In the past few days, the rebels have not attacked the city on a large scale, and the soldiers who originally guarded the city wall have been arranged to rest in the nearest courtyard.

With Xu Xiaodong's performance, he was assigned a single room.

Xu Xiaodong knew that this was just the calm before the storm, and then there was a strong counterattack by the rebels.

Whether you can hold the imperial capital depends on the following attacks, as long as you complete the task of saving the Southern Tang Dynasty, you can unlock the late Xuan-level realm.

There was a knock on the door outside, Xu Xiaodong frowned, at this time period, all martial artists should be in the room to recuperate.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Xiaodong opened the door, and what greeted him was a mysterious person wrapped in a black robe.

"Little prince, the old slave is polite. The mysterious man bowed, his voice a little shrill and thin.

"Grandpa Chen, why are you here?" Xu Xiaodong heard the voice of the mysterious person and said strangely.

It was the Gonggong Chen who brought him into the palace last time.

Xu Xiaodong had a good impression of this Chen Gonggong, a smile appeared on his face, he gave up half of his body and made a petition, "What a rare guest, Chen Gonggong is please!"

"No, the little prince is in an urgent situation, His Majesty asks the little prince to go to the palace immediately, and the little prince should hurry up and follow the old slave into the palace. Gonggong Chen shook his head and said solemnly.

"Now?" Xu Xiaodong was startled, knowing that something big had happened, otherwise this imperial uncle would not have summoned himself into the palace in such a hurry.

"The little prince put on this dress first, just in case. Gonggong Chen took out a black robe and handed it to Xu Xiaodong.

After a while, Xu Xiaodong came out of the room, his entire body covered by a black robe.

Gonggong Chen nodded with satisfaction.

"Let's go!"

......

"Xiaodong is here, no courtesy!" Xu Yue's face looked better after two days of cultivation.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

"Recently, you, a genius and a great name, I and the dean are like thunder, and I can't kill a ground-level martial artist in the middle of the Xuan level, even if I can't do it back then. Xu Yue looked at Xu Xiaodong and gave a thumbs up.

"These are all flukes, and the other party is too underestimating the enemy. Xu Xiaodong said modestly.

"Haha, you don't have to be humble, even if you underestimate the enemy, the ground-level strength is there, and it is not easy to surpass. Xu Yue saw that Xu Xiaodong was still not arrogant or impatient, and he became more and more satisfied with this nephew.

"I won't talk to you anymore, dean, please tell Xiaodong the details of this matter. Xu Yue stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Xu boy, what do you think of the current situation?" Lu Cangtian took a sip of fragrant tea and asked.

"At present, our army relies on the Dangkou Annihilation Formation, with several other formations, and can temporarily resist the attack of the rebels. Xu Xiaodong said some of his judgments.

"For the time being, it seems that you are not very optimistic about the outcome of our defense of the city. Lu Cangtian asked.

"Your Majesty and the dean know that the reason why the Wen family was able to set off such a big storm is because there is a big hand behind it to help, as long as the problem of this invisible big hand is not solved, the situation in the imperial capital is not optimistic. ”

Xu Yue and Lu Cangtian glanced at each other, both showing appreciation, Lu Cangtian continued: "I didn't expect you to judge the situation so accurately at a young age, that's right! There is indeed someone behind the Wen family to help, the energy of this invisible big hand is very terrifying, even our Nantang can't compete with it, but this big hand is not monolithic, and there are problems in the middle." As long as we can hold on for half a year, the crisis in the imperial capital will be self-defeating. ”

"Half a year, with the existence of the Dangkou Annihilation Array, it shouldn't be a problem, right?" Xu Xiaodong wondered.

"Originally, there was no problem, but something happened, the core of the big array had already been manipulated, and now it can only last for a month, and it will lose its effect. Lu Cangtian's face was a little ugly, and he said slowly.

Then he told Xu Xiaodong about the rebellion of the Nine Emperor Princes and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and the contamination of the core of the Jin Ying Carving Beast.

Hearing this, Xu Xiaodong was very angry, Gongsun Ming's rebellion was reasonable, but Xu Yannai was the prince of a country, and he would betray his father and join the rebels, and his brain was simply kicked by a donkey.

"At this point, no matter how angry it is, it is useless, only to make amends. Lu Cangtian sighed, very sad.

"Your Majesty, have you found a new Golden Eagle Beast Core?" Xu Xiaodong asked in a hurry.

"No, but today we received a secret letter, someone told us that the Nalan Branch of Blue Shark City has a Golden Eagle Beast Core!" Lu Cangtian said.

"Blue Shark City?"

Xu Xiaodong was surprised, this is a famous chaotic place in the Southern Tang Dynasty, located in the northeast of the empire, adjacent to the two great empires of Ziyun and Beiyue, and also bordering the two medium-sized countries of Qi and Duanmu Dynasty.

And the blue lake near this city is a famous place in the Canglan Continent, and it is rumored that there are heaven-level demon beasts in the depths of the lake, and the huge risks are also accompanied by amazing opportunities.

Many martial artists hunt demon beasts in the Blue Light Lake, which is conducive to breaking through to the heaven-level realm of nine purple and ten red grass, and some people get ground-level demon beast eggs, and there are even spiritual fruits that can increase longevity in them.

With so many temptations, every year on the mainland, countless monks who think they have achieved cultivation go there one after another to find opportunities.

Many of them were lucky enough to bring out the treasures of heaven and earth from the blue lake and sell them at sky-high prices, which made people even more eager to buy them.

This city is mixed with dragons and snakes, and many things that cannot be seen are often flowing out here, among which there are extraordinary elixirs that improve the realm, and high-star martial arts and combat skills.

"That's right, only in such a chaotic place can it be possible to have a heaven-level Golden Eagle Beast Core. Xu Yue said.

"Your Majesty summoned me here to let me go to the Blue Shark Lake?"

"It's not that Xiaodong is greedy for life and afraid of death, it's just that at this moment, the emperor is besieged, although Xiaodong has the heart to serve the country, but he can't go out. Xu Xiaodong said calmly.

"This question is good, our Xu family has been established for hundreds of years, and every generation of emperors has worked the defense of the imperial capital, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is impregnable. The scene of being besieged by a great enemy, we also thought about it, and it took several generations of monarchs to build a small-area teleportation array in the imperial city, which could be teleported hundreds of miles away. Xu Yue said with a touch of pride on his face.

"There are many people in the imperial capital, and there are not a few ground-level martial artists among them, since they have found me, there must be something wrong with this teleportation array, right?" Xu Xiaodong keenly grasped the key point.

"This ......" Xu Yue was a little embarrassed, paused and said: "Indeed, I don't know if it's because of the age or the limited technology, this teleportation array can only teleport martial artists below the ground level, and it can only be teleported once in a short period of time." Originally, I was planning to send a late-stage Xuan-level martial artist, but later I heard that you could kill a ground-level martial artist, so I ......"

"I understand what Your Majesty means, as long as I can do a little bit for the country, Xiaodong will not give up. Xu Xiaodong said righteously.

Xu Yue's original prepared words were stuck in his throat, and he was very moved in his heart.

This is a good man in the royal family, why is there no such person among my sons, the royal brother is so blessed.

Xu Xiaodong was also slandering in his heart, although he wanted to be loyal to the country, he didn't want to exchange his life.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this task is tricky!

But the system suddenly refreshed a special task - "Blue Shark City and His Party", and the task reward given, Xu Xiaodong couldn't refuse at all, it was actually to unlock the late realm of the Xuan level.
