Chapter 436: Danger lurks

The emperor was in the Ancient Sword Sect, and he was not in a hurry to leave, and there were constant battle reports from Tongmu City. But more than a dozen messages overnight always made him uneasy. In the end, he lost 40,000 Praetorian Guards, and he made a decision, and Zhou Xian of the Ancient Sword Sect took the order and opened the only hole card that was kept.

There is more than one pharmacy in Tongmu City of the Ancient Sword Sect, and each of them has a considerable family background. Wei Jinyun destroyed one, and the others were immediately temporarily closed, and the demon beasts imprisoned in the cellar of the back hall were also moved to the Ancient Sword Sect. The reason why the emperor kept the Ancient Sword Sect was that his peculiar alchemy method was a major factor. Otherwise, just send a few guards to take on the task of monitoring the demon seal.

"Boom!"

Under the huge formation, thousands of demon beasts were suppressed, all of which were gathered from all directions, waiting for the demon beasts to be used for alchemy. If it weren't for the emperor's urgent order, Zhou Xian would have prepared to refine all of them within three years. If you want to improve the strength of the Earth Immortal Realm, you must refine a higher-end elixir. This was also a factor in his desire to seize treasures from the Qingtian Daoist Temple, and at the same time, Moyu's Purple and Gold Mixed Yuan Ding was also one of the targets.

It's a pity that the appearance of Wei Jinyun and a series of subsequent changes made his hopes come to naught. Now even the family money has been taken out. In the face of Wei Jinyun's army of skeletons, those of his disciples were not worth mentioning at all. What's more, neither Qingming nor the Great Elder came back that night. He suspected that they had all been killed by Wei Jinyun, after all, the twelve elders of the Qingtian Daoist Temple were already dead, and if Wei Jinyun was bent on killing, it would be difficult for the Great Elder to escape. Moreover, there was also Qingtan to help at that time, and the two of them were afraid that the elder had already been killed.

Several reasons were added together, and Zhou Xian also made up his mind, one was to save some face in front of Qingfeng Dao Chief, and the other was to avenge Qing Ming and the Great Elder. Wei Jinyun condensed the realm, it was so against the sky, I am afraid that if it is not removed earlier, it will be difficult to change the world in the future. Therefore, he locked the soul of thousands of demon beasts and became his puppet warriors. Rushed out of Wanjian Mountain and went straight to Tongmu City, along the way, the gods blocked and killed the gods and Buddhas, and the momentum was unstoppable.

"The strength of the Dao Master is very strong, Wei Jinyun will definitely gather reinforcements, and when his reinforcements arrive, he must arrive first. Otherwise, if his reinforcements arrive, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to take Tongmu City in a short time. ”

The judgment is right, it is not in vain that he is the head of the first sect in the world, but unfortunately it is a little late in time. After seeing Tongmu City, he spurred the demon beast army to crush the city, but a roar from the dragon mastiff made him have bad thoughts. Just about to stop the demon beasts, he saw that the earth cracked, and countless demon beasts fell into the gale.

"Boom!"

Almost without exception, all the demon beasts fell into the valley, followed by cries and roars of pain. Suspended in the air, Qingfeng Dao Chang was attacked by Wei Jinyun, and Zhou Xian was black-faced.

"Rats, there are countless rats in this underground. Wei Jinyun, Wei Jinyun, you are so ruthless, boom!"

Zhou Xian, who was furious, directly condensed his spiritual power and threw several cannonballs at the big pit. It's a pity that when the rats were killed, the monsters were also torn apart. In desperation, he had no choice but to fly to Qingfeng Dao Chief, and wanted to capture Wei Jinyun with him.

"Dao Chief, how are your injuries?"

"Don't get in the way, take him, and His Highness will surrender, quickly!"

"Yes!"

Qingfeng Dao Leader covered the wound with spiritual power, preventing everyone from seeing his injury, and at the same time surrounded Wei Jinyun with Zhou Xian. The first person under the Heavenly Immortals, united with the boss of the first sect in the world, and slowly forced Wei Jinyun back in two fights. But the disadvantage is the disadvantage, and Wei Jinyun does not have any fear.

"Two, there are less than 10,000 of the 50,000 army left, and if you don't withdraw your troops, the whole army may be wiped out. Regardless of your military exploits, this kind of burial of your subordinates alone is enough for the emperor to be angry. Haha, bang!"

The divine bones resisted the two long swords, and fought and retreated, and the white bone red cloud in the distance quickly turned around after seeing the dragon mastiff. With a large army, he rushed to Tongmu City and killed the 10,000 Praetorian Guards.

"Let's have the icing on the cake, Tu Hai, go!"

Prince Ke gave an order, Tu Hai took a few strangers, and the supernatural powers were released. Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth suddenly appeared, dyeing the sky with brilliant colors. One by one, the arrows of the five elements stopped Qingfeng Dao Chang and Zhou Xian, and Wei Jinyun took advantage of the situation to return to the prince's side.

"Good work!"

His Highness smiled slightly, and Wei Jinyun shook his head.

"Your Highness, we have won this battle, but it must not be the end. In this battle, we killed 40,000 Praetorian Guards, and at the same time exposed our strength. Therefore, on the one hand, we had to defend the city and rebuild the fortifications, and on the other hand, we had to prevent people from sending letters and moving troops. ”

"I know this, there are many Praetorian Guards in Kyoto, and if you come again, it will no longer be 50,000. But I'm not worried about Kyoto, but about two other places, my two brothers, I'm afraid they won't be able to resist the temptation. If they raise an army to come, I am afraid that Tongmu City will be difficult to hold. ”

Prince Ke was extremely heavy, and in the short term, the emperor would not destroy him. After all, there are still many opportunities for father and son to reconcile contradictions. And the second prince and the third prince have long been friends and enemies with him. If someone takes the opportunity to stir up an incident, and the two brothers come to surround it, I am afraid that the consequences will be much more serious. After the victory, the crisis has not been resolved, and it is even getting worse.

"Withdraw them for the time being, and when the war is over, we will discuss it slowly. ”

Wei Jinyun naturally knew that the consequences were serious, but the war in front of him was not over, and it was still too early to say anything. The crown prince nodded, and with the cooperation of Inhumans, Skeletons, and Rat Tide, after an hour, Tongmu City was quiet again. On the one hand, he arranged to clean up the battlefield, and on the other hand, Wei Jinyun and the crown prince began to discuss the direction of the future. At the same time, the dragon mastiff and Hongyun participated in supervising the construction of Tongmu City, working overtime to build the fortifications again within three days.

"I take the emperor's salary, I think I work for the emperor, as a person of the imperial examination, there is no other way to serve the court. ”

The city lord Tang Gan, after offering the Great Seal, was put under house arrest by the crown prince. He couldn't sleep for the past few days and nights, especially after hearing the news of the defeat of the Praetorian Guard. Thinking that he has come all the way and become the lord of Tongmu City, everything is a gift from the emperor. If you don't do something, you will inevitably be slashed in the future. Now that the crown prince and Wei Jinyun are colluding, it is just a momentary limelight, and the Yun Dynasty is still powerful, and it will definitely destroy them.

"I have to find a way to send a letter, I can't send a letter to the emperor, the Qingfeng Dao chief must know about it in the emperor. So who is better, that is, you can move troops to relieve the siege, and you can take the prince and Wei Jinyun. Well, it's just them......"

Dozens of carrier pigeons, flying out of Tongmu City, silently under the cover of night. And Tang Gan is also ready to die, it is extremely glorious to die for the country, and the emperor will avenge him.

"This doesn't seem appropriate, Wei Jinyun won't be unguarded against me, I have to go out. ”

Tangan thought about it, and after releasing the carrier pigeon, he decided to go in person. After all, the sound of carrier pigeons flying is not small, even if the prince and Wei Jinyun can't notice it, there will always be people who care. So, I managed to trick a guard and drank a few glasses of wine with him, and the guard passed out. Changed the clothes of the guards, opened the prison door, and quietly went out of the city. While pretending to search the battlefield, he patrolled into the distance and hid in the grass while people were not looking.

After all, he also achieved the position of the city lord, and although this arrangement was scared, it was still dangerous. Just when he thought he had escaped, the dragon mastiff was waiting for him on the road. Without saying a word, he slapped to death with a claw, and swallowed it with one bite. At the same time, Tu Hai also ordered people to shoot carrier pigeons, and pieces of feathers fell from the sky. However, when the man who kept the carrier pigeons was found, he found that two were missing.

After all, they still didn't prevent it, and everyone was terrified, but the crown prince and Wei Jinyun seemed to accept this fact. While waiting, we stepped up the arrangement. Three days later, I received news that the scouts had come to report that the war was about to break out again.

"Your Highness, there are two troops coming towards my Tongmu City, one banner says Ning, and the other says Jing!"

"It's coming so fast!"

The prince stood up, and Wei Jinyun and the others also walked out, coming to the head of the city and looking into the distance. To the north and west, sure enough, a large army approached, and with the power of the Divine Bone World, he could see dozens of miles away at a glance.

"Your Highness, these are your two brothers, His Royal Highness King Ning and King Jing?"

"Of course, apart from them, no one under my father can bring so many soldiers. But it's a good opportunity, I'll try it and see if I can move them. If you can unite the strength of these two people and share the world equally with your father, it is not too difficult. You can't get them too close, you have to put some pressure on them!"

Coming down from the city, the crown prince and Wei Jinyun arrived at the city lord's mansion again. On the sand table, I began to study the battle that was going to take place soon, and in a moment I had an idea.

"We had already laid a trap when Tongan delivered the letter, but the two of them were not in the same direction. So it's almost impossible to stop together, do you have a better way?"

The crown prince looked at Wei Jinyun, and Tu Hai and the others also had the same thoughts. If you fight, you may not lose, but you must also beware of the soldiers and horses in Kyoto. Qingfeng Dao Chang was defeated and retreated, and the defeat of the Ancient Sword Sect would never stop there.

"Your Highness, for the time being, I think this arrangement is enough. There is not much strength left, and the soldiers and horses of Gale Town are coming. Leave most of the men and horses first, hold the city, and I will take my subordinates and Tu Hai to protect His Highness to negotiate with them. Moreover, we must take away all our forces and create an illusion for the enemy. Your Highness take these 3,000 soldiers, and I will take my men and try to negotiate as successfully as possible. If it really doesn't work, then there is some reliance on starting a war. ”

Wei Jinyun said this, and after thinking about it, the prince nodded in agreement.

"Hmm!"

The two went out of the city and ran in different directions, the prince went to the north, and Wei Jinyun went to the west. A quarter of an hour later, the crown prince was in the north and met the second prince, King Ning. was ready to persuade him, but King Ning was an anxious man, and he didn't speculate for more than half a sentence, and he said something wrong in a few words. The two brothers began to fight, Tu Hai protected the crown prince, and the only combat-type Inhuman fought with King Ning's guards.

"Since it has come to this point, what's the point of resisting? If I had met and died, and I couldn't defeat my father and escape the pursuit, who would give you the courage to confront my father?"

King Ning was tall, his golden armor looked mighty and powerful, and he held two sledgehammers, which were deafening when they hit. His personal guards are also extremely good, and there are as many as a dozen in the Contemplation Realm. Dozens of people fought against an Inhuman, and there were no winners or losers for hundreds of rounds. In order to quickly resolve the battle, King Ning ordered his horse to charge, and the battle-type Inhumans were outnumbered and finally defeated.

"Protect Your Highness, withdraw!"

Tu Hai took the Yiren to protect the prince and fought and retreated, but he did not go towards Tongmu City. The soldiers who had suffered many casualties along the way finally approached Wei Jinyun in the west, which was their strategy.

"Your Highness, this prince is extremely stupid, he doesn't go to Tongmu City but retreats to the west, why don't you divide a force and take Tongmu City?"

Someone suggested this, and King Ning was noncommittal and looked at the strategists beside him. The counsellor was about forty years old, had a goatee, and seemed extremely wise.

"Your Highness can't take risks, there will be a conspiracy if you are willing to go far and far, as long as you follow the prince and chase after him, you will definitely succeed. King Jing has coveted the crown prince for a long time, and the crown prince must not be allowed to fall into the hands of King Jing. ”

"Makes sense!

The prince's men and horses were in the west of Tongmu City, and finally joined Wei Jinyun's men and horses together. King Jing saw that King Ning had driven the crown prince over, and immediately terminated the negotiation with Wei Jinyun. Moreover, the two sides also did not talk very well, saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, and none of them would be able to be the prince if the prince did not die. Therefore, King Ning and King Jing took the headquarters to directly surround the prince and Wei Jinyun in the middle. The two sides began to squeeze His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the battle was unprecedentedly fierce from the beginning.

More than a dozen alien supernatural powers were released, but they couldn't take the prince one step away. In the end, when King Ning was concentrating on fighting, King Jing divided half of his soldiers and horses and went straight to Tongmu City.

"Your Highness, turn around quickly, then King Jing's men and horses have gone to Tongmu City!"

Wei Jinyun shouted loudly, and at the same time fought desperately, killing all the people who were close. Guarding the crown prince, under the protection of the skeleton warriors, he retreated towards Kiriki Castle while fighting. At this time, His Royal Highness King Ning looked at the strategists around him and was a little dissatisfied.

"It's all your fault, if we had gone to attack just now, now we have all taken the city. Now that the third brother has gone and robbed me of my credit, how can it be good?"

"Your Highness, don't panic!"

The goatee military master smiled apologetically: "King Jing is here to snatch merit, but we need a pathfinder." His Highness can send someone to follow, and if he can take the city, he will take the opportunity to enter the city and kill him. If he can't take it, we will stab him in the back, and the city belongs to His Highness, and he can't escape. ”

"It's pretty much the same, you take someone with you, don't worry about me here!"

"Yes!"

The military division took half of the men and horses to chase after King Jing's subordinates, galloping along the way, and finally caught up under Tongmu City. The two men and horses stood side by side, and King Ning's military division and General Jingwang stood together, but they all looked at the city in confusion.

"General Han, this Tongmu City is an empty city?"

"It's the same for everyone and no one, King Jing entered the city first, this is inevitable!

The subordinates on both sides knew the master's thoughts, so they would naturally find a way to compete for the lead, and General Han snorted coldly and shouted at the city.

"Quickly open the city and surrender, otherwise the army will not leave a single tile in Tongmu City!"

"Huh!"

Above the city, a herd of huge sheep suddenly appeared, and the head sheep was even more powerful. Looking at the soldiers and horses under the city, he jumped down, and the sheep behind him followed without hesitation. In an instant, the hundred sheep were in the air, smashed to the ground and made a rumbling sound, and collided with the two centaurs.
