"Say that again!" The teacup in Emperor Xuanyuan's hands almost fell to the ground from the shock.
The Prime Minister Changsun cupped his hands, his expression showing concern and anxiety. "The princess of Chu Country was assassinated in the Heavenly Sacred Region, both his escorting army and the Heavenly Saint's protecting army have disappeared. Your Majesty, if the Chu Country were to investigate further, I am afraid that there would be no escape from this battle between the Heavenly Sage and the Chu Country. "
The Heavenly Saint and the Chu Country were originally two great nations, they only left each other with the appearance of peace. If Gongsun Yan was assassinated in the Heavenly Saint's territory and disappeared, the Chu Country would not even know what she would do to take revenge on the Heavenly Saint.
Even if the Chu Country did not have the heart to take revenge on the Heavenly Saint, how could the king of the Chu Country let go of such a rare opportunity to add insult to injury?
"Send people to investigate!" He had to find out who was behind this. There's still the need to find the Chu Country Princess as soon as possible. If you can't find his, you don't need to come back! " Emperor Xuanyuan slammed the teacup in his hand onto the table in the royal study.
Prime Minister Changsun was shocked, he received the orders from Emperor Xuanyuan and immediately sent people to investigate.
Emperor Xuanyuan rubbed his aching forehead as he watched Prime Minister Changsun leave in a hurry.
In recent days, more and more trouble had arisen, and they didn't know what the Chu Country wanted to do by sending Gongsun Yan to the Heavenly Saint Realm.
Queen Zhangsun watched Emperor Xuanyuan stay in the royal study for a long time, then she ordered the people in the royal study to prepare the ingredients and personally cook a pot of soup for him.
Just as he crossed the threshold, he heard waves of sighs coming from inside.
"Did you encounter any trouble?" Queen Zhangsun placed the soup on the table and asked in concern.
"Mm, it's not really a worry. It's just that Princess Gongsun Yan of the Chu Country was robbed within the borders of the Heavenly Sacred Region and was kidnapped by someone.
Just as he finished speaking, there was another long sigh.
The Queen Zhangsun frowned and scooped up a bowl of soup, then said softly: "The Chu Country and the Heavenly Saint are currently in a battle, what is the purpose of sending the Heavenly Saint to the Princess Gongsun? I'm afraid they did not come with good intentions. "
After drinking the love soup made by the Queen Zhangsun, he rubbed his slightly swollen forehead and said: "A few days ago, I received a letter from the king of the Chu Country, stating her intention of marrying with the Heavenly Saint, and the princess who was born with the marriage was the princess of the Chu Country, An Guo Gongsun Yan."
"Although I despise this method of marriage, it is still the best method to solve the war crisis between the Heavenly Sage and the Chu Country. It is just that I do not know who the person to be the Sovereign King of the Chu Country is. Who was the person the princess of An Guo wanted? I'm afraid they are not greedy enough to swallow the elephant. "
Who knew what the hell was going on in the Chu Country's mind?
The sky darkened as night fell.
In the Crown Prince's camp outside the main city of Jiang Prefecture. The flickering lights cast shadows on the figures within the tent.
"Your Highness, the princess, she …" "She …" An Muxi reported to Gongsun Heng with the latest news from the Heavenly Saint Realm. Speaking of the content of the victory report, An Muxi was stuttering, he did not know how to report it to Gongsun Heng.
"Hmm?" Gongsun Heng had not put down the military strategy book yet, so he turned the page and continued to read, "Why are you stuttering?"
An Muxi carefully glanced at Gongsun Heng, and then said in a low voice: "The princess was ambushed at the Sky Saint Realm. Not only us, the people sent by the Heavenly Saint Realm to protect the princess are also gone."
"Your Highness, I suspect that there is some trickery involved. The princess led a large group of people and started her journey from Chu Country to the Heavenly Sage. Now that she had lost her presence in the Heavenly Sage Realm, there were probably people who wanted to harm her highness. I suspect that it's the Heavenly Saint, they didn't even plan to get married with the Chu Country, that's why they came up with such a method. "
"Such a flawed scheme is not like the plans of the Heavenly Sage. I can't tell who kidnapped Yan'Er at the moment." Gongsun Heng rejected An Muxi's suggestion, he felt that Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong were not capable of doing such a foolish thing, they might have someone backing them.
No matter what, the Chu Country would definitely seek responsibility from the Heavenly Sage. If the Heavenly Sage were to carry this blame, then within a hundred years, the relationship between the Heavenly Sage and the Chu Country would not rest until one of them dies.
The person who could enjoy the benefits of the game the most.
It was Mo Yun!
He was too careless.
Pursing his lips, he instructed the black hawk, "Black Hawk, immediately bring the two scouts to the place where the princess of the Heavenly Saint Realm has disappeared. Investigate clearly who did this."
"If you can't find any evidence, you can do it if necessary."
Just as he finished speaking, a shadow flashed past.
An Muxi looked at the black hawk's leaving figure and then looked at Gongsun Heng's slightly cold face. His eyes were always ice-cold, but there was a hint of anger after the coldness.
Could it be that the Crown Prince had already guessed the culprit who kidnapped the princess?
An Muxi thought.
Hearing that Gongsun Heng had instructed him to grind the ink, An Muxi immediately stopped his guesses and focused on grinding the ink for Gongsun Heng.
He saw Gongsun Heng holding a brush, the tip of the brush was stained with ink, writing and drawing on his precious military manual.
An Muxi leaned his head over and asked curiously: "Your Highness, isn't this your favorite military manual? "Normally, it's extremely precious. I can't wait to get injured once or twice a day, so I won't be able to see it get stained with dust. Why are you writing and painting on it now?"
Gongsun Heng did not reply. He continued to draw a line in the Military Strategy Book, and focused a circle on the four words "retreat for the sake of advance".
Only then did he put down the brush, and indifferently glanced at An Muxi, his eyes had complex emotions that An Muxi couldn't understand.
"The terrain of the Jiang Prefecture is easy to defend against, but hard to attack. How do you think we should use our fastest speed to break through the Jiang Prefecture?" Gongsun Heng looked at An Muxi with cold and indifferent eyes, and said indifferently.
Under Gongsun Heng's forceful gaze, An Muxi did not know what to say. It was as if he was intelligent and did not know what to say.
Her eyes also looked back at Gongsun Heng, and after a long time, she unconsciously lowered her eyes and said: "This subject does not know."
Because An Muxi had lowered his head, he did not notice the smile that flashed past Gongsun Heng's eyes, "Although the Jiang Prefecture is easy to defend against, it is not impossible to forcefully attack. "However, considering the situation of Jiang Prefecture being attacked in the past few days, I am not optimistic about it. Therefore, I wanted to use the marriage alliance to probe the Heavenly Sage."
If his guess was not wrong, the general guarding the Jiang Prefecture should not be the same general from before.
The Heavenly Saint probably sent people who were more familiar with the ways of the army over. As for who this person was, he already had a choice in mind.
"Your Highness, why are you belittling yourself? Your Highness is a genius rarely seen in the past hundred years of Chu Country, what problems do you have to be able to make in this world?" An Muxi said with determination in his eyes, causing Gongsun Heng to be slightly dazed.
The corner of Gongsun Heng's mouth curled up slightly, revealing an extremely shallow yet extremely cold curve, "He's also called a genius, and beside him, the only person left standing is the Heavenly Saint, Xuanyuan Chen."
