At this time, Zhao Chuan didn't know that even though he was arranged to be peaceful, the eldest prince Zhao Shan still didn't worry about him, and had already arranged for people to come to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

He coaxed Wen Jie to sleep, and then he quietly got out of the suspension carriage and came to the side of the envoy of the Heavenly Whale Country.

"Special Envoy Zhu, haven't asked for a name yet?" Zhao Chuan said politely.

The envoy of the Heavenly Whale Kingdom squinted at Zhao Chuan, as if he didn't know Zhao Chuan's intention, and hesitated for a moment and spit out three words: "Zhu Ningxin." ”

"Xian Li Ning looks far and long, one side of the heart is recommended to be cool, Zhu Ningxin, what a good name. Zhao Chuan praised.

Zhu Ningxin frowned and said: "There is no need to say kind words, the third prince may as well speak up if there is anything." ”

Zhao Chuan hesitated for a moment, but still confided the question in his heart: "Special Envoy Zhu, why do you say that there is such a big gap between the life outside the city and the life inside the city? Is it because the people outside the city are lazy?"

Listening to Zhao Chuan's words, Zhu Ning had an urge to laugh out loud, and finally restrained himself, and replied in disbelief: "As the third prince of the Lingchuan Empire, you don't even know this?"

"I hope the envoy will give him advice!"

Zhu Ning looked at Zhao Chuan for a while, and saw that his eyes were sincere, so he explained to him.

It turned out that since Emperor Zhao Mingfan ascended the throne, he issued a very important decree, he drove all the civilians out of the city, and only nobles and those with military merits could live in the city.

However, the dam of the Lingchuan Empire was in disrepair, and the flood caused the yang energy of Longchong City, the imperial capital of Lingchuan, to become unbalanced, and the plants here became violent, and at any time they could turn people into dead wood due to the tide of power, and only the city could suppress these plants slightly.

This led to the fact that the civilians of the Lingchuan Empire had to get close to the city in order to survive, and the emperor's order made it impossible for these civilians to enter the city, so most of the civilians were gathered by the city wall on weekdays.

In addition to risking their lives to plant and hunt to fill their stomachs, these civilians' only thoughts are to enter the army to obtain military merits, and only in this way can they enter the relative safety of life in the city.

In order to enter the army, the civilians exercised frantically, and after entering the army, they were not afraid of death in order to obtain military merits, and they made a name for themselves on the mainland!

The army of the Lingchuan Empire is like a snowball, getting stronger and stronger, although this strength is based on countless civilian suffering!

"Those refugees at the city gate don't look like they've been trained...... Zhu Ningxin's explanation caused Zhao Chuan another question.

A trace of pity flashed in Zhu Ning's eyes: "There are old, weak, sick and disabled everywhere, and those people at the gate of the city have no hope of entering the army at all, so they are numb and live every day to live." ”

"It turns out that ruling a country is actually cruel to such an extent?" Zhao Chuan never thought that the civilian life of the Lingchuan Empire was actually like this.

"This is not bad, when you completely leave the outskirts of the city and enter the wasteland and forest, you will see a lot of half-human, half-tree monsters, and you will know what life is better than death!" At the mention of these, even Zhu Ningxin's eyes flashed with fear.

Zhao Chuan opened his mouth and wanted to ask clearly, but seeing Zhu Ningxin's appearance, it was wise not to ask again, after all, it was his own country, and he shared honor and disgrace.

After walking for two days, the team has gradually moved away from the crowd, and the towering giant trees around it have gradually increased.

The imbalance of the sun's qi causes many plants to grow and mutate wildly, and often some plants mutate into bloodthirsty plants with extremely aggressive power.

The guards in the team are also extraordinary, but they still start to have casualties.

Several times in distress, Zhu Ningxin helped and saved a lot of people, and Zhao Chuan knew that this envoy of the Heavenly Whale Country was actually not weak in kung fu.

The road became more and more difficult, and in the end, it was necessary to arrange for people to take turns in front of the team to overcome obstacles, so that the team could successfully pass.

When he walked out of this wilderness, even Zhu Ningxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, there was a canyon in front of him, although it was barren but without those strange plants and human-tall weeds, the team could be much easier.

Everyone in the team relaxed and enjoyed this rare leisure.

About halfway through the canyon, Zhao Chuan walked out of the carriage a little upset, and he always felt a little bored for some reason.

"Three princes be careful!"

Before he could figure it out, he suddenly heard a coquettish shout, with a burst of fragrant wind, Zhu Ningxin suddenly appeared in front of him, a cold light flashed, and then it was an arrow feather that was split in half!

Enemy attack!

Heart-rending voices rang out from the ranks.

A rain of arrows followed!

"Escort the third prince back to the carriage!" Zhu Ningxin danced the long sword he carried into a light curtain, faintly exuding a cold air, and cut most of the incoming arrow rain.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Before she could make the next move, a large number of people and horses suddenly blocked the exit at both ends of the canyon, and these people and horses were dressed in black armor and covered with black cloth on their faces, and they were not afraid of death and charged towards the team.

"Don't panic, don't panic! Array, listen to my command!" Zhu Ning's heart and hair were scattered, and he shouted loudly regardless of his image.

Her cultivation is not shallow, and the huge sound quickly spread throughout the battlefield, and the guards in the team seem to have found the backbone, and they have gathered in her direction, forming a formation to resist the enemy.

"Raise the shield! Raise the shield! The rain of arrows is here again!" Zhu Ningxin didn't wait to breathe a sigh of relief, and the sound of arrows breaking through the air sounded in his ears again, and he shouted frantically under the sudden change in his face.

It was still too late, and many of the guards were skewered with arrows before they could raise their shields, and the smell of blood filled the entire battlefield for a while.

Front and back, condescending!

Three groups of enemies attack at the same time, not to mention the guards of the friendly team, even if the army that can fight again, it will have to suffer a big loss!

Zhao Chuan also saw this scene for the first time, his whole face was already pale, and he couldn't bear it anymore, but ran to Zhu Ningxin's side.

Zhu Ningxin's voice was almost hoarse, and he said worriedly: "What are you doing here, go back to the carriage!"

She didn't say that you are a waste, she can't help, and she has to waste manpower to protect you, can you be a little self-aware?

Zhao Chuan looked at the situation, and then whispered a few words in Zhu Ning's heart.

A hint of discoloration flashed in Zhu Ning's beautiful eyes, and he glanced at Zhao Chuan in disbelief: "Are you sure it's useful?"

Zhao Chuan smiled bitterly: "My little life is also here, where do you dare to mess around? What's more, now that a dead horse is a live horse doctor, do you have a better idea?"

Zhu Ning gritted his silver teeth and suddenly roared: "Everyone, move closer to me, with the suspended carriage as the center, cloth a double-layer shield array, the direction of the shield array, ahead!"

The guards suddenly received the order, but fortunately, most of the guards of the team were actually soldiers of the Sky Whale Country, and they successfully changed their formations in a very short time.

Everyone was holding shields, and people were crowded, forming a tight circle, protecting the suspended carriage in the middle with Zhu Ningxin and Zhao Chuan.

"Do you say that the double-layer shield formation is useful? Once this formation is deployed, our action will be greatly hindered, and it will be even more difficult to break through!" Zhu Ning saw the shield formation set up, and he felt a little regretful in his heart.

Zhao Chuan smiled bitterly: "When, are you still thinking about breaking through? If we don't lay down a double-layer shield array, we are afraid that a few arrows will rain down and cooperate with the enemy's charge, and we will all be killed!"

"Then if we can't break through, will we wait for death?" Zhu Ning said anxiously.

"No, we have another way. ”

"What's the solution?"

"Wait!" Zhao Chuan looked in the direction of Long Chongcheng.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Without waiting for Zhu Ning to complain, the enemy army swarmed in, followed by a rain of arrows in the sky.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

This is the sound of bows and swords hitting the shield, and the double-layer shield array has been weakened to the limit due to the fact that the formation is too close, and there are people specially assigned to guard against the rain of arrows shot from above the canyon.

Except for a few unlucky ghosts whose skin was cut, there was no substantial damage under this wave of arrow rain!

As for the enemies who charge back and forth, in the face of the turtle-like defense and the snake-like spear tip that peeks out from behind the shield from time to time, the only choice is to charge in one wave and then leave a wave of corpses to retreat.

The double-layered shield array abandoned the possibility of breaking through, and with it came a huge defensive force.

The energy on the guards' bodies joined together, exuding a huge momentum, like a huge turtle shell, firmly protecting them in the middle.

People's hearts are gradually settling down!

And at this time, the mutation is abrupt.

Suddenly, the archers who rained arrows above the canyon began to be slaughtered, and another force appeared.

And behind the enemy who was flanked in the front and back of the canyon, there was also a third-party force, Zhao Chuan looked through the gap in the double-layer shield array from a distance, and saw that it was Wen Teng who took the lead!

The dog that he looked down on in the past has now become a lifesaver, and the troops led by Wen Teng are the Praetorian Guards of the Lingchuan Empire.

Zhao Chuan breathed a long sigh of relief, he knew that he had won the bet, and his whole body fell down softly, and the huge pressure made him already overdraw his physical energy.

Zhu Ningxin hurriedly helped him up, looking at this young and handsome face with a complicated expression.

"Father, sure enough, you won't have an accident in this matter!"

Zhao Chuan was lying in Zhu Ning's arms, but his eyes were on Long Chongcheng in the distance, and he had a staggered glance with the man sitting on the throne......

"Fengtian carrier, Xuanda Prince Zhao Shan enters the palace to meet you!"

Zhao Shan knelt straight in front of the main hall and asked the eunuch on duty, "Father-in-law, my father summoned me to the palace to meet me, why did he refuse to see me for a long time?"

The eunuch on duty had already received the will, and there was a hint of mockery in his eyes when he looked at Zhao Shan: "His Royal Highness, our family doesn't know about this, if there is any problem, let's wait until you meet Your Majesty and ask him in person." ”

The eldest prince Zhao Shan frowned, did not speak again, he knelt until it was getting late, but he still did not get any summons......
