The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 1370 The Crisis of Great Xia Country
Chapter 1370: Chapter 1370 The Crisis of Great Xia Country
Long Fei looked at his sister-in-law and smiled helplessly.
This girl insisted on tagging along before, saying she wanted to follow him inside to see the base station built by his company.
Long Fei didn’t agree, so she launched a surprise attack here.
Lin Shanshan handed Long Fei half an apple she had already bitten into and asked him, "Want some? It’s a famous Mount Tai apple."
"Gross, it’s covered in your saliva."
Long Fei rolled his eyes at her.
Lin Shanshan pouted, "Hey, it’s a beauty’s saliva; many wish they could have a taste but can’t!"
She arrogantly followed Long Fei, chattering, "I tell you, if you don’t take me this time, I will follow you in anyway. I’m exceptionally talented and well-read, and I will surely become your assistant. What should we do first inside, go to Chang’an City or head to the South Yangtze..."
Long Fei closed his ears, fearing she’d annoy him to death.
He took Lin Yingying through the space barrier and found that the crack here had grown larger.
The two worlds were constantly overlapping and would eventually intersect completely, and by then, with spiritual energy pouring in, this world would transform drastically.
He summoned the Time Boat and took Lin Shanshan to Chang’an City.
The city was now the storm’s center, and Long Fei needed to scout the situation before making plans.
Recently, everyone in the city sensed something unusual.
The previously relaxed atmosphere had suddenly become tense.
People entering and exiting the city gates had to undergo strict security checks.
Moreover, the gates closed in the afternoon.
If you wanted to enter the city, you’d have to wait until daylight.
Long Fei and Lin Shanshan entered effortlessly and stayed at the Dragon and Phoenix Restaurant in the city.
This place belonged to the Third Prince and also served as his intelligence gathering site.
It was a hub for information, where spies from various factions gathered daily.
Long Fei and Lin Shanshan booked a room and ordered a table of food and drinks in a private room downstairs.
They hadn’t eaten well along the way.
Lin Shanshan devoured her rice, disregarding her ladylike image.
Long Fei sipped his wine while eavesdropping on useful information around him.
Someone in the private room opposite whispered, "Have you heard? The Third Prince seems to have placed the Crown Prince under house arrest. The Crown Prince was preparing to ascend the throne, but the ceremony has been delayed."
"That’s nothing; I heard the Capital City’s Imperial Guard Commander Wang Xun has been arrested, and now the commander has been replaced by someone from the Third Prince’s faction."
"Is this a rebellion?"
"The Third Prince’s ambitions are well known! We need to be aware of the winds and not make a misstep." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"The Crown Prince is pitiful; despite having support from the South Yangtze provinces, what good does it do? The distances are vast, and the South Yangtze can’t help. The North Yangtze has long been the Third Prince’s domain."
Someone laughed, "You only know the surface; I know something even more significant!"
"Let’s hear it," someone urged.
The person continued, "It’s not just the Third Prince who opposes the Crown Prince. Have you heard about the Eighth Prince? He’s reportedly gone to the Northern Desert, planning to confront the Imperial Court."
"The Eighth Prince is backed by the Ten Great Bandits, and the Northern Desert is their territory; everyone’s known that for a long time."
Someone chimed in, "Listen to me, the Fourth Prince Ji Mingren has been lying low in the Shu Region for years, reportedly preparing to rally troops for the king. I think he has his own plans."
"The entire Great Xia Country is in chaos. I heard the Fifth Prince Ji Mingzhi has secretly gone to Guandong, the Sixth Prince Ji Mingxin to the Western Desert, and the Twelfth Prince Ji Mingxiao to the Southern Ridge. Those are their maternal family territories, so they should be making moves too."
"It all depends on the Third Prince’s capabilities. If he acts recklessly, the Great Xia Country could fall apart quickly."
A group chatted in the restaurant, acting as if they knew some inside story, speaking with confidence.
Long Fei listened carefully—Guandong, Northern Desert, Western Desert, Shu Region, Southern Ridge—all these border provinces were stirring.
The Central Plains provinces seemed tightly under the Third Prince’s control, while the South Yangtze was in the Crown Prince’s hands.
If chaos truly erupted, the Great Xia Country might indeed descend into turmoil.
In that event, the Demon Race would benefit for nothing.
Time and fortune.
Amidst all this, it seemed as if an invisible hand was orchestrating everything.
Soon, two bluish silhouettes suddenly appeared in the room.
Lin Shanshan was startled, wielding chopsticks like a sword, but relaxed upon seeing it was Anna and Nightingale.
She exclaimed in surprise, "How do you two manage it? I couldn’t even sense your invisibility technique now!"
Anna and Nightingale laughed, "Thanks to the Master, he passed on the Spatial Law to us, greatly boosting our cultivation."
Long Fei smiled; he could sense them coming in earlier.
In his Divine Sea, even the slightest abnormal spatial fluctuation couldn’t escape notice.
However, compared to others, these Elf Sisters’ use of Spatial Law was incredibly refined and impressive.
The two reported to Long Fei, "Master, we’ve confirmed that the Crown Prince is locked in the Diligence Hall at the Imperial Palace, guarded by many experts. There’s a Great Monk that’s very formidable, even we couldn’t escape his notice, so we returned to inform you first."
"A Great Monk?"
Long Fei raised an eyebrow.
Anna said, "Yes, this monk is quite crude, drinks, eats meat—obviously not a good person."
Lin Shanshan clicked her tongue, "Does the Third Prince really dare to rebel?"
Long Fei said nothing, urging her to finish eating quickly. Then he tossed her, along with Anna and Nightingale, into the Storage Ring and headed to the Imperial Palace under the cover of night.
Lin Shanshan protested vigorously but her eyes lit up seeing the gold, silver, jewels, pills, and magical treasures everywhere in the Storage Ring, laughing as she urged Anna and Nightingale to stuff her pockets.
Long Fei’s Storage Ring had already been replaced by the largest one, with an interior space nearly the size of a gymnasium.
The treasures he’d snatched from those old guys were temporarily piled inside.
Spirit Stones alone were heaped up like small mountains.
The space was so saturated with spiritual energy that it could condense into droplets.
A day of cultivation inside was definitely equivalent to a year outside.
His mastery of Spatial Law was beyond extraordinary; he encountered no obstacles within the Imperial Palace.
Upon encountering the Great Monk, Long Fei finally understood whom Anna and Nightingale had run into.
This fellow was indeed that Monk Bujie from the Heavenly Dragon Temple on Wutai Mountain.
Back when the Heavenly Sound Workshop opened its doors, it was actually to select a powerful body for possession and rebirth.
Behind the Heavenly Sound Workshop were people from the Ancient Flame Emperor Palace.
Failing to possess, the Grand Monk from the Flame Emperor Palace likely took over Monk Bujie’s body.
Otherwise, how could this monk foolishly come to work hard for the Third Prince?
