Shen Yi looked at his face carefully: "After the Westerners broke through the Southern Sea Navy, their troops were divided into two routes. One branch was personally led by the pope, pressing from Da Gu Port to the capital. The other was mainly composed of suicidal Dong Ying men they hired by money. They drove their armored chariots up north along the canal and across the two provinces of Zhili and Shandong. Local garrisons had never met with a battle before, they instantly suffered defeat. We had also clashed with them on the way, they truly were hard to deal with. Later, General Zhong appeared in Jiangnan and helped Yao Chong Ze to reorganize the ruined Naval Army and go North to help us. That group of people finally made way and retreated back to Shandong Province.

"As of right now, the Western Army from the two routes have combined into one, returned to the sea, settling down in the areas of the Dong Ying Islands. I'm afraid it is not over yet."

Gu Yun's eyebrows tightly frowned, making an 'Mm' sound in response.

Shen Yi had been shouting incessantly to the point of his mouth turning dry, he poured himself a cup of cool herbal tea, chucking it down and sighing, "Don't think too much, what you should do right now is rest and heal up completely, nothing can be done without you."

Gu Yun half closed his eyes and said nothing.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Shen Yi shifted the topic and said: "Your little Highness has changed so much. Before, he had hidden his talents ever so tightly, but in the face of a national disaster, he single-handedly stepped up to bear heavy responsibilities. I could hardly recognize him anymore.

"Did you know that the Emperor has taken the word 'Bei' from his title 'Yan Bei Wang?'"

Yan Bei Wang to Yan Wang - although it was a difference of only one word, it was moving from being a Jun Wang to a Qin Wang.

Gu Yun returned to reality and muttered tiredly: "What good would it do... getting promoted now."

In order to cheer him up, Shen Yi directly got to the main sensitive topic: "Just now I saw him coming out of the palace with Chong Ze, they are on the way, perhaps he will soon come back."

Gu Yun: "..."

Shen Yi saw his expression as bleak as the bottom of a pot, he asked, "What happened?"
