Chapter 151: After the storm
Several teams of soldiers left, followed the main road of Dongxuan City, heading to different directions, and handed the orders of Yu Sheng to the five cities of Dongxuan City.
The other teams of sergeants sent before, except for the first team who met Xiao Yibao halfway and returned normally, the other teams of sergeants have not been heard from now.
Xiao Yibo rode his way out last night and went out of the city to find Ye Guan and Liu Yuan. There is no news at the moment, but depending on the time, if there is nothing wrong with a few people, they should have entered the city soon.
After everything was arranged, Huang Yuanwu leaned on the chair in the room, let out a long breath, picked up the tea cup, and drank the tea quietly.
Huang Yuchen no longer had the relaxed and comfortable feeling he had before. He sat next to Huang Yuanwu, frowned and his thoughts flew.
After what happened last night, he had a new understanding of the battle for hegemony on the battlefield.
I have always heard that the throne of the empire is extremely dangerous. If it is handled improperly, it will cause brothers to get into trouble and the world will be in chaos.
When Huang Yuchen heard about this, he didn't agree with it at first. He had a very harmonious relationship with his brothers. He always followed his elder brother Huang Yuanwu's leader, and he had no intention of competing for the throne of the Eastern Prince's Mansion. He always felt that these things were a bit alarmist and not as terrible as they were.
Now it seems that things are so terrifying.
The three kings guarding the border sent troops to force him because of his order. The emperor was besieged in the inner city of the imperial capital. The kings with military power did not want to go to rescue him, so they found a master to warn the Eastern Palace that in order to prevent the Eastern Palace from joining the war, they actually killed so many Pingming people.
Although I don’t know who it was, Huang Yuchen had no fondness for the other royal palaces guarding the border. If they had not sent troops in the name of King Conquer, their father would not have led their troops to quell the rebellion. If the father did not lead their troops to quell the rebellion, there would not have been any confrontation between the soldiers and the horses, which gave Yang Qin a chance.
The culprit of all this is the other three royal palaces. If they had no intention of being unjust, even if Yang Qin had a thousand tricks, things would not have developed to this point.
Huang Yuchen frowned, thinking about these things, and couldn't help but clench his fists and bit his steel teeth.
Huang Yuanwu saw Huang Yuchen's strangeness, but he didn't say anything. At this time, he still had to think about it himself. The situation he was facing at the moment was not a matter of one person, but a matter of the entire force.
For the Eastern Prince's Mansion, especially after this storm, Huang Yuchen's existence became crucial. No matter who the enemy was, they had powerful powers who were proficient in formations to help. However, except for Huang Yuchen, there was only Ning Yi, who was proficient in formations, but he was not on the same level as this formation power. If Huang Yuchen was gone, if the opponent took action in the future, he would use the formation talisman paper to obstruct or investigate, and he would have no choice.
After this storm, Huang Yuanwu's views on his youngest brother also changed a little. At first, he felt that his younger brother Huang Yuchen was a future star with amazing talent and hard work, but it was not suitable for battle on the battlefield, and he did not mean to join.
This time I brought him out, mainly because I was afraid that he would be left unattended in the Eastern Palace, and that he knew about his father's affairs and made some impulsive actions.
But in this storm, Huang Yuchen's performance made him look at him with admiration.
Not only did his cultivation progress exceed his imagination, but he also acted decisively. The two of them were surrounded by the Five Combination Formation. If Huang Yuchen had not taken the action decisively, quickly judged the situation, and finally overdrawn his physical strength and forced the formation to break, I am afraid that he would have suffered serious internal injuries that time, and it is also a question whether the Eastern King Yinxin can be saved.
This kind of courage and keen mind in battle was something I didn't know before.
Huang Yuanwu did not expect that Huang Yuchen could do this. This younger brother, who grew up secretly in the Eastern Palace since childhood and rarely went out, exploded and had such power.
Since this is the case, Huang Yuchen must have his own understanding of what he is facing now, rather than blindly obeying his own orders. If he cannot find the direction in this turmoil and has no goal, even if he keeps protecting it, it will be useless in the end.
Huang Yuanwu had a faint smile on his face, looked at Huang Yuchen in contemplation, and drank tea quietly.
Time passes, and it is afternoon in a blink of an eye.
After another busy day in his life, he personally led a team to help the people clean up the remains of their relatives in the city, arrange to clean up burned houses, and arrange accommodation for these homeless people. He opened the grain warehouse, distributed food to the suffering people, and personally distributed pensions for the dead soldiers, striving to heal the pain caused by the disaster to the greatest extent.
After several days of high-intensity mental labor, even though he had the cultivation of a martial artist for the rest of his life and was full of energy, he couldn't stand it anymore. When dealing with some things, his reaction was obviously half a beat slower than before, but fortunately, no trouble happened.
As the city lord Yu Sheng, he has always had a reputation of being fair and just, and loves the people as much as his son. In addition, the enemy did not arouse the emotions of the people, spread rumors and cause trouble, and Yu Sheng did everything himself. To a certain extent, this alleviated the psychological trauma brought to the people by this storm.
In the afternoon, order was restored in Dongxuan City, but in addition to looking a little dilapidated, the streets also returned to peace. The shops facing the street opened the door again and the people began a normal life.
In the streets and alleys, after dinner, the people talked about this storm, but they were consistent in their tone and praised Yu Sheng. I was very grateful for meeting such a good city lord.
All the suffering people were properly settled and their emotions gradually subsided.
The thick clouds of sorrow that enveloped Dongxuan City slowly dissipated.
Yu Sheng, on the way back to the city lord's mansion, he watched the traffic on the street and returned to his former prosperity. He couldn't help but smile on his face. This storm seemed to have finally passed.
When he returned to the city lord's mansion, he did not rest, but went straight to Huang Yuanwu's residence and reported to him everything in the city.
Huang Yuanwu looked at Yu Sheng's tired look, his eyes were covered in blood, and his mood moved slightly, but he did not speak up for Yu Sheng to rest. He knew that even if he said that, Yu Sheng would not go.
The other three city lords have not returned yet, and the messengers sent out and the soldiers who sent the letter have not been sent back. With the character of the rest of their lives, they will definitely not rest assured to rest before they get the news.
Huang Yuanwu handed Yu Sheng a cup of tea on the table, Yu Sheng took it with both hands, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Sometimes, you can understand what the other person is thinking without a word.
Huang Yuanwu and Yu Sheng seemed to be the king and the minister, but they were confidants.
The three of them sat quietly in the wooden house, waiting for the news outside to come back.
This process is really hard to endure.
In the evening, a group of soldiers finally rushed back in turmoil.
Starting from the evening, soldiers who had sent orders came back one after another, all of whom were full of fatigue.
Yu Sheng met the captains of these sergeants as soon as possible and asked in detail about all the processes.
The teams of sergeants sent to deliver the letter, without exception, were all ambushed in the middle and entered the formation barrier without any defense. No matter what method the soldiers used, they could not break the seal and ended up being trapped in the barrier.
But the enemy did not seem to kill everyone, but just trapped them.
The three teams of sergeants sent out to deliver the letter all had this experience. It was not until dawn today that the formation disappeared. They delivered the news as soon as possible, and then rushed back to Dongxuan City desperately without stopping.
According to the imperial military order, the order was too late and he was subject to military law. The three captains knelt in front of Yu Sheng on one knee and requested a surrender. Yu Sheng smiled and explained some of the situation to them, so he asked several people to get up and return to the team.
When the three captains heard that Dongxuan City was attacked, they all looked shocked, but Yu Sheng did not mean to explain in detail, nor did they mean to punish the few people. They had no choice but to retreat and hurried back to the Wu Mansion.
The news about these three teams of sergeants has basically confirmed the speculations in Huang Yuanwu and Yu Sheng.
The enemy knew very well about the Eastern Prince's Mansion. Even if they sent a letter delivery team, they were on that road, they were completely determined. They could arrange formations in advance and siege the soldiers who sent the letter.
It seems that the enemy has been planning for a long time. For them, the Eastern Prince's Mansion is a powerful enemy, otherwise they would not have put in such a big effort just to warn them.
Soon, all the soldiers who went to Dongxuan five cities to send orders returned to the team and reported the details of the orders to Yu Sheng. The city lords of the other four cities under their rule received Yu Sheng's orders and would lead the soldiers to Dongxuan City in person tomorrow.
At this point, everything has come to an end. There are only three city lords who have not returned.
Ye Guan and Liu Yuanxiao made a try.
If the guess is correct, Ye Guan and Liu Yuan will definitely encounter an enemy's sneak attack. This attack is definitely not just a siege. The enemy will definitely invest in ways that can kill the two of them. Otherwise, warning Huang Yuanwu will become a joke.
But in the end, it would definitely not hurt his lives, but even so, Huang Yuanwu was still extremely worried.
Ye Guan has been suffering from secret injuries. Although he himself didn't say it, it looked no different from ordinary people, but Huang Yuanwu knew how vicious the attack Ye Guan blocked for his father was. Ye Guan relied on his strong fighting spirit and the treasures that the Eastern King had always given him, and it was difficult to suppress the injury and not recur. If he was injured again
Report!
A long roar came, and Yu Sheng and Huang Yuanwu's eyes lit up at the same time.
A messenger ran in, knelt in front of the two of them on one knee, clasped his fists with both hands, and reported loudly: Report to the little prince, general. Outside the city, the three city lords are back!
OK! Huang Yuanwu patted the chair, stood up immediately, glanced at Yu Sheng, and went out without looking back.
Chapter completed!
