Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield-Chapter 681 - 276: "Though Chu Has Three Clans, Qin Shall Perish at Chu"? Off with the King of Chu! (Part 3)

Chapter 681: Chapter 276: "Though Chu Has Three Clans, Qin Shall Perish at Chu"? Off with the King of Chu! (Part 3)

"Give the King of Chu a grand burial, seek out the Royal Tomb of Chu, and inter him within it with the rites of a lord."

"Yes."

Zhang Ming immediately accepted the order.

With this King of Chu, Zhao Feng had already slain two kings with his own hands.

He killed the King of Yan,

because he colluded with Foreign Tribes, plunged Huaxia into chaos, and slaughtered the Huaxia People.

As for traitors to the race, Zhao Feng could absolutely not tolerate them.

But today,

for a monarch such as Fu Chu, Zhao Feng was the first to regard him with respect.

After settling matters with the Queen of Chu,

Zhao Feng slowly walked up the steps, glanced at the throne, then looked down upon the Chu Officials gathered in the hall.

"Do you choose to surrender, or not?"

As his words fell,

the dozens of remaining court ministers all fell to their knees.

"We are willing to surrender."

All replied with quavering voices.

Seeing this,

a trace of disappointment flashed in Zhao Feng’s eyes.

After all,

he looked down on those who betrayed their country and surrendered.

Yet Qin was in want of officials, and now, having just seized the Capital of Chu, had need of these turncoats to serve—so he could only spare their lives.

As for later,

once Qin dispatched its own officials to govern, these men would be sent elsewhere. For as People of Chu, they could hardly take root in Chu Territory even if they had surrendered and rendered service.

For traitors can never be trusted.

"Since this is so,

then assist my army to take full control of the Capital of Chu."

"Should any harbor rebellious intent—kill."

Zhao Feng spoke with a cold voice.

"This humble official accepts the order."

"We thank Lord Wu’an for your great kindness." The Chu Officials replied anxiously.

"Tu Sui."

Zhao Feng called out.

"Your servant is here."

Tu Sui came forward at a quick pace.

"Take these people away." Zhao Feng said gravely.

"Yes."

Tu Sui immediately accepted the command.

The Elite Soldiers entered the grand hall, leading the Chu Officials away.

"Convey my command."

"Control the entire Capital of Chu. Every soldier of the Chu Army who is willing to surrender—spare their life! Any who flee or resist—kill!"

"By my order, restrain the entire army. No one is allowed to harm the common people, nor to seize the people’s property! Any who violate this, will be dealt with by military law!"

"Furthermore,"

"Hang the heads of the chiefs of those three families outside the Royal Palace, and keep them in full view."

"Quickly dispatch troops to those three families, confiscate all their gold and silver, and display it before the entire city so the People of Chu can see how rich these so-called loyal and righteous families truly are." Zhao Feng issued command after command.

"Understood."

"I will see to it at once." Tu Sui immediately accepted, and quickly departed the grand hall.

Zhao Feng turned around,

looking at the throne of the King of Chu behind him.

"Kingship."

"Indeed, it is a rare thing."

"One day,"

"I, Zhao Feng, shall possess it as well—and not only kingship, but the imperial power to unify the world."

As he gazed at the throne before him, ambition surged in Zhao Feng’s eyes.

For he now understood the true nature of this world, knew of the so-called Spiritual Root Pill, of eating blood and flesh, of those Demon Immortals who raise the Human Race as livestock, and the so-called Immortal Cultivators.

Zhao Feng did not fear them. On the contrary, it stirred him even more.

The future!

Zhao Feng’s ambitions were not limited to Shenzhou alone—he would march beyond its borders, to the true Human World, and even the Immortal Realm.

All these were Zhao Feng’s goals.

Having been reborn into this world, and holding the trump card of collecting Attributes, Zhao Feng would be the mightiest of all.

To become Immortal, to become Divine!

In this world, it is not an empty dream!

And if you do not become strong, will you truly allow those so-called Immortals to corral the Human Race, to let yourself be slaughtered like livestock?

Zhao Feng would never allow it!

Since thus,

Zhao Feng would unite the strength of the Shenzhou Human Race, transmit the Martial Arts, and forge a great era belonging to the Human Race.

"My lord."

"The Chu State treasury has been found."

"A thousand trusted aides are standing guard. Shall we go at once?"

At this moment!

Zhang Ming hurried over, lowering his voice to speak.

Once you seize a royal palace, you plunder the royal treasury.

Every time a nation was conquered, it was the way of things.

This too was an unspoken understanding among Zhao Feng’s closest followers.

With every royal palace that fell, the trusted aide’s first act was to race to the treasury and hold it, awaiting their lord’s arrival.

"Go."

Zhao Feng snapped back to himself and immediately rose to his feet.

He walked off, following Zhang Ming.

The Royal Treasury of Chu.

Presumably, not much gold or silver remained within.

After all, those three families would never have allowed too much wealth to remain in the treasury, yet the other rare treasures should still be there—herbs and such must also remain.

All these were what Zhao Feng desired.
