After Jiang Jie left the underground cave, he headed towards the island in the middle of the lake.
If there was no system, he would have thought it was a miracle that his serious injuries were cured by sleeping for half a month.
But with the system, half a month of dormancy is equivalent to half a month of no tasks and no practice, while others are constantly making progress. Relatively speaking, it’s really a loss!
In half a month, the contribution points of the Corpse-Killing Demon can be exchanged for ten pills that can heal himself. Calculated this way, it is still a loss.
Moreover, he, the lord, has been out of contact for half a month, and he is afraid that something will happen to the territory!
Only when he saw Lin Yu and the four Tiandao mercenaries from afar and heard them shouting "Lord!" did Jiang Jie feel the warmth and security of being home.
"Nothing happened in the territory during the half month I was out of contact, right?" Jiang Jie was happy, as if the estrangement between him and the four people had never existed. He asked as usual with a smile.
When the four of them came over, they slowly surrounded Jiang Jie. After hearing his question, the four of them, feeling guilty, immediately started to take action!
"kill!"
When Jiang Jie was besieged by the four Tiandao mercenaries who had come to pick him up, he was stunned for a moment and immediately realized that things were heading for the worst.
Something must have happened in the territory!
"What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel?" Jiang Jie shouted angrily while defending himself.
"Aren't you going to rebel?"
Jiang Jie was just relieved when he heard they said they were not going to rebel, but then he heard: "They have already rebelled!" and his heart was shocked!
"What?! Already rebelling? This fast? Impossible! Impossible! What about the Jiang family? What have you done to them?"
"How is it? What do you think? The Natural Race is destroyed!"
Genocide?!
The whole clan is exterminated!
hehe……
Unexpectedly, he became the last head of the Jiang family!
When he was in the Gu Principality, Jiang Jie was very disdainful of Gu Yan, the last head of the Gu Qing family. He thought that Gu Yan was too stupid and deserved the decline of the Gu family.
However, he did not expect that in the blink of an eye, he would become the last head of the Jiang family!
It is even worse than the Gu family. Although the Gu family has declined, the family is still being passed down and the heroic spirits of the family are still being worshipped.
And he actually wiped out his entire clan, leaving his family without anyone to offer sacrifices to the heroic spirits!
"Lin Yu, I don't believe what they said. Tell me, is it true?" Jiang Jie asked Lin Yu in disbelief.
"Yes!" Lin Yu answered with one word, gritting his teeth and looking guilty.
"Why? Why! Why…"
"To survive! Your father thought you were dead. For the inheritance of the Jiang family and the status of lord, he wanted to kill us and start a purge! We had no choice. In order to survive and for the sake of our family, we had to resist and launched a coup." Lin Yu said slowly. The further he went on, the more determined his eyes and tone became.
Jiang Jie laughed heartily, tears welling in his eyes. "Yes, that's my father's style! And it's the style of a qualified lord! The old lord of the Gu family was soft-hearted and didn't purge the thirty-six people, which led to the decline of the family. But my father, the old lord of the Jiang family, is definitely not a soft-hearted person!"
How could a man who let his three sons fight each other for life and death for five or six years, and only Jiang Jie survived in the end, be the successor lord, be a soft-hearted person!
After the purge, although the overall strength will be reduced, the Gu family's rule will be stable. The island in the middle of the lake is surrounded by water and is very safe. They can rest and recuperate for ten years before recovery!
Just ten years, which is nothing to the Jiang family that has ruled for thousands of years!
If it were him, he would also consider a purge!
There are no less than ten records of such purges in the Jiang family inheritance hall!
Didn’t the Jiang family still survive?
But things are a little different now!
After the Corpse Demon Disaster, the territory was lost and all its inhabitants were concentrated in a small space. At the same time, the lack of resources led to sharp conflicts between the different classes.
Many old methods are no longer suitable in this environment.
Especially the emergence of the Tiandao mercenaries broke the original absolute imbalance in class strength.
It gave the nobles and commoners the most powerful leaders and material support, broke the monopoly of the lords, and gave them the strength and capital to fight against the lords' families!
This is also the conclusion Jiang Jie came to after this failure!
He was already planning to go back and correct his mistakes!
Unfortunately, it’s too late!
The old tactics used in the past have led to alienation between all classes and the Jiang family!
In the end, it led to the extermination of the entire clan!
Jiang smiled bitterly and said, "I have realized my mistakes. When I come back this time, I will correct the wrong policies I made some time ago. Why can't you wait a little longer?"
Lin Yutong smiled bitterly and said, "The situation doesn't allow it! We want to wait, but the old lord won't! The old lord believes you've died, and he wants to destroy our family. We're only protecting ourselves!"
Jiang Jie believed that what Lin Yu said was true, and it was reasonable!
However, Jiang Jie could not accept this fact!
"Lin Yu, your Lin family should be in charge of the territory now!" Although Jiang Jie's statement was a guess, his tone was very certain!
Lin Yu nodded.
This is a fact and cannot be refuted!
Under the circumstances at the time, only his father could obey and become the first Speaker of the Parliament.
However, judging from the results, it was indeed the Lin family that gained the greatest benefit.
Jiang Jie was right to hate him!
"During my trip to the Gu Principality, I saw the ruling Jin family and how prosperous they were under the parliament's rule. I had a bad feeling! I thought the Lin family might replace the Jiang family."
"So, I distanced myself from you and began to reuse the secret guards I used to hate the most. I entered the Heritage Hall and learned the methods of governing a country that I used to hate the most."
"This defeat in the martial arts competition with the Sun family finally made me wake up and plan to abolish the secret guards and abandon the Jiang family's shady tactics. Haha... I didn't expect it to be too late. Our Jiang family has followed in the footsteps of the Gu family!"
Lin Yu's heart ached, and he cried out, "My Lord, if you are willing to give up your revenge, I will guarantee your life! How do you think?"
Jiang Jie looked towards the island in the middle of the lake, tears streaming down his face.
"Staying alive? With my strength, there must be many limitations. The simplest way is to make me lose my power and my system. Make me live a life worse than death! What's the point of living like this?"
"No, I died gloriously in battle! I don't want to live in humiliation. I think the reason why my Jiang family was exterminated is because we didn't choose to surrender in the end, but chose to fight to the death, right?!"
"Haha... Our Jiang clan is one of the ten kingdoms of the Central Plains with a long and rich history, not some barbaric nation without a legacy! There are only Jiang clan members who sacrificed their lives for their country, not Jiang clan members who surrendered! Go ahead! Let me have one last battle with you! I'll test your worth!"
Half an hour later, four people were seriously injured and Jiang Jie died.
Jiang Jie finally chose to die for his country!
