The sound came from the royal court. Chen Ping's expression froze and he stood there, not daring to move forward.

"I promised to let him go, but it is not the king's fault to go back on his word." Dong Yi sat back on the throne and said calmly.

A young and muscular man limping on crutches walked up to Dong Yi and said with a sullen face, "If the king knew what kind of person Chen Ping was, he wouldn't be so tolerant."

"Hahaha." Dong Yi said with a smile, "He is just a thief. If I kill him, I will be afraid of dirtying my knife."

"Chen Ping is more than that." The man said, "Chen Ping grew up poor. In order to climb up the ladder step by step, he married a rich girl named Zhang who had killed five husbands. How could he fulfill his duties honestly when his wife was still available?

What about your words to the king?"

"Is there such a thing?" Dong Yi looked at Chen Ping with sinister eyes, "Kill this villain!"

Dong Yi waved his hand fiercely, and the guards in the royal court all raised their long swords and struck at Chen Ping!

"If King Zhai kills me, Maodun will kill King Zhai in the future!!" Chen Ping looked pale and shouted anxiously.

"Stop!" Dong Yi was stabbed in a painful spot and shouted hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, don't believe anything he says today!" the man said urgently.

Chen Ping turned around with great effort, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

"What? Even if King Zhai listens to anything, Your Excellency will intervene?" Chen Ping gasped, "I almost thought that you are King Zhai."

Dong Yi subconsciously glanced at the man.

"Don't try to sow discord!" the man yelled, "I am the cavalry general Yang Wu, an old minister of King Sai, who fled to King Zhai. It is not your fault!"

Yang Wuben led his troops to garrison Xiagui in the Seo Kingdom and fought tooth and nail against the invading Peng Yue. Sima Xin only had to hold on to Yueyang to resist the exhausted Western Wei army.

After the war, Yang Wu fled to Zhai State, but heard that Sai State was occupied by Ziying, so he had no choice but to stay with Dong Yi.

Chen Ping rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Sima Xin's people? That's not surprising."

"What do you mean?" Dong Yi frowned.

"The State of Zhai indeed owes nothing to the State of Qin, but Sima Xin surrendered on his own initiative. He also led the envoys of the Western Wei Dynasty to provoke the King of Qin, and he has turned from a monarch to an enemy." Chen Ping explained, "The State of Sai was occupied by the King of Qin, and Sima Xin

The people of Xin are naturally jealous and resentful, and the plot to kill me today is nothing more than revenge on the King of Qin."

"Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense!"

"Shut up! Could it be that King Zhai can't tell right from wrong in your eyes?" Chen Ping shouted.

Dong Yi had some thoughts. After being crowned king, he and Zhang Han tried their best to distance themselves from Sima Xin for the sake of reputation. If it weren't for Yang Wu's ability to lead troops, he would not have kept him by his side. Yang Wu would never be tolerated.

Use him to avenge Sima Xin!

"This statement is unfounded. On the contrary, it is true that Doctor Chen took advantage of his wife." Dong Yi said hesitantly.

"So what if it's true?" Chen Ping smiled disdainfully, "Does King Zhai not know that Changshan King Zhang Er relied on a rich girl to make his fortune when he fell into poverty in his early years? Changshan King's wife still couldn't stand her former husband and left secretly. I'm sorry.

Even if my wife has had five husbands, but they are all dead, wouldn't she be more legitimate than King Changshan? How can you explain that I am a villain?"

"What about your name as sister-in-law?" Yang Wu shouted.

Chen Ping ignored Yang Wu and looked at Dong Yi, "Who does King Zhai think King Qin is?"

"Zi Ying..." Dong Yi stroked his beard and thought, "You must be a smart man to retreat when you know you are no match for the Xiongnu army."

"That's right." Chen Ping smiled and said, "The King of Qin is extremely smart, and there are Confucian scholars like Lu Jia who value reputation. If I really do something dirty, how can I be used by the King of Qin? Is it possible that the King of Qin wants to see his ministers not doing anything good?

and?"

"It makes some sense." Dong Yi murmured.

Chen Ping secretly smiled bitterly, never expecting that there would be a time when he could use Lu Jia's name to get out of trouble.

"Zi Ying must have chosen him because of his ability, not his reputation." Yang Wu said anxiously.

"A treacherous villain dares to make false accusations!" Lu Jia seized the opportunity and shouted loudly, "How can a dirty person be qualified to serve as the imperial censor who oversees all officials in the Qin Dynasty? As for his ability, has General Yang Qi ever heard of it?

What achievements have you made for King Qin?!"

"This..." Yang Wu was speechless for a moment.

"Can't you tell me?" Chen Ping sneered, "I came here this time because I was ordered to plan important events for King Zhai. Unexpectedly, I was framed by a villain and almost died. I really let down the kindness of King Qin in vain."

"Bah! What good intentions can Ziying have?!" Yang Wu cursed angrily.

Chen Ping raised his chin and chuckled, "I suddenly don't want to talk anymore. Please ask King Zhai to untie the rope and take it back to Qin."

Dong Yi still didn't believe it.

"Doctor Chen once said that if he dies, I will be killed by Mao Dun, so what does that mean?" Dong Yi asked with a frown.

"The King of Qin can abandon his city for a Hu woman, and if I die at the hands of King Zhai, the King of Qin will surely suppress the territory with a large army." Chen Ping said with a smile, "The King of Qin is not the opponent of King Zhai. If he died in the war, how could Maodun spare Zhai?"

king?"

Chen Ping looked at Yang Wu who looked unwilling, "A villain is a villain. In order to avenge Sima Xin, he ignored King Zhai's safety. This man deserves to be killed!"

thump--

Yang Wu couldn't argue, so he dropped his crutches and knelt down regardless of his leg injury.

"I didn't think carefully. I allowed the king to punish me, but I had no intention of taking advantage of the king!" Yang Wu repeatedly begged for mercy and kowtowed.

The loyal minister became a villain, Chen Ping became an upright man, and Dong Yi's mind was in chaos.

Dong Yi pulled out his dagger and stood up to help Chen Ping cut the rope.

"Today is my fault." Dong Yi bowed his hands and said in compromise, "I am a martial artist, so don't blame me, Doctor Chen."

Chen Ping quickly wiped the sweat from his head and rubbed his arm that was sore from the rope.

"How dare I blame King Zhai? It's just that I failed to help King Zhai. After returning to Qin, I will inevitably be punished by King Qin." Chen Ping sighed.

"Where did Dr. Chen say this? You can tell us the plan at this moment." Dong Yi asked in confusion.
