The male supporting role has been promoted [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 142 The Ancient Tyrant 7
A few days later, Xu Ran received a letter from Chen Le saying that he had followed Xu Ran's orders, and now Zhou Tong was hesitating.
With the ten cities and the digested army in Xu Ran's hands, the army is far more powerful than the Chi family army as a whole.
After a period of integrated training, everything that Xu Ran did was justified, it was really for the benefit of the people, and the treatment in the barracks was much better than before, so these people have now become Xu Ran's loyal followers. Crowded.
General Li turned around and became Xu Ran's loyal subordinate, "Master Ning, are you looking for a subordinate?"
Xu Ran's current position is still a school lieutenant, but General Li believes that his ability is fully capable of being a general, so he specially called him an adult.
Xu Ran nodded. He had already passed General Li's assessment during this period. The other party was very knowledgeable and smart, "I'm going back to Ancheng tomorrow, so you should pay attention here."
"This subordinate understands." He was very sensible and didn't ask what Xu Ran was doing.
Hurrying all the way back to Ancheng, Chen Le has been waiting for a long time, "You are finally back."
"What did Zhou Tong say?"
"It may be that my previous attitude was too firm, and he seemed a little suspicious of me."
"It's okay, I'll talk."
After Xu Ran dismounted, he rushed to the General's Mansion without stopping, "General Zhou."
Until he would come back, but he didn't expect to come back so soon, Zhou Tong raised his hand, "Sit down."
"What do you think about Chen Le's surrender?"
Xu Ran lowered his eyes and looked at the precious porcelain vase behind the other party, "This subordinate believes that no matter whether it is true or not, it is an opportunity."
"Oh?" Zhou Tong raised his eyebrows with interest.
"If it's true, it means that he understands current affairs and knows how to be grateful. After all, you have contributed to him getting to where he is today. If it's false, then we might as well just follow the plan."
There was a silence in the room, Zhou Tong looked at Xu Ran fixedly, and suddenly smiled, "I thought you would speak up for your good brother, but now it seems that you have lived up to my expectations."
This is a test, and the results of the test are satisfactory to both parties.
Zhou Tong's face darkened, "Now King Wan is seriously ill, and several princes are fighting for the throne. This is the time for us to attack."
"However..." His conversation suddenly changed, "There is turmoil in the Wan country, and the country in Chi is not stable."
Xu Ran pretended to be surprised, "How come? The last time I saw Prince Chi, he was clearly still in good health."
Zhou Tong sneered, and began to tell him about the relationship between Chi Guo's upper class.
The birth of every country must be supported by all parties. King Chi was originally just a general. He knew how to manage the army, but unfortunately he didn't know how to manage the government.
At the time when King Wan rebelled, all regions became kings one after another. Although the back cover owned by King Chi was huge, it was just a desolate area. He didn't want to participate in the competition at that time, but he didn't want to be the leader. Someone always wanted to be the king, so King Chi His subordinates started rebelling, and King Chi realized that he couldn't do nothing and was forced to ascend the throne.
However, it was too late for King Chi to start his action at this time. On the surface, the Chi country was established, and the military camp was peaceful, but most of the people in the military camp had already surrendered to the other faction. Now they are not rebelling because the majesty of King Chi is still there. As long as King Chi dies , Chi country is bound to set off a war.
King Chi has fought on the battlefield for many years. He has no marriage, let alone heirs, and at the same time, his power is scattered. Apart from King Chi, the most powerful person in the country of Chi is Hong Bo, the former subordinate of King Chi.
Both Zhou Tong and Jin Xiaowei belonged to Hong Bo, and the reason why they came back to Xu Ran in such a hurry was because Chi Wang's body had already been broken, and the few successors that Chi Wang was optimistic about were all turned out to be inhumane, ghosts. No ghost, now Chi Wang is anxiously looking for the next heir.
King Chi has a military mindset. He believes that only capable people can take his place. He is destined to be unable to find him in Neijing, so he turned his attention to the soldiers at the border.
After hearing this, Xu Ran put his hands together in front of him and stroked twice, "You mean you want me to show my face in front of King Chi?"
"That's right." Zhou Tong was very satisfied with his acquaintance, "Last time you have shown your face in front of King Chi. He is old and doesn't trust anyone. Now he has to let newcomers he has never met meet. General Hong and I strongly recommend you, as long as you help General Hong complete his great cause, the glory and wealth of the rest of his life will be inexhaustible."
"You are so smart, you should know how to choose?"
Xu Ran's gaze shifted from the vase to the sword hanging above his head, "But there is one more thing I don't understand. The country of Chi is in a desolate place. As soon as King Chi leaves, the country of Chi will belong to General Hong sooner or later. Why don't we take advantage of the victory and pursue it now? With the Wan Kingdom in the bag, it is not too late to get the wealth of the Wan Kingdom."
It was originally a land with nothing, and there were civil strife every day. This Chi country is not much better than the other two countries. No wonder it has been half-hearted after fighting for so long, and some people have been holding back their feelings.
Zhou Tong snorted coldly, "King Chi already knows that his body is failing. No matter how weak he is, he still has some methods in his hands. If he doesn't do it now, maybe he will do it to us."
"Ning Fei, we are grasshoppers in the same boat, we must think about some things clearly."
Xu Ran nodded respectfully, "Ning Fei understands, when will this subordinate leave?"
"It's fine if the city is in chaos and the city can't be defeated. Anyway, they definitely don't have time to spend with us. Neijing is far away. Go back and clean up quickly, and we will leave early."
"Are you going too? What about Ancheng?"
Zhou Tong smiled, "Since you said that you can test Chen Le, then this is a chance for him. Even if he is a fake, he will turn out the sky."
"The general is brilliant."
After chatting with Zhou Tong, Xu Ran quickly returned to his mansion to pack his things, and Chen Le sneaked in through the back door through the wall.
"Well, what did he say?"
While packing his things, Xu Ran narrated the conversation he had with Zhou Tong just now, "I will definitely meet Captain Jin this time when I go to Neijing, but Zhou Tong didn't say anything about it, which means he has settled it for me. "
"He will leave with me later, and this Ancheng will be handed over to you. Take advantage of this time and take control of it as soon as possible."
Even though he has already boarded the pirate ship, Chen Le still can't help feeling that Xu Ran's means and heart are not like a child at all.
"I have contacted two of the other three generals, only Guang Zhiyuan refused to accept the move."
"Then close it."
It will take a few months to go back and forth to Neijing, enough for Chen Le to clean up the situation here. By then, he will have [-] cities in his hands.
Once the matter is shot, there is no chance to stop it.Chen Le has unknowingly boarded the pirate ship, and now he can only grit his teeth and walk on.
I hope his premonition is correct, and Xu Ran will definitely succeed.
Before leaving, Xu Ran also specially instructed Chen Le to work closely with General Li, and it is best to communicate with each other.
Neijing is the capital of Chi State, and they hurried through the barren area on horseback. Chi State has a vast territory, which is larger than the combined land area of the other two countries.
It's a pity that it's too big, so many things can't be fully implemented. In addition, there is no money, and the only military salary can be deducted, so the border soldiers can only continue to fight and plunder resources by themselves.
The few people on horseback traveled day and night, without much rest on the road, and galloped all the way to Neijing.
On the way, Zhou Tong also specially instructed Xu Ran to make some rules about Neijing. Neijing is not a border gate. No matter how upright a soldier is, under the influence of power, he will always have other thoughts and be corrupted. Hong Bo is a good example.
Today's Neijing vaguely has the same set of standards as the courts of the other two countries, and the rules must be followed everywhere, and they cannot be surpassed casually.
After arriving in Neijing, the two washed up in the inn, changed into clean clothes, and went to see Hong Bo without stopping.
The streets of Neijing are very prosperous. Everything is so neat and orderly. Pedestrians walk with their backs straight. Women, children and children seem to rarely appear, and most of them are men.
Seeing his curiosity, Zhou Tong snorted amusedly, "Some of these people entered the barracks when they were younger than you, and the border is bitterly cold. Where did they go to meet women? I haven't even seen a place of wine and sex. More What's more, if you know a woman, can that woman wait for him for so long?"
Thinking that the current king of Chi is a bachelor, it seems that it is not so strange that most of the people are single. Xu Ran thought, what kind of Chi country is this called, should it be called the man's country?
The place where Hong Bo lives now is in a courtyard house deep in the busiest street in Neijing. The decoration style is very simple, mainly because he has no money, but there are many famous weapons in the courtyard.
"Subordinates see the general."
Hong Bo strode out from the back room, exchanged simple greetings with Zhou Tong, and then looked at Xu Ran.
"Is this the Ning Fei you mentioned?"
"Looks like he's a good boy, with a bit of cleverness in his simple and honest face, which is okay."
While he was looking at Xu Ran, Xu Ran was also looking at him.Hong Bo's figure was short and fat, and his face was more like a smiling Maitreya Buddha. Just looking at his appearance, he would never be a conspirator.
The three of them changed the place of conversation from the hall to a more private study room, which is surrounded by traps and guarded by heavy soldiers to ensure that no fly can fly in.
Hong Bo was the first to ask, "Has Zhou Tong told you everything?"
"said."
"The last time you broke through the city and caught the spies of the Wan country, I have already told you about it. You are very smart and know what it means to follow the trend."
Zhou Tong has been sitting on the sidelines all the time, he beat up so many subordinates because of his loyalty to Hong Bo, and he is sitting in this position, of course he knows what to do.
After constant probing and negotiation, Hong Bo finally agreed with Xu Ran to do this, and the two quietly left Hong Bo's residence, just as they came quietly.
Zhou Tong heaved a sigh of relief, as long as Xu Ran did well, his status as the referrer in the hearts of both parties was self-evident.
"Ning Fei, take a good rest today and follow the plan tomorrow."
Back at the inn where he stayed, Xu Ran felt that someone was watching him, presumably someone sent by Hong Bo.
Suddenly, the door was kicked open.
"You killed my nephew?!" The man who broke in had a hideous face, holding a steel fork in his hand, followed by a crying woman.
"you are?"
"I am King Kong, Jin Wu's uncle!" King Kong glared angrily, "You dare to do something to my nephew, see if I don't kill you today!"
Xu Ran's footsteps dodged, and after quietly dodging his attack, he said quietly, "Captain Jin, now you are the colonel, and I am also the colonel, and I just met General Hong today, do you want to kill me?"
Hearing his words, King Kong's expression changed instantly, "What? You have already met the general?!"
Hearing the voice, Zhou Tong hurried over and immediately stepped in to stop this "infighting", "Captain Jin, do you know what you are doing?"
"Zhou Tong, get out of the way! He killed my nephew, I will never let him go so easily!"
The woman behind King Kong burst into tears immediately, "I'm just a son like Xiaowu, and I finally let him go out to enjoy the blessings, but who knows, he died. How can I survive as a lonely family!"
Zhou Tong frowned deeply, and lowered his voice, "King Kong, I told you about this a long time ago. Why did you make such a move now that you had clearly promised? Don't you really know that Ning Fei is a general? "
"But at the beginning you only said to protect his life. At worst, I don't want his life today."
"That's not okay." Zhou Tong really didn't want to communicate with such a brainless idiot as King Kong. For Daye, a nephew's fate is nothing, "You just can't touch him today. I'm going to see the general."
As soon as he heard that he was going to see Hong Bo, King Kong was immediately discouraged, "Okay, okay, I will never forgive him after this period of time has passed."
Unhappy, he turned around and dragged the crying girl away.
Zhou Tong heaved a sigh of relief, "Next time you tell him to stay away from him, he is not smart enough, if he really can't do it, bring out the general to suppress him."
"I understand."
On the second day, the sun was shining brightly, which was a good weather for hunting.
When King Chi was in the army, there was a tradition that he had to practice every day, but after becoming a king, he didn't have so much time for himself, so he spent most of his time dealing with official duties, and when the weather was fine, he would go out hunting with his courtiers .
Xu Ran didn't follow behind Hong Bo, his role today was to be a savior.
He hid his body in the woods ahead of time, quietly waiting for Chi Wang's arrival.
King Chi agreed with the ministers on the competitive relationship of hunting results, so he took the lead to set off to the edge of the woods alone.
After a while, Xu Ran heard the rapid sound of horseshoes coming from below. The sound of horseshoes was not much, so they should be acting in a scattered manner.
In the woods, King Chi was looking around, looking for prey, but the prey did not arrive, but the black-clothed assassin who fell from the sky was waiting.
The assassins took the lead in attacking with knives, and they all slashed at Chi Wang's vital points.No matter how powerful Chi Wang was before, he is old now after all, not to mention that he is hard to beat with two fists and four hands. He will definitely not be able to defeat so many people.
These black-clothed assassins were menacing, and they had already ambushed here, indicating that the people behind them had already grasped all his movements. Just when King Chi was in despair, a white figure flashed in from the other side of the forest.
The figure quickly harvested the names of the black-clothed assassins almost continuously with lightning and thunderous attacks.
The assassins were interrupted by Xu Ran's sudden appearance, and they were dissatisfied that the other party did not show up at the stipulated time. At first they only resisted symbolically, but finally found that Xu Ran was really killing them, so they walked around .
This is not what was planned!
But no matter how angry and suspicious they were, they had to escape from Xu Ran's sword immediately and report the situation to their master immediately.
But Xu Ran didn't give them a chance at all, and his body was spinning in the air so fast that he couldn't even see his figure clearly. The black-clothed assassins felt cold, and they no longer wanted to resist, but wanted to leave.
After harvesting the assassins who were desperately resisting, Xu Ran's figure slowly fell.
Chi Wang shouted anxiously, "There is one more!"
Before he finished speaking, a leaf flew out through the air. The black-clothed assassin who quickly jumped into the depths of the woods suddenly stopped, and suddenly fell from the air to the ground.
"Thank you benefactor." Chi Wang was already stiff, moved his arms, and quickly stepped forward to express his thanks, "Hey, aren't you from the border... Captain Ning?"
"The late general came late to rescue him, please punish him, Your Majesty."
"What punishment are you talking about? You saved my life today." Chi Wang felt scared when he thought about it now. If it wasn't for Xu Ran's sudden appearance, he might have died by now.
His death is in the favor of some people, but it is a pity that some people will not benefit from his death.
"But why did you appear here?" When Wang always had a keen sense of smell, just when he thought that Xu Ran would say that they passed by here by chance while hunting together, he heard a sentence...
"I'm here to save you."
"!!!"
Chi Wang was horrified, he took two steps back in an instant, and then forcibly stabilized his figure, "How come? You are with that group of people, but why did you kill them all?"
Xu Ran comforted, "Your Majesty, don't panic, they're just using the last general, and they killed them just now because they don't want them to spread certain things."
Only then did Wang Chi feel more at ease, Xu Ran's behavior was to express his position to him.
"He asked you to come close to me, and he succeeded. Why do you want to expose your identity? Now that my power has declined, why would you choose me?"
Xu Ran did not hide his ambition at all, "Because I also want to be king, I guarantee that I can lead Chi to rule the world."
Chi Wang clutched his heart, feeling that he had experienced too many exciting things in one day, but fortunately, the people who came behind him interrupted their conversation.
Hong Bo was the one who rushed to the front, "Your Majesty, are you alright?!"
"I'm fine, thanks to Captain Ning for saving me."
"Lieutenant Ning is really powerful." Looking at the corpses of assassins all over the floor, Hong Bo didn't know what went wrong. All the soldiers he had cultivated for so long died. Who on earth had the ability to kill them?
King Chi "made a false alarm", stopped hunting his prey, turned around and led all the ministers back to the palace.For the grace of saving his life, he still gave enough expression.
Hong Bo was repeatedly questioning Xu Ran what happened that day. Xu Ran explained that there was a team of people around King Chi to protect him, so Xu Ran's appearance was useless, and it was to perfuse the ministers' rhetoric.
"It turned out to be like this." Hong Bo gripped the back of the chair tightly with his hands, "I knew he still had a second hand, but I didn't expect it to be like this!"
"You have done a good job. After this incident, he will definitely use you again. When I ascend the throne, as a competent minister, I will definitely not treat you badly."
What Hong Bo said was really good, King Chi's reuse was quick, and with Hong Bo's support behind him, Xu Ran climbed to the position of general in just a short time, and King Chi also let him take charge of the city guard.
"Hahahahahaha..." Hong Bo laughed out loud with the will, "The Guardian Army, I finally got it!"
He has been playing games with King Chi for a long time, for the last guard army in King Chi's hands. This is the elite force under King Chi's hands. As long as he has this army, he no longer has to worry about the power in the opponent's hands.
Neijing changed overnight.
Hong Bo stopped dormant at first, but turned to go around in a high-profile manner in the inner capital. The ministers were so frightened that they stayed behind closed doors. The weather was gloomy, like the eve of a storm.
The ministers began to stand in line one after another, and it was only then that King Chi discovered that many of the subordinates in Neijing had belonged to Hong Bo at some point.
The light rain fell on the eaves, and the water droplets fell on the bluestone slabs.In the simple hall, the atmosphere is very serious.
Chi Wang trembled with anger, "Hong Bo, what are you doing?!"
Hong Bo sneered, "Your Majesty, you are getting old, and it's time to hand over your rights to someone who is useful to the Chi Kingdom."
"Are you still complaining that I suppressed your rebellion back then?"
"Your Majesty, rebellion? Are you not a rebellion to the previous dynasty?"
Chi Wang took a deep breath, "Are you really so stubborn?"
"Please abdicate, Your Majesty!"
There were a few vacancies among the ministers in the main hall, and most of the ministers went to the court on time, and they all knelt in the hall and shouted for King Chi to abdicate.
Chi Wang was short of breath, "You! You!"
Many people here are brothers who accompanied him through life and death. They used to be able to treat each other wholeheartedly, but now they betrayed him for a throne.
"City Guard Army! City Guard Army!" Chi Wang raised his hands high, "General Ning! Where is General Ning?!"
There was no movement outside, only Xu Ran came in neatly dressed, he put on the general's armor for the first time, with a sharp sword by the side that could be carried upward by the queen, without saying a word.
Xu Ran stopped beside Hong Bo, and Hong Bo smiled proudly, "You didn't expect that, did you? The successor you carefully selected was given to you by me."
But to his surprise, Chi Wang, who was still in a panic, calmed down and looked at him with a cold face, Hong Bo couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.
"why are you laughing?"
Chi Wang spat out a mouthful of blood, and wiped it with his sleeve carelessly, "It's ridiculous to laugh at you."
"Varied……"
"Boom—boom...boom..."
Before Hong Bo could finish his words, his head flew out first. It landed on the bluestone floor, bounced a few times, and then rolled to the side of the pillar before stopping. His eyes widened in disbelief. Still staring at the crowd.
Chi Wang's body was already limp, and his chest seemed to be on fire. He knew he was going to die soon, so he seized the time to explain his funeral.
"Chi Guo...the throne is passed...to Ning Fei!"
With the ten cities and the digested army in Xu Ran's hands, the army is far more powerful than the Chi family army as a whole.
After a period of integrated training, everything that Xu Ran did was justified, it was really for the benefit of the people, and the treatment in the barracks was much better than before, so these people have now become Xu Ran's loyal followers. Crowded.
General Li turned around and became Xu Ran's loyal subordinate, "Master Ning, are you looking for a subordinate?"
Xu Ran's current position is still a school lieutenant, but General Li believes that his ability is fully capable of being a general, so he specially called him an adult.
Xu Ran nodded. He had already passed General Li's assessment during this period. The other party was very knowledgeable and smart, "I'm going back to Ancheng tomorrow, so you should pay attention here."
"This subordinate understands." He was very sensible and didn't ask what Xu Ran was doing.
Hurrying all the way back to Ancheng, Chen Le has been waiting for a long time, "You are finally back."
"What did Zhou Tong say?"
"It may be that my previous attitude was too firm, and he seemed a little suspicious of me."
"It's okay, I'll talk."
After Xu Ran dismounted, he rushed to the General's Mansion without stopping, "General Zhou."
Until he would come back, but he didn't expect to come back so soon, Zhou Tong raised his hand, "Sit down."
"What do you think about Chen Le's surrender?"
Xu Ran lowered his eyes and looked at the precious porcelain vase behind the other party, "This subordinate believes that no matter whether it is true or not, it is an opportunity."
"Oh?" Zhou Tong raised his eyebrows with interest.
"If it's true, it means that he understands current affairs and knows how to be grateful. After all, you have contributed to him getting to where he is today. If it's false, then we might as well just follow the plan."

"You killed my nephew?!" The man who broke in had a hideous face, holding a steel fork in his hand, followed by a crying woman.
"you are?"
"I am King Kong, Jin Wu's uncle!" King Kong glared angrily, "You dare to do something to my nephew, see if I don't kill you today!"
Xu Ran's footsteps dodged, and after quietly dodging his attack, he said quietly, "Captain Jin, now you are the colonel, and I am also the colonel, and I just met General Hong today, do you want to kill me?"
Hearing his words, King Kong's expression changed instantly, "What? You have already met the general?!"
Hearing the voice, Zhou Tong hurried over and immediately stepped in to stop this "infighting", "Captain Jin, do you know what you are doing?"
"Zhou Tong, get out of the way! He killed my nephew, I will never let him go so easily!"
The woman behind King Kong burst into tears immediately, "I'm just a son like Xiaowu, and I finally let him go out to enjoy the blessings, but who knows, he died. How can I survive as a lonely family!"
Zhou Tong frowned deeply, and lowered his voice, "King Kong, I told you about this a long time ago. Why did you make such a move now that you had clearly promised? Don't you really know that Ning Fei is a general? "
"But at the beginning you only said to protect his life. At worst, I don't want his life today."
"That's not okay." Zhou Tong really didn't want to communicate with such a brainless idiot as King Kong. For Daye, a nephew's fate is nothing, "You just can't touch him today. I'm going to see the general."
As soon as he heard that he was going to see Hong Bo, King Kong was immediately discouraged, "Okay, okay, I will never forgive him after this period of time has passed."
Unhappy, he turned around and dragged the crying girl away.
Zhou Tong heaved a sigh of relief, "Next time you tell him to stay away from him, he is not smart enough, if he really can't do it, bring out the general to suppress him."
"I understand."
On the second day, the sun was shining brightly, which was a good weather for hunting.
When King Chi was in the army, there was a tradition that he had to practice every day, but after becoming a king, he didn't have so much time for himself, so he spent most of his time dealing with official duties, and when the weather was fine, he would go out hunting with his courtiers .
Xu Ran didn't follow behind Hong Bo, his role today was to be a savior.
He hid his body in the woods ahead of time, quietly waiting for Chi Wang's arrival.
King Chi agreed with the ministers on the competitive relationship of hunting results, so he took the lead to set off to the edge of the woods alone.
After a while, Xu Ran heard the rapid sound of horseshoes coming from below. The sound of horseshoes was not much, so they should be acting in a scattered manner.
In the woods, King Chi was looking around, looking for prey, but the prey did not arrive, but the black-clothed assassin who fell from the sky was waiting.
The assassins took the lead in attacking with knives, and they all slashed at Chi Wang's vital points.No matter how powerful Chi Wang was before, he is old now after all, not to mention that he is hard to beat with two fists and four hands. He will definitely not be able to defeat so many people.
These black-clothed assassins were menacing, and they had already ambushed here, indicating that the people behind them had already grasped all his movements. Just when King Chi was in despair, a white figure flashed in from the other side of the forest.
The figure quickly harvested the names of the black-clothed assassins almost continuously with lightning and thunderous attacks.
The assassins were interrupted by Xu Ran's sudden appearance, and they were dissatisfied that the other party did not show up at the stipulated time. At first they only resisted symbolically, but finally found that Xu Ran was really killing them, so they walked around .
This is not what was planned!
But no matter how angry and suspicious they were, they had to escape from Xu Ran's sword immediately and report the situation to their master immediately.
But Xu Ran didn't give them a chance at all, and his body was spinning in the air so fast that he couldn't even see his figure clearly. The black-clothed assassins felt cold, and they no longer wanted to resist, but wanted to leave.
After harvesting the assassins who were desperately resisting, Xu Ran's figure slowly fell.
Chi Wang shouted anxiously, "There is one more!"
Before he finished speaking, a leaf flew out through the air. The black-clothed assassin who quickly jumped into the depths of the woods suddenly stopped, and suddenly fell from the air to the ground.
"Thank you benefactor." Chi Wang was already stiff, moved his arms, and quickly stepped forward to express his thanks, "Hey, aren't you from the border... Captain Ning?"
"The late general came late to rescue him, please punish him, Your Majesty."
"What punishment are you talking about? You saved my life today." Chi Wang felt scared when he thought about it now. If it wasn't for Xu Ran's sudden appearance, he might have died by now.
His death is in the favor of some people, but it is a pity that some people will not benefit from his death.
"But why did you appear here?" When Wang always had a keen sense of smell, just when he thought that Xu Ran would say that they passed by here by chance while hunting together, he heard a sentence...
"I'm here to save you."
"!!!"
Chi Wang was horrified, he took two steps back in an instant, and then forcibly stabilized his figure, "How come? You are with that group of people, but why did you kill them all?"
Xu Ran comforted, "Your Majesty, don't panic, they're just using the last general, and they killed them just now because they don't want them to spread certain things."
Only then did Wang Chi feel more at ease, Xu Ran's behavior was to express his position to him.
"He asked you to come close to me, and he succeeded. Why do you want to expose your identity? Now that my power has declined, why would you choose me?"
Xu Ran did not hide his ambition at all, "Because I also want to be king, I guarantee that I can lead Chi to rule the world."
Chi Wang clutched his heart, feeling that he had experienced too many exciting things in one day, but fortunately, the people who came behind him interrupted their conversation.
Hong Bo was the one who rushed to the front, "Your Majesty, are you alright?!"
"I'm fine, thanks to Captain Ning for saving me."
"Lieutenant Ning is really powerful." Looking at the corpses of assassins all over the floor, Hong Bo didn't know what went wrong. All the soldiers he had cultivated for so long died. Who on earth had the ability to kill them?
King Chi "made a false alarm", stopped hunting his prey, turned around and led all the ministers back to the palace.For the grace of saving his life, he still gave enough expression.
Hong Bo was repeatedly questioning Xu Ran what happened that day. Xu Ran explained that there was a team of people around King Chi to protect him, so Xu Ran's appearance was useless, and it was to perfuse the ministers' rhetoric.
"It turned out to be like this." Hong Bo gripped the back of the chair tightly with his hands, "I knew he still had a second hand, but I didn't expect it to be like this!"
"You have done a good job. After this incident, he will definitely use you again. When I ascend the throne, as a competent minister, I will definitely not treat you badly."
What Hong Bo said was really good, King Chi's reuse was quick, and with Hong Bo's support behind him, Xu Ran climbed to the position of general in just a short time, and King Chi also let him take charge of the city guard.
"Hahahahahaha..." Hong Bo laughed out loud with the will, "The Guardian Army, I finally got it!"
He has been playing games with King Chi for a long time, for the last guard army in King Chi's hands. This is the elite force under King Chi's hands. As long as he has this army, he no longer has to worry about the power in the opponent's hands.
Neijing changed overnight.
Hong Bo stopped dormant at first, but turned to go around in a high-profile manner in the inner capital. The ministers were so frightened that they stayed behind closed doors. The weather was gloomy, like the eve of a storm.
The ministers began to stand in line one after another, and it was only then that King Chi discovered that many of the subordinates in Neijing had belonged to Hong Bo at some point.
The light rain fell on the eaves, and the water droplets fell on the bluestone slabs.In the simple hall, the atmosphere is very serious.
Chi Wang trembled with anger, "Hong Bo, what are you doing?!"
Hong Bo sneered, "Your Majesty, you are getting old, and it's time to hand over your rights to someone who is useful to the Chi Kingdom."
"Are you still complaining that I suppressed your rebellion back then?"
"Your Majesty, rebellion? Are you not a rebellion to the previous dynasty?"
Chi Wang took a deep breath, "Are you really so stubborn?"
"Please abdicate, Your Majesty!"
There were a few vacancies among the ministers in the main hall, and most of the ministers went to the court on time, and they all knelt in the hall and shouted for King Chi to abdicate.
Chi Wang was short of breath, "You! You!"
Many people here are brothers who accompanied him through life and death. They used to be able to treat each other wholeheartedly, but now they betrayed him for a throne.
"City Guard Army! City Guard Army!" Chi Wang raised his hands high, "General Ning! Where is General Ning?!"
There was no movement outside, only Xu Ran came in neatly dressed, he put on the general's armor for the first time, with a sharp sword by the side that could be carried upward by the queen, without saying a word.
Xu Ran stopped beside Hong Bo, and Hong Bo smiled proudly, "You didn't expect that, did you? The successor you carefully selected was given to you by me."
But to his surprise, Chi Wang, who was still in a panic, calmed down and looked at him with a cold face, Hong Bo couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.
"why are you laughing?"
Chi Wang spat out a mouthful of blood, and wiped it with his sleeve carelessly, "It's ridiculous to laugh at you."
"Varied……"
"Boom—boom...boom..."
Before Hong Bo could finish his words, his head flew out first. It landed on the bluestone floor, bounced a few times, and then rolled to the side of the pillar before stopping. His eyes widened in disbelief. Still staring at the crowd.
Chi Wang's body was already limp, and his chest seemed to be on fire. He knew he was going to die soon, so he seized the time to explain his funeral.
"Chi Guo...the throne is passed...to Ning Fei!"
