Chapter 695 The imperial edict is coming
The military advisor rushed to Cong Chongqiu's desk 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 of lukewarm tea, the military advisor wiped his mouth before continuing.
"Ever since we started negotiating peace with Shuitian City, the city gate of Shuitian City has been half-open."
"As long as our soldiers are not wearing military uniforms and are not traveling in groups of ten or eight, Shuitian City will turn a blind eye and allow the soldiers 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, now the Daliang Kingdom has changed its name to Yongchang Kingdom."
There were so many 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, the dynasty in Daliang had already changed long ago.
The information he pieced together from the soldiers' chatter almost shocked him to death.
"What the hell!" Cong Chongqiu was completely confused.
"Why is it that one moment he was named the King of Zhenbei, and the next moment the dynasty of Daliang was changed? Which one is true?"
So much fake news was released at once, 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 as part of a big plan?
But---this is too hard to believe.
Change of dynasty!
Since ancient times, every change of dynasties in any 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 strife in Daliang, they would have rushed in to divide it up long ago. How could Daliang have completed the transition from the old dynasty 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, he disguised himself and wandered around Shuitian City, and 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 couldn't possibly change the country's name just to deceive them. They didn't have the face to do that.
The military advisor took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, sorted out the matter and continued,
"According to the information gathered by the soldiers, Emperor Wu of Liang wanted to get rid of the Xiao family, but was killed by the Xiao family instead."
"The four Xiao family members, father and son, have not died yet and have been hiding quietly near Shuitian City."
"It is said that when the Xiao family arrived in the capital, Emperor Wu of Liang was so scared that he pissed himself."
"The general guarding the capital is General Bai. General Bai did not even fight and directly let the Xiao family into the capital."
"The current emperor of Yongchang is the fourth son of the Xiao family - Xiao Yunzhan."
"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 was truly unpopular with his subjects and the people, and 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, Xiao's army in Shuitian City was very dissatisfied with this, and many people were complaining about it. Then the news reached him.
But----that seemed to be something in July or August, right?
It's not even the New Year yet, and the Xiao family succeeded in rebelling 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."
"I responded to the Xiao family's requests and helped them conquer Daliang."
Cong Chongqiu slumped back into his chair and snorted in disbelief.
"It seems like God is helping me. It turns out that this kind of thing really exists..."
Xiao's army can be protected by gods, so why don't his soldiers have protection from gods?
People are so irritating.
If everything the military advisor said was true.
Then he should indeed 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.
"Go and find out more. This matter is really too unbelievable."
Cong Chongqiu frowned, still unable to believe it all.
That means that the Xiao family was heading towards the capital to rebel, while at the same time retaining troops in Shuitian City to resist them.
How many troops did the Xiao family have to dare to do this?
"Someone has been sent to inquire."
The military advisor held onto the table, moved to the chair next to it and sat down on it.
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 news was wrong, so I sent six people to find out the news separately."
"I think this news must be false. Shuitian City is not afraid of us entering the city at all."
"As long as you don't have weapons or drugs on you, you will be allowed to go through."
"However, I asked three of the soldiers to try to inquire about the neighboring districts of Shuitian City."
"There will be news 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 small matter.
The military advisor slumped in his chair and nodded weakly.
At this moment, Cong Chongqiu's personal soldiers ran in in a panic.
"General, it's bad. 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 anyone from the Wu Ma family, then...
