The military advisor rushed to Cong Chongqiu's table in two steps, picked up the teacup on the table, and gulped down a glass of water.
He ran all the way and his throat was cracked by the northwest wind.
After drinking a cup and a half of warm tea, the military advisor wiped his mouth before continuing to speak.
"Ever since we started negotiating peace with Shuitian City, the city gate has been half-open."
"As long as our soldiers aren't wearing uniforms and aren't traveling in groups of ten or eight, Shuitian City will turn a blind eye and allow them to enter the city to buy food."
"Then the soldiers who entered the city today saw the eunuchs from Daliang Kingdom coming to Shuitian City to deliver the imperial edict."
"Oh, by the way, the Daliang Kingdom has now changed its name to Yongchang Kingdom."
There was so much explosive news that the military advisor didn't know where to start.
It was the first time he had seen a dynasty being overthrown in such silence.
They hardly saw any signs of civil unrest in Daliang, and as a result, Daliang had already changed dynasties long ago.
The information he pieced together from the soldiers' chatter almost shocked him to death.
"What the hell!?" Cong Chongqiu was completely bewildered.
"Why is it that one moment he is crowned the King of Zhenbei, and the next moment the Daliang Kingdom changes dynasties? Which one is true?"
There was so much fake news released at once that it was so fake that it gave people a sense of reality.
Could it be that the four members of the Xiao family have disappeared for so many years because they were planning a big game?
But---this is too hard to believe.
Change of dynasty!
Since ancient times, every change of dynasties in a country has been accompanied by corpses everywhere and rivers of blood.
The Daliang Kingdom was special, as it changed dynasties quietly.
If the surrounding countries knew that there was civil unrest in Daliang, they would have rushed in to divide it up. How could Daliang have completed the transition from the old dynasty to the new one so easily?
The more Cong Chongqiu thought about it, the more he felt it was impossible and too fake.
He has been guarding the border for so long, but he hasn't seen anything major happen in Shuitian City.
Apart from the fact that Fire Extinguishing City was renamed Shuitian City due to continuous droughts, he did not notice any other movements in Shuitian City.
"It's all true." The military advisor could certainly understand Cong Chongqiu's feelings.
When he heard it, he couldn't believe it at all.
However, when he disguised himself and wandered around Shuitian City, he found that all the flags hanging on the walls of Shuitian City had been replaced.
Those big words "Yongchang" are not fake.
No matter how magnanimous Emperor Wu of Liang was, he would not change the country's name just to deceive them. They did not have the face to do that.
The military advisor took a deep breath, calmed his excitement, sorted out the matter and continued,
"According to the information gathered by the soldiers, Emperor Wu of Liang wanted to eliminate the Xiao family, but was killed by them in return."
"The four of the Xiao family, father and son, have not died yet. They are hiding quietly near Shuitian City."
"It is said that when the Xiao family arrived in the capital, Emperor Wu of Liang was so frightened that he pissed himself."
"The general guarding the capital was General Bai. General Bai didn't even fight and directly let the Xiao family into the capital."
"The current emperor of Yongchang is Xiao Yunzhan, the fourth son of the Xiao family."
"That is Emperor Yongchang."
"It is said that the word 'Yongchang' was bestowed upon Xiao Yunzhan by the Divine King."
The military advisor said all these words in one breath, and he himself found it hard to believe.
This is a bit too easy.
Emperor Wu of Liang really lost the support of his subjects and the people. Not even one of his subjects stood up to speak for him.
After hearing the military advisor's words, Cong Chongqiu was petrified.
He really couldn't digest this news at all.
When did changing dynasties become so easy?
He had heard some news about the Xiao family being confiscated and exiled.
At that time, the Xiao family army in Shuitian City was very dissatisfied with this, and many people were complaining about it, and the news reached him.
But----that seemed to be something like July or August, right?
It's not even the New Year yet, and the Xiao family has successfully rebelled while in exile?
"Who is this God King?"
Cong Chongqiu came back to his senses after a long while and looked at the military advisor with a confused face.
The military advisor frowned slightly, "It is said that it is the god who protects the Xiao family."
"He responded to every request of the Xiao family and helped them conquer the Daliang Kingdom in one fell swoop."
Cong Chongqiu slumped back into his chair and snorted in disbelief.
"As if by divine intervention, it turns out this kind of thing really does exist..."
The Xiao family army is protected by gods, so why don’t his soldiers have gods’ protection?
Comparing yourself to others will make you feel thief angry.
If everything the military advisor said is true.
Then he should really surrender to Yongchang Kingdom earlier.
Both the father and son of the Xiao family were generals. They knew the hardships of the soldiers better than anyone else and would definitely treat them well.
"Let's find out more. This matter is really too unbelievable."
Cong Chongqiu frowned, still unable to believe it.
That means that the Xiao family was heading towards the capital to rebel, while at the same time keeping troops in Shuitian City to resist them.
How many troops did the Xiao family have to dare to do this?
"We've sent people to investigate."
The military advisor held onto the table, moved to the chair next to it and sat down.
The news shocked him so much that he rushed from Shuitian City to the general's tent.
He had never run so far in his life, and his legs were weak from running.
The military advisor licked his lips and continued,
"I was afraid the information was wrong, so I sent six people to find out the news separately."
"I think this news is fake. Shuitian City is not afraid of us entering the city at all."
"As long as you don't have weapons or any other drugs on you, you'll be allowed to go straight through."
"However, I'll have three of the soldiers try to inquire about the neighboring districts of Shuitian City."
"News will be reported back in three to five days."
Cong Chongqiu nodded, "Then wait a moment."
A series of explosive news hit his mind, and he felt that Xiao Yunhao being named King of Zhenbei was a very small matter.
The military advisor slumped in his chair and nodded weakly.
At this moment, Cong Chongqiu's personal guards rushed in in a panic.
"General, something bad has happened. The prefect has received the imperial edict from His Majesty and is on his way here."
Ever since the Wu Ma family and Shi Qiang were killed, these personal soldiers became more nervous than anyone else when they heard any sign of trouble.
The military advisor, who had just taken a breath, stood up suddenly.
"Where did the imperial edict come from?!"
"I heard from the yamen runners that it was sent urgently from the Imperial City, eight hundred miles away."
"This..." The military advisor turned to look at Cong Chongqiu, his eyes full of doubts.
"Could it be that the imperial edict was passed on to the Wu Ma family?"
If the messenger of the imperial edict cannot see the Wu Ma family, then...
