Chapter 961

Meng Tian set down the messenger and reached out to take the scroll.

After a moment's thought, he handed it directly to His Highness.

After all, this imperial edict was certainly intended for His Highness.

If he were to read it first, it would seem like usurping the host's role.

Ying Ying Zi Ye did not say much either.

He took the scroll, opened it, and carefully examined its contents.

He, too, wanted to know what had happened in Great Qin.

They had only been out for such a short time; how could something have gone wrong?

He found it a bit difficult to understand.

It was only after seeing the contents of the scroll.

That he finally knew what had occurred.

Ying Ying Zi Ye's expression sank instantly.

His complexion was extremely grim.

He had not expected such a thing to happen.

"The Xiongnu's fate is not yet exhausted; their time has not yet come."

Ying Ying Zi Ye muttered to himself.

Meng Tian and the others all noticed His Highness's expression.

The temporary command tent fell silent at once.

It was likely that some major event had occurred.

Otherwise, His Highness would certainly not have shown such an expression.

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked up at Meng Tian.

This gaze left Meng Tian stunned, not knowing what it meant.

"Something has happened; all of you, prepare yourselves."

"The Border Defense Army is to return to Great Qin immediately!"

Ying Ying Zi Ye closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and his expression recovered.

But his words left the generals present stunned.

The entire army to return to Great Qin?

Could it be that something had truly happened to Great Qin?

Otherwise, why would the entire army need to return?

Everyone looked at one another, at a loss for what to do.

They were completely bewildered, and it took quite a while for them to recover.

Every face was filled with astonishment.

"Your Highness, has something happened?"

"Why must the entire army return to Great Qin?"

"Are we not going to fight the Xiongnu who are right before our eyes?"

"If you just give us a little more time, we will surely be able to take down the Xiongnu!"

"Is it not a bit rash to withdraw the army at this critical moment?"

"Your Highness, please reconsider!"

"We beg Your Highness to reconsider!"

The generals had never thought of giving up the war against the Xiongnu.

As long as they were given a little more time, they could certainly take down the Xiongnu.

Wouldn't it be better to return to Great Qin after that?

"Your Highness, is it your wish to return, or did His Majesty order us to return?"

Han Xin was somewhat anxious; returning at this time was by no means a wise move.

He truly did not want to return; if they returned, all their previous efforts would be in vain.

Let alone Han Xin, who did not want to return.

Not a single person present wanted to return.

"This is my decision."

Ying Ying Zi Ye opened his eyes and looked at everyone expressionlessly.

"Your Highness, may this general see His Majesty's edict?"

Meng Tian suddenly spoke up.

He really wanted to see what had happened to Great Qin.

That required three hundred and twenty thousand troops to return to Great Qin.

If so many people really had to return, the matter was likely not small.

It might even be...

"Grand General, why don't you not look at it?"

"It might not be suitable for you to see..."

Wang Li had been standing behind just now and had seen a rough idea.

Ying Ying Zi Ye raised his hand to stop Wang Li's words.

"You may look, but you must remain calm."

Ying Ying Zi Ye still had the same look in his eyes.

He handed over the scroll in his hand.

Meng Tian was even more puzzled; His Highness's gaze was not right.

He had looked at him with this strange gaze just now, and now it was the same again.

This left him confused, as if this matter had something to do with him.

But he was not in Great Qin, so what could it have to do with him?

Meng Tian could not figure it out, so he had to step forward a few paces, take the scroll, and read it seriously.

He was truly itching with curiosity, urgently wanting to know the contents.

After he saw the contents clearly, his face turned red with anger.

"Ah!"

"This is too much!"

Meng Tian let out a roar.

Even with his steady temperament, he could not help but be furious upon seeing the contents of the scroll.

Meng Tian's sudden roar gave everyone present a great fright.

They all looked at Meng Tian in surprise.

What had happened?

Why was his reaction so intense?

Wang Li looked at Meng Tian speechlessly; he had said not to let him see it.

And look what happened, he had gone straight into a rage.

"All generals, hear my order!"

"Follow His Highness's instructions!"

"Now! Immediately! At once!"

"Three hundred and twenty thousand troops are to return to Great Qin immediately!"

Meng Tian looked grim as he roared at the generals.

The Grand General's domineering aura was on full display.

Everyone present was stunned.

After His Highness read the contents of the scroll, his expression had been frighteningly grim.

Now that Grand General Meng Tian had read the edict, he was so furious he seemed like a different person.

Something had happened.

It must be a major event. ===== CHAPTER 963 =====
