Chapter 113: The Arrow!
Zhuang Han hesitated slightly.
"What's the matter? Hou Ye looks down on Lao Ji?" Seeing that Zhuang Han hesitated, Ji Ran pretended to be displeased.
"City Lord Ji said with a smile! The reason why I hesitated is because the matter entrusted by Zhuang is not a public matter, but a private matter!" Zhuang Han smiled and glanced at the people at the table.
As soon as he said this, Liu Meng had already guessed seventy-seven eighty-eight in his heart. During this time, Zhuang Han spared no effort to find Zhuang Xuan, and all the forces in the entire Tianyun City knew about it.
"Mr. Zhuang is looking for Ling Lang Zhuang Xuan?" Liu Meng smiled slightly.
"Hehe! Let the three princes and everyone laugh! Zhuang Mou punished himself with a cup!"
After speaking, Zhuang Han drank all the wine in the cup.
When he was seven years old, I had an accident, and since then I have wandered the world and have no fixed place to live. The two of them thought that I was no longer alive, lonely, and dependent on each other. ”
"A few days ago, during the Black Devil Ridge trial, I didn't expect our father and son to be able to reunite. But suddenly news came that the dumb girl was captured by the enemy and forced me to exchange Zhuang Xuan. As a last resort, our father and son separated again, I went back to save my wife, and Zhuang Xuan stayed in the Black Devil Ridge. ”
"Who knew that when I rescued the dumb girl and settled down, the Black Devil Ridge trial ended ahead of schedule except for the accident. And Zhuang Xuan's whereabouts are also unknown. ”
Speaking of this, Zhuang Han felt a little heavy and involuntarily stopped. Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was a little solemn for a while.
"Zhuang is this one son, now and will be. I owe them so much that I want to make up for them!"
Jing Li looked at the emotional Zhuang Han with tears in his eyes, and his heart was bitter.
Is this talking to himself? Jing Li didn't know. He only knew Zhuang Han's last few words, which made her heart pound and feel suffocated.
"Ahem! Don't talk about Hou Ye! Looking for the little Hou Ye, Ji knows what to do, you just wait for the good news!"
Ji Ran is also a temperamental person, and when he heard the heart, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all.
"I have been partners with Lao Ji for many years, what he wants to do, how can Xiao not support it!" Xiao Jingxuan also took a glass of wine and drank it all.
"Master Hou, I have also eaten this meal and drunk the wine. The purpose of this trip has been achieved, since we have already promised the Hou Ye, then we can't delay for a moment! Lao Xiao and I will leave here, and make good plans to find the little Hou Ye!"
"The third prince, the thirteenth princess, Miss Jingli, I'm waiting to say goodbye!" Xiao Jingxuan also stood up, clasped his hands into fists, and turned around and left with Ji Ran.
The two of them have a fiery style, and the rest of the people can't help laughing.
"These two people are really!" Liu Congshan looked at the direction in which the two were leaving, covered her mouth and chuckled.
Liu Meng also shook his head with a wry smile, picked up the wine glass in front of him and slowly brought it to his mouth, there was a different meaning in the depths of his eyes.
On this day, there were rumors everywhere in Tianyun City about Zhuang Han's sealing of the marquis, and at the same time, in addition to Zhuang Han, the news that the royal family had also sealed seven other marquis also spread to Tianyun City. While everyone was cheering and celebrating, they faintly felt that a dark cloud was gradually hanging over the sky of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty.
Zhuang Han is sealed, some people are happy and some are worried.
In a courtyard somewhere in Heavenly Fortune City, nine and a half elders gathered together secretly, as if they were discussing something.
"Great Elder, among us, you are the only one with the oldest seniority and the highest cultivation. If it weren't for Zhuang Han's sudden killing, the current management might be under your control! Now that Zhuang Han has been named the Hou Ye again, it is equivalent to saying that he is like a tiger with wings, and the situation is very unfavorable to you and us!" said an old man in a white robe with a worried face to the old man sitting in the first seat.
The old man listened to his words, smiled slightly, and glanced at the other seven people at the long table.
"That's what you think too?" he asked with a smile.
The others were silent, apparently acquiescing to the white-robed old man's words.
"You only saw the benefits of Zhuang Han's feudal marquis, but did not see the hidden drawbacks! Since ancient times, there have been all the birds and good bows. The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. ”
With that, his gaze skimmed over everyone's faces.
"The current emperor of the Heavenly Sage Dynasty is not a good character, his words and deeds are well thought out! No matter how many marquis he is, as long as there is no legitimate reason, his intention is worth scrutinizing. Either they want to kill them, or they're going to be used right away. ”
"The royal family's advantage is not easy to take advantage of! If my expectations are right, the world will be chaotic! In this way, Zhuang Han, as the marquis canonized by the royal family, has to obey the dispatch of the royal family at a critical moment. In this way, he only has two results, one is to sacrifice his life for the country, and the other is to be unloaded and killed donkey!"
When the Great Elder said this, he stopped speaking, looked at the eight people who were deep in thought, and silently picked up the fragrant tea in front of him and took a sip.
"Good tea!
praised two good teas in a row, waking up everyone in deep thought.
"Then according to the meaning of the Great Elder, let's wait and see what happens?" the white-robed old man asked.
"Those who should come will always come, and those who shouldn't come, it's useless to be in a hurry! Look, a good show is about to begin!" the Great Elder said with a hint as he put down his teacup.
After finishing speaking, he glanced in a certain direction without a trace, and a black shadow disappeared. A meaningful smile appeared on the Great Elder's face.
"Whew-"
In a secluded alley, a black-clad figure stopped, bent over, holding his hand against the wall and panting violently.
"Damn! This old thing, it's so cunning! It's so annoying that you've already discovered me, and you're deliberately pretending not to find out!"
After the man in black finished speaking, he tore off the face towel on his face, revealing a handsome face. If you look closely, it is not difficult to see that the young man's left hand is missing a finger.
"But what the old fellow said also makes sense, the intentions of the royal family are worth scrutinizing! I have to tell the master quickly, and let him be careful!" the young man finished speaking, and once again covered his veil, like a vigorous leopard, and quickly disappeared into the distance.
This young man is the captain of the Black Devil Squad and the only disciple of Zhuang Han, Chi Yue!
In the study, Zhuang Han quietly looked at the books in his hand. A dark shadow suddenly appeared in the room, without making a sound. After this figure appeared, he knelt on one knee and waited quietly for Zhuang Han to finish reading the book in his hand.
When he was studying, he didn't like to be disturbed. This is a habit that Zhuang Han has developed over the years. Most of the people under him know about it.
After a while, Zhuang Han closed the book, put the book back in its place, and then turned around to look at the man in black.
"Discovery?" Zhuang Han asked.
"The subordinates overheard some conversations, which should be useful to the adults!" the man in black was still kneeling on the ground, his head hanging low.
"Get up and talk, are there outsiders, between you and me, don't be so angry!" Zhuang Han smiled slightly.
The man in black stood up and pulled off his scarf, revealing Chi Yue's face.
After listening to Chi Yue's words, Zhuang Han was silent for a long time.
"Master, I think what the Great Elder said is not unreasonable, you still have to be careful!" Chi Yue reminded Zhuang Han when he saw that Zhuang Han was silent.
"Well, I know it in my heart! In the future, I don't have to keep an eye on those old guys! At least I don't have to spy on them until I complete the task of the royal family!" Zhuang Han said, the corners of his mouth revealing a cold arc.
"It's time for the world to know my Zhuang Han's name, and this time, I have to thank the royal family for giving me such a good opportunity!"
After Zhuang Han finished speaking, his expression suddenly straightened.
"How's the intelligence investigation about the Irony Dynasty?"
"News came back from the border, saying that it was the national division of the country that had personally appointed the general to take command, and at present 500,000 troops had been assembled and were heading to the border of the Heavenly Saint Dynasty in batches, and now there were 200,000 troops stationed on the border of the country!" Chi Yue informed Zhuang Han in detail of the information he had obtained.
"Very good! Send the order, let the people over there continue to keep an eye on, and report it immediately as soon as there is any trouble! In addition, the matter of finding Zhuang Xuan must also speed up the progress!" Zhuang Han said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" seemed to feel the urgency in Zhuang Han's heart, and Chi Yue replied in a deep voice. Then the figure flashed and disappeared into the darkness.
Tianjing, the capital of the Heavenly Sage Dynasty, shows a dignified atmosphere everywhere.
I don't know when it began, in the camp of the Praetorian Guard, which had been quiet for a long time, there were deafening shouts of killing every day, and the drills of the Praetorian Guard in the Imperial City had been for some time, and signs of conscription were posted everywhere in front of the city gates.
All these signs indicate that war is about to begin. The hearts of the people living in the imperial city are like pressing a stone and becoming heavy.
On this day, a team drove on the official road not far from the capital. The huge banner moves in the wind, and the big word Yi flickers in the wind.
In the middle of the procession there is a magnificent carriage with exquisite carvings on the body, and the purple body gives people an extraordinary sense of dignity.
In the car, a young man in his thirties with a white face and beard reclined on a soft couch, slowly swaying with the rhythm of the carriage.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and the young man slowly opened his eyes.
"Master Hou, we're here!"
Outside the car, an attendant said respectfully.
The young man's eyes flashed, and he slowly lifted the curtain and looked forward.
A quaint and solemn city gate stands in front of you. The city gate was a little high, and the young man tilted his head in the car, and could faintly see the flag fluttering in the wind at the top of the city gate. In the middle of the city gate, the two huge characters of 'Tianjing' hang high in front of the city gate, revealing endless vicissitudes and majesty.
The walls on both sides are a little lower than the gates, but they are still tall. The city wall is centered on the city gate, extending to both sides, and from a distance, it looks like a winding black giant snake, enclosing the entire imperial city in the middle.
The young man looked at the big characters on the city gate in a trance, and slowly lowered the curtain in a trance.
"Into town!"
The young man said lightly, and the entourage outside the car should be respectful.
In an instant, the whole team slowly approached the city gate.
"Who is coming? Tianjing is a heavy land, and those who trespass will be killed!" When the team was less than fifty feet away from the mouth, the soldiers defending the city shouted at the team. Along with the words, fell a feather of an arrow that glowed with black light.
The arrow feathers landed exactly one foot in front of the person at the front of the line. The sharp arrowhead sank deep into the bluestone slab, and the tail of the arrow feather trembled violently with the fierce force.
"I don't like this person!"
A faint sound came from the carriage.
As soon as the voice fell, one of the monks in the group suddenly jumped up from his horse, landed in front of the group, stretched out his hand, and pulled out the arrow feather stuck in the ground, and placed it on the huge bow that had already been removed.
A sharp whistling sounded, a muffled snort sounded from the dullness, and a soldier in armor fell from the high city gate, spreading a scarlet on the bluestone floor of the city gate.
In an instant, there was silence in front of the city gates!
