Chapter 1936 Surprise and Shock

"So we have reason to suspect that the move that the Ninth Prince was taking was to pave the way for his brother, because you should know how important the location of Boyang City is! If Boyang City is controlled by the Sixth Prince, then his soldiers can easily set off from Wulong City and reach any city under the rule of the Third Prince, because Boyang City, as a bridgehead, has changed its flag."

Yu Lei sighed and said seriously: "So the third prince gave me a secret order, which is to confer Liu Peng as the prefect of Boyang City!"

"ah?"

Liu Xing looked at Yu Lei with a confused look on his face, and he did not expect that he would become the prefect of Boyang City at this time.

"Uh, Brother Yu, aren't you kidding? Let's not only let's talk about the current prefect of Boyang City, but it's a false position, because Boyang City is still the world of the city lord, and I remember that Boyang City itself has a prefect, right?" Liu Xing asked in confusion.

Baihecheng, who was standing beside him, nodded and said, "Yes, there has always been a prefect in Boyang City waiting for an opportunity, and I remember that he was sent by the new Dragon Emperor, so will the third prince be a bit arrogant if he does this?"

Yu Lei smiled and shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the prefect in Boyang City is a decoration, because everyone knows that as long as nothing unexpected happens, the lord of Boyang City will not be terminated, so the prefect of Boyang City is a virtual position in the empty position! Therefore, the new Dragon Emperor arranged for those who do not want to be rewarded but have to be rewarded to be this idle position, so the prefect of Boyang City is a wine-loving person and never thought about taking over Boyang City. Although under normal circumstances, the third prince could no longer arrange a prefect of Boyang City, of course it could do this in an emergency situation, so the third prince now wants Liu Peng, you are the prefect of Boyang City!"

Although Liu Xing really wanted to recite a poem at this time, when he thought of the respectable elder who had gone far away, he could only sigh, "It's like this, then I'm better to obey my duty. However, before this, I was just an ordinary doctor, so please give me some bad things. "

"That's natural, but I believe in Liu Peng's ability and your brothers."

Yu Lei changed his tone and said seriously: "But you should also know that although you are already the prefect of Boyang City, you cannot announce your identity until the critical moment, let alone take office in Boyang City, so you can make some preparations now, but don't make things known to everyone. When things really come to that point, Liu Peng will take people to Boyang City to replace Guo Er, and then the third prince will send elite troops to assist you in completing the task! Of course, the third prince will reward you with some things, such as various weapons and iron armor," he said.

When Liu Xing heard Yu Lei's last sentence, he immediately thought of the iron sword he found.

"I understand, but I still have one more thing to ask Brother Yu, that is, can you recognize the scrap iron sword that the New Dragon Emperor used in the past? Today, we found a hole when searching for the wine ape's nest, and then found a rusty iron sword inside. As a result, it automatically peeled off the rust after seeing the light of day again. Most importantly, we found that the herald of the iron sword was the unicorn cow emblem used by the New Dragon Emperor when he was young, so we combined the story of the New Dragon Emperor and the scrap iron sword and suspected that this iron sword was the scrap iron sword over there."

Liu Xing said as he placed the scrap iron sword in front of Yu Lei.

Yu Lei raised his eyebrows and looked at the iron sword that had rusted again and said, "Well, didn't you say that this iron sword has been automatically removed? Why is it still looking rusty now?"

"This is the thing. We suspect that the iron sword has a scabbard, and this scabbard has not been found yet, so the iron sword rusts again after leaving the wine ape's nest. However, we have roughly determined the location of the scabbard, because the iron sword will sense it when it is near the scabbard, so we can determine through different reactions where the scabbard is and how far it is."

Liu Xing explained: "But because the wine ape's nest is really dense, it will be difficult to dig for a while, so he can only wait for a day or two, and then he can take action after the logging team enters the field."

Yu Lei nodded and picked up the iron sword and looked at it: "The style of this iron sword is indeed exactly the same as the scrap iron sword created by the New Dragon Emperor back then. It is both a relatively easy-to-create style. Moreover, the New Dragon Emperor was learning the art with the scrap iron sword and did not have too high requirements for actual combat, so the scrap iron sword did not open the way, and the same is true for this iron sword. As for the unicorn cow's heraldry, it is indeed a pattern used by the New Dragon Emperor in the early days. However, the problem is that those things with the unicorn cow's heraldry have long been destroyed and lost. In short, except for the New Dragon Emperor himself, no one knows what the real unicorn cow's heraldry looks like."

"After all, the new Dragon Emperor used the unicorn heraldry for no more than two years, which means he used it more often during the period when he was a disciple. So in fact, he printed the unicorn heraldry on the scrap iron sword and a few pieces of carry-on supplies, and then occasionally painted such a pattern on the letters to his family. As a result, the scrap iron sword fell into the river, and the remaining few carry-on supplies were abandoned for a long time. It is not impossible to be burned together with those letters, because the house where the new Dragon Emperor once lived has lost many fires over the years, and has even been razed to the ground by the enemy, so those things with the unicorn heraldry have been destroyed by default."

Yu Lei put down the iron sword and continued, "So now, except for the New Dragon Emperor himself, I don't know what the unicorn cow emblem looks like. I only know that it is probably a cow with a broken horn. As for which horn is broken on the side, I don't know. However, a person who had a good relationship with the New Dragon Emperor once said that he remembered that the cow with a good relationship with the New Dragon Emperor had broken the right horn, and only the part with a sharp horn. So now on the market, the antiques claiming to have a unicorn cow emblem have the style of a cow head without a sharp right horn."

Liu Xing thought about it and said in a little confusion: "If I remember correctly, the unicorn cow emblem on this iron sword will have no left corner, and it will still be broken most of the pieces."

"oh?"

Yu Lei's eyes lit up and he said seriously: "That's right, the style of the heraldry I just mentioned is wrong! Because the New Dragon Emperor saw someone using the heraldry of a unicorn cow to deceive people, he specially found a childhood friend to release this fake heraldry style, so that the counterfeiters could be deviated. As for the specific style of the unicorn cow's heraldry, although the New Dragon Emperor did not say it clearly, the Third Prince and other royal members had actually seen the cow! Because the cow had a good relationship with the New Dragon Emperor, the family kept it. Later, after the New Dragon Emperor started his army, he sent the cow to the countryside for breeding. Therefore, the Third Prince and the others had seen the unicorn cow's old look, so they confirmed that the unicorn had lost most of its left corner."

"Oh, then this iron sword may be really the sword of the New Dragon Emperor?" Baihecheng said excitedly.

Yu Lei nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, judging from the current situation, this iron sword may indeed be the legendary scrap iron sword! Because judging from the location where the scrap iron sword fell into the water, it may indeed be washed into the nearby river channel and then obtained by the wine ape! And you also know that the existence of the emperor's aura can indeed give the items used by the new Dragon Emperor some extraordinary abilities, so this iron sword can automatically remove rust."

As soon as Yu Lei finished speaking, his wrist suddenly shook and the square table turned into five-sided tables.

That's right, Yu Lei directly cut a corner of the table with this iron sword.

"It's interesting. This rusty and unopened iron sword can cut off a table corner so easily. It's really incredible."

Yu Lei said with surprise: "So even if this iron sword is not the legendary scrap iron sword, it should be a magic weapon! So Liu Peng, what are you going to deal with this iron sword?"

The show is here!

Liu Xing replied without hesitation: "Of course, I will give this iron sword to His Highness the Third Prince! Because if this iron sword is really a scrap iron sword, it will be considered as the original owner, and it can also bring other benefits to the Third Prince; if this iron sword is not a scrap iron sword, it can play a greater role under the Third Prince, and this is also a real gift for us to meet the third prince."

Yu Lei looked at Liu Xing with a "school-taught" expression, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I will thank you for the third prince first. I think the third prince will like this gift very much."

"Then I'll feel relieved." Liu Xing said with a smile.

"But isn't this iron sword missing a scabbard and not found? So it's better to put it here for the time being. After the second batch of rewards from the Third Prince are delivered, I will arrange for someone to send the sword back."

Yu Lei said with a smile: "Liu Peng, you can really bring me surprises every time. I really didn't expect you to find such an iron sword..."

Before Yu Lei finished speaking, he saw Liu Xing take out a token.

After seeing the pattern on the token, Yu Lei's expression suddenly became serious, "Okay, you have successfully made me go from surprise to surprise now! Because do you know what the pattern on this token represents?"

Seeing this, Liu Xing immediately became serious, "I don't know, this token was dug out from near the Iron Sword, so we thought this token was extraordinary, so we brought it back to study it."

Yu Lei nodded, picked up the token and looked at it carefully. After a while, he put it down, "Yes, this token is the Shadow Guard token left by the prince of the previous dynasty!"

The prince of the previous dynasty?!

Liu Xing raised his eyebrows. Although he had known before that this token was not simple, he did not expect that it would have something to do with the prince of the previous dynasty.

Seeing that Liu Xing and others were curious and confused, Yu Lei explained: "Although the previous prince was quite incompetent, his control of the situation was amazing even the New Dragon Emperor. So before the world was in chaos, the previous prince had already noticed something, so he secretly left a lot of backhand for himself, and even his father didn't know these backhands! For example, the Shadow Guard I just mentioned was a private guard formed by the former prince himself. It is said that these Shadow Guards are orphans without fathers, so the former prince was both a lord and a father to them, so these people's loyalty to the former prince is unquestionable."

"This seems a bit outrageous to me, because the prince of the previous dynasty began to cultivate these shadow guards twenty years in advance, and they played a role when the prince of the previous dynasty needed it most, so the new Dragon Emperor almost fell into the hands of these shadow guards. Although the prince of the previous dynasty was ignorant, he knew some messy things quite well, for example, the pattern on this token was named Greek letters, and Greece here refers to a disappeared tribe in the west. This Greek tribe was once quite powerful, but because of Feng Xiu Yulin, he was jointly wiped out by other tribes around him."

"However, the prince of the previous dynasty had gathered a group of defeated soldiers from Greek tribes from there, and taught them how to use Greek letters to communicate, so the shadow guards rely on these Greek letters to convey intelligence and identify enemies and us. In short, although we know the existence of the shadow guards and have always wanted to catch them all in one place, the result was that the effect was not good because they could not crack these Greek letters; and over the years, we have discovered more than a dozen different Greek letters, and we have cracked one-third of the meanings, including the trident on this token, which means two words - assassin."

"assassin?"

Liu Xing frowned and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, this token should have fallen near Tianshui Town more than ten years ago, and then took away the wine ape or other monkeys. So I suspect that Tianshui Town was burned down because of this token and became history... But I remember that more than ten years ago, there should have been no major happening around here, right?"

Yu Lei thought for a while and nodded and said, "Yes, the Shadow Guard has indeed not made any big moves over the years, and no important figures have happened. But the problem is that the token of this pattern can rank among the top three in the Shadow Guard, and we have only gotten one before! You must know that the Shadow Guard has long been scattered in every corner under the arrangement of the prince of the previous dynasty. Usually, they only recognize tokens but not people. So if this token is not seen, it can indeed make the Shadow Guard who lost the token take a huge risk to turn Tianshui Town into the sky."
