"Lay down your arms!

"Lay down your arms, raise your hands and surrender!"

“......”

After Yan Xiaotian's words fell, the guards of the Yan Mansion led by Yan Mad and Yan Xiaoyi also began to roar, and the neat roar resounded all around the Yan Mansion.

"Don't believe it, the Yan family is the most cunning and deceitful, if you lay down your weapons, you will definitely be questioned by them, now follow Lord Ben to rush out and kill maybe there is a glimmer of life." Hearing this shout of persuasion one after another, Portman's heart was cold, and he hurriedly spoke out to comfort the soldiers under his command.

"If you continue to resist, then this commander will punish you for treason. Yan Xiaotian spoke again.

On the one hand, he can live by laying down his arms and surrendering, and on the other hand, he is stubborn and finally sentenced to treason, which can be seen by a fool.

However, no matter how these soldiers move in their hearts, no one dares to be the first to surrender, after all, these soldiers still know the truth of shooting the first bird.

In case Portman goes berserk, the first one to surrender will be dead. Therefore, although these soldiers already had the idea of surrender in their hearts, no one dared to express it first. He just kept glancing at Portman, who was guarded in the center by his own soldiers, with a strange gaze.

Portman is not a fool, and when he was swept away by the gaze of hundreds of people, he naturally understood in his heart that / the military spirit had been lost.

Facing the approaching Yanfu guards, Portman was in a hurry and casually pulled over a personal soldier and ordered: "You, lead the brothers to hold on here, General Ben will immediately go to ask for help now, as long as you hold on until General Ben returns, that General Ben will be rewarded and you will be promoted to three levels in a row." ”

In normal times, the temptation to even move up three ranks would be difficult for any soldier to resist, but what is the situation now? As long as you are not a fool, you will understand that Portman is planning to slip away, but you are afraid that if you leave, the already unstable military spirit will be completely disrupted, so you find a substitute ghost to stay and die for you.

The soldier wanted to understand this, but he dared not speak out in his heart, because he knew very well that if he didn't agree to Portman, then Portman would definitely kill him directly.

In desperation, the soldiers arched their hands and said: "Obey the order, and hope that the general will go back quickly." ”

Portman was overjoyed when he heard this, and took advantage of the fact that Zhou Qingfeng behind him was still some distance away from him, and casually beckoned more than a dozen personal soldiers to run out from the side after taking a look.

Because he was so fast, most of the soldiers didn't even know that their main commander, Portman, had slipped away.

Portman's actions naturally did not escape the eyes of Yan Xiaotian and Zhou Qingfeng, but from the perspective of the overall situation, it is useless to catch a Portman. The most important thing at the moment is how to storm the palace and rescue Lance III and his party, so Yan Xiaotian and Zhou Qingfeng didn't bother to chase Portman, and simply left him to fend for himself.

Yan Xiaotian's decision made Portman not expect it at all, he thought that Yan Xiaotian would send someone to chase him, so as soon as he broke away from the army, he spread his feet and ran in the direction of Zuo Xiangfu. In his opinion, as long as he arrived at the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, he would be safe, but he didn't know that Yan Xiaotian had no intention of chasing him at all.

What Portman didn't expect was that the soldiers he forcibly left behind to command the remnants of the soldiers immediately raised their hands and surrendered to Yan Xiaotian as soon as he left.

After someone took the lead, the remaining soldiers also hurriedly threw their weapons on the ground, put their hands on their heads and squatted on the ground honestly, and the intention of surrender was needless to say.

After collecting all the weapons of the rebels present, Yan Xiaotian walked in front of Zhou Qingfeng with Yan Xiaoyi and Yan Mad together, and arched his hand: "Thank you Lord Dean for your help, if Lord Dean didn't appear in time this time, I'm afraid the consequences of my Yan family would be unimaginable." ”

Zhou Qingfeng took off the black cloth covering his face, smiled and said: "The old marshal is serious, even if I am not here, with the wisdom of the old marshal, more than a thousand rebels will not be the opponent of the old marshal." ”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and their faces showed a touch of relaxation.

"By the way, what are we going to do next?Deske has captured the palace, and there is no way for us to confront it head-on. Zhou Qingfeng asked.

"Next, it's up to Nantian and Su Yang. Yan Xiaotian glanced up at the east and said meaningfully.

"Oh?"

Zhou Qingfeng glanced at Yan Xiaotian, and then said tentatively: "Outside the East City Gate, the Imperial Yan Legion?"

Yan Xiaotian nodded, and then continued, "Now our task is to stay here and watch out for Deske's next moves. ”

"Stay here, aren't we going to support Brother Su Yang?" asked Bert suddenly interjected.

Yan Xiaotian shook his head, "Keeping here will help the whole situation more than going to support them directly. ”

While saying this, a secret that Yan Shengyan had told him not long ago slowly appeared in Yan Xiaotian's mind.

......

A continent time ago.

Yan Xiaotian followed Yan Shengyan to the forbidden place in the clan.

"Ancestor, the big war is coming, do you have anything to ask me to bring me to the forbidden land?" Yan Xiaotian looked at Yan Shengyan curiously while looking inside the forbidden land.

Although he was the former marshal of the Blazing Empire and the previous head of the Yan family, it was the first time he had come to this forbidden place. To be precise, if it weren't for Yan Shengyan's approval, Yan Xiaotian wouldn't have dared to come in.

After all, every descendant of the Yan family knows that this forbidden place is Yan Shengyan's retreat, if there is no major incident, no one is generally allowed to come here to disturb Yan Shengyan, and violators will be expelled from the family or executed on the spot.

"Have you ever read the book 'A Brief History of the Blazing Empire'?" Yan Shengyan said for no reason.

Yan Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Of course I have read it, the "A Brief History of the Blazing Empire" describes in great detail the glorious deeds of the first generation of the head of my Yan family, and as a descendant of the Yan family, I naturally dare not forget the deeds of my ancestors. ”

"Since you have read it, then I think you have a question in your heart, no, it should be said that everyone who has read this book will wonder in their hearts, why did I choose this land under my feet as our mansion after the rise of the Yan family, you must know that this land was barren at that time. ”

The so-called barren land refers to a land where the elemental power is extremely scarce and not suitable for cultivation at all. After staying in the barren land for a long time, not to mention the improvement of strength, if you can maintain your original strength without regressing, it is already blessed by the gods.

"Yes, I hope the ancestors will solve their doubts. Yan Xiaotian said respectfully.

Indeed, Yan Shengyan was right, hundreds of years ago, the Yan family made great contributions to the establishment of the Blazing Empire, but when the monarch at that time divided the heroes, the Yan family gave up several pieces of land rich in elemental power, and chose the barren and barren land under their feet. Anyone who has read the book "A Brief History of the Blazing Empire" is puzzled by this, and among them, the descendants of the Yan family are the most curious.

Some people even put forward the claim that the ancestors of the Yan family found a treasure in this barren land and wanted to keep it for themselves, but this statement was quickly dismissed as nonsense. The reason is simple, no one has ever heard of any treasure that can last forever in the middle of nowhere.

With the passage of time, coupled with the efforts of several generations of the Yan family for hundreds of years, the barren land at that time was finally transformed into a region where people could cultivate normally, and I don't know how much manpower and material resources the Yan family invested during this period.

Since this area returned to normal, the reason why the Yan family chose this place back then has basically no one to delve into it, except for the descendants of the Yan family and some scholars.

"Actually, I'm ashamed to say that the reason I chose this place at that time was because I found a magic circle here. Yan Shengyan said slowly.

Magic Circle?

Yan Xiaotian looked at Yan Shengyan with doubts, what kind of magic array was worthy of the Yan family's efforts for a hundred years. You must know that in the first hundred years, none of the generations of the Yan family's family masters had reached the fifth order, and this situation also made the Yan family's life during that period of time be considered stormy.

After a pause, Yan Shengyan continued: "This magic array is very cumbersome, and I have studied its effect for hundreds of years before I have come to a rough conclusion, it should be used to seal something, and this thing that was sealed may be a product of the age of the gods. ”

A product of the Age of the Gods!

Yan Xiaotian was shocked, in this era when the Holy Rank was enough to dominate the Arad Continent, any item that was related to the Age of the Gods could be said to be priceless.

"The old man's strength is also in the years of studying this magic array, and he has unconsciously reached the current level, and he is only one step away from the holy level, which can be regarded as a gain and loss. Yan Shengyan said self-deprecatingly.

"I see, thank you ancestors for solving my doubts. Yan Xiaotian said respectfully.

Yan Shengyan shook his head and said, "I brought you here to tell you this secret for no other purpose, but I suddenly had a feeling that the sudden rebellion of the empire this time might be related to this magic array. ”

When Yan Xiaotian heard this, he thought quietly for a while and said, "I understand the ancestor, so I will arrange people to protect the safety of the forbidden land." ”

"No, your mission is to quell the rebellion of the Empire, and I will protect the forbidden land, so I just told you that I may not fight in the battle later. Yan Shengyan said.

"I see, then I retire, Ancestor. ”

......

"Old marshal, old marshal, what's wrong with you?"

His thoughts gradually retracted, and Yan Xiaotian found that Zhou Qingfeng and a large group of people were surrounding him, with a look of concern on their faces.

"It's nothing, it's a meeting, everyone is worried, okay, pass my order, everyone rest on the spot to recover their fighting spirit and magic, and deal with Desk's counterattack at any time. Yan Xiaotian said loudly.

"Yes. ”
