After mastering the left-hand sword, Lao Ai's martial arts was perfected, and with the blessing of power, he had the illusion that he could rival Chen Kang.
However, when she actually fought with Chen Kang, Lao Ai realized how wrong she was.
Chen Kang's strength is no longer ordinary.
At this moment, Lao Ai had a ridiculous idea and believed that Chen Kang was a land god or a ghost.
Lao Ai was half-kneeling on the floor, staring at Chen Kang, with panic and fear in her eyes again.
"Mr. Chen Kang, are you going to kill me?" Lao Ai said, "I am the Marquis Changxin of Great Qin. Even if I am wrong, I do not deserve to die."
Zhu Ji was stunned.
Lao Ai was extremely vulnerable in front of Chen Kang, unable to defeat even a single move.
How can we fight then?
Unless tens of thousands of Qin soldiers are used to surround and suppress Chen Kang.
Otherwise, Chen Kang is truly invincible.
Chen Kang said: "Killing you is as easy as squeezing an ant to death. But you are right, no matter what, you, Lao Ai, are the marquis and powerful officials of Da Qin. Chen is not an official, so it is not appropriate to kill you. Then Let you live a few more days. Queen Mother, Lao Ai, give you three days to return power to Ying Zheng. If you dare to refuse, I will come again in three days."
Chen Kang turned around and left the Hou Mansion.
It wasn't until Chen Kang's back disappeared that Lao Ai's breathing became smooth again. In front of Chen Kang, Lao Ai didn't even dare to express her anger.
What a shame.
Everyone said that he was arrogant and lawless. But no matter how arrogant and domineering he is, is he as arrogant as Chen Kang?
Chen Kang did not take Changxin Hou Lao Ai and the Queen Mother seriously. In fact, Chen Kang had no respect for the king and the powerful.
Zhu Ji came back to her senses, clenched her fists, her nails pierced her palms, and blood flowed out.
She said with horror and anger: "Chen Kang must be killed. Ying Zheng must be killed. Lao Ai, we haven't lost yet."
Lao Ai glanced at her son, nodded and said, "That's right. We haven't lost yet. We still have troops in our hands."
The number of troops under the control of the Queen Mother and Lao Ai was only more than 20,000, and with the addition of 8,000 retainers, it was not a big problem to gather an elite army of 30,000.
The 30,000-strong army surrounding Chen Kang would definitely exhaust Chen Kang's physical strength.
As long as Chen Kang is exhausted, Lao Ai and the Queen Mother can get rid of Chen Kang, even if they lose 30,000 Qin elites.
In the eyes of the two of them, those soldiers were just tools, and they didn't care about the life and death of the soldiers.
The question is, how to surround Chen Kang.
…
The next day, rumors spread throughout Xianyang City.
People are talking about the fact that Ying Zheng is not the son of the late king.
Some people say that Ying Zheng is the son of Lu Buwei and Zhu Ji. After all, it was Lu Buwei who sent Zhu Ji to King Qin Yiren's bed. Perhaps only Lu Buwei and Zhu Ji knew whether Lu Buwei and Zhu Ji had been together before.
Zhao Ya was scared to death.
Others don't know Ying Zheng's true identity, but she knows it very well.
Ying Zheng is Zhao Pan, and Zhao Pan is her son, Zhao Ya.
Zhao Ya held Chen Kang's hand and said in horror: "Mr. Chen, what should we do? Pan'er's identity has been exposed..."
Chen Kang interrupted Zhao Ya and said, "Mrs. Ya, I said that there is no longer Zhao Pan in the world, only King Ying Zheng of Qin. No one can change this fact. It's just a rumor. What are you afraid of?"
Zhao Ya said: "But, but..."
Zhao Ya couldn't help but feel frightened.
It's because the power of rumors is so scary.
When the Qin clan learns about the rumors, they will definitely investigate Ying Zheng's identity. As long as they dig deeper, they will definitely find out the clues.
By the time……
Zhao Ya didn't dare to think about it any more.
It’s terrifying to think about it.
Chen Kang said: "Be calm, the sky won't fall. As long as we don't cause trouble, nothing will happen."
Yuan Zong said: "The rumors must have been spread by the Queen Mother and Lao Ai. Lao Ai's identity is also false. He doesn't consider the consequences?"
Lao Ai was Lian Jin, Yuan Zong knew it, and Zhao Ya also knew it. They had met Lian Jin when they were in Handan, Zhao State.
Chen Kang said: "It's just a desperate struggle. From this point of view, it is impossible for the Queen Mother and Lao Ai to hand over their power."
Chen Kang has threatened them.
But.
For the sake of power, Zhu Ji and Lao Ai still have to struggle and do not want to give up the power in their hands.
The desire for power can actually overcome their fear of Chen Kang.
But it’s right to think about it. After becoming a high-ranking and powerful person, who would then become a lowly commoner?
Without power, they would rather die.
Since they are not afraid of death, they can restrain their fear of Chen Kang.
Ying Zheng came to Chen Kang's house again.
At this moment, Ying Zheng, like Zhao Ya, had a somewhat frightened look in his eyes. Xiang Shaolong and the others could no longer appease Ying Zheng.
Only when he came to Chen Kang could Ying Zheng feel safe.
If he could not become the king of Qin, Ying Zheng could follow Chen Kang and escape from Xianyang.
However, Chen Kang never thought of escaping.
Chen Kang asked: "How many people do you have available?"
Ying Zheng said: "Only 20% of the officials in the court are on my side. The only ones in the military who are willing to support me are Meng Tian and Wang Jian."
Twenty percent of officials support Ying Zheng. To be honest, too few.
Almost all the others were from Lu Buwei, the Queen Mother, and Lao Ai.
No wonder Ying Zheng's life was miserable.
Fortunately, the Meng family and the Wang family are already on Ying Zheng's side.
Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment and then said: "Teacher, what should we do next? My identity has been exposed."
Chen Kang sighed.
The current Ying Zheng is not the future First Emperor. He is just a young man who has just grown up and has little experience.
Too immature.
A rumor frightened him.
Chen Kang said: "The matter has come to this, and compromise is useless. Fight! Ying Zheng, be prepared to deal with Lu Buwei and Lao Ai together. As for the Queen Mother... without Lu Buwei and Lao Ai, she can't afford anything. Big waves.”
Ying Zheng could deal with Lu Buwei and get rid of Lao Ai, but he could never kill the Queen Mother.
After all, the Queen Mother is Ying Zheng's mother. If she is killed, it would be against filial piety, and Ying Zheng will not be able to secure his position as King of Qin.
Just take away the authority of the Queen Mother and keep her in the palace.
Ying Zheng was stunned: "Take care of Lu Buwei and Lao Ai?"
Ying Zheng couldn't even think about getting rid of two serious troubles at the same time.
Chen Kang nodded and said: "Yes, we will attack Lu Buwei and Lao Ai at the same time. After you reorganize the court, you can attack other vassal states and strive to unify China as soon as possible and end these hundreds of years of chaos."
Ying Zheng said excitedly: "Yes, teacher. However, I still ask the teacher to take action."
Chen Kang nodded and said, "I will take down Lu Buwei first, and then Lao Ai."
Taking care of Lu Buwei was a surprise, and it could also paralyze Lao Ai.
It only takes one morning to complete.
Ying Zheng said: "Teacher, I will go back to the palace to prepare now."
Chen Kang said: "Be careful and don't leak the news. I will ask Yuan Zong to accompany you back."
With Yuan Zong's protection, Ying Zheng's life would not be in danger.
Cao Qiudao went to Qi State, but he didn't know what he was up to, but he didn't come back yet.
Chen Kang did not believe that Cao Qiudao would serve Qi again.
The national power of Qi is not as good as that of Qin.
Chen Kang vaguely felt that Cao Qiudao must have some conspiracy when he went to Qi this time.
…
Chen Kang walked into Lu Buwei's Prime Minister's Mansion.
Lu Buwei said happily: "Haha, Mr. Chen Kang, you and I haven't seen each other for a while. I wonder if Mr. Chen Kang comes to my house, what advice can you give me?"
Chen Kang said: "I heard that Prime Minister Lu is compiling "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals"? You must be very busy, right?"
Lu Buwei said: "I am a little busy. Not only do I have to deal with the government affairs in the court, but I also need to preside over the compilation of "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals". I am a little exhausted."
Chen Kang said with a smile: "That's really hard work. Mr. Lu, you are old and you have to serve your age. In order to prevent you from working so hard, you put down the government affairs in the court. From now on, you can rest at home. Shuli said."
Lu Buwei's expression changed, his eyes became sharp, and he said coldly: "Chen Kang, what do you mean by this?"
Chen Kang said: "That's what it means literally. Lu Buwei, you have become the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, almost under one person. You planned to rescue Ying Zheng and return to the country, and supported Ying Zheng to become the crown prince. Now Ying Zheng is already the king of Qin. King. What you should do has been done. Please stop controlling the court."
Lu Buwei's face was full of anger and he sneered: "You want to remove me from the position of prime minister? You, Chen Kang, are not qualified. Even if Ying Zheng's son comes, I am not afraid of him. There are rumors that the Ying you brought back The government was fake, and now it seems that it was not groundless.”
Chen Kang said: "Lu Buwei, you have been the prime minister for so many years, are you still not satisfied? Could it be that you want to be the king of Qin? Chen comes here not to discuss with you, but to inform you on behalf of the king. Either you Hand over your authority and take care of yourself at home; or, I will take your head to see the king. It is your choice."
Lu Buwei's eyes widened: "Chen Kang, do you dare to kill me?"
Chen Kang pushed his foot hard.
boom.
The entire Prime Minister's Mansion began to shake.
Chen Kang sneered and said: "Why don't you dare? Killing you, Lu Buwei, is just a piece of cake. The people Chen killed were not tens of hundreds, but thousands."
Faced with the threat of death, Lu Buwei could only agree to Chen Kang.
Lu Buwei's ability to live a prosperous life depends on his power.
Without authority, he, Lu Buwei, is nothing. How will he live in the future?
Chen Kang easily dealt with the powerful Lu Buwei. This made Chen Kang more determined that he was right to choose martial arts!
Meng Tian led his troops in at this time and took over the Prime Minister's Mansion.
…
Ying Zheng, along with Yuan Zong and Wang Jian, were confronting Lao Ai.
There was murderous intent in Lao Ai's eyes.
"rush."
"Kill it!"
Lao Ai waved her long sword and roared loudly.
The retainers and troops of the Marquis Changxin Mansion advanced steadily, crushing Ying Zheng and the others.
Those soldiers had no idea who they were dealing with, otherwise, they would definitely not attack Ying Zheng.
It is a pity that the communications of this era are backward, and the soldiers cannot contact officers at the general level and can only read the order flag.
If the superiors tell them to rush and kill, they will rush and kill.
I have to say that Qin's army is indeed powerful. Tens of thousands of people advanced without any disorder in their formation. No wonder it can defeat the armies of the Six Nations.
Wang Jian was trembling all over.
The Wang family is a military family, and Wang Jian is also very talented. He has learned the essence of family martial arts and military tactics, but now he is facing an army of 30,000 people.
And what about your own side?
There are only a thousand people.
How to protect the king.
Ying Zheng was also trembling.
Once the number of troops reaches tens of thousands, it feels like a tidal wave coming over them.
People with weak psychological qualities cannot resist.
Ying Zheng practiced martial arts with Chen Kang, but he had never seen such a scene before.
terrible!
Chen Kang came to Ying Zheng's side.
Ying Zheng said in surprise: "Teacher, have you captured Lu Buwei?"
Chen Kang nodded and said: "Lu Buwei has been taken care of by General Meng Tian. Now we only need to deal with Lao Ai to stabilize the overall situation."
Ying Zheng said: "But... Lao Ai has an army of thirty thousand."
Chen Kang said: "Take the general's head among the thousands of troops. Chen can challenge it."
Ying Zheng asked: "Can the teacher do it?"
Chen Kang said: "Give it a try."
Chen Kang waved and asked Wang Jian to give him the spear.
After taking the spear.
Chen Kang said: "Give me another shield."
Ying Zheng said: "Quick, give the teacher a shield."
Chen Kang holds a spear in his right hand and a shield in his left hand.
Chen Kang stopped talking nonsense and rushed directly into Lao Ai's army.
boom……
Chen Kang's spear uses clever force. Any soldier who comes into contact with the spear will be ejected.
Crossbow shooting.
Chen Kang has a shield.
The shield was shaken with exquisite skill, and the crossbow arrows shot on the shield, like raindrops falling on the lotus leaves, posing no threat to Chen Kang.
The small shield was like a turtle shell, protecting Chen Kang watertightly and tightly.
Chen Kang integrated offense and defense, and his forward speed seemed slow, but it was actually very fast.
Not to mention an army of 30,000 people, even if there were 100,000 people, Chen Kang would not be afraid.
Unless Chen Kang is exhausted.
but.
Chen Kang's physical fitness and physical fitness are terrifyingly powerful. Maintaining the current offensive and defensive rhythm, Chen Kang can charge through thousands of armies day and night without exhaustion.
After all, Chen Kang did not use all his strength, but only used less than 60% of his strength. Just like taking a walk, not only does it not take much effort, but it also makes you feel more energetic as you go.
Chen Kang quickly approached Lao Ai.
Lao Ai panicked.
"Stop Chen Kang!"
"If anyone can stop Chen Kang and kill him, I will protect them from glory and wealth for the rest of their lives!"
There must be a brave man under a heavy reward.
Unfortunately, it's of no use.
It is impossible to stop Chen Kang from moving forward.
No one can stop Chen Kang.
Lao Ai could only run away.
If you run away, you might still have a chance to survive.
Chen Kang sneered and said, "I'm thinking of escaping now, it's too late. Lao Ai, you are at the end of your strength, appoint me."
Chen Kang turned into an afterimage and stood in front of Lao Ai.
The spear was like a swimming dragon, piercing Lao Ai's throat.
Lao Ai felt that he was about to die. His proud left-handed sword skill could not be used at this moment.
When the tip of the spear reached Lao Ai's neck, it suddenly stopped.
Lao Ai could feel the hot breath on the tip of the spear. That was the heat generated by the high-speed thrust of the spear and the friction with the air.
Lao Ai said angrily: "Chen Kang, I don't accept it. I am the Marquis Changxin of the Qin State. I am a marquis noble. I should enjoy the glory and wealth for the rest of my life..."
Chen Kang used his strength and struck Lao Ai's body with a spear like a stick.
Snapped.
Most of the bones in Lao Ai's body were broken.
Lao Ai's martial arts skills were completely useless and she could no longer use her sword skills.
Chen Kang said: "I will give you three days to return the power and give up the Marquis. That is your last chance. Unfortunately, you made the wrong choice."
Lao Ai's eyes were red and she shouted: "Chen Kang, if you dare, kill me. If you dare, kill me! Come on."
Chen Kang said: "Lao Ai, I won't kill you. King Qin will decide how to deal with you."
Chen Kang dropped his shield and spear.
Chen Kang picked up Lao Ai and brought her in front of Ying Zheng.
Wang Jian had already controlled an army of 30,000 men and was in control of the situation.
Chen Kang said: "Your Majesty, General Wang, Chen's work is done. I'll take my leave now."
Ying Zheng said happily: "Teacher, please go and do your own business first. Leave this to me."
…
Ying Zheng executed Lao Ai and Lu Buwei.
After this seizure of power, Ying Zheng grew up a lot and finally looked like a king.
However, Ying Zheng's methods became more ruthless.
Emperors and monarchs, of course, kill decisively.
Cao Qiudao is back.
A young eunuch said: "Your Majesty, Cao Qiudao wants to see you."
Ying Zheng said: "Zhao Gao, please come in, Mr. Cao."
It turns out that this little eunuch is Zhao Gao.
Cao Qiudao entered the main hall.
Ying Zheng asked: "Mr. Cao, have you gone to Qi State to finish the matter?"
Cao Qiudao said: "It's done."
Ying Zheng said: "That's good."
Cao Qiudao said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Mr. Chen captured Changxin Hou Lao Ai among thousands of troops?"
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Of course. Teacher's martial arts skills are unrivaled in the world."
Cao Qiudao said: "Yes, Mr. Chen Kang is indeed invincible. He can easily deal with Lu Buwei and Lao Ai. I wonder who can compete with Mr. Chen Kang?"
Ying Zheng frowned: "Cao Qiudao, what do you mean by this?"
Cao Qiudao said: "Your Majesty, Chen Kang is too scary. If one day he is unfavorable to Your Majesty, who can stop him? He is like a sharp sword hanging on the palace, which may fall down at any time and injure Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng scolded: "That's nonsense. How could the teacher murder me? Don't sow discord."
Cao Qiudao said quickly: "Your Majesty, I forgive you. I have no other intentions. I am just stating a fact. There are some things that need to be taken precautions against. After all, Chen Kang is more than ten times more terrifying than Lao Ai."
Ying Zheng looked displeased and scolded: "Back off."
Cao Qiudao resigned.
After leaving the main hall, Cao Qiudao had a smile on his face.
On the surface, Ying Zheng said he would not be suspicious of Chen Kang, but in his heart he was very afraid. As a king, he cannot allow power beyond his control.
The presence of Chen Kang made Ying Zheng a little restless. Unknowingly, Ying Zheng began to speculate on Chen Kang with malicious intent.
Ying Zheng thought to himself: "I have taken control of the court. Tomorrow, I will ask the teacher for the magic of immortality. Whether it is immortal magic or elixir, as long as the teacher is willing to give it, then..."
If Chen Kang is not willing to give it.
Ying Zheng decided that Chen Kang did not treat him sincerely, so he had to make plans early.
…
Zhao Ya brought tea to Chen Kang and Ying Zheng.
She must be careful when facing Ying Zheng now.
Ying Zheng has the domineering aura of a king.
As long as a person occupies a high position and masters supreme power, he will gradually develop the temperament to dominate the world.
Emperors have been lonely since ancient times. It is impossible to have true love and friends, and even family affection will be very weak.
Ying Zheng said: "Teacher, if you have practiced martial arts to your level, can you really rejuvenate your youth?"
Chen Kang said: "Not necessarily. Everyone's physique is different. It is true that practicing martial arts to a high level can make people healthy, increase their strength greatly, and keep their vitality and blood alive."
Ying Zheng was a little unhappy inside, but it didn't show on his face.
"Teacher, how long will it take for me to practice martial arts to your level?" Ying Zheng asked again.
Chen Kang glanced at Ying Zheng, made an estimate, and said, "I don't know."
Chen Kang asked Zhao Ya to take out a large scroll of bamboo slips from the study.
Chen Kang said: "These bamboo slips are my martial arts experience. Take it back and read it. Whether you can practice to my level depends on your luck."
Ying Zheng asked again: "Teacher, do you really have no magic or elixir?"
Chen Kang shook his head.
I really don’t have any magic or elixir. Even if you have the art of cultivation with true energy and magical power, without the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it is impossible to practice successfully.
Ying Zheng suppressed his anger and left Chen Kang's house.
Return to the palace.
Ying Zheng threw all the bamboo slips on the ground and said angrily: "Martial arts, martial arts, what I want is not martial arts. What I want is immortality, the elixir. You yourself are rejuvenated and immortal, but you are unwilling to give the immortality and elixir to me. .”
