Chapter 1183
Xuan Tianming has been guarding Jiancheng for a while, and the streets and alleys of Jiancheng have been cleaned up by hundreds of thousands of troops for several days, but the smell of blood mixed with rotten smell still lingers in the air. , has become the proof that countless innocent souls in this city once existed.
He plans to continue to move eastward in the near future, and quickly attack Tongcheng. Although the spies reported that the situation in Tongcheng is a bit strange, they can't stop because of the strangeness. What is ambushing in the five-mile defense line, you have to go to the front and see for yourself.
However, Feng Yuheng had reservations about attacking prematurely. Now that Xuan Tianhua has not been found, and his life and death are unknown, leaving Jiancheng like this always makes her feel unwilling. Although even if they arrived in Tongcheng, the search here would still not stop, but it was still not as reassuring as now that she could go into the mountains by herself to search for it every day. What's more, there is Duanmu Anguo in Tongcheng. Even though he knew that the Dashun army had thunder and guns, he still made deployments in Tongcheng to fight them. Did he not want to live? Still have something to rely on? If there is something to rely on, what is it that can make Duanmu Anguo think that he can fight against Tianlei?
Feng Yuheng was puzzled, but she also knew that the army could not stay in Jiancheng forever. This is the territory of the Zong Sui people. They came here to conquer this country. If they stagnate for a long time, they will not only lose their morale, but also increase the burden of food and grass.
She had no objection, and finally searched in the mountains for another day, and after there was still no trace of Xuan Tianhua, she silently followed Xuan Tianming out of camp and headed east.
But they didn't know that at this time Xuan Tianhua had already reached the territory of Tongcheng one step ahead of them, after several times of investigation, he still stopped outside the five-mile defense line. The city wall of Tongcheng is visible to the eye, and it stands quietly five miles away. He has sent secret guards several times to try to break through the defense line and enter Tongcheng. Unfortunately, the entire Tongcheng is surrounded by people. The soldiers went between the city defense and the city gate, but the path was extremely narrow, and the people of Duanmu Anguo walked cautiously, and there seemed to be certain rules, so the hidden guards could not easily step on it.
Xuan Tianhua suspected that there was a trap in the enclosed area, and it must be a very powerful trap, buried under the five miles of land. Dashun soldiers don't have wings, so they can't fly five miles to break the city. If they want to get close to Tongcheng, they have to set foot on the five miles of land. Since Duanmu Anguo is so confident in his organization, it cannot be easily broken.
Xuan Tianhua was blocked outside the city like this, staring at the five li blankness, pondered and probed non-stop for several days, but still couldn't figure out the reason.
At that time, Xuan Tianming's army was already on the way to Tongcheng, hundreds of thousands of people marched, and they did not travel very fast.
Tanri would report back about the situation in Tongcheng every day, but they were still blocked outside the five-mile defense line. Naturally, there are Dashun spies in Tongcheng, but unfortunately, if people outside can't get in, people inside can't get out, so the information is blocked like this, making the whole Tongli a city of confusion.
The army was still two days away from entering the territory of Tongcheng, but on this day, Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng received an unexpected news brought back by the spies. Tongcheng was in the middle of the five miles. Holding the body of Xuan Tianhua, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince
.
When this news came, Feng Yuheng's scalp felt numb. Her intuition told her that it was not true, because she believed that her sixth sense was very keen, whether it was Xuan Tianming or Xuan Tianhua, whenever there was a disturbance in the people who were close to her in this life, she should feel it. Feeling is. Just like that day when Xuan Tianhua defeated the enemy with the magic qin, even if she followed the army back to Bincheng, her heart was still clenched, and she would throb from time to time. But now, even though she heard that the enemy hanged Xuan Tianhua's body, she still didn't react.
Xuan Tianming also felt that this matter may not be true, the five-mile blank area hangs in the middle, quite far away, the spies may have misread it.
But the spies who reported back said: "This subordinate sees clearly, it is indeed His Highness the Seventh Prince."
Such a precise answer made the two of them a little panicked, even though Feng Yuheng believed in her heart that it must be a trap, there was absolutely no possibility of it being Xuan Tianhua's real body. But sometimes things are like this, you clearly know that it is a trap, but you have to stick your head out to get into other people's trap. Because everything has a just in case, what if... is true?
Xuan Tianming ordered that the army advance quickly, approaching Tongcheng quickly, and set up camp ten miles outside the city. At the same time, wave after wave of hidden guards were sent to investigate again, so they must see clearly who the corpse was.
Xuan Tianhua was naturally the first to discover the corpses hanging out that had already been hiding near the defense line. He naturally knew whether it was himself, and even analyzed it with the hidden guard: "I heard that Li Yue, the sixth princess of the Zong Sui Dynasty, had made many masks for King Zhang Ben, and it is not surprising that such a corpse appears in Tongli now. However, this king knows what's going on, but others don't. The purpose of Duanmu Anguo's doing this is nothing more than to lure Ming'er to come here as soon as possible, and even more hope that Ming'er can enter the five-mile defense line to rescue the corpse. Come out!" With a gloomy complexion, he ordered his secret guards: "When we go back, two people will meet His Highness Ninth Prince and tell him that the king is safe and sound, so don't fall for that old Duanmu thief."
The dark guard nodded and walked away. But Xuan Tianhua sighed, and murmured: "Ming'er came too fast, so fast that I haven't been able to feel the five-mile blank area clearly. The hexagram shows that the place of death calamity is within the scope of Tongcheng , Could it be that this five li land is not enough?" Standing on a high ground, looking at the faintly visible city wall of Tongcheng, he thought that if the bones were left in a foreign land, and when Dashun brought Tongcheng into the bag, he wondered if there would be people coming every year. Where he left the bones, he filled a handful of new soil.
Agency? Someone always has to go. He came down from a high place, paced lightly, and walked towards the five-mile defense line in Tongcheng.
The hidden guards followed quietly behind, carefully protecting their master.
During the zombie battle in Jiancheng, Xuan Tianhua finally drove away the ten sharpshooters ahead of time, leaving only his ten hidden guards to protect him, even the pistol Feng Yuheng gave him, he never Not used.
Where did such heaven-defying weapons come from? He never thought of asking Feng Yuheng about it, but it didn't mean that he didn't know the threats and changes those things brought to the world. He was faintly worried, always thinking that if one day not only the people of Dashun possessed that heaven-defying thing, but all countries had it, what would the world be like? Just like Zong Sui's Iron Essence technique, how many countries coveted it? Once the sky thunder spreads across the world, once every battle destroys this continent in that way, it will be the end
.
He doesn't want the doomsday to come, and he doesn't want that kind of thing to be widely used, so he doesn't need people from the marksman team to keep him safe with machine guns. Don't want to hear that "clack" sound when the machine gun fires.
This is Xuan Tianhua's obsession and also his ideal. Little did he know, many, many years later, as the situation changed and dynasties changed, the kind of weapons against the heavens in his opinion would become the main force of human warfare. The safety of the people is also the greatest threat to human life.
He stopped near the line of defense, which was the closest they could get into this range in the past few days. He used to observe those Zong Sui soldiers walking back and forth on a small road in this place, and carefully wrote down every foothold.
The path is very narrow, and only one person can pass through it. Zong Sui soldiers always walked up in a row, and the people behind stepped on the footprints left by the people in front, walking carefully, for fear that if they stepped on the wrong step, they would be doomed. . Some people who came out of the city even patted their hearts with their hands as soon as they got out of the defense line, indicating that they finally passed through safely and saved their lives.
Being so careful made Xuan Tianhua even more curious about the mechanism buried underground. He then sent his hidden guards back to meet Xuan Tianming. Anxious to explore these five miles of blank space, so as not to be sad.
Night after day, and into the night, Xuan Tianhua kept staring at the passing soldiers until the limit of his vision range, he recorded every footprint that could be trampled on, and only then did he take action. In the night, one step at a time Approaching the line of defense step by step.
The hidden guard didn't know what he was going to do, but felt that he was getting closer and closer to the enemy, so he had to remind him in a low voice: "Your Highness, if you go further, it will be easy for the enemy to detect."
"No." Xuan Tianhua stopped, and at an optimal distance, "We will come here." After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed forward, "Did you see that path? I will go there myself. Tan, it would be great if you can follow that road into Tongli, if not, you can always take a closer look at what is hidden in the five-mile zone."
"Your Highness!" The hidden guard was shocked, "It's very dangerous! If you must investigate, you should go with your subordinates. Your Highness has not fully recovered its internal strength, so it must not be done."
"No problem." He waved his hand, "70% of the recovery has been recovered, it is enough to avoid these city guards. Don't worry, those soldiers can walk around safely, and the king will not be in danger. You wait outside The army of His Highness the Ninth Prince must tell him not to attack the city until this king comes out."
The hidden guard couldn't persuade Xuan Tianhua, and wanted to persuade him a few more words, but Xuan Tianhua suddenly used his lightness kung fu, and his figure flickered, flashing across the air like a bolt of lightning. When he reappeared, he was already standing on the path that Zong Sui soldiers traveled to and from Tongcheng.
It is not the time to change the guard in the silent night. There is no one on the path, and the guards only feel a white light flashing in front of them. When they react, someone has already shouted: "No! Someone has gone in!" Take a closer look, it is not Well, a man in white is standing on the path, facing the direction of Tongcheng, walking carefully step by step.
The soldiers panicked. Although they were wearing the clothes of Zong Sui people, they were actually soldiers of Duanmu Anguo. Some of them knew exactly what was buried in the ground five miles away.
. Therefore, even if they saw Xuan Tianhua entering the defense line, they really didn't dare to step forward to stop him, let alone confront him in that kind of place. They could only watch helplessly as Xuan Tianhua moved forward step by step, while they retreated step by step, for fear that someone in the line of defense would accidentally trigger a thunderstorm, and if the thunder exploded, they would not be able to survive.
Xuan Tianhua was walking on the path, carefully counting his steps, his mind was full of the walking patterns of Zong Sui soldiers recorded in the past few days.
However, even though he was so careful, he suddenly felt something protruding under his feet during a wrong step, as if he had stepped on something...
