Chapter 168: The traitor in the clouds
"Brother Feng, where are we going?" Xu Shan followed behind Zheng Feng, finding that this road was not the direction to the palace, and asked with some confusion.
Zheng Feng stopped, saw an inn not far away, pointed there and said: "After driving for so long, everyone is tired, go to the inn to rest for one night first, and then go to the palace tomorrow." ”
Fu Bo glanced at Zheng Feng with some concern, he understood the reason inside, His Royal Highness would rather live in such a humble inn than in a prosperous palace.
More than a year had passed in the blink of an eye, and looking at the majestic palace not far away, as if it had just come out of it yesterday, Fauber sighed and followed His Highness into the inn.
"Four guest officers, what are your orders? A young man in Tsing Yi ran over and asked smartly behind him.
Xu Shan directly threw out a piece of gold ingot, and then said, "Prepare a table of wine and food for us, and prepare four upper rooms." ”
"Okay, four guest officers, please wait a moment, do it here. Xiao Er took the four of them to a clean place on the second floor, and quickly went downstairs.
Zheng Feng sat down near the windowsill, and it didn't take long for a wine and food to be served, a place like an inn is always the place where news spreads the fastest.
From the conversation of the people next to him, he roughly understood the current state of Zheng Guo, the border between Zheng Guo and Yun Guo is very wide, and it can be roughly divided into two defense lines, north and south.
The southern defense line was close to the direction of the Spirit Beast Sect, and the nine cities of Luoyan Mountain, which had been divided from the Cloud Country, belonged to the border between the two countries.
The main forces of Zheng Guo are composed of three major families, namely the royal family, the Gongsun family and the Xu family, the Gongsun family has always had a marriage relationship with the royal family, and the young lord of this generation, Gongsun Yu, has been engaged to the eldest princess, as for the Xu family, it has always been very low-key and has never disobeyed the orders of the royal family.
Among them, the military force is divided into five major legions, and the Black Blade Legion under the command of the Gongsun family, because of the rebellion that broke out last time, is stationed in the area of Luoyan Mountain at the moment.
Near Luoyan Mountain, there is also a Broken Sword Fortress of Zheng Guo, which houses the Chishui Legion loyal to the royal family.
The two legions, with a total of 200,000 troops, resisted the attack of Yunguo on the southern frontier line, while the dragon scale legion under the command of the Xu family and the white lion legion of the royal family were stationed in the north.
The imperial family also has a Ziyao army, which is stationed outside Kyoto City at the moment, supporting the northern and southern defense lines at any time, and the imperial city itself also has a Praetorian Guard army of 50,000 people, plus local guards from all over Zheng Guo, if all of them are mobilized, there will be almost a million troops.
The military strength of the Yun Kingdom in the mortal world should not be much different, and the real victory or defeat of this war depends on the battle of these monks.
Zheng Feng was recalling the foundation building period monks in Yun Kingdom, when a strange sound came from the street outside, and the soldiers of the brigade swarmed in, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded the inn where they were.
Led by a bearded man, wearing a silver fish-scale armor and a dragon-headed broadsword hanging from his waist, he rode a pure white high-headed horse and stopped at the main entrance of the inn.
This person shouted majestically and said, "Arrest them all for me, there are traitors from Yunguo mixed in!"
A group of soldiers drew their blades and rushed in, and there was a sudden jump of chickens and dogs in the inn, the crisp sound of plates falling to the ground, and the cry of the boss.
The bearded man glanced up, and happened to be staring at Zheng Feng who was sitting on the windowsill, with a weird smile on the corner of his mouth.
Fu Bo whispered beside him: "That's Murong Xi, the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, it seems to be a *** person." ”
Zheng Feng naturally knew the other party, and when he was caught in the cold palace back then, it was also this person, and a cold light suddenly burst out in his eyes.
At this time, a group of soldiers had already rushed to the second floor and rushed directly towards Zheng Feng and the four of them, and the captain among them actually had the strength of the late stage of qi refining.
This is definitely the elite of the Praetorian Guard, Zheng Feng subconsciously came to a conclusion, but he didn't expect that he had just entered the city and was discovered by the prince.
"The traitor of Yunguo, this reason is good. Zheng Feng smiled slightly and looked at Murong Xi below, as if looking at a dead person.
Zheng Feng concealed his cultivation, just like an ordinary person, but Xu Shan's body exuded the cultivation of the late stage of qi refining.
The squad leader in the late stage of Qi refining walked up, grabbed the hilt of the knife with one hand, and said cautiously: "A few people who are citizens of Zheng Guo, I hope they can cooperate, come with us." ”
Fu Bo didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he took out the token representing the three princes, and said softly: "This is His Royal Highness the Third Prince, not the traitor you are looking for, don't retreat quickly!"
When the team leader saw the token of the third prince, he seemed to have determined something, made a color to the left and right, and then directly drew his knife and rushed towards Xu Shan, and at the same time shouted, "Bold traitor, you dare to pretend to be His Royal Highness the prince, and kill me!"
Zheng Feng sat expressionlessly in place, Xu Shan on the side jumped up angrily, and said angrily: "Pretending to be your uncle, don't you have fucking eyes?"
"Kill!" the squad leader shouted coldly, and the sword in his hand flashed, slashing at Xu Shan.
Bang!
The squad leader showed a look of surprise on his face, the treasure knife in his hand was a medium-grade magic weapon, and it was actually blocked by a defensive magic weapon released by the other party.
A sword light flashed, he looked at his chest incredulously, and then fell to the ground with a pop, and he didn't understand why the two of them were in the late stage of qi refining, and the other party was able to kill him so easily.
The soldiers behind the squad leader had just surrounded them, and before they could draw their knives, they saw their captain fall to the ground, and when they saw the killer's gaze fall on them, they suddenly let out an exclamation and ran away.
Hum!
Xu Shan snorted coldly, put away the best magic weapon in his hand, and saw Zheng Feng suddenly jump up and land in front of the main entrance of the inn, and hurriedly jumped down.
"General Murong, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's a lot more majestic!" Xu Shan said angrily when he saw Murong Xi not far away.
Fu Bo shouted sharply: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince is here, and he will not dismount to greet him." ”
Murong Xi, who was riding on a horse, glanced at Zheng Feng, his face changed slightly, and the corner of his eye secretly glanced in the direction of the street corner, and then his face tensed again.
"A bold thief, who dares to pretend to be His Royal Highness the Third Prince, deserves death!" Murong Xi shouted, pulled out the dragon head sword on his waist, and slashed towards Zheng Feng.
Zheng Feng stood motionless in place, as if ignoring the existence of the other party, just waved his hand slightly, and the hidden sword gourd instantly floated in front of him, and then a black light flew out.
Murong Xi only had the strength of the early stage of foundation building, only to see a black light flash in front of his eyes, and then a pain in his chest, and when he looked down slightly, a hole the size of a thumb appeared in the position of his heart.
