August 15, Fangyi Inn

Lord Xue didn't stay to eat, and the group ran back to Baishui City overnight.

Soon after, Captain Cheng turned back to the room. Whoever came in with him was Fangyi Lizheng An Luoyong.

As soon as the two entered the house, they gave a military salute to Jiang Jinglan, who was full of doubts.

Tao Lao hasn't left yet. He took a few steps and grabbed Li Zheng's arm, and whispered, "Lan'er, come, officially introduce once." ”

"Fangyi Lizheng, An Luoyong. ”

"An Luoyong, An, you, the Twelve Iron Guards?" Jiang Jinglan cried out in a terrified voice, "Didn't you die early?"

Li Zheng smiled indifferently: "Sort of." ”

The name of the Twelve Iron Guards is too loud.

Twenty years ago, the third prince led the Northern Expeditionary Army all the way to the old capital of the Wei Kingdom. The elite commander of the 8,000 Yulin in the army is the current marshal Bai Changqi.

Dashuai was still a young general at that time. The legendary story of him and his twelve Yulin Tiewei who killed the enemy in blood and sacrificed their lives to serve the country has been interpreted by storytellers and has long been popular in the Lan Kingdom.

Every iron guard is a loyal and brave man with high physical skills and expertise. Over the years, they even have their own independent biography. Bizarre and exciting anecdotes have been passed down from mouth to mouth, and they have cast a veil of mystery over the guards.

The mysterious Iron Guard, like Bai Changqi, the god of war in the Eastern Continent, has always been worshiped by the people of Lan Kingdom.

But these twelve heroes, except for two who have always defended the prince with the Chinese army, and one who was seriously injured and recuperated in the rear, didn't the remaining nine people all die in the final battle of Ayutthaya?

Old Steward Tao stroked his white beard and smiled slightly, obviously expecting her reaction.

Jiang Jinglan is the only daughter of the head of the family, but she has been raised as a boy since she was a child. Not to mention the guns and sticks all day long, my favorite thing is to search for stories that depict war and adventure. The heroic deeds of the Eastern Continent God of War and the Twelve Iron Guards have long been imprinted in her little head.

The eldest lady has been traveling since she was sixteen years old. said that it was a chivalrous act of righteousness, but in fact, the family knew that it was only because her admiration for the handsome man was really a little uncontrollable. Traveling is just an excuse, she always wants to find an opportunity to sneak to the Guannan camp where the marshal is stationed.

The handsome and the head of the family are brothers who kowtow.

The head of the family had no choice but to strictly order her personal entourage and firmly limit her range of activities to Quanzhou.

Tao Lao didn't know what the head of the family was planning this time, and how he would agree to let her deliver the medicine.

Fortunately, now that we have arrived in Fangyi, we don't have to worry about the safety of the young lady.

"By agreeing to let you come here, the head of the house acquiesces in letting you know about these things. Old steward Tao stabbed Jiang Jinglan, who had been standing stupidly with his mouth covered.

"This is Dashuai's territory, and it is also our transit with the Guannan camp. Over the years, the Twelve Iron Guards have been silently guarding this place and guarding the big city. ”

An Luoyong smiled bitterly and said indifferently: "The twelve iron guards are long gone. We're just a bunch of tired veterans. ”

"Didn't Dacheng have already been sealed by Dashuai with forbidden arts? Why do you want to protect it incognito?"

Jiang Jinglan's slender jade hand supported her forehead.

After the strong impact, she just reluctantly accepted the facts in front of her, and she suddenly grasped the joint of the matter.

"The big city is safe, and the eldest lady doesn't need to worry about it. ”

Captain Cheng took a step forward: "Fangyi is also very safe. You might as well spend two days here and see the scenery. I'm bored, brothers are willing to volunteer to escort you and Tao Lao back to Quanzhou, and you can chat more on the way. ”

"Don't come to this set! I must go to the big camp. By the way, what is your surname?" the eldest lady stood up, and her beautiful face suddenly approached the captain.

The lieutenant reluctantly took a few steps back: "Cheng is not worried." ”

"You're also an iron guard! You're the one who survived the final battle after healing your wounds?"

“...... Be...... It's not a lone life. ”

"I'll see! Look at your prosthetic! Is it the left leg?"

"You, you, you!

Fangyi, on the shores of Genting Lake

The lights in the big house were always on, and the little uncles gathered together and waited silently. Bai Ye also sat at the long table. Captain Bai Lingyu of the pro-military camp did not show up.

The little uncles seemed to know the young officer, but no one had ever introduced him to Bai Ye.

The man seemed to know himself, too, but he only looked at it from a distance a few times and did not speak.

Bai Ye's temperament is indifferent, and the main thing is that he is afraid of trouble. Keeping such a distance from strangers is actually the most comfortable.

At present, the big house is full of their own parents, and there are no outsiders. He was busy serving tea and pouring water, and his heart was relaxed and steady.

An Luoyong and Cheng Buxian finally rushed back from the inn at the foot of the mountain, and the big house was lively.

As soon as Cheng Xiaowei entered the room and sat down, he began to rub his hands, as if he was holding back his words, but he couldn't open his mouth. It took a long time for Zhi Wu to secretly ask Hu Zi: "The secret instrument array in front of the gate urgently needs to replenish the crystal nucleus." You have gained a lot this time, can you redeem some first?"

"What do you mean?"

"That's not it, the head only said that the inventory of the Jiang family was transferred to the past. Captain Cheng was a little reluctant, "But no matter which time you make a move, you can bring back a high-level crystal nucleus." This time, I copied the old bottom of the country, and there must be a lot of good things. ”

Hu Zi didn't answer, and An Luoyong shook his head slightly: "Then what should I do over here?" It's been depleting faster and faster recently. You have to have enough reserves to be safe. “

Suo Qi leaned over and scolded with a smile: "You just gave Boss An a bag the day before yesterday, what's the matter?

"Well, that's not what I said...... I really don't know the bottom this time. The Great Array has not been activated for all these years, many spiritual sources have been exhausted, and the defense line is full of holes. When it's time to use it, I'm afraid it won't work. “

Boss An still shook his head: "That's your camp's business, not mine." “

Bai Ye smiled and started the round: "Amber, don't worry." There's nothing wrong with my dad's side to keep it up. ”

Li Zheng glared fiercely: "Loser." I haven't bothered to settle accounts with you. You're going to sell your father?"

"I... I... The circulating pump was fixed last time I went. Lingyuan's side should be fine in the near future. “

The little uncles' eyes widened: "Fix that, that, what is that?

"Well, I've done my homework diligently, and I've already learned the seventeenth volume. “

Amber pinched Bai Ye's arm fiercely: "What about the golden silk cigarettes?

The yield of golden silk tobacco leaves has been plaguing the people of Fangyi who are addicted to smoking for a long time.

The mother plant brought by Bai Ye's father had long since died. Over the years, the farmers in the village have tried their best to plant it badly, and they can't bake tobacco of similar quality, but they have accumulated a lot of tobacco fruits rich in spiritual power.

Looking at the little uncles who came around with blue light, Bai Ye was startled.

He remembered the bag of Shuoguo that almost exploded in the cave a few days ago, so he thought about quickly fooling around: "I haven't finished reading the set of notes on farming......"

Amber subconsciously pinched harder and harder, and Bai Ye struggled angrily and funny. As soon as it got involved in smoking, all the self-cultivation of these elders was thrown away.

Uncle Ba Hong is different from them. His family's hidden kung fu has great rules in cultivation, and he has never been close to tobacco and alcohol since he was a child, and he has no interest in this topic at all.

He stared at Cheng Buxian with a wooden face: "How much." ”

The captain took the cigarette pouch handed by the king of Hades, took a few puffs, and slowly regained his senses: "The nine secret ritual arrays on the enclave in front of the gate are in good condition on the surface. At the beginning of the year, a lot of refractive fluorite has been replaced. ”

"However, a few days ago, when my people were cleaning up the dust, they found that the caisson with seven or eight formations was not very stable. The manhole cover has been covered with a thick layer of crystal powder. The crystal nucleus inside should have been replaced a few years earlier. ”

An Luoyong sighed.

After the marshal evacuated the city, he strongly persuaded the three princes to exhaust the country's crystal core savings and set up these secret ritual arrays as soon as possible.

Although this move completely dispelled the idea of the southern invasion of the Ul Kingdom, after many years, the daily maintenance alone was about to kill the brothers.

They didn't know that they should often replace the crystal nucleus to keep the Great Array stable. How could it be that there was still a big consumer in the old town.

Cheng Buxian then complained: "Except for the big array, the detection array and secret traps that connect Santun are basically ineffective. We just can't take care of it. All the reserves now are not enough to reload the crystal nuclear cannons in each cannon. ”

The little uncles were silent for a long time. Bai Ye also heard the seriousness of the situation.

Judging from the information from all sides, the army of Ul is definitely about to rush over.

I still haven't figured out why Wei suddenly remembered to attack. I didn't know exactly what their plan was.

But the king of the seven surnames used the excuse of autumn hunting to drive so many spirit beasts, and killed them like a life. The little uncles even smuggled and destroyed, maybe just ruined the output for two days.

If they really slaughtered all the spirit beasts in the mine, the people of the Wei Kingdom hoarded such a huge amount of crystal nuclei on the front line, I don't know what terrifying things they would do.

"Uncles, isn't there also a spiritual source in the big city?

The little uncles all frowned and did not speak.

Uncle Hu Zi grabbed Bai Ye's shoulder: "I'll say it carefully, you listen carefully." The spiritual source of the big city can't be shut down. It will continue to generate spiritual power until a hundred years later. Only by using the backup of the old town to connect to the big city can you control the arcane system over there. However, the backup spirit source has been maintaining your father's body all these years, and he can't take care of the big city. ”

Bai Ye twisted his neck and said, "The two spiritual sources of Dacheng and the old town are recorded in the notes, I know this. ”

"It's just that the notes didn't say what was going on with Oshiro's forbidden arts. I guess that the loss of control of the spiritual source and the ban on the city must have something to do with my father's injury. Is this forbidden technique that closed the big city my father did, or is it a big handsome?"

For decades, with the feat of closing the city and rejecting the enemy army forever, the prestige of the marshal has long been pushed to the peak.

However, the title of "God of War in the Eastern Continent" was abandoned and destroyed, and the core of defense that the country relied on to cling to. The military circles of the Lan State did not know how much effort it had taken to cover up and whitewash.

The iron guards who have been following the commander all know about this matter.

Little uncles, you look at me, I look at you, hesitated for a long time, and their eyes converged on An Luoyong's body.

"The forbidden art does have something to do with your father, but... The forbidden art is incomplete. ”

Amber looked at him left and right, and did not respond to Bai Ye's question directly, but his focus was slightly off.

"What do you mean incomplete?"

"This so-called forbidden technique is a defensive spiritual barrier that has been set up long ago on the southern wall and five city gates of the big city. Only the merchant door was left unsealed. The spiritual power is not as strong as the spiritual source of the big city, and there is no way to break the spiritual barrier. ”

"Yes, they won't be able to get out even if the walls are torn down. ”

Uncle Hu took over: "But that's all." The Western Continent have returned. And judging from the cultivation of orcs and spirit beasts, it is obvious that the time for them to come back is not short. Even if they can't cultivate the spiritual source and can't completely control the defense system of the big city, if they want to break through the spiritual barrier, I'm afraid there is still a way. ”

"Therefore, the Secret Ritual Great Array is the means we have to rely on the most, hurry up and give me some crystal nuclei. ”
