low-key is king

Chapter 203 Are You Lying?
"Yeah, grown up!"

Hearing Zhao Qidong's murmur, and looking at the rather arrogant young figure who had already turned around to leave the tent, Lu Mingyang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Thinking about how Lu Xun gave these two headaches ten years ago, Zhao Qidong, whose beard was burnt back then, wanted to break Lu Xun's leg.

When he thought of these, he felt as if he had passed away.

Back then, the devil king who had to go to the house for three days without fighting, returned after ten years of disappearance. Not only his strength has improved, but his temperament has also changed a lot. This can be considered for the lives of ordinary soldiers.

It is conceivable that as long as a thousand large wooden kites are manufactured, the army of Zhendong Palace will appear in Tianyang City like a divine soldier, and the tragic siege battle can be avoided.

"Mingyang, Xiao Xun'er's injury really doesn't matter, right?"

After pondering for a while, Zhao Qidong finally couldn't help asking, and then saw Lu Mingyang's bitter face, which made his heart sink.

"His injury must be extremely serious, but... I believe he knows it well!"

This time Lu Xun was not here, Lu Mingyang did not hide it anymore, as a father, how could he not feel distressed?
But now he really can't control that little guy who has a special aura.

Zhao Qidong didn't speak, just stared at the place where Lu Xun left in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Pass down the order and start the siege tomorrow!"

Just when Zhao Qidong was in a trance, Lu Mingyang's voice suddenly came from beside him, which made him startled for a moment, and then he understood what the other party was going to do.

"Hehe, you still have to make the appearance, or the head of the Yan family will be thinking wildly again!"

Lu Mingyang explained with a smile, even Chen Xian and Gu Qi were able to react.

The so-called siege battle, of course, is not really about attacking the top of the city, it's just creating an illusion for Yan Rongdao.

It's just conceivable that even if it was a fake siege battle, many people would definitely die. Otherwise, how could they have fooled the "talented" Patriarch of the Yan family?
…………

Tianyang City, the east gate city wall!

The sky had already darkened, and the hustle and bustle of the day seemed to disappear at this moment, but it was impossible for the generals of the Yan family on the city wall to relax.

Many soldiers glanced at the tower in the middle from time to time, looking at the old figure sitting on the steps in front of the door.

Old, but still majestic.

Beside the Patriarch of the Yan family was the Qinglong Yanyue Knife that had been with him in battle for many years. The handle of the knife had some jet black color, which was the color of the enemy's blood left on it for a long time.

If Yan Rongdao wanted to, he could have erased those bloodstains at that time, but he never wiped his long knife after the battle, as if those bloodstains were a symbol of his invincibility in all battles.

Today's battle was undoubtedly a big defeat that Yan Rongdao had never experienced in his life, so he could only shrink back on the city wall of Tianyang City, making this passive defensive posture.

To be honest, Yan Rongdao was a little unconvinced about today's battle.

He believed that he was not defeated by Zhendong King Lu Mingyang, but by the killer judge, and the mysterious skeleton.

Yan Rongdao believed that if he had a real fight with King Zhendong, he might not lose!
It's a pity, God's will tricks people, he lost after all!
"No! I haven't lost yet! Yan's hasn't lost yet!"

Suddenly, ambition rose in Yan Rongdao's heart, and he suddenly stood up, looking at the star-studded big tent outside the city, his eyes shone with unprecedented brilliance.

This action startled all the generals not far away who were watching him at any time, but sensing the aura of the Patriarch of the Yan family, for some reason, they suddenly felt a lot more at ease.

Perhaps under such circumstances, Yan Rongdao, the great master of the six realms, is their only backbone.

If this backbone is down, then Tianyang City really has nothing to defend.

…………

Chaoyang Palace!
Since yesterday, the Chaoyang Palace has been filled with solemnity, but the Empress Yan Chaolu, who was sitting on the phoenix chair, never got up, and seemed to be waiting for the news of the battle outside the East Gate.

But at this moment, it was completely dark, and no one came to tell her the result of this battle, which made her a little bit looking forward, a little excited, a little worried, and various emotions.

Yan Chaolu naturally knew the importance of this final battle. If Yan's wins, everything will be under control, but if he loses...

Yan Chaolu, who has been well-clothed and well-fed since he was born, and has come all the way to the current high position, can't imagine the result after losing this battle, let alone the scene of himself becoming a prisoner.

"No, my Yan family still has 50 troops, so I won't be defeated!"

Yan Chaolu could only comfort herself in her heart, but she couldn't erase the feeling of the earthquake during the day, the whole palace trembled earlier, what was the reason?

"Who is it, get out of here!"

Yan Chaolu, who was thinking wildly, suddenly saw a figure poking her head at the gate of Chaoyang Palace, and couldn't help but let out a low voice, she was feeling a little irritable.

"Mother...Mother..."

There was a little eunuch loitering at the door, his face was pale, and he was indeed a little tangled. He didn't expect his figure to be discovered by the empress, so he could only bite the bullet and walk in.

"Is there any news about the battle at the East Gate? Did my Yan's army win?"

At this time, Yan Chaolu was not in the mood to argue with a little eunuch, seeing the little eunuch approaching tremblingly with a piece of letter paper in his hand, she couldn't help getting up and asking.

"It's the news of the battle at the East Gate, but...but..."

The little eunuch's face was a bit tangled. To be honest, he really didn't want to take on this job. It would be fine if the East Gate won a big victory, but the battle at the East Gate was really difficult to describe.

Thinking of Mr. Luo's expression when he handed over the East Gate information to him, the little eunuch felt a little bitter. It seems that Mr. Luo didn't want to be angered by the empress.

"But what, say!"

Yan Chaolu is the mother of a country after all, although she could see that the little eunuch's face was a bit wrong, she held back her gaffe and asked in a deep voice.

"East... the east gate was defeated, the second master was killed, and Da Sima led the elite of the Yan family back to Tianyang City. The army of Zhendong Prince's Mansion lined up outside Tianyang City. It should...should be attacking the city soon!"

The little eunuch took a deep breath, and finally suppressed the throbbing. After finishing what he wanted to say, his figure began to tremble at this moment.

I don't know if it was frightened by the empress, or by the army of Zhendong Palace outside the city.

He clearly knew that if Tianyang City was destroyed, it was absolutely impossible for him, the little eunuch next to the empress, to live again.

"You... what did you say?!"

Yan Chaolu, who had been speculating in her heart, finally waited for this result, and her pretty face instantly turned pale.

It was as if all the strength was exhausted in an instant, and he sat back in the chair slumped.

"No! Impossible!"

But at the next moment, Yan Chaolu jumped up from the phoenix chair again as if his buttocks were on fire, staring fiercely at the little eunuch, and said sharply, "You're lying, aren't you?"

"That's right, you must be a spy sent by that old dog Lu Mingyang, trying to shake my determination, it's really vicious!"

At this time, the Empress Empress seemed to have lost her mind due to the shocking news. Seeing her ferocious appearance, the little eunuch trembled with fright, but he didn't know how to defend himself.

"You...you all want to kill me!"

The Empress looked crazy, she reached out her hand and pulled out a sharp sword from under the phoenix chair, and then ran forward a few steps, stabbing the little eunuch's chest with a sword.

At this time, the little eunuch was already petrified, he could only see the gleaming long sword stabbing towards him, and then piercing into his chest until he saw the blood spurting out.

Although the queen is not a cultivator, but this little eunuch has no combat experience, and he doesn't realize that he has to resist at all. This may be the empress's always strong majesty and deterrence.

The maids and eunuchs outside the gate saw this scene through the palace gate, and couldn't help being horrified.

The first thought in their minds was that the queen was crazy, so would they also follow in the footsteps of that little eunuch?

Fortunately, Yan Chaolu in the palace, after stabbing the little eunuch with a sword, seemed to see the blood spattered, and finally regained some sanity, pulled out the sword, and sat down on the ground panting.

"Mr. Luo, Mr. Luo!"

After a while, Yan Chaolu's complexion became a little better, but at this moment, he shouted out, with a touch of panic and eagerness in his voice.

"Mr. Luo, are you leaving this palace too?"

After calling a few times and getting no response, Yan Chaolu's face became even more depressed.

You must know that she is the Taoist protector of the Yan family who has been with her for decades, and at this time, she is not by her side.

"Hey, ma'am, the Yan family hasn't completely failed yet, why do you have to!"

Just as hostility rose in Yan Chaolu's heart, and there was a hint of madness in despair, a familiar voice suddenly came, followed by a figure at the gate of the palace, it was Mr. Luo who she was thinking of.

In fact, Luo Wuxu never left, his mission was to protect the queen, he just didn't want to touch Yan Chaolu's bad luck, so he let a little eunuch pass it on for him.

But at this moment, Yan Chaolu undoubtedly lost his composure, and even lost his energy as a queen, but Luo Wuxu had no choice but to show up.

If this goes on like this, if the east gate is not in chaos, the interior of Chaoyang Palace will be in chaos first.

"Mr. Luo, this little thing is deceiving me, right?"

Yan Chaolu seemed to be a little lost, she stretched out her hand and pointed at the little eunuch lying in a pool of blood, her eyes were a little anxious.

It seems that he wants this guardian who has been with him for many years to give himself a definite answer, or a satisfactory answer.
