The southern suburbs of Daling City.

Although it was early spring, it was still snowing in Daling City. Except for a road that seemed to be run over by the occasional passing wheel, and where a hint of brown earth could be discerned, everything was cold and silent in a white place.

At this time, in the snowfield, there were several gray and white camouflage military vehicles speeding down the avenue. In a military vehicle in the center, a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young general in military uniform was frowning.

Venus, whose shoulders glittered and did not have a whirlpool, indicated that this was a lieutenant general in magic costume, but beside him, there was a demon war general.

Compared with the solemn sitting posture of the Demon War Admiral, the young man's sitting posture seemed very casual—as if he had only a higher rank. This peculiar scene makes people look quite weird.

……

At this time, the index fingers of the young man's hands kept clicking up and down his knees, and he couldn't stop muttering something in his mouth, as if he was pondering something.

"Your Highness, where are we going?"

In front of him, a driver who looked like an adjutant was looking back and asked curiously.

The young man seemed to be awakened from his contemplation, and looked a little annoyed, and he glared fiercely at the adjutant.

"Song Wei, first, even if you are my brother who grew up with me and a retainer of the Xia family. But in the army, please also call me a general, a commander, not Your Highness. ”

"Second, where we're going, don't ask what we shouldn't ask. After staying at the place, you and General Tang will wait in the car outside, and I will go in alone. ”

He said lightly.

"But the temple ...... Your safety ......, sir"

The adjutant suddenly said suspiciously.

"Don't worry, that place is probably safer than the ** palace."

The young man smiled strangely, and when he did not reply, he seemed to fall into deep thought again.

……

I don't know how long it took, but the noisy convoy that had stopped and a few abrupt shouts interrupted the young man's thoughts. Looking up, the door of the cab had already opened, and Song Wei seemed to have gotten out of the car and went to the front to negotiate.

"Password?" A voice of extreme alarm sounded.

"Riptide, requirement?" Song Wei's response was also vaguely transmitted to the young man's eardrums.

"Frost! Who's coming? Get out of the car immediately to be inspected, and inform yourself of your identity and intentions! The voice of vigilance seemed to be a little tense, and the tone was full of unkindness.

"Hello this brother, this is the convoy of General Xia, the third prince of the empire and the deputy chief of staff of the former enemy general command of the Daling River." Song Wei revealed his identity.

"I don't care who it is, anyway, when I get here, I have to undergo an identity check!" Shouting shouted.

"Bastard, which part of you are from? Praetorian Legion? As a royal guard, dare to be so disrespectful to the royal family? Song Wei was suddenly a little annoyed, and he shouted heavily.

"You don't need to know which part we are, you just need to let us know which part you are and what you're here for." The vigilant voice said coldly.

……

The young man was stunned, but he whispered a few words to the Demon War General beside him, pushed open the door and got out of the car.

After a few steps, he found that the convoy had stopped in front of a small, heavily guarded manor, and at the gate, his adjutant was coldly confronting a Praetorian Guard officer.

He hurriedly walked up, but pulled Song Wei away.

"Hello, I'm Summer, I'm here to visit Your Highness."

He smiled.

The Praetorian Guard officer glanced at Summer a few times, he nodded heavily, and took a strange instrument from the soldier behind him.

I saw that after pressing the instrument a few times, he pointed the instrument at the summer again. The halo flashed, and the instrument already emitted a strange light that swept towards Summer's head, Song Wei was in a hurry, but was pulled by Summer.

……

"The soul wave has been detected, the identity verification has passed, the third prince of the empire, the deputy chief of staff of the former enemy headquarters of the Great Ling River. Security level seven, entry is allowed. ”

After a few flickering moments, the instrument emitted several simulated human voices.

The guarded Praetorian Guard officer suddenly seemed relieved.

"I have a duty, please forgive the official for being rude. Your Highness, is it just that you need to enter? Then please come in. ”

He made up a military salute to Summer, but said in a deep voice.

Summer smiled and returned the salute: "Major, you are loyal to your duty, why is it rude?" The Empire is being impregnable by your loyal guards. ”

"Your Highness is still ......"

He thought about it, but then asked.

……

"Yes, it's been the whole morning, and I've been kneeling there, motionless, and it's really worrying to watch."

The officer sighed, and he said in a low voice, "Are you here to visit Your Highness?" Please follow me. ”

He motioned for Summer to follow, and was already striding towards the manor.

Summer smiled slightly, and followed in great strides, leaving Song Wei muttering inexplicably in place.

"What the hell is this...... His Majesty the Emperor doesn't need to be so heavily guarded...... I haven't heard that His Majesty has left**...... Where the hell is this? Also, who is that Highness? Let our Highness shout Your Highness? How-"

He was startled, as if he had suddenly thought of something, but his face suddenly turned pale.

"Damn, I shouldn't have been so reckless......"

He muttered remorsefully, but he lowered his head and thought about it, quickly returned to the car, and waited solemnly.

～～～～～～～～～

In the manor, the Major silently leads the way in front, and Summer also silently follows him.

After walking for about ten minutes, when a gatehouse suddenly appeared not far in front of Summer's eyes, the Major stopped, he led inward, and gave a military salute to Summer, but he retreated silently.

Summer looked up at the gatehouse.

A few big words of "Far North Xie Family Tomb" are silently telling something on the gatehouse.

Summer was flustered for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, but in the end, he sighed strangely, and walked in gently.

……

"Alarm, the internal guard cordon is a hundred meters in the direction of eleven o'clock, and an unknown soul wave is approaching."

When the summer walked past a tombstone that read "The tomb of Xie Yufei, the first generation of the Xie family in the extreme north, the Yongwang of the empire", the low sound of artificial words suddenly sounded in front of the summer, and then, the continuous sound of drawing the sword also suddenly sounded.

Summer stopped, and he looked up. In the snow, from the pine and cypress trees, countless sword-wielding figures have emerged. They looked over to the summer side with great vigilance, and there were even quite a few of them who were fully armored Earth Demon Battles, and a few of them even seemed to be above the earth.

A few of them were holding magic walkie-talkies, and a few were pinching a small black box, and their thumbs pressed vigilantly on a red button on the black box, as if ready to ring it at any moment.

"The alarm has been lifted, and the source of the soul wave is the third prince of the empire, the deputy chief of staff of the former enemy headquarters of the Great Ling River."

The artificial voice sounded again.

……

The sound of boos came and went, and in the midst of a few soft sounds, people disappeared one after another, leaving only a person who looked like a major general of the Demon War, but he did not hide and walked towards the summer.

"Temple...... Hello, sir. He bowed to Summer and said in a low voice.

"General Shang, hello." Summer smiles back.

"Sir, I beg your pardon for not being able to greet or accompany us. If you have something to do with Your Highness, you can go in by yourself. Major General Demon Zhan said respectfully.

"You're doing a great job."

Summer nodded solemnly: "During His Highness's travels, there is no army to protect him, and there is no star shine by his side, he is the most likely to be assassinated, and we must always be vigilant - we cannot allow the barbarian assassination of His Highness to happen again." We need to know that His Highness is just a magician, and any small team that infiltrates the magic war can kill him, understand? ”

He whispered earnestly.

……

"Yes, sir, the soul wave siren recently developed by the Imperial Magical Energy Research Institute is very useful. Now, anyone who wants to approach His Highness must be identified by the soul wave checker of the outer guard and the soul wave siren of the inner guard - this time, no matter how powerful the Barbarian Assassin Sect is, I am afraid that they will not even want to get close to His Highness. ”

"The stealth of the barbarian assassination can certainly conceal the body, and it can also restrain the aura, so that people will not find out until they are extremely close - but for the ultra-high sensitivity of the soul wave alarm, it is completely useless, as long as there is an unknown soul spiral approaching, it will have an alarm far away."

"And once an anomaly is detected, as long as one of us presses the alarm button, the siren on several Star Glory Elders will beep with it. At that point, they will come to the rescue in an instant. With such multiple precautions, I think it should be foolproof. ”

Major General Demon War also replied in a low voice.

"Well...... Please continue to do so with all of your diligence. The safety of His Highness is also the lifeblood of the Empire. ”

……

Summer smiled and nodded, and then, he looked up, and in the wind and snow, a figure was looming in front of a tombstone in the distance.

"Your Highness...... Come again to pay tribute to ......"

He asked in a low voice.

"Yes, today is the taboo of the boss." Major General Demon War replied respectfully.

"Sir, is there anything wrong with you? If there is nothing important, His Highness has commanded, and no one should disturb ......"

Major General Demon Zhan thought about it and said in a low voice.

"It's fine...... Just to see ......"

Summer looked strangely at the figure in the distance, but sighed lowly.

……

"How long has Your Highness been like this?" After being silent for a long time, he pointed to the figure, but he seemed to be a little speechless, and asked knowingly.

"It's been a morning......"

Major General Demon Zhan also sighed: "Since I left the command headquarters in the morning, until now, I have been kneeling there, and I have not entered a drop of water and rice. It's snowing all the time, and we're really worried...... No one dared to persuade us, and His Highness's retainers did not let us persuade them. ”

He pointed to a few figures standing solemnly not far from the figures, but said sullenly.

Summer's face began to hesitate a little.

He thought about it, turned around a few times, but turned around again.

"So be it, I'm just...... Come and see, by the way...... By the way, check everyone's security measures. ”

He said with a wry smile, but shook his head and went back the way he came.

Major General Demon Zhan bowed and watched the figure of Summer gently stepping on the snow leave.

Then he glanced at the wind and snow behind him—nothing had changed, everyone was motionless, except for the fluttering snowflakes, and it seemed that the whole world was frozen in a static and desolate picture.

He sighed inexplicably, and with the flickering of his figure, he disappeared again. (To be continued.) )
