Now that Zeng Hongshen is away and An Junshan is temporarily living in the General's Mansion, Di Xin can only temporarily stop practicing in order to prevent the innate great master from discovering the clues.
Of course, the ban still cannot be lifted, otherwise it will also be suspicious.
After dinner, Emperor Xin ordered that no one come to the backyard, but it was not for practicing, but for sitting in the pavilion in a daze, and occasionally sighing deliberately.
But what he was thinking about was not the destruction of his foundation, but the conversation he had with An Junshan during the day.
Of course he would attack the grassland after spring tomorrow because it was indeed an excellent opportunity, but besides that there was another reason why he didn't tell Anjunshan.
A few months ago, when he received the imperial edict from the old emperor, he indeed brought everyone from Prince Yu's Mansion to this borderland.
But this does not mean that Emperor Xin has completely given up on the capital.
You must know that his idea before leaving the capital was to wait for the most critical moment when the princes in the capital were competing for the throne, and then directly lead his army to force the palace to catch everyone by surprise.
In this case, he must be able to keep abreast of the trends in the capital at all times, otherwise if he gets the news after the new emperor succeeds to the throne, the day lily will be cold.
The reason why he took everyone away at that time was because the servants, maids, and guards of Prince Yu's Mansion were all recruited in the capital, and their identity information was clear at a glance. If they were left in the capital, everyone would know that they were Prince Yu's people.
In that case, not only would everyone know that King Yu was determined to fight for the throne, but the lives of those who stayed in the capital would be in danger, not to mention passing on the news.
The battle for the throne has always been cruel, and every time it is accompanied by bloodshed, the death of someone is nothing.
People who followed from the capital couldn't use it, but people in the border areas didn't have this problem.
After Di Xin came to Yanque Pass and established a foothold, he secretly recruited and trained a group of astute people. Following the exchange of caravans, they quietly arrived in the capital in batches.
These people have no other mission, which is to regularly return the information collected in the capital to Yanqueguan Di Xin. In order to avoid exposing their identities to the greatest extent possible, they do not even need to collect information that is too top-secret.
All Di Xin needed was to return to the capital in time at the last moment. He never wanted to participate in the struggle of those princes, so the news that had been circulated in the capital was almost enough.
Besides, the eighth prince, Prince Qi, would also mention some affairs of the court and other princes in letters home to him from time to time.
Combining the two, Di Xin could roughly deduce the extent of the competition for the capital.
And just a few days ago, the news from the spies mentioned something.
About half a month ago, the second prince, Prince Jing, suddenly rebelled, intending to force the emperor to give up the throne to him. At that time, a small number of worshipers in the palace were bribed by him at some point, so His Highness Prince Jing successfully surrounded the palace.
However, the second prince, Prince Jing, did not even get close to the Golden Palace, and was successfully captured by His Highness Prince Cheng who followed closely, stopping the rebellion.
Before delivering the news, His Highness Prince Jing had been demoted to a commoner by the emperor and driven out of the capital.
In the subsequent letter from King Qi, he also confirmed that this incident happened, but the specific details were more detailed.
It is said that on that day, there were two warlocks in the square in front of the Jinluan Palace. One of the Xiantian Grand Masters always attacked three worshipers at the same time, but they were suppressed by Cheng Wang, who had become a strong man in the second realm at some time.
When he saw the previous news, Di Xin had no expression on his face. There are always impatient people in the battle for the throne. It is normal to force the palace to rebel. But when he saw the fight behind him, he narrowed his eyes.
.
The reason why Old Man Tiancan is famous is that besides being the leader of the rebel army thirty years ago, his greatest achievement is that he killed four members of the royal family by one person.
But it was not one against four. In fact, there were more than four worshipers dispatched to deal with Zeng Hongshen.
These four strong men of the same realm were separated by Zeng Hongshen using different strategies, and were killed after defeating each one. If they faced each other at the same time, not to mention four, even three Zeng Hongshen would only be able to defeat them.
Escape.
However, this alone has already made Zeng Hongshen famous.
Zeng Hongshen is already a leader among the second-level natives in the Ancient Moon Realm. With his strength, he cannot deal with three second-level experts at the same time, let alone suppress them easily.
The only one who can do this is Dali's previous emperor, Xia Yan.
King Cheng suppressed three second-level experts. Although it was slightly inferior to Xia Yan's strongest record, it was still extremely amazing. His strength at least surpassed that of Zeng Hongshen.
The most important point is that King Cheng is only twenty-eight years old this year, which is a much younger age than Xia Yan at that time. Most extraordinary people have not even reached the late stage of the first level at this age.
Combining all the clues, Di Xin had a vague guess.
This King Cheng is very likely to be a Realm Lord who has arrived, and will arrive earlier than him.
Di Xin suddenly felt a little lucky. Fortunately, King Cheng didn't know how long he had just arrived and was cautious and didn't take action. Otherwise, he would have been eliminated at that time.
As for the issue of identity exposure.
Before he started deliberately hiding his identity, His Royal Highness Prince Yu suddenly changed his style of doing things. Perhaps to others, it was just a small counterattack by a low-key prince, but for the world leader, there was another explanation.
After guessing that King Cheng might be a Realm Lord, Di Xin was basically sure that his identity had been exposed to him.
There is currently too little information, and Di Xin cannot confirm why King Jing suddenly rebelled, but King Cheng's actions revealed another signal.
He suppressed three second-level experts with a single move. If other realm masters such as Di Xin knew about this, they would easily become suspicious of King Cheng's identity, thus hastening the exposure of his identity.
When all the Realm Lords are keeping a low profile and hiding their identities, the exposed Realm Lords will easily be targeted by other Realm Lords and withdraw from the battle of Realm Lords early.
Ashinasi is the simplest example. Di Xin guessed that there was a realm master in the Ashina tribe, so after confirming that the Ashina tribe would be destroyed, he still took Zeng Hongshen to sneak into the depths of the grassland in person.
The purpose is to ensure that Ashinas will be eliminated from the game.
No realm master would be so arrogant as to actively fall into a situation that is unfavorable to him even though he knows that there are other realm masters. Therefore, Cheng Wang's abnormal behavior now vaguely illustrates one thing.
He no longer cares much about whether his identity as a Realm Master will be exposed to other Realm Masters.
