Peng Erlang shook his head; naturally, he didn't have any.
Peng Erlang possessed Peng Ze's composure and Peng Silang's quick wit. Knowing that the emperor was curious about the Goddess Kingdom, he suggested, "My lord, why don't we go for a stroll in the Huncheng outside the west city? It's already been built, and Lord Gu is organizing the information on the residences there. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, people from other countries will be able to move in. You can go and take a look first."
The emperor's eyes lit up. "Oh right, there's this place too."
He suddenly lost his curiosity about the Goddess Kingdom and wanted to go see the Chaos City.
Peng Erlang took the emperor with him.
...
The emperor spent the afternoon in the city and didn't get home until evening.
He asked Gu Shouxin about which country's residents were the most numerous in Huncheng.
Currently, the most people buying houses are from the Goddess Kingdom and the Jinan Kingdom. Now, Jinan is no longer a kingdom, but a continent. Gu Shouxin is also willing to let people buy the second batch of houses under construction in Kunzhou. Some people from Jinan Prefecture choose to wait for the second batch, while others still choose to go to Huncheng.
The fewest people buy houses in Languedoc.
The emperor then asked, "Do many people from Langge Kingdom usually come to Kuncheng to trade?"
Gu Shouxin shook his head: "According to the statistics of the entry data I obtained from the West Gate, the number of people from Langge Kingdom coming to Kuncheng is the smallest. They usually bring fruits and vegetables to Kuncheng to sell. After the bumper harvest of fruits and vegetables in Chunnan City, the business from Langge Kingdom has been resisted to some extent, but they still come over."
The emperor patted his folding fan in his palm: "Second Prince Gu, don't you feel that something is amiss with Lange Kingdom? Have they tried to send someone to approach you?"
Gu Shouxin: "No. Because of my appointment as the county magistrate, I have been intentionally going to the areas where they can operate, but no one from Langge Kingdom has approached me. However, I also feel that Langge Kingdom is the most suspicious. I have a feeling that the power of King Qu has not completely disappeared."
Although Gu Shouxin often complained that the emperor was unreliable, he had to admit that the emperor was quite perceptive and a good emperor who was responsible for the Great Zhou. If he hadn't been so playful, the Great Zhou might have been even better.
The Emperor rubbed his forehead and asked, "Second Brother Gu, I just saw it too. The people of Langge really look alike. If we, the people of Great Zhou, infiltrate, we won't be as easily detected as if we were infiltrating the Sand God Kingdom or the Izumo Kingdom. What do you think? Should we send someone in to infiltrate and find out what's going on in Langge?"
Gu Shouxin frowned: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask a question. Why hasn't Your Majesty ordered the Peng family to attack Langge Kingdom all these years? Are they more powerful and wealthy than Shashen Kingdom and Chuyun Kingdom?"
The Emperor looked around and said, “You are a civil official, so you may not know about this. To the west of Langge, there are many other countries. The Great Zhou Dynasty has been established for decades, and Langge has been a nation for decades. During these decades, the two countries have not communicated outside of the trading zone of Kuncheng. The trading zone has only been established in recent years. Therefore, we cannot be sure whether they have allied with those countries west of Langge. To attack rashly might be like lambs to the slaughter. The Peng family army has guarded Kunzhou for so many years, cultivating so many fine sons for the Great Zhou. I cannot bear to see them go to their deaths. Therefore, I want to send someone in to infiltrate and find out whether they have allied with the countries west of Langge, and if so, how many troops they have. I also want to know whether the ambitious ruler of Langge will unite with those forces to launch a counterattack. I have sent people before, but none of them have returned, and we have even lost contact with them.”
