QT: The Rescue Of The Miserable Bigshots-Chapter 300 - 10.1 Rebel King x Traitorous General

Upon seeing the message sent by Qing Hong, Jiang Jiamian’s heart sank.

Could something really have happened to that guy?

Could it be that his previous attempt to test him had actually cost him some unknown price?

And now that the group chat had reached this point, the group leader still hadn’t shown himself.

There was a perfectly reasonable explanation that the other party simply hadn’t seen the message. Yet Jiang Jiamian couldn’t suppress the strange feeling rising in his heart, as if there were some unavoidable reason, some special situation, that prevented the group leader from appearing.

[Sword Master: Are you alright? Do you know the group leader?]

Qing Hong had sensed it earlier as well, there was something off about the atmosphere between the group leader and Jiang Jiamian.

It was a very strange feeling. One that neither he nor ’I can’t think of a name’, could insert themselves into at all, as if there were some indescribable but mutually understood secret between the two of them.

[Lone Commander: Ahahaha, I don’t know him. I’m not familiar with him. I was just curious, that’s why I asked.]

[Sword Master: It’s okay if you do know him. We understand.]

[I can’t think of a name: Yeah, we all understand, hehe.]

[Lone Commander: ...]

After a long while, he quietly withdrew his divine sense from the quick-transmigration chat group.

In the vast, empty white system space, Jiang Jiamian remained motionless for a long time.

So long that the system sensed something was off with his emotions and began searching for a suitable way to comfort him.

But before she could speak, she saw Jiang Jiamian suddenly stand up.

He raised his hand and wiped his face hard.

"Let’s go!" He said firmly. "The next world."

Whatever. No matter what the situation was, he would see that person again in the next world, even if it was only a part of his soul.

Rather than staying in the system space, sinking deeper into frustration and uncertainty, he might as well move forward and continue this quick-transmigration journey.

He refused to believe that this matter would remain a mystery forever.

Even if it was buried beneath layers of fog, Jiang Jiamian would peel it away piece by piece.

He would uncover the complete truth hidden underneath.

"Alright, host!"

Seeing that his emotions had stabilized, the system secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let’s enter the next world!"

It wasn’t afraid of anything else, only that its host might suddenly give up and abandon the mission.

Or worse, decide to enter a punishment world again.

When Jiang Jiamian opened his eyes once more, he found himself on a battlefield.

Clad in fine armor and riding a spirited horse, his battle robes billowed in the wind.

Before him and all around him lay severed heads and broken limbs, corpses scattered across the ground. The thick stench of blood filled his nostrils. Behind him stood rows of cavalry, while before him loomed an enemy camp.

The instant he entered this body, vast swathes of memories and original plot information flooded into his mind.

The original owner was also named Jiang Jiamian.

This time, the body belonged to a young general whom even Jiang Jiamian himself couldn’t help but admire... and pity.

He even sensed a faint resemblance between the original owner’s personality and his own.

Confident, flamboyant, and high-spirited. Renowned at a young age. When he killed, it was as if light descended from the heavens, decisive and swift, without hesitation.

Yet this young general had been betrothed by a tyrannical emperor to his mortal enemy, the King of Huainan.

A prodigy, his pride shattered, sent to the bed of his enemy.

His fate was almost laughably predictable.

The original owner, Jiang Jiamian, was the only son of the illustrious Jiang family, a lineage of generations of generals. From a young age, he trained in martial arts under his elders and was proficient in both literature and combat, especially archery and horsemanship. At ten years old, he participated in a royal hunt and struck the bullseye every single time.

From childhood, loyalty to the emperor had been deeply instilled in him. He aspired to become the most invincible general of the Great An Dynasty.

And he proved himself worthy. At fifteen, he became the top martial arts scholar and was appointed General of the Valiant Cavalry.

Both his grandfather and father were stationed in the northwest.

Everything pointed toward a future of glory, a loyal family of generals, defending the nation across generations.

Yet fate turned cruel.

At a time when the Great An Dynasty faced both internal decay and external threats, it was ruled by a suspicious and incompetent emperor.

To the northwest, the border states of Gele and Tuojia constantly invaded and raided. To the southeast, the separatist King of Huainan, Xiao Jinan, steadily expanded his power, threatening rebellion and even usurpation.

For three generations, the Jiang family had been stationed in the northwest, resisting Gele and Tuojia on behalf of the emperor.

Meanwhile, the fifteen-year-old Jiang Jiamian was sent south to confront the King of Huainan.

This confrontation lasted four years.

Everyone believed that sending such a young general there was tantamount to a death sentence. Yet the original owner relied solely on his own abilities to hold the line for four full years.

He neither advanced nor retreated.

Although he couldn’t completely suppress the King of Huainan, he successfully prevented him from marching north, standing like an unbridgeable chasm in the path of Xiao Jinan’s ambition.

But at this critical juncture, disaster struck.

The Tuojia Kingdom, harboring deep resentment over their repeated defeats at the hands of Jiang Jiamian’s grandfather, devised a sinister plot.

It turned out that the Tuojia Kingdom in the north, out of hatred for the original owner’s grandfather’s defense of the northern pass, which they themselves were powerless to conquer, harbored treacherous intentions.

Unable to win on the battlefield, they targeted the emperor’s paranoia.

They secretly bribed traitorous officials within the Great An court, framing the Jiang family for treason.

The emperor, already wary of the Jiang family’s military influence, seized the opportunity.

Thus, Jiang Jiamian’s grandfather was summoned back to the capital and executed. His father was imprisoned.

Stationed in the southeast and completely unaware of events in the capital or the northwest, the original owner learned of his family’s destruction only when an imperial decree summoned him back.

He didn’t even get the chance to see his grandfather one last time.

Upon returning, his military authority was stripped away.

The emperor initially intended to imprison him as well, but at that moment, the King of Huainan sent a message.

He claimed that if the court married Jiang Jiamian to him, he would withdraw his troops and swear never to rebel.

The foolish emperor believed this to be a simple exchange. One man for peace. In his eyes, sending Jiang Jiamian to the King of Huainan was a perfect deal.

But who, among officials or commoners alike, believed this was truly a marriage?

Everyone knew that Xiao Jinan had long hated Jiang Jiamian for blocking his path.

Now, that once-proud young general was to be dressed in red and sent like an offering.

How Jiang Jiamian would be tortured to death by the King of Huainan was something everyone could imagine. Yet no one dared to speak of it.

And the Emperor of Great An cared even less about the life or death of this so-called traitor.
