Chapter 630 8 The Wrath of the Wise King!
Night, Jiangnan.
Jinling County.
Yao Chao and the Eight Wise Kings were anxiously waiting for news in a house!
“I don’t know what the situation is!”
"We have dispatched three thousand elite troops!"
"Jiang Chen and his men only have a thousand people, so there shouldn't be any problems, right!?"
The Eighth Wise King said this with a nervous look on his face.
"Haha, Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Three thousand against one thousand, it's better to ambush in advance!"
"I have the advantage. No matter what, we can't lose!"
Yao Chao looked confident.
He just didn't believe that three thousand men ambushing one thousand men could be defeated by the enemy!
"Report! Your Majesty! There is some news!"
Just at this moment, a guard rushed in hurriedly!
"What news! Tell me now!"
When the Eighth Wise King heard the news, he asked hurriedly.
"My Lord, the latest news!"
"Jiang Chen...Jiang Chen has entered Jiangnan!"
"We are currently resting in Jiangxia Town..."
The guard said tremblingly.
"What!?"
Upon hearing this, the Eighth Wise King was stunned!
Jiang Chen entered Jiangnan! ?
In other words, Jiang Chen is not dead! ?
How can this be! ?
"impossible!"
"Jiang Chen is not dead!?"
"Where are our people!?"
Yao Chao stood up in shock!
"Mr. Yao, our people... are all dead..." the guard said tremblingly.
"impossible!"
"Three thousand to one thousand, and we lost!?"
Yao Chao's face was full of disbelief!
But the next second...
"Snapped!"
A loud slap hit Yao Chao's face!
"Waste! This is what you call foolproof!"
"Now, three thousand of us have died, but Jiang Chen is fine!"
"If this matter were to spread to the capital, what would His Majesty think?!"
"I...I should have sent more people out earlier!"
"You...you are such a waste!"
……
The Eighth Wise King was extremely angry!
This time he really ended up losing the rice while trying to steal the chicken!
Not only did they lose three thousand elite soldiers, but they also failed to kill Jiang Chen!
This means that he will not get the support of the Shao family.
What’s even more terrifying is... they will also be suspected by Emperor Dajing!
Of course, even if they killed Jiang Chen, it would arouse the suspicion of Emperor Dajing.
If they killed Jiang Chen, at least they would get the support of the Shao family, and it would all be worth it!
But now they have nothing...
This...what should they do?
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
"It's... it's my subordinates who are not doing their job well!"
"I thought three thousand men were enough, but who knew Jiang Chen and his men were so powerful..."
After Yao Chao was slapped by the Eighth Wise Kings, he was unable to recover for a long time.
The first thing he did when he came to his senses was to kneel on the ground, beg for mercy and apologize to the Eighth Wise King!
"You can't just say forgiveness now!"
"What should we do about this matter!?"
"Tell me a solution!"
"Otherwise... I will never let you off easily!" said the Eighth Wise King coldly.
"Yes, yes, yes! I want to think of it right now...I want to think of it right now!"
Yao Chao said nervously.
After thinking for a while, Yao Chao took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, the only way now is to wait until Jiang Chen arrives in Jinling County and then find a chance to kill him!"
"What!?"
"Wait for Jiang Chen to arrive in Jinling County!?"
"Then do we still have a chance!?"
"You should know how many yamen runners there are in Jinling County, right?"
"Yao Chao, are you stupid?!"
The Eighth Wise King looked at Yao Chao coldly.
……
Once upon a time, the Eighth Wise King thought Yao Chao was extremely smart and relied on him in everything.
But recently... he felt that Yao Chao was not as useful as before!
For example, in the case of Zhirou, they sacrificed Zhirou and got nothing!
Now, this incident happened again, and the Eighth Wise Kings became more and more dissatisfied with the Yao Dynasty!
"Your Majesty, Jiang Chen and his men are already on guard now. If we want to take action again, it will probably be very difficult!"
"As long as Jiang Chen comes to Jinling County, he will not be able to have the Royal Guards with him at all times. At that time... we will have a chance!" Yao Chao said gritting his teeth.
He was extremely regretful at this moment!
Such a good opportunity to kill Jiang Chen was lost just like that!
If they had known earlier, it would have been great if they had mobilized 5,000 troops!
"Yao Chao, I will trust you once more!"
"If you fail again this time..."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty! If Yao Chao fails again, he is willing to die as an apology!"
Before the Eighth Wise King could finish speaking, Yao Chao spoke!
"Okay! Then I will give you a chance!"
The Eighth Wise King snorted coldly and walked away.
Only after the Eight Wise Kings left did Yao Chao feel relieved.
The Eighth Wise King has an unpredictable and changeable temper.
When he succeeded in his work, the Eighth Wise King treated him like a brother.
But if he fails...
Yao Chao touched his face and smiled bitterly.
He thought that by following the Eighth Wise King, he would be able to gain dignity.
But now it seems... he didn't get it!
In the next few days, Jiang Chen stayed in Jiangxia Town and moved forward step by step!
This made the Eighth Wise King extremely angry!
On the other side, Han Peng rode a fast horse all the way back to the capital!
……
"What!? Han Peng is back!? And he wants to see me!?"
"Let him in quickly!"
Emperor Dajing's face changed drastically after hearing the eunuch's report!
Han Peng should be protecting Jiang Chen now!
Now, Han Peng came back anxiously, could it be that something happened to Jiang Chen! ?
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!" Han Peng hurriedly saluted after entering the imperial study.
"No need to be polite!"
"Didn't you follow Lord Jiang to Jiangnan?"
"Why are you back?!" Emperor Dajing asked anxiously.
"Your Majesty! Lord Jiang is in trouble!"
Han Peng gritted his teeth and told the whole story of their assassination!
"A team of 3,000 people is assassinating you!?"
"Bastard!"
“What a jerk!”
Emperor Dajing was furious!
Jiang Chen is his confidant and it was he who sent him to Jiangnan!
Now, he was assassinated!
And there are three thousand people!
"Eighth Wise King! You are so dishonest!"
"Your Majesty, Lord Jiang ordered me to come back and report this matter to you. Please make the decision! *
"Besides that, Lord Jiang hopes that His Majesty can send reinforcements to help Lord Jiang!"
Han Peng told Jiang Chen everything he had said.
"Okay! I know about this!"
"Go back and rest first, reinforcements will be brought to you tomorrow!"
"As for how to deal with this matter... I need to tear it apart!"
Emperor Dajing said in a deep voice.
"I humble my duty and obey my decree!"
Han Peng respectfully accepted the order after hearing it.
When Han Peng left the room, Emperor Dajing's expression became even uglier!
"Someone, come here! Call Eunuch Zhang, General Feng, and Cai Jing to come to me!"
"According to the order!"
The young eunuch took the order and hurried to convey the imperial decree!
But Emperor Dajing started to think!
Should we take advantage of this opportunity to destroy the Eight Wise Kings?
