Chapter 963: News from Great Qin, Meng Tian is furious

"Nanyue is suspected of rebellion, and key court officials have been imprisoned!"

"We need to rush back to suppress the rebellion!"

Meng Tian's tone was heavy, and a hint of killing intent appeared in his eyes.

They were out here fighting to the death, yet someone within Great Qin dared to rebel.

How could this not make Meng Tian furious?

The reason Meng Tian was so furious, besides the Nanyue rebellion,

Had another primary cause: his younger brother, Meng Yi, had been captured.

He was being detained in Nanyue and was not being allowed to return for the time being.

The edict on the scroll was also very simple.

The content roughly introduced the course of events.

Meng Yi had led people to transport super hybrid rice to the south for planting.

For some unknown reason, he was subsequently imprisoned.

Only one person escaped back to Xianyang City to deliver the message.

Informing the Qin Qin Shi Huang that Nanyue might have rebelled.

Otherwise, how could they have placed a key court official under house arrest?

That was Shangqing Meng Yi!

Daring to imprison even a key court official, what did Nanyue want to do?

The answer was almost self-evident.

Rebellion!

Treason!

Besides this reason.

No other reason could be found.

This matter made the Qin Qin Shi Huang furious.

Right under his nose, someone dared to imprison a key court official.

Even if it were not rebellion, it was a capital crime.

The Qin Qin Shi Huang immediately sent people on an eight-hundred-li urgent dispatch to investigate the truth.

But before they reached Nanyue, they turned back.

Because the border between the two had been sealed.

Nanyue had dispatched soldiers to block the imperial highway.

The people sent to scout for information returned directly.

Thus, the truth of the matter surfaced.

Nanyue might truly have rebelled.

Otherwise, why would they need to do this?

Nanyue had five hundred thousand troops stationed there.

If Nanyue rebelled, the situation would become very dire.

Great Qin's new recruits had only been training for a short time; they would likely suffer heavy losses on the battlefield.

And the Commandant Army that guarded the safety of Xianyang City could not go on a long expedition.

Therefore, they sent a messenger to find Ying Ying Zi Ye and inform him of the matter.

The rest was the Qin Qin Shi Huang's edict, handing this matter over to His Highness to be responsible for, letting His Highness decide what to do.

Meng Tian's words left the generals collectively stunned.

Nanyue rebellion?

This... this...

Had Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo and the others gone mad?

How could they dare to do this?

Wouldn't His Majesty be driven mad with anger?

Let alone His Majesty being driven mad, they couldn't stand it either.

How could Nanyue dare to rebel?

Could there be some hidden story behind this?

Ren Xiao was His Majesty's trusted general; how could he rebel?

No one present believed Ren Xiao would rebel.

But the naked facts were before their eyes, and they had to believe it.

No wonder His Highness's expression was so ugly after reading the scroll.

It turned out to be a Nanyue rebellion.

And no wonder the Grand General was so furious after reading the scroll.

Whether it was because Meng Yi was imprisoned or Nanyue rebelled, both were extremely infuriating matters.

His brother was imprisoned; as an older brother, how could Meng Tian not be furious?

At this moment, they finally understood the cause of the matter.

There was no one present who was not furious.

What they hated most were rebels.

They were out here fighting to the death to expand the territory, yet now things were in chaos at home.

How could this let them be at ease?

"That old bastard Ren Xiao is too arrogant."

"How could he dare to do this?"

"Daring to rebel and commit treason?"

"We must go and beat him to a pulp!"

"But could there be some hidden story behind this?"

"That old thing Ren Xiao doesn't seem like that kind of person!"

"Old Qian, stop making excuses for that old thing; the facts are right before our eyes now."

"If he isn't that kind of person, why seal off the imperial highways? If this isn't rebellion and treason, what is it?"

"For such a villainous rebel, we must beat him to death to vent our anger!" ===== CHAPTER 965 =====
