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

When the herald heard this, he immediately replied in a loud voice: "Yes, the subordinates obey the order!" Watching the herald exit 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 strategy of the military advisor to kill two birds with one stone is really admirable! ”

When the white-bearded old man heard this, he smiled and said: "The prince has praised it falsely, and the old man, as a military advisor, should share the worries of the prince." What the old man is most interested in now is, who is in charge of this imperial city? almost swallowed the elite of my crusading army, and it seems that the strength of the other party should not be underestimated. ”

As soon as the third prince heard this, he immediately fell his attention back to Tong Yan's body.

"The question that this king asked you just now, now tell me the truth, isn't there just a few hundred royal guards stationed in this imperial city?"

When Tong Yan heard this, he immediately said: "Lord Wang, the Imperial City is indeed garrisoned by the Imperial Forest Army, but ...... However, we encountered youkai. A monster that can breathe poison! ”

"Youkai? How can there be monsters in the Imperial City? It's nonsense! ”

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

The third prince stretched out his hand and touched his chin, thought for a while, and said, "Are you talking about the beauty that my imperial brother rescued from hunting back then?" Is she really a demon? ”

"That's right, she's a demon. I heard from the people in the palace that the demon concubine had shed her skin once, a huge snake skin, which scared the palace maid who accidentally saw it to death on the spot. If it weren't for the emperor's decree that no one in the palace should spread the word, otherwise, the palace would have been in chaos a long time ago! ”

The third prince frowned, and said in disbelief: "I didn't expect that there are really demons in this world, but if that demon concubine is guarding the imperial city, how can we, ordinary people, subdue her?" Strategist, what do you think? ”

The white-bearded old man smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Lord Wang, even if that demon concubine is powerful, I don't think she can fight thousands of troops." Besides, didn't the fifth princess already lead someone to the palace first? Just by borrowing the hand of the demon concubine to get rid of her, wouldn't it save us a lot of trouble? Moreover, the old man had the good fortune to get acquainted with a soul officer of the Tower of Babel in his early years, and I passed on the book to him later. No demon can set off a storm in front of the soul officer. Therefore, the prince should think about tomorrow's accession to the throne! ”

The white-bearded old man's words made the third prince's worries disappear suddenly, and he laughed and said: "The military advisor is really a god and a man, there is a military advisor, in this world, this king is going to be decided!" Whoever dares to stand in the way of this king, this king will make his life worse than death! Haha......"

The next few words of his words were obviously something in his words, first, to announce that he would definitely sit on the throne, and secondly, to warn the princes in this big tent that they would not dare to oppose him, otherwise, they would never end well.

Tong Yan has now completely focused his attention on the white-bearded old man, who is not weak in resourcefulness and has some involvement in the Tower of Babel. Would such a person really be willing to be only a military advisor? Maybe his final goal is also the throne, and the third prince is just a stepping stone for him.

If possible, this old thing must also be removed, otherwise it will become a threat sooner or later.

"Lord Wang, that ...... What do you think of my subordinate? ”

Hearing this, the third prince chuckled and said, "Since he is a deserter, then deal with it according to military law." ”

When Wang Hu, the leader of the black armor, heard this, he said helplessly: "Yes, the last general will obey the order!" Come on, drag it out and cut it! ”

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

Tong Yan had long expected this step, so the moment he got up, he shouted loudly: "Lord Wang, before he dies, his subordinates have a few words to say. Can you wait until I'm done and then punish my sin? ”

When the third prince heard this, he couldn't help but be interested. "Okay, let him go, I'll listen to what he has to say."

Tong Yan's hands are still tied, and although he has the opportunity to make a move now, it is also quite risky, so the top priority is to let people untie their ropes, and when the three princes take it lightly, it is the time for him to do it.

"Lord Wang, I am not a deserter, but your most loyal soldier. Of course, I could have died at the hands of the enchantress in the palace, but I didn't do that, and left the palace with the undead soldiers. This is not a sign of cowardice, but to preserve your strength for the prince to the greatest extent. We are the elite of the Black Armor Army, and we are the vanguard army hand-picked by you, Lord Wang. If our entire army is annihilated, it will inevitably affect the morale of the crusading army, and it will also make people speculate that our Black Armor Army is not vulnerable at all. At that time, if the five princesses take advantage of the topic to play, I am afraid that even your wise decision-making will be criticized. I know that the prince will become the future monarch, and I am willing to die on the battlefield for the prince, rather than smear the prestige of the prince. The reason why I chose to lead the rest of the soldiers to retreat from the imperial city is actually for you, the prince. Please be clear! With that, he knelt down on one knee.

Tong Yan's generous statement really shocked the four seats. is obviously a deserter, but he said so many reasons, which made the third prince a little confused.

"So, instead of killing you, I should reward you? Then report to the crusading army, saying that you will take the lead in breaking through the Dongyang Gate, and then increase the morale of my crusading army? ”

Hearing this, Tong Yan nodded and replied: "That's right, after all, we successfully broke through the Dongyang Gate, which is a fact. We have completed the task you ordered, and we have not disgraced you! ”

When the third prince heard this, he laughed and said: "It's a little interesting, it's very good, it's reasonable, and it really convinces this king." It seems that this king really shouldn't have killed you. But this king won't reward you, the merits and demerits will be offset, so you have nothing to say, right? ”

When Tong Yan heard this, he hurriedly said loudly: "The prince is sympathetic to his subordinates, and his subordinates are willing to go to the soup for the prince and never give up!" ”

The third prince smiled proudly and said: "You kid is also smart, I really didn't expect that there are talents like you in my black armor army." General Wang, just spare his life, and cultivate it well in the future, such a talent cannot be missed. ”

When Wang Hu heard this, he immediately bowed and said, "Yes, the last general will obey the order." Come on, loosen his bonds. ”

As long as the rope is untied, Tong Yan is confident that he can restrain the three princes with one move. The opportunity was finally coming, and he couldn't afford to miss it.

But just as the rope was about to be untied, I didn't think that the hateful old thing suddenly spoke up to stop it.

"Wait, what a sharp-toothed boy. He is not afraid of danger and speaks in an orderly manner. If the old man didn't guess wrong, you shouldn't be from the Black Armor Army, right? Someone, take off his mask for me! ”
