However, Tangtou's death gave them a huge shock. Before the specific situation was discovered, no one dared to act rashly, at most he would just make a hint.

Qi Wei was even more humble and arrogant about these people. While showing that the Boxer branch did not rely on any force, he also made it clear that he would not take any adverse actions against them unless the other party made other attempts.

It is difficult to get through the world, so it is something that many forces in the world are willing to find a prince as their backer.

Gong Yileng took action earlier, so he naturally gained more fans. Gong Yibo has talked with the Boxer branch so far, but outsiders are not sure about it.

So in a sense, the forces in the Jianghu area around Beiming Town are basically controlled by Gong Yileng, except for the Boxer Division.

Yichen instructed Qi Wei not to make things difficult for those forces who defected to Gong Yileng, as long as the other party has no Boxer branch.

After all, whether it is Gong Yileng or Gong Yibo, they are all the princes of Xuanbing Kingdom, and no one supports them has nothing to do with others.

Even Yichen only helped Gong Yibo defeat Gong Yileng, and did not agree to help Gong Yibo and seize the position of crown prince.

What Yichen had to do was actually to clarify Gong Yibo's attitude, that is, the Xuanbing Kingdom eliminated the Ice Explosion Robbers Group.

After hearing Gong Yibo's tone, it was not clear that the Ice Explosion Robbers Group was an affiliated force of Youyin Sect. Once the old king accepted Gong Yibo's request for battle, the opposition between the Xuanbing Kingdom and Youyin Sect could be formed.

Qi Wei saw Yichen's cultivation strength and was also infected by Yichen's way of dealing with things. Before Kuiye left the customs, he ensured the stable development of the Boxer branch.

A month later, Kuiye came out of seclusion, and the first brothers who went to seclusion to practice also gained great results.

Under the auspices of Kuiye, the Boxer Branch held a public competition between the strong war commanders, showing the outside world some of the strength of the Boxer Branch.

In order to enhance the overall strength, the Boxer Branch also organized a large-scale recruitment and horse buying activity in the surrounding areas of Beiming Town.

As long as the cultivation strength reaches a certain level and meets the requirements of the Boxer branch, and those who have never joined other forces in the martial arts world can register for the assessment of the Boxer branch.

Those who pass the assessment will officially become members of the Boxer Branch and enjoy the same treatment as other brothers.

In this way, the gangs and lakes that defected to Gong Yileng gave up their original ideas because they feared Kuiye and the overall strength of the Boxer branch.

In addition to Kuiye, the strong war king, the Boxer branch also has a large number of high-level war commanders and even peak war commanders, and the number is still increasing.

What makes people even more envious is that a "boss" who came to the Boxer branch, who was unpredictable, further strengthened the cohesion of the Boxer branch.

In order to please Gong Yileng, it seems unwise to compete with the powerful Boxer Division.

Even if you have to force yourself to stand out, you cannot choose to be at this time.

Through a series of activities, the strength of the Boxer branch was effectively revealed, and the surrounding areas of Beiming Town were temporarily maintained.

Eliminated possible hidden dangers, Kuiye focused his energy on the second group of brothers who were practicing in seclusion.

Yichen waited for news from Gong Yibo two months later, but it was not the good news he was looking forward to.

"His Majesty the King handed over the task of destroying the ice-exploding bandits to the Second Highness Gong Yileng..."

Lord Li, who was exhausted, looked depressed and did not dare to look at Yichen directly.

Gong Yibo's promise was not as good as the old king's words, seeking success in the battle, but the task fell on the head of his competitor Gong Yileng.

After careful preparation for a while, I thought things would go in the direction I expected.

But before Gong Yibo had time to be happy, a basin of cold water was poured on the old king's head, which made him feel cold.

"Mr. Li means that the old king prefers Gong Yileng?"

Yichen only heard that before Gong Yiming left the palace, the old king favored him very much.

However, he did not expect that Gong Yibo actually lost the trust of the old king, which did not seem to be the treatment that Gong Yibo deserved.

"That's not the case. The second highness is mainly because he is strong in his attitude and boasts about the ministers, saying that he will take down the Ice Explosion Robbers within three months, and there is no need for a large number of officers and soldiers to go to war."

Lord Li shook his head and explained helplessly: "It happened that the plague broke out in the disaster-stricken area again. His Majesty the King ordered the Third Highness to be responsible for this..."

According to Lord Li, the old king thought that Gong Yibo was more suitable for doing some smart things than fighting and killing.

Everyone knows that the ice-burning band of robbers has been rampant for many years and has had many competitions with the Xuanbing Kingdom court, which is a difficult bone to crack.

Given that Gong Yileng can use the power of the world, it can be regarded as using barbarians to control barbarians, and it does not require too much consumption and can also eliminate bandits, how could the old king refuse such a thing that kills two birds with one stone?

After working hard, in the end, it was for others to make wedding dresses. Gong Yibo was depressed and Lord Li was depressed, but Wang was unable to do anything, so what could he do except accept it?

"Three months...What is Gong Yileng's reliance?"

Although Yichen didn't want to hear such a result, he was not too frustrated.

According to Gong Yileng's suggestion, he must be sure to win the Ice Explosion Robbers Group within three months, otherwise how could he dare to speak loudly in front of the court officials?

"I thought he would use Bing Rufeng, but in fact, the Second Highness had no such plan at all. It is said that he has recruited more than ten powerful war kings in the world and wanted to destroy the ice-exploding bandits through these people..."

Gong Yileng started to recruit powerful people in the world a few years ago, and it was quite effective. There were as many as dozens of people as the level of the War King's strong man.

According to the court's understanding of the Ice Explosion Robbers Group, they have no more than five War Kings strong men, and they are all at the beginning.

Compared with the two, Gong Yileng's advantage is huge, and it also represents the official position of the Xuanbing Kingdom. It will naturally be unstoppable and there is no suspense in the victory.

Gong Yileng announced in a high-profile manner that he would dispatch eight powerful war kings among the martial arts forces, only the court would need to allocate 10,000 officers and soldiers, and even generals above the deputy general level would not be used, and the rest would be handled by himself.

Unlike the previous bandit suppression, this time it was dominated by the forces of the martial arts world. The 10,000 officers and soldiers of the court were just a gimmick. Then, just pick the fruits of victory.

With this attitude, the old king and some ministers in the court were approved. Gong Yileng's plan to request a battle was approved.

"I don't think it's necessary..." A smile that was not easy to detect appeared on Yi Chen's face.

On the surface, what Gong Yileng said is indeed reasonable. The eight powerful war kings face less than five of the Ice Explosion Robbers Group, and there is no reason to worry about failure.

However, Gong Yileng is a prince after all, and has no real experience in leading the army and does not have a thorough understanding of the situation in the world.

If I knew that the Ice Explosion Robbers Group was a force of the Youyin Sect, I'm afraid Gong Yileng would not dare to say that.

"Captain Yi means... The second prince cannot complete the task, what is the reason?"

Lord Li captured some unknown expressions from Yichen's eyes, and couldn't help but become more interested.

Regardless of whether there is any help or not, it is unshirkable for Lord Li to help Gong Yibo win the position of crown prince.

If Gong Yileng encounters setbacks, he will give Gong Yibo a chance to win. Lord Li wants to know what Yichen means.

"Don't look at me like that. Although I disdain Gong Yileng's character, I will never help the Ice Explosion Robbers Group to deal with the imperial officers and soldiers."

Yi Chen gave Lord Li a blank look and said, "What I am interested in is Gong Yibo's mission. What happened to the outbreak of the plague among the victims?"

The reason why Gong Yileng may not succeed is based on the relationship between the Ice Explosion Robbers Group and the Youyin Sect, and no one can guarantee whether the eight powerful war kings work together.

But he was not considering how to destroy Gong Yileng's bandit suppression operation. Even if Yichen hates Gong Yileng, he would not be on the side of the Ice Explosion Robbers Group and Youyin Sect.

"Oh, it's not easy to deal with. Tens of thousands of victims have plagues, and nearly a thousand people have died. It's difficult to have a shortage of medical treatment and medicine..."

Speaking of the plague among the victims, Lord Li sighed repeatedly, not knowing whether he was feeling uncomfortable for the victims or sympathizing with the palace.

In the border areas of the Xuan Ice Mountains, natural disasters such as ice explosions and avalanches often occur. The villagers and people in that area cannot travel thousands of miles to make a living.

I can only gather in some seemingly safe areas and barely maintain my life.

Due to the hard living conditions and the harsh environment, the victims occasionally suffer from plague-like diseases.

It is located in a remote location, with almost no doctors entering, and there is even a shortage of medicinal materials. Even if someone can judge the disease, it is difficult to cure the sick victims.

Some time ago, a rare high temperature suddenly appeared deep in the Xuan Ice Mountains, and the cold and heat changed drastically, resulting in a large-scale plague.

There were tens of thousands of victims in total, and nearly a thousand people died due to the plague. Moreover, the plague was not controlled and its spread became more and more rapid and terrifying.

"There should be many doctors in the Xuanbing Kingdom and the imperial doctors in the palace. It is not a big problem to ask His Majesty the King to issue an order to go to the disaster-stricken area."

It is a trivial matter to find hundreds of doctors in a royal kingdom. It is a trivial matter to organize it quickly to stop the spread of the epidemic, which is also what the court should do.

Yichen didn't know that when this matter came to Lord Li, it became extremely difficult. What was the purpose of?

"Captain Yi forgot that the Second Highness had found hundreds of doctors, but most of them were killed by the king's killer..."

Lord Li looked at Yichen with a dejected expression, spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and looked helpless.
