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

Chapter 48 Rumors

At the same time, they also had some doubts in their hearts. Could it be that what this person said was true?

"Is everything you said true?"

The person who had just spoken out in rebuttal asked in confusion.

"It is absolutely true. I hereby swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao: if I utter even the slightest falsehood, may my soul and spirit be annihilated, and may I never be reincarnated!"

The young man raised his hand and said solemnly.

After he finished speaking, a peculiar energy fluctuation appeared.

The oath of Heaven has been made.

Everyone was in an uproar. They couldn't believe that the Qi family, one of the three great families of the Qin Dynasty, had actually been wiped out.

"Do you know who destroyed the Qi family?"

The man asked again cautiously.

Upon hearing his words, the young man's lips curled into a smile.

Just what I wanted...

"of course I know!"

The young man said confidently.

"Say it!"

Everyone around looked at the young man anxiously, wanting to know who had destroyed the Qi family.

The young man stopped being coy and recounted all the instructions given by his commander.

That's right, this young man is a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He was tasked with spreading information about the Qi family and the Prince of Liang, and it seems to be working quite well!

After hearing the young man's account, everyone in the restaurant looked shocked.

"I never imagined that the Qi family would collude with the Dark Pavilion! They even dared to assassinate a vassal king; they are truly audacious..."

"Indeed! Now it seems that the destruction of the Qi family was not unjust. His Highness the King of Liang has rid our Great Qin of a great threat!"

"King Liang not only defeated the Blood Barbarian Dynasty and resolved the crisis for our Great Qin, but also destroyed the Qi family and the Dark Pavilion of Great Qin. He is truly a wise king!"

"Alas! I really don't know what His Majesty was thinking, to banish such an outstanding prince from the capital and enfeoff him in that remote place of Liangzhou!"

"You can't say that. Perhaps being enfeoffed in Liangzhou is an opportunity for the King of Liang. It just shows that the King of Liang is no ordinary person. If anyone else had been enfeoffed in Liangzhou, they'd probably be buried with grass several meters high by now..."

"I believe that the King of Liang is the most suitable person to be the next emperor of our Great Qin!"

"..."

Discussion immediately broke out in the restaurant. The young imperial guard, watching this scene, smiled even more broadly. It seemed that the time was almost up.

Then, taking advantage of the fact that no one else was paying attention, he left the restaurant and walked outside.

After leaving the restaurant, the young man wandered through the city, eventually arriving at a rather secluded house.

Thump thump thump... thump thump thump... thump thump......

He knocked on the door three times, then four times, and finally twice...

Buzz~~

Then, a surge of energy flashed across the door, and a moment later, the door opened automatically.

Seeing that the door was open, the young man went inside.

"They're here! Where are the others?"

A voice came from the room on the left.

"Master Baihu..."

The young man went in, bowed respectfully, and said...

"Hmm! How did things go?"

The voice continued.

The young man smiled confidently and said, "Rest assured, Commander, we have already spread the news, and it won't be long before it reaches the entire city..."

"Well, good job!"

A middle-aged man came out, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "This matter concerns His Highness's grand plan and must not be taken lightly. If anything goes wrong, even ten lives wouldn't be enough to atone for our sins..."

The young man's smile faded, replaced by a serious expression. He said, "Rest assured, Commander, we will be extremely careful..."

"Okay! You can go and rest now! You finished the task first this time, so I'll give you credit for it..."

The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard nodded and said.

"Here!"

An excited look appeared on the young man's face as he spoke respectfully.

Then, he slowly left the room.

After the young man left, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard reported the situation using the Embroidered Uniform Guard's unique method of communication.

After saying all this, I quietly waited for a reply from above.

At the same time, a similar scene was unfolding throughout the Qin Dynasty, with countless messages spreading from all corners of the Qin.

In no time, the entire Qin Dynasty learned of King Liang Ying Chen's experiences and achievements.

They all felt sympathy for Ying Chen, while also feeling disgust for the Qi family and the Dark Pavilion.

The capital of the Qin Dynasty.

above the hall.

All the ministers gathered in twos and threes, discussing the recent rumors.

The Crown Prince and the remaining two princes all stood at the front with gloomy expressions.

"Your Highness, have you heard about what's been happening lately?"

The Fourth Prince, Ying Heng, approached the Crown Prince, Ying Xiao, cupped his hands in greeting, and said...

"Oh? What rumor are you referring to, Fourth Brother?"

Ying Xiao pretended to be puzzled.

"Naturally, it's those rumors about our sixth brother!"

Ying Heng said matter-of-factly.

"I have been staying in the inner palace lately and am unaware of any rumors about my sixth brother. Has my fourth brother heard any unpleasant gossip?"

Ying Xiao shook his head and said.

"Yes! Fourth Brother, I haven't heard any rumors about Sixth Brother either. Could you tell me about them?"

At this moment, the Fifth Prince Ying Feng also spoke up in agreement.

Ying Heng's eyes flashed slightly as he looked at the two of them and said, "Haha! Then I'll tell you what it is, but let me make this clear beforehand! This is just a rumor, don't take it seriously!"

The two nodded, indicating that they had no objections.

Then Ying Heng began to tell his story.

"Recently, there have been rumors in the capital that the Qi family is colluding with the Dark Pavilion, and that my sixth brother was assassinated by members of the Dark Pavilion. Therefore, my sixth brother dispatched that late-stage Nascent Soul expert who came to the capital before to destroy the Qi family and the Dark Pavilion's branch in our Great Qin!"

When Ying Heng said this, he stared intently at the two men's expressions, trying to discern something from their faces. However, he was disappointed; their expressions remained unchanged throughout.

Seeing this situation, he decided to give them a shocking surprise.

He first glanced around, pretending not to want others to hear, then leaned closer to the two and whispered, "I also heard that Second Brother was assassinated by Sixth Brother's men, and the downfall of the Qi family is related to this..."

Upon hearing this, Ying Xiao and Ying Feng's pupils contracted slightly, but they quickly returned to normal.

"Fourth brother, you can't say such things carelessly. If someone with ulterior motives hears this, they might think there's discord within our royal family!"

Ying Xiao said with a serious expression.

Looking at Ying Xiao's hypocritical attitude, Ying Heng sneered inwardly. When has the royal family ever been friendly?
