Let them offer their loyalty!

She said, "Moreover... Qiu Tu has been silent for too long since he became the Speaker."

"Now there is such a perfect opportunity, he should also take the chance to stir things up..."

.....

Meanwhile.

Dongye State, Red Mountain City.

Old Pang was leading Princess Xi, together with Kou Yu, to visit the unique Red Mountain landscape of Red Mountain City.

The officials of Red Mountain City followed alongside them, respectfully introducing the Red Mountain landscape.

Then, at that moment, suddenly, a confidant's communicator beside Old Pang started to vibrate.

The confidant quickly stepped out from the tour group to take the call.

One could faintly hear a few keywords: Huang Shangzong, leading troops, sudden intrusion into Dongye State... and so on.

The confidant's face changed dramatically. After asking a detailed question, he hurriedly hung up the phone and quickly walked towards Old Pang.

Seeing him approach, Old Pang glanced over, and the confidant whispered a few words in his ear.

Old Pang's face immediately showed an expression of rage.

He lightly shouted, "Nonsense! Those two have gone mad!"

Old Pang's voice wasn't actually very loud. But since he was one of the two most high-ranking individuals present, everyone's attention was actually on him.

So even though he lowered his voice, it still made everyone else look over.

Seeing he had drawn so much attention on the spot, Old Pang's gaze swept over a few people and finally settled on Ai Li, who was accompanying Princess Xi.

He pondered for a moment and then said to Princess Xi, "Princess, I have an urgent matter to attend to on my side."

"For the continuation of the tour, Ai Li, the Member of Parliament, will temporarily accompany you."

Seeing Old Pang's livid face, Princess Xi also knew that something significant must have happened.

So she said, "Alright. Old Pang, feel free to attend to it."

Having gained Princess Xi's understanding, Old Pang nodded slightly, then left the Red Mountain scenic area with a stern face and large strides.

Watching his hasty back, both Princess Xi and Kou Yu were lost in thought, and the reception group from Red Mountain City also looked puzzled, unaware of what had happened.....

So, it wasn't long before a stream of text messages was quietly sent out, all probing for information from various parties.....

.....

"Boom! Boom!"

At 3 p.m., on the main road outside Eastern City, a long line of troop transport vehicles advanced in a mighty procession.

In the transport vehicles, soldiers were fully armed and in high spirits. Dust rose behind the vehicles, like a gray dragon sweeping across the land!

Eastern City, having already received notice by this time, had set up defensive works on the main road.

Lined up in rows, fully armed soldiers were standing there tensely.

And Huang Shangzong's old acquaintance, Deputy Speaker of Dongye State, Ye Mingfeng, stood at the forefront with a livid face.

Perhaps due to the emotional excitement, this "Bloody Butcher" exuded a bloodthirsty aura all over him.

Watching the vehicle convoy stop, Huang Shangzong was the first to step out of the car. Ye Mingfeng shouted angrily at Huang Shangzong, "Huang Shangzong! Have you gone mad?!"

"Do you know how great a crime it is to mobilize the army privately without authorization? Are you trying to rebel?!"

Upon hearing Ye Mingfeng's words, Huang Shangzong responded with a livid face, his Fifth-Order Calamity Being aura surging in waves.

He ignored Ye Mingfeng completely, instead speaking coldly, "Get Qiu Tu out here! This matter is between him and me! It has nothing to do with anyone else!"

Ye Mingfeng looked at Huang Shangzong's irritable state, his brow furrowed, and having worked alongside Huang Shangzong for a long time, he felt something was off. But he couldn't articulate what exactly.
