Chapter 55 The Excited Imperial Guard Commander
Without further ado, the imperial guards commanders planned to leave quietly.
But just then, a member of the Imperial Guard walked out of the Liang Prince's residence.
"Gentlemen, His Highness invites you in!"
The Imperial Guard gestured for them to proceed and said.
The generals, who had just lifted their feet, heard his words and abruptly put their feet down again.
Everyone looked unwell.
Damn it, we were just about to escape when the King of Liang let them in. This is torture!
"I'll trouble you to lead the way, young man!"
Although they were inwardly cursing, these generals dared not lose their temper. After all, this was Liangzhou, and if they dared to act recklessly, they would surely die without a burial place. They could only speak to the Jinyiwei guard in a gentle and amicable tone.
The Imperial Guard nodded aloofly, said nothing, and turned to walk inside.
The generals followed him cautiously into the main hall.
Along the way, all the generals kept their heads down, not daring to look around, for fear of seeing something they shouldn't have.
"Gentlemen, we've arrived. His Highness is waiting for you inside. Please go in by yourselves!"
After walking for a while, the Imperial Guard stopped and spoke to the Imperial Guard generals.
"Thank you!"
The leading general spoke to the Imperial Guards.
The Imperial Guard nodded and turned to leave.
The generals walked into the main hall with trepidation.
The fate of those who go there is uncertain.
Squeak~~
The main hall doors were opened, and several people slowly walked into the hall.
"This humble general greets Your Highness, the Prince of Liang!"
Several people knelt on one knee and said.
"Get up!"
A majestic voice sounded.
After hearing this, the group slowly stood up from the ground.
The group then carefully examined their surroundings, but apart from the King of Liang sitting on the throne and the two civil officials standing beside him, there was no one else in the hall.
The eunuchs who had entered the Liang Prince's residence earlier were nowhere to be found.
If you smell carefully, you can also detect a faint smell of blood in the air.
This made their hearts sink; it seemed the old eunuch had perished.
"I heard that my father has appointed you to take over the cavalry under my command?"
Ying Chen said calmly, as if asking a question.
"Your Highness, we did not want to come, but we could not disobey the imperial decree. Moreover, our families are all in the capital, so we have no choice but to obey orders!"
The head of the Imperial Guards answered with a forced smile.
"Alright, I'm not here to interrogate you. You just need to answer yes or no..."
Ying Chen waved his hand impatiently and said.
"Yes, it is!"
The Imperial Guard general said in a low voice.
But Ying Chen heard it very clearly.
"Alright, you may leave now! Someone will take you to receive the army in a moment..."
Ying Chen waved his hand and said.
"Ok?"
All the generals looked up at Ying Chen in surprise, a big question mark appearing on their foreheads.
No, did they mishear?
Why would the King of Liang send them to take over the army?
The other vassal kings were eager to hold onto their military power tightly, refusing to let go, and even disregarded imperial edicts.
Where else can you find someone like Ying Chen who simply relinquishes military power?
If it were just an ordinary army, that would be one thing, but the army that the King of Liang handed over was no ordinary army!
Those were cavalry, a full two hundred thousand late-stage Foundation Establishment cavalry!
"What, didn't you hear what I said?"
Seeing that the generals had not made any move, Ying Chen pretended to be displeased and spoke.
"No, no, Your Highness, we'll go right now!"
The generals said in fear.
Fearing that Ying Chen might change his mind.
Unexpectedly, this trip yielded an unexpected gain: they successfully obtained military power. Most importantly, they no longer needed to think about escaping. Once they returned to the capital, a reward was guaranteed.
The group left the main hall with great joy.
"Your Highness's plan is brilliant!"
"On the surface, military power has been handed over, but in reality, the army's loyalty still rests with His Highness..."
"Moreover, with the existence of the imperial edict, the army will not only be unimpeded on its way to the capital, but will also be given many conveniences, saving a lot of trouble."
Xun Yu, standing to the side, flattered Ying Chen.
That's right, this was a scheme orchestrated by Ying Chen and his group to use the Qin Emperor's decree to transfer the army to the capital without any obstacles.
As for killing a messenger eunuch, nobody would care!
"Alright, Wenruo, who did you learn this from? I remember you weren't like this before!"
Ying Chen laughed and scolded, his eyes glancing at Guo Jia intentionally or unintentionally.
Previously, Xun Yu was always cold and aloof to everyone, with a stern face all day long, as if everyone owed him five million. He would never be like this now, let alone say such things.
Guo Jia awkwardly scratched his head, guiltily turned his head to the side, and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know anything."
Ying Chen shook his head helplessly. He knew Guo Jia's personality: he yearned for freedom, was unrestrained and unconventional, liked to do things as he pleased, and was also addicted to alcohol.
It seems that Xun Yu spent too much time with Guo Jia and picked up some of Guo Jia's habits.
However, this is good. Xun Yu was too serious before, and this is much better now.
"Alright, this time Fengxiao will come with me to the capital, while Wenruo will stay behind to guard Liangzhou!"
"Liangzhou is our base of operations, and we absolutely cannot afford to lose it!"
Ying Chen's expression turned serious, and he spoke.
"Here!"
Guo Jia and Xun Yu bowed and said.
...............
Zhenman Pass.
In the general's mansion.
Chen Feng had just received a message from Shuoyang City and came to Chen Cong's house.
"Father, I request an audience!"
Chen Feng called out from outside the door.
"Feng'er is here, come in!"
Chen Cong's voice came from inside the house, and as soon as he finished speaking, the door opened automatically.
Seeing this, Chen Feng went straight into the house.
inside the house.
Chen Cong was reading a military book when he saw Chen Feng enter. He put down the book and asked, "Feng'er, what brings you here to see your father?"
"Father, what have you thought about the matter I mentioned to you before?"
Chen Feng bowed and said.
Chen Cong frowned slightly at Chen Feng's words, knowing exactly what Chen Feng was referring to.
When Chen Feng returned, he told him that he had already pledged allegiance to the Liang King and hoped that he could also pledge allegiance to the Liang King!
He had subtly mentioned this matter to Ying Chen after Ying Chen rescued Zhenman Pass, but Zhenman Pass was of great importance, so he did not agree immediately. Instead, he suggested that he think about it for a while and give Ying Chen an answer later.
However, to my surprise, my son made his decision before I could.
Chen Feng noticed Chen Cong's hesitation and a look of anxiety appeared on his face. He said, "Father, we can't hesitate any longer!"
"Do you really want my Chen family to be trapped in this Zhenman Pass for generations?"
"His Highness Prince Liang is a man of great talent and military prowess, and is the only choice to become the next emperor. We choose to support Prince Liang now, and when he ascends the throne, we will be doing a great service to the emperor!"
"Then, my Chen family will be able to leave this godforsaken place!"
"Even under His Highness the King of Liang's leadership, destroying the Blood Barbarian Dynasty would not be a difficult task!"
As Chen Cong listened to Chen Feng's analysis, the conflicted look on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a look of determination.
Feng'er is right.
The Chen family must find a way out. Although the spiritual energy in Liangzhou is recovering, it is unknown how long it will take to return to normal. The Chen family may not be able to wait that long.
