Linjing City is very large, it is the top two big cities on the Yunran Continent, after the explosion of the most central palace, the entire center of Linjing City has been destroyed, but the outer city walls are still relatively intact, but there are some cracks in some places.

Bright torches were lit on the city walls, and powerful breaths emerged from the city walls.

The entire Linjing City was in a panic, and the people ran frantically towards the outside of the city in the night sky, the city was in a mess, and the whole city was like hell.

At this time, the Jingshi Forbidden Army was the most calm person. This is not only because they all have a certain level of cultivation, but also because of their duties.

Whether it was during the reign of the first emperor or under the current control of Zhang Jingyao, the soldiers of the Kaiping Empire are very famous in the Yunran Continent, they are highly disciplined, loyal to the monarch and love the people.

General Li, dressed in silver armor, stood on the city wall and looked towards the center of Linjing City, he was now a cultivator of the Yuan Shen Realm, the leader of the Jingshi Forbidden Army, he could sense the intensity of the previous battle, which was far beyond his ability.

The entire palace has been leveled, is His Majesty no longer there?

There were two lieutenants standing beside General Li, one on the left and one on the right, this time the explosion was too violent, and the casualties were still unknown, and the fate of the 50,000 Beijing Division Forbidden Army was in the hands of the three of them.

A man in a green shirt from the Yin and Yang Realm flew to the city wall and landed in front of General Li.

"General, the palace has been destroyed, and no living people have been found, but the princess's mansion has activated the protective formation and is intact. ”

The two lieutenants behind General Li glanced at each other and did not speak, and General Li pondered for a moment and ordered the sergeant under the city wall.

"Immediately open the gates of the city, and send three thousand soldiers to guide these people out of the city for refuge, while the rest of the people will stick to their posts, and if they disagree, they will not be spared. ”

The city gate rumbled open, and the flow of people blocking the city gate like a tide rushed towards the outside of the city.

It was destined to be a sleepless night.

Dense and hurried footsteps sounded, and a group of black shadows flew down from the sky and landed on the city wall, and the soldiers on the city wall were all startled, and countless crossbows were all aimed at these people.

Zhou Lei is the son of Zhou Zaiqi, the former Jingyuan general of Kaiping, more than ten years ago Zhang Jingyao rebelled and seized power, Zhou Zaiqi was killed that night, Zhou Lei was secretly sent out of Linjing, and went to the Tianyuan Empire under the arrangement of Zhou Zaiqi's old subordinates, where he practiced and participated in the rookie war, became a disciple of Xianfu, and now he is a cultivator of the True Realm.

Although the cultivation of the True Realm is not first-class in the Immortal Mansion, it is an extremely difficult combat power to shake for the secular world.

Zhou Lei and his entourage of five people flew directly onto the city wall, and the sergeants on the city wall lined up with guns, completing the encirclement of the five of them in the shortest possible time.

General Li held an iron spear in his hand, stood in front of Zhou Lei and the others, looked at them with a cold expression, and then raised his right hand. With his action, the crossbows around those sergeants were all full, and the sharp arrows were aimed at Zhou Lei and the five people from all sides.

These crossbows have been specially modified, with a formation placement on the launcher, and the tips of the crossbows glow with a dark and terrifying edge. Within a hundred zhang distance, more than ten arrows could shoot a Soul Condensing Realm cultivator alive.

"General Li should know that these crossbows of yours can't stop us. Zhou thundered like a bell, as long as he wanted to, he could knock down all the people around him and even the three people, including General Li, from the city wall with one palm.

General Li's face was tense, he naturally knew that the cultivation of this young man in front of him was extremely high, but as a soldier, as the leader of the Kyoto Forbidden Army, even in the face of death, he had no reason to retreat.

"What do you want to do? Are you planning to rebel?" General Li was not afraid, and his words were full of strength.

"General Li, Zhang Jingyao's anger is exhausted, why are you so persistent. Zhou Lei's side General Zhang sighed, before the emperor was alive, he and General Li were both generals in the same dynasty, and later he followed Wei Guogong, and was raided in Zhang Jingyao's rebellion, although he was rescued, he could only live a dodging life in the underground of the capital, and now there are few people in the court who know him.

General Li's eyes narrowed slightly, recognizing General Zhang, but he said everything, pretending not to know.

At this moment, a sudden thunderclap sounded in the sky, breaking the calm here, and a black eagle streaked across the sky, and then turned around and flew back the way it came.

In the midst of the thunder, there seemed to be thousands of hooves rumbling in the distance, as well as countless metal crashes.

Bai Hou Ye led the elite troops to rush to the aid of the Beijing Division, which was the most elite troops of the 50,000 Empire, as the most powerful person in the imperial military except for Zhang Jingyao, Bai Hou immediately led his troops to the Beijing Division after receiving the news.

But when they got here, the army was in a commotion, and then it became quiet. It seemed a little strange that tens of thousands of iron horsemen stopped moving forward like this.

At the forefront of these iron horses stood a figure, this figure was lying on his back, and the clothes on his body were extremely tattered, looking like an old man scavenging waste, but his aura was extremely powerful, like a torrent of energy, even the momentum of these tens of thousands of elite soldiers could not break through it.

The cavalry commander at the front of the team waved his hand to suppress the team, he was a cultivator of the Yin and Yang Realm, facing the unfathomable old man in front of him, let alone continuing to march, it was already commendable that he could maintain his current appearance and not turn around and escape.

The old man slowly raised his head, looked at the cavalry commander in front of him, and said in a somewhat dry voice: "Where is your Baihou, let him come out to see me." ”

The cavalry in front parted like a tide, and Bai Hou Ye rode a handsome jujube red war horse and drove out from the rear.

When he saw the old man in front of the army, Bai Hou Ye was slightly startled, then lowered his head and was silent for a long time.

Afterwards, Bai Hou still had to turn over from the horse, looked at the old man in front of him, and said in a stiff tone: "I have the armor on my body, so I can't salute the master." ”

"You and I don't have to worry about all this red tape. The old man was not angry because of Bai Hou's attitude, but waved his hand lightly and said: "The duty of a soldier is to guard the border pass, no matter how changes occur here, just remember your duty, take your soldiers, go back quickly." ”

Let's go back.

It seems a bit child's errand to make tens of thousands of elite riders turn around and go back with just a few words.

Bai Hou was silent, and the whole army held their breath, looking at the old man who was like a mountain, all quietly waiting for his order.

General Lee, who was on the city wall, heard the rumbling of troops in the distance, and his tense face relaxed a little, but then the army seemed to stop, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

The five people on the other side had been standing there without moving, they seemed to have expected this scene, and just waited quietly, waiting for him to make a choice.

"In the past ten years, the Kaiping Empire has developed better than before, and it already has a national strength that is enough to rival Tian Yuan, could it be that when the first emperor was alive, it reached this level?" General Li looked at the five people opposite him and asked.

The meaning contained in his words is very clear, and originally for the general, the country is more important than the family, whoever is the emperor they have to guard one side, although Zhang Jingyao ascended to the throne by a bloody coup more than ten years ago, but in the past ten years, the governance of the country is also in order.

As for the former emperor of the He family, the historical evaluation of his governance is nothing more than tepid.

Zhou Lei didn't respond to anything, he only knew cultivation, not politics, and General Zhang on the side walked up to General Li, looked at him and said calmly: "But Zhang Jingyao has killed too many people, and some grudges will not stop, this is not a national feud, but a personal vendetta." ”

"Are you going to go to war for your so-called personal vendetta and sacrifice the lives of countless people!" Listening to General Zhang's words, General Li's eyes narrowed even more, and the palm of his hand holding the iron spear tightened.

He is in his prime, and he is a person with great potential in the imperial military, and the general Zhang in front of him is fine, but the remaining few people are like cultivators from the Immortal Mansion, and his cultivation in the Yuan Shen Realm is not worth mentioning in front of them.

On the Yunran Continent, the feud between the Xun family and Zhang Jingyao is not a secret, but no matter what the grudge is, if Zhang Jingyao is really killed, then the Kaiping Empire will definitely fall into chaos, which General Li does not want to see, just like tonight, this storm has already made more than 100,000 people in Lin Jingcheng homeless.

The most important thing is that in the past ten years, he has felt that if he really wants to choose one between the former emperor of the He family and Zhang Jingyao to be the Kaiping Emperor, it seems that the latter is more suitable.

He is more enterprising, relatively moderate to the people, and has formulated a series of tough development policies, which are completely the characteristics of a generation of heroes.

"Your Majesty is more suitable for this country than the former Emperor. ”

General Zhang shook his head and said, "But he will die eventually." ”

"But we still have Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

A touch of sentimentality appeared on General Zhang's face, he looked at General Li, sighed helplessly, and said: "She is very pitiful, not only does she have to bear the love and enmity of the two families, but even your will must be imposed on her? And do you think she will accept your request and be the master of this country." ”

Regarding General Zhang's words, General Li was speechless.

Her Royal Highness the Princess is the pride of the empire, if the people and soldiers are afraid of Zhang Jingyao, then it is respect for Her Royal Highness the Princess.

From the immortal mansion to the secular world, the name of the Holy Maiden of the Night is loud enough, and her beauty and affection have been passed on by word of mouth, especially in the territory of Kaiping, and she enjoys a high reputation.

"Some things are difficult to reverse, it is better to go with the flow, as a soldier, if you can't change the current situation, why can't you accept it, so as to better protect the people of this country. ”

General Li raised his head, his resolute face was confused and tangled, and his right hand was held so stiffly all the time.

There was a dead silence on the city wall, and the two sides confronted each other like this, and the surrounding sergeants did not dare to breathe, let alone pull the crossbow, and everyone looked at General Li's raised right hand.

These sergeants knew in what way General Li's right hand was waved down, which represented two completely different wills of the Beijing Forbidden Army.

Their general didn't make them wait too long, the arm slowly lowered, and General Li sighed, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
