The main palace of Xuncheng.

"Your Majesty, this is where the Lord of Xun City is."

Soon, the three of them stopped in front of a luxurious palace, and Zhilan immediately frowned and immediately dismounted.

"This is the palace of our monarch in the past, how can it be more luxurious than it was in the past?"

Zhi Lan was puzzled, Shicai passed through all the miserable scenes of starvation all over the place, and the past was also a depression and misery, but this place is incompatible with the same place, even if it is the residence of the city lord, it is not so luxurious, not to mention that now the people are displaced, and the glory of the monarch is even more than before, this is not the style of Lord Xun.

Yi Zhixing on one side looked at it, and a disdainful sound sounded in his nose.

"Hmph, it seems that these Yin officials really don't pay attention to my orders, and actually eat dirt and pervert the law here behind my back, and I put the city-state under their management, do they really think that they are the lords of a country? Look at the ruined scene! A bunch of garbage stuff! ”

The anger of the Son of Heaven is needless to say, but seeing that he hurriedly dismounted, he was eager to rush to the palace as soon as possible to pick up this group of Yin officials who bent the law for personal gain. Zhilan also followed behind him, not leaving an inch.

However, when everyone arrived at the palace gate, they were stopped by the guards outside.

"Stop! Who are you? ”

"When King Yin arrives, why don't you call your city lord out to greet him!"

"Yin Jun?"

Seeing the guards looking at each other, they seemed to not believe Yan Qi's words, but just in case, they finally sent someone in to report.

It didn't take long for the little guy who had been reported to finally return, but all he brought was a word of permission, and none of the Xun City Lord or the Yin officials next to him came out to greet him personally, which of course made Yi Zhixing quite unhappy.

"How can this be true? This group of people is simply ......"

Yan Qi wanted to draw his sword, but was stopped by the Son of Heaven beside him. But although he was angry, he didn't show too much excitement on the spot, but deep down in his heart, he was undoubtedly infected with the killing intent of this group of disrespectful people.

"Yan Qi, there is no need to use force for the time being, wait for me to go first and see what is going on here."

The cold tone was dark and sinister, Zhi Lan could clearly know the anger of the Son of Heaven at this time, she knew Yi Zhixing no matter how much she knew it, a narrow-minded villain like him would never tolerate the petty officials under him to be disrespectful to his monarch, if it hadn't broken out at this time, it would prove that Yi Zhixing's behavior would be much more cruel than imagined.

The three of them finally entered the main hall, the architectural furnishings here were even more extravagant than Zhi Lan expected, and she even thought that she had returned to the Yin Palace, because in the past days, it was impossible for Xun to be as magnificent as a great country, and the peaceful days were less than one-twelfth of a great power, how could it be more graceful in this war? It's incredible.

Yi Zhixing has always been calm, especially after seeing the extravagant construction of the palace, his gloomy eyes became even more terrifying. Obviously, this group of Yin officials really regarded themselves as emperors, otherwise a mere official who assisted in the government affairs of the city-state would be able to make the puppet city lord's palace so luxurious? I'm on the verge of overtaking my true king. Yi Zhixing had to wonder if the Yin officials he sent out secretly colluded with the Xun City Lord in order to fill his pockets. If that were the case, they would all die today.

At this time, on the high position of the main hall sat the lord of Xuncheng, only to see that his eyes were crossed, and there was no courtesy, just sitting on the high seat and always indifferent, as if he did not put Yi Zhixing, the head king, in his eyes.

"Are you blind? Don't you salute when you see Your Majesty? ”

Yan Qi pulled out his sword and unsheathed it, and his hateful gaze was engraved on the face of the high-ranking person, but the Xun City Lord still sat calmly, and even leaned on the back of the chair leisurely, and the situation of having no eyes left behind made Yan Qi more and more displeased.

"Hmph, Your Majesty? Where did your majesty come from? Do you think that if a random person is shouting like this, I think that you are really from the Yin Palace? I don't believe that the son of heaven of a big country who is busy with government affairs all day long will go to such a barren place as Xuncheng, what is he trying to do? ”

"Naturally, I have come to expose your lies! Remember, you are just a city lord, and you dare to call yourself me in front of Your Majesty, do you really think that you are still Xun Jun now! Your Xuncheng has long been the territory of the Yin Kingdom! ”

"Hmph, who are you? Why are you shouting with me here? I tell you, even if Yin Jun really comes to this point today, I will not be afraid of you Yin people! You may be a petty official sent by Yin Jun, right? Want to get the real details here? But I can tell you that you can't go back, and once you fall into my territory, even your majesty will not be able to escape. ”

The people above are really arrogant, even Zhi Lan, who is dedicated to Xun Kingdom, was shocked by the fearlessness of this Xun City Lord, if the kings of Xun Kingdom in the past could dare to resist power politics as they do now, maybe Xun Kingdom will not be reduced to a subsidiary state city of a great power at this time. But the lord of Xun City was arrogant at this time, and he was still showing off his might in front of Yi Zhixing, the murderous and unblinking son of heaven, although Zhi Lan didn't like the monarch in front of him, he still sweated for his life.

Yan Qi couldn't hold back his murderous intent for a long time, but as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by Yi Zhixing on his side, at least in terms of forbearance, Yi Zhixing did much better than ordinary people.

"Wait, Yan Qi."

"Your Majesty, he has ......"

He just didn't believe that I would come to this, so he showed the fox's tail as well. Lord Xuncheng, dare to ask where those Yin officials are now? ”

Zhi Lan could clearly see that Yi Zhixing's face had fallen to the bottom at this time, but his tone was still as gentle and patient as when he first arrived, afraid that it would be sunny before the storm.

When Yi Zhixing's question fell, the incumbent above suddenly chuckled, and the ridicule was obviously mixed with a certain smugness that he didn't know what he wanted.

"Hmph, Yin Guan? This is our Xun people's territory, where did the Yin officials come from? I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong person, if you're looking for Yin officials, you should go to Yin State, what are you doing in our Xun Kingdom? ”

Somehow, after hearing these remarks, Zhilan at the bottom of his heart was inclined to the side of the Xun City Lord. Maybe when he came here, he never favored Yi Zhixing, even if some of the actions of the Xun City Lord were indeed terrible and disrespectful, but at least he was from Xun Guo, and he was still the first Xun Guo from Xun who dared to talk to the Yin people when Zhi Lan first encountered, Zhi Lan was as calm as water on the surface, but her heart was always clapping her hands, how much she wanted to see the backbone of Xun people! Now I can finally see it with my own eyes.

At this moment, Yi Zhixing's eyes were already dyed with murderous aura, and the people above were unmoved, as if they were determined not to agree that there would be Yin Jun among the people who ushered in this group. After all, the monarch of a big country basically does not leave the palace at will, and the big deal is to send one or two capable people out to do errands. And the lord of Xuncheng is sure that the person in front of him must be Yin Jun's subordinate.

Unfortunately, there were only three of them, and when they thought about it, the lips of the Xun City Lord suddenly deepened, and at the same time, they were full of treacherous connotations.

"Your Majesty! This person simply can't make sense! Do you still have to tolerate it! ”

Yan Qi couldn't wait for the wish to kill the Lord of Xun City, but Yi Zhixing still went straight to the head and repeated, as if he wanted to give him another chance.

"I ask you again, where is Yin Guan?"

This time, the tone was more awe-inspiring and terrifying than that of Shicai, and the Xuncheng Lord above did palpitate a little, but after a while, he returned to the arrogance and arrogance of Fang Cai.

Looking at this, Zhi Lan smiled secretly, no matter what happened between her and Yi Zhixing, she was really willing to see Xun Guo's victory.

"I'll tell you with great mercy, anyway, none of you will want to escape today, because you are about to die on the territory of our Xun Kingdom like the group of damned officials who have seized the territory of our Xun Kingdom! Damn it! All the Yin people deserve to die! ”

After that, the piercing laughter echoed in the entire hall, because the Xun City Lord was a little fat-headed and fat-eared, but when he saw him laughing loudly, the flesh on his cheeks also trembled, and his already small eyes were squeezed by his fat, becoming more and more narrow and treacherous.

Yi Zhixing is undoubtedly furious, Yan Qi is even more so, only Zhi Lan is the only one who looks at this scene with ridicule, for her, the various actions of the new Xun City Lord really make her happy as a Xun person, she does not sympathize with Yin Guan's suffering, but really admires the 'cruel' monarch who is laughing at the moment, if she can, she really hopes that it is not the Xun City Lord who will die later, but Yi Zhixing on his side.

When this erasure thought of Yousheng, Zhi Lan frowned suddenly, thinking back to the tenderness that had been treated to her for these days, Zhi Lan did feel that she was a little less ruthless, but if there was really an opportunity to kill Yin Jun with her own hands in front of her, maybe Zhi Lan was still the same Zhi Lan from before, the Zhi Lan who was bent on the complete destruction of the Yin Kingdom.

She immediately looked upwards with a trace of afterglow, only to see that the Xun City Lord above immediately handed a look to the person next to her, and the person beside her immediately understood, and drew his sword and crossbow.

It seems that a vicious battle is inevitable.

The next moment, I saw the sword and arrow flying together, and dozens of guards with knives suddenly jumped out of the surroundings, and before Zhilan came back to her senses, her body was protected by Yi Zhixing, and this behavior undoubtedly made Zhilan Shicai's obliteration of the idea of shame, and she was disgusted with Yi Zhixing's protection.

"You let go of me! Easy trip, you take care of yourself! ”

Zhilan struggled repeatedly, but Yi Zhixing, who was able to draw his blade to participate in the fierce battle, refused to let go, and his brows were clearly overflowing with dissatisfaction.

"Don't be reckless! No more nonsense, just stay there! ”

"You let go of me! It's not like I don't know martial arts! You protect me, but it's a burden! ”

"Shut up! There's no place for you to speak now! Do you really think that with your bare hands you can compete with swords, guns, and halberds? Zhilan, you really overestimate yourself! ”

The domineering posture of the Son of Heaven made Zhi Lan very displeased, she didn't want to owe anything to this man before Yi Zhixing died, she hated that Yi Zhixing and his loyal servants would die in other countries quickly. But when he thought about it, if he had become a burden to him, wouldn't he have died more quickly?

Maybe this thought is really unkind, but in this situation, Zhi Lan does have such a cruel idea, and she blindly protects her Yi Zhixing without knowing it, but Zhi Lan is counting her little Jiujiu in her heart.

After a short time, but seeing a guard on the right suddenly attacking the Son of Heaven, Zhi Lan's eyes were quick, and he pushed Yi Zhixing's body in the most dangerous direction at the right time.

"Yi Zhixing, you let go of me! I don't need you to protect me! ”

Zhi Lan shouted quickly, the movements in her hands seemed to be filled with the obsession of wanting to take Yi Zhixing's life, Yi Zhixing was pushed away by her suddenly, and her body was forced to face the danger at all.
