Chapter 317: Chapter 105: This Grandson is Incredibly Astute! (Please Subscribe)_6
At this moment, he couldn't seem to figure out how Cheng Guang had uncovered this information, no matter how hard he thought.
Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, considered his own intelligence-gathering capabilities to be quite remarkable.
Through Cheng Zhihai and the Bureau of the Lamp, he could learn about all the major events about to happen in the world.
Yet even so, it was only after a reminder from Cheng Guang and a deliberate inquiry that his subordinates, after quite some effort, became aware that something was amiss with the Great Yan Dynasty's court recently.
Overall, it was still calm.
If Cheng Guang hadn't reminded him and he hadn't sent people to investigate on his initiative, he wouldn't have learned this news for quite some time.
Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, couldn't help feeling impressed at the moment; his grandson was truly extraordinary.
Capable of discovering the Devil Emperor's smuggling routes, and also able to find out about the missing crown prince.
Now he had also discovered the unrest about to occur in the Great Yan Dynasty.
If Cheng Guang wasn't his grandson, he really would have wanted to dig into him to see if there were any secrets that allowed him to gather such fast and accurate intelligence.
Cheng Guang could see the reflective look in Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan's eyes and faced his expression with only a smile, saying nothing more.
How he had found out this intelligence was something he had put on a show for, but if he really had to explain, he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.
Cheng Guang also had no intention of providing a clear explanation.
Currently, his identity was that of the Town-Nation Duke's Heir, Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan's grandson. Without a clear explanation, Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan would not pursue the matter further.
Cheng Guang was confident of that.
Come to think of it, even if Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan were to delve into it, he definitely wouldn't find anything.
A system like this was something that not even a Sky-Man like Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan had much concept of.
Cheng Guang laughed, "Grandfather, how can you say that every time I come over I bring you bad news, there's good news too."
Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan glanced at Cheng Guang, picked up the steaming cup of tea from the desk, and said,
"What good news?"
"Did Yanqiu get pregnant?"
Cheng Guang's face flushed slightly, "How could it be so fast?"
"We haven't even consummated the marriage yet. If she really was pregnant, I'd have to wonder if the child was even mine."
Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan laughed heartily, and after his laughter subsided, he looked somewhat worriedly at Cheng Guang's lower body.
"You, boy, why haven't you consummated the marriage yet?"
"Is something on your mind? Or what?"
Cheng Guang just felt that Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, the old man, was a bit annoying; perhaps there was a bit of that uninhibited feeling that was quite common in the military, very forthright.
Cheng Guang didn't care much about it.
He shifted slightly to the side to avoid Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan's gaze and said helplessly.
"I was planning to wait until this matter is over and I return to the Capital city before consummating the marriage with Qin Yanqiu."
"The situation hasn't been completely resolved yet."
"Grandfather, there may be a serious crisis coming."
Upon hearing Cheng Guang speak with such severity, Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan frowned slightly, feeling from Cheng Guang's tone that he was very solemn and serious, not joking.
A serious crisis?
What kind of crisis could there be?
Great Yan Dynasty in turmoil, retreating from the Border Area battlefield, and the border city of North City besieged by Demon Beasts; aren't these serious crises already?
Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan was puzzled, his gaze fixed on Cheng Guang, waiting to hear what he would say next.
Without hesitation, Cheng Guang continued,
"Grandfather, have you ever felt that there might be a spy inside North City, within the Northern Expedition Army?"
"A spy?" Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan was taken aback by this, his authoritative face frozen, his eyebrows raising, and his grizzled beard trembling slightly.
After a moment of shock, he waved his hand dismissively and chuckled, "That's not possible."
"This Northern Expedition Army of ours, built from nothing, was constructed single-handedly by me."
"Every soldier, every person, can be said to be someone whose background I am thoroughly familiar with. There cannot be any spy."
Hearing Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan speak in this way, Cheng Guang felt a sense of powerlessness.
Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan would never consider the possibility of there being a spy within the Northern Expedition Army.
Even so.
If he were to now say that within the Northern Expedition Army, Qin Beifeng was a spy, it's likely that Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan would never believe it regardless.
In that case.
It made things difficult.
Cheng Guang frowned slightly, finding himself at a loss for words.
At this time, Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan was somewhat curious about why Cheng Guang would say such a thing, and at the same time, he was curious about what the serious crisis Cheng Guang had just mentioned was.
Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan looked at Cheng Guang and asked casually,
"My grandson, could it be that you think there is a spy among our Northern Expedition Army?"
"Is the serious crisis you mentioned about this?"
Facing the gaze of Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, even though he didn't deliberately exert his authority to suppress Cheng Guang,
Cheng Guang still felt a heavy pressure at this moment.
Facing the pressure from Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan, Cheng Guang remained unperturbed, nodding slightly.
"Yes, there is one!"
"Aren't you curious why I specifically targeted Qin Gaozhi before, going so far as to deliberately injure myself to such a state?"
As Duke Zhen Guo, Cheng Shiyuan heard what Cheng Guang said, it seemed he was sensing something, he didn't say much, but slightly raised his hand.
"Are you saying Qin Gaozhi is that spy?"
