Chapter 1026 Unannounced Visit
Shen Hao has a long robe that conceals his figure, and a black gauze hat. The two-piece suit is the standard equipment for him to go out in disguise.
In the past, Shen Hao had to do a lot of foreshadowing to avoid the eyes and ears around him. Now he doesn't need it anymore. With just one escape technique, he can avoid most of the eyes and ears, both in the open and in the dark, whether it's guards or surveillance, and with the blessing of a few talismans such as Qi Containing Talismans, he will be able to escape without warning. Under the circumstances, it is extremely difficult to keep up with his escapism.
Even among the five Golden Sword Guards sent by Fenghong Villa to protect Shen Hao this time, the master of the Yuan Dan Realm was also caught off guard and couldn't keep up with Shen Hao's breath. There was no sign of Shen Hao anymore.
Go ask those Xuanqing guards where Shen Hao went? Jin Jianwei couldn't hold back his face, and the guards of Xuan Qingwei also had ugly faces. I'm afraid it's useless to ask, and it can be seen that Shen Hao deliberately avoided everyone's sight and "disappeared" not once or twice up.
He followed Shen Hao at the very beginning, but now the three of them who were asked by Shen Hao from the commander's office to become special service guards are the calmest. He even dared to assert that as Shen Hao's cultivation level gets higher and higher in the future, these guards will be replaced by others. The number of times it is left hanging will only increase.
Just get used to it.
As for where did Shen Hao go? Who knows?
In fact, Shen Hao only stayed in Fengri City for two hours, and then turned back to the Imperial City.
Two hours is enough for Shen Hao to confess the newly acquired power to Duan Jue and the other three. Shen Hao doesn't need to worry about the specific attack, he just needs to let Duan Jue and the other three know about the 30,000 imperial troops newly assigned to him by the emperor. Duan Jue and the other need to study how to add the 30,000 troops to attack later. that's it.
For most of the two hours, Shen Hao sat on the sidelines to rest his mind, listening to the discussion of Duan Jue and the three of them, and from time to time, he could see them take out the thousand-mile note to contact the people in Huangcheng Fenghong Villa. Get Duan Jue's reply.
Some are like tool people, at least for now.
Shen Hao is not needed to formulate a surprise attack plan, let alone command in front of the battle, and even the main combat mission has nothing to do with him and the Black Flag Battalion. At the very beginning, Duan Jue and the others directly rejected Shen Hao's proposal to mobilize the main force of the front army, saying that the opponent sect of the front army had too many casualties and it was not worthwhile. In the end, if Duan Jue and the others hadn't taken out the card of the Forbidden Army, they would have decided to rush in with only the people from Fenghong Villa.
So what Shen Hao needs to be at the moment is a rope connecting the Forbidden Army and Fenghong Villa, at least he is indispensable until the procedures are completed.
Of course, both the Fenghong Villa and the Imperial Army are big targets, and any disturbance is easy to be noticed, at least not related to Xuan Qingwei who is making a lot of noise now.
So after Duan Jue and the others set up a new plan, Shen Hao began to carry out his task as a tool man, avoided his own guards, escaped to the teleportation circle, and then disguised himself as an agent of the Black Flag Battalion to teleport the circle to the emperor. City, the target is the base camp of the imperial army.
There are three base camps of the Forbidden Army. One of them is next to the imperial palace, with 5,000 troops stationed there. Their duty is to defend the imperial palace. They will not be transferred easily, and they will follow the emperor when he goes on patrol. Anyway, they are where the emperor is. Internally known as the "Upper Army".
The second place is the forbidden camp sixty miles east of the imperial city, with more than 15,000 troops stationed inside. It is also responsible for defending the imperial city, mainly assisting in the defense of the four walls, and under special circumstances guarding the official road to the east while supporting " The "upper section army" took away the emperor in crisis. These more than 15,000 forbidden troops are called "Guzhong Army".
The last place is the base camp of the forbidden army in the true sense. It is more than 170 miles away from the imperial city, and there are three official roads leading directly from the imperial city. The garrison of 90,000 troops is the largest military force in the imperial city area, and it is also the strongest military force directly controlled by the emperor. Known as the "Harpian Army".
It was already night when Shen Hao visited, and he went directly to the apse army station more than a hundred miles away from the imperial city.
Five miles away from the gate of the military village, he was stopped by Mingshao. He was released only after handing over his waist badge, and there were several cavalry accompanying him, leading Shen Hao to the gate of the army camp in a closed posture.
Along the way, Shen Hao was also secretly observing these forbidden troops, including the overt and secret checkpoints along the way, as well as the air sensor that swept or locked on him.
If we really want to say that these forbidden troops are still somewhat murderous, after all, they are the emperor's pro-army formed by the elite selected from the frontier army and the army from all sides. Moreover, the individual strength is indeed much stronger than that of the front army. Half of the few Shen Hao saw were monks at the Qi Refining Realm. So obvious.
Of course, Xuan Qingwei is also the emperor's pro-army, but it has a different function from the Forbidden Army. One is like a boning knife and the other is like a machete. But they were all knives in the hands of the emperor, so although the imperial army maintained basic vigilance for Xuan Qingwei, the heavy commander, they still had a minimum of respect, at least there was no presumptuousness in their words.
This is not the first time for Shen Hao to come into contact with the Forbidden Army. When the Ye Lansheng case was first handled, it was the "Guzhong Army" of the Forbidden Army who helped surround the mansions of Ye Lansheng and other high officials. At that time, Shen Hao had come into contact with these soldiers who were rarely seen walking outside.
In fact, to understand the strength of the Forbidden Army, you can intuitively see some clues from their armor.
The outfits of the imperial army are gray and black, divided into: cloth armor, leather armor, iron armor, and precious armor.
Among them, the cloth armor is a piece of hand, which is worn inside as a lining, and can also be worn alone during training. It is breathable, light and comfortable.
And leather armor is the most common first-line armor in the imperial army, even the lowest cooks have one.
Further up is the iron armor. First, maintenance is troublesome. Second, even if the iron armor does not cover the whole body, it is only covered by iron rings on the chest, back, lower abdomen and crotch. The rest are all leather armor, but the total weight is about fifteen catties. The weight of the iron armor is very heavy, and it is a very labor-intensive task to wear it for marching and fighting. It is definitely not something that ordinary people can wear for a long time, so ordinary soldiers cannot wear iron armor. And this thing is prepared for soldiers who have cultivation bases and are above the third level of Qi Refining Realm.
Simply put, they are the elite of the Forbidden Army.
And above the iron armor is the precious armor. Jewelry in every sense. Not only does it have a very strong protective ability that covers almost the whole body, but there are also several magic circles engraved on it, which have both buffs and defenses. It is aimed at ordinary knives and arrows, but also against spell bombardment. Even soul-like means also have considerable defensive capabilities.
And treasure armor needs at least the soldiers in the middle of the god-gathering state to be eligible to equip it. It is said that the number of soldiers equipped with treasure armor accounts for 30% of the forbidden army!
This time, Shen Hao came for these forbidden soldiers equipped with precious armor.
