Chapter 1913

This was not a good thing. If the Flaming Sun Crown Prince was still alive, the Scorching Sun Clan would definitely be embroiled in internal strife. This was his chance.

But, if he died, as long as someone in Beijing made a move and the situation quickly stabilized, Pei Guo's hard-earned opportunity would slip away.

He did not know how long it would take for such an opportunity to come again. It would greatly delay his plans.

Therefore, Gu Chen often looked at the territory map of the Dacheng Dynasty these days, thinking about what to do next.

Should he wait and see, or should he take the initiative?

Just as he was hesitating, a sudden storm caught him off guard!

"The Flaming Sun Crown Prince suddenly appeared in Yue Country. Under the witness of the Moon King and the officials of Yue Country, he held a coronation ceremony and announced that he would succeed as Emperor Sheng!

"On the same day, he issued a declaration to the seven countries, claiming that the new Emperor in Sheng Jin had murdered the old Emperor Sheng and that his name was unjust. He will lead an army to attack and request the seven countries to send troops to save the Emperor!

"Yan Country, Yue Country, Jin Country, Cang Country, and even Ze Country and Mist Country all issued announcements at the same time, acknowledging the Flaming Sun Crown Prince's rightful position and declaring him as the new Emperor!"

Tang Xuance was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He hurried to the Luo River Palace with Liu Yan and handed the documents to Gu Chen.

The incident happened all of a sudden. Earlier intelligence reports indicated that the various countries were very calm and nothing unusual had happened. Who would have thought that during the morning assembly, the incident would blow up in one go. Hundreds of officials presented the documents of the various countries one after another, causing everyone to panic!

Gu Chen took the Flaming Sun Crown Prince's declaration and the documents from the various countries from Tang Xuance. After reading them carefully, his expression turned dark.

It was obvious that the Flaming Sun Crown Prince's declaration and the documents from the various countries were sent out at the same time. This meant that the various countries had already agreed on this beforehand!

The Flaming Sun Crown Prince had quietly settled the various countries and obtained the unanimous support of the various countries. He had easily taken over the position of Emperor Sheng. This kind of swift and decisive action was completely different from the impression he had of the Flaming Sun Crown Prince!

Even though the Scorching Sun Tribe and the Golden Crow Tribe supported the little Emperor, as long as the seven countries did not recognize him, the little Emperor could not truly become the Emperor of Da Cheng.

However, the Flaming Sun Crown Prince was different. He had obtained the recognition of the six major countries. As long as the Pei Kingdom also recognized him, he would be the actual Emperor!

As for the little grandson, he was charged with the murder of the old Emperor Sheng. If the Seven Kingdoms were to send troops against him, the consequences would be dire!

"Forget about the Four Kingdoms, they had already pledged their allegiance to the Flaming Sun Crown Prince. But what about the Ze Kingdom and the Mist Kingdom? They didn't inform us beforehand. "

Gu Chen felt that he had been tricked. His eyes turned cold. A few days ago, the Ze Kingdom and the Mist Kingdom had told him that they would stand by the Pei Kingdom's side. He didn't expect them to go back on their word!

Forget about the Mist Kingdom. They were originally struggling to survive in the cracks, but the Ze Kingdom and the Pei Kingdom had always been allies. Last time, when they attacked the Mist Kingdom, he had even given them great benefits. He didn't expect that they wouldn't even inform him about such a major matter!

Gu Chen sensed that something was amiss. That Old Ancestor Wild Fox was a wily old fox. There must be a reason for him to suddenly offend Gu Chen.

"This is bad! This is bad! "

While everyone was discussing, a soldier of the Water Dance Army hurried over and presented a military report.

"The Watchtower Ancient City has been breached, and the Ze Nation has invaded the borders of our Pei Nation, marching straight in!"

"The entire Hexing County has fallen, requesting the Imperial Court to send reinforcements!"

"The Mist Nation attacked the borders of our Pei Nation at night, causing many casualties in our army!"

"The Flare Nation's army has gathered, and there are signs of attacking our borders. The Imperial Court hopes that they will take this seriously!"

Lines of shocking intelligence came into view, causing Tang Xuance's expression to change drastically, and Liu Yan's face to turn pale. After reading it, Gu Chen immediately walked to the territory map of Great Cheng!

Before the annexation of the Mist Kingdom's twelve counties, the only countries bordering the Pei Nation were the Mist Kingdom and the Ze Nation.

But after annexing the Mist Kingdom, the border between the Pei Nation and the Ze Nation had a large area, and at the same time, the Flare Nation was added as a neighbor.

According to the military report, the three countries were surrounding the Pei Nation from three directions, and one side of the Pei Nation was connected to the Ze Nation. This side was closer to the center of the Pei Nation, so if the Ze Nation really wanted to attack the Pei Nation, they would definitely not give up on this side!

This meant that in a single night, the Pei Nation had been encircled by the three countries from four directions. This was an attack that would destroy the nation!

Gu Chen understood the situation and immediately took the military report to read it carefully. He found that the military reports from the frontlines were obviously a few days late, and the news didn't reach the Pei Nation as soon as possible. He didn't know if the situation had gotten worse!

"Why is the military's information so late? Lord Tang, this is no small matter! "

The usually gentle Liu Yan was furious. So many changes had happened in a single night, which meant that the Pei Nation's intelligence network had a serious problem!

Gu Chen didn't blame Tang Xuance. The series of movements from the six countries was obviously premeditated. Not only was there a problem with the Pei Nation's intelligence network, but even the Honest Pavilion hadn't been able to provide him with any information.

"The mobilization of troops caused such a huge commotion, and it affected the entire six countries. How could the Honest Pavilion's power not detect it at all?"

"Although the Pei Nation's intelligence network isn't as good as the Honest Pavilion's, it shouldn't be this bad. So many pieces of information have only popped up now. It's obvious that they're being controlled."

Gu Chen murmured to himself. He realized that there was an invisible hand behind all this. This hand had blinded his eyes, causing him to be completely unaware of the movements from the six countries. Now, he was passively being beaten up!

He suddenly thought of Ye Mi and turned to look at the Clay Bodhisattva. "Where's Miss Ye? Call her over! "

The Clay Bodhisattva had just witnessed the whole thing and realized the importance of this matter. He couldn't help but nod and immediately went to look for Ye Mi.

Just as he stepped out of the door, he stepped back.

This was because two figures walked in one after the other!

The one walking at the back was Ye Mi. At the moment, her expression was uncertain, and there was unease in her eyes.

And the one walking in front with a majestic gait was the Pavilion Master of the Honest Pavilion, Ye Wunian. No one knew when he had arrived in the Pei Nation!

When Gu Chen saw Ye Wunian, his pupils suddenly contracted.

In an instant, he thought of many possibilities!

Ye Wunian walked into the hall unhurriedly. He glanced at the documents piled up on the table and said indifferently, "Chen Yi, can I have a private chat with you?"

Gu Chen looked at him quietly. Then, he waved his hand and asked Liu Yan, Tang Xuance, and the others to leave for the moment.

Although they were worried about national affairs, they could also tell that this strange middle-aged man who had suddenly appeared was not simple. So, they all left as instructed.

The Clay Bodhisattva was the last to walk out. He happened to see the Unbounded Tyrant Dragon walking over from the courtyard, his eyes indifferent and emotionless. He only stopped near the door.

"Protect King Pei."

As he passed by, the Unbounded Tyrant Dragon instructed the Clay Bodhisattva.

The Clay Bodhisattva's heart skipped a beat. Knowing that something big could happen at any time, he nodded solemnly.
