Chapter 742: Minister Gao: I am not afraid that Fang Jie will not become the Holy Lord! [3 more]

"Fang Tianding is dead!

"There are no more male descendants in Fang La's lineage!"

Gao Yu stared into Fang Jie's eyes and said in a sonorous and powerful voice:
"The Southern Kingdom is being invaded by 100,000 Chu troops again!

"If the king defeated the 100,000 Chu troops at this time!
"Who in the Southland can compete with the King for the position of Holy Archbishop?"

Fang Jie frowned: "This..."

"Your Majesty!"

Gao Yu took a deep breath and tried to persuade him earnestly:

“The previous king set up such a big trap!

"He got rid of Sheng Gong for the king, drove Fang Mao away for the king, and finally sacrificed himself to protect the king!

"Isn't it just for the sake of the king's day?

"The late king has paid for all his sins with his life!
"The king is innocent!
"Now that you can legitimately succeed to the throne, why is the king still hesitating?"

Fang Jie covered his chest with one hand, feeling extremely heartbroken.

He had never been so conflicted before.

In the past, he only cared about fighting on the battlefield.

But now, he is actually in the middle of the game...

The person playing chess was his grandfather Fang Hu!
Fang Hu's letter clearly stated:
Fang Jie's father died in battle during Fang La's founding of the country.

Therefore, apart from Saint Fang La, there are only three kings in the Southern Kingdom, Fang Mao, and no one knows who the second king is.

In order to make up for Fang Hou's pain of losing his son, Fang La named Fang Hou the Emperor's Uncle King.

Fang Hu still felt that Fang La owed his son.

So he wanted his grandson to be the Archbishop.

Now Fang Hu has paved the way for Fang Jie, and he has taken the blame himself.

Fang Jie is innocent, so isn't it just the right opportunity for him to inherit the position of Holy Archbishop?

Fang Hu thought it was reasonable, and Gao Yu also thought it was reasonable.

But Fang Jie couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart!
Gao Yu encouraged Fang Jie again:

"Your Majesty, the late king has already won over a group of loyal ministers!
"The 'Four Dragons of Zhejiang' in Wulongling Water Village are all managed by Cheng Gui, nicknamed 'Jade Claw Dragon'!

“There are also Wu Sheng, the commander of Dusong Pass, and Gong Wen, the commander of Huzhou. They will all support the king!

“Although Pang Wanchun, the commander of Yuling Pass, is not your Majesty’s man, your Majesty can recruit him to fight against the Chu army together!

"Let's fight a few battles side by side. When the king is ready to take the throne, Pang Wanchun will definitely support the king!
“In addition to this, the late king also united an external aid for the king, who can play a big role at a critical moment!

"Now there is only one Princess Jinzhi in the Holy Archbishop's bloodline!
"Who else can be the new Holy Archbishop except the King?"

"no……"

If it were Fang Jie in the past, he might have been moved by Gao Yu.

But since he met Liu Gao, he admired Liu Gao as a person, and even became a destined friend of Liu Gao.

Fang Jie's three views have been deeply influenced by Liu Gao.

It would be fine if he didn't know that Fang Hu was the mastermind behind it.

Knowing that Fang Hu was the mastermind behind all this, Fang Jie felt strongly opposed to becoming the Archbishop.

Fang Jie waved his hand to signal Gao Yu not to say anything:

“My father died in battle to protect my uncle.

“But I don’t think my uncle owes us anything.

“Because my uncle gave us everything he could.

"My grandfather is the Emperor's uncle, and I am the Supreme General of the Imperial Guards in front of the palace, in charge of all the internal and external armies. I am the most powerful official in the country!

"But as a family, my grandfather killed my eldest uncle and forced my third uncle to leave. I can't accept this in my heart!
“If my grandfather had not done these things, perhaps I would now be the one to run for the title of Archbishop.

"But my grandfather did these things, and I'm afraid that even if I sit on the throne, I'll be haunted by my uncle's wronged spirit!
“You don’t have to persuade me!

"I will pretend that I have never read this letter, nor heard you say these words!"

As he spoke, Fang Jie tore up the letter and stuffed it into his mouth.

After chewing it in big mouthfuls and swallowing it, Fang Jie told Gao Yu:

"I will do my best to protect the Southern Kingdom!

"But I will never be a Holy Archbishop!" Gao Yu: "..."

"Yesterday, the scouts reported that the Imperial Master and the Right Prime Minister retreated to Wulong Ridge, and the main force of the Chu army is attacking Wulong Ridge."

Fang Jie made a decision that went against his ancestors:

"I will send troops to Wulong Ridge now!"

Gao Yu was shocked: "What is the king doing in Wulong Ridge?"

"Attack from both sides with the Imperial Master!"

Fang Jie said resolutely:

"Work together to drive the 100,000 Chu troops out of the Southern Kingdom!"

Gao Yu was anxious: "Your Majesty, this cannot happen!

"We in Shezhou only have 30,000 troops!
"Why not wait until both the Chu army and the Imperial Master are defeated, and then attack the Chu army..."

"shut up!"

Fang Jie pointed at Gao Yu's nose in a stern voice:

"Put away your little thoughts, I don't want to hear these words again!
"Gather the troops now, I want to send troops to Wulong Ridge!"

Gao Yu: “…Yes.”

Fang Jie has always been decisive in doing things, so he made the decision in the morning and set off after lunch.

Looking at the majestic King Fang Jie in front of the team, who looked like Lu Bu's reincarnation, Gao Yu was not discouraged:

Now there are only three people left in the Southern Kingdom Royal Family——

Fang Jie, Fang Jinzhi and Fang Mao who is in exile!
Fang Maung is definitely not qualified to succeed to the throne.

Fang Jinzhi is a woman.

Who else could succeed to the throne except Fang Jie?
Gao Yu thought secretly:

By then, as long as I incite them a little, Fang Jie will be the popular choice!
Not afraid that Fang Jie won’t become the Archbishop!
Even if there is any accident, there is external help!

As long as foreign aid intervenes, no problem is a problem!

"Rumble...Rumble..."

Fang Jie personally led a thousand cavalrymen in the front.

Although he said he forgot, how could he forget?
So Fang Jie held his breath.

He wanted to drive away the Chu army to repay the debt he owed to Fang La and Fang Mao.

He came to atone for his sins.

Fang Jie was leading 25,000 southern troops to Wulong Ridge when suddenly a scout came running back in a panic:

"Big, big, big king, no, no, it's bad!"

"Pfft!"

When he was about to reach Fang Jie, the scout's horse was so tired that it foamed at the mouth, its legs went limp, and it fell to the ground!
The scout also fell off his horse!
When Fang Jie saw this, he jumped off his horse without hesitation, took a few steps forward, and helped the exhausted scout up with both hands:
"What happened?"

The scout said breathlessly with a pale face:
"My king, it's bad. One hundred thousand Chu troops have arrived..."

When he said this, the scout's voice became weaker and weaker, as if he was out of breath.

Fang Jie couldn't help but move closer and put his ear close to the scout's mouth:

"Where did you kill?"

"Kill... Kill..."

A gleam of light flashed in the scout's eyes, and while acting, he secretly pulled out a knife and stabbed Fang Jie:

"Killing you!"

"Pfft!"

Being so close, Fang Jie was caught off guard and was stabbed in the lower abdomen by the scout!
Fortunately, Fang Jie reacted very quickly and grabbed the scout's wrist, so the knife failed to penetrate completely!
"brute!"

Fang Jie was shocked and angry, he grabbed the scout's wrist and twisted it!
"Crack" the scout's arm broke!
The scout was about to draw his sword with his other hand, but Fang Jie quickly grabbed his wrist and twisted it again!
"Gaba! Gaba!"

Fang Jie directly twisted the scout's legs and broke them, glaring at him viciously:

"who are you?"
