At dusk, Liu Zhongqing slowly woke up.

As soon as he woke up, he remembered the news of his son Liu Chen's death, and immediately started wailing again.

The most painful thing in the world is for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person to someone else, and Liu Chen is his favorite son, the one he spent a lot of effort to cultivate, and is his best son.

When Su Zhaoyang, the little bastard of the Su family, died, he also felt sad because he lost a chess piece, but the chess piece was different from his biological son. The most important thing was that the eldest son died in the hands of the third son, so he could see it with his own eyes.

to scenes of fratricide.

Thinking of Liu Yin, Liu Zhongqing was extremely angry and immediately asked someone to press him down.

Liu Yin was dragged to the hall like this. He looked calm at the moment, as if he was not afraid of anything.

"Father, this rope is very tight. You'd better ask someone to loosen me."

Liu Zhongqing's fingers were trembling, but there was an expression of disbelief on his face.

"You killed your brother and you dare to ask me to unshackle you?"

If Liu Yin was very afraid of this father before, he might have been too scared to speak now, but now, he is very confident.

"It is true that I killed Liu Chen, but the matter is now over. You have already lost one son. You will not lose another son as well, right?"

Liu Yin looked at his father and said word by word.

"Instead of continuing to worry about the cause of Liu Chen's death, it is better to think about how to save me. After all, I am your only son."

When Liu Zhongqing heard these words, he felt as if he heard deafening thunder. He never thought that his third son would threaten him, let alone that he would be so cold-blooded and ruthless.

He only felt that his eyes were going dark and he was about to faint again. Before he fainted, he suddenly felt that his heart was cold, not for himself, but for his son Liu Chen.

It turns out that the reason why Liu Yin is so cold-hearted and ruthless is because this son is like him. Before Liu Zhongqing fainted, he was not thinking about justice for his son, but thinking that Liu Yin was right and he really wanted to save his life.

His own youngest son.

No matter how useless Liu Yin is, he is still a seedling of the Liu family. Liu Chen is already dead. He cannot stick to the dead all the time, but must leave a way for the living.

So I can only feel sorry for Liu Chen.

Liu Yin watched helplessly as his old father fainted, but he only felt happy in his heart.

If you can take advantage of the situation and piss people off, that would be even better.

Little did they know that within two days of Liu Zhongqing's fainting, Jiang He had already mobilized all the southeastern armies. He held the tiger talisman in his hand and announced his identity as the commander.

Although the prince was not by his side, he had his own 10,000 imperial guards guarding Jiang He, obviously to support him. The soldiers dared not say anything, so they had to hang their heads.

Jiang He knew, however, that although these people surrendered on the surface, they actually disapproved of him in their hearts.

He is the Censor of Xiuyi, a person newly chosen by Emperor Wu. He is not an incompetent son of a family hiding behind the glory of the crown prince. On the contrary, he wants the soldiers of the southeastern army to truly surrender to him.

"I know that you were originally following Liu Chen, and even wanted to assassinate the prince with him, which shows that you approve of him in your heart, and I will take over the leadership position after him. I can understand if you don't approve."

The soldiers looked at each other in confusion. They did think so in their hearts, but they also knew that they were just ordinary soldiers in the army. They were born to protect the Wu Dynasty with their lives and had no right to speak at all.

When outsiders mention the Southeast Army, they think of them as the four major battalions of the Wu Dynasty, and they respect them extremely, but they respect this title, not any of the soldiers among them.

Over the years, dynasties have changed, and the soldiers leading them have also changed several times.

The same was true for Liu Chen before. When they first came to the Southeast Camp, they knew Liu Chen's surname was Liu, and they already knew why he could take the position of general. They were also dissatisfied, but after following the general, they gradually accepted his fate.

, had to obey Liu Chen.

This is the first time that a general has taken the initiative to ask the soldiers for their opinions after taking over.

Behind Liu Chen were Liu Zhongqing and the Queen, and behind Jiang He was His Highness the Crown Prince. They were all people with great backgrounds. Even if they asked lowly, no soldier would dare to tell the truth.

Jiang He understood and took off his coat, exposing his upper body. However, his body was covered with sword scars, which looked shocking.

"I want to take over the Southeast Army, and we are brothers who fight together, so I want to be honest with you. I was once a member of the army. I relied on my military exploits and hard work to get to where I am today. I have walked past you.

The road I took, I walked through the sea of ​​blood and stood before you."

"The sword wounds on my body are my glory. They are proof that I protect this country. They are earned by fighting on the battlefield. They are the respect I deserve. Brothers, let me see your glory."

His words made the soldiers of the southeastern army boil with excitement. They were used to fighting with swords on the battlefield. An extra scar was as simple as losing a hair. They no longer cared about it.

But today some people say that these sword scars are their honor and the respect they deserve.

The Southeast Army is the four major battalions that protect the Wu Dynasty. They are the pillars that support the peace and stability of this country. They are the cornerstone of protecting the freedom and well-being of the people in the city. They should not be used as a bargaining chip in the struggle for imperial power.

For a moment, these soldiers, who were always being held hostage, were moved to tears. They took off their coats one after another and showed the scars on their bodies.

Everyone's body is full of scars, including knife wounds, sword wounds, and even fire scars. It's hard to imagine what these soldiers have experienced before.

Jiang He slowly closed his eyes, and the bloody scene on the battlefield seemed to flash before his eyes.

"Because I have experienced the same thing as you, I know what you are thinking. You are not really obeying Liu Chen. You are just obeying the person sitting in the general's position."

After experiencing too many wars, the soldiers have gradually become numb to who they are loyal to and only know how to obey orders, so they will assassinate the prince together with Liu Chen.

"But now, Liu Chen has been executed, and the position of general is vacant. I carry the tiger talisman to take over the position of commander and temporarily take over the responsibilities of the general. Some people may say, why should I be the one?"

"I regard all the soldiers as brothers. Today, I want to convince you all, so I am standing here. If anyone is not convinced that I will take over the position of commander, you can come up and challenge me."
