Soon after Xu Yang issued the order, Old Brother Tan and the Five Heavenly Kings under his command immediately assembled 50,000 elite alien beast warriors, stationed them fifteen miles outside the city, ready to be on standby at any time, ready to send troops into the borders of the two major regions in the northeast.
However, at the critical moment when the army was about to set off, the situation that Xu Yang had predicted before finally happened.
Outside the main city, a team of cavalrymen in golden armor arrived, carrying a royal decree, and took full command of the war to pacify the border threat in the eastern region.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that these were spies specially sent by the royal family to Xu Yang and others, in order to help clear out the horse bandits in the Eastern Region and monitor all actions of the Holy Fire Alliance of Xu Yang's lineage, and in the name of imperial power, to undermine Xu Yang's authority as the first command.
Xu Yang and others went out of the city to join the fight. After seeing the leader, Yun Xiao's face suddenly became ugly.
"This is the deputy commander of the Emperor's Royal Guards, the fourth-ranked Heavenly Warrior among the five strongest masters in the Central Region—Yun Yixuan!"
"oh?
Is he also considered a member of the Yun family? "
Xu Yang couldn't help but ask Xiang Yunxiao quietly.
"No, bestowing surnames on capable generals is also a common method used by the royal family to win over people's hearts. His original surname is Hong, and I don't know which lineage he inherited from. The five great masters are all very mysterious. I only know that there is such a person, and I don't know any other details about him.
Anyway, you have to be careful, this guy can act on behalf of the royal family and report later, he is not a simple character. "
Xu Yang chuckled: "Don't worry, at least we can't become enemies with him now. We just wiped out the Seventh Prince. As long as we appease this guy, we can shut up the mouths of the royal family. Not only is he not our enemy, he should also become a tool for us to whitewash ourselves."
The two of them communicated with each other's souls, and Yun Yixuan got off his horse, came in front of Xu Yang, and looked at him deeply.
"Ayang, the leader of the Northern Territory Holy Fire Alliance, is you...
You should already know why I'm here. I'm going to take full control of the 50,000 troops sent to conquer the Eastern Territory, as well as the 10,000 elite soldiers I brought with me.
This time my goal is very clear, to find out which group of ignorant horse bandits dared to attack the Seventh Prince.
Of course, if there are other unknown reasons, I will definitely find out."
Yun Yixuan's words clearly had a hidden meaning, and were meant to give Xu Yang a hint, but what kind of situation had Xu Yang not seen?
If the other party cannot provide evidence, all judgments made will be meaningless.
"The royal envoy has arrived, so we in the Northern Territory naturally dare not overstep our authority. Now that everyone is here, let's take action immediately."
"Wait, before we leave, I need to check the supply warehouse first."
As soon as Yun Yixuan said this, the Five Heavenly Kings of the Holy Fire Sect looked at each other in shock.
Old Brother Tan also came up with an embarrassed look on his face: "Special Envoy Yun, I'm afraid this is not very convenient?
The Holy Fire Alliance's private vault is never open to the public. Except for our clan leader, even our Five Heavenly Kings do not have such rights."
Yun Yixuan raised his hand and slapped Old Brother Tan in the face.
Of course, just before his palm was about to explode, Xu Yang made a steady move and grabbed Yun Yixuan's wrist.
The moment this action appeared, all the soldiers of both armies drew their weapons at the same time. Their movements were so uniform and sharp!
“What?
Want to rebel? "
Yun Yixuan asked back with a chuckle, seemingly teasing, but he didn't know that the power of his palm was not vague at all. If Xu Yang hadn't raised his hand, this slap would have hit Old Brother Tan on the head, and he would have been seriously injured if not killed.
“Although you are a special envoy of the royal family, it does not mean that you have the right to deal with my people in front of me.
Because they are not only citizens of this city, but also disciples of my Holy Fire Sect, and can be considered as my, Ayang's, disciples.
If you beat my apprentice, you must ask me, your master, for help, right? "
Xu Yang's explanation was perfect and did not leave any loopholes for the other party.
Yun Yixuan nodded with an indignant look on his face, but still put down his arms, which eased the tense situation between the two sides.
"Inspecting the inventory is your right as the imperial envoy. Not to mention checking the accounts, even if you come to the Northern Territory as the leader, it is understandable. But if you wantonly touch my people, even if you are the emperor, I will not sit idly by and watch you come to the Northern Territory."
Xu Yang expressed his attitude, which really warmed the hearts of the tens of thousands of law enforcement soldiers behind him.
In today's world, it is rare to find a master who can protect his child like this.
"Search it carefully, search it thoroughly!"
"Yes, sir!"
The golden-armored warriors were very conscientious and almost turned the private vault in the main city of Xuyang upside down, but they did not find anything valuable, which naturally included the spoils confiscated from the soldiers of the Seventh Prince.
Little did they know that Xu Yang had already arranged for Brother Tan to take the equipment of that group of people to the Shendu Auction House. After it was secretly handled by the most professional team, no trace could be found at all.
Now, the Divine Capital lineage has become Xu Yang's most trusted secret laundry place. All spoils of war and equipment obtained from victory will be sent to the Divine Capital Alliance for disposal by Xu Yang. It is quite safe. The two lineages are now truly united.
Yun Yixuan spent three whole days investigating almost every suspicious place in the entire Northern Territory, including the Divine Capital Alliance. However, the final result left him speechless. There was not a single shred of evidence to show that it was Xu Yang who had killed the Seventh Prince.
"how?
Cloud Envoy?
Are you satisfied with the search?
I don't know what you are investigating and I don't want to ask.
But you'd better not waste too much of my time. Every day, people on the border of the two major regions in the northeast die in the hands of bandits."
Yun Yixuan chuckled and nodded: "Forget it, let's set off tomorrow. It seems that no matter how much I investigate, it will be difficult to get a satisfactory result."
Xu Yang sneered at Yun Yixuan and said, "If you have already insisted in your heart that I did it, you can directly bring people back to the Central Region. The royal family will definitely believe you, and will not believe a guy like me who loves to make trouble. Don't you think so?"
Xu Yang's words were actually secretly reminding Yun Yixuan. Xu Yang had long seen that this guy came not only for the royal mission, but also very likely had some other unknown purpose.
"Haha, Lord Ayang is really a quick-witted person. Let me tell you the truth. I came to the Northern Territory this time because I received a secret report that a foreign warrior from the end of the wasteland had entered the Northern Territory. That's why I came here with such a large force to investigate. Eliminating the horse bandits in the Eastern Territory is not my main task.
The royal family has ordered that once we find visitors from the end of the wasteland, we must bring them back to the central region. This is the rule!"
