Ye Yuan looked back at the crack in the sky above the capital. It was getting bigger and bigger, and the aura leaking out was getting stronger and stronger.
Based on Ye Yuan's experience with the second level, it is estimated that the second level on the opposite side of the crack will be able to come out in about ten hours.
When the time comes, I don’t know what changes will occur.
At the same time, Ye Yuan still has a question.
In front of so many second-order people, can they really survive a year?
When Ye Yuan was sighing, Qinglong came to him on horseback.
This usually calm man showed a look of confusion on his face for the first time and asked proactively.
"Lord Yu, do you think... there is still hope for the Ming Dynasty?"
Ye Yuan didn't know whether there was hope for Daming, but he himself...had hope.
Ye Yuan said with certainty.
"have."
Then, he gently pinched the horse's belly, and the horse ran obediently towards the front of the team.
Qinglong looked at the departing figure, still feeling heavy.
Living on the edge of life and death for many years gave him a premonition that was beyond ordinary people.
But now, his premonition is very bad, he can't see the light...
In the spacious carriage, the emperor was lying on the soft bed, his face looked exhausted, but he could hold on for a while and would not fall asleep immediately.
Originally, his health was just getting better, but as a result, he just managed to perform a scene and didn't faint on the spot, which is considered good.
Naturally, the emperor had no strength to speak anymore.
Fortunately, he still had his mother. The Queen Mother sat next to him and asked Ye Yuan.
"…Is there any news about Cao Zhengchun?"
Ye Yuan glanced at the emperor with some embarrassment, a little afraid that he would not be able to bear the blow and die.
The emperor also noticed Ye Yuan's concerns and waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to worry, he could bear it.
Moreover, he knew it might be bad news and was mentally prepared.
Ye Yuan curled his lips secretly.
It's weird if you can bear it.
There was no other way, facing this stubborn emperor, Ye Yuan had no choice but to speak tactfully.
"Just before the cracks in the sky appeared, there was news that half of Rama's remains appeared, and the address was at Yunhe Temple outside the capital. Then, Dongchang and Hulong Villa gathered at Yunhe Temple after receiving the news. The result was that the Lord Shen died.
, Cao Zhengchun is dead, Sunflower Patriarch is dead..."
As Ye Yuan explained the process in more detail, both the Queen Mother and her son became nervous and showed no intention of relaxing.
After all, although his biggest enemy Zhu Wuwu was dead, a more difficult enemy appeared now... King Xian.
Moreover, the other party has now become a top master.
There is almost no comparison between the two sides.
The Queen Mother forced herself to remain calm and asked in disbelief.
"...So, Dongchang is gone?"
Ye Yuan nodded and added very cruelly.
"Yes, all the elites of Dongchang were killed by Hulong Villa, leaving only some small fish and shrimps."
The Queen Mother said with a gloomy face.
"The wise king has three thousand well-trained heavy armored cavalry and the support of the richest man's thirteen thousand?"
Ye Yuan couldn't bear it, but he still nodded solemnly to confirm the news.
The emperor couldn't help but ask after hearing the bad news.
"Queen Mother, Master Zhang..."
The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor with a wry smile and explained.
"This is an internal matter within the Ming Dynasty royal family. Mr. Zhang will not interfere in this matter. Otherwise, Wang Shuzhu would not be so rampant if he ignored it."
Ye Yuan's eyes showed a look of thought.
It turned out that Zhang Zhenren had an agreement with the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
No wonder the royal arsenal contains all the martial arts of the Wu-Tang Clan.
However, this agreement now seems to be a bit of a trap.
However, if you think about it more carefully, it is normal operation, and such an agreement is beneficial to both parties.
The Ming Dynasty did not need to worry about Wudang intervening in the emperor's dethronement, and Wudang did not need to get involved in the internal fighting of the royal family. He was aloof and free.
All in all, it's a win-win in the big picture.
…
After Ye Yuan left, only the mother and son, the Queen Mother and the Emperor, were left in the carriage.
"Mother, why did you tell me the specific covenant with Zhenren Zhang just now?"
The Queen Mother looked at the emperor lovingly, grabbed his hand and replied.
"To shock Yuhuatian!"
The emperor's eyes widened and he looked at the Queen Mother in confusion.
The Queen Mother looked at the somewhat slow emperor and felt very uncomfortable.
After all, if the emperor was healthy, he would have figured it out long ago, but now, he doesn't have the energy. Even thinking about more things will be a huge burden on his body. What should he do in the future?
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother looked helpless and distressed, and finally turned into a sigh and said.
"Alas, Yuhuatian is now the pinnacle grandmaster, and his strength may still be above number one..."
The pinnacle grandmaster!
The emperor cheered up and his eyes became bright.
Now, for the royal family, or more accurately, for him as the emperor, the loss has been huge.
The deaths of the three great masters, Sunflower Ancestor, Liu Xi and Cao Zhengchun, made the incomplete Yumajian and Dongchang unable to play their due role.
Originally, there were many skilled eunuchs in the palace, so he didn't have to worry about this.
However, the appearance of Rama's body broke all this.
For people like eunuchs who are physically disabled, restoring their bodies to a complete state is paramount.
Moreover, people at this time had an overwhelming obsession with being buried with a complete body.
Therefore, after Patriarch Sunflower died, or after he left the palace.
A bloody storm swept through the palace, centered on the arsenal.
One by one, the eunuchs rushed over without hesitation, and in the end, a bloody Shura field was left behind.
As for whose hands the half of Rama's body ended up, no one knows.
However, when the emperor left, he was accompanied only by a few confidant eunuchs, who were still young eunuchs with little cultivation.
Therefore, the emperor had almost no one available.
Of course, as the companion capital of Jinling, this metropolis that was the second heart of the Ming Dynasty, there must be important personnel stationed there.
However, most of the civil and military affairs and even the eunuchs here were the result of failed power struggles.
This also means that their cultivation levels are not high.
Among them, the most powerful one is Wanyu Tower who was stationed here by Dongchang. He has a super first-class cultivation level and is not even a grandmaster.
Moreover, whether these people can be loyal to him as the emperor is a question.
Therefore, the power currently held by the emperor is actually not at all.
As for the powerful team headed by the pinnacle grandmaster No. 1 and supported by nine grandmasters.
They are only responsible for protecting the safety of the emperor and the queen mother, and do not care about anything else. No one can move them.
Therefore, the emperor was overjoyed by the fact that the governor of the West Factory was a top master.
Because the value of a peak grandmaster far exceeds that of Cao Zhengchun and Liu Xi.
As long as Ye Yuan is around, the emperor doesn't have to worry about the people below him doing anything they want to do, and he can't help but be displeased.
The Empress Dowager knew the emperor's little thoughts at a glance and said helplessly.
"Don't be too happy too early. Don't forget that Yuhuatian belongs to Wan Zhen'er. Moreover, he is still very young and has an unstable temperament. He is not so easy to control."
The emperor could not fully agree with the Queen Mother's words.
After all, in his opinion, Wan Zhen'er and he are one, so Xiao Yuzi is also his confidant.
The only thing the Queen Mother was right about was that her temper was unstable.
Xiao Yuzi is indeed too young. Although he is strong and capable of doing things, no one knows what he will become in the future.
Seeing that her son was aware of the seriousness of the problem, the Queen Mother did not want him to be too upset to avoid affecting his body, so she comforted him.
"Don't worry too much. Be kind to Wan Zhen'er in the future. Besides, General..."
