Chapter 349: Return
Huang Yuchen followed the soldiers, and the speed was not slow. It took about two hours to leave the core area of the Gobi Desert. When he saw Pingjin City, the sun had already set west.
The sergeant entered Pingjin City in the evening. When he passed by the new recruit martial arts field, Huang Yuchen deliberately went to see it and found that the martial arts field had been restored and was completely renewed. Scattered sergeants were working as guards. When he left here before, he did not see the martial arts field being destroyed, but when he was watching from a distance, he saw the strange black gas. Later, he learned from Xu Feng that it was Ning Yi's formation secret technique.
After entering Pingjin City with dust, Huang Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart after entering the Martial Palace and taking a simple gamble in the front hall.
Naturally, no one stopped him from entering the city. He was led by more than 40 centurions. Even if most of them did not know Huang Yuchen, no one came forward to investigate.
Let the other centurions return to the team, Ma Xiao and Huang Yuchen enter the front hall of the Martial Palace. Huang Yuchen followed Ma Xiao and saw Xiao Yibo sitting in the front hall at a glance. He obviously saw a light of light bursting out from Xiao Yibo's eyes, and he was obviously a little excited, but this emotion was forcibly suppressed, and he just nodded to Huang Yuchen lightly.
Huang Yuchen smiled and said nothing, but just stood quietly at the door, waiting for Ma Xiaoxian and Xiao Yibo to report on the situation last night.
Huang Yuchen stood quietly at the door and did not listen to Ma Xiao's report carefully. He just saw Ma Xiao take out a stack of urgent letter paper from his arms and put it on the table beside Xiao Yibo, and then bowed and retreated. When he passed by Huang Yuchen, he looked at him interestingly, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Along the way, Huang Yuchen followed the team and headed straight for Pingjin City. At that time, Ma Xiao's suspicion of Huang Yuchen weakened a lot. If Huang Yuchen's token was obtained by other means, he would definitely not dare to follow so many people on his side to Pingjin City. If he saw Xiao Yibao and did not recognize him, even if he held the Order of the East King in his hand, he would definitely be captured.
Those who can hold the Eastern King's Order must be the core of the Eastern King's Mansion. As the core leadership of the Eastern King's Mansion, they all know the places where the Eastern King's Order go. No one can make a false statement in this regard.
Huang Yuchen smiled and nodded at Ma Xiao. Ma Xiao left the front hall of the Martial Palace. Huang Yuchen then stepped forward a few steps, stood in front of Xiao Yibo, and bowed, "I have seen Uncle Xiao."
"Your mother!" Before Huang Yuchen could react, he kicked his big foot directly in the face. He flew out directly, lay on the ground in the front hall, with a smile on his face. Then, a scorching pain came from his cheek, and then he understood what was going on. It must be that the old man was anxious. After seeing him, he couldn't help it, so he beat him up.
He quickly turned over and got up from the ground, and saw a huge fist again in front of him.
Seeing this, Huang Yuchen felt nervous and didn't dare to hide, and he didn't dare to fight back. He just stood there with his teeth and waited for Xiao Yip's fist to hit his face.
The next moment, Huang Yuchen felt a big hand suddenly slap his shoulder. When he opened his eyes, he directly stood in front of him. His expression was a little complicated, a little angry, and a little sad.
Xiao Yibo patted Huang Yuchen on the shoulder, but the circle did not continue in the end. When he saw Huang Yuchen, he suddenly felt a little reluctant.
"Boy, are you going to be so anxious?" After patting Huang Yuchen's shoulder, Xiao Yibo said in a bad tone: "Come on, come with me." As he said that, he grabbed Huang Yuchen's ear and carried him directly to the back of the front hall.
Huang Yuchen's ear was grabbed by Xiao Yibo, and he suddenly grinned, but he did not dare to make any mistakes. He followed Xiao Yibo forward, begging for mercy softly and said, "Uncle Xiao, be gentle, be gentle."
"What's light?" Xiao Yibo turned around and glared at Huang Yuchen. This glance made Huang Yuchen dare not speak immediately. He was pulled forward in his ears in disappointment. Xiao Yibo took the letter paper on the table and pulled Huang Yuchen straight into the back of the front hall.
Behind the hall of the Martial Palace is a relatively private space, and only the highest general can enter. This is a place to discuss more confidential events or actions. It is much smaller than the front hall. There are several tables and chairs in the house, but it is relatively safer. Huang Yuchen's identity has not been made public, and Xiao Yibo has many words to say to Huang Yuchen, so he dragged him in.
After entering the house behind, Xiao Yibu threw Huang Yuchen on the chair, handed him the letter paper in his hand, and said with displeasure: "Look, these are all formations copied from within the Zhui Ri Sect yesterday. Do you recognize them?"
Huang Yuchen sat on the chair, blinked his eyes, wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it. He held the letter paper in his hand and subconsciously started to look at it.
The stack of letter papers was placed very neatly, and the order was taken according to the formation's talisman burning method. There was even a detailed talisman division diagram on the first piece of paper. Huang Yuchen only took a look and immediately frowned. He stopped paying attention to Xiao, stood up straight, placed the letter paper in his hand on the ground one by one, and carefully studied the talismans on it.
This formation emperor Yuchen had never seen before. The formation graphics he learned were all arranged in circular shapes. One advantage of circular shapes is that they are more tough and will not be destroyed by a large amount of energy. Moreover, circular shapes can accommodate more spells and more changes.
But at this moment, the formations in his hand were arranged in square shapes. Huang Yuchen had never seen them before. He was surprised and just studied them directly on the ground.
The talisman was copied more carefully, but maybe he didn't understand the original talisman.
Because he could not copy the essence of it, Huang Yuchen carved it several times in the air according to the copied graphics, and then found the basic array root used by this formation. Lizi Jue is not a high-level formation.
After looking closely, Huang Yuchen portrayed talismans one by one in the air, carefully studied the rules inside, and then immersed in it. He didn't know how long it had passed.
After a long time, Huang Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Xiao Yibao, with a hint of excitement on his face, and said, "I understand, this is a magic array that aggregates energy. It should be able to filter the special energy in the power of nature and use it for himself. But I don't know the original depiction order and cannot be copied. If Senior Ning was..."
Speaking of this, Huang Yuchen suddenly remembered something, his face froze, and he was stunned on the spot.
He remembered what Xu Feng said to him, Ning Yi was put into the Gate of Time and Space, and he might never be able to meet again.
Thinking of this, Huang Yuchen frowned, stood on the spot, and stopped talking.
"Oh..." Xiao Yibo breathed a long sigh and said to Huang Yuchen: "Boy Ning is missing. I checked all the places, but there was no trace of him. No one is alive or corpse is dead. After you escape, I returned to the city and just wanted to write a letter to your elder brother, Xu Feng appeared. He told me that Ning Yi is fine, but he just can't see him. It's really damn!"
As he spoke, there was a crisp "bang" sound, and Xiao Yibo directly crushed the armrest of the chair with his left hand. He was extremely angry. He had lived for so long and had never been as frustrated as yesterday. He couldn't even pay back his hands. He lost Ning Yi like this, which made Xiao Yibo feel so angry.
Seeing Xiao Yibu's look, Huang Yuchen immediately spoke, "Uncle Xiao, don't be too angry, then Xu Feng also found me and told me about Senior Ning. According to my guess, Senior Ning should not have any worries about life, but the secret technique he used is really domineering, and it is probably a long time to recover."
"What?" Xiao Yibo immediately glared at him and said, "Then Xu Feng found you? Where? Are you chasing the Rizong?"
Huang Yuchen knew that Xiao Yibo was worried and hurriedly said, "I am chasing the Rizong, Uncle Xiao, your preparatory guard Zuo Xin is a member of the Rizong. He entered our mansion army to get close to Uncle Xiao and then approach me. However, this time chasing the Rizong was a coincidence. Zuo Xin originally thought that Xu Feng would capture me immediately when he appeared. He didn't expect that I would enter the depths of the Gobi Desert with him and followed him into the sect of the Rizong."
As he said that, Huang Yuchen thought of Zuo Xin's sarcasm to him and said that he was simply a fool. He didn't think anything before, but now he recalled that Zuo Xin might have any other meaning in his words. It is possible that this person didn't want to take him to pursue the Rising Sect at all. He just asked for it and took him to the headquarters of Zhui Rising Sect in desperation.
Thinking about what happened along the way carefully, Huang Yuchen felt something was wrong. Zuo Xin suddenly attacked, but when he spoke out and confronted him, he did not show any strangeness before that. After the person who chased the Sun Sect appeared, Zuo Xin was obviously closest to him and was the most likely to suddenly capture him, but he watched the whole city and did not take action. Now that I think about it, it is really intriguing.
"You were captured by them? Tell me quickly, what's going on?" Xiao Yibo immediately became scared when he heard Huang Yuchen say this, and hurriedly asked Huang Yuchen to say in detail.
Huang Yuchen suppressed his thoughts and told Xiao Yibo what he saw and heard in Zhui Ri Sect. He also told Xiao Yibo what Xu Feng was looking for him, but he hid the fact that he could change the flow of time and the secrets of the Gate of Time and Space. After all, this matter was too shocking, and this matter might be very involved. Talking to Xiao Yibo would only increase his troubles.
As for how he escaped from the pursuit of the Rising Sect, Huang Yuchen told me that Xu Feng had used some magic. In the blink of an eye, he left the pursuit of the Rising Sect. Later, he met his own soldiers who came to the pursuit of the Rising Sect. Later, he came back with them.
"Xu Feng didn't do anything to me. After saying some inexplicable words to me, he left. I still don't know why he appeared or why he looked for me." Huang Yuchen said, scratched his head, and looked at Xiao Yibao with an innocent look on his face.
Xiao Yibo's eyes flashed and looked at Huang Yuchen, not knowing what he was thinking. Then he opened his mouth and said, "Okay, it's best if you have nothing to do. You haven't eaten for a day or a night. I'll pass on some food to you and eat here. I still have something to do. I won't accompany you anymore. If you are tired, you can find a house to sleep in the future."
As he said that, Xiao Yibo stopped caring about Huang Yuchen, stood up straight and went out directly from the main gate. He left Huang Yuchen himself, feeling a little surprised, stood there, stunned for a while, before turning around, thinking about Xiao Yibo's emotional changes just now, and felt that something was wrong with Uncle Xiao today, but he didn't think much about it, and squatted down again and studied the formation on the paper.
Xiao Yibo, who left the front hall, frowned. He went straight to find the captain of Ma Xiao, who led the team today. Some things must be asked in detail. Huang Yuchen was present just now, so he couldn't ask questions.
Ma Xiao's residence was in the martial arts palace. He left the front hall and headed straight to the martial arts venue. Not long after, Xiao Yibo saw him waiting for him at Ma Xiao's residence. Seeing Xiao Yibo come, Ma Xiao stood up with a smile and saluted Xiao Yibo.
Xiao Yibao frowned, waved his hand slightly, sat straight on the chair in the room, looked at Ma Xiao, and said, "Sit."
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiao sat beside Xiao Yibo. Seeing that Xiao Yibo's face was heavy, he took back the smile on his face and waited for Xiao Yibo to ask questions.
"Looking at you, I'm waiting for me to come to you." Xiao Yibo looked at Ma Xiao, his face calmed down, and he asked, "Tell me, there's nothing else I haven't told me."
"Yes." Ma Xiao responded and whispered: "Report to the city lord, there is indeed something strange."
"First of all, the young man brought back to the Mokan today suddenly appeared. There was a desolation on the vast Gobi Desert. Where did he come from?" Ma Xiao's voice was low and continued: "I chatted with him for a few words. This young man is very familiar with the situation in the Zhui Ri Sect. He told Mo Jiang that he was captured by the people who pursued the Sun and entered the Zhui Ri Sect. He also said that there were formations inside them, so that Mo Jiang would be extra careful."
"But I searched behind and found no dangerous formations. Instead, I found an escape secret passage in the stone chamber inside the Zhui Ri Sect until three miles away." Ma Xiao said this, stopped talking and quietly looked at Xiao Yibao.
His meaning was already very obvious. Even though Huang Yuchen has returned to Pingjin City and met Xiao Yibo, his identity has been confirmed first, but this does not mean that Ma Xiao has no doubts about him.
Facts have proved that Ma Xiao’s suspicion is absolutely traceable.
Huang Yuchen seems to be more mature than his peers, which is not unrelated to his hard work on the battlefield. However, no matter how mature he is, he is only a sixteen-year-old boy. How did he escape the pursuit of the Rizong alone?
The secret passages in Zhuri Sect were investigated by Ma Xiao himself. Not to mention anything else, the stone door that opened the passage was extremely thick, and there was a strong energy attached to it. If Huang Yuchen had his own strength to break through the cave, Ma Xiao would definitely not believe it.
By inference like this, another possibility emerges.
That is, Huang Yuchen may have reached some kind of agreement with the people of the Sun-Chasing Sect, and they released Huang Yuchen, who was responsible for delaying the Eastern Prince's Army, thus creating opportunities for insiders to escape.
If we say this, it would be explained that Huang Yuchen suddenly appeared in the Gobi Desert.
After hearing Ma Xiao's words, Xiao Yibo frowned and fell into deep thought.
Huang Yuchen had already told him how he escaped from the Stone Room of the Rising Sect. It was Xu Feng who participated and helped that Huang Yuchen escaped from the Heavens. Xiao Yibo saw Xu Feng's strange abilities with his own eyes, and he had no doubts about it. But he didn't know what agreement Huang Yuchen had reached with Xu Feng, which would allow Xu Feng to bring him out of the Sect and come back safely.
Now that Ma Xiao saw clues, it proves that the troops who went there saw some clues. This big thing happened in the camp today, everyone was nervous. If this matter was not handled properly, it would inevitably affect the prestige of the Eastern Prince's Mansion.
Xiao Yibo pondered for a moment, looked up and asked Ma Xiao, "Do you have such an idea yourself or the entire army?"
"Uh..." Ma Xiao was stunned by Xiao Yibo's sudden questioning. After thinking for a while, he said: "There is no one to tell anyone about this matter, nor has he discussed it with anyone. He just speculated about his own guess. As for what other generals think about this matter, the sensation is not known."
Xiao Yibo nodded slightly and continued to ask: "Do you know, what do the military think about what happened yesterday?"
"The army has many speculations about this matter." Ma Xiao replied immediately: "But most people guessed that there was some difficult enemy in the royal palace, so they fought in the new recruit martial arts field, which destroyed the new recruit martial arts field. Most of the new recruits lamented the ability of masters of cultivation, and most of the veterans were guessing who the hidden enemy was."
"City Lord, don't think too much. It's normal for some rumors to happen like this. Fortunately, the remarks have not yet reached an uncontrollable situation, so everyone is still very confident in the royal palace."
"As you think, how should we solve what happened yesterday?" Xiao Yibo looked at Ma Xiao, his face calmly, and asked this in a low voice.
Ma Xiao was shocked when he heard this. He naturally saw that Xiao Yibo had a close relationship with the young man who had come back with him before, and he said something suspicious. If this matter is not done well, City Lord Xiao might put on his own. He thought about it quickly and then said, "My Lord, the last word of the general is all his duty, not for anyone. The general knows and guesses have told you all. How to decide it, it depends on the arrangements of the lord."
Xiao Yibo trusts Ma Xiao quite a lot. If he can be the captain of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, the thousands of troops under his command will definitely not be ordinary people. Moreover, such people are absolutely loyal to the Eastern Prince's Mansion. What he said just now is just worried about Huang Yuchen's identity.
"The boy who comes back with you today is not someone else, but my nephew." Xiao Yibo looked at Ma Xiao calmly, and the lies came out. Now he must give Huang Yuchen a reliable identity, otherwise if this matter spreads in the army, coupled with the changes that had occurred before, many things might arise in the army. In such a long time, the threat must be strangled in the bud.
When Ma Xiao heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he immediately understood in his heart. What Xiao Yibo meant was not that the boy was really his nephew, but that the boy's identity was obscure, but that he had absolutely reliable, and he had to say so to the outside world.
Immediately, Ma Xiao stood up, bowed his hand and fisted at Xiao Yiba, and whispered: "I understand."
"Okay." Xiao Yibao nodded, stood up straight, and went out without even looking at Ma Xiao.
Ma Xiao looked at Xiao Yibo's leaving back, thought carefully and then went out, gathering the forty centurions who had taken the mission with him yesterday.
Chapter completed!
