Chapitre 921: Getting Old

News of Zhu Li's death spread across Asia fairly quickly. The death of a Ming Prince was no small matter, and because of this, soon everyone knew that the man had been killed in the streets. Though the identity of the assassin was entirely unknown. 

Neither the German Embassy nor the Ming Emperor spoke about this incident after it had occurred. What was done was done, and there was no turning back in time. Though the Ming Emperor mourned for the death of his errant son, he did not blame the Reich for their cruelty. He knew that if he were given the same circumstances, he would have reacted the same. 

Because no hostilities emerged between the two powers, business continued to boom between the Reich and the Ming Dynasty. Goods flowed from west to east, and vice versa, creating a new silk road, one that was traversed by sea. With the might of the German Navy protecting international trade, there was not the slightest risk in sailing from East Asia to Europe.
