_Chapter 7: Invasion of the Beasts?
In the secret room of the side hall, Li Xiang was challenging with Li Xiang, the auxiliary marshal of the fiefdom joint defense army, to discuss the next step on the deployment of troops. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The Coalition Defense Army is an army that the Empire allows the major fiefs to form in order to protect their fiefdoms.
"The king of the county, the palace gate is equipped with magic weapons, and more than a dozen of them are unable to fly with wings, so why do they still carry out strict control in the outer city?"
In order to let Li Xiang have the corresponding noble status and marry Jin Raozhi, Li Xiang was specially awarded the title of county king before marriage. From this point alone, the weight of Jin Raozhi in the empress's mind can be seen. In private, Li Xiang's cronies knew his likes and dislikes, and they all respectfully called him the king of the county, not the master of the horse.
Lee's challenge is certainly no exception.
"Princess Jinzhu's more than a dozen personal soldiers are all elite soldiers, plus Hei Yichen's skills, if they want to break through the door with an iron mind, I'm afraid it will not be easy to keep them. Moreover, in order to save their lives, although the officials of the fiefdom all pledged allegiance to the king, it was difficult to guarantee that there would not be one or two traitors. By the way, this time you have to show me Liu Yunhao's stubborn old man, don't let him have time to find Princess Jinzhu. Li Xiang played with the ring on his hand with both hands, revealing a slightly thoughtful expression.
Li Challenge asked puzzledly, "King Jun, are you still waiting for someone from the Xuan Beast Empire to ......come?" It's more than enough to deal with a few of them. ”
"There are not many generals on the other side of the mountain, and the level is not high enough, not to mention that the training time is too short, this king still feels that it is not enough insurance. Just let them live a few more days. In the past few days, the king has been in retreat, so that they cannot find me, and they will not be able to get permission to enter and leave the palace. You have to keep an eye on this......"
"Tuk, tuk......"
The secret horn sounded, and soon Gu Ou walked in quickly.
After the ceremony, Gu Ou briefly reported the scene when Jin Zhu and Jin Raozhi met.
"Very well, Gu Ou, you continue to send the maids in the palace to keep an eye on them. Jin Raozhi has no use value, but on the surface, he still has to stabilize the gold bead. You serve this eldest princess with the highest standard, go to the treasury and get some things for her to enjoy, and you must not tear your face unless you have to. As for that Hei Yichen, a man from the village and a gangster, prepare him with more wine and beauties to test his nature. A person who is involved in the underworld, no matter how heroic he is, he only bends his waist for money, so let's just send him away. ”
After Gu Ou received the order to leave, the thoughtful Li Xiang instructed Li to challenge again: "You go to the other side of the mountain, so and so ......."
The plants in the garden are extremely rare, and the autumn season is full of colorful flowers. Hei Yichen took a pot of wine and sat alone in the high pavilion and poured himself a drink.
An old man with a white beard walked through the avenue outside the courtyard again, walking in a hurry, but at a loss. This man has been wandering back and forth several times.
"Liu Fushangshu, come up for a drink?"
Liu Yunhao raised his head suddenly, and saw Hei Yichen in the pavilion leaning crookedly, looking cynical, he hesitated for a moment in his heart, but still walked up stiffly.
As soon as Liu Yunhao sat down, Hei Yichen handed him the wine jug in his hand, Liu Yunhao took it and poured it violently.
"I've been stopped by Gu Ou, and I can't see Princess Jinzhu?" Hei Yichen said casually.
Liu Yunhao's eyes froze, he choked suddenly, and coughed non-stop.
Hei Yichen smiled and continued to look uninhibited, "Don't worry, there are magic weapons here, and no one can eavesdrop." You are a retainer of King Rao's father, and you are loyal to the person who framed King Rao, and your conscience has been eaten by dogs?"
The old man's face was flushed with scolding, and he said in a low voice: "The officials of the fiefdom are all forced to obey without exception, and they and their families are forced to take the Heart-Eating Pill, don't dare to disobey." I know your bottom line, you don't have to use the agitation method, the old man came to save King Rao, but unfortunately he was blocked by Gu Ou many times. ”
Hei Yichen smiled, "You can beg me." ”
For such impolite words, the old man's eyes lit up instead of anger, "Yes, yes, you can." It is said that you have pursued the lord of Rao......"
Liu Yunhao looked around, and in the distance, Gu Ou was running quickly.
"Something is thrown under the table, there is a mechanism there. Hei Yichen moved his lips, and an extremely small voice spoke.
Liu Yunhao was so nervous that he dropped the wine jug on the ground, he hurriedly leaned over to check it up, and instantly threw a double-sided embroidered cloth bag in his arms under the table.
"Please, leave it to Princess Jinzhu......" Liu Yunhao said solemnly.
Hei Yichen calmly took a sip of the wine in his hand.
Meticulous, straightforward, stubborn, cautious, and a kind-hearted old man. This is his preliminary assessment of Liu Yunhao.
Hei Yichen's first impression of Liu Yunhao was very good, and he himself did not expect that Liu Yunhao would become one of his followers in the future. This inconspicuous old man, in the future, can be said to be an important arm of Hei Yichen.
"Gu Ou, thank you for the good wine you sent! Would you also come up and take a few sips?" Hei Yichen shouted down.
Liu Yunhao was so frightened that he trembled all over, and when he meowed to the bottom of the table, he found that there was nothing, and his almost suffocating heart settled down.
Gu Ou arrived in a hurry, and didn't find anything suspicious, he politely greeted a few words, watched Liu Yunhao say goodbye, and then followed Liu Yunhao out. Liu Yunhao is a huge variable, and the person Li Xiang and Gu Ou are most worried about is him!
As soon as he finished destroying the traces, Hei Yichen saw the only female official in the fiefdom, Commander Qin Shuyao, hurriedly walking by, followed by more than a dozen Praetorian Guards.
Qin Shuyao was in charge of the Praetorian Guard under King Rao, and after King Rao's accident, he was able to win Li Xiang's trust and continue to be in charge of the Praetorian Guard.
As the saying goes, "once a son of heaven is a courtier", how can it be so easy for an old minister to be reused by Li Xiang? !
It's not a simple woman!
"Something went wrong......"
Hei Yichen sat calmly, changed a pot of tea in the wine jug and tasted it slowly, and sat firmly until dark.
Hei Yichen's vigorous figure flashed into the house silently, and he said coldly to the empty room: "What a coincidence?"
"Hmph, something happened to the fiefdom. You're really calm. ”
This guy actually made fun of me with this! Jin Zhu's face turned red, showing his figure, and he was very dissatisfied with Hei Yichen's attitude. As soon as she heard that something was wrong, she rushed over, and it had been a good hour before Hei Yichen came in leisurely, so how could she not be annoyed.
"You're well-informed. How do you know if something is wrong...... Or is it a decoy?"
Hei Yichen already understood the situation very thoroughly without leaving home. He also believed that in the fiefdom, there was still a secret line secretly arranged by the empress to reveal the news to Jinzhu.
It's just that a group of mysterious beasts can break into the heavily guarded fiefdom palace in broad daylight?
Since he guessed a little bit of conspiracy and traps, Hei Yichen certainly wanted to ensure the safety of the two beauties first. Therefore, he did not intend to meddle in this matter in the first place.
Jin Zhu exclaimed, "Bait? It's not impossible. However, Qin Shuyao and her Praetorian Guards suffered heavy casualties, and at least half of them died in the battle. If it's a bait, it's too big!"
Jin Zhu also once suspected that the mysterious beast invaded the palace with such fanfare, and its behavior looked very unusual, and it might have nothing to do with him.
However, Jin Zhu knew better than Hei Yichen that the Praetorian Guard soldiers were to protect the existence of the highest level, and every Praetorian Guard soldier was a person who "fought one against a hundred". To train a Praetorian Guard, it takes time, money, and material resources to be very terrifying. Who would want to use them as bait?!
"The Mysterious Beast suddenly launched a large-scale attack on the Imperial Palace, and the direction of the attack was a few thousand meters away from your courtyard. Moreover, the cliffs near the peaks in that direction did not place guards and lighting. Hei Yichen paused for a moment and continued: "The time of the Xuan Beast's attack is close to evening, and the blow will be retreated, it seems that it is deliberately to make us defensive, or to make us curious, isn't it like it is attracting us to participate? ”
It's just that this is a bit of a suspicion of killing chickens with a knife. This is something that Hei Yichen has always been unable to understand.
Obviously, you can do it directly, but it takes so much time, what do you want?
Jin Zhu also knew that this group of mysterious beasts was too strange. Mysterious beasts live in the barren primeval forest, just imagine how a large number of mysterious beasts can occur in an imperial fiefdom?
Jin Zhu lost his mind for a while, and said, "Even so, I still want to know where these mysterious beasts came from. Could it be that this is the 'Death Tribe' formed by Li Li?
Hei Yichen looked at Jin Zhu speechlessly like an idiot, "Do you believe Li Xiang's nonsense, if Li Li has such ability, can Li Xiang still sit firmly on the dragon chair and control the overall situation?"
"I ......" Jin Zhu blushed when he was scolded, but there were no words to refute it. In fact, the last sentence was also added by her casually, but it provoked Hei Yichen's merciless ridicule of her. This guy didn't think of himself as a girl!
"You have your soldiers gathered near your courtyard, so that it is easy to defend yourself. We went stealthily and went to the cliff to have a look. ”
Jin Zhu nodded, and disappeared in an instant.
