Chapter 650: Active
Huang Yuchen and Lu Zhihui snuggled up to each other and sat there for a long time. It was not until Huang Yuchen's stomach made a few gurgling sounds that Lu Zhihui chuckled and came out of Huang Yuchen's arms.
The two looked at each other with a faint smile on their faces. At this moment, they were tacit.
Lu Zhihui turned around and went to find food for Huang Yuchen. Huang Yuchen looked at Lu Zhihui's back and thoughts were everywhere in his mind.
He thought of many things, and it has been a long time since he calmed down and thought about problems. Since he lost Ning Yi, Ye Guan and the rest of his life, he has never found such a completely quiet moment to think about many things.
After experiencing so many things, he made temporary decisions, such as the fact that he came down from Chihong Sect and immediately entered the wilderness jungle.
The Wild Jungle, in Qitian territory, belongs to Wenyi Province. The mountains covered by wild jungle are marked as Jinning Mountain by Qitian. This place is rarely visited and basically belongs to a place with no one around thousands of miles.
During Qitian's long conquest, it is rare to encounter such a thousand miles of uninhabited area, including the wild jungle. Qitian also sent people to investigate the nearby situation, but there were no natives in the wilderness ridges. This place was marked as a homeless land by Qitian, and no new cities were planned. Even the Western Prince's Mansion, which was in charge of the Western Regions, did not choose to open a mansion near the wild jungle.
Huang Yuchen was very familiar with Qi Tian's history. Such things were extremely rare in the entire three hundred years of Qi Tian's history. According to the records he saw from classics, there was probably no arrangement to recognize jurisdiction or open up the territory. Except for the private areas of the Four Princes' Mansions, there was only this area. When Huang Yuchen saw this, he was curious, but after analyzing the nearby terrain, he also understood why the Qi Tian high-level officials did this at that time.
Qitian's territory is too large, and the population includes more than 100 million. Just the distance from the East Prince's Mansion to the West Prince's Mansion, if Huang Yuchen had not been taken away by Chihong Sect using the teleportation array, saving most of the distance, even if he had been traveling at the fastest speed of a war horse, he would have to run for more than half a year without considering the rest and other issues in the distance. Such a large-scale territory would be very difficult to manage.
For three hundred years, Qitian's conquest has been ongoing and its territory has been expanding. After most places are occupied, officials and troops will be stationed to garrison and open up land. However, in recent years, Qitian's territory has reached a level that the emperors cannot reach. The four royal palaces each have grown bigger and controlled the entire Qitian territory. This is also the problem that has always troubled the Qitian royal family.
In order to suppress the development of the Four Princes' Mansions, the imperial capital issued many orders, but also made corresponding treatments. Taking advantage of the great characteristics of Qitian territory, there will be a large buffer zone in the territory absolutely controlled by Qitian.
For the Eastern Prince's Mansion, it is the vast wilderness outside the Jincheng, and for the Western Prince's Mansion, it is the Siteng Shadi and Jinning Mountain.
But Huang Yuchen couldn't figure it out a little. If there was really a city in the wild jungle and their unique civilization, why did the Qitian Empire not discover it during the conquest? Moreover, the sand city outside the forest has existed for decades. Could it be that in these decades, no one who is loyal to Qitian discovered this city and reported it?
Huang Yuchen was very confused before and had never thought about this. The East Prince Mansion had been doing things all the time, and Huang Yuchen himself had encountered many incredible things, so his perspective of seeing things naturally changed. Now, it is indeed a bit strange to think about this matter from another perspective.
Such a large area is really not sent to guard the place. If it is to suppress the Western King's Mansion, a Siteng sand land is enough. The path from the Eastern King's Mansion to the Qitian Emperor's Capital can directly see layers of passes through the desert. This is the restraint made by the Qitian Emperor's Capital; but for the Western King's Mansion, the places that can obviously be cultivated and built a city were given up. If the Western King's Mansion army had the intention of rebellion, it could actually go straight in, which was contrary to common sense.
The documents recorded in the classics are very clear. Huang Yuchen also accepted this explanation at that time, because this place is very far from the Eastern Palace, and he is not very concerned. Now that he is here, he realizes that things are not simple.
There seemed to be some tacit understanding between the Western Prince's Mansion and the Qitian Emperor Capital, both of which avoided the vicinity of the wild jungle, as if there was something nearby that made them avoid it.
This is absolutely abnormal. With the ability of the Qitian Empire and the great talents and strategies of the kings of the empire in history, how can they not see the strategic location of this place? Why do they all choose to avoid this place? There must be a problem with this.
Thinking of this, Huang Yuchen felt that the Chunhu Yongcheng that Lu Zhihui mentioned was definitely not a good place. It was precisely because of this that Huang Yuchen decided to go in and see what was in this place that allowed the Qitian Empire to avoid.
Lu Zhihui lit the candlelight in the house, and the dark cave suddenly lit up, interrupting Huang Yuchen's thoughts. Lu Zhihui began to be busy in another house, preparing food for Huang Yuchen. He sat quietly on the rattan chair and looked at Lu Zhihui's busy back, and his mind was filled with thoughts.
I don’t know when I can fully possess this tranquility. Maybe by then, all the secrets have been untied, but will I still feel like I am now...
Huang Yuchen did not tell Lu Zhihui about these reverie in his heart. Lu Zhihui prepared the meal and sat opposite each other with smiles on his face and finished the meal quietly.
It has been two days since he closed his eyes. Huang Yuchen felt a little tired. He said something to Lu Zhihui and went to bed to sleep. In the past month, he has become accustomed to having Lu Zhihui by his side, and he doesn't need to worry about almost everything in the cave. This feeling made him find the feeling of living in the royal palace ancestral hall when he was young, and he accepts it calmly.
He fell asleep in a drowsy way, and there were too many thoughts in his mind. Huang Yuchen was not in the mood to meditate and enter into meditation. Moreover, all kinds of formations are now attached to him. Even if he does not deliberately attract the power of nature, the energy in his body will be attracted by the formations on his body and slowly recover. When he wakes up in the morning, the energy of his physical energy should be almost restored.
The formation on Huang Yuchen's body was transformed by him. Because he was completely transparent in his carving of the talisman, he also saved the worry of being seen. At this moment, the formation on his body included two small source gathering arrays to absorb the nearby natural forces; and a small fire-free array to separate the fire elements in the white energy in his body. The talismans of the two formations were slightly changed by him and turned into completely self-operated, which was also one of his inventions during this month's recovery period.
This kind of self-similar formation is not uncommon. The formation discovered by Emperor Yuchen in the Chihong Sect belongs to this category. The formations that were secretly imposed by others before and also belong to this category. They are all formations that can be independently operated by the caster, and it is relatively simple to carve.
Huang Yuchen's talent in formation is beyond doubt. Although he has not studied it carefully for a long time, even his current level of formation is far above his cultivation level. There are very few people who practice formations. This is not because people do not look down on the ability of formations, but because there are too few people with qualifications to cultivate formations. Huang Yuchen's current level has reached a medium level in formations. At his age, he is enough to shock the world.
Seeing Huang Yuchen lying down and slowly falling asleep, Lu Zhihui smiled softly, then packed up the dishes on the table and blew the candlelight in the cave.
It was cloudy outside and the cave was pitch black. Lu Zhihui stood beside Huang Yuchen, listening to his rhythmic breathing, his eyes flashed, and he didn't know what to think about.
A faint blue energy drilled in and out between Lu Zhihui's hands. This strange energy was the source of Lu Zhihui's combat power, but at this moment, she seemed to obviously suppress something. She clenched her silver teeth and her breathing gradually became rapid.
After a while, her breathing finally stabilized. When she opened her eyes again, Huang Yuchen's breathing was still very rhythmic. It was obvious that she was asleep. Lu Zhihui's mouth bent, she suddenly smiled, then she lifted Huang Yuchen's quilt and crawled in.
Huang Yuchen, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt something cold penetrated into his arms. At this moment, his body became a little hot because of the rapid transformation of fire attribute elements. A cold object approached him, and he almost subconsciously hugged him.
Lu Zhihui was suddenly hugged by Huang Yuchen, and her heartbeat was like a war drum in front of the formation, almost popping out of her throat. She stretched out her hand, gently stroked Huang Yuchen's hair, then closed her eyes and kissed her.
A cold feeling came into Huang Yuchen's body, making him feel very comfortable. Later, this cold feeling even penetrated into his mouth. Huang Yuchen, who was in a ignorant state, sucked hard, and the cold feeling became even more, almost suppressing the heat in Huang Yuchen's body, making him feel very comfortable, and then completely fell into a drowsiness.
Lu Zhihui hugged Huang Yuchen and felt the warmth on the man's body, but soon, this passionate feeling disappeared. Huang Yuchen no longer took the next move, but fell asleep deeply. Lu Zhihui moved her lips away and looked at Huang Yuchen's face up close, not knowing whether she should laugh or cry.
If anyone who knows Lu Zhihui knows that she will do this, she will definitely be shocked to the ground. If these people also know that Lu Zhihui has done this, the man slept to death in her arms. When his eyes fall to the ground, an indescribable hatred will arise in his heart.
There was that person who would sleep to death with such a beautiful woman holding her, which was simply a waste of resources, especially because the woman took the initiative to sacrifice herself, and she was even more eager to do so. But this happened to Huang Yuchen, and Lu Zhihui actually felt that it was very normal.
After sighing softly, Lu Zhihui didn't have the next move. At this moment, Huang Yuchen hugged her in his arms tightly. This feeling made her very comfortable. Leaning in Huang Yuchen's arms, Lu Zhihui felt the long-lost safety, which was exactly what she wanted.
In this way, the two of them hugged each other and fell asleep deeply.
Outside, faint snowflakes floated on the sky again. This time, unlike the heavy snowfall last time, there were few snowflakes, but the surrounding temperature was falling rapidly.
In the severe cold and in the wild jungle, Huang Yuchen and Lu Zhihui hugged each other and fell asleep. Both of them were immersed in their respective dreams, feeling extremely safe and comfortable.
