Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1425

Chapter 1425: Chapter 1420: Pledge of Allegiance

"The King of Hancheng requested to be stationed along the coast with the navy in front of our Emperor, eager to make achievements and gain the Emperor’s favor, hoping for a fight to break out." Fan Yugan said, lifting his wine cup with a dismissive pout, as if disdaining the notion. "Your Highness, how could I let a prince from a fallen country stand out before our Emperor? So if the Second Prince can secretly form an alliance with Zhou, I can persuade Minister Liu to lend the Second Prince a helping hand!"

Previously, the Dongyi Kingdom submitted to Daliang, and now even Daliang has been wiped out by Zhou, let alone Dongyi.

The Dongyi Kingdom is now banking on the assumption that the King of Hancheng won’t share a united front with Zhou since Zhou doesn’t have a navy, which is why they’re acting so arrogant.

Fan Yugan’s words were a mix of truth and falsehood, making it difficult to discern...

Yet, this King of Hancheng did dispatch troops to guard the fishermen setting sail, seemingly eager to fight against the Dongyi Kingdom.

With Dongyi being small in territory and population, they were no match for Daliang’s navy before. Now, if the King of Hancheng truly intends to use their Dongyi Kingdom to curry favor with the Emperor of Zhou, and deploys his famed navy generals, Dongyi might not withstand the assault.

The Second Prince, who was once flattered by being surrounded by the Tianfeng Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom, now seemed to have more on his mind.

The Prince put down his wine cup, looking solemnly at Fan Yugan, a slight curve on his lips, his deep eyes gleaming with a smile, "If Zhou can give this prince the Jade Pendant once worn by your Emperor’s consort, I will willingly remain a subordinate nation of Zhou during Zhou’s gamble against the Yan Kingdom, and continue paying tribute to Zhou!"

Fan Yugan’s hand, hidden in his sleeve, tightened as his smile grew broader, "Who would have thought the Second Prince would also believe the baseless rumors from the Tianfeng Kingdom."

"I wonder if the Emperor of Zhou is willing to part with it?" The Second Prince’s eyes twinkled with deepening amusement.

"To be honest, Second Prince, we’re still searching for that Jade Pendant worn by the consort, even the Monarch of the Tianfeng Kingdom has offered a high reward in Zhou, hoping to find that Jade Pendant!" Fan Yugan maintained his flippant manner, "If the Second Prince really believes in those rumors about time reversal, why not seize the opportunity while the female jade cicada is still with the Monarch of Tianfeng Kingdom, and obtain it first? Once Zhou finds the male jade cicada, we’ll send it to the Second Prince!"

The Second Prince noted Fan Yugan appearing unconcerned about the Jade Pendant, pulling the jade from his waist to show Fan Yugan, "The Monarch of Tianfeng Kingdom has already given this jade cicada to me, saying he can’t get the other Jade Pendant from the Emperor of Zhou, so he gave up."

"So..." Fan Yugan shrugged, "Does the Second Prince really think this jade cicada can reverse time? I’m merely one to indulge in eating, drinking, and playing. If I had one half of the key to unlock time reversal, I’d stop at nothing to get the other half. Could it be I’d just hand it over without a fight? Or perhaps..."

Fan Yugan, suddenly appearing thoughtful, lifted his head sharply to gaze at the Second Prince, "Or maybe these two keys need to be combined in some unique way to reverse time, and when the Second Prince has gathered them for the Monarch of Tianfeng Kingdom, he can consult him... and he will have both keys! Oh... wouldn’t the Second Prince be working in vain then!"

The Second Prince, hearing Fan Yugan’s words, found him increasingly interesting, as his provocation and divide-and-conquer approach seemed not entirely without merit, preventing the Second Prince from getting angry.

"I’ve heard that the Great Shaman of Tianfeng Kingdom is in Zhou..." The Second Prince rested his chin on one hand, fingering the jade cicada, "Zhou should know the way to reverse time, shouldn’t they?"
