    ?

    The Yunwu Mountains, which run north-south and stretch for hundreds of miles, are located in the western part of the Jinxiu Plain, dividing the entire plain into two large blocks: east and west, one large and one small.  The mountains are towering into the sky, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow all the year round. It is difficult for birds to cross, and it is impossible for manpower to cross.

    　　In the entire Yunwu Mountains, there is only one passage, connecting the two Fairview Plains in the east and west.  This passage, originally a grand canyon running east-west through the Yunwu Mountains, is located in the middle of the mountains and divides the entire mountain range into two sections.  In addition, there is no road to the east and west Splendid Plains.  The Tianlao, the second largest city in the Shengyuan Empire after the capital, is located in the canyon.

    　　On the third day after the assassination, the prince, Haobo and his party arrived at the majestic and majestic Tianlao City.

    　　Strictly speaking, Sky Prison City is not a real city at all, because it only has a wall at the exit of the western canyon.  And this city wall runs across the north and south of the canyon, which is equivalent to blocking the entire passage. Merchants and pedestrians pass by, all entering and exiting through the three gates on the left, middle and right on the city wall.  And the entire Sky Prison City is located in the entire canyon behind the city wall.  Therefore, the city wall of Tianlao City is more like a line of defense.

    　　 Tianjian, the third emperor of the Shengyuan Empire, resolutely made a decision to build a city at the mouth of the canyon in the Yunwu Mountains under the situation that the Mowu Continent invaded directly into Tianque City and nearly fell it.  , is the empire's second line of defense against the invasion of the Mowu Kingdom. The name of this city is called Tianlao!  Therefore, Tianlao City is an old city with a long history of nearly a thousand years.

    　　In order to build this city, especially the line of defense at the mouth of the canyon, Emperor Tianjian directly used the manpower, material and financial resources of the whole country, and it took eighteen years to build it. It was not completed until the year before his death.  .

    　　In eighteen years, with the support of the whole country's manpower, material and financial resources, a city wall was built, and its firmness and majesty can be imagined.

    　　The entire city wall is 40 meters high and 30 meters wide. The length from north to south is the width of the canyon, which is a total of 42 miles.  The construction of the city wall is all made of huge stones measuring ten meters by ten meters.  Such a project can be described as extremely vast.  After it was completed, because of the decree of Emperor Tianjian, each generation of emperors and guards paid great attention to it, and strengthened and repaired it to varying degrees.  Since the Tianlao City was built, it has not been damaged by any wars, so it has remained a majestic prison for nearly a thousand years.

    　　Under the city wall is a moat with a width of nearly 30 meters drawn from the Tianwai River.  On the city wall, defensive buildings such as Mumu Camp and Rolling Stone Fort are arranged in strict order; there are countless defensive equipment such as stone launchers and gunships.

    　　Tianbao City has only one wall. The east of the city directly borders on the East Jinxiu Plain. The wide and flat road leads directly to Tianjing City, the capital of the empire.  If the Mowu army hits the city of Tianlao, the troops, equipment, and supplies of the entire Shengyuan Empire will be continuously transported in the shortest possible time.

    　　In the face of such a city wall, such a strict defense system, and such abundant rear resources, any human general who wants to break through it can be called whimsical.

    　　Because Tianlao City is the only passage guarding the east and west Splendid Plains, there are countless merchants and travelers passing by under the city wall every day, driving Tianlao City's economic prosperity and prosperity.  There are 300,000 households in Tianlao City, and the east of the city is located in the farms and towns on the Jinxiu Plain, with a population of one million. It is the second largest city in Shengyuan in the empire after Tianjing City.

    　　Haobo and a hundred loyal guards had seen the majesty of Tianlao City before, so their faces were the same. This is the first time they have seen Baihu and Xuanwu, although they have already seen Tianque City, Xiling City and other tall cities  , but when he saw the sky prison, his face was still slightly pale in shock.

    　　 Right outside the gate of Tianlao City, Marquis Huicha, the marshal of Yuanwu Legion in Tianlao City, with dozens of entourages, was waiting to greet him.

    　　Marquis Huicha once served as a general under the prince's tent of the Shenwu Army, and he always respected the prince. Therefore, although the prince has lost power, and he is the emperor's confidant general, he did not avoid suspicion and went outside the city to greet him in person.

    　　Seeing that Marshal Huicha was waiting for him, the prince ordered the convoy to stop, got out of the carriage, and led Haobo and others to greet him.

    　　Marquis Huicha stepped forward, bowed and said, "Huicha has met Marshal, how is Marshal always in good health?"

    　　Hao Bo finally met the little emperor's confidant and trusted general, the princes of the empire, and the marshal of the second line of defense in Tianlao City.  The expression of anger and prestige, the complexion is slightly dark, and the wind and frost are accumulated between the eyebrows, and the overall feeling is trustworthy and reliable.  ?　　Xia Yan continued: "Look, this plain is under the Yunwu Mountain. The Yunwu Mountain is steep, so the spring water, ice and snow water flowing down are very fast; and every summer and autumn, the rain is very abundant, so  Nine times out of ten, the Tianwai River burst its embankment and overflowed. Every time the embankment burst, the hundred miles in front of Tianlao City became a vast ocean, and the villages and walls were completely washed away. Generally speaking, the terrain of this hundred li area is relatively  It is low-lying, and every time there is a flood, it always lasts forever. Over time, no one lives in this area."

    　　Hao Bo nodded and listened to Xia Yan's narration, and when he heard that "every time the embankment breaks, the hundred miles in front of the Tianlong City become a vast ocean, and the villages and walls are all washed away", suddenly a flash of light came into his mind  Shan suddenly came up with a wonderful plan, shouted, jumped off the horse, turned three somersaults on the ground, looked up to the sky and let out a burst of laughter: "God's will, God's will! Ha, ha, ha"

    　　Xia Yan didn't know that what she said made her sweetheart so excited, so she looked at him very strangely.

    　　Happy Haobo immediately hugged Xia Yan, kissed the two cheeks with all his strength, and said happily: "Yan'er, you are really my lucky star! Haha, tell me, what do you have?"  Do you want your wish to come true? I decided to do my best to satisfy the cute little swallow’s wish! ——Let’s just say, even if you want the stars in the sky, I will pick them for you.”

    　　Although Xia Yan didn't understand why Haobo was so happy, and she was there to help, she was very happy when she heard that she could make a wish at will, and clapped her hands and said: "You said this, you can't do it."  Repent!"

    　　Hao Bo, who was about to fall into the trap he dug himself, didn't realize it under the ecstasy, and said generously: "A man, what is there to regret? Tell me, what wish do you have?"

    　　Xia Yan said: "I want you to be my dance partner, and accompany me to the big dance in Tianlong City hosted by Uncle Huicha tonight! You promised, don't play tricks!"

    　　 "Gudong!" Someone passed out on the ground.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
