The Yu Sheng was silent, and he didn't know how to respond to Xiao Yibo's words.

These things are secrets buried deep in Xiao Yibo's heart, and now that he said it, some of the details actually match what is happening now.

Yu Sheng received a reply from Huang Yuanwu. Based on Huang Yuanwu's order and his recent judgment on the entire situation, he issued an order for the entire army to prepare for combat. A large part of the reason was that the Dongwang Mansion Army led by Huang Yuanwu had been subjected to inexplicable attacks several times.

Originally, the rest of his life did not take these things seriously, thinking that some forces that had not surfaced were causing trouble. The purpose was to force the Eastern Palace to withdraw from the imperial capital, so that they could better move forward with the next move.

But now after hearing Xiao Yibo's words, this inexplicable attack had already appeared since the beginning of the Eastern Palace.

But Yu Sheng himself grew up in the Eastern Palace. The entire history of the Eastern Palace can be said to be his own growth history. During this process, he never heard anyone talk about this, even if there were no rumors. If what Xiao Yibo said was true, then who had erased everything that happened back then in such a strange way. So much so many soldiers and so many civilians in the Eastern Palace, no news was revealed after such a long time.

I really think these things have never happened.

At this moment, the rest of his life's mood fluctuated a little, and he could not be sure what Xiao Yibo said was true, because even he could not confirm this matter himself. What made him restless was that what happened in the story and what was happening now had a high degree of overlap.

Also, who are the two mysterious people that Xiao Yibo mentioned? What is the thirty-year agreement?

"Sometimes I'm thinking." Xiao Yibo continued to murmur: "The outside world has been spying on the secrets of the Eastern Prince's Mansion. Is it related to what happened at that time? But I really think no one remembers the events of that year, except me."

"No one talks about it. It seems that no one has experienced this, including my elder brother. All of this seems to be really just my dream. But now..." Xiao Yibo looked at Yu Sheng. In the afterglow of the sunset, his whole face seemed a little gloomy: "What happened in my dream actually happened. Yu Sheng, is this true or false?"

Xiao Yibo's current state is a little wrong, and the rest of his life cannot imagine what it would be like to hold something in his heart for thirty years. He didn't know what words to use to safe Xiao Yibo. But now, in his heart, he felt that the fog in front of him was getting thicker, like a depressing evening covered with dark clouds. The thick clouds covered the sky and the sun, indicating the coming danger.

Under the city, the gate slowly opened.

A team of knights rode out from Pingjin City, leading a general, carrying an eight-foot spear, followed two knights closely behind him, carrying two big flags on his shoulders.

On one side, he wrote “Dongwang Mansion” and on the other side, he wrote “Liu”.

This is Liu Yuan’s personal guard. According to Huang Yuanwu’s request, Liu Yuan led his personal guard to the front line to support Huang Yuanwu.

Yu Sheng and Xiao Yibo didn't say anything anymore. The two stood quietly on the city wall, watching the guard led by Liu Yuan slowly disappearing into the sky, and heading west with the sunset.

The cold wind in winter blew across the Xiaoxiao military camp under the city, and the cold wind was bitter. Dark clouds began to slowly gather above the sky.

It seems that it will snow tonight.

...

Dongwang Mansion, within the palace.

Huang Yongning stayed in the front hall as always, handling letters and affairs sent by all parties.

Since Huang Yuanwu led his team to leave the royal palace, all daily affairs have fallen on Huang Yongning.

After the failure of the imperial capital and the enclaves behind it, the Eastern Palace suffered an unprecedented blow. However, in order to stabilize the situation, Huang Yuanwu still ordered attacks everywhere for the future of the Eastern Palace.

When Huang Yongning took over the internal affairs of the Dongwang Mansion, he realized how much damage the several battles had caused to the Dongwang Mansion.

Needless to say, the food, grass, soldiers and horses were not lost, from the father leading the army to the imperial capital to quell the rebellion, to the death of the father, the army was dispersed, and the loss of tens of thousands of people, and the 200,000 troops of the army was not brought back at all, and it was almost completely lost. The lost food and grass this time was probably equivalent to the output of the Dongwang Mansion in a whole year. It can be said that once the imperial capital consumed the Dongwang Mansion's grain and grass reserves for many years.

The enclave returned in vain. In order to support the war in the enclave, Huang Yuanwu called countless materials to the direction of the enclave, including not only food and grass, but also all military supplies. But in the end, the entire enclave plan completely failed under the interference of Tianqing City. The Eastern Palace lost a large number of elite troops, among which the senior general Kou Long died in the battle. The Eastern Palace gained nothing except for the 40,000 surrendered soldiers from the enclave.

The two failed wars consumed the material reserves of the Dongwang Mansion for nearly ten years. If the grain harvest had not been expanded this year, the treasury would have been hungry now.

In terms of money.

Since the enclave incident, the imperial capital has entered a turbulent stage, and the external trade of the Eastern Palace has almost been cut off. Rongbao City, which used to make money, has gradually become deserted. Because the situation is unstable, the large number of people in the imperial capital will no longer be traded to the Eastern Palace, which has led to a self-circulation of the internal functions of the Eastern Palace. Fortunately, the Eastern Palace has a large population and no impact can be seen in a short period of time. The people's lives are still free of food and clothing.

But Huang Yongning knew that if the current situation did not improve, and in the long run, the Dongwang Mansion would lose its former glory, and the outside world would cut off its trade and could not form the circulation of goods. The Dongwang Mansion could only consume itself, which would eventually lead to the collapse of the trade system. It can be foreseeable later that food shortages and material shortages will become the primary matters that the Dongwang Mansion will face. If this matter is not resolved, no foreign invasion is required, and the inside of the Dongwang Mansion will likely collapse.

In this regard, Huang Yuanwu’s solution is to continue attacking.

While opening up the southern border, all the hostile forces in the northern border were wiped out so that the Eastern Palace would not be attacked from both sides. The Southern Palace and the sphere of influence could be expanded, and a lot of land and more people could be obtained, which has strong positive significance for the long-term development of the Eastern Palace.

Therefore, Huang Yongning almost took out all the inventory of the Eastern Palace and supported all Huang Yuanwu's decision. Huang Yuanwu's dispatch of troops to the imperial capital this time had almost exhausted all the inventory of the Eastern Palace. If the matter of the imperial capital cannot be resolved quickly and becomes a war of attrition, the Eastern Palace will become the ultimate loser.

Huang Yuanwu knew these things, and Huang Yongning didn't need to say much. As of now, Huang Yuanwu's plan was still effective. Liu Yuan's thunder attack eliminated the rebellious forces in the entire northern border and moved the population under their rule to the Eastern Prince's Mansion. At present, Huang Yongning is arranging these newly entered people to the southern border to help Huang Yanghui expand the wastelands in the southern border.

With the destruction of the tribes in Beijing, the spoils brought by the war are enough to solve the current dilemma of the Eastern Prince's Mansion. Although many ethnic groups and small countries in the northern border have been rich in wealth over the years. In addition to a large amount of food, there are countless gold and silver items.

For these rebellious groups, breaking them apart and integrating them into the Eastern Palace is the best way to rule. This process seems a bit cruel, but all wars are cruel. As long as you pick up the weapons, this is the result that you will bear.

In recent days, Huang Yongning has been dealing with matters in the northern border. The migration of the people has not ended so quickly. Besides, the northern border is not large, but it is also a vast territory. It is also a relatively cumbersome to count the people of all ethnic groups and move them to the Eastern Prince's Mansion.

However, in any case, the war in the north ended, and the winner of the war was the Eastern Palace. Relying on this victory, the Eastern Palace solved the urgent problem. The most important thing now depends on the imperial capital.

As long as Emperor Yuanwu solves the troubles of the imperial capital, the Eastern Palace will have time to breathe and rest.

Huang Yongning sat up and forgot to eat and sleep. Since he returned to the palace, he had almost never left the study room. Food and accommodation were solved in the study room, and everything was done by himself. Under the rule of the Dongwang Mansion, every five cities were led by a big city lord. However, due to the recent turmoil in the East Wang Mansion, all the city lords have been transferred away. Now the three city lords are near Pingjin City and may have been stationed in Pingjin City for a long time. Therefore, outside the Five City of Pingjin City, the remaining fifteen cities, all matters of big and small need to be handled by Huang Yongning.

Although Ye Guanyu's zodiac left his team when he left, and some trivial matters did not need Huang Yongning to worry about, some things that needed to be decided still needed Huang Yongning to make a decision.

Therefore, Huang Yongning had too many business operations every day, and now it was a turbulent autumn and things were constantly happening. While he had to allocate food and grass, he had to stabilize people's livelihood and worry about everything about the entire Dongwang Mansion, and he really couldn't get away with it.

After working hard for many days, Huang Yongning now looks much thinner, his face loses its rosy rosy as before, and looks a little pale.

He was the only one in the study. Late at night, the candlelight at the post station was placed on the desk, and Huang Yongning was watching the letters coming from Rongbao City attentively.

The candlelight suddenly jumped slightly, and the temperature of the entire study dropped rapidly. Huang Yongning didn't feel anything wrong. He pulled the cloak that was draped over his shoulders and continued to read the letters in his hand.

"It's going to snow."

A voice suddenly came, and Huang Yongning was shocked, but he reacted quickly and subconsciously pulled out his close-fitting sword and stabbed directly in the direction where the sound came.

"when……"

With a crisp sound, Huang Yongning's sword tip pierced a hard object and sparks splashed. At this moment, Huang Yongning saw clearly that there was one more person in the corner of the study. This person was covered in armor, and under the reflection of the candlelight, he could see the strange and complicated patterns on the armor.

"Second General, you are so angry."

Huang Yongning stabbed out with a sword and directly stabbed the man's armor. This man did not dodge or dodge, but said this quietly. The sound sounded without any emotion, making people feel chilled on his back.

"Who are you?" Seeing that the sword had no effect at all, Huang Yongning took a step back without hesitation, and with the candlelight on the desk, he saw the person in front of him clearly.

The man's whole body was covered with a set of black armor, with fine and weird glyphs carved on it. The man was wearing a helmet and his face was shrouded under the helmet. The whole person looked like he was wrapped in a strange black cloth, and no inch of his skin was exposed.

"This is not important." The man said softly again, his voice as if it came from the abyss, making people afraid to stand. He collapsed gently forward, and his boots stepped on the floor of the study, making a crisp sound.

"It's not just here, please come with me."
