Chapter 140 The Successor

Chen Shou had died. When everyone in the Chen Palace really confirmed the news, everyone showed different reactions.

Among them, Chen Chang had the most violent reaction. He looked at the death bell on the top of the mountain with disbelief in his eyes, and at the same time he shouted loudly.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. Whoever rang the bell, get out of here!"

Chen Chang shouted loudly, his voice gradually becoming hysterical, and he even seemed to have forgotten the injury on his back, and stood up suddenly.

Compared to Chen Chang, Chen Zhe at this moment was suppressing a smile on his face, because this news was completely good news for him.

Based on his current situation, as long as he waits for Chen Shou to come back, the fate that awaits him will definitely not be good. Even if he can escape with his life, the team he has built up over the years will probably be wiped out. From now on,

Finally, he will not have any chance to take revenge.

But now the situation is different. Once Chen Shou dies, Chen Zhe doesn't have to worry about being liquidated soon. Then he still has a chance, and even if he doesn't succeed today, he can save his life and preserve his strength for the future.

Tian Yu and others who were following Chen Zhe all suppressed the joy in their hearts at this time, because they also thought of this. This was already great news for them.

As for Si Bu, Wu Xing and others, they were still looking at the top of the mountain at this time, and their expressions had become a little sad. After all, they were loyal to Chen Shou. Regarding this bad news, they immediately felt sad in their hearts.

However, Chen Chang's hysterical shouting still attracted their attention.

Si Bu glanced at Chen Chang, then at Chen Zhe across from him, and then spoke to Chen Zhe.

"Your Majesty Chen Zhe, your Majesty has fallen. Such sad news has come. The whole country of Chen State mourns with us. How about today's events?"

After hearing Si Bu's words, Chen Zhe's expression softened slightly. It might be a good choice to stop today's matter. After all, although things have turned around, his own strength is still a little bit behind, and no matter what Chen Shou does,

It is said that he was also the leader of the Chen Kingdom and his father. Now that he has fallen, it is a big event for the entire Chen Kingdom. It is indeed not suitable to stay in the Chen Palace and confront Chen Chang.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhe was about to agree and leave Chen Palace temporarily. However, Tian Yu, who was beside him, quietly reached out and pulled him, preventing Chen Zhe from speaking immediately.

At this time, Chen Chang, who also heard what Si Bu said, turned his attention to Chen Zhe. His hysterical emotions seemed to find an outlet at once, and he roared at Chen Zhe.

"You must be very proud of your father's death. You took advantage of your father's departure to rush into the palace with your people. Your father left behind the means to deal with you, and you must have figured it out. You are the one who murdered your father.

To solve the problem left by my father, I will definitely kill you today to avenge my father!"

As soon as Chen Chang said these words, Chen Zhe's face immediately turned cold again. The other party's trick of deliberately throwing dirty water was not clever, but it was disgusting enough. Just as he was about to refute, Tian Yu next to him took the initiative to step forward

Taking a step forward, he spoke loudly.

"Prince Chen Chang, don't deliberately frame my lord. The reason why my lord rushed into the palace was to resolve his personal grudge with you. As for plotting against you, it is pure nonsense. You must know the reason why Yiguo is willing to send troops to help Chen Guo.

, Thanks to my lord for taking the risk to go to Yiguo to convince the leader of Yiguo, as for Qiguo, my lord also went there personally!"

"When the Chen Kingdom was in crisis, my family worked tirelessly to find allies in the surrounding countries, and what have you done, Chen Chang Crown Prince? How can you have the face to frame my family? What's more, now that the king has fallen, it is urgent, in advance,

To deal with your Majesty’s funeral affairs and to stabilize the situation in the Chen Kingdom, as the eldest son of the Chen Kingdom, don’t you know what it means to put important matters first?”

"you……!"

When Chen Chang heard Tian Yu's words, his expression became even angrier. An earthy yellow light lit up on his palm, as if he couldn't help but attack Tian Yu.

Seeing this, Si Bu on the side stretched out his hand to pull Chen Chang and injected some magic power into his body. With his help, Chen Chang quickly calmed down and the khaki light in his hand quickly subsided.

When Tian Yu saw this scene, he felt a little disappointed. Originally, while Chen Chang was in a state of confusion, he could continue to provoke the other party, make him say some unwise words, or even induce him to do some irrational things, but

With Si Bu by his side, his idea had come to nothing.

However, Tian Yu didn't pay too much attention to this. After all, he was the eldest son of the Chen Kingdom. Even if he was a little ineffective, the other party was not that stupid. He just wanted to take advantage of the other party's loss of mind to give it a try.

Seeing that Si Bu had calmed down, Tian Yu turned his attention to the other people around Chen Chang, then bowed slightly and said to them.

"My lord entered the palace today just to end the grudges with Crown Prince Chen Chang. Apart from that, he has no other selfish motives. I have disturbed the retreat of several major cultivators. I hope that these major cultivators will forgive me!"

As soon as Tian Yu finished speaking, Chen Zhe, who was standing beside him, immediately saluted and said.

"Today's presumptuous move has disturbed several major cultivators. This is really inappropriate. I will definitely apologize to you in the future. Now that my father has been harmed by Jingguo's thieves, I will put aside today's matters for the time being and we will leave first!"

After saying that, Chen Zhe led the people around him and turned around and walked out of the palace. Seeing him like this, Chen Chang's face was gloomy at this moment. At this juncture, Chen Zhe behaved like this, wasn't he just trying to win over

The support of those who were originally on his side?

Chen Chang is not a fool. With Chen Shou here before, he didn't have to bother to win over the people around him now. They naturally stood by him. But now that Chen Shou is gone, how many people are there around him?

Whether she will continue to stand by his side is really unknown.

After Chen Zhe and others left Chen Wang Palace, everyone stopped. Chen Zhe turned his head and glanced at Tian Yu beside him, and happened to catch his eye.

"Just now...!" Chen Zhe was about to speak, but as soon as the words came out, he was interrupted by Tian Yu.

"Sir, let's put aside the previous matters for the time being. The top priority now is that you must perform something immediately and get as much support as possible. This moment is the best time for you to fight for the position of the leader of Chen Kingdom!"

Hearing what Tian Yu said, Chen Zhe took a deep breath, then looked at Tian Yu and asked, "What should I do now?"

"Immediately arrange to deal with the funeral affairs of the king, and personally visit the most important families to tell them the news of the king's death. At the same time, he clearly expresses to them that he hopes to get their support, and then goes outside the city to meet just now.

The returning Chen army should gain their support as much as possible!"

"Now that the leader of the country has fallen, Chen State will inevitably be in turmoil, and it will also have to face the pressure of Jing State. At this time, a new leader with strength and ability to handle everything is needed to lead Chen State through the difficulties. In this way

The position must be more suitable for adults!"

Tian Yu heard Chen Zhe's question and said to him quickly.

After hearing what Tian Yu said, Chen Zhe nodded immediately, "I know what to do!"

"Well, if necessary, you can use thunderous means to establish your authority first, and maybe the effect will be better!" Tian Yu nodded and gave one last instruction.

After some explanation, Chen Zhe immediately took action as Tian Yu said, while Tian Yu led others to arrange other things.

It only took about half a day for Chen Zhe to visit some of the most powerful wealthy families in Chen State and expressed his intentions to them. Although he did not get their support immediately, he could give these people a

Temporarily neutral attitude.

Chen Chang also realized after half a day that he knew what Chen Zhe had done after leaving the palace. Chen Chang gritted his teeth in hatred, especially when he discovered that some people had been won over by Chen Zhe.

Although he was gnashing his teeth with hatred, Chen Chang also felt a sense of crisis in his heart at this time. Without Chen Shou standing behind him, facing the current situation of Chen State, Chen Chang knew that he might not be able to successfully inherit the country.

As the leader, Chen Chang could only start to win support.

The two of them each strived for support, and Chen Shou's funeral affairs were handled in an orderly manner. There was actually no shortage of things that should be prepared in the Chen palace, and given the current situation, it would not be particularly complicated.

Just as Chen State was dealing with Chen Shou's funeral, another major event suddenly happened. Qi State, which had been an ally with Chen State before, suddenly announced that it would join hands with Chen Shou five days after its army returned home.

The country severed its alliance, and asked Chen for the benefits promised before sending troops last time, and what they wanted was more than what Chen had promised before.

This sudden change made the Chen State, which was already in turmoil due to the fall of Chen Shou, become even more turbulent. In the next few days, the turmoil actually intensified. The reason was that Qi State did not respond in time to Chen State.

Giving the promised benefits as an excuse to accuse Chen Guo of betrayal, he actually declared war on Chen Guo!

The State of Qi, which has always been known for its prudence and stability, actually declared war on the State of Chen. Even though some people in the State of Chen had expected it, they still found it a bit unbelievable.

But if you think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing unacceptable about this. After the battle with Jingguo, the strength of Chen State has long been reduced. Qi State, which used to be relatively weak, can really bully Chen State now.

However, because of this incident, the competition between Chen Zhe and Chen Chang soon came to an end. At a time when the Chen country was in turmoil, more people still chose Chen Zhe, who was stronger, so
