MTL - Once, I Wanted To Be a Good Person (I Wanted To Be A Good Person Once)-Chapter 322 239. Unless Mr. Bai is resurrected? (5800 words)
Hearing what the **** said, Fang Ze couldn't help turning his eyes to the chief assistant who received him.
Compared to this **** who seemed a little difficult to mess with, Fang Ze still had to trust this chief assistant who had received him from the very beginning.
At this time, seeing Fang Ze's eyes, the first assistant also turned slightly sideways knowingly, and softly introduced in Fang Ze's ear, "Speaker Fang, this is Eunuch Gao, who is by His Majesty's side."
Hearing Shoufu's introduction, Fang Ze also understood that the identity of the person in front of him should be fine. So he stood up, slightly cupped his hands towards Shoufu, and said, "Then Master Zhao, I'll go first."
Seeing Fang Ze being so polite, Shoufu also stood up and returned the salute to Fang Ze with a smile, "It should be so."
Seeing that the two were so close, Eunuch Gao cast his cold gaze over the two of them, then retracted his gaze, stood aside with his hands down, and moved away from the door.
Passing by Eunuch Gao, Fang Ze followed the great **** and walked in the imperial city of Tangzhou. Although he kept his eyes on the road all the way, he was secretly looking at the imperial city of Tangzhou with empty eyes. Layout.
In general, the architectural style of Tangzhou is closer to the Chinese architecture of Fang Ze's previous life, with carved railings and jade, Gui Dian Lan Palace, there is a kind of antique, thick and grand feeling in 789, which makes Fang Ze feel happy Not a lot.
I don’t know if I felt Fang Ze’s emotions. From the beginning of the meeting, Eunuch Gao, who looked like a poisonous snake, asked in a shrill voice, "Is it the first time for Chairman Fang to come to Tangzhou?"
Fang Ze nodded without looking sideways, and said, "Yes."
Eunuch Gao, "You can come here often when you are free. Tangzhou and Xida are still different."
Hearing Eunuch Gao's words, Fang Ze was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but look at him calmly. But at this moment, Eunuch Gao, it seems that what he said just now is not what he said, there is no expression on his face, making it impossible to guess what is going on in his heart.
In this way, under the leadership of Eunuch Gao, Fang Ze arrived at Zichen Palace.
Arrived at the Zichen Hall, Fang Ze waited outside the door, while Eunuch Gao went in to report first. After a while, he came out again and led Fang Ze into the hall.
Fang Ze stepped into the inner hall, and saw an old man leaning on Longtao.
He has white beard and hair, but he is wearing a black dragon robe. Perhaps because he has ruled the entire country for decades, the wrinkles have spelled out dragon patterns on his face that are not angry and majestic.
At this time, he was leaning on the dragon tower, looking at Fang Ze with a pair of tiger eyes without joy or sorrow. Even though he didn't show any strength, Fang Ze was still very uncomfortable with the oppressive feeling of the emperor.
The king's talent is ineffective in the face of such a master whose rank and strength surpass Fang Ze. So Fang Ze is almost equivalent to standing naked in front of Li Huang.
Fortunately, Huang Li didn't intend to give Fang Ze a bad start, he didn't wait for Fang Ze to take the initiative to salute, the aura on his body was withdrawn at the touch of a button, then he nodded his hand towards Fang Ze, and said to Eunuch Gao in a deep voice, "Look at the seats. "
Eunuch Gao bowed slowly and saluted, "Yes, Your Majesty."
At this time, Fang Ze also came back to his senses, and quickly cupped his fists to thank, "Thank you, Li Huang."
Li Huang waved his hands indifferently, then covered his mouth and coughed twice, picked up the golden cup on the Longta table and took a sip of hot tea.
Eunuch Gao's movements were still very fast. In just a few seconds, a large chair came into the hall. Fang Ze gathered his clothes, sat down, looked at Li Huang, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, this time I'm here Tangzhou is asking you to act on behalf of Xidazhou."
"Now that the demigods from outside the territory have descended, the seven states in the eastern jurisdiction are united. No matter which state is captured by the demigods from outside the territory, it will make the enemy stronger."
"Only by confining the enemy to Toye Prefecture while they are still weak, can we have a slight chance of winning."
"So, we in Xida State want to gather demigods and military bases from several surrounding states to trap Toye State and limit the development of demigods outside the territory. Try to eliminate this crisis."
"I don't know what you want?"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Li Huang raised his drooping eyelids, and looked at Fang Ze with either joy or sadness, and just looked at him like that.
For a moment, he didn't answer Fang Ze's question, but suddenly changed the subject and said, "Fang Ze, I remember your fief is in Congyun City?"
Fang Ze was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Yes. The territory of our Si family is in Congyun City."
Li Huang asked, "Is it the border with Toye Prefecture, that is, the front line?"
Fang Ze nodded without denying it.
Seeing that Fang Ze continued to nod, Li Huang said slowly, "So, actually, you have very selfish intentions in summoning us to rescue Xidazhou at this moment."
This question is a bit embarrassing. Fang Ze couldn't help but think about how to answer this question.
As the envoy of Xida State, he should use righteousness to unite the surrounding states. If it is mixed with selfishness, the other party will immediately have a reason to refute or reject it.
But this also divides people.
Fang Ze recalled the information he had obtained about Li Huang in the past two days. Although Li Huang is arbitrarily self-willed and self-willed, he also loves the people like a son.
The reason why he was able to develop Tangzhou into an existence second only to the three states directly under it, and to suppress the trend of constitutional monarchy back then, was because he put the people first in everything, cared about people's livelihood, lightened taxes and corvees, and widely distributed Welfare, to rule the world with leniency.
In front of such people, caring for the people does not seem to be a deduction.
Furthermore, in front of such an old fox who has been in power for decades, Fang Ze didn't think he could fool him.
So, thinking of this, after hesitating for a while, Fang Ze chose to be honest with each other. He said, "As far as Xida State is concerned, the demigods of the states are invited to come here for the sake of justice. To me, there are indeed many Big selfishness."
Fang Ze said, "Although I have just taken over Congyun City, I have a responsibility to the tens of millions of Congyun City's subjects."
“I can’t just watch them being displaced like this, their families destroyed.”
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Li Huang's expression did not change at all. He just nodded, and then said, "To master the artifact, one has a responsibility to the people. Your selfishness is not wrong."
"but."
Speaking of this, he changed his voice, "You need to be responsible to the thousands of people in Congyun City, and I also need to be responsible to the hundreds of millions of people in Tangzhou."
"If I abandon the people of Tangzhou now and go to Xida Prefecture. Once Tuoye Prefecture turns around and turns to attack Yunlan Prefecture and Tang Prefecture, what should I do?"
Hearing Li Huang's words, Fang Ze couldn't help saying, "Your Majesty, even if Tuoye Prefecture turns around, you still have enough time to return to Tangzhou."
"But once Cedar State falls, Tang State may also follow in the footsteps of Cedar State!"
"If there is no skin, how can Mao be attached? Saving West Dazhou is also saving Tangzhou!"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Li Huang couldn't help but smile. He had a strange smile, as if the skin on his face was tearing up. He had a feeling of being a hero and seeing through the vicissitudes of the world.
After laughing, he looked at Fang Ze, and then suddenly chatted about other topics again, he said, "Fang Ze, do you know why the demigods from outside the territory chose to let our 102 nobles become Demigods? And why are they descending on a large scale now, fifty years later?"
Fang Ze was stopped by Li Huang's question.
Li Huang half leaned on the dragon tower, looked at the rising sun outside the window with deep eyes, and then said in a late voice, "Because of time, time."
"The 102 of us back then were like the rising sun, at the peak moment of our lives. We had righteousness and ideals in our hearts. Even if the temptation of the sky was in front of us, we would not be tempted in the slightest."
“We believe that we will fight for the race, for our loved ones, and for the world all our lives.”
Speaking of this, Li Huang's voice gradually became lower and lower, "However, decades have passed in a flash. Gradually, we find that we are getting old, we find that we can no longer carry a sword, we can't hold a knife, we find that we can't hold a knife. When we will die. We are also afraid.”
"Death is a nightmare that so many heroes and heros throughout the ages cannot escape?"
"Even we don't want to get caught up in this nightmare."
"What's even more frightening is that, for us, it's so easy to escape death: we just... kill our relatives, betray our race, and we can get it at our fingertips."
"We will live forever, stay young forever, and restore our bodies to their peak. We will not be punished. We even have the perfect excuse: we are preserving the last seed for the human race."
Speaking of this, Li Huang looked at Fang Ze with a pair of tiger eyes, and said, "Do you understand how unfair the two ends of the balance are?"
Fang Ze looked into Li Huang's eyes, and said involuntarily, "But Jialan Houde is dead. The demigods from outside the territory directly slaughtered his descendants as sacrifices. They are just using you and will not let you go." Yours."
Li Huang smiled and said, "Look, you still don't understand."
Li Huang explained, "Do you think Jialan Houde really cares about the death of Jialan Houde?"
Fang Ze didn't answer, Li Huang shook his head, "I don't care. Since he chose to betray, his descendants are destined to be captive pigs and die."
"They don't die, how can Jialan Houde live forever?"
"It's just because Jialan Houde died first, so the demigods outside the territory took advantage of it. All the demigods of the human race saw all this clearly and didn't care at all."
Hearing Li Huang's explanation, Fang Ze suddenly understood. He couldn't help looking at Li Huang, and asked, "Then you?"
The smile on Li Huang's face disappeared, and then he said with a bit of vicissitudes, "I, I haven't made up my mind yet."
He said, "I don't care about those unworthy descendants. What I care about are my hundreds of millions of subjects"
"Maybe in the end, I will also choose to abandon the human race and achieve eternal life. But I hope that I can at least protect my subjects for the last time."
After listening to Li Huang's words, Fang Ze understood what he meant: To put it bluntly, with Li Huang's identity and strength, he has too many retreats, and Tangzhou also has too many retreats.
The extraterrestrial demigods are here to reopen the world, not to make enmity. They could have allowed Huang Li to be neutral and leave Tangzhou until the end to be destroyed with the world. There is no need to confront Li Huang head-on.
The same is true for Li Huang. He has too many ways to let the subjects of Tangzhou go to the end, and he can't go down at all. He doesn't need to take risks for the people of other states.
So, Fang Ze's so-called "superficial theory" is simply untenable.
It is Xida State, not Tang State, that has no way out.
Thinking of this, Fang Ze, who understood everything, felt sad, but he didn't continue to persuade: the two sides have different interests and perspectives, and any further persuasion is just self-defeating. Instead, he asked individual questions, "Does the Federation know what you think?"
Looking at him, Li Huang asked, "What do you think?"
Fang Ze fell silent.
Li Huang said lightly, "What do you think the Federation has done so many things over the years to weaken the strength of the nobles? Don't you just know that 90% or 99% of the nobles have other thoughts?"
"In other words, even if some nobles don't have it, the Federation should think that they have it."
"The life and death of a race is not a joke, and gambling is not tolerated. As a federation that leads the entire human race to survive, they cannot pin their hopes of victory on a group of people with a future."
"He Weidao, they did the right thing. They want to weaken the nobles, concentrate power in their hands, unite the human race, guard against the demigods of the human race, and defend against demigods outside the territory, until they finally find a way to win, or delay their defeat. time"
Speaking of this, Li Huang paused, and said earnestly, "And we are the last seeds of the human race."
"If one day the human race really fails, the world will be destroyed again. Like the thousands of demigods outside the territory, we will start to fall into reincarnation again and again, to destroy the world of other races, and seek the last trace for our own race. Hope to rule the world."
"They are fighting in life, but we are fighting after death."
"This is a tacit agreement between us and the Federation."
Hearing Li Huang's words, Fang Ze wanted to refute, but at this moment Li Huang slightly raised his hand, interrupted him, and said, "Besides, the reason why I have told you so much is not because I value you so much. , but entrusted by others.”
Speaking of this, Li Huang picked up a secret letter on the table and threw it to Fang Ze casually.
Fang Ze reached out to take the envelope, opened it, and while reading it, he heard Li Huang say, "After you came to Tangzhou, He Weidao wrote me a secret letter, informing me of the crisis in Xidazhou and telling me I hope I will keep you and protect you in Tangzhou."
"The reason he gave was that you are the last blood of the Si family, and you are very talented. Once you die, the power of the last seed of the human race will be reduced again."
"Of course. I don't believe it."
Li Huang smiled, "That guy is a cunning, and he is a death fighter of the Federation. He never thinks about things after the genocide. It is not in line with his character to make such an arrangement."
"It's just that I'm too lazy to ask."
"I brought you all the information anyway. Just think about it yourself."
At this time, Fang Ze also read the secret letter in his hand.
He couldn't help frowning slightly, feeling that the amount of information was a bit too much.
Because in the secret letter besides what Li Huang introduced just now, there are also a series of arrangements He Weidao made after he left.
Fang Ze really didn't expect that He Weidao actually asked him to come to Tangzhou on purpose, and after he left, he directly blocked the entire Xida Prefecture, posing as if he would stand to the end. It seems that they intend to test out the reality of Toye State and the Demigod at the destruction level at the cost of one state.
As for why Fang Ze was sent away ahead of time, Fang Ze actually knew the reason: it was simply because He Weidao thought that [Prisoner God Method] on him could increase the chances of winning for the human race. That's why I found a way to send Fang Ze away first.
But the problem is that [The Imprisonment Method] is not on Fang Ze's body at all. It was on the black woman from Yuncheng.
Fang Ze was a little bit dumbfounded for a while.
At this time, Li Huang coughed twice, adjusted his sitting posture, and then said, "You should have seen the order issued by the Federation not long ago."
"This war is a war of genocide. The gains and losses of a state, or even the gains and losses of a district, are not in the eyes of the Federation."
"In other words, as long as the human race can win, even if there are only 100 people left in the end, it is worth it."
"So, Heweidao intends to personally test out the reality of Toye State and that demigod at the destruction level. To obtain information for the Federation."
Hearing Li Huang's words, Fang Ze was really annoyed. He said, "Why does Dao want to use his death to obtain information? I don't care. But the hundreds of millions of people in Xida Prefecture are not his pawns." , the members of our family are not his pawns."
"No one can decide whether they live or die except themselves."
"As for the way of obtaining information, there are many, many ways, and it is not the only way to fill in by human life."
As he spoke, Fang Ze stood up, bowed his hands to Emperor Li, and said, "Thank you for your advice today. But forgive me for disagreeing, I will go ahead."
After speaking, Fang Ze ignored Li Huang's reaction, turned around and left.
Seeing this scene, Li Huang didn't say anything to stop him. Instead, he just leaned on the dragon tower, watching Fang Ze's back leave the inner hall like a sleeping dragon.
After a while, Li Huang withdrew his gaze, clenched his hands into fists and covered his mouth and coughed twice, then he put down his hands, looked out the window, his eyes were full of smiles, "Old Bai, you have really good eyesight.".
Farewell to Emperor Li, while Fang Ze was strolling on the way out of the imperial city, he was also thinking about how to rescue the Si family and the hundreds of millions of people from Yuncheng and Xidazhou.
But now that He Weidao has closed the space in West Dazhou, and Li Huang has also refused to ask for help, Fang Ze really can't think of a way.
His only idea is to become Dahei Jialuo first, and then go to Tuoye Prefecture to personally contact the Venerable Origin Bone. I hope that in the process of contact, I can see if I can influence Venerable Yuangu and make him give up attacking Xidazhou. Or buy time for the masters of the Si family and the subjects from Yuncheng to evacuate.
And just as Fang Ze was planning such a plan, suddenly, he was stopped by someone who had just walked to the gate of the imperial city.
"Speaker Fang, please stay."
Hearing that address, Fang Ze couldn't help looking up curiously, and then saw that at some point, Eunuch Gao, the great **** who was serving Huang Li, was standing at the gate of the imperial city with a yellow brocade bag in his hand. He looked at himself with eyes like a poisonous snake.
Seeing this scene, Fang Ze stopped, looked at him, and asked, "Eunuch Gao, what advice do you have?"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Eunuch Gao stepped forward, bowed slightly to Fang Ze, then handed the kit to Fang Ze with both hands, and said in a thin voice, "Chairman Fang, this is the brocade bestowed upon you by His Majesty." bag. Said it contained what you wanted."
"Give it to me?" Fang Ze took the kit curiously while being surprised.
The kit was slightly heavy in the hand, as if it contained something heavy.
Fang Ze looked at Eunuch Gao, then stretched out his hand and opened the kit, but the kit was a treasure of space with a small box and a yellow note inside.
Fang Ze picked up the yellow note first, then opened it, and looked at it.
There is only one sentence on the note: If you want to retreat from the enemy, only Bai Qingcang can be resurrected.
Seeing this note, Fang Ze couldn't help opening his mouth wide, a little surprised.
Bai Qingcang is the name of Mr. Bai. But... the resurrection of Mr. Bai? ? How is this possible!
Even a demigod cannot reverse life and death.
Thinking of this, Fang Ze couldn't help blinking in doubt, then picked up the small box and looked at it again.
The small box is cold in the hand, but if you look closely, you will find that the whole body is made of solid ice, and there is a small person lying quietly inside.
Fang Ze took a closer look at the villain, and almost lost his hand, because...that villain looks exactly like Mr. Bai.
Or, this is the corpse of old man Bai!
Fang Ze blinked, feeling that everything was connected: Old Master Bai died that day, and his body was taken away by Uncle Tian.
Tian Bo took the body of old man Bai, and after meeting Fang Ze and Bai Zhi outside Congyun City, he should have come to Tangzhou and handed the body over to Huang Li for safekeeping.
After that, Li Huang finally returned the corpse to himself after chatting with him once.
Although Fang Ze wanted to understand all this, Fang Ze was still confused.
Did Mr. Bai foresee his current situation?
Otherwise, why would he pass the corpse around and finally send it back to him?
But what did he do with the dead body for himself? What did Li Huang mean by old master Bai's resurrection?
What kind of charades are these two old men playing?
