Huang Yuanwu led an army of 150,000 people, slowly walked on the desolate Gobi, and then marched forward for about a day, and then entered the scope of the imperial capital.

The desolate Gobi is desolate and uninhabited, and as far as the eye can see, you can only see mottled gravel and craggy hills, and from time to time there are some strong and stubborn plants dotted in it, which is a little dazzling in this dark yellow world.

This desert Gobi was originally the border of the Qitian Empire, and now the station of the East Wangfu did not belong to Qitian before.

It was the young king of the East, after laying a large territory for the empire, he invited himself to enter the vast Gobi, and finally found a large piece of land behind the Gobi, and established the Dongwangfu here, unified the aborigines, recuperated, and after decades, there is the current prosperity of the Dongwangfu.

For Qitian, the existence of the East Palace, which is only a relatively powerful border palace.

The East King invited himself into the wilderness, he has his own reasons, whether to escape from the battle of the court, or stay away from the whirlpool of power, these are not important, the important thing is that the East King single-handedly established the East Wangfu, and now the East Wangfu has become a force that cannot be ignored in the Qitian Empire.

Huang Yuanwu's mood was a little heavy, the closer he got to the direction of the imperial capital, the more his thoughts became, and his mood became more and more solemn.

The scouts in front reported that on the border of the imperial capital, no defensive defenders were found. In other words, no matter what the current situation in the imperial capital is, no one deliberately warns of the East Palace. In this way, Huang Yuanwu's mood became a little heavier.

If the current masters of the imperial capital do not have absolute certainty to deal with the East Palace, it is absolutely impossible to do so, at this critical moment of power change, the position of the East Palace, if they want to take the initiative, they must first gain the trust of the East Palace. Or, exclude the East Palace.

But surprisingly, after such a long time, neither the Northern Emperor Zhengchu nor Yang Qin, who now occupies the imperial capital, have not sent a single envoy to visit, as if in their eyes, the East Wangfu no longer exists.

Although Huang Yuanwu said to Yu Sheng and Xiao Yibo that there would be no chance to kill Yang Qin when he went to the emperor this time, it was only at this critical point that the Eastern Palace's mansion must appear to prove that they did not have the heart to rebel against the empire and not give any handle to those in power in the future. But this is only a superficial statement, whether it is Yu Sheng, Xiao Yibo, or Huang Yuanwu himself, they don't believe what he said.

Things will not go in this direction, in the cruel struggle for power, either you die or I die, whether Huang Yuanwu wants to or not, the Eastern Wangfu will definitely be involved in this dispute. In fact, he already knew this in his heart, otherwise he would not have ordered the construction of the city wall, let alone the opening of the southern border.

It is possible that what is in front of Huang Yuanwu is a fierce battle. It is also possible that it is a battle without gunpowder smoke and without blood. But in any case, there must be an understanding of this matter, he will not appear now, once the situation in the imperial capital subsides, and the future emperor sits firmly on the throne, and then the spearhead will be aimed at the East Palace, at that time, the East Palace may face the entire Qitian Empire, tens of thousands of people and millions of heroes. This is something he absolutely does not want to see.

As night approached, Huang Yuanwu ordered the whole army to stop advancing and camp on the spot.

The army immediately began to move, and soon set up the marching tents with them, set up camp, and divided the 150,000-strong army into three large battalions, echoing from end to end, in case of emergency.

When the night was hazy, Huang Yuanwu sat in his big tent, his brows furrowed slightly, thinking about what would happen next, and he was stunned.

Once again, he inevitably thought of his previous time in the palace

In the turmoil, Ye Guan's indifference to himself and Ning Yi's hateful eyes looked at him. Until now, Huang Yuanwu doesn't know what the reason for this is.

Obviously, it has not been a month since Ye Guan went to Tianqing City, and when he came back, he had already become like this, he showed indifference to the life and death of the East Prince's Mansion, and even had a slight feeling that he wanted the East Prince's Mansion to disappear. Look at Ning Yi again, this child raised by his father, his own relatives, actually looked at him with that kind of hatred.

These two people showed no mercy to Huang Yuchen, saying that they wanted to take Huang Yuchen away, but in fact, they were killing people everywhere and wanted to put him to death.

For these, Huang Yuanwu was puzzled, the origin of these things must have something to do with Huang Yuchen, but his youngest brother has been living in the palace, and his first official departure from the palace is still with him, and he has been taken care of by Ye Guan and others for the rest of his life when he goes to the enclave, and nothing abnormal happens. Why do so many people have to stare at Huang Yuchen?

Huang Yuanwu frowned, the only thing he could think of was the relationship between Huang Yuchen and the Mixed Yuan Array. But for the Mixed Yuan Array, although Huang Yuanwu knew about its existence, he didn't know much about it. And as far as he knew, this formation had never been opened since it appeared, but it was in the back, not when, for some reason, it appeared on Yuchen's body.

Huang Yuanwu pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a little headache, the fog was in front of his eyes, he seemed to know a lot of clues, but he couldn't intersperse them together.

Since the last turmoil ended, he hadn't seen a few of the secret guards in the palace, and he didn't seem to remember exactly what happened at the end of that turmoil.

There are only four people left who are still alive who witnessed this process all the time, one is the unconscious Huang Yuchen, and the other two are Qi Zhengye and Liu Xingping's brothers. Huang Yuanwu had communicated with them, but the two of them couldn't remember some details at that time, they only remembered that the two mysterious robe people's spells were shocking, and the methods used by the three more mysterious people who appeared later were simply unimaginable.

Thinking about these things now, it was like having an extremely long dream, and Huang Yuanwu wanted to recall what happened to Huang Yuchen more than once, but no matter what he thought, he couldn't remember. The only thing he remembered was that he saw nine dark guards appear at the same time, and behind them, there were two mysterious people who fell from the sky, an old man and a middle-aged man holding a fan.

This memory of why Huang Yuchen fell into a coma seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and he can't recall it at all.

If it weren't for the fact that Huang Yuchen had been in a coma and sleeping afterwards, Huang Yuanwu would have even really felt that these were all a dream. The things that appeared in front of my eyes at that time may not even be able to dream of it.

What he can clearly remember now is that Ye Guan and Ning Yi finally stepped into the door opened by the mysterious old man and disappeared from then on.

This turmoil seems to have passed, and everything has returned to before, but Huang Yuanwu faintly felt in his heart that this matter was definitely not that simple. About the secrets of the palace, Huang Yuanwu still knows a little, after which mysterious cave his father entered, he brought back a pair of armor, and then Yuchen was born, a vision fell from the sky, and then his father hid Yuchen in the snow, and time passed like this.

At that time, he didn't quite understand his father's intentions, but now Huang Yuanwu somewhat understands. The father must have known something, but he couldn't tell anyone, everything was hidden by him, including the secrets on Yuchen's body, and even the mixed yuan array, the father probably knew a lot.

This time I went to the imperial capital to deal with the affairs of the East Palace

Yi is very important, and there is one more thing that Huang Yuanwu wants to do, that is, to take this opportunity to go to the cave where his father had been before to explore this secret.

Huang Yuanwu knows only these clues, the memory of the events of the year is very vague, and the only one who followed his father was Ye Guan. According to Ye Guan, the cave is very dangerous, but why his father, who is not as good as Ye Guan, can return unharmed, but Ye Guan is seriously injured and dying as soon as he enters the cave, which is very doubtful.

Moreover, staring at Huang Yuchen's power, there is far more than one Tianqing City. In the entire Qitian Territory, countless mysterious forces and sects, most of them knew about the vision that descended from heaven in the Dongwang Mansion back then, and for this kind of thing that is rare in a hundred years, among them, especially among cultivators, it will definitely attract great attention. Even if the father hid this matter for sixteen years, when the father died in battle, the forces that snooped on this matter would stretch out their black hands to the East Palace.

The previous Huang Yuanwu had always felt that it was not a difficult thing to be in charge of the entire Dongwang Mansion, and the officials of all parties were all cultivated by their fathers, and they were inextricably linked with the Dongwang Mansion. Among the army of the Eastern Palace, most of the generals have been on the battlefield with Huang Yuanwu, and Huang Yuanwu has a very high reputation in the palace army and enjoys a high reputation among the people. The East Prince's Mansion has always been very peaceful, the people live and work in peace and contentment, there is no bandit around, and there have been no natural disasters for many years.

But now Huang Yuanwu knows that things are far from being as simple as he thought. After he really took over the Dongwang Mansion, he knew that those threats above the bright side were not threats, and there were ways to deal with them, even if there was a problem with the empire now, Huang Yuanwu had a way out, and there was a way to protect the entire palace. But those forces that were secretly snooping on him really gave him a headache. He didn't know how his father dealt with such a thing at the beginning, but seeing that he had always been calm and light-hearted, and he looked like the world was peaceful, he couldn't see any clues at all.

And when the burden of the Eastern Palace's Mansion was suddenly placed on Huang Yuanwu's shoulders, there were a few times when he really felt that he was about to be crushed.

In the face of a mysterious and unfathomable force as Tianqing City, Huang Yuanwu was almost helpless, not to mention that he now knew that the largest sect force in Qitian would also spy on Huang Yuchen's secrets.

Dealing with such a person makes Huang Yuanwu a little headache when he thinks about it, they are almost everywhere, everywhere, all Huang Yuanwu can do is to hide Huang Yuchen, there is no other better way.

Thinking about these troublesome things in his mind, Huang Yuanwu felt that he had a bad headache, so he simply shook his head, stood up, put on a heavy leather cloak, walked to the door of the big tent, and looked at the sky in the distance.

The night of the Gobi is pure and cold. In late autumn, the surrounding area is even more desolate.

Looking at the pure starry sky, Huang Yuanwu pulled the cloak draped over his shoulders, feeling a little cool.

He didn't know how everything would develop, and it seemed that there was nothing he could do, all he could do was use all his strength to protect his father's inheritance, protect his youngest brother, and that's it.

Most of the sergeants had rested, and in the tent, patrols of seven could be seen walking around the camp from time to time, Huang Yuanwu sighed softly, turned around and returned to the tent.

No matter what he thinks, he will definitely enter the imperial capital tomorrow, and what should come will always come.

The bleak night shrouded everything, just like the mood of Huang Yuanwu now, the road ahead seemed to be lost, unable to figure out or see through.
