"Put down your weapons! Raise your hand and surrender!"

"Put down your weapons and surrender!"

“…”

After Yan Xiaotian finished speaking, the guards of the Yan Mansion led by Yan Kuang and Yan Xiaoyi also began to roar, and the neat roars resounded around the Yan Mansion.

"Don't believe it, the Yan family is the most cunning and deceitful. If you put down your weapons, you will definitely be punished by them. Now you may have a glimmer of life when you follow me to rush out." Hearing these roars of persuasion, Portman felt a chill in his heart and quickly spoke out to comfort the soldiers under his command.

"If you continue to fight stubbornly, then I will deal with you for treason." Yan Xiaotian spoke again.

On the one hand, he can survive by putting down his weapons and surrendering, while on the other hand, he resisted stubbornly and was finally punished for treason. It can be seen which one is right and who is not.

However, no matter how these soldiers were moved, no one dared to surrender first. After all, these soldiers still knew the truth that the gun shot the bird.

If Portman goes crazy in danger, the first one who surrenders will be dead. So although these soldiers already have the idea of ​​surrender in their hearts, no one dares to show it first. They just kept scanning Portman who was guarded by their personal soldiers in the center with strange eyes.

Portman is not a fool. After being swept away by hundreds of people, he naturally understands in his heart that the morale of the army has been lost.

Facing the approaching guard of Yan Mansion, Portman was in a hurry and pulled a personal soldier and ordered: "You, lead your brothers here to stand firm. I will ask for help now. As long as you stick to me until I come back, I will be rewarded to get you up to three levels in a row."

In normal times, the temptation of upgrading to three levels in front of any soldier will make it difficult to resist, but what is the situation now? As long as you are not a fool, you will understand that Portman is planning to escape, but he is afraid that once he leaves, the already unstable morale of the army will be completely disrupted, so he finds a scapegoat to stay for him and die.

The personal soldiers figured out this, but they dared not speak out because they knew very well that if he did not agree to Portman, Portman would definitely kill him directly.

In desperation, the personal soldiers bowed and said, "As for orders, I hope the general will go and return quickly."

Portman was overjoyed when he heard this. Taking advantage of the fact that Zhou Qingfeng behind him was still a distance away from him, he greeted more than a dozen personal soldiers and took a look at the gap and ran out from the side.

Because his movements were so fast, most of the soldiers didn't even know that their chief general Portman had already escaped.

Portman's actions naturally did not escape the eyes of Yan Xiaotian and Zhou Qingfeng, but from the overall perspective, it was useless to catch a Portman. The most important thing at the moment was how to attack the palace and rescue Lance III and his men, so Yan Xiaotian and Zhou Qingfeng were too lazy to chase Portman, so they simply let it die.

Yan Xiaotian's decision made Portman not expect at all. He thought Yan Xiaotian would send someone to chase him, so he ran away from the army and ran towards the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion. In his opinion, he would be safe as long as he arrived at the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion. Unexpectedly, Yan Xiaotian had no intention of chasing him.

What Portman did not expect was that the personal soldiers who were forcibly left to command the remaining soldiers immediately raised their hands and surrendered to Yan Xiaotian as soon as he left.

After someone took the lead, the remaining soldiers quickly threw the weapons in their hands on the ground, put their hands on their heads and squatted on the ground honestly, without saying that they would surrender.

After confiscating all the weapons of the rebels present, Yan Xiaotian took Yan Xiaoyi and Yan Kuang walked to Zhou Qingfeng together and bowed: "Thank you for your help. If the dean hadn't appeared in time this time, I'm afraid the consequences of my Yan family would be unimaginable."

Zhou Qingfeng took off the black cloth covering his face and smiled and said, "The old marshal is serious. Even if I am not here, with the wisdom of the old marshal, only a thousand rebels will not be the old marshal's opponent."

The two looked at each other and smiled, with a hint of relaxation on their faces.

"By the way, what should we do next? Desk has captured the palace, and it is impossible for us to compete with him head-on by the fact that we are now." Zhou Qingfeng asked.

"Next, let's look at Nantian, Su Yang and the others." Yan Xiaotian looked up at the east and said meaningfully.

"oh?"

Zhou Qingfeng glanced at Yan Xiaotian, then tentatively said: "The Royal Yan Legion outside the East City Gate?"

Yan Xiaotian nodded, and then continued: "Now our task is to stay here and beware of Desk's next move."

"Stay here? Don't we go to support Brother Su Yang and the others?" Bert suddenly interrupted and asked.

Yan Xiaotian shook his head, "It will be more helpful to the entire situation than to directly support them."

While saying this, a secret that Yan Shengyan told him not long ago slowly emerged in Yan Xiaotian's mind.

......

Before a continent.

Yan Xiaotian followed Yan Shengyan to the forbidden area in the clan.

"Old ancestor, the war is coming soon. Do you have any advice for me to the forbidden area?" Yan Xiaotian looked inside the forbidden area while looking at Yan Shengyan curiously.

Although he was the former marshal of the Chiyan Empire and the previous head of the Yan family, this was the first time he had come to this forbidden area. To be precise, if Yan Shengyan had not agreed, Yan Xiaotian would not have dared to come in.

After all, every descendant of the Yan family knows that this forbidden place is Yan Shengyan's retreat. If no major incident occurs, no one is allowed to come here to disturb Yan Shengyan. Violators will be expelled from the family at the worst and executed on the spot.

"Have you read the book "A Brief History of the Flame Empire"?" Yan Shengyan said this for no reason.

Yan Xiaotian was stunned and nodded and said, "Of course I have read it. The "A Brief History of the Flame Empire" describes the glorious deeds of the first generation of the Yan family. As a descendant of the Yan family, he naturally dare not forget the deeds of his ancestors."

"Since I have read it, I think you will have a question in your heart. No, it should be said that everyone who has read this book will wonder why my Yan family chose the land under our feet as our residence after the rise of the Yan family. You must know that this land was deserted at that time."

The so-called barren land refers to the extremely lack of elemental power on a piece of land and is not suitable for cultivation. After staying in a barren land for a long time, let alone the progress of strength, if you can maintain your original strength without regressing, it will be a blessing from the gods.

"Yes, I hope my ancestors can solve their doubts." Yan Xiaotian said respectfully.

Indeed, Yan Shengyan was right. Hundreds of years ago, the Yan family made great contributions to the establishment of the Flame Empire. However, when the monarch at that time imparted meritorious officials, the Yan family gave up several areas with rich elements and chose this barren land under their feet. Anyone who has read the book "A Brief History of the Flame Empire" is confused about this, and among them, the descendants of the Yan family are the most curious.

Some people even suggested that the ancestors of the Yan family discovered treasures in this barren land and wanted to take them as their own, but this statement was quickly regarded as nonsense. The reason is very simple, that is, no one has ever heard of any treasures that can last forever in a barren land.

As time goes by, coupled with the efforts of several generations of Yan family heads for hundreds of years, the barren land at that time was finally transformed into a region where people could practice normally. During this period, I don’t know how much manpower and material resources the Yan family had invested.

Since this area returned to normal, no one has delved into the reason why the Yan family chose this place back then, except for the descendants of the Yan family and some scholars.

"Actually, I am ashamed. The reason I chose this place at that time was because I discovered a magic circle here." Yan Shengyan said slowly.

Magic circle?

Yan Xiaotian looked at Yan Shengyan with confusion. What kind of magic array is worth the Yan family's efforts for him for a hundred years. You should know that in the first hundred years, none of the Yan family's generations had reached the fifth level. This situation also made the Yan family live in such a storm during that period.

After pausing for a while, Yan Shengyan continued, "The arrangement of this magic array is very complicated. I have studied the effect for hundreds of years before I roughly came to a conclusion that it should be used to seal a certain item, and the sealed thing may be a product of the Age of the Gods."

Product of the Age of the Gods!

Yan Xiaotian was shocked. In this era when the holy rank was enough to dominate the Arad continent, any item related to the Age of the Gods could be said to be priceless.

"I am also studying this magic circle for years. I have reached this level without realizing it. It is only one step away from the holy level. It can be considered as gains and losses." Yan Shengyan said self-deprecatingly.

"So that's it. Thank you for your ancestors for solving my doubts." Yan Xiaotian said respectfully.

Yan Shengyan shook his head and said, "I'll bring you here. Telling you this secret has no other purpose, but I suddenly have a feeling that this sudden rebellion in the empire may be related to this magic circle."

When Yan Xiaotian heard this, he thought quietly for a while and said, "I understand my ancestors, I will arrange manpower now to protect the safety of the forbidden area."

"No, your mission is to quell the rebellion of the empire. I will protect the forbidden area. I will just tell you that I may not take action in the battle later." Yan Shengyan said.

"I understand, then I'll take it off, my ancestor."

......

"Old Marshal, Old Marshal, what's wrong with you?"

His thoughts gradually retracted, and Yan Xiaotian then found that Zhou Qingfeng and other groups were surrounded by him, with concern on his face.

"It's nothing. I'll send you a god, which makes everyone worry. I'll send me the order. Everyone rest and recover their fighting spirit and magic, and respond to Desk's counterattack at any time." Yan Xiaotian said loudly.

"yes."
