Chapter 197 Tragic Death! Everything Is Over! History Has Changed!
Prince Lian left.
Jiang Shouzong stayed alone in the secret room, silent.
There was a piece of paper in his hand, on which was a secret letter from Ying Que.
He read it once, and then fell into thought.
Then he read it again, and then read it again.
He burned Ying Que's secret letter on the candlelight.
Finally, he closed his eyes and began to think.
While thinking, his eyes became more and more determined and resolute.
Even resolute.
…………………………………………………………
Eight o'clock in the morning!
It seemed as if nothing had happened in the Marquis of Zhenhai Mansion.
The effect of the Black Dream II drug had passed, as if he had slept, and he didn't even have any memory.
It's just that the sequelae will last for a long time, including dizziness and nausea.
His Majesty's thousands of Dragon Guards knelt on the ground motionless, pleading guilty to the emperor.
Officials from the empire have entered the meeting hall one after another.
There is still an hour before the negotiation meeting begins.
Almost everyone knows that the next meeting is the last meeting.
All the struggles are over, and the truth will be revealed soon.
Either go to war!
Or compromise!
There is no third possibility.
So even if they feel dizzy or vomit, hundreds of officials and historians in the empire take medicine and concentrate all their energy.
Because the next moment will witness history.
The next moment will be completely recorded in the history books.
The fate of Eastern civilization may be completely changed.
……………………………………………………
"Master, Elder Leng Wuchang wants to see you." Shen Wuzhuo came to report.
In public, he called Master Yingque.
At this time, there were still forty-five minutes before nine o'clock.
Yingque put down his bowl and chopsticks and said to Princess Liyang: "Do you want to go with me?"
Princess Liyang said: "No, you go."
Then, Yingque entered the underground fortress.
These underground fortresses have become prisons, imprisoning more than 200 people headed by Elder Leng Wuchang.
Thirty-nine masters and one hundred and eighty-nine top warriors.
Everyone was completely unable to move.
Ying Que walked in.
There was only Elder Leng Wuchang in this small secret room.
His whole body was tied up, and a poison needle was inserted into his head, isolating all the nerve connections between the brain and the body.
Therefore, he had no feeling below his neck.
"Mr. Ying Que, you are amazing..." Elder Leng Wuchang's speech was a little unclear, which was also the sequelae of poisoning.
Ying Que moved a chair and sat down in front of Leng Wuchang.
"I could never have imagined that this great struggle and negotiation would come to this point." Leng Wuchang said hoarsely: "Our strength is obviously many times stronger than yours, but we are so embarrassed, and we can even say that we are defeated. We are completely led by you."
"Mr. Ying Que, do you know? What I admire most is not your wisdom, but your will, which is so tenacious. In order to achieve your goal, you dare to take such a big risk and use so many shocking means."
"It rained heads, which completely angered me "You, let us use the Heaven Punishment Technique to guide us to launch a sneak attack on the Marquis of Zhenhai's Mansion."
"Which of these moves doesn't look like a life-or-death situation? You have done them all, and you have forced us into a desperate situation."
"Your will is too strong. Ordinary people dare not even take one step, because every step is like a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and every step will bring devastating consequences, but you have come all the way to now, infinitely close to victory."
"According to your plan, it is to make us make a strong effort, then weaken, and finally exhaust ourselves."
Winning Que nodded.
Leng Wuchang said: "Especially the last move, using you and the emperor as bait, luring us to launch a sneak attack, and finally capturing us all, it is really too clever, too bold, and too risky. How should I say that the best disguise for a hunter is the prey. You are obviously a hunter, but you pretended to be a prey, playing a trick on us, and we really fell into your trap step by step."
"Awesome, awesome, too awesome."
"The more than 200 of us are a very important force in the Jiang faction. Once we die, Jiang Shouzong will lose the most critical martial arts force in Sky Book City. This is not just a broken bone, but the pain of a broken arm."
"Jiang Shouzong said that if this big negotiation fails, he will resign as the chief. As the leader of the old association, he will take all the responsibilities. He will sacrifice his position to save the entire Jiang faction. Because he knows that as long as the power of the faction is there, the influence of the Jiang family will be there. "
"And once all of us more than 200 people are dead, the Jiang faction should withdraw from the core power field in Sky Book City."
"So Jiang Shouzong may not care about losing the position of the leader, but he can't afford the cost of losing more than 200 of us."
Ying Que nodded: "Yes, he really can't bear it."
Elder Leng Wuchang said: "You should have talked to Jiang Shouzong indirectly, and alienated his relationship with King Mi. You alienated his relationship with the Holy Lord, and even said some unspeakable secrets between King Mi and the Holy Lord, right?"
Ying Que continued to nod.
Leng Wuqian said: "There is indeed a conflict between Jiang Shouzong and the Holy Lord! Yesterday you said that someone wrote a secret letter to you, saying that we would use poison gas bombs to attack the Marquis of Zhenhai Mansion. You actually wanted to tell me that King Mi was betrayed For us, this is a plan to alienate each other.”
Ying Que said: "Do you trust him so much that he won't betray you?"
Leng Wuqian said: "I still say what I said, there is indeed a conflict between Jiang Shouzong and the Holy Master, and the conflict is very fierce and somewhat irreconcilable."
Ying Que said: "So, there is definitely room for cooperation between us and you, right?"
Elder Leng Wuqian said: "You and Jiang Shouzong said that if he doesn't compromise before nine o'clock in the morning and doesn't agree to your conditions, he will kill us all, right?"
Ying Que said: "Yes."
Elder Leng Wuqian said: "Jiang Shouzong spent all his money last night to capture the emperor and kill you. He couldn't bear the price of losing more than two hundred of us. And because the conflict between him and the Holy Lord is irreconcilable, So he and you do have room for cooperation, and we have been forced into a desperate situation by you, and it seems that there is only one way to compromise. "
Ying Que said: "I think so too."
Elder Leng Wugong said: "Master Yingque, can I negotiate with you one last time?"
Ying Que said: "Please."
Elder Leng Wuqian said: "Give the Bone Collar to Sky Book City, and you will give us a substitute to be executed in public. Zhenhai City is still leased to the Shen Gong family, and the lease period has been extended for ten years. His Majesty the Emperor wrote a guilty edict to Sky Book City, It can’t be made public.”
Ying Que was silent.
Elder Leng Wuqian said: "It's completely impossible to agree, right? There's no room for negotiation at all, right?"
Ying Que nodded and said: "Yes, we have three conditions. Sky Bookstore publicly declares that I, Ying Que, have nothing to do with the Dark Academy. I am righteous and bright. I will inherit everything from the Ying family, including the Tianshui Province, but we will Send troops to retake it. The Mi family unconditionally withdraws from all the territories of the Shen Gong family. The Sky Book City must urge King Da Li to completely withdraw from all the territories of the Daxia Empire."
Leng Wuxian was silent for a long time.
After a long while, he asked: "Master Yingque, why do you think we are in the desperate situation today due to this great negotiation and struggle?"
Ying Que said: "I believe you know better."
Leng Wuxian said: "Jiang Shouzong is too conceited, too arrogant, and too pursuing the sense of ritual of pressing someone to death with one finger from the sky. In the final analysis, he is too proud, right?"
Ying Que said: "Yes, but I completely understand. After all, we were the first family in the East."
Leng Wuqian said: "Yes, he was too proud and proud. So when he saw that the grand negotiation was about to lose, he took the initiative to tell all of us that he was willing to take all responsibilities and resign as the leader. . The raid on the Marquis of Zhenhai’s mansion last night to kill you and capture the emperor was completely over the top in his eyes, but in fact, in your hearts and in the hearts of King Mi, it’s not worth mentioning, right?”
Ying Que said: "Yes, in the final analysis, he pays too much attention to the sense of ceremony and is too proud."
Leng Wuxian said: "Yes, he is too proud. So... he will choose to go to war. Even if you kill more than 200 of us, even if you ruin the future of Jiang's faction, even if you help the Saint of Sky Book City The Lord has completely eliminated the Jiang faction. Even if his decision to go to war with you is completely painful for his relatives and quick for his enemies, he will still choose to go to war with you."
"Master Yingque, the First Sect will not compromise."
"No matter how high the price is, he will never compromise. Because he represents the will of Sky Book City. In his mind, the majesty of Sky Book City is greater than the sky."
"Yes, once we choose to go to war with you, it will mean a great civil war and a great tearing of Eastern civilization. But once we compromise, it will mean the collapse of the majesty of Sky Book City."
"If he would compromise, he would not be the leader of the Jiang family."
"Master Yingque, someone else might compromise, but Jiang Shouzong will definitely not compromise. He will definitely choose to go to war."
"Master Yingque, His Majesty the Emperor is very proud, and Jiang Shouzong is equally proud. For their own dignity and their own dignity, they will do whatever it takes."
"Master Yingque, we will not compromise. Even if you cut us into pieces and execute Ling Chi, we will not compromise."
"Master Yingque, as I said just now, what I admire most is your extremely firm will. But on this point, Jiang Shouzong is the same as you, and so are you and me."
"I...can prove it to you."
"Master Yingque, I... admire you very much and sympathize with your family very much. On another occasion, we might even become friends."
"But we really won't compromise."
"Take care of yourself!"
After that!
Yingque stood up suddenly, rushed over, and hissed: "No!"
The next second!
"Bang!" There was a sound.
Elder Leng Wuqian's head suddenly exploded!
Completely shattered, completely dead.
He committed suicide!
He used his own death to prove his infinite will.
And his suicide is completely unstoppable.
Immediately afterwards...
"Bang, bang, bang..."
In other prisons, the top warriors from Sky Book City were imprisoned.
Heads exploded one by one.
Crushed one by one.
Die one by one.
One by one committed suicide.
Twenty people committed suicide at the same time.
Silent, extremely decisive, and extremely tragic.
Yingque was completely stunned.
He had calculated everything accurately, but he really hadn't calculated the scene in front of him.
In his mind, the Jiang family is the most important conservative force in Sky Bookstore, and they are completely villains.
All of them are stubborn and extremely greedy.
Look at Bai Yuchuan before, and Shen Wuyu before. Before he died, he behaved in an ugly manner and kept begging, just to survive.
Almost no one can live with death.
And now, Elder Leng Wugong and the powerful men of the Jiang clan.
Just like that, they blew themselves up one by one.
They suddenly lost all feeling in their necks, and only their heads could move.
So... they just blew their heads off.
Completely dead.
This is the most conservative force, but... it is also the most proud force.
Ying Que slowly walked out of the underground fortress.
……………………………………………………
The time is now, eight forty-five.
There is still a quarter of an hour before the final statement.
Ying Que returned to the room.
Princess Liyang and the emperor looked at him quietly.
The emperor said: "They are not willing to compromise, are they?"
Winner nodded and said, "Yes! I calculated the despicable personality very accurately. So far in this great struggle, I have always won. But my calculation of the noble personality is not accurate enough."
"In my mind, the Jiangs are conservatives among conservatives, and they are very unbearable. But I didn't expect that they are also idealists, even though... in my mind, their ideals are very stubborn and conservative, and very pedantic."
"I thought this group of people had been completely corrupted and put their interests first. I didn't expect that they were still so proud and decent."
The emperor smiled slightly and said: "I have done everything I have to do, so there are no regrets."
"A great leader is willing to pay any price for his goals, including failure."
"Since we want to start a war, let's start a war!"
The emperor spoke very plainly, as if he was recounting an unimportant matter.
but……
What she was talking about was about subjugating the country and losing the thousand-year imperial lineage.
So, she's amazing.
Because when she made the decision to protect Ying Que to the end, she had already made all preparations.
So... even when there is really going to be a war.
Even when the worst outcome was about to come, she didn't panic at all.
Princess Liyang instinctively looked at the emperor's belly.
She couldn't bear it!
She wanted to protect the Emperor, not just her lord but her sister as well.
She even wanted to protect the child in His Majesty's belly.
"Now is really not the time to start a war. Sky Book City is much stronger than us. All your plans in the White Bone Collar, Yingque, are still in their infancy. You need time so much. Now is really not the time to start a war." ”
"But..." Princess Liyang said: "Let's start a war! At worst, we will be shattered to pieces, at worst, we will have to start all over again, at worst, we will have nothing at all, ashes will return to ashes, and dust will return to dust!"
………………………………………………………………
Inside Tongten Pavilion!
Jiang Shouzong was having final discussions with other elders and alternate elders.
He is making final arrangements with members of the negotiating team.
"Gentlemen, this is the last moment, so I won't hide some words."
"I have conflicts with the Holy Lord, even irreconcilable conflicts. I completely disagree with some of his ideas and actions."
"Our Jiang family was once the first family in Sky Book City, and our Jiang family faction was the mainstay of the conservative faction. To some extent, my existence has hindered the authority of the Holy Lord."
"So this time the Holy Lord ordered me to negotiate, it can be regarded as killing someone with a borrowed knife. Because no matter what the negotiation is like, there may be mistakes and everyone needs to bear responsibility."
"I didn't have to come, but after thinking about it, I still came. Others put us on the line, and I put myself on the line."
"Last night, I mobilized all the forces around me to organize the Marquis Mansion of Zhenhai to kill Ying Que and capture the emperor. I completely broke through the bottom line and failed shamefully. Leng Wuqian and more than 200 people were all killed by Ying Que. Captured."
"If I don't compromise, Yingque's side will kill all the more than 200 people I sent."
"If I compromise, we will be the sinners of Sky Book City, and we will completely destroy the majesty of Sky Book City."
"Someone used a borrowed knife to kill people, and wanted to get rid of the martial arts power of my direct lineage, the Jiang family."
"I am not qualified to say this, because I have also done shameless things and I have exceeded the bottom line. But I still want to say it."
"This sentence is: despicability is the passage of the despicable, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble."
"At this time, in order to preserve the faction's direct force, and to continue fighting against the Holy Lord, I should liaise with the emperor, and I should cooperate with the emperor."
"But I can't do it. In the past thousand years, Jiang has been in charge of the Holy Lord of Sky Book City for five hundred years."
"In my mind, the majesty of Sky Book City is supreme. If I compromise, then this majesty will be destroyed."
"So I will never compromise. There is only one way, and that is to go to war!"
"Of course, this is my decision alone and has nothing to do with you. I bear all the responsibilities alone."
"The tearer of the Eastern world, the gravedigger of Eastern civilization, this is probably my future crime, I will probably become a historical sinner."
"But, this is my decision!"
Then, he took out a piece of paper and wrote two words on it: Start a war!
Because Prince Lian had just given him an ultimatum.
There will be no negotiations today. Jiang Shouzong appeared at the meeting to announce the result.
Either compromise or go to war!
So, he wrote a letter of war!
All of a sudden, more than 20 people present knelt down.
"I vote to start a war!"
"I vote to start a war!"
"I vote to start a war!"
All the elders and alternate elders raised their hands to vote.
Willing to go to war!
…………………………………………………………
Nine o'clock in the morning!
In the hall of the Marquis of Zhenhai, hundreds of people have all taken their positions.
No one spoke, and everyone held their breath.
The whole hall seemed to be able to hear the heartbeat.
The breath was suppressed!
Dignified!
Yet it has an epic feeling.
Dozens of historians were concentrating and looking solemn.
The pen in their hands was always suspended in the air.
Because what was to be recorded next would be a real historical event.
The next moment, the history of the entire Eastern world, and even the history of the entire world, would be changed.
The Eastern world's great civil war.
The Eastern civilization was torn apart.
At the same time, inside and outside Zhenhai City,
hundreds of thousands of troops were fully armed and lined up.
Duke Xia Yan's 200,000 troops were ready to go.
Mi's 100,000 troops.
The 200,000 troops of Sky Book City.
On the sea outside Zhenhai City, countless Sky Book City fleets had already aimed at Zhenhai City, ready to open fire at any time.
As long as Jiang Shouzong gave an order.
Hundreds of thousands of troops, all-out war!
…………………………
Ying Que walked into the hall.
Then, His Majesty the Emperor also walked into the hall.
According to the etiquette, the emperor should enter the venue last, because nominally she and the Lord of Sky Book City are on the same level.
However, she entered the venue first.
Everyone's heart sank.
The outcome of the war was inevitable.
The emperor entered the venue first because she had to accept the declaration of war.
All the officials of the empire were trembling, they wanted to cry, they wanted to beg.
But now, almost no one could change this outcome.
Ying Que was already very unpredictable, winning all the time.
Almost infinitely close to the final victory.
But... in the end, it still couldn't change Jiang Shouzong's will.
In the end, it still couldn't change the outcome of the civil war.
"Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang..."
The bell rang!
Everyone trembled.
The final moment has come.
Is this like the death knell of history?
Then, Jiang Shouzong of Sky Book City, with more than 20 negotiating members, slowly walked into the hall.
This scene!
It was full of shock and tragedy.
At the time of the full invasion of the Western Church, the two pillars of the Eastern world chose to start a civil war.
Jiang Shouzong came to the emperor and bowed slowly.
When the negotiation started, Jiang Shouzong was determined not to salute.
But this time, he actually saluted.
"Jiang Ren of Sky Book City, greets His Majesty the Emperor!"
The emperor stood up and bowed to Jiang Ren, saying: "Master Xia, meet His Excellency Jiang Ren."
Both of them seemed polite, without any previous tension.
Both of them were equally proud, tough, and resolute.
So at the last moment, they chose to give each other the last respect.
Then...
Jiang Shouzong of Sky Book City held the red declaration of war in both hands.
The declaration of war that changed the fate of the Eastern world.
The declaration of war that completely tore the Eastern world apart.
Step by step, he walked to the emperor and presented the declaration of war with both hands!

Note: The second update is here. It took a long time to conceive and was not completed at five o'clock. But it was more than half an hour earlier than yesterday.
I have been working hard to avoid becoming three updates in two days.
Brothers, can you give me the monthly ticket? Can you give me some strength?
