Chapter 17

Inside the Qilin Palace,

the civil and military officials in the imperial court were all astonished, erupting into a clamor of exclamations...

"The Xiongnu have been wiped out?!"

"So quickly?"

"General Meng Tian, how did you manage it? Those were the Xiongnu elite!"

"..."

The shocked civil and military officials discussed it among themselves, exclaiming repeatedly, all looking at Meng Tian with stunned gazes.

Even Ying Zheng on the dragon throne,

upon hearing this news from Meng Tian, had his eyes light up, and a trace of a smile appeared on his face.

"Wiped out tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry elite? Very good!"

"Meng Tian, you truly live up to your reputation!"

Ying Zheng praised General Meng Tian.

However,

upon hearing Ying Zheng's praise, General Meng Tian's expression changed slightly, and a glimmer of complex light flashed in his eyes!

This wasn't something I wiped out!

The one who wiped out the Xiongnu army of Huyan Mu is highly likely related to Young Master Mo...

Meng Tian muttered to himself,

and he also knew,

he definitely could not claim this credit for himself!

Therefore...

General Meng Tian hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly spoke: "This..."

"Your Majesty, wiping out the Xiongnu army of Huyan Mu was not the achievement of Meng Tian..."

"But rather an army called the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry!"

"The combat power of this army is extremely terrifying; with only ten thousand men, they slaughtered fifty or sixty thousand Xiongnu troops as if killing chickens and sheep!"

As soon as these words were spoken,

"What?!"

Instantly,

everyone in the imperial court,

their expressions suddenly became dull, and in each of their eyes, a look of disbelief bloomed!

Even Ying Zheng,

his expression changed abruptly, his gaze instantly becoming sharp, staring straight at Meng Tian, his tone low and majestic: "Great Snow Dragon Cavalry?!"

"Meng Tian, what do you mean by this?"

"What exactly happened in the Great Qin borderlands?!"

"What kind of force is this Great Snow Dragon Cavalry?!"

Ying Zheng's sharp gaze stared fixedly at Meng Tian, his voice cold and profound!

The blade-like gaze fell upon Meng Tian,

instantly making Meng Tian feel immense pressure, and at the same time, it made the shock in Meng Tian's heart even more intense!

Sure enough,

this Great Snow Dragon Cavalry really has nothing to do with His Majesty!

It is not a secret army in His Majesty's hands!

As soon as Ying Zheng said these words,

the civil and military officials in the court quickly regained their senses.

The civil and military officials all had shifting expressions, staring at Meng Tian in disbelief.

Zhao Gao, Li Si, Feng Quji, Meng Yi, and other civil and military ministers had solemn and grave expressions, staring intently at Meng Tian.

And at this moment,

General Meng Tian paid no attention to the gazes of the crowd, but hurriedly answered Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, regarding this Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, this subject is also unclear..."

"However..."

With deep shock and horror in his eyes, General Meng Tian spoke to Ying Zheng with a trembling voice: "This subject believes that this matter may be related to Young Master Mo!"

"Because the leader of this Great Snow Dragon Cavalry claims to be a general under Young Master Mo!!!"

Boom!!!

As soon as these words were spoken,

it was instantly like a giant rock crashing into a calm lake, setting off monstrous waves!

Ying Zheng, who had originally been gloomy but very calm in his emotions, had his pupils contract violently upon hearing this, his body tensed up, and he suddenly asked Meng Tian in a hoarse voice: "Young Master Mo?! My imperial son?! No... impossible! Impossible! My imperial son... has been dead for five years!"

"Meng Tian!!"

"Do you know what these words you speak... represent?!"

A terrifying aura erupted from Ying Zheng's entire body!

His eyes were instantly bloodshot, and his voice was even trembling!

Deep within his eyes, there were intense emotional fluctuations, his hands tightly gripping the armrests of the dragon throne, veins bulging, and his temples throbbing!

The emotions in his heart rose and fell violently, and his breathing became somewhat rapid!

Clearly,

this news was a very, very great shock to him!

Not only was he like this,

but the civil and military officials in the hall,

after hearing the news Meng Tian spoke of, also had their expressions change drastically, and in each of their eyes, looks of horror bloomed!

"Impossible!"

"Young Master Mo died for his country five years ago; this matter cannot possibly be related to him."

"General Meng Tian, you must be mistaken! You must be mistaken! This is impossible..."

"..."

The civil and military officials in the court were as shocked as Ying Zheng, all feeling that this matter absolutely could not be true!

"Your Majesty..."

General Meng Tian had long anticipated the reaction of Ying Zheng and the others, and he hurriedly said: "This news was indeed spoken by the general of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry who wiped out the Xiongnu elite cavalry army. This subject cannot yet confirm whether the news is true, and originally intended to investigate..."

"But thinking that this matter is of great importance, I returned personally to report this matter to Your Majesty!"

"The specific situation still needs to be investigated before it can be confirmed..."
