Chapter 151: After the Turmoil
Several teams of sergeants left in the dust, followed the main road of Dongxuancheng, went to different directions, and issued the orders for the rest of their lives to the five cities of Dongxuan.
And the several teams of herald sergeants sent before, except for the first team who met Xiao Yibo halfway and returned normally, the other teams of sergeants have also been heard from so far.
Xiao Yibo rode out of the city to find Ye Guan and Liu Yuan last night, and there is no news at present, but looking at the time, if a few people are fine, they should enter the city soon.
After arranging everything, Huang Yuanwu leaned on the chair in the room, let out a long breath, picked up the teacup, and drank tea quietly.
Huang Yuchen no longer had the relaxed and comfortable feeling he had before, he sat next to Huang Yuanwu, his brows furrowed, and his thoughts were racing.
After last night's events, he has a new understanding of the battle for hegemony on the battlefield.
I have always heard that the imperial throne is extremely dangerous, and if it is not handled properly, it can lead to a wall of brothers and chaos in the world.
Hearing about this, Huang Yuchen didn't think so at first, he had a very good relationship with his elder brothers, and between his elder brothers, he had always regarded the eldest brother Huang Yuanwu as the leader, and he didn't have any intention of competing for the throne of the Eastern Palace. He always felt that these things were a bit alarmist, and they were not as terrible as they sounded.
Now it seems that things really are so terrible.
The three kings of the border sent troops to persecute because of an order from His Majesty. The emperor was besieged in the inner city of the imperial capital, and the kings with military power did not want to go to the rescue, so they found a master to warn the Dongwangfu, in order to keep the Dongwangfu from joining the war, they did not hesitate to kill so many ordinary people.
Although he didn't know who it was, Huang Yuchen didn't have the slightest good impression of the other border palaces in his heart. If they hadn't sent troops in the name of King Qin, his father would not have led troops to quell the rebellion, and if his father had not led troops to quell the rebellion, then there would not have been all the soldiers and horses confronting each other, giving Yang Qin a chance.
The culprit of all this is the other three royal mansions, if they didn't have the heart of disobedience, even if Yang Qin had a thousand tricks, things would not have developed to this point.
Huang Yuchen frowned, thinking about these things, he couldn't help but secretly clench his fists, and gritted his steel teeth.
Huang Yuanwu saw Huang Yuchen's strange appearance, but he didn't say anything. At this time, it is still necessary for him to think about it himself, and the current situation is not a matter of one person, but of the entire force.
For the side of the Eastern Palace, especially after this turmoil, Huang Yuchen's existence has become very important. No matter who the enemy is, they all have the power to help them who are proficient in the formation, and on the side of the Eastern Palace, except for Huang Yuchen, there is only one Ning Yi who is proficient in the formation, but he is not on the same level as the power of this formation. If there is no Huang Yuchen, if the other party uses the formation rune paper to obstruct or probe in the future, there is nothing they can do.
After this turmoil, Huang Yuanwu's opinion of his youngest brother has also changed slightly. At the beginning, he only felt that his younger brother Huang Yuchen was a future star with amazing talent and hard work, but he was not suitable for battlefield battles, and he did not mean to let him join.
When he was brought out this time, he was actually afraid that he would be left unattended in the Dongwang Mansion, and he would know about his father and make some impulsive moves.
But in this turmoil, Huang Yuchen's performance impressed him.
Not only did he make more progress in his cultivation than he imagined, but he also acted decisively. The two of them were besieged by the Wuhe Array before, if it weren't for Huang Yuchen's decisive action, quickly judging the situation, and finally overdrawing his physical strength to forcibly crack the formation, I'm afraid that that time, he would definitely suffer serious internal injuries, and whether the East King Yinxin can be kept is also a problem.
This kind of courage and sharp mind in battle was something he didn't know before.
Huang Yuanwu didn't expect Huang Yuchen to be able to do this, this younger brother, who grew up secretly in the East Wangfu since he was a child and rarely went out, broke out, and actually had such power.
That being the case, Huang Yuchen must have his own understanding of the things he is facing now, instead of blindly obeying his own orders. If you can't find a direction in this turmoil, if you don't have a goal, even if you keep protecting it, in the end, it will be useless.
Huang Yuanwu had a faint smile on his face, looked at Huang Yuchen in contemplation, and drank tea quietly.
Time passed, and it was afternoon in the blink of an eye.
After another busy day, he personally led a team in the city to help the people clean up the remains of their relatives, arrange the cleanup of burned houses, and arrange shelters for these homeless people. He opened the grain depot, distributed food to the suffering people, and personally distributed the pensions of the fallen soldiers, in an effort to heal the pain caused by the disaster to the greatest extent.
After a few days of high-intensity mental work, Rao is martial artist cultivation for the rest of his life, energetic, and a little unable to stand up, when dealing with some things, the reaction was obviously half a beat slower than before, but fortunately, there was no chaos.
As the city lord for the rest of his life, he has a reputation for fairness and justice, and loves the people like children. In addition, the enemy did not stir up the emotions of the people, spread rumors, and did everything himself for the rest of his life, which, to a certain extent, alleviated the psychological trauma brought to the people by this turmoil.
In the afternoon, order was restored in Dongxuan City, but in addition to looking a little dilapidated, the streets also returned to calm. The shops on the street opened their doors again, and the people began to live a normal life.
In the streets and alleys, after tea and dinner, most of the people's conversations were about this turmoil, but the tone was the same, and they all praised the rest of their lives, and they were glad to have met such a good city lord.
All the suffering people have been properly accommodated, and their emotions have gradually calmed down.
The thick gloomy clouds that shrouded Dongxuan City slowly dispersed.
For the rest of his life, with his five personal guards, on the way back to the City Lord's Mansion, he watched the traffic on the street, reverted to his previous thriving appearance, and couldn't help but smile on his face, this turmoil seemed to have finally passed.
When he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, he did not rest, but went straight to Huang Yuanwu's residence and reported to him everything in the city.
Huang Yuanwu looked at Yu Sheng's tired appearance, his eyes were bloodshot, and his heart moved slightly, but he didn't say anything to let Yu Sheng rest, he knew that even if he said it, Yu Sheng would not go.
The other three city lords have not yet returned, and the sergeants who sent out the orders and sent the letters have not been sent back, and with the character of the rest of their lives, they will definitely not rest at ease until they get these news.
Huang Yuanwu handed Yu Sheng a cup of tea on the table, Yu Sheng took it with both hands, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Sometimes, it doesn't take a word to understand what the other person is thinking.
Huang Yuanwu and the rest of his life, seemingly a monarch and minister, but a confidant.
The three of them sat quietly in the wooden house, waiting for the news from outside to come back.
This process is really difficult.
In the evening, a group of sergeants finally rushed back.
Beginning in the evening, the ranks of sergeants who had been given orders came back one after another, all of them looking tired.
Yu Sheng met with the captains of these sergeants for the first time and inquired in detail about all the processes.
The several teams of sergeants sent out to deliver the letter, without exception, were all ambushed on the way, and they entered the formation barrier directly without warning, no matter what method the sergeants used, they could not break the seal, and could only be trapped in the barrier in the end.
But the enemy doesn't seem to be killing everyone, just trapped.
The three teams of sergeants sent out to deliver the letter were all like this, and it was not until dawn today that the formation disappeared, they delivered the news as soon as possible, and then rushed back to Dongxuan City desperately, all the way without stopping.
According to the imperial military order, the order was late, and it was to be subject to military law, and the three captains knelt down on one knee in front of Yu Sheng, asking for a confession, but Yu Sheng smiled and explained some information to them a little, and then asked a few people to get up and return to the team.
When the three captains heard that Dongxuancheng was attacked, they were all shocked, but Yu Sheng did not mean to explain in detail, nor did he mean to condemn a few people, so he had no choice but to withdraw and hurriedly returned to Wufu.
The news of these three teams of sergeants came back, which basically confirmed the speculation in the hearts of Huang Yuanwu and Yu Sheng.
The enemy knows the Dongwang Mansion very well, and even if they sent a messenger team to take that road, they had no last resort, and they could arrange the formation in advance and besiege the sergeants who delivered the letter.
It seems that the enemy has been planning for a long time, and for them, Dongwangfu is a strong enemy, otherwise they would not have made such a big effort, just to warn.
Not long after, all the sergeants who went to the five cities of Dongxuan to give orders also returned to the team, and reported the details of the order to Yu Sheng, and the city lords of the remaining four cities under his rule received Yu Sheng's order, and he would personally lead the sergeants to come to Dongxuan City tomorrow.
At this point, everything has come to an end, and there are only three city lords who have not returned.
Ye Guan, Liu Yuan, Xiao Yibo.
If the guess is correct, Ye Guan and Liu Yuan will definitely encounter a sneak attack from the enemy, and this attack is definitely not as simple as just besieging them, the enemy will definitely invest in the means that can kill the two, otherwise, it will become a joke to warn Huang Yuanwu.
But in the end, it will definitely not hurt the lives of the two of them, but Rao is like this, Huang Yuanwu is still extremely worried in his heart.
Ye Guan has always had a secret wound on his body, although he doesn't say it himself, he looks no different from ordinary people, but Huang Yuanwu knows how vicious the attack that Ye Guan blocked for his father at the beginning. Ye Guan relied on his strong fighting spirit and the heavenly treasures that the East King had been giving him, and it was difficult to suppress this injury and not recur, if he was injured again......
"Report!"
A long howl came, and Yu Sheng and Huang Yuanwu's eyes lit up at the same time.
A herald ran in, knelt down on one knee in front of the two, clasped his hands into fists, and shouted: "Little prince, general." Outside the city, the three city lords have returned!"
"Okay!" Huang Yuanwu patted the chair, stood up immediately, glanced at Yu Sheng, and went out without looking back.
Yu Sheng and Huang Yuchen hurriedly followed.
