Not far from Jiuyao City, the carriage stopped, Dong Fei lifted the curtain and looked at it, "Stone, the heavy shield barracks have arrived, I hope you can make some progress here!"

Shi Jingtian shook his head helplessly, "With the city lord Liu Zhang's old plan, there will be no trace left here." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info I'm also just curious about the combat capabilities of this army, as well as its formation and intentions!"

"If this army is also the power of the Black Lotus Society, it will be large in the future. Sweeping through the entire Sun Death Continent and subverting the Imperial City is no longer a problem!"

"These are non-deniable, let's take a look first!" Shi Jingtian said as he helped Dong Fei get out of the carriage.

The striking heavy shield barracks occupy a large area, with tall and thick tree trunks sharpened at one end, densely arranged into a wall. Unlike the ordinary military camp, where the shouts were shaking, it was quiet inside, only a few soldiers could be seen watching the situation nearby on a few watchtowers standing in the middle.

The gate is very simple, and it is also connected by trees. There was a wooden sign hanging on the door, and a few small words in scribbled handwriting on the heavy shield barracks looked like an abandoned or improvised warehouse for storing military supplies.

It seemed that he had already known that someone would come, the gate slowly opened, and a sturdy soldier wearing a black and gray power suit, bowed his head slightly as a salute, "The city lord has already ordered that our heavy shield barracks cooperate with the inspection of the Red Army of the Imperial City, please come with me!"

"I can go by myself, Brother Dong, you and a group of soldiers are waiting for me outside!" Shi Jingtian stopped Dong Fei, who was about to go along, "I'll just take a look, nothing will happen!"

"Well, okay then! It's just that my legs and feet are inconvenient, I'll sit in the carriage and wait for you!" Dong Fei replied reassuringly, with the terrifying strength of the stone, who could do anything to him.

Seeing Shi Jingtian walking into the barracks alone, the soldiers were somewhat surprised, and then slowly closed the door again.

Walked into the heavy shield barracks, which covers such a large area, but it is a little empty inside. On each side is a neat row of wooden houses, with a slightly larger horse farm at the back, with about 1,800 tall horses.

In the middle of the open space, the soldiers wore black and gray practice uniforms, lined up in a neat phalanx, each holding a stone lock in both hands. The leader of the team waved the flag up and down, directing the soldiers to change their movements, and there was no sound in a uniform manner. Even from a distance, Shi Jingtian could see the sweat-soaked clothes clinging to the soldiers' backs.

"My lord, where do you want to go first?" asked the soldier who accompanied Shi Jingtian.

"Is the highest general in the heavy shield camp the commander or the commander? Let's go to him and find out first!" Originally, Shi Jingtian wanted to ask who the general who led the troops to Yixiongzhuang that night was, but it was estimated that this soldier would not say it even if he knew.

"The highest general in the barracks is Instructor Zhong Yan, go this way, I'll take you there!"

An instructor is the highest general, so it means that this heavy shield barracks was created and trained by this person named Zhong Yan, so he must be the one who led the troops to Yixiongzhuang.

Following the soldiers, they walked straight along the wooden hut on one side. The dozens of rooms in front should be soldiers' residences, looking inside from the panes, the environment is elegant, and the beds are neat. There are two rows on one side, and roughly counting the heavy shield barracks, plus the logistics staff, there are no more than 3,000 people.

Further on, there should be an arsenal of armory, glittering broadswords, spears, bows and arrows, and a large black shield more than one person high, arranged in an orderly manner. Then there was the kitchen, it was already noon, dozens of soldiers were busy cooking, all kinds of animal meat, green vegetables, rolling in several cauldrons, exuding bursts of aroma.

Such a barracks, such training, and such standards are already much higher than those of the Red Army. So, what kind of person is it who created and trained this army! With such ability, it is more than enough to lead the Red Army of the Imperial City as a commander of ten thousand soldiers, why should he collude with the Black Lotus Society?

Shi Jingtian was thinking about it, and the soldier reminded, "My lord, this is Instructor Zhong Yan's room, please!"

Pushing open the hidden door, a smell of books filled my nose. Shi Jingtian looked up and saw that there were large bookshelves on both sides of the room, and all kinds of books were full. Behind a long table in the middle sat a man, dressed in simple black cloth, with long hair tied up, but his face was covered with black veil, leaving only a flat eyebrow and deep wise eyes.

"Heavy shield barracks instructor Zhong Yan has seen adults!" Seeing Shi Jingtian push the door in, Zhong Yan walked steadily to Shi Jingtian, and saluted without saying anything or humbling.

"I'm not an envoy, and I'm not going to ask you anything, I'm just coming here to have a few words! Sit down!" Shi Jingtian knew that he was wearing the armor of the Red Army, Zhong Yan must have thought that the Imperial City had sent him to track down Yixiongzhuang, so he said straight to the point, and sat down on a chair by himself.

Zhong Yan didn't have so many polite words, and then took a chair and sat opposite Shi Jingtian, "My lord, if you want to know anything, just ask!"

Looking at the pair of precipitated and wise eyes in front of him, Shi Jingtian smiled, "Didn't you say it, there's nothing to ask, just a casual chat, and it's not the first time we've met!"

"My lord said and laughed, Xia Guan lives in the military camp, except for training soldiers on weekdays, he rarely goes out, I'm afraid this is the first time we have met!"

"In front of Yixiongzhuang, on the narrow road stained with hundreds of corpses and blood, you led a heavy shield attack on one side, while my friends and I desperately held on the other side, do you think you have met once?"

It was indeed Zhong Yan who led the troops to attack Yixiongzhuang, but the night was dark and the wind was high and the fire was shaking, and he couldn't see the people who were holding on to the opposite side at all. However, the impression is extremely profound, a fat and strong man who is more than two people tall, and he is brave with a hundred enemies. A slender man with waist-length hair and...

"It's you!" Zhong Yan's eyes suddenly became solemn, he thought that this adult was going to ask for a close, but he never expected that it would be that person, who was young and had unfathomable strength, and casually summoned a giant beast with the power to open the heavens and the earth, and destroyed the entire plan with his own strength.

"Yes, it was me, you couldn't see me clearly that night, and I couldn't see you clearly among the many soldiers, but isn't this reminder a little impressive!" Shi Jingtian didn't want to hide anything, and he might be able to know more if he was honest.

"My lord, it was indeed me who led the heavy shield soldiers to attack Yixiongzhuang that night, but it was the master who ordered me to go and exterminate it, and the reason for this is not clear. The villain is also suspended and waiting for punishment, please forgive me if I offend the adult!" Zhong Yan stood up and said with his fists clenched in apology.

"Instructor Zhong, sit! I didn't say it, this time I didn't come for those things!" Shi Jingtian raised his hand and motioned for Zhong Yan to sit down.

"What's the matter?"

"It's just curious, curious that Instructor Zhong has such an ability to train troops that are even stronger than the Red Army, why do you still deign to the City Lord's Mansion and just be an instructor?"

Zhong Yan didn't sit down, his eyes fixed on the ordinary and ordinary Shi Jingtian, and asked rhetorically, "My lord, I'm also curious! I wonder if my lord has such an amazing strength at a young age, even if he counts the hidden and little-known masters, he can be ranked in the top ten, but why have I never heard of you." ”

It wasn't until Shi Jingtian read the sword immortal's will by chance, and later met Wang Po in bloody clothes, that he believed that there was really a hermit master unknown to the world, and his strength was far superior to that of well-known masters such as Li Siguang Tianci. So how can this Zhong Yan know? It must not be an ordinary man, Shi Jingtian is becoming more and more interested in him.

"Well, let's not mention that for now. I wonder if Instructor Zhong can tell me why this indestructible heavy shield army was formed, and it was trained?"

Zhong Yan raised an eyebrow and sat down on the chair very calmly, "My lord, where do you start with the invincible heavy shield soldiers? I took the trouble to choose and train, and I thought that the shield array that was both offensive and defensive, wasn't it also the giant beast that you easily summoned to disintegrate in an instant! I believe that even the beast walker Sixi may not have such skills! So where did the adults cultivate?"

It is not surprising to know the existence of the hidden world master and understand the four joys of the beast walker, in the face of Zhong Yan's rhetorical question, Shi Jingtian just smiled, "Hehe, then Instructor Zhong means that he is unwilling to tell him?"

"A lot of people are doing a lot of things, and rightly or wrongly, everybody has a reason to do it. If you can tell me your true identity, then I will tell you too!"

One by one, Zhong Yan's words turned retreat into advance, leaving Shi Jingtian speechless. I have long said that it is just a casual chat, and it should be based on the principle of equality, can it still be used to threaten personal privacy?

"Since Instructor Zhong always talks to me in a fair way, can the two of us be truly fair once, at least I don't have a veil on my face!" Shi Jingtian has been wearing an ultra-thin mask, and I believe Zhong Yan can't see it.

"My lord, it's not that I don't want to see people with my true face, but I'm afraid of scaring adults, I'm masked whenever and wherever I am, and I don't mean to target adults!" Zhong Yan's words were unusually sincere, maybe he really didn't regard Shi Jingtian as an envoy of the imperial city, but as a young master who was deeply hidden and regarded money and fame as dung.

"Today is the second time we have met, and it is fate to be able to sit here calmly and chat for a while. In the future, I don't know whether I am friend or foe when I say goodbye, and if someone dies or is injured, I can remember what my opponent looks like. “

Indeed, Zhong Yan knew very well in his heart that no matter how scheming the city lord Liu Zhang was, he could only save it for a while. Although the iron monkey and Zhu Jiangping are dead, they will inevitably reveal something before they die, and they can't have it in their hearts. This also means that when you see this person in the future, you will definitely be friend or foe!

Such a young and introverted peerless master, even the enemy has a corresponding respect. Zhong Yan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and slowly lifted the black veil on his face.

"How can this be?" Shi Jingtian suddenly stood up, taken aback.
