Chapter 445: The Peacock King's Military Order
"Bastard, who is so blind-eyed that they dare to care about the affairs of our Vajra Sect?"
A group of disciples of the Vajra Sect got up from the ground and looked around for the person who had injured them just now.
Their bodies were full of injuries, half of them had broken their muscles and bones, and half of them were also discouraged, looking angry, wanting to settle accounts with Ning Xiaochuan.
"I don't know if I'm alive or dead. ”
Ning Xiaochuan didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, stretched out a palm, and a large piece of martial arts vitality in the form of a dragon and tiger flew out of his palm, making a dragon roaring sound, and burrowed into their bodies with teeth and claws.
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
The Martial Dao Heart Palace in their bodies was all shattered by the Martial Dao Yuan Qi, and the Martial Dao Cultivation was completely abolished, lying on the ground and convulsing, unable to get up.
They knew they had hit the iron plate today, but unfortunately it was too late to regret it.
Ning Xiaochuan didn't kill them, but just abolished their cultivation and let them fend for themselves in the war.
"The inner city is in chaos like this, won't the outer city become even more chaotic? It's really a tree that has fallen apart, and the Yulan Empire, which has been strong for eight hundred years, has collapsed in just a few years. Prosperity must decline, and it is indeed the truth!"
Ning Xiaochuan took Chen Jiuxuan through the streets and alleys, witnessed many chaotic scenes, and quickly returned to the Sword Pavilion Marquis Mansion.
The outside of the Sword Pavilion Marquis' Mansion was crowded with dense crowds, among them, there were some high-ranking people sitting on the golden chariots, guarded by a large group of guards, and there were also some warriors and stewards from the General's Mansion, the National Teacher's Mansion, and the Hou Mansion who rode over on mysterious beasts, and some were warriors with relatively low status, and so on.
Anyway, the outside of the Sword Pavilion Marquis' Mansion was overcrowded, and several streets were blocked, making it a mess, all of which were people who wanted to take refuge in the Sword Pavilion Marquis' Mansion.
"The little marquis's martial arts cultivation is extraordinary, and the strength of the old marquis is even more thorough, but we must be contained, otherwise, when the rebels enter the imperial city, we will be unlucky. ”
"We, the Marquis of Qingyun, are willing to exchange half of our wealth for the protection of the Marquis of the Sword Pavilion. ”
"We, the Tiance General's Mansion, are willing to become vassals of the Sword Pavilion Marquis Mansion, and are willing to advance and retreat together with the Sword Pavilion Marquis Mansion. ”
......
The outer city has been breached, and it is only a matter of time before the rebels enter the inner city, and the masters of the major families have begun to panic and rush around, wanting to throw themselves under the banner of the powerful Sword Pavilion Marquis Mansion, the Great Jinpeng Mansion and other big forces.
Ning Xiaochuan could only shake his head and smile bitterly, before the rebels really entered the city, everyone had already begun to mess up.
How can you keep the imperial city like this?
However, their psychology Ning Xiaochuan can understand, since they already know that the general trend has gone, then naturally they all reserve their strength and strive to fight out of the imperial city, and it is a big deal to occupy a territory and divide the land as the king.
After Ning Xiaochuan returned to the Hou Mansion, he immediately went to see the old Hou Ye to discuss the major matter of evacuating the imperial city.
"In the outer city, there is an underground secret passage! How long did you send someone to open it?" the old marquis was also very surprised when he heard the news.
You must know that the underground of the imperial city is arranged with very dense formations, and every ten years, the imperial court will send special personnel to investigate the underground, and if it is found that there is a passage underground, it will immediately investigate strictly. If anyone dares to dig underground secret passages, they will be punished as treason, and they will be beheaded all over the house.
Therefore, even if the Sword Pavilion Marquis Mansion has a history of nearly a thousand years in the imperial city, it has not dug an underground passage without authorization, in case it is detected by the people in the court, it will be a big trouble.
Moreover, if you want to build a secret passage in the underground of the Imperial City, it is not something that can be completed simply, there is no time for several years, and it is impossible to open up the layers of seals and formations underground.
Ning Xiaochuan said: "I mentioned to my grandfather earlier that my grandson established a force outside the city, and it was this force that dug the underground passage. The entrance is in a hidden stronghold in the outer city, and if we want to retreat, we can move now. ”
The old marquis's eyes were uncertain, looking at the bricks and tiles, grass and trees of the Sword Pavilion Marquis's Mansion, these were all the foundations left by the ancestors, if it wasn't for the last resort, he was very reluctant to give up the one thing here.
Once the rebels enter the imperial city, the thousand-year-old mansion of the Sword Pavilion Marquis Mansion will definitely turn into a scorched earth.
"Wait a minute! Although the rebels broke through a wall in the outer city, they were dispatched from all over the country to defend the imperial city as many as eight million, and more than half of them were assembled in the outer city. ”
The old marquis has nostalgia in his heart, although he has hatred for Emperor Yulan, but he has never wanted to rebel against the court.
After all, the ancestors of the Sword Pavilion Marquis Mansion were loyal to the Yulan Empire and had made great contributions. These feats are a kind of supreme glory for the Sword Pavilion Marquis Mansion, and who is willing to give up the ancestors to exchange their blood for glory?
The Sword Pavilion Marquis Mansion has a lot of industries in the Imperial City, and there are also many mines and manors around the Imperial City, once it escapes from the Imperial City, it means that the Sword Pavilion Marquis Mansion will lose more than half of its heritage and wealth, and many of the properties of the Hou Mansion will also be divided by the rebels.
The old marquis continued: "The princes stationed in various parts of the empire, after learning that the imperial city is in an emergency, will soon lead a large army to come to the rescue. In fact, the imperial court still had great hopes of suppressing the rebels. ”
Ning Xiaochuan didn't have any sense of belonging to the imperial court, and he didn't think that the glory and foundation of the Sword Pavilion Marquis Mansion were anything remarkable, but he knew that the old marquis would definitely take these very seriously, and until the last moment, his old man would definitely not choose to leave the imperial city.
For the old marquis, retreating to the imperial city means failure, shame, and loss of the wealth and inheritance left by the ancestors.
Ning Xiaochuan didn't want to say anything more, pondered for a moment, and said, "Actually, that underground passage is also very narrow, and it can't make everyone withdraw from the imperial city at one time. In fact, we can let the most outstanding young genius in the clan withdraw from the Imperial City first, so that even if the old man of the Sword Pavilion Marquis Mansion can't kill the Imperial City in the end, at least the new bloodline of the Sword Pavilion Marquis Mansion has been preserved, and there will be a chance to make a comeback in the future. ”
The old marquis nodded and said, "You're right, if the rebels really enter the imperial city, the younger generation of disciples can play a very small role, and they should be allowed to withdraw from the imperial city first." Let the four ancestors escort them to the southern frontier. At the same time, you can also take this opportunity to transfer the thousand-year-old wealth stored in the Sword Pavilion Marquis's Mansion just in case. ”
After a pause, the old marquis said again: "Xiaochuan, you and Xin'er should also withdraw from the imperial city first!"
Ning Xiaochuan said: "If we all leave, won't Grandpa be alone?"
"Only when you are all gone, can I fight those rebels without any worries. The old marquis's eyes spit out a bright brilliance, and a monstrous battle intent burst out from his body.
The old marquis has been sharpening himself on the battlefield since he was a child, and he has never been afraid of fighting.
Ning Xiaochuan's eyes were cloudy, and he said: "If everyone in the court can be as firm as grandpa and have the same hatred for the enemy, even if the rebels are given three and five years, they may not be able to capture the imperial city." However, the moment the walls of the outer city were breached, the hearts of the entire imperial city were already in turmoil. I'm afraid that in less than a month, the imperial city will fall completely. ”
The old marquis said: "There is no way to do this! Emperor Yulan and King Jinpeng are not in the imperial city, and the imperial court has lost its soul, which naturally makes many people panic. ”
Just when Ning Xiaochuan and the old marquis were talking about how to get the younger generation of clansmen to withdraw from the imperial city, the Marquis of Zhenbei came to the Sword Pavilion Marquis Mansion with the military order of the Peacock Ming King!
"The Marquis of the Sword Pavilion is also out of the customs, it seems that the injury from some time ago has healed, it is a pity. Wearing a black iron armor, Zhenbei Hou hurriedly walked in, followed by two teams of ironclad sergeants.
He bowed to the old marquis from afar.
Although the Marquis of Zhenbei is also a marquis, he is only a non-hereditary marquis, and his identity is very different from that of the Marquis of the Sword Pavilion, so he naturally has to salute first.
The old marquis also returned the salute and said with a smile: "Now that the war in the outer city is tight, the Marquis of Zhenbei can still come to the Sword Pavilion Marquis Mansion, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as coming to congratulate, right?"
The Marquis of Zhenbei didn't say much polite words, and said: "It's not a secret, Benhou came with the military order of the Peacock Ming King." Ning Xiaochuan took the order!"
Ning Xiaochuan's eyes shrank slightly, and he was still standing there, without the intention of kneeling down to receive the order.
Even when he saw the holy decree, he never knelt, let alone knelt down to the military order of the Peacock King.
The Marquis of Zhenbei also knew Ning Xiaochuan's character, but he did not force him to kneel down to accept the order, so he read out the order of the Peacock Ming King: "The Peacock Ming King has an order to appoint Ning Xiaochuan as the commander of the Dragon Elephant Knight Battalion, and lead the entire battalion of the Dragon Elephant Knight Battalion to repel the rebels who broke into the outer city before dark, and re-seal the gap in the wall of the outer city! ”
The Peacock King actually made him the commander of the Dragon Elephant Divine Martial Camp!
If it is in peacetime, he can become the commander of the Dragon Elephant Divine Martial Battalion, but it is a great honor, a high position, and the command of the most elite troops in the empire, which is definitely the envy of everyone.
However, now that the Imperial City is surrounded by rebels, the person who becomes the commander of the Dragon Elephant Divine Martial Battalion will definitely be pushed into the limelight.
Ning Xiaochuan glanced at the old marquis slightly.
The old marquis's eyes were very solemn, and he said: "Zhenbei Hou, Xiaochuan's age is still too young after all, and he has never been to the battlefield to train, and I am afraid that the prince will be too hasty to entrust such a heavy task to him." There are many capable people in the court, and there are many people who can become the commander of the Dragon Elephant Shenwu Battalion, such as Luo Shenhou, and ......"
The Marquis of Zhenbei said solemnly: "The imperial court is an eventful time, the imperial city is in danger, and it is the time when someone needs to come out to boost the morale of the army." Although the young marquis is young, but the cultivation of supernatural powers is amazing, the martial arts of the Demon Gate and the Yiyuan Sect have died in his hands, and two days ago, he defeated the martial arts overlord like the Lord of Xunjun Peak, forcing the Lord of Xunjun Peak to cut off his arm. Xiao Hou Ye has long been known as a person who makes the rebels fearful, and if he does not serve as the commander of the Dragon Elephant Divine Martial Battalion, there will be no better candidate. ”
