The majestic Great Red Ancient Capital is located in the center of the Xuanguang Great Domain, and before the Yin Sect came, the Red Yan Ancient Kingdom was here to balance the four directions, firmly controlling the vast territory of the Xuanguang Great Domain.

But now, the ancient country is surrounded by enemies in all directions, and the glory of the past is about to disappear, and even the Great Red Ancient Capital is in a precarious situation.

Under the cover of night, Chi Haoyun, the general of the city defense army, wearing a dark red battle armor and a sword hanging from his waist, once again climbed the thick city wall of the ancient capital of Dachi.

At this time, only Chi Haoyun's chief thinker, Li Nanhe, dared to step forward to speak, he not only dared, but also dared to smile and said, "The general doesn't seem to be very happy." ”

Chi Haoyun sighed lightly and said pessimistically, "Alas... The ancient country is in the midst of an eventful time, and who can be happy. ”

"First, the Terran Yin Sect invaded the east of the ancient country, then the Yan family betrayed the ancient country, and then the ancient civil strife."

"Now there are Ziyan Ancient Kingdom and Qingyan Ancient Kingdom taking advantage of the fire to rob, and there is still a great trouble in the south of the Terran Great Yin Ancient Kingdom, what is wrong with our Chiyan Ancient Kingdom?"

In fact, Chi Haoyun is also a member of the Red Royal Family, but he is not a direct descendant of the head of the country Chi Haochang, he belongs to the side line of the Red Royal Family.

Although it is a collateral line, his loyalty to the Chi family and Chi Haochang is undoubted, otherwise Chi Haochang, who is suspicious by nature, would not hand over such an important ancient capital city defense army to him.

Li Nanhe hesitated and said, "General, it is said... I've also heard rumors from the outside world... Alas... Forget it, let's not talk about it, lest you be upset to hear it. ”

"Say what?" Chi Haoyun waved his hand lightly, so that Li Nanhe didn't have to worry.

Li Nanhe pondered and said, "It is said that the Yan family did not betray the ancient country at all, and the reason why the Yan family was destroyed was completely an order given by the lord of the country for his own selfish interests. ”

"Nonsense." Chi Haoyun's face changed greatly, and he shouted in a fierce voice, "The Yan family... Yan Family... He is betraying the ancient country, and betraying the lord of the country is betraying the ancient country of Chiyan. ”

At that moment, a young arrogant young man, wearing the armor that should have belonged to the marshal of the town army, strode over, "So, is the general loyal to the lord of the country?" ”

Li Nanhe deliberately reminded loudly with a calm face, "Young Marshal Fang Ping, what did you say?" ”

After Fang Ping Shankui was assassinated, he couldn't wait to put on his father's marshal armor, and claimed to be the successor of Fang Ping's marshal mansion and the new generation of town army marshal of the ancient country.

But in Li Nanhe's eyes, this is a child who has been spoiled by his father, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to become a qualified battle, let alone take over the power of the marshal of the town army.

Fang Ping Dongyu raised his head, didn't look at Li Nanhe, glared at Chi Haoyun and asked, "The lord of the country led the army to the east to conquer the Yin Sect and has not returned yet, at this critical moment, as the general of the ancient capital, you did not welcome the lord of the country back to the Great Chi Ancient Capital to control the overall situation, but instead ordered the gate of the Quartet to be closed without authorization, what is the intention of this?" ”

Chi Haoyun looked serious and asked rhetorically, "What do you want to say?" ”

"General, do you have any objections?" Fang Ping Dongyu asked word by word.

"Fang Ping Zhenyu, you are presumptuous, don't think that you are the son of Marshal Fang Ping Shankui, you can talk nonsense here." Chi Haoyun was furious and reprimanded mercilessly, "General Ben is loyal to the lord of the country, and he has no two hearts. ”

Fang Ping Dongyu asked again without backing, "Then why didn't the general go to welcome the lord back to the ancient capital?" ”

Chi Haoyun held back the anger in his heart and explained in a deep voice, "The foreign enemy is coming, and this general must personally sit in the Great Chigu Capital, this is where his duty lies. ”

"Hmph, is it still an ancient capital without the lord of the country?" Fang Ping Dongyu snorted coldly and said his true intention, "If you don't go to welcome the return of the country lord, I'll go, you immediately order the city gate to be opened and let me lead the army out." ”

Chi Haoyun said murderously, "Who dares me to mess around, without the order of this general, no one can open the city gate, and those who violate it will be killed." ”

The piercing murderous aura made Fang Ping Dongyu feel frightened, he retreated one after another, after all, he was too young, and when he was a little frightened, he no longer had the courage to look at Chi Haoyun, and after putting down a cruel word, he hurriedly left, "You... You wait for me. ”

Waiting for Fang Ping Dongyu to stay away, Li Nanhe reminded with a solemn expression, "General, Young Marshal Fang Ping's performance is very strange, it seems that he is specially here to test the general. ”

Chi Haoyun's deep gaze glanced at the location of the Red Palace, and said with a sigh, "Alas... The lord of the country has not returned from the Eastern Crusade so far, and I am afraid that some people have thoughts that they should not have. ”

The temptation of the supreme power of the ancient kingdom is too great, and he is worried that it is the one from the Red Palace who can't help it, as for who it is, it is inconvenient for Chi Haoyun to say it directly because of his identity.

What a wise man Li Nanhe was, following Chi Haoyun's gaze, when he saw the location of the Red Palace, he suddenly woke up, and exclaimed, "What does the general mean... Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince he..."

The lord of the country has not returned from the Eastern Expedition, and now he is sitting in the Red Palace, but it is not the prince Chi Xicheng, and Fang Ping Dongyu of the Marshal of the Town Army is the prince's henchman.

At this point, it is naturally self-evident who is supporting Fang Ping Dongyu behind him.

"Don't say." Chi Haoyun shook his head with a heavy face, and motioned to Li Nanhe not to continue, so as not to get into trouble, "Let's just guard the Great Chigu Capital." ”

"Yes." Li Nanhe nodded with an ugly face, looked up at the sky, and sighed earnestly, "This Great Red Ancient Capital... It's also about to come with wind and rain. ”

………

……

In the Red Palace, in the Regent Palace, Fang Ping Dongyu, who came down from the city wall of the ancient capital, walked in angrily, clenched his fists and bowed his head, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the general of the city defense is too much, and he doesn't take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in his eyes at all." ”

Chi Xicheng, the crown prince of the Chiyan Ancient Kingdom, was very impatient to push away the many movements, got up and asked, "How is it?" ”

Fang Pingdongyu, who was stimulated by Chi Haoyun and felt embarrassed, said, "I was ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ask the general of the city defense to open the gate of the ancient capital and welcome the return of the lord of the country, but he said that without his order, no one can go out of the city, and those who violate it will be killed." ”

"It's too much, this Chiyan Ancient Kingdom belongs to the lord of the country and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, not his city defense general."

In the Regency Palace, a mysterious man in a black robe spoke, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid that the city defense general is really different. ”

Fang Ping Dongyu glanced at this mysterious black-robed man strangely, he didn't know why His Royal Highness the Prince's Regency Hall had such an existence, but this did not prevent him from nodding violently, "Yes, yes, yes... He must have had a different heart. ”

"Is there any evidence?" Chi Xicheng was shocked in his heart, and did not respond immediately, but looked at Fang Ping Dongyu and asked.

Fang Ping Dongyu said as a matter of course, "He ordered the city defense army to lock the four gates of the ancient capital and not allow anyone to enter or leave, isn't this a dissenting intention?" ”

Chi Xicheng smiled and said noncommittally, "The foreign enemy is coming, and the city defense general is right to do this." ”

"Your Highness's words are wrong." Fang Ping Dongyu was speechless, not knowing what to say, but at this moment, the mysterious black-robed man spoke.

"Oh, what does Mr. Fan think?" Chi Xicheng has a lot of respect for Mr. Fan beside him, because he knows that this staff think tank that has only recently invested in his command is a really talented person.

Although Chi Xicheng can't fully trust this Mr. Fan now, it doesn't affect his willingness to listen to Mr. Fan's opinions.

Mr. Fan didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said directly, "Your Highness, you can think about it, the city defense army locked the four gates of the ancient capital and cut off all contact with the outside world. ”

Chi Xicheng's pupils subconsciously contracted, this was also the problem he was most worried about, Gu was not under his control, he always felt that life and death were involuntary.

Originally, he had this worry, but now that Mr. Fan said this, he felt even more uneasy, but he had to persuade himself, "The general of the city defense is loyal to the lord of the country, and he should... I don't think I will have any dissenting thoughts..."

"At this time, the city defense army should be controlled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Mr. Fan then said, "But why, the general of the city defense has always been unwilling to take the initiative to hand over power? ”

Chixi was poor in words, "This..."

Fang Ping Dongyu echoed and said, "That's right, the city defense army is guarding the big red ancient capital of the Red Royal Family, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the inheritor of the Chiyan Ancient Kingdom, the eldest son of the Lord of the Red Royal Family, why can't he take over the city defense army?" ”

Mr. Fan reminded softly, "Obviously, the city defense general has selfish intentions and does not want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to control the Great Chi Ancient Capital. ”

Fang Ping Dongyu remembered something at this time, he approached Chi Xicheng, and said in a mysterious whisper, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the city defense general has always been close to the second prince. ”

As soon as these words came out, Chi Xicheng's face changed completely, he snorted coldly, waved his hand and shouted, "Hmph... You all go down, and think about it. ”

"Yes." Fang Ping Dongyu and the mysterious Mr. Fan slowly withdrew from the Regency Palace.

When Mr. Fan stepped out of the palace gate, he said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, before leaving, I want to say one last sentence, the power in your hands belongs to you." ”

Chi Xicheng's heart was greatly shaken, he slowly sat down on the throne, and muttered thoughtfully, "The Great Red Ancient Capital... City Defense... Power... It's mine..."

The mysterious Mr. Fan left the regency palace, left the Red Palace, and returned to a magnificent mansion in a carriage, which was given to him by the crown prince Chi Xicheng.

Entered the mansion, changed out of the black robe on his body, and restored his original appearance, the mysterious Mr. Fan was Fan Yao, the right envoy of the Yin Sect.

Lin Lirui, who had secretly arrived in the ancient capital of Dachi, walked out of a secret room, looked at Fan Yao and asked, "Right envoy, succeeded?" ”

It turned out that Fan Yao could join Chi Xicheng's command, all of which Lin Lirui was secretly planning, and according to Chi Xicheng's preferences and habits, Fan Yao successfully got Chi Xicheng's attention.

Fan Yao nodded lightly and said, "Thorn, I have already planted Chi Xicheng, it depends on when he can't help but break out." ”

After thinking about it, Fan Yao asked again, "But Bishop Lin, is it really useful to make Chi Xicheng suspicious of the city defense general?" ”

Lin Lirui smiled slightly and said, "As the so-called suspicion is a secret thorn, for the sake of power and the position of the lord of the country, Chi Xicheng will act soon." ”
