"Please give my regards to my brothers and sisters below."
After Tian Guang finished speaking, the knife at his waist was drawn again.
The lieutenant was kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down his face. When he met Tian Guang's eyes, he realized that there was no turning back.
"Brother, I will be down here with others to wish you a long and healthy life."
It was meant to be a blessing, but in this context, it sounded like a curse, and the lieutenant glared fiercely at Tian Guang.
With a swift stroke of his blade, Tian Guang's deputy general's head fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, alas..."
The strategists were surprised that even with such obstruction, they could not stop Tian Guang.
Tian Guang wiped the blood off his knife and swept his sharp gaze over the others in the tent. "I hate these corrupt officials more than anything in my life. If you all want to try, feel free to try."
[This lieutenant had been with him from the beginning, right? He killed him so easily after all this time?!]
[I can't believe it. At first, I thought they had shared hardships together; after all, the lieutenant had taken a knife for him on the battlefield, and they were both slaves, yet he ended up like this. Is it really true that they can't share wealth and honor?]
[To be honest, it's quite complicated. I even felt a bit of skepticism about Tian Guang's character during this part. Didn't you see the fear and apprehension in the eyes of his brothers and sisters who had risked their lives for him? It's true what they say, "too much purity leaves no room for fish," and these people were all greedy to some extent. They just thought that because of their past relationship, Tian Guang wouldn't kill them, but they were wrong.]
[Won't this cause chaos?!]
I actually think Tian Guang did a good job. If they hadn't killed them then, someone would definitely have committed the same act again. And if they had truly lost, everyone would have died.
[Wouldn't there be a more moderate approach? Like imprisonment? I feel that Tian Guang knew about the matter for such a short time, and despite so many people advising him, he dealt with the deputy general that very day without any delay. It seems too ruthless to me.]
[You people upstairs will never become Tian Guang. Tian Guang was a man of strong likes and dislikes. Young Master Zhou gave him food, but since they had a blood feud, he still swiftly killed Young Master Zhou. You haven't all forgotten, have you? He was someone who couldn't stand this chaotic era of war and the exploitation of the lower classes. These people followed him because of his hatred of evil, but none of them ever imagined that one day they would become his victims.]
[Killing him feels more in line with Tian Guang's character. If he weren't killed, he wouldn't be Tian Guang. And so many people wouldn't follow him.]
The new king, Kōji, won a great victory in this battle, and the kingdoms of Wei and Kōji once again began to assess the situation.
"But to be bought off with a mere ten thousand taels of gold, the Wu Kingdom is truly poor."
The new king looked into the distance and couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that Lady Cai escaped beforehand, otherwise my treasury would have been even richer."
"Your Majesty, the deputy general of Wu has been killed, and his head has been hung at the city gate as a warning."
The new king raised an eyebrow. "I didn't expect Tian Guang to be so good. He has more guts than those cowardly nobles in the capital."
Qiao lowered her head, not daring to look up, and did not reply.
"It's not about the quantity of methods, but their effectiveness. Do you think Tian Guang can kill all the other generals by bribing them? With all that glittering gold right in front of them but unable to get his hands on it, they'll probably only hate Tian Guang even more. You did a great job last time. Do the same this time."
"promise."
[Place your bets! Place your bets now! I'll go first, I'm betting on the Emperor! \(^o^)/~]
[Hey, why are you sneaking off?! Fine, I'll suppress the emperor too.]
[Since you're all betting on the Emperor, I'll bet on Tian Guang. I have a feeling Lin Gengxin's dramas won't be this easy.]
[Lin Gou's knife is unstoppable!!! How long has Grandpa Xu been on the scene?! I haven't even recovered from the aura of a wise and sage-like figure he exudes before he's gone!!!]
【ε=(′ο｀*)))Alas, both of the old master's disciples, Chuanliu and Pingyuan, are dead. It was so difficult to persuade the old master to return to the mountains, but he too has passed away.】
[I'm numb to it all. Even though Old Master Xu clearly foresaw that the future ruler of the world would be surnamed Zhou, he still came out of seclusion. I always felt that the expression on his face when he received the letters from his two disciples was heartbreaking. It was as if he already knew the ending, but still wanted to see why his two disciples had defied fate.]
[Huh?! Surname Zhou?! Neither the Emperor nor Tian Guang has the surname Zhou?! No way, no way, there's more to this story?! Wasn't this supposed to be the final season?!]
[The states of Tian and Wei were lucky; they managed to survive until the finale. It was truly unexpected. In the first season, I thought Zhou and Jin would make it to the end, but it turns out the two weakest states were the last ones standing.]
[I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it. The State of Xu was not weak, yet it was the first to go offline, and a strategist from its own country ultimately became the sharpest weapon that brought down Xu.]
This is insane, absolutely insane! You can't afford to miss a single minute of the last few episodes!!!
[To the person upstairs, I totally understand you! I watched the live broadcast of "Ascension" on Penglai TV to get the first look, and then I went to the bathroom and Tian Guo was gone!!! Who understands!!! (Weak, pitiful, and helpless.JPG)]
[Everyone's gone mad! Tian Guang entered the capital, Tian Guang is dead, the new king is dead, and Meng Nu set the fire—is this plausible?! This is outrageous!!!]
[This is outrageous! Did they all die in the end?!]
[I have a feeling they weren't all dead, since in the end it was just ruins. I can understand the new king ordering Meng Nu to set the palace on fire, since defeat was inevitable. She probably didn't expect Tian Guangzhen to dare to kill, and he really intimidated those people. I can also understand Tian Guangzhen wanting to kill the new king himself, since that's the kind of person he is. But what I can't understand is that the two of them were burned to death together in the palace!!!]
