Early the next morning after staying in the governor's palace of Count Rundstead, Li Jiancheng and the others, who had rested peacefully for the night, changed into the fancy clothes that the children of the high nobles should wear;
The wounded guards of the various families were left in the governor's palace of Count Rundstedd, and when they were a little better, they would return directly to the south, and the five hundred elite city guards under the command of Count Rundstedd were responsible for taking over their escort duties.
Although the strongest force under the command of Count Rundstead is the Iron Guard, it is impossible for him to dispatch his Iron Blood Guard in order to protect Bai Feng and the others; too close contact may expose the relationship between Count Rundstead and the Bai family.
There are three thousand elite city defense troops trained by Count Longdstedt in the county city of Perpignan, and the combat effectiveness of these city defense troops is definitely no worse than that of the soldiers of the Imperial Standing Legion;
Of course, Bai Feng, who made the decision, was not worried about the attack of the Blue Bird Swordsman Regiment at all, and even he was still looking forward to the Blue Bird Swordsman Regiment's attack again; in order to avoid arousing Li Jiancheng's suspicion, Bai Feng, who had planned not to disclose his identity, thought about it or gave up.
But before leaving the Governor's Palace, Bai Feng still found an opportunity to find Count Rundstead alone and asked him where the lair of the Blue Bird Swordsmen was located;
The Count of Prades, as the county warden of Prades, was a confidant personally raised by the Duke of Truss, who was originally a viscount of the Imperial Ministry of Justice before being canonized by His Majesty the Emperor four years ago and sent to the county of Prades as a county guard.
The Blue Bird Swordsmen are a force secretly established by the Eight Princes, the Imperial Minister of Justice, Duke Truss, is the maternal grandfather of the Eighth Prince, and the Count of Prades is the confidant of Duke Truss.
It's just that Bai Feng didn't expect that the Blue Bird Swordsman Regiment, known as a bandit, would be stationed in Prades County openly;
Starting from Perpignan County to the imperial capital, it is not necessary to pass through Pradesshire, but Bai Feng still insisted on this route through Pradesshire; Li Jiancheng and others, who were also favored by Bai Feng yesterday, naturally would not refute Bai Feng's suggestion.
So, under the escort of five hundred elite city defense troops, Bai Feng and his party turned to Pradesshire, and at the same time that Bai Feng and the others turned around, the three thousand soldiers of the Blue Bird Swordsman Regiment who had been ambushed decisively gave up this ambush under the leadership of their commander.
Yesterday's failed ambush made Blake, the leader of the Blue Bird Swordsmen, furious, who didn't care how many of his soldiers had died, all he cared about was whether he could complete the mission of His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince, which was the key to determining his future future.
The commander of the Blue Jay, who had escaped from the battlefield, was executed directly in front of all the other commanders by a furious Black, and then he sent his most capable commander to lead 3,000 soldiers to continue the mission.
The Commander, who was ready for a bloody battle, suddenly found that his goal was actually heading directly in the direction of Pradesshire, and the sudden happiness caused the Commander to immediately abandon the prepared ambush and quickly retreat to Pradeshire with his army.
The ambush and evacuation of the soldiers of the Three Thousand Blue Bird Swordsman Regiment did not escape Bai Feng's eyes, and the strength of the two top saint-level powerhouses Yue'er and Bing Lan was not fake, they could clearly perceive all the energy fluctuations within a radius of ten miles.
The county town of Prades is about two days away from the county town of Perpignan, but under the quick whip of Bai Feng and others, in just one day, everyone came to the seemingly calm county town of Perpignan, and successfully entered the city at nightfall.
The smiling Buddha-like Count Prades did not have the temperament of a nobleman at all, giving people the feeling that he was completely a philistine businessman; out of the principle of reaching out and not hitting the smiling man, Bai Feng, Li Jiancheng and the others still chatted with him in a vain and aggrieved manner.
Unlike Count Rundstead who placed Bai Feng and the others in the Governor's Palace, Count Prades only prepared some rooms for Bai Feng and the others at the post station; Li Jiancheng and the others thought that Count Prades was unwilling to have a deep friendship with him and others, but Bai Feng knew the real reason.
Less than ten minutes after entering his room, Bai Feng quietly went out and came to Yue'er and Binglan's room; tonight Bai Feng didn't plan to break into the lair of the Blue Bird Swordsman Regiment alone, Yue'er and Binglan were Bai Feng's most secure talisman!
In order to prevent the Blue Bird Swordsman Regiment from directly surrounding the post station and pushing the situation in an unpredictable direction, Bai Feng decided to take Yue'er and Bing Lan to strike first, and while the soldiers of the Blue Bird Swordsman Regiment were still assembling, Bai Feng and the three of them appeared with a swagger.
Who would have thought that the mansion where the Blue Bird Swordsmen's lair was located was actually built next to the county guard mansion of Count Prades, and the more than ten intermediate swordsmen guarding at the gate immediately drew their weapons and surrounded them as soon as they saw Bai Feng and the three of them.
Just as Bai Feng was about to explain his identity, Blake, who was full of joy, strode out of the door of the mansion, and as soon as he came to Bai Feng's side, he welcomed him with a very low attitude: "It turns out that the second son of the Bai family is visiting, please come in quickly!"
"Who are you?" Looking at this middle-aged strong man with a beard on his face, Bai Feng was still quite curious about his identity; looking at the respectful attitude of the guards at the door, this person's status in the Blue Bird Swordsman Regiment must not be low, and he may even be one of the leaders of the Blue Bird Swordsman Regiment.
"The contemptible man is Blake, the leader of the Blue Bird Swordsman Regiment, who was invited to greet the second son of Bai on the order of my master. Suddenly hearing the identity of this person, Bai Feng, who had always been unfazed, couldn't help but look at him more, it turned out that he was the leader of the Blue Bird Swordsman Regiment.
Since this person is the leader of the Blue Bird Swordsman Regiment, then the identity of his master is about to be revealed; thinking of this, Bai Feng also smiled slightly: "Your master is Your Excellency the Eighth Prince, is he also here in Pradesshire?"
"The master of my family is none other than His Excellency the Eighth Prince. The humble Blake answered Bai Feng's first question first, and then approached Bai Feng and said softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "The master is waiting for Gongzi in the mansion, and I hope Gongzi will move quickly." ”
The Eight Princes of the Dignified Empire would secretly come to Pradeshire shortly after the New Year, it seems that the Bai Family's newly promoted Twin Sword Saints are very important to this Eighth Prince! It is even more important than Bai Feng imagined!
Bai Feng, who had planned to talk to the Eight Princes indirectly through the Blue Bird Swordsman Regiment, naturally could not refuse the opportunity to talk directly to the Eighth Emperor in front of him, and he took Yue'er and Bing Lan, and under the guidance of Blake, strode into the lair of the Blue Bird Swordsman Regiment.
This mansion, which looks a little smaller than the county guard mansion next to it, has a unique hole inside, and the martial arts arenas and weapons and equipment that are all over the mansion make Bai Feng feel that this is not a mansion, but a small military camp in the name of the mansion.
Those soldiers in blue armor practiced day and night on the martial arts arena, and their efforts were still better than the elite city defense troops under the command of Count Longdstede, and this scene alone made Bai Feng have a good impression of the Eighth Prince, whom he had never met.
