Chapter 1863

The Pei Kingdom and the Ze Kingdom retreated.

According to the agreement, the Pei Kingdom would return two counties, and the Ze Kingdom would return one. The Mist Kingdom's remaining five counties would be given to the new Mist King, Marquis Mu Yehou.

Compared to the twenty-four counties at their peak, the Mist Kingdom was greatly weakened. Marquis Mu Yehou was sad and unwilling, but he didn't even have the right to bargain.

Prince Wu Lie had already sent him a letter. The agreement was set by him, and he couldn't change it. He was forbidden to do anything irrational.

Mu Yehou was filled with regret. He felt like Wu Lie had sold him out. However, the Mist Kingdom was already stuck between two countries, and he couldn't afford to lose Wu Lie as his backer. He could only grit his teeth and accept everything.

Before the Pei Kingdom retreated, Gu Chen personally went to the Mist Capital to see Marquis Mu Yehou.

Because of his special relationship with Wu Lie, Marquis Mu Yehou knew who the true ruler of the Pei Kingdom was. So when he saw Gu Chen, he couldn't help but feel a little fearful.

Gu Chen didn't say anything. He simply introduced himself to Marquis Mu Yehou, patted his shoulder, and left.

Seeing that he didn't make things difficult for him, Marquis Mu Yehou sighed in relief. Gu Chen's words echoed in his mind.

"Sometimes, being a Marquis Anle is happier than being the Mist King. Set your sights in the long term, and don't worry about temporary gains and losses. Maybe in the future, you'll get more than you can imagine. "

Was it a threat? It didn't seem like it.

But if it was a warning, Marquis Mu didn't understand.

The young man who came and went in a hurry left him with only one impression: unfathomable.

The Pei Kingdom's territory expanded to the west, gaining twelve more counties. This caused the entire kingdom to celebrate.

The Pei Kingdom's territory expanded to the west, gaining twelve more counties. This caused the entire kingdom to rejoice.

The Pei Kingdom was rich to begin with, and the Mist Kingdom was known for its military strength. Now that Pei Kingdom had obtained half of the Mist Kingdom's territory, its national strength increased greatly, and it became one of the strongest among the seven countries.

This shocked the other countries. Originally, when Liu Yan inherited the throne, the other countries only saw it as a joke and didn't even bother to send envoys to visit the new king.

This shocked the various countries. Originally, when Liu Yan had inherited the throne, the various countries had only treated it as a joke, not even bothering to send envoys to visit the new king.

However, the situation was different now. Various countries sent envoys to Peidu with valuable gifts to pay a visit to King Pei. Even within the borders of Shengyang, there were people who came to visit.

Liu Yan became the leader of Pei Country's resurgence, and news about him quickly spread.

Gu Chen, the Imperial Teacher who had been deliberately keeping a low profile, gradually became more and more famous.

It was rumored that the rise of the State of Pei and the achievements of Prince Pei, Liu Yan, were all because he had taken a reclusive expert as his master.

The identity and origin of this expert naturally aroused the interest of various countries. Many people secretly conducted investigations.

In short, Gu Chen had officially stepped onto the stage of the Seven Nations of Dacheng!

…

In the headquarters of Wang Zheng Pavilion, Ye Wunian finished reading the intelligence report from the Mist Kingdom, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"This lad really didn't disappoint me. The Pavilion of Honesty didn't lose out this time."

Taoist Householder Peach Blossom was at the side. When he heard this, he sighed emotionally. "I didn't expect him to make the Wild Fox Patriarch publicly express his support for Prince Wu Lie. It seems that he has a strong influence on both the State of Pei and the State of Ze."

"Not just these two countries, but also the Mist Kingdom. The Mist Kingdom is now surrounded by the other two countries, and its national strength has weakened. In the long run, it will definitely become a vassal of the State of Pei. Whatever Chen Yi says goes, "Ye Wunian said with a smile.

Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, "When did Chen Yi get in touch with the State of Ze? When you went to the State of Ze last time, did he meet the Wild Fox Patriarch? "

Taoist Householder Peach Blossom shook his head. "Chen Yi was with us from the beginning to the end. We went around the Wild Fox Royal City and didn't enter at all. It's impossible for him to have met the Wild Fox Patriarch."

Hearing this, Ye Wunian touched her chin. "In that case, he convinced the Wild Fox Patriarch to send troops with just letters, or perhaps he knew the Wild Fox Patriarch a long time ago?"

Wang Zheng Pavilion didn't have much information about Gu Chen. It started from the Luo Gate. As for who he met and where he went before the Luo Gate, they had no idea.

And Gu Chen's experience in Peidu had been known through Ye Mi and the others, so it was unlikely that he had met the Wild Fox Patriarch during this period.

"Anyone would be tempted to give away such a large territory and benefits, even if they haven't met before."

Taoist Householder Peach Blossom didn't think much of it and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Ye Wunian nodded. It made sense.

"We did help Chen Yi a lot this time, but compared to the State of Ze, the benefits are far less," Taoist Householder Peach Blossom said again.

Householder Peach Blossom added. Mobilizing 7555 assassins to carry out an assassination was a huge task that required a large amount of manpower and resources. Even a Kingdom War level assassin like him was exhausted.

"It's nothing. Chen Yi is a member of Wang Zheng Pavilion. What he has will belong to Wang Zheng Pavilion sooner or later!"

Ye Wunian was full of ambition, and her eyes shone brightly.

"Looks like I have to hurry Ye Mi. Her progress is a little slow …"

In Peidu, Gu Chen had returned.

Most of the matters in the Mist Kingdom had been settled. All that was left was to digest and govern the twelve commanderies.

The Mist Kingdom was filled with endless deserts, which were boring to look at for a long time. It was nowhere near as beautiful as Pei. In terms of prosperity, Mist Capital was far from Peidu.

Thus, Gu Chen left everything to Tang Xuance and returned to Peidu leisurely, happy to be a hands-off boss.

Before he entered Peidu, he heard that under the call of King Pei, the State of Pei had formulated a ten-year plan to reclaim the land in the west. A large number of Pei citizens would be moved to the twelve new commanderies to boost the local economy.

Gu Chen expressed his admiration for King Pei's move. This was undoubtedly a good way to subtly turn the Mist Kingdom's territory into Pei's.

He hadn't chosen the wrong person to support. Liu Yan's performance in all aspects was very good.

When Gu Chen returned to the Luo Water Palace, Liu Yan heard the news and immediately came to visit.

His teacher had only gone out once, and he had conquered half of the Mist Kingdom for him. This was something Liu Yan had never dared to dream of.

Only now did he truly understand what his teacher meant, and he was even more convinced of his teacher's abilities.

Gu Chen examined Liu Yan's condition. Although he had left, he had instructed that Liu Yan's treatment must continue.

Compared to when they had first met, Liu Yan's complexion was much better, and his body had also become more robust. The only regret was that his eye disease still existed.

"Not bad. It seems that you've been following my instructions while I was away. In a few more days, we can start treating your eyes. "

Gu Chen finished his examination and said with satisfaction.

Liu Yan's face was instantly filled with excitement and anticipation.

While the two were chatting, a palace eunuch hurried over to report.

"Your Majesty, someone outside the palace requests an audience with Mister Chen."

Gu Chen could not help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this. He asked, "Did he say who he was?"

"He did. He said that he was Mister Chen's relative," the eunuch hurriedly replied respectfully.

"My relative?"

Gu Chen was taken aback. This was interesting. How could he have a relative?
