As soon as Li Chuan came out of the tent, a crisp voice said, "Hey, little cripple, come here!"

Li Yan saw that it was Princess Yinling. He didn't like the woman, and he didn't like being called a cripple, so he just pretended not to hear it, turned around and left.

Princess Silver Bell was angry and shouted, "What about you, didn't you hear?"

Li Yan said coldly: "I heard it, but I just don't want to pay attention to you." ”

The princess smiled contemptuously, walked over and said, "I know that your sword skills are very good, and my father appreciates them. But don't be too angry, we haven't finished the fight, and we haven't decided the winner yet!"

"Even if you win. ”

Li Yan said that he would turn around and leave.

"Hey, you wait......" Princess Silver Bell grabbed him by the sleeve. "What did my father say to you?"

"I didn't say anything, you can ask him to go yourself. Li Yan said that, and left without looking back.

The princess pouted and said, "Yijie Wufu, what's so good about it! Don't you say that I can't find out?"

At this time, two pro-soldiers came over and beat Qian'er and said, "Princess, please go back, the princess is still waiting for you!"

The Palace of Blessings is located on one of the highest peaks in the city. According to Buddhist scriptures, this is the closest place to the blue sky.

This palace was built more than 1,300 years ago and is the tallest architectural masterpiece of the Fanbang people. But seeing the red walls and green tiles, the dougong cornices, its delicacy is not inferior to the palace room of the Central Plains.

In front of the palace is a clear spring with a radius of ten zhang wide. This spring water has no roots and no source, but it can remain unfrozen in the snow-capped mountains and does not rot for thousands of years, and is regarded as a sacred spring by the herdsmen.

In the middle of the spring stands a long-dead tree, under which the Buddha is said to have preached the Dharma and enlightened sentient beings. And among those people are the ancestors of the White Tiger Fan.

The Blessing Palace is located at the highest point of the city, in addition to being close to the gods, and more importantly, it is convenient to overlook the enemy situation from a high vantage point. The soldiers of the forbidden army standing day and night at the head of the city are all one in a hundred, and they are willing to die for the people in the palace walls without hesitation.

The power structure of the White Tiger is quite peculiar. The herdsmen believe that the soul is immortal and eternal reincarnation, so whenever the suzerain passes away, the baby born at the same time as the envoy takes over.

But the land is vast, which baby should be chosen to take over? This involves a complex balance of power, and it is not to be said to outsiders.

The Twelve Elders are the twelve ministers of the auxiliary government, and each of them is high and powerful. The scope of power includes almost all the daily affairs of the White Tiger Fan. Unlike the suzerain, the Twelve Elders are hereditary, and although they are not self-exclusive, they are more similar to the emperors of the Central Plains to some extent. They are passed from father to son, from son to grandson, and they will last forever and endlessly.

Prince Zag's so-called mutiny was not to get rid of the suzerain, but similar to the common Qing monarch and Qin Wang in the Central Plains. In addition to forcing the suzerain to submit, he also had to limit the power of the twelve elders so that he could monopolize the power.

A procession marched along the mountain path leading to the Blessed Palace, each of them wearing large armor, carrying bows and arrows at their waists, hiding short knives that were convenient for hand-to-hand combat, and carrying large shields on their backs.

The first big man was more than a foot tall, and he was wearing heavy one-piece nail plate armor. But even so, he strode and walked with a tiger, without the slightest tiredness.

Prince Zag walked in the center of the procession, flanked by his advisor Huo Jun and Li Yan, who had high hopes.

As soon as he arrived at the bottom of the palace, the leader of the forbidden army defending the city shouted: "Stop!"

Niu La stopped the team: "We are the personal soldiers under the command of Prince Zag, escorting His Highness into the palace for deliberations!"

The leader was puzzled: "I have never heard of a prince who wants so many people to escort him." Besides, this is the Blessed Palace, and you have forgotten the rules that you are not allowed to bring knives inside?"

But Niu La replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The military order is so dare not disobey. There is an edict issued by the suzerain. ”

The leader of the forbidden army took the edict, looked at it carefully, and returned it to Niu La.

"It's true, but you still can't get through this palace gate. ”

"Oh, why is that?"

The leader lowered his voice and said, "You see, who is the biggest in this blessed palace?"

"Of course it's the Sect Master!"

The leader shook his head with a smile: "Wrong, it's the Twelve Elders." It's useless for you to just take the sect master's excerpts, you have to have their instructions. ”

Niu La said: "In this case, please brother, you will make a message on your behalf, brother, and I will wait here." ”

The leader nodded and waved his hand towards the city: "Pass." ”

The two soldiers in the city said, "Order!" but half a day passed, but they did not move.

The leader glared and said, "What's the matter? What are you rubbing?"

Before the words fell, he saw the two of them fall straight from the city. The leader was stunned for a moment and shouted loudly: "Lock!"

Before the words fell, Niu La raised his hand and killed him on the spot with a hammer.

However, his order was received anyway, and the palace door closed as fast as he could. The bows and arrows at the head of the city shot down like arrows. The adjutant had already taken the place of the chief, shouting: "Daur and Jietu are traitors, take it for me!"

The forbidden army slashed their swords and killed the two inner linemen, who also threw them off the city wall.

Seeing this scene, Li Yan couldn't help but be furious: "Didn't you say that you wouldn't kill anyone?"

Huo Jun said: "The military situation is urgent and difficult to control. For now, only by quickly capturing the inner city and controlling the sect master can the casualties be minimized!"

At this time, the soldiers raised their shields and built a passage to the city gate for Niu La. Niu La rushed to the door in three or two steps, picked up a sledgehammer, and slammed it on the door.

I only heard a muffled sound, and the wall tiles trembled. But the door only shook twice, but it had no intention of opening it at all.

Prince Zag drew his sword and ordered: "Warriors, even if you die, smash this door open for me!"

As soon as the pro-soldiers swarmed up, they hit it with their shoulders, but with their strength, how could they shake half a point?

Li Remnant gritted his teeth and shouted to the sergeants: "Send me up!"

Everyone didn't know what he meant, but Huo Jun understood, and ordered: "Change the formation!"

The soldiers raised the iron shield above their heads, and Li Yanfei stepped on the shield. Everyone raised their shields, and Li Yan jumped with a single knife into the city wall, and then borrowed another force, and the two verticals turned over the wall.

He shouted, "Death to those who stand in my way!"

But when the forbidden army saw that he was just a disabled person, how could they obey it? Li Remnant gritted his teeth and unsheathed his sword, and slashed straight at the Sect Master Daxu Banner embroidered with red Gesang flowers.

The flag collapsed, and Huo Jun took advantage of the chaos to shout: "The forbidden army is defeated, the forbidden army is defeated!"

The forbidden army defending the city was really fluctuating, and Prince Zag placed other internal responses in it, taking advantage of the chaos to open the palace gate, and his own soldiers rushed in.

Niu La's fierce and vicious roar: "Those who descend are not guilty, and those who fight are killed immediately!"

When everyone saw that his face was covered with blood and his face was extremely hideous, no one dared to act rashly. Some people even thought: Although we are waiting for the Praetorian Guard, we have been exploited by the peak. It is uncertain who will be in power in the future, so why should we risk this death? So none of these elite Praetorian guards resisted.

Huo Jun counted the number of people, and only seventeen people died, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The prince asked, "Mr. Huo, did you say that the palace has got the news now?"

Huo Jun said: "The beacon tower will be lit in the future, and the herald soldiers will not escape. They shouldn't know. But it doesn't matter if the palace knows it or not, we just need to be faster than the news!"

They immediately surrendered their talismans and went straight to the inner city without stopping.
