrival of Yunyang Palace Imperial Guard Commander Xiao Jiancheng and Cang Yunpeng to the Chu Palace.
