Chapter 408: Portrait
Huang Yuchen wanted to say a few words, but Liu Xingping pulled his sleeve and pulled aside.
It can be seen from some details that Huang Yuanwu believes in these two people very much. These two are Xu Xiuping's personal disciples, and their identities are absolutely reliable. In the past few days, Huang Yuanwu went to look for Xu Xiuping, who had not appeared for a long time, but was told by the two that Xu Xiuping had already left the palace and was gone. When leaving, he left a letter to Huang Yuanwu.
The general meaning of the letter was that he was going to do a more dangerous thing himself, and the two apprentices stayed in the mansion and asked Huang Yuanwu to take care of it on his behalf. His two apprentices have a smooth temperament, are at peace with what they encounter, have no quarrel with the world, and will not bring any trouble to the Dongwang Mansion. And the two of them have a very high cultivation, and they can play a role at critical moments.
I don't know what Xu Xiuping is going to do, Huang Yuanwu can't help but feel a little lost in his heart, if Xu Xiuping is here, there will be a top master in the Dongwang Mansion, and when he encounters foreign enemies, he can also resist one or two, but now, the Dongwang Mansion seems to be an empty shelf, whether it is Xu Feng or the master of Tianqing City in the future, there will be no power to resist.
But then, a plan appeared in Huang Yuanwu's mind, and in the conversation with the two, it gradually became clear. After a few days of contact and observation, in the end, Huang Yuanwu determined the plan to let these two people follow Huang Yuchen, these two people looked like Xu Xiuping said in the letter, a little pure-hearted, except for the identity of the sect, the rest of the things seemed to be light. In terms of seniority, Huang Yuchen is regarded as the junior brother of the two of them, let them follow Yuchen, and the two of them did not object.
As a result, there was a plan to attack the west later. There are two advantages to this, one of them, the vision of heaven and earth that appeared in the East Wangfu sixteen years ago is the main problem that has been coveted, the original palace is strong and strong, and it is not a problem to keep this secret, but now it is a few key people who are damaged, so that the core of the East Wangfu is sharply reduced, rather than being slowly heard by others to learn the news, it is better to take the initiative to make it public, so that it can also occupy an initiative, after all, the vast majority of people in the outside world do not know the face of Huang Yuchen.
Second, after the fake Yuchen is released, no matter what forces they are, and whether they suspect it or not, they will more or less go to investigate and verify the authenticity of the news. The Eastern Palace, which can take advantage of this gap, quickly complete all its arrangements, and then hide the real Emperor Yuchen again.
The thing that Huang Yuanwu is most worried about now is not how to hide Yuchen, but the mysterious person who already knows Yuchen's identity, Xu Feng.
The existence of this man has always been like a man's back, and until now, no one knows his purpose, and no one knows his whereabouts. Except for Tianqing City, this is the person Huang Yuanwu is most worried about now.
There has been no good solution, Huang Yuanwu plans to let Huang Yuchen and his party mix in the supply army in a few days, go to other cities in the East Palace, and live in seclusion. He had an idea to let Yuchen enter the hinterland of Qitian, which could not only hone his mental cultivation, but also be an excellent means of concealment, but this matter was only said to Liu Xingping and the others, and in the end he did not make a decision.
There are too many things he has to worry about, according to Huang Yuanwu's estimate, in the near future, the war in the imperial capital will definitely ferment, and eventually lead to civil strife in the entire Qitian, if Huang Yuchen is still in the territory of Qitian at that time, he will face the news cut off, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead. This is absolutely unacceptable to Huang Yuanwu.
In the next few days, Huang Yuchen and Liu Xingping Qi Zhengye were together every day, chatting about the world, although they were not free with the third brother, and they could not enter and leave the palace casually, but the two of them had a broad view, and it was not boring to tell Huang Yuchen some interesting stories about the empire.
In the past few days, Huang Yuchen has never seen the eldest brother, every time he passes by the front hall, he can see that the door of the study is closed, and he also knows that now the palace is an eventful time, Ye Guan's predecessors went to Tianqing City, Ning Yi is gone, and everything completely falls on the shoulders of the eldest brother alone, and there is not even a person to discuss.
On the surface, however, the last few days have been much calmer. The patrol team inside the palace is not so frequent, and the murderous aura that shrouded the mansion before has faded a lot.
The three-sided attack of the Eastern Prince's Mansion also confused the three kings who were now facing each other in the imperial capital. The three of them must have their own ghosts, but one thing is very strange, the strength of the East Wangfu is here, until now, except for Xu Feng of the North Palace, there are no other people from the two sides who have come into contact with the East Palace, as if the turmoil in the entire imperial capital has placed the East Wangfu outside.
Huang Yuanwu didn't think it was too strange about this, the situation in front of him was very delicate now, and he was involved in mobilizing his whole body, not only the three kings who were confronting each other, but also the governors and sergeant leaders of various provinces, who were also watching, these people were all holding heavy troops and only obeying the emperor's orders. If the three kings in front of the imperial capital were to divide the victory and defeat, they would immediately turn against each other without the slightest hesitation. If these three forces confront each other long enough time to give them enough time to prepare, I am afraid that there will inevitably be incidents between the various provinces of the Prayer Heaven, and the war that will affect the entire empire will be imminent.
Therefore, no one dares to act rashly now, and Ye Guan's strategy for Huang Yuanwu is also to protect his body and wait and see what happens.
Three days later, Huang Yuanwu received reports from all sides.
The rest of the troops have arrived in Pingjin City, and Xiao Yibo officially converged, began the construction of fortifications, Xiao Yibo was responsible for the training of 50,000 recruits, very effective, it will not take too long, this batch of recruits, can officially enlist.
Liu Yuan has arrived in the north one step ahead, and crossed the pass, set up camp in front of the pass, and sent a number of scouts to inquire about the news. Now the Northern Prince's Mansion has no spare energy to take care of these things, and it is only a matter of time before Liu Yuan clears the northern border.
Huang Yanghui is still thinking about the march to the south, the south is sparsely populated, mostly high mountains and rivers, on the way to the march, except for a few encounters with fierce beasts, there is no abnormality, according to the current marching speed, will be two days later, to reach the first city in the south.
Huang Yuanwu saw the return of the three parties and immediately wrote a reply.
There is no need to say more about Pingjincheng, there is Xiao Yibo and the rest of his life, and there will be no chaos. In his reply to Liu Yuan, Huang Yuanwu told Liu Yuan that no matter what the tribes in the north said, they would purge their forces, and if they surrendered, they would ask them to move all the people into the territory of the Eastern Palace, disband their arms, and uproot them if they resisted.
As for Huang Yanghui, Huang Yuanwu did not say much in his reply, but only told him to be safe. At the time of leaving, Huang Yuanwu had already informed Huang Yanghui of everything, and in the process of marching, the three people in the team who pretended to be Huang Yuchen and his party would always be closely protected, and the development and construction of the southern border was not overnight, and it was the key to take a city to settle down first.
After doing all this, it was already the evening of the day, Huang Yuanwu sighed, reached out and pinched his eyebrows, there have been a lot of things in the past few days, a little tired, stood up, stretched his body, and felt better.
And at this moment, a purple light suddenly appeared in the study, and a figure appeared in front of Huang Yuanwu in an instant, and before Huang Yuanwu could react, he only heard a "bang", and he didn't know what was thrown on the ground, and at the same time, there was a voice that Huang Yuanwu could never forget, and said, "I brought you a gift." ”
Huang Yuanwu fixed his eyes and saw that it was not Xu Feng, who else was there? This Xu Feng's costume had not changed at all, and he was still squinting at Huang Yuanwu with a lazy smile on his face, and what was thrown on the ground was a person.
Huang Yuanwu's brows furrowed instantly, and he took a step back without moving, he was really afraid of something, although he had seen the way Xu Feng suddenly appeared once, he still couldn't adapt to it. Especially since it is not clear whether this person is friend or foe now, and this person still has such strange methods, how can Huang Yuanwu feel at ease.
"Who is this?" Huang Yuanwu frowned, calming his emotions and asked in a calm voice.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Xu Feng took two steps, sat down on a chair, picked up the fruit in the fruit bowl on the table, took a bite, and then said: "Someone secretly sent me a portrait of your brother before, I went to check it in the past few days, and finally found this person, so I won't bring it to you to see." After speaking, his eyes swept over the person who was still on the ground, and continued: "But now let me faint, I'm afraid you can't ask him anything now." ”
Huang Yuanwu felt a little inexplicable, he hadn't heard Huang Yuchen say anything about portraits before, and Xu Feng couldn't tell him. Now Xu Feng suddenly grabbed someone and threw it directly at his feet, as well as his leisurely appearance, which made Huang Yuanwu's heart burn. But he knew that he was no match for this Xu Feng, so he just frowned and stood in place silent.
Xu Feng saw that Huang Yuanwu didn't say anything, while eating the fruit in his hand, he looked at Huang Yuanwu, and when the last piece of fruit was thrown into his mouth, he suddenly clapped his hands and said in his mouth: "Yes, your brother didn't tell you about the portrait, right?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand into his arms, as if there were many things in his arms, and after turning over for a while, he pulled out a picture scroll, stretched out his hand, and threw it at Huang Yuanwu.
Huang Yuanwu subconsciously took it, and then looked at Xu Feng, who had already begun to pick up the fruits on the table with relish again, as if nothing had happened at all.
Huang Yuanwu glanced at Xu Feng suspiciously, then looked at the scroll in his hand, and then opened it, and the portrait of Huang Yuchen immediately appeared in front of him, and the painting was lifelike, even if he didn't recognize Huang Yuchen, after seeing this portrait, he could find him in the crowd. At the first glance of this portrait, Huang Yuanwu's heart sank suddenly.
