Original God, but the real world

Chapter 135 134-Contradiction
Sometimes it is better to expose a conflict than to hide it.

It was as if this was already the case. Everyone who saw the old and decrepit appearance of these people would know that the Coral Palace had given up on them.

No, they betrayed them.

Although under the heavy pressure of the shogunate, they would not choose to break with Coral Palace Xinhai, but the contradiction still exists.

It is like a thorn, piercing everyone's heart, waiting to explode at any time.

Instead of giving people time to think and doubt themselves, it would be better for her to detonate it herself.

If we allow doubt to take root over time, no one can control the final outcome.

In a place and situation that you can control, let the conflict break out and then resolve it.

This is certainly the better option.

So Goro stepped forward.

He is Coral Palace Xinhai's confidant, and everyone knows that if he questions Coral Palace Xinhai, the result will either be the end of the resistance army or Coral Palace Xinhai will give an answer.

But it’s different for other people. If you question them, you may not have to come back.

Our goal is not the truth - the truth is often as sharp as a knife, and we just need a reason to keep fighting.

This is what tacit understanding is.

If they seek the truth, then things are in trouble.

Because the truth was probably too cruel for them to accept, the resistance broke up early, and the shogunate opened champagne at halftime and had the last laugh.

But the answer is different.

Can't you make up an answer we can accept?

For example, if you are threatened by the Fatui - sorry, it seems that you are a little cowardly. For example, the Fatui threatens you with the island of Haizhi and forces you to promote the evil eye.

In this case, you have to betray a minority for the sake of everyone, and this reason is still valid. We share the same hatred and continue to fight against the shogunate.

Anyway, we don’t know what happened, so you have the final say, right?

"I'm sorry, everyone. I have reached a cooperation with the Fatui to promote the evil eye among the resistance army. That's what you see, the weapon driven by vitality."

Coral Palace Xinhai looked apologetic, "Yes, all of this is out of my own will."

"I want to win, so I actively seek cooperation."

"I betrayed you all."

what?
Goro, who was half-kneeling on the ground, raised his head.

This doesn't seem to be what was planned, does it?

In an outstanding performance, some people take the blame, and naturally others step forward to solve the problem and gain prestige.

There can be many people who take the blame, not even just one person, but the one who can gain the reputation is only Coral Palace Xinhai.

But now she has been blamed, and this matter has become troublesome.

In order to do the right thing, a person has to do the wrong thing first, which makes it very complicated to judge him.

The key point is that there is no benefit in this. Wu Lang doesn't understand why Coral Palace Xinhai does this.

"Please listen to what I have to say."

Jiang Qing's voice was sincere.

As he spoke, he swung his sword casually, thunder wrapped around the blade, and then exploded with a loud bang.

You can listen to it.

Everyone's expressions became much more serious.

"Behind the shogunate and the Kaijima war was actually the cooperation between the Faints and the Tenryo Bugyo."

There were only two kinds of people present: trustworthy generals within the resistance army, and corrupt ones who were on their deathbed.

Both types of people can know the truth.

After dealing with the shogunate, Jiang Qing also planned to make the truth public.

But before the war, it is better to keep this kind of thing secret.

"Since the failure of the Eastern Expedition, Kaijima has been incorporated into Inazuma. The general is indifferent to the existence of Kaijima, but we must consider ourselves as Inazuma people."

"Why?" someone was quite indignant, "The shogunate obviously doesn't consider us Inazuma people!"

"To survive." Jiang Qing said sincerely, "The shogunate is the shogunate, and the general is the general."

"Before the war begins, I want you to understand that we are fighting against the shogun, not the shogun."

Goro lowered his head.

Jiang Qing always emphasizes the issue of stance.

"That's not right." Goro continued his performance, "The shogun is acting on the shogun's will. To go against the shogun is to go against the shogun!"

"No, no, no, we can't understand it that way." Jiang Qing waved his hands repeatedly, "The shogunate is just a tool of the general. It can occasionally represent the general's will, but this is because the general needs it to do something."

"In fact, it is Kujo Takayuki, not the shogun, who now exercises power on behalf of the shogunate."

The rule of power is pyramid-shaped, with the upper level ruling the lower level with rules and laws. This is the norm.

But General Raiden is not a normal situation.

He rules the world with the blade, not with rules.

Therefore, Jiang Qing had to make it clear to these people that they were against the shogunate, and this time the shogunate was not executing the shogun.

This is not to exonerate the general. What mistakes could the general have made?
He is always right.

For all living beings, acknowledging that God is right is not because God is right, but because they must know that God is right.

"Listen carefully, this matter is not complicated."

"Kujo Takayuki used the war to gain more benefits for the Kujo family."

"Yes, all the battles we are currently experiencing, which you think are the battles to protect the Haizhi Island and the Haizhi Island, are essentially just a game of thrones."

Jiang Qing didn't notice that Coral Palace Xinhai took a step back and gave him the front position.

“It’s just a game.”

"Tenryo believes in using war to gain profit and power, and we, the people of Kaiji Island, are the victims of this war."

So the truth is often as sharp as a knife.

The unexpected disaster that everyone was fighting so hard against was actually just a small conspiracy from the upper echelons of the shogunate.

He came up with this idea and then pushed forward with it, which eventually led to the spread of war.

Haizhidao had no power to refuse, and even before Jiang Qing and Ying, he had no strength to resist.

This was not the first time Wu Lang knew about this matter, but when Jiang Qing said it openly, he still found it difficult to control himself.

"I don't understand, Mr. Jiang Qing."

he asked.

Most people were surprised to realize at this time that they didn't even know who this person was, but they had already begun to obey his words.

[Your talent: Unvictorious is taking effect. ]

[When change is coming, you will be more easily recognized than most people, and they will obey your will. ]

[Your personal expertise: Lv4 conversation is taking effect. ]

[Judgment of strength, you have surpassed the majority of people who listen to your words, and your words will be recognized by them. ]

【Based on the logic, no one present will be able to reject your argument. 】

Jiang Qing pursed her lips.

Okay, I'll kill them all this time.

Goro looked serious, "If the war with Kaijima is the will of the shogunate, how can we stop it?"

"The war has killed our compatriots, and this matter should not be let go like this."

Coral Palace Xinhai narrowed his eyes slightly.

Chaos again.

She didn't follow the script, and neither did Goro.

But this should also be Wulang’s most fundamental doubt.

He actually didn't want to reconcile at all.

The people of Zhidong have a truth that everyone agrees with: blood debts must be paid with blood.

The other side started the war, and we can only ask for peace.

Wu Lang didn't dare to say that he felt it was unfair. There was absolutely no fairness in matters like victory, defeat, life and death.

What's more, when people are weak, they really have no choice.

But he didn't want to make peace.

What he wants is revenge.

But more than revenge, he wanted to keep the people of Kaiji Island alive.

What suppresses one desire creates a greater desire.

But this definitely does not mean that he has given up his first desire.

Jiang Qing was silent for a moment.

After all, contradictions exist, and as long as they exist, they will explode one day. This is normal.

However, to be honest, it was Kaijima that initiated the Eastern Expedition. From this perspective, it was natural for the shogunate to deal with Kaijima.

You launched the Eastern Expedition without authorization, and then suffered a crushing defeat. Now that you are still alive, you should be grateful for the mercy shown by others.

After that, the shogunate has controlled Kaijima until now, and Kujo Takayuki has promoted the war again.

Jiang Qing really doesn't want to deal with this mess.

There is absolutely no logic in this, it is purely a blood debt.

The debt is pure and direct, it is unreasonable and can only be resolved by killing.

However, he now needs the power of Haizhi Island. It is impossible for him to rely on the other party's power while also upholding justice from the Eastern Expedition.

People can't be so unreasonable and have no bottom line.

"That's an easy problem to solve."

"There is only one thing we need to do, and that is to defeat the shogunate's army."

In fact, there was still enough time, and if they were willing, Jiang Qing could tell them the whole story.

But that's not necessary.

Most people don't care about the truth.

Jiang Qing spoke lightly, "Then we set foot on Ming Shen Island, go to the castle tower, and kill Kujo Takayuki."

There was a faint uproar from below the stage.

Whether they were generals or dying soldiers, they were all looking at Jiang Qing.

He really spoke this in a very relaxed manner, as if he was talking about today's breakfast.

But that was Kujo Takayuki.

If he was really that easy to kill, he would have died long ago.

"Listen to me, everyone."

Jiang Qing had to explain sincerely: "This is not difficult at all."

"Inside the shogunate army, the Fatui have already grasped some of the power of the shogunate, and Kujo Sara happens to be a die-hard fan of the shogunate."

"Sir Coral Palace is promoting the evil eye within the resistance army. This uncontrolled, sudden special power will attract the attention of Kujo Sara."

"And this is exactly what the fools don't want to see."

Everyone looked at the decayed soldiers.

This is true.

The Fatui's tactics are simply too conspicuous.

Anyone with eyes can see the problem.

"The military exploits of these people are indeed somewhat bizarre."

Someone responded.

The rebels made great contributions, which corresponded to the losses suffered by the shogunate.

On the battlefield, such things cannot be hidden.

Kujo Sara would definitely find a way to investigate and would definitely find the answer - frankly speaking, it was strange that so many people who had just made great military achievements suddenly aged like this.

She couldn't even get this kind of information, so she had already been sidelined.

"But Kujo Sara might not be curious about the reason behind this, right?" another person asked, "After all, it was us who were plotted by the Fatui, and it had nothing to do with the shogunate army."

These people are not stupid.

Those who were able to survive the war with the shogunate, even if the shogunate let them go, must have been capable.

What they lack is opportunity and the favor of fate.

People who are born weak need occasional help from fate to have a chance to turn things around.

According to Jiang Qing, conflicts had obviously arisen between Kujo Sara and the Fatui within the shogunate.

But this is definitely not the only possible fate. After all, the user of the evil eye is just a member of the resistance.

The death of the rebels was not something that Kujo Sara had to pursue.

"No, Kujo Sara will definitely pursue the matter."

Jiang Qing was very sure, "Because the Fatui didn't want her to know, so she must know."

The military system has been invaded by the Fatui, and if Kujo Sara doesn't think about doing something, she will not be worthy of this identity.

And when she investigated further, she found out that it was the collaboration between Kujo Takayuki and the Fatui.

But that’s a secret again.

If she wanted to spy, someone of a higher level would stop her.

The matter is not complicated, but her level is not high enough.

The one who deceived her was the most powerful person, Tian Ling.

"In other words, what we are facing is actually a shogunate with many internal contradictions."

"If we can't even deal with such a shogunate army, then we deserve to be destroyed."

There was only silence, and Wu Lang asked, "What happens after you win?"

"After we win, we surrender."

Jiang Qing answered seriously.

"Surrender?" Someone raised his voice, "We won the victory just to surrender?"

Not only the generals, but also the soldiers who used the evil eye raised their heads with confused expressions.

Their lives have come to an end, and just the act of raising their heads is enough to make most people look painful.

Jiang Qing paused.

In theory, this shouldn't be his performance.

The person who should be standing here now should be Coral Palace Heart Sea.

Although the suggestion was made by Jiang Qing, the one responsible for the action was Coral Palace Xinhai. In addition, she had the dual identities of a witch and a ruler - and now she stood behind Jiang Qing, her face calm, without any movement.

That doesn't make sense.

Why is it my turn to deal with this?
I'm just a staff member at best. How come I became the main force in the battle?

Jiang Qing was confused, but the moment did not allow him to waste time.

Surrender is hardly a glorious or great goal.

These people used the evil eye, and even though the aftereffects were so cruel, they were able to remain silent for a while, because they all believed that they were fighting for the survival of Kaijima.

Even if he sacrifices himself for this, he will still be a hero of Kaijima.

Objectively speaking, surrender was also for the survival of Kaijima.

But this is too embarrassing.

But how do you explain this?

Food is food.

Because you did not recognize Inazuma's identity, General Raiden cleared out Kaijima with one strike of the sword.

Not surrendering?
Then he can only die.

No, I have to change my words.

Jiang Qing said sternly: "Surrender is only a superficial state. Our real purpose is to enter the shogunate and seize power."

"Kujo Takayuki used his position as Tenryo Bugyo to launch a war against Kaijima for his own selfish desires."

"We will enter the shogunate's system, kick him out, and then stand at the same level as the Tenryo Bugyo to give Kaijima new hope."

Of course, the prerequisite for entering the shogunate is to be loyal to the general, which is the minimum condition.

No matter how indifferent the general is to Kaijima, it is impossible for him to accept a group of people who are unwilling to believe in Ming Shen.

"If it's just about assassinating Kujo Takayuki, it's actually not that difficult."

Jiang Qing opened his mouth and spoke.

"But are you satisfied with just killing Kujo Takayuki?"

He threw the question to the other party.

The first principle of revenge is naturally the death of the other party, and the second principle is the pain of the other party's death, which is very painful.

Everyone looked at each other.

This guy... Kujo Takayuki is the obvious culprit. According to this logic, killing him would actually be a pleasure.

But having said that, if what Jiang Qing said is true, can just killing Kujo Takayuki really make up for the losses on Kaijima?
At least we should use more cruel means to make him lose more things, right?
When everyone didn't dare to think too much, the death of Kujo Takayuki alone was very satisfying.

But once they want more, simple life and death alone is no longer enough to quell their inner indignation.

Yes, Kujo Takayuki should pay more price for his reckless behavior.

No, no, no, shouldn’t we be discussing your surrender strategy after victory?

Why did everyone suddenly start imagining how to deal with Kujo Takayuki?

Jiang Qing cleared his throat, "It's like this, my friends."

"We all know that Kujo Takayuki has an unparalleled desire for power."

"He wanted to lead the Kujo family to stand at the top of Inazuma and become the leader of the three magistrates of the shogunate."

"And the revenge we want should be to make him lose the scepter."

He took a step forward and said, "Death is just an ending, but revenge should not begin with death. On the contrary, death should be the end of everything."

The end of revenge, of course, is the death of Kujo Takayuki.

But the work that should have been finished was completed at the beginning, and the revenge ended here. Can such revenge really be considered revenge?

Jiang Qing let out a sigh of relief.

He is not very good at persuading others, but he is better at reaching common interests with others.

In this way, it can be considered convincing.

The messenger watching was thoughtful.

"This power...is almost comparable to that of Lord Kujo Sara."

That is to say, Kaijima is not completely powerless to resist.

Kujo Sara is the descendant of the great demon Tengu, possesses the divine eye of thunder, and has been fully trained by the Kujo family.

This card is already the most useful card the shogunate can play.

Kujo Takayuki may have trained other holders of the Divine Eye, but there are probably not many who can be compared with Kujo Sara.

At most, just one or two.

As for Jiang Qing, the rebels never played this card.

While Kujo Takayuki is still hiding his intentions, the other party is already about to make a big splash.

So, even if they planned intentionally or not, the shogunate army might not necessarily win.

What's more, what the other party just said made sense. If the army on the front line was really invaded by the Fatui, then it would be basically certain what Kujo Takayuki had done.

Before the official showdown, the boss has already been bribed...the chances of winning are even greater.

So, the Takashi family really needs to take action immediately?
The messenger is ready to take action.

He came to Haizhi Island to see what Coral Palace Xinhai could do, and even agreed to cooperate with Jiang Qing and others, but these could not represent the thoughts of the Yingsi family.

As a powerful family, the Yingsi family can only do one thing - stand on the side of the winner.

Judging from the current situation, the Shogunate army is very likely to lose.

But the failure on the front line does not mean that the people of Kaiji Island can win.

It’s not that Kujo Takayuki cannot accept failure, nor does he think that a single failure can destroy the opponent’s power.

The messenger hesitated for a moment, but soon relaxed.

Since he wasn't the one making the decision, he didn't need to be so concerned.

As long as you present everything you see, there will naturally be enough staff to come forward and analyze the family's position.

Their wisdom is trustworthy.

Strictly speaking, this impromptu pre-war speech was not very satisfactory, but fortunately, people's hatred was real.

When the hatred value reached a high level, Jiang Qing used his special ability again, and that was enough.

All that remains is a war.

Kujo Takayuki might have been prepared for the defeat on the front line.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

His backup plan was something that could only be used after he lost the war.

What Jiang Qing really needs is victory in the war itself.

No matter what backup plan he has, as long as he can't use it, it's the same as having nothing.

Then······
"Why are you standing back there?"

Jiang Qing rubbed his brows and said, "According to the plan, you shouldn't have stepped forward to take the blame, right?"

A large part of the plan requires the prestige of the Coral Palace Heart Sea, and the other part is to enhance the power of the Coral Palace Heart Sea.

But this person stepped back at the most critical moment and gave his position to Jiang Qing.

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

The girl asked in a rather relaxed manner.

"lie."

Jiang Qing did not hesitate.

"I was worried that you might run away, so I asked you to stand on the stage." She smiled with a sly look in her eyes, "Now the shogunate will definitely regard you as a high-ranking member of the resistance army. If you try to run away again, you will be caught and killed by the shogunate."

Jiang Qing was stunned.

This is a bit too true and doesn't sound like a lie at all.

"Are you sure this is not true?" Jiang Qing asked.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s true or not. Jiang Qing can’t withdraw at this time anyway.

He has his own goals he wants to achieve, and General Raiden is pretty much his only chance.

Or the imprisoned Nashida could also be an opportunity, but the requirements for solving the trouble with Nashida were too high, so it was the general who had to deal with it.

The general's problem was with Himself.

"That's not true." Coral Palace Xinhai smiled.

She wasn't going to tell the truth because it wasn't necessary.

Jiang Qing scratched his hair... He always felt that this truth was very similar to an experience he had had.

No, it won't.

The three major illusions fell on me?
Jiang Qing shook his head and shook off this ridiculous idea.

"Okay, now we just have to wait." Jiang Qing was full of anticipation, "Waiting for the moment when the conflict in the shogunate breaks out."
