Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 561: Chapter 234: Ying Zheng: Proclaiming Zhao Feng’s Military Achievements to the World! Accumulating Prestige for Zhao Feng!

"Reporting to the Great King."

"General Zhao Feng will surely be safe. There is no need for the Great King to worry too much."

"The Crown Prince of Yan has already been escorted into the palace."

"Awaiting the Great King’s decision."

"Does the Great King wish to summon him?"

Li Si stood up and respectfully reported.

Upon hearing this!

Ying Zheng remembered Ji Dan.

Regarding Ji Dan.

At this moment, Ying Zheng no longer had any old sentiments for him.

If there was some camaraderie when they were in Handan as hostages long ago,

But after he plotted the assassination, all of it vanished.

He even wanted him dead.

How could Ying Zheng possibly have any sentiment for him?

That day, in a moment of crisis, if Zhao Feng had not arrived in time, perhaps he really would have perished.

"Summon."

Ying Zheng said coldly.

"The Great King has issued an edict."

"Escort Crown Prince of Yan, Ji Dan, to the court." Zhao Gao shouted hoarsely.

In response.

Several Imperial Guards escorted the prisoner-clad Ji Dan into the court.

This day, Ji Dan was completely different from before.

He was desolate, with lost eyes.

The whole person appeared extremely haggard.

All along.

Ji Dan’s greatest wish was to strengthen the Yan Kingdom.

But now the Yan Kingdom had perished, and his father was dead.

For him, at this moment, he was like a walking corpse.

Upon entering the grand hall.

Ren Xiao shouted: "Kneel."

But Ji Dan’s eyes were vacant, not even looking at Ying Zheng on the high seat.

Ren Xiao, not accustomed to him, kicked him directly.

Bang.

Ji Dan was kicked to the ground, collapsing, but still made no movement, soulless.

"Ji Dan."

Ying Zheng slowly spoke, his tone indifferent.

Upon hearing Ying Zheng’s voice.

The previously vacant-eyed Ji Dan seemed to have heard thunder.

His eyes widened, fiercely looking at Ying Zheng on the high seat, eyes filled with hatred.

"Ying Zheng."

"I will kill you."

"You will not die well."

Ji Dan struggled fiercely, attempting to rush forward.

But two quick-eyed Imperial Guards immediately pinned Ji Dan to the ground.

"Hate me?"

"What right do you have?" Ying Zheng sneered, his gaze overlooking, scrutinizing Ji Dan.

"Ying Zheng."

"You are a wolf with a savage heart."

"You commit wanton slaughter."

"One day, you will face retribution." Ji Dan hatefully shouted.

For him.

At this moment, besides cursing, there was nothing else.

"Wanton slaughter?"

"Hahaha."

"Ji Dan, you are a crown prince of a nation, yet you utter such childish words."

"It’s truly laughable."

"However."

"It is indeed thanks to you."

"If it weren’t for your attempted assassination, how could I, Ying Zheng, have a justified reason to destroy your Yan Kingdom?"

"Now, all of your Yan Kingdom has returned to Qin Territory."

"As for you..."

Ying Zheng’s eyes revealed a murderous intent, staring at Ji Dan: "It’s time to be on your way."

"The crime of regicide."

"How should it be dealt with?" Ying Zheng asked Li Si.

"Extermination of the entire clan."

"Execution by dismemberment."

Li Si immediately replied.

"Then why hesitate?"

Ying Zheng said coldly.

With a wave of his hand.

Several Imperial Guards directly lifted Ji Dan and dragged him out of the hall.

"Do any ministers have reports to present?" Ying Zheng glanced around the court.

"We have no reports to present." The ministers shouted in unison.

"Court dismissed."

Ying Zheng waved his hand.

But upon standing up, his gaze shifted to Wang Jian, clearly indicating to meet in Zhangtai Palace.

Within Zhangtai Palace!

"Your son-in-law truly does not value his life."

"Leading ten thousand cavalry deep into the Northern Frontier is no different from seeking death."

Inside the hall.

With no outsiders present, Ying Zheng spoke angrily to Wang Jian.

While Wang Jian smiled: "Zhao Feng is my son-in-law, but he is also the Great King’s son."

"Moreover, I have never instructed him; all of this is a natural talent."

Wang Jian’s words almost implied it was a trait from the father.

"Your words, are you suggesting it’s my fault?" Ying Zheng retorted in exasperation.

"I dare not." Wang Jian immediately bowed.

"Enough."

"Sit."

Seeing Wang Jian like this, Ying Zheng knew he couldn’t blame him for anything.

He could only wave his hand helplessly.

"Thank you, Great King." Wang Jian unceremoniously sat beside Ying Zheng.

"Have you understood Zhao Feng’s intentions?" Ying Zheng asked.

"If my understanding is correct, Zhao Feng seeks revenge for the people of Yan Land who perished at the hands of foreign tribes."

"This time."

"Due to the southern invasion of the tribes, the people of Yan Land who tragically died reached three to four hundred thousand, all slaughtered by the foreign tribes." Wang Jian slowly said.

"Just for revenge?" Ying Zheng frowned.

In his view, Zhao Feng’s actions were not merely for revenge.

"The Great King also sees it, I presume."

"This time the tribes suffered such a massive loss, with only less than thirty thousand returning out of two hundred thousand troops, a significant defeat."

"Furthermore, according to battle reports, they had no time to transport the looted population, possessions, and grain from Yan Land back, not to mention their supplies had fallen into our army’s control."

"From this, it is evident."

"The tribes will not be content with such a loss and will surely strike back."

"And they will mobilize their entire army, then Yan Land will be in danger."

"Zhao Feng’s action of invading the Northern Frontier is nothing more than creating chaos for Donghu, rendering them incapable of invading again." Wang Jian thought for a moment and said.

Ying Zheng nodded: "I thought the same."

"It’s just that this boy refuses to act cautiously, daring to lead ten thousand troops deep into the Northern Frontier. Any slight mistake could trap them in the midst of the tribes."

"While I can only watch from Xianyang."

Wang Jian could hear the concern in Ying Zheng’s words.

For this not yet acknowledged son, Ying Zheng had truly put in all his heart.

"Great King."

"Now besides trusting Zhao Feng, there is nothing else we can do."
