Xiyuan Palace.
There was a large amount of paper in the hall.
Zhong Shan, Shui Jing, Qian You, Gu Lin, Ah Da, and Ah Er had all just looked through it.
They were all frowning in thought.
"This is the information on all the prisoners and jailers in the imperial prison. There's nothing special about it." Gu Lin frowned.
"That Lu Jianli is very strange. Ah Er, repeat the information on Lu Jianli, "said Princess Qian You.
"Yes, Lu Jiandan, a member of the Great Yu Empire. He lives in the Great Yu Empire's Qili Town. In the past, he had always been a good-for-nothing. Later, he entered Sky City and observed the prosperity of the Great Yu Empire. In a moment of carelessness, he injured the son of two high-ranking officials while trying to save one of them. The injured one harbored a grudge and instigated his father to include Lu Jiandan in Wu Wanli's gang during the investigation of Wu Wanli's crimes. In the prison, Lu Jianli held a grudge against Wu Wanli and often beat him. His methods were so violent that the other prisoners couldn't bear to see him like this. That was until Lu Jianli saved the son of a high official. He wanted to repay him and overturned the case for him. At the same time, he gave him an official position, but he wanted to be a jailer. He has been a jailer ever since, "said Ah Er.
"He often beat Wu Wanli?" Gu Lin frowned.
"Yes. Everyone knows that Wu Wanli's left leg was heavily injured by him," said Ah Er.
"No wonder he kicked Wu Wanli's right leg." Shui Jing waved his fan.
"It can't be on purpose, right? That Lu Jianli was purposely covering for Wu Wanli to prevent the prisoners from beating him. That way, Lu Jianli could 'dominate' him. Even his leg injury might be fake. "
"The chances are very small. Lu Jianli is from the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty. He shouldn't have interacted with Wu Wanli." Shui Jing waved his fan.
"Yes." Princess Qian You nodded.
Zhong Shan also believed Shui Jing's words. The chances were very small. But even so, Zhong Shan wasn't willing to let go of this small chance. Perhaps it would be beneficial to the Daikon State. This was because Zhong Shan really wanted the Daikon State to become stronger. He had to think of a way to clarify things.
Zhong Shan made up his mind, but Qian You and Shui Jing let go of this little doubt. After all, this little doubt was harmless. Firstly, Lu Jian was from the Great Yu Empire, and secondly, there was an explanation for why he had circled around his right leg.
Everyone turned their attention to the information on the other prison guards.
"Princess!" An official's voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Come in!" Princess Qian You frowned.
At this moment, an official quickly walked in with a small purple card in his hand.
"Princess, an official from the Great Guang Imperial Dynasty just sent an invitation," the official said.
"Oh? Where is he? "Princess Qian You gently accepted the invitation.
"He left after delivering the invitation," the official said.
"Did you see it clearly?" Princess Qian You grabbed the invitation and asked again.
"Yes, this official looked carefully. It's one of Crown Prince Hanjue's etiquette officials. There's no mistake about it," the official said.
"You may leave!" Princess Qian You nodded.
"Yes," the official replied at once.
After the official left, Princess Qian You opened the invitation.
Everyone waited quietly while Princess Qian You carefully read it.
"Qian You, Crown Prince Hanjue sent it?" Gu Lin asked.
Princess Qian You passed the invitation to Gu Lin after reading it.
"That's right. Crown Prince Hanjue invited us to Fog Lake to discuss matters between the two empires," Princess Qian You said with a frown.
"Fog Lake?" Shui Jing frowned.
"That's right. Fog Lake is a special area to the southwest of Sky City. Crown Prince Hanjue said that the Great Guang Imperial Emperor had entrusted him with the important matters of the two empires. Thus, he wanted to find a hidden place. Sky City has many spies, so he had to be outside the city. Fog Lake has the best environment. Three days from now, they will have a meeting at Fog Lake."
"Great Guang Imperial Dynasty? Could it be that Crown Prince Hanjue wants to talk to us about dividing the Great Yu Empire? "Shui Jing frowned as he waved his feather fan.
"Then why is it here? Why doesn't the Great Guang Imperial Dynasty send an envoy directly to the Daluo Sky Empire?" Zhong Shan's eyes flashed with a trace of doubt.
"Perhaps the Great Guang Imperial Dynasty sent their troops after the battle with Great Emperor Naran and reached an agreement with us faster. Moreover, sending an envoy to the Daluo Sky Empire would arouse the suspicion of the Great Yu Empire, "Princess Qian You said with a frown.
"Could it be that the other Imperial Dynasties are luring us there, and then …" Zhong Shan said after thinking for a while.
After Zhong Shan finished speaking, everyone's pupils shrank. Luring Princess Qian You there? And then killing Princess Qian You to frame the Great Yu Empire?
Taking a deep breath, Shui Jing said, "It shouldn't be. Fog Lake isn't far from Sky City. The Great Yu Empire must be on guard and patrolling the area around Sky City every day. It would be difficult to set up an ambush. Moreover, to kill us, they would need a large number of experts. Obviously, the Great Yu Empire wouldn't tolerate a large number of experts gathering around Sky City."
"That's right. With Mister Shui Jing, Ah Da, Ah Er, and me, it's basically impossible to kill us unless they set up an ambush early on. However, the people of the Great Yu Empire are patrolling every day. How could they set it up?" Princess Qian You said.
"Then could it be an ambush by the people of the Great Yu Empire?" Zhong Shan said after thinking for a while.
"People of the Great Yu Empire? They do have the ability, but other than Yi Yan, it's impossible for them to have the courage. Moreover, Yi Yan is cautious by nature and has been cautious his entire life. He shouldn't be risking his life in Sky City. "Shui Jing shook his head.
"Then what if?" Zhong Shan's eyes narrowed.
"What if? The chances are too small. It's so small that if two ants were placed at two ends of the Divine Continent, they would meet again. "Shui Jing said after thinking for a while.
Zhong Shan nodded. Clearly, from the rumors he had heard about Yi Yan, this person was extremely cautious. He was cautious in using troops and making laws. He had never made a mistake in his life.
"Why do you always think of the worst? This was clearly sent by Prince Han Jue's ceremonial officer. What other possibilities are there? "Gu Lin said with a frown.
Hearing Gu Lin's words, Zhong Shan and Shui Jing were speechless. This was a matter of life and death. Instead of thinking of the worst possibilities, they only thought of the good ones.
"No matter what, Shui Jing will protect Gu Lin. Ah Da, Ah Er, and I will protect you. Even if there are thousands of soldiers, we can safely retreat. Moreover, this invitation was sent by Prince Han Jue's people. There's no harm in us going, "said Princess Qian You.
"Yes." Everyone nodded.
At the same time, in Sky City. Prince Han Jue's hall.
Prince Han Jue stood in the hall with a frown. He held an invitation in his hand. Beside him stood Mister Zuo and Mister You.
"Princess Qian You is inviting me to meet in Myriad Peach Forest three days from now?" Prince Han Jue frowned.
"Crown prince, could there be a trap?" Mister Zuo frowned.
"No. At the very least, in everyone's eyes, I'm just an ordinary crown prince. No one will target me," said Prince Han Jue.
"Crown prince, I've seen the person who sent the invitation. It's indeed one of Princess Qian You's ceremonial officers," said Mister You.
"It seems Princess Qian You is representing the Daluo Heavenly Empire. After the battle with Nalan Piaoxue, they'll start attacking the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty. At that time, they'll split the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty with my Great Light Imperial Dynasty," said Prince Han Jue with a frown.
"Crown prince, should we agree when the time comes?" Mister Zuo frowned.
"Three days from now, after the meeting in Myriad Peach Forest," said Prince Han Jue.
"Yes." Mister Zuo and Mister You nodded at the same time.
Viceroy Manor.
Yi Yan was sitting in a pavilion in the middle of a pond. He was holding fish food and feeding the ornamental fish. Behind him stood General Tie Xue.
"Tie Xue," said Yi Yan softly.
"This general is present," General Tie Xue immediately replied.
"Both invitations have been sent?" asked Yi Yan indifferently.
"Yes, they've been sent. We've bribed the other side's two etiquette officers. The two etiquette officers went out to deliver the invitations easily, so they naturally agreed. Our people have been following them and watching them deliver the invitations, "said Tie Xue with a smile.
"That's good." Yi Yan revealed a rare smile.
"But will they go?" General Tie Xue frowned.
"They'll definitely go." Yi Yan narrowed his eyes and threw a handful of fish food into the pond.
"Yes," General Tie Xue immediately replied.
"When the time comes, send people to watch the city gates. Princess Qian You will definitely go through the west gate, and Prince Han Jue will definitely go through the south gate. Report to me at any time," said Yi Yan.
"Yes." General Tie Xue was incomparably impressed. He didn't care how Yi Yan had guessed their itinerary.
Three days later, in the morning.
Princess Qian You brought Gu Lin, Zhong Shan, Ah Da, Ah Er, and Mister Shui Jing out of Xiyuan Palace.
"Let's go see Prince Han Jue." Princess Qian You smiled.
"That's right. I wonder what Prince Han Jue will say." Gu Lin smiled.
A white cloud slowly lifted everyone up. Zhong Shan stood behind Princess Qian You with an indifferent expression on his face. However, at this moment, the red luan and pink lotus at the center of Zhong Shan's eyebrows suddenly turned a deep blue color.
This sudden change caused Zhong Shan to be greatly alarmed. Great calamity?
Great calamity? Zhong Shan's eyes widened. His feet were also lifted by the white cloud towards the west gate. Zhong Shan instinctively reached out to stop them. Standing behind Princess Qian You, Zhong Shan's right hand quickly grabbed her shoulder.
"What are you doing?" Gu Lin's eyes suddenly widened.
Only now did Zhong Shan realize that he had lost his composure. He immediately bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Princess. I suddenly thought of something very important and lost my composure."
Although Princess Qian You was standing in front of Zhong Shan, she had immediately noticed when Zhong Shan had extended his hand. She instinctively wanted to dodge, but when she used her divine sense to check, she realized that Zhong Shan was in a daze. She was confused, but Zhong Shan's hand was already on her shoulder.
Princess Qian You frowned. Gu Lin had already shouted.
Everyone's gaze turned to Zhong Shan. Gu Lin's eyes looked like they were about to spit fire. In the past, he had always tolerated Zhong Shan because of his agreement with Princess Qian You. But this servant really had guts.
