Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Hearing these words, Ali Bai's pale face twisted instantly.

Fang Zheng Yi helped him up and said, "Disciple, great love is ruthless. It doesn't matter how many people you kill. Throughout history, those who achieve great things must abandon some unnecessary emotions to succeed. If you want to achieve great success, you must have this kind of awareness. These people are all stumbling blocks on your path to success. Your teacher is now helping you remove these stumbling blocks one by one. You should be happy."

"No... no, I'm doomed, I'm doomed!" Ali Bai said, suddenly grabbing Fang Zheng Yi's collar, "Father Khan will be back, and I'm doomed! It's all your fault!"

Seeing Zhang Biao and Zhou Tie step forward, Fang Zheng Yi secretly stopped them with a wave of his hand.

Then, he brushed Ali Bai's hand away and said, "I don't think you've realized what the situation is. Aren't you curious about how that scene just happened? Come on, let's go inside and take a look."

Ali Bai's eyes were wooden and filled with pain. Fang Zheng Yi dragged him into the house without explanation.

The room was already a mess.

Dozens of corpses were lying scattered everywhere.

Looking at this tragic scene, Fang Zheng Yi sighed inwardly.

I didn't want this either... but our positions are different. I'm sorry.

Ishi Bu on the main seat was already bleeding from all seven orifices, his eyes wide open, his death particularly gruesome.

Ali Bai trembled all over, standing rooted to the spot, at a loss, muttering, "How is this possible... how is this possible? Is this divine punishment?"

Fang Zheng Yi said calmly, "Weren't you curious before why your teacher wasn't worried about the war between Jing and Jin? Today, your teacher will give you the answer."

"A thunderclap from a clear sky, this is not a trick, nor is it divine punishment. It is the result of a weapon. The Great Jing can create such divine punishment anytime, anywhere. Therefore, it is foolish for Wu Tu to take the initiative to attack the Great Jing. His proud cavalry is already vulnerable, and it will even become a burden on the battlefield."

"The more soldiers he gathers, the denser they are, the greater the chance of defeat. Do you understand?"

"Impossible... this is impossible..." Ali Bai was still immersed in the shock from before, unable to extricate himself.

"What your teacher said is true. It's questionable whether your Father Khan can return now. But I can tell you, they cannot win, and you have no way out. Your fate is now intertwined with your teacher's."

"When the war is over, the Jin Kingdom will need a new emperor. Your teacher appreciates you and has decided to represent the court in choosing you as the next head of the Jin Kingdom. You are the future emperor!" Fang Zheng Yi said with a smile.

After he finished speaking, Ali Bai actually cried, tears streaming down his face as he gritted his teeth and said, "You're still lying to me... If my Great Jin loses, how can there be a Jin Kingdom in the future? Fang Zheng Yi, do you think I'm an idiot?"

"Wrong, completely wrong! The Jin Kingdom cannot be destroyed, and my Great Jing does not have the ability to occupy and manage such a large piece of land in the Jin Kingdom."

"Incorporating you into the territory of the Great Jing, besides looking good, has no benefits. The national treasury may not be able to bear the expenses. Even if the Great Jing intends to seize the land of the Jin Kingdom, how many years can it maintain it?"

"How uneconomical this deal is, is obvious. So, your teacher dares to say with certainty that the court of my Great Jing only needs a docile vassal state, not to occupy the Jin Kingdom."

Fang Zheng Yi was very confident in this matter.

This era is different from later generations where communication is extremely convenient. Managing a large country is already an extremely difficult task.

This also requires the premise of establishing a unified culture.

The Jin Kingdom has vast lands and is a different race with a different civilization. Forcibly managing and maintaining unity requires the investment of massive amounts of funds.

If it is left unattended or the management is insufficient, the local forces will inevitably rise rapidly, and at most, in a few decades, it will return to a state of division.

The court knows how uneconomical this deal is better than anyone else.

Ali Bai did not speak, only silently shedding tears.

Seeing this, Fang Zheng Yi comforted him, "Disciple, a person's life is full of ups and downs. Climbing upwards is never a straight line. It may be a meteoric rise to success, or a plunge into hell. Now, this opportunity for a meteoric rise is right in front of you!"

"All your obstacles have been cleared away. All you have to do is completely control Pan Tai City. When the royal army enters the city, your teacher will personally send you to the throne. You will surely be remembered in history!"

Ali Bai slowly shook his head, saying woodenly, "Liar... Fang Zheng Yi, you've been lying to me all along, haven't you? I won't believe you anymore."

Fang Zheng Yi smiled and spread out his hands.

"Even if I deceived you, what have you lost?"

"Open your eyes and look, even if you think what I said is false, but this scene before you is what you have seen with your own eyes. This cannot be faked, can it? Do you think that under such divine power, the Jin Kingdom still has a chance of winning?"

Fang Zheng Yi continued to coax him, "Your previous life can be said to be a pile of dog shit. But now it's different, you can start a new life. The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, the next best time is now. You are a person with potential, ambition, and ability. Your teacher absolutely believes this from the bottom of his heart."

"Others say that you are not as good as your eldest brother, not as good as your third brother, even your Father Khan looks down on you. But now it's different! You can prove to everyone that you are the chosen one. When you become the emperor, everyone will look up to you, worship you...."

Ali Bai turned around in circles, his eyes falling on the corpses with their bizarre and tragic deaths. The fragmented tables and chairs constantly impacted his heart.

In his ears were Fang Zheng Yi's devilish whispers full of temptation.

His mind gradually fell into a trance... all kinds of thoughts repeatedly surged...

What kind of magical weapon is this that can cause such destruction? With such a weapon, the Jin Kingdom's cavalry is really vulnerable.

Can I really become the emperor, a meteoric rise to success? Or is he lying to me again?

But it seems like I really have no way out now...

"...What else are you considering? Now we are grasshoppers on the same rope. If I didn't believe that the Great Jing would win, arranging this grand play would be courting death. Your teacher has said everything he needs to say, think about it carefully yourself."

After Fang Zheng Yi finished speaking, he crossed his arms and said nothing more.

After spending so much time together, he knew Ali Bai too well. He was weak and lacked his own opinions.

This kind of personality cannot be changed in a few months. He now has an 80% chance of success, just waiting for him to respond!

The room fell silent, only Ali Bai's heavy breathing continued to sound.

Grasshoppers on the same rope, I am now grasshoppers on the same rope with him!

That's right, if he wasn't sure that the Great Jing would win, he would never have killed everyone, otherwise, that would be an act of self-destruction?!

After a long time, Ali Bai spoke with difficulty, "Fang Zheng Yi..."

"What did you call me? Say it again." Fang Zheng Yi narrowed his eyes, his tone unkind.

"Ol...Teacher..."
