Why are we always BE

"Don't spoil it yet, I haven't finished reading it yet." Jiang Shu stopped her.

"..."

In the huge temple, Jiang Li's divine robes and Yao Ju's general robes were scattered on the ground, causing people to shout that the rituals and music were broken.

"Aren't you afraid that I'm blaspheming the gods in the temple?" Yao Ju picked up the scattered clothes and said.

"I am the master of the temple here. Whatever you can do is with my permission. It is not considered blasphemy." Jiang Li said.

"In a different identity, you have exceeded the rules a lot." Yao Ju pinched Jiang Li's chin and teased.

"Yao Ju, the national destiny of the Great Shang has been exhausted. Relying on the national destiny of the Great Shang cannot maintain the stability of the mortal world." Jiang Li took Yao Ju's wrist and said seriously.

"Are you trying to persuade me to surrender?" Yao Ju asked.

"I have never had this idea," Jiang Li said.

Yao Ju took back her hand and insisted. "I was born as a member of Dashang, and I died as a ghost of Dashang."

"I was born to maintain the stability of the Three Realms, and I died for the stability of the Three Realms. Now that the Three Realms are in chaos, I will not gamble with the fate of the Three Realms, so no matter what, I will not stand on your side, Dachang." Jiang Li said. .

"Jianli, why did you name yourself Jiangli?" Yao Kuan asked.

"Because I betrayed my country." Jiang Li took a deep breath and replied.

"Why betrayal?"

"Because I have foreseen the future. My country has already had no peace due to frequent wars, and the people have no life. What's more, our country's national destiny is at an end. If this war continues, it will be nothing more than a disaster. In addition to bringing consequences to the people of our country, There is no meaning other than war and chaos.”

"So you took your army and surrendered?"

"No. But I coerced the king of a country to sign a reconciliation agreement, and the two countries merged into one country, and the world was unified. From then on, the whole country's grief and indignation over the country's destruction turned into hatred for me. The world called me a lackey of other countries, I hate that I have great power but am unwilling to use it to protect my country," Jiang Li said.

"You deserve to be scolded. Why do you want the stability of the Three Realms to depend on luck, why do you believe in the prophecies of heaven, and why do you conclude that a country's national destiny is over? Their general left them when they were about to leave. You gave your own god Given such a name, you know you are ashamed of them." Yao Ju put on her clothes, stood up and asked.

"If I insist on continuing to fight, the people will suffer so much that they will blame the monarch and me, and then raise an army to revolt. In the end, our country will fall apart due to internal and external troubles. Even if I persist for the so-called feelings, I will be injured from beginning to end. Those are the only people who deserve to be protected, and I will still be respected by the world. It’s not worth sacrificing their reputation after my death! I live to protect them, even if I suffer a lot of infamy, as long as they can live in peace, I will. Anything can be done," Jiang Li insisted.

"What about your general position? Your king personally gave you the general position, are you worthy of him?"

"My king has lost his mind in order to seek immortality, and even laid stakes to build the Temple of Immortality at the cost of the lives of three hundred children. He is no longer the king I want to follow. The king and the people, I chose the people, That's all." Jiang Li said calmly.

"You bet with me once. I am regarded as the god of Dashang by the priests of Dashang. I believe that Dashang can make a comeback and prosper forever. It is just the chaos of the three realms. Dashang will definitely be able to lead the common people through it. This catastrophe and the regret that you didn't do it can be ended this time." Yao Yan said.

"Haha." Jiang Li smiled mockingly and said, "I have never had any regrets. After the merger of the two countries, I secretly united with the monarchs of other countries to kill my king to avenge those three hundred children. I gave this name , to remind myself that I live to protect mortals, not to protect royal power.”

"The same is true for me, and I believe the same is true for the people at Dashang." Yao Ju said.

"Yao Ju, it's time for you to go back." Jiang Li said.

"Jianli, why don't you gamble? What are you afraid of?"

"In this world, anyone can bet, but God cannot. Besides, the chaos of the three realms is not as simple as you think. I don't dare to bet, and I can't bet. Go back, and from now on you will be your General Shang, and I will lead There are hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers, we are facing the sky, each walking on one side." Jiang Li sighed and said.

When she woke up again, Yao Ju found herself lying in her tent, fully dressed, as if nothing had happened.

Is it a dream? Yao Ju secretly said.

"General, it's time to get up and wash up." The maid said respectfully, bringing hot water into the tent.

"Prepare water, I'll take a shower." Yao Ju sat up and said.

As soon as his body moved, the pain all over his body surged out.

"But General, wasn't it just last night that..." the maid asked in surprise.

"Prepare water." Yao Ju said.

"Yes." The maid had to retreat respectfully.

The mess in the temple last night seemed like a big dream when I woke up now.

It would be nice if it was really a dream, but it is really hard to believe that Jiang Li is a god. Yao Ju secretly said.

The water for the bath was quickly prepared. Yao Ju refused the maid's service and undressed alone.

It wasn't until she saw her bellyband tied backwards and the knots different from usual that Yao Ju believed the facts of last night with a dark face.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Yao Ju asked his subordinates to come forward to report the battle situation.

"Return to the general, Jiang Li ran away." A subordinate reported.

"Don't worry about him." Yao Ju said.

Anyway, from now on, the road faces the sky, and everyone goes one way.

In the next few months, Yao Ju learned from Da Zhou's spies that Da Zhou had appointed a new general, but this person was not Jiang Li.

The new official took office and made three mistakes, which caused the big merchants to retreat one after another.

Yao Jue's camp was also brightly lit every night, just to discuss new countermeasures.

The internal situation of Dashang is not optimistic either.

It is clearly sunny in June, but there is heavy snow in the sky. There was no time to supply clothes to keep out the cold. Fortunately, the clothes left over from last year were barely able to withstand the severe cold.

And in the seventh month, when the fires are flowing, there will be floods in the north, drought in the south, chaos in the sky, and epidemics.

August is still young, corpses are displayed on the streets, ordinary people sell their wives and kill their children in order to survive, and birds and beasts eat people in the streets, making life miserable.

What's even more fatal is that Yao Ju received the news that the high priest went south to pray for rain and was struck by thunder and died.

For a time, rumors of Shang's death spread widely, and Yao Kuan also received a military order.

"If you lose again, please General Yao hold up your head to apologize to the king."
