"Everything is normal in Yan Kingdom and Yue Kingdom, and there is no news of Prince Yanyang's appearance."
"The new emperor in Shengjing has ascended the throne and ordered all countries to send envoys to pay an audience."
"There were also letters from Zeguo and Languo, discussing the matter of the audience, and stated that they would advance and retreat together with Peiguo on this matter."
Tang Xuance stood below, summarizing the intelligence from the Seven Kingdoms and Shengyang Realm, and reported them to Gu Chen and King Pei one by one.
After listening, Gu Chen just closed his eyes, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and thought.
It had been seven days since he returned to Peidu. Such a long time was enough for the matter of Shengjing Zhongsheng to fully ferment within the imperial court.
In Shengjing, he had expected the succession of the young emperor's grandson, but Prince Yanyang had not been seen for a long time, which made him a little confused.
"Prince Yanyang has been interested in the throne for a long time. According to common sense, if he escapes from the capital, he cannot be indifferent to the announcement from the capital. Therefore, Wei Chen feels that Prince Yanyang is likely to have died in Lieyang.
In the ancestral land of the clan.”
"The same is true from the information coming from Shengjing. On that day, the Lieyang Clan's ancestral land collapsed and Shengjing was completely sealed off. If Prince Yanyang escaped, it is unlikely that no one would find him."
Tang Xuance expressed his analysis, Liu Yan nodded frequently, but Gu Chen did not express his opinion.
Judging from the information that has been obtained, what Tang Xuance said is indeed very likely, but Gu Chen always feels that Prince Yanyang is not that short-lived.
He opened his eyes while thinking and looked at Ye Mi in the field. "Miss Ye, what do you think? Does Wuwang Pavilion have any information about Prince Yanyang?"
Ye Mi and Tang Xuance stood almost side by side. One of them controlled the intelligence agency of the Pei Kingdom, and the other had the channels of Wuwang Pavilion, which was equivalent to Gu Chen's two eyes.
Ye Mi seemed to be a little distracted. He came back to his senses after hearing Gu Chen's words, looking slightly flustered.
"Wuwang Pavilion has not received any news related to Prince Yanyang. As for whether Prince Yanyang is alive or dead, I dare not make a conclusion easily."
She said, but what she thought of was the scene when Prince Yanyang left.
At that time, Prince Yanyang had clearly told his adoptive father that he planned to go to Yan State. If he really showed up in Yan State, how could there be no news about him in Yan State?
This made her a little uneasy, so much so that she became distracted when she heard that there was no news from Tang Xuance. She even felt a little guilty when she heard Gu Chen's question.
Gu Chen saw Ye Mi's absent-mindedness and was a little surprised, but he didn't doubt what she said.
In the past few days, he has personally been in and out of Wuwang Pavilion's Shenyou Realm several times. Regarding such important information about the whereabouts of Prince Yanyang, he will not completely rely on Ye Mi's information. He must not only accept it from multiple sources, but also inquire about it himself.
He is now well-paid in Wuwang Pavilion, and he has access to most of the information that Ye Mi has access to, so he knows that she is right, Wuwang Pavilion does not know the whereabouts of Prince Yanyang.
The intelligence from the two forces showed the same result, indicating that Prince Yanyang may indeed be dead. Even if he is not dead, he probably escaped from the Dasheng Dynasty.
"Continue to pay close attention to all aspects of intelligence and notify me of any news as soon as possible."
Gu Chen felt a little uneasy, but he could only give instructions, then stood up and left the hall.
…
Peiguo, Hexing County, Wanglou Ancient City.
Hexing County was originally the territory of the Lan State, but was annexed by the Pei State during a war between the Pei State and the Lan State and became a county under its banner.
The ancient city of Wanglou is located on the border of the county, and the other side belongs to Changkui County, which was annexed by Ze State.
The two countries demarcated the border here and divided the world of Lan Kingdom, and they have always lived in harmony.
Tonight, on the tower of Wanglou Ancient City, the Pei soldiers on patrol had just changed their shift and looked drowsy.
Peiguo and Zeguo have always been on the same side, and there is no war on the border. The patrols are mostly for refugees who cross the border illegally. The threat is extremely low, so the soldiers' vigilance is also low.
On the watchtower, several soldiers chatted while looking at the dark land in Zeguo in the distance.
There are many deserts in the original Lan Kingdom, so the front is boundless and the sight is very empty.
Long——
Suddenly, there was a shocking abnormal sound ahead, accompanied by the shaking of the earth.
"What happened?"
The chatter of several soldiers stopped, and they looked forward in confusion. In the darkness in the distance, there seemed to be countless black shadows gliding across the ground, quickly approaching the ancient city of Wanglou!
"Not good! There's an enemy attack!"
Several soldiers suddenly came to their senses and immediately wanted to sound the alarm. Unexpectedly, a gray shadow suddenly jumped out of the window!
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and the soldiers' wails rang out one after another. When the sounds stopped, a gray fox opened the door and left with a fierce light in its eyes.
Outside the watchtower, up and down the city tower, only the corpses of Pei soldiers were seen everywhere, while wild foxes roared excitedly and opened the gate of the ancient watchtower city from inside!
Half an hour later.
The city was broken, and fires were burning everywhere in the city. A wild fox with a scar on one eye and a long gray beard hanging on both sides of its pointed mouth stepped into the ancient city of Wanglou accompanied by a giant man with a sinister face.
"It's simply vulnerable." The ancestor of the wild fox shook his head and laughed.
"The Wild Fox Army is unstoppable, and the Pei Kingdom's army is really weak in comparison. According to the original agreement, we still ask our seniors to continue the attack, and we will keep our promises. By then, all the twelve counties of the Lan Kingdom occupied by the Pei Kingdom will belong to the Wild Fox Army.
Fox tribe." Ming Shou said politely.
"Don't worry. It's my honor to serve Mr. Gu. I should do my best."
The ancestor of Ye Fox smiled and asked with twinkling eyes: "But how do you explain to King Lan? I wonder what benefits Qiankun will promise him, and he is willing to give up the land of these twelve counties?"
"Senior, please rest assured on this point. King Lan now relies on the breath of his senior for survival, so how dare he have any unreasonable thoughts?" Ming Shou guessed the thoughts of the ancestor of the wild fox and immediately replied.
"That's true."
The ancestor of the wild fox nodded and said worriedly: "The Pei State Chen Yike is in some trouble. If we can't eradicate him, even if we get the Pei State, we will not be able to live in peace."
"Senior, don't worry, everything has been arranged. There is no chance that Chen Yi will be spared." Ming Shou said firmly.
"Qiankun knows how to do things and it turns out there is no leakage."
When the ancestor of the wild fox saw this, he exclaimed in admiration, and a big stone fell completely from his heart.
…
Peidu, it has been half a month since Gu Chen came back.
In the past half month, he has continued to pay attention to the news from various countries and the Shengyang Realm, but except for some disturbances caused by the new emperor's succession, the entire Dasheng has been unexpectedly calm.
As for Prince Yanyang, he seemed to have completely disappeared from the world. No matter the Pei Kingdom court or the intelligence network of Wuwang Pavilion, they could not get any information about him.
