Chapter 379 The King of Chu died (third update)

The capital of the Chu Empire, here is the political center of the Chu State, and also the largest city in the Chu State, as well as one of the nine ancient relics.

For 5000 years, through the unremitting efforts of successive kings of the Chu Kingdom, the Chu Emperor has become the most prosperous city in the entire Canglong Continent.

Not only that, because King Chu Heng will toss some activities from time to time, such as state banquets, birthday banquets, and wedding banquets. There are dozens of them; .

Therefore, as the imperial capital under the king's feet, it naturally became the most direct beneficiary, and because of this, the Chu Emperor became the city with the largest population in the entire Canglong Continent.

The people here come from all over the world, and they stationed directly in the imperial capital with the customs and customs of different countries. It is also because of them that the information transmission speed of the imperial capital has become the fastest city in the entire Canglong continent.

However, the recent emperors are not very peaceful, and the undercurrents are surging. The reason is that King Chu Heng has changed his temper recently and is moody. Every court meeting, some ministers will be dismissed from office or even executed; A series of tragic deaths, if King Chu Heng spends the night in the concubine's palace tonight, there will be news that the concubine's fragrance will disappear the next day.

For a moment, everyone in the palace was in danger, and the dignified atmosphere spread directly from the palace, spreading to the entire imperial capital.

Therefore, the most discussed topic among the people of the imperial capital recently is why King Chu Heng suddenly changed his temperament.

In addition to the common people, the same is true for the officials of the imperial capital.

Chen Chong is the city gate order stationed at the north gate of the palace. He is not a big official, but he has important responsibilities. He is not only responsible for the safety of the north gate, but also inspects the distance from the north gate to the inner city of the palace.

It's just that today is destined to be an unforgettable day for Chen Chong, because not long ago, he received a task that could affect his life.

"General, Imperial Concubine Zhen is coming towards the north gate." On the tower, Chen Chong looked at the scenery outside the palace with his back on his back, and a soldier in armor ran up to report.

Chen Chong sighed when he heard the words, Concubine Zhen is a concubine who will serve King Chu Heng's bed today.

At the same time, she was also the sixth concubine who wanted to escape.

"Invite Concubine Zhen Gui back." Chen Chong said flatly.

"Yes!" The soldier responded.

Chen Chong raised his head and glanced at the sky, his eyes were full of loneliness.

Unlike the people outside the palace, Chen Chong knew very well why King Chu Heng's temperament changed drastically. The fundamental reason was that King Chu Heng had gone crazy.

Ever since the state banquet in May, King Chu Heng began to feel a little abnormal, until the last time Chu Sheng came back, King Chu Heng became what he is now.

So in fact, the undercurrent in the palace is far more exaggerated than the outside guess.

With such signs from King Chu Heng, it is basically certain that he will not live for a long time. This is great news for King Chu Heng's sons.

King Chu Heng has been in power for too long, more than 300 years, the hair of those princes are all gray...

Especially the eldest prince, who is over 200 years old this year, but his cultivation base is two ranks lower than his father's. If he only relies on killing his own father to rise to the top, there may be no hope in this life.

Now that his own father has finally gone crazy, he is naturally ecstatic.

The same is true for the rest of the princes, one by one, they began to think about how to defeat their brothers and successfully climb to the throne. No one would care about why King Chu Heng went crazy.

"Alas..." Thinking of this, Chen Chong couldn't help but sighed.

"Deng Deng Deng..." There was another rush, and a soldier ran up the tower and reported: "General, Concubine Zhen is dead!"

"What!" Chen Chong turned pale with shock, and said sharply, "Didn't you ask the imperial concubine to go back? Who told you to do it?"

It is a family matter for King Chu Heng to kill his concubine. If Chen Chong kills his concubine, it will be a funeral. Isn't this fucking cheating him?
"No, General." The soldier knelt down on one knee and replied, "His Majesty killed it with his own hands. Your Majesty has come down!"

When Chen Chong heard this, his face froze, and he sighed inwardly: I didn't expect to come so soon.

Kicking the soldiers away, Chen Chong strode down the tower.

Ten miles east of the North City Gate, a group of soldiers knelt on the ground. Not far from them, a middle-aged man in a golden dragon robe was holding a thick long sword with blood dripping from the tip; at his feet, Lying there are two female corpses, they are Concubine Zhen and her personal maid.

This is the current king of Great Chu, King Chu Heng.

"Absconding without permission, damn it!" King Chu Heng looked at the corpse on the ground coldly, with a gloomy face and loose hair, looking a little scary.

"Da da da~"

Chen Chong arrived with his soldiers, knelt down a hundred meters away from King Chu Heng, prostrated himself on the ground, and said, "The late general's rescue has surprised His Majesty."

At this time, it must not be mentioned that Concubine Zhen Gui escaped from the palace without authorization. She must be accused of assassinating the king, so that King Chu Heng will not be affected.

King Chu Heng turned around and looked at Chen Chong who was a hundred meters away, and said in a deep voice, "Why are you kneeling so far away? Move forward."

Cold sweat broke out on Chen Chong's forehead, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably at this moment, who possessed the cultivation base of the Spirit Venerable.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Chen Chong had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree, but he was also a chicken thief, he didn't just stand up and run over, but just knelt on the ground and moved over step by step.

King Chu Heng frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Chen Chong's actions, and said in a gloomy tone, "You are very afraid of me..."

"The last general doesn't dare." At this point, Chen Chong had no choice but to stand up and walk towards King Chu Heng.

At the same time, the spiritual power in Chen Chong's body also began to rotate. Although King Chu Heng possessed the realm of the Spirit Emperor, if he really wanted to kill him, Chen Chong could only choose to resist. Loyalty and courage did not grow on him.

The atmosphere was very depressing. Apart from the sound of the cold wind whistling in the huge square, the only sound was the sound of Chen Chong stepping on the stone bricks.

King Chu Heng just watched Chen Chong walking towards him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a wicked sneer.

"As the city gate order, you actually allowed my concubine to escape from the palace without permission. What crime should you have?"

Hearing this, Chen Chong's heart sank, he knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said: "The general did not let any lady go out of the North City Gate, please Your Majesty to be careful."

"You still dare to quibble, you deserve to die!" King Chu Heng was furious, raised his epee and rushed towards Chen who was kneeling on the ground.

Chen Chong's face turned pale with shock. He didn't expect King Chu Heng to be so determined to kill him. Panicked, he subconsciously drew out his long knife to resist.

"Clang~"

A crisp sound startled waves in the hearts of countless people.

The soldiers, maids and eunuchs kneeling on the ground all around looked at Chen Chong in disbelief, the meaning in their eyes was very clear: How dare he block the sword of King Chu Heng!
King Chu Heng was taken a step back by the counter-shock force brought by Lin Chong's subconscious resistance, and the epee in his hand almost fell out.

Chen Chong looked at the long knife in his hand with even more doubts, and couldn't believe that he actually blocked King Chu Heng's sword.

"Rebellious ministers and thieves, you should be killed!" King Chu Heng also did not expect that someone would dare to resist him, and suddenly became furious, raised his sword and charged at Chen again.

Facing King Chu Heng's stab, Chen Chong remembered that mission again, and fell into a struggle in his heart.

In his thoughts, seeing King Chu Heng stabbing again, Chen Chong didn't dare to procrastinate, poured eight points of spiritual energy into him, and prepared the remaining two points to escape from the palace after being knocked back.

"Clang~"

There was another crisp sound, but this time, there were two different sounds.

"Boom~"

"Pfft~"
