Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 104 Dingyang Tower, the Storm

The golden soft armor is called the black gold soft armor in the martial arts world. It is made using the immortal way of refining weapons and the finest spiritual materials.

Such treasures are extremely rare in Yongtianzhou.

It is rumored that this armor can withstand a blow from a mid-stage Xiantian realm cultivator.

Zhang Yuan was not polite. He put away his armor and sword, put on the soft armor inside his outer robe, stretched his muscles, and felt that the armor was indeed light.

Moreover, this armor can be infused with true essence, which can enhance the power of defense.

After studying the "Art of Forging Weapons", Zhang Yuan gained a different understanding of various tools.

The forging methods, refining techniques, and its hidden characteristics can all be easily seen through.

He tightened his armor, clenched his fists slightly, and mobilized the spiritual energy in his dantian to penetrate the soft armor.

"Om-"

A light golden halo flowed on the soft armor, and the feeling of blood running through it and meridians solidifying made Zhang Yuan smile.

It was not known whether Princess Fengming was unaware of the uniqueness of this armor or was truly generous, as she actually gave him the black gold soft armor.

This armor, when he is wearing it, is infused with spiritual energy and true essence, and can block even the middle stage of the Innate Realm.

Coupled with his golden body skills, the power of the initial stage of the innate realm cannot break his defense.

In this way, Zhang Yuan only needs to see the peak of the innate realm and the grandmaster, and he doesn't need to pay attention to anyone else.

He raised his hand to grasp the scabbard of the Fengling Knife, pressed the handle with one hand, and exerted force with his five fingers.

"Zheng——"

The long sword was unsheathed, and the cold edge hit my face.

Forged from cold iron, tempered through thousands of hammerings, pure forging and tempering, this sword has unimaginable toughness.

Good knife.

If this knife were to be sold on the black market, it would be worth a hundred taels of gold.

Thinking of the priceless value, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head.

He knows that his vision needs to be improved.

Don't just focus on money.

A princess who can easily take out such treasures must be really rich.

In fact, it was because he was staying in a small border town like Luyang Prefecture, and he came from a humble background and lacked experience.

Otherwise, he would understand that compared to the relics and fake pills he obtained, the golden silk soft armor and the Phoenix Feather Knife were nothing.

Two long swords were hung on the left side of his waist. Zhang Yuan held the two swords in one hand and walked out of the gate.

In the courtyard, two teams of guards in black martial robes were already in formation. Qi Yue and Qin Yuqing, dressed in tight-fitting clothes, were guarding the carriage frame.

There were also two middle-aged men with the aura of the innate realm, one of them carrying a thick knife on his back, and the other holding a stick that reached his eyebrows, both standing next to the frame.

When they saw Zhang Yuan coming, many people turned their heads.

Last night, when the strong men from Prince Gu’s Mansion arrived, Zhang Yuan was sitting in front of the stage. If a war broke out, he would be the first to die.

Such loyalty is worthy of respect.

In addition, there were singing girls from Luyang Prefecture in the team, and when they talked about the righteous Mr. Zhang Erye of Luyang Prefecture, people admired Zhang Yuan even more.

"Captain Zhang."

"Brother Zhang."

"Brother Zhang."

Everyone either clasped their fists or nodded, and Zhang Yuan responded with a smile.

"Captain Zhang," Qin Yuqing lowered her voice as she saw Zhang Yuan approaching, "If anything changes, take the princess out of the city."

"The Black Knights will meet us outside the city."

Zhang Yuan nodded, walked to the side of the carriage and moved forward with it.

The road from Yuntai Garden to Dingyang Tower is flat.

In the eyes of the guards, the surrounding streets and alleys are wide, with few pedestrians, and very safe.

But from what Zhang Yuan saw, there were at least several Xiantian realm masters lurking and following him.

Many of the pedestrians on the road were not from Toyota County, so their identities could be imagined.

Qin Yuqing's face was solemn, his left hand tightly gripped the scabbard, and his right hand pressed on his left arm.

There was a crossbow in her sleeve.

It was given to her by Master Tao for self-defense.

When the carriage arrived in front of Dingyang Tower, a team of warriors armed with swords stood beside the stone steps.

Feng Lan stepped down from the carriage. The middle-aged man in green robes standing beside the stone steps stepped forward and bowed slightly: "I am Jiang Qing, and I am here to meet the princess on the orders of the Major General."

Jiang Qing glanced at them and said softly, "My young general is waiting upstairs with only one personal guard. The princess's guards will stay downstairs." These words made the faces of the guards beside Feng Lan darken.

Qin Yuqing frowned and looked at Feng Lan.

If Gu Changshi were still here, with his protection, the princess's safety would not be a big problem.

But at this time, there was no top expert around the princess, so no one else could help.

"Princess Princess——"

Qin Yuqing had just opened her mouth when Feng Lan raised her hand to stop her.

"Captain Zhang, thank you for your help." Feng Lan looked at Zhang Yuan and spoke softly.

Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "Yes."

Seeing Zhang Yuan and Feng Lan walking into Dingyang Tower, Qin Yuqing had a complicated expression.

Qi Yue on the side clenched the sword in his hand and said nothing.

Jiang Qing looked at Zhang Yuan's back, his eyes narrowed slightly.

As the commander of the Zhenxi Army's secret agents in Toyota County, he knew Zhang Yuan.

However, he did not expect that a mere Wu Wei would be qualified to accompany the Princess of Daqin to meet his own Major General.

It seems that what we knew before, that Princess Fengming was short of guards, was true.

"Everyone, you can feel free to rest downstairs." Jiang Qing turned to look at Qin Yuqing and the others and spoke.

Qin Yuqing nodded and waved her hand, and a group of guards escorted the carriage to the side of the corridor and stopped.

Qin Yuqing and Qi Yue stepped onto the carriage and got into the car.

In the carriage, a middle-aged female cultivator in a green robe sat, and next to her was Xiao Tonglin, whose qi and blood were restrained.

……

Dingyang Tower.

Feng Lan walked in the five-story pavilion at a moderate pace, and every step she took seemed extremely solemn.

It was as if she was doing something extremely sacred.

Going up to the fifth floor, you will feel a sudden open space.

In front of the window, a young man in jade-white brocade clothes and a jade belt around his waist was gazing into the distance with his hands behind his back. An old man in a black martial arts robe was standing by the window with his hands folded.

"Prince Ouyang." Feng Lan spoke.

The young man by the windowsill turned around with a smile on his face: "Feng Ming——"

His voice paused, and he looked at Zhang Yuan standing by the stairs: "It's really you."

Ouyang Xu had always guessed that Zhang Yuan would come to protect Princess Fengming, but he didn't expect that Zhang Yuan would actually come.

Fenglan couldn't help but look back at Zhang Yuan.

Why does everyone in Toyota County seem to recognize Zhang Yuan?
These people, who should have no chance of having any contact with Zhang Yuan, all had very strange attitudes towards Zhang Yuan.

What secrets does this acting captain of the Wuwei Yamen in Luyang Prefecture have?
"My dear Zhang, the prince and the princess have something to discuss in detail. You and I should leave for now." The old man standing by the windowsill looked at Zhang Yuan and raised his hand to signal.

Zhang Yuan nodded and followed the old man to the other side of the corridor.

"My young general has very few peers he looks up to, and Zhang Xiaoyou is one of them." The old man said as he stood on the edge of the corridor, looking at the streets and the river below.

Zhang Yuan's face remained calm as he watched the pedestrians walking in the streets below. "Major General Ouyang is truly a rare talent. I, Zhang, am incomparable."

Even though Ouyang Xu is no longer his opponent now, Zhang Yuan will always remember the scene outside Toyota City when he was unable to withstand Ouyang Xu's attack.

"Haha, if we have the chance to serve in the same court, young friend Zhang and my young general can help each other." As the core servant of the Ouyang family, Mr. Guo knows a lot of things.

Zhang Yuan chuckled and turned to look at the two people standing in front of the window talking behind him.

They are indeed a good match.

The two men whispered softly, their words and actions were gentle, like old friends, and there was no atmosphere of confrontation between the two countries at all.

In fact, it is enough for these two to meet here.

"what……"

Mr. Guo’s voice rang out.

Zhang Yuan looked at the streets below, where more and more people were gathering.

"Young General, Princess, we should not stay here for long." Old Guo's face showed a serious expression, and he spoke in a deep voice.

There were more figures in the streets below than the guards they had stationed at the foot of Dingyang Tower.

"Enemy attack——"

A loud shout rang out from the stone steps outside Dingyang Tower.
