"Your Majesty, the one-inch iron shield and protective armor have been completed and inspected by the Ministry of Works. The iron shield is impervious to swords and spears, and even arrows with ten times the impact force cannot penetrate its defenses."
On the walls of the capital city,
Emperor Yan, dressed in a yellow robe and wearing a beaded curtain on his head, stood with his hands behind his back, gazing majestically ahead.
Listening to the report from the new head of the Dark Guard, Emperor Yan felt even more confident. He glanced at the defensive weapon that had been created, nodded in satisfaction, and his eyes were full of determination.
Border Commander Zhang previously sent a message that even a half-inch iron shield couldn't stop Zhou Cheng's deadly weapon!
At Emperor Yan's command, a one-inch shield was forged!
One inch is already the weight limit of the shield. Its length and width are just enough to cover two people to move forward. It weighs nearly 300 pounds, and it takes two strong men to lift the shield with all their might.
Emperor Yan refused to believe in such superstitions!
Is Zhou Cheng's weapon really that penetrating? Strong enough to pierce through an inch of shield!
"Lord Su."
Standing at the back, Lord Fang turned his head and glanced at Lord Su, who had a deep expression. He then casually remarked, "The more than 20,000 elite troops that His Majesty has dispatched to the capital will soon arrive."
"Several thousand archers have been ambushed inside the city, and tens of thousands of armored imperial guards are hidden outside the city."
"Do you think Zhou Cheng can leave the capital alive, surrounded by enemy forces?"
Lord Su, who had secretly sided with Zhou Cheng, raised an eyebrow and feigned surprise, replying, "Why would Lord Fang ask such a question? Could it be that Zhou Cheng's mere hundred men could possibly defeat 150,000 or 160,000 elite imperial troops?"
Lord Fang let out a fake laugh: "Hahaha, that's truly a fantasy."
"But... Zhou Cheng is a very unfathomable person."
"Lord Su, you opened the door to welcome Zhou Cheng into your residence before. He gave you medicine to treat the plague. No matter what, he is your son's savior. Aren't you worried about Zhou Cheng's safety at all?"
Worry?
hehe!
Young Master Zhou had no intention of coming to the capital at all.
A bunch of self-righteous idiots.
By transferring all the garrison troops from the surrounding eight cities to the capital and waiting to ambush the rabbit, did they not consider that Young Master Zhou was not the rabbit, but would instead take the opportunity to steal their home?
Lord Su sneered inwardly, but outwardly revealed just the right amount of doubt: "Lord Fang is really joking. Zhou Cheng didn't just visit my family back then, but the Wang, Fang, and Su families."
"It's just that I'm willing to see Zhou Cheng because of our past relationship."
Instead of trying to frame me here, you should think about what rare treasures you and the Wang family missed out on by refusing that day.
Lord Fang's brow twitched twice, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
As time went by.
The Yan Emperor, who was waiting at the forefront, began to feel uneasy: "Has Zhou Cheng entered the capital region?"
"Your Majesty, we have not found Zhou Cheng."
Emperor Yan frowned, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
Half an hour later.
Emperor Yan then asked, "Has Zhou Cheng entered the capital region?"
"Your Majesty, there is still no such thing."
"........"
"Your Majesty, still nothing."
"........"
As the wedding day drew ever closer, Emperor Yan couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Suddenly, as if realizing something, he asked, "Wasn't Marquis Pingyang supposed to be bringing Zhou Shi to the capital?"
"Judging by the time, they should arrive in the capital tonight. Why haven't we heard anything yet?"
The head of the guards lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds before respectfully replying, "Zhou Shiying is pregnant, and it's possible that a minor incident occurred during her journey, causing a delay."
