Your fiefdom gains one soldier every second, what should you do, Queen Mother?

Chapter 142: After practicing hard for a long time, just to kill with one move!

Ying Xuanze was completely stunned, and so were the other generals. The great general of Daying was killed by a weak scholar?

"You said you killed him, how did you do it?" Ying Xuanze also felt it was too illusory. How could the man in front of him kill a general who had experienced hundreds of battles?

Generally speaking, people of high position and power like Huang Chan would do a good job in ensuring the safety of their mansion. Therefore, if the murderer wanted to kill Huang Chan in the capital, he must be able to enter and exit the general's mansion easily.

Secondly, Huang Chan’s skills are quite strong. Unless he is suddenly killed in his sleep, a fight is inevitable.

Battle-hardened generals like them are extremely sensitive to murderous intent and can react immediately if they detect even a hint of it.

He could not think of any other possibility except that he was a close bodyguard hired by Huang Chan, as he could enter and leave the general's mansion at will and had strong martial arts skills.

So he looked Zishang up and down, but was surprised to find that this man had no signs of martial arts training, and even from his eyes he didn't look like a guard or a killer.

He bent down to look at Huang Chan's head. Huang Chan's expression before death was frozen in fear, which meant that he died very suddenly, or that he did not expect to die...

Ying Xuanze felt that this person was not simple. He asked solemnly, "You don't know martial arts, right?"

Zi Shang smiled and nodded, "Yes, I am just a thin man who only knows how to please women. I don't know any martial arts."

"Then how did you kill Huang Chan? An ordinary person can't do it. I can even boldly say that you killed Huang Chan with one blow."

Huo Qubing, Yue Fei and the others all looked over in shock. Killed with one strike? This skinny scholar in front of them?

Zi Shang just smiled as usual. He exclaimed: "As expected of General Ying who has achieved unprecedented feats. Yes, I am Huang Chan who killed with one blow."

"But as you said, I really don't know martial arts. I was able to kill Huang Chan only because I only practiced one move from beginning to end."

"I practiced over and over again just to be able to kill someone with one blow, and the fact is that I did it."

Zishang's face was full of pride when he said this, and Ying Xuanze believed that he was not lying.

Just practicing a move over and over again doesn't really require any martial arts skills, it's just a form of gamble.

If you win the bet, you can defeat the enemy in one move. If you lose the bet, you will be killed by the enemy.

Ying Xuanze narrowed his eyes and continued, "Then let me ask you one more question, are you someone close to Huang Chan?"

This time, Zishang laughed even more happily. Ying Xuanze frowned, and Yue Fei drew his sword and put it on his neck.

"What are you laughing at? This is the Marquis! Be polite!"

"If Lord Xiao knew my identity, would he be able to control his emotions? I'm afraid you would kill me on the spot." Zishang said in a low voice.

Ying Xuanze asked Yue Fei to put away the sword. He said in a deep voice: "You said, I won't kill you. I, Ying Xuanze, am not a petty person."

Zi Shang's mouth curled up slightly, and he whispered, "I am someone close to the Queen Mother, her favorite lover."

Ying Xuanze's pupils suddenly shrank, and his hand subconsciously pressed the hilt of the sword. He didn't care that this man was a concubine, but he cared that the person behind this man was Wang Ziyin.

Was this man's killing of Huang Chan a personal act or was it instructed by Wang Ziyin? But no matter which one it was, Huang Chan's death completely disrupted his plan.

"So...was it Wang Ziyan who asked you to kill Huang Chan, or did you kill Huang Chan without permission?" Ying Xuanze's tone gradually became cold, and it was obvious that he had the intention to kill.

"Wang Ziyin doesn't want Huang Chan to die. He wants Huang Chan to send troops to avenge you and realize his own plan at the same time."

"Either you die, or Huang Chan dies, and then the military power will be returned to the Wang family."

Ying Xuanze showed an angry expression on his face. He grabbed Zishang by the collar and said angrily, "Give me a reason why you want to kill Huang Chan?"

"Before answering this question, please think about my last sentence."

"Huang Chan sent troops to attack the Marquis. The result is either you die or he dies, and then the military power will be returned to the Wang family. Does this plan remind the Marquis of anything?"

Zishang's voice was extremely magical. After hearing it, Ying Xuanze's brain suddenly sank and he suddenly thought of his father.

Back then, my father was ordered by Wang Ziyan to march into the Baiyue region. Considering the battle at that time, even if the Tiger Guards were not trapped to death, there would have been a large number of casualties due to malaria.

After the Huben Army suffered a crushing defeat, the imperial court actually signed a treaty with the Baiyue people, and the two countries stopped offending each other.

Judging from what Zishang said, isn’t Huang Chan today the father from the past?

They all went to war with Wang Ziyi's decree, but none of them ended up well in the end.

"But if you kill Huang Chan, the 400,000 Yinglong troops will still be incorporated into the Wang family. You are helping that woman Wang Ziyi in disguise!" Ying Xuanze said with narrowed eyes.

"No, no, no. If I let Huang Chan go to fight, I believe that with the Marquis's strength, he will be easily defeated."

"But can the Marquis really control his ambition?" Zishang raised his head and looked at Ying Xuanze.

Ying Xuanze was stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly.

"I don't understand, since you are Wang Ziyan's lover, why would you betray her and join me?" Ying Xuanze said while signaling with his eyes for everyone to leave the city wall.

Zi Shang also waited for the people on the tower to leave before he spoke: "Because all 193 people in my Chen family, except me, died at her hands."

Ying Xuanze suddenly glanced at Zishang, frowned slightly and said, "Chen family? But the Chen family of Prime Minister Chen Jieren?"

When hearing the name Chen Jieren, Ying Xuanze noticed that Zishang's eyelids twitched slightly.

"Yes, Prime Minister Chen Jieren is my father." Zishang's tone was a little weak.

"In order to seize power, Wang Ziyin and Wang Yi falsely accused my father of treason. All members of my Chen family, young and old, were killed. If it weren't for my unique appearance that caught her eye, I would have been a wandering ghost by now, right?"

"It was also because of this case that Daying no longer had a prime minister position, only a grand marshal position. I have always remembered this incident, and I dare not forget the experience of that day for a moment!"

Zishang, or rather Chen Zishang, clenched his fists tightly with anger in his eyes.

Ying Xuanze sighed, "My father was also very confused about the case of Prime Minister Chen. He said that Prime Minister Chen Jieren was loyal and a pillar of Great Ying."

"I don't think such a person would betray Daying. But the files at that time pointed all the evidence to Prime Minister Chen."

"After the Chen family was executed, the position of prime minister was abolished because of treason, and the Grand Marshal and Grand Tutor were appointed to replace the prime minister."

"It turns out that it was really an injustice. No wonder it snowed in August... The world owes Prime Minister Chen an apology."
