Chapter 1033

He hadn't thought of this point before.

Ever since Hu Hai's incident last time,

he had long since disappeared, and he hadn't thought in that direction either.

"Could it be that Commandant Ren Xiao was incited to rebel by Young Master Hu Hai?"

Chu Yuankai exclaimed, very surprised.

When Hu Hai was demoted to a commoner at that time,

this matter was announced to the whole world.

Anyone with a bit of status knew about this matter.

Now Hu Hai had run over to wreak havoc in Nanyue.

And that Old Man Fan called Fan Zeng came along too.

Even the Senior Minister Shangqing Meng Yi sent by the Court was imprisoned.

This was truly bold and daring!

This was simply an unprovoked disaster for Nanyue.

It was no wonder the imperial army had come with so many people.

Thinking of this, Chu Yuankai panicked.

Senior Minister Shangqing Meng Yi was imprisoned in Nanyue.

They all had some responsibility, more or less.

Regardless of whether they were aware or unaware.

They—feared being implicated and punished.

But this really had nothing to do with them.

"I beg Your Highness to discern the truth!"

"We truly don't know about this matter."

"We were just following the orders from above to garrison here."

"If I had known the truth was like this, I certainly wouldn't have helped the evildoer."

"I hope Your Highness can believe us."

"We... we are willing to accept any investigation!"

Chu Yuankai said at the end, gritted his teeth, and directly said he was willing to accept an investigation.

It seemed that only in this way could he remove such a big label.

Meng Tian and the others stopped talking.

They all looked quietly at Ying Ying Zi Ye.

Only the Crown Prince could make the decision on this matter.

Whether to believe or not, it only required a word from the Crown Prince.

Whether they were accomplices or ignorant, it depended on the Crown Prince's judgment.

"I believe you are innocent."

Ying Ying Zi Ye's light words came out.

The people present were stunned again.

Was it that easy to believe?

However, Meng Tian and the others didn't think much of it.

They were also willing to believe Chu Yuankai.

Otherwise, they would have fled long ago; how could they have stayed?

And they even directly put down their weapons and opened the city gates to come out.

If they had ghosts in their hearts, seeing so many imperial troops coming, they would have fled long ago.

How could they have so openly put down their weapons and come out to welcome the imperial army?

And in their hearts, the Crown Prince was a person of swift and decisive action.

The three main principles of doing things—fast, accurate, and ruthless—the Crown Prince had them all.

"Your Highness, do you really believe us?"

Chu Yuankai was stunned at first, but soon became ecstatic.

He even suspected he was having auditory hallucinations.

Was the Crown Prince so easy to talk to?

He believed his words just like that?

"Otherwise?"

"This Crown Prince has his own judgment on this matter."

Ying Ying Zi Ye glanced at Chu Yuankai.

Whether it was true or false, he naturally had his own judgment in his heart.

It was estimated that everyone present could see a rough idea.

Chu Yuankai was speechless, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He only felt his eyes were a bit moist.

The feeling of being trusted by someone was truly great.

He never thought that one day he would be moved to tears because of someone else's trust.

"Your Highness, thank you for your trust!"

"This subordinate is willing to go through fire and water for Your Highness! I will not refuse even if I die!"

Chu Yuankai was so excited that he knelt down directly.

"Get up."

"If it is discovered later that you have ulterior motives, you will be executed without fail!"

"Your Highness, please rest assured; if this subordinate dares to have ulterior motives, there is no need for Your Highness to take action; this subordinate will end my own life!"

Chu Yuankai's tone was firm and powerful, and he looked at Ying Ying Zi Ye with burning eyes.

He saluted again before standing up.

The soldiers guarding Nanyue saw this scene and all raised their arms and shouted,

"Long live the Crown Prince!"

"Long live the Crown Prince!"

The soldiers shouted slogans, their emotions running high.

The Crown Prince believed they were not rebelling, which was unexpected.

Therefore, they were so excited.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to wash themselves clean even if they jumped into the Yellow River.

The soldiers cheered for a long time before gradually calming down.

"Your Highness, what should we do next? Please instruct us!"

Chu Yuankai shouted, wanting to contribute.

Since the Crown Prince didn't suspect them,

they certainly wanted to help and contribute.

"What do you think?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye didn't respond immediately, but looked at Meng Tian and the others.

Meng Tian and the other generals looked at each other.

It was time for them to play their part.

"First, we need to understand how many troops are here."

"And how many troops are in the surrounding cities."

"Since we've come, we must go for a visit."

"No one knows if other cities will rebel against Great Qin."

"We can gather the surrounding troops together."

"We can also split into two paths; the infantry will stay behind to sweep the surrounding cities."

"And the cavalry can head straight to the Nanhai Commandery's Panyu capital." ===== CHAPTER 1035 =====
