Chapter 1258

"Iron Fist, go investigate the imperial trade caravan heading to the Chirperi Kingdom—what made them conceal this information?"

"Yes!"

Actually, she should have gone straight to the fortress city lord's manor, because with such a major matter, the city lord's manor could not possibly be unaware. But Li Li Li Changan had suddenly grown suspicious of the current Divine Might General, suspecting it was an order from her Imperial Father behind the scenes. Because the Divine Might General was the commander of one of the empire's four great legions, and he only took orders from her Imperial Father. Without her Imperial Father's command, he had no authority to conceal such a major matter.

It is worth mentioning that the current Divine Might General is the son of the previous Divine Might General. Because the Divine Might General was a founding meritorious official, the founding late Emperor specially bestowed the title, and at the same time specially permitted them to inherit the title through generations, guarding the empire's most important gateway all along.

Speaking of which, the Wu family has been assisting their Li family's dynasty for over a thousand years now. The current Divine Might General should be the twenty-second Divine Might General.

To be honest, she was somewhat dissatisfied with the current Divine Might General.

Because the way he looked at her was a bit off, and given his status, she could not very well get angry.

"Your Highness, could you help me lobby Your Majesty of your esteemed country? If the empire is willing to send troops, it will surely be able to end this war!"

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Pero Qiqia, this matter is not something I can decide. However, once I have thoroughly investigated the circumstances, I will certainly help you lobby my Imperial Father, striving to send troops to your esteemed country and end the war as soon as possible!"

This matter was also difficult for Li Li Li Changan to handle. Since they, as children, were also unaware, it was very likely that her Imperial Father had concealed it, or, the kingdom that attacked the Chirperi Kingdom had made some kind of secret deal with her Imperial Father.

Wait, in the past half year, there didn't seem to be any envoys from other kingdoms paying public visits? If it were a secret deal, then at least on the surface there should still be some degree of envoy visits.

What exactly is going on?

Li Li Li Changan suddenly realized that this matter might not be as simple as she had imagined. If no envoys had visited the empire, then how could the other party have made a deal with her Imperial Father?

If there was no deal, then someone below had forcibly concealed this matter, and that person's power was so great it could even influence the empire's intelligence department!!!

If it were true, then their heart must be punished!

The key point is whether her Imperial Father actually knows about this or not.

Returning to the palace was not something that could be done in a short while. If the other party truly held overwhelming power, then the target would actually be smaller. For now… she should first gather enough evidence.

"Alright, Your Highness."

Pero Qiqia felt a slight disappointment in his heart. Even with prior preparation, the other party was only a princess, not the Emperor of the empire himself, and the power in her hands was limited. It was normal that she could not help him. Going through the normal process also required time, but what he lacked most right now was time!

It seemed his heart was willing but his strength fell short.

"Don't lose heart, Your Highness Pero Qiqia. Could you tell me the whole story of this matter from beginning to end? Perhaps we can work out a solution together."

"Sure."

Pero Qiqia thought for a moment, then nodded.

Currently, Master Lin Cheng had already agreed to help him forge weapons. If he could work out another plan with the princess, using it as a backup plan would also be a good choice.

Immediately after, Qiqia recounted everything that had happened in the Chirperi Kingdom, the whole cause and effect, from the ancient ruins to why he had come here, without concealing anything.

The sheepskin blueprint had already been absorbed by Master Lin Cheng, so there was no harm in speaking of it. The princess before him could not possibly force Master Lin Cheng to hand over the sheepskin blueprint.

· ·······Seeking flowers····· ·····

Furthermore, concealing things might arouse suspicion in the princess before him. The fact that she had been able to find him proved that her methods were extraordinary.

Now he had nothing left he could not lose, so he might as well lay everything out.

"Your Highness Pero Qiqia, I have a general understanding of the situation. Regarding your request, I will report it to my Imperial Father on another day, hoping he is willing to send troops to help the Chirperi Kingdom."

"Thank you very much, esteemed Imperial Prince." Pero Qiqia rose and bowed once more.

"I still need to attend Master Lin Cheng's inscription class, please forgive me for not being able to keep you company longer."

Li Li Li Changan waved her hand, unbothered.
