Chapter 545: Chapter 227: Beheading the King of Yan, Obtaining a Third Tier Treasure Box! Ying Zheng’s Fury!

“King, such matters must be determined by the Great King. It is not something that a mere minister can decide.”

“The Great King must impose severe punishment on Zhao Feng.”

“Such acts of overstepping authority cannot be tolerated.”

At this moment!

An unexpected person stood up.

Yu Liao walked out slowly.

Upon seeing him,

Wang Wan, Huai Zhuang, and the other ministers accusing him all fell silent.

“Dear ministers.”

“The matter of General Zhao Feng beheading the King of Yan was sanctioned by the Great King.”

Yu Liao turned to the noisy ministers and spoke with a smile.

As soon as these words were spoken,

It was like a clap of thunder shaking the heavens.

“Shaofu.”

“Is this true?”

Wang Wan was completely stunned.

“When the Yan State Border Army moved, General Zhao Feng had already reported that the King of Yan might collude with foreign tribes. If he truly colluded, the General requested authorization to directly deal with the King of Yan to intimidate traitors within the ethnic group.”

“Naturally, the Great King agreed.” Yu Liao said with a smile.

Looking at Yu Liao’s earnest demeanor,

Everyone’s eyes simultaneously turned toward Ying Zheng seated high atop.

If anyone else had said it, perhaps they wouldn’t believe it, but since Yu Liao spoke, he was known for his independence in court, never favoring any side. It could be said that he wouldn’t bias toward anyone.

Under everyone’s gaze,

Ying Zheng spoke, but only uttered two brief words: “Indeed!”

“Great King,”

“How could we ministers not be aware,” Wang Wan stood up, unwillingly stating.

“Does my secret edict sent to the military need to be approved by you?” Ying Zheng frowned and coldly replied.

Wang Wan’s face changed instantly, hastily bowing: “Great King, please calm down. This old minister is fearful.”

“At first, when Zhao Feng reported the retreat of the Yan State Border Army, I already had suspicions that the King of Yan might have colluded with the foreign tribes and thus granted Zhao Feng full authority to handle the affairs as he saw fit. If the King of Yan did collude with the foreign tribes, then let him be dealt with accordingly.”

“Now it turns out to be indeed so.” Ying Zheng said coldly.

Evidently,

This statement was half-truth.

The movement of the Yan State Border Army was indeed reported by Zhao Feng, but regarding the handling of the King of Yan, Zhao Feng merely reported that a traitor to the ethnic group must not be allowed to survive.

Ying Zheng initially did not understand Zhao Feng’s implication, but upon hearing the report today, he was completely enlightened.

“This young man is truly bold; he actually dared to kill.”

“And these old figures like Wang Wan.”

“Targeting my son in such a manner.”

“Very well, when Feng’er regains his identity later, I’ll deal with you first.” Ying Zheng felt a sense of sentiment within, but when seeing Wang Wan and the others, his heart rekindled a sense of coldness.

However,

For Ying Zheng,

Zhao Feng’s act of killing was considered right.

A traitor to the ethnic group, of what use to keep?

Even a king?

“Thus,”

“We have overstepped.” Wang Wan and the ministers could only retreat in disgrace.

“In succession established, the King of Yan is dead.”

“What more does the battle report say?” Ying Zheng turned to Zhao Gao and asked.

When the battle report was just being read, mentioning Zhao Feng’s killing of the king, Wang Wan and others jumped up. Thus, the latter part of the report was yet to be read completely.

“The minister beheaded the King of Yan to intimidate the surrendering Yan Army.”

“Ordered General Tu Sui to lead troops to defend Ji City, and conquer all surrounding cities.”

“The minister led the subordinate cavalry regiment and seventy thousand Yan Border Army surrendering soldiers to kill towards the Northern Frontier.”

“Foreign tribes.”

“The peril of Huaxia.”

“The Yan state is now part of the Great Qin Territory; the people of Yan are now citizens of Qin.”

“As a war general of Qin, it is indeed my duty to protect.”

“Leading troops for an attack, it’s imperative to annihilate all invading foreign tribes.”

“Those challenging the might of Qin, those challenging the prestige of Huaxia people, kill without mercy.”

“Additionally,”

“Crown Prince of Yan Ji Dan has already been captured by our army, and is now escorted to Xianyang awaiting the Great King’s disposition.”

Zhao Gao loudly read out.

Ying Zheng nodded: “Foreign tribes, the natural enemies of our Huaxia ethnic group.”

“With Zhao Feng personally commanding troops to meet the enemy, I naturally need not worry about the Northern Border of Yan territory.”

At this moment!

“Report.”

“Urgent report from the Northern Frontier of Yan State.”

“Donghu State has mobilized an army of two hundred thousand, invading Yan territory.”

“In less than a month, more than ten cities in Yan State have been conquered by foreign tribes, the tribes committed arson, murder, and robbery, Xiangping City was almost slaughtered entirely, many cities have experienced bloodshed from the tribes.”

The messenger holding the command flag reported with a solemn expression.

Upon hearing this!

Ying Zheng furrowed his brow.

The entire court of civil and military officials had their expressions changed.

“Foreign tribes slaughtering cities!”

Ying Zheng’s voice carried a shiver.

This act of city slaughter,

Had not been heard of within the Great Qin Territory for a long time.

Even in the past, Zhao State and other countries had never heard of such, for the countries had extensive defenses against foreign tribes.

But today,

The foreign tribes even dared to slaughter cities.

Massacring the Huaxia people.

“Transmit the edict to Zhao Feng.”

“All invading foreign tribes, leave no survivors.” Ying Zheng’s eyes revealed killing intent, coldly commanded.
