Chapter 52: Friend or Foe
In a secret room in the city lord's mansion, the city lord wearing the official mansion is standing in front of a small magic circle, the magic circle is carved with unknown pen and ink, the lines on it are extremely cumbersome, ordinary people will feel dizzy at a glance, the periphery of the circle, eight unknown crystal-like stones scattered in eight corners, the city lord threw a silk book in the center of the circle, there are words in his mouth, it seems to be chanting a complicated retro spell, a moment later, after the chanting, he took out a piece of yellow jade from his arms, inserted it in the center of the circle, countless lines suddenly brightened, from the outside to the inside, and finally all merged into the center of the circle, and finally, the light flashed, and the silk book in the center of the circle suddenly disappearedThen, the lord of the castle also left.
Somewhere in the Kyoto Imperial Palace, the old eunuch who was in charge of guarding and monitoring the teleportation array hurriedly ran towards the emperor's bedroom, although this old eunuch was also a cultivator, but because he was in the palace and went to the emperor's bedroom, he didn't dare to fly in the air, but at this moment his speed was fast enough.
"Gonggong Liu, where are you going in such a hurry?" asked the little eunuch who was in charge of guarding outside the main hall knowingly.
"Hurry up and inform the emperor that the old slave has something important to see. The old eunuch said hurriedly.
"What's so urgent, Your Majesty is already asleep now, yesterday I reviewed the recital all night, and I finally got to rest, but don't disturb the emperor, let's talk about it in a few hours." The little eunuch said unhurriedly.
"The situation is urgent, if Gonggong Li is afraid that the emperor will blame him, the old slave is willing to bear it. "Gonggong Liu has never been in such a hurry, the teleportation array in the East China Sea has not been opened for more than how many years, and now it must have encountered a major event, and the area is remote, even if the troops are dispatched, it will take a lot of time, so there is no room for a moment's delay.
"Gonggong Liu, please go back, I really can't afford to be charged with disturbing the holy driver. The little eunuch still didn't buy it.
Seeing that the other party didn't buy it, the old eunuch gritted his teeth ruthlessly, pushed it away with one palm, and came to the door of the main hall of the emperor's bedroom like a swimming fish. However, before he could speak, several dark shadows suddenly stopped him.
"Your Majesty's personal guard-Suiying" The old eunuch secretly said that it was not good, he used Yuan Li just now, which attracted the attention of the guards, and he knew the strength of these people very well, and if he delayed it, it would be a dead end.
"Your Majesty, the old slave has something to ask to see, and I hope Your Majesty will grant permission. When he spoke, he mobilized his vitality to ensure that the emperor could hear his voice, so that even if he was killed by the shadow, he would definitely attract the emperor's attention, and the silk book on his body would definitely be discovered.
"What are you waiting for, this person broke into the emperor's bedroom, intending to assassinate His Majesty, and did not take him down and put him on death row. The little eunuch shouted at the top of his voice.
A few of the surrounding guards were just about to step forward when they heard a voice full of majesty: "Let him inβ"
The waves on the beach are beating on the beach, the birds in the sky are mostly petrels, Lu Xiaoyao's right hand holding the sword has been numb, his left hand took the sword, pointing at the woman opposite, hundreds of guards behind him are holding strong bows and crossbows, looking at everything that happened in front of them expressionlessly, the defeat of the main general did not affect their morale, Lu Xiaoyao glanced back, felt very satisfied, the haze in his heart was swept away, he looked at the woman opposite and smiled: " See, even if the main general is defeated, my soldiers still haven't taken a step back, these are all soldiers trained by Lao Tzu! Do you think they will be afraid of death?!"
"The soldiers are here! The soldiers are dead!" the hundreds of crossbowmen behind him shouted in unison, as if they were about to drown out the waves.
For the first time, the woman's eyes showed a contemplative look, the big ship behind her had already docked, and she only needed to give an order to land, but was it really good to be an enemy of such an army, and what kind of country could have these brave warriors who were not afraid of death.
"I admire your courage, but I also have my own position, I am indeed here to avoid trouble, maybe you can ask your superiors. β
"There is no need to ask for instructions, I am the lord of Donghai City, the territory of the Han Dynasty, and I will not allow outsiders to invade, otherwise I will not have the face to see the emperor. The City Lord of the East China Sea rushed over and stood beside Lu Xiaoyao and said.
"Why are you here, who will preside over the big array in the city. Lu Xiaoyao asked.
"I have already conveyed a message to the palace, as for the city protection array, with this transcendent grandmaster here, plus the artillery of the opponent's battleship, I am afraid that it will not last long, not to mention, there are probably more terrifying characters in the ship who have not made a move. With that, he looked meaningfully at the central main ship.
"In that case, let's explain it to the two of us here today. Lu Xiaoyao said.
"I want to die with the general. The hundreds of sergeants behind him shouted in unison again.
The city lord took out a judge's pen, which was his weapon, and at the same time, several spars in his hand were scattered around, forming a simple magic circle.
The woman knew that the few people in front of her had already reported their mortal intentions, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, didn't she just borrow a way, why did she have to die or live, how big a thing, why are these Orientals so brainless, so he decided to give these people a little bit of power, but in the future, the sword was drawn, and there was a sound from the fleet behind him.
A golden light flashed on the main ship, and a man with a dazzling light appeared next to the woman, the light was dazzling, and it was difficult to see the other party's face, but he could feel that the other party was a man, and he held a long weapon in his hand, which seemed to be a spear.
"Why did you come down, I can solve it here, who is protecting Her Royal Highness the Princess?" the woman was a little angry.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess has Kai Lin and Sailen to protect you, I just felt a powerful aura, that person's strength is by no means below me. The man said earnestly.
"I didn't expect to meet such a master just after arriving on the coast, the East is really a strange place. β
"Maybe we're just unlucky, but why hasn't that friend shown up yet. "The man pointed a gun at a reef.
"Ahem, I said you two boys are really brainless, people just want to borrow a way, can you take this life. A middle-aged scholar walked out from behind the reef, holding an old book in his hand and wearing an old clothes, looking lively.
"These people from other continents have bad intentions, and they hope that their predecessors will help. Lu Xiaoyao pleaded.
"The strong man of the East, I am just here to avoid the calamity, and I want to help. The man with the gun said.
"That's it, it's a little difficult for you two little guys to make decisions, for the sake of the old man's face, let them pass. After speaking, he had an extra token in his hand, boxy, and an easy character was engraved in the middle.
When the two of them saw the token, they were shocked: "This is the token of the three giants of the academy? You, you are Mr. Yi?"
The middle-aged scholar felt a little inexplicably proud when he saw their reactions, and couldn't help but secretly wonder when he began to care about these false names, and said with his hands behind his back: "Yes, the old man Yi Wuji." "A master's demeanor, quite like a fairy.
The two looked at each other, secretly thinking to themselves, the academy is not just the academy of the Han Dynasty, to be exact, he does not belong to the Han Dynasty, he is the academy of the entire eastern soil, and it is also the foundation of the Han Dynasty.
Lu Xiaoyao looked at the hundreds of guards behind him, and thought that most of their families were in the city, so he sighed, waved his hand to signal everyone behind him to put down their weapons, and said, "Okay, if Your Majesty blames, I will bear it." β
"The strong man of the East, I thank you on behalf of the British royal family, but I still have to remind you that we really have no ill intentions, but there will be pursuers in three days at most, although your strength is very strong, but the cultivation of some of them is not below you. The man reminded.
"It doesn't bother you. Mr. Yi said lightly.
After discussion, several people decided that the fleet was allowed to enter Hailong Bay, but only a small number of people were allowed to enter the city, and the rest of the men and horses must be stationed outside the city, for which the man said that they would not stay too long, and needed to go inland, and at the same time hoped to reach the other party's Kyoto to visit His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and exchange finance for a territory to block the later pursuers.
In this regard, the city lord said that he needed to ask for instructions again, and the man with the gun agreed, and asked people to transfer a batch of gifts to each other, the two saw each other's goodwill, and their anger gradually eased, no longer as tense as just now, and finally, the two withdrew to the cabin, and said that except for some personnel to go into the city to purchase supplies, the rest of the personnel will not enter the city, which also made the two of them have a good impression of the wind.
Seven large ships, each of which can accommodate at least a few hundred people, and the largest one can definitely accommodate nearly a thousand people, and a group of soldiers wearing armor and holding round shields and spears are in formation, and their movements are neat and uniform, and they are much higher than their defenders in terms of momentum alone.
"This army is definitely not inferior to the four ace armies of our Han Dynasty guarding the border passes. Lu Xiaoyao commented.
The opponent's armor and weapons are very sophisticated, and the movements are uniform, there is no trace of fluctuation in his eyes, and his whole body exudes a solemn aura, which can definitely be sharpened after countless lives and deaths.
"If there is no Mr. Yi, we will hold out for half an hour at most. The city lord said after calculating in his heart.
"If that man had made a move, it might not have taken half an hour. Lu Xiaoyao said meaningfully.
"Anyway, there should be no ill will on the other side, but they are not the biggest problem, and I need to write another letter. "The city lord said.
"The consumption of a teleportation is too huge, and there is not much hedron left. Lu Xiaoyao seemed a little distressed.
"The other party gave a lot of good things just now, you don't have to worry about this, but you still can't relax your vigilance at night, with Mr. Yi here, I don't think the other party will mess around." β
Mr. Yi left after persuading the two, and seemed to think that it was not a big deal at all, and it was also because the two of them couldn't let go.
"The storm is coming, I have a hunch, maybe this **** will be worse than the one a thousand years ago. Lu Xiao looked at the sea.
"A thousand years ago, the foundation of the Han Dynasty in the east of my country was still shallow, and the academy was not established, but it was still able to protect the land of the whole country, and now my Han Dynasty is thriving, and the academy has cultivated many heroes and heroes for thousands of years, so there is no need to worry. The city lord was very emotional about this.
"Let's hope soβ"
