Yue Lu stood aside and watched, very quietly, and did not lean over to read what was written in the letter, seeing that his father's face suddenly changed, he immediately understood the seriousness of the matter, only when talking about business, Yue Zhan would call his full name.

"Yes, General!" Yue Lu replied respectfully, without the slightest delay, and strode away directly.

Yue Zhan looked at his departing back, rubbed the letter paper in his hand, and suddenly the letter paper was shattered, and the debris fell down, like a little starlight under the moonlight.

"The storm is coming. A low sigh rang out softly under the silent night sky.

Soon after, the tranquility of the city lord's mansion was broken, and from time to time tall soldiers came and went, and the pace of soldiers' patrols became much faster, adding a bit of tension to the atmosphere out of thin air, making some people who were awakened by the movement confused, and they opened their doors and windows to look outside.

Iron Blood City has been quiet for a long time, but now there is a sudden commotion, and some people whose minds are spinning fast have realized something, and they suddenly become nervous, and they can no longer sleep peacefully.

At this time, the lights in the city lord's mansion and the council hall were bright, Yue Zhan was sitting on the main seat with a serious face, and below him were all his capable officers, all of whom were rare masters, and Yue Lu was also among them.

"I believe you all know about the situation, then I will say it bluntly, the imperial court has just issued an order, all border gates to strengthen vigilance, reorganize the army, and be ready to meet the enemy at any time, what does this mean, I believe I don't need to say more. Yue Zhan got straight to the point and said directly.

"General, the Eight Lambs of the Blood Moon want to stab the moths again?" said a senior general in a deep voice, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, and he wanted to kill them now.

"Does the general have a plan?" a more delicate-looking general was not as impulsive as him, and asked after thinking about it.

"Hmm. Yue Zhan groaned: "Since the imperial court has given us such an order, presumably the attack of the Blood Moon has already shown signs, it is estimated that in just a few days, and unlike before, it may be another large-scale attack, and it will be a little difficult for us to resist it alone." ”

"What's the difficulty, as long as they dare to come, my old cow will kill them without leaving a piece of armor!" said a burly general with a big beard, as strong as a mountain.

"Niu Ba, you are powerful, the general summoned everyone so solemnly, how can things be so simple, we are afraid that we are really going to face a big enemy this time. The dashing general rolled his eyes at him.

Niu Ba was not convinced, and said loudly: "Then my old cow is not afraid of them, as long as they dare to come, I will dare to kill!"

"Niu Ba is right, there is nothing to be afraid of, even if it is a heavenly soldier general, we can take off their heads. The general who spoke at the beginning chimed in.

"Yes, yes. The rest of the people also echoed and said, they were all soldiers of the Yue family's army, and there was no enemy that could make them afraid.

"Niu Ba, Fu Qing, you think simply, it's a good thing not to be afraid, but have you thought about it, if the blood moon dispatches a large number of masters, we are not only burdened with ourselves, but also the people of the city, as well as the honor and disgrace of the imperial court, have you forgotten the battle ten years ago, take it lightly, this is a taboo for soldiers, we must not let the Iron Blood City disgrace the imperial court. Yue Zhan waited for them to calm down before he said slowly.

"General......" Niu Ba and the others listened and immediately lowered their heads, they knew that they were reckless.

"Then according to the general's opinion, what should we do?" General Xiuqi asked more steadily and to Yue Zhan.

"Well, pay close attention to the movements on the side of the Blood Moon, send scouts, advance the exploration range fifty miles, and put the whole city on alert, strengthen the training of soldiers, and have people contact the neighboring cities to remind them to pay attention and reinforce us, and finally, let the people in the city move immediately and leave Iron Blood City. Yue Zhan gave one order after another in an orderly manner, especially emphasizing the last one.

"General, is this inappropriate, wouldn't it weaken the morale of the army to move the people before the war started, and this is too much of a fuss, even if this blood moon is fully prepared, we can fight, there is no need to move the people. The delicate general frowned slightly, disagreeing with his practice of relocating the people.

"That is, isn't the general telling his brothers that he can't defeat the enemy? Niu Ba disagreed, and the rest of the generals did not agree either.

"I'm all done, let me ask you, what are we leading our troops to fight for?" Yue Zhan's face swept across everyone with a serious face, full of majesty.

"In order for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, the land will not be violated, we are guarding this iron-blooded city, we must be responsible for the people in the city, the Blood Moon Dynasty is menacing, once the war starts, the odds of victory are unpredictable, if we continue to keep the people here, it will only put them in danger, in case we lose, what will they do?"

Yue Zhan didn't wait for everyone to answer, so he said slowly: "We can die, the horse leather shroud is our destination as soldiers, and it is our glory to die on the battlefield, from the moment we put on this armor, we are destined to only step on the corpse of the enemy, but they can't die, they are the goal of our protection, for them, we can fight bloodily, we can ignore life and death, only when they are safe, we can fight wholeheartedly, without scruples." ”

The soldiers couldn't help but be in awe when they heard this, this is their general, all he thinks about is the country, the people, and he has never had the slightest selfishness, for this, he can throw his head and spill his blood, although he dies, it is not a pity.

It is precisely because of his spirit that these people are willing to go with him to the soup and fire, and they will not hesitate to do so.

"General, we understand, we will immediately inform the people to move out of Iron Blood City. Yue Lu spoke first, and Niu Ba and the others all nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, everyone discussed the details of the operation, and an instant meeting ended, and the generals implemented them one by one according to Yue Zhan's instructions.

Then there was a burst of sound in Iron Blood City, and the lights gradually lit up the night sky.

This night, it is destined that Iron Blood City will not be able to calm down.

......

City of Chaos, Doge's Palace.

In a side room, Yang Yan sat quietly on the bed and meditated and cultivated, a faint golden light shrouded him, and the heaven and earth vitality around him was attracted, and he was uncertain.

Since he came back from the Bliss Building, Yang Yan has not gone out, and has been staying in the room to cultivate, firstly, he has just broken through the realm and needs to be stable, and secondly, he has also adjusted his state to maintain himself at the peak state in order to cope with the upcoming trial.

Yang Yan, who was immersed in cultivation, didn't seem to know the passage of time, but the atmosphere in the chaotic city was slightly warmer, and many people were talking about the same topic.

"Tuk tuk. There was a knock on the door, and then a sweet voice came in from outside the door: "Your Highness the Seventh, when the time is up, the Governor has asked the slave maid to invite you." ”

Yang Yan's eyes opened slightly, and a sharp light flashed, is it finally here?

"Got it. Yang Yan said lightly, the light dissipated, and he slowly stood up and walked out the door.

"Squeak. The door opened, a delicate figure was waiting respectfully, seeing the radiant Yang Yan come out at this moment, his heart suddenly jumped slightly, and unconsciously, a faint flush appeared on his face.

"Let's go. Yang Yan didn't notice it, but said lightly.

Only then did the maid react, secretly hating herself for not being angry, but she said, "Your Highness, please come here." ”

When they walked to the lobby, King Jing and the others were already there, and Qin Yu and the three of them were also waiting on the side, and when they saw Yang Yan coming out, they simply said hello.

"Huh, seventh brother, have you broken through to the second level of qi refining?" At this time, the sixth prince suddenly looked at Yang Yan in surprise and said.

After returning from the Bliss Building, they hadn't met Yang Yan before, but they never thought that after two days of not seeing each other, Yang Yan would break through again, how could this not surprise him.

When the six princes said this, the others noticed Yang Yan's cultivation, and their moods were immediately different.

Although King Jing returned to the house with Yang Yan, he did not pay attention to this aspect at that time, nor did he notice the growth of his cultivation, at this moment, when he heard this, his eyes swept over him, and he suddenly smiled slightly, and said: "I have long heard that the emperor's brothers and heirs have different reactions, and now it seems that what I said is true, and I am expected to prosper in Tianyang." ”

"Fluke. Yang Yan said lightly, if it weren't for the chance of that day, he would have entered an epiphany, and it would probably take a while to break through.

"It's good for Lao Qi to break through, so that our strength will be stronger. The fourth prince smiled at him and said gently.

"What I said is that this time your father and the emperor have finally obtained these places, you have to be more competitive, otherwise this king will be the first to give you good fruits to eat. King Jing smiled, with a hint of expectation in his heart, maybe this time they could gain something.

"Haha, Uncle Huang, you definitely don't have this opportunity. The six princes laughed, and the rest of them were also full of confidence.

"Get out. Yang Yan said lightly, what is the so-called place of trial, this time it will be revealed.

"Good. King Jing smiled, didn't say much, and led everyone out of the Governor's Palace, walking in one direction, but the speed was extremely fast, Yang Yan and the others could barely keep up with all their strength, obviously on purpose.

A group of little rabbit cubs, I really think that the place of trials is so easy to mix, and you won't know until you enter it, that place is extremely not simple, otherwise it wouldn't have been so important to so many forces.

......

A continuous cliff, the cliff wall has no grass, smooth and flat, as if it was cut down by a giant sword, flattened, it is really a ghostly workmanship.

At this time, many figures had gathered in front of the cliff, and the black pressure was large, but it was divided into different camps, and there were many people in each camp, including the strong people who are rarely seen.

"The people from the Doge's Palace have arrived. Someone in the crowd looked into the distance and saw several figures flashing towards him, and said.

When the words fell, more sharp eyes suddenly looked in that direction, and sure enough, they saw King Jing and Yang Yan and they were approaching here quickly, and soon came to a place not far from them.

The eyes of Yang Yan and the others immediately fell on the stone wall in front of them, is this the place of trial?
