On the drill ground of the Tower of High Pavilion, Xiu Qi and Jiang Wen and others watched as the situation outside the battlefield rushed over.
Inside and outside the field were full of piled-up corpses, with fresh blood pooling into rivers, solidified on the ground.
The guards were protecting Xiu Qi, the long swords in their hands stained with hot blood. It was the blood of the alien race that stained the sword red, a symbol of honor.
Although many Imperial Guards desperately defended, unfortunately, there were many tribal dignitaries on the drill ground, and many of these people were still injured. After all, Taicang had been at peace for ten thousand years, and some people had lost their fighting spirit.
Jiang Wenji and Jiang Wen walked side by side, Xiu Qi glanced at Jiang Wenji, his expression quite solemn.
Although Xiu Qi was covered in blood at the moment, Jiang Wen didn't worry about his safety at all, knowing that with Xiu Qi's cultivation, this formation couldn't do anything to him.
“His Majesty the Heavenly King was suddenly assassinated. I didn’t expect that there were still spies from others in the army. It’s really hard to guard against.” Xiu Qi looked around at the chaotic situation.
Marquis Baimu frowned and said, as the few people spoke, they walked to the viewing platform and saw General Zhuque walking over with guards.
The few people looked at the surroundings with serious expressions. The Imperial Guards who were originally guarding the Heavenly King's side were mostly injured at this moment.
Looking at the wounds of these people, they were all injured in several places that were not easy to be stabbed.
If it weren't for the internal rebellion and backstabbing, even if facing these alien beasts head-on, the Imperial Guards would not have been so easily severely damaged.
Standing on the viewing platform, everyone looked at the trembling Imperial Guard General in front of them. When he came out from the corner and knelt on the ground to plead guilty, Xiu Qi couldn't wait to chop him to death with a knife.
“The dignified Taicang Tianyuan City Guarding Imperial Guards! But they allowed the rebellious thieves to sneak in wantonly! You gave this Marquis such a big surprise?!”
The special token hit the forehead of the Imperial Guard General, his face pale and trembling, he said: “Lord Marquis, it is we, we are derelict in our duty.”
“Dereliction of duty? You call this dereliction of duty?! You are making the people of the world laugh at the Imperial Guards! The elite who guard Tianyuan City, the generals who guard the Heavenly King, actually deserted before the battle!”
All the Imperial Guards present lowered their heads and remained silent. At this time, no one dared to stand up and speak. Although they usually had their own pride, they knew at this moment that there was no way to defend this matter no matter what.
“The Imperial Guards of Taicang! The once elite army! Just so casually allowing people to conspire and collude with the thieves from the inside out!”
Xiu Qi's face turned green, he never thought that this group of people would be so rampant.
Without the help of powerful people in the royal city, it would be extremely difficult for that group of alien races to approach the Imperial Guards.
Not to mention planting internal thieves in the Imperial Guards.
You must know that the Imperial Guards are the last line of defense in Tianyuan City, and most of them are succeeded by some tribal children. The requirements for background are extremely harsh, and even ordinary innocent people find it difficult to enter.
Now it has been drilled into a sieve by people.
Xiu Qi glanced at the Imperial Guard General. This Imperial Guard General was just a scapegoat. Those masterminds behind the scenes were still watching the show.
“Where is the Supervisor?”
“This humble general is here.” The Supervisor stepped forward and said.
“Take this person down and deal with him according to the laws of the military.” Xiu Qi waved his hand, and then two guards dragged the dog-like Imperial Guard General away from the viewing platform.
“Yes!” The Supervisor said solemnly.
“Let’s go in.” Xiu Qi said seriously.
Following the crowd, they walked into the camp tent where the Heavenly King was recuperating.
At this moment, the Heavenly King was lying on the bed, her face pale. A large patch of blood was dyed on her shoulder, which was shocking to see.
The pharmacists had already treated her wound, but because the injury looked serious, everyone did not dare to neglect it. But after all, the Heavenly King's cultivation was unfathomable, and this injury was nothing to her.
Hearing this news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
If something really happened to the Heavenly King, this matter would probably be difficult to end.
When the Heavenly King saw everyone coming in, a reluctant smile appeared on her face. When she saw Jiang Wenji standing behind, a trace of surprise appeared on her face. It was just that her expression quickly converged, making it impossible to see anything unusual.
Everyone reported the situation to the Heavenly King, and Xiu Qi looked at her with a serious expression and said.
“Heavenly King, I have something to say.”
The Heavenly King looked at Xiu Qi and said weakly: “Marquis Wuliang, please speak.”
“I found a Taicang military weapon among the rebellious thieves—the Shennong Crossbow. This Shennong Crossbow has always been an essential weapon among the Imperial Guards. The Heavenly Artifact Department will definitely mark the Shennong Crossbow, but I did not see any marks on the Shennong Crossbow.”
“Therefore, I request a thorough investigation of this matter to prevent our Taicang secrets from being leaked out and held by foreign races.”
“Very good, then this matter will be left to you to handle.” The Heavenly King nodded.
Xiu Qi returned to his position, saw Jiang Wenji behind him smile at him, and nodded in return.
“If there is nothing else, don’t disturb the Heavenly King’s rest.” Xue Wen said softly.
Now that the Heavenly King is injured, and the martial arts performance is in chaos.
She is the oldest and most respected person here. Naturally, she has to stand up and take on many things.
The black-armored soldiers are still besieging the viewing platform here. Although they are rejected outside the city wall, it is always a hidden danger.
“Yes.” The generals responded and walked out of the camp tent.
Xiu Qi and Jiang Wen walked out side by side, looking at the smoke rising everywhere and said: “Tianyuan City, I’m afraid it’s already in chaos at this moment?”
“Alas.” Jiang Wen sighed long.
“Eventful times.”
The two were silent, only to hear the sound of scouts reporting not far away.
“Report!! General! The alien race on the south side has already retreated!”
“What happened?” Xiu Qi asked calmly.
“It is the White Tiger Imperial Guards guarding the south who have come, they are surrounding us and merging with us here!”
“I didn’t expect them to come so quickly.” Xiu Qi was also very surprised. He thought that the approaching White Tiger Imperial Guards would definitely be obstructed by someone and then arrive late. He didn’t expect that in less than half an hour, the entire White Tiger Army had arrived.
“This is a great thing.” Marquis Baimu smiled. “In this way, the offensive from the south has gone, leaving only the bandits on the northwest sides.”
“It seems that this riot should also be quelled.”
Xiu Qi said, and the two saw Marquis Baimu take a spear from the guard and rush towards the outside of the military camp.
“Marquis Baimu, what are you going to do?” Xiu Qi asked.
“This Marquis is going to pick up his boy.” Marquis Baimu said loudly.
He mounted the Feiling Rui Beast and led hundreds of cavalry out of the camp.
This scene made Xiu Qi shake his head, revealing a long-lost smile: “I thought this person didn’t care about his boy, but I didn’t expect it was in his heart.”
Xue Wen, who was on the side, heard this and said lightly: “Marquis Baimu has always been cold on the outside and warm on the inside.”
“How can he not care about his precious son.”
After saying that, there was a burst of laughter in the field.
