In the Guan Mansion, the two heads of the Liu family and the Guan family, as well as the envoy of the Holy Empire, were still sitting on the edge of the stone table, leisurely sipping the top tea.

Of course, whether their hearts are as relaxed and laid-back as they appear, only they know.

The subordinate soldiers held weapons in their hands and waited for battle, staring closely at Li Yongchang and the others in the thin transparent light curtain.

As the time limit of an hour approached, except for Li Yongchang, the people in the Ultimate Guardian couldn't help but feel anxious.

"My lord, the time is almost up."

A henchman leaned into Li Yongchang's ear and reminded in a low voice.

"yes, I see." Li Yongchang's expression remained unchanged, and he responded lightly.

Seeing that he didn't say anything else, the henchman didn't say anything more, and retreated stupidly.

Li Yongchang looked left and right, taking in everyone's expressions.

Guan Renjie sat cross-legged upright, his face was unwavering, and his right index finger lightly touched the ground for a while, but there was no regularity at all.

The two have been brothers for decades, and Li Yongchang knows him well, this small action may not be realized by Guan Renjie himself, but it exposes that he is starting to be a little nervous in his heart.

"Don't worry, wait a little longer, reinforcements will arrive soon."

Li Yongchang opened his mouth to comfort.

His voice was soft, not impassioned like a speech. But everyone, including Guan Renjie, listened to the flat but calm voice, and their minds relaxed inexplicably, and they also regained their confidence and fighting spirit.

Yes, the city lord is in danger like them, and he has prepared a life-saving hole card like the ultimate guard, how can he be unprepared in other aspects. As long as they obey the orders of the city lord and wait with peace of mind, victory will still be on their side.

Just like every time you've been challenged.

After a small commotion, the Ultimate Guardian returned to peace.

It's just that no matter inside or outside the transparent light curtain, the atmosphere of the mountain rain is slowly accumulating and condensing.

After a while, a man rushed in from outside.

The three people on the edge of the stone table turned their heads suddenly, and looked at the man together, moving quickly and in unison.

From this simple action, it can be seen that Liu Yulong and others are by no means as calm as they seem.

"The head of the family, the eldest prince is on a mission in the City Lord's Mansion, everything went well in the early stage, and he has already controlled the people in the mansion, and he is about to escort him to the Guan Mansion. Who knew that the missing Li Ruizhi suddenly appeared with troops and surrounded the eldest prince and others. Moreover, the Li family's steward Li was actually a martial arts master, and with the sudden attack, the eldest prince was not wary for a while, and was held hostage by him...... Now the eldest prince and his soldiers have been disarmed and escorted to the camp of the army. ”

"What?!" Zhang Yuebo stood up, shocked and angry.

The person who came was the Zhang family's family, and he was not as particular as Liu Yulong, so he directly let people tell the intelligence news in public.

Zhang Yuebo was shocked that his son was captured, while Liu Yulong had a gloomy face, because the plan of the City Lord's Mansion also died. Together with the failure of the struggle for military power in the barracks, the two killer weapons he laid have all been declared completely bankrupt.

Coupled with the situation here, although it still has the upper hand and the initiative, it is not smooth at all......

was originally a well-arranged, full of killing opportunities, and the plan of attacking wave after wave, but now it seems to be more like a joke, not only was it cracked by the opponent one by one, but it also made its side lose its troops. Li Yongchang is really so cunning and well-prepared? Is he still like for decades, pressed by him and never able to turn over?

I will not be reconciled!

Liu Yulong roared in his heart, his fists clenched, and he almost crushed a mouthful of steel teeth.

The envoy of the Holy Empire watched coldly, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

The victory or defeat of the Liu family, the Zhang family and the Li family in the battle for Gaozhou City has not yet been decided, but in the competition at the junior level, the dust has settled at this moment. Liu Yanghui and Zhang Pengfei were defeated and captured one after another, and Li Ruizhi, who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, won alone.

Perhaps, this is also a rehearsal of the final result of the dark battle in Gaozhou City?

"Hahahaha!"

A burst of sudden laughter came, and Liu Yulong and the others looked angrily at the voice, but it was Li Yongchang who was full of smiles and was very happy.

"Master Liu, it looks like your arrangements in other places are not going well! Otherwise, we will give up your rebellious plan and arrest the people from this Holy Empire and hand them over to me. I, Li Yongchang, swear to the sky to keep your Liu and Zhang families safe and sound, and be a rich man happily. ”

It's a solid proposition, at least in the face of the current unfavorable situation. The family members and samurai who were waiting for the battle involuntarily turned their heads to look at their masters.

Zhang Yuebo was silent, unable to see what was going on in his heart. The Holy Empire's emissary changed his face and he opened his mouth, but he couldn't think of what to say in this situation.

Liu Yulong glared at Li Yongchang viciously, as if his gaze could kill.

"Li Yongchang, you have to sow discord and demagoguery. The military camp and the city lord's mansion are only two points in our plan, and even if they fail, they will not affect the overall situation. At the very least, you, the biggest leader of Gaozhou City, are still under our siege. You're starting to smug your surrender now, isn't it a little earlier? ”

Liu Yulong This is a dead chicken supporting the rice cover, purely pasting gold on his face. His plan is indeed huge and thorough, but it is mostly harassment and containment, and the real killer moves are just a few points. The big battalion in the army and the city lord's mansion failed one after another, and he didn't have many cards to play in his hand.

It's just that what he said does sound like that, no matter what the situation in other places is, as long as the city lord Li Yongchang is caught by them, he can win back all the losses in front of him.

The soldiers' eyes lit up, and they clenched the weapons in their hands, and their eyes became sharp again when they looked at the ultimate protection.

The messenger secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his face became a little better.

Li Yongchang stood up, walked to the edge of the transparent light curtain, and reached out to touch it gently. The light curtain was not aggressive, it was soft and elastic to the touch. But who would have thought that such a thin layer of light curtain that seemed to break at the slightest poke would block all violent attacks.

"I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch. For the sake of the past, I have left you a way to live. However, the master of the Liu family, you are going to rush to death, and I can't help it. ”

Liu Yulong sneered, unmoved.

"The kindness of the city lord, Liu Mou understood it. With this kind of leisure and leisure, the city lord should think about his own situation first. ”

As he spoke, he walked over to Li Yongchang. Separated by a layer of ultimate protection, the brothers of life and death in the past finally faced each other face to face. There is no nostalgia for the friendship of the past, and the eyes meet, bursting out with fierce sparks.

"The city lord is in a hurry to persuade him to surrender, but because of panic, his heart is empty?"

Li Yongchang smiled dumbly: "What do I have to panic about?" ”

Liu Yulong stared at his eyes tightly, as if to find out the truth of his words.

"Because the ultimate protection is about to fail, and the reinforcements that the city lord has been waiting for have not yet appeared."

He smiled suddenly, as if he had insight into the other party's innermost thoughts, full of confidence that everything was under control.

"I have always sent people to monitor the movements in the barracks, so that they can report the news as soon as they have it. Today until now, there is only a team of people in the barracks brought out by your son Li Ruizhi. But instead he went to the city lord's mansion to rescue his mother and sister. After relieving the city lord's mansion, he also did not come to help you, Lao Tzu, but took most of the soldiers and horses and went straight to the north city gate. ”

Liu Yulong said with a smile on his face, but his eyes fell on Li Yongchang's face like a knife. Seeing that the latter's face was calm, not wavering, and not as anxious as he expected, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart.

"Li Ruizhi has been pretending to be sloppy for so many years, and his heart is resolute and forbearing, and he is indeed a very person. You have taken the bait to attract the attention of all of us, but you have pressed the treasure on this precious son, which is really beyond our expectations. I have to admit that most of your plans have been successful. However, Li Ruizhi has perfectly concealed the entire Gaozhou City for so many years, how can you be sure that he will not even hide the past from you, the old man? ”

The people behind Li Yongchang had been listening quietly, and when they arrived here, they also understood what Liu Yulong meant, and they couldn't help but change their faces in unison.

Liu Yulong saw all this out of the corner of his eye, and he was proud in his heart, and he was even more sure of his conjecture.

"You have given him the highest power, created all favorable conditions for him, and even left all the important matters related to the rise and fall of the family to him. It can be said that he already has all the rights that a city lord should have. Solve us rebels, and he has no shortage of prestige. There is only one step left to become the next city lord of Gaozhou City. ”

Li Yongchang's face was still expressionless, in Liu Yulong's opinion, he failed to scare himself and others to surrender, and his son abandoned him, he was now so sad that he had nothing to say.

"This step, it's the current city lord, you dad is going to die! Li Ruizhi, who has insight into the whole plan, doesn't even need to do it himself, as long as he delays a little, we, the enemies, will help him remove the last obstacle to ascending to the throne of the city lord. ”

Liu Yulong's words were like a demon's whisper, cold and sinister.

"Hahahaha! You, Li Yongchang, will calculate and calculate our people. But you never expected that your son would also be calculated, and even you would be calculated. After a lifetime of fighting geese, there will eventually be a time when the geese pecked their eyes. Hahaha! You Li Yongchang also have today! ”

Liu Yulong, who has always been gloomy and calm, laughed loudly, looking like crazy.

The people in the Ultimate Guardian, including Guan Renjie, all stood up, looked shocked and inexplicable, and looked at Li Yongchang in front of them.

The lord remained silent, as if acquiescing, as if speechless.

The sun shone obliquely, pulling a long shadow behind him, and it looked so lonely, lonely, lonely.
