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

Chapter 56 The Chen Family's Service

Then, Chen Cong stood up and said, "Feng'er, I have made up my mind. I will lead the Chen family to submit to His Highness Prince Liang!"

Hearing Chen Feng's words, a smile appeared on Chen Feng's face, and he said, "Father, our Chen family will definitely feel fortunate for the decision we made today..."

Chen Cong nodded in agreement, but at the same time he was a little puzzled as to why his son was so confident in the Prince of Liang. As far as he knew, they had only met once!

She captivated her son with just one glance.

Is this what they call personal charisma?

"Father, there is now an opportunity to completely bind our Chen family to the Liang King's chariot. I wonder if Father is interested?"

Just as Chen Cong was wondering, Chen Feng spoke up again.

"Oh? Tell me!"

Chen Cong showed a hint of interest and began to speak.

Chen Feng's lips curled into a smile as he said, "News has come from Shuoyang City that His Majesty has sent envoys to summon the Prince of Liang back to the capital, and has also ordered the Prince of Liang's soldiers to be incorporated into the Imperial Guard..."

Chen Feng recounted what had happened in Shuoyang City.

"what?"

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Chen Cong stood up abruptly from his chair and slammed his fist on the table in front of him in anger.

With a loud bang, the table shattered into pieces, and violent spiritual energy was released in all directions.

"Your Majesty is foolish! The Prince of Liang has just rendered great service to the Great Qin, and now you want to strip him of his military power just because of a rumor? This is truly disheartening!"

Chen Cong said, suppressing his anger.

A prince who had just rendered meritorious service to the country was stripped of his military power and forced to return to the capital for interrogation.

Chen Feng had never heard of such a thing before.

"Father, do you think the Prince of Liang will willingly return?"

At this moment, Chen Feng, with a mysterious smile, spoke to Chen Cong.

"Feng'er, what do you mean?"

Chen Cong asked in confusion.

Chen Feng smiled slightly and said, "Father, what do you think of the Liang King's strength?"

Chen Cong's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Strong! Very strong. The strength that the Prince of Liang possesses far exceeds what a vassal king should have, and even the royal family must take this kind of strength seriously..."

At this point, Chen Cong suddenly stopped speaking and looked at Chen Feng with surprise and doubt.

Chen Feng said mysteriously, "Father, you should understand now! The Prince of Liang possesses formidable strength and will absolutely not obediently return to accept interrogation!"

"In the end, this world still respects strength, and the plan of that person in the capital is likely to fail! And it will cause a lot of trouble!"

"Just because he thinks the King of Liang is his son, he can order him to do anything!"

"It can only be described as foolish; they couldn't see the situation clearly!"

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words about Dian Wei, Chen Cong's expression changed drastically. He quickly stopped Chen Feng, saying sternly, "Feng'er, it's fine to say these things to your father, but please don't spread them outside!" Chen Feng waved his hand dismissively and said, "Father, I'll only say these things to you, I definitely won't say them outside..."

"And I'm saying all this so that you'll understand that the King of Liang might be planning something big!"

"This major move could very well lead to a change of dynasty in the Qin Dynasty, and the possibility is quite high!"

Chen Feng also spoke with a serious expression.

"If our Chen family were to declare our allegiance to the King of Liang at this time, we would definitely be treated well by him!"

Chen Feng frowned slightly and pondered for a while.

He then said firmly, "Feng'er, go and make preparations. We will head to Shuoyang City to meet the King of Liang and formally pledge our allegiance to His Highness!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng's face lit up with joy, and he respectfully replied, "Yes, sir!"

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

Shuoyang City.

After Ying Chen issued the order, the entire army of Shuoyang City was mobilized.

Countless flying boats flew over Shuoyang City, and soldiers boarded them in an orderly fashion.

On this trip to the capital, Ying Chen plans to bring with him two generals, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, as well as two cavalry armies: the White Horse Cavalry and the Imperial Guards.

The remaining Qinglong Army and the city defense army all stayed in Shuoyang City.

On the surface, Ying Chen returned to the capital to accept investigation and hand over military power, but in reality, he directly rebelled.

However, this rebellion was not publicized in a grand manner.

To outsiders, it appeared that he, the King of Liang, had compromised and was preparing to submit to the Emperor of Qin.

But only they themselves know the truth.

"Your Highness! General Chen of Zhenman Pass requests an audience!"

Ying Chen was watching the bustling scene outside from the city wall when a member of the Imperial Guard came to his side and spoke.

"Oh? Please!"

A hint of surprise flashed across Ying Chen's face. He had thought that Chen Cong would not come after such a long period of silence, but unexpectedly, he came again today.

"Looks like Chen Feng has really stepped up his game!"

Ying Chen guessed.

"Greetings, Your Highness, King Liang!"

Before long, the Chen father and son, led by the Imperial Guards, came to Ying Chen's side and said respectfully.

"General Chen, please rise!"

Ying Chen said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" the two said, and stood up.

"Your Highness, from this day forward, the Chen family will respect Your Highness as our master, and Your Highness's orders will be the Chen family's decrees!"

After standing up, Chen Cong said in a firm tone.

He wasn't sure of Ying Chen's specific plans before, but after arriving in Shuoyang City and seeing the scene, he became certain of his opinion.

The entire city of Shuoyang was in a tense and tense atmosphere. It didn't seem like they were returning to the capital to hand over military power, but rather that they were preparing for war.

"Hahaha! With the Chen family's assistance, I am as if I have received divine help. My great undertaking is about to succeed!"

Ying Chen laughed loudly, patted Chen Cong on the shoulder, and said.

"Your Highness once offered me a position, but I was too hesitant and indecisive. Fortunately, my son persuaded me in time, which prevented a serious mistake!"

A look of shame appeared on Chen Cong's face as he spoke.

"Chen Feng is also quite good. He has high talent and strong comprehension. His future achievements are limitless! The future of the Chen family is bright!"

Ying Chen could naturally tell that Chen Cong wanted his son to receive his attention.

So I went along with what he said.

After all, they've just joined my team, so I have to give them a promise!
