What?
Even though he already had a guess in his heart, when he really heard Zhang Yan say this…
Hou Junji was still trembling in fear.
In the eyes of the Great Tang, in the eyes of the entire world.
No one dared to say such words.
Hou Junji would treat it as the nonsense of a madman and ignore it!
Only the State Guarding Duke Zhang Yan could say such words!
Hou Junji couldn't possibly doubt this possibility.
Because Zhang Yan had the ability to do so!
"State Guarding Duke, you mustn't…"
Hou Junji subconsciously tried to persuade her.
Unfortunately, the remaining black-robed old eunuch was even faster than Hou Junji.
He jumped out first.
"Arrogant! How dare you be so impudent!”
The old eunuch was obviously used to living a comfortable life in the palace. He watched as Zhang Yan killed the eunuch who announced the decree.
How could he hold it in and directly cursed.
"Assassinating the imperial envoy, disobeying the imperial edict, cursing the imperial court, rebelling…Men, arrest this traitor!”
The old eunuch's shout caused the soldiers surrounding the Duke's estate to become restless.
As the First Great General of the Great Tang, Zhang Yan's prestige in the army was no small matter.
For this reason, Li Er had sent 50,000 soldiers to encircle and suppress the Duke's estate!
They were all selected from the internal and imperial guards and secretly nurtured.
Only the old eunuch with the black tiger talisman could command them.
As for Hou Junji, he only had the right to command!
He could not speak at all.
"Haha! Heavenly Strategy Guards! Li Er has high expectations for you! He actually gave you guys such a name!”
Zhang Yan looked at the expressionless soldiers who only knew how to attack like machines.
With a cold smile, the old eunuch in black was so shocked that his expression changed.
"You…How did you know the name of the Heavenly Strategy Guards? His Majesty has trained the Heavenly Strategy Guards for many years, and very few people know about them…"
"How can you imagine my methods?”
Zhang Yan's eyes were filled with disdain.
"In the first year of Zhenguan, Li Er began to secretly nurture you as his last trump card to suppress those who did not obey him! He thought that no one knew about it, but he didn't know how difficult it was for him to pretend that he didn't know anything in order to protect his face!”
"You…"
The old eunuch's expression turned even uglier when he heard this!
He angrily raised the Tiger Tally in his hand.
He roared angrily.
"What are you waiting for? Attack! His Majesty has decreed that the reward for capturing this Zhang Yanzhe is ten thousand taels of silver and that he will be granted the title of Marquis of the Inner Pass, regardless of life or death!”
There was a saying that there would be brave men under great rewards!
As soon as the old eunuch in black finished speaking, there were soldiers who coveted wealth and were not afraid of death.
He rushed forward, wanting to take down Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan's expression remained unchanged.
Pa, pa, pa!
He clapped his hands.
In the next second!
A series of mechanical sounds that sounded like the buzzing of a swarm of bees suddenly erupted from the Duke Zhenguo's estate.
"Not good, it's an arrow formation! Everyone, defend!"
Hou Junji was a battle-hardened general.
As soon as the dense sound of the loudspeaker rang out, they knew what it was.
The first thing he did was to use all his strength to roar!
Following that, he quickly took down a heavy black iron shield that was as tall as a person from the horse behind him.
He turned around and protected himself and the old eunuch in black who was holding the tiger talisman behind the heavy shield.
Not long after the two of them curled up in the dark iron shield.
In the sky above Duke Zhenguo's Public House, countless black swords were like a storm.
It shot out with a bang.
It was fast, dense, and endless!
Everything happened in a flash.
Those soldiers who were rubbing their fists and planning to wipe out the Duke Zhenguo's Public House in a thunderous manner never expected this.
Initially, it seemed that the Duke's Public House was completely defenseless.
He actually hid such a terrifying killing move!
Unable to dodge in time, a large number of them were instantly shot to death.
"It's the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow!"
Hou Junji protected the old eunuch as he hid behind the black iron shield.
Although they weren't injured, the soldiers who had been shot down like hedgehogs were still alive.
His expression was ugly.
The Zhuge Repeating Crossbow was originally designed by Zhang Yan to increase the military strength of the Great Tang.
A weapon developed and improved from ancient books.
Once it was activated, it would be a barrage of a hundred arrows!
It was one of the most suitable killing weapons for large-scale group battles.
"Wait, even the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow might not be able to fire at such a high density! From the looks of it, could it be that there were tens of thousands of troops lying in ambush in the Duke's estate?”
The old eunuch who had just saved his life and almost turned into a porcupine.
At this moment, he was no longer as arrogant as before.
He looked at this scene with a dumbfounded expression and asked with a trembling voice.
" Not that many. Let's not talk about whether he can gather so many soldiers. The Stabilisation Constabulary can't hide so many people either…"
Hou Junji wished he could slap this old eunuch to death.
However, when he thought about how this person in front of him was Li Er's trusted aide!
In the end, she gritted her teeth and endured her anger as she explained to him in a muffled voice.
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat and he shouted in surprise,"
"No…he only has three thousand soldiers behind him!”
" 3,000 people? How is that possible?!"
The old eunuch exclaimed,"
"A mere 3,000 people, how could they not form such a dense and orderly arrow formation and kill our Heavenly Strategy Troop so…Wait!”
As the old eunuch shouted, he suddenly seemed to recall something, and his expression became extremely terrified.
"Could this be…"
"That's right, this is the 3,000 Raven Killer Army…State Guarding Duke's private army! Three Thousand Crow Kill!"
Hou Junji's face turned extremely unsightly.
" A legendary army that can fight against a hundred people. I didn't expect that he had already brought them into Chang 'an and hidden them in the mansion!”
Three thousand Raven Killer Army!
This was a special army that Zhang Yan had trained when he fought for Li Er.
Following him on the battlefield, he had experienced hundreds of battles!
It was truly a battlefield killing weapon that had been trained through countless life and death situations.
The three thousand soldiers were all iron-blooded warriors who could fight against a hundred at once.
Back then, when Zhang Yan had helped Li Er pacify the four directions and returned to the court.
He then brought the three thousand Raven Killer Army back to Chang 'an and waited for Li Er's orders.
In order to make it look like he didn't doubt the person he used and didn't use him, Li Er said,"
He specially gave the three thousand Raven Killer Army to Zhang Yan as his personal army.
In order to show his loyalty, Zhang Yan did not keep them in Chang 'an.
Instead, they were to be disbanded and scattered across the Great Tang to enjoy their twilight years.
At first, everyone, including Li Er, thought.
This was the three thousand Crow Killer Army that had once been so famous that all the countries in the Great Tang's Four Barbarians would tremble in fear.
It had long become history.
It was impossible for it to appear again.
Who would have thought that it would appear again without a sound!
They appeared in Chang 'an City to protect Zhang Yan.
Hiding in the dark, he killed the Heavenly Strategy Guards that Li Er was so proud of and treated as his trump card!
