Out of the ten main commanders, eight of them had already been decided. Everyone was well aware of this.
Only Tian Chang, Wen Lianmu, and Lei Zhanqian could compete with Gao Zhe for the remaining two positions. As for Tianjiao, which was outside of Qi, he didn't even consider it.
This sudden war seemed to be intense, but in essence, it was just a clash between the younger generation of the Qi Kingdom and the Jing Kingdom. Both sides wanted to test each other's strength, but they didn't want to escalate the conflict.
If the Hegemons fought with all their strength, countries like Qi and Xu would probably be reduced to ruins.
Therefore, from the perspective of Qi and Xu, they would rather act out this war themselves. At least they would receive compensation from the Hegemons after the war.
They had to choose between the two evils.
That was why the current situation happened. The younger generation of Tianjiao and Jing went to Xingyue Plain together. It could be said that the stars were fighting for glory.
That was why the commander of the Fighting Disaster Army, Yu Que, only observed the scene at Wanhe Temple but didn't come to Xingyue Plain. In reality, he was exerting his power on the world, not Qi.
On Xingyue Plain, other countries except Qi and Jing were just supporting characters.
While Bao Bozhao and the other eight were sitting on the fishing platform, Gao Zhe thought that if he spoke first, everyone would give him face and secure one of the positions.
After all, Gao Zhe was one of the few young masters who had been confirmed as the heir. His social circle was very influential. Yan Fu, Jiang Wang, Chung Geng Sheng, Li Longchuan … they all often went to drink and have fun. Although there were some small conflicts yesterday, it didn't affect the overall situation. The Gao Family and Junggenjia had interests involved. He, Gao Zhe, was also worth investing in!
However, as soon as Gao Zhe finished speaking, Lei Zhanqian, who was sitting diagonally across from him, immediately looked up and looked at him.
He sat like a tiger crouching.
His eyes were like the angry sea.
"You choose between the academic competition or the martial competition," Lei Zhanqian said.
Gao Zhe was speechless.
Are you f * cking crazy?!
There are still two spots left. I just opened my mouth, and you want to compete with me?
If I tell you my advantages, you can also tell me yours. Can't we discuss it together?
Can't you f * cking see who's fighting for the next spot? Can't you just pick the weakest persimmon?
Preposterous! Intolerable bullying!
But under such circumstances, he couldn't show weakness right away. Otherwise, "contributing to Da Qi" would become a joke.
Therefore, he sneered, "So what if it's a literary competition? So what if it's a martial competition? "
When Wen Lianmu heard Lei Zhanqian's speech, he wanted to say, "When it comes to the art of war, I'm not sleepy at all." However, when he saw how explosive Lei Zhanqian was, he restrained himself.
Hearing Gao Zhe's stubbornness at this time, he became even more spirited and pricked up his ears in high spirits.
Gao Zhe's biggest problem was that he couldn't grasp the situation clearly. In this aspect, he was exactly the same as Gao Qing, who had been crippled. In the entire Calm Sea Gao Clan, Gao Jing was probably the most outstanding person in the younger generation, but unfortunately, he was lost in the Heaven Secret Realm.
Gao Jing also had the same problem. This was probably the entire Calm Sea Gao Clan's problem. They took Emperor Qi's love for Noble Consort Jing as the unwavering authority of the Calm Sea Gao Clan. Therefore, they considered themselves as the top clan in Da Qi.
Last time, they were able to get two spots in the Heaven Secret Realm. Gao Shaoling was able to easily secure the position of the Red-Tail Town Ambassador … These things gave them an illusion.
However, this foundation was extremely shaky.
Jiang Wuqi's own flesh and blood, who was like a father to the emperor, also fell out of favor one day. How could Noble Consort Jing's favor be unwavering?
Not to mention, there was another fatal weakness. Noble Consort Jing was childless.
Gao Zhe's value wasn't as great as he thought.
Yan Fu and Li Longchuan had been bringing him along to play because he had a clear head in the past. It wasn't because of how great the Gao Clan was.
Even a foreigner like Lin Xian could see the rift between him and people like Chung Geng Sheng. However, he thought it was a small matter.
There were many people in the world who were willing to give face to the Calm Sea Gao Clan. Unfortunately, there weren't many in this tent.
Lei Zhanqian didn't slap the face, so Wen Lianmu went up.
Even Tian Chang was eager to give it a try.
For someone like Lei Zhanqian, since he raised his hand, he naturally wouldn't hold back. He said without hesitation, "The competition is a fight between the two of us. The competition is a fight between the two of us. Life and death are fated, and we don't blame each other. You can choose any one of them. I'm willing to do it! "
Speaking of which, Lei Zhanqian originally had the qualifications to be the main general. Although the Lei Clan wasn't a top clan, he was the cousin of the Longevity Palace Lord, Jiang Wuqi.
However, his success was because of Jiang Wuqi, and his failure was because of Jiang Wuqi. He was destined to share Jiang Wuqi's glory and his downfall.
The waves of Cui Ju's assassination seemed to have stopped in the morning in front of the Purple Extreme Palace.
However, the ripples from this never stopped in the Qi.
At least for the Longevity Palace, this was the case …
Compared to the Changle Palace, Huaying Palace, and Yangxin Palace, the Longevity Palace's influence had obviously plummeted.
Although the Emperor forgave Jiang Wuqi, he didn't treat the Eleventh Prince as close as before.
In the past, he would be summoned into the palace to accompany them for meals. However, after Cui Ju's assassination, this had never happened again.
Due to all these reasons, Lei Zhanqian still needed to fight for a spot on Xingyue Plain.
However …
To fight for a spot with a nouveau riche like Gao Zhe, it was a great humiliation for Lei Zhanqian!
Therefore, he said that life and death were fated, and didn't give Gao Zhe any face.
Gao Zhe: …
F * ck your mother. This was a choice between a literary competition and a martial competition. Where was the word "literary" in it? Other than fighting for his life, it was still fighting for his life!
However, how could he dare to fight for his life with Lei Zhanqian?
Although Jiang Wang beat Lei Zhanqian like he was beating a child, he also had the right to fight for a spot on the Riverview Platform!
Gao Zhe was so embarrassed that his face began to ache. Fortunately, he had already been embarrassed once yesterday, and this feeling wasn't unfamiliar to him.
The corners of his mouth twitched as he forced himself to say, "What literary competition, martial competition, life and death without resentment, what a joke. There are still two positions for generals. We can take one each. There's no need to make both sides suffer. It won't look good. "
At this point, he was already admitting defeat. He was just barely holding on to his face.
Although it was laughable, it was actually a little pitiful.
But how could Wen Lianmu and Tian Chang agree to it when he directly and neatly divided the positions?
"I don't know if Brother Lei can get a spot," Tian Chang said calmly. Tian Chang said in a calm tone, "But Brother Gao, you've completely excluded me, and this point still needs to be discussed. Why don't … you choose a literary competition or a martial competition with me? "
This low-key and even somewhat dull person revealed his sharp teeth occasionally, and it was actually cold and fierce!
Wen Lianmu smiled and said, "If it's a clash of armies, I don't mind fighting against anyone."
No one was willing to give in!
Gao Zhe quickly weighed the pros and cons in his heart and said decisively, "Since Brother Tian said so, I'll fight for a spot with you. Brother Lei and Brother Wen are fighting for a spot. Everyone is working hard for Da Qi. There's no need to complain! "
He wasn't a complete idiot. He was a little smart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of using Jiang Wang's name to suppress Lin Xian.
These words seemed fair, but in fact, it changed the situation of four people fighting for two spots into two people fighting for one spot.
He knew that his cultivation wasn't as good as Lei Zhanqian's, and his leadership wasn't as good as Wen Lianmu's. If it was four people fighting for two spots, he probably wouldn't get anything.
However, it was different if it was two people fighting for one spot, because the "persimmon" that seemed to be the easiest to bully had already been put into one group by him.
This was the most beneficial choice he could think of in a short time.
Lei Zhanqian didn't say anything because he didn't care who he was fighting against. Wen Lianmu also didn't say anything. When it came to leading armies, he had his own pride. He knew that he wouldn't lose to Lei Zhanqian.
Tian Chang was even more silent. He couldn't be more satisfied that Gao Zhe treated him as a soft persimmon.
However, Chung Geng Sheng's voice sounded at this moment, "No, you only have one spot left."
Gao Zhe looked over in shock and anger.
Chung Geng Sheng didn't look at him. He leaned on a specially made large chair and looked around. He said slowly, "I believe that everyone already knows about Jiang Wang's matter. I originally advised him to focus on his cultivation, but now that everyone knows about it, he should come to Xingyue Plain and return a gift to the people of Jing … "
"I've already sent someone to invite him. He should be here within two days."
Speaking of this, he smiled. "I don't think anyone will object to the number one inner palace in the history of the Qing Dynasty occupying a camp, right?"
"Of course not!" Someone immediately responded, "With Jiang Wang here, what's Xu San? So what if he's Wang Kun? What's there to be afraid of? "
The person who spoke was Lin Jie from Tianjiao of Yi Country.
Chung Geng Sheng glanced at him. He was surprised that this person was so accurate.
Yi Country was a small country south of Chang Country. It wasn't far from Tianxing Cliff and was deeply influenced by legalism. The people of this country were more upright and outspoken, and there was a widespread spirit of honesty.
The names mentioned by Lin Jie were all famous inner palace cultivators of Tianjiao of Jing Country.
After all, Jiang Wang had achieved the title of the number one inner palace cultivator in both ancient and modern times. There was indeed no need to be modest in the first realm of the Inner Palace.
If Lin Jie mentioned Tianjiao's outer palace cultivators like Chen Suan of Jing Country, it would be somewhat suspicious of him. Now, this scale was very subtle … He was a talent.
Chung Geng Sheng was in the mood to comment on people here, but Gao Zhe's mood was ruined by a sentence.
Looking at Chung Geng Sheng, he forced a smile and said, "Ah Sheng, don't joke around. Jiang Wang hasn't even come yet. "
Chung Geng Sheng looked at him with a smile. "I never joke with people I'm not familiar with."
As soon as this sentence came out, his position was clear and the boundary was clear. From now on, he would no longer play with Gao Zhe.
Gao Zhe was stunned and couldn't react for a moment.
"Although Jiang Wang is famous, he's not even here. It's not appropriate for him to occupy a camp's main force, right? This is a battlefield, not a place to play. We're here to fight for life and death and determine victory and defeat, not to draw a sand table and place chess pieces. If he wants to occupy a seat … Why didn't he come earlier? "A voice suddenly said from a few rows of seats behind.
"Who is this person?" Chung Geng Sheng asked the people around him.
"Gu Yan of the Zhao Country!" The young man with a stubborn expression said loudly.
He stared at Chung Geng Sheng unyieldingly, unwilling to show any weakness.
Among the countries of the Eastern Region, if there was a ranking of the small countries that admired Qi the most, the Zhao Country would definitely be in the top few. Compared to the Yang Country back then, it was closer to Qi. Regardless of those in power, the vast majority of the people of the Zhao Country were eager to merge into Qi.
Unexpectedly, in such a country, there was still someone with a temper who dared to question the famous Tianjiao from Qi.
Li Longchuan directly stood up and walked to this person. He raised his chin and said, "Go out, let's have a chat."
He was too straightforward and his aura was too domineering.
Gu Yan was obviously stunned for a moment. He couldn't help but turn his head and look at Madam Xidu.
Madam Xidu, who had the highest cultivation and status in the tent, sat quietly next to the commander's seat. She was indifferent to this.
Obviously, she was very clear-headed and knew who was in charge of this war.
And those who weren't clear-headed should also be clear-headed after seeing her attitude.
Gu Yan's face turned green and white. In the end, he gritted his teeth and walked out of the tent.
"Then I'll talk with you!" He said fiercely.
The two of them walked out of the tent one after the other.
No one in the tent expressed an opinion about this.
It had to be said that there was nothing wrong with Gu Yan's questioning in theory.
But the essence of this matter was to question the dominance of Tianjiao from Qi on this side of the battlefield.
So Li Longchuan didn't reason with him at all. He directly suppressed him and took him out of the tent. It was to point directly at the bull's eye and see through the enemy's momentum.
Gu Yan either wanted to fight for the rights of the small country or wanted to take credit for himself …
Li Longchuan was too lazy to care. As the son of the Li family of Stone Gate, he also had the right to not care.
The positions of the ten camps that Fang You released were definitely more important than their current value. Otherwise, Chung Geng Sheng wouldn't have to fight for Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang, who had become the first inner house in history, had a bright future. When he returned to Qi, he would be able to take whatever he wanted. He would also be rewarded by the emperor.
Generally speaking, ordinary benefits didn't need to be taken seriously.
But now, Gao Zhe, Tian Chang, and Wen Lianmu were arguing with each other. Lei Zhanqian, who didn't seem to want to participate in the Xingyue Plain battlefield, rushed here before tonight …
Presumably, they had all received some news about it.
Li Longchuan combined some of the information he heard and was 70 to 80 percent sure. He decisively came forward and cooperated. He didn't even look at Chung Geng Sheng.
In Chung Geng Sheng's mind … there was only one word, "peace of mind".
As expected of a military family, he learned the art of war since young. Compared to Jiang Wang, this was much more peace of mind!
Chung Geng Sheng and Li Longchuan easily controlled the situation here. Yan Fu was also indifferently watching from the side.
Gao Zhe was trapped in a violent rage and couldn't break free for a long time.
There was no way he could compete with Lei Zhanqian. He was very clear about this. If Jiang Wang also wanted a position, then he wouldn't have the chance to lead the camps this time.
He came to the Xingyue Plain battlefield this time to make a name for himself.
How could he stop here?
If he were to just give up like this, then why did he have to suffer like this? Wasn't it cool to be a local tyrant in Jinghai Prefecture?
He knew that he had already offended Chung Geng Sheng by using Jiang Wang's absence to oppress others. But he didn't expect the other party to be so heartless!
Was there really a need?
Did he have to push him to the opposite side?
Didn't he consider the benefits between the Gao Clan and the Junggenjia?
But Chung Geng Sheng couldn't be reasoned with. He could only turn to Yan Fu. "Brother Yan, Jiang Wang is already the first in history. He's a legendary figure. He doesn't lack fame. Even if he comes later, it's easy to arrange a camp. We're all friends. Is there a need to do this? "
Yan Fu looked at him deeply. In the end, he said warmly, "You know Jiang Wang's personality. If you open your mouth and enter his camp, you can get a position as a deputy general. "
There were many hurtful words that could be said, but in the end, Yan Fu still gave him face.
But Gao Zhe didn't feel comforted at all. He only felt that it was ridiculous.
I'm the heir to the Gao Clan of Jinghai. Which camp can't I get a position as a deputy general? Do I need to beg Jiang Wang?
"Do you really want to force me?" he said through gritted teeth.
Yan Fu shook his head and laughed, but didn't say anything else.
He treated people gently, but that didn't mean he was afraid of trouble. How could he be afraid of trouble when he once said he would cut down all gossip and not care about the other's background?
He just left the last bit of face and didn't make a fuss.
This was similar to the tolerance an adult had for a child.
Gao Zhe, who realized this, ground his teeth so hard they almost broke.
What he hated the most was feeling that he didn't receive enough respect from this group of people. Now, even Yan Fu treated him like this!
But when Chung Geng Sheng opened his mouth, he finally understood what it meant to be "disrespected."
"You seem to think that if Jiang Wang doesn't occupy this camp, you'll have a position." Chung Geng Sheng, who had suppressed his anger for a long time, looked coldly at Gao Zhe, who was gnashing his teeth. "Are you stronger than Wen Lianmu or Tian Chang? It's important to know one's own worth. But I think you don't know your own worth at all! Tian Chang can kill you as easily as killing a chicken. Do you think you picked a soft persimmon? "
Tian Chang smiled but didn't say anything. Although he was surprised by Chung Geng Sheng's sensitivity, he didn't show it on his face.
Chung Geng Sheng's words suddenly ignited Gao Zhe. The resentment he had accumulated for a long time suddenly exploded. "So what if he's Jiang Wang!? Does he have three heads and six arms? I've eaten and drunk with him, but I don't see anything different about him! I still don't know if his legendary battle record is true or not! "
"Challenging the legend of the Elder of Tian Fu? Don't you think it's ridiculous? Ten thousand evil, cutting flesh, unmasking, beheading. Which one of them isn't an expert in the Outer Building realm, an existence full of evil? But Jiang Wang can fight one against four? When those three Human Demons were killed by Jiang Wang, were they really in their peak condition? Or were they in their peak condition after being suppressed by Yu Beidou? From Linzi to overseas, Jiang Wang is used to creating momentum. Are you following in his footsteps and lying to yourselves? "
"Your hostility toward Jiang Wang is truly inexplicable. It's hard to understand." Yan Fu frowned. "When has he ever offended you?"
Gao Zhe had had enough of these people's contempt. He was prepared to smash the broken jar and completely shed all pretense of cordiality. Chung Geng Sheng and the others didn't leave him any face. As the dignified heir of a large aristocratic family, how could he continue to flatter them?
"You can't justify yourself, so you're talking about this?" He sneered. "What we're talking about isn't whether he offended me or not, but how he can obtain the position of Commander with just his name alone! Who is he? Is he qualified?! "
"It seems like you've been holding a grudge against Jiang Qingyang for a long time." Chung Geng Sheng said indifferently. "When he comes, should I ask him to apologize to you and ask him how he made you unhappy?"
"Then let's wait for him to come!" Gao Zhe said coldly.
At this moment, a voice came from behind Wang Yiwu. "Ten Thousand Evils, Cut Flesh, Unmask, and Behead. When the four Human Demons besieged Jiang Wang, they were all in peak condition. This is absolutely true."
Everyone looked toward the source of the voice. It was Lin Xian from Tianjiao of Rong.
Gao Zhe exploded. He had the aura of a scholar. He laughed. "How do you know?"
He didn't hold back when facing Lin Xian. "You're licking Jiang Qingyang's boots here. Does he know? Will he pat your head and give you a bone to eat? "
"Of course I know."
Lin Xian was neither servile nor overbearing in the face of Gao Zhe's insults. He looked him in the eye and said clearly, "Because when the four Human Demons besieged Jiang Wang, I was there and saw it clearly! I, Lin Xian, started practicing the saber at the age of three. At fifteen, I was the champion of my generation in Rong. At seventeen, I carried my saber to the Riverview Platform and fought with the heroes of the world. Although I didn't get the title, I don't think anyone can look down on me. Gao Zhe, ask yourself, can you take one strike from me? What are you relying on to humiliate me like this today? Qi's power? Jing Hai's Gao family's power? Wait until you can be like Jiang Wang and rely on yourself. Then you can question Jiang Wang's achievements! "
"You mean …" Madam Xidu, who had been silent all this time, was moved. "When Jiang Wang fought the four Human Demons alone, you were there?"
"The battlefield was in the Rock Valley of the Broken Soul Gorge. At that time, I was hiding in the Connate Chaos Array and saw the battle with my own eyes!"
Lin Xian said without hesitation, "The Evil Retribution Theurgy, the Flesh Cutting Union Theurgy, the Human Face Theurgy, and the Extreme Evil Hungry Ghost Body of the Beheader Demonic Man are all extremely powerful. The strength that Jiang Wang showed in that battle completely broke the limit of my imagination of the Inner Mansion Stage. I have never seen such a person in the history books! I, Lin Xian, have never been convinced by anyone in my life, but I am convinced by Jiang Qingyang. I can only look up to him! "
The whole place was silent.
Even Gao Zhe had to calm down. To be able to carefully measure himself as Chung Geng Sheng said.
Until now, people finally understood why such a persevering and tenacious person like Lin Xian could say that he was willing to be Jiang Qingyang's lackey.
If they could see the legend with their own eyes, they would be much more fanatical than Lin Xian.
"I think I know who Jiang Wang is." Madam Xidu said lightly.
This sentence was in response to Gao Zhe's previous question. Of course, she always knew who Jiang Wang was, but she still had some doubts about his terrifying achievements. After all, there were a lot of rumors in the world. Until now, when Lin Xian confirmed it, she really "knew who Jiang Wang was."
"If Jiang Wang is coming …" Tian Chang smiled and said, "He should have the position of chief general. I have no objection."
Wen Lianmu shrugged, "Who can compare with Jiang Qingyang in the same realm?"
After saying this, he glanced at Wang Yiwu with a guilty conscience, but Wang Yiwu was expressionless.
Lei Zhanqian said, "Then let's not waste time. I will lead the remaining battalion. Tian Chang, Wen Lianmu, Gao Zhe … "
His gaze swept over them one by one. "If you don't agree, then come together!"
The atmosphere in the tent was boiling.
Zhong Xuan Sheng, on the other hand, was leaning back lazily as he grinned proudly.
Speaking of which, the two most arrogant people in the tent today were both defeated by Jiang Wang. For them, it was probably one of the most profound memories in their lives.
Wang Yiwu, who was arrogant, tacitly agreed that Jiang Wang was unmatched in the same realm.
Lei Zhanqian, who wanted to fight one against three, tacitly agreed that Jiang Wang had to occupy a battalion before he arrived.
