Luo Ye City, Prosperous Alley.

Jin Qiang, who once could cover the sky with one hand in Zhenhai Province, was now extremely down on his luck.

His hair was loose and disheveled.

Even the joints of his legs were bleeding.

His whole body was dirty and messy.

Who could have imagined that the infinitely glorious figure of the past would become a prisoner of the present, all within a single day?

This also confirmed the cruelty of the Longling Kingdom.

When you are glorious, you are more glorious than anyone else.

But, if you fall into despair, your end will be very miserable.

And a person's glory and loneliness are not accidental.

Nor are they inevitable.

First, it is related to you personally.

Secondly, there are the forces of all parties.

Jin Qiang's loneliness was just like that.

First of all, in Zhenhai Province, he offended many people.

Those nobles were instigated to be at odds with Tianyue City, and Jin Qiang contributed to this.

From the first time he met Lin Chen, Jin Qiang implemented his plan.

Later, he even pushed Lin Chen to the title of nobility.

Because of this, the De family, fearing the growth of Tianyue City, or out of greed, began to attack Tianyue City.

Everything was within Jin Qiang's plan.

From the De family to the Wu family.

Jin Qiang not only did not stop this process, but even used this point to try to suppress those nobles, but the nobles were not ordinary people.

When faced with oppression, they will fight back.

It just so happened that Jin Qiang himself had a problem.

This problem came from Lin Chen, from Tianyue City.

Jin Qiang couldn't control it.

Then, he was backlashed.

Lin Chen killed Wu Xingtian, killed Zhi Zili, and then killed Zhi Zhi Jin!

Jin Qiang suddenly realized...

Lin Chen's strength had unknowingly reached a terrifying level.

Even if he took action himself, he could no longer suppress it.

As his natal weapon was cut off by Lin Chen, he was seriously injured...

Then.

All parties began to reassess whether he was still necessary.

Politics are often cruel.

This cruelty lies in...

You can be sacrificed at any time for the sake of the overall situation.

The current Jin Qiang has become the compensation given to the parliament after the King promised Princess Qingyue to continue supporting Lin Chen and Tianyue City, and also after the King had to make a compromise because of the appearance of the Duke Huguo, Long Yandao, who demanded someone.

Many nobles died.

The previous De family can't be counted.

However, in the last two days, a Wu family died.

And people from the Huo family.

These all have to be counted.

Who will take the blame?

Jin Qiang!

Who will compensate the nobles?

It is still Jin Qiang, and all the resources of the Jin family.

In this way, all parties will be compensated.

The King and Princess Qingyue got the land and finances they wanted.

Lin Chen can continue to survive.

Although, what he got was not much, but he killed people.

And he wanted to rebel.

But in the end, he retreated completely.

Although the parliament and the nobles suffered losses, a Jin Qiang and the Jin family at least allowed them to save face, not to mention that they could actually gain some benefits... After all, whether it was the dead De family, the Wu family, or the Huo family, they were all dead, and the other nobles did not suffer any loss of interests.

So, the nobles can also be satisfied.

Sacrificing a Jin family can actually satisfy all parties.

Then, can you, Jin Qiang, and the Jin family, still exist?

When people lose power, this is the end.

At this time, Jin Qiang naturally understood that he had become a victim of the Longling Kingdom's King's struggle.

However, he had the demeanor of a real man.

Even though this was the case, he still did not show any lowliness. His eyes were indifferent and generous, and his gaze was straight ahead.

Until he heard a voice.

"Uncle!"

Jin Mu had arrived.

At the moment he heard the voice, Jin Qiang's eyes seemed to light up.

Jin Mu had arrived!

The current Jin Mu is not what he used to be.

If, he is under Lin Chen's command.

Without Lin Chen's order, could he come?

He couldn't!

So, Jin Qiang immediately thought of the key...

It was Lin Chen who sent him here.

Since Lin Chen was willing to let Jin Mu come over, it meant...

The Jin family may still have a little room to maneuver.

At least they won't be exterminated!

"Stop!"

Soon, the ruthless scolding of the Black Iron Guards sounded: "This is an important criminal of the parliament, who is about to be escorted to the capital for trial. Who are you? Do you dare to stop the Black Iron Guards from doing their work?"

Black Iron Guards!

This is an organization that can make countless officials grit their teeth.

Because...

The Black Iron Guards are specially used to deal with officials!

The parliament's lackeys and hawks.

However, they specialize in dealing with their own people!

It is really difficult to like them.

But precisely, the Black Iron Guards not only have great power, but also have great strength.

The Black Iron Guard Supervisor in charge of this operation was Xiu Xia Wei Zhong.

This person is a well-known cruel official.

He is also a member of the iron triangle in the Black Iron Guards.

He is also a third-rank early-stage powerhouse!

Therefore, with the Black Iron Guards taking action this time, the Jin family had no power to fight back at all.

Jin Qiang, who was already seriously injured by Lin Chen, couldn't even withstand a single move in Xiu Xia Wei Zhong's hands, and was beaten into his current appearance.

But next, Jin Mu fearlessly met the gaze of this third-rank early-stage powerhouse: "I am Jin Mu, the deputy general under the command of the Central Army Commander of the Dragon Guard Army. I have received the order of the Commander to inform the Black Iron Guards... Our Commander wants to see your so-called important criminal!"

"Bold."

Xiu Xia Wei Zhong looked indifferent: "How can the Black Iron Guards' important criminal be seen by whoever wants to see them? Your surname is Jin, and you call the important criminal Uncle... Then this Supervisor will kill you, and it is only natural!"

"Since when can the Central Army Deputy General of the Dragon Guard Army be killed by your Black Iron Guards whenever you want?"

At this time, another voice sounded.

Immediately, countless Longyuan troops surrounded them.

And Lin Chen also appeared.

He was standing next to Long Qianshan.

It turned out that, with Lin Chen's speed, he let Jin Mu chase the Black Iron Guards, but Lin Chen himself went to find Long Qianshan.

The current Lin Chen is a very important person in Long Yandao's eyes.

He is the Central Army Commander of the Dragon Guard Army on the Empire Battlefield!

The Central Army has always been the mainstay on the Empire Battlefield.

Lin Chen came to the door, and Long Qianshan had to give him this face.

So, Long Qianshan came.

The son of the Duke Huguo!

The commander of the Longyuan Army!

He is qualified to stand in front of all the hawks.

"So it's the eldest young master..."

Xiu Xia Wei Zhong had to bow his head when he saw Long Qianshan.

He even called him Eldest Young Master.

This Eldest Young Master is not a casual title.

In the Longling Kingdom, the royal family's children, before they are granted titles, only they can be called princes.

Then, there are the young masters of the various dukes.

Of course, the sons of marquises can also be called young masters.

But there is only one Eldest Young Master.

That is Long Qianshan!

The eldest son of the Duke Huguo!

This shows that the Duke Huguo is indeed the head of the Three Dukes.

This is a matter of status, and it has nothing to do with political struggles.

"Our Dragon Guard Army has no intention of obstructing the Black Iron Guards from doing their work, but... just seeing him once should not delay your Black Iron Guards, right?" Long Qianshan's tone was rather stiff.

He is the Eldest Young Master.

From a young age, he was tempered on the Empire Battlefield.

He has not experienced much of the cruel struggles in the Longling Kingdom.

He doesn't need to experience it either.

He doesn't even need to understand it.

It is most difficult to deal with this kind of person.

Because they only recognize death.

Just as Long Qianshan opened his mouth and said Dragon Guard Army.

This is the Zhenguo Divine Army!

With such a big mountain pressing down, even a cruel official like Xiu Xia Wei Zhong had to frown.

He didn't have much time to consider, so he could only step aside and say, "Eldest Young Master, please!"

But Long Qianshan frowned: "What? Could it be that when this young master comes, you still want to send someone to monitor me, and you don't trust this young master?"

"I dare not."

When Xiu Xia Wei Zhong heard this, he knew what to do.

He took his men and retreated to the side.

Then Lin Chen said, "Go ahead, go see your uncle. Also, I have some super tonic pills here, give them to your uncle to eat."

"Thank you, Commander! Thank you, Eldest Young Master!"

Jin Mu was already grateful to tears.

He took the tonic pills and came to the front of the prison car, wiping his tears.

"Uncle..."

"Jin Mu, Jin Hu."

Jin Qiang looked at his two nephews, and forced a smile, and said to them: "You two must remember that from today onwards, try to stay on the Empire Battlefield and do not come back! However, the Empire Battlefield is too cruel. If you want to survive, you must be loyal to your commander. Do you understand?"

"But Uncle, the person who caused you to be like this is Lin Chen!" Jin Mu said unwillingly.

"No, you remember, Lin Chen is not the person who caused my Jin family to be like this. We are just victims of the struggle! And you, from now on, must be loyal to him. I... no, you two, swear now, swear with your souls!"

Jin Qiang suddenly became agitated.

He knew that he didn't have much time to explain anything to his two nephews.

So, he simply gave the order directly.

Swear with your soul!

Because Jin Qiang knew that the only person who could control his two nephews now was Lin Chen.

And only on Lin Chen's side could Jin Mu and Jin Hu be of some use.

Lin Chen is the only way out for Jin Mu and Jin Hu!

But if, as Jin Mu said, they still resent Lin Chen...

Then, the two of them are tantamount to seeking their own death!

Jin Qiang will not allow them to do so!

"Back then, on the Empire Battlefield, I followed the Duke Huguo, loyal and unwavering, and only then did I have my later status, but I was wrong..." Jin Qiang sighed infinitely: "In the end, I chose the King. Perhaps, from that moment on, my tragedy was already doomed. So, everything that happened today has nothing to do with Lin Chen, do you two understand? Lin Chen did not hurt me, although he cut off my natal Jin Qiang, he did not know that the Jin Qiang was connected to my soul. But you look at your uncle's current appearance... See clearly!"

At this moment, Jin Qiang looked like a person explaining his last words.

However, what he wanted to give to the Jin Mu and Jin Hu brothers was not any family property or belongings.

But... hatred!

"Your uncle's current appearance was caused by the Black Iron Guards, the parliament, and those nobles! Our country will sooner or later be divided up by these nobles, or even destroyed! With these nobles existing, then the entire Longling Kingdom's people will have no chance to rise to the top! So, the people I want you to hate are them, do you all remember?"

Jin Qiang frantically instilled hatred into his two nephews.

At the same time, at this moment, Jin Qiang's heart was also a little regretful.

The Jin Mu and Jin Hu brothers swore with their souls.

Only then was Jin Qiang satisfied, and he let the brothers leave, because... Long Qianshan had arrived.

This Longling Kingdom's Eldest Young Master, was also everyone's Eldest Young Master.

He didn't have any extra words, he just came to Jin Qiang, and handed him a bowl of wine.

Then, Long Qianshan drank it all in one gulp.

"Eldest Young Master..."

At this time, Jin Qiang's eyes were filled with tears.

"Mm!" Long Qianshan finished drinking the wine, just nodded, and then turned and left.

Not a single extra word.

The strong wine was very fragrant.

However, it was bitter when it reached Jin Qiang's mouth.

He even chewed it for a while...

What is there to chew in wine?

What he was actually chewing on, was perhaps bitterness.

Finally, it was Lin Chen's turn.

"Province Lord." Lin Chen came over and greeted him first.

At this time, Jin Qiang no longer had the cunning look of the past. He smiled bitterly at Lin Chen: "Did you see that? The Eldest Young Master has nothing to say to me, do you know why? Back then, I was also a member of the Dragon Guard Army! If I was still a member of the Dragon Guard Army, I would definitely not have fallen to this point."

One sentence summed up everything.

Dragon Guard Army!

This is also what Jin Qiang wanted to tell Lin Chen.

The Longling Kingdom's struggle is too cruel.

So, the Duke Huguo is right!

The Dragon Guard Army only focuses on the Empire Battlefield!

Then, no matter how the Longling Kingdom internally fights, it has nothing to do with the Dragon Guard Army.

And the Longling Kingdom's internal forces, you can fight however you want, but don't involve the Dragon Guard Army!

So Jin Qiang would say that if he was still a member of the Dragon Guard Army, still a subordinate of the Duke Huguo, and had not left the Dragon Guard Army to choose to be loyal to the King, perhaps he would not have today.

Even if he had today, Long Qianshan would not have been able to protect him!

The bitterness that Jin Qiang was chewing on earlier was here.

"I am a very practical person."

Lin Chen naturally understood what Jin Qiang meant, but he was not Jin Qiang, and he was not someone who wanted to rely on any forces. He had his own ideas, and he also had an identity that was completely different from Jin Qiang...

A Blue Star person!

So, Lin Chen just asked: "Is the Province Lord willing to give me the seal of the Jin family army?"

With Jin Qiang, Lin Chen didn't want to play any tricks or schemes.

Because this person is good at playing these.

So Lin Chen was very direct.

"Then can you guarantee that you will not use the Jin family army as cannon fodder on the battlefield, and will take care of my two nephews?" Jin Qiang asked back.

"We'll see!"

Lin Chen smiled and said: "Province Lord is still the same Province Lord. I knew that even if you are down on your luck, the only thing between you and me will always be interests and business... Okay, this business, I, Lin Chen, will do it with you!"

"Okay, I believe you."

Jin Qiang handed over the seal of command.

"Province Lord, farewell... I advise you, the most important thing for a person is to live. As long as you live, then there is still hope for everything!"

Lin Chen left a sentence and left.

"Living..."

When Jin Qiang heard this, he immediately felt even more bitter.

Sometimes, living is more difficult than dying!
