Chapter 1804

"Of course I didn't forget. I was going to look for Miss Ye in a few days, but I didn't expect you to come here yourself."

Gu Chen explained with a smile. His words melted Ye Mi's dissatisfaction.

"If that's the case, then come with me now." She immediately took over the conversation, not giving Gu Chen a chance to regret.

"So urgent?" Gu Chen was surprised.

"Why? You don't want to? I've waited for many days. Don't tell me you still need time to prepare. "Ye Mi glared at him.

"That's not it. It's just that I can't leave Peidu for too long. Where are we going to meet the Pavilion Master, and how long will it take to go back and forth?"

It wasn't that Gu Chen was unwilling. In fact, he had long wanted to meet the Pavilion Master of Honesty Pavilion. It was just that he was working with Wu Lie now. If he left for too long, the original plan would inevitably go awry.

"So that's what you're worried about. Don't worry. The Pavilion Master is in the Ze Kingdom right now. It'll take us at most ten days to get there. It won't delay you. Besides, what could be more important than meeting the Pavilion Master? This concerns your future in the Pavilion, "Ye Mi said.

"Ten days?" Gu Chen estimated. If it was only ten days, it shouldn't be a problem, so he nodded. "Alright. I'll see you outside the city tomorrow morning."

"Can't you leave now?" Ye Mi was worried that Gu Chen would delay again.

"Before I leave, I have to say something. What will the people in the palace think if I suddenly disappear?" Gu Chen frowned slightly, thinking that Ye Mi was too anxious.

Gu Chen's words made sense, and Ye Mi knew his current status in Peidu, so she didn't force him.

"Alright, I'll see you outside the city tomorrow morning. I'll wait for you."

With that, she turned and left the room, quickly disappearing into the night.

As soon as she left, Wuji Tyrannosaurus Rex arrived, only to see Gu Chen pondering.

Wuji Tyrannosaurus Rex had already sensed Ye Mi sneaking into the Luo Water Palace. However, it knew that Gu Chen had plans for Pavilion Master, so it didn't stop him or show up.

"Swamp Kingdom …"

Gu Chen thought for a while and came back to his senses. He summoned the palace maid who was in charge of serving him outside the palace. "Go and invite Lord Tang. Tell him to come here."

"Now?" The palace maid was stunned. It was already night time.

"Immediately," Gu Chen said with certainty. The palace maid no longer hesitated and hurried to the Tang Mansion.

Tang Xuance arrived in less than an hour. He was dressed in casual clothes, and it was clear that he was in a hurry because he didn't know if Gu Chen had summoned him for an emergency.

"What can I do for you, Mr. Chen?" Tang Xuance asked politely.

"It's nothing important. I just wanted to ask you about the Ze Kingdom." Gu Chen went straight to the point.

"Swamp Country?" Tang Xuance was taken aback.

He thought that it was something urgent and that he couldn't ask the questions tomorrow?

He thought that something bad had happened when he was called over in the middle of the night.

Despite his dissatisfaction, Tang Xuance respectfully replied, "May I know what Mr. Chen wishes to know about the Ze Kingdom?"

"Previously, the Mist Kingdom invaded the Pei Kingdom's border. When the Pei Kingdom was in danger, they asked for help from the Ze Kingdom but were rejected. Is that true?" Gu Chen asked.

"It is true."

Tang Xuance's face darkened. The Pei Kingdom and the Ze Kingdom had formed an alliance long ago to fight against the Mist Kingdom.

Their relationship had been good for many years. However, when the Mist Kingdom invaded, the Pei Kingdom asked for help from the Ze Kingdom several times, but the Ze Kingdom ignored them all.

If the Ze Kingdom was willing to send troops, even if it was just an attack at the border, the Mist Kingdom might have already retreated. How could the Pei Kingdom be in danger?

This matter made the Pei Kingdom's court very dissatisfied. Now, the alliance between the two countries was practically useless.

"Do you know why the Ze Kingdom refused to help?" Gu Chen asked.

"The details are unclear. The Ze Kingdom explained that the Great Desolate Swamp is not peaceful recently. They need to be on guard, so they can't send troops."

"The Great Desolate Swamp is not peaceful?" Gu Chen frowned. He had looked up the map of the seven countries of Dacheng and knew that the Ze Kingdom was bordered by the Pei Kingdom and the Mist Kingdom on one side, and the boundless Great Desolate Swamp on the other.

It was an incomparably large primordial swamp that was not under the jurisdiction of any country. It was rarely visited and was famous for being dangerous.

"That's what they say, but the tribes in the Great Desolate Swamp often harass the Ze Kingdom's borders. It's not something that happened in a day or two. The Ze Kingdom is used to it and has a defense mechanism. In my opinion, that's just an excuse. The main reason the Ze Kingdom refused to send troops was because the Luo Gate disappeared and they felt that our Pei Kingdom was doomed. "

Tang Xuance sighed heavily. The relationship between countries was based on their own interests, so the Ze Kingdom's actions were not to be blamed.

If it wasn't for the person in front of him stabilizing the situation, even he couldn't see how the Pei Kingdom could have escaped the disaster.

From Tang Xuance's words, Gu Chen understood many things about the Ze Kingdom and had a rough idea.

"Alright, it's getting late. You can go back now, Lord Tang. By the way, I'll be leaving Peidu tomorrow, and it might be half a month or a month before I return. I'll have to trouble Lord Tang to inform the Pei King about this. "

"Mr. Chen is leaving Peidu? Could it be that you're going to the Ze Kingdom? " Tang Xuance was surprised. Thinking of Gu Chen's sudden interest in the Ze Kingdom and his many questions, he had a guess.

Gu Chen smiled but didn't explain. "I'll have to trouble Lord Tang to take care of Peidu."

"I wouldn't dare. I hope Mr. Chen will return as soon as possible." Tang Xuance wanted to ask more, but seeing that Gu Chen wasn't willing to say more, he could only drop the subject.

Tang Xuance left and watched the Wuji Tyrannosaurus Rex pass by. He asked curiously, "Is the Pavilion Master of Honesty Pavilion in the Ze Kingdom?"

It could more or less guess the purpose of Ye Mi's visit, and since Gu Chen suddenly asked about the Ze Kingdom, there must be some connection between them.

"That's right. Since I'm going on this trip, I might as well visit the Wild Fox Tribe." Gu Chen touched his nose.

The Wild Fox Tribe was the largest tribe in the Ze Kingdom, and the Ze Kingdom's royal family was also from this tribe.

There were thousands of tribes in the Primordial Dao World, and humans were neither the most numerous nor the most powerful. Most of the dynasties and kingdoms were ruled by other tribes.

Regimes like the Peidu Kingdom that were ruled by a human king were rare.

"When do we set off?" The Wuji Tyrannosaurus Rex didn't ask any more questions. In any case, it would go wherever Gu Chen went. It was his most loyal guard.

"Let's set off now." After talking with Tang Xuance for quite a while, the sky was almost bright.

Thus, inconspicuously, Gu Chen and the Wuji Tyrannosaurus Rex left Peidu and met up with Ye Mi outside the city.

Seeing that Gu Chen came quickly this time and didn't drag his feet, Ye Mi was very satisfied.

Thus, the two of them set off without stopping. In just four days, they entered the Ze Kingdom.

As they neared their destination, Ye Mi heaved a sigh of relief and finally stopped hurrying.

Seeing how anxious she was, Gu Chen realized that what was coming wasn't as simple as meeting the Pavilion Master of Honesty Pavilion.
