Cheng Yu was thinking of contacting the White Sun Outer Dynasty and a few other Outer Princes to understand the recent movements of the dynasty and see if he could get any useful information.
But at this moment, a familiar response came from the communication jade slip he was carrying.
Cheng Yu took out the communication jade slip and took a look. It was from the White Sun Outer Prince.
"Such a coincidence?" Cheng Yu was stunned.
However, he still quickly checked the message from the jade slip and immediately frowned.
This news was sent by the White Sun Outer Prince and the surrounding Outer Princes.
The jade slip said: The inner court suddenly sent a message, requesting all the Outer Princes and at least five elders to immediately head to the inner court.
The few Outer Princes felt that this matter was not simple because now was not the time for the inner court's competition, nor was it the time for the outer court to pay tribute to the inner court.
This news from the inner court was obviously a bit abrupt, and it revealed a lot of unusual information.
If something big really happened in the inner court, then the inner court only needed to request the Outer Princes to go.
But this time, they actually requested for at least five elders to go with them. This was very strange.
One had to know that even during the inner court's competition, the inner court did not require them to bring a few elders.
But now, they clearly requested for all the outer court to bring five elders. This obviously had a deeper meaning.
Logically speaking, if the inner court had any important news to understand, just one Outer Prince would be enough. Why did they need to bring so many people? Moreover, there was a limit to the number of people. This was indeed too strange.
More importantly, every outer court's elders were also limited. Generally speaking, there would not be more than ten, and most of them would only have seven or eight.
In this case, the inner court required each Outer Prince to bring at least five elders. This meant that there might not be enough people in charge of the outer court. Some of the outer courts might even be in a state of emptiness.
If someone took advantage of this, wouldn't the entire outer court be easily destroyed?
With these worries, the White Sun Outer Prince and the other Outer Princes gathered together and agreed to pass this news to Cheng Yu.
Looking at this news, Cheng Yu immediately fell into deep thought.
"Cheng Yu, what happened?" Seeing Cheng Yu's serious expression, the women immediately became curious.
They all knew that Cheng Yu was currently communicating with a lot of people through jade slips. Furthermore, these people were all very important informants.
It was precisely because of this that the information Cheng Yu received from the jade slip was definitely very important.
What's more, after receiving the news, Cheng Yu's expression had changed greatly. Furthermore, it could be seen that the news wasn't any good news.
"This is the news that the White Sun Outer Dynasty and a few other Outer Princes sent over. It mentioned that the Inner Dynasty has sent over a message, requesting them to bring at least five elders to the Inner Dynasty immediately." Cheng Yu said simply.
"Immediately? Could it be that the news of them defecting to us has really been leaked? "Yang Ruoxue was puzzled.
I can't be sure right now, because the inner court isn't asking for these few outer courts, but all the outer court's outer kings and elders Cheng Yu shook his head and said.
"All the foreign kings and elders? Did something happen in the imperial court? "The women were stunned.
"Since such news came from the inner court, something must have happened. As for what it is, I'm afraid it's very difficult for us to know. At the very least, we'll have to wait until they go to the inner court to find out Cheng Yu said.
"But you just said that they have to bring at least five elders with them. What do you mean by that? If they bring so many elders, doesn't that mean that there's basically no one in charge in the outer court? "Xin Yao thought for a moment and said with a puzzled expression.
"This is indeed a very puzzling place. The outer court is the hands and feet of the inner court. The inner court's request obviously has the intention of weakening the outer court. Isn't this cutting off their own hands and feet?
If there really is a power scheming against these outer courts, wouldn't it be easy to attack these outer courts if they found out about this news? It's really too strange for the inner court to do this Yao Na also analyzed.
I suspect that the inner court is just doing this as a trap Cheng Yu said.
A trap? What trap? The few of them asked curiously.
"I can think of two possibilities. One is, could they be doing this to lure our Cheng family out?" Cheng Yu said.
"I don't think it's impossible. However, I think that if they really want you to appear, I think their inner court will take the initiative to spread the news of the emptiness of the outer court." Xin Yao said.
"Don't tell me they aren't afraid that they'll really hand over these foreign dynasties? What if they want to take it back, but they find that they can't? "Lin Yuhan said.
"There are so many outer courts in the world. The inner court knows that our strength hasn't grown to the point where we can swallow all of the outer courts. Therefore, they have enough confidence that as long as they can lure us out, they will release the outer kings and elders.
With a large number of foreign dynasties surrounding us, we can easily take them back! "Xin Yao explained.
"Senior Sister is right. If the inner court really wants to use this method to lure us out, it's very possible." Cheng Yu nodded and said.
"However, they are underestimating us too much. If they really have such a plan, then as long as we don't do anything, it'll be fine." Lan Ya said.
"So I suspect that there's a second possibility Cheng Yu nodded again.
"Then what do you think the second possibility is?" Yang Ruoxue asked.
"Maybe they don't want to lure us, but the White Sun King and the others." Cheng Yu said after some thought.
"White Sun King and the others? Why is that? "Han Xue was stunned.
"What Cheng Yu means is that they might have already discovered that the White Sun King and the others have betrayed the inner court. All of them have summoned all the outer kings and elders back to the inner court with such great fanfare. It's just a pretense.
The purpose is to prevent the White Sun King and the other outer kings from becoming suspicious, to the point of forcing the outer court to openly betray them. In the end, they can easily take down these traitors. "Xin Yao explained.
"That's right. Although there aren't many vassal dynasties that have pledged allegiance to us, if so many of them were to openly rebel, especially at a critical time when we are at war with the dynasty, it would have a huge impact on the dynasty.
Therefore, if the dynasty knows that there are already outer dynasties that have betrayed them, they will definitely think of a way to get rid of these traitors before they start a war with us, so as not to stab them in the back when the time comes Cheng Yu said.
"If these outer dynasties have imprisoned the outer kings and more than five elders, then these outer dynasties can be said to be no threat at all. If the inner dynasty wants to take care of these outer dynasties, it would be a piece of cake." Xin Yao analyzed.
"From these two situations, I think the second possibility is higher. After all, we might not fall for their trap in the first situation. Their plan will basically fail." Lan Ya said.
"Maybe these two situations are part of their plan?" Yang Ruoxue said.
"It's not impossible, but there's one thing I'm more worried about Xin Yao said.
"What?" Cheng Yu asked.
"If they already know that Bai Yang and the other outer dynasties have betrayed the inner court, then wouldn't they also know who told them to betray the inner court?
In this way, even if the inner court doesn't know that you are the descendant of the Holy City they are looking for, your actions have obviously touched the interests of the inner court. The inner court will not let you go and will set their sights on our Cheng Family. "Xin Yao said with some worry.
"Senior Sister is right. This is indeed a very serious problem. If this time, the inner court really wants to eliminate the traitors, then I'm afraid we have already entered the inner court's field of vision Yang Ruoxue also became worried.
"Everyone, don't panic. Right now, the matter has not been decided. Everything is still our guess. Perhaps this time, the situation is purely related to the various outer dynasties and does not involve us. "Cheng Yu saw the worried expressions of the women and couldn't help but quickly comfort them.
Although he felt that it was definitely not a simple matter for so many outer kings and elders to gather in the inner court, it was indeed a bit too early to say these things.
"What did Bai Yang and the others say? Do you want to go to the inner court? "Xin Yao asked.
"They are also very hesitant, worried that the inner court might harm them. It's just that this time, the inner court has gathered all the outer kings. If they don't go, then wouldn't they be confessing without being asked? "Cheng Yu said.
"But if this time, the inner court is really just setting a trap for them, then not only will our identities be exposed, we will also lose many powerful allies Lin Yuhan said.
"But the inner court is far away from our Cheng Family, and that is the center of their dynasty. Even if we want to help them, it is impossible Xin Yao said.
"It seems that the relationship between us and the dynasty is changing faster than we thought. We must be prepared to go to war at any time." Cheng Yu said in a deep voice.
Originally, he wanted to wait until at least one of the Cheng Family disciples awakened the Sacred Emperor's Heart Sutra before directly clashing with the dynasty.
But now, all kinds of sudden situations made him feel that the dynasty was getting closer and closer to their Cheng Family.
At least he felt that the dynasty would not give him that much time.
"Cheng Yu, if we start a war with the dynasty, will we really die?" Yao Na looked at Cheng Yu and asked.
The women also looked at Cheng Yu reluctantly. Their good times were too short. They still wanted to live happily with Cheng Yu and didn't want to die so quickly.
