Chapter 185: King Cheng, the King of Dong Liao, proclaims himself emperor!
There is a possibility that the Wan Du Men is related to the death of the former queen fifteen years ago!
There was a knock on the window.
"Enter!"
Feng Wu comes in.
"Should we get rid of him?"
Shen Lanxi: "No, keeping him will be useful for the time being. Fifth brother, let Sixth Senior Sister go to the capital to find out the cause of death of the former queen, as well as the Ten Thousand Poison Sect and the poison masters who have been in the capital in the past fifteen years!"
Feng Wu: “Good.”
After one night, more people came to Liucheng.
"General, the army of the King of Eastern Liao has stopped and set up camp 80 miles west of Ganzhou Road!"
Shen Lanxi: "Keep an eye on the King of Dong Liao and see if he sends anyone to contact King Cheng!"
"yes!"
As she expected, in less than half a day, the outpost came to report the news.
"The King of Dong Liao has sent an envoy to find King Cheng."
Shen Lanxi: "Explore again!"
Another day passed and there was still no news. Zhao Chengkai couldn't wait any longer!
"General Shen, don't forget His Majesty's secret order!" These words were both a reminder and a warning.
Shen Lanxi: "Does General Zhao have any good ideas? If so, please share them."
Zhao Chengkai's face froze. He just urged Shen Lanxi to send troops and assassins quickly, and did not want to give her any advice.
"No!"
"If you don't have any, just hold it in!" Shen Lanxi said mercilessly.
Zhao Chengkai felt as if he had been slapped in the face, and he almost couldn't suppress his anger.
"General Shen, this military supervisor is just reminding you with good intentions!" Don't take my kindness for granted.
Shen Lanxi: "I have been fighting for such a long time, do I need you to remind me?"
Is she giving Zhao Chengkai too much face?
"If General Zhao has any good ideas, just speak them out. I will never stop my soldiers from carrying them out!"
Zhao Chengkai had a lot of ideas, but he didn't want to tell Shen Lanxi.
If she fails to complete the task assigned to her by His Majesty this time, it means she is incompetent.
How can an incompetent person lead an army?
"General Shen, you are joking. I am just a military supervisor. Things like making plans and leading troops to attack still need the general to do it!"
He is not in the position to do so!
Shen Lanxi: "Then you are just reminding me in vain. Do I need your reminder?"
Zhao Chengkai's face flushed red and he was so angry that he was about to explode.
Women are women, they only know how to quarrel and be petty, and they don’t have any courage at all!
Shen Lanxi glanced at Zhao Chengkai, and seeing that he looked unconvinced and unable to do anything to her, she sneered in her heart.
"Follow my orders and wait for the opportunity!"
"yes!"
After Zhao Chengkai returned, he immediately wrote a letter to the capital, and sent it by flying eagle. However, he was worried that there might be accidents during the delivery, so he arranged for an express train to send the letter to the capital day and night, covering 800 miles!
Two days later, breaking news came from Ganzhou. King Cheng announced to the world that the current emperor had forged an imperial edict to ascend the throne, and in order to cover up the truth about the death of the former crown prince, he had cruelly treated and poisoned the queen mother!
The news spread like wildfire, and its impact shook the entire Zhou Dynasty!
The former crown prince and King Cheng are both descendants of the Queen Mother. The former crown prince, Zhou Chengyun, has been placed with high hopes since he was born. He was given the name Yun in the hope that he would inherit the country's destiny and unify the world!
Zhou Chengyun grew up with expectations. He was talented in both literature and martial arts, and was resourceful. All the other princes pale in comparison to him. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. That year, Prince Li forced the emperor to abdicate, and the former crown prince died at the hands of Prince Li in order to protect the emperor. This led to the birth of Zhou Chengqian, the current Emperor Renxiao.
King Cheng announced to the world that there was something strange about the former crown prince's death. The world is about to be in turmoil again!
Two days later, King Cheng announced again that he would ascend the throne in five days and inherit his brother's posthumous title as Emperor Zhongyong.
After hearing the news, Zhao Chengkai couldn't help but look for Shen Lanxi.
“General Shen, are you going to watch the traitor ascend the throne and disrupt our Great Zhou country?”
Shen Lanxi: "Tell me, how can I, with my five thousand soldiers, fight against King Cheng's army of hundreds of thousands?"
Zhao Chengkai's face turned red with anger.
"If we don't succeed, we will die. We, the loyal ministers and generals, have already prepared to fight and die for the Great Zhou at any time!"
Shen Lanxi: "I'm not ready, and neither are my soldiers. If you're ready, go!"
Zhao Chengkai was so angry that his fingers were shaking as he pointed at Shen Lanxi.
"I was wondering how a woman could be a general. You are afraid of death and are unworthy of the title of General who Suppresses Rebellion bestowed upon you by His Majesty. I will write to His Majesty and punish you for retreating from the battlefield!"
Shen Lanxi: "Okay! I will lend you 5,000 soldiers and horses, and you can go and fight King Cheng. After you die, I will definitely write to His Majesty to posthumously confer a title on you!"
Zhao Chengkai almost vomited blood from anger.
Who wants to be conferred?
"Chen Lanxi, you are the general who suppressed the rebellion. If you dare to retreat in battle, I will exercise my duty as the military supervisor and execute you!"
Shen Lanxi sneered: "I gave you three points of color, and you really dare to open a dyeing factory!"
A sneer sounded, and Liu Yanhui and others looked at Zhao Chengkai with disapproval.
They all treated him like a clown, watching him act funny. Did he really think of himself as a human being?
"Chen Lanxi, how dare you insult me? I was sent by His Majesty himself."
Shen Lanxi looked over coldly: "If you were not sent by His Majesty himself, you would have been dead when you came here!"
Zhao Chengkai was furious and drew his knife.
In an instant, dozens of swords were drawn and pointed at him.
Zhao Chengkai looked around in shock. He was sent by the emperor himself. These people pointed swords at him, which was equivalent to pointing swords at the emperor!
"Are you planning to rebel?"
Shen Lanxi sneered: "If I kill you, there is still Wu Tong!"
What's the meaning?
Zhao Chengkai felt something was wrong and turned around to run.
As soon as he turned around, he was stabbed through!
He looked down in disbelief and said, "You dare to kill me, aren't you afraid of His Majesty's punishment?"
Liu Yanhui said with a smile: "Did we kill him? It was obviously because Zhao Jianjun was eager to gain merit and failed to assassinate King Cheng, so he was hacked to pieces by King Cheng's men!"
Shen Lanxi: “Not bad!”
Zhao Chengkai opened his eyes wide and died with his eyes open!
Qian Feng dragged Zhao Chengkai out like a dead dog.
"I've long been fed up with this bastard's whining. Kill Qingjing!" Shen Yuanjing said!
Shen Lanxi: "Send the imperial court 800 miles away urgently, Zhao Jianjun has died for our Great Zhou Kingdom!"
"yes!"
After King Cheng proclaimed himself emperor, King Dong Liao was not far behind and announced that he would become emperor. He then issued a very funny imperial edict to expand his harem!
"One is busy using his brother and mother to become emperor, and the other is busy finding women to have children to become emperor. What's going on with the royal family of the Great Zhou?" Liu Yan replied in confusion.
Cheng Zheng wrote: "The more chaotic, the better!"
Qian Feng: "General, do you want to light the signal smoke?" The combined forces of King Cheng and King Dong Liao exceed 300,000, while they only have 5,000.
Shen Lanxi: "No, wait a little longer!"
Liu Yanhui's eyes flickered: "Why is there still no news about Wei Dongzhu?"
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao, the next day, Wei Dongzhu came back!
"General, the King of the Northwest is willing to form an alliance with us!"
Shen Lanxi's eyes fell on him: "Conditions?"
Wei Dongzhu: "There are no conditions. The King of the Northwest is already on his way to Gannan Road with his army. They will arrive before dark tomorrow!"
