Zhuang Lexian was a little puzzled when he saw Huang Yuchen's confident appearance, and he also looked back at the giant, not knowing what Huang Yuchen was selling.

"I'm going to bother you to run with the giant. Huang Yuchen squinted his eyes and looked at Zhuang Lexian, and then stuffed the scroll of the holy decree in his hand into Zhuang Lexian's arms, and said, "Go find Fan Liao, show him this holy decree, and then I will write you another one and show it to him." ”

Zhuang Lexian took the scroll of the holy decree, his face showed doubt, and asked, "Aren't you different from startling the snake?"

"Fan Liao, you must have gone to seek refuge with others. Huang Yuchen said: "No matter who he takes refuge in, this holy decree is for the people he takes refuge to see." ”

Zhuang Lexian's face immediately showed a look of sudden realization, and then he looked at Huang Yuchen and said, "Why are you so bad? Who did you learn from?"

Huang Yuchen smiled faintly and didn't reply. Who did he learn these things from, Huang Yuchen really didn't know how to answer, because no one had ever taught him.

After a while, he saw a group of people coming to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion from a distance, Huang Yuchen immediately went out to check, but saw Pang Qi with many people from Ekang City, holding large and small tools in their hands gathered in front of the City Lord's Mansion, and when they saw Huang Yuchen coming out, everyone immediately saluted.

"I've seen the Prince. ”

"Old Pang, ...... are you" Huang Yuchen looked at the residents standing with brooms and shovels in their hands, a little unclear.

"The City Lord's Mansion has been uninhabited for a long time. Pang Qichong smiled at Emperor Yuchen and said, "The prince can't live in the house every day, the old man will take some people to clean the courtyard for the adult, and it will be completed soon." ”

Huang Yuchen just wanted to refuse, but Pang Qi directly saluted him and led people in, without giving Huang Yuchen a chance to speak, Huang Yuchen stood outside, watching a group of people enter the City Lord's Mansion with a hula and a burst of warmth suddenly rose in his heart.

"The people of Ekang City are really simple-hearted. Huang Yuchen said secretly in his heart.

If it is a person who is well versed in the city, he will definitely not bring people in before Huang Yuchen has not replied, which can easily cause the dissatisfaction of those in power and lead to a series of discordant things later. But Pang Qi didn't seem to have thought about it in this direction at all, and Huang Yuchen also believed that his purpose was very simple, that is, he wanted to clean the City Lord's Mansion for himself.

This made Huang Yuchen find a long-lost feeling of being cared for, which has not appeared for a long time.

Huang Yuchen sighed softly, and at this moment, a group of people came out of it, Wang Junliang came out first, and said to Huang Yuchen in a low voice: "My lord, Pang Lao will take someone to clean up the courtyard for you, I'm afraid it will take a few hours to finish, do you want to evacuate the adult's personal guards first, so as not to scare these blind dates." ”

Huang Yuchen nodded, and ordered in his heart, and the forty breeders immediately came out of the martial arts arena neatly, and there was a chill rising from the bottom of their hearts when they passed, and the people who saw them all had a chill rising from the bottom of their hearts.

Ordered the feeders to patrol near the City Lord's Mansion, and Huang Yuchen led everyone straight back to the previous courtyard.

Jiying, Zhuang Lexian, Yin Cai, Wang Junliang, Huang Yuchen and the giants crowded the already small courtyard, especially the giant, his tall figure couldn't enter the main house at all, and in the end everyone could only move stools to sit in the courtyard

。

Fortunately, everyone has cultivated in their bodies, and although the weather is cold, there is no obstacle to everyone.

"You really can't live in such a small place in the back. Zhuang Lexian looked around and said to Huang Yuchen: "There are so many people, especially big people, who can't enter the house. ”

Huang Yuchen looked at the giant sitting directly on the ground, he was sitting taller than the door frame, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said in his heart: Taking the giant out in the future is too eye-catching, and it may have some unexpected effects.

Huang Yuchen didn't answer Zhuang Lexian's stubble, but looked at Wang Junliang and asked, "You have been in Ekang City for a long time, do you know where Fan Liao might go?"

Wang Junliang didn't think about it, and said directly: "Two hundred miles away, Mingyuan City, Shi Fei." ”

"Why are you so sure?" Zhuang Lexian asked.

"In the vicinity of Okang City, there was a battle before. Wang Junliang said softly: "There are two waves of forces that dominate, one of them is Shi Fei of Mingyuan City, and the other force is a general of Xiwangfu, whose name is unknown. ”

"The battle lasted for two days and two nights, and it took place in the suburbs, so the people in the city only heard of the battle, but not many people really saw it, the purpose of this battle was the territory of Chihong Mountain, which was a hundred miles away, and finally the West Wangfu was not lower than Mingyuan City, and returned defeated. ”

"My lord, the details of the surrounding villages and towns that you have discovered have all happened before and after this battle. Wang Junliang looked at Huang Yuchen and said: "Fan Liao is not big-minded, his personality is a little cowardly, let him stay in Ekang City to enjoy peace, he can still be lenient to all the people, but if he is really allowed to go into battle to kill the enemy, it will kill him." ”

Therefore, after the victory of Mingyuan City, he did not directly send troops to attack Ekang City, but frequently sent letters to Fan Liao, asking him to go to Mingyuan City to surrender. It happened that your lord suddenly appeared near Chihong Mountain, and Fan Liao was afraid, so he took all the soldiers out of the city. ”

When Huang Yuchen heard this, he felt that there was something wrong with what Wang Junliang said, and asked: "According to what you said, Fan Liao has no intention of rebellion, nor does he have the reality of rebellion, but why did he leave the city and flee, isn't this a crime of rebellion?"

"Compared with you, my lord, he believes in the strength of Mingyuan City more. Wang Junliang said: "Mingyuan City is the largest city in the entire province, and it is also a place where people and wealth gather, it is rumored that the city master has 30,000 mercenaries, and there is enough food and grass, not only to control Mingyuan City, but also to pocket several small cities nearby, there is a faint trend of tiger swallowing mountains and rivers, and recently defeated the West Wangfu, the momentum is even greater." ”

"Compared with you, my lord, I suddenly appeared near Chihong Mountain, and there were only three or five people around me, although I was a relative of the emperor, but I didn't have real strength, and my momentum was still a little insufficient compared to him Fan Liaolai, how could he choose to take refuge in you. ”

Moreover, he gave up Ekang City and left, but also left a way back for himself, he didn't want to face the adult sword soldiers, let alone offend Shi Fei, so he chose this way. ”

"Heh, this person is interesting, in front of such a big right and wrong, he actually sat up and made peace. Zhuang Lexian said coldly on the side: "Such a person is the grass on the wall, whoever is strong and attached to whom, it is impossible to have any combat effectiveness at all, and those children of Ekang City who left with him are afraid that they will suffer." ”

Wang Junliang's statement does not have too many flaws, and he can barely justify himself, if Fan Liao is really like this, the emperor

Yuchen can also understand his cooking, but as Zhuang Lexian said, in the face of such a big right and wrong, no one will allow the existence of the wall grass.

"Then as far as you know, where has the current power of the Western Palace's spread to?" Huang Yuchen asked again.

Wang Junliang didn't speak, but took out a map from his arms and spread it on the small table in front of everyone, Huang Yuchen looked at it intently, this map is the topographic map near Chihong Mountain, which is marked with large and small circles, it seems that Wang Junliang has studied a lot on weekdays.

"These black ink spots are all occupied by the West Palace. Wang Junliang pointed to the points on the map, there were about seven or eight places, mainly concentrated in the northwest direction, and that direction was also the direction of the Wild Jungle and the Siten Sandy Land.

It seems that the West Wangfu is moving forward quite smoothly, and it has completely occupied seven or eight cities, these cities are relatively concentrated, and the area covered is not small, if it is not interfered with, it is likely to continue to expand, if the power of the West Wangfu continues to expand, it is likely to cause a series of reactions, and I am afraid it will be more difficult to deal with at that time.

"Near Chihong Mountain, there are now three forces that are relatively strong. Wang Junliang continued: "One is the West Wangfu that occupies the northwest direction, the other is the Mingyuan City Shifei near the east, and the other is worth mentioning the forces in the north of Chihong Mountain, I don't know who their leader is for the time being, but looking at the current situation, this force is enough to compete with Mingyuan City and the West Wangfu, and it needs special attention." ”

Huang Yuchen looked at the relatively simple map in front of him, the distribution of forces on it was clear at a glance, and the vicinity of Chihong Mountain alone had already been divided into three strong forces, and if he went deeper into the hinterland of the empire, he didn't know what the chaos would be.

"That's all there are three forces?" Zhuang Lexian looked at the map and asked, "Near Chihong Mountain, there are no other places worth mentioning?"

Wang Junliang shook his head and said: "The vicinity of Chihong Mountain is a remote area, as far as I know, it is gone, and it took a lot of effort to collect this information, and a large part of it has no direct evidence, it is all speculated by myself." ”

As he spoke, Wang Junliang pointed to the seven or eight cities to which the Xiwangfu belonged, and said: "Because there was a battle between the Xiwangfu and Mingyuan City nearby, I speculate that this road has been opened up by the Xiwangfu, and according to my experience, I guess that if he didn't occupy these cities, the sergeant would not have rashly appeared in Chihong Mountain." ”

Huang Yuchen looked at the map in front of him and fell into deep thought.

It is not easy for Wang Junliang to make such a strategic analysis, after all, Ekang City is a small border city, although it is the largest city in Chihong Mountain, but it cannot be compared with the big city in the hinterland of the plain, and the flow of information is also very inconvenient.

However, judging from his analysis alone, the turmoil in the Prayer Heaven Empire has reached a worrying level, and it is no longer just a simple rebellion.

For example, this Shi Fei of Mingyuan City, if he can become the overlord of one side, he must have gone through a struggle, not because he is the city lord of Mingyuan City, others will take the initiative to attach themselves.

Now that the Qitian Emperor is weak, none of the following people want a piece of the pie, especially because it is also mixed with many royal families of the previous countries, which makes the whole situation even more confusing.

"If the adults want to chase Fan Liao, they have to go in the direction of Mingyuan City. ”
