Chapter 244

She was also in a state of chaos.

Gao Yang was right; his guess really came true, and Da Qian was even more dangerous!

Great Chu had actually passed Longguan without anyone knowing. In other words, it wouldn't be long before they killed their way to Changan.

This almost caught her off guard!

Lu Zhen looked at Wu Zhao and said, "Your Majesty, this must be false intelligence. If there was war at the border, it would have been sent to Changan by eight-hundred-mile urgent long ago, not to mention that Longguan is our Da Qian's number one majestic pass. If the Chu army had reached Longguan, we should have received the news long ago!"

"Not to mention that the Chu army has now passed Longguan on a large scale."

These words instantly aroused a wave of agreement.

Because logically, this matter could never happen.

Wu Zhao turned her gaze to Gao Yang and said in a deep voice, "Junior Official Gao, what do you think of this matter?"

Gao Yang was named, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Gao Yang raised his eyes, looked directly at Wu Zhao, and said with certainty, "This subject believes this matter is true!"

"The Great Chu army has silently passed Longguan and entered our Da Qian's hinterland. In a few days, they will be at the city gates!"

Following Gao Yang's words, Lu Zhen's fiery temper instantly rose.

"Boy, this is absolutely impossible!"

"Unless that Great Chu army descended from the heavens and suddenly appeared behind Longguan, otherwise, from our Da Qian's border to Longguan, why hasn't a single message been transmitted?"

"How do you explain this?"

Lu Zhen looked at Gao Yang, his voice ringing through the hall like a bell.

Gao Yang did not answer immediately, but looked at Wu Zhao and said, "Does Your Majesty have a map of Da Qian?"

Wu Zhao said in a deep voice, "Get the map!"

Shangguan Wan'er took the map to Gao Yang. After Gao Yang examined it carefully, he took a deep breath.

He looked at Lu Zhen and said, "Great Chu doesn't need to descend from the heavens. As long as Xue Yi of Longguan colludes with the enemy and rebels, surrendering to the Chu Kingdom, they can pass Longguan silently."

"Once Xue Yi rebels, everything will be reasonable. When the Great Chu army enters our Da Qian from Pingcheng, this marching route must pass through our Da Qian's Longguan. Similarly, when border military intelligence is transmitted to Changan, it must also pass through Longguan!"

"Xue Yi withheld the intelligence, killed the soldiers transmitting messages from the border, and helped the Great Chu army cover their tracks."

"This naturally explains how Chu Kingdom could pass Longguan without any effort. From the current situation, there is only this one possibility."

"Xue Yi has rebelled, and Longguan has fallen!"
