Hear the words.
Hu Kui immediately took out his mobile phone and called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Imperial City, which was hundreds of kilometers away.
After some inquiries, it turned out that as Xue Yun said, the embassies of the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets" had lost basic contact with the mainland of the Great Xia Empire.
"Good guy..."
Suddenly I felt something bad.
Hu Kui couldn't help but ponder: "What's wrong with these grandsons of the 'Empire on which the Sun Never Sets'..."
Actually.
The Sun Never Sets Empire has always had three pillars: the "Cabinet" representing official power, the "Zhongshan Group" which completely controls the economy, and the "Black Dragon Society" which has high prestige among the people.
This kind of parallel governance model continues locally to this day.
Now it seems that there is only one explanation.
The relative balance has been broken, and the power structure of the entire country has been reshuffled.
"Anyway, Rintaro has helped us a lot over the years."
This result is not surprising.
Xue Yun said in a deep voice: "In terms of emotion and reason, now that something happened to him, I can't just sit idly by and do nothing."
"What do you mean, do you mean..." Hu Kui said in surprise.
"That's right."
Nodding silently.
Xue Yun said bluntly: "After returning to the city for a little preparation and rest, I want to go to the 'Empire on which the Sun Never Sets' in person."
Hear the words.
Hu Kui couldn't help but be a little stunned, and looked at the man next to him in stunned silence.
A full twelve years.
Since An Ruxuan's death, Xue Yun has almost never left the country in a real sense, and has been doing his best to stay in Daxia and protect everyone.
The reason for doing this is naturally to protect the peace and stability of the Daxia Empire.
Suddenly, such an idea came up, which was really unexpected.
"Old Xue, you have to think carefully..."
Let out a long sigh.
Hu Kui frowned tightly and couldn't help but remind him: "In recent years, except for our Great Xia Empire, the remaining four major human civilizations have been fighting against each other all year round. Outside is not as good as at home, and everything can be convenient for you. .”
His eyes were filled with deep concern.
Hu Kui continued: "The current global situation is too tense, and going abroad to fight may not be a wise choice."
He smiled wryly.
How could Xue Yun not understand this truth.
Twelve years of bloody melees around the world have not only exhausted all major forces, but also strained everyone's nerves and made diplomatic relations extremely sensitive.
Once Xue Yun's whereabouts in the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets" were exposed, the Daxia Empire would be almost unable to provide him with any form of diplomatic help in order to avoid provoking disputes.
In other words.
From the moment Xue Yun chose to go abroad, the Daxia royal family and the princes and city lords of the major fortress cities had to draw a clear line with him.
said with no exaggeration--
Xue Yun, who goes to the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets", will lose all his support and will act entirely on his own will.
"I understand, but I also have a reason to go." Xue Yun muttered.
He raised his eyebrows.
Hu Kui's expression was suspicious and he fell into a long silence.
"Actually, my real purpose is not just to find Rintaro..."
Look into the other person's eyes.
Xue Yun narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Old Hu, do you still remember the time twelve years ago when I took the suicide squad to the Principality of Elsa to carry out the mission to assassinate Duke Sergei?"
"of course I remember."
Lighted a cigarette.
Hu Kui nodded and said, "It was because of that mission that you didn't get to see Ruxuan for the last time..."
The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became solemn.
Recalling the past, both of them felt a little sad, but no amount of regret could change the established facts.
"Yes, it was that time..."
Take a deep breath.
Xue Yun adjusted his mind and continued: "Actually, Duke Sergei is just a puppet. The person who really wants to provoke a war between Daxia and the Principality of Aisha is Takeshi Nakayama."
Startled suddenly.
Hu Kui was actually not that shocked by this truth.
Over the years, the Great Xia Empire has collected a large amount of intelligence. After analysis, everyone has come to a terrifying conclusion. Someone is secretly making trouble on a global scale and deliberately provoking a bloody massacre among all mankind.
Regarding that answer, Hu Kui had already had an outline in his mind, but he suffered from the lack of solid evidence, so he kept it deep in his heart and never mentioned it to anyone.
"I knew it......"
Silently rolling his eyes.
Hu Kui gritted his teeth and said, "This old monster is simply a scourge. What does he want to do?"
"For the sake of blood sacrifice for all mankind..."
His gaze became extremely sharp.
Xue Yun explained in a deep voice: "Then, at the expense of a large number of human beings' spiritual consciousness, he launched some kind of shady secret method to achieve his ultimate goal of immortality."
He couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Hu Kui was stunned on the spot, with a look of disbelief on his face when he looked at Xue Yun.
Use the world as a chessboard and all things as chess pieces.
No wonder there have been constant disputes all over the world over the years. It turns out that everything was just a big game played by Takeshi Nakayama in order to fulfill his dream of eternal life.
"Why are you telling me now..." Hu Kui narrowed his eyes.
Facing the questioning from his good brother, Xue Yun fell into a long silence.
In fact.
All of this is too unbelievable, and the degree of danger involved can be imagined.
But the more you know, the less safe you are.
If it was not a last resort, Xue Yun would even want to keep this secret hidden forever. It would be enough for him to bear it alone, without dragging others into the water.
"It's better to be a little confused about some things, but the problem now is that the time has come when I have to tell you..."
Close your eyes.
Xue Yun smiled bitterly and said: "Over the years, I have been secretly paying attention to Zhongshan Wu's movements, but all I get in return is endless war and hatred..."
Although the Daxia Empire has always been on its own, the situation outside the country is not optimistic.
With wars raging on all sides, it would only be a matter of time before the mainland of the Great Xia Empire was affected.
Just relying on Xue Yun to put out fires and maintain balance alone is not a long-term solution at all.
After careful consideration.
Xue Yun then figured out one thing. If he wanted to live a peaceful life once and for all, he had to get rid of Wu Nakayama, the culprit.
And, at all costs...
Think about it for a while.
After being brothers for so many years, Hu Kui immediately understood Xue Yun's mood. In frustration, he quickly asked: "So, do you already have a plan?"
Nodding silently.
Xue Yun said with a solemn expression: "Before he died, Duke Sergei mentioned a place, which was probably Zhongshan Wu's secret lair..."
There was a pause.
Xue Yun said word by word: "The Seto Islands are within the territory of the 'Empire on which the Sun Never Sets'."
