From a small soldier in the frontier army, an immortal god of war was born

Chapter 131 The Emperor is Ruthless and Has an Iron-Blooded Manipulation

At this critical moment, the old man no longer had the heart to think about what was going on and stretched out his hand to brush it away.

However, he didn't expect that the arrow would penetrate his palm as if it were an illusion, and then go straight into his heart.

hum!
An indescribable mysterious power instantly made his head buzz. Although the damage did not break the protective spiritual energy, it still caused him to lose consciousness for a moment.

Bang!
With just this delay, Lu Buwei kicked him away in mid-air and caught the blood jade of the country.

"No! My blood jade!"

The old man fell straight down from the sky, his eyes fixed on the sky. He was extremely unwilling and could not accept the fact that the blood jade he had obtained was snatched away.

Suddenly, he glanced down inadvertently and saw the young general in red armor slowly putting down his longbow, which still retained the same aura as the arrow.

It's him!

Wu Fengdeng!
The old man felt suffocated. He never thought that his chance to become a king would be lost in the hands of this young man at the Tongjing realm!

At this time, the opportunity had fallen into Lu Buwei's hands.

He didn't hesitate. With a fierce look in his eyes, he bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The blood jade was instantly covered in blood.

"It's done?!"

Lu Buwei's heart beat faster and heavier, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up between the beats.

However, after two full breaths of time, not a single bit of his blood seeped in, which instantly froze the smile on his face.

"No response. Is Ying Zheng still alive? Did those idiots from Zhao fail?!"

When he was horrified, a strong wind suddenly blew around him. The blood jade in his hand seemed to sense something and flew out of his hand with violent trembling.

"what!"

Lu Buwei stretched out his hand to grab it, but he couldn't touch it at all. He could only watch the blood jade of the imperial dynasty fly away and fall into a big hand below.

Everything was silent but for the clanging sound of the black dragon armor, and the irresistible might of the king could be heard in every corner of Xianyang.

Ying Zheng stood on the dragon chariot, looked up calmly, his golden eyes reflecting the sky above the palace, and everyone on it trembled.

"Your Majesty!"

With tears in his eyes and a mournful voice, Xu Ran staggered down with those old friends in the Cang Qi Realm.

"I have failed to fulfill my duty in protecting the palace. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Ying Zheng ignored him and continued to stand with his hands behind his back, looking up into the sky.

"Get down."

Such a casual remark sounded like the roar of a dragon to Lu Buwei and the others, vibrating their eardrums, lifting their hearts, and causing them to stagger down in panic.

"King of ceremonies!"

All the Fire Armor Soldiers and Black Dragon Riders around knelt down and kowtowed. Some of the rebels knelt down with weak legs, while others simply ran away and were beheaded by the Black Dragon Riders who had been on alert for a long time.

Their king is coming!

Wu Fengdeng's face was pale. After his energy and blood were exhausted, he could only rely on his physical strength to support himself. Then, an arm lifted him up.

"Brother Wu, thank you for your hard work."

Han Fei smiled warmly. There were a few tonic pills on the white jade folding fan. Wu Fengdeng took them all and swallowed them without saying a word. Then he took out a scroll from his pocket and handed it to him, saying, "That's about it. There are still some who will surrender today."

"Among the civil and military officials in the court, there are actually eight points."

Han Fei looked at it and smiled helplessly.

At this point the situation had completely stabilized. Under the maintenance of the Fire Armor Army and the Black Dragon Cavalry, there was already an open-air court in front of the palace, with all the civil and military officials in it.

Most of the people who followed Lu Buwei were so frightened that they turned pale, trembled like a sieve, and could not even stand steadily. Only a few people stood upright.

Ying Zheng stood in front of the door, staring at Lu Buwei who was standing in front. Two masters of the Cang Qi Realm beside him had tied up his hands and feet and were holding him down so that he could not move.

"Prime Minister Lu, I asked you to supervise the country, but I didn't ask you to rebel! You are causing chaos in the court under the pretext of clearing the emperor's side. I trust and respect you!"

Lu Buwei knew that he had no way out, so he simply kept silent and lowered his head.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

At this time, Lu Yao stumbled over, knelt on the ground and knocked his head, and said in a sad voice: "My father was bewitched and deceived by Guo Kai of Zhao State to rebel. It was not his own will. I beg the king to show mercy for our past friendship!"

Ying Zheng squinted at his former childhood playmate on the ground, his eyes devoid of any tenderness, and said coldly: "The crime of treason is unforgivable, and he should be executed according to the law. Lu Buwei's cultivation will be abolished, and he will be thrown into death row and executed in the autumn."

"The entire Lu family was executed."

"Here!"

"Have mercy, Your Majesty! Please have mercy on us, we have been together since childhood..."

The shrill screams were quickly drowned out by the crowd. Ying Zheng then looked at the ministers and said coldly, "Anyone who participated in Lu Buwei's rebellion, or who stood by and watched the rebellion, will be regarded as an accomplice of Cholera and will be executed according to the law. They will be thrown into death row immediately and their entire clan will be executed."

When these words were spoken, all the ministers were so frightened that they fell to the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Please spare my life, my king!"

"We were also forced by Lu Buwei!"

"Your Majesty! It's unfair!"

……

Nine out of ten officials in the court knelt down, which instantly shocked the people watching around. There were so many people!

If they were all killed, with so many officials left vacant, the court would be extremely turbulent!

Xu Ran beside him also frowned slightly, bowed and whispered: "Your Majesty, the rebels should be killed, but those who have not contributed should be punished severely by salary reduction, otherwise many official positions will be vacant, which may cause unrest."

Ying Zheng's face remained as cold as ice, and he said coldly: "Don't think that the Great Qin can't function without you. I have already arranged for candidates for officials at all levels. Anyone who is disloyal to the Great Qin will be regarded as a termite and a tumor, bringing disaster to the world."

"Today the court is full of blood, but tomorrow our Great Qin will surely prosper!"

"All bets!"

"Yes!"

There was an immediate cry of grief on the field, and only a dozen officials were left in the court. Such swift and decisive action was awe-inspiring.

Ying Zheng looked at the remaining people and said, "Rebellion should be killed, loyalty should be rewarded, all of you will be promoted to a higher rank and your salaries will be doubled immediately."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

They all knelt down to express their gratitude, and were so excited that their eyes were filled with tears.

This morning, many people advised them to surrender to Prime Minister Lu. At that time, everyone thought that Prime Minister Lu would succeed in the rebellion. Fortunately, they stuck to their original intentions at that time, otherwise they would regret it now.

"Today, the rebellion was stopped and suppressed. The Fire Armor Army and the Palace Guards have made great contributions. I will immediately reward the vanguard deputy general Wu Fengdeng with a ninth-grade gilded bow and confer the title of Divine Brave Earl!"

"Reward the deputy general of the cavalry, Guo Huan, with a thousand gold coins and a fief of five hundred households. The other warriors will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins and three acres of land."

Ying Zheng seemed to have prepared the reward content in advance. As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Fengdeng and the others knelt down and shouted in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Then Ying Zheng suddenly drew his sword, gleaming coldly towards the sun, and said solemnly: "This rebellion, in addition to the criminal prime minister Lu Buwei and other rebels, there are also forces from the State of Zhao who secretly fanned the flames, which is truly an insult to the prestige of our Great Qin."

"I hereby announce to the whole of China that on the day of the Beginning of Winter, we will launch an attack on Zhao to avenge today's humiliation!"

These words landed on the ground with a resounding sound. When Wu Fengdeng heard them, his pupils shrank slightly and he was quite shocked.

They actually used this as an excuse to attack Zhao!
Since ancient times, active challenges usually have to have a reason, otherwise they will be unfounded, and without a reason, their words will not flow, and unfounded words will give other countries a handle to use against them, thus causing trouble.

The last war against Korea was also waged under the pretext of Ying Zheng being hunted down in Korea, and under the banner of revenge.

Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan, Qi.

According to the order, the next one was indeed Zhao State, but what Wu Fengdeng did not expect was that they would take this opportunity to declare war.

"This not only eliminated Lü Buwei's followers, but also weakened the Queen Mother Huayang's power due to her bad reputation for the assassination last night. Although this was a frame-up by Lü Buwei, Ying Zheng obviously had no intention of clarifying it."

"In this way, the Qin court will be completely cleared of all its followers except for the Ying family. Officials at all levels will be selected by him, and all power will be in his hands."

"That's one reason. The second reason is that by dragging Zhao into the war, it gives him a reason to raise troops against Zhao. No one can find any fault with this. It will also arouse the revengeful anger of Qin's soldiers and directly boost their morale after the war against Han."

"Killing two birds with one stone, absolutely amazing, this young emperor is really smart."

Wu Fengdeng quickly figured out the whole story and couldn't help but admire Ying Zheng's superb imperial skills.

……

Zhao Wuling Great Wall.

This long city, crawling among the mountains, deserts and plains, is like a crouching dragon, quietly guarding the Zhao territory to the south and the Central Plains.

Originally, this place was garrisoned by the Zhao army. However, half a year ago, an army from the Wei State in the Central Plains arrived and promised to assist in the defense.

It was Yang Jianwen's army. With this absolutely powerful man in the Zhenwu realm taking the initiative to garrison there, the State of Zhao was overjoyed. It directly gave up half of the Great Wall for defense, and continuously provided food and grass resources, etc., and even gave up a city on the border as its territory.

You know, the Huns in the north have always been a huge headache for the State of Zhao. Now someone has taken the initiative to share the worries, and he is a powerful person in the Zhenwu realm. This is much more cost-effective than a city and some supplies.

Therefore, Yang Jianwen's army had a place to stay and they have been stationed here till now, and it is quite comfortable.

On the top of the city wall at dusk.

She was still wearing the bright red robe, with light makeup on her beautiful androgynous face, standing on the top of the city looking towards the north.

It is already October, and here in the northern part of the Central Plains one can already feel the heat gradually subsiding; autumn has arrived.

"It will be the beginning of winter next month, and the Hu people will go south to cause chaos."

Yang Jianwen spoke softly, no emotion could be seen in her deep eyes, like a black hole.

In previous years, during late autumn, the northern nomads would invade the south, burning, killing and looting. Although Yang Jianwen had seldom dealt with the Huns before, one of the items in the Guigu graduation examination was to deal with the Huns, so she understood the characteristics of this nomadic people.

Their riding and archery skills were unmatched in the Central Plains. Even the State of Zhao followed suit and created the Hu clothing and riding and archery, which made them famous among the vassal states. This shows how strong their skills were.

The beginning of winter will be next month, which is the time when the Huns will invade the south. Her troops have been preparing for half a year, waiting for them.

"Sir, red date porridge."

Bao'er beside him brought a bowl of steaming red date porridge. Amid the rising hot steam, Yang Jianwen finally showed a hint of helplessness on his face.

"I am already a true warrior."

"Zhenwu is not an immortal, and a girl must take care of herself."

"Just one bowl."

Looking at Bao'er who was smiling in front of him, Yang Jianwen had no choice but to take the red date porridge lovingly and drink it with his head tilted back.

After a moment, she put down the wooden bowl, as if she had thought of something, and her slightly shiny and moist lips closed gently.

"I remember you said something similar in the army half a year ago."

"Yes, I still remember that it was you who taught Wu Fengdeng archery that day."

Bao'er smiled as she spoke, the breeze blowing her hair in front of her forehead. She suddenly realized, "It's been half a year. Back then, Wu Fengdeng was just a little kid, but now he has transformed into the brave Earl of Qin."

"He is also on good terms with Qin King Ying Zheng. Tsk tsk, he can never be wronged in any way."

Yang Jianwen said calmly: "His progress is even greater than what I experienced back then. I am quite pleased."

Baoer turned around in surprise, as if she didn't expect her to say such words of praise, and then curled her lips: "Him? Tsk!"

"He's just a reckless man who only knows how to charge and attack. There are many ways to lead troops in battle, and I'm better than him in every way!"

"Is that so? Then I ask you, why are the six instruments restricted?"

"The six instruments are restrained... uh..."

Baoer narrowed his eyes and tried to recall. After a long while, he relaxed his shoulders and muttered, "Qi Men is too profound. I don't believe Wu Fengdeng can figure it out!"

"You."

Yang Jianwen tapped her head and sighed, "You don't even know the basics by heart, you really deserve a beating."

"I am familiar with..."

Bao'er was surprisingly stunned, then subconsciously looked at her chest. She seemed to remember something and her cheeks turned pink.

"Why is your face red?"

"Huh? No, no!"

……

"Sure enough, without the cultivation of the late stage of Tongjing, this ninth-grade gilded bow with a force of 2,500 kilograms cannot be used freely."

At the Fire Armor Army's training ground, Wu Fengdeng shook his sore right arm, then took a deep breath and continued to hold the black-gold longbow in his hand.

This longbow specially made for him by Ying Zheng has a force of two thousand five hundred kilograms, which is one thousand kilograms more than the one he used before!

With his current cultivation level at the middle stage of Tongjing, he can pull it, and can barely pull it for a full month, but if he wants to pull it continuously and use it freely, it is still difficult for him to do so.

It can only be used in the late stage of menstruation.

Whoosh!
He tensed his arms and shot another arrow. The arrow flew out violently and instantly penetrated a wooden stake two hundred meters away. The remaining force flew parallely for more than three hundred meters before falling down.

Without the [Armor Breaking] attribute, this kind of penetrating power is truly terrifying. If it hits a person, the damage can be imagined.

"Before advancing to the late stage, it is quite suitable to be used occasionally to fight against strong enemies."

Wu Fengdeng nodded with satisfaction, and then threw the bow to Qingdai beside him: "Is the medicine ready?"

She nodded, and while sorting out the mechanism box, she frowned and said, "Master Wu, are you sure you still want to use the Sutra-Suppressing Pill to break through? Last time it was a last resort, and now everything is normal, so there is no rush."

Qingdai clearly remembered his howling during those days in Nanyang City. That kind of pain was unbearable for a human being.

Wu Fengdeng took off his armor and said calmly, "You'll get used to it. You won't die anyway. The key is to endure the pain for a few days and enter the late stage of menstruation."

Now he is the deputy general and the Earl of Divine Bravery. His future opponents will basically be warriors in the Tuodan realm. His shallow cultivation is undoubtedly a fatal shortcoming.

You can't use up your domineering spear intent to kill the enemy every time, right?

So while there were still two top-grade Sutra-shaping Pills left, Wu Fengdeng planned to break through to the late stage directly and improve his cultivation first!

　The chapter of attacking Zhao will begin tomorrow, and at the same time, there will be an attack on the Huns in the north. It will be even more magnificent than the attack on Han. The details have been prepared to ensure that there will be no boring moments throughout the process!
