After crossing, I was miserable.

Chapter 259 Premonition of the Storm

"My Lord, it has been more than a month."

Although Anba was a little distracted, he still responded quickly.

"One month..."

Chu Yan tapped lightly on the wooden window frame with his fingers, making crisp and rhythmic sounds.

"Dang...dang...dang..."

His eyes were wandering, as if he was thinking about something, but also seemed like he was just killing time casually.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely depressing, making people feel inexplicably heavy.

Chu Yan didn't stand there for too long before returning to his desk.

I sorted out the current situation inside the Qin Imperial Palace.

Because according to common sense, the secret guards they trained have outstanding abilities.

There are rarely any mistakes when carrying out tasks, and it is even more impossible that no news would be sent back for such a long time.

After all, the existence of secret guards is to provide all kinds of information and protection to their masters. If they can't even do this most basic thing, then what use are they?

So, there must be something fishy about this matter!

Could it be that those secret guards have met with an accident?

Or did they encounter some strong resistance during the mission, which prevented them from completing the mission and returning successfully?

Or is it that someone is deliberately interfering and trying to conceal some important information?

"Did anyone send anyone over?"

"My Lord, yes, but no message has been sent back yet."

"That is to say, not only are there no traces of those who were previously missing,

Even the people we sent over to investigate the situation have no news now?"

Chu Yan's brows were tightly furrowed, as if leaving a deep mark on his handsome face.

There was a hint of displeasure and worry in his deep eyes.

His secret guards would not be like this.

No matter what happens, a message will be sent back, even if it is just one word, and there will be no news at all.

The air around him seemed to sense his emotional change and became heavy and oppressive.

As time went by, the air pressure around Chu Yan gradually decreased, forming an invisible pressure that enveloped the surroundings.

It's like the calm before a storm, which makes people feel fearful.

An Ba appeared quietly in front of the desk like a ghost.

His figure was like a shadow in the night, looming.

He knelt on one knee, lowered his head and said nothing, like a silent sculpture.

At the same time, there was a slight noise outside the door, and the other secret guards knelt on the ground one after another. They were agile and their movements were in unison, like a well-trained army.

These secret guards exude a cold and mysterious aura that makes people shudder.

They knelt there quietly, motionless, as if waiting for Chu Yan's instructions.

The atmosphere of the whole scene was solemn, with only the faint sounds of breathing and wind echoing in the air.

The atmosphere inside and outside the house was extremely depressing.

Although they are secret guards, they are not afraid of life or death.

But it is impossible to say that I have no feelings for the brothers who have been through thick and thin with me.

They were also in a sad mood at this time and were worried about their brothers.

“Try to make contact, and after making contact, ask everyone to withdraw first.

At the same time, stay alert and keep an eye out for changes.”

An Ba was stunned for a moment, then looked up at his master.

Seeing that his master also felt distressed, he replied happily:

"Yes, the little one knows."

After saying this, he disappeared in an instant, and the secret guards outside the house also disappeared at the same time.

Chu Yan pondered secretly and felt that things might not be that simple.

He thought that the old emperor was old and his health was deteriorating, and it was unknown whether he would die soon.

However, what is puzzling is that the old emperor never appointed a crown prince.

In this way, those who are eyeing the throne will inevitably be anxious and uneasy.

After all, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and this group of people naturally hope to determine the successor as soon as possible so that they can make plans early and pursue their own interests.

Therefore, now that he is far away in a foreign country, the other party has already begun to kill him.

Moreover, he saw that

This group of killers seem to be the same group of people, but in fact there seem to be differences and contradictions among them.

On the surface, they may wear the same clothes, use similar weapons, and act in the same way, but beneath these appearances lie a variety of complex relationships and motivations.

They obviously consisted of at least 2-3 groups, all of whom had the same motives.

The others were beaten and killed no less than their enemies.

Some of them even "inadvertently" "harmed" their "brothers" while "performing" their missions.

Thereby causing confusion.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible for them to escape so quickly.

All in all, these killers are far more complicated than they seem.

At the same time, this also means that the old emperor should have mentioned something about him.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have attracted so many enemies.

If everyone knew that the old emperor would never choose him,

He then fled to the State of Chu.

Unless something unexpected happens, I will always be with Chu.

No prince would be so stupid.

He actually went to the trouble of traveling thousands of miles to deal with a person who posed no threat to him.

However, the gears of fate are turning quietly.

After careful consideration, Chu Yan made an important decision:

After the Chinese New Year, he went to Qin State in person.

This decision was not made lightly, but was a well-considered choice.

He knew that this journey was full of unknowns and challenges, but his inner conflict and longing for his mother made him determined to go forward.

The Qin State was a mysterious and powerful country that hid countless secrets and stories.

He believed that only by setting foot on this land again and facing it directly could he get rid of his knot in his heart.

Maybe, he would find out more information about his brother.

As for Qian Duoduo, business is booming as the New Year approaches, and he is making a fortune every day.

The numbers in her account continued to rise and she made a lot of money.

Various banknotes, gold, jewelry and other treasures continuously poured into her treasury, making people dazzled and overwhelmed.

This wealth was like pie falling from the sky, making her feel excited and surprised.

She is immersed in the joy of making money every day, as if she is in a dream world. This feeling is so wonderful!

The most profitable business is her fresh food supermarket.

During the cold winter, fresh vegetables and fruits become scarce and precious.

However, surprisingly, her fresh food supermarket is always crowded with customers.

Although it was freezing cold outside, her shop was filled with a warm atmosphere.

The shelves are filled with all kinds of colorful and fresh vegetables and fruits, like an oasis in winter.

People flock here in search of healthy ingredients that are hard to find elsewhere.

All of her products come from space.

The products produced by the space must be of high quality.

Whether it is the crisp green vegetables, sweet fruits, or tender meat and seafood, they all exude an enticing aroma, attracting the eyes and taste buds of customers.

Not only that, she is also good at innovation.

In order to meet the taste needs of different people, she will introduce some special recipes and cooking suggestions so that people can use these ingredients to make delicious and nutritious dishes.

Such thoughtful service makes customers full of trust and dependence on her fresh food supermarket.

In this seemingly bleak season, her fresh food supermarket has become a bright spot in people's lives.

Especially when the Chinese New Year is approaching, every household will prepare a lot of vegetables and fruits.

Qian Duoduo also sells some fresh seafood.

She even rented the shop next door and demonstrated on-site how to eat various fresh seafood.

This way, every household has one more dish.

Some wealthy families, and even some high-ranking officials' families, also came to her to order dishes.

Seeing this situation, Zhou She hurriedly looked for many "temporary workers" and asked them to be responsible for delivering the food.

These temporary workers get up early every morning, go to the stores to select the freshest ingredients, carefully package them and deliver them to various prefectures.

Although their work is hard, they are very serious and responsible and have never made any mistakes.

All this is thanks to Zhou She's careful management and strict requirements.

It is precisely because he has extremely strict control over every link that the entire food delivery process becomes orderly, efficient and fast.
