...

Tian Tuo's death caused a big commotion in the "Heng Army". When the two guards uniformed by the Intelligence Department were rescued and pointed the finger at the attendant of Jia's surname, the attendant was really hard to argue. In the end, he could only seek the protection of Situ He, a general with a better relationship with him in the past. For a moment, the entire Heng Army camp was immediately divided into two factions and formed a group of chaos...

"Everyone, think about it carefully. If I really hurt the emperor, why should I hire a killer? Just poison him directly in the meal. Why should I be so troublesome? Is there such a big thing to keep a living?" Amid the doubts, Jia Shi hid behind Situ He and kept defending himself.

The guards who had been subdued before hurriedly said, "If you die by poisoning, wouldn't you tell me that there is no silver here? As for why we can live, we must be the lurking assassins who killed the emperor, and were anxious to escape in panic, and then they barely saved their lives. What's more, we know the secrets of the emperor here. How could those assassins tell you so coincidental to the name of Jia Shishou?"

"It's nonsense, I want to say that you colluded with the assassin to kill the emperor, and then bite him back..." Jia Shishou said angrily.

"It's outrageous. We are just small soldiers, so how dare we do that? Assistant Jia, just admit it..." The guards retorted relentlessly.

Both sides had their own opinions, and both factions were quarreling, and there were signs of fighting and fighting...

"Enough, stop arguing..." Situ He knew that he had stopped the riot between the two sides in time, and then said, "The Emperor's funeral has become a fact. Now is not a time to get out of order. As for who is the murderer, it will definitely be revealed in the future. But the country cannot be without a king for a day. Why should we think carefully about who will inherit the throne?"

Situ He's words calmed down the soldiers on both sides who were fighting around, and turned their heads to look at Situ He.

In fact, most of the soldiers of Heng Army around him have no sense of belonging to the so-called Heng Kingdom, and only want to fill their stomachs with two meals a day. No matter who becomes emperor, it has nothing to do with him. The mentality of being a crowd before was purely a part of the fun.

However, Situ He's words immediately made many generals in the Heng army feel that the situation was very "serious". He is now in the "Zhou" army. Once Liu Ce's troops knew that Tian Tuo was dead, God knows what terrible things would happen. And yes, the two sides soon moved from "who killed the king" to "who can be the king"...

Thinking of this, a bearded general of Hengjun immediately spoke, "Is it necessary to say that since the emperor has passed away, one of the three princes should be chosen to inherit the throne..."

As soon as he finished speaking, another general immediately said: "I think the eldest prince Tian Ye is well-educated and polite, and has a great demeanor of a king..."

"I object, how can the eldest prince be too kind to be a king of a country?" Another general said immediately, "I think the second prince Tian Zhan has been through the battlefield for a long time and is the best candidate..."

But soon, the voices of opposition in the crowd sounded again: "The second prince is misconducted and cruel by nature. He is definitely not the best candidate for the monarch. However, the third prince Tian Guo is deeply loved by me..."

"Oppose, the third prince is even more overused when he is young, and he is still the eldest prince..."

"I support the second prince..."

In the canyon under the night sky, there was a buzzing sound, and a strange scene appeared in the Hengjun camp: Tian Tuo's body was lying alone on one side to cover it with a white cloth, while on the other side, the generals of both sides were quarreling for whom the "Grand of the Constitution" was a farce.

"What the hell are they doing?"

Sun Cheng, who thought Tian Tuo's death would cause a riot in Hengjun soldiers, ordered his soldiers to take strict precautions, found that there was endless noise in the Hengjun camp. He was stunned and didn't know which one they were singing...

"What happened?"

Just when Sun Cheng was at a loss, a calm and familiar voice sounded behind him, and immediately stood upright. Who else could the person who came besides Liu Ce?

Liu Ce slowly stepped out from the dark firelight with a military velvet, and his cold eyes were filled with indescribable chill. Wei Dian, who was full of iron armor on the left, was following him closely with a pair of iron halberds, and Dong Lu, who was "willing to live and die with Yan State", was following on the right. At this time, he looked humble and looked at Liu Ce with a look of flattery and pleasing. The two guards behind Liu Ce were fully armed, guarding him vigilantly to prevent the scene on the streets of Lingnan from happening again...

"The last general has met the military governor!" Sun Cheng bowed respectfully to Liu Ce, and then cooperated with the intelligence department staff to assassinate Tian Tuo with whispers to know about him.

"Is Tian Tuo dead?" Liu Ce frowned when he heard this, then shook his head and sneered, "This is beyond my military governor's expectations. I gave me such a big surprise as soon as I arrived. I thought he could survive tonight, but he would die if he died. Such despicable things are not to be cherished, so why are you still being here?"

Sun Cheng replied after hearing this: "You report to the military governor, the last general is afraid that the enemy will vent his anger on our army because of Tian Tuo's death, so he ordered people to take strict precautions here, but now..."

As he said that, Sun Cheng looked at the chaotic enemy camp, and then said embarrassedly to Liu Ce: "Now the generals don't understand why this happens. Logically speaking, Tian Tuo died and they were just going to cause trouble or attack our army, but neither seems to be arguing about something..."

Liu Ce pondered for a moment, couldn't help but snorted coldly, and then said, "Can you know if you go to Hengjun camp and see? Follow the military commander and go in and take a look..."

Sun Cheng was shocked and hurriedly said, "Mr. General Secretary thinks twice. The enemy's situation is unclear now, and my subordinates are afraid that if..."

"Didn't it mean neither?" Liu Ce glared at Sun Cheng, "Go in and take a look. Now we are all 'friendly troops', and you, Cheng's army, is waiting here. This military governor will not have any trouble, let's go..."

Sun Cheng could not resist him, so he had to take his soldiers and follow Liu Ce and the others into the Hengjun camp...

The generals in the Hengjun camp were still making noise, and they came into Liu Ce's ears, making him understand that he was fighting for the "Chief". He couldn't help but shake his head and snorted and ignored it. Then he looked at the Hengjun soldiers with numb expressions under the flames in the camp, and walked quietly towards them.

Walking to a middle-aged soldier sitting on the ground, Liu Ce squatted down and showed a smile on his face: "Brother, you are not young anymore, why are you willing to join the army to fight?"

When the middle-aged soldier of the Heng army asked Liu Ce, he didn't know what the young man was in front of him, but when he saw a bunch of fully armed soldiers around him, he knew that his identity was extraordinary. Yu quickly raised his body and lying straight and said respectfully to Liu Ce: "This general, I am 43 years old this year. I'm fighting? Who would like to do? I just have to do whatever Shangguan asked us to do. I can't disobey..."

"Oh..." Liu Ce nodded and asked again, "Brother, do you have children and family? Don't you miss them?

"Hey~ Can you not think about it?" Seeing Liu Ce's kind expression, the middle-aged soldier sighed and complained, "I haven't seen my family for several months. My son will be a father next month. I'm almost a grandfather. I really want to go back and see my grandson (granddaughter). But the officials didn't allow him to leave the army without permission and said that he would be dealt with as a crime of colluding with the enemy. Oh, there's no way..."

Liu Ce nodded again, pointed to the middle-aged soldier and said, "Your emperor is dead now, can you go home now?"

The middle-aged soldier hurriedly said, "General, it's not so easy. How could the generals in the army let us go? The emperor is dead and the prince is still inherited. We still have to continue to work hard for them..."

Liu Ce said firmly, "As long as you want to go home, no one can stop you. Brother, have you not lived enough? These idiots will not let you go at all, they will only treat you as cannon fodder. Why not take advantage of the time when they are choosing who they are the emperor now and throw away their weapons and go home to reunite with their family..."

"No, no..." The middle-aged soldier shook his head in fear, "Even if he runs away now, they will catch all of us back. Then he will be beaten up again. General, you will naturally understand your meaning, but there is no way. Those children of the scholar family have money and power. I am just a commoner, and no one supports us. How can I fight them..."

Liu Ce was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then stood up and stopped talking nonsense to the middle-aged man. These soldiers who were oppressed by the gentry class who did not even have the courage to escape made him feel a little sad in his heart.

"Clang~"

The moment Jun Rong turned around, shedding the sword hanging around her waist, and Liu Ce walked towards Situ He and others in a cold manner. Wei Ding and others next to him immediately followed closely.

The soldiers of the Guards rudely pushed away the crowd blocking Liu Ce and cleared a straight road for him.

"Don't argue, Hengguo no longer exists. Now, you are all directly supervised by this military governor. If you have any objections, just mention it!"

When Liu Ce inserted his sword in his hand on the two gang-fires that were noisy, sparks flew everywhere, and shouted loudly to stop the noise between the two sides. The general who heard Liu Ce's words was dumbfounded and thought to himself, did this young guy want to take the opportunity to attack? If this is true, he may not be able to stop it...

"Do you have any objections?" Liu Ce glanced around everyone on the field, then raised the cloak on his shoulders, and said in a deep voice, "If not, the military governor will take over the army for the time being. This farce is about to end. Now, those who dare to disobey the military order will be engaged in accordance with the military law!"
