C1231 Putting the Brick and Drawing the Jade
2All the way until the one hundred fifty kilometer boundary between the Imperial City and the. At this location, the entire four corners of the Xuanyuan Imperial City were guarded by extremely tight sentries, which were also known as City Guard s.
The guards of each City Guard had already reached the size of a few thousand people.
Each and every one of them was clad in copper heavy armor. Each and every one of them looked valiant and valiant, exuding an imposing aura.
What was worth mentioning was that the leader of the City Guard who was in charge of protecting the Xuanyuan Imperial City was naturally the current First Prince.
In other words, the group of City Guard in front of him were all under the First Prince's command.
With the First Prince's personality, and with the current Duke of the Seven Roads respectively heading towards the Xuanyuan Imperial City, other than Third Prince who was already controlled by Fifth Prince and Fourth Prince who lived in seclusion in the Qijue Mountain, there were currently a total of five legions rushing towards the foot of the imperial city.
As for the First Prince, he was the one who was in charge of protecting the gate outside the Xuanyuan Imperial City just now. How could he so easily release the other people and easily enter the city?
Just like what White Tiger Youth Lang had pointed out just now, the Son of Heaven had no authority and thus gave the City Guard under the First Prince a proper and proper duty to protect him.
If he allowed the people of a few dukes to easily enter the Xuanyuan Imperial City, it would be a dereliction of duty by the First Prince.
With the First Prince's cautious personality, he would never take the blame even if he was beaten to death.
Without a doubt, the two sides would probably need to use force to resolve this dispute. However, this was equivalent to kicking this difficult problem back into the hands of several nobles.
To dare to fight the City Guard was already a great sin in itself. It would require Xu Yang's team to rack their brains to come up with a reasonable solution to the problem.
Xu Yang and his team of chariots gradually approached the place where the City Guard was stationed. At the foot of the towering city wall, a large number of City Guard troops swarmed out, and in a short period of time, they spread out their troops to the sides, stopping Xu Yang's team in front of them.
"How could you people who haven't received the Son of Heaven's Mandate offend such an important place of the City Guard?"
Chiliarch, who was in the lead, said in a cold voice. The moment he finished his words, the surrounding thousand soldiers raised their weapons one by one and stood in front of Wu Tie's team.
Although they did not release a terrifying killing intent, these City Guard soldiers were in a battle-ready posture, giving off an indescribable feeling of oppression.
"I say, you don't have to be like this, what's there to say, not to mention we are all my prince's friends, even if you are City Guard, how can you be so presumptuous in front of the duke?"
Unexpectedly, Lord Jack burst out laughing.
"We naturally respect Fifth Prince, but the duty of the City Protector is to protect the absolute safety of the Xuanyuan Imperial City. Without the orders of the Emperor, we cannot easily open the city gates for anyone."
Fifth Prince went forward again and told the general his purpose of entering the city.
However, the Martial King's left ear went in and out of his right ear. From the looks of it, he seemed to be very serious. However, after the Martial King finished speaking, the other party remained unmoved.
"We will only follow the orders. We will do as we were told. Without the Son of Heaven's Mandate, we cannot open the corresponding passageway. Everyone, please go back."
After the general finished his sentence, Xu Yang's expression immediately turned ugly.
"You refuse a toast only to be punished? You should clearly realize that the strength that we possess is not something that your thousand plus City Guard s can resist! "
However, Chiliarch's expression was still as calm as before: "You guys are indeed powerful and I don't have any confidence to stop you. However, if you force your way in, it will be different from opening the city gate and letting you in.
For us royal food servants, the order is that everything is above our lives. If you feel it is necessary, you can bring out the weapons in your hands at any time and step over our corpses to enter the Imperial City. "
Seeing how confident the other party was, Xu Yang and the rest felt helpless.
Since the other party had spoken in such a manner, this meant that even if they were to die, they would absolutely not take half a step back.
There was no room for discussion on this matter. If he were to barge in, then the crime would undoubtedly fall on Fifth Prince, and it just so happened to fall into the First Prince's hands.
Once the First Prince brought this matter up in front of Heavenly Emperor Yunloong, Heavenly Emperor Yunloong would definitely not let Fifth Prince's actions go unpunished.
This was the so-called rule of the imperial palace. Everything had to be done according to the rules.1
If any side broke this bottom line, even if he was the Emperor's favorite prince, he would still be punished.
Because as rulers, unfair judgment was their greatest taboo.
"Forget it, no matter what happens today, I will pass through this door. However, I cannot bear to hurt you warriors from the City Guard, you are all the most loyal warriors of my Yun Family's most elite soldiers.
I am a prince of the Yun Family, how could I attack you?
In my opinion, we might as well choose a compromise or make a bet. If that's the case, the loser is convinced. Although we are cultivators, you are the real warriors in the army. In this battle against you, we will definitely not use any of our cultivation base. "
Hearing Fifth Prince's words, Chiliarch's heart finally moved.
He knew very well that if he continued to fight against Xu Yang and the others, there could only be one ending, and that was for the enemies to barge in, causing his loyal soldiers to lose their lives for no reason.
He didn't want to be enemies with the scary guys Fifth Prince brought with him. If there really was a compromise to solve it, then why wouldn't he be willing to go through with today's conflict?
More importantly, after hearing Xu Yang say this, it meant that Xu Yang and the others could not reveal their advantage in strength as participants in cultivation. It was equivalent to destroying their most prized capital.
In this kind of fair starting point, the elites of the City Guard, who were one in a million miles, might not necessarily lose to Xu Yang's team.
Furthermore, the talent reserves in the City Guard were calculated in the thousands. No matter what aspect, they all had their own top talents.
As for the few people in Xu Yang's group, no matter how you looked at them, they were all in different shapes. In particular, Eight Gates Team and the others, each of them had strange shapes.
If all factors were taken into account, even if this match was really going to be held, Xu Yang might not necessarily win.
Sure enough, Chiliarch loosened his grip and a smile appeared on his face.
"Then tell me, how do you want to compete?" So what if it's the rules! "
Xu Yang glanced at the thousand elite City Guard and said: "In the military, there are only these few types of leg strength and arm strength."
