Chapter 479 The Sudden Appearance of Enemies

The attributes of these people are sufficient. The slow digging speed is purely due to poor tools. A group of people dug out with spears. It’s so efficient. Compared to digging, it’s faster to smash the mountain. It only takes 20 minutes. , they smashed out the cave in Ye Tingbai's direction. There was still only one statue of the god lying flat in the cave.

The statue is made of ordinary material and looks like it was carved from a large piece of rock in one go. It is exactly the same as the previous one.

A leather scroll appeared in Ye Tingbai's pocket. He silently avoided Wang Quan's sight and came to the corner to open it and take a look. This scroll was like a spell, written with a few ancient characters. The art of dragon vein survey.

This is a kind of metaphysics. Based on the direction of the surrounding mountains, you can infer an ethereal dragon vein. This thing involves a lot of things, but it is not a big problem for the sub-personality, and the sub-personality has always done some research on this aspect.

In addition, Ye Tingbai can provide aerial views taken by drones, making this dragon vein exploration extremely simple.

Sub-personality: "This place and that village happen to be the head and tail of a dragon vein. And if you look at it according to the method above, this dragon vein is very large and graceful."

Ye Tingbai couldn't quite see things like dragon veins, but since this thing appeared, it meant that it was reasonable in this world, and he could only regard this as an established fact.

Judging from the results of this dragon vein, this should be some kind of formation, ritual or something else.

Ye Tingbai: "Draw this dragon vein."

The sub-personality hummed, then picked up a stone and started drawing on the ground. When he finished drawing, the system beep sounded again.

He couldn't take this thing with him, so he didn't feel any pressure to use it, but it suddenly became his own, which made Ye Tingbai a little reluctant to use it.

Wang Quan: "Do you know how to do Feng Shui? This terrain looks familiar~"

Ye Tingbai didn't notice when Wang Quan stood next to him. He was already trying his best to be vigilant, but he was caught and couldn't pretend that nothing happened.

"This is the topography of the neighborhood."

Wang Quan: "This, this, this, this, this, can't be a dragon vein diagram!"

Seeing Wang Quan's excited look, Ye Tingbai was a little confused. Could it be that this kind of ability is rare?

From the time the sub-personality took out the leather scroll to the time he learned it, it only took twenty minutes.

"Any questions?"

Wang Quan raised his hands and slapped Ye Tingbai heavily on the shoulder: "Brother, you are really talented. If you had said earlier that you could do this, why should we suffer this?"

"Is it important to draw dragon veins?"

Wang Quan: "I probably already know how your ancestors declined. Dragon Vein Technique was once listed as a forbidden technique, because regarding the fate of the royal family, as long as someone knows how to do it, their homes will be confiscated and executed.

This Dragon Vein Technique can only be learned by the royal family. However, due to a great change, this Dragon Vein Technique was completely lost. The emperor once issued an order that anyone who knows this Dragon Vein Technique can be granted the title of Third Grade Grand Master. member.

But decades have passed, and no one still dares to say that they can. "

Ye Tingbai: "Who dares to say this? If you say it, you will die. Prince, please don't hurt me. I really didn't know this thing was a controlled product."

Wang Quan: "Don't worry, kid. The emperor really needs talents like you now. He needs you to build ancestral halls and move palaces. But why are you suddenly drawing dragon vein diagrams?"

"These two places, one is the dragon's head and the other is the dragon's tail. Can you tell anything?"

Wang Quan: "I don't know much about the art of magic. I have to ask professional people for advice. You can follow me back to the imperial capital. This matter is too big. I must go back to see the Holy Master."

The two waited at the same spot for another hour, but no second arrow came. Ye Tingbai could only choose to return to the imperial capital with Wang Quan, but the hard-working Yulin army had another hard job. , transporting idols.

Naturally, this kind of thing cannot be left in the wild. It has to be transported back to the imperial capital, and the dozens of people from Ping'an Village have to be taken back with it.

The next day, Ye Tingbai and Wang Quan returned to the imperial capital early in the morning. Outside the imperial capital, Ye Tingbai saw a group of very outrageous troops. They actually used modern firearms and wore very modern clothes. They were not robes. A mandarin jacket, but a very common waistcoat and trousers.

Ye Tingbai: "What's going on with those armies?"

Wang Quan glanced in that direction, his eyes full of fear.

"That's the Huben Army, the Nanwang's army, which is incredibly powerful in combat."

Ye Tingbai: "Can this kind of army march freely in the country, since they are already so close to the imperial capital?"

"That is the privilege of King Nan. Besides, this part is just his personal guard. The real Tiger Army is 1.2 million, which is not even a fraction."

"Although it's a bit presumptuous to ask, I still want to ask, if King Nan wants to rebel, will any army be able to stop him?"

Wang Quan glared at Ye Tingbai, then sighed.

"The whole country's efforts can be destroyed together."

Ye Tingbai had a bad premonition in his heart. The timing of Nan Wang's appearance was too coincidental. He had a feeling that when he returned to the imperial capital this time, it might not be that simple to figure it out.

Wang Quan brought Ye Tingbai into the palace and met the emperor before the morning court session. After only two days of absence, the emperor seemed to have aged several years, with a few more white hairs on his temples.

Wang Quan: "Your Majesty, what happened to you??!! I've only been away for two days."

"It's only been two days, but I feel like I've been living for a long time~"

The emperor didn't ask what they found out, but asked Ye Tingbai: "Do you know what I'm thinking now?"

Ye Tingbai: "The emperor is thinking about whether to kill me or keep me."

"Oh, you're smart. Do you think I will kill you or keep you?"

"I guess you want to kill me now, but what we found out will make you change your mind."

The emperor didn't ask what they found out, but threw a letter to Ye Tingbai. The gist of the letter was that the King of Nan heard that the emperor was bewitched and put the King of Yan under house arrest, so he came to the imperial capital to rescue him.

The Southern Prince said that if the Emperor was willing to hand Ye Tingbai over to the Southern Prince, he would be willing to hand over the military power of the Tiger Guards and obey the Emperor's orders in everything.

Ye Tingbai felt a chill down his spine. He couldn't understand why the Southern Prince would do this. This kind of move of killing one thousand enemies and injuring ten thousand of his own, is the Southern Prince really a normal person?
