The rest of his life was silent, and he didn't know how to respond to Xiao Yibo's words.

These things are secrets buried deep in Xiao Yibo's heart, and now that he has said it, some of the details are actually consistent with what is happening now.

Yu Sheng received a reply from Huang Yuanwu, and according to Huang Yuanwu's order and his recent judgment of the entire situation, he issued an order for the whole army to prepare for battle. A large part of the reason is because the Eastern Wangfu Army led by Huang Yuanwu has been attacked inexplicably several times.

Originally, Yu Sheng didn't take these things to heart, thinking that there might be some forces that had not surfaced to make trouble, in order to force the Dongwang Mansion to withdraw from the imperial capital, so that they could better take the next step.

But now after listening to Xiao Yibo's words, this inexplicable attack had already appeared as early as the beginning of the establishment of the East Wangfu.

But the rest of his life grew up in the East Palace, and the entire history of the East Palace can be said to be his own growth history. In the process, he had never heard anyone talk about it, not even rumors. If what Xiao Yibo said is true, then who erased everything that happened back then, and in what a weird way. So much so that there are so many soldiers in the Dongwang Mansion, so many Li people, after such a long time, no news has been leaked.

I think these things have never happened.

At this moment, Yu Sheng's mood fluctuated a little, and he couldn't be sure that what Xiao Yibo said was true, because even he couldn't be sure of this matter. What makes him uneasy is that what is happening in the story has a high degree of overlap with what is happening now.

Also, who are the two mysterious people in Xiao Yibo's mouth? What is the reason for the thirty-year agreement?

"Sometimes I think. Xiao Yibo continued to mumble: "The outside world has been spying on the secrets of the East Wangfu, is it related to what happened at that time?" But I don't think anyone remembers the events of that year, except for me. ”

"No one talked about it, as if no one had experienced it, including the eldest brother. It all seemed like it was really just my dream. But now......" Xiao Yibo looked at Yu Sheng, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, his whole face looked a little gloomy: "The things in my dream actually happened, the rest of my life, is this true or fake?"

Xiao Yibo's current state is a little wrong, and he can't imagine what it's like to hold one thing in his heart for thirty years for the rest of his life, and he doesn't know what words to use to keep Xiao Yibo safe. Only now, in his heart, he felt that the fog in front of him had become thicker, like an oppressive dark cloudy evening, and the heavy clouds obscured the sky and the sun, heralding the danger to come.

Under the city, the city gates slowly opened.

A group of knights rode out from Pingjin City, led by a general, carrying an eight-foot spear, followed closely by two knights, each carrying two large flags on their shoulders.

On one side is the book "East Wangfu", and on the other side is the book "Willow".

This is Liu Yuan's personal guard, according to Huang Yuanwu's request, Liu Yuan led his personal guards to the front line to support Huang Yuanwu.

Yu Sheng and Xiao Yibo didn't speak again, and the two of them stood quietly on the city wall, watching the guards led by Liu Yuan slowly disappear into the sky, and together with the sunset, all the way to the west.

The cold wind of winter blew through the Xiao Kill military camp under the city, and the cold wind was bitter. Above the sky, dark clouds began to slowly converge.

Looks like it's going to snow tonight.

......

East Palace, inside the palace.

Huang Yongning stayed in the front hall as always, dealing with letters and affairs from all parties.

Since Huang Yuanwu led the team to leave the palace, the matter of dealing with all daily affairs has fallen on Huang Yongning.

After the defeat of the imperial capital and the enclave behind, it was an unprecedented blow to the Eastern Palace. But in order to stabilize the situation, Huang Yuanwu still ordered to attack everywhere, for the future of the Eastern Palace.

When Huang Yongning took over the internal affairs of the East Palace, he found out how much damage the East Palace had caused to the East Palace after several defeats.

Needless to say, from the father led the army to the imperial capital to quell the chaos, to the death of the father, the army was dispersed, the men and horses lost tens of thousands of people, and the grain and grass of the 200,000 army were not brought back at all, almost not lost, and the grain and grass lost this time was probably equivalent to the output of the East Wangfu for a whole year. It can be said that once in the imperial capital, it consumed many years of grain and grass reserves in the Eastern Palace.

In order to support the enclave war, Huang Yuanwu transferred countless materials to the direction of the enclave, including not only grain and grass, but also all military supplies. But in the end, the entire enclave plan completely failed under the intervention of Tianqing City, and the Eastern Wangfu lost a large number of elite troops, among which the high-ranking general Kou Long was killed in battle, and the Eastern Wangfu gained nothing but 40,000 soldiers from the enclave.

The two defeats of the war have consumed the material reserves of the Dongwang Mansion for nearly ten years, and if it were not for the expansion of the treasury by this year's bumper grain harvest, the soldiers of the Dongwang Mansion may be hungry now.

In terms of money.

Since the beginning of the enclave, the imperial capital has entered a turbulent stage, the foreign trade of the East Wangfu has almost been cut off, and the Rongbao City, which used to enter the gold in the past, has slowly become a crowd, because the situation is unstable, a large number of pairs in the direction of the imperial capital are no longer trading in the direction of the East Wangfu, which leads to the self-circulation of the internal functions of the East Wangfu, but fortunately, the Dongwangfu has a large population, and the impact is not visible in a short time, and the lives of the people are still worry-free.

But Huang Yongning knows that if the current situation does not improve, in the long run, the East Wangfu will lose its former majesty, the outside trade will be cut off, and the flow of goods will not be formed, and the East Wangfu can only consume itself, which will eventually lead to the collapse of the trade system, and it is foreseeable that the shortage of food and materials will become the primary issue that the East Wangfu will face, if this matter is not resolved, without the invasion of foreign enemies, the interior of the East Wangfu is likely to collapse.

In this regard, Huang Yuanwu's solution is to continue to attack.

While opening up the southern border, all hostile forces in the northern border were swept away, so that the Eastern Wangfu would not be attacked on its back. The expansion of the southern border and the expansion of the sphere of influence allowed for the acquisition of a lot of land and more Li people, which had a strong positive significance for the long-term development of the Eastern Palace.

Therefore, Huang Yongning took out almost all the inventory of the Eastern Palace, and supported all the decisions of Huang Yuanwu, Huang Yuanwu's dispatch to the imperial capital this time has almost exhausted all the inventory of the Eastern Palace, if the matter of the imperial capital cannot be quickly resolved and becomes a war of attrition, the Eastern Palace, will become the final loser.

Huang Yuanwu knew these things, and Huang Yongning didn't need to say much. For now, Huang Yuanwu's plan is still effective, Liu Yuan's thunderous attack will wipe out the rebel forces in the entire northern border, and move the population under their rule into the Eastern Palace, and Huang Yongning is currently arranging for these newly entered Li people to go to the south to help Huang Yanghui expand the southern wasteland.

With the destruction of the tribes in Beijing, the spoils brought are enough to solve the current dilemma of the Dongwang Mansion, not to mention the many ethnic groups and small countries in the north, they have saved a lot of money over the years, in addition to a large amount of food, gold and silver are also numerous.

And for these rebellious ethnic groups, breaking them up and integrating them into the Eastern Palace, is the best way to rule. This process may seem a bit brutal, but all wars are brutal, and as long as you pick up your weapons, this is the inevitable result.

In recent days, Huang Yongning has been dealing with the affairs of the northern border, and the move of the Li people is not so soon over, and the northern border is not big, but it is also a vast territory, and it is also a more cumbersome matter to count the Li people of all ethnic groups and move them into the Dongwang Mansion.

However, in any case, the war in the north is over, and the winner of the war is the East Palace, relying on this victory, the East Palaces have solved the urgent need. Now the most critical thing is to look at the imperial capital.

As long as Huang Yuanwu solves the troubles in the imperial capital, the Eastern Palaces will be able to get a respite to recuperate.

Huang Yongning sat up and forgot to eat, since he returned to the palace, he almost never went out of the study, and the food and accommodation were solved in the study, and everything was done by himself. Twenty cities under the rule of the East Palace, every five cities are led by a big city lord, but because of the recent turmoil in the East Palace, all the city lords have been transferred, and now the three city lords are near Pingjin City, and may be stationed in Pingjin City for a long time, so outside the five cities of Pingjin, the remaining fifteen cities, large and small matters need to be handled by Huang Yongning.

Although Ye Guanyu left his own team when he left, some trivial matters did not need Huang Yongning to worry about, but some things that needed to be decided still needed to be decided by Huang Yongning.

Therefore, Huang Yongning has too many affairs every day, and now it is an eventful autumn, and things are continuous, he has to allocate grain and grass on the one hand, and at the same time he has to stabilize the people's livelihood and worry about all the things in the entire Dongwang Mansion, and he really can't get away.

After many days of exhaustion, Huang Yongning now looks like he has lost a lot of weight, and his complexion has lost his previous ruddy complexion, and he looks a little pale.

He was the only one in the study. Late at night, the candle lamp of the post station was placed on the bookcase, and Huang Yongning was looking intently at the letters from Rongbao City.

The candlelight suddenly jumped slightly, and the temperature of the entire study dropped rapidly, Huang Yongning didn't feel anything wrong, he pulled the cloak on his shoulder, and continued to read the letter in his hand.

"It's almost snowing. ”

A voice suddenly came, Huang Yongning was shocked, but he reacted quickly, and subconsciously pulled out his close-fitting saber and stabbed directly in the direction where the voice came.

"When ......"

With a crisp sound, the tip of Huang Yongning's sword stabbed a hard object, and sparks flew away. At this moment, Huang Yongning saw clearly that in the corner of the study, I don't know when there was another person, this person was covered in armor, and under the reflection of the candlelight, he could see the strange and complicated lines on this armor.

"Second General, you are very angry. ”

Huang Yongning stabbed out with a sword, directly stabbing on this person's armor, this person did not dodge or dodge, but said this faintly, this voice sounded without any emotion, which made people feel cold down their spines.

"Who are you?" Seeing that the sword had no effect, Huang Yongning took a step back quietly, and by the candlelight on the bookcase, he saw the person in front of him clearly.

The man was covered in a black armor with fine and strange carvings, and he was wearing a helmet, his face shrouded in the helmet, and the whole person looked as if he was wrapped in a strange black cloth, and not an inch of skin was exposed.

"It doesn't matter. The man spoke softly, as if from the abyss, and he took a slight step forward, and his boots slammed on the floor of the study with a crisp sound.

"It's not just coming, please come with me. ”
