Chapter 276: Cold
And Xu Xiuping chose the latter, he couldn't persuade himself to join the same stream with others, nor could he persuade himself to give up the foundation of the sect and merge into other sects, and become a vassal of others from then on.
And just when the entire Cangxingzong Mountain was exhausted, the letter from the Dongwangfu arrived.
Xu Xiuping didn't hesitate too much, so he took his two children and left Yulong Mountain and went to the Dongwang Mansion.
I wanted to come to the Dongwang Mansion to see my junior brother, and in the future, I could rely on my junior brother to find another place for my sect and rebuild the mountain gate, but I didn't want to, but after I arrived at the Dongwang Mansion, I received such bad news.
The world is impermanent, and nothing can be smooth sailing. Xu Xiuping felt bitter in his heart, but he couldn't tell anyone.
The Dongwang Mansion is now too busy to take care of itself, and there is no spare energy to help Cangxingzong, and Xu Xiuping did not mention it.
Since you can't avoid this calamity, it's better to face it head-on.
At this moment, the fiery red light enveloped Xu Xiuping's body, and in the dim light of dawn, it was like a lamp swaying in the wind, flickering and dimming.
......
In the past few days since returning to the East Palace, Huang Yuchen has lived a very peaceful life.
In the past, there would be servants in the ancestral hall of the East Wangfu who came to clean it every day, but this time when Huang Yuchen came back, no one came to the ancestral hall.
It seems to have become a closed space, and when the door is closed, everything outside has nothing to do with this ancestral hall.
Huang Yuchen got up every morning, meditated, studied the exercises, read the classics, and went to the kitchen to find food by himself when he was hungry, and his life was very clean.
He cherished this quiet time very much, because he knew that he did not know when, this quiet day would be broken by sudden events.
In the early morning of this day, Huang Yuchen sat cross-legged in the ancestral hall, on the left and right walls of the ancestral hall, the bright candle flames were still beating, and the ancestral hall was burning with freshly lit incense, making the room full of fog.
Huang Yuchen's mood has calmed down a lot in the past few days, and a few days ago, he fought with the army, and accumulated a lot of anger on the battlefield, and during this time, it slowly faded.
At this moment, he was in a state of mind and accepted many things.
He accepted the fact that his father had died in battle, and he also accepted the helpless choice of his eldest brother.
He accepted that there are many injustices in this world, and he also accepted the helplessness of one person who cannot undo the great things.
He understood what he had said to him in Changhui City for the rest of his life.
In this life, it is only a hundred years, and even if it is cultivated to a high level, it is only a few hundred years. In this long and instantaneous time, one of the things that people should understand most is to recognize themselves.
The fighting qi in his body slowly turned, Huang Yuchen gave up his eagerness for quick success, he understood that cultivation was not achieved overnight. But before, he was cultivating desperately every day, in a vain attempt to break through the bottleneck of cultivation in the shortest possible time and control the Mixed Yuan Array. And after a few days of purification, he clearly knew that this was impossible.
Behind him, there was a soft sound, and Huang Yuchen closed his eyes and breathed, unmoved.
He felt that a person walked to his side, knelt on the futon, and kowtowed to the ancestral tablet.
The person who came was his eldest brother, Huang Yuanwu. This breath is too familiar to him.
Without opening his eyes, Huang Yuchen opened his mouth and said softly: "Big brother." ”
"Yuchen. Huang Yuanwu got up lightly, sat down cross-legged beside Huang Yuchen, and without too many words, the two brothers were in this ancestral hall, sitting quietly on the futon.
Huang Yuchen felt the breath of the eldest brother beside him, and for some reason, there was a sense of sadness. It's just a feeling, and it can't be put into words.
He vaguely felt that when the eldest brother came to him today, he might have to say something important.
In the ancestral hall, there was silence. For a long time, the two of them did not speak, just sat quietly cross-legged, enjoying this moment of tranquility.
After a long time, Huang Yuanwu said softly: "Yuchen, the elder of the sect, is here." ”
When Huang Yuchen heard this, there was no wave in his heart, this is what he has known for a long time, the people of the sect will come sooner or later.
"Big brother and the elders of the sect, what did you say?" Huang Yuchen asked softly, "I feel that there is something wrong with your breath. ”
"A few trivia. Huang Yuanwu replied softly, he didn't plan to tell Huang Yuchen everything, because it was meaningless to say it, and it couldn't change anything.
"When will I leave?" Huang Yuchen said in a calm tone, and his voice was not loud. Huang Yuanwu had told him before that when the people of the sect arrived at the Dongwang Mansion, let him leave with them.
"No need. Huang Yuanwu sighed lightly and said: "The sect is already gone, I came to you this time to talk to you, the road behind may not be smooth." ”
Huang Yuchen was stunned when he heard this, opened his eyes, and looked at Huang Yuanwu beside him, but saw that Huang Yuanwu was looking at him quietly, looking a little tired.
If you guess correctly, the eldest brother should have stayed up all night.
"How to arrange the eldest brother in the back, just say it, I listen to the eldest brother. Huang Yuchen looked at Huang Yuanwu's face, his heart was a little tight, he had the heart to ask why he didn't go to the sect, but he couldn't ask.
Huang Yuanwu looked at Huang Yuchen's appearance, a smile appeared on his face, he raised his hand and touched Huang Yuchen's head indiscriminately, and said, "Boy, pretend to be an adult to speak." ”
Huang Yuchen didn't stop the eldest brother's move, but there was also a smile on his face.
The two brothers, looking at each other, smiling, all words, Buddha is not so important.
"The enclave doesn't plan to let you go again. Touching Huang Yuchen's head, Huang Yuanwu felt much better, and said with a smile: "In a few days, you and the supply team will go to find Uncle Xiao." ”
When Huang Yuchen heard this, his eyes widened, and he said, "Looking for Uncle Xiao, where is he now, what am I going to do?"
Hearing that the eldest brother asked him to go to Xiao Yibo, Huang Yuchen's heart tightened for no reason, thinking of Xiao Yibo's appearance, Huang Yuchen was a little afraid for no reason.
Xiao Yibo's lethality to the four concubines of the East Wangfu is more terrifying than that of thousands of troops.
"Uncle Xiao is in Pingjin City now. Huang Yuan Wu said: "I am responsible for the training of new soldiers, supervising the manufacture of blades, and taking time to interrogate and arrest the meticulous work, I have been busy day and night, and you have gone this time, just to help him." ”
"What can I help...... Huang Yuchen was very reluctant to go to Xiao Yi, and said: "Uncle Xiao had so many old subordinates before, which one is not a good hand in charge alone, I don't understand anything, isn't it a mess when I go?"
There is a layer of Huang Yuchen who didn't say that if he went, Xiao Yibo asked him about his father, how would he answer, this is an extremely difficult question.
With Xiao's temper, if he knew that his father had really died on the battlefield, and he didn't immediately go forward to take revenge, there would be ghosts.
"I know what's on your mind. Huang Yuanwu put away his smile and said solemnly: "You are afraid that Uncle Xiao will ask you about your father, and you don't know how to answer, right?" ”
Speaking of his father, Huang Yuchen also put away other thoughts in his heart, this matter is undoubtedly a big mountain in his heart, and he can't move it.
Not only for Huang Yuchen, but also for the entire Dongwang Mansion, the death of the Dongwang is great bad news, but now this news has not spread throughout the entire Twenty Cities. The sergeant who returned from the front was given a gag order, and the matter was classified as top secret and was not to be disseminated.
Huang Yuchen frowned slightly, looked at Huang Yuanwu, and said with some worry: "Uncle Xiao's temper, eldest brother, you know better than me, if he really asks, I can't hide it, as long as he knows the news, what will happen later, I can't predict it, and I can't stop it." ”
"Besides, now that Senior Ye is in the enclave, he lacks skills, and there is no one who can cure Uncle Xiao in the entire Dongwang Mansion. ”
Huang Yuanwu sighed lightly and said, "I know what you said, but this matter can't be hidden, Uncle Xiao will know sooner or later." Besides, after so much time, Uncle Xiao is afraid that he has already understood in his heart. Until now, my father has no news, and there is more than one luck. ”
"So I think, Uncle Xiao hasn't shown anything abnormal until now, this is a bit abnormal, if it is in normal times, he would have come to the palace to ask for the guilt, Yongning and Yanghui have been back for many days, and Uncle Xiao has not been informed of the news of his father, and he has not made any moves, which is not quite right in itself. ”
When Huang Yuchen heard this, he immediately understood what Huang Yuanwu meant.
"What does the eldest brother mean......" Huang Yuchen guessed what Huang Yuanwu meant, but he didn't say it directly.
The East Wangfu is eventful, and now there is only one Xiao Yibo left behind, he controls almost all the resources of the East Wangfu, and he is training soldiers at the moment, if Xiao Yibo has any other ideas, the consequences are really unimaginable.
"You can also go and see for me what Uncle Xiao is doing now. Huang Yuanwu's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "If Uncle Xiao really has any changes, you can rely on the Eastern King's Order to immediately seize his military power." ”
When Huang Yuchen heard this, his heart was heavy.
Xiao Yibo is an absolute person for Dongwangfu. He is the sworn brother of his father and an absolute supporter of the Eastern Palace.
Because of this, if Xiao Yibo knew about the death of the East King, he could do anything, and Huang Yuchen would not be surprised.
For Huang Yuanwu, Xiao Yibo's status in his heart was far higher than Huang Yuchen imagined. He didn't believe that Xiao Yibo would betray the Dongwang Mansion, but he absolutely believed that Xiao Yibo might lead the newly trained sergeants to kill the god capital and avenge his father.
If Xiao Yibo really did this, things would have gotten out of control.
Xu Feng's secret moves hidden in the East Palace's mansion will definitely break out at the first time, but Huang Yuanwu doesn't know any of these secret moves.
Moreover, now attacking the imperial capital, the first thing to face is the army of the three kings who are facing each other in front of the imperial capital, and they are clearly fighting for the right to enter the imperial capital first, and it is absolutely impossible to let Xiao enter the inner city of the imperial capital.
"I see. Huang Yuchen took a deep breath and replied slowly.
Although he was reluctant to face Xiao Yibo, the stakes were high, and the emotions in his heart were not so important.
"I hope Uncle Xiao doesn't do anything stupid. Huang Yuchen's voice was very low.
Huang Yuanwu didn't speak, just stood up, patted Huang Yuchen lightly on the shoulder, and walked out of the ancestral hall.
At this moment, the sun is born, and the sun shines on the earth, replacing the moonlit night and lighting up everything in the world.
Huang Yuchen slowly got up from the futon, took a deep breath, and blew out all the candles in the ancestral hall.
He looked at the wisps of green smoke after the candle flame was extinguished, and he was a little distracted.
Although Huang Yuanwu didn't say it explicitly, judging from the tone of his conversation with himself and the arrangement he finally gave himself, the interior of the East Wangfu may not be as peaceful as he thought.
And the crisis facing the East Prince's Mansion now is likely to come from the rebellion of the Three Kings in the imperial capital alone.
Huang Yuchen knew the significance of his trip to Pingjin City, and if he made a wrong move, it would cause a strong chain reaction, causing the dark thunder inside the entire Dongwang Mansion to explode one by one.
Let yourself go, Huang Yuchen also understands that there is really no credible person at Huang Yuanwu's hand.
Walking out of the ancestral hall, in the early morning, the air was still a little cold, just like Huang Yuchen's mood at this moment, and just like the current Dongwang Mansion.
