Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 458 Murder in the Midnight

Chapter 457: Murder in the middle of the night

In the middle of the night, Chen Ding left the palace and was returning to his mansion. Zhang Di died. It was a good opportunity for both Chen Ding and King Xiang Kuang of Chu, because when Zhang Di died, he was held in prison by Zhang Di. The military power of the Chu State that was in control suddenly appeared to be unoccupied, not to say that there was no one left in the Chu State, but because Zhang Di died, and the entire Chu State military could no longer find anyone who could compete with Zhang Di in terms of prestige. The same to the extent that one person dominates, whether it is Yu Zilong, Chen Feng, Jiang Zi, these three one of the four generals under the command of Zhang Difu Li Chu, they are just half a catty with each other, and no one obeys the other. Wang Xiangkuang and Chen Ding's careful thinking caused the position of the general of Chu to remain undecided.

Chen Ding sat on the carriage, full of thoughts. Yu Zilong and Chen Feng were assassinated one after another. Chen Ding had a premonition that an unprecedented turmoil was about to take place, which made Chen Ding feel very frightened. The chaos, the brothers of the Long family who held a heavy army brazenly launched a mutiny, which split the state of Chu, one of the top powers in the world, into two, and was finally destroyed by the state of Qi one after another. I'm afraid that the state of Chu has long since disappeared into the dust of history, but now Chen Ding seems to have seen the scene ten years ago again.

Just now, Chen Ding was still in the palace discussing with Chu King Xiang Kuang how to help Chen Feng sit on the throne of the general, but Chen Ding noticed that Xiang Kuang had a different view of Chen Feng. The unscrupulous sending of people to assassinate Yu Zilong made Xiang Kuang wary of Chen Feng, and he no longer had the kind of trust in Chen Feng that he had before. Although Chen Feng was still inclined to take over the position of general, Xiang Kuang Obviously wary of it.

The overall situation is uncertain, but there is a crack in his own side, which makes Chen Ding very tired, but Chen Ding can understand Xiang Kuang. After all, Chen Feng's subordinates are too crazy. Without any order, they brazenly assassinated the general in the army. This has never happened in the century-old history of Chu State. It is no wonder that Xiang Kuang is worried. After all, today's generals under Chen Feng can assassinate Yu Zilong for the position of a general. , Then will this group of people come to assassinate Xiang Kuang?
While Chen Ding was sitting in the carriage and thinking wildly, the streets of Pengcheng in the middle of the night were full of dangers. In a dark corner not far from the carriage, a middle-aged man and several soldiers wearing Chu army uniforms were hiding in the here.

"General Zhang, the target person has appeared!" A soldier said to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was Zhang Cong, a trusted general of Zhang Chuan. The reason why he appeared here was because of Yu Zilong and the Zhang brothers. He was given an order to ambush Chen Ding, the prime minister of the current dynasty.

Yu Zilong and the Zhang family brothers are desperate this time. In addition to sending Zhang Cong to ambush Chen Ding, there are several other people in ambush outside the mansion of Chen Feng and Jiang Zi, and they will launch a fierce attack on them at any time. Zhang Chuan left behind a relatively deep foundation, otherwise it would be strange if so many soldiers were mobilized in Pengcheng without being discovered.

In the dark, Zhang Cong glanced at the carriage that was driving, nodded silently, then raised his long-handed worker, bent his bow and set an arrow at the groom. Although he was in the dark and his vision was not very good, Zhang Cong was still a soldier after all. Zhang Cong is still very sure that the distance here is not too far, so Zhang Cong let go of the bow, and an arrow shot out through the air.

The groom who was driving for Chen Ding was leisurely and leisurely. He was already not far from Chen Ding's mansion. As long as he returned to the mansion, he could rest. Little did he know that the murderous intent had come, and the groom heard the arrow in the quiet street. The sound of the arrow coming through the air, I couldn't help looking up, and vaguely saw something flying towards me, before I had time to think about it, an arrow went straight to his chest, and the groom yelled and fell off the cart.

Chen Ding in the carriage also heard the groom's cry before he died, and his expression changed drastically. Soon, a large number of elite soldiers surrounded Chen Ding's guards and the carriage. Chen Ding sighed, and finally it was his turn So he walked out of the carriage slowly and recognized Zhang Cong, Zhang Cong's confidant at a glance, but at the moment he saw Zhang Cong's forehead, Chen Ding looked solemn, because he saw Zhang Cong and his men Came in armor, that is to say, it was not an assassination, but an ambush.

A few days ago, whether it was Chen Feng's men who assassinated Yu Zilong or Zhang Hai sent people to assassinate Chen Feng, although everyone guessed who did it, but the ones who were sent were all dead soldiers, and they all covered it up very well, and did not stab him. The layer of window paper was broken, but now Zhang Cong is blatantly leading troops to surround him. Does this mean that Yu Zilong has decided to tear his face apart.

Thinking of this, Chen Feng's mind became confused, suppressing the worries in his heart, and asked Zhang Cong who was not far away: "General Zhang, why did you bring the troops here late at night and don't know why?"

Faced with Chen Ding's questioning, Zhang Cong sneered and said, "Why did I come here? With Mr. Chen's intelligence, it wouldn't be clear, right? Why should Mr. Chen ask questions knowingly!"

"It seems that you are going to tear your face apart completely. Aren't you afraid of becoming the eternal sinner of Da Chu?" After hearing Zhang Cong's words, Chen Ding finally verified what he thought in his heart. He took his own life, but Chen Ding still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. He bet that Yu Zilong would not dare to bear the infamy of the eternal sinner of Chu State.

But this time, Chen Ding, who is always resourceful, miscalculated, and Zhang Cong replied coldly: "The eternal sinner of Great Chu? Who is the eternal sinner of Great Chu? If there is no General Zhang Di, you nobles He has been killed by the people of Qi long ago, how can he have the prestige of Chen Xiang as the prime minister of a country? Now that the general has just passed away, you are going to drive all the family members of the general to death, and really push the great Chu into the abyss It's you!"

Chen Ding knew that today might be more dangerous than good, so he yelled at the guards: "Hurry up, turn around, break out of the siege, and retreat to General Chen Feng's house!" Now that there is no room for relaxation, Chen Ding hurriedly Let the guards break through, and Chen Ding is not stupid. He knows that if he breaks out to his mansion, he may not be able to escape Zhang Cong's pursuit. He can only retreat to Chen Feng's mansion. Chen Ding is safe!

Seeing that Chen Ding was still thinking of running away at this time, Zhang Cong gave the order: "Kill! Don't take him alive!" With one order, all the elites went to kill Chen Ding.

Chen Ding's guards were only a dozen or so, while Zhang Cong brought hundreds of elite soldiers, and they were all elite soldiers from the Southern and Northern Wars. How could Chen Ding's mere guards be able to resist it?

Soon, all of Chen Ding's guards were killed by Zhang Cong's men, and Chen Ding was also captured alive. Zhang Cong walked up to Chen Ding and said indifferently: "Chen Xiang, I don't know when you plotted against us , have you ever thought that you have today too?"

Knowing that he was doomed, Chen Ding's face was ashen, and he smiled miserably: "Zhang Cong, do you know what you are doing? I am the prime minister of the dynasty, and if you kill me, it is tantamount to plotting chaos. Think about it clearly. But it is a great crime to punish the Nine Clans!"

"There is no need for Chen Xiang to worry about this. Since I dare to do this, I have thought about the consequences. Come and send Chen Xiang on the road!" Zhang Cong was not frightened by Chen Ding, but directly sent someone to send Chen Ding on the road Soon, Chen Ding was dragged down by the soldiers and hacked to death!
The scene on the streets of Pengcheng was just a corner of the turmoil. When Zhang Cong ambushed and killed Chen Ding, the soldiers ambushing outside the mansions of Chen Feng and Jiang Zi also launched a fierce attack on their mansions. Assassinated, so I was fully prepared for my own defense, so there was no problem, but Jiang Zi was not so lucky. The Jiang family, which only had dozens of guards in the family, was breached at once, except for Jiang Zi. Relying on his own strong strength, except for killing out under the desperate protection of the guards, the rest of the Jiang family died in the Jiang family except Jiang Lin, the eldest son of Jiang who killed out with Jiang Zi.

Pengcheng is destined to be sleepless tonight. Chen Ding, Jiang Zi, and Chen Feng, the three most powerful and powerful figures in Chu State today, were attacked at the same time. Among them, Chen Ding died, and Jiang Zi's whole family died except for the eldest son. , and although Chen Feng was safe and sound, dozens of his subordinates died, and the whole Pengcheng was shrouded in a cloud!
