Chapter 275: Like a storm
Huang Yuanwu found a relatively remote house for Xu Xiuping, which was less accessible than the front yard, and was very suitable for Xu Xiuping and his two apprentices to live in.
Regarding Xu Xiuping's arrival at the East Palace, Huang Yuanwu did not tell Huang Yuchen for the first time. I told Huang Yuchen before that I planned to send him to Cangxing Sect, but now this matter has to be discussed in the long run.
After settling Xu Xiuping and his party, it was late at night, and the Dongwang Mansion was silent.
A few nightingales cried softly in the distant woods, and the bright moonlight sprinkled down, illuminating the entire front yard of the Dongwang Mansion.
Huang Yuanwu stood quietly in the front yard, looking at the renovated hall, this scene was a little lonely.
At this time, the moonlight, and the antechamber under the moonlight, seem to indicate the current situation of the East Palace. It seems that the road ahead is broad, but it is not real.
Everything seemed to be hidden in a hazy mist, and every time Huang Yuanwu felt that he had caught this secret, a new message would appear, bringing everything back to square one.
Up to now, there are only a few pieces of useful information that Huang Yuanwu has received.
First of all, the rebellion of the three kings before the imperial capital is still continuing, and this battle is afraid that it has a lot to do with the Northern Palace.
Secondly, regarding the previous riots and attacks on Huang Yuanwu in the Dongwangfu, it was the Beiwangfu that led them, but it is not clear what they really meant.
Again, all the previous clues now point to the Red Rainbow Sect, and Xu Feng, who appeared in the East Wangfu before, must also be an important person.
All of this seems to be able to be threaded into a line, but Huang Yuanwu racked his brains and didn't know how to wear this thread.
Now it is almost certain that because of the civil strife in Qitian, all the surrounding forces are ready to move, not only the surrounding secular countries, but also the sects that were not born before, and there may even be non-governmental organizations that pray for heaven.
Huang Yuanwu has the ability to ensure the stability of the twenty cities under the rule of the Eastern Palace, but he is also powerless to change the rest. Even now, the safety of the East Prince's Mansion is not so easy to preserve.
Thinking of what Xu Xiuping said to himself before, Huang Yuanwu couldn't help frowning slightly, things might be even worse than he imagined.
Xu Xiuping, as the sect master of the Cangxing Sect, now lives in the East King's Mansion, and if he wants to directly intervene in the matter of revenge for the East King, it is inevitable that he must participate in the battle of the Qitian Empire. It can also be seen from this that the restrictions of the sect alliance in the Qitian territory may be a dead letter now, and no one takes this agreement seriously at all.
Thinking about it, praying for chaos like this, as the palace on the border, it can't protect itself, and where does it have the strength to compete with the entire sect realm. At that time, Qitian had enough strength to be able to sit on an equal footing with the entire sect realm, also because of the mutual strength constraints. The sect has top masters who can assassinate members of the royal family, but the powerful army of the Qitian Empire is not something that a single sect can compete with, and if you launch an army, you can easily wipe out a sect, and there are a few top masters left, what's the use.
And now, praying for chaos in the sky has broken this balance, and the overall strength cannot compete with the entire sect realm, and the agreement between the empire and the sect has become a dead letter.
The chaos in the Prayer Heaven directly led to the destruction of the two agreements within the sect realm and between the empire and the sect, and without these two barriers, there was only a naked relationship of interests left between the Prayer Heaven Empire and the sect.
Based on this analysis, Huang Yuanwu no longer felt that it was incomprehensible for the sect realm to intervene in the imperial battle. Without the power of checks and balances, any agreement can be easily torn apart.
Now it may not be only the Northern Palace, but the palaces of the other two kings must have contacted more than one sect to provide benefits that can make them happy, so that they can join the imperial battle.
The Qitian Empire has a vast territory, although there are troops stationed in each province, but in the rebellion of the imperial capital, none of the provincial generals have any action, and they will definitely not act rashly until they can't see the situation clearly.
If the previous battles in the imperial capital had been unresolved and had developed backwards, the Three Kings would inevitably contact the armies of these provinces to augment their own forces and increase their bargaining chips for hegemony.
If it really develops to that time, the original rebellion of the Three Kings is likely to develop into a civil war that will affect the entire territory of Qitian. And those who are caught up in this civil strife will no longer have peace. If such a civil strife occurs, it will inevitably shake the foundation of praying for heaven, and the foundation of the ancestors' entrepreneurship will also be severed.
Thinking of the situation that might develop to the current situation, Huang Yuanwu frowned, sighed deeply, turned around and walked out of the front yard, surrounded by a group of guards, and returned to his courtyard.
All he can do now is to protect the Dongwang Mansion as much as possible, and after taking the enclave, let the Dongwang Mansion have a way out. The rest is not something he can control.
Huang Yuanwu has always had a trace of doubt, why his father entered the inner city in the first place. All of this was so bizarre that he couldn't figure out why his father had left the army and entered the inner city with only a small number of men, and what had he done?
It's not the first time he has such doubts, when he knew that his father was trapped in the inner city of the imperial capital, Huang Yuanwu had such doubts, but after this series of events, he felt more and more that this matter was strange. Everything that is happening now, all the starting points seem to be because of the imperial capital, why the three kings suddenly sent troops to the imperial capital, this seems to have been discussed, and everything that happened later seems to be related to his father, and after his father died in the inner city, all things continued to develop.
Vaguely, Huang Yuanwu felt as if he had grabbed something core, but all this seemed to be only floating in the air, and he couldn't catch it anyway.
He even considered that Yang Qin, who now occupies the inner city of the imperial capital, is not the culprit, and there are probably some unknown secrets behind this.
Shaking his somewhat sore head, Huang Yuanwu cleared these troubled thoughts out of his mind and forced himself to be quiet.
Since his father was trapped in the inner city, Huang Yuanwu has hardly rested, and has been arranging non-stop, and at the same time, he is constantly analyzing, trying to figure out all this. But now, he found that he had thought everything simple before, and the truth of the matter was probably far more than he knew.
"The person who probably knows these things the most is that Xu Feng. Huang Yuanwu frowned slightly, Xu Feng's appearance appeared in his mind, from the first time he saw this person, Huang Yuanwu felt that he couldn't see through it, and now, he couldn't see through it.
Xu Feng had obviously had a chance to kill himself before and completely destroy the threat of the Eastern Palace, but he gave up. It was as if he had more important things to do than to kill himself. And all the previous means against the Dongwang Mansion, and the final goal to be achieved, was not to kill himself, but for another reason.
"Could it be ......" Huang Yuanwu's mind flickered, and he thought carefully: "Is there any secret in the East Wangfu that I don't even know, Xu Feng came here for this secret?"
But after thinking about it, he grew up in the Dongwang Mansion, and the core secret of the entire Dongwang Mansion was Huang Yuchen, and Xu Feng's sneak attack on the Dongwang Mansion was chosen when Huang Yuchen was not in the mansion.
In that palace, what secrets are there, Xu Feng, who can be lured, came in person, and spared no expense.
Huang Yuanwu carefully recalled everything his father and himself had said before, but he didn't find any secret in it, except for Huang Yuchen's life experience, only the secret guard of the palace was considered a secret of the East Palace, these nine people came and went without a trace, and even he didn't know their background, did Xu Feng come at them?
"In any case, when Xu Feng came to the palace, the first priority was definitely not to take my life. But what he came from is unknown. Huang Yuanwu thought of this and shook his head weakly.
This feeling of being played with by someone made Huang Yuanwu very uncomfortable, but he had no way to crack it. He felt as if someone was using the Prayer Heaven Empire to play a game of chess, and he was just a piece in this game, still insignificant.
If there is chess, there will naturally be chess players, so who is the person playing this game of chess?
Huang Yuanwu's mood was a little bitter. As the top combat power of Qitian, Dongwangfu thought that he could control a lot of things, but Huang Yuanwu was a little sad to find that there were too few things he could control.
The entire Dongwang Mansion, in the turmoil of the Qitian Empire, was stormy, like a lonely boat floating on the sea. And as the helmsman of this lonely boat, I can only do my best to keep this lonely boat from being swept up by the wind or capsized by the waves.
His own strength is too small to even protect the family members.
The little prince of the East Prince's Mansion is really a joke.
Huang Yuanwu smiled bitterly and glanced at the moonlight outside the window.
In the sky, a full moon still hangs quietly, and it has been like this for thousands of years.
The night was dreary.
The hot weather makes people crazy, but there is nothing they can do. Just like Huang Yuanwu's mood at the moment, he was helpless.
Even after analyzing so much, even if he knew that this matter was not simple, even if he understood that there might be other unknown secrets behind it, Huang Yuanwu was still helpless.
All this, in the final analysis, is still because of his own lack of ability and cultivation.
If he also had the power of Venerable Lord, the entire Dongwang Mansion would not be so passive.
But, that's only if.
Caught in this whirlpool, the Dongwang Mansion at this moment can only be like a leaf of floating dust, allowing the whirlpool to stir.
Huang Yuanwu had not slept all night, and he couldn't remember how many times he had quietly watched the night outside disperse and the sun rise.
The urgent hope in his heart is that the dark night of the East Palace, hurry up and meet the sun of the new day.
But the night of the East Palace, it seems that there is no end. Walking in the dark night, there is not a glimmer of light in sight.
also stayed awake all night, as well as Xu Xiuping.
He was not as complicated as Huang Yuanwu thought, he just sat in the mansion of the East Prince's Mansion, thinking about the situation he and his junior brother had been together before, and just like that, he sat all night until dawn.
Regarding the sect realm, Xu Xiuping has not completely detached himself from Huang Yuanwu, and the current sect realm is not only not peaceful, but it has not yet fallen into turmoil, which is already good.
The previous sect alliance had long since existed in name only, and this started long before the Heavenly Rebellion, after all, without common interests, no alliance would exist for long.
The sect alliance is exactly like this.
In order to absorb disciples with higher qualifications, or higher-grade treasures of heaven and earth, there have been frequent incidents of swords drawn against each other, and there have even been murders and overses. This was unthinkable in the previous sect alliance.
Cangxing Sect, as a small sect, can only survey and protect itself under such waves.
At present, in the entire Cangxing Sect, except for the sect leader Xu Xiuping, there are only two disciples left, and the rest of the elders, the masters of each sect, go away, and die, Cangxing Sect is already dead in name.
Like the Cangxing Sect, the situation of other small sects is also very different, and in the expansion of large sects, there are only two paths: surrender and perdition.
