836 Peacetime Capable Official (1/2)

”Jiujing was so violent all around Yuanlian World, pillaging and stealing. My relatives all died because of him, even if I wanted to revolt, that is normal!”

His tone was firm, filled with thick grievances and helplessness.

”Normal? The reason is not bad, let's just hope that it was true!”

Zong Shou nodded his head, a bright glow flashed in his eyes, ”Then, what would you do after you killed him? Hong Jiuchen, Tanjing, etc., would all attack you? Then Yuanlian World would continue to fall. With your intelligence, you definitely would have prepared something right?”

Zhuang Fan's pupils constricted, his face was ashen white.

He suddenly understood that Zong Shou said all these words before just leading into that final sentence that he really wanted to get at.

His mouth felt dry and bitter. He wanted to retort but he didn't know what he should say.

He felt that the person ahead of him had totally seen through him and he was unable to hide anything.

He also knew that even if he retorted, the person in front of him wouldn't care.

The strength that this person had was far greater than his. As for him, he had no way to fight back at all.

His life and death were in his hands, just this point alone made his plans, all the power he had stored up over the years, totally useless.

Actually, one doubt was enough!

Someone who held power didn't need to reason with others.

”Since you aren't speaking, I will take it that you admit it!”

Zong Shou turned his head and continued to look down at the market with intrigue.

This Yuanlian World famous General was already under his control and there was no way that he could escape.

”I have huge fears for a person like you and definitely won't make you the Ruler of a country. However, I can make you the Capital Commander of the front army. You will lead the army of the four countries and manage the war in the east. You probably know about the situation now. Great Gan hasn't gained a stable footing and we are at a loss as to how to manage it. I can only rely on you. A month from now, if you can defeat the countries in the east, naturally everything would be good, I will also reward you. If you don't, then before I leave I will behead you...”

The position of Capital Commander was just below the Five Army Inspector positions. However, this was just in this Great Gan Celestial Dynasty which was an empty shell and not Gan Country in the Cloud World.

It was to handle the current situation. As for what happened next, whether he would live or die would depend on his own performance.

Zhuang Fan was stunned once more and moments later did he bow with a complicated expression on his face, ”Thank you Celestial Ruler for your faith! Celestial Ruler really is magnanimous. A month from now, no matter what, I will force back the enemy!”

From start to finish, he was being forced and threatened. He was unable to retort at all.

Zong Shou also didn't bother to hide his worry and doubts about him.

As for his second sentence, his tone was extremely weird. Who knows was it to praise him or to mock him.

”Magnanimous?”

Zong Shou laughed and rubbed his chin.

His looks were fixed too early which resulted in his chin being smooth and he didn't have a beard. He always regretted that.

However, who knows, he might really be a magnanimous person.

Actually, he only had some rough guesses about Zhuang Fan's hidden plans and arrangements these few years.

In the future, whether or not he could succeed was still unknown.

However, decades later, when the God Emperor led troops to expand and start wars all over, he was blocked out of this Yuanlian World for a full 7 years.

Due to this battle here requiring a large amount of military strength, he was unable to quickly unify the Cloud World.

In front of Kong Yao's troops, he suffered many losses. At the worst period, they were nearly chased out of the Cloud World.

If not for the power struggle in Great Shang and the Liao King, who took over the Emperor position, doubting Kong Yao too much, Great Shang might not have fallen.

However, Zong Shou had always been curious about the person who was able to block the God Emperor at Yuanlian World for 7 years.

Unfortunately, the history books had no records of this person. He was drowned in the rivers of time, there were no traces of him at all.

He also didn't know whether or not he was this person. However, looking at him now, it was very probable that it was indeed him.

Who knows whether or not he would really exist in this world?

Observing the various worlds, each time crisis struck, there would be numerous heroes and talents rising up.

Yuanlian World was like that, so was the Cloud World!

Zong Shou's mind was in a mess, in the end, he cast aside these thoughts.

”You are referring to how I am able to bear with a despicable lord of a chaotic time like you?”

Zhuang Fan's face twitched, he continued to bow, ”A despicable lord in a chaotic time would be a great subject in a peaceful time!”

”Are you trying to remind me not to give you any chance in the future?”

Zong Shou smiled, ”I will remember this! I also hope that in the future, when you do such things, you will be more careful. I am not Jiujing!”

Zhuang Fan laughed bitterly, ”How would I dare to hide anything from Celestial Ruler?”

”You don't dare? Does that include your Peak Spirit Realm Cultivation?”

Zong Shou's lips curled up in glee. Although he didn't use his eyes to see it, he could clearly sense Zhuang Fan's body trembling. He was truly shocked.

”You were going to wait for a few years later when you broke through to Celestial Realm to attack? Jiujing probably didn't expect that a few years later a General he had so much faith in would personally claim his life.”
