Hearing that, Chu Tianxiao almost couldn't help but curse out loud!
"Fuck! System, are you going to cheat me again? After all this trouble, not only did I not get an upgrade, but my rewards were also stolen from me? Is there a system that plays tricks on the host like you?"
"Ding Di... It's not too late to say these words after the host receives the 'luxury gift package'..."
After this voice fell, there was no movement from the Big Prodigal System. Who knows what it was busy with? Chu Tianxiao thought about it carefully. Although this system is a scam, it is still based on equivalence... In this way, the "luxury gift package" that will be distributed at that time will definitely be worth the money!
Although I can’t get the reward right away, fortunately the road has been paved before. From now on, I just need to follow the trend and I will succeed. There won’t be any bumps in the road…
After that, it was only a matter of time before he won the first place in the Great Autumn Examination and discovered the mystery of the Tianji Stele...
Thinking about it this way, it seems that we don’t need to wait long.
With this thought in mind, Chu Tianxiao felt relieved, and then he began to focus on the things in front of him.
At this moment, there were still more than 10,000 Zhao troops in Jindu, but most of them were no longer a threat. Seeing the young emperor Zhao turned into thick water, how could they not understand the situation? They knelt down and begged for mercy and surrender. Occasionally, there were some who resisted stubbornly, but they were quickly suppressed by the defeated army.
In just a cup of tea, the flags on the Jin capital city changed, and this former capital of the Great Zhou finally returned to its homeland.
This raid also came to an end.
In this battle, Chu Tianxiao led 3,000 defeated soldiers from the sky, killed nearly 10,000 defenders in the city, defeated countless enemies, defeated the core strong army of the Great Zhao, the Shaodi Army, captured two great practitioners, and finally... killed the supreme leader of the Great Zhao Empire, the Shaodi Zhao!
It can be said that this battle has been won.
The main goals before the war have also been achieved.
Without the protection of Jindu, the Zhao army, which had been entrenched in Jieting and had pinned hundreds of thousands of Zhou troops, would certainly be at a loss as to what to do and could be defeated in one battle.
The crisis will resolve itself.
But what Chu Tianxiao wanted... was more than that.
"Emperor Zhao is dead. It's time to start the last step of my plan... However," Chu Tianxiao turned his gaze to a certain place...
"Before that, there's another guy that must be dealt with!"
The three thousand defeated soldiers followed Chu Tianxiao's gaze and saw Mo Xiang standing with his hands behind his back. There was no surprise on his face. He just said calmly, "The external account has been settled."
"… good."
Chu Tianxiao nodded: "It's time to settle the internal accounts."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Lao walked straight forward and blocked Chu Tianxiao with his burly body.
Looking at this ferocious demon-like Sky Blood Puppet, Mo Xiang sighed softly: "It seems that I will definitely die today."
"… From the day you plotted against the Imperial Garden and used your chess pieces to take over Bao Niang, you should have known that this day would come…"
"... I really didn't expect that this day would come so soon... But, so what?" Mo Xiang lowered his head slightly and flicked his clothes, "Even if I had to do it all over again, I would still make the same choice! Back then, your father humiliated our Mo family too much! How could my little sister, Mo Ji, die in vain? This hatred... is unbearable!"
Chu Tianxiao heard this and said, "I don't know much about what happened back then... But I know that love in this world can never be obtained by fighting to death..."
"That proud daughter of your Mo family is good, but Dad just likes the lively and beautiful girl and doesn't like her. So what's wrong with that? Does she think she can get what she wants by crying, making a scene, and then threatening to hang herself with power and force?"
Chu Tianxiao shook his head slowly: "It doesn't make sense, Mo Ji... There's no such thing as love."
"Don't even mention Dad. Even I wouldn't buy into this kind of thing. Why marry a woman who threatens to commit suicide so easily? You agree to it this time and marry her, but what's next? Can we still live together? What if she threatens to commit suicide again if we have another disagreement? Has your little sister ever thought about this?"
Chu Tianxiao spread his hands and said, "So, her so-called inability to bear the humiliation and committing suicide is actually due to her own weakness and mental insufficiency. To put it more deeply, it is also a problem of your Mo family's upbringing. Why do you inexplicably put the blame on our Chu family?"
"… No matter how eloquent you are, the person is dead and the hatred has not subsided. The predictions of my Mo family will never be wrong."
After Chu Tianxiao finished speaking, Mo Xiang was silent for a long time before speaking.
"It's the same old trick... Prediction of the Heaven's Secret? To be honest, I've always doubted whether this thing can really predict my fate, but it doesn't matter."
Chu Tianxiao shook his head, unmoved: "I'm not interested in listening to your clichés here, I just have one question... You should know very well that if you attacked the Lingyue Realm expert in Da Zhao at that time, the situation would definitely end up like this, so why did you take action?"
After a pause, he continued, "If I'm not mistaken, even if His Majesty uses some spiritual means, he will definitely give the final choice to you..."
"So, why?"
"... It seems that you know His Majesty very well... Haha, it's me, haha..." Mo Xiang laughed twice in self-mockery, then he raised his head slightly, with a complex emotion in his eyes, "It's nothing else, I just don't want to be loyal to you, but end up with a bad reputation a thousand years later, and be criticized by those historians..."
The words were a little unclear, but Chu Tianxiao understood them.
He narrowed his eyes slightly: "You... can see it?"
Mo Xiang touched the formation plate and said, "Among the books in the Xiangguo family's collection, there is a volume that talks about the Heavenly Blood Puppet. I happened to have read it... Its true power is far more than what you have shown."
"So, if I don't move then, will I wait until you kill the real one as well, and then tell the truth before you die?"
Mo Xiang laughed at himself and said sadly: "Then my death was too unjust."
Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao fell silent. After a pause, he said calmly, "I, a commoner from the Great Zhou Dynasty, lurked alone beside the enemy chief, waiting for an opportunity to strike. Although I achieved great success, I was severely injured by his precious treasure and died before he could strike me. I died bravely..."
After these words fell, a strange look appeared in Mo Xiang's eyes, like surprise and gratitude. After a moment, he looked at Chu Tianxiao and nodded slowly: "Thank you."
Chu Tianxiao turned around and waved his hand.
"I just think there's no need to argue with a dead person about this matter."
After saying this, he seemed to have no interest in talking to Mo Xiang anymore and left.
After receiving the signal, Bai Lao took a step forward.
Mo Xiang lowered his head slightly and clenched the formation plate in his hand. There was not much fighting spirit in his expression. Instead, there was a sense of relief...
From beginning to end, Chu Tianxiao never said a word of persuasion or reconciliation, and Mo Xiang also had no intention of doing so - because they all knew that it was impossible.
