The tide has turned.

Wei closed his eyes first, not daring to look at this scene.

As it turned out, staging a rebellion in ancient dynasties was truly an incredibly difficult feat.

The fear of imperial power has long been ingrained in the bones of every person. This is a common endeavor that all emperors throughout history have relentlessly pursued together, which is to deify imperial power and make every subject believe that the emperor is the son of heaven. To oppose the emperor is an unforgivable sin.

Where do the soldiers come from

Among the common people.

So all soldiers are afraid of imperial power at their core.

We should only revolt with this group of soldiers if the imperial court and emperor are truly corrupt to the point of no return, and the people are suffering beyond endurance.

As long as there's even a sliver of a chance to survive, no one wants to revolt.

The Qin Dynasty, has not yet reached that point.

Wei, taking the lead, did not dare to rebel.

So throughout it all, he was operating under the banner of clearing out court favorites.

Even so, when Prince Li Chen stood before the thousand soldiers, they still made the most instinctive choice.

Submit.

There was fear of the emperor's power and apprehension toward the prince's status among the soldiers.

But more than that, it was Li Chen's courage and ability that allowed him to achieve this seemingly impossible feat.

Seeing all the soldiers lay down their arms and kneel, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Even Lian Suzhen relaxed his grip slightly, his palm already slick with sweat.

And Su Pingbei was even worse off, almost collapsing.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came, and the soldiers from the Northern Camp arrived.

Two commanding officers from the Peking Camp rushed forward, kneeling before Li Chen and pleading guilty.

Li Chen was too lazy to pay them any mind. If he had to rely on people from Beida Camp to come save him, he'd be dead by now.

However, Li Chen didn't blame them. Their reaction in such a short time was already quite valuable.

“Go, and control all the personnel from Xiaqi rank and above in Nandaying.”

According to the military system of the Qin Dynasty, under the Wei So there were Qian Hu (thousand households), under Qian Hu there were Bai Hu (hundred households). Bai Hu was composed of two Zhonghui (flags) each leading fifty soldiers, and each Zhonghui controlled a Xiao Qi (small flag) consisting of ten soldiers as a unit.

So, Xiaqi can be considered the smallest official roster.

Obviously, Li Chen's command was to eliminate the entire officer corps of Nandaying, from low-ranking to high-ranking officers.

As expected, after hearing Li Chen's order, some commotion began among the thousand soldiers in Nan Daying.

But at this moment, the Northern Army had already surrounded them. The balance of power had completely shifted. Even if these thousand soldiers wanted to do something, it would be impossible now.

Among you, a small number have been manipulated by villains. What this palace intends to do is expose them.

Li Chen glanced at the soldiers, who were uneasy and apprehensive. He said indifferently: "If you are willing to believe this palace, then cooperate honestly with the investigation. This palace guarantees that there will be no unfounded blame or innocent people implicated."

"By my royal word!"

Whether the current situation was already beyond saving or Li Chen's words had some effect, in any case, the unrest of these thousand people in Nandaying subsided quickly after Li Chen spoke.

A thousand soldiers from Beida Camp entered the battle formation of Nandacamp, and leading them was Weidangxian.

Wei didn't quite understand how he, who had come with such arrogance, suddenly became a prisoner.

Li Chen glanced coldly at him, then turned to Su Pingbei and said, "In the army, what crime is committed by those who disobey orders"

"The severe punishment is beheading, the light one is thirty lashes." Su Pingbei said.

"First, drag him out and whip him thirty times, then bring him back to see me."unding.Most importantly, this ability is truly powerful.If it were anyone else, under such an urgent situation going alone to Nanhe, not being killed would be considered lucky, let alone preserving th...
