When Jiang Xuantao’s head fell, Jiang Su’s palm paused for a mont.
Before the eyes of this cold and indifferent Divine General, those fleeting years seed to flash by, with the detached decision to leave a pillar for the future Ying Country, and the slight ripple of watching the child after leaving behind a bloodline.
Days spent teaching him martial arts with the status of an elder, watching Jiang Xuantao grow from a young child into a spirited youth and then a radiant young man, stepping onto the battlefield and achieving rits.
The various scenes of the past flowed like water, previously unnoticed, now piercing Jiang Su’s heart like a sharp blade.
The hand of the Martial Arts Legend hesitated for a mont when retracting.
Jiang Xuantao’s head fell to the ground and rolled.
The eyes, full of unwillingness, still stared wide at the sky.
The past dissipated like smoke, Jiang Su remained silent for a long ti, slowly raising his gaze to look at Li Guanyi, the intact eye brimming with tumultuous waves, saying, "...Marquis Qin Wu, what a skillful tactic."
Li Guanyi replied blandly, "On the battlefield, it’s rely life and death between us, I have no interest in torture."
"The body of Jiang Xuantao was seized by his subordinates."
"In the midst of the mighty retreat of Yuwen Lie, He Ruoqinhu’s army, trampled into flesh by tens of thousands of troops, we wished to recover it but couldn’t; only this head remains intact, after all, the dead are great, Jiang Su, take it away."
"If you want his remains."
"I can have soone bring you the bloody mud from that patch of land."
!!!!
Trampled into flesh by a thousand troops and horses!
A faint pain pricked Jiang Su’s heart.
How Chen Wenmian felt that day, he now comprehensively experienced.
Jiang Su’s gaze, icily calm, fixed on Marquis Qin Wu, his grip on the Silent Annihilation Divine Spear slightly strengthening, its blade emitting a resonant cry. Li Guanyi also watched him, his gaze imperious and cold.
Both knew Li Guanyi threw Jiang Xuantao’s head to Jiang Su because of the Wolf King feud.
Knew between the two of them lay an unerasable sea of blood and deep hatred.
Jiang Su took a deep breath, indifferently said, "No need, a warrior wrapped in horsehide, dying on the battlefield, is fate; he died on the battlefield against Jiangnan, died well, died magnificently, without sha."
"In the future, when I break through your Jiangnan, I will go to the place where he died to pay my respects."
"To pay respects to all the n of Daying who died in battle!"
Already, a hidden pain throbbed in Jiang Su’s heart, but as a commander, he could not display any wavering, needing to bury any pain, anger, and unwillingness deep within. He observed the protective formation on this city.
Faintly sensed the Qi chanism of the Whale Hunter and General Xue.
Knowing that this seemingly unremarkable grand city harbors hidden mysteries.
Jiang Su did not rashly attack the city but stationed the armies to the left and right, suprely calm, understanding the need to achieve the strategic goal first, instead of recklessly fighting head-on, even if his offspring died before his eyes, as harrowing as it was, still he didn’t lose temper and madness, affecting his conduct.
The Qilin Army’s deep incursion into Ying Country’s grand stance stopped here.
Daying’s Grandmaster successfully blocked Marquis Qin Wu, news spread throughout the world, and the hearts of the officials in Ying Country’s court swiftly eased, Jiang Su had achieved the original strategic goal, at this mont Ying Country’s public sentint also really could not support a war with Jiangnan.
Continuing to fight on, the public sentint would collapse.
Jiang Su still worried about those influential Ying Country figures who had interacted with the Wolf King.
Worried about the chain reactions set off by changes in public sentint.
Public sentint changing, uprisings appearing all around, such events could make a prosperous empire rapidly collapse, split into pieces, and at this mont, after experiencing long warfare failures, Ying Country’s public sentint and state had reached an extrely dangerous threshold.
Cannot fight again, nor can it be delayed further.
According to Jiang Su’s past strategy, such a war without significance in the grand sche, he wouldn’t continue, it was ti to imdiately return to court, enter the next phase, recuperate.
But at this mont, Ying Country’s army directly stationed outside the city gates, yet not leaving.
Seemingly harboring thoughts of continuing battle.
Even for Jiang Su, a man with a heart as hard as iron, witnessing his only son die before his eyes, he could not help but feel a tinge of desolation in his heart, also couldn’t help the stabbing pain inside, increasing his killing intent towards Li Guanyi.
Jiang Xuantao’s head, placed in a box, Jiang Su couldn’t bear to look, just closed the box, placing it on the table, grasping his weapon, the Silent Annihilation Divine Spear let out a mournful low moan in the night, the killing intent in his heart surging, almost breaking through the chains of reason.
To fight, to slaughter!
To raise a mighty army, to fiercely pierce into Jiangnan, heedless of all, dragging Ying Country and Jiangnan together into the vortex of battle, exhausting both sides’ foundations in war, pulling them down together!
But knowing, the Whale Hunter and Duke Xue were present.
Behind directly was the power range of Jiangnan.
Even if Li Guanyi wasn’t his match, he could abandon the army to survive.
At this mont, Ying Country had entered a ti where wars couldn’t casually start, if fought but failing to defeat the enemy and take heads, then it would be aningless, only further exhausting national power and prestige.
The world, long wearied of slaughter, should return to recuperation and rest.
In a few years, another great battle.
"Cannot... cannot fight any longer."
Jiang Su brought forth the Divine Weapon Silent Annihilation, breathing heavily, face twisted, yet using reason to tightly lock down his emotions: "If recklessly fighting again with Jiangnan, both sides will eventually battle on fundantals and people’s livelihood, Central Plains will be ravaged."
