"It's not too late to wake up. Prince Zhong said: "The situation is already obvious, Song Xingtian's strength has increased greatly since the help of the Ming Palace, and if the two of us do not cooperate, he is fully capable of breaking it individually." However, if the two of us cooperate sincerely, you have soldiers and horses, and I have connections and forces, I dare not say that I can defeat Song Xingtian 100%, at least the chance of winning is more than 70%. Once I have taken the world, the king promises to cede to you the three southern counties forever. Let you be the veritable Lord of the South. If you want, you can serve me as king, and if you don't want to, you can set yourself up as king. Isn't it worth gambling on such a future? You don't have to think about yourself, you have to think about your children and grandchildren, right?"

Zhan Long was silent for a long time, in fact, he was not moved by Prince Zhong's words, but the situation forced him to fall to Prince Zhong's side.

One party wants his life, the other side gives him a way to live, does he have a choice?

"I admit, you convinced me. Zhan Long's eyes burst into light, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I have never been a foolish and loyal person, since Song Xingtian is unkind to me, don't blame me for being unjust to him." Tell me what you're going to do. You'll have to tell me your plan so I can do it. ”

Prince Zhong was not surprised at all by the war dragon's reaction, thinking that Song Xingtian, an old fox, still had a stupid trick in the end. Because he was too worried about the powerful military power of the war dragon, he was anxious to control him. This king still has to thank you, if you weren't so persecuted, the war dragon might not be willing to cooperate with me.

"Well, in fact, all the plans have already been launched, just waiting for you to join. Prince Zhong's face exuded the unique yin owl of a conspirator, and he said in a deep voice: "The time of the launch is on the day of the birthday banquet of the Holy Empress Dowager, I will use all my forces to complete the battle, and if it is not successful, it will be benevolent." I'm sure Song Xingtian will be shocked by this old thing, because he still doesn't know how many hole cards I have, and this king can't wait to see his expression at that time. And you, you just need to ...... like this" Prince Zhong approached the war dragon, told the war dragon about the detailed plan, and then told him how to cooperate. The more Zhan Long listened, the more frightened he became, and finally slapped the table and said, "No matter how you look at it, Song Xingtian has no possibility of reversing the situation in the slightest. ”

The day before the birthday of the Holy Queen Mother, several bustling streets in the Holy Lion City were crowded with people, and countless shops opened their doors to do business. Merchants from the south to the north have put out the most bizarre things brought from all over the mainland. This year is the 60th birthday of the Holy Empress Dowager, which is the most important birthday in a person's life.

It is said that at that time, there will be a military parade of the city guards and the royal city guards, as well as a grand civic procession. Especially this year, I heard that a few days ago, the court fortune teller watched the sky at night, and then reported to the Holy Emperor that there was an ominous broom star.

The Holy Emperor was furious and slashed the hapless fortune teller with a single sword. For the sake of this unhappy matter, the Holy Emperor specially ordered that the birthday banquet of the Holy Empress Dowager be organized as a celebration no less than the National Day, trying to use this celebration and celebration to sweep away the haze brought by the broom star.

With such a lively event, tourists from all over the world flocked to the imperial capital. For a time, the bustling imperial capital was overcrowded, and all the hotels were full. Especially close to the hotels around the central square of the imperial capital. The price is ten times higher than usual, and the demand for rooms is in short supply. It is said that His Majesty the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen Mother will come to the square to rejoice with all the people and watch the wonderful performances together.

What's more, His Majesty the Holy Emperor has given a special order that on the day of the Queen Mother's birthday celebration, the magic circle to protect the imperial city will be opened. The Founding Holy Emperor left behind the Giant Circle was dedicated to protecting the royal family. It can only be opened unless it is in the case of a rebellion and someone threatens the safety of the palace.

Of course, if His Majesty the Holy Emperor felt that it was really necessary, he could also order the opening of this magic circle. For example, the previous Holy Emperor had ordered the opening of this magic circle twenty years ago, and that was because the Emperor ** team at that time won the war against the alien races in the northern grasslands, ending the ten-year war situation. In order to welcome the triumphant expeditionary army, the former Holy Emperor authorized the opening of a magic circle. Citizens who have experienced that scene deeply remember the majestic scene when the circle was opened. The brilliant mana light enveloped the entire imperial capital in it, and the sky changed into colorful colors. You can even faintly see flying birds and heavenly soldiers in golden armor in the sky.

His Majesty the current Holy Emperor is a great filial son, and the Holy Empress Dowager also contributed a lot when he ascended the throne, so it is no wonder that he ordered the opening of the Guardian Circle because of his mother's birthday celebration.

This kind of excitement may not be able to catch up once in a lifetime, and it would be a pity if you missed it.

Therefore, in this year's birthday celebration, there are several times more foreign tourists in the imperial capital than in previous years. The people of the Imperial Capital Security Department were busy. The number of soldiers on the patrols of the Department of Peace patrolling the streets on a daily basis has tripled. After there are many people, dragons and snakes are mixed, which often leads to a lot of public security incidents, fights, thefts and robberies, and emerges in endlessly. The prison in the Department of Peace is overcrowded.

The soldiers of the Department of Public Security complained one by one, and all of them canceled all their vacations, worked all day, and even slept in the barracks of the Department of Public Security. Many people, even some officers, have not been home to hug their wives for a few days.

The city guards are said to be too tired, and there are a lot of people entering and leaving the imperial capital in the past few days, and the number of city guards checking at several city gates has tripled. Moreover, the day before yesterday, in order to alleviate the pressure on the imperial capital, according to the consent of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, coupled with the order jointly issued by the Ministry of War and the Cabinet, the entry and exit of the imperial capital gates were inspected, and regulations were temporarily restricted. It's okay to go out of the city, but if you want to enter the imperial capital, you can only line up, enter with a single number, and refuse with a double number. Everyone who enters the Holy Lion City must go through a strict and meticulous registration.

At several city gates, brigades of heavily armed city guard soldiers were added. If there is a riot, it can be immediately suppressed on the spot.

Moreover, because the imperial capital was overcrowded, in order to ensure the safety of the nobles and prevent some outsiders from flowing into the aristocratic residential area to cause any security problems, the city guard specially sent an infantry regiment to guard the "rich area" leading to the area of the noble mansions near the imperial city, and even near the religious temple, it was temporarily under martial law.

After all, there are many believers on the mainland, and all believers who come to the imperial capital do not want to go to the sacred temple to see the statue of the great god and listen to the gospel of the spiritual father of the temple. In this way, in order to ensure the order of the temple, a lot of troops were also deployed to maintain order in the streets near the temple.

Only the vicinity of the Alchemist Guild was as quiet as ever. After all, alchemists are an awe-inspiring existence in people's hearts, and no one dares to run to the vicinity to disturb their normal life.

A dozen brothers who like to be lively and lead the Suzaku Hall of the Justice League ran outside for a few days, and even a wallet was stolen by a small thief during the period. When he was wandering around, he was trampled on two pairs of shoes by crowded pedestrians, and after finally reporting all the news to Song Li, the eldest young master just said lightly: "I know, the expenses of the past few days, you can withdraw the gold coins after you report the account yourself." ”

After waiting for the huge to leave, Song Li knocked on his forehead and sat quietly for a moment, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said to himself, "Hmm." The city gate sent troops, the noble mansions sent troops, and the temples were also arranged...... It looks like he's going to do a big job. ”

The Holy Lion Empire calendar 376 years, June 12, the 60th birthday of the Holy Empress Dowager.

Clear.

From a very early age, the Imperial Capital Security Department had already sent all its forces out. However, what made Xu Wanting, director of the Department of Public Security, feel strange was that early this morning, before dawn, a group of people from the city defense guards had already appeared on the road.

There are a total of 200,000 troops in the entire Holy Lion City, and these 200,000 elite soldiers are the so-called "Central Army". According to different functions, it is divided into the Imperial Capital Public Security Division, referred to as the Public Security Division, with a total of 20,000 infantry, the City Defense Guard, referred to as the City Guard, with a total of 100,000 people, 30,000 cavalry, and 70,000 infantry, and the Royal City Guard, referred to as the Guard, with a total of 50,000 people, 20,000 cavalry, and 30,000 infantry, and the Imperial City Janissaline, referred to as the Praetorian Guard, with a total of 30,000 people.

The Imperial Capital Security Division is mainly responsible for the security incidents in the Holy Lion City, and if Song Li understands it, its functions are equivalent to the police force in his previous life. The city defense guards are led by Song Xingguang, the king of Jing, and are mainly responsible for the outer defense of the imperial capital, which is the most critical and first barrier of the Holy Lion City.

From the outside to the inside, there are three areas in the Holy Lion City, which are the Outer City, the Inner City, and the Imperial City. The outer city is the settlement and commercial area of the common people, and the inner city is commonly known as the royal city, because it is inhabited by princes and ministers and nobles with prominent families. (http：/／.）。 And the imperial city refers specifically to the imperial palace, which is the place where the holy emperor and his family live and work.

The so-called Wangcheng Guards are mainly responsible for the defense of the inner city, that is, once an enemy army enters the imperial capital and breaks through the defense line of the city defense guards, the Wangcheng Guards will protect the safety of the inner city. Compared with the city defense guards, although the number of the Wangcheng guards is less than half, their combat power is not inferior, and they belong to the elite troops of the imperial capital.

The Wangcheng Guards were under the control of Duke Levi, and the Li family was also a martial arts family that followed the Holy Ancestor to fight the world in the past.

The Imperial City Praetorian Guard, that is, the Golden Feather Knights, needless to say, everyone is the best selected from the armies from all over the country, the elite of the elite. The 30,000 Golden Feather Iron Cavalry is the ultimate defense force to defend the imperial power.

The reason why Xu Wanting felt strange was because he had not heard the relevant order from the Ministry of War, saying that there were people from the city defense guards to help protect this area.
