Chapter 1039 He Can’t

Sheng Ze looked at Zhao Ling quietly and spoke slowly, "Others can surrender and not be killed, but he can't."

As long as King Zhao was around, he would never be able to truly subdue King Zhao's army. Only when King Zhao died would others stop having any inappropriate thoughts.

When Zhao Ling heard that he didn't have to die, he felt relieved. But the next moment, he saw Ling Yun pierce Zhao Bing's body with a sword. His heart was lifted again, "Zhao Bing!"

This shout was made out of inertia, but to Zhao Bing's ears, it was a different feeling.

Zhao Bing covered his bleeding chest with one hand, turned his head with difficulty, and made an expression that was uglier than crying, "Brother, I didn't expect that you would be by my side in the end."

Before he could finish his words, Zhao Bing fell down.

Zhao Ling's body was icy cold, and the little thought that had just emerged in his mind was completely extinguished. He shouted: "We surrender! Your Highness, please keep your promise and stop killing us."

I’m afraid my father never understood until his death that they were defeated by a small flower formation.

Sheng Ze returned the gun to Xu Yang, "I leave this to you."

After saying that, he rode away with Lingyun.

Ling Yun glanced back and sighed, "I never thought that King Zhao would die so easily."

No wonder Master always says that life and death are determined by fate, success depends on heaven, isn’t that the case?

King Zhao planned for many years, but died overnight. Even if there were some remaining troops of King Zhao, they would not be able to achieve anything without someone to lead them.

As for Zhao Ling, the prince of Zhao, he will be kept as a rich and idle man and kept under surveillance in the future.

"Easily" Sheng Ze shook his head, "One general's success is built on the sacrifices of thousands of soldiers."

King Zhao wanted to kill him, so he fought back and took back the six northwestern states. All this seemed reasonable, but in fact it was paid for with the lives of countless soldiers from northern Hubei and King Zhao's army.

War is never easy.

Ling Yun fell silent after hearing this.

He understood everything his master said, but this attack on Chenzhou, including the assassination of King Zhao just now, was too smooth. He subconsciously felt relieved and didn't think too much about it.

If you think about it carefully, they made countless preparations for this day, and even the whole Ezhou served it. It seems easy, but the effort behind it cannot be calculated at all.

The two of them rode at full speed all the way back to the Chenzhou government office, and happened to meet Zheng Shicheng coming back from outside.

"Uncle Zheng, thank you for your hard work." Sheng Ze dismounted and stepped forward.

It goes without saying that King Zhao had not managed Chenzhou carefully before, and he might have left a mess for him.

Zheng Shicheng quickly bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Your Highness. These are all within my responsibilities, so it's not hard work."

The two of them walked in side by side, and Zheng Shicheng took the opportunity to give Sheng Ze a brief report on the current situation in the government office.

"The account books they left behind are not worth checking. I have asked the Sixth Miss to take people to register the situation inside the government office first."

When Sheng Ze heard that Shen Qingqian was coming, a hint of tenderness flashed across his eyes.

We met briefly in the army yesterday, and then we both went about our own business. I didn't expect her to come so soon.

After Zheng Shicheng finished speaking, Sheng Ze gave a few pointers, paused, and said, "Put the Sixth Miss in Anlan Courtyard."

Yesterday he took a quick look at the layout of the government office. Anlanyuan was in the middle of the backyard of the government office. It was very quiet, convenient to get to anywhere, and close to the large study where he handled official business.

Zheng Shicheng paused, then quickly agreed, "I was inconsiderate. I'll have someone arrange it right away."

He had been so busy recently that he had forgotten that Shen Qingqian was a woman and had not considered her accommodation problem at all.

It seems that His Highness treats the Sixth Miss differently.
