Chapter 228: Weaving
When Liu Yuan heard Ye Guan's words, he nodded slightly and said no more. This time he came to the enclave, which was mainly Ye Guan, and the best result was to be able to defeat others without fighting. The peaceful acceptance of the enclave is the ending that the East Prince Mansion most wanted to see at this moment.
According to Ye Guan's estimate, Tian Yuanbai's army would evacuate Wufeng City before sunset. Their purpose of garrisoning in the Wufeng City area has lost its meaning, and it will be futile to stay here. If the rest of his life troops really enter the Wufeng City area and see Tian Yuanbai's army, it will be of no benefit to each other. Almost all the soldiers under Tian Yuanbai's command come from the Leyang City area. Since Wufeng City has surrendered to the East Prince's Mansion, he might as well bring all the troops back to Leyang City and wait and see what happens.
Ye Guan and Liu Yuan talked for a while, then pushed the door open and returned to his bedroom, sat in the front hall, and quietly drank tea and waited.
I made an agreement with the spy centurion I discovered before and asked him to come to find him after returning to Wufeng City. Ye Guan decided to solve this problem before leaving Wufeng City.
Xu Bao is the name of this centurion. He has been in Dongxuan City, Dongwang Mansion for seven years. Since joining Dongxuan City, he has served in the army under his command for the rest of his life, serving as the soldiers guarding Dongxuan City and has not played on the battlefield with the Dongwang Mansion army.
Long before he came to the Eastern Palace, he was the Northern King Emperor Zhengchu. The Northern King took advantage of the opportunity of the Eastern Palace to expand the scale of soldiers and placed many eyeliners under the Eastern Palace, and Xu Bao was only one of them. And Xu Bao was the only one who really reached the centurion level under the Eastern Palace.
Xu Bao was born in Shanle County, Sizhong Province, Qitian Empire. He was from a poor family. His father died early and had only one mother in his family. He raised him with great difficulty. In his childhood memory, he basically had no time to have enough food. Although Qitian Empire later had a strong national strength and had very generous policies to treat the people, among the people, Xu Bao's family was also very poor.
Fortunately, Xu Bao was talented and talented in martial arts cultivation. By chance, he met a captain under the Northern Palace, who was mainly responsible for the news transmission of the Northern Palace in other provinces. When he was young, he basically followed the captain and ran around. The captain was good to Xu Bao, not only solved his family's food problem, but also taught him to practice. In addition, Xu Bao had good talent, and when he was fifteen, he had a high level of cultivator.
Later, the Northern King wanted to arrange a detailed work to enter the Eastern Prince's Mansion and asked him to convey the message. This task fell on Xu Bao's captain and asked him to recommend the candidate. It was under such an opportunity that Xu Bao entered the Eastern Prince's Mansion.
After entering the Eastern Prince's Mansion, he occasionally passed messages to the Northern Prince's Mansion, including the news about the twenty cities under the Eastern Prince's Mansion, mainly Dongxuan City. The Northern Prince's Mansion has installed many such spies in the Eastern Prince's Mansion, so he knows the Eastern Prince's Mansion very well.
Time flies quickly, and the longer the contact is, the more Xu Bao feels that things don’t seem to be what Huang Zhengchu said. The Eastern Palace implements the teachings of Qitian’s ancestors and is very tolerant of all the people under his rule. Even when it is expanding, he tries to use the Huairou strategy to avoid harming the people on both sides as much as possible. This is very different from the Eastern Palace that he heard of.
Gradually, Xu Bao didn't want to do what he is now, and the more he did, the more he felt guilty. Especially for the rest of his life, he treated his soldiers like his son. He was one of the four lords of the Eastern Palace and was also named a marquis in the empire. Not only did he have no airs, he was also very concerned about the daily life of the soldiers. Xu Bao, who had almost never felt any good eyes since he was a child, had a balance in his heart, and slowly turned to the Eastern Palace.
But he knew in his heart that his entry into the Eastern Prince's Mansion was arranged by Emperor Zhengchu of the Northern Prince. If he continued to do the work of conveying the news, his mother who stayed in Shanle County and the captain who took good care of him before might have a life-threatening disaster.
With such a contradictory mood, Xu Bao arranged a formation in Dongxuancheng Wu Mansion to help the King of Northern Painting. After doing this, he thought that the Emperor Yuanwu would immediately investigate the matter, but unexpectedly, he was sent to Ye Guan's command and entered the enclave to complete more important things.
Especially today, what Ye Guan said to him made Xu Bao feel even more embarrassed. Ye Guan clearly knew what he did, but did not punish him.
Standing outside Ye Guan's bedroom, Xu Bao's face was solemn.
He didn't know how Ye Guan would deal with him, nor did he know what his future would be. He was not a traitor, but he did a lot of things that hurt the Eastern Prince's Mansion by chance.
"Dangdang." Xu Bao stepped forward and gently knocked on Ye Guan's door.
"Come in." Ye Guan's soft voice came. Xu Bao pushed open the door and walked in. He first turned around and closed the bedroom door, then turned around and knelt directly on the ground, saying, "Sinner Xu Bao, have seen Lord Ye."
"Get up, this is not the Eastern Palace, and you are not my subordinate. You don't need to salute me." Ye Guan said softly, Xu Bao looked up and saw Ye Guan sitting on the Grand Master's chair, drinking tea quietly, with a smile on his face and a plain look in his eyes.
"Xu Bao is guilty and cannot be forgiven for the East Prince's Mansion. In front of Lord Ye, he has no face to get up." Xu Bao still knelt on the ground, without any intention of getting up.
"Haha." Ye Guan saw Xu Bao's appearance and smiled slightly, saying, "Since the Eastern Prince's Mansion arrived at the bank of Canglan River, the eyeliners of several other kings in the mansion, including His Majesty's, are countless. I don't know how many people have done what you have done. Besides, the little prince has not ordered me to treat you, so you can get up first."
When Xu Bao heard Ye Guan say this, he felt mixed feelings in his heart. He slowly stood up from the ground, lowered his head, stood there, not daring to look up at Ye Guan. He naturally knew in his heart that there were many eyeliners placed in the Eastern Palace in the Guangbei Palace, let alone the other royal palaces. But after all, he had attacked the little prince of the Eastern Palace, so this crime would naturally be greater.
"Don't have any thoughts in your mind." Ye Guan whispered: "I'm asking you to come, not to condemn you. Besides, even if you don't do what you do to the little prince, there will be others doing it. If others do it, it may not be as simple as a sound transmission formation."
Xu Bao lowered his head and said nothing. No matter what Ye Guan said, he felt ashamed.
"Your method of setting up the formation is seen by the little prince." Ye Guan continued, "You can't do this without a foundation. I ask you, did you portray the formation that surrounds the little prince and the Lord Yu City, but did you portray it yourself?"
When Xu Bao heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then he told the truth, "Go back to City Lord Ye, it was the sinner who portrayed it himself."
Ye Guan nodded gently. As early as when Huang Yuanwu told him about this, he had guesses in his heart. Huang Yuchen's formation ability must be high. The formation that he could not easily break should not have been portrayed with talisman paper.
"How old are you this year?" Ye Guan continued to ask.
"The sinner is twenty-five or eighteen years old this year and enters the Eastern Prince's Mansion." Xu Bao replied truthfully.
"Okay." Ye Guan's heart moved slightly when she heard Xu Bao's age, but her face remained silent, and said, "Go back and go back to the East Prince's Mansion with me in the future. I will tell the little prince about your affairs."
When Xu Bao heard this, he was shocked and looked up at Ye Guan and said, "Lord Ye, will I offend me if I don't treat you? After all, I have attacked the little prince and set up a formation in the martial arts mansion of Dongxuan City. This is a serious crime. What kind of face do I have to go back to the Dongwang Mansion? It would be better to let me stay in the enclave and die in the battlefield."
"Haha." Ye looked at Xu Bao, smiled softly, and said, "Didn't you say before that you are willing to stay in the Eastern Palace until your death?"
"I said it, but..." Xu Bao felt mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't know what Ye Guan meant. When he came to see Ye Guan today, he was in the mood to be convicted of a serious crime. Everything he had done before was like a big stone pressing on his heart. Now, not only did the big stone not be removed, the pressure was even greater.
"Nothing is not bad." Ye Guan interrupted Xu Bao's words: "If you go back, you go back and do your job well. There will be no war in the enclave after the enclave. You will die in the battlefield and waste your talents. Go out."
"Zei Lord Ye..."
"Go out!" Xu Bao wanted to say a few more words, but Ye Guan gave the order to expel the guest. He had no choice but to exit the door and walk back. However, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
In this conversation, the guilty man was determined to die, but the people in power did not let him die, and there was no intention of blaming him at all, which looked a bit weird.
Of course Xu Bao didn't know that in Ye Guan's mind, a treasure had been weaved in this picture, which would play some role.
Regarding the Northern King Emperor Zhengchu, Ye Guan did not believe that the Emperor Yuanwuhui had no desire to revenge. Although the Eastern King's Mansion followed the ancestral teachings, he was not very prepared for the other kings and did not covet the throne. But if he thought that the Eastern King's Mansion was just made of mud, he would be very wrong.
Huang Yuanwu had long known about other forces' eyewitnesses in the territory of the Eastern Prince's Mansion. No one, including the Eastern Prince, took these things seriously. The new emperor ascended the throne and naturally was guarded against several border kings who held heavy troops, while the other kings were also guarded against each other. The Eastern Prince's Mansion had no intention of fighting for hegemony and only did his own duties well, which would reduce a lot of trouble.
However, what happened in Dongxuan City was beyond Huang Yuanwu's expectations. Therefore, Huang Yuanwu made the decision to clean up his eyeliner.
Huang Yuanwu will definitely take revenge for what the Northern King Emperor Zhengchu did in the Eastern Prince's Mansion, and Ye Guan needed Huang Yuanwu to make up his mind and make all the preparations. Xu Bao is part of the preparation.
Why Ye Guan has such a high status in the Eastern Palace has a lot to do with his ability to do things and be able to prepare for the future.
The sun slowly sets from the west.
As Ye Guan expected, in the evening, Tian Yuanbai's army began to set up camp, and before night, the preparations were completed and the Wufeng City area began to withdraw from the Wufeng City area.
Liu Tianyi stood on the wall of Wufeng City, looking at the 40,000 elite soldiers slowly retreating from the distance, frowned slightly.
Until now, he didn't know what Ye Guan and Tian Yuanbai said. If Tian Yuanbai's sudden withdrawal would have any impact on him.
The breeze moved slightly, and Ye Guan's figure appeared beside Liu Tianyi. Liu Tianyi felt a move around him, and Ye Guan had already appeared, and he was shocked.
"City Lord Ye..." Liu Tianyi felt a little embarrassed. Ye Guan suddenly appeared beside him. He felt that Ye Guan seemed to have seen through him.
"Captain Liu." Ye Guan also looked at the evacuated army in the distance and whispered to Liu Tianyi: "I went to Tian Yuanbai's camp this time, and he already knew what happened in Wufeng City. Please don't think too much about their retreat."
"Ah..." Liu Tianyi saw Tian Yuanbai retreating with his army, and had some thoughts in his mind. Ye Guan suddenly said this in front of him, which made Liu Tianyi very embarrassed and hurried: "What Lord Ye said is that you have been to the Daying, and Tian Yuanbai naturally knew the current situation of Wufeng City, but... I don't know what his attitude is."
"It doesn't matter what his attitude is." Ye looked at Liu Tianyi and said, "Captain Liu, today, you can order all the cities in the enclave to surrender to the Eastern Prince's Mansion."
After saying that, without waiting for Liu Tianyi to show anything, Ye Guan's body turned into a light blue light and disappeared on the top of the city.
