Chapter 160: Enclave News
Huang Yuanwu sat in the front hall, his brows furrowed.
The fifteenth day had arrived, but the two younger brothers had not returned, and I did not know what had happened.
In the evening, scouts returned one after another, bringing the latest news from the two princes.
Huang Yuanwu summoned the scouts as soon as possible and learned the news of his two younger brothers.
Huang Yongning, who has come out of the imperial capital, is hurrying back at the moment, because he has missed the appointment with Huang Yanghui, and is hurrying up.
Huang Yanghui has gathered most of the soldiers of the Eastern Palace, and he is also rushing back at this moment. On this expedition, Huang Yuan Wuqian instructed him not to let Huang Yanghui act rashly, and he was also rarely obedient, and he really brought the team back.
Knowing these news, Huang Yuanwu breathed a sigh of relief, he was not afraid of anything else in his heart, he was afraid that Huang Yanghui would be targeted by several other forces in the process of collecting the remnants, and he stepped forward to extinguish it in one fell swoop. is also worried that Huang Yongning sneaked into the imperial capital, was discovered, and lost his life.
Now that he knows that the two of them are returning, although he doesn't understand why the other forces haven't moved, he is also relieved in his heart.
After a few days of operation, there was good news from Yu Sheng and Xiao Yibo.
In terms of the rest of their lives, the number of retired officers and men who have been collected has reached 40,000, and they have now been stationed in Wuxing City and are stepping up their training.
Xiao Yibo moved to Wuxing City, and the masters he gathered also reached 1,000 people, and after investigating one by one, there were hundreds of people who had problems.
And Huang Yuanwu had at hand, except for the two thousand sergeants who were taken away by Ye Guan, the remaining sergeants were only enough to survey and defend the border pass, and they were unable to spare people to help.
And Ye Guan, since he entered the enclave with Liu Yuan and two thousand sergeants a few days ago, there has been no news, and there has been no movement until now.
The calm of the past few days has made Huang Yuanwu very uneasy, such a big move in the East Palace, the rest of his own forces must have seen it, but they did not stop it, I don't know why.
Subsequently, complicated military affairs and trivial matters followed, and Huang Yuanwu continued to deal with daily affairs, but the dark clouds swirling in his heart never dissipated.
It wasn't until nightfall that another team of scouts returned and came to meet Huang Yuanwu, which brought the latest news ahead.
The reason why their own forces did not have time to hinder the movement of the Eastern Prince's Mansion was because the other kings fought for the right to enter the imperial capital first, and they actually started a war in the wilderness of thousands of miles before the imperial capital, and this battle was fought in the dark and inexplicable.
Hearing this news, Huang Yuanwu frowned, from the news, he analyzed why they didn't have time to take care of the East Palace, and they didn't attack Huang Yanghui, now they are too busy to take care of themselves, how can they have time to take care of these trivial matters. But there is another layer of meaning, which makes Huang Yuanwu upset.
The three kings fought before the imperial capital, and the three parties fought for the right to enter the imperial capital.
That...... The King of the East and His Majesty must be more than lucky.
Huang Yuanwu frowned, his mind raced, and he immediately analyzed several pieces of information from this news.
First, the inner city has been broken, and His Majesty and his father were either martyred or captured, but the three kings can fight hard, and the situation of the two is more inclined to martyrdom.
Second, since the three kings are vying for the priority of entering the imperial capital, there must be news in the imperial capital, this news is not known whether it is true or not, but it must be related to His Majesty's martyrdom, otherwise several parties will not be red-eyed and let go of the fight.
Third, Yang Qin, the current situation is unknown, if he has already obtained the inner city, most of the news that comes out is due to his arrangement, but I don't know what means he used to make the Three Kings forces really believe that the person who entered the imperial capital first can get a great treasure.
Several pieces of information were analyzed, and Huang Yuanwu had mixed emotions.
What is basically certain is that something must have happened to my father, and if my father was still here, such a thing would not have happened.
And there is one thing that Huang Yuanwu didn't figure out, since there are 200,000 soldiers in the Dongwang Mansion and they have not died on the battlefield, Huang Yanghui can still gather them together. With Ning Yi's means, why could his father be besieged in the inner city, and until the inner city was broken, he still did not arrange an attack.
Thinking of this, Huang Yuanwu only felt upset, the news was almost clear, why his father went to the inner city is a mystery, why he didn't bring troops to protect the imperial capital is also a mystery, and Yang Qin rebelled, what method did he use to lead his father to the inner city alone, and why did the soldiers of the Dongwang Mansion who had been confronting the soldiers and horses of the Three Kings outside not come to the rescue.
These are all things that Huang Yuanwu can't figure out, if you want to solve these, you can only wait for Huang Yanghui and Huang Yongning to return, and Ning Yi, you must ask clearly.
Distraught, Huang Yuanwu couldn't sit still in the front hall, stood up, paced out, went straight out of the East Palace, and paced back and forth near the fortifications, quieting his mind.
At this moment, it was already night, and the water of the Canglan River was turbulent, and the waves hit the boulders of the river embankment, making a surging sound.
The sergeant on duty fought on the lookout box, standing quietly, quietly looking at the end of the bridge, a huge horn was supported on the sentry box, and if the enemy situation was found, it would blow to it as soon as possible. This horn was so loud that it could be heard when sitting in the East King's Mansion.
On the side of the river embankment, it is the fortification built by the East Prince's Mansion, which is probably equivalent to a city wall, dozens of zhang high, and is not inferior to the city wall of the general big city.
In front of this city wall, there is a bridge leading to the enclave, the bridge deck is extremely wide, can accommodate more than a dozen horses in a row to move forward, the bridge is black, as if carved from a whole stone, eroded by the years for a long time, this black stone has no edges and corners, looks smooth and round.
When the East King marched here, he saw this bridge, the people of the enclave in the past, and the soldiers and civilians on this side of the bridge had many contacts, through the bridge to trade with each other, with the expansion of the sky, the East Wangfu occupied one side of the bridge, in order to force the enclave to submit, also blocked the bridge, interrupted trade.
According to legend, this bridge has existed for thousands of years, but I don't know what kind of capable person built such a majestic bridge on top of the vicissitudes of natural danger.
Huang Yuanwu was pacing on the city wall at the moment, blowing a damp breeze, and the irritability in his heart was slightly reduced.
At this moment, it was already night, and there were three steps and one sentry on the city wall, and there were torches in the sentry posts, illuminating the small places around. A row of torches was lit, and in the dark night, a fire dragon was formed, lying on the bank of the Canglan River.
Huang Yuanwu stood on the city wall, looking at the Black Stone Bridge not far away, full of emotions.
Ye Guan has been gone for a few days, but there has been no news yet, if it goes well, there should have been news back, but after so many days, there is not the slightest news, which can't help but make Huang Yuanwu worried.
Suddenly, between the turbulent waves, there was a series of crisp horses' hooves, which got closer and closer, and entered Huang Yuanwu's ears, making him feel shocked.
Looking closely, on the wide deck of the Black Stone Bridge, from far to near, a group of horses galloped quickly, and soon arrived under the city wall.
The knight grabbed a brocade box in one hand, held it high, and shouted: "Good news!
Seeing this, Huang Yuanwu was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly open the city gate and welcome this person!"
"Honorable Order!" The sergeant next to him immediately responded, and quickly conveyed Huang Yuanwu's order.
The heavy gate creaked open, and the knight rode in. Huang Yuanwu hurriedly descended the stairs down the city wall and went to meet the knight.
It must be a good thing that this man came from an enclave and was highly rewarded. Huang Yuanwu's footsteps were fast, and he soon descended the city wall and entered the outpost under the city.
As soon as he entered the outpost, he saw a sergeant kneeling on one knee, holding the brocade box he had just seen on the city wall.
"Hurry up!" Huang Yuanwu said softly, turned around and sat down on the chair beside him, looked at the sergeant, and asked, "You claim to be a good news, but has there been any progress on the Ye City Lord's side?"
The sergeant got up, holding the brocade box in his hand, his face was full of spring breeze, as if he was extremely happy to see Huang Yuanwu, and said loudly: "Back to the little prince, the lord of Ye City and the leader of the enclave have reached an agreement, the enclave is willing to raise the city to surrender, and the leader of the enclave is to show his sincerity, and he will send his seal letter and give it to the little prince!"
When Huang Yuanwu heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately ordered left and right, and stepped forward to fetch the brocade box.
The sergeant who had been standing behind Huang Yuanwu could step forward, take the brocade box in the sergeant's hand, walk in front of Huang Yuanwu, kneel on one knee, and hold the brocade box high above his head.
Huang Yuanwu fixed his eyes to see, only to see that this brocade box carved exquisitely, carved with a dragon, graceful and luxurious, look at the material, this brocade box is like black jade carving, just this box, it is priceless.
Huang Yuanwu stretched out his hand, took the brocade box in his hand, and started to cool and penetrate the body, this is black jade, it will definitely not be wrong.
I was delighted in my heart, turned over and opened the brocade box, and in the brocade box, a white seal letter came into view, the white jade was flawless, and the pearls were round and jade. Reaching out to pick it up, it was like stroking the immature skin, and a slippery feeling came to my heart.
"Phoenix Essence Jade!" Huang Yuanwu was shocked, when he first saw this piece of jade, he felt that something was not right, and he knew that this is the rare phoenix essence jade in the world, this jade was born in a large piece of pure color jade, it is considered a jade essence, a large piece of red jade is very rare, known as phoenix jade, and this small piece of pure white jade in the center of the phoenix jade is called phoenix jade, this jade is very rare, it is hard to find, if there is a thumb-sized piece, hanging on the body every day, it can help improve the physique, make people feel happy, is a rare treasure of heaven and earth. The leader of this enclave actually has such a large piece, and he has also made a seal.
Such treasures, coupled with the black jade brocade box outside, are worth a rival country, and they cannot be fake.
Huang Yuanwu put the seal back in the brocade box, looked at the sergeant in front of him, and asked, "What did City Lord Ye say to you before you came back?"
The sergeant's face did not change, he still smiled, and said: "City Lord Ye said that the matter of the enclave has been taken care of, and I also ask the little prince to send the sergeant to hand over as soon as possible, the sooner the better, and the later it will change." ”
When Huang Yuanwu heard this, his smile retracted, and he fell into deep thought.
