Huang Yuchen walked forward aimlessly, a group of people behind him slowly followed, no one spoke, in the face of the current situation, everyone had their own thoughts in their hearts, but they hadn't completely thought it out yet.

Suddenly, Huang Yuchen's heart moved, and the energy obtained from Spring Lake Yongcheng fluctuated, and Huang Yuchen immediately understood in his heart that the Spring Lake Yongcheng forces that he had ordered to assemble near the Red Rainbow Sect were already nearby.

Passing through the snowfield near the teleportation peak and entering the jungle again, Huang Yuchen saw the three people waiting here at the edge of the jungle.

These people were all dressed as ordinary business travelers, and from the outside, they looked no different from the ordinary people of the Prayer Heaven Empire.

"I've seen adults. After the three of them saw Huang Yuchen, they immediately knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully.

Huang Yuchen nodded slightly, found a wooden stake at random and sat down, and ordered all the feeders to patrol the vicinity, and then the others gathered together.

"It's too cold to make a bunch of torches. Zhuang Lexian rubbed his arm, looked around, quickly found a wooden stick that dried up very quickly from the snow, and set it up in the middle of everyone, then looked at Huang Yuchen, and smiled at him.

Huang Yuchen didn't speak, one of the three stepped forward, rubbed his fingers slightly, and a bright flame appeared, which easily ignited the wooden sticks stacked together.

Seeing this situation, everyone was stunned, the method used by this person to ignite the fire was the fire attribute fighting spirit, and Huang Yuchen was the most familiar with this.

Except for himself, the only Fire Dou Qi cultivator he had seen was his senior uncle Xu Xiuping, and his special Dou Qi was very rare, and only Huang Yuchen might not be surprised by this.

The bonfire was ignited, and the temperature around it quickly rose, including Huang Yuchen and others, a total of eleven people gathered in front of the bonfire, Huang Yuchen looked at the three of them, and said softly: "Let's talk about yourselves first." ”

The three of them immediately got up, clasped their fists at Emperor Yuchen, and said, "My lord, my subordinate Liang Zuo is responsible for collecting information about the Heavenly Prayer Merchants. ”

"Ye Yuan, a subordinate, is responsible for collecting information on the officials who pray for the sky. ”

"Yao Fa, a subordinate, is responsible for collecting information about the Qitian army. ”

"Merchants, officials, soldiers. Huang Yuchen said softly, with an indescribable smile on his face, and said, "Spring Lake Yongcheng is really powerful, which means that the basic information of Qitian is in your hands?"

"Back to my lord, it's not like that. Liang Zuo first said: "There are few people outside the city, and there is not much support, so the development of our power is very small, and we can only obtain some information that is not critical, after all, the city cannot arrange a large amount of support." ”

"Yes, my lord, most of us are inquiring about the news in the context of business, and we have not yet been able to infiltrate the core forces of Qitian. Ye Yuan said.

"Before, the imperial capital still had our power, but because of the rebellion of the three kings, there was no one in the imperial capital, and it was almost uprooted, and now the imperial capital is extremely tightly blocked, and it is difficult to sneak in again. The last Yao said.

"How many manpower and silver taels can be called in your hands?" Huang Yuchen didn't bother with these things, after all, this was the power that Chunhu Yongcheng had arranged outside, and Huang Yuchen also knew very well that they were only a small part of the forces that Chunhu Yongcheng had arranged outside.

"Lord Hui, the Chamber of Commerce I am in charge of has fourteen of our own people, and the rest are hired local people who pray for heaven, and the silver taels that can be called are about 700,000 taels. Ye Yuan spoke first: "Because of the heavy snowfall, the Chamber of Commerce has been blocked, and many people have recently been dismissed to preserve their strength. ”

"It's a similar situation on my side. Liang Zuo said: "I am responsible for collecting information on merchants, and recently all the merchants in the Qitian Empire have almost come to a standstill, and only a small number of chambers of commerce that transport grain are still active. There are thirty of my own people who can be called upon here, but most of them are ordinary people who have not cultivated in their bodies. The silver taels that can be called are about two million. ”

"Ten people, four hundred thousand. Yao Fa didn't say much, and directly reported the number.

Hearing this, Huang Yuchen nodded lightly.

Of course, he asked these questions for his purpose, all the way to Qitian must be difficult and dangerous, and he can't easily reveal his identity, with so many people, wanting to hide his whereabouts is the first problem. Relying on the Chamber of Commerce to cover is the best way.

"I just came out of the city, and I don't know much about the current situation, so you can tell me briefly. Huang Yuchen said: "Be as detailed as possible." ”

When Liang Zuo heard this, he immediately got up and said: "In terms of merchants, the situation of trade in the whole country has almost stagnated before praying for heaven, and now most chambers of commerce can only operate simple trade between cities and cities, because of the heavy snowfall in the sky, covering the entire range of praying for heaven, it is also a little difficult to collect intelligence, but one thing is very prominent, now a large amount of grain and grass is gathered in the southwest direction, that is, near here." ”

Huang Yuchen frowned slightly when he heard this, Liang Zuo's information was not very detailed, but he could still hear something from it. Huang Yuchen opened his mouth again and asked, "The direction of the imperial capital, how is it?"

"Near the imperial capital, there is no business travel. Liang Zuo said: "After the new emperor ascended the throne, all provinces stopped sending caravans to the direction of the imperial capital, and the external reason was that the road was impassable. ”

"How can the grain and grass in the imperial capital be supplied?" Huang Yuchen immediately frowned, and said, "After a few months of war, the imperial capital is afraid that there will be no grain in store for a long time. ”

"This ......" Liang Zuo's face was a little embarrassed, and he bowed and said, "My subordinates don't know." ”

When Huang Yuchen heard this, he didn't say anything, but his brows furrowed even tighter, after the heavy snow closed the mountain, business travel was blocked, and the reason for this was terrain, but it was obvious that this was done deliberately by the surrounding provinces, and their purpose was to make Huang Yuanwu have nothing to do.

Huang Yuchen's mind turned quickly, if he stood in Huang Yuanwu's point of view, there was not enough food and grass in the city, what could he do. The first thing that can come to mind is to call it from the East Palace.

Dongwangfu was the last border palace to participate in the rebellion of the three kings, but after experiencing the battle of the enclave and the crusade in the north, Huang Yanghui took away some military horses to reclaim the southern border, plus the increase in the direction of the god capital, I am afraid that the food in the Dongwangfu is not much.

"Go on. Huang Yuchen said while thinking about it.

"The subordinate officials are responsible for intelligence collection, after the new emperor ascended the throne, the direction of the imperial capital is unknown, but a lot of things have happened in the province. Ye Yuan immediately said: "The Three Kings Rebellion began, many officials were ready to move, when the Three Kings Rebellion was carried out to the white heat, almost all the provinces have completed the cruel alternation of power, including assassinations, seizures of power, army mutinies abound, many officials who were left in Qitian were killed in this turmoil, and to this day, most of the provinces in Qitian have formed one or more independent forces that coexist, ostensibly attached to Qitian, but secretly accumulated strength. ”

"I can attest to that. Yao Fa added: "According to simple statistics, all the provinces in Qitian are increasing their troops, and there are countless people who have been forcibly conscripted. In addition, the Western Wangfu Army has once again entered the hinterland, and now occupies a province, and its power is also expanding rapidly. ”

"Xiwangfu?" Huang Yuchen frowned, he should have thought of it a long time ago.

"It has been confirmed that it is the West Wangfu Army. Yao Fa said: "Three months ago, the West Wangfu suddenly appeared in the hinterland of Qitian, gathered the remnants to make friends with the henchmen, and the previous rebellion of the three kings, this time the purpose of the West Wangfu is probably to take it step by step, a little bit to eat away at the power of Qitian, once it happens, the Emperor of Qitian is in danger." ”

Huang Yuchen frowned tightly, but he didn't say a word, the situation was more complicated than he thought, Qitian seemed to be calm, but under this calm, so many things had happened, and now Qitian has actually been divided into many forces, and no one wants to get a piece of the pie in this turmoil.

And the forces of the Western Palace, which were not completely wiped out at the beginning, are the largest among them.

"Also, there is reliable information. Ye Yuan spoke again at this moment and said, "The new Emperor Yuanwu of Qitian has broken with the Eastern Palace, and the Eastern Palace, which is now completely under the control of the third son of the Eastern King, Emperor Yanghui, has completely broken away from the relationship with the Imperial Capital of Qitian. The current Imperial Capital of Qitian is not an exaggeration to say that it is a lonely city. ”

Huang Yuchen's face was tightly furrowed, and although he didn't say anything, his heart was already [5200] turbulent.

In fact, he had already prepared in his heart, something would definitely happen between the Eastern Wangfu and the Qitian Emperor, after all, the Eastern Wangfu was already under the control of Tianqing City.

Huang Yuchen is anxious to go back quickly, and because of this, if he doesn't solve the problem of the East Palace, his eldest brother will not have much direction to develop, and the key to solving the problem of the East Palace is in Huang Yuchen.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the token that Tian Shun had left in his body, but the token had been taken out by Yin Ziping, and Huang Yuchen still felt relaxed at that time, but now it seems that he has lost the only way to contact Tianqing City, and he has completely cut off the way to quickly solve this matter.

Everything was pressed up at once, Huang Yuchen's mind was a little confused, he stood up, frowned and walked a few steps, trying to straighten things out, but the more he thought about it, the more chaotic it became.

"It's such a mess, haha, it's kind of funny. Zhuang Lexian smiled on the side, and said to Huang Yuchen: "Don't worry, since it is so chaotic now, as the prince of Qitian, you will do everything right, if you want, you can take a city first, accumulate strength, and then march in the direction of Qitian." ”

"I think it's possible. Yin Cai, who had never spoken much, spoke at this moment: "If we go in the direction of the imperial capital like this, so many of us will inevitably be discovered." ”

When Huang Yuchen heard this, he stopped, he hadn't finally made up his mind, he set his eyes on Jiang Mingjie and Yuan Dongyun on the side, and met Jiang Mingjie's gaze.

"I want to ask what is the situation in my hometown. Jiang Mingjie said softly.
