Chu Yang's complexion remained calm.
"Your Iron Cloud's army will launch a surprise attack tomorrow morning. Then, I will immediately return to the army to fight a decisive battle. And, I will give you – King of Hell Chu – a glorious victory!" Diwu Qing Rou said word by word, "I will owe you a big favor today!"
"What if I say no?" Chu Yang asked expressionlessly.
"Then, I will immediately lead the army back to Great Zhao. I, Diwu Qing Rou, won't be able to destroy Iron Cloud in my lifetime. But, Iron Cloud won't be able to unify the world! That way, I won't face any imminent disaster. At least, I — Diwu Qing Rou — can live for two or three hundred years with my martial power. But, I don't know if Minister Chu can afford to wait for two or three hundred years! "
Diwu Qing Rou raised his head and looked at Chu Yang. He slowly said each word.
Chu Yang stood up. His face was gloomy as he slowly walked forward. He frowned.
There was no doubt that Diwu Qing Rou's previous preparations were all for this one condition! Moreover, this condition had hit Chu Yang's weakest point!
Two or three hundred years!
Could Chu Yang afford to wait if this situation continued for two or three hundred years? He couldn't afford to wait! He couldn't afford to wait no matter how he looked at it!
However, these were the lives of eight million soldiers!
If Chu Yang accepted Diwu Qing Rou's proposal, then the war would end, and the world would be decided. And, he would have completed his first big step in reversing the heavens! He would've been able to leave the Lower Three Heavens and go to the place he had longed for for a long time!
His lover was still in the abyss of suffering there. She was waiting for him to save her. His good brothers were fighting a bloody battle for a common future. His master was waiting for him there …
Chu Yang wanted to go there!
But … Chu Yang couldn't afford to pay the price of eight million people! It was normal for people to die in an ordinary war. Chu Yang wouldn't have felt any psychological burden if Diwu Qing Rou hadn't come here first. He would've killed millions of people with his own hands if the decisive battle happened today!
Because this was war! It was an unstoppable war. Either you die or I die!
But, Diwu Qing Rou came.
He told Chu Yang his plan, the direction of the war, and its outcome. It was equivalent to two people plotting for the same goal.
This was equivalent to two people conspiring to kill eight million people!
Chu Yang couldn't afford to pay such a price!
Diwu Qing Rou seemed to have noticed Chu Yang's urgency. He calmly waited for Chu Yang's reply after he raised this condition.
"Why do you think that I won't be able to wait?" Chu Yang muttered, "Even if Great Zhao has Diwu Qing Rou, you won't be able to last for two or three hundred years! If you really retreat, then in thirty to fifty years, I have absolute confidence that I can destroy Great Zhao! "
"But 30 to 50 years … Can you afford to wait?" Diwu Qing Rou didn't deny it. Instead, he asked. He didn't wait for Chu Yang to speak. Instead, he smiled gently and said, "Ever since you came to Iron Cloud, all of your methods have been swift and decisive. Your methods are Reiho's methods, but not the way to rule a country. "
"Actually, you can use a gentler method for everything. That way, there won't be any side effects. You don't know what methods you're not using. "
Diwu Qing Rou casually said, "As for Great Zhao, you didn't need to go, but you still went."
He pondered and looked at Chu Yang, "I always feel that all your actions contain a very strong sense of purpose! I don't know your purpose, but I know that your world isn't in Lower Three Heavens! "
He looked at Chu Yang. Chu Yang also looked at him quietly for a long time. Diwu Qing Rou said, "You're looking forward to a bigger world! A world that belongs to you! So, don't talk about 30 to 50 years. You can't even wait for three to five years! "
Behind Chu Yang, Wu Qian Qian's delicate body trembled. As the person who understood Chu Yang the most, she knew that Diwu Qing Rou's guess was no longer a guess. It was a fact!
"So, I launched the decisive battle ahead of time. You shouldn't oppose it. But, more people will die than expected." Diwu Qing Rou exposed a cruel smile.
"I'm curious why you made such a change." Chu Yang frowned, "You said that the destiny of your clan is one of the reasons. But, I don't believe that it's the only reason!"
Diwu Qing Rou remained silent for a long time. Then, he finally said, "I didn't expect the Diwu Clan to rise again at that time. I came to Lower Three Heavens so that my talent and knowledge wouldn't be buried. I also wanted to be a meritorious minister! Even if I'm a powerful minister, as long as I unify the world, I'll naturally be immortalized! "
"What I seek is nothing more than a false reputation." Diwu Qing Rou said in disappointment, "But, I didn't expect that the weather would change just as I was about to succeed. And, my life's work would go down the drain! In other words, even the heavens don't want me, Diwu Qing Rou, to be immortalized for eternity! "
His eyes emitted a dazzling radiance. He spoke slowly and softly in an elegant and frightening tone, "Since I can't be immortalized for eternity … I'll go down in infamy for ten thousand years! If I can't be immortalized for eternity, then I'll … be infamy for eternity! "
"So, I deliberately set up this killing trap!" Diwu Qing Rou looked at Chu Yang and slowly said, "Do you agree or not? It's easy for you and for me …
"As for the eight million soldiers …" Diwu Qing Rou insipidly said, "The lifespan of an ant isn't long."
"This decision is too crazy … I won't agree to it!" Chu Yang said indifferently. His eyes exposed a trace of pain as he said, "Eight million people … will be buried by my hands! I can't bear to do this. "
Diwu Qing Rou looked at him for a long time before he said, "King of Hell Chu …"
"King of Hell rewards the good and punishes the evil." Chu Yang said with an expressionless face, "I can kill eight million people on my own if the war breaks out. And, that's because they want to kill me. But, I, Chu Yang, disdain to do such a thing!
"Then, do you know that … Great Zhao will withdraw its troops if I leave today … Then, it will be a war of at least thirty to fifty years!" Diwu Qing Rou said, "The war will inevitably continue for thirty to fifty years. It won't produce any bloody luck. But, the total number of people who will die in the war will be far greater than eight million!"
"You think that you are being charitable today. So, you let go of the lives of eight million people. But, you will have to pay the price of at least ten million casualties in the future. Aren't those living creatures?" Diwu Qing Rou asked aggressively.
"Those are living creatures. But, I will have a clear conscience!" Chu Yang smiled faintly and said, "But, I will have a guilty conscience if I conspire with my enemy to kill my own soldiers … even if it's just one of them!"
"I want a clear conscience. I won't hesitate to wield my sword as long as I have a magnanimous heart. I won't hesitate to kill everyone in the Heavenly Layer as long as I think it's right!" Chu Yang seemed to have untied the knot in his heart. He suddenly said with a clear voice, "But, I won't go against my heart and plot against my own people … even if it's just a strand of hair!"
"This is King of Hell Chu's bottom line!"
Chu Yang said proudly.
This mental barrier was suddenly removed. Chu Yang suddenly felt that the cultivation of his mental state had improved by another step!
"Clap, clap, clap!" Diwu Qing Rou gently clapped his hands and praised, "You are indeed King of Hell Chu. You are worthy of being called a maverick."
Suddenly, the ground started to shake at this moment.
Chu Yang's complexion changed. His eyes turned sharp as he looked at Diwu Qing Rou.
Diwu Qing Rou sighed and said, "You don't want this. But, I still want to give you this glorious victory! Moreover, I still owe you a favor! This matter is indeed somewhat sullen. "
Chu Yang's complexion changed.
The sound of the ground shaking was very far away. But, it lasted for a long time.
This was clearly the sound of a million-strong army moving out!
"They have already started the pursuit?" Chu Yang asked somewhat blankly.
"If I'm not mistaken … then, Tie Bu Tian and Tie Long Cheng's three-million-strong army have already entered the battlefield apart from your three-hundred-thousand soldiers!" Diwu Qing Rou chuckled.
"Minister Chu, there have been many topics since I arrived … but, I have paused for every topic." Diwu Qing Rou sat calmly. He smiled and said, "You have spoken 170 sentences since I arrived. But, it only took you half-an-hour."
"But, I … In order to deal with your 170 sentences, I spoke 421 sentences. And, it took me three hours! "Diwu Qing Rou said," Four hours have passed. Moreover … it's daybreak! "
"These four hours are enough for Tie Long Cheng to react and launch the pursuit," Diwu Qing Rou chuckled.
Chu Yang's complexion turned cold. He was about to rush out.
"They have already set out. And, they have already stepped into my trap. It's too late even if you rush out now. Minister Chu, your three-hundred-thousand soldiers will decide the outcome of this battle … so, it's better not to act blindly without thinking, "Diwu Qing Rou said indifferently.
Chu Yang was about to take a step forward when he stopped. He suddenly turned his head, and looked at Diwu Qing Rou. His pupils shrank dangerously, "You schemed against me?"
"I schemed against you. Shouldn't I?" Diwu Qing Rou chuckled, "Moreover, I wanted to give you a big gift …"
Chu Yang slowly sat down. He calmed down and said, "But, how can you be sure … that Tie Long Cheng will attack?"
"That's because Tie Long Cheng is the Supreme Commander. But, you have the right to make the decision!" Diwu Qing Rou said, "Tie Long Cheng is supporting Iron Cloud on his own. He has worked hard and made great contributions. Tie Bu Tian won't have any objection to Tie Long Cheng's decision. He is the person Tie Bu Tian trusts the most. Moreover, he trusts him blindly! Therefore, there's no need to be afraid of this uncle and nephew pair! "
Diwu Qing Rou sighed, "This was my greatest assurance in defeating Iron Cloud. But, it has now become a blessing for Iron Cloud … Haha, the will of the heavens is unpredictable.
"Tie Long Cheng will eventually step into my plan. And, Tie Bu Tian will also step into my plan if he steps in. Only you can turn the tide! Therefore, the variable in this entire plan is you … "
Diwu Qing Rou casually said, "Therefore, I didn't come here tonight to discuss conditions with you. Instead, I came here to entangle you for four hours!" He smiled and said, "With the status of Diwu Qing Rou, it is not difficult for me to entangle you for four hours."
"But, the overall situation is already set in stone in these four hours! Even if you are the Master of Calamity Sword, you won't be able to reverse the situation. Moreover, you aren't, "Diwu Qing Rou said slowly.
(I have been under a lot of pressure these past few days. I have already thought about the ending of the Lower Three Heavens. It will be over in about ten chapters. But, I am still racking my brain for the entry point of the Lower Three Heavens. On one hand, it is ending. On the other hand, it is beginning. But, I have to fulfill my promise. I have to do my best to write every chapter. I have to do my best to make every important character leave a deep impression in everyone's mind. That will be my proudest thing. It will also be my greatest success. And, I want to be proud of it. So, I can't be careless.)
And, Diwu Qing Rou is a wise man. He can't let him end things carelessly. Even if he has to change his position, he must do it beautifully.
Diwu Qing Rou has been dreaming of these past few days … very sad.
(I don't have anything to do today. I finished writing in advance. But, I want to go out and relax. So, I took the initiative to invite a classmate for a drink to relieve the pressure.)
I am shamelessly asking everyone for votes! Monthly votes, recommendation votes, and evaluation votes. Of course, there are also subscriptions. I hope that capable brothers and sisters can support me. Of course, this is only if you think that this book is worthy of your subscription support. Haha.)
