When Liu Yuan heard Ye Guan's words, he nodded lightly and said no more. This time I came to the enclave, which was mainly based on Ye Guan, and it was the best result to be able to surrender without a fight. The peaceful reception enclave is the outcome that Dongwangfu wants to see the most at this moment.

According to Ye Guan's estimate, Tian Yuanbai's army would evacuate Wufeng City before sunset. The purpose of their stationing in the Wufeng City area has lost its meaning, and it will be in vain to stay here. If the rest of the troops really entered the Wufeng City area and saw Tian Yuanbai's army, it would not be beneficial for both sides to fight. Almost all of the sergeants under Tian Yuanbai's command were from the Leyang City area, and since Wufeng City had surrendered to the Dongwang Mansion, he might as well bring all the troops back to Leyang City and wait and see what happened.

Ye Guan and Liu Yuan talked for a while, then pushed the door out, returned to his bedroom, sat in the front hall, quietly drank tea and waited.

I had an agreement with the spy centurion I found before, and after returning to Wufeng City, let him come to him. Ye Guan decided to settle this matter before leaving Wufeng City.

Xu Bao is the name of this centurion. It has been seven years since he joined Dongxuancheng, Dongwangfu. Since joining Dongxuancheng, he has served in the army under the command for the rest of his life, serving as a sergeant guarding Dongxuancheng, and has never been on the battlefield with the army of Dongwangfu.

Long before he came to the East Palace, he was the first person of the Northern Emperor. The Northern King took advantage of the opportunity of the Eastern Palace's expansion of the scale of the sergeants, and installed many eyeliners under the command of the Eastern Palace, and Xu Bao was just one of them. And there is only one Xu Bao who really achieves the centurion level under the command of the East Prince's Mansion.

Xu Bao, born in Shanle County, Sizhong Province, Qitian Empire, his family was poor, his father died early, and there was only one mother in the family, who raised him with hard work. In his childhood memories, there was basically no time when he could eat enough. Although the Qitian Empire was strong and the policy towards the Li people was very lenient, among the Li people, Xu Bao's family background was also very poor.

Fortunately, Xu Bao has a good talent and a talent for martial arts, and by chance, he got acquainted with a captain under the command of the Northern Palace, who is mainly responsible for the transmission of news from the Northern Palace's other provinces. When he was a teenager, he basically followed the captain and ran around. This captain was good to Xu Bao, not only solved his family's food problem, but also taught him to cultivate, coupled with Xu Bao's good talent, when he was fifteen years old, he had an advanced level of cultivator.

Later, the North King wanted to insert Xizuo into the East Wangfu and ask him to deliver the news, and this task fell to Xu Bao's captain and asked him to nominate a candidate. Xu Bao entered the Dongwang Mansion under such an opportunity.

After entering the East Palace, he passed on news to the North Palace from time to time, including the news of the twenty cities under the rule of the East Palace, mainly Dongxuancheng. The North Wangfu has planted a lot of such eyeliner in the territory of the East Wangfu, so it can know the East Wangfu well.

Time passed quickly, and the longer the contact time, the more Xu Bao felt that things didn't seem to be what Huang Zhengchu said. The top and bottom of the Eastern Palace, implementing the precepts of the ancestors of the heavens, are very tolerant of all the Li people under their rule, and even when they are expanding, they try to use the Huairou strategy as much as possible not to hurt the Li people on both sides. This is very different from the Dongwang Mansion he has heard of.

Slowly, Xu Bao didn't want to do what he was doing now, and the more he did, the more he felt guilty. Especially the rest of the city lord's life, he treats soldiers like sons, he is one of the four city lords of the East Palace, and he is also a marquis in the empire, not only does he not have a little shelf, but he is also very related to the daily life of the soldiers. Xu Bao, who has hardly felt any good looks since he was a child, slowly tilted the balance in his heart towards the East Palace.

But he knew in his heart that his entry into the Dongwang Mansion was arranged by the Northern Emperor Zhengchu, and if he continued to do the thing of delivering the news, his mother who stayed in Shanle County and the captain who took good care of him before might be killed.

It was with such a contradictory mood that Xu Bao arranged a formation in the Wufu of Dongxuan City to help the Northern King complete the foreshadowing. After doing this, he thought that Huang Yuanwu would immediately investigate the matter thoroughly, but unexpectedly, he was sent to Ye Guan and entered the enclave to complete more important things.

Especially today, Ye Guan's words to himself made Xu Bao feel even more embarrassed. Ye Guan obviously knew what he had done, but he did not punish himself.

Standing outside Ye Guan's bedroom, Xu Bao's face was solemn.

He didn't know what Ye Guan would do with him, and he didn't know what his future would be. He was not a traitor, but he did a lot of things that hurt the Dongwang Mansion by mistake.

"Oooo Xu Bao stepped forward and knocked on Ye Guan's door gently.

"Come in. Ye Guan's soft voice came, Xu Bao pushed open the door, walked in, first turned around and closed the door of the bedroom, then turned around, knelt straight on the ground, and said, "Sinner Xu Bao, I have seen Ye City Lord." ”

"Get up, this is not the East Palace, you are not my subordinate, you don't need to salute me. Ye Guan whispered, Xu Bao looked up, and saw Ye Guan sitting on the Taishi chair, drinking tea quietly, with a smile on his face and a flat look in his eyes.

"Xu Bao is guilty, and the crime against the East Wangfu is unforgivable. In front of the Ye City Lord, he got up without a face. Xu Bao was still kneeling on the ground, without the slightest intention of getting up.

"Huh. Seeing Xu Bao's appearance, Ye Guan smiled lightly and said: "Since the Dongwang Mansion arrived on the bank of the Canglan River, the eyeliner of other kings in the mansion, including His Majesty's eyeliner, is countless, and what you have done, I don't know how many people have done it." Besides, the little prince didn't order me to do anything to you, you should get up first. ”

When Xu Bao heard Ye Guan say this, his heart was even more mixed, and he slowly stood up from the ground, just lowered his head and stood in place, not daring to look up at Ye Guan. He naturally knew in his heart that the Guangbei Royal Mansion had a lot of eyeliner in the East Palace, not to mention several other palaces. But after all, he attacked the little prince of the East Palace, and this sin is naturally greater.

"Don't have anything in your mind. Ye Guan said softly: "I didn't call you here to condemn you. Besides, what you do to the little prince, even if you don't do it, there will be other people to do it, if someone else does it, it may not be as simple as a single sound transmission formation. ”

Xu Bao lowered his head and said nothing. No matter what Ye Guan said, he felt embarrassed.

"The way you arrange the formation, the little prince let people see. Ye Guan continued: "Without a foundation, you can't do it like this, let me ask you, the formation that surrounds the little prince and the city lord Yu, but you carved it yourself?"

When Xu Bao heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then told the truth, and said: "The Lord of Huiye City is portrayed by the sinner himself. ”

Ye Guan nodded lightly, as early as when Huang Yuanwu told him about it, he had a guess in his heart. Huang Yuchen's formation ability cannot be overestimated, and the formation that he can't easily break through should not be carved with rune paper.

"How old are you this year?" Ye Guan continued to ask.

"The sinner this year, twenty-five, eighteen years old, entered the East King's Mansion. Xu Bao replied truthfully.

"Alright. When Ye Guan heard Xu Bao's age, his heart moved slightly, but his face was silent, and he said: "You go back, go back to the Dongwang Mansion with me in the future, and I will tell the little prince about your affairs." ”

When Xu Bao heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly looked up at Ye Guan and said, "City Lord Ye, don't you offend me?" After all, I have attacked the little prince, and I have arranged a formation in the Dongxuancheng Martial Mansion, this is a big crime, what face do I have to go back to the Dongwang Mansion? It is better to let me stay in the enclave and die on the battlefield. ”

"Huh. Ye looked at Xu Bao, smiled lightly, and said, "Didn't you say before that you were willing to stay in the Dongwang Mansion until death?"

"I said it, but ......" Xu Bao had mixed feelings in his heart, he didn't know what Ye Guan meant, he came to see Ye Guan today, it was to report the feeling of being convicted of a serious crime. Everything he had done before was like a big stone pressing down on his heart, and now, instead of removing this big stone, the pressure is even greater.

"Nothing more. Ye Guan interrupted Xu Bao's words: "Let you go back, you will go back and do your job." There will be no war after the enclave, and you will die on the battlefield, wasting your talents. Let's get out. ”

"Ye City Lord ......"

"Get out!" Xu Bao wanted to say a few words, but was ordered to evict guests by Ye Guan, so he had no choice but to exit the door and walk back. In my heart, there are mixed tastes.

In this dialogue, the guilty man is bent on death, but the person in power does not let him die, and he does not even have the intention of blaming at all, which looks a little weird.

Of course, Xu Bao didn't know that in Ye Guan's heart, a net had been weaved. Xu Bao will play some role in this net.

For the Northern Emperor Zhengchu, Ye Guan did not believe that the Emperor Yuanwu would have no heart for revenge, and although the Eastern Wangfu followed the ancestral teachings, he had no defense against other kings, and he did not covet the throne. But to think that the East Wangfu is muddy, it would be a big mistake.

Regarding the fact that there are other forces in the territory of the East Palace, Huang Yuanwu has long known about it. Including the king of the east, they didn't take these things seriously. When the new emperor ascended the throne, he naturally had a guard against several border kings with heavy troops, and the other kings were also on guard against each other. Dongwangfu has no desire to compete for hegemony, and only does its own thing, so there is a lot less trouble.

However, what happened in Dongxuancheng City was beyond Huang Yuanwu's expectations. Therefore, Huang Yuan Wu made the decision to clean up his eyeliner.

For what the Northern Emperor Zhengchu did in the East Palace, Huang Yuanwu would definitely retaliate, and Ye Guan needed Huang Yuanwu to make all the preparations before he made up his mind. And this Xu Bao is part of the preparation.

The reason why Ye Guan has such a high status in the East Wangfu has a lot to do with his measured work and his ability to take precautions.

The sun is slowly setting in the west.

As Ye Guan expected, in the evening, Tian Yuanbai's army began to pull out the camp, and before night, the preparation was completed and began to withdraw from the Wufeng City area.

Liu Tianyi, standing on the wall of Wufeng City, looked at the 40,000 elite soldiers who were slowly withdrawing in the distance, his brows furrowed slightly.

Until now, he didn't know what Ye Guan and Tian Yuanbai said, and whether Tian Yuanbai's sudden withdrawal would have any impact on him.

The breeze moved slightly, and Ye Guan's figure appeared on Liu Tianyi's side. Liu Tianyi only felt that there was a movement around him, and Ye Guan had already appeared, and he was shocked in his heart.

"Ye City Lord......" Liu Tianyi felt a little embarrassed, Ye Guan suddenly appeared beside him, and he felt that Ye Guan seemed to see through himself.

"Chief Liu. Ye Guan also looked at the troops who were evacuating in the distance, and said softly to Liu Tianyi: "I went to Tian Yuanbai's camp this time, and he already knew about the affairs in Wufeng City. For their retreat, please don't think too much about it. ”

"Ah......" Liu Tianyi saw Tian Yuanbai retreating with the army, and just had some thoughts in his heart, Ye Guan suddenly said this in front of him, which made Liu Tianyi very embarrassed, and he was busy: "What City Lord Ye said is that you have been to the camp, Tian Yuanbai naturally knows the current situation of Wufeng City, but it is just ...... I don't know what his attitude is. ”

"It doesn't matter what his attitude is. Ye glanced at Liu Tianyi and said, "Leader Liu, today, you can give an order to order all the cities in the enclave to surrender to the East Palace." ”

After saying that, without waiting for Liu Tianyi to say anything, Ye Guan's figure turned into a pale cyan light and disappeared above the city.

Liu Tianyi, his brows furrowed slightly, he watched this pale cyan light light descend from Wufeng City, and went straight to the road, not knowing where Ye Guan went.
