The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Chapter 996 The situation is serious, and many countries are colluding

At the command of the Night King, his subordinates who had been prepared left and soon began to act according to his instructions.

Within half a day, the third batch of heavy news began to spread from the center of the capital to the outside. However, under the deliberate control of the Night King, different people received different news.

Like ordinary people, they only know some simple information. But for powerful factions such as famous sects, aristocratic families, royal relatives, etc., the information they know is of course more secret and more important.

This time, the Night King's men also quietly released some key clues.

First, the incident of the annihilation of the group in the deep mountains of Qingchuan Town was exposed. Those golden attics hidden in the curling white mist, and the last stronghold of the death squad hidden in the deep mountains and forests, were all reduced to ruins.

Secondly, all the Nantai death squads were wiped out, and all the strongholds they had built in the past two months were turned into nothingness with the fall of the last attic stronghold.

Thirdly, the leader that was initially searched in Qingshui Town did appear in the last attic stronghold. And that leader was from Nantai, and - it seemed that he had a great connection with Nantai's sixth prince Wan Yansen!

Thirdly, the poison used by the Nantai death squad did come from the unique sect of Nantai, and in addition, there were some minor poisons related to the Western Yi. In other words, the two countries have begun to collude, but the difference is the degree of shallowness and depth.

As the news came out one after another, the people were also worried. A few days ago, they just heard that there were spies from Nantai quietly causing trouble in their country. Everyone in Zhongyue took this matter seriously and became a little wary of this country.

But now that more news has been revealed, they realize that the spy matter is not as simple as it seems. It is not only related to a small country in Nantai, but also to other countries. One is the Western Barbarians they just fought with, and the other is the powerful Eastern Empire.

At the moment, the situation seems to be becoming increasingly serious, and we can no longer discuss these topics with the same relaxed attitude as before.

The atmosphere in Zhongyue became somewhat serious. The importance of the matter had risen to the national level, and everyone's attention was focused on state affairs and people's livelihood.

Inside the palace, the emperor had just learned of the new news outside when he received a letter from King Di, which was delivered by horse and gas.

After the battle with Nether Nine, King Di searched the mountain for two days but found nothing. In the end, he could only write a letter in advance to report the situation so that the emperor in the capital could be informed in time.

It seems that the news sent now is too late. The news that Ye Xiaohan secretly spread has already spread throughout the capital. The purpose of King Di to atone for his crime by reporting the news in time has also failed. He can't beat the Netherworld Nine Layers, can't catch the important assassins, can't find any clues, and now he can't even pass on the news in time.

Fortunately, the emperor had not seen King Di in person yet. Compared with punishing King Di, there were other more important things to do. Therefore, King Di had not yet been vented his dissatisfaction with the emperor.

After the emperor finished his morning court session, he quickly summoned a group of his confidants, of course, Yun Xiang was not among them.

In this letter, King Di reported in detail the situation of the search he and his men had conducted. The content was even more detailed than the news circulating outside, and even the scene of the fight with the Netherworld was written about.

The rumors outside were only about Prince Sen, but in the letter it was actually written that Prince Sen was the leader, and that Prince Sen had been captured by the Ninth Layer of the Netherworld.

When the emperor heard this, he became even more anxious. He could not sit still and his head started to hurt severely due to anger.

"damn it!"

The emperor was so angry that his expression was distorted, and he was helped to sit down by two terrified eunuchs.

He had just sent people a few days ago to search for the whereabouts of Nether Nine, so as to teach him a lesson. But they had not yet found a trace of Nether Nine, and now they learned that this demon had taken such an important person away!

The emperor and his confidants, like Prince Di that day, were extremely panicked.

On the one hand, they hope that they can capture the princes of other countries, and on the other hand, they will have the capital to control the royal families of other countries.

On the other hand, they also did not want Prince Sen to get into trouble within their country, because Zhongyue had just fought a war with the Western Barbarians last year and was always facing the covetous Western Barbarians.

If they offended the southern country now, they would probably face a double threat. In this way, they had no way of guaranteeing whether they were able to fight against two countries at once.

In fact, the emperor and these officials and soldiers themselves have no ability to compete with any empire. Zhongyue has been in a peaceful and stable situation for many years, all thanks to the regent Ye Xiaohan who has made great military achievements.

The emperor and his people began to wonder whether it was better for Prince Sen to be in their hands or not. This was indeed a bit ridiculous because it was only a hypothesis, not a reality.

Daydreaming about unrealistic situations is nothing more than daydreaming.

An emperor is always an emperor, and his years of experience in handling state affairs have also forged a stable mind. The emperor calmed down. Daydreaming is useless, but no matter what, the key point now is to find the person first. As for other choices, he will make them after seeing the person.

The emperor slammed the table and immediately issued the relevant orders.

"Quickly check the whereabouts of Prince Sen."

"Also, Prince Xuan Gu has entered the palace. I have something to ask him."

Wanyan Sen appeared in Zhongyue for the first time, and Emperor Haolian changed the unified name of Wanyan Gu from "Prince Wan" to the specific "Prince Gu".

...

Compared to the solemn atmosphere in the palace, Wei Bo's mansion was peaceful.

Wei Bai was handling affairs in his study room as usual. He was a businessman and usually did business-related things. And his good brother, Wei Song, as a military commander, usually dealt with the military camp and handled military-related matters.

Today, the housekeeper at Wei Bo's mansion looked at Wei Bo's recent good mood, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. When the subordinates saw Wei Bo's smile, they put their hearts at ease.

They had not forgotten how strange Master Wei Bo's temper was a while ago. When they wanted to report something or discuss something with him, he always looked constipated and had a stern face. But they hadn't done anything wrong, why did he seem so different from his usual self, as if there was a dark resentment spreading out of him. Hmm... poisonous...

They acted cautiously, but they could always feel the coldness emanating from the young master's body, as if he wanted to kill them.

Now, the young master's mood has changed, and they don't have to endure the mental torture anymore.

Wei Bai was reading the letter in his hand. He didn't know what the people below were thinking. During this period of time, he was busy with official business and personal affairs. Official business was doing business, assisting the princess in handling the affairs of the Night Palace, and at the same time handling the matters ordered by the prince. Personal affairs were busy thinking about and clarifying all kinds of sudden and complicated thoughts. How could he have so much time to think about how the people in the palace thought of him.

At this time, a servant came in and reported: "A young lady is here to see you, sir."
