The king of Chen was as clear as the clear autumn sky, and he deeply realized a harsh fact. When the enemy approached the city and every breath was accompanied by crisis, he knew that most people might choose to surrender in exchange for survival, but as a king, he could not retreat or compromise at all! He was clearly aware that once the city fell, he would inevitably face death. Facing the indifference of the guarding general, the anger of the king of Chen was like a burning flame, which could not be suppressed. "What are you doing? Do you want to betray me and rebel against the country?" The king's voice echoed in the empty palace, full of anger and majesty as a king. Hearing this, the guard general's face turned pale instantly.

Betrayal?

No,

He had never had such an idea!

He had always been loyal to guard the palace and the Kingdom of Chen.

However, the reality was cruel. When the enemy general Xu Chu wielded his sword and forcibly smashed the gate of the palace, the rain of arrows ruthlessly took the lives of his soldiers like a storm.

He could only watch helplessly, because the enemy in front of him was too powerful. He felt unprecedented powerlessness, and the fear in his heart surged like a tide.

"King, what do you mean? Do you want us to die?"

The guard general stared at the king angrily, his eyes full of confusion and accusation.

"In your eyes, are we low-ranking soldiers not human beings?"

He questioned, staring at the king with his eyes fixed.

Seeing such a general, the King of Chen was slightly stunned, and then his anger erupted like a volcano.

"What do you mean? Will you no longer obey my orders? If you don't want to rebel, what do you want to do?"

The king's voice echoed in the empty palace, full of endless anger and the majesty of the king.

However,

After hearing this, the guard general suddenly laughed. "Good! Good! Good! Since you think I will rebel, then I will rebel for you to see!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed towards the king, raised the sword in his hand and put it on the king's neck.

In an instant,

The face of the King of Chen turned pale, but he did not show any panic.

"Do you want to kill me to win the credit for the enemy, and then survive yourself?"

The king's voice was cold and firm. He tried to arouse the general's patriotism and let him reconsider his choice.

However,

The guard general's answer disappointed him.

"Yes, as long as I kill you and give your head to the enemy, they will definitely let me go."

He sneered and said: "My king, as long as you sacrifice one person, you can save many people. You should give your life gloriously!" As soon as the voice fell,

The King of Chen looked at the guard general in front of him in disbelief.

Is this still the general who once fought bloody battles for him and swore to defend the country to death?

"You...you are betraying Chen, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by future generations?"

His voice trembled, unable to accept the reality in front of him.

In his cognition, the guard general should have difficulties and unspeakable secrets.

However, reality gave him a loud slap in the face, making him understand that all this was an illusion.

The guard general didn't care, but laughed at his idea: "Riddle? First of all, you have to survive, right? Besides, after I die, how others evaluate me, does it really matter?"

His words were full of indifference and ruthlessness, which made people shudder.

"I don't know anyway, so what does it matter what others say!"

As the king of Chen, he has always been high and mighty, but he didn't expect to encounter such a betrayal.

A courtier accused him: "As a king, you are so naive!"

The guard general sneered and mercilessly slashed the neck of the king of Chen.

In an instant,

blood gushed out from the king's neck like a fountain, dyeing everything around red.

Because the guard general had heard the footsteps of Xu Chu and his men coming in, he immediately swung his knife to kill the king without hesitation, and then turned to face Xu Chu who rushed in.

Xu Chu looked at the corpse on the ground and asked the guard general coldly: "Did you kill him?"

The guard general was stunned, not knowing what Xu Chu meant by this, but nodded: "Yes, sir!"

Xu Chu smiled slightly, with a flash of contempt and disdain in his eyes.

What he disliked most was this

A person who betrays his master for fame and fortune.

"Those who betray their master for fame and fortune will not be tolerated by heaven and earth!"

As soon as the voice fell,

Xu Chu swung his sword without hesitation to kill the guarding general, and then looked coldly at the court officials present.

In an instant,

The court officials all lowered their heads in fear, breathing carefully, for fear of angering Xu Chu.

They were filled with fear and dared not make any sound.

Xu Chu killed the guarding generals at a disagreement. Once they were targeted by him, they would not be able to escape death.

The court at this moment was like the Chongzhen Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty. Except for a few people lamenting, many court officials wished that the king would die sooner.

However, they all knew that the most important thing now was to survive, and everything else was no longer important.

"Luka."

"I'm here!"

"I order you to lead your troops immediately and quickly control the palace. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

"I obey!"

Following Xu Chu's stern order, Luka immediately led a team of elite soldiers to leave quickly and disappeared in Xu Chu's eyes.

Soon after, there were bursts of fierce shouting and killing in the palace, but they soon stopped.

Then,

Bursts of crying came out, including the crying of children and the sobbing of women.

However,

Xu Chu didn't care about it. He turned around and stared at the courtiers of Chen State with a sharp gaze.

"Who among you knows where the treasury is?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the courtiers of Chen State looked at each other, but no one dared to speak.

Because they were worried that they would be killed by Xu Chu as soon as they opened their mouths.

Xu Chu was furious when he saw this, and said sternly:

"Assholes, you bunch of rubbish, you don't even know where the treasury is, what's the point of keeping it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a court official spoke cautiously: "Sir... Sir... I... I know where the treasury is."

Xu Chu paused for a moment and said:

"Lead the way!"

"Yes!"

The court official carefully led Xu Chu to the front door of the treasury.

"Sir, this is the treasury."

Xu Chu raised his eyes slightly and said coldly: "Open the door!"

"Sir... Sir... I... I don't have the key."

Xu Chu seemed a little impatient, he quickly drew out the sword at his waist, the sword flashed, and the door of the treasury fell down.

The court official was frightened by this scene and lost control of his bowels and bladder.

"You stay here, no one is allowed to enter without my order!"

Xu Chu ordered the soldiers behind him with a serious expression.

"Yes! General!"

Xu Chu did not enter the treasury. He had no interest in treasure, but he knew that Ying Mo liked it!

Just when Xu Chu was about to turn around and leave, Zheng He strode in.

Xu Chu raised his eyes slightly and nodded to him.

"General, the king has been killed, the palace has been completely controlled by us, and the treasury has been found."

"Next, what should you do?"

Zheng He frowned and said to Xu Chu: "General Xu Chu, please lead the army immediately and eliminate all the troops in Chen."

"Okay!"

Then Xu Chu led the army away.

But the army guarding the door did not move!

Just when Zheng He wanted to enter the treasury,

A soldier stopped him: "General, General Xu Chu has an order. No one is allowed to enter the treasury without his order."

Zheng He heard this and his face changed but he didn't say anything.

Then.

Zheng He turned around and said to a personal soldier: "Go and inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Yes!"

The personal soldier turned and left.

Zheng He looked around the palace and showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Although there had been a battle here, the core area of ​​the palace still maintained its solemnity and majesty.

Not long after.

Ying Mo's figure appeared in his sight.

Zheng He saw this and immediately went to meet him.

"Meet the Lord!"

Ying Mo nodded slightly, and then asked: "Where is the treasury?"

"My Lord, please follow me."

Zheng He replied.

Then, the two came to the treasury together.

Ying Mo frowned and asked: "Did Xu Chu do this?"

Zheng He blinked and did not answer.

There seemed to be a deep wisdom hidden in his eyes, which made people unpredictable.

"What a reckless man!"

Ying Mo chuckled, revealing a hint of cunning in his smile, and then turned and walked into the treasury.

As soon as you enter the treasury, you will immediately feel a strong sense of historical vicissitudes, as if you have crossed a thousand years of time and returned to that ancient and glorious country.

There is a heavy historical atmosphere there, which makes people

Awe in the heart.

Inside the treasury, treasures piled up like mountains, all kinds of crystal clear jade, glittering gold, colorful gems, and ancient books and scrolls recording the history of Chen State, all dazzling and dazzling.

Ying Mo glanced at these treasures, but there was no ripple in his heart.

From this moment on, these treasures belonged to the Qin Empire.

There was a greedy light in his eyes, as if he was a plunderer who robbed everything.

He would not be soft-hearted about any form of wealth, and he must take them all.

"Pack all these treasures and transport them back to Xianyang City."

Ying Mo ordered, his tone firm and decisive.

"Yes, lord!"

Zheng He paused for a moment, then said: "Lord, Chen State has a very advantageous geographical location and is very close to Daqin. I think we can use this advantage to build Chen State into our port and use it as a base to conquer the whole world!"

As soon as this was said,

Ying Mo nodded: "That's right! In this case, leave some money for construction, and you will be responsible for this matter."

"Yes! Lord."

Zheng He replied, with a firm determination in his eyes.

For the next few months, Zheng He was busy organizing people and building new ports. He gave full play to his wisdom and ability, and worked hard to build Chen State into a maritime base of the Daqin Empire.

At the same time, Chen State was renamed Chen County and officially became a part of Daqin.

This change marked the further expansion of the territory of the Daqin Empire.
