Chapter 0780: Two Thousand Private Army
Few people know that the cliff under the city of Nanjiang is actually half empty, there is a huge underground palace inside, it is impossible to know when it was built, but the Dayue royal family believes that it was built together with this city, the underground palace has two entrances, one is located in today's city lord's mansion, that is, the backyard of the Chu family's house, there is a study, a three-story building, the door is locked on weekdays, Chu Helian not only strictly prohibits outsiders from entering, if there is no permission, even his own family is not allowed to approach this place, and this building is lonely and located by a small abandoned pond, the Chu family has a big business, and few people do come on weekdays。
And the other entrance is in the Nanjiang Palace, this mansion is in the easternmost part of the city, built more magnificent and luxurious than the city lord's mansion, but this mansion was built after the establishment of the Dayue Dynasty, there was no past, when it was built, the first Nanjiang King of Dayue moved a little tricks, secretly connected the mansion with the underground palace, and excavated this second entrance.
And what is the use of this dungeon?
Storing grain, storing weapons, wartime can also be used for escape and sneak attack, more than 700 years ago, there was a small dynasty in the south of Da Yue, named Chiwu, at that time Nanjiang City was located on the border of the two dynasties, stationed as many as 300,000 troops, the food stored in the underground palace was enough for these people to eat for two years.
That small dynasty was destroyed by Dayue six hundred years ago, and became the three counties of Dayue south of the Nanjiang River, but since the time of the fall of the country, these three counties are superficially obedient, in fact, there are many nobles who have died in the secret planning to restore the country, but because the strength is too weak, there has been no big name for more than 500 years, and the most sensational thing has been done, that is, two hundred years ago, he assassinated a Nanjiang king, but he was soon retaliated by the angry Dayue royal family, and many core children died.
In fact, Da Yue has received a lot of secret reports over the years, and the remnants of Chiwu are ready to move, training soldiers in the forests of the three counties, forging blades, and bribing Nanling monks, but because of the threat of the traditionalists, Da Yue has been turning a blind eye and not daring to really care, but it has also given the Nanjiang King the power to lead the Nanjiang army, if there is really chaos, the army can go south at any time to quell the rebellion.
There are nine layers in the underground palace, the upper three layers store grain, the middle three layers store weapons, the lower three layers have been sealed, except for the king of Nanjiang, others are strictly forbidden to enter, and the bottom layer has a secret passage, leading directly to the deep mountains thirty miles away, this is the escape road when it is a last resort.
The king of Nanjiang himself often goes to the underground palace, where there are 3,000 soldiers of the Nanjiang army, who are responsible for taking care of the materials stored here on weekdays, and the city lord Chu Helian and the general Zhao Yong also come to inspect occasionally, but even if these two people have the qualifications to enter the underground palace, they don't know that there are actually two thousand private troops of the king of Nanjiang hidden in this underground palace, which are stationed in the lower three layers.
"The prince is interesting, could it be that he can't trust those two?"
Wei Zhengyang held his hands behind his back, and the torches on both sides of the tunnel were blazing, illuminating his face brightly.
Zhengyang said with a smile, it's not that he doesn't trust them, the rules of these two thousand private armies have long been in place, maybe you have also heard that I Dayue once had a Nanjiang king assassinated, after that, the royal family allowed the Nanjiang king to train two thousand private troops to ensure their own safety, if there is civil strife in Nanjiang City, these two thousand people can also become a strange army. ”
King Nanjiang walked in the forefront, he was followed by two strong men with black armor and iron faces, his breath was awe-inspiring, Wei Zhengyang himself was also a monk, although the realm was not high, but it could still be judged that these two people were the pinnacle of the Linghai realm, and they were one step away from becoming gods.
Although Chu Helian and Zhao Yong didn't say it, they probably knew a little bit about it, after all, these two people have been in Nanjiang City for decades, but they are very smart and never ask, and I naturally won't say it, it's just tacit. The king of Nanjiang shrugged his shoulders, took Wei Zhengyang all the way to the bottom, passed through a spacious stone cave, and became cheerful, below is a stone cave with a square circle of thousands of zhang, standing thousands of tents, which are brightly lit, full of people, and two thousand soldiers are training.
The King of Nanjiang pointed down and said proudly, "Zhengyang, you said that you want a surprise soldier, except for them, there is no more suitable candidate in Nanjiang City!"
Wei Zhengyang squinted slightly, since Wei Nongjiao took charge of the Wei family, the Wei family is no longer a simple family of cultivating immortals, nor is it a small family dedicated to only doing business to make money, the chess pieces and spies of the Wei family are all over Zhongzhou, and each of the main people is in charge of at least two hundred spies under his hands, they are not only investigating business-related matters, but also responsible for investigating the secrets of other families, sects, and dynasties. One by one, in front of Wei Chong's makeup, it turned into a huge net, which gave the Wei family the advantage, although the money spent over the years was enough to buy most of Dayue, but the money earned back was several times more. ninth
Of course, this is indispensable to the strong support of the Tianji Pavilion, and few people know that the spies of the Wei family were originally trained by the worship of the Tianji Pavilion.
However, even with such hands and eyes, the Wei family never knew that such an elite army was hidden under the hands of the King of Nanjiang.
The leading generals are all divine thoughts, and the soldiers underground are all Linghai, among which people at the peak of Linghai abound.
Sister Heavy Makeup is really right, these old dynasties should not be underestimated, they can be inherited for thousands of years under the watchful eye of a group of sects, it is impossible to have no confidence, even the Dali Dynasty that was unlucky enough to be destroyed by the demon clan not long ago is not simple, the royal family is flowing with the blood of the emperor, maybe when can turn the tables and build a dynasty again.
Wei Zhengyang remembered Wei Chong's advice before leaving, and he was very emotional.
"Then please ask the king of Nanjiang to give an order, after leaving the city, go fifty miles west, there will be people from my Wei family waiting," Wei Zhengyang said, "I hope that the king of Nanjiang will not be stingy, let these soldiers bring the best supplies, Nanling illusion is bad, don't lose manpower before arriving." ”
"This king knows," King Nanjiang nodded, "each of these soldiers will arrive in the hinterland of the three counties from here with the top-level divine talismans, and it will only take two hours at most. ”
"Very good, the transfer of the Nanjiang Army will also be handed over to the King of Nanjiang, can Zhao Yong be trusted?"
"Yes, he is my brother in life and death. ”
"That's it. Wei Zhengyang clapped his hands gently, with some joy on his face.
King Nanjiang hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What are we going to do next?"
"No, I'm going to go downstream," Wei Zhengyang laughed, "I want to meet a friend I've never met." ”
"Who?" King Nanjiang was curious.
"Hmm...... A friend of my sister's," Wei Zhengyang didn't elaborate, but reached out and patted Nanjiang Wang's arm, with some expectation on his face, "I've seen him for a long time." ”
