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

Chapter 53 The Arrival of the Imperial Envoy



Chapter 53 The Arrival of the Imperial Envoy

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

At that moment, Dian Wei's voice came from outside.

He had arrived when the strange phenomenon occurred, but he was afraid of disturbing Ying Chen's cultivation, so he dared not rush in. Now that the phenomenon had disappeared, he spoke.

"I am fine! Stay outside and guard the area. No one is allowed to approach without my permission!"

"Here!"

Ying Chen's voice came from inside, and Dian Wei breathed a sigh of relief after hearing it.

It's good that Your Highness is alright!

Then, like an iron tower, it stood outside, preventing anyone from getting close.

Inside the cultivation room, Ying Chen opened the system panel.

Host: Ying Chen

Identity: King of Liang of the Great Qin Dynasty

Strength: Peak Nascent Soul Stage

Weapon: Emperor Xuanyuan Sword (Supreme Divine Weapon)

Summoned characters: Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Guan Yu, Guo Jia, Xun Yu (Strength: Peak of Nascent Soul)

Summoning Legions: White Horse Cavalry, Embroidered Uniform Guards, Imperial Guards, and the Elite Iron Cavalry of the Han Dynasty

Pet: Five-Clawed Golden Dragon (Strength: Early Stage of Nascent Soul)

Kill Points: 1390 million

He looked at his impressive panel and a smile appeared on his face. Not only had his own strength improved, but the strength of the summoned characters had also increased.

Moreover, the kill value has once again reached more than 13 million, all of which were obtained from annihilating the Qi family and the Dark Pavilion.

Finally, Ying Chen looked at the pet section and was surprised to find that Xiao Jin had already reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Its strength had improved very quickly. You should know that Xiao Jin was only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm before!

It hasn't been long, yet it has already reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. It truly lives up to its reputation as a legendary divine beast.

According to Ying Chen's estimation, Xiao Jin's cultivation will not encounter any bottlenecks before the Tribulation Transcending stage. As long as he absorbs enough spiritual energy, he can keep breaking through until he transcends the Tribulation.

At this moment, Ying Chen had to admit that he was envious. If he had Xiao Jin's cultivation speed, he would have already taken off.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Ying Chen was a little puzzled. He hadn't seen Xiao Jin these past few days and wondered what the little guy had been busy with.

They're not going home anymore.

Previously, Xiao Jin would return every now and then to absorb his spiritual energy, but now it hasn't returned for several days.

However, Ying Chen did not take this matter to heart. With Xiao Jin's early stage of Nascent Soul cultivation, coupled with the terrifying physical strength of the Dragon Clan, no one could be its match unless a powerhouse above the Void Refinement Realm made a move.

Thinking of this, Ying Chen felt relieved.

Then, Ying Chen walked out of the cultivation room.

"Your Highness!"

When Dian Wei saw Ying Chen come out, he bowed respectfully.

"Ok!"

Ying Chen nodded calmly and said, "Have someone repair the cultivation room..."

Ying Chen accidentally made a hole in the training room just now; it needs to be repaired.

"Here you go!"

Dian Wei respectfully acknowledged the order and went to arrange for people to repair the training room.

Ying Chen walked all the way to the study.

No sooner had he sat down than Lu Bing arrived.

"Your Highness!"

Lu Bing bowed respectfully and said, "Recently, spies from many other forces have arrived in Liangzhou. These people are quite powerful. Since arriving in Liangzhou, they have been gathering intelligence on Your Highness in various places. Should I take action to kill them?"

Ying Chen frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "Ignore them! As long as they don't get close to the core area of ​​Liangzhou, let them go!"

Ying Chen quickly guessed their purpose: to find out where the powerful figures around him came from. He wasn't afraid of them finding out, since he had already released the information himself. Besides, the powerful figures around him were all summoned from the system, so they couldn't possibly find out. He let them go.

"Here!"

"Your Highness, news has arrived from the capital that the Crown Prince publicly accused you of annihilating the Qi family during a court assembly, prompting the Emperor to issue an edict recalling you to the capital for questioning..."

Afterwards, Lu Bing told Ying Chen about what had happened in the capital.

"Oh?"

"Did my father agree?"

Ying Chen's expression turned cold, and he spoke.

Lu Bing nodded silently, then continued, "The Emperor of Qin not only agreed to the Crown Prince's request, but also wants to take over your cavalry..."

"hehe!"

A cold smile appeared on Ying Chen's face as he said, "My father's ideas are truly unrealistic!"

"Your Highness, what should we do?"

Lu Bing inquired.

He stood up and walked outside the Imperial Study, with Lu Bing following behind him.

Standing outside the door, I looked up at the sky and saw a clear blue sky without a single cloud.

Ying Chen's eyes gleamed as he said in a deep voice, "The time is almost right! When will the envoy from the capital arrive?"

"Probably in the next day or two!"

Lu Bing said in a deep voice.

"Tell the generals to prepare! The situation is about to change!"

"Here!"

Lu Bing then immediately went to personally convey Ying Chen's orders.

............

Several days later, a flying boat slowly landed outside Shuoyang City.

A royal eunuch, under the protection of the Imperial Guards, swaggered off the flying boat.

In addition, there were some people dressed in armor who looked like generals. These were the generals sent by the Qin Emperor to take over Ying Chen's cavalry!

"Is this Liangzhou? What a remote place!"

As soon as the eunuch stepped off the flying boat, he looked at the crowd that had gathered around him and the city walls that were not even half the height of the capital. He waved his hand dismissively and said in an icy tone.

His words angered some of the Liangzhou people around him, but judging from his posture, he was clearly not someone they could afford to offend, so they could only stand there angrily, not daring to step forward.

"I feel that the spiritual energy here is even richer than that in the capital, and it's not at all as desolate as rumored..."

One of the generals behind him, sensing the concentration of spiritual energy in the air, spoke up.

"Yes, I feel the same way!"

Another general spoke up.

The eunuch was embarrassed by the two men, and although he was dissatisfied, he dared not say anything, because these men were generals of the Imperial Guards, and he, a mere eunuch delivering imperial edicts, could not afford to offend them.

"Go, summon the Prince of Liang to receive the imperial decree!"

Unable to vent his anger on the generals, the eunuch spoke to one of the imperial guards beside him.

Upon receiving the order, the Imperial Guards immediately headed towards Shuoyang City.

A short while later, the imperial guard returned.

Seeing that only one imperial guard had returned without anyone following, the eunuch frowned and asked, "Where is the Prince of Liang?"

The imperial guard lowered his head and said, "This subordinate...did not see the Prince of Liang. The people around the Prince of Liang said that we should go in and deliver the decree ourselves..."

"Hmph! Still putting on that princely airs?"

"Fine! We'll give him that face. Anyway, once we return to the capital, his position as a prince will be in jeopardy!"

The eunuch sighed.

After saying that, he led his men toward Shuoyang City.

After entering the city, someone led them to the Liang King's Mansion.

"Eunuch Liu, we won't go in. You go in alone to deliver the decree! We'll wait outside!"

Outside the Liang Prince's residence, the generals stopped and spoke to the eunuch.

The eunuch, unsuspecting, nodded and walked into the Liang Prince's residence.

After the eunuch entered the Liang Prince's residence, the generals showed gloating expressions on their faces.

This eunuch is truly ignorant of his own limitations. Now, who in Qin doesn't know that the King of Liang is a meritorious official of Qin? Leaving aside his achievements, his sheer power is enough to command respect...

Only a eunuch who is used to lording it over others would be so blind to the situation.

"What do you think will become of this eunuch?"

One of the Imperial Guard generals spoke up.

"What other outcome could there be? There are only two possibilities: either the King of Liang is magnanimous and won't bother with such a minor character, or he will die!"

"Instead of worrying about his fate, we should worry about ourselves! Perhaps our fate won't be much better than that eunuch's..."

Another general spoke up.

His words made the faces of all the generals present turn grave.

Yes! Their fate might not be as good as that of the eunuch!

I don't know if my emperor has lost his mind, that he would want to strip the Prince of Liang of his military power.

Isn't this forcing the King of Liang down the wrong path?

Now we can only hope that the King of Liang will not bother with these small fry.
