"Now that he controls 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers, he's lost track of his roots. If the imperial court hadn't nurtured him, how could he be where he is today? He has a wicked ambition! A wicked ambition!"
"Your Majesty, things have come to this. Could it be that Your Majesty is still going to show leniency to Lin Che? No one in the world can tolerate this."
Jiang Li ignored the ministers and quickly took the letter of challenge from the maid. The two words "War Letter" on it were very eye-catching.
The challenge was opened, and she was not the first one to see it.
[Your Majesty]
"I, Lin Che, risked my life for the Great Gan. I was a hostage for ten years, recovered national treasures, wrote war poems, and destroyed the Tiankeng. Who can even match my achievements?"
I treated Dagan like the bright moon in the sky, but Dagan treated me like a dirty ditch. Jiang Shangwu led his troops to burn my village and kill my people. This hatred is irreconcilable.
[Today, I am also leading my troops to attack Leishi City. This is a personal vendetta, a blood debt to be repaid with blood. If you take sides and overestimate your own capabilities, the fate of the 30,000 Zhenyuan troops will be yours.]
[The great rulers and ministers, listen to my words, the beacon fires of the thunder lion will illuminate the sky at night.]
[The divine lion has long been waiting, just waiting for the drums of war to shake the mountains and rivers.]
[Tomorrow at noon, under the city of Thunder, the two armies will face off to decide the winner.]
[Don't say the general has no tenderness. I swear to kill the traitors and maintain peace.]
Is this Lin Che really plotting a rebellion?
Jiang Li's face was filled with disbelief. She looked at the handwriting above and it was indeed Lin Che's handwriting.
"Your Majesty. The soldiers on the border are waiting for your reply. How should we fight against this rebel army?" The officer who delivered the letter spoke loudly again.
Jiang Li's eyes were sharp, and he exuded a sense of majesty. He pressed the question:
"Is this letter of challenge really from Lin Che?"
"Yes. It's absolutely true. A battalion of Shenji launched a surprise attack on our border outpost and shot a letter of challenge onto the pavilion with a crossbow." The officer's words were very certain and did not seem to be false.
Jiang Li looked at the ministers and said simply:
"Pass it around. This is a rare challenge letter. Check to see if it's real or fake."
The ministers passed it around and finally understood the contents of the challenge letter.
"Too arrogant!! Outrageous!"
"He's so proud of his achievements, is this his reason for rebellion?"
"Is this really the handwriting of Marquis Guanjun? As a great scholar, would he do such a rebellious and treasonous thing? You don't even need to think about it. Are you guys slandering him?" Zhang Erhe couldn't help but defend Lin Che.
"Hmph! Look at this anti-poem, who else but him could have written it? Zhang Erhe, how can you defend him? What kind of magic potion has he fed you?"
"Your Majesty, I beg you to send troops to defeat the rebels!"
"I beg your Majesty! Send troops to defeat the rebels!"
