Yu Yunlong and Zhang Zhen sat on the deer carriage and left. The Imperial Palace no longer had a master. Although everything in the Imperial Palace was still going on, the Ice Jade Country was now without a leader.
However, Yu Yunlong's departure was a good thing for the people of the Ice Jade Country. This was especially true for the people of the Great Clans. This was because during this period of time, they had been suppressed by Yu Yunlong to the point that they couldn't breathe.
Yu Yunlong's actions during this period of time had weakened the influence of the Great Clans. This was especially true for the control of the army. This made the Great Clans feel that their influence had weakened. After all, they didn't have any weapons in their hands, so they couldn't be at ease.
Now that Yu Yunlong had left, it was a good thing for them. Since Yu Yunlong left, he naturally had no way to control the Ice Jade Country. They could also use this time to do other things and restore their strength.
However, when they really wanted to do something, they found that they couldn't do anything. First was the matter of the army. When Yu Yunlong left, he suddenly appointed a Grand Marshal of the Ice Jade Country. This Grand Marshal could control all the troops and horses in the country. All the troops and horses were under his control. It was impossible for anyone to intervene.
The people of the Great Clans originally wanted to see this Grand Marshal who suddenly appeared and see who he was. However, they quickly discovered that they were wrong. They couldn't see this mysterious Grand Marshal. This Grand Marshal had been living in the barracks. Moreover, he didn't live in the barracks, he lived in all the barracks of the Ice Jade Country. In the end, nobody knew where he was. If they wanted to see the Grand Marshal, they would have to enter the barracks. However, the Grand Marshal had ordered that the barracks were closed and no one was allowed to enter. Therefore, they couldn't see the Grand Marshal.
If they can't see the Grand Marshal, they can think of other ways. For example, they can control the army's supplies. No matter how many troops you have, without supplies, you have nothing. Those large clans still control the Ice Jade Nation's government, so it shouldn't be a problem to control the Ice Jade Nation's supplies.
However, they quickly discovered that they were wrong. Yu Yunlong seemed to have left behind another system. The problem of the army's supplies was no longer under their control, but under that system. Even if they didn't send any supplies to the army, the army's supplies wouldn't have any problems. At this point, the various clans discovered that it was impossible for them to reach out to the army.
It wasn't that no one thought about it. Using Yu Yunlong's absence as an excuse to break into the barracks, they wanted to see the Grand Marshal. They thought that with their family's influence, they would be fine. However, they didn't expect that after entering the barracks, they would immediately be killed. At the same time, the army sent people to arrest the family and put them in the barracks' prison. Before Yu Yunlong returns, no one would be able to get out of there.
This made the large clans of the Ice Jade Nation understand that with Yu Yunlong's absence, it was impossible for them to reach out to the army.
If they can't find a way in the army, then they can only think of other ways. For example, controlling some other forces, like some gangs in the city or some civilians outside the city.
However, they quickly discovered that if they wanted to control the gangs in the city, nobody would care about them. However, if they dared to touch the civilians outside the city, then someone would immediately come and take care of them. Moreover, this time, the one who came was the army.
After several probes, the large clans finally understood that although Yu Yunlong had left, there was still someone in charge of the Ice Jade Nation. Moreover, this person also had a bottom line. One was the army, and the other was the civilians. As for the government, this person didn't seem to care much about it. As for the gangs, they didn't even look at them.
After testing this bottom line, those large clans would naturally think of ways to increase their own strength. In a short period of time, the gangs of the various countries in the Ice Jade Nation had unexpectedly become a hot commodity.
Naturally, the large clans also investigated to see who was in charge of the Ice Jade Nation after Yu Yunlong left. Was it the prince who was in seclusion, Yu Yunlong? This investigation allowed them to find out that the person in charge of the Ice Jade Nation was actually Tang Ming!
Tang Ming had some impression of this person. He was originally a steward recruited by Jade Jiao Dragon. During Jade Jiao Dragon's rebellion, he contributed greatly. Later on, Jade Jiao Dragon went into seclusion to cultivate. Tang Ming was rewarded by Jade Jiao Dragon and became Jade Jiao Dragon's secretary. He often walked around the palace. However, no one thought that Jade Jiao Dragon would give him such an important task.
However, the Great Clans began to wonder if Tang Ming was just a cover while the Jade Jiao Dragon was the one in charge. And the Great Clans' purpose in doing this was to make the Great Clans take action and deal with them.
It wasn't strange for the large clans to think this way. Yu Yunlong's actions had affected their interests, so they couldn't help but think this way.
When the Great Clans thought of this, the Ice Jade Country calmed down. The Great Clans knew that it was impossible for them to fight with the Yu Family. If they were to fight with the Yu Family, then the consequences would be unimaginable. After all, the Yu Family had the knife in their hand. If they were to act recklessly, then the knife in the Yu Family's hand wouldn't be merciful.
However, the large clans couldn't understand. They didn't know what was going on with the Yu Family. Where did they suddenly get so many loyal and capable subordinates? This was too abnormal.
These big clans have been dealing with the Yu Family for a long time, so they were very clear about the Yu Family's situation. They also knew who the Yu Family's members were. However, they had never heard of Tang Ming. Tang Ming was very trusted by Yu Jiaolong, and Yu Yunlong trusted him as well. They often heard that Yu Yunlong would call Tang Ming over for questioning. All the big clans knew that this was a matter of discussion. Naturally, the person who can discuss matters with the Emperor was the most trusted person.
Besides Tang Ming, there were also the officers in charge of the army. Where did these people come from? Although they were transferred from the Imperial Army, they knew how many officers there were in the Imperial Army. There were absolutely none of these people. These people seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. Most importantly, they were very familiar with how to manage the army. After entering the army, they immediately took over a key department and then controlled the army. This was very strange. One must know that ordinary soldiers wouldn't be able to be an officer because they didn't have the experience of being a manager. But now, these people could do it. This was too strange.
Of course, the most mysterious person was the Grand Marshal. They still haven't seen the Grand Marshal's face. However, the people in the army were very obedient to the Grand Marshal's orders. Wasn't this even stranger?
All these strange things happened after Yu Jiao Long returned, and Yu Feilong and the others rebelled. They really didn't know what happened during that period of time.
Since they couldn't understand, the people from the Great Clans could only stop thinking about it. No matter what, the Ice Jade Country has become like this. They need to adapt as soon as possible. Moreover, they were also very concerned about Yu Yunlong's situation.
Naturally, it was impossible for these large clans to not know about the Ice Ocean Continent. They were very clear that the current Ice Ocean Continent was completely different from the previous one. With the appearance of the Spiritual World, the surrender of the Ice Soaring Country and the Icebound Country, Yu Feilong's rebellion under the instigation of the Spiritual World, and the invasion of the Snow Leopard Country by the Ghost Face Army, the current situation of the Ice Ocean Continent had completely changed. No one knew what would happen next.
As for the future of the Ice Ocean Continent, it wasn't only the Kings who were concerned about it. The Patriarchs of the large clans were also concerned about this matter. This was because if a war were to happen in the Ice Ocean Continent, then these large clans would inevitably be affected. And looking at the current situation, a war in the Ice Ocean Continent was inevitable. Therefore, they could only wait and see how the Ice Jade Country would deal with it.
To be honest, when they thought about this, the people of the large clans suddenly understood why the Yu Family suddenly wanted to control the army. If they didn't control the army, then they wouldn't be able to control what would happen in the future.
As for Yu Yunlong, who was being watched by the people of the Ice Jade Country, he was still in the capital of the Ice Mountain Country, Glacier City. This Glacier City was quite special, it was built on top of a glacier. Both on top of the glacier and inside the glacier was this large city. The entire city was majestic and spectacular.
However, Glacier City was very lively right now. This was because the Kings of several countries had arrived at the city. And it was impossible for these Kings to come alone. They all brought along a few hundred guards with them, and some even went up to a thousand. With so many people living in Glacier City, it made the city livelier than before.
When Yu Yunlong arrived at the Ice Mountain Country, he brought along a total of six hundred guards. These guards were all experts selected from the Imperial Army. Among them were fifty experts that Tang Ming had assigned to Yu Yunlong. These fifty experts were all from the Bewildering Soul Empire. Their fighting strength was much stronger than ordinary people. Most importantly, their attack and defense methods were completely different from the people of the Ice Ocean Continent. When necessary, they could play an unexpected role.
Tang Ming also thought that there might be people who would harm Yu Yunlong. Therefore, he sent these people to protect Yu Yunlong. Naturally, Yu Yunlong didn't oppose. He didn't want to die, he also wanted to see what it would be like to be the Governor of the Ice Ocean Province.
However, at this time, Yu Yunlong was frowning as he sat in the mansion that was arranged for him by the Ice Mountain Country. The mansion was very big, even though he and his guards lived in it, it still wasn't full. Moreover, the amount of food and clothing they had wasn't any worse than the amount of time he spent in the Ice Jade Country. However, Yu Yunlong wasn't happy at all. This was because he had been in the Ice Mountain City for five days now. Besides the first night when the King of the Ice Mountain Country invited him to a banquet, Yu Yunlong hadn't seen Qin Shan at all.
This time, they came to discuss how to form the Alliance. The military situation was like fire, so they should spend more time discussing military matters. At the very least, they should hurry up. But now, Qin Shan hadn't seen him for several days. What was the meaning of this?
After thinking about this, Yu Yunlong couldn't help but knit his brows even tighter. He turned to Zhang Zhen and said, "Zhang Zhen, did the people we sent get any information? Why didn't Qin Shan see us? "
Zhang Zhen shook his head and said, "I haven't inquired about it yet. As long as our people go out, they'll be watched. Even if they sneak out at night, they'll still be watched. I really can't get any information."
Yu Yunlong thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Send a letter to Tang Ming. Back then, His Majesty wanted to leave behind a large intelligence network in the Arctic Continent. I believe that we have people in the Iceberg Nation. Ask him to help investigate and see what Qin Shan is doing and what he wants." Zhang Zhen nodded, then he immediately took out a transmission formation. Then he took out a piece of paper and wrote a letter. Then he used the transmission formation to send it out.
Yu Yunlong looked at the transmission formation, then he let out a long breath and said, "If Tang Ming wasn't here, then this matter would be very difficult. Qin Shan didn't see us for so many days, he certainly doesn't have any good intentions. I just want to know what their plans are."
Zhang Zhen coldly snorted and said, "I think that they want to surrender. But it's impossible for our Ice Jade Country to surrender. Naturally, they wouldn't let us participate in their affairs."
Yu Yunlong nodded and said, "I think so too. I just want to know how things are right now. Have they already decided to surrender, or have they not decided yet? This way, we can make the appropriate response."
Just as Zhang Zhen was about to speak, the transmission formation lit up. Then a piece of paper appeared on the transmission formation. They couldn't be like Zhao Hai and use jade slips every time they teleport. They didn't have that many resources.
Zhang Zhen took the paper and looked at it. Then he handed it over to Yu Yunlong. Yu Yunlong looked at the words on the paper, then he put it down and said, "Sure enough, those fellows have already discussed this matter several times. Moreover, it's all about surrendering to the Spirit Realm. It's just that they didn't ask us to go. Fortunately, they didn't come to an agreement. Otherwise, I'm afraid that we would be captured and sent to the Spirit Realm."
Zhang Zhen said, "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
Yu Yunlong said in a deep voice, "Tang Ming also said that only three of those countries want to surrender. One of them is the Snow Leopard Nation. Although the Snow Leopard Nation's King and Great Clans are still around, their nation is gone. Their opinions can be ignored. The other two countries are very close to the Ice Rising Nation and the Icebound Nation. They want to surrender because they are too close to those two countries. If a war really breaks out, those two countries would be the first to suffer. That is why they want to surrender. Qin Shan and the others probably haven't made up their minds yet. That is to say, we still have a chance. Qin Shan will definitely meet us again. We don't have to be too anxious.
