In the center of the illusion, in the small courtyard where Yang Kaishan lived, Li Qiu, Xia Tao and Yang Kaishan took their seats one after another. As for Yun Jing, as a junior, he did not have enough status, so he could only stand behind Li Qiu in a polite manner.

Around this small courtyard, there are guards from Li Qiu and Xia Tao guarding the surrounding area, as well as veterans from the town's border army guarding everywhere.

Although this place is just an ordinary farmhouse, it can be described as a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. The people present alone are enough to defeat more than 95% of the martial arts sects in the world!

The center of the illusion here is isolated from the world and obviously does not have the conditions to produce candles. The torches made of pine oil are used for lighting. When they burn, black smoke rises and sparks explode from time to time.

"General Yang, you have worked hard over the years. When Jing'er went back that day, he explained your efforts over the years, General. I admired you very much and immediately reported it to His Majesty. Your Majesty also urgently convened the cabinet for discussion without stopping, which is why we came to this trip."

Li Qiu looked at Yang Kaishan with admiration on his face.

People's hearts are the easiest to change. How many people in the world can stick to an order like Yang Kaishan and others for decades?

Xia Taoxing, a junior, saluted and said: "General, your contribution will never be forgotten by me in Dali. I will remember it in the history books for future generations to admire and learn from."

This is also a disguised reward and gift. It will go down in history. Whether you are an official or a soldier, if you can get such an honor, you will have no regrets in your life.

Hearing what Xia Tao said, even though Yang Kaishan and the others felt that their efforts over the years had been worth it, they were flattered and said: "His Highness the Second Prince said something serious, how can we, rough people, be so virtuous?"

"The general and others have put in decades of hard work and can afford it," Xia Tao said seriously.

Yang Kaishan no longer dwells on this topic. How to record it in history books is someone else's business. If he mentions it again, it would be too much. He turned to Yun Jing and said: "Mr. Yun, thank you, otherwise we might not be able to do it."

I can't even wait for today. I hope you will forgive me for what happened that day and what my responsibilities were."

"General, you are worried. I understand your difficulties, please don't say that again," Yunjing said with cupped hands.

Then a few people chatted about some normal trivial matters, such as how Yang Kaishan and others have lived here over the years, what the situation is like outside, etc.

Although Yang Kaishan and the others have been trapped here for decades, and it was only a matter of the previous generation of kings when they came here, people have been arriving one after another over the years, and they have heard about the current structure of the court, and about the changes in the outside world.

I'm not too surprised, I just haven't experienced it personally.

When the conversation was almost finished, Li Qiu and Xia Tao looked at each other, then took out a piece of official document from their arms, looked at Yang Kaishan and said: "General Yang, this is a document signed and issued by the Ministry of War and the Cabinet.

Please take a look"

The document is different from the imperial edict. It does not require a big ceremony to pay homage to a formal greeting, so it can be given directly to Yang Kaishan.

The content of the document was mainly to hand over something that Yang Kaishan and the others had guarded for decades. It was jointly issued by the Ministry of War and the Cabinet, and the emperor had annotated it. There was no need to let others know about this kind of thing in public. After all, that thing,

Judging from the fact that it almost triggered a war between the two countries decades ago, it is too sensitive.

Looking at the handover content on the document, Yang Kaishan was stunned and felt extremely complicated.

After guarding it for decades, being isolated from the world for decades, from middle age to old age, and now gray-haired, after so many years of hard work, after getting this document, the mission will be over.

A piece of paper relieves their heavy burden, but why do they feel so empty inside?

At this time, Yang Kaishan's helpless feeling, no one except himself, could personally experience it.

Li Qiu and others were not in a hurry. They fully understood Yang Kaishan's mood and waited silently.

After a while, Yang Kaishan raised his head, put the document in his arms with great caution, raised his head and said with a smile: "You've lost your composure, General Li. Your Highness, the Second Prince, please don't laugh."

"It's okay, we understand," Li Qiu waved his hand.

Taking a long breath, Yang Kaishan stood up and said: "Everyone, please wait a moment."

After saying that, he turned back to the house and came to the middle of the main room of the house. There was a table made of whole tree roots. It had been there for who knows how many years. The tabletop had a patina that could be seen.

Standing in front of the table, silent for a moment, Yang Kaishan stretched out his hand and pressed it gently on the table. With a slight click, the table turned into pieces. Then, from where the table was shattered, a metal box fell out.

The box is completely black and is ten centimeters high, one and a half feet long, and one foot wide. It is made of an unknown material, but it gives off an incomparable sense of solidity at a glance.

That is what they have guarded for decades, and it has always been placed in this conspicuous position. It was just sealed in the table before, and now it is truly exposed to the light of day.

With a wave of his hand, the metal box fell lightly into Yang Kaishan's hands. Having been involved in the true artistic conception for many years, the method of photographing objects from afar was just a casual thing for him.

Holding the heavy metal box in both hands, Yang Kaishan turned around and came to the yard.

He looked at the box in his hand with great reluctance, and said in a melancholy voice: "This is what we have been waiting for for decades. I don't know what is inside. Our mission is to protect it. It has never been opened. Of course,

I don’t dare to open it either. The material of this box is special and cannot be destroyed by normal innate cultivation. The structure inside is even more complicated. If it is broken open violently, the contents inside will be destroyed..."

After saying this, he paused, handed the box to Li Qiu and said: "General Li, from now on, you will keep this thing."

"Don't worry, General Yang. We will keep this item properly and there will be no problems!" Li Qiu stood up quickly and solemnly took the metal box from Yang Kaishan.

Xia Tao looked at the box curiously and said: "I have seen this kind of box in an ant building. It is made by specialized craftsmen. A dozen people may not be able to build one in a year. It is used to hold valuables.

It is full of traps. Unless it is opened with special techniques, violent dismantling will not only destroy the contents inside, but even if the true artistic conception is not paid attention to, life will be lost. The value of the box itself is no less than ten thousand taels of silver..."

When he said this, he was expressing the value of the things stored in the box, and also saying that none of the people here might have the ability or qualifications to open it.

Taking the box, he turned around and handed it to Yun Jing. Li Qiu looked back at Yang Kaishan and saluted: "General Yang, your mission is over, but you still need your cooperation, general, to escort you all the way back."

"It's my duty," Yang Kaishan said seriously, feeling empty in his heart. Yes, the mission is over, but he can still escort something that has been with him for decades. Fortunately...

Reluctantly looking back, Yang Kaishan immediately smiled and said: "The mission is over, and the ban on drinking during the mission is also over. After coming here for decades, the wine brewed is finally drinkable. I want to get drunk today!"

"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and lifted up the dirt at the edge of the yard. He grabbed it from the air and a jar of wine flew into his hand. He patted the mud seal open and drank heavily, leaving wine stains on his face and tears streaming down his face.

He was using alcohol to express his complicated emotions.

Yunjing had always regarded himself as a little transparent, so he didn't bother them at this time. Instead, he looked at the box in his hand. It was very heavy and weighed on his hand, at least forty or fifty pounds. However, this weight was as heavy as holding a feather for him.

There is no difference.

The box is completely integrated, and you can't see any gaps if you don't look carefully. The craftsmanship is so ingenious that you must have the correct techniques and skills to open it, otherwise the box and the contents inside will be destroyed.

Of course, it is very simple for Yunjing to use his mind to see through the structure inside and open it, but he will not mess around at this time.

It is not clear what kind of cloud scene is inside, but it contains the spiritual will of an expert in mythology. At a glance, it seems as if the sun is rising in the sky and wants to destroy him, but he will not seek death.

Yun Jing guessed that unless it was allowed by the master of the Myth Realm who left this thing, ordinary people would suffer the backlash of their spiritual will if they touched it, let alone looking at it. I am afraid that only another figure from the Myth Realm could cut off the spiritual will on it.

Only then can you watch and use it normally.

After all, this is a world filled with extraordinary power, and many things are so mysterious and dangerous.

Li Qiu and the others took over this thing. Since they were on a mission, it was naturally not suitable to drink. After a brief greeting, they stopped disturbing Yang Kaishan and stood up to leave for now.

Although Yang Kaishan was expressing his inner emotions, he did not forget to ask people to arrange accommodation for Yunjing and the others.

The accommodation arranged for Yunjing and the others was naturally well-defended. After all, there was no room for error in that thing.

At night, after Yun Jing and the others left, Yang Kaishan's residence was particularly lively. The gray-haired veterans were shouting and drinking happily, laughing and crying.

The mission is over. They have been able to drink for decades, but the mission is over...

"Jing'er, go to bed early. You have to travel tomorrow. Where do you put your things? You don't have to worry about the rest. We are here." When they came to a small courtyard, Li Qiu told Yun Jing.

The next time is the most critical, until the box is delivered to Mrs. Deng. Although everything has been uneventful for decades, who knows what will happen when things come to an end? Accidents can come at any time.

The area around this small courtyard has been protected by people brought by Li Qiu and Xia Tao, and it seems that they are not planning to close their eyes for the rest of the night.

In fact, in the center of this illusion, the chance of an accident is very small. The key is after leaving the illusion, but it is always right to be careful.

However, Li Qiu asked Yunjing to rest first, but Yunjing did not do so. Instead, he hugged the box and thought for a while and said: "Master, His Highness the Second Prince, I have an idea."

"Master Yun, if you have any ideas, just say so," Xia Tao said curiously.

Even Li Qiu looked at Yun Jing in shock, wondering what his disciple was trying to do at this time.

Yunjing said: "Master, Second Prince, we are all worried about what will happen next, especially when we leave the illusion tomorrow, right? So why don't we deliver the thing to Master Deng now to avoid future troubles?"

"Mr. Yun, you mean we leave overnight? It's not impossible, but what's the difference between going back early tomorrow morning? And although the things are important, taking General Yang and the others back is also one of the tasks," Xia Tao shook his head and said

.

Indeed, there is no difference between leaving now and leaving early the next morning. After all, there are so many people and it would be too hasty to leave temporarily.

Li Qiu didn't say anything. Although he didn't know Yunjing's plans after watching Yunjing grow up, he must have had his intentions in saying that.

Just listen to Yun Jing continue: "Master, His Highness the Second Prince, the plan to take General Yang and others out of the illusion tomorrow remains unchanged, but this does not prevent us from delivering the things to Mrs. Deng in advance."

What Yun Jing was thinking was, since he could fly, why not take the risk in the safest way? Even if an accident is unlikely to happen, in case it does, wouldn't it be better to be safe?

As for his ability to fly, Yun Jing doesn't care if his master knows about it. His master treats him as his own son, and there is nothing to hide. As for Xia Tao, it's better to avoid it and don't be too high-profile in front of him. Although

The current relationship is good, but the most ruthless emperor's family, it is always right to expose less of their methods.

"It's too far to go back and forth, and we don't have enough time." Xia Tao shook his head and said. He didn't know that Yunjing could fly.

Yun Jing smiled and said: "There is enough time, I can guarantee this, we will talk about this later." After saying this, Yun Jing looked at Li Qiu and asked: "Master, do you know how to find Master Deng? Leave the things in his hands."

The essential"

Not understanding what kind of medicine was sold in Yunjing Gourd, Li Qiu said: "Of course he knows where Master Deng is. Your Majesty told me where Master Deng lives."

"That's it, Master, Second Prince, let's take the things back at night and hand them over to Mrs. Deng, and then come back. We will set off early tomorrow morning to take General Yang and the others back. By then our things have been delivered, so what else can we do?

The accident is not a big problem," Yunjing said, snapping his fingers.

"Where did you learn these random moves?" Li Qiu curled his lips and said.

Xia Tao said in astonishment: "Master Yun, are you kidding? You have to travel hundreds of miles back and forth, and you have to cross the illusion, especially at night..."

He couldn't figure out how Yunjing could get the things into Master Deng's hands in such a short time.

Looking at them, Yun Jing said: "I'm serious, Master, why don't we return to Xianyang City first, hand the things to Master Deng, and then come back and take the others out tomorrow morning. What do you think, His Highness the Second Prince?"
