Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 496: Chapter 211: The Undisputed Number One

Inside the grand hall!

Qin Wuyang’s face turned as pale as a sheet.

This assassination attempt.

Ultimately ended in the worst possible outcome.

The attempt to assassinate failed.

His Yan Kingdom was finished!

Moreover, originally the Qin Kingdom had no legitimate reason to act against his Yan Kingdom, but now, the Qin Kingdom would have a justified reason, and Qi and Chu would have no basis to send troops to aid Yan.

“It is fate indeed.”

“Crown Prince.”

“I have ultimately failed.” Jing Ke’s face showed a sign of agony.

He understood what awaited him.

“The laws of Qin are strict.”

“Assassins who attempt to kill the Great King.”

“Deserve to die pierced by a thousand arrows.”

At this moment.

Li Si stepped forward and shouted loudly.

“I second this motion.”

“The assassin should indeed die pierced by a thousand arrows.”

The civil and military officials in the court were unanimously in agreement.

Zhao Feng glanced at the civil and military officials.

Then looked at the situation around.

Expressionless, he turned around, staring at Jing Ke who was nailed to the wall.

“Jing Ke’s attempt to assassinate King of Qin.”

“Although death is a glory.”

“But unfortunately.”

“Your failed attempt has now handed a sword of righteousness to Qin.” Zhao Feng thought silently.

But at this moment.

Zhao Feng walked slowly forward, gripping the hilt of Longquan Sword.

Pulling it out directly.

“Ah.”

Jing Ke cried out in pain, collapsing to the ground, his chest bleeding profusely.

“Seize him.”

Ren Xiao shouted loudly.

Immediately, two Imperial Guard Army soldiers stepped forward to capture Jing Ke.

“Escort this assassin to the bustling marketplace of Xianyang, announce his crimes.”

“Execute him with a thousand arrows piercing him.” Ying Zheng glared coldly at Jing Ke, commanding.

Regarding the assassin who almost took his life, Ying Zheng could not tolerate him.

“Understood.”

Ren Xiao immediately accepted the order.

With some Imperial Guards, dragged Jing Ke away.

Blood spilled over the grand hall.

But palace maids and temple officials quickly came with water and basins to clean the bloodstains off the ground.

The broken table was also quickly replaced.

At this time!

Ying Zheng regained his composure and looked at Zhao Feng, with a gentle expression in his eyes: “If not for your sword, I would have descended into the Netherworld.”

“Fortunately, I arrived in time.”

“Otherwise, I truly would not have made it.”

“It’s also because the Great King’s fortune is vast.” Zhao Feng smiled.

“Zhao Feng has done a meritorious service in rescuing.”

“Deserves to be rewarded.”

Ying Zheng directly held Zhao Feng’s arm, turning to face the court officials inside the grand hall.

Once he finished speaking.

No one dared to oppose anything.

The recent perilous scene was witnessed by everyone, if it weren’t for Zhao Feng’s intervention, the Great King might have truly met his demise from the assassination.

Suddenly, the entire Qin Kingdom would have been in great danger.

Such a great merit is incomparable even to the accomplishment of conquering a nation.

After all, Zhao Feng directly saved Ying Zheng who almost died.

“Draft the decree.”

“Zhao Feng has done a meritorious service in rescuing, reward him with an elevation in rank, appoint him as [Grand Director].” Ying Zheng said in a commanding tone, leaving no room for doubt.

At this moment.

Even Wang Wan, who was unwilling to see Zhao Feng ascend to a high position, had no way to stop it.

Meritorious service in rescuing, who dares to oppose?

Could it be said that Zhao Feng’s rescue was incorrect?

That would be courting death.

Grand Director.

Eighteenth rank peerage.

Originally Zhao Feng, at the seventeenth rank peerage, was the highest rank in Daqin, and now rising one level further, he surpassed the other three Senior Generals.

Witnessing this scene.

The civil and military officials in the court had a clear understanding.

“The future honor of Grand Commandant seems to be set.”

“Eighteenth rank peerage, Grand Director.”

“The highest peer in Daqin.”

“The other Senior Generals have no chance now.”

“How could this be imagined, the honor of Grand Commandant falls upon a twenty-something Zhao Feng.”

“Unbelievable.”

“Born from obscurity, rising from insignificance, he has become the most noble figure of power in Daqin.”

…

The civil and military officials in the court watched the figure standing on the steps, many with a sense of awe in their hearts.

Everyone understood.

Zhao Feng becoming the Grand Commandant was unstoppable.

“I, thank the Great King.”

Regarding the reward of advancing one rank, Zhao Feng had no hesitation, immediately expressing gratitude.

“Great King.”

“How should this accomplice of the assassin be dealt with?” Li Si pointed to Qin Wuyang being held in the hall.

“Execute him along with the assassin in the marketplace.”

“Pierced by a thousand arrows.”

“Announce the crimes of the assassin to all the people.” Ying Zheng coldly commanded.

“The Great King is wise.”

The entire court shouted in unison.

While Qin Wuyang’s face turned pale, he did not beg for mercy.

When Jing Ke made the assassination attempt, his fate was already sealed.

Under the escort of several Imperial Guard Army soldiers, Qin Wuyang was also taken away.

“Han Fei.”

Ying Zheng looked at Han Fei.

“I am here.” Han Fei immediately responded.

“Prepare to assemble military supplies for the expedition.”

“Within a month.”

“Gather supplies needed for two major camps to march out for half a year.” Ying Zheng said solemnly.

“I accept the command.” Han Fei immediately replied.

In the past.

When the Minister of Agriculture was not yet appointed, gathering and distributing supplies were managed by Wang Wan and Yu Liao.

But now that Han Fei holds this position, naturally, it is his responsibility.

“Gathering falls under Han Fei.”

“Transportation is under Yu Qing’s coordination.” Ying Zhi Sen then looked at Yu Liao.

And the latter had no hesitation: “I accept the command.”

As for Wang Wan who used to be involved, he is now sidelined.

If one understands Ying Zheng’s intentions, it is obvious that he does not plan to rely on Wang Wan any longer.

The so-called Chancellor’s powers have been greatly reduced.

Regarding this.

Wang Wan’s face showed a hint of gloom, but he understood the situation and dared not speak more.

“Enough.”

“If there is nothing else.”

“Dismiss the court.”

“I am also weary.”

Ying Zheng waved his hand.

And directly issued the decree to dismiss the court.

The recent brush with death left him feeling uncomfortable.

“We respectfully send off the Great King.”

The civil and military officials all bowed in obeisance.

Meanwhile, Zhao Feng said nothing, and directly followed Ying Zheng towards Zhangtai Palace.
