The situation before the imperial capital was unpredictable, and in the territory of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, Pingjin City, Yu Sheng and Xiao Yibo had not had a good time recently.

Since Huang Yongning disappeared, before the newly appointed officials took office, the food and grass supplement of the Pingjincheng garrison gave some minor problems.

The baggage convoy, which was supposed to arrive two days ago, only arrived today, which made the originally calculated grain and grass a slight deficit. This seemingly insignificant little thing has aroused the vigilance of the rest of my life.

When Huang Yongning was there, he could command twenty cities under his rule, deploy all kinds of materials, and he could control all the instructions by himself, so he didn't need to worry about the supply of troops for the rest of his life. However, the disappearance of Huang Yongning directly led to many problems such as chaos in the internal management of the Dongwang Mansion, untimely allocation of materials, and lack of strict control.

This is also inevitable, because the twenty cities of the East Wangfu were originally divided into four parts, which had been in charge of the four major city lords before, and then unified deployment by the East Wangfu, and the operation was very normal. But in recent days, things have been going on in the East Palace, and the four city lords have been transferred, especially Wuxing City, which is in charge of Ye Guan, although Ye Guan also left the original team responsible for leading the affairs in Wuxing City, but because Ye Guan's whereabouts are unknown, various problems have also occurred. In addition, the recent expansion of the army in the Dongwangfu has had a great impact on Wuxing City, and the control of Wuxing City has become a major concern for Huang Yongning for a while, and it has not subsided until recently.

Huang Yuanwu's final order has been issued, and the list of officials provided by Huang Yongning has all been approved. When Huang Yongning left, he left a detailed list, the appointment of these people can directly solve the impact of his departure, and Huang Yongning's main position, he recommended a person to come up, this person is named Jin Jingshan, is ten years ago Chun Yu Jinshi, was arranged by the new emperor to serve in the East Palace, since arriving in the East Palace, has been following Huang Yongning, and also helps deal with some daily affairs.

This person is extremely capable, Huang Yongning is also very relieved of this person, he has served in the East Mansion for ten years, rooted in the East Palace, married a wife and had children, and the East Palace also gave him a high treatment. However, as far as the structure of the previous Dongwang Mansion is concerned, such literati talents have little development prospects in the Dongwang Mansion, after all, the Dongwang Mansion is mainly for the development of the army, and the overall planning of internal affairs mainly depends on the four major city lords.

Now that the East Wangfu is eventful, especially the disappearance of Huang Yongning, Jin Jingshan is immediately revealed. As an internal affairs talent, his ability to coordinate is not under Huang Yongning.

Based on the above points, Huang Yongning recommended Jin Jingshan as his relay and was responsible for coordinating the resources of the entire Dongwang Mansion.

But after all, this person is not a descendant of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, and letting such a person take such an important position shows the pressure faced by Huang Yuanwu at that time.

There was a small problem with grain and grass this time, which aroused the vigilance of the rest of his life. The current situation of Dongwangfu may be even worse than he imagined. At present, outside Pingjin City, there are still 150,000 soldiers, and these troops are assembled to prevent changes in the direction of the imperial capital. Judging from the current situation of grain and grass, in the absence of any supply, the army's grain and grass is still enough to consume for 15 days, and the supply is two days late, and the current stock can be consumed for 13 days.

In other words, once there is a problem with the supply of grain and grass for the army of the Eastern Palace, the army on the front line of Huangyuanwu will only have about fifteen days of grain and grass to consume. If Huang Yuanwu is unable to resolve the affairs of the imperial capital within fifteen days, there may be changes in the rear.

In this regard, Yu Sheng thought twice about it, and decided to slow down the construction of the wall, reduce the consumption of labor, and let a large number of laborers return to their hometowns, which can also minimize the consumption of grain reserves in the palace.

For the tense situation in the direction of the imperial capital, not only the rest of his life, Xiao Yibo is also very concerned.

The task assigned to him by Huang Yuanwu has basically been completed, and the 50,000 new recruits who have recently been recruited have reserved the ability to defend the city, and under the deployment of Xiao Yibo, these 50,000 soldiers were divided into five echelons today, and they went to the other four cities under the rule of Pingjin City to garrison.

The defensive circle outside Pingjin City was further reduced, and the soldiers stationed outside the city now were all the divisions of the Dongwang Mansion. Now looking at the entire Qitian Empire, there may be only one force in the Eastern Wangfu with such a powerful force. This is also one of the reasons why the actions of the East Prince's Mansion are so important.

Huang Yuchen's recent days have been stable and tense, constantly exercising his body every day, so that his body recovers steadily, and after a few days of practice, now he does not rely on the power of the formation, he can also walk and run like ordinary people, but his physical strength is slightly worse than ordinary people.

The cultivation of Dou Qi still has not recovered, no matter how hard Huang Yuchen works to run the exercises, the surrounding natural forces don't seem to be able to see him, and they can't resonate with his exercises, let alone condense and transform the natural power into Dou Qi. His meridians are still empty, and there is no fighting spirit at all.

Huang Yuchen was also very helpless about this situation, and he also asked Qi Zhengye and Liu Xing'an, but the two had never encountered such a problem, and in the end, it could only be attributed to his body not fully recovered.

In recent days, Qi Zhengye and Liu Xing'an have gradually reduced their time to meditate, and they began to chat with Huang Yuchen as before, which made Huang Yuchen's boring life more fun.

More than half a month has passed, and Huang Yuchen has not yet taken a step out of the Pingjin City City Lord's Mansion. Mainly because there was a strict order for Yu Sheng, Huang Yuchen was not allowed to step out of the City Lord's Mansion, and the soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion obeyed Yu Sheng's orders, and no one dared to let Huang Yuchen out. Huang Yuchen can also understand this matter, after all, he was attacked many times when he was in a coma, and these people will inevitably make a comeback.

Since the last time he saw Zuo Xin in prison, Huang Yuchen has put this matter aside for the first time, and the main experience is spent on honing his body, and if he doesn't have any self-protection ability, he can't go anywhere.

Such days reminded him of his childhood time in the palace. Every day, I just practice by myself, and I don't know all the news from the outside world, and the only happy moment is when a few brothers return from the expedition and tell myself some things about what they have seen outside. Now in Pingjin City, there is no other difference except for the two more Qi Zhengye and Liu Xing'an around him.

The affairs of the imperial capital, the affairs of the palace, and even the abduction of the second brother Huang Yongning, Huang Yuchen did not know, and he never told him for the rest of his life. Every day, only in the evening, the rest of his life would come to see him and say something inconsequential, as for Xiao Yibo, he had never come to see him since the last time he saw him.

They didn't say anything to themselves, and Huang Yuchen naturally thought that nothing big had happened. In fact, Pingjin City has been very calm recently, just like the snowflakes that are slowly falling in this winter, quiet and comfortable.

On this day, at noon, in front of the camp in Pingjin City, a group of three people appeared.

At the head was a woman, with a light veil on her face and a pure white mink coat, which seemed to melt with the whole snow from a distance. Behind her, there were two men, one tall and one short, tall and mighty, with a strong body, and a short and thin body, seemingly weak.

The three of them appeared near the military camp outside Pingjin City, and immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding patrol sergeants, and surrounded the three of them at the first time, and immediately informed the rest of the life of the news of the appearance of three unknown people.

The three of them, who were surrounded by a group of sergeants, did not have the slightest nervousness. The woman at the head wrapped her entire body in a pure white canopy, and looked at the soldiers of the Dongwang Mansion with a nervous expression in front of her.

The first time he appeared in front of the camp was not Yu Sheng, but Xiao Yibo, who was patrolling the camp, and he arrived at the scene as soon as he heard that three unknown people appeared in the barracks.

Since the last time Huang Yuanwu's letter came back, coupled with the sudden disappearance of Huang Yongning, the garrison outside Pingjin City has gathered up its defensive formation, strengthened its patrol, and has always been in a state of combat readiness. When people appeared, some of the sergeants looked nervous, and there were also excusable circumstances.

Although they were suspicious people, Yu Sheng and Xiao Yibo had never given an order to capture the living people immediately, and there were only three people on the other side, although they didn't say anything, but looking at the appearance of the three people, they were not ordinary people, so the sergeant reported the matter to the two commanders as soon as possible.

Before Xiao Yibo came to the barracks, he was stunned when he saw that the leader was a woman, and then looked at the outfits and appearances of the three people, and felt that something was unusual.

The woman saw Xiao Yibo at a glance, and then stepped forward, but was blocked by the guarding sergeant, and had to open her mouth to fight at Xiao Yibao and said: "Presumably, the senior is the Lord of Xiao City, and the junior is Lin Yiyi of the Chihong Sect, and he is here to pay a visit on the order of the head of the sect." ”

"Red Rainbow Sect?" Xiao Yibo was stunned when he heard this, he looked at the woman in front of him who had no sense of nervousness, and suddenly wondered in his heart. Not long ago, the Red Rainbow Sect sent people to harass Huang Yuchen, and finally three cultivation masters fought in Pingjin City, injuring several people. One of the three sneak attackers was caught red-handed, and the other two who escaped also appeared at the gate of Pingjin City the next day, and are still locked up in the prison of Pingjin City. Now that the Red Rainbow Sect actually sent people directly to contact Pingjin City, there must be some scheme.

"The people of the Red Rainbow Sect, what are you doing in my Pingjin City?" Xiao raised his eyebrows, obviously not having any good feelings towards the people of the Red Rainbow Sect.

"The juniors came abruptly, without notifying the seniors in advance, and I ask the seniors to forgive me. As he spoke, Lin Yiyi took out an item from the big hat and held it on the palm of his hand, it was a crystal clear jade plate, which was crystal clear under the winter sun: "This is the sect leader of the Red Rainbow Sect, and we are here to pick up the three junior disciples who are guests in Pingjin City on the order of the master." ”

"Guest, you're talking lightly. At this time, Yu Sheng's voice came from behind him, he took a few steps forward, looked at Lin Yiyi in front of him, and his eyes were cold.
