Chapter 181: Capture the thief and capture the king first
Imperial City, Main Gate.
The city wall was brightly illuminated by a soul guide lamp, the air was full of detection soul guides and defensive soul guides, and the forbidden army guarding under the city wall was heavily guarded, almost reaching the level of three steps and one post and ten steps and one person.
Xia Huaimin, the commander of the forbidden army in armor and sword, stood at the head of the city and watched the scene of the chaotic battle in the imperial city.
The sword was unsheathed, and he never left the hilt of the sword.
He remembered what the emperor had said to him, blockade the imperial city, don't do anything, just watch.
Is this a fear that he will make a move?
Xia Huaimin was noncommittal, but since the emperor had spoken, he just had to abide by it.
He felt that the palace should consider his safety more than himself.
If a gentleman does not stand under the wall, maybe the emperor is not a gentleman, but a wolf, but this evil wolf is already dying, so old that even his teeth are about to fall out.
But the wolves must be led by a powerful wolf king after all, just like a country cannot be without a king for a day.
"Report, general, someone below said that it was the people of the four princes who wanted to enter the imperial city." A guard guarding the door came up from below and said respectfully.
Xia Huaimin's eyes moved slightly, and he saw a fiery red girl outside the city wall, and she was still carrying an unconscious gray-clothed old man in her hand.
It was Ma Xiaotao who came back with the Nangong bowl.
Xia Huaimin said lightly: "Let her come up." ”
"Yes."
The guards went down the stone stairs, and in a few moments they saw the three of them coming up together.
"My lord, I am a member of the four princes, and I have a jade plate as proof, can you let me into the palace?"
Ma Xiaotao was holding the Nangong bowl in his left hand, and his right hand was raised, holding Xu Lanqing's white jade token in his hand.
Xia Huaimin kept looking at Xiaobai and Zheng Zhan, who were two against five in the middle of the air in the distance, and Ma Xiaotao didn't look away when he came up.
He said: "I know, I have been staying here, you and the Ice Emperor Crown met before when they left the palace, if you can forget this time, I don't have to be the commander of this forbidden army." ”
"And what are you?" Ma Xiaotao asked puzzled.
Xia Huaimin did not answer.
Ma Xiaotao, who didn't get a reply, glanced at the heavily guarded city tower, frowned slightly, and she followed Xia Huaimin's line of sight again, and was surprised to find that there was a goose feather snow in the palace, and the snow was strangely only in one area.
Bad thoughts welled up in her heart.
It's not a natural phenomenon, whose snow is in June, and it's only falling in this area.
Ma Xiaotao looked down, the distance was too far away, and she couldn't see where it was.
"That's the dormitory of the Four Princes." Xia Huaimin answered her doubts.
Ma Xiaotao's face changed slightly, and the conjecture in her heart became a reality, she just went out for a while, and this kind of thing happened in the palace.
I don't know if it's too late to rush over now.
I hope Xu Lanqing won't have an accident, it's her savior, and she hasn't repaid it yet.
Xia Huaimin seemed to see through Ma Xiaotao's thoughts, and he said: "Even if you go now, it's useless, those people are the weakest are all seventh-level soul masters, you are stronger than people of the same level, but in the face of them, how many can you kill?" ”
"What do you mean by saying this to me? Want me not to go? The Four Princes are my saviors, and I can't stand by my side in any reason. ”
Ma Xiaotao stared at Xia Huaimin's resolute face, wanting to see something, but unfortunately that expressionless face had nothing but awe.
"It's not interesting."
Xia Huaimin finally turned his head and looked at Ma Xiaotao for the first time, his eyes were like an eagle, looking at the girl in front of him.
The feeling of oppression on her face made Ma Xiaotao's body tense, she felt like she was being targeted by a man-eating beast, and the thought of her escaping kept coming to her mind, but her feet were as heavy as lead and she couldn't move.
It's putting pressure on her.
The ninth-level soul master is not that kind of weak chicken, he was killed in the sea of corpses and blood.
"What are you trying to do, my lord?"
Ma Xiaotao's face was pale, she couldn't withstand the pressure anymore, even if she had unlimited potential, she was just a fledgling phoenix chick now, fighting with Title Douluo, except for death, she didn't think of any other way to retreat.
However, even so, her backbone is still straight, and she is dead horizontally and vertically, and it is better to die with dignity.
"You're good."
Xia Huaimin withdrew his breath and nodded appreciatively at Ma Xiaotao.
The body suddenly relaxed, as if it had surfaced from under the deep sea, and Ma Xiaotao was stunned.
Didn't you want to kill her?
She still thought that the other party was the person who Xu Tianran was going to shoot and kill her, but now she suddenly praised her.
Could it be Xu Lanqing's person? But if Xu Lanqing's people were to stand here in peace, watching Xu Lanqing fall into crisis?
It's almost confusing her.
"Can I go now?" Ma Xiaotao's breathing was slightly short, and she hadn't completely recovered yet.
"Hmm."
Xia Huaimin turned his head to look at the snowstorm in the distance, as if enjoying a rare beauty.
It's really good-looking.
Ma Xiaotao pursed her lips, what, it was mysterious, she thought she was going to kill someone, but nothing happened.
To scare her?
She hates the kind of person who doesn't explain and pretends to be mysterious, which is as bad as making others want to be adults and not giving them food.
If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't beat it, she would have been in the morning.
"If you really want to help your master, it's best not to go over there."
A rugged man's voice came from behind her, and Ma Xiaotao, who had already walked to the mouth of the stone ladder, stopped, She turned around, looked at Xia Huaimin, and couldn't bear it: "Is this interesting?" What the hell are you going to say, just say it all! ”
The slightly hoarse voice of the royal sister shouted out from Ma Xiaotao's mouth, and the guards standing guard around her suddenly pointed their weapons at her, and the sonorous sound of Jin Ge colliding sounded intensively.
Xia Huaimin waved his hand, and the guards withdrew their weapons, but their eyes were still vigilantly staring at Ma Xiaotao.
He looked at the angry Ma Xiaotao, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a stiff smile that could frighten children:
"Capture the thief and capture the king first, you know this truth, if you want to end all this and take down the other party's king, it will naturally be solved."
"You want me to kill Xu Tianran?"
"It's not that I want to, I'm just giving you an idea."
"What's the difference between this and sending people to death, even if Xu Tianran sends out all the people, at this time, the garrison around him will definitely increase instead of decreasing, and I can't even get close."
Ma Xiaotao said: "Besides, even if I kill him, I don't even know where he is." ”
She didn't ask why she wanted to help her, no, it was Xu Lanqing's words, looking at him like that, the other party would naturally say it if he wanted to, and it was useless to ask if he didn't want to.
"You are the Holy Daughter of the Holy Spirit Sect, he is the elder of the Holy Spirit Sect, you have cooperated with Xu Tianran, and he will meet you. You've got almost close proximity to him, and it's up to you how you do it.
His Majesty the Ice Emperor did not come back with you, and His Majesty the Snow Emperor did not know where to go, and only Zheng Zhan and the Ice Bear King were in the palace.
They could only keep the four princes, but they couldn't change the situation. ”
Xia Huaimin looked into the depths of the palace, where the lights were even more brilliant and bright: "I can only tell you that Xu Tianran is now at Your Majesty's. ”
He closed his mouth and said no more, and stood on the city wall guarding the gate to and from the imperial city, the night wind blowing the robe behind him.
Ma Xiaotao took a deep look at Xia Huaimin, carried the Nangong bowl and went down the city wall, and went deep into the palace under the leadership of the guards.
Xia Huaimin watched Ma Xiaotao's back disappear, and then turned his head to look at the Ming Capital outside the Imperial City, and the three-point white light gradually expanded and rose in the three directions of the Ming Capital.

The emperor is here, it's a joke......
