Chapter 1942

Beijing, inside the palace.

There was a sentry every three steps and a sentry every five.

Under the dim light, Crow Huan flipped through the military intelligence in front of him with a gloomy expression.

On the bed not far behind him, the six-year-old little grandson, the current Emperor Li Hui, was sleeping soundly, having a sweet dream.

Ever since the old Emperor Sheng passed away, the situation of the seven countries had become extremely tense. Crow Huan had practically never left his little grandson's side.

He had always remembered the old chief's instructions. Just like the old chief back then, he had conscientiously and conscientiously protected the Emperor of Great Cheng. Even though the Emperor was young and ignorant, he had never complained.

Actually, not much time had passed since the Burning Sun Clan's ancestral land collapsed. However, Crow Huan had matured a lot in this short period of time.

He had no choice. He was no longer the high-spirited young chief of the Golden Crow Clan. Now, everything he did and every step he took, he had to consider many things. The responsibility on his shoulders was unprecedentedly heavy.

The Sheng Yang Region was surrounded by the allied forces of the seven countries. Not long after the news of the Flaming Sun Crown Prince's death reached Beijing, he didn't even have time to celebrate.

After the Flaming Sun Crown Prince left, the ambitious Prince Pei, Liu Yan, arrived. Furthermore, the situation this time was worse than ever.

Crow Huan had always known who was behind the Flaming Sun Crown Prince and how powerful he was.

Because of this, when he smelled the scent of the Flaming Sun Crown Prince's suicide, a chill ran up his spine from the soles of his feet.

Qiankun Group had lost!

After investing a large amount of manpower and resources for the Flaming Sun Crown Prince, Qiankun Group suddenly admitted defeat before they even had the chance to fight Pei Guo!

The Moon Prince was dead. The Flaming Sun Crown Prince was also dead. Pei Guo's takeover of Yue Country was unexpectedly fast. Qiankun Group actually didn't retaliate at all.

All of this was clearly telling him that either Pei Guo was unbelievably strong or Qiankun Group had chosen to cooperate with Pei Guo.

Regardless of which possibility it was, it was extremely disadvantageous for Beijing!

Crow Huan was extremely vexed. If the Flaming Sun Crown Prince and Pei Guo could fight for a few more rounds, it would be best if both sides suffered heavy losses. Then, Beijing would be saved.

However, the enemy did not give him a chance to catch his breath. They used the fastest speed to unify the seven countries and used the fastest speed to point their spears at the Rising Sun Realm.

The current Emperor of Beijing was still young and the court was like a plate of loose sand. With internal and external problems, he felt mentally and physically exhausted.

Flop.

A Crow General suddenly landed at the window and retracted its wings. Its expression was one of nervousness, as if it wanted to say something.

"Did another family run away?"

Crow Huan didn't even raise his head, pretending to be calm.

Over the past few days, many important officials and aristocratic families in Beijing had been assassinated, causing the people to be on tenterhooks.

When the assassination first occurred, he immediately strengthened the patrolling of the Raven Army throughout the city, vowing to find the person who was secretly playing tricks.

He originally thought that with the Crow Army's years of experience in Beijing, he would be able to easily control the situation. Who would have thought, the assassins were much more powerful than he imagined.

Those killers simply came and went without a trace. So far, they had not been able to catch a single one of them. They were like ghosts.

With the situation unable to be effectively controlled, Sheng Capital naturally fell into chaos. Some aristocratic families felt that the city was no longer safe, so they found all sorts of excuses to leave the city.

The borders of Rising Sun had already been sealed by the armies of the seven countries. If these people left the city, where could they go?

The so-called aristocratic families often had inextricably linked interests with the various countries within the borders of the empire. Under such circumstances, it was easy to imagine what they would choose.

Crow Huan had thought of stopping them and forcefully keeping them within the city. If the day came that the city was besieged, they would still be a strong military force.

However, even though he was mentally prepared to give his all for the Blazing Sun Clan, the Blazing Sun Clan did not feel the same way.

The Golden Crow Clan was very simple. They had followed the Blazing Sun Clan for generations. Even if the Blazing Sun Clan was at the end of the road, they would not betray them.

The Blazing Sun Clan, on the other hand, was much more complicated. Not counting the dead Flaming Sun Crown Prince, there were still many factions within the Blazing Sun Clan. Many members of the royal family schemed against each other for their own interests.

Before the Flaming Sun Crown Prince died, there were already people within the Blazing Sun Clan who spoke on his behalf. They wanted to depose the little grandson and bring back the Crown Prince. Now that the city was in a mess, there were also people who colluded with the aristocratic families and the officials of the imperial court. Some fled, some tried to surrender. Damn it!

"King Ming has left the city with a group of people. He said he was going to the frontlines to pay off the troops," Crow General said carefully.

Crack!

The brush in Crow Huan's hand immediately broke. His face flushed red.

King Ming was the nephew of the old Emperor Sheng. The fact that he was given the throne showed how much he was doted on.

However, when the empire was on the brink of destruction, he did not stay in the city to appease the people. Instead, he ran away with a group of people. What did this mean?

"Pay off the troops? Is he paying off the troops of Great Cheng?! "

Crow Huan resisted the urge to slam the table. He did not dare to wake the little grandson behind him. He suppressed his anger and said angrily.

With King Ming's departure, the morale of the people in the capital would be even lower. The people in the imperial court who wanted to surrender would definitely become even more rampant!

"You may leave."

Crow Huan waved his hand. After his subordinates left, he leaned weakly against the back of his chair. His eyes were filled with confusion.

He had the heart to kill the enemy, but he was powerless to do so!

Even if the 655,555 Crow General still had the battle power, under the despicable actions of the enemy, they had already lost half the battle!

"Even the Blazing Sun Clan has given up on their empire. Brother Crow Huan, why are you still so stubborn?"

A calm voice suddenly rang out from within the room, causing Crow Huan to break out in cold sweat. He immediately jumped up from his chair!

"It's you!"

He turned around and saw a black-haired, black-eyed human youth with a cross tattoo on his forehead sitting next to the little grandson's bed. Crow Huan couldn't help but tense up as if he was facing a great enemy!

Chen Yi!

He had long known that this ally of Wu Lie wasn't simple. However, he never expected that he would be able to command the armies of the seven countries and even force Qiankun Association to retreat!

This true mastermind behind the scenes of Pei State was actually bold enough to sneak into Great Cheng's palace alone. This was even more out of his expectations!

The little grandson was only a few feet away from him. Crow Huan had been on guard day and night, but he never expected that someone would still be able to sneak in!

Crow Huan had the urge to rush forward. However, the moment he moved, he was warned by Gu Chen.

"If you want him to be safe, then be more obedient. I came here today to have a good talk with you."

Chen Xi's casual tone killed Crow Huan's impulse, and he took a deep breath and said, "You're using the life of a six year old child to threaten me. Chen Yi, you really are capable!"

Gu Chen was expressionless as he glanced at the little grandson who was sleeping and said, "It's true that he's a child, but he's also the emperor of Great Cheng. Since he's in this position, whether he's willing or not, there are many responsibilities that he has to bear. "
