Chapter 547 is a battle between heroes, dragons and snakes rise up (asking for monthly votes)

Jiang Cai didn't know how to comfort the brother in front of her.

She was indeed Jiang Gao's counselor, but she also felt a sense of regret for Jiang Gao. Such a bright and elegant gentleman could be Jiang Wanxiang's successor, but he could not be the pillar of the country in troubled times.

Everyone can do what they want to do.

But Jiang Gao couldn't.

He is Jiang Wanxiang's son, the eldest son and the crown prince, and also the heir to the throne of this country. A king has no blood or tears. He needs to carry the great wishes of kings of all generations and the final storm of these hundreds of years of chaos.

But even so, using this kind of means, planning and pushing forward step by step, to make Jiang Gao change drastically, still made Jiang Cai feel complicated. Although it was complicated, he had to do it.

The great response, the whole world, all depends on this one thought.

In the eyes of the Grand Tutor, there was neither Jiang Gao nor Jiang Yuan.

All he needed was a king with enough ability, but he chose to use Jiang Yuan as a whetstone to make Jiang Gao transform and wake up. If so, there could still be a national war, a great world and a final battle.

After Jiang Cai listened to Jiang Su's plan.

She couldn't bear it after all, and asked, "What if Gao Er fails to break through this state of mind? What if he resists but is killed by Jiang Yuan? Grand Master, is this plan too sinister?"

The Grand Master, who was already extremely old but still as majestic as a mountain, looked at her and replied, "If you want to achieve extraordinary achievements, you must pay an extraordinary price."

"If you don't go through extremely difficult battles and don't put in the effort and suffering, then you want everything to go smoothly and you want success to come easily. Such an idea is nothing but a foolish dream."

"Abandon the fantasies you learned in the Self-Study Palace, Jiang Cai."

Jiang Cai looked at the solemn and majestic old man and asked, "Don't you care about Jiang Gao's life?"

Jiang Su didn't respond coldly.

Jiang Cai just left, and when he left, he saw Jiang Su standing alone in the yard. At that time, the Grand Tutor was about to send troops to intercept the Qin Emperor who was in high spirits. It was a rare sunny day.

Grand Tutor Jiang Su stood there, tall and with an inky black cloak hanging down.

Like a lonely mountain.

It was clear that at this time, Jiang Su's authority and military might reached its peak. Looking around the world, there were not many people who could be his opponents, and not many people who could check and balance him. He could easily use the two princes as pawns to kill each other.

The limit of powerful ministers and the supreme status of military strategists and generals.

In later history, it can be said that the person with the greatest power in the court was either the Grand Tutor or the Regent.

But under this slightly cool sunlight, Grand Tutor Jiang Su's back looked so lonely. Jiang Cai suddenly felt dazed. She recalled that her teacher had not laughed for a long, long time.

When the late emperor was still alive.

Even though this god of war has gone through endless battlefields, betrayal, killing, and abandonment, his face is as cold as his heart, but he still smiles and jokes with Your Majesty.

But now, he won't.

Jiang Cai walked out of the cold palace, walked out of the palace and the imperial city, walked through the streets, walked to the streets of the city, and walked outside. Jiang Gao's order came down, and the people were released and compensated.

The general guarding the city gate who had reported Jiang Gao's incident sat on a stone beside the trench, holding his gun, in a daze.

Jiang Cai called him several times.

The person did not respond.

Jiang Cai kicked him, and the general came back to his senses. Seeing the woman who looked pretty but had an extraordinary temperament, he grinned and said, "So it's Miss Cai?"

Jiang Cai said: "Yeah."

She paused and asked, "Have all the people been released?"

The gatekeeper grinned and said, "They were all released. According to your instructions, I prepared food and a hundred copper coins in advance. It's not much, so I'll use it as compensation for them..."

He is Jiang Yuan's confidant.

But at this moment, he clearly looks like someone on Jiang Cai's side.

Jiang Caixiu was a strategist, and even though she still had to follow the orders of Grand Tutor Jiang Su, she was still unwilling to watch Jiang Yuan slaughter the people, so she was trying in her own way. However, at this time, the former number one among the scholars in the academy was in a trance.

He just sighed and said, "The art of diplomacy is ultimately about taking advantage of situations."

Even if she tried her best, it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in this turbulent situation. Maybe she could protect some people, but that was only a part of them. What about those who died in forced labor and those who were buried alive? What could she do?
She suddenly thought of her youth.

At that time, she had already read through all the skills of the diplomats and strategists, and she considered herself a genius. Those guys in the academy were no match for her, and even her teachers could not beat her in the classics of the diplomats.

Then came the arrogant guy.

Jiang Cai was smart, and she had defeated the man who was said to be the best military strategist in the world. Just as she did in the past, she was waiting for the loser to admit defeat, but then that guy picked up a long stick.

She won the debate, but at that time she felt that the opponent couldn't afford to lose.

But now think about it, wasn't the behavior at that time also a kind of theory? No matter how brilliant the words of the strategists are, they are ultimately not as good as actual weapons. The so-called strategic maneuvers are not as good as the anger of the overlord.

Finally, take advantage of the situation and gallop.

In today's world, it is difficult to find a place for one's abilities.

The gatekeeper said: "However, fortunately, His Highness finally made a choice."

Jiang Cai nodded, but there was disappointment in her eyes.

Is this what you were looking forward to?

Grand Master.

She became a little quiet, looking into the distance, not knowing what to do. The city gate guards, who finally decided not to do such a thing as burying civilians alive, also looked into the distance. After the plan succeeded, they should have been relaxed.

But perhaps it was the repression of the past few years, or perhaps it was the final success, that made his spirit relax for a moment, everything slowed down, and his reactions became dull and slow.

Or perhaps they finally felt powerless.

Even the commander of the capital city, the contemporary leader of the school of diplomacy, in this period of time, is like a fallen leaf in a torrent, or a chess piece on the chessboard, just like duckweed, drifting with the flow.

We have no control over our destiny, and neither do we have control over our body.

Although it was a win for a while.

But I was just lost in thought.

Just thinking, is this what you desire, Grand Master?

But Jiang Cai didn't know that after she asked that day and left without getting an answer, the God of War who stood like a solitary mountain just looked into the distance, like a machine without any sadness or tears.

But after a long time, he said to himself:

"If it doesn't work..."

Jiang Su looked at the world in front of him and said, "Then Daying has no hope of victory. If we cannot defeat the world, Yuwen Lie will take action and take the prince away, hiding his identity, and I..."

Jiang Su reached out his hand and grasped the divine spear Jiemie beside him. This weapon, which was one of the most powerful divine weapons in the world, made a low whistle. Jiang Su's eyes were calm: "I will lead the last troops of Daying to attack the heartland of Qin and imitate the actions of the Shenwu King."

"If I can't win, I don't deserve to live in this world. I'll just get drunk before I leave with the world!"

"People like you and me, how can we live in such a shameless way and die like this?"

"A man of great courage, is Chen Fubi the only one who has such a heart?"

He drew out his magic spear, Silence, and shook it casually. The spear tip trembled and hummed, with a surging and murderous force. There was a chill on the spear tip. He walked calmly to the front line, waiting, waiting for the day when the gentleman would transform into a leopard.

If possible, Daying still has a chance to fight fiercely.

If not, then Grand Tutor Jiang Su will be completely "liberated".

The Grand Tutor who no longer cares about anything and has no worries will die, and the God of War will reappear on the 'corpse' of the Grand Tutor who did whatever it takes to achieve his goal. He will lead the last elite troops of Ying State and turn the whole world upside down, regardless of the so-called great unification.

He is the last remnant of the previous era.

In our era, with such lofty ambitions and aspirations, they were once magnificent and magnificent, and were not inferior to the Qin Emperor. Even if such aspirations are about to be extinguished, it should not be in this way.

It shouldn't have disappeared so sadly after burning all its strength.

How can the death of you and me not shock the world!

"I will gallop on the last battlefield of this troubled world with this body."

"I will use this body to shatter all heroes' dreams."

"Jiang Wanxiang, I will gallop and fight until my blood boils, and my life will burn like weeds into ashes, turning into white ash and scattering in this chaotic world."

The Grand Master of Ying State walked forward slowly with his spear in hand, his cloak fluttering. His eyes were calm and yet contained a sense of grandeur: "Perhaps, nothing is more suitable for the beginning of a peaceful world than the battlefield and fighting without reservation of a generation of military gods."

"People like me will become heroes praised by future generations."

"They will definitely become the most brutal enemy."

I don’t know whether it is lucky or unlucky.

Jiang Gao killed Jiang Yuan and used the blood of his own relatives to complete the emperor's coronation. Jiang Su, who was looking down on the world coldly, returned to the position of Grand Master. He did not turn into a desperate military god who would do anything at all costs and would never turn back.

Jiang Gao took the throne and immediately changed and reversed Jiang Yuan's previous practices. He issued an edict of repentance and announced it to the world. He still sent a certain number of troops to the front to suppress those "rebels", but only gave orders to find a way to make these people return to the fields.

………………

Queen He Ruo sat alone in the palace.

Her palms were a little cold as she sat there quietly. The past few years as queen made her steps unsteady, as if she was floating in a dream. His Majesty the Emperor was extremely good to her, better than he was to ordinary concubines.

She was actually calm at first.

He Ruoqinhu doted on his youngest daughter very much. He invited the best teachers to teach her martial arts and writing. Hunting, horsemanship, and marksmanship were all taught by He Ruoqinhu himself. From the beginning, Empress He Ruo understood very well that the emperor's kindness to her was for personal benefit.

The emperor was not kind to her.

The emperor is good to He Ruoqinhu behind her.

But everyone has their own chances of luck, and everyone will deceive themselves.

In the past few years, the daughter of a general has gradually fallen. She deceived herself and told herself that sentence -

She is different.

Especially during the southern tour, the Empress' boat was only slightly smaller than the Emperor's, and the rest of the etiquette and rules were the same. Jiang Yuan held her hand at that time and said that they should be like the late Emperor, with a deep love between the Emperor and Empress. "You are different, Empress."

The emperor smiled gently: "Everything I have, half of it belongs to you."

So she fell into the beautiful dream.

So her beautiful dream was pierced by Jiang Gao's sword.

She had never seen the emperor so flustered, nor had she ever seen Jiang Gao, who was usually as gentle as jade, look so arrogant. Even if he just glanced at her, her body trembled.

What a king's spirit this is.

She woke up from her dream, and when she woke up, she was already sitting here. For several days, no one came to take care of her. She gradually calmed down and knew that her father was still alive and the general situation of the world, and that it still needed a godly general like He Ruo Qinhu.

As long as father still has such great value.

She won't die.

Suddenly, Empress He Ruo's body trembled. She heard footsteps. When she raised her head, she no longer had the calmness and grace she had when she and Emperor Jiang Yuan watched the trackers pulling Juzhou. Instead, she was in panic.

The door of the cold palace opened and a female official stood outside.

She has a pretty appearance and an elegant temperament.

Jiang Cai.

Queen He Ruo's expression changed. She subconsciously took a step back and said, "Jiang Cai...you, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Cai looked at the food on the table without touching even a chopstick, so he folded his hands in front of his stomach and said in a cold voice: "I know that the queen has been in a bad mood recently and has been eating simple food, so I came here to give you a cup of tea."

Queen He Ruo's expression trembled.

Her hair was disheveled, and her big, beautiful eyes were now as flustered as a frightened little animal. She looked at the maid behind the female official Jiang Cai, who was walking slowly towards her holding a tray with a bowl of soup on it.

How could Empress He Ruo not know the harshness of the harem?

How could I not know the cruelty of the succession of the throne?

His face immediately trembled, and he took two steps back. He was tripped by a stool and sat on the ground. He supported himself with his hands and said, "You, you, what are you going to do?"

"I am the queen!"

"It's the Empress who rules the country!"

Jiang Cai walked forward calmly. The once high-spirited empress backed away with her hands on the ground. Her tone changed again. She seemed calm, but in fact she was still indescribably flustered. She gritted her teeth and said, "My father is He Ruo, the most powerful general in the world."

"He followed the emperor in his conquests for sixty years and made great military achievements."

"You can't kill me!"

She suddenly had an idea and said, "Yes, it was you who wanted to be ruthless. It was you who wanted to be ruthless. His Highness Jiang Gao was kind-hearted and was coerced by you into attacking his own brother."

"But even if he killed His Majesty, he must feel guilty."

"You definitely don't want to kill your sister-in-law. I still have your Majesty's flesh and blood in my belly. Do you want to murder the royal family?! You..."

Jiang Cai said: "It was His Majesty Jiang Gao who gave the order personally."

A calming word.

But it's like a sharp sword.

Empress He Ruo's hope was cut short again. She was silent for a long time before she said in a dream, "What...did you say?!" She looked at the bowl of medicine with a blank look.

Jiang Cai looked at Queen He Ruo and said, "Queen, please."

Maids and strong men came forward on both sides.

Queen He Ruo's last hope and expectation was actually Jiang Gao's kindness, but now, this last hope was gone. She wanted to dodge, but two strong maids grabbed her arms and forced her to drink the soup.

I just felt pain in my abdomen, and I fell down in a trance, feeling dizzy and dazed. I was already lying on the bed, but I could see that my clothes were stained with blood.

The baby, who had been pregnant for several months, had been aborted.

Empress He Ruo's face turned pale and she started crying out in disbelief. Jiang Cai stepped back, turned around and walked away. He was once the number one person in the academy, but now he felt like he was just a pawn in troubled times.

A gentleman changes suddenly.

Jiang Gao understood something.

Sometimes, cruelty and directness are the best ways to deal with things. If He Ruo is allowed to give birth to the child, many troubles will inevitably arise in the future. Party affairs and politics have always been cruel and ruthless.

He Ruo was only allowed to abort the child, but her life was saved.

In such a cruel matter of emperor change, Jiang Gao had already reached the limit of what he could do. He could not, and would not, cause bigger problems because of his weakness.

In the prison——

He Ruo Qinhu was tied up. The material of black iron was enough to make a magic weapon, but it locked up the body of this divine general. However, this kind of thing could suppress the master of the martial arts world, but it was absolutely impossible to lock up such a peerless divine general.

Ke He Ruoqinhu just sat there, with messy hair and beard, as quiet as a sculpture.

It was not the chains that bound him, but himself.

Amid the noise, footsteps were heard, and an official from the Dali Temple took out a bunch of keys with trembling hands, opened the prison door, and said, "General He Ruo, His Majesty is here to see you."

He Ruo is sitting here, just like a tiger crouching.

When he heard this, he opened his eyes, still with a sharp light in his eyes. He looked at the person approaching in front of him. Jiang Gao walked into the prison, upright, calm and peaceful.

He just came here alone.

Yuwen Lie didn't follow.

Jiang Gao seemed to know what He Ruo was thinking and said, "Yuwen went to look for General Qin Yulong. I came to see General He Ruo on my own initiative."

He Ruoqinhu finally spoke in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, aren't you afraid that I will take advantage of the opportunity and capture you?" He raised his arms, and the terrifying chains made of black iron locked his wrists and body, while the other end of the chain was directly connected to the entire foundation.

He Ruoqinhu shook his arm, and the shaking sound was crisp.

He Ruoqinhu said: "These things may seem powerful, but they can't stop me."

"If I want to kill you, it won't be any harder than killing a chicken."

Jiang Gao looked at him and said, "General He Ruo won't do that."

He Ruoqinhu remained silent. Jiang Gaojing sat quietly in front of He Ruoqinhu and waved his hand for someone to bring wine and meat. He Ruoqinhu remained silent, but just stretched out his hand to tear off the meat and eat it, drinking freely and heroically.

Jiang Gao said: "When the general and my father were fighting for the throne, he was trapped and locked up. General Gao Xiang was hungry for several days and finally got his prey back, but he couldn't light a fire to avoid attracting the enemy."

"General Gao Xiang felt that he couldn't take any risks, but my father insisted on lighting a fire and cooking."

"General He Ruo was seriously injured before. After he woke up, he knew about the dispute between the two of them. He didn't say a word, but just cut the raw meat with a knife and ate it. His attitude was wild and heroic."

He Ruoqinhu said: "Your Highness, you may as well say what you want to say."

Jiang Gao waved his hand, and heavy panting sounds were heard outside. Twenty strong men came in carrying a horse lance. They held up the horse lance with a stick. There were ten strong men on each side. Judging from their appearance, they were not disguised at all.

His body was shaking and veins were bulging.

It can be seen how heavy this weapon is. Ordinary people have no way to lift this magical weapon, let alone have the physical strength and spare capacity to wield it, gallop on the battlefield, and fight with brave heroes of the same level.

Only the world's top generals could hold this lance and fight on the battlefield.

This is exactly the magic weapon that He Ruo uses to capture the tiger.

He Ruoqinhu's eyes were bright as fire for a moment, but then they were restrained in an instant.

These twenty strong men placed this weapon here, and this magic weapon still exudes a deadly sharp aura here, making people tremble, as if they were back on the battlefield in the chaotic world, with palpitations in their hearts.

He Ruoqinhu looked at Jiang Gao, and Jiang Gao said softly: "When Jiang Yuan was the emperor, you failed to dissuade the king. This is not your fault, but you helped him to be cruel, which is also a dereliction of duty that you cannot get rid of."

He Ruoqinhu said with a look of despair and self-mockery:
"Your Highness, are you going to recruit me again?"

Jiang Gao looked at him, without answering, but said softly:

"I asked Empress He Ruo and my sister-in-law to drink the Luozi soup. Yuan'er's bloodline has been cut off. No one of the general's descendants will use this to bring disaster to the world, and they will no longer have any contact with Yuan'er, so as not to cause a major disaster."

He Ruoqinhu's expression changed slightly.

Jiang Gao stood up and said, "I won't say anything. You want the general to die. You can't make up for your mistakes. The dead people and the blood that has been shed will be imprinted in the history. It's your fault, and it's also my fault."

"Let future generations scold and spit on us for the rest of our lives."

"No matter you or I, we can't escape the judgment of history. Besides, General He Ruo doesn't need to feel sorry for me. You are not sorry for me, but for your father."

Jiang Gao whispered, "How can this final battle not result in casualties?"

"If we don't fight with all our might, how can we live up to the eight hundred years of glory? If we don't show our ambitions, how can we live up to the three hundred years of chaos, when heroes emerged in large numbers and great men surged forth."

"If not, how can we completely put an end to the flames of war and chaos and bring peace to the world? On the battlefield, the odds of victory and defeat now seem to be only fifty-fifty. By then, there will be casualties."

"The Grand Master and I will leave the most dangerous battlefield to you, General He Ruo."

Jiang Gao looked at He Ruoqinhu, who was sitting cross-legged and tied up with chains.

He Ruoqinhu raised his head, but because of his position and because Jiang Gao was facing the sun, He Ruoqinhu could not see Jiang Gao's face clearly. He could only see that the man had a straight back, not the gentle demeanor of a gentleman, but rather calm and resolute.

The action of him extending his hand towards him was too familiar, so familiar that He Ruo was in a trance. And that title, that voice, that fierce heroism, all made the famous general unable to control his sadness, grief and self-blame, and burst into tears.

The king's calm and determined voice echoed in this prison.

"I'll give it to you."

"Qualification to die on the battlefield."

He Ruo captured the tiger and burst into tears.

The chains were broken by this peerless general who was one of the top five in the world. He didn't know whether he was talking to Jiang Gao or to the figure that had already disappeared deep in his memory. He choked up and kowtowed:
"Dare to disobey orders."

"……His Majesty!"
