Chapter 197 Rebellion
Xuan Gou Chen and Qin Guan hurriedly followed behind, fearing that Feng Tianning would leave them behind.
As soon as General Chen went out, he led a horse and galloped out of the city.
Feng Tianning and the other two were stunned for a moment, then they used their spiritual power to chase after him.
The place General Chen walked to was becoming more and more remote, but there were more and more people wearing armor around him.
The fast horse ran for two hours before General Chen finally stopped.
Feng Tianning looked at the military camp in front of him with some surprise and was speechless for a moment.
This is not the place where soldiers are stationed as advertised, but it is densely populated with well-equipped soldiers.
They quietly followed General Chen, passed through many checkpoints and arrived at the camp.
The further they went in, the more frightened they became.
There are not only tens of thousands of soldiers here, but also large weapons such as artillery.
General Chen went straight to the main tent, and Feng Tianning and the other two hurriedly followed behind him.
There were seven or eight people who looked like generals in the main tent, chattering about something. When they saw General Chen, they quickly stopped talking and saluted him respectfully.
"His Majesty."
As soon as the leading general opened his mouth, Feng Tianning and the others were stunned.
His Majesty?
Are you talking about General Chen?
General Chen nodded, hummed softly, then sat down in the main seat, his eyes fixed on the sand table in the middle.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the leading general wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said cautiously:
"Your Majesty, the things you ordered last time have been done."
"That soldier's head has been cut off."
After saying that, he clapped his hands and a blood-stained cloth bag was brought in.
Seeing that General Chen still didn't speak, the leading general took a deep breath and shook out the contents of the cloth bag.
Feng Tianning looked carefully and saw that it was the soldier who was running around the city to report the good news when they first met General Chen.
The person who was alive just a few hours ago has now turned into a lifeless head.
He opened his eyes as wide as he could, as if he wanted to see clearly who killed him.
General Chen didn't even glance at the head, and said:
"The Zou brothers and sisters have already taken care of the matter. You can start soon."
The leading general was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief:
"He was the emperor of the dynasty. How could they kill him so quickly?"
After these words were spoken, a strange silence fell in the tent.
The general also realized that he had said the wrong thing and fell to his knees with a thud.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong."
"You are the only emperor in Northern Mang. The one sitting on the throne now is just a scum paving the way for you."
As he spoke, he began to hit himself hard on the mouth.
Only when a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth did General Chen raise his hand and stop his movements.
"Considering that you are a first-time offender and have risked your life for the Chen Family Army, I will leave you with an intact body."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people rushed in and carried away the general who had just spoken.
"His Majesty!"
"His Majesty!"
…
Soon, the general's miserable voice was heard outside, but General Chen's face did not change at all.
The other few people showed some reluctance on their faces, but they did not dare to plead for mercy.
Another general below swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously:
"I wonder when His Majesty wishes us to depart?"
General Chen thought for a moment and said:
"Move as soon as possible. The death of the emperor will cause chaos in the capital. This is a good opportunity for us to seize power."
"Is it a bit too hasty?" a general asked in a low voice.
He was not worried that General Chen would get angry. As everyone knew, this cruel general had only one weak spot in his life, and that was the throne.
As long as you don't touch him casually, he won't get angry.
"It's a little late."
General Chen rubbed his aching brow.
"The Imperial City has become suspicious of me and has sent three messengers to Xuancheng with that person's token, hoping to take me back."
"Let's move without delay." He gave the order in a cold voice.
The others responded hastily, saluted General Chen, and went out to reorganize the troops, preparing to march towards Kyoto.
Feng Tianning and his companions did not expect that it was their arrival that provoked General Chen to rebel.
There were at least hundreds of thousands of soldiers outside, and they were well-equipped. It was obvious that they were private soldiers carefully selected by General Chen.
They must have been hiding here just for this day.
Seeing that General Chen was the only one left in the main tent, the three of them looked at each other and retreated.
Feng Tianning didn't lift the invisibility spell until he walked to a place where there was no one.
"Is General Chen planning a rebellion?" Qin Guan asked impatiently.
Xuan Gou Chen also blinked in confusion:
"But isn't this his dream?"
"If he wanted to be emperor, couldn't he just think about it? Why would he go to such great lengths?"
Feng Tianning shook her head, she couldn't figure it out either.
In the dream, General Chen is the master. Why should he do these thankless tasks?
"Tianning, what should we do now?"
Xuan Gou Chen really didn't expect that they just came to inquire about the information, but they actually made such a big mistake.
"He must be holding us captive in the General's Mansion now, worried that the three of us might get into trouble."
Feng Tianning hesitated for a moment and said:
"Let's go back."
"Wait and see what he wants to do."
This is a dream and will not affect the real world.
Even if General Chen really rebelled and usurped the throne, it was just his fantasy and the Emperor of Beimang would not be affected.
Xuan Gou Chen and Qin Guan nodded in agreement and returned to the general's mansion before General Chen.
Before they could even sit down, General Chen, who had hurried back, appeared outside the door.
"My Lords, I have something important to report."
Feng Tianning cleared his throat and said, "Come in."
General Chen walked in slowly, his eyes swept between the three of them, and when he saw nothing unusual, he spoke:
"My Lords, now is not the best time to return to Kyoto."
"Oh? Why?" Xuan Gou Chen asked knowingly.
"Now the Northern Mang army has moved another thirty miles towards Xuancheng. If I leave rashly, I'm afraid Emperor Cang Xuan will become suspicious."
"If Emperor Cang Xuan sends a large army to Xuancheng, or sends another general to replace me, it will be difficult for us to end this situation."
"It will also have an impact on your majesty's plans."
They could not find any fault with General Chen's words, as if he was really a good general serving the country and the people.
If his true identity had not been discovered in advance, Feng Tianning and the others would probably have been deceived by him.
"It's alright, all this is His Majesty's will."
"You just need to come back with us, and His Majesty will take care of the rest."
Feng Tianning said these words deliberately, and as expected, he saw a flash of murderous intent in General Chen's eyes.
