Chapter 1873
Late at night, in the palace of Xiliang Prince. "Cough cough cough..." Rufus Rhys sat on the edge of the bed, coughing violently, and his body was shaking. Every time he coughed, a little bit of blood would be sprinkled on the ground. "Your Majesty! The medicine is here, the medicine is here!" After hearing Rufus's cough, Li Yishuang took the medicine and immediately walked into the room quickly. Li Yishuang put down the pills and patted Rufus's back gently, her eyes full of worry and distress. After a while, Rufus Rhy's coughing finally stopped, and there was a pool of blood on the ground. His entire face was as pale as paper, and his forehead was covered in sweat.
"Your Highness, drink the medicine quickly." Li Yishuang quickly picked up the medicine bowl and handed it over with both hands. "It's too bitter. It makes me sick when I smell it." Rufus Rhys frowned, looking very reluctant. "Your Majesty, good medicine is bitter and good for the sick, drink it." Li Yishuang advised softly. "They are all dying. It doesn't matter whether they drink or not." Rufus shook his head.
"Don't talk nonsense! You will definitely live a long life!" Li Yishuang said seriously.
"Yes, yes, live a long life." Rufus smiled with relief, then looked at the soup in the bowl, frowned again, finally gritted his teeth, picked up the bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.
The Prince, who remained calm in the face of thousands of troops, drank a bowl of medicine and his whole face became distorted.
It wasn't until he took a piece of brown sugar that he let out a long sigh of relief.
"My lord, are you feeling better?" Li Yishuang picked up the white towel and wiped Rufus's sweat carefully.
"Much better." He smiled comfortingly.
Although they are all valuable medicinal materials, as time goes by, their efficacy becomes worse and worse. I wonder how long his broken body can last?
"My lord, you were injured before and haven't fully recovered yet. It's better to rest early." Li Yishuang advised.
"Can't sleep." Rufus shook his head: "Oh, by the way, what's going on with Logan and Tianba now?"
"It's not going well." Li Yishuang sighed softly: "Ji Yuanzun is so cunning and has never shown up. Moreover, the meeting location was moved to the secret base of Hulong Pavilion. Especially after Lu Zhiyuan entered the Black Gorge Mountains, he completely disappeared and has not been traced to this day."
"Black Gorge Mountains?" Rufus squinted:
" That place is right on the border. It seems that the Dragon Protection Pavilion is hidden very deep."
"Your Majesty, I think Lu Zhiyuan will rebel again." Li Yishuang said with some worry:
"If Lu Zhiyuan chooses to cooperate with Ji Yuanzun, he will design an ambush. As for Logan and Tianba, they may be in danger." "Don't worry too much." Rufus smiled.
Chapter 1874
Rufus smiled faintly: "Lu Zhiyuan was poisoned. If he wants to save his life, he must obey orders."
"What if he has a way to detoxify?" Li Yishuang asked tentatively. "It doesn't hurt to detoxify."
Rufus shook his head and said with a smile: "Lu Zhiyuan is a smart man. He knows very well that cooperating with Ji Yuanzun is to seek skin from a tiger. In the past, he had some wealth and he could rely on it. But now, he has nothing. He has nothing to worry about. He is not qualified to be on an equal footing with Ji Yuanzun. Once he loses his due value, he will only die.
But we are different. We are both descendants of the Rhys family and blood relatives. Even if he openly rebels, we can still give him a way to live. If this time It's not a problem to atone for his sins, perform well, and give him a lifetime of wealth. In this case, what do you think Lu Zhiyuan will choose?"
"My lord, this is the truth, but people's hearts are unpredictable. What if Lu Zhiyuan doesn't know what is good and what is wrong, what should you do if he makes this one mistake?" Li Yishuang asked.
"If this is the case, Lu Zhiyuan is simply seeking death." Lu Wanjun said calmly.
"I don't care whether Lu Zhiyuan dies or not, but Tianba and the others..." Li Yishuang hesitated.
"Don't think too much. They are no longer children. They have long been able to take charge of their own affairs. This annihilation of the Dragon Protection Pavilion is a test for them. If it can be completed successfully, I can safely hand over West Lucozia to them." Rufus Rhys smiled.
His two sons are not ordinary people. Although he is young, his ability is even worse than what he was back then. As long as you practice a little bit, you will become something great.
"Don't look so grim. I've already let Hong Fu pass. If there is any accident, Hong Fu will keep them safe." Lu Wanjun comforted. "It turns out that the prince has been prepared for a long time." Li Yishuang breathed a sigh of relief.
"They are all my sons, how could I not care? I just hope that they can take charge early, so Hongfu will not help them until the moment of life and death. Whether they succeed or fail depends entirely on themselves." Lu Wanjun said.
"Your Majesty is strategizing, but I worry too much." Li Yishuang nodded.
She didn't care whether she could destroy the Dragon Guard Pavilion or not. She just wanted her son to be safe. That's all. ...
Black Gorge Mountains, inside a farmer's residence. Logan sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and rested, quietly waiting for the results of the investigation. After an unknown amount of time, the door suddenly opened.
Lu Tianba and the Grade-A spy walked in dusty. "Brother, there's news!" As soon as Lu Tianba entered the door, he sat on the kang. At the same time, he took out a map, opened it, and began to draw carefully: "Our detectives launched a carpet search along this area, and finally An anomaly was discovered in a dangerous place, and it is here!" Lu Tianba pointed to the center of the map and continued: "This is a huge valley, with one front and one back, and two entrances and exits.
The entrance in front is in front of us. In West Lucozia, the rear exit is on the enemy's border.
This valley spans two countries. Of course, this is not the point. The most important thing is that our spies found that at the entrance of the valley, there was another wall. A high and thick city wall. Various defensive firepower is also deployed on the city wall.
Judging from the scale, it is at least the level of a war fortress. If you guessed correctly, this should be the secret base of the Dragon Protection Pavilion. However, due to the location of the Dragon Protection Pavilion, There were too many hidden sentries, and our spies did not dare to approach them rashly. After confirming the location, they immediately returned to report." After listening,
Logan nodded: "Well done, we finally found their base."
"Brother, the base has been found, but this location is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It will be very difficult for us to capture all the Dragon Guard Pavilions." Lu Tianba said seriously:
"The most important thing is that we are not sure about the city wall. What's going on behind the scenes? How many soldiers and horses are there in the Dragon Guard Pavilion? If we attack rashly, we might suffer heavy losses!"
Chapter 1875
"Tianba, it seems that you have learned a lot in the past few years in the army."
Logan smiled and said: "You are right. You cannot attack rashly. You must at least find out the situation first. There are many experts in the Dragon Protection Pavilion. The spies of the palace can no longer go deeper, so I decided to personally Take a trip."
"Brother, isn't it too risky?"
Lu Tianba was a little worried: "You are the future King of West Lucozia. You must focus on the overall situation and cannot go into danger alone. Let me go. I am a martial arts master after all. If you really encounter danger, I can be there in time." Get away.”
"no!"
Logan refused: "Although your strength is not bad, you are still unable to face the top masters of Dragon Protection Pavilion. If you are discovered by Ji Yuanzun, you will not even have a chance to escape."
"But......"
Lu Tianba was about to say something, but was interrupted by Logan raising his hand: "It's nothing but, I have full command of this operation. I order you to stay here and wait for news from me."
After Logan finished speaking, he quickly went out with the Grade A spies.
Although Lu Tianba was worried, there was nothing he could do.
He knew in his heart that only his eldest brother could sneak into the Dragon Protection Pavilion base.
Now he only hopes that the eldest brother can progress smoothly.
Under the leadership of the spies, Logan traveled quickly over the mountains and ridges, and soon approached the base of Dragon Protection Pavilion.
As Lu Tianba said, there is a tall city wall standing in front of the base.
The city wall lies across the entrance of the valley, like an insurmountable chasm.
He checked carefully and found that there were many secret sentries from the Dragon Protection Pavilion lurking around.
If it were an ordinary expert, he would have been discovered before he even got close to the city wall.
"You hide first and don't alert others. I'll go there alone."
He whispered to the spies, then took a step forward, turned into an undetectable black shadow, and jumped to the top of the tree.
There are lush trees and green grass all around. Although it can be well hidden, it can also easily block the view.
Although there are many hidden sentries in the Dragon Protection Pavilion, with Logan's cultivation level, he can easily avoid them.
Tonight, the moon was dark and the wind was high. His figure was silent, like a ghost, passing over the tops of the big trees.
Its speed is so fast that it almost disappears in the blink of an eye.
Not to mention at night, even in broad daylight, it is difficult to detect.
At this moment, it is two hundred meters away from the city wall.
A spy from the Dragon Protection Pavilion wearing night clothes was quietly lying on the stone, observing the surrounding situation.
Logan's body was completely integrated with the surrounding environment. As long as it doesn't move around, you may not be able to spot it even if you look closely.
"Whoosh~!"
At this time, the Dragon Guard Pavilion spies felt a cold wind blowing above their heads.
Subconsciously, he looked up, but there was nothing. The sky was so quiet that I couldn't even see a single bird.
"No. 3, have you noticed anything unusual?"
The Detective from Dragon Protection Pavilion put his finger on the headset and asked in a low voice.
A hundred meters away from him, there was also a spy hidden.
The two sides have become a cornerstone, and can look after each other, watch each other, and monitor the scope, with almost no blind spots.
"It's calm, nothing unusual." came the response from the headset.
"It's probably because I've been worrying too much, so I'll continue to be on guard." The Dragon Guard Pavilion spy didn't say much, and his eyes began to scan around again, not missing any signs of trouble.
Little did he know that Logan had already passed over his head.
After Logan avoided all eyes and ears, he went directly along the mountain wall, crossed the city wall, and then entered the secret base of Dragon Protection Pavilion.
When he saw the scale of the base, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
He didn't expect that there was such a large military base hidden in this desolate place, with all the facilities inside.
Tanks, aircraft, artillery, all kinds of light and heavy weapons, everything you need.
And judging from the military camp buildings, there are at least 50,000 soldiers and horses in this base.
With so many heavy weapons, coupled with a large number of elite soldiers, this base can be described as impregnable.
If we attack rashly, West Lucozia Palace will definitely suffer heavy losses.
"Fortunately, I came here myself, otherwise we would have suffered a big loss." Logan frowned slightly.
Who would have thought that such a powerful force could be hidden in this wilderness?
No wonder Dragon Guard Pavilion dared to carry out assassinations so blatantly. It turned out that they were confident.
Being in such a war fortress, there is no fear of invasion by foreign enemies.
The most important thing is that this place can be attacking when advancing and defended when retreating.
If anything happens, Ji Yuanzun can immediately flee abroad to avoid the disaster.
"With the defense of this base, the only way for the Black Dragon Army to defeat it is with more than 100,000 army. But the problem is that if the Black Dragon Army is to be mobilized on a large scale, it will definitely not be able to hide it from the eyes and ears of the Dragon Protection Pavilion. Once the enemy is alerted, all previous efforts will be wasted. Now is the time What should I do?”
Logan frowned slightly, thoughtfully.
It would be too difficult to attack by force, and the price would be high.
To defeat the Dragon Guard Pavilion at the minimum cost and as quickly as possible, there is only one way - beheading!
Directly kill the senior officials of the Dragon Protection Pavilion headed by Ji Yuanzun, leaving the entire Dragon Protection Pavilion without a leader, and then kill them all in one fell swoop.
However, the beheading operation has a big drawback, that is, it requires a powerful assassination team, and everyone in it must be a martial arts master.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to implement.
Of course, the most critical point is Ji Yuanzun.
As the fifth strongest man on the world-shaking list, there is no doubt about his strength.
If Ji Yuanzun cannot be killed first, it is doomed to fail.
After all, it all depends on Lu Zhiyuan, whether he can successfully poison him?
"That's right! Lu Zhiyuan!"
Logan raised his eyebrows and immediately began to search around the base.
The signal on Lu Zhiyuan has been lost, so there is a high probability that he should be hiding in this base.
He needs to test and see if Lu Zhiyuan will act as planned?
Or, did the other party betray the Xiliang Palace?
In the dark night, Logan's figure was like a ghost, erratic.
Wherever it passed, it did not cause any disturbance, and it perfectly avoided the patrol team and all the eyes and ears around it.
"who?!"
Just as Logan was passing by an arsenal, a soldier seemed to notice something, suddenly became alert, and at the same time pulled out the knife from his waist.
