The moment this thought entered his mind, Emperor Yan felt a chill run through his entire body.
If Zhou Cheng really didn't bring any supplies back to Jiangling City, then what happened to those things? Where did the treasuries and vaults of all eight cities go?
Where can you go in such a short time?
besides--
As early as half a month ago, Commander Zhang from the border wrote a letter saying that Zhou Zhenguang and others were in dire straits, with no food and no winter supplies.
So much time has passed, why is there still no news?
Shouldn't they have starved to death long ago under normal circumstances?
"Will the army's commander-in-chief win this battle on the border...?"
"Could it be that I unintentionally made an irreversible decision...?"
"No, no, nothing has been settled yet. It's all just my speculation. How could such a bizarre thing happen in this world? The court will win."
Now that things have come to this, Emperor Yan can only comfort himself again and again.
Those bizarre details were all just coincidences.
During this court assembly, all the ministers felt the oppressive feeling of an impending storm. Zhou Cheng, who was originally willing to do anything for Lin Jiaoyun, was completely out of the ministers' understanding and control.
The playboy who was once looked down upon by everyone seems to be getting more and more profound!
After returning to his palace, the crown prince was unable to quell his anger for a long time.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
He flew into a rage and overturned the desk!
"We didn't catch him, we didn't!"
"Are all those 100,000 elite troops from the eight cities just sitting around doing nothing? They couldn't even keep up with Zhou Cheng's pace! Zhou Cheng! Why do you insist on opposing me and trying to steal my people!"
"Where did those weapons come from? Why can't we find even a trace of them?"
The usually gentle and refined crown prince revealed his true colors after a series of setbacks.
With a gloomy face, he swept all the utensils off the table, and even after such a tirade, he still couldn't quell his resentment and anger.
Ever since Zhou Cheng and Cheng Xianyi got engaged!
What followed was completely out of his control. Whether it was asking his elder sister for help to separate the two, forcibly keeping Cheng Xianyi by his side, or repeatedly launching attacks...
Seeing that Zhou Cheng was becoming more and more difficult to deal with, and even threatening the situation of Yan Kingdom!
If we can't think of a solution, are we really going to just stand by and watch Zhou Cheng breach the border and head straight for the capital?
At this time,
A nervous servant entered carrying a secret letter: "Your Highness, the Nanyue Academy has sent you a letter."
Nanyue?
Nanyue Academy is located in the very center of the Central Plains region.
The teachers inside are highly respected figures throughout the Central Plains. It is the pinnacle of martial arts and Confucianism. Those who can enter the academy are all the chosen ones of heaven, with extraordinary talents!
The third young lady of the Zhou family, Zhou Cheng's third sister Zhou Qianyan, studied at Nanyue Academy.
Suppressing his helplessness and anger, the Crown Prince immediately took the secret letter and read it. In just a few seconds, his expression changed repeatedly: "Xia Lin'er, the daughter of the Prefect of Wangcheng, is dead?"
"Died at the hands of Cheng Gui Pavilion?"
"The Marquis of Pingyang also fell into the hands of Cheng Guige, and was then handed over to Zhou Cheng, ending up with a death without a complete corpse?"
"Has the person in charge of Cheng Gui Pavilion gone mad? How could they possibly be showing goodwill to the Zhou family? They even helped Zhou Cheng solve such a huge problem. I had previously extended an olive branch to Cheng Gui Pavilion, but the response I received was always that they would not get involved in external disputes!"
"This is what Cheng Gui Pavilion meant by not participating?!"
