Practicing from the Taoist

Chapter 140 The Successor

Chen Shou fell, and when everyone in the Chen Palace confirmed the news, they all showed different reactions.

Among them, Chen Chang had the most violent reaction. He looked at the scorpion bell on the top of the mountain, his eyes were full of disbelief, and at the same time he shouted loudly.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, whoever rang the bell, get out!"

Chen Chang shouted loudly, his voice gradually became a little hysterical, and he even seemed to forget the injury on his back, and he stood up suddenly.

Compared to Chen Chang, Chen Zhe at this moment is suppressing a smile on his face, because this news is very good news for him.

Originally, based on his current situation, as long as Chen Shou came back, it would definitely not be a good end for him. Even if he could escape his life by chance, the team he had built up over the years would probably be wiped out. After that, he will no longer have any chance to take revenge.

But the situation is different now. Once Chen Shou dies, Chen Zhe doesn't have to worry about being liquidated immediately, so he still has a chance, and even if he doesn't succeed today, he can save his life and save his strength for later.

Tian Yu and the others who were following Chen Zhe were also suppressing the joy in their hearts at this time, because they also thought of this, and this was already great news for them.

As for Si Bu, Wu Xing and others, their eyes were still looking at the top of the mountain at this time, and their expressions had become a little gloomy. After all, they were loyal to Chen Shou, and they immediately felt grief in their hearts when they heard the bad news. However, Chen Chang's hysterical shouts still attracted their attention.

Si Bu glanced at Chen Chang, then at Chen Zhe who was opposite, and then spoke to Chen Zhe.

"Son Chen Zhe, the king has fallen. Such a sad news has spread, and the whole country of Chen State mourns together. How is today's matter so far!"

Hearing Si Bu's words, Chen Zhe's expression softened a little. It might not be a good choice to stop today's matter. After all, although things have turned around, their own strength is still a bit weaker, and no matter how Chen Shou It is said that he is also the lord of the Chen Kingdom, his father and king. Now that he has fallen, it is a big event for the entire Chen Kingdom. It is really not suitable to stay in the Chen Palace and confront Chen Chang now.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhe was ready to say yes and leave Chen Palace temporarily, but Tian Yu who was beside him quietly stretched out his hand to pull him at this time, preventing Chen Zhe from speaking immediately.

But at this time, Chen Chang also heard Si Bu's words, but turned his attention to Chen Zhe, that kind of hysterical emotion seemed to find an outlet all of a sudden, and roared at Chen Zhe.

"Father's death, you are very proud. You rushed into the palace with people while your father was away. Your father left behind a means to deal with you, and you must have counted these things. It was you who murdered your father. To solve the method left by the father, I will kill you today to avenge the father!"

As soon as Chen Chang said this, Chen Zhe's face immediately turned cold again. The other party's intentional trick of splashing dirty water was not clever, but it was disgusting enough. Just as he was about to refute, Tian Yu beside him took the initiative to step forward One step, said loudly.

"My son, Chen Chang, don't deliberately frame my lord. The reason why my lord rushed into the palace was to resolve his personal enmity with you. As for murdering the emperor, it is pure nonsense. You must know the reason why Yiguo is willing to send troops to help Chen Guo Thanks to my lord who took the risk to go to Yiguo to persuade the ruler of Yiguo, as for the side of Qiguo, my lord went there personally!"

"When Chen was in danger, it was my lord who worked tirelessly to find allies in the surrounding countries. What did you do, son Chen Chang? What face do you have to frame my lord? What's more, now that the king has fallen, the most urgent thing is to do it in advance. Dealing with your majesty's funeral and stabilizing the situation of Chen Guo, as the son of Chen Guo, don't you know what is the most important thing?"

"you……!"

When Chen Chang heard Tian Yu's words, the expression on his face became even more angry. A khaki light had already lit up on his palm, as if he couldn't help but want to attack Tian Yu.

Seeing this, Si Bu on the side stretched out his hand to pull Chen Chang, injecting some mana into his body. With his help, Chen Chang quickly calmed down, and the khaki light on his hand quickly subsided.

Seeing this scene, Tian Yu felt a little disappointed. Originally, taking advantage of Chen Chang's confusion at this time, he could continue to provoke the other party, make the other party say some unwise words, or even induce the other party to do some irrational things, but With Si Bu by his side, his idea has come to nothing.

However, Tian Yu didn't care too much about it. After all, he was the eldest son of Chen Guo. Even if he was a little incompetent, the other party would not be so stupid.

Seeing that Si Bu had calmed down, Tian Yu turned his attention to the other people around Chen Chang, then bowed slightly, and said to them.

"My lord entered the palace today to end the grievances with the son of Chen Chang. Apart from that, he has no other selfish intentions. I hope you will forgive me for disturbing the retreat of several Daxiu!"

As soon as Tian Yu's words fell, Chen Zhe, who was standing beside him, immediately saluted and said.

"Today's presumptuous act has disturbed several Daxiu. This is really inappropriate. I will make amends to several of you in the future. Now that my father was killed by Jing Guo's thieves, I will leave today's matter for now, and I will leave first!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Zhe turned around and walked out of the palace with everyone around him. Seeing him like this, Chen Chang's face was gloomy at the moment. At this juncture, Chen Zhe behaved like this because he wanted to win The support of those who would have stood by him?
Chen Chang is not a fool. With Chen Shou in the past, he doesn't have to bother to win over the people who are by his side at all, and they naturally stand by his side. But now that Chen Shou is gone, how many people are there by his side? Will continue to stand by his side, this is really unknown.

After Chen Zhe and the others left the Chen Palace, everyone stopped in their tracks. Chen Zhe turned his head and glanced at Tian Yu beside him, and happened to meet his gaze.

"Just now...!" Chen Zhe was about to speak, but Tian Yu interrupted him just as he spoke.

"My lord, let's put the previous matter aside for the time being. The most urgent thing now is that you must perform immediately and get as much support as possible. At this moment, it is the best time for you to fight for the position of Lord Chen!"

Hearing what Tian Yu said, Chen Zhe took a deep breath, then looked at Tian Yu and asked, "What should I do now?"

"Immediately arrange to deal with the funeral of the lord, and personally visit the most important houses, tell them the news of the lord's fall, and at the same time clearly express to them that they hope to get their support, and then go outside the city to meet the The returning Chen Guo army will gain their support as much as possible!"

"Now that the lord has fallen, the country of Chen is bound to be in turmoil, and it also needs to face the pressure of Jing Guo. At this time, a new lord who is strong and capable of handling everything is needed to lead the country of Chen through difficulties. The position must be more suitable for an adult!"

Tian Yu heard Chen Zhe's question and said to him quickly.

After hearing Tian Yu's words, Chen Zhe nodded immediately, "I know what to do!"

"Well, if necessary, the adults can use the means of thunder to establish their prestige first, maybe the effect will be better!" Tian Yu nodded, and finally gave another order.

After some explanations, Chen Zhe immediately acted according to Tian Yu's words, and Tian Yu led people and arranged other things.

It only took about half a day for Chen Ling to visit some of the most powerful and powerful households in the Chen country, and expressed his intention to them. Although he did not get their support immediately, he could give these people a Temporarily neutral attitude.

As for Chen Chang, he also realized after half a day, knowing what Chen Zhe had done after he left the palace, Chen Chang gritted his teeth in hatred, especially when he found out that some people had already been drawn over by Chen Zhe.

Although he gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, Chen Chang also felt a sense of crisis in his heart at this time. Without Chen Shou standing behind him, facing the current situation of Chen State, Chen Chang knew that he might not be able to inherit the state smoothly. Therefore, Chen Chang could only start to gain support.

The two fought for their support, while Chen Shou's funeral was handled in an orderly manner. There was no shortage of things that should be prepared in the Palace, and with the current situation, it would not be particularly complicated.

While Chen Guo was dealing with Chen Shou's funeral, another major event happened suddenly. Qi Guo, who was an ally with Chen Guo before, suddenly announced five days after his army returned to the country that he would fight with Chen Shou. The country severed the ally relationship, and asked Chen Guo for the benefits promised before sending troops last time, and what he wanted was more than what Chen Guo had promised before.

This sudden change made Chen Guo, which was already in turmoil due to Chen Shou's fall, even more turbulent. In the next few days, the turmoil actually intensified a bit, because the Qi State and Chen State did not respond in time. Given the promised benefits as an excuse, Chen Guo was accused of treachery, and he actually declared war on Chen Guo!

The State of Qi, which has always been known for its prudence, actually declared war on the State of Chen. Even though some people in the State of Chen had expected this situation, they still found it a little unbelievable.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing unacceptable. After the battle with Jing Guo, Chen Guo's strength has long been inferior to before. Qi State, which was relatively weak in the past, can really bully Chen Guo now.

However, because of this matter, the competition between Chen Zhe and Chen Chang quickly came to a result. At this time when Chen Guo was in turmoil, more people chose Chen Zhe who was stronger, so , after Qi State formally marched against Chen State, Chen Zhe successfully became the new lord of Chen State.
