Chapter 811 Ten years is too long, seize the day!
After listening to what Deng Yideng said, Chen Shen finally understood the whole story and thought to himself: "No wonder City Lord Xiao's death was so strange. He had such a peaceful face that he didn't seem to know the danger was coming."
"If you think about it, he realizes that a dignified prince of a country would actually kill him, a high-ranking official in the border area, for the sake of his own honor and disgrace, right?"
The Xiao Mo family should have been the great contributors and heroes in the defense of Kowloon City!
But now, his old man's body is still cold, but he can't even find a close relative who can die for him. He has almost been framed by a traitor and will be infamy for all eternity...
All of this is thanks to the crown prince Xia Tong!
After reading the note left by the mysterious man word by word, Chen Shen's eyes were filled with fire, and he squeezed out five big words from between his teeth: "Xia Tong, you deserve to die!"
The head of the Ma family, Ma Teng, was worried that the other party was young and irritable, so he hurriedly advised: "Chen Shen, although you are now a general, Xia Tong is the prince after all. You must not act impulsively, so as not to arouse His Majesty's anger and surrender.
Disaster is coming."
The head of the Luo family, Luo Tian, also nodded in agreement: "That's right. City Master Xiao needs revenge, but he must find a perfect way to avoid being bitten by the dog instead of beating him."
After this battle, no one here would respect Xia Tong as the prince again, and the name he was given was even more unpleasant.
Thinking about it, if Chen Shen's Cavalry Army hadn't come to rescue them in time, none of them would have survived.
Moreover, after the war, they would become traitors and scum of the country because of Xia Tong's rumors and slander.
This hatred and resentment made everyone here full of hatred for Xia Tong, and they wished to cut him into pieces!
Dean Deng pondered for a moment and then said: "It won't take long for the news of the great victory in this battle to spread like wildfire. But after all, Kowloon City is only a third-level town. There is no sound transmission array, so we can't report the battle situation directly to His Majesty. We can only rely on faith.
The eagle sent the message, and it took several days to reach the imperial capital."
"Xia Tong led 70,000 infantry and 2,000 royal cavalry to flee north through the forest road. They must not be able to go quickly. I believe that at dawn tomorrow at most, the informants in the city will inform him of the great victory at this station."
"According to Xia Tong's temperament, after hearing this news, he will definitely kill the Xinying with one hand, and with the other hand, he will personally lead the army back to Kowloon City, and we will wipe out 200,000 enemy troops and hold on to the town.
A tremendous achievement."
When Chen Shen heard this, his eyes narrowed: "Okay! Wait until he comes back, and then we can settle the accounts with him!"
"If the light one fails, then the dark one will come. The evil he has done must be paid for with his life!"
"Ah? This..." Luo Tian was still worried.
Although he also hated Xia Tong to the core, after all, he was a member of the royal family and was also a prince.
Although the Prince's Army suffered more defeats than victory under the attack of two enemies, he was surrounded by a large number of expert guards.
In Luo Tian's view, even if assassination was used, even if Chen Shen's combat prowess was good, the chance of a successful assassination was almost zero.
If you make a mistake, not only will Chen Shen have to pay for it with his life, but the entire Chen family will face the disaster of annihilation!
To put it bluntly, even if Chen Shen's assassination was really successful, the royal family would definitely investigate the matter as seriously as the death of the prince.
It is equally difficult for Chen Shen to clear himself of his guilt...
Ma Teng interjected: "General Chen, in my humble opinion, you must not take any risks."
"As the saying goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. As long as you repeatedly perform extraordinary feats in the Southern Expedition, it is not a bad idea to become a first-class general."
"At that time, you only need to consolidate the forces in the DPRK and the Central Government and unite all the ministers to investigate the truth behind the death of City Lord Xiao."
"It can be as short as three to five years, or as long as it is no more than ten years, there will definitely be a breakthrough, and Xia Tong can be dethroned from the position of crown prince based on this crime!"
"In the next three to five years, after the news has passed, it will be much easier if you want to get rid of him without anyone noticing."
Hearing this, Deng Yideng, the alchemists from the Ma and Luo families also nodded frequently to express their approval.
Ma Weishan also added: "So when Xia Tong returns this time, General Chen might as well give him the credit."
"The higher he climbs, the harder he falls!"
Immediately, everyone in the hall turned their eyes to Chen Shen, waiting for him to make up his mind.
After a while, the young man shook his head, stood up slowly, walked over to the body of City Master Xiao, and said in a sad but cruel tone: "What the head of the Ma family said is indeed the safest way."
"But the time it takes is too long. City Lord Xiao's grievances can only be redressed after he has been buried for more than ten or twenty years. Doesn't it chill the spirit of his old man?"
"It is true that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. But I, Chen Shen, never think that I am a gentleman!"
Saying this, the young man's eyes suddenly shot out two gnawing lights: "Revenge, for me, ten years is too long, I only seize the day!"
"But……"
Ma Teng wanted to persuade again, but was interrupted by Chen Shen with a wave of his hand: "I have made up my mind, there is no need to persuade anymore."
"After Xia Tong returns, you all must pretend that you don't know the true cause of City Lord Xiao's death, and you must pretend to be respectful in front of him, and you must not show your flaws."
"The better you disguise yourself, the smoother my revenge will be."
Everyone nodded in agreement, but Dean Deng still frowned slightly: "It's not difficult for us to disguise ourselves. But the problem is, the person who secretly sent me a message..."
"It doesn't matter. Since that person is willing to risk losing his head to convey the truth to you, he must be a person with a righteous heart!"
Chen Shen said slowly: "Of course, it is not ruled out that he was deliberately instigated by enemy spies. However, no matter what the possibility is, he will not jump out and expose his identity after Xia Tong's death. On this point, Dean
You can rest assured.”
"In this case, everything will be done according to Admiral Chen's method!"
"Report——"
At this moment, a loud announcement sounded outside the palace gate: "To Commander Chen, all the trophies from the extermination of the enemy forces have been collected. They are all piled on the campus of the City Lord's Mansion. I respectfully request Commander Chen to inspect them!"
Upon hearing this, Marshal Chen removed the mysterious energy barrier with a wave of his hand, put City Lord Xiao's body into a large sandalwood box, and wrapped it in space. Then he said, "I know, we'll go there right away."
…
A moment later, the school grounds of the City Lord's Mansion.
Twenty thousand knights and three thousand bloody guards lined up here, filling up less than half of the originally empty school grounds.
The other half of the space was filled with all kinds of weapons, armor, and thousands of intact war horses. It can be said that the harvest was quite fruitful.
Naturally, Chen Shen didn't notice these things, so he immediately spoke and gave them all to the Kowloon City troops.
Just as Deng Yideng and others were about to shirk the blame, they were stopped by Chen Shen's message: "If you don't take these things now, when Xia Tong comes back, it will fill his pockets in vain. You just have to figure it out!"
As a result, the more than two thousand remaining troops in the city received generous rewards.
The pensions for those brothers who died in battle were also unprecedentedly high, which could somewhat wash away the grief in the hearts of the military relatives...
