Chapter 364: Two evils
Huang Yuchen concealed most of what he had seen and heard a few days ago, and did not tell Huang Yuanwu all of it, nor did he say the details of his entry into the gate of time and space, but only told him about Xu Feng. Because Huang Yuchen knew that no matter whether he wanted to accept it or not, Xu Feng's current layout had been completed, and it was very likely that his return in the future would be completed under Xu Feng's arrangement. For Dongwangfu, the current situation is really not easy to fight with Xu Feng.
Listening to Huang Yuchen carefully talk about his current physical condition, Huang Yuanwu's mood eased a lot, but he was in a complicated mood at the moment, and the helpless feeling of powerlessness had been lingering in his heart for a long time. After a while, he looked at Huang Yuchen, sighed softly, and said: "Little brother, I know everything you said, you said that Xu Feng has no ill will towards the palace now, I know what you mean, this person has hands and eyes to the sky, and it is not something that the current palace can fight." It's just that...... Ning Yi ......"
It would be wrong to say that Xu Feng did not cause any loss to the Dongwang Mansion at all. If it weren't for the fact that Xu Feng and his people suddenly appeared in the Pingjin City New Barracks Campus, Ning Yi would not have used the Heavenly Blasphemy Technique to fight with him. Huang Yuanwu is the same as Xiao Yibo, and for Ning Yi's affairs, they are directly counted on Xu Feng. Ning Yi is now the absolute high-level of the East Prince's Mansion, and he has mastered a lot of secrets of the East Prince's Mansion, and he is now alive and dead, and it is impossible for Huang Yuanwu to be relieved immediately.
When Huang Yuchen heard this, he was silent for a while, he didn't believe the whereabouts of Ning Yi that Xu Feng told him. If the consequence of Ning Yi's spell was to take his own life, then even if he was put into the gate of time and space, I am afraid that it would not be able to alleviate it. It may take an incomparably long time before eventually dying. And in this process, Ning Yi could no longer appear in front of several people no matter what.
For Dongwangfu, Ning Yi was killed in the conflict with Xu Feng. Xu Feng said that he was not dead, but no one could see him, so that was nonsense. A person who can never be seen is equivalent to death.
Huang Yuchen didn't know how to explain for a while, and finally sighed lightly and said, "Xu Feng said that Senior Ning used the formation secret technique Wan Lai Heavenly Desecration to confront the Venerable head-on, which eventually led to the backlash of the curse seal, and in order to save his life, he was put into the gate of time and space, and we may not be able to see him in the future." ”
When Huang Yuanwu heard this, a bitter smile appeared on his face. His feelings for Ning Yi are much more complicated than those of Huang Yuchen. Ning Yi was a few years older than Huang Yuanwu, and he was brought up by Ye Guan, and he was regarded as Ye Guan's disciple. Since childhood, he has grown up in the East Wangfu and has always followed Ye Guan. Since Ye Guan was seriously injured, Ning Yi entered the staff of the East Palace, gave advice, and finally relied on his talent to become the chief staff of the East Palace, and because he was proficient in the formation, he became the chief formation mage of the East Palace.
Ning Yi has always been conscientious and conscientious about Dongwangfu, plus this person has a flexible mind, has learned a lot, and can handle big and small matters properly. After Ye Guan returned to seclusion, Ning Yi became the right-hand man of the East King, and he would take Ning Yi with him wherever he went. Huang Yuanwu himself also has more respect for Ning Yi, but this feeling has changed very subtly after his father died in the imperial capital.
followed his father to the high-level of the Eastern Palace's Mansion in the imperial capital, and Ning Yi was the only one. This was also in response to the order of the King of the East, and he forcibly demanded that the three brothers including Huang Yuanwu must stay in the East Palace, and no one should accompany them. And the four city lords are already in a state of seclusion, and they will not go out with the East King. Ning Yi accompanied him, and everyone thought that there would be no problem, but this time, something went wrong.
To say that Huang Yuanwu didn't have any complaints about Ning Yi in his heart, it was impossible. After Ning Yi returned to the palace, he was in a coma due to excessive sadness and fatigue, and after waking up, he had a long talk with Huang Yuanwu.
It was during this long conversation that Huang Yuanwu understood the key to the battle of the imperial capital. Why did the king of the east lead a small number of troops into the inner city, but left most of the troops and Ning Yi outside to confront the army of the three kings. If you want to blame, you can only blame the king of the east for being too loyal, as the king of the border of praying for the sky, he obeyed the emperor's orders, even though he knew that there might be problems here, but in the end he obeyed the emperor's orders and led the men and horses into the imperial capital.
After the East King led the troops into the Imperial City, Yang Qin immediately launched an attack, and at that time, the large army of the East King Mansion was still facing off against the Three Kings' troops, and there was no news at all. It wasn't until the imperial city was captured and the king of the east led the rest of the men and horses to retreat to the inner city that there was a chance to spread a message ordering Ning Yi to lead the people of the eastern palace to retreat and not to attack the imperial capital.
This order of the East King can be regarded as the last order to Ning Yi, and his tone is resolute. Ning Yi thought about it again and again, and finally obeyed the order of the East King, broke the troops of the East Palace, and retreated to the East Palace.
As for why he didn't attack the imperial capital, Ning Yi didn't say in detail, and Huang Yuanwu didn't ask in detail. Such a thing is tacitly understood by each other, and it is impossible to explain it face to face. At that time, Huang Yuanwu was not at the scene, but he also knew that Ning Yi and his father had made the most correct decision, otherwise, now the Dongwang Mansion was likely to be destroyed, and the army of the three kings would definitely use the banner of destroying the thieves to level the entire territory of the Dongwang Mansion. The 200,000 troops of the Eastern Wangfu are definitely not the opponents of the three kings joining forces.
If he forcibly entered the imperial capital at that time, the Eastern Palace, he would be a thief who trespassed, and the emperor died in the inner city, at that time, the palace would not be able to be washed away no matter what.
Dongwang and Ning Yi both saw through this, and the outcome of Dongwang's death was already doomed since he led his troops into the imperial capital.
At that time, Ning Yi obstructed in every possible way, but in the end, the king of the east still entered the imperial capital. It's just that at that time, the armies of the three kings were all dozens of miles outside the imperial capital, and the troops of the Eastern Wangfu were stationed near the imperial capital, and the imperial capital had always been peaceful, and it was impossible for a large rebel force to appear. Although Ning Yi felt that it was inappropriate at that time, he definitely couldn't count that Yang Qin would rebel. After all, the Yang Qin family has been integrated into Qitian for three generations, and Yang Qin's hometown Wangqin also has a high degree of autonomy, and even Yang Qin's family has always been the royal family of Wangqin, and the favor of the Qitian royal family to Wangqin's small country is already extremely high, no one would have thought that Yang Qin would rebel, and suddenly he could gather thousands of people and horses, and the armor was sufficient.
Yang Qin's sudden rebellion caught the Dongwang Mansion off guard. The choice to retreat on all fronts was to prevent the East Palace, which became the target of the public, and the last order of the East King was to sacrifice himself and preserve the entire palace.
The East King has such a temperament, and the temperament of the eldest son, Huang Yuanwu, is the most similar to that of his father. As soon as he learned the news, although he was resentful in his heart, he wanted to rush out immediately to avenge his father, but in the end he still chose a conservative approach, first sent troops to occupy the enclave, and after gaining strategic depth, he was strong and waited for the opportunity to send troops. Only in this way can the palace be preserved to the greatest extent and not be crushed by the wheels of generations in this chaos.
If Huang Yuanwu had no complaints about Ning Yi in his heart, it was impossible. But he also has absolute trust in Ning Yi, and Ning Yi has no choice but to make such a decision. It's just that after the two of them were open and honest, Ning Yi also knew that Huang Yuanwu would have a pimple in his heart when he saw him, and finally invited himself to Pingjin City, where he could watch Xiao Yibo on the one hand, and open Huang Yuanwu's sight more on the other, so that both of them could be more comfortable.
Ning Yi's accident this time was a heavy blow to the East Palace, and Ning Yi's ability was second to none, especially his formation ability. Before that, no one would believe that Ning Yi had the combat power to confront the Venerable head-on, but this kind of combat power had to cost his life.
"Hey......" With a long sigh, Huang Yuanwu said to Huang Yuchen with a bitter face: "Your Uncle Xiao said in the letter that Ning Yi used a secret technique to confront the Venerable head-on, and with his cultivation as the foundation, to control such a large amount of energy, thinking about it, it is impossible to survive." As soon as he thought of this, Huang Yuanwu had mixed feelings in his heart, and he was unspeakably uncomfortable, he felt uncomfortable when Ning Yi was there, but now that he learned that Ning Yi was gone, he felt even more uncomfortable. Human emotions are really confusing.
Huang Yuchen was silent, he and Ning Yi had the best relationship, his own formation introduction and the control of many spells were taught by Ning Yi, he and Ning Yi were also teachers and friends, he called Ning Yi a senior in his mouth, but in fact, in Huang Yuchen's heart, Ning Yi was his brother, and he cared for himself meticulously. After learning the news of Ning Yi's disappearance before, he was so anxious that he almost turned his face with Xu Feng. But since he entered the portal of time and space, this feeling has disappeared.
The gate of time and space is extremely mysterious, and if Ning Yi is in it, he may really be able to find some way to dissolve the energy of the backlash. I don't know if I will be able to meet him in the future.
"Big brother doesn't have to worry too much. Huang Yuchen looked at Huang Yuanwu, tried his best to make his expression relaxed, and said: "I will contact Xu Feng in the future, and I will ask about this matter in detail, he said that Senior Ning is not dead, I think it should not be without purpose, there must be his reasons." ”
Huang Yuanwu sighed softly again, this was the first time in recent times that he had shown his true emotions in front of people, whether it was restless or full of concern, it was not false to hide. He gently rubbed his forehead with his hand and said softly, "The matter has come to this point, and there is no other way." It's just Yuchen, don't blame the big brother for being verbose, you must pay more attention to this Xu Feng. ”
"Big brother, don't worry. Huang Yuchen smiled.
"Good. Huang Yuanwu said, stood up, glanced at Huang Yuchen, Huang Yuchen also hurriedly got up, standing beside Huang Yuanwu, Huang Yuanwu reached out and patted his younger brother's shoulder, looked at him deeply, didn't say anything, turned around, passed through the faint soundproof barrier, and walked out of the cave.
Huang Yuchen looked at his eldest brother's back, and suddenly felt that his eldest brother's back was a little lonely and indescribably lonely.
He sighed softly, he originally wanted to tell his eldest brother everything, but when the words came to his mouth, he still didn't say it, and after that, these things would become forever secrets and be buried in his heart.
