Chapter 1163

Just after the generals were dismissed, the news that Zi Chen was a spy of the Qin and a traitor of the Tang spread.

"How is it possible that Zi Chen is a spy?"

"Who is Zi Chen?"

"You must be new. You don't even know Zi Chen. Zi Chen is a veteran bull-rider."

"What? A veteran bull-rider is a spy? How is that possible? He was a soldier for the Tang Empire for seven years and killed countless soldiers of the Qin Empire."

The news quickly spread in the barracks.

"Brother Zi Chen, someone said that you are a spy."

Zi Chen, who was recuperating, had his door broken open. A soldier rushed in, looking very anxious and flustered.

"What's the hurry? Speak slowly." Zi Chen glanced at the person and said faintly.

"I say, Brother Zi Chen, how can you still be so calm at this time? Outside, people are saying that you are a spy of the Tang Empire, a traitor."

"What? Saying that I am a spy, a traitor?" Zi Chen heard clearly, and there was a touch of surprise on his face.

"Yes, the news came from the main general's tent. There's absolutely no mistake. It's the new Hai family's main general. He wants to mess with you. Big brother Zi Chen, it was Lord Chen Liu who arranged for me to come. He said that you should quickly leave and hide outside for a while. I've already arranged a way out for you." The young adjutant said.

"Yes, Brother Zi Chen, our commander said that you can't beat them. They don't need evidence to kill you. He wants you to go out and hide for a few days. Everything will be decided when the commander comes back."

Behind the young adjutant, there were several people. Some of them were sent by the generals, and some didn't believe that Zi Chen was a spy and came to report.

Zi Chen's stunned expression gradually turned cold. After seven years, he also had the appearance of a ruffian soldier. He spat on the ground and laughed coldly. "I originally thought he was just an idiot, but I didn't expect him to have some skills. Others use me as a stepping stone to steal my battle achievements. Good fellow, this guy is even more ruthless. He is obviously killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. He directly wants to take my life."

"Brother Zi Chen, there is no time to lose. Let's go quickly."

Zi Chen waved his hand and said, "I'm not leaving, at least not now. You want me to die, right? Then let's see who's going to die first."

"Brother Zi Chen, what are you doing?" Everyone was shocked by the domineering Zi Chen.

"What am I doing? What else can I do? I'll kill whoever wants me dead."

"Brother Zi Chen, are you crazy? That's the commander, a member of the Hai family. The Hai family is a big family in the Tang Empire. Their power is intricate, and they are related to the Imperial family." Everyone was afraid that Zi Chen didn't know about the Hai family, so they quickly explained.

Zi Chen disdainfully said: "Commander, he is not even a fart in my eyes. As for the Hai family, they are at most a fart."

As soon as Zi Chen's voice fell, an indifferent voice sounded from outside the door: "What are you all doing here?"

Everyone was still in shock when a group of soldiers walked into the tent. The commander took out a military order and said to Zi Chen: "Zi Chen, right? We have some questions. I hope you will come with me."

Zi Chen looked at the commander indifferently. Under the escort of the soldiers, he followed the commander and left.

"What should we do?" When everyone saw Zi Chen leave, they didn't know what to do.

"I don't believe that Brother Zi Chen is a spy. Let's spread this matter throughout the camp. Although the commander is not here, as long as there is a mutiny, I don't believe that the commander will dare to kill."

"Yes, let's go."

These people rushed out one after another, wanting to use a mutiny to save Zi Chen. However, they were too young, or perhaps they had never been in a high position before, so they didn't know the style of a high position.

For them, killing people was the easiest thing to do. In their eyes, the law was used to kill people.

Zi Chen had just been brought to the Main General's tent when the Main General's personal guards surrounded the tent in three layers inside and three layers outside.

Hearing the footsteps outside, Zi Chen just smiled coldly.

In the tent, in addition to the young commander, there were three other commanders. Two of them were brought here by him, and the other one was from the army. However, he believed that Zi Chen was a spy, so he stayed behind to be a witness.

Zi Chen knew this person. Two years ago, when the Qin State broke into a city, this person followed the army and rushed into the city. Then, he secretly broke into a house and wanted to use force on one of the people in the house. Someone found out and told Zi Chen.

At that time, this person was Zi Chen's superior, a centurion. When Zi Chen felt it, he jumped down from the back of the old bull without saying anything. With a slap, he broke half of the centurion's teeth and made him faint.

Two years later, the centurion was now a commander, and Zi Chen was still a small pawn killing the enemy on the front line.

In addition to the four generals, there were also more than ten guards in the field. They were all the guards of the Hai family. There were also two fellows wearing long robes. Zi Chen only glanced at the other party indifferently, and he was able to see through them.

"Zi Chen, do you know that you are guilty?"

Seeing that Zi Chen entered the tent, not only did he not feel fear, but he also sneered and looked around. A touch of displeasure appeared on the Hai family's commander's face as he coldly shouted.

"If going to the battlefield to kill the enemy is a crime, then I know that I am guilty." Zi Chen said lightly.

"Hmph, you are a spy, a spy of the Qin State." Next to him, a commander said.

"Where is the evidence?" Zi Chen glanced at the other side.

A stack of paper was thrown in front of Zi Chen. Zi Chen bent down to pick it up and roughly looked at it.

"This is the evidence. What else do you have to say?" The commander asked coldly.

"These are my fellow soldiers. They are all warriors who died on the battlefield. But today, you put these deaths on my head. Don't tell me that people don't die on the battlefield." Looking at this extremely absurd evidence, Zi Chen couldn't help but sneer.

"And these are just one-sided letters written by the Qin State. Except for my name, they have nothing to do with me. Can this be regarded as evidence? If you believe this kind of thing, then I can casually get thousands of them and then charge you with the crime of being a spy."

"The evidence is irrefutable. You are still quibbling and slandering the lord. Come on, take him down." The commander shouted, and several guards came forward.

"Wait." Zi Chen suddenly said.

"What, are you ready to admit your crime?" The commander who was knocked unconscious by Zi Chen sneered.

Zi Chen shook his head and said, "I am not guilty. Naturally, I will not admit it. I just want to ask you a question."

Zi Chen looked at the Hai family's commander.

"What do you want to ask?" The Hai family's commander asked.

Zi Chen said, "I have served the Tang Empire for seven years. I have killed countless enemies and made outstanding military achievements. Over the years, many people have climbed up step by step because of my military achievements. I think you should also know this. But what puzzles me is that I am a soldier who serves the country and doesn't ask for any reward. Why do you want to kill me?"

"Because you are a spy."

"Whether I am a spy or not, you know best in your heart. What I want to ask is, is it really worth it to kill me, a soldier who is loyal to the country? Although I dare not say that I have won all the battles over the years, I can guarantee that as long as I am alive and stay on the front line, the people of the Tang Empire will not have to worry about the invasion of the Qin State. They will be able to live a peaceful life. But why do you want to abandon the interests of the people and put me to death?"

The Hai family's commander sneered and said, "Who do you think you are? You can guarantee that the people of the Tang Empire will live a good life. What's the use of your guarantee? You are a spy. If you stay in the Tang Empire, more people will die in the future."

Zi Chen waved his hand and said, "Well, let's not talk about this question for the time being. Then I can ask, what benefits did the Qin State give you to kill me through your hands?"

When everyone in the field heard this, their expressions all changed.

"You are a spy of the Qin State. Don't talk nonsense here. How can the dignified Hai family of the Tang Empire collude with the Qin State? Come on, take him for me." The Hai family's commander said angrily.

"Wait, I still have one last question." Zi Chen shouted.

"Ask."

"What I want to ask is, do you think that I am a spy? Is it your own idea or the idea of everyone in the Hai family?"

After asking this question, Zi Chen stared at the Hai family's commander. His originally calm eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.

The Hai family's commander actually felt the pressure in an instant. He didn't know how to answer.

Zi Chen said, "Think carefully before you answer. If it's just you, then the only one who will be implicated is you. If it's the entire Hai family, then I'm afraid the entire Hai family will be implicated. If things go wrong, then such a big family will disappear overnight."

The Hai family's commander's face changed again and again, but in the end, he said fiercely, "You are a spy of the Qin State. Now that there are witnesses and material evidence, not only do you not repent, you even dare to threaten me. Come on, take him for me. If he resists, kill him on the spot."

The guards next to him suddenly pulled out their swords and rushed towards Zi Chen. Looking at this posture, they didn't want to take him, but directly kill him on the spot.

Zi Chen sneered. His figure flashed and directly hit a guard. At the same time, he hit the guard's wrist. The guard felt pain and his wrist loosened, and the sword fell.

Zi Chen took the opportunity to hold the long sword and turned around to slash.

"Puff."

The guard's head was instantly cut off. Zi Chen had been killing people for seven years. All of his movements had become very natural.

After killing a person with one slash, Zi Chen held the sword and slashed again, just like how he usually did on the back of the old ox.

Before the guard's weapon reached him, the sword in his hand had already swept across the guard's neck, and a head fell.

Zi Chen only killed people by cutting off their heads.

"Puff." "Puff." "Puff."

There were three more sounds, and three more people's heads were cut off. Blood sprayed in the big tent.

After that, there was the sound of weapons colliding and the sound of heads being cut off.

Zi Chen held the sword and looked calm. He cut down the guards one by one and walked towards the Hai family's commander step by step.

The Hai family's commander stared at Zi Chen indifferently. His eyes were like looking at a dead man.

Zi Chen cut down the last guard and walked in front of the Hai family's commander.

"Among mortals, you are very brave, but …"

Without waiting for the Hai family's commander to finish speaking, Zi Chen sneered: "You want to say that you are a cultivator, a high existence, and you don't put me in your eyes at all, right?"

The Hai family's commander's expression suddenly changed.

The other three generals felt that something was wrong.

Two people in robes immediately flashed in front of the Hai family's commander.

Zi Chen sneered: "Before killing me, didn't the people of the Qin State tell you how many cultivators they have sent to kill me over the years?"

With that, Zi Chen held the sword and slashed towards the two people in robes in front of him.
