Chapter 455: Possible enemies
Huang Yuanwu's face was calm, but his heart was moving rapidly. He was quickly analyzing the situation in front of him and looking for a solution.
From the perspective of Emperor Yuanwu, he did not want to see Qi Tian fall into civil strife, and of course he did not want the Northern King Emperor to be Qi Tian's new emperor. He himself did not have the intention to compete for hegemony. Huang Yuanwu's purpose was very simple, to support the country, to let the Northern King retreat, kill Yang Qin, and support the bloodline of the previous emperor as the emperor.
However, since the rebellion of the Three Kings and Yang Qin occupied the imperial capital, the gates of the imperial capital have been closed and the garrison is tight. Huang Yuanwu didn't know what happened in the imperial capital. When Huang Yongning got into the imperial capital, it was because the attack between the three kings had not yet begun, and the imperial capital had not fallen into absolute martial law. Now, Yang Qin should have been in a coma at that time.
If we had led our troops into the imperial capital decisively, there would have been no such things in the future. But there was no if in the world. Now that things have come to this, we can only do everything step by step.
Now, for the Eastern Prince's Mansion, the most important thing is not how to solve the Northern Prince's Mansion, but to figure out who the mysterious force that sneaked into the Eastern Prince's Mansion today is. This force is not small. It can accurately know the time when Huang Yuanwu left the camp and the time when he left Shuinan City, and set traps on the road along the way to delay time. At the same time, it can summon tens of thousands of troops to pounce on the Eastern Prince's Mansion's military camp in such a quick time to implement the plan. If Huang Yuanwu had not been quick to become aware of this possibility, the enemy's plan had been realized, and the consequences were unimaginable.
No matter who the forces behind this are, there are few forces exposed to sight who are mysterious, thoughtful, and have extremely targeted work and are very quick to obtain information.
Huang Yuanwu first ruled out the chiefs of several surrounding provinces. Although they held the army, the Qitian Empire Army was separated. It was extremely difficult to unify their thoughts within a province. Moreover, a position of official positions was at most five years in one place. After five years, regardless of their merits and demerits, they would have to be transferred. This greatly reduced the actual control of these provincial governors over the local area. The imperial capital was in chaos for several months and no one jumped out to take advantage of the situation, and they also relied on it.
Huang Yuanwu was a little confused about the civil forces. The first thing he thought of was that the sect world with powerful strength had many sects. They formed a loose alliance and did not invade each other with the empire. This relationship has always been well maintained. However, the imperial capital was in chaos, and Huang Yuanwu had heard from his master Xu Xiuping that the alliance in the sect world had long been in name only, and many sects were mixed with the major forces of the empire, intending to obtain greater benefits.
However, today's affairs must not be done by the sect. One reason is that there are not so many people at all. People in the sect world mainly focus on cultivation, and people with cultivation physiques are a minority. If tens of thousands of cultivators are dispatched, not to mention the Eastern Palace, it is probably very difficult to resist the Eastern Palace and the Northern Palace. Moreover, even if all the sects in Qitian are united together, even the sects in the sect are included, it is hard to say whether there can be 10,000 people.
Secondly, if the sect world takes action, they obviously have a simpler way. Whether it is a sneak attack on Huang Yuanwu or an sneak attack on Huang Zhengchu, they can kill with one blow. Although there are not many people in the sect world, there are many top masters. Huang Yuanwu has seen a real strong man in this world. He deeply understands that with his own cultivation, it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of such people.
At this moment, only three people sat quietly in the tent. Huang Yuanwu was pondering, while Liu Yi and Ding Jiang had a gloomy face.
They also knew that they had encountered some things that could not be solved immediately, but these things were like blocking stones. No matter how the Eastern Prince Mansion was to go, they had to solve them.
After a long time, Huang Yuanwu looked up and let out a sigh of relief. He had already thought of a solution that was not a solution, and as of now, he could only do this.
"What did the little prince think of?" Ding Jiang saw Emperor Yuanwu look up and immediately asked softly. When it comes to strategy, Ding Jiang can only be considered an outsider. He is indeed a little slow to deal with such things that even the enemy cannot see.
Huang Yuanwu glanced at Ding Jiang, nodded gently, and said, "I thought of some things, but it may not help."
"You little prince might as well talk," Liu Yi, who was standing beside him, hurriedly said.
"I think, arrange some people to enter the hinterland of Qitian to investigate this matter, focusing on the wealthy families and prominent families in various places, as well as some sects that have frequent activities. Things in the imperial capital are not as simple as it seems. There must be other people behind Beiwang and Yang Qin. These things are complicated and not so easy to solve." Huang Yuanwu sighed lightly and said that this was not a solution.
"But..." Liu Yi frowned slightly when he heard this, and said, "The distance water cannot quench the near thirst. The problem we are facing at present is not to find out the commander behind it, but to deal with the contradictions in front of us. If there is always trouble behind it, there will be a fierce battle between the Eastern Prince's Mansion and the Northern Prince's Mansion. In my opinion, the little prince, it is better to send troops to the deep mountains at this moment, eradicate the enemy troops there, and capture a few prisoners, and you should be able to find out one or two."
When Huang Yuanwu heard this, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I have considered this matter, but now when he goes out, he is afraid that he can't find anything. Even if he finds it, he will definitely not be able to ask anything. When he catches the captives, they will definitely say that they are from the Northern Palace. Moreover, don't you think there is any problem with the enemy troops fighting against us?"
"The combat effectiveness is not strong." Ding Jiang replied: "I can clearly feel this point that although the soldiers of our Eastern Prince's Mansion have experienced many battles and are all tigers and wolves on the battlefield, if they face both elite enemies, they will not be able to easily defeat them. These enemies today are far from being elite."
"And." Huang Yuanwu looked at Ding Jiang with a brilliance and said, "You haven't forgotten the enemies we encountered near the pass before."
Ding Jiang immediately thought of a team of enemy troops who were defeated on the pass. From their bodies, he could see that these people had marks similar to the destruction of a small country, but although there were these clues, they were now unchecked.
"Ding Jiang obeyed the order." Huang Yuanwu did not continue to explain, and looked at Ding Jiang with a serious expression. Ding Jiang immediately stood up solemnly, bowed his hand and said in a deep voice: "The last one is here."
"I ordered you to calm the generals and ease the development of the situation. At the same time, two brigades were sent to the mountains and forests to clear all the enemy troops in the mountains and capture prisoners."
"Ode to the Lord."
"Liu Yi."
"The last one will be there."
"I ordered you to lead a team of elite soldiers into the provinces on both sides to explore the news and investigate the situation of major families, presidents, and sects. If you have any news, please report it as soon as possible!"
When Liu Yi heard the order of Emperor Yuanwu, hesitated for a moment before bowing to the point of saying, "The last general is the order."
Huang Yuanwu saw Liu Yi’s concerns and then spoke: “There should not be too many elites. You can choose the available people in the entire battalion, including my guards, or you can choose them.”
"The last general is the order."
"As long as you follow the orders." After saying that, Huang Yuanwu waved his hand gently, letting the two of them retreat, and then sat on the chair, closing his eyes to rest.
The two generals bowed their hands and retreated silently, and each acted on their own.
At this moment, the horizon turned white and a new day began.
Outside the camp of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, there was a mess. Two teams of elite soldiers rode their war horses and quickly passed through the messy land and entered the woodland ahead.
Huang Yuanwu gently pinched the bridge of his nose and felt a little soreness. He sat in his seat, looking at the brighter sky outside the tent, and fell into deep thought again.
...
The territory of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, Pingjin City, and underground secret room.
Huang Yuchen is still in a coma. Two days have passed since the last storm and the wind is calm.
Qi Zhengye and Liu Xing'an have been guarding the secret room and practicing quietly. For two days, no problems have occurred.
Huang Yuchen was still the same as before, unable to be in a coma, his breath was stable and long, and his face was rosy, and there was no problem except that he had not woken up. He was in a coma for more than a month and had not yet entered the rice, but his physical condition was very good, as if he had reached some kind of balance.
No one was surprised about this. Once a practitioner enters meditation, he can use the surrounding natural power to supplement his body's consumption. Normal people need daily activities and require more energy, so they need to eat. But Huang Yuchen is different. He has been in a coma, but his martial arts are constantly operating. The absorbed natural power can completely resist his consumption, so there is no need to eat.
Qi and Liu have also experienced this state, but they have not been as long as Huang Yuchen.
The underground secret room is just under the front hall of the city lord's mansion. It requires a special secret passage to enter. It is very ventilated here and you can see the sun during the day. Overall, the environment is pretty good and it is a good place to practice at any time.
Since Huang Yuchen entered here, Yu Sheng and Xiao Yibo have never been here. I wonder what these two are busy with.
In the early morning, the sun shone in through the ventilation holes, illuminating everything in the secret room. Qi Zhengye slowly opened his eyes, breathed a deep breath of turbid air, and then stood up and blew out the candles in the room.
After several days of continuous practice, his cultivation has become more diligent and his fighting spirit has become more solid. He may break through to the level of warrior at any time, but his actual combat power can be comparable to that of ordinary warriors, thanks to the inheritance of the sect.
After Qi Zhengye woke up, Liu Xing'an also opened his eyes gently. He first checked Huang Yuchen's condition and found that there was no change. Then he started chatting with Qi Zhengye.
At this moment, Huang Yuchen, who was in the chaotic space, was still suffering from endless loneliness.
The energy in the space gathers again and again and again, but when it breaks out, it is still at a loss.
After so long breathing, Huang Yuchen was already numb. In this space, he could not feel the flow of time, the veins of his body, or even the beating of his heart. Everything seemed to be still, except his thoughts.
He could no longer remember how many times he had used Dou Qi to fill the entire space. After breathing this cycle, he gently opened his eyes. He clearly saw that the space that seemed to have completely turned golden, suddenly there was a bright color. The golden bright color slowly merged into the space. The next moment, in front of Huang Yuchen's eyes, the golden Dou Qi that had originally filled the entire space suddenly disappeared, scattering without a trace, as if it had never appeared before.
Huang Yuchen smiled gently. He had seen this situation many times. He could already accurately know how much fighting energy this space could carry, and he needed to breathe in a few days. This attempt completely confirmed his idea.
Whenever he reaches a certain level, the fighting spirit in the space will suddenly disappear, disappearing without a trace. Huang Yuchen himself can master this level.
After figuring this out, Huang Yuchen finally came up with a method, a way to break through this space and go out.
