Chapter 456: With the Wind

In the early morning, everything revives.

A trace of vitality appeared on the desolate Gobi Desert.

In the late autumn envoy, the breeze blows the few plants on the Gobi Desert and dances with the wind.

Before the Jincheng, for the new recruits in the East Prince's Mansion, today is no different from the past, and a new round of training has begun.

Xiao Yibo's extremely strict military governance led to the rapid growth of the army under his rule. Whether it is combat power, cooperation, progress or defense, the training of the new recruits is already very good.

As usual, Xiao Yibo arranged the training charter for the recruits for one day, inspected the recruits' camp for a while, and then walked out of the recruits' camp. In the past few days, he had been a little restless.

Since I learned that the power against the Eastern Prince's Mansion might be Duanmu Huai of Chihong Sect, this matter has been like a cloud of dark clouds that have been shrouded in Xiao Yibo's heart.

Xiao Yibo has no idea about Tianqing City. Although he knows that they are experts, he has never seen them with his own eyes. Duanmu Huai is different. This person is a person who has really fought with Xiao Yibo head-on and defeated him in one move. Although decades have passed, Xiao Yibo has always been very afraid of this person.

In the Eastern Palace, if it is not considered the Eastern Palace, Ye Guan, who is not injured, should be ranked first in terms of force. After breaking through the martial arts for the rest of his life, he ranked second in the second. Liu Yuan and Xiao Yibao, who have always been brave, are equal. Xiao Yibao has reached his current age, and his realm has been stuck at the level of a warrior. He has not been able to make any further for many years. This is directly related to the fact that he has been suppressing Duanmuhuai, the mountain in his heart.

In the distance, the huge city wall is still under construction, and tens of thousands of people are working on it at the same time, but the progress of the city wall is still very slow. Until now, there is only one basic structure. It is impossible to complete it in three or five years.

Yu Sheng is patrolling near the city wall at this moment. It is more appropriate to say that it is relaxing than to say that it is a patrol. He has not been in a good mood recently. He has encountered so many things in the Eastern Prince's Mansion, and Yu Sheng feels that he cannot refuse to blame.

When he received the military order from Huang Yuanwu to enter the enclave, he was absolutely sure that this matter could be completed quickly, but he did not expect it to be the result in the end. When he received the military order from Ye Guan for the rest of his life, almost all the cities in the second half of the enclave were taken down by him and Liu Yuan, leaving only a few cities. It was not that they were not taken down, but that they had no time to rush there.

He kept reflecting again, and now he thought carefully that the second half of their journey to conquer the enclave was too smooth, and he had almost no resistance. The cities he passed by were basically surrendered, and he thought he had prepared it long ago. However, at that time, he was ordered by Ye Guan to take down the entire enclave in the fastest time, so he didn't think much about it.

It was not until he received Huang Yongning's secret letter later that Yu Sheng decisively ordered all the members to evacuate. He understood the meaning of Huang Yongning's secret letter, and in the process of re-examination, he felt that it was not very good, so he did not have any nostalgia and retreated directly. It was not until he returned to the Eastern Palace that he realized that the plan for the entire enclave was set up by Tianqing City, but at the most critical moment, this game was cracked by Ye Guan. Ye Guan paid the price of his trip to Tianqing City and replaced all the members of the entire Eastern Palace Expeditionary Force evacuated.

After returning to the royal palace, it was inevitable that the joint effects of the enclaves occurred, resulting in a sluggish morale in the entire Eastern Prince's Army. It took a lot of effort for the rest of his life to slowly alleviate the situation. Later, he received news that the emperor had changed. Huang Yuanwu led his army to the imperial capital, but the final result was still far from being seen clearly.

Yu Sheng and Xiao Yibo's ideas are generally the same. Now the East Prince's Mansion is facing more than just the pressure from the imperial capital. All the recent incidents have been directed at Huang Yuchen. After the invasion of the City Lord's Mansion a few days ago, Yu Sheng's spirit has been tense.

However, things won't stop developing because of anyone's nervousness or suspicion, and the same is true now.

Just when Yu Sheng and Xiao Yibo were worried, three figures appeared in the endless desert in front of Pingjin City, staring at the gate of Pingjin City.

These three figures, two men and one woman, two men wearing masks on their faces, and the woman covered her face with a light gauze. They looked at the city in the desert from afar, standing quietly.

"This time, we only need to find out the specific location and report it to our master, so that we don't make any troubles." A man's voice was low, as the other two said.

The other two did not speak, but just looked quietly at the distance.

"Do your business separately. If you are captured, you know what to do." The man looked back at the two of them, his eyes were only indifferent, and then turned around, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

After this person disappeared, the remaining man whispered: "Senior Sister, why are we doing this for?" There was a little confused in his eyes.

"For what? I don't know." The woman shook her head gently and replied, "I only know, do what the master wants us to do and turn back as soon as possible." After saying that, the woman also flashed and disappeared from the spot.

The remaining man's eyes became even more confused. He seemed to be a little confused about why he came here and why he wanted to do such a thing. After a while, the man still used his body skills and disappeared from the spot.

It seems that these people have never appeared in the Gobi Desert. The traces of their appearance were blown away by a rolling breeze and slowly dissipated.

...

After inspecting each other's affairs, Yu Sheng and Xiao Yibo returned to the city lord's mansion one after another. The two sat in the front hall and were speechless for a long time.

Xiao Yibo kept thinking about Duanmu Huai again, while Yu Sheng was always speculating on possible secrets in Huang Yuchen.

Yu Sheng vaguely felt that everything that happened in the Eastern Palace recently was related to Huang Yuchen, but he had no idea what the specific relationship was.

Time passed slowly, from morning to noon, from noon to afternoon, Xiao Yibo and Yu Sheng sat there, without saying a word to each other, thinking about their own affairs.

After a long time, Xiao Yibao sighed softly. He looked at Yu Sheng, broke the silence, and said softly: "Yu Sheng, if Duanmu Huai comes in, I'm afraid your and my strength will not be able to protect Yu Chen."

"If you can figure out what they want Yuchen to do, there is still a chance." Yu Sheng reached out and gently pinched his nose bridge, then looked at Xiao Yibao and asked softly: "Uncle Xiao, you have been with the old prince for many years, have you ever heard that he told you about Yuchen?"

Xiao Yibao frowned, then shook his head gently, and said, "No, I don't even know what Yuchen is going to do again. Maybe my brother is afraid that I will talk too much, so he didn't tell me on purpose."

"It's a pity that Senior Ye is not here now, otherwise we can guess some of it through his description." Yu Sheng sighed softly. He understood that Xiao Yibo's words were definitely more terrifying than he thought, and there was no doubt about it.

However, Yu Sheng was not too worried. Pingjin City can be said to be a wall of iron. There are a large number of elite soldiers in the East Prince's Mansion. Except for Huang Yuanwu who took him to the imperial capital, Huang Yanghui and Liu Yuan who took him away to fight and defend the Black Stone City Wall, the remaining new forces are all near Pingjin City. While responsible for the construction of the city wall, they are ready to go on the battle at any time as Huang Yuanwu's reinforcements. In addition, the newly trained 50,000 new soldiers, the troops near Pingjin City now have about 150,000. With such a force in hand, even if someone spys on Pingjin City, he must think about his own strength.

No matter how terrifying the Chihong Sect is, it is still a sect, not a country. When facing huge forces such as the Dongwang Mansion, they must be cautious. No matter how profound Duanmu Huai is, he is just one person. No matter how profound his cultivation is, he cannot face tens of thousands of opponents at the same time.

What the rest of his life can do now is to strengthen the defense of the city lord's mansion, so that they can take advantage of the opportunity to use the master's surprise attack to steal Huang Yuchen.

"Even Ye Guan is helpless here." Xiao Yibao replied softly: "Faced with absolute force and in the dark, it is impossible to defend. According to experience, the best defense is attack, and only by taking the initiative can one be invincible. But now..." Xiao Yibao frowned, and deep wrinkles appeared on his face. Yu Sheng could clearly see that in Xiao Yibao's heart, he was not ordinary fear of Duanmu Huai.

"At this point, we can only send troops to block the water and soil. Uncle Xiao should not be so depressed. What should come will come in the end. The royal palace is in trouble now, and we have more important things to do." Yu Sheng comforted Xiao Yibo in a low voice, but Xiao Yibo just sighed softly and said nothing more. Yu Sheng knew that in his heart, this matter was extraordinary.

In the past few days, Yu Sheng and Xiao Yibo have not entered the secret room to see Huang Yuchen. After inspecting the work, they sat in the front hall and sat for a day. They already knew clearly that someone would definitely come, and the ones who came must be masters. Although they didn't know what they needed Huang Yuchen to do, at present, the main purpose of these people was to find Huang Yuchen and capture him.

There was no problem with Huang Yuanwu's original strategy. He disclosed Huang Yuchen's identity in order to attract the gaze of the outside world. Instead of keeping people staring at it, it is better to take the initiative. Now what Yu Sheng and Xiao Yibo are going to face is the first invasion of the forces behind the secrets of the Eastern Prince's Mansion. These things cannot be avoided.

The front hall fell into silence again. Xiao Yibo began to close his eyes and rest, and his breathing slowly became longer. Yu Sheng looked calm and he held his cheek with one hand, and fell into deep thought again.

The night slowly descended, covering the frontier city. The lights in the city were lit, and the day's work was over.

The recent time of Pingjin City was lively, and it may start with the establishment of the city, which is also the most lively stage. The strategic focus of the Dongwang Mansion has shifted to the imperial capital, and Pingjin City has become the bridgehead of the Dongwang Mansion, and a large number of soldiers gathered here, which also led to many merchants from the Dongwang Mansion gathering in Pingjin City. For a time, Pingjin City became the most noisy city in the Dongwang Mansion.

Although it was already night, there were still traffic and crowds in Pingjin City. None of the shops on both sides of the road were closed, and there were no pedestrians on the streets.

The city gates have been closed, and the military camp outside the city has begun to rest, but the city is still the same.

On the busy street, a man in brocade robe appeared. The man was slender and handsome, looking like a young man from a noble family, wandering leisurely on the streets of Pingjincheng.

Because of the recent influx of population, Xiao Yibo, the acting city lord, strengthened the control in the city. Although there was no curfew, the soldiers patrolling the streets were everywhere. Although there were many people, they were in order.

The man in brocade robe was leisurely wandering on the street, looking around, moving slowly towards the direction of the city lord's mansion.
