Huang Yuanwu sat in the front hall with his brows frowned.

The fifteenth day has arrived, but the two younger brothers have not returned, and I don’t know what happened.

In the evening, scouts returned one after another, bringing the latest news about the two princes.

Huang Yuanwu summoned the scout immediately and learned about his two younger brothers.

Huang Yongning has already come out of the imperial capital and is now stepping up time to rush back. Because he has missed the day of his agreement with Huang Yanghui, he is rushing forward.

Huang Yanghui had already gathered most of the soldiers of the Eastern Prince's Mansion and was rushing back in a mighty manner. This time, Huang Yuanwu repeatedly told him not to let Huang Yanghui act rashly. He was a rare obedient person and really brought the large group of troops back.

After learning this news, Huang Yuanwu breathed a sigh of relief. He was not afraid of anything else, but was afraid that Huang Yanghui would be targeted by other forces while gathering the remaining troops and exterminated him in one fell swoop. He was also worried that Huang Yongning would sneak into the imperial capital, be discovered, and lose his life.

Now that they learned that the two were returning, they were puzzled, and although they were not understanding why other forces had not taken action, they were relieved.

After several days of operation, good news came from Yu Sheng and Xiao Yibao.

For the rest of his life, the number of retired officers and soldiers collected has reached 40,000. He has entered Wuxing City at this moment and is working hard.

Xiao Yibo moved to Wuxing City, and the masters he gathered were as high as a thousand. After investigations one by one, there were a hundred people among them. At this moment, while helping the officers and soldiers for the rest of his life, he was busy interrogating the masters of about 100 people, and he was also in a panic.

At Huang Yuanwu's hands, except for the two thousand soldiers taken away by Ye Guan, the remaining soldiers were only enough to survey and defend the border, and were unable to withdraw their men to help.

Ye Guan, since he brought Liu Yuan and two thousand soldiers into the enclave a few days ago, there has been no news, and there has been no movement yet.

The calmness in recent days has made Huang Yuanwu very uneasy. The other forces must have seen such a big move by the Eastern Prince's Mansion, but they did not take action to block it. I don't know why.

Afterwards, complicated military affairs and trivial matters followed one after another. Huang Yuanwu continued to handle daily affairs, but the clouds circling in his heart never dissipated.

It was not until nightfall that another team of scouts returned and came to pay homage to Emperor Yuanwu, which brought the latest news ahead.

The reason why our forces did not have time to take action to hinder the movement of the Eastern Prince's Mansion was that in order to compete for the right to enter the imperial capital first, the other kings started a war in the wilderness before the imperial capital. The battle was in a dim and inexplicable way.

Upon learning the news, Huang Yuanwu frowned. From the news, he analyzed why they had no time to take care of the East Prince's Mansion and did not attack Huang Yanghui. Now they were too busy to take care of themselves and did not have time to care about these trivial matters. But there was another meaning, which made Huang Yuanwu feel upset.

The three kings fought hard before the imperial capital, and the three sides fought for the right to enter the imperial capital.

Then... the King of the East and His Majesty must be in danger.

Huang Yuanwu frowned, his heart froze, and immediately analyzed several information from the message.

1. The inner city has been destroyed. Your Majesty and his father either sacrificed their country or were captured. However, the three kings can fight, and their situation is more inclined to sacrifice their country.

2. Since the three kings compete for priority to enter the imperial capital, news must have been heard in the imperial capital. I don’t know this news.

True or false, but it must be related to His Majesty's death, otherwise the parties would not be red-eyed and would let go of the battle.

3. Yang Qin has a unclear status. If he had already obtained the inner city, the news that came out was probably due to his arrangements, but he didn't know what methods he used to make the Three Kings really believe that those who entered the imperial capital first would get the treasure.

Several pieces of information were analyzed, and Huang Yuanwu was in a complicated mood.

Something that is basically certain is that something must have happened to the father. If the father is still there, such a thing would not have happened.

Moreover, there was one thing that Emperor Yuanwu did not understand. Since the Eastern Palace had 200,000 soldiers and had not died in the battlefield, Huang Yanghui could still hold them together. Then, with Ning Yi's method, why could the father besieged the inner city, and he still did not arrange an attack until the inner city was destroyed?

Thinking of this, Huang Yuanwu felt upset. The news was almost clear. Why did his father go to the inner city was a mystery, and why he didn't lead his troops to protect the imperial capital was also a mystery. What method did Yang Qin use to rebel to lead his father to the inner city alone, and why did the soldiers of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, which had been confronting the three kings outside, were not rescued?

These are things that Huang Yuanwu couldn't figure out. If he wanted to solve these, he could only wait for Huang Yanghui and Huang Yongning to return, and Ning Yi had to ask clearly.

He was upset, and Huang Yuanwu couldn't sit still in the front hall. He stood up, walked out, and walked straight out of the East Prince's Mansion, paced back and forth near the fortifications, calming his mind.

At this moment, it was already night, and the water of the Canglan River surging, and the waves hit the huge rocks on the river bank, making a surging sound.

The soldiers on duty fought on the lookout pavilion, standing quietly, looking quietly at the end of the bridge, a huge trumpet was supported on the guard post. If the enemy was discovered, they would blow towards it as soon as possible. The trumpet was very loud, and you could hear it when you sat in the Eastern Palace.

On the edge of the river bank are the fortifications built by the East Prince Mansion, which are about the same as a city wall, several dozen feet high, and are not inferior to the walls of ordinary big cities. A few steps above the city wall, the guards are strictly guarded.

In front of this city wall is a bridge leading to the enclave. The bridge deck is extremely wide and can accommodate more than a dozen horses in a row and move forward. The bridge is black all over, as if it is carved from a whole piece of stone. After a long period of erosion, the black stone has no edges and looks smooth and round.

When the Dongwang marched here, he saw this bridge. In the past, the people from the enclaves had many interactions with the military and civilians on the bridge. They traded with each other through the bridge. With the expansion of Qitian, the Dongwang Mansion occupied one side of the bridge. In order to force the enclave to surrender, the bridge was blocked and trade was interrupted.

According to legend, this bridge has existed for thousands of years, but I don’t know how capable it is to build such a majestic bridge on the natural danger of Canglan.

Huang Yuanwu was walking on the city wall at this moment, blowing a breeze with moisture, and his irritability was slightly relieved.

It was already night now, and there were three steps above the city wall and torches were lit within the guard posts to illuminate the small area around. A row of torches were lit, and in the dark night, a fire dragon formed and lying on the bank of the Canglan River.

Huang Yuanwu stood on the city wall and looked at the Black Stone Bridge not far away, feeling a lot.

Ye Guan has been there for several days, but no news has come yet. If it was going well, the news would have been coming back. However, after so many days, there has been no news, which makes Huang Yuanwu worry.

Suddenly, the waves surging

In between, a series of crisp sounds of horse hooves came, and the sound was getting closer and closer, and it came into Huang Yuanwu's ears, which shocked him.

Looking closely, a group of horses rushed over from far to near the wide bridge deck of the Black Stone Bridge and soon arrived under the city wall.

The knight grabbed a brocade box with one hand, raised it high, and shouted loudly: "Good news! Open the city gate!"

Seeing this, Huang Yuanwu was delighted and quickly ordered: "Open the city gate quickly and welcome this person!"

"Ode to the Lord!" The soldiers around him immediately responded and quickly conveyed Huang Yuanwu's orders.

The heavy gate opened with a creaking sound, and the knight rode his horse in. Huang Yuanwu hurried down the stairs to the city wall and went to see the knight.

This man came from the enclave and reported that he was successful, which must be a good thing. Huang Yuanwu quickly stepped down from the city wall and entered the outpost under the city.

As soon as he entered the outpost, he saw a soldier kneeling on one knee, holding the brocade box he had seen on the city wall just now.

"Get up!" Huang Yuanwu said softly, turned around and sat down on the chair beside him, looked at the sergeant, and asked, "You claim good news, but has there been any progress on City Lord Ye?"

The soldier stood up, holding the brocade box in his hand, with a spring breeze on his face, as if he was extremely happy to see Huang Yuanwu, and said loudly: "Go back to the little prince, Lord Ye and the chief of the enclave reached an agreement. The enclave was willing to surrender the city. The chief of the enclave gave it a seal to the little prince in order to show his sincerity!" As he said that, he handed it on both hands and raised the brocade box over his head.

When Huang Yuanwu heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately ordered his left and right to come forward and take the brocade box.

The sergeant who had been standing behind Huang Yuanwu could step forward, take the brocade box from the soldier's hand, walk to Huang Yuanwu, kneels on one knee, and holds the brocade box high above his head.

Huang Yuanwu looked carefully and saw that the brocade box was exquisitely carved with a giant dragon carved on it. It was elegant and luxurious. Judging from the material, the brocade box seemed to be carved from black jade. This box alone was worth a lot.

Huang Yuanwu stretched out his hand and took the brocade box into his hand. He was cold and he could not make any mistakes.

I was delighted in my heart, and I opened the brocade box with my hands. In the brocade box, a white seal came into my eyes. The white jade was flawless and round and smooth. I reached out and picked it up, but it was like stroking my tender skin. A feeling of smoothness came to my heart.

"Phoenix Essence Jade!" Huang Yuanwu was shocked. When he saw this jade, he felt something was wrong. After buying it, he realized that this was the rare Phoenix Essence Jade in the world. This jade was born among large pieces of pure color jade and was considered a jade essence. Large pieces of red jade were very rare and called Phoenix Jade. This small piece of pure white jade in the center of Phoenix Jade was called Phoenix Essence Jade. This jade was very rare and hard to find. If there was a piece the size of a thumb, hanging it on his body every day, it could help improve his physique and make people feel happy. It was a rare treasure of heaven and earth. The leader of this enclave was so big that he made a seal.

Such treasures, plus the black jade brocade box outside, are priced to rival countries, and they cannot be fake.

The Emperor Yuan general put the seal back into the brocade box, looked at the sergeant in front of him, and asked, "What else did City Lord Ye say to you before you came back?"

The soldier's face did not change, but still smiled, saying, "Zhongzhu Ye said that the matter of the enclave is ready. Please send the soldiers to the handover as soon as possible. The faster the better, the later the change will occur."
