"The last general Li Rong has met Lord Shangshu." The general who walked in front came to Hou Chong to salute.

Hou Chong nodded with reservations, as if he was very satisfied with Li Rong's performance, but he did not see that there was no respect or awe of Li Rong in his eyes. If there was any, there was only rejection!

As a senior general stationed in the imperial capital, Li Rong had naturally heard of Hou Chong's name before and knew a series of "glorious deeds" that Hou Chong had done. Li Rong was despised and resisted from the bottom of his heart.

However, Li Rong did not expect that Hou Chong would become his boss, which made him even more disdainful of Zhao Lun.

Zhao Lun actually appointed Hou Chong as the Minister of War, which was simply blind.

Fortunately, Zhao Lun is dead now, otherwise, I wouldn't know how many confused things I would have to do.

In his heart, Li Rong was extremely disagreeing with Zhao Lun and Hou Chong.

Now, Hou Chong appears here, most of the time to take over the control of the army and declare his authority. However, Li Rong had already made a decision in his heart.

After Hou Chong nodded to Li Rong, he took the lead in heading to the camp.

Li Rong glanced at Wu Fan, and saw Wu Fan nodding slightly, then followed Hou Chong and walked into the camp together.

Wu Fan did not leave, but also went together.

The camp has resumed its previous training, and the soldiers’ faces are no longer the horror and anxiety they have before. Of course, there is no much sadness because of Zhao Lun’s death.

Hou Chong walked while observing secretly, feeling very satisfied with the mental outlook of this team.

After entering the tent of the chief general, Hou Chong sat in the first place without hesitation, while Li Rong and Wu Fan stood in front of him.

"Who are you?" Hou Chong looked at Wu Fan with his eyes.

"The last general Li Fan." Wu Fan said to Hou Chong: "It is the deputy general of this camp and the deputy general of General Li."

Hou Chong looked at Li Rong again, as if confirming with Li Rong.

Li Rong nodded without hesitation.

Hou Chong nodded, and did not drive Wu Fan out.

Hou Chong looked at Li Rong and asked, "General Li, how many people are there in this camp now."

"Sir Hui, there are currently 53,415 soldiers in the camp." Li Rong replied: "Including the Mo General and General Li."

"Can you all transfer these people?" Hou Chong asked.

"This is natural." Li Rong replied.

"Very good." Hou Chong nodded with satisfaction: "You should be very clear about my identity."

Li Rong nodded.

Hou Chong continued: "Now, I have a very important thing to explain to you!"

Li Rong's expression changed slightly, while Wu Fan was still calm. Since Hou Chong came in, he had already known the plan of Hou Chong and Yuan Ji, which was also the reason why he left it here with a fake name.

"Your Majesty died unexpectedly, and the ministers in the court are discussing the choice of a new emperor." Hou Chong said to Li Rong and Wu Fan: "This was originally a very normal thing, but now an accident has occurred!"

"Seventh Princess Zhao Qi, who used some shameful means, actually convinced the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Rites and some officials in the court to support her ascend the throne and become emperor!"

"How can this work?!"

"Can she lead our Yanfeng Kingdom out of the predicament? People from other countries know that our Yanfeng Kingdom is actually the emperor, and they may be laughing at us to death. Therefore, this thing must not happen!"

"As the Minister of War personally appointed by His Majesty, I also have the responsibility to safeguard our Yanfeng Kingdom. I must not watch our Yanfeng Kingdom walk towards the abyss under the leadership of that woman. Therefore, I decided..."

Speaking of this, Hou Chong's face was solemn, saying word by word: "I decided to raise an army to surround the imperial capital, force the Seventh Princess to give up the idea that he shouldn't have, and let our Yanfeng Kingdom get back on track!"

"Sir, are we going to rebel?" Li Rong asked.

Although Li Rong's face was a little surprised, he was not too shocked in his heart. He seemed not surprised by hearing that Zhao Qi was about to ascend the throne.

In fact, before Hou Chong arrived, Wu Fan had also told him about this, so he naturally wanted to gain his support, and Li Rong was obviously inclined to support Zhao Qi.

"What rebellion?" Hou Chong said with a stern face: "We are saving the court and the people of the world!"

"But since the ministers have decided to support the Seventh Princess ascend the throne and become emperor, then we will raise an army now, which is like rebellion." At this time, Wu Fan, who had been silent, finally spoke: "State Secretary Hou, Your Majesty appointed you as the Minister of War to allow you to protect the country of Yanfeng Kingdom, rather than letting you do whatever you want!"

Hou Chong looked at Wu Fan with a stern look and said sternly: "Now overthrowing Zhao Qi is to protect the country of our Yanfeng Kingdom. She is definitely not suitable to be the emperor of our Yanfeng Kingdom!"

"Whether she is suitable or not, it is not something you can decide whether she is suitable or not." Wu Fan said: "Your Highness Seventh Princess is the descendant of the late emperor and is qualified to inherit the throne. When the late emperor was still alive, she also favored her well. Who in the world knows this? Moreover, the Seventh Princess has been smart since childhood, and has prestige whether among the ministers or among the people. Now, the light words of Shangshu Hou are not suitable, so he wants to deny everything about the Seventh Princess. Is this too arbitrary?"

Hou Chong looked at Wu Fan tightly. He didn't expect that someone in this army would contradict him so directly.

"What do you know? I said she is not suitable, but it is not suitable!" Hou Chong said: "If you don't obey my orders, I can change you now!"

In Hou Chong's opinion, he was the Minister of War, and changing the deputy general of another team was not a big deal for him.

However, he did not see panic and regret as he wished in Wu Fan's face.

Wu Fan looked at Hou Chong and suddenly changed the subject: "Shangshu Hou, did you kill the eldest prince Zhao Xuan?"

"What are you talking nonsense?" Hou Chong was shocked, obviously not expecting Wu Fan to suddenly say this.

"Nonsense?" Wu Fan said with a light smile: "This matter is actually not difficult to investigate. You lied to His Majesty that the eldest prince was dead, but unexpectedly, you would meet the eldest prince on the road. In order to prove yourself, you killed the eldest prince with your own hands. Many people witnessed this matter. Although you later told those people to keep this secret for you, some people could not bear it and told it out."

"And, what's even more excessive is that you poisoned Your Majesty in the inn! You also blamed the rebels for this matter!"
