Chapter 1027: Confrontation, constant questioning

~3 min read 521 words

"You really don't know?"

Meng Tian was also somewhat confused.

Looking at Chu Yuankai's appearance, it did not look like an act.

It seemed he was truly ignorant.

"This..."

"Grand General, this subordinate truly does not know!"

"If such a thing happened, it must have been done by the people above."

"This subordinate is truly ignorant."

Chu Yuankai cursed inwardly.

Which bastard did such a thing and left him to take the blame?

To want to accomplish such a major event, the answer was obvious.

Besides the highest-ranking Commandant Ren Xiao, there was likely no one else.

This... did he really want to rebel?

Otherwise, why would the imperial army have come?

They must have received news before coming.

But why didn't Ren Xiao tell him?

He was still being kept in the dark until now.

However, asking himself, if Ren Xiao had told him he wanted to rebel, he wouldn't have dared either.

After all, this was playing with his life.

And it wasn't just his own life.

It was playing with the lives of his entire family and even his relatives.

Now that the Empire was so powerful, what benefits could rebellion bring?

There were no benefits at all; who would be so stupid as to rebel?

As long as life was passable, no one would want to rebel.

Unless they couldn't even get enough to eat, only then would they have thoughts of rebellion.

He couldn't quite understand what Ren Xiao wanted to do.

"What do you know?"

"Tell us everything you know."

Ying Ying Zi Ye spoke indifferently.

This person named Chu Yuankai should truly be ignorant.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be acting like this.

Whether a person is lying, as long as one is careful,

one can see the truth or falsehood of a person by carefully observing their words and expressions.

The eyes are the windows to the soul; through the eyes, one can understand a person.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Chu Yuankai recalled for a moment.

Only then did he slowly recount the details of the matter.

It turned out that more than two months ago, Shangqing Meng Yi had arrived in the Nanyue region.

He had brought a type of super rice to plant in the Nanyue region.

But for some unknown reason, Shangqing Meng Yi went to the Panyu capital.

After that, there was no more news of him.

Not long after Shangqing Meng Yi went to the Panyu capital, Commandant Ren Xiao issued a round of orders.

Saying that an extremely important fugitive had escaped, requiring all commanderies and counties to strengthen their vigilance.

And Chu Yuankai was handling matters in another place at the time.

The fifty thousand Nanyue troops were usually scattered in various places executing tasks.

The place with the most troops was the Nanhai Commandery's Panyu capital.

The troop strength reached two hundred thousand.

And after such a thing happened, many soldiers were transferred back to the Panyu capital.

As for how many troops the Panyu capital had now, he did not know either.

He was transferred from his original position by a transfer order. ===== CHAPTER 1029 =====
