inner city.

Xu Pingzhi rode a horse, led fifteen riders, and fifty walking sword guards, patrolling the streets at a leisurely pace.

The sword guards hang crossbows on their backs and sabers on their waists, with solemn expressions.

The inner city is under martial law, the people are not allowed to go out, and those who take to the streets without authorization will be killed without mercy. This is not only to prevent the people from panic and cause chaos, but also to prevent the enemy from secretly agitating the people and creating chaos.

A three-year-old wouldn't believe it if there were no detailed works by the Yunzhou rebels in the capital.

"Boss, do you think the capital can be defended? Listen to the movement, it seems that the southern city has fallen."

At the rear right, a young sword guard rode up to catch up, and said in a worried tone.

Xu Pingzhi was so preoccupied, immersed in his own world, that he didn't hear anything.

"Boss?"

The young sword guard turned his head and raised his voice to shout.

Only then did Xu Pingzhi come back to his senses, frowning:

"Patroll the streets well, just do your job well, and the rest of the things are up to you, so you don't need to think about it."

The young sword guard grinned:

"If you want to say that you have "my nephew" to support you, you will feel at ease when you are young."

Xu Pingzhi is now a Qianhu of the imperial sword guard, and a Qianhu with real power, which is enough to be called an important position and a high position.

All of this is of course due to his amazing "education" level. Everyone in the capital knows that Xu Pingzhi, a hundred households of imperial sword guards, taught Xu Yinluo, a world-class hero, and Xu New Year, a two-ranked scholar.

The former is well-known, needless to say.

The latter is highly talented, able to write in writing, capable in martial arts, and has repeatedly made military exploits on the battlefield.

Up to now, no one has slandered Xu Pingzhi for not being a son of man, and buried Xu Yinluo, the seed of reading.

It is true that Xu Yinluo is the seed of reading, but it is definitely not wrong to ask him to practice martial arts.

The young imperial sword guard whispered tentatively:

"Boss, tell me, is Xu Yinluo sure about keeping the capital?"

Seeing that Xu Pingzhi didn't respond, he said aggressively:

"You don't know. A few days ago, the capital was fortified, and the brothers could tell that the rebels were probably coming. Everyone said that Xu Yinluo was the end of his battle, and the victory in Xunzhou City was the return of Dafeng.

"It may even be that there is no great victory at all, and it is to deceive the people and us little people."

Normally, Xu Pingzhi would defend his nephew, and it was easy to get caught out.

But now, he was just silent, sighing silently in his heart.

The eldest brother has come to the capital, which means that the father and son will have an ending today.

Second Uncle Xu is different from Auntie. Auntie stands unwaveringly on the side of the hapless nephew. After all, he is a cub raised by herself.

But Xu Pingfeng is the biological brother of Second Uncle Xu, even though the two brothers have long been strangers, but now, when he thinks that his nephew and elder brother can only live as one, fratricide, Xu Pingzhi feels unconcealable pain in his heart.

In the barracks in the city, Wei Yuan stood in front of the map of the capital, but his eyes did not pay attention to the map, but looked at a bronze mirror in his hand.

The mirror is in the shape of a half moon and is incomplete.

The scene of the battle was reflected in the mirror. This magic weapon called "Huntian Mirror" was given to him by Xu Nian, which would help him plan strategies and observe the battle situation in real time.

Wei Yuan is only a mortal now, so it is impossible for him to participate in the defense of the city.

The four gates of the capital are guarded by Zhang Shen, Li Mubai, Xu Xinnian and others from Yunlu Academy on the north side, and the opponent is Yang Chuannan, the former commander of the Yunzhou capital.

Wei Yuan remembered that this person came from a family of military generals, and he was obviously a member of the Royal Party. In his early thirties, he was appointed as the commander of Yunzhou Capital, and he did not have much contact with him, but Wei Yuan remembered Yang Chuannan's father, Yang Zhao.

He is a general who is very good at commanding troops and attacking cities.

The Yang family has a military book "Twelve Strategies for Breaking the City". It was written by Yang Zhao's grandfather and passed on for three generations. It was not finished until Yang Zhao.

It is said that this book classifies and integrates the siege strategies of the past and present, and divides them into twelve strategies. If it is made public, the Yang family will be able to leave a mark in the history of military art.

However, from the beginning of its writing, this book has been designated as "a family's study" and will not be passed on to outsiders.

"To see you today is a well-deserved reputation."

Wei Yuan took a look at the cracked northern city wall, and it was no longer suitable to continue to defend it. At most, Zhang Shen and others retreated after an incense stick. Like Nancheng, they changed positions to fight in the street.

To the west is Hengyuan and Chu Yuanzhen leading the forbidden army and the remnants of the Gu tribe to guard. The battle here is the most stable. Withdrew from the Yunzhou Army.

For the west gate, Wei Yuan only needs to ensure sufficient shells and logs for support.

To the east is guarded by the watchmen Jin Gong, who lead the twelve guards of the capital, and the Baizhan Battalion of the fifth battalion of the imperial army.

The battle here is the worst, facing the heavily armored soldiers of the Xuanwu Army, these soldiers are armed to the teeth, and the firecrackers and arrows cannot hurt them in the slightest.

Relying on heavy armor and swords, even the elite of the elite, the Forbidden Army of the Imperial City is no match for them.

Cooperating with Yunzhoufang's fourth- and fifth-rank martial arts, it can be said to be invincible.

Fortunately, there are not many fourth-rank masters, and the city walls are well preserved, and they can still persist.

The weakest guarded city, Nancheng, has already fallen under the circumstances that Wei Yuan deliberately opened the net.

Wei Yuan planted a large number of landmines in Nancheng, two thousand soldiers were hidden in the houses, and sixteen artillery pieces were set up on the main road, and the people had already been emptied.

Once the Yunzhou army penetrated into it, the Dafeng army closed the door and beat the dogs and gave them a severe blow.

But Qi Guangbo has been fighting steadily, and only sent some troops to attack the south of the city, fighting fiercely with the defenders, while finding out the road conditions.

The roads in the capital are complicated, and if you can't figure out the road conditions, you will rush in. It is easy for the Dafeng Army to rely on the terrain advantage, divide them, and break them one by one.

"It's not a bad handsome talent."

Wei Yuan gave orders calmly and dispatched people according to the situation, while paying attention to the picture in the Mirror of Heaven.

"Look at Kou Yangzhou!"

Wei Yuan said in a deep voice.

While talking nonsense, the mirror of the sky mirrored the situation in Kou Yangzhou.

The reason why Xu Pingfeng was not photographed was because it was beyond the scope of the Heavenly Mirror's ability and would be retaliated.

And Kou Yangzhou is an ally of his side, and will not reject Wei Yuan's contemplation.

Wei Yuan glanced at it and shook his head slightly. It wasn't that Kou Yangzhou and Xu Pingfeng had any problem with their operations. In fact, both of them were masters.

It's just that it's still hard to escape the rut of Wu Fu fighting other systems, so there is nothing too amazing.

Probably only a martial artist like Xu Qi'an, who has resorted to repeated means, can break through the dilemma that no one can do anything to the other when fighting with other systems.

However, Wei Yuan noticed one thing, the two of them fought more and more and moved inward, heading towards the palace.

"Look at Ji Xuan!"

Wei Yuan issued an order to make the Mirror of Heaven change its perspective.

In the picture, a black shadow appeared, with disheveled hair and tattered armor, revealing a muscular upper body, reckless and unruly like a god of war.

He held a jade talisman in his palm, crushed it lightly, the clear light rose and disappeared.

There was only white clothes left in the air, Sun Xuanji looked left and right for a moment, then turned his head sharply, looking in the direction of the palace.

"I mean the palace."

Wei Yuan raised his eyebrows.

above the palace.

A small square platform flew out of Xu Pingfeng's sleeve, with a slight push, the square platform flew out and crashed into the teleportation circle.

In the next moment, it slammed into the palace with a bang, turning into a platform seven feet high and about ten feet wide.

There was a flash of light on the high platform, and the figure of Ji Xuan with disheveled hair appeared.

He directly sent the jade talisman to the palace with the help of Xu Pingfeng's teleportation platform.

At the same time, pieces of bronze magic weapon parts kept flying out of the kit around his waist.

The bronze parts are automatically spliced ​​in the air to form a huge metal disc.

Kou Yangzhou's saber intentions slashed on the bronze magic weapon one after another, shaking off the misty light, but it couldn't destroy the magic weapon of the destiny master.

During this process, Xu Pingfeng continued to use teleportation, defense and other formations to block Kou Yangzhou's strong attack. The bronze magic weapon did not take long to assemble. After four or five breaths, the assembly was completed.

Xu Pingfeng raised his foot, and the circular array matched with the magic weapon suddenly spread out, forming a field of forward and reverse rotation, isolating the palace in another world.

This is a long-established strategy. Considering the existence of the teleportation jade talisman, Xu Pingfeng has been observing the energy in the palace and locking the position of the empress.

With his personality, ordinary breath-shielding spells can't hide from his eyes at all. Unless it is the magic weapon left by the first generation Jianzheng, or the magic of the supernatural field such as "moving stars and changing battles".

"Back a hundred feet!"

With a big wave of Zhang Shen's hand, the dozen or so enemy soldiers who had just climbed up to the top of the wall, brandishing their sabers and preparing to kill them, disappeared strangely.

"go back!"

Li Mubai waved his sleeve robe, and knocked back all the arrows and shells that were shot at him.

Compared with other city gates, the gate of the North City, where the Great Confucianists of Yunlu Academy sits, is the most stable and the city wall is the best preserved.

The Great Confucianists cooperated with the fourth-rank masters in the defenders, and they guarded the North City Gate very well.

But because of the excessive use of "Words come out with the law", the surface of the two great Confucians was covered with a faint layer of clear light, which was so thin that it almost disappeared.

His physical strength and spirit are on the verge of exhaustion, if he continues, without the support of Haoran's righteousness, the backlash of the spell will be directly exerted on his body.

"Whoo~"

Amidst the shrill sound of piercing through the air, a cold arrow shot towards Zhang Shen's chest with majestic energy.

Zhang Shen, who was exhausted, trembled in his heart. At this moment, Xu Erlang's calm reciting voice came from his ear:

"Three feet to the left!"

Encouraged by Qing Guang, the spell surged, and the arrow abruptly moved three feet to the left, scraping Zhang Shen's arm and passing, blasting a deep hole in the city wall behind him, and the broken stones shot out.

Xu Erlang shook the ashes in his hands, feeling relieved.

After the First World War in Xunzhou City, he was successfully promoted and officially stepped into the sixth-rank Confucian scholar realm. Confucian scholars in this realm can prostitute other people's skills for free. Anyone who sees them can write them down with a pen and record them on paper.

Really has a good combat power.

At Xu Erlang's age, he is extremely talented.

In the Xu family, only an evildoer like his eldest brother can overwhelm him, and his father Xu Pingzhi is currently a seventh-rank martial arts master.

He had been recording the spells of Zhang Shen and Li Mubai just now, and he only succeeded once, and he used them on the sheep as soon as he finished plucking the wool.

Xu Erlang's grade is low, and the effect of the spell recorded is not as good as the original version, so he can only be three feet away.

Xu Erlang went to the outside of the female wall and took a look. The one who shot the arrow was Yang Chuannan, the former commander of the Yunzhou capital.

The former commander of the capital of Yunzhou showed good military qualities in the Qingzhou campaign, was well versed in the art of war, and was extremely good at attacking cities and villages.

The dog Xu Nian gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:

"Teacher, Mr. Mu Bai, rest for now, leave this place to the guards."

In terms of physical strength, he can't compare with Wufu. Up to now, Wufu is still alive and kicking, running back and forth between the city and the city.

Just as Zhang Shen and Li Mubai were about to nod their heads, they suddenly felt something in their hearts. They all looked in the direction of the palace, where there was a huge disk that radiated majestic power, covering the entire palace.

The fifth-rank and fourth-rank masters present also sensed the majestic power emanating from the Destiny Master's magic weapon.

They may not know what happened, but they can all sense the abnormality in the direction of the palace.

"His Majesty."

Xu New Year's face changed slightly.

Yang Chuannan felt relieved, and then the corners of his mouth curled up. Now that they have reached the capital, the head of Emperor Dafeng must be in the bag anyway, so that this trip is not in vain.

After beheading the empress, can the morale of the soldiers be stabilized? Baiguan still calm down? Can the people still suppress the panic in their hearts?

To shoot a man first shoot a horse, to capture a thief first to capture the king, this is an unbreakable principle from ancient times to the present.

What's the matter? Chu Yuanzhen rose against the wind and went straight into the sky.

The golden master Hengyuan jumped up and stepped on the flying sword. In the process, he blocked a shell for Chu Yuanzhen.

"What magic weapon is this?"

Master Hengyuan looked solemnly at the bronze disc covering the palace in the distance.

During the battle in Xunzhou City, members of the Tiandihui were in charge of hunting the demons of the Dizong, so they had never seen this magic weapon.

"Your Majesty is in danger."

Chu Yuanzhen's face was serious. He knew that Huaiqing should have means to save his life, but his intuition told him that Huaiqing was in danger.

In front of the Yunzhou army formation, Qi Guangbo took a deep breath and said loudly:

"Siege!"

There are still five thousand soldiers and horses behind him, who are the last elite in Yunzhou.

In the sound of beating drums, they came out in full force.

The moment the bronze disc appeared, almost all the high-level monks in the capital sensed its existence.

Each of these top-level magic weapons has its own special symbol, so it is destined not to be low-key.

Zhang Shen, Li Mubai, Chu Yuanzhen, as well as the masters of Jin Luo and the Forbidden Army, etc. felt terrified in their hearts.

Since the bronze disc appeared in the direction of the palace, no matter whether the disc was an enemy or a friend, the palace must have been attacked.

How come Wei Gong hasn't ordered back to help some masters who are finally the Empress, he is impatient.

But taking the overall situation into consideration, what he thought was that if he returned to the palace at this moment, it would be tantamount to giving up the city wall.

In Xiyuan's underground secret room, my aunt's heart trembled suddenly, and she stammered:

"Lingyue, I don't know why, but I'm suddenly scared."

As she spoke, she looked at her daughter and found that Xu Lingyue's face was solemn, she raised her head slightly, and her eyes were fixed on the southeast of her head.

The good sister Mu Nanzhi beside her had the same eyes as Xu Lingyue.

"What's wrong?" Aunt asked.

Xu Lingyue whispered:

"A master is coming."

As for the height, she is not sure, after all, she is self-taught and lacks the corresponding knowledge and experience.

"A master of the Transcendent Realm, yes, there are three"

Mu Nanzhi swallowed her saliva, and finally got a little scared.

Although following Xu Qi'an through the storm, but now that the surname Xu is not here, and the enemy seems to be nearby, the Flower God should be cowardly or cowardly.

Aunt tremblingly said:

"Yes, is it Xu Pingfeng?"

Her voice is a little high.

Hearing the words Xu Pingfeng, Concubine Chen on the other side turned her head and looked over with a complicated expression.

In the basement, the women's family members were in a commotion, and the courage to cry.

The brave ones clamored for the imperial guards to escort them out of the palace, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

It wasn't just my aunt who was suddenly frightened, they also felt the coercion of the Transcendent Realm masters, and fell into panic and fear.

The queen mother took a deep breath and reprimanded:

"Silent! Noisy, how decent!"

The noisy voice stopped for a while.

Among these female relatives were concubines in the harem, and female relatives of civil servants and military generals. Huaiqing gathered them in the palace for protection in name, but in reality they were hostages.

Although the Empress Dowager didn't like Huaiqing as a daughter, since she entrusted these female relatives to herself, as the master of the harem, she should take good care of them.

The Queen Mother continued: "Your Majesty is still up there. Since she didn't arrange for us to evacuate, she naturally has something to rely on, so don't panic."

Xu Lingyue immediately said:

"I, my elder brother won't ignore me and my mother."

Her words were more effective than the empress dowager's comfort. The concubines and high-ranking women finally calmed down and wiped away their tears silently.

The noisy and fierce ones no longer wanted to escape.

The queen mother glanced at Xu Lingyue, a little surprised.

Xu Lingyue returned a weak and pleasant gesture.

Ji Xuan cut off the swarming imperial army with a single blow, and Xu Pingfeng's voice came from his ear:

"Golden Palace!"

Taking advantage of Xu Pingfeng's entanglement with Kou Yangzhou, he stepped across the palace walls, ignoring the imperial guards as nothing, passed through the Meridian Gate, and came to the square outside the Jinluan Hall.

Ahead, under the corner of the eaves outside the Golden Luan Hall, on His Majesty Dan, stood the empress in a dragon robe.

Looking at the magnificent empress, Ji Xuan's eyes flashed with hatred. It was this bitch who conspired with Xu Qi'an to rebel and caused his younger brother Ji Yuan's death.

He was humiliated before his death.

As for Wei Yuan daring to surprise Yunzhou and kill other people, Ji Xuan had already learned from Xu Pingfeng.

As the "seventh prince", of course he also wanted to avenge his clansmen, slaughtering the royal family, men, women, old and children, leaving no one behind.

But there is no hatred in my heart, only the anger that the base camp was destroyed, and those tribesmen in Yunzhou killed them, and it is best to kill his father together.

Instead of being angry, Ji Xuan clapped his hands and applauded.

The father is alive, how can the son come out?

Anyway, for the national teacher, as long as it is of royal blood, it is the same to support anyone.

Ji Xuan glanced at the teleportation jade talisman in the empress's hand, and said hey:

"Maybe send it to try."

The Empress was expressionless, looking down with indifferent eyes, and said coldly:

"unnecessary!"

Ji Xuan nodded and said:

"The generals of Dafeng are fighting outside, as the king of a country, how can they hide in the palace?

"I'll take you to meet the Dafeng generals."

He wanted to kill the Empress with his own hands in front of the Dafeng defenders.

Ji Xuan didn't talk nonsense, and with a surge of energy, he pushed him towards Huaiqing.

Huaiqing still didn't move, she raised her left hand, and there was a fragment of book in her hand. She used the fragment of book and pointed to the top of Ji Xuan's head.

The next moment, a black shadow descended from the sky and smashed heavily in front of Ji Xuan and the Empress. The square outside the Golden Luan Hall was shaken violently, countless bricks and stones were shaken and dust was flying.

Embedded in the ground is the Jia Luo tree with folded hands and covered in golden blood.

Ji Xuan suddenly raised his head and looked towards the sky.

I saw the bronze artifacts disintegrate one by one, and saw the "curtain" separating the palace from the outside world dissipate.

He saw Xu Qi'an standing high in the sky, his body was as white as jade.

The magic weapon left behind by the first generation supervisor was violently blasted away by a first-rank martial artist.

From the imperial city to the inner city, from the inner city to the outside of the city, pay attention to the masters here, whether it is Dafengfang or Yunzhoufang, they all saw the disintegration of the bronze magic weapon.
