The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 4477 Emperor Qin's Refutation

Elder Feng could not bring himself to talk about his behavior in the Cliff Palace that day, and tried his best to defend himself: "Your Majesty, I suddenly realized what the Cliff Palace said that day after your Majesty reminded me. I never intended to interfere, and I would never regard General Long Xiao as an enemy. As a general who has always stood on the front line after ascending to the Saint Realm, how dare I make such a statement."

Qin Yun frowned slightly and nodded. He did not expect that this matter would have such a great impact on Old Feng. It seemed that the Qin Emperor's front-line soldiers had already encountered internal problems and pointed the spearhead at Old Feng.

Apart from this, Qin Yun really couldn't think of anything that could influence someone as broad-minded as Old Feng.

It seems that I have to go to Emperor Qin again before looking for Qin Rui.

"Mr. Feng, are you willing to follow me back to the front? I will personally inform all the soldiers that this rumor has nothing to do with Mr. Feng. Anyone who mentions it again or disrupts the morale of the army will be punished by military law!"

Qin Yun said in a deep voice, looking at Elder Feng for advice, it all depends on the other party's personal wishes.

Elder Feng was silent for a moment, unable to give an answer: "Your Majesty, I don't feel wronged, but my kindness was taken for granted. I am ashamed to face all the soldiers."

Qin Yun respected Elder Feng's opinion, said goodbye and left alone, heading towards the front line of the Cliff Palace where Emperor Qin was.

Soon, at the Cliff Palace.

Ming and Chi Xiao sensed Qin Yun's presence and hurried to the cliff to greet him. The moment Qin Yun saw Chi Xiao, he thought of Yuzhi Yunqiong on the fourth floor of the Nine-story Demon Tower. Now, when they compared them, the two were even more similar and there was no difference. Even Qin Yun's keen eyes could not detect the difference.

Qin Yun paused, looked at Chi Xiao and asked curiously: "Chi Xiao, do you have any close relatives in your family?" Chi Xiao and Ming looked at each other, as if they had something to hide. After a brief hesitation, they denied: "No, Your Majesty, the alien beast tribes share the same roots and there is no such thing as close relatives."

Ming also echoed: "Your Majesty, why do you suddenly ask this? It's inexplicable."

It was nothing but a pipe dream for them to think they could deceive Qin Yun. From their surprised expressions, it was not difficult to tell that they had lied.

Qin Yun chuckled and asked, "The imperial capital is now deeply mired in rumors. I am very tired of being deceived. Do you really not have any close relatives? Since I asked this question for no apparent reason, it means that I am asking the question with the answer in mind."

Hearing this, Ming and Chi Xiao hurriedly changed their words: "Your Majesty, to be honest with you, before Chi Xiao came to the Alien Beast Tribe, he was affiliated with a sect in the western region."

Ming's explanation made Qin Yun fall into deep thought. The colorful scales appeared in his mind. It was obvious that the person holding the colorful scales was Fin Xiu, but he was not from Baisha Territory at all. Chi Xiao, who should have had no connection with the area and was not valued, happened to be in the western region and belonged to a sect below Shengyuan Sect.

Noticing Qin Yun's strangeness, Chi Xiao quickly explained: "Your Majesty, I have been in the Alien Beast Tribe for a hundred years and have long cut off contact with the Western Sect. As for my close relatives, I really don't know much about them."

Yuzhi Yunqiong has been sealed in the Demon Tower for thousands of years and is a monster, while Chixiao is a strange beast and they are not from the same origin. It is just this coincidence that reveals Chixiao's special identity.

But in Qin Yun's impression, Ming and Chi Xiao were not as close as they are now. Perhaps it was because they fought together in the future that their relationship became closer. Qin Yun did not take it to heart.

Qin Yun was cautious about Chi Xiao's identity, then he said goodbye to the two and left the Cliff Palace and came to the front line at the foot of the mountain.

When Emperor Qin heard that Qin Yun had come in person, he was extremely excited to greet him: "Father! I didn't expect you to come to visit me again. I am so happy and excited."

Facing the warm welcome from Emperor Qin, Qin Yun did not show any emotion. He looked around, his eyes always staying on the soldiers surrounding him. The influence Emperor Qin brought to Old Feng was definitely not as great as that of the soldiers. Their distrust of Old Feng was the key to Old Feng's psychological imbalance.

Seeing that Qin Yun was calm, Emperor Qin was a little embarrassed: "Father, are you here today to supervise the battle or give instructions?"

Qin Yun said calmly, "I am not here to see you today, I am here to see you all."

As he spoke, Qin Yun turned around and looked at the soldiers, his face serious and his eyes fierce. Just a look made the soldiers below feel uneasy and their hearts began to become uneasy.

Seeing this, the Emperor Qin tried to excuse the soldiers: "Father, the soldiers have been working hard all day and have just returned from the front line to rest. Now is the time..."

Before Emperor Qin could finish his words, Qin Yun interrupted him harshly: "Shut up! You have no right to interrupt me when I'm talking!"

Qin Yun's sudden rage instantly brought the atmosphere to a freezing point. The smile on Emperor Qin's face also came to an abrupt end, replaced by panic and silence.

The soldiers didn't dare to breathe. They had never seen Qin Yun look so angry. Even when faced with a strong enemy, he could still show extraordinary calmness. But at this moment, he couldn't keep his composure.

In Qin Yun's opinion, the reason why the Great Xia Empire made such rapid progress was that it was united enough and had no internal intrigue.

But now, a bunch of rumors have completely shattered the original peace, and even a man as broad-minded as Old Feng has been forced to give up the front-line war and return to the imperial capital. This is the first time in the history of the entire Great Xia Empire. Old Feng is respected not only for his supreme strength, but also for his upright conduct and noble character.

Such a person was forced into a desperate situation, which showed that the situation was not just a rumor, but that there were unpredictable problems at the foundation.

Qin Yun's intimidation made the soldiers panic, and they knew the source of all this. After a long silence, Qin Yun suddenly asked everyone: "Who here thinks that the rumor really came from Elder Feng? Stand up and let me see how many there are?"

Hearing this, the soldiers naturally dared not say a word, let alone move easily. No one wanted to be the first to stand out.

In a situation where Emperor Qin should not have acted, he took the lead and stepped forward to tell Qin Yun his opinion: "Father, I believe that the people's will is the truth of the incident. Since this matter has nothing to do with Elder Feng, why do people point the finger at him? Although he is my teacher, I must be clear about this matter."

With Emperor Qin taking the lead, many soldiers stepped forward and expressed their positions.

As many as half of the soldiers took this step forward, and the number increased as time passed, until finally only a few hundred soldiers were left without moving, and the rest all followed the prince's footsteps.

Such a scene made Qin Yun feel heartbroken and felt sorry for Mr. Feng. At the same time, he realized the seriousness of the incident, which might be more serious than he had imagined.
