Then he walked up to the royal desk of the King of Chu and directly took a pile of blank royal edicts.
"I will command five thousand cavalry to take one route and attack the City of Chu." Zhang Han held dozens of blank royal edicts and immediately backed out.
"Leave fifty thousand troops to guard the capital of Chu. The rest of you, lead your own men to seize the City of Chu."
"Whoever seizes the most, will be the foremost merit in this battle." Zhao Feng looked at Tu Sui and Li You and spoke.
"Understood." The twoâs eyes flashed, and they withdrew at once.
"Kuai Pu."
"Why are you standing there like an idiot? Arenât you going to draft the battle report and submit the situation in the Chu capital?" Zhao Feng glanced at Kuai Pu who stood to the side.
"Your Majesty."
"Iâm hesitating whether I should report that the King of Chu was killed by Your Majesty." Kuai Pu looked helpless.
He truly did not know how to write this report.
To kill a king.
This doesnât exactly seem like a good thing.
Even if Your Majesty holds the highest offices, there will always be those who impeach.
"Report exactly as it happened."
"Just say the King of Chu was steadfast and wished for death, so I granted his wish." Zhao Feng said calmly.
"Your Majesty, I fear there may be impeachment in the court." Kuai Pu still looked hesitant.
"The King of Chu is dead, and sooner or later word will reach Xianyang. Besides, I act openly and upright; whatâs done is done."
"If anyone dares impeach, let them do as they please." Zhao Feng gave a faint smile, not caring at all.
Now, the strength he possessed was enough to disregard royal authority. Although the King of Qin had shown him much favor, a minor punishment was fine, but if it came to severe punishmentâto wipe out his entire clan, to kill his peopleâZhao Feng wouldnât just sit and take it.
From beginning to end, he was never someone blindly loyal to the monarch.
"Understood." Kuai Pu nodded.
But he still did not leave.
"Understood, yet youâre still not gone?"
Zhao Feng glanced at him.
Just then!
Kuai Pu walked up to Zhao Feng, knelt directly.
"What are you doing?" Zhao Feng frowned.
"Your Majesty."
"I too wish to be like Zhang Han and General Tu Sui."
"To become one of Your Majestyâs own."
"To gain Your Majestyâs genuine trust." Kuai Pu, kneeling, was solemn.
"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Fengâs expression grew serious.
"I am willing to be loyal to Your Majesty, begging Your Majesty to accept me."
"Although I am merely a humble Military Judge of the Central Army, I vow to follow Your Majesty to the death." Kuai Pu sincerely declared again.
Looking at Kuai Pu like this.
Zhao Feng smiled faintly: "Did you see something?"
"I did see something, Your Majesty."
"Both General Tu Sui and Zhang Han possess strength beyond measure, shattering rocks with a wave of their hand."
"This is not mere human power."
"I know all this was bestowed by Your Majesty." Kuai Pu admitted directly and without any disguise.
"Do you know what you must give up to join me?" Zhao Feng asked with a deep voice.
"My life." Kuai Pu didnât hesitate at all.
"Once you join my ranks, there is no turning back."
"I can see through the hearts of men."
"Even the slightest lack of loyalty to me, I can sense."
"Even false loyalty, I can see it." Zhao Feng stared at Kuai Pu.
"My loyalty is true."
"If itâs false, I will accept death." Kuai Pu said immediately.
"Then I accept your allegiance." Zhao Feng spoke gravely.
With that, the act of accepting his loyalty.
Kuai Puâs loyalty value appeared before Zhao Fengâs eyes.
"Eighty-eight points."
"Looks like."
"My influence in the Wuâan Military Camp truly is quite significant."
Looking at Kuai Puâs stats, already nearing die-hard loyalty, Zhao Feng naturally thought of his own prestige at Wuâan Camp.
Not just Kuai Pu.
Within Wuâan Camp, countless elite soldiers were willing to die loyal for Zhao Feng.
Even if, nominally, they were loyal to the King of Qin, as long as Zhao Feng gave the order, they would turn coat at a momentâs notice and fight for him.
This was Zhao Fengâs unique charm in the Wuâan Camp.
"After this battle ends, seek out Zhang Han and Tu Sui, let them instruct you." Zhao Feng said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"I swear to be loyal to Your Majesty unto death."
Kuai Pu bowed his head excitedly in gratitude.
"Step back." Zhao Feng waved a hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Kuai Pu responded in excitement.
He then slowly withdrew from the main hall.
After leaving the hall.
"Yo."
"Sima Kuai Pu, why are you so happy today?"
"Did you find some money?"
A trusted aide grinned at the jubilant Kuai Pu.
"From today onward, I am one of you, too."
"How could I not be happy?"
Kuai Pu laughed loudly, slapped the trusted aideâs shoulder, and left in high spirits.
Hearing the noise!
The surrounding trusted aides looked over curiously, then all broke into smiles in unison.
Of course, they knew exactly what "one of us" meant.
It meant those truly loyal to their lord.
Zhao Feng had three thousand personal guard soldiers, each one was his own, requiring absolute loyalty to join.
Of course.
Adding Tu Sui and Zhang Hanâs trusted aides under his command,
Zhao Feng directly controlled five thousand trusted aides.
Each personal guard was above the seventh layer of acquired realm, with countless Innate Realm experts, making for a truly formidable force.
Within the hall!
Watching Kuai Puâs departing figure.
Zhao Feng smiled.
"Kuai Pu is not bad, knows how to seize the opportunity." Zhao Feng chuckled.
Accepting Kuai Pu was indeed a good choice.
The Military Judge of the central camp truly had considerable capability.
He would be useful when the Qin era ends one day.
"Eight third-tier treasure boxes."
"This time, I hope to draw some valuable treasures."
With all matters settled, and no further worries about others, Zhao Feng settled down and prepared to open the treasure boxes.
Previously at Qu City, all attributes rose above seven thousand, rewarding six third-tier treasure boxes.
After this battle, his full attributes increased again, successfully breaking through eight thousand points.
Plus the one third-tier treasure box as reward for killing the King of Chu.
This time.
A total of eight third-tier treasure boxes.
This was the first time Zhao Feng had obtained so many third-tier treasure boxes at onceâpractically a windfall.
Third-tier treasure boxes; the minimum value of their contents was at the third-tier levelâjust imagine the value.
"Heavens above, bless me."
"This time I must pull something good." Zhao Feng mumbled, palms pressed together, full of anticipation.
"Open all treasure boxes." Zhao Feng commanded.
At once.
"Host command: open all third-tier treasure boxes."
"Obtained: one mid-grade spirit vein."
"Obtained: Heaven Rank high-grade [Dragon Elephant Fist]."
"Obtained: Heaven Rank low-grade [treasure carved bow]."
"Obtained: Immortal Tier low-grade [spirit spring eye]."
"Obtained: one mid-grade spirit stone mine."
"Obtained: Immortal Tier low-grade [All Swords Return to Sect]."
"Obtained: Heaven Rank high-grade [Blast Mountain Slash]."
"Obtained: Communication Jade Talisman crafting method."
A barrage of prompts appeared before Zhao Fengâs eyes.
"Mid-grade spirit vein, this can be set up in the minor world; maybe it will boost its spiritual energy tremendously."
"Two Heaven Rank high-grade martial techniques gained."
"Plus a Heaven Rank treasure carved bow, two Immortal Tier treasuresâa spirit spring eye, whatever that is, and All Swords Return to Sect, which already sounds badass!"
"With todayâs martial techniques, I now have quite a few Heaven Rank onesâand this time, Immortal Tier as well." Zhao Feng laughed, thoroughly satisfied.
"Without my order, no one is to approach."
"If thereâs any business, let Zhang Ming handle it." Zhao Feng called out to those outside the hall.
Immediately.
"Yes, sir."
The trusted aides answered in chorus.
After that, two trusted aides directly shut the hall doors.
All trusted aides guarded strictly, forbidding anyone to approach.
"Learn All Swords Return to Sect."
"Learn Dragon Elephant Fist."
"Learn Blast Mountain Slash."
Zhao Feng issued the command.
At once.
The three martial techniques gained from opening the treasure boxes began to be transmitted into him.
A mysterious aura enveloped Zhao Feng, causing him to gradually comprehend these martial techniques.
He cultivated All Swords Return to Sect.
Endless mysterious sword Dao influx.
He cultivated Dragon Elephant Fist.
Mobilized the Dragon Elephant Force, True Yuan Force; one punch summoned a dragon elephant.
He cultivated Blast Mountain Slash; one strike could sever mountains.
