Chapter 1912
"Everything is normal in the Yan Nation and the Yue Nation. There is no news of the Flaming Sun Crown Prince."
"In Beijing, the new emperor has ascended to the throne and has ordered the various countries to send their ambassadors to pay respects."
"The Ze Kingdom and the Mist Kingdom have also sent letters to discuss the meeting. They have stated that they will advance and retreat together with the Pei Kingdom on this matter."
Tang Xuance stood below, summarizing the reports from the seven nations and Rising Sun Realm before reporting them to Gu Chen and Prince Pei.
After listening, Gu Chen just closed his eyes, his fingers gently tapping on the table, thinking.
It had been seven days since he had returned to Peidu, which was more than enough time for everything that had happened in Beijing to spread within Dynasty's borders.
In Beijing, the ascension of the little Royal Grandson was within his expectations. However, the Flaming Sun Crown Prince was nowhere to be seen. This made him a little confused.
"The Flaming Sun Crown Prince's heart has been on the throne for a long time. Logically speaking, if he escapes from Beijing, he would definitely do something about it. Therefore, I believe that the Flaming Sun Crown Prince has most likely died in the ancestral land of the Blazing Sun Clan. "
"Based on the reports from the capital, this seems to be the case. When the Burning Sun Clan's ancestral land collapsed, the entire capital was locked down. If the Flaming Sun Crown Prince managed to escape, it's impossible that no one noticed him."
Tang Xuance shared his analysis. Liu Yan nodded repeatedly, but Gu Chen did not comment.
From the reports that he had, what Tang Xuance had said was highly likely to be true. However, Gu Chen felt that the Flaming Sun Crown Prince would not live such a short life.
As he pondered, he opened his eyes and looked at Ye Mi. "Miss Ye, what do you think? Is there any report on the Flaming Sun Crown Prince from Modest Pavilion? "
Ye Mi and Tang Xuance stood almost side by side. One of them controlled the reporting organization of the Pei Nation's imperial court, while the other controlled the channels of the Modest Pavilion. They were like two eyes for Gu Chen.
Ye Mi seemed to be in a daze, only coming back to his senses after hearing Gu Chen's words. He looked a little flustered.
"The House of Honesty did not receive any news about the Flaming Sun Crown Prince either. As for whether the Flaming Sun Crown Prince is dead or alive, I do not dare to make a conclusion so easily. "
She said, but in her heart, she was thinking about the scene when the Flaming Sun Crown Prince left.
At that time, the Flaming Sun Crown Prince had clearly told his godfather that he planned to go to the Flaming Nation. If he had really appeared in the Flaming Nation, how could there be no news of him in the Flaming Nation?
This made her a little uneasy, so she was distracted when she heard that there was no news from Tang Xuance's side. When she heard Gu Chen's question, she instinctively felt guilty.
Gu Chen noticed Ye Mi's absent-mindedness and was a little surprised, but he didn't doubt her words.
Over the past few days, he had personally entered and exited the Soul Traversing Realm of Honesty Pavilion several times. Regarding the whereabouts of the Flaming Sun Crown Prince, he couldn't completely rely on Ye Mi's reports. He had to gather information from various sources and also personally inquire about it.
Now that he was treated well in the Pavilion of Honesty, he had access to most of the news that Ye Mi had access to. Hence, he knew that she was right. The Pavilion of Honesty did not know the whereabouts of the Flaming Sun Crown Prince.
The reports from both parties were the same. This meant that the Flaming Sun Crown Prince was most likely dead. Even if he wasn't dead, there was a high possibility that he had escaped from the Da Cheng Dynasty.
"Continue to pay close attention to the reports from all sides. Inform me immediately if there's any news."
Gu Chen felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he had no choice but to leave the hall.
…
Pei Nation, Hexing Commandery, Wanglou Ancient City.
Hexing Commandery was originally the territory of the Mist Kingdom, but it had been annexed by the Pei Nation during a great war with the Mist Kingdom.
Wanglou Ancient City was located at the border of the commandery. On the other side, it belonged to Chang Kui Commandery, which had been annexed by the Ze Kingdom.
The two countries used this place as a demarcation line and divided the land of the Mist Kingdom. They had always lived in harmony.
Tonight, on the watchtower of Wanglou Ancient City, the patrolling soldiers had just finished their shift and looked drowsy.
The Pei Nation and the Ze Kingdom had always been on the same side. There was no war on the border, and the patrols were mostly made up of smuggled refugees. The threat was extremely low, so the soldiers' vigilance was also low.
On the watchtower, a few soldiers chatted as they looked at the land of the Ze Kingdom in the distance, which was shrouded in darkness.
There were many deserts in the former Mist Kingdom, so there was no end in sight.
Rumble —
Suddenly, a shocking sound came from ahead, accompanied by the shaking of the ground.
"What's happening?"
The soldiers' chatting stopped abruptly as they looked ahead in shock. In the darkness, there seemed to be countless black shadows gliding across the ground at high speed, rapidly approaching Wanglou Ancient City!
"Not good! There's an enemy attack! "
The soldiers immediately realized what was going on and wanted to ring the alarm, but a gray shadow suddenly pounced in from outside the window!
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and the cries of the soldiers rang out. When the cries stopped, a gray fox with a fierce glint in its eyes pushed open the door and left.
Outside the watchtower, the corpses of the Pei Nation's soldiers could be seen everywhere. Wild foxes howled excitedly as they opened the gate of Wanglou Ancient City from within!
An hour later.
The city was breached, and the city was filled with burning flames. A Wild Fox with a scar over one eye and a long gray beard on both sides of his sharp mouth stepped into Wanglou Ancient City, accompanied by a large man with a masculine face.
"They can't even withstand a single blow." The Wild Fox Ancestor shook his head and laughed.
"The Wild Fox Army is unstoppable, and the Pei Nation's troops are indeed weak. According to our original agreement, please continue the attack, and we will keep our promise. When the time comes, the twelve commanderies that the Pei Nation occupied will all belong to the Wild Fox Tribe, "Mingshou said politely.
"Don't worry, it is the Old Man's honor to be able to serve Mister Gu. The Old Man will do his best."
The Wild Fox Ancestor smiled and asked, "But how will you explain to the Mist King? What benefits did the Qiankun Group promise him that he would be willing to give up the twelve commanderies?"
"Don't worry about this, Senior. The Mist King lives under your command, how would he dare to have any improper thoughts?" Mingshou guessed the Wild Fox Ancestor's thoughts and immediately replied.
"That's true."
The Wild Fox Ancestor nodded, but then said with concern, "That Pei Nation's Chen Yi is a little troublesome. If we can't eliminate him, even if we get the Pei Nation, we won't be able to live in peace."
"Senior, don't worry, everything has been arranged. That Chen Yi has no chance of escaping," Mingshou said confidently.
"The Qiankun Group is indeed meticulous."
The Wild Fox Ancestor sighed in admiration, and a huge weight was lifted from his heart.
…
In Peidu, it had been half a month since Gu Chen returned.
During this time, he had been paying attention to the news of the various countries and the Rising Sun Region. But aside from the commotion caused by the new emperor's succession, the whole of Great Cheng was unexpectedly calm.
As for the Flaming Sun Crown Prince, it was as if he had completely vanished from the face of the earth. Neither the Pei Nation's imperial court nor the Modest Pavilion's news network had received any news about him.
