The next day.
A piece of big news suddenly spread throughout Boulder City.
Jiang Hengchu, Marquis of Dong Bo, one of the four great dukes of the Shang Dynasty, was found dead in his home by a servant today. His death was so miserable that it was suspected to be Dongyi's revenge.
The moment this news was released, it was as if a bomb had been dropped in Boulder City. It immediately blew up the entire Boulder City.
Marquis Dong Bo was dead, and the local tyrant of their territory was finished.
At first, everyone treated this news as a joke. After all, how could Marquis Dong Bo die so easily given his status?
However, when the army sealed off the entire city and the entire city was under martial law, everyone had no choice but to believe that the news was true.
At Marquis Dong Bo's temporary residence, Di Xin brought Kong Xuan and Baiqi into the residence.
Throughout the entire process, Di Xin's face was as dark as water. The soldiers on both sides of the road felt a sense of oppression in the air.
All of a sudden, everyone became cautious with their breathing.
When Di Xin walked into the living room and saw Jiang Hengchu's corpse, he was instantly enraged.
"Investigate, investigate! He had to find the murderer even if he had to dig three feet into the ground!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at the enraged Emperor Xin. Other than Kong Xuan and Baiqi, the other generals who had followed him all trembled in fear.
One by one, they hurriedly replied loudly,"Here!"
Soon, Di Xin left, and his rage spread throughout the city.
As the saying goes, when an ordinary man is angry, blood splatters everywhere. When an emperor is angry, millions of corpses will be buried!
Di Xin's rage put a lot of pressure on the soldiers below, so they naturally spared no effort in searching the entire city.
In just one day, the army had found three Dongyi assassins!
They had infiltrated Boulder City before the war broke out, and they were tasked with delivering intelligence.
Originally, after the army was defeated, the three of them wanted to retreat. However, they did not expect that Marquis Dong Bo's death would cause the entire city to be under martial law and drag them out.
However, when Di Xin heard the news, he couldn't help but laugh.
If this was really the will of the heavens, then it would not be a waste to pin the blame on Dongyi.
Soon, three Dongyi assassins were beheaded in front of everyone, drawing a perfect end to the matter of Marquis Dong Bo's death.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Marquis Dong Bo became the topic of conversation for the people.
Three days later, an army of 100,000 soldiers finally arrived at Boulder City!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
There were more than a thousand people, the blue sea stretched into the sky, and there were more than ten thousand people.
An army of 100,000 people gathered outside the city. Just the sound of their footsteps was enough to shake the city.
Wen Zhong, who was riding a strange beast, looked at the calm Boulder City and frowned.
Wasn't it Dongyi's border pass? Why was it so quiet?
His heart was filled with doubts. At this moment, a messenger ran out of the city quickly. After arriving in front of Wen Zhong, he quickly cupped his fists and bowed.
"The king is already waiting in the city camp.”
Hearing this, Grand Preceptor Wen's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that His Majesty had already defeated the Dongyi army?
With this thought in mind, Wen Zhong led the 100,000-strong army to set up camp while following the messenger into Boulder City.
When they arrived at the main camp in the city, the messenger reported and Di Xin's voice came from the commander's tent.
"Come in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Zhong opened the curtain door and walked in. He cupped his fists and bowed to Di Xin.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Looking at Wen Zhong, Di Xin smiled." There's no need to be so polite, Grand Preceptor. You must be tired from the journey.”
"What are you talking about, Great King? I fought for Great Shang. How can I talk about hard work?”
After the conversation between the monarch and his subjects, Wen Zhong, who was full of doubts, could not help but ask,"Your Majesty, where is the Dongyi army?"
Without waiting for Di Xin to explain himself, the general beside him said proudly,"Under Your Majesty's divine might, hundreds of thousands of Dongyi soldiers have been completely defeated by our army and buried in the wilderness outside the city!”
Hearing the general's words, Wen Zhong's heart trembled, but he could not help but smile.
"Good! Good! Good!"
"Your Majesty's might, this old subject is convinced!"
As soon as he said this, the generals in the commander's tent began to flatter him.
Although Di Xin knew that they were just flattering him, he felt extremely pleased.
However, he was not someone who coveted fame. He quickly waved his hand and stopped everyone from talking.
"That's enough. It's time to talk about business.”
"Not only did Dongyi lead an army to attack, they even sent assassins to assassinate Marquis Dong Bo. They are simply too daring.”
"It just so happens that I heard that the Grand Preceptor is leading an army to help. I have decided to send an army to attack Dongyi and completely destroy Dongyi!”
As he spoke, Di Xin's words were filled with killing intent. Those who did not know better would think that Di Xin had made such a decision because of Marquis Dong Bo's death.
Only Kong Xuan and Baiqi, who were standing behind Di Xin, knew that their king was just finding an excuse.
Did Marquis Dong Bo really die at the hands of Dongyi people?
They didn't think so. After all, Xiang Yu hadn't shown his face for many days.
Although they thought about it, the two of them were not stupid enough to say it.
Wen Zhong, who was below, was completely shocked. Marquis Dong Bo was dead? How was this possible?
Wen Zhong's first reaction was to be as skeptical as the ordinary people. However, since these words came from Di Xin's mouth, he had no choice but to believe it!
For a moment, Wen Zhong's heart was also filled with monstrous anger. He immediately cupped his fists and said in a deep voice,"How dare you assassinate a duke of my country. Dongyi is truly seeking death. Please give the order, Your Majesty!”
As Wen Zhong spoke, the generals below also shouted,"Your Majesty, please give the order!"
Looking at this scene, a strange smile appeared on Di Xin's face. He didn't expect that Jiang Hengchu's death would bring him such benefits.
However, this smile disappeared in an instant, and no one saw it. In the next moment, Di Xin's dignified voice resounded in the commander's tent.
"Wen Zhong, listen up!"
"Your subject is here!"
"I order you to be the commander of the three armies and lead the army to attack Dongyi. You must bring Dongyi into Great Shang's territory!”
"Here!"
Without any hesitation, Wen Zhong immediately accepted the order.
Di Xin was here, but he glanced at the general in the tent and ordered again.
"All of you and your soldiers will be under Grand Preceptor Wen from today onwards. The specific duties will be arranged by Grand Preceptor Wen.”
"Here!"
Hearing Di Xin's words, none of the generals had any objections. Now that Marquis Dong Bo was dead, they were like homeless stray dogs.
Even though Marquis Dong Bo still had descendants, who knew how they would be arranged in the end?
They might as well follow the Lord of Great Shang, so they naturally had no objections to Di Xin's arrangements.
