There was a horrifying silence in the e one’s heart to panic As soon as Master Ja waved his hand, hishouses
Residential courtyards were built along the riverside, winding and curving, and it was very easy for outsiders to get lost within thee stones blocking the path,the already difficult terrain beco
Master Ja had an oret his bold advancement
At that moment, a Western soldier cried out All the people around hi their swords Many steel armours soon for at the unusual locust tree
They saw a Western soldier hanging down from a tree, half of his head had been bloay, there was no telling which battle he had died in There was a white face ed into a crying face!
An explosive noise sounded It turned out to be an armored soldier who had shot the cannon out of nervousness The body on the tree was suddenly blown up into pile of h sounded, all the soldiers underneath hurriedly retreated as if they were in the presence of a great eneed froed anis and flew straight into the sky, spreading its strange laughter everywhere
Frightened people into a cold sweat in the broad daylight
“Sir Jacobson, e continue the search?”
Master Ja sith difficulty: “No… Retreat, get out of here, quickly! ”
He had not yet finished speaking, when suddenly there was a sharp noise of explosion in the distance, followed by several blood-curdling screahtly
Soht, “We were ambushed!”
“Withdraw!”
“Leave now!”
The sound of cannons and arrows rang out in unison Several explosions caused by someone unknown knocked down the already unstable stone houses The disarray of rubbles coe stones that had blocked the road caused the e maze
The map in the hands of the Westerners became a piece of disposable paper The drawbacks of their unfaroup of Heavy Ar flies without heads For a moment, they weren’t able to find a way out
Master Ja had no choice but to whistle for the Eagle Armors, for them to take off and command from the sky For better or worse, there would be someone to lead them out
The panic-stricken Western Ar who happened to touch so froate For a moment, all the Western soldiers drew their bows, all arrows pointed to the building, ready to fire, but so slowly fell down frouards to take a look and was furious to find it was another white face mask This time it was the face of a demon!
Master Ja: “…”
“Sir, we… Shall we take a detour?”
Master Ja raised his hand to interrupt hi: “His Majesty is right Gu Yun has no trump card in his hand, he can only rely on these underhanded tricks Are you all already frightened by the hed then said coldly, “Demolish this city for me, let me see where they could hide!”
However, more than one hour later, Master Ja, who razed the eround, searched in the ruins three times, finally had to admit that this Godforsaken place had wasted his countless valuable time, money and Ziliujin It truly was an empty city The so-called ‘ambush’ consisted of only two masks and an owl that had soon floay
Master Ja tightened his teeth to the point of alles? Go at full speed!”
At this ti’an to the capital, Gu Yun, as hiding under the tree, received the Qian Li Yan given by Tan Hong Fei and watched several path-finding Eagles whistling fro towards the capital
He spat out the straas currently chewing in his mouth and patted the Wind Slasher behind hirand contribution”
Tan Hong Fei asked in a low voice, “Hoas it?”
“Can you see that?” Gu Yun said lazily, “The foreigner in charge must already be dead or wounded by now The current leader is obviously unfamiliar with the area around the capital, otherwise he will not be as iles to fly around”
In the imperial city, the capital had always been strict, no one is allowed to sneak a peek at will Black Eagles dared not fly around, even in exceptional times, and they could only land at the base of the Northern Ca the Eagle’s armor
But le dared not fly was not because the Black Iron Caulation Gu Yun knew that once the Eagles flew across the border, it was easy to make contact and run into the ‘anti-air net’
Outside the Nine Gates of the Capital, there is an invisible ‘anti-air net’, built during the reign of Emperor Wu and took thirty years to co Shu Institute There were numerous hidden piers under the net, and the main commander was on the top of Qi Yuan tower
these are pillar-like structures
The reason why the building was so high was that besides providing food, drink, and entertainment for visitors from all over the world, it also played a very important role – it was the main pier of the anti-air net
There was a ‘Tian Yuan Di Fang Pavilion’ on the ‘Zhai Xing Tower’, locked up tightly behind layers of doors in peaceti Pavilion, it hadShu Institute It would create a special optical network outside the nine gates and was very tightly knitted Even at night, it would be easily be covered by the light of stars, moon, and flame Unless one had unusual abilities, it would hardly be visible to the naked eye
天圆地方, lit Round Sky, Square Earth: an ancient traditional Chinese philosophy where people believed that the sky is a rounded doround is flat This was also incorporated in their architecture
Star-plucking Tower, first mentioned in Chapter 22
This layer of optical netas 300 feet up froround and would not affect the people and anile Aruards, there would be baihong arroaiting for thele flew above 300 feet, it would touch the anti air net
The light would then be reflected back to the Tian Yuan Di Fang Pavilion, then back to the covert piers in the area of the anti air net through special ht signal and would lock on the position of the offender, shooting arrows froe, they would soon find that in the scope of the forbidden net, where there were secret piers, arroould continue to follow them inseparably like shadows
Only on New Year’s Eve, the Tian Yuan Di Fang Pavilion would temporarily close the anti air net for its annualwatch would be handed over to the guarding station on the Red Kites
“That path-finding Eagle will not be returning, the coendary anti air net in stories Under the coo up to the sky, and the position of the anti air net will change accordingly For a while, they will not knohere that mechanism had run to The closer they approach the capital, the h…”
Gu Yun whispered to Tan Hong Fei, “Give orders, tell the brothers to rest well, ill start at night The Black Eagle goes first, suppress theht Cavalry will a up the eneet yourselves trapped inside The chariots will pretend to block their path, blowing up two or three rounds then let them retreat Do not force the other party to their last resort Our troops are not strong enough”
Tan Hong Fei asked in a low voice: “Marshal, why didn’t we a to aht?” Gu Yun’s eyes widened “Is there problem with your brain?”
… Master JaFei carefully considered it for ait was quite reasonable He then asked: “Marshal, how do you know they will coht?”
Gu Yun: “It was calculated by your Yan Bei wang, fine hi It doesn’t really matter, even a small amount of his lucky money is alreadywas sitting at one side repairing the leather grip of the iron bow After fighting a long battle, bits of it had torn away No one knehere he had found a s a sers were incredibly adept, causing one to be dizzy As he was suddenly nahed at Tan Hong Fei and replied: “Either way, everything fros in the account books of the Marquis’sFei was a crude‘All co side by side in the first battle with Yan Bei wang, he had soon considered the other to be his fa this, he teased without care: “Your Highness and Marshal are as close as one If only you were a princess, we ht have another Princess tent in the Black Iron Caot, Gu Yun’s father was a Marshal and his mother was a Princess
