The storm that was initiated by the Eastern Palace in front of the imperial capital was calmed down.

Liu Yuan and his team were stationed ten miles outside Shuinan City, and sent the scouts and eyeliners out. While observing the situation in the imperial capital, they also investigated all the abnormalities of the odor.

It is still an empty city with Dongcheng, and the Dongwang Mansion gave up its garrison here in case of unpredictable situations.

In Shuinan City, Ding Jiang personally supervised and flipped through Shuinan City inside and outside. Especially the main hall of the lord's mansion where Huang Zhengchu suddenly disappeared, almost let Ding Jiang lead people to demolish it. He also found a secret passage underground, but except for some gold, silver and treasures, no valuable things were found.

All the people in Shuinan City disappeared, which was very similar to what Ye Guan saw in the enclave Zhu'an City. The difference was that Ye Guan saw a large number of people's corpses, and Shuinan City was empty.

The Wu Mansion was also carefully searched. After checking all the places, Huang Yuanwu entered the Wu Mansion and sat quietly in the hall.

After today's changes, there seems to be no big change, but the situation in the imperial capital is already a world of difference.

The Eastern Palace entered Shuinan City, and the Northern Palace army disappeared mysteriously. The Northern Palace Emperor Zhengchu disappeared, and the Southern Palace Emperor Liangping disappeared. This means that the entire Northern Palace power inexplicably withdrew from the struggle for the imperial capital, and Emperor Zhengchu also lost the right to fight for the throne forever.

As for what Huang Zhengchu said to him, now that Huang Yuanwu sorted out his work, he found that the matter was really much more complicated than he had imagined.

First of all, Huang Yuanwu has not figured out who the power hidden behind it, and even Huang Zhengchu has not figured out what was going on. The key figure among them is Xu Feng, but this person has entered the mysterious gate and disappeared. The 200,000 troops suddenly appeared in the Northern Palace and the several masters who helped the Northern Palace come from now on. It is impossible to have an answer now.

According to Huang Zhengchu, the hidden power behind this has a crucial relationship with Qi Tian's rise and growth. Huang Zhengchu's tone was vaguely saying something horrible, that is, the expansion and establishment of Qi Tian Empire were inseparable from this mysterious force.

This also includes the practice method passed down by Qi Tian’s ancestors and the secrets of the Qi Tian royal family. Huang Zhengchu didn’t say much about this, and it seems that he didn’t fully know that there is no conclusion on this matter so far.

The hidden power behind this will be the enemy that will inevitably be encountered in the process. This power is huge and has mysterious whereabouts, and has some incredible means. So far, Huang Yuanwu has never seen anyone from this power, nor has he officially fought. However, judging from the current situation, it is this power that has left only the Dongwang Mansion in front of the imperial capital.

While frowning, Huang Yuanwu felt that the fog in front of him was getting thicker. The closer he was to the truth, the further the truth was.

Before going to war, Huang Yuanwu did not feel that he could occupy Shuinan City. The Northern Palace has two cities, with tens of thousands of soldiers under his jurisdiction, and his combat power was definitely not inferior to the soldiers of the Eastern Palace. If it really started, it would be a long-lasting war, and both sides would inevitably suffer heavy losses. Huang Yuanwu's fundamental purpose was not to defeat the Northern Palace, but to force the forces behind the scenes to appear, but now things went against their wishes. The energy of the forces behind the scenes exceeded their imagination. Not only did they not show up, they directly disappeared from the Northern Palace.

The originally envisioned melee did not appear, and the many troops in the surrounding provinces had no reason or excuse to act. No matter how the emperor's capital was changing, Qi Tian or the imperial clan's Qi Tian was not someone else's Qi Tian. This made Huang Yuanwu feel strange. The power behind the scenes was definitely closely related to his own clan. They may have been to ensure that the people in the provinces outside would not cause trouble, so the soldiers of the Northern King's Mansion disappeared.

But now, Huang Yuanwu had to put these things behind his mind, because what he was going to face now was a more difficult thing: whether to send troops to the imperial capital.

In front of the imperial capital, there is no other army except the power of the Eastern Palace. Facing the rebel Yang Qin of the imperial capital, the mortal enemy of the Eastern Palace, there is no obstacle in front of Huang Yuanwu.

There is absolutely no problem in breaking the imperial capital with the current military force of the Eastern Palace, but what about after breaking it?

Huang Yuanwu has thought more than once about this matter. If one day he really breaks the imperial capital, what should he do? Faced with the throne of praying to the sky, Huang Yuanwu hesitated for the first time.

Cracking the capital will inevitably bring about a reshuffle of power. Huang Yuanwu asked himself that he currently commanded an Eastern Prince's Mansion and felt that he was a little stretched. Moreover, the territory was dozens of times that of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, and the number of people was hundreds of millions. Among them, the major forces were mixed, so where could a prince guarding the border easily be able to figure it out.

However, the benefits after ascending the throne are obvious. First of all, the threats faced by the Eastern Palace will be eliminated, and Huang Yuanwu no longer has to worry about any actions by the Empire against the Eastern Palace. But the emperor of an empire can do it just by saying that.

But if the throne is not taken, what after the imperial capital is broken? Support the new emperor Huai Wang Huang Yuchen, who is now supported by Yang Qin? The previous imperial emperor was still young. Although he was appointed as an empress, he had no descendants. According to orthodoxy, his brothers had the first inheritance right. Yang Qin occupied the imperial capital for so long, I am afraid that there are not many princes who have inheritance rights in the palace. Moreover, after so long, most of the civil and military officials in the imperial capital should have surrendered to Yang Qin's power. If there are those who refuse, there will definitely be a dead end.

Huang Yuanwu had no sympathy for Yang Qin. After breaking the city, he would definitely kill him without hesitation. But what should King Huai Emperor Yuchen do is a headache for Huang Yuanwu.

Huang Yuanwu was thinking, suddenly heard the sound outside the door. When he looked up, he saw Ding Jiang standing outside the door, saluting him slightly. The expression on his face was very pleasant, as if something good happened. Huang Yuanwu sighed softly and waved to let Ding Jiang in.

This time when he went on the expedition, most of the people who followed Huang Yuanwu were military generals. The Eastern Prince's Mansion has always been a man of martial arts over literature. There is no way to do so. After all, he is in the border and wars are constantly happening. In the army, whoever has a big fist will make sense. However, Huang Yuanwu still deliberately trained several all-around generals. Ding Jiang is now one, Kou Long who died in the enclave is also one, and Liu Yi, who has always followed Huang Yuanwu.

These three people were generals who had been following Huang Yuanwu step by step. Ding Jiang and Kou Long appreciated each other, but their personalities were in conflict. They were both brave and brave, and they were invincible in combat. They were absolutely loyal to the Eastern Palace and Huang Yuanwu. Liu Yi's character was slightly gentler than these two, and his brains were more active. Therefore, most of the important things about Huang Yuanwu were left to him. This time, Huang Yuanwu was handed over to Liu Yi for the intelligence investigation of surrounding provinces and Chihong Sect.

Since Ye Guan and Ning Yi disappeared, there was really no one around Huang Yuanwu who could make ideas and analyze the situation. If there was one, Yu Sheng was one, but Yu Sheng almost took the lead in the Dongwang Mansion alone, and it was absolutely impossible to transfer him to the front line at this moment. Liu Yuan's talent is also good, but Huang Yuanwu himself could think of what he could think of. Liu Yuan could only provide some advice to Huang Yuanwu on key issues, but he could not achieve the result of being sharp.

At this moment, Huang Yuanwu hopes to see Ye Guan more than ever. If he were there, he would not have fallen into the current situation.

Ding Jiang came to Huang Yuanwu with a spring breeze on his face, clasped his fists at Huang Yuanwu, saluted respectfully, and said, "I have seen the little prince."

"What's the matter? Tell me." Huang Yuanwu glanced at Ding Jiang. Ding Jiang was absolutely serious in doing things, but it was not enough to let him see the situation and arrange the overall situation clearly. He was a good player in conquering the city, but his planning was far from being poor.

"The last general came to ask the little prince, when will we send troops?" Ding Jiang saw that Huang Yuanwu's face was a little bad, and he couldn't help but withdraw the smile on his face and asked respectfully.

"Send troops? Where to send troops?" Huang Yuanwu looked up at Ding Jiang and asked.

"Uh..." Ding Jiang was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "Little Prince, we have occupied Shuinan City now, and the Northern Prince's Mansion is gone. Now is the perfect time to attack the imperial capital. We should break through the imperial capital in one go, kill the dog thief Yang Qin, and avenge the old prince."

Huang Yuanwu didn't speak immediately. He just looked up at Ding Jiang, which made Ding Jiang feel a little worried. After a while, he asked, "Is this your thought, or does all the generals think so?"

"It's the idea of ​​the last general." At this time, Ding Jiang naturally could not say that it was the same idea of ​​all the generals. If he said this, there would undoubtedly be a suspicion of forcing Emperor Yuanwu to make a decision.

Huang Yuanwu looked at Ding Jiang and snorted. He naturally knew that this was not just Ding Jiang's idea. Now the generals of the East Prince's Mansion must think that they would attack the imperial capital. After breaking the imperial capital, Qi Tian's throne was within reach. If he became Qi Tian's emperor, then all the generals under his command would be promoted. This is also the main meaning of Ding Jiang's coming to ask this time.

However, it is normal for them to think so. When people go to a high place, many soldiers join the Eastern Prince's Mansion to make achievements.

"Tell me my order, repair the city in the army, and always observe the direction of the imperial capital. Without my order, no one is allowed to leave the city without authorization." Huang Yuanwu did not answer Ding Jiang's question, but gave an ambiguity order.

At this moment, we must never undermine the morale of the army. Huang Yuanwu did this to buy time for himself and come up with a solution as soon as possible.

"The Last General's Order." Ding Jiang was overjoyed after hearing Huang Yuanwu's orders, and immediately knelt on one knee and took the order.
