The situation before the imperial capital was unpredictable, and in the territory of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, Yu Sheng and Xiao Yibo have not had a good life recently.

Since Huang Yongning disappeared and before the newly appointed officials took office, some minor problems were raised from the food and grass supply of the Pingjincheng garrison.

The baggage convoy that was supposed to arrive two days ago only arrived today, which caused some deficits in the originally calculated food and grass. This seemingly insignificant little thing aroused the rest of his life's alertness.

When Huang Yongning was there, he could command twenty cities and allocate various materials. He could control all the instructions at one hand, so he did not need to worry about the supply issues of the troops for the rest of his life. However, Huang Yongning's disappearance directly led to many problems such as chaos in the internal management of the Eastern Palace, untimely allocation of materials, and lax control.

This is inevitable, because the twenty cities of the East Prince Mansion were originally divided into four parts, which were previously managed by the four major city lords, and then unified by the East Prince Mansion, and the operation was very normal. However, in recent days, the East Prince Mansion has been constantly in progress, and the four city lords have been drawn out, especially Wuxingcheng, which is under Ye Guan’s control. Although Ye Guan also left behind the original team responsible for commanding the big and small matters in Wuxing City, various problems have also arisen due to the unknown whereabouts of Ye Guan. In addition, the recent expansion of the East Prince Mansion has had a great impact on Wuxing City. The control of Wuxing City has become a major event for Huang Yongning for a time, and it has not been calmed down until recently.

Huang Yuanwu's final order has been issued, and all the officials provided by Huang Yongning were approved. When Huang Yongning left, he left a detailed list. The appointment of these people could directly solve the impact of his departure. In this main position of Huang Yongning, he recommended a person to come up. This person was named Jin Jingshan, a jinshi from the Spring Examination ten years ago. He was arranged by the new emperor to serve in the Eastern Palace. Since he arrived at the Eastern Palace, he has been with Huang Yongning and has also helped to handle some daily affairs.

This person is very capable, and Huang Yongning is very relieved about this person. He has worked in the Dongwang Mansion for ten years, and has roots in the Dongwang Mansion, marrying a wife and having children. The Dongwang Mansion also gave him high treatment. However, in terms of the structure of the Dongwang Mansion in the past, such a literary talent has little prospects for development in the Dongwang Mansion. After all, the Dongwang Mansion is mainly to develop the army, and the coordination of internal affairs is mainly based on the four city lords.

Now that the Eastern Palace is in trouble, especially when Huang Yongning is missing, Jin Jingshan is immediately revealed. As an internal affairs talent, his ability to coordinate is not inferior to Huang Yongning.

Based on the above points, Huang Yongning recommended Jin Jingshan as his relay and was responsible for coordinating the resources of the entire Dongwang Mansion.

But this person was not the direct descendant of the Eastern Prince's Mansion after all, and letting such a person take on such an important position shows the pressure that Huang Yuanwu was facing at that time.

The small problem of food and grass this time aroused the vigilance of the Yu Sheng. The actual situation of the Dongwang Mansion may be even more than he imagined. There are 150,000 soldiers outside the Pingjin City. These troops gathered to prevent changes in the direction of the imperial capital. Judging from the current food and grass situation, without any supply, the army's food and grass were still enough to consume fifteen days, and the supply was two days later, and the current stock could still consume thirteen days.

In other words, once there is a problem with the food supply of the Dongwang Mansion army, the army on the front line of the Emperor Yuanwu will only have about fifteen days to consume. If the Emperor Yuanwu cannot solve the problem of the imperial capital within fifteen days, there may be any changes in the rear.

In this regard, Yu Sheng repeatedly considered it and decided to slow down the construction speed of the wall, reduce labor consumption, and return a large number of workers to their hometowns, so as to minimize the consumption of reserved grain in the royal palace.

Not only did Xiao Yibo pay close attention to the situation in the imperial capital, but also paid great attention to the situation in Yu Sheng.

The tasks assigned to him by Huang Yuanwu have basically been completed. The 50,000 new recruits who have been newly collected have already reserved their ability to defend the city. Under the arrangement of Xiao Yibo, the 50,000 soldiers were divided into five echelons today and went to guard the other four cities under the rule of Pingjin City.

The defense circle outside Pingjin City has been further narrowed, and the soldiers stationed outside the city are all the troops of war in the East Prince's Mansion. Looking at the entire Qitian Empire, there may be only one force in the East Prince's Mansion that has such a powerful force. This is also one of the reasons why the East Prince's Mansion is very important.

Huang Yuchen has lived a stable and tense life recently. He has been constantly exercising his body every day to steadily recover his body. After several days of practice, he now does not rely on the power of the formation and can walk and run like ordinary people, but his physical strength is slightly worse than that of ordinary people.

The cultivation of Dou Qi has not yet recovered. No matter how hard Huang Yuchen tried to use the martial arts, the natural power around him seemed to be unable to see him and could not resonate with his martial arts, let alone condense the power of nature into Dou Qi. His meridians are still empty now, and there is no Dou Qi.

Huang Yuchen was also very helpless about this situation. He also asked Qi Zhengye and Liu Xing'an, but they had never encountered such a problem before, and in the end they could only be attributed to his health that had not yet fully recovered.

In recent days, the time for Qi Zhengye and Liu Xing'an to meditate and enter into meditation has gradually decreased, and they have begun to chat with Huang Yuchen as before, which has made Huang Yuchen's boring life more fun.

More than half a month has passed, and Huang Yuchen has not yet taken the step out of the city lord's mansion in Pingjin City. The main reason is that Yu Sheng has strict orders, Huang Yuchen is not allowed to step out of the city lord's mansion. The soldiers in the city lord's mansion obey Yusheng's orders, and no one dares to let Huang Yuchen go out. Huang Yuchen can understand this matter, after all, he was attacked many times when he was unconscious, so these people will inevitably make a comeback.

Since he met Zuo Xin in prison last time, Huang Yuchen has put this aside. His main experience is spent on honing his body. If he does not have any self-protection ability, he will not be able to go anywhere.

Such days reminded him of his childhood in the royal palace. Every day he was just practicing, and he didn't know all the news from the outside world. The only happy moment was that a few brothers returned from the war and told him some of their experiences outside. Now in Pingjin City, there is no other difference except that there are Qi Zhengye and Liu Xing'an around him.

Huang Yuchen didn't know about the affairs of the imperial capital, the affairs of the royal palace, and even the abducted by the second brother Huang Yongning, and Yu Sheng never told him. Every day, it was only in the evening. Yu Sheng would come to see him and say something irrelevant. As for Xiao Yibo, he had never seen him again since he met him last time.

They didn't tell themselves anything, and Huang Yuchen naturally thought that nothing big happened. This is true. Pingjin City has been very calm recently, just like the snowflakes slowly falling in this winter, quiet and comfortable.

On noon, a group of three people appeared in front of Pingjincheng camp.

The leader was a woman with a veil and a pure white mink fur cloak. From a distance, the woman seemed to be blending with the entire snow. Behind her were two men, one tall and one short, tall, powerful, strong, short, thin, and seemingly weak.

The three of them appeared near the military camp outside Pingjin City, which immediately attracted the attention of the patrolling soldiers around them. They surrounded the three of them as soon as possible, and immediately informed Yu Sheng of the news that three unidentified people appeared.

The three people surrounded by a group of soldiers were not nervous at all. The woman in the lead wrapped her whole body in a pure white cloak and looked at the soldiers of the Dongwang Mansion with a nervous expression in front of her comfortably.

The first person who appeared in the camp was not Yu Sheng, but Xiao Yibo, who was patrolling the camp. He heard that three unidentified people appeared before the military camp and arrived at the scene as soon as possible.

Since the last time Huang Yuanwu's letter was sent back and Huang Yongning's sudden disappearance, the garrison outside Pingjin City has gathered its defensive formation and strengthened patrols, and has been in a state of combat readiness. Some soldiers looked nervous and were understandable.

Although they were suspicious people, Yu Sheng and Xiao Yibo had never given the order to capture the stranger immediately when they saw him. There were only three people on the other side. Although they didn't say anything, they were not ordinary people, so the soldiers reported the matter to the two superiors as soon as possible.

Before Xiao Yibo arrived at the military camp, he saw that the woman in the lead was a moment of shock. When he looked at the outfits and appearance of the three of them, he felt that things were a little unusual.

The woman saw Xiao Yibo at a glance, then took a step forward, but was blocked by the guardian soldiers. She had no choice but to speak at Xiao Yibo and said, "I guess the senior is the Lord of City Xiao, and the junior Chihong Sect Lin Yiyi, who is ordered by the leader, will come to visit him."

"Chirong Sect?" Xiao Yibo was stunned when he heard this. He looked at the woman who was not nervous in front of him and was puzzled. Not long ago, Chihong Sect sent people to harass Huang Yuchen. In the end, three masters of cultivation fought in Pingjin City and injured several people. One of the three sneak attackers was arrested on the spot, and the other two who escaped also appeared at the gate of Pingjin City the next day, and are still in prison in Pingjin City. Now Chihong Sect actually sent people to contact Pingjin City directly, and must have some plans.

"What are the people from Chihong Sect doing when I come to Pingjin City?" Xiao Yiji raised his eyebrows, obviously he had no good feelings for the people from Chihong Sect.

"I am abrupt when I came here. I did not notify me in advance. Please forgive me." As he said that, Lin Yiyi took out an item from the cloak and held it on the palm of her hand. It was a crystal clear jade plaque. Under the winter sunlight, it was crystal clear: "This is the leader of the Chihong Sect. We are ordered by the head to take back the three junior brothers who were visiting Pingjin City."

"At a guest? What you said is light." At this time, Yu Sheng's voice came from behind. He took a few steps forward and looked at Lin Yiyi in front of him, with a cold look.
