"What exactly has happened? All these dynasties have sent people to our Great Yan."
"Hey, what else could it be? Isn’t it widely spread? It’s rumored that the remnants of Great Chu are hiding in our Great Yan Dynasty. After learning the news, every dynasty couldn’t sit still and sent people to our Great Yan, one after another, to find that Chu remnant."
"Isn’t it just a rumor? Why are they treating it as if it’s real?"
"True or false, we don’t know, but the royal family believes it, maybe it is true."
On the city walls of Skyfire City,
a group of soldiers watched the sky, as an incredibly exquisite and luxurious Flying Boat obscured the sun. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
While they discussed in low voices, their eyes were filled with envy.
Such Flying Boats, under the heavens, not many can own one, right?
The Town-Nation Duke’s Heir might be one of them.
Under everyone’s gaze, Cheng Guang piloted the Flying Boat into Skyfire City.
It was tolerable on the outskirts of Skyfire City, but upon reaching the inner city, Cheng Guang felt a pressure bearing down on him.
"Young friend, once we reach the inner city, such ostentation is no longer appropriate. Please put away the Flying Boat."
An aged voice sounded in Cheng Guang’s ear.
Cheng Guang looked towards the depths of Skyfire City, and could vaguely see that within the Great Yan Imperial Palace, someone was watching him.
It might be Emperor Zhou, or it may be someone else.
Cheng Guang wasn’t quite sure, and he also didn’t plan to continue piloting the Flying Boat.
Once inside the inner city, he would have reached his destination.
The outer city was too chaotic, with commoners aplenty, and mostly blacksmith shops, not a place suitable for residing.
Living in the inner city would be more convenient.
If they needed to search for someone later, they could let the people from the Bureau of the Lamp make a thorough search in the outer city.
Cheng Guang stopped the Flying Boat.
Members of the Bureau of the Lamp leaped down from the Flying Boat one after the other.
The appearance of a line of Bureau of the Lamp’s powerhouses in Skyfire City created quite a stir among the bystanders.
But it seemed that since they had already witnessed similar scenes before, their shock didn’t last long, and they diverted their attention back to their own matters soon afterward.
Cheng Guang shrunk the Flying Boat and placed it into his storage ring.
Observing the expressions of the people around him,
he realized that within the Great Yan Dynasty, the news of the Chu remnants seemed to be merely a spectacle for the World Royal Family, irrelevant to the vast majority of ordinary people.
Inside Skyfire City, many people simply glanced at Cheng Guang and his party and then paid them no further attention.
Cheng Guang shook his head with a wry smile, knowing that the vast majority of ordinary people only cared about their own daily necessities and were indifferent to the grand affairs of the world and the struggles of the royal family.
The World Royal Family fought and changed, but their lives as commoners hardly changed, only the Emperor had been replaced by someone else.
Understanding the reason behind this, Cheng Guang could grasp why so many ordinary people could remain so calm when the World Royal Family was agitated by the news of the Great Chu remnants.
After disembarking the Flying Boat, Qian Siyuan took a moment to survey the surroundings and respectfully said to Cheng Guang, "Princely Heir, let’s head to the local branch of the Bureau of the Lamp next."
"They have collected quite a bit of intelligence there, and perhaps there will be news of the Chu remnants."
Cheng Guang nodded slightly and said to Qian Siyuan, "Lead the way."
Qian Siyuan walked ahead of Cheng Guang, showing him the way.
Cheng Guang followed behind Qian Siyuan, and they proceeded unobtrusively but imposingly towards the branch of the Bureau of the Lamp.
It’s common knowledge that the Bureau of the Lamp has branches in the Great Yan Dynasty.
It’s not that Great Zhou has the audacity to set up an intelligence agency in the Great Yan Dynasty, blatantly operating under their noses, unafraid of Great Yan’s retaliation.
Rather, it’s because all the dynasties typically interpenetrate each other’s affairs, and the Great Yan Dynasty also has its intelligence agencies within the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It has long since ceased to be a surprise.
If you annihilate my people today, your people will die tomorrow.
After killing each other back and forth, the royal families of the various dynasties have grown weary, choosing instead to overlook it all.
Perhaps most are of the mindset that anything you are able to uncover is already public knowledge.
As for secrets, you won’t be able to discover them anyway.
This contributes to the creation of such an astonishing situation.
Cheng Guang followed Qian Siyuan down a few streets and arrived at a bustling market, thronged with traders and shops.
The crowd was lively and extraordinary.
The markets of the Great Yan Dynasty, when compared to those of the Great Zhou Dynasty, possess a unique air that belongs solely to Great Yan.
The vast majority of goods sold are weapons crafted by artisans of the Great Yan Dynasty.
The quality is excellent, and although they don’t compare to the weapons used by the people of Great Yan themselves, they are still among the best when taken elsewhere.
As Cheng Guang walked along, he surveyed his surroundings but did not intend to spend any money.
They soon arrived at the Bureau of the Lamp’s branch.
"Princely Heir, we have arrived," Qian Siyuan said to Cheng Guang, bending slightly in respect.
Cheng Guang stopped and looked at the building in front of him.
The Bureau of the Lamp’s branch, located in the Great Yan Dynasty, was somewhat unexpected to Cheng Guang.
It was merely an ordinary teahouse.
Cheng Guang had thought it might be a brothel or a singing house.
It seemed that the Bureau of the Lamp maintained a more respectable tone when operating abroad.
It had not been swayed by the influence of Emperor Zhou, the back-stabber.
If Emperor Zhou were involved, he’d probably export brothels wherever he went, living up to his name as "Mr. Tang."
Cheng Guang entered the teahouse.
As the group of dozens from the Bureau of the Lamp entered the teahouse, they created quite a disturbance, attracting the attention of many gazes.
