The entire Liang State is a sacrifice in Ji Chengtian’s plan!
It turns out that this was Ji Chengtian’s real goal, which he had determined from the very beginning.
No wonder…
No wonder Ji Chengtian dared to deploy a large number of troops into the battle of Zhouliang despite such huge pressure on the Beiyuan border!
Chen Kuang had wondered before, if he did this, wouldn’t he be afraid of weakening the country’s strength, causing the Beiyuan defense line to be breached on a large scale, and ultimately losing more than he gained?
Ji Chengtian was not the crown prince when he was young, but the second prince. He had eleven brothers, each of whom was extraordinary, and most of them were not content.
After the crown prince passed away, the court of the Zhou Dynasty was in a turbulent situation with numerous factions and intrigues for a long time. All the ministers took sides, and countless people died because of this, both openly and secretly.
According to unofficial historical records, the last person the prince saw before his death was Ji Chengtian.
The final winner was none other than Ji Chengtian. Except for him, all the princes died for various reasons around that time.
Although there is no actual evidence to prove that the deaths of these princes are directly related to Ji Chengtian, what this represents is self-evident...
Anyway, it is definitely not God's blessing.
Being able to win in such a brutal battle for the throne shows that Ji Chengtian is definitely not a stupid person. On the contrary, he must be a hero with great talent and strategy.
Therefore, such an unreasonable decision made by Ji Chengtian was more surprising than if he was suddenly possessed by a ghost.
But now, Chen Kuang finally understood.
Ji Chengtian actually doesn't care whether the elixir of immortality is real or fake.
He just needs to make sure that he can conquer the entire Liang State... As long as the people of Liang State are still on that land, he can use the "Eternal Life Lock" to turn the entire country into his own nourishment.
The original "Eternal Life Lock" allowed the king to enrich the land and nurture the people.
And now, he wants to use the territory and people of Liang to benefit himself.
Because in theory, Liang State was now under the management of Zhou State and was a part of Zhou State. Ji Chengtian naturally became the monarch of Liang State.
Chen Kuang took a deep breath.
If Ji Chengtian's target was Yang State, Li State, or any other country... he wouldn't care.
But it happened to be Liang State.
No matter Chen Kuang’s previous experiences, or his life experience and memories, the Chen family in Liang State could not make him sit idly by.
And more importantly...
The country and its destiny are one and the same.
At the beginning, Ji Chengtian certainly did not expect that Su Yu would also use the "Eternal Life Lock", but took another more extreme path.
He directly tied himself to the fate of the country, and then stuffed the fate of the country into the body of an innocent musician through the elixir of life.
This musician, who seemed to have nothing to do with all the events, was sent out of Liang State under everyone's eyes.
In other words, an even stranger situation has now emerged.
The fate of Liang State is now separated from Liang State...
Chen Kuang looked at Jiang Wuya and said in a deep voice:
"Although nominally it's about sacrificing an entire country, in reality, even if the 'Eternal Life Lock' is used in reverse, its essential target should be the nation's destiny, right?"
The bald-headed Taoist scratched his uneven, sparse scalp:
"nature."
Chen Kuang sneered and asked, "After Ji Chengtian attacked other countries before, he didn't send people to take over by force. Instead, he uniformly let the locals who chose to join the Zhou Kingdom educate and manage the local areas. One of his purposes should be to preserve the country's fortune, right?"
"The fate of the country is not over yet, and the destiny of the country is not over. This will make it easier for him to set up the 'Eternal Life Lock'."
Jiang Wuya's coming this time seemed to have made it clear that he wanted to be the one who broke the wall. He answered everything Chen Kuang asked, as if he was willing to tell everything he knew.
He nodded when he heard this, and clapped his hands with some emotion:
"That's right... I haven't seen someone as smart as Mr. Chen in a long time. No wonder the King of Jingnan died at your hands."
Chen Kuang did not comment. He just felt a headache that he had not felt for a long time.
Originally, others wanted the elixir of immortality, but to put it bluntly, they just wanted Chen Kuang's life.
Of course he can also fight with others. After all, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. There is no reason for me to return the things you want to steal to you for safekeeping.
Chen Kuang was never afraid of death.
But now, the "ghosts behind him" that Jiang Wuya mentioned is not just the lingering ghost of Su Yu.
There are also the lives of tens of millions of people in Liang State.
Chen Kuang stared at Jiang Wuya in front of him: "Do you have a way to strip the 'national destiny' from me?"
Jiang Wuya chuckled and stretched out his finger.
The void pointed at the glass shadow lamp.
Jiang Wuya flipped his palm, made a hand gesture, and said mysteriously: "Although I am just an ordinary person, I am very good at fortune-telling."
"I previously calculated that this glazed lamp was a sign from heaven that things were turning around, so I specially sent it to you."
Chen Kuang had a blank expression on his face: "So, I should thank you?"
Jiang Wuya said shyly, "You don't have to be so polite."
Chen Kuang: "...keep talking."
This glass shadow lamp is indeed extraordinary.
Not only was it the magical power that could freeze even saints, but for him, the most magical thing was that he could reflect his own shadow.
Jiang Wuya said proudly, "This lamp is an ancient relic. Moreover, it is the 'Sky Hunting Instrument' left by the Human Emperor!"
Chen Kuang's pupils constricted.
