Chapter 109: East Secluded Town
Everyone rode the blue-veined unicorn at full speed, and two days later, Zhang Yi and his party finally came to the last city on the edge of the Dongyou Swamp, "Dongyou City". [Ran^Text^Library] []
Looking at the majestic city wall more than ten meters high, Zhang Xin'er couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect the city on the edge of the empire to be so big, although it is not as magnificent and shocking as the imperial capital, but it gives people a feeling of iron-blooded tenacity." ”
Shangguan Yaochen didn't miss any opportunity to show himself in front of Zhang Xin'er, and hurriedly posted it with a flattering face and said: "This Dongyoucheng is the last city in the east of our Huaye Empire, and it is a veritable east gate of Huaye, and there are more than 200,000 soldiers stationed here as a border city, but it is not used to defend against the invasion of other countries, but to defend against the demonic beasts from the Dongyou swamp, every year there will be more or less demonic beasts in the autumn in vain trying to break into the Dongyou City to hunt and eat humans, but the soldiers of my Huaye Empire are all ... ...”
"Chu Mingyang, do you Jinjia Hua Longwei also have a garrison in Dongyou City?" Zhang Xin'er didn't pay attention to the gushing Shangguan Yaochen at all, but asked about Chu Mingyang on the side. Shangguan Yaochen's hand, which was still waving, suddenly froze in the air.
Seeing Zhang Xin'er asking himself, Chu Mingyang replied very modestly: "Miss Xin'er's guess is correct, all of our Jinjia Hualongwei who have cultivated to reach the peak of Douzun will come to the Dongyou Swamp to garrison for a year, ten people each time, and each person must get ten seventh-level demonic beast essence before they can return to the imperial capital to resume their lives, if there is not enough one person, everyone must stay, if someone sacrifices during this period, then the remaining people will be dealt with by harsh military law." ”
"What kind of military law is it, it's so scary. Zhang Xin'er was like a curious kitten, chasing Chu Mingyang and continuing to ask.
"I don't know about that, because no one has ever been court-martialed so far. Chu Mingyang's tone was full of pride, although he was now Zhang Yi's guardian knight, he was still a member of the Golden Armor Hualong Guard.
Looking at the two people who were chatting unusually speculatively, Shangguan Yaochen's nose was about to be crooked, but it was not easy to attack, so he could only look at Zhang Yi with an angry and aggrieved face and said, "Cousin, you have a good guard. ......”
Zhang Yi nodded very approvingly and said, "I think so too......"
Because it is a border city, the entry and exit checks are extremely strict, and it takes several minutes for each person to enter the city. Zhang Yi didn't want to be too ostentatious and line up behind the crowd, but Shangguan Yaochen didn't have the patience of Zhang Yi. Ignoring Zhang Yi's obstruction, he walked straight to the city gate, and Qian said to a soldier guarding the city: "I am Shangguan Yaochen, the third prince of the Huaye Empire, let your city lord come to see me." Saying that, Shangguan Yaochen took out the royal token and showed it to the soldiers guarding the city.
Seeing the token soldier, he was shocked and curious and glanced at Shangguan Yaochen, and then responded respectfully and hurriedly went to inform the city lord of Dongyou City.
A moment later, a group of soldiers dressed in neat armor walked out of the eastern secluded city, led by a man about forty years old, with broad shoulders and a cold face. Behind him were five guards in golden armor, none other than the golden-armored Hua Longwei stationed in the Eastern Hidden City.
The man saw Shangguan Yaochen standing at the gate of the city at a glance, and hurriedly walked a few steps to Shangguan Yaochen, knelt down on one knee in front of Shangguan Yaochen, and said in a deep voice: "The last general, Shen Weijun, greets the third prince. ”
"Greetings to the Prince!" all the soldiers also knelt down and shouted in unison. The ordinary people who were still outside the city also knelt down one after another when they heard that the third prince was coming, for fear that the slow movement would make the third prince unhappy, and for a time thousands of people knelt outside the entire Dongyou City.
But only Zhang Yi and a few people did not kneel, which undoubtedly made them the object of everyone's attention. Without Shen Weijun speaking, a small group of soldiers walked towards Zhang Yi and them. Before this group of soldiers could ask, Chu Mingyang blocked in front of Zhang Yi, not only Chu Mingyang, but even Di Han also took a few steps forward to protect Zhang Yi behind him, Zhang Yi didn't say anything about Di Han's actions, just took a deep look at Di Han, who was expressionless.
Seeing Zhang Yi, not only were they not afraid, but someone dared to step forward to block them, and the soldiers were also stunned, but they were not impulsive, they were all battle-hardened warriors, and instinctively sensed a dangerous aura from Chu Mingyang and Di Han's bodies, especially Di Han's expressionless appearance and the blood-red right eye, who was frightened when he saw it.
"General Shen, they are ......" Shangguan Yaochen wanted to tell Shen Weijun that Zhang Yi was with him, but before he finished speaking, Shen Weijun continued: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, rest assured, you can deal with these few Diao Min generals who do not respect the royal family. ”
"But......" Shangguan Yaochen's words had not yet come out, and the group of soldiers had already aimed their weapons at Chu Mingyang and Di Han, although they were afraid of Di Han and the two, but this was not enough to make them retreat, not to mention that the third prince of the empire was still watching, no matter what, he had to take down these "Diao Min".
Although Chu Mingyang is the golden armor of the empire, he is also Zhang Yi's guardian knight, in order to protect Zhang Yi, even if he is the enemy of the empire, he will not hesitate, and Di Han, not to mention, after all kinds of deception and betrayal, the only person he can trust and rely on now is Zhang Yi, and there is no sense of belonging to the empire, Di Han has no scruples.
Just when the two sides were about to make a move, Zhang Yi appeared in front of Chu Mingyang and Di Han like ghosts, and the soldiers who had originally raised their weapons suddenly seemed to be pressed on their bodies by a golden boulder, and they all knelt on the ground, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't stand up. Zhang Yi didn't make any further movements, turned around and smiled and patted Chu Mingyang's shoulder and nodded to Di Han.
Everyone was taken aback when they saw this scene, in the eyes of others, Zhang Yi appeared in front of the soldier as if he was teleporting, and then the sabre-rattling soldier half-knelt on the ground as if he had surrendered.
A few people who thought they would be easily subdued but instead subdued the heavily armed soldiers, and what shocked everyone even more was that they obviously didn't see what the young man had done, but the soldiers all knelt on the ground without exception, so that some of the people who were closer to Zhang Yi and them were so frightened that they took a few steps back and wanted to stay away from Zhang Yi and them, and their eyes changed from contempt and schadenfreude to fear.
"Boldly Diao the people, let the soldiers who dare to hurt my empire, come to me and take them down. Shen Weijun said angrily with a gloomy face.
"General Shen is slow, listen to me, they are not enemies, they are all from the imperial capital with me. Shangguan Yaochen said helplessly. I've seen such an acute child, but it's the first time I've seen such an acute child.
"It's all your friends, then why didn't you tell the last general in the first place?" asked Shen Weijun with some embarrassment.
Shangguan Yaochen's eyes changed, and he said angrily, "I wanted to say it for a long time, but did you give me a chance to say it?"
