Above the city of Hedongcheng, flags fluttered, and there was no one.

Under the city, tens of thousands of troops were covered with black armor.

Huang Yuanwu and Liu Yuan rode side by side on the war horses, looking at the city head not far away and the east city, silent.

If you guess correctly, this city is also an empty city.

"What's wrong with Shuinan City?" Huang Yuanwu asked Liu Yuan beside him softly.

"Ding Jiang is in charge, and the city is empty and there is no defender." Liu Yuan replied in a deep voice: "I am afraid of being trapped, so I took my subordinates to evacuate as quickly as possible and arrived here."

Huang Yuanwu nodded gently, and then said, "Attack."

"Line, attack!" Liu Yuan immediately drew his sword and waved forward. The first echelon behind him was ready immediately lined up and slowly advanced forward like facing a city with solid defense.

Huang Yuanwu's brows frowned involuntarily.

The square formation was constantly advancing, but there was no change on the top of the city of Dongcheng, and there was still no one to see. It seemed like an empty city without any defenders.

The more than 100,000 soldiers from the Northern King's Mansion seemed to have disappeared overnight, disappearing without a trace.

This incident seemed to have happened suddenly. Last night, the scouts could still see the defenders on the walls of the two cities. Early this morning, when the Eastern Prince's Mansion set up a camp to attack, the soldiers in the two cities suddenly disappeared.

Huang Yuanwu probably knew what was going on.

Since the hidden forces can use large teleportation arrays to attack the garrison of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, they can naturally open the teleportation arrays and teleport all the soldiers of the Northern Prince's Mansion away. However, if this is true, the abilities of the forces behind the Northern Prince's Mansion may be far beyond his imagination.

Huang Yuanwu had never heard of the teleportation array that could teleport more than 100,000 soldiers. According to his understanding, the energy required for this formation was unimaginable. Moreover, he had never heard of any teleportation array that could teleport more than 100,000 troops.

The square formation had already advanced to the city of Hedongcheng. All the soldiers followed the steps and pushed the city tower on top of the city wall. Many soldiers entered one after another and occupied the city wall.

A moment later, the gate of Hedongcheng was opened from the inside. Sure enough, there was no defender in the city, not even the people, and it was empty.

"Are you going?" Liu Yuan turned around and asked Huang Yuanwu what he meant. He was also very clear about the strangeness in this matter. The series of movements of the Northern King's Mansion were so strange that they could no longer be considered in the conventional battlefield method.

After occupying two accompanying cities, what else will happen later is impossible to predict at all.

"Enter!" Huang Yuanwu said in a deep voice: "Stay outside the city and don't move. I'll take my personal guard in."

Liu Yuan was about to speak out immediately, and Huang Yuanwu continued: "General Liu, you lead the army outside the city. I will go into the city. If you see the teleportation formation, you can confirm my guess. If you see it, we will give up this city. If you don't see it, we will immediately occupy the East City."

After saying that, without waiting for Liu Yuan to say anything, Huang Yuanwu rode his horse straight to the main gate of Hedongcheng, and his 100-man guard immediately followed.

Seeing the departed Huang Yuanwu, Liu Yuan frowned, but he was helpless. Huang Yuanwu had such a kind of character. He had no good idea. However, there should be no enemy troops in the East City. Now that Huang Yuanwu enters, there will be no danger. Therefore, Liu Yuan stayed outside the city, integrated the army, and waited quietly.

It is not very big and is not the main accompanying city. This city is generally used to store food, grass, materials and equipment near the imperial capital. There are no large number of people in the city, and most of them are the families of some soldiers.

The Qitian Empire set up a accompanying city with the purpose of sharing the impact and pressure for the imperial capital. However, after the new emperor ascended the throne, Shuinan City almost became the prince's entertainment venue. As we all know, the new emperor Qitian had two brothers. After he ascended the throne, he allowed the two princes to enter Shuinan City. All the equipment in the city was the best, so as to stabilize the two kings' hearts.

When the Three Kings rebelled, the two princes heard the news and fled back to the imperial capital as soon as possible, but they never expected that the imperial capital was the most dangerous place.

Now that Yang Qin has been helped to the throne, is one of the two princes, King Huai Yuchen.

Entering Hedongcheng, the main locations in the city have been occupied by many soldiers. The gate of the city lord's mansion is closed, and a group of soldiers are guarding outside the gate, waiting for the arrival of Huang Yuanwu.

Along the way, I saw no strange things, and no shadow of the teleportation array was found everywhere.

When they walked to the city lord's mansion, the gate of the city lord's mansion was closed, and two rows of soldiers stood around them. When they saw Huang Yuanwu coming, they all knelt on one knee.

Huang Yuanwu turned over and dismounted, waved his hand slightly, and walked straight towards the City Lord's Mansion. A soldier immediately came up from the side and gently pushed open the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

The door was not locked. Although I felt the atmosphere was a bit weird, Huang Yuanwu walked straight in.

The city lord's mansion in Dongcheng is not big, unlike some big cities, the city lord's mansion usually has two courtyards. This mansion has only one entry. After entering the mansion gate, the hall of the city lord's mansion is in front of me. Huang Yuanwu's guards followed in without saying anything, scattered straight away, and began to explore the entire city lord's mansion.

The courtyard was not big, and the search was completed quickly. No teleportation array was found, nor any suspicious points were found.

Looking at the entire Hedongcheng, nothing strange was found. Except for no one in the city, everything was normal.

After hearing the rewards from his guards, Huang Yuanwu frowned and stood there. After a few breaths, he immediately ordered all the staff to withdraw from Hedongcheng, destroy all the defense facilities in Hedongcheng, take away all the supplies, and abandon the city.

With the order of Emperor Yuanwu, many soldiers began to act. Emperor Yuanwu rode a war horse and left Hedongcheng directly.

This place is much different from what he expected.

There were only two explanations for the teleportation array. First, the Northern King's Mansion secretly arranged all the soldiers in Shuinan City and evacuated through the teleportation array. However, the possibility of such a thing happening is very low, because the scouts of the Eastern King's Mansion have been staring at the two cities, and large-scale military mobilizations cannot escape their eyes. Second, the teleportation array naturally disappeared.

This explanation should be more appropriate. Although Huang Yuanwu didn't know how to do it, there was only one possibility.

Give up the idea just now and abandon He Dongcheng, mainly because of one thing. Since the Beiwang Mansion army has evacuated in large quantities, it must defend against them to fight back. Although the Huangyuanwu mission teleportation formation is one-way, that is, if you want to teleport people into the city, someone must carve the formation in the city to achieve it. But for the sake of safety, He Dongcheng City is not as strong as Shuinan City, and this is a place where the enemy has been entrenched for a long time. Maybe there is no secret that has not been discovered, and giving up is the best decision.

Huang Yuanwu led the guards out of Hedongcheng. After Liu Yuan saw Huang Yuanwu, he finally let go of his heart and let out a gentle breath.

"What's the situation in the city?" Huang Yuanwu walked closer to Liu Yuan and asked.

"Empty, nothing, only some simple supplies and a small amount of food and grass." Huang Yuanwu replied softly: "I have ordered the abandonment of this city. We will send troops to stay. The disadvantages are more than good."

Liu Yuan nodded slightly and said, "What's next? Now both accompanying cities are in our hands. Are you going to attack the imperial capital at this moment?"

"Wait first." Huang Yuanwu shook his head and said, "The matter has not been clarified yet. If you attack the imperial capital, you must first explore the movements of the surrounding provincial troops. Moreover, the Northern Prince's Mansion army suddenly disappeared. This is strange."

"That……"

Just as Liu Yuan was about to say something, a fast horse ran straight towards the two of them. A soldier rode on the war horse and shouted: "Report!"

Huang Yuanwu frowned and looked at the soldier. The scout rode a horse to approach Huang Yuanwu, and immediately turned over and got off the horse and knelt on one knee, whispering loudly: "Report to the little prince, I found the Northern King Zhengchu in Shuinan City. General Ding didn't know what to do, so I would like to ask the little prince to decide."

"What?" Huang Yuanwu was stunned when he heard this and immediately asked, "Where is he?"

"Just in the city lord's mansion, I have never moved, and no one is following me." The scout replied immediately.

"Let's go!" Huang Yuanwu frowned immediately, and without saying anything to Liu Yuan, he took his guard straight to Shuinan City.

Things were strange and surprising. The army of the Northern Palace had already evacuated. Why was Huang Zhengchu still there? Didn’t he evacuate with his subordinates? Then what was he going to stay here?

The war horses galloped, and it was a journey of more than ten miles. They arrived at the city of Shuinan again. At this moment, Shuinan City was already occupied by the East Prince's Mansion. In addition to the big flag of praying for the sky, the flags on the city were also replaced by the battle flag of the East Prince's Mansion.

The city gate was wide open, and all the important positions of the city were occupied by soldiers of the Eastern Prince's Mansion. At this moment, Ding Jiang had completely controlled the entire Shuinan City.

Unobstructed, Huang Yuanwu rode straight to the majestic city of Shuinan City. The gate of the city lord's mansion was wide open, and Huang Yuanwu had no intention of getting off the horse and rode straight in.

Under the main hall, Huang Yuanwu dismounted and looked at the main hall in front of him that looked like an imperial palace. He couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Only not long ago, he came here and killed Liu Tianyang, the surrendered general of the enclave in front of Huang Zhengchu. At that time, in this hall, officers and soldiers of the Northern King's Mansion filled the entire hall. Huang Zhengchu was sitting on the dragon throne, full of energy.

Now, Huang Yuanwu could still think of the way Huang Zhengchu was at that time, and then there was the very contrasting begging. All the soldiers of the Northern King's Palace in the hall seemed to have not seen Huang Zhengchu's expression or heard his begging.

The hundred-man guard followed Huang Yuanwu closely, stepped on the stairs of the hall, and walked slowly forward.

The gate of the hall was also open, and a group of soldiers from the East Prince's Mansion were guarding outside the hall. Ding Jiang was also waiting here. After seeing Huang Yuanwu, he immediately went up to meet him.
