Chapter 690: Cang Gu, what crime do you have? (Seeking subscriptions, seeking monthly

"Good means! Truly good means!" Xie Ergai paced back and forth in his commander's tent, his brows tightly locked, "This move of rehabilitation and rewarding is simply hitting my Achilles' heel!"

The core banner he raised when he started the rebellion was "Clearing the Emperor's side, seeking justice for my father."

Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to rehabilitate his father, which is equivalent to directly pulling out the greatest righteous foundation for his rebellion.

Those generals and soldiers who followed him because they sympathized with Andrei's encounter, what reason do they have now to continue following him to attack the "wise and holy" new emperor?

Coupled with such heavy rewards, it is almost like putting him on a fire to roast.

If he accepts, then the nature of his rebellion changes, from an "righteous army" to a warlord "seeking rewards," and people's hearts will inevitably drift away.

If he doesn't accept, then it will appear that he is aggressive and has no sincerity for peace talks, and he will also lose some support.

"This must be the strategy of that old fox Romanov! This is an open conspiracy, forcing me to either disband the army and accept the amnesty, or completely lose the righteous name!" Xie Ergai felt a sense of difficulty.

His originally grand rebellion cause was about to be put in a dilemma by this edict.

"No, absolutely cannot sit and wait for death!" Xie Ergai stood still abruptly, a trace of determination flashing in his eyes, "The only one who can break this situation now is Master!"

He didn't dare to be slow, and didn't care that it was already late at night, immediately gathering a small team of trusted guards, leaving the camp overnight, riding fast, and galloping towards the direction of the Wu Ancestor's Holy Land in the North.

He must see his Master as soon as possible, report the situation, and seek a strategy to break the situation.

This sudden change disrupted his steps and also made him realize more deeply that ginger is still old and spicy; Romanov's combination of punches is indeed powerful.

At the same time, the new emperor Ma Te's procession was heading towards the Wu Ancestor's Holy Land in the North in a grand manner. As the Wu Ancestor's trusted aide, the old wizard Cang Gu knew deeply that the Wu Ancestor intended to control the Daluo Dynasty, and making the royal family that had entrenched itself for thousands of years bow and submit was a key step.

The emperor is the face and symbol of the royal family; how can one truly subdue this proud royal family?

Li Chen handed this matter entirely to Cang Gu to handle, which was also a test of his wrist.

The old wizard Cang Gu had lived for a long time and was well-versed in human hearts and power tactics.

He did not directly refuse the audience, but set a series of extremely harsh ancient rituals aimed at humiliating the dignity of the royal family.

He ordered the new emperor to strip off his gorgeous clothes in the ice and snow, wearing only plain single-layered clothes, and from the outskirts of the Holy Land, perform the long-lost, almost humiliating ancient ritual of "nine steps, three kowtows."

For every nine steps he walked forward with difficulty, he had to bow and kneel to the ground, kowtowing three times towards the direction of the Holy Land, repeating this cycle until he reached the seat of the Wu Ancestor.

This ritual originated from the ancient tribes' submission to powerful wizards, full of slavery and humbleness.

When the news spread, the world was in an uproar.

Such a request, for any emperor with a bit of blood, is a tremendous humiliation; one would rather break like jade than be a tile, even if it meant the destruction of the country and family, one would fight the Wu Ancestor to the end; otherwise, what face would one have to stand between heaven and earth?

However, Ma Te's reaction made everyone drop their jaws.

This new emperor not only had no anger at all, but instead felt as if he had received a great favor, gratefully and tearfully agreeing to it! ===== CHAPTER 691 =====
