Chapter 539 Opportunity Comes, Damn Old Thief!

Hearing this, the third prince hurriedly stopped the messenger, "Wait, don't let the crusading army act rashly for the time being, this king will give orders in person later!"

Hearing this, the messenger immediately responded loudly: "Yes, this subordinate obeys!" Seeing the messenger withdraw from the big tent, a knowing smile appeared on the face of the Third Prince.

"Thanks to the military advisor's reminder just now, this king almost missed the opportunity! The military advisor's strategy of killing two birds with one stone is really admirable!"

Hearing this, the old man with a white beard laughed and said, "My lord is absurd. As a military advisor, I should share my worries. What I am most interested in now is who is in charge of this imperial city? He almost swallowed me to attack The elite of the army, it seems that the opponent's strength should not be underestimated."

When the third prince heard this, he immediately turned his attention to Tong Yan again.

"The question I asked you just now, tell me the truth now, isn't it just a few hundred imperial forest troops stationed in the imperial city?"

Hearing this, Tong Yan immediately said: "My lord, the Imperial City is indeed guarded by the Imperial Forest Army, but... But we encountered a monster. A monster that can spray poison!"

"Monsters? How could there be monsters in the imperial city? It's just nonsense!"

As soon as the third prince finished speaking, a relative of the emperor who was sitting on a chair beside him hurriedly said: "Third prince, who said that there are no monsters in this imperial city? Have you forgotten the demon concubine who was thrown into the cold palace?"

The third prince touched his chin with his hand, thought for a while and said, "You mean the beauty my brother rescued from hunting? Is she really a demon?"

"That's right, she is indeed a demon. I heard from people in the palace that the demon concubine shed her skin once, a huge snake skin, which scared the maids who accidentally saw it to death on the spot. If it wasn't for the emperor's decree People in the palace are not allowed to spread the word, otherwise, the palace would have been in chaos long ago!"

The third prince frowned, and said in disbelief: "I didn't expect that there are monsters in this world, but if the demon concubine sticks to the imperial city, how can we ordinary people subdue her? Military teacher, you What do you think?"

The white-bearded old man smiled slightly and said: "My lord, don't worry, no matter how powerful the demon concubine is, I don't think she can defeat thousands of troops. Besides, didn't the fifth princess lead someone to enter the palace first? Wouldn't it save us a lot of trouble to get rid of her by the hand of the demon concubine? Moreover, the old man was lucky enough to meet a soul officer of the Tongtian Tower a long time ago, and I will send a letter to him later. Any demon In front of the soul officer, there is no way to make a big storm. So, the prince should think about the matter of enthroning tomorrow!"

What the white-bearded old man said immediately dispelled the worries of the third prince. He laughed loudly and said: "The military master is really a god, and with the military master, this king will be determined in this world! Who dares to block the way of this king?" , this king will make his life worse than death! Haha..."

The next few words of his were obviously meaningless. Firstly, he announced that he would definitely sit on the throne, and secondly, he also warned the princes in the big tent so that they would not dare to oppose him, otherwise, he would never end well.

Tong Yan has now completely focused his attention on the old man with a white beard. This old man is not weak in resourcefulness, and he is also somewhat involved with Tongtian Tower.Would such a person really be willing to be just a military adviser?Perhaps his final goal is also the throne, and the third prince is just a stepping stone for him.

This old thing must be removed if possible, otherwise it will become a threat sooner or later.

"My lord, that...how do you think my subordinate will deal with it?"

Hearing this, the third prince chuckled lightly and said, "Since it's a deserter, let's deal with it according to military law."

Hearing the words, Wang Hu, the leader of the black armor, said helplessly: "Yes, the last general obeys! Come on, drag it out and chop it up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two black armored soldiers who were escorting Tong Yan immediately picked Tong Yan up and were about to go outside to execute him.

Tong Yan had expected this step a long time ago, so the moment he got up, he shouted loudly: "My lord, before I die, my subordinates have a few words to say. Can you treat me after I finish speaking?" sin?"

When the third prince heard this, he couldn't help becoming interested. "Okay, let him go, I want to hear what he has to say."

Tong Yan's hands are still tied, although there is a chance to make a move now, it is also quite risky, so the most urgent thing is to get someone to untie his rope, and the moment when the three princes take it lightly, is the time for him to act.

"My lord, I'm not a deserter, but your most loyal soldier. Of course I could die at the hands of that enchantress in the palace, but I didn't do that. Instead, I left the palace with the surviving soldiers. This is not a sign of cowardice , but to preserve your strength to the greatest extent possible. We are the elite of the Black Armored Army, the vanguard army appointed by your lord. If our entire army is wiped out, it will definitely affect the morale of the crusade army, and it will also make people Guessing, my Black Armored Army is totally vulnerable. At that time, if the five princesses take advantage of the problem, I am afraid that even your wise decision-making will be criticized by others. I know that the prince will become the future monarch, and I am willing to fight to the death for the prince. , not to tarnish the reputation of the lord. The reason why I chose to lead the remaining soldiers to retreat from the imperial city is actually for you, lord. Please learn from me!" At this point, he directly knelt down on one knee.

Tong Yan's generous statement really shocked everyone.Even though he was a deserter, he actually told so many reasons, which made the third prince a little confused.

"So, instead of killing you, I should reward you? Then inform the crusade army that you were the first to break through the Dongyang Gate, and thus boost the morale of my crusade army?"

Hearing this, Tong Yan nodded and replied, "That's right, after all we successfully breached the Dongyang Gate, this is a fact. We have completed the task you ordered, and we did not embarrass you!"

Hearing this, the third prince laughed and said: "It's kind of interesting. It's very good and well-founded. It really convinced me. It seems that I really shouldn't kill you. But I won't reward you either. Overbalance, so you have nothing to say, right?"

Upon hearing this, Tong Yan hurriedly said in a loud voice: "The lord is sympathetic to his subordinates, and his favor is everywhere. The subordinates are willing to go through fire and water for the lord, and even die!"

The third prince smiled triumphantly and said, "You are smart too. I never thought that there are talents like you in my Black Armored Army. General Wang, let him spare his life and train him well in the future. Such a talent cannot be missed." gone."

Hearing this, Wang Hu immediately leaned over and said, "Yes, the general will obey. Come, let him untie him."

As long as the rope is untied, Tong Yan is confident that he can stop the Third Prince with one move.The opportunity finally came, and he must not miss it.

But just when the rope was about to be untied, unexpectedly, that nasty old thing suddenly stopped it.

"Wait a minute, what a sharp-tongued boy. He is not afraid of danger, and speaks in an orderly manner. If the old man guessed correctly, you should not be from the Black Armored Army, right? Someone, take off his mask for me!"
