You were driven out of the capital at the start, and you ask me why I rebelled?

Chapter 54 The Imperial Guard Commander's Plans

Inside the main hall of the Liang Prince's Mansion.

Ying Chen sat in the main seat, flanked by two military generals, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun.

As soon as the eunuch entered the main hall, a powerful pressure pressed down on him, forcing him to his knees, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

At this moment, he remembered the rumors about the King of Liang and the existence of a Nascent Soul expert by the King's side, which made him feel afraid.

"This servant greets Your Highness, Prince Liang!"

The eunuchs of this time had lost their arrogance from when they were outside the city; they were filled only with endless fear.

"Talk about something!"

Ying Chen spoke coldly.

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The eunuch wiped the cold sweat from his brow and spoke.

"This servant...this servant has come to convey His Majesty's decree!"

The eunuch said tremblingly.

"Oh? Read it!"

Ying Chen showed no intention of getting up, and simply sat there looking at the eunuch and speaking.

"This...Your Highness! May I rise slightly and wait for this old servant to finish reading the decree before sitting down?"

The old eunuch looked at Ying Chen, who was sitting there for less than a minute, and spoke hesitantly.

"Ok?"

Ying Chen glanced at him sideways, and Dian Wei, who was standing to the side, released his own aura.

"No... Your Highness, you... do not need to get up, this old servant will read it right away!"

The eunuch lay on the ground and spoke with difficulty.

Ying Chen waved his hand, and the oppressive aura receded like a tide, causing the eunuch to stand up with trembling legs.

He shakily took out the imperial edict from his storage ring.

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor Qin decrees: There are rumors that the massacre of the Qi family is related to the Prince of Liang. The Prince of Liang is hereby ordered to return to the capital immediately to present the facts. Furthermore, it is said that the cavalry under the Prince of Liang are extremely brave. Such an elite force is a waste to keep in Liangzhou. The Prince of Liang is hereby ordered to relinquish his military power and be incorporated into the Imperial Guard!"

The eunuch forced himself to read the imperial edict aloud, carefully observing Ying Chen's expression as he did so, fearing that Ying Chen might kill him if he became unhappy.

Now he understood why those generals were unwilling to come in with him...

Damn it, this place is a den of wolves and tigers!

These ungrateful people didn't even tell me before watching me jump into the fire.

If I can return to the capital alive, I must give them a proper report.

"presumptuous!"

Boom~~

Sure enough, right after he finished speaking, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun roared at the same time and released their oppressive aura.

The eunuch was instantly forced to the ground, his bones cracking and popping.

"Your Highness... Your Highness! This... this old servant is just someone responsible for delivering imperial decrees!"

The eunuch, pinned to the ground, managed to speak with difficulty.

Ying Chen stood up indifferently and walked to the position of the eunuch below.

Looking at him condescendingly.

"Tell me, if I were to kill you here, wouldn't my father blame me?"

Ying Chen's voice, like a devil's whisper, pierced the eunuch's ears.

He was so frightened that his face turned pale and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

"Your Highness, please calm down! If you kill this old servant, it will be tantamount to treason. His Majesty will be furious, and Your Highness may not be able to bear the consequences!"

Although the eunuch was terrified, he still spoke up.

He knew that his greatest backer was the Qin Emperor, and now he was bringing up the Qin Emperor to make Ying Chen wary, so that he would spare his life.

"Kill them!" Ying Chen said calmly.

Bang~~

As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch was crushed into a bloody mist by the oppressive force.

He turned and walked back to his throne, saying to Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, "Since my father wants to see the cavalry under my command, then let him see them!"

The two understood each other perfectly, and their figures disappeared directly into the hall.

"Somebody come!"

After the two left, Ying Chen called out.

Hearing Ying Chen's call, the Imperial Guards standing guard at the door rushed in.

"Your Highness!"

"Go and summon Guo Jia and Xun Yu!"

Ying Chen gave the order.

"Here!"

The Imperial Guards received their orders and departed.

Before long, Guo Jia and Xun Yu arrived at the Liang King's residence.

Ying Chen talked with the two for a long time, but what they talked about in detail remains unknown.

Outside the Liang Prince's Palace.

The imperial guards generals waited anxiously here, pacing back and forth on the ground.

"Why isn't it out yet! Could something have happened to it?!"

One of the Imperial Guard generals spoke first.

"That's probably it. If I were the Prince of Liang, I would probably rebel immediately upon receiving such an imperial edict!"

General A: "Why don't we run? Staying here will probably only mean certain death."

General B: "Run? Where can we run to!"

General A: "We can't return to the capital. We failed our mission, and even if we went back, we'd still face certain death. Now, we have no choice but to leave Qin..."

General C: "Are you crazy! Our families are all in the capital. If we run away, none of them will survive!"

General A: "I'm not crazy. As long as we're alive, we can have more family members if we lose them, but if we die, our family is destined to decline..."

"Instead of doing this, let's take a gamble!"

The others fell silent after hearing his words.

He's right. Staying here means certain death, and going back means certain death too. It's better to leave Qin and start a new life.
