As the sun sets, the clouds in the sky are dyed red by the sun, and a peaceful scene is fascinating.

At this moment, the Eastern Prince's Mansion was silent.

In addition to Huang Yuanwu's personal bodyguards and servants in the mansion, the entire Dongwang Mansion area was less than a thousand soldiers. Most of the soldiers were still left on the city wall to observe the movements of the Black Stone Bridge. The few soldiers left at the garrison were still injured and unable to follow the troops to the front line.

The current Dongwang Mansion is absolutely empty, and all the soldiers were transferred to the front line to fight, and there were no available soldiers in the Dongwang Mansion. This situation has never happened since the establishment of the Dongwang Mansion.

Huang Yuanwu sat in the study with a expressionless face. Outside the door, seven personal guards stood quietly. These seven people are the strongest combat power of the East Prince's Mansion now.

After a day of rapid progress, the soldiers who went to the north should have arrived at the natural danger of Qiuyu Mountain and joined the defensive camp. The northern border surrendered to Qitian for many years and have been recuperating. If they really devoted themselves to Qitian's civil strife this time, they would probably have many gathered troops.

Huang Yuanwu closed his eyes slightly, but his mind was running rapidly.

No news came from all sides. At this time, no news is the best news.

But a mystery always lingers in Huang Yuanwu's heart, making him feel as if he is covered with clouds.

Who is it? It has such a great force, can move enclaves and invites to move the northern border. One is the area that the East Prince Mansion has long conquered, and the other is the area that the East Prince Mansion is about to conquer. Both areas clearly know the strength of the East Prince Mansion. If they can choose such a miserable time to attack the East Prince Mansion, if there is no one behind the scenes, Huang Yuanwu will never believe it.

Gently playing with a bronze coin in his hand, Huang Yuanwu's thoughts flew.

There are only three people in Qitian who can do this, including the Northern King Emperor Zhengchu, the Southern King Emperor Liangping, and the Western King Emperor Chengbi. Among them, the Northern King should be the weakest. There is no war in the north. From the Qitian border to the endless sea coast, there is only one small country left to support it. Your Majesty now intends to withdraw the title of the Northern King Mansion more than once, but because the war against this small country cannot be calmed for a long time, he has not taken action. The Northern King also has his own followers in the palace, so he naturally knows that Your Majesty intends to withdraw the Northern King Mansion. The Northern King should hate His Majesty the most.

The Southern King Huang Liangping has always been relatively scheming. The southern area is close to the central desert and plateau, and the terrain is vast and there is no danger to defend. There are not many wars and there are not many countries in the south. Most of them are nomenclature tribes. It is not beneficial to attack such tribes. Therefore, although the Southern King has captured the largest territory among the four kings, he is the least favored. He cannot bring actual population and tax revenue to the empire, and naturally he cannot obtain strong support from the empire. The Southern King has not had any military achievements for a long time, and His Majesty is a new throne now. I am afraid that he will have a rebellion in his heart, but his strength is not enough and he has been tolerant.

As for the Western King.

Huang Yuanwu felt a little unhappy when he thought of the Western King Emperor Chengbi. This man was a bit arrogant, eccentric, and moody. But he was a rare genius in cultivation. He was about the same age as Huang Yuanwu himself. At this time, he was already a martial arts master. In addition to the Western King's Mansion, he was the most powerful royal palace. In addition to the Eastern King's Mansion, the rebellion of the Three Kings, the Western King Emperor Chengbi must be inseparable from it.

However, the empire has always been very pacified by the Western King, and has never lacked any resources. Logically speaking, the Western King should be the least likely to rebel. As the helmsman of the three kings, why did Huang Chengbi rebel?

Have the ability to do these things to the East Prince Mansion, and have the ability to

The arrangement seemed to point all the spearheads at the King of the West, Emperor Chengbi, but Emperor Yuanwu thought about it, but he always felt something was wrong.

The borders under the charge of the Eastern Prince's Mansion and the Western Prince's Mansion span the entire Qitian Empire, and at least tens of thousands of miles away. With such a long distance, how did the Western Prince's Mansion understand all the movements of the Eastern Prince's Mansion so clearly, and how could it contact the northern border and enclaves and fight back at such a critical moment.

These are all things that Emperor Yuanwu did not analyze clearly. In his opinion, although the Western King's Mansion is strong and has the most soldiers and armor, it is beyond reach. Moreover, the Western King's Mansion is farthest from the Qitian Emperor Capital, and the front line is also the longest. If the three kings fight in front of the imperial capital, the most disadvantage will definitely be the Western King's Mansion. He has no spare energy to think about the Eastern King's Mansion.

Huang Yuanwu frowned, basically eliminating the suspicion of the Western Prince's Mansion. However, the powerful sects who had warned Huang Yuanwu before were probably the work of the Western Prince's Mansion. The Western Prince's Mansion was the farthest from the imperial capital, but there were many sects in the conquered areas. Huang Chengbi must have known many sects. Moreover, from the perspective of the Western Prince's Mansion, letting the Eastern Prince's Mansion watch the battle is the most beneficial situation for him.

The farthest distance means the longest supply line. If you want to gain the advantage of the front battlefield, you must find a way to weaken the other forces. Keeping the East Prince Mansion is the best strategy.

In this way, Huang Yuanwu could almost conclude that Huang Chengbi must have been the one who asked the masters to warn him before, and he was the only one who had the motivation to do such a thing.

But at such a critical moment, people who had probably had connections with the North and the Enclaves before.

Huang Yuanwu's fingers flew, and the bronze coins slid quickly at his fingertips.

"Bang!"

The Emperor Yuan general slapped the bronze coins on the table, making a crisp sound, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the image of a person appeared in his mind.

The Northern King, the Emperor Zhengchu.

Emperor Yuanwu had only seen this person once, and was at the birthday party of the late emperor. At that time, Emperor Yuanwu and Emperor Zhengchu were both half-aged children, but at that time, Emperor Yuanwu had a very bad impression of this person.

On that day, the elders were all celebrating the birthday of the late emperor. After seeing the late emperor, several children were ordered to retreat first and wait outside the hall. The four eldest sons of the four kings, Huang Yuanwu, Huang Zhengchu, Huang Chengbi and the current Nan Wang, Huang Liangping.

The four kings celebrated their birthdays in name, and the main purpose of their trip was to ask for resources from the predecessor to expand the front line. The four border kings brought their eldest sons, and they were also to show their feelings in front of the predecessor. If the predecessor could be pleased and directly promised the next generation of the throne, the subsequent things would be much easier.

Therefore, the four princes stood outside the hall respectfully, fearing that anything would happen.

The main gate of the hall was tightly closed, and sounds came from inside from time to time. It was the sound of several people arguing fiercely. Huang Yuanwu was closest to the main gate of the hall, but he could not hear what was being said inside.

As the quarrels in the hall became louder, the princes outside also changed differently in their hearts.

Huang Yuanwu has always been a perfunctory rule and has very rules in front of the royal family. Standing in front of Huang Yuanwu is the current Nanwang and Huang Liangping. Both of them stand on both sides of the main entrance of the hall, both of whom are respectful. They have not heard the specific conversation in their hearts, and they cannot intervene. Huang Chengbi is standing in the corner, a little distance from the two of them. He is obviously indifferent to the quarrels in the hall, narrowing his eyes and raising a large amount of Qitian Inner City.

However, after hearing the increasing debate in the hall, Emperor Zhengchu could no longer feel at ease.

The feet slowly moved, and the emperor came to the front door of the hall, slowly approaching, trying to get closer.

, hear the debate inside clearly.

When Huang Yuanwu saw this, his brows frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything. He just stood quietly and respectfully. Huang Liangping, who was opposite, looked at Huang Zhengchu for a moment and said softly: "Go back to your position and stand, don't move around, don't look at what this place is!"

When Huang Zhengchu heard this, he glanced at Huang Liangping with a wicked smile on his face, but he didn't say anything. He stepped forward and kicked Huang Liangping with a kick. The yellow fighting spirit roared out. The sudden attack made Huang Liangping obviously unaware of it. He kicked Huang Zhengchu straight on his shoulder and fell in front of the hall.

Huang Liangping fell down and was about to say something, but saw Huang Zhengchu step forward, push open the gate of the hall, dodge himself, return to his original position, stand down, and look respectful.

The main entrance of the hall was suddenly opened, and the sound of fierce debate inside suddenly stopped. All five people, including the late emperor, looked at the main entrance of the hall.

Huang Liangping was stunned. He was lying in front of the hall at this moment. He immediately looked at Huang Zhengchu. Huang Zhengchu lowered his head at this moment, as if he was respectful.

"Bold!" A loud shout came from the hall. When Huang Liangping turned around, he saw the angry face of the late emperor on the dragon throne. He was so scared that he quickly got up, knelt on both knees, and did not dare to say a word.

"Huang Liangping, you are so brave. You dare to open the palace gate without permission. Are you trying to eavesdrop on the secret?" The late emperor was furious. He had been furious for a few border kings, but he could not get angry. At this moment, the door of the hall suddenly opened.

The emperor was talking to the prince. At this time, if he had not encountered emergency military information, he would never have been able to open the door of the hall. If it was opened, it would be a crime of rebellion. To put it seriously, it would have caused trouble to the nine tribes.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I didn't have this intention!" Huang Liangping knelt on his knees, lowered his head deeply, and replied loudly.

"Hmph!" The old emperor glared at Huang Liangping, and did not speak anymore. He stood up straight and went back to the inner hall. He was just taking advantage of the problem, and he would not really punish a prince because of this little thing, and he would have caused his whole body to be affected.

The four kings were still ready to speak, but when they saw that the former emperor had already stood up and left, they could only kneel down and bow to see him off. Then they left the hall. After leaving the door, Huang Liangping's father, without a pit, stepped forward and kicked Huang Liangping, and left without looking back. Huang Liangping hurriedly got up from the ground, followed his father, and walked out of the city.

At this moment, Huang Yuanwu clearly saw a wicked smile on Huang Zhengchu's face.

Just because of one sentence, Huang Zhengchu was able to do such a thing, and he started to open the hall door directly in front of the hall, quickly completing a scapegoat, which made the other party difficult to argue.

At that time, Huang Zhengchu's face left a deep impression on Huang Yuanwu, a very deep and bad impression.

"If it were this person, it would be possible." Huang Yuanwu gently pressed the bronze coins with his fingers and circled on the table, while thinking in his heart: "With this person's mind and mind, he will not have any concerns to do something to die in the East Prince's Mansion."

Thinking of this, Huang Yuanwu frowned and stopped playing with the bronze coins on the table. Huang Zhengchu was clear-headed and vicious. If he thought from Huang Zhengchu's perspective, the Dongwang Mansion's solemn protection would definitely become the biggest constraint for him to fight for the throne. Therefore, using a plan to settle the Dongwang Mansion, causing the Dongwang Mansion to be seriously damaged and unable to participate in this battle is the best ending for Huang Zhengchu.

Besides, Huang Zhengchu was in the northern border, and the Northern King's Mansion was not far from the Northern King's Mansion and the Enclave. It is not difficult for the Northern King's Mansion to contact the leaders of the two places.
