"That simpleton?" Lin Mo wondered. "Was he coerced into making this decision by the surrounding ministers? Or was this guy holding back all along, and now that he has power, he's rebelling against me?"
A myriad of thoughts churned in Lin Mo's mind, surging and turbulent like waves in a storm.
He composed himself, his gaze sharp as he looked at the guard, and continued to press, "I'm asking you, about that invasion by the alien race three years ago," Lin Mo pressed, "did the Great Xia army defeat them?"
"Ah? Your Highness, you didn't know?" The guard's eyes widened, as if he had heard something unbelievable. "It wasn't Your Highness who personally signed a peace treaty with the Dongpango tribe, ceding the entire Jidong region to them."
Did Liangzhou to the west cede to the Abbasid Caliphate, and Liangzhou to the south cede to the Quz?
In exchange, they supported your establishment of a kingdom in Shu and made you emperor...
That's why His Majesty considers you a traitor and wants to personally lead an expedition to eliminate you...
"Damn it!" Lin Mo's expression changed drastically, his anger overflowing. "How could I possibly sign such an unequal treaty with these scumbags?"
"Yes, yes!" The guard nodded repeatedly, echoing, "At first, I couldn't believe it was true either. Your Highness, you have always been brave and skillful in battle within the territory, suppressing bandits and quelling rebellions by local chieftains."
He even personally wiped out the Dos tribe, which had been harassing our Great Xia for a hundred years.
Later, he even fought against the alien races coming from all sides on his own!
Such a great achievement is truly unprecedented and unparalleled.
How could they suddenly do something so humiliating and disgraceful to the country?
Moreover, Your Highness's several princesses are all in the capital.
How could you possibly disregard their safety?
But..."
"But what?" Lin Mo asked, raising his voice.
"But the Shu region is indeed..."
Lin Mo, “…”
"In my name? Rebellion?" he pressed.
"No, Your Highness, it means to declare yourself emperor!" the guard hurriedly corrected, his tone filled with awe and unease.
"Damn it! Which bastard did this while I was away?" Lin Mo was furious.
Suddenly, something occurred to him.
etc...
Before I was abducted to the far north, I think I sent Yao Guangxiao back to Xichuan City to help Bai Qi govern the city.
"I... my God!" Lin Mo was suddenly shocked, his face turning deathly pale. "Could it be that this evil monk acted on his own initiative?"
Good heavens!
It's actually quite possible!
This wicked monk was a notorious and infamous rebel expert back on Earth!
Taking advantage of Lin Mo's absence, he made decisions on his own and declared himself emperor. That fits his character perfectly!
Thinking of this, Lin Mo couldn't help but curse, "You damned monk, what's wrong with your brain? Are you rebelling on my behalf?"
Shaking his head a few times, Lin Mo thought of another unbelievable thing, "Then, how did I get captured and thrown into the dungeon? And where in the Great Xia is this?"
The guard hesitated for a moment before cautiously replying, "This is Yongzhou, Yongchuan City."
“Yongzhou?” Lin Mo frowned. “That’s the border area between Shu and the capital, the place where the late Emperor Zhao’s family was based.”
"As for why you were arrested, I'm not entirely sure! It's said that..." the guard continued.
"Go on," Lin Mo said in a deep voice.
The guard swallowed hard, seemingly intimidated by Lin Mo's aura, before continuing, "It is said that you yourself bound yourself up and personally delivered yourself to the governor's mansion to surrender."
Lin Mo, “…”
"I want to be alone. Don't ask me who Jingjing is!" Lin Mo was completely numb.
"There are still a few questions. What about my former subordinates?" Lin Mo continued after recovering. "The troops of Xiang Yu and Qin Liangyu who went to Liangzhou to resist Constantine's army?"
"Are you asking about that alien force and your troops?" the guard asked. "That alien force is said to have marched west to attack Xichuan City. Your troops heard the news and followed behind to provide support."
After that, I don't know.
Lin Mo scratched his head. "So, all my troops have returned to Xichuan City?"
"Yes!" the guard said. "If the information is correct, your troops are currently all in Shu!"
So, the unit in Quil City was recalled by the system?
To find out the truth, we must go to Xichuan City.
But right now, Lin Mo can't go back.
Ruoxi, Churan, and Qing'er are all in the capital!
After a long silence of deep thought, Lin Mo finally broke it. "You, go." His voice was low and firm, as if piercing through the surrounding rain. "Are you really just going to let him go like that?" Tomon was somewhat bewildered.
Lin Mo nodded slightly, but his gaze was somewhat unfocused, as if his thoughts had drifted far away. "Yes," he replied briefly, his inner turmoil as uncontrollable as the torrential rain.
"You idiot, run!" Iria's voice, like thunder, jolted the man who had just been freed from his restraints. He froze for a moment, then took off running as if a ferocious beast were chasing him.
The rain intensified, each drop like a sharp arrow piercing Lin Mo's eyes, obscuring his vision. Thunder rumbled, its roar blending with the earth's thud into a powerful symphony. Black water cascaded down the hills like a raging dragon, wreaking havoc across the land.
