Karucci is now in a difficult situation.
Although he was a general in the Western Frontier, he was not involved in the planning of these operations at all.
These plans were all decisions made by his elder brother Kadan and the Prince of Jin, but he couldn't talk about them, especially since his elder brother had just died. The only thing he could do now was to take revenge!
"Siro, what do you mean by that?"
Kaluch roared, "Why didn't you object when the king made the plan? Now that the king has just been killed by his enemy and his body is barely cold, you jump out to oppose it. Do you want to usurp the throne?"
Xiluo was a smart man. He knew that Kalucci was deliberately avoiding the topic, so he didn't respond to him. Instead, he said directly, "Everyone has seen how much this plan has failed along the way! Now that the King is dead, he has paid the price for his flawed plan, but you still want us to attack Chief Jing? Isn't this sending us to our deaths?"
Then he addressed all the heavy cavalry regiments, saying, "Even two grandmasters were no match for Chief Jing just now. Do you think we can do it? Do you really want to listen to him and go to your deaths?"
The heavy cavalry regiment was now filled with nothing but fear of Jing Zhe; they had no desire to go and die.
This time they didn't speak, but gave the strongest answer with their actions!
As soon as Xiluo finished speaking, several cavalrymen stood up and rushed to Kaluqi's side. Before Kaluqi could react, they quickly seized him.
Karuchi was stunned. He had never taken these cavalrymen seriously before, but now they dared to come and attack him.
Karuchi was enraged: "How dare you! I am the only general! Now that the king is gone, I am the king! How dare you lay a hand on the king?"
One of the cavalrymen laughed: "We don't recognize those who want us to die as our kings!"
Another cavalryman chimed in, "I think General Xiluo is the one who can become our next king!"
"What Thousand Generals of Xiluo? Call me Your Majesty!"
"Yes, King Xiluo!"
"..."
The cavalrymen in the heavy cavalry regiment looked fierce, but there were actually quite a few intelligent ones. Like a star surrounded by the moon, Xiluo was directly supported as the new king of the Western Frontier.
As for Karuchi, he was about to curse again, but the cavalryman, whom he had previously ignored, held a sword to his neck, and he dared not say another word.
Actually, if he had looked at these cavalrymen with respect, he wouldn't be in such a bad situation now. These cavalrymen have finally seized this opportunity, so why would they let him off easily?
For example, the guy holding the knife to Karucci, Karucci hasn't said a word yet. The knife has been pushed forward several times, and a bloody mark has appeared on Karucci's neck. You can imagine what would happen if Karucci said a word.
"Since all my brothers support me so much, then I shall respectfully accept the throne and become the king!"
Xiluo raised his arm and shouted, then added, "But brothers, rest assured, once I become king, I will treat everyone equally and will not mistreat you! Most importantly, I will not follow the example of the brothers Kadan and Karucci and lead you all to your deaths!"
"King Xiluo, King Xiluo..."
The heavy cavalry regiment cheered. In fact, there were quite a few generals here, and even more who wanted to be king. But under these circumstances, how many people dared to stand up?
After all, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. Since Xiluo has chosen to become the king, he will have to face Jing Zhe. Those who want to become the king lose their interest just thinking about this. Let Xiluo do it!
...
Watching a country's dynasties rise and fall right before his eyes, Jing Zhe touched his nose, feeling both amused and exasperated.
Damn it, these people are treating steamed buns like they're nothing!
So he coughed twice.
Xiluo was still immersed in the joy of becoming king for the first time when he suddenly heard Jing Zhe cough. He immediately came to his senses: whether he could be king for a long time or whether he could hold on until he returned to the Western Frontier depended on the mood of the elder brother in front of him!
So he immediately ran to Jing Zhe's horse, knelt on one knee, bowed deeply, and said very sincerely, "President Jing, we were all under the orders of Kadan before, and had no choice in the matter, which offended you. We hope that you will be magnanimous and spare our lives!"
Xi Luo knew that simply saying something indifferent wouldn't move Jing Zhe, so he continued, "President Jing, I, Xi Luo, guarantee with my life that as long as President Jing lets us off this time, Xijiang will willingly become a vassal state of Anguo, and Xijiang will pay tribute to Anguo with Xijiang treasures every year from now on!"
Jing Zhe glanced at Xi Luo. He had only heard the saying "Those who are not of our kind are sure to have different hearts" before, but now he felt it deeply because he had been betrayed by Kadan once. As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, twice shy, he would never trust the people of Western Xinjiang again.
In fact, when he was betrayed by Kadan and attacked by the heavy cavalry regiment, Jing Zhe once had the idea of killing all of these heavy cavalry regiments without leaving a single one alive. However, now, his thoughts have changed.
Although Jing Zhe wouldn't believe Xi Luo's words, he was right about one thing: they were all Kadan's followers, and they could only follow along and do whatever Kadan told them to do; they had no say in the matter.
Of course, it's understandable that Jing Zhe killed them, but by directly killing these thousands of people, how is he any different from those ancient tyrants or those horrific invaders?
Can he be happier?
Jing Zhe didn't think so.
In addition, Murong Xi is now pregnant. Having lived two lives, this is the first time Jing Zhe will have a child of his own. His mentality is slowly changing. After killing so many people with his own hands, it is painful for Jing Zhe to hold his own child with these hands.
Moreover, he had already killed the Prince of Jin, the leader of Qingyang Sect, and Kadan. The remaining people posed no threat to Jing Zhe, so there was little point in killing them. He could simply consider it a way to pray for good fortune for his unborn child.
Thinking this through, Jing Zhe nodded and said, "You said it yourself."
Xi Luo was overjoyed when he heard Jing Zhe say this.
"President Jing, I absolutely keep my word! If President Jing doesn't trust me, I can write a guarantee for President Jing right now!"
The heavy cavalry regiments behind Xiluo were also overjoyed. After being bombarded by the Southern Qi Thunder Army yesterday, their confidence, which they had built up over the years, had been completely eroded.
The way Jing Zhe casually annihilated the Prince of Jin and the Qingyang Sect Leader had destroyed their last remaining confidence and pride. Their only thought now was to return to the Western Frontier alive, and Xi Luo had done it. If Kaluqi had been in command, they would probably have already given away their lives!
