Chapter 5 Chapter 4 Achilles heel

As soon as my eyes came into contact with the daggers on the waists of those people, my heart suddenly lit up——When I met Tianjia Tuwang, Tuwang always liked to put his hands on his waist. On his belt, there was also a Holding a dagger, of course, the gems on the leather case are much more luxurious. It can be inferred from this that these people are related to King Tianjiatu. Most likely the earth king still wanted me to help him pass the test, so he sent so many people to follow me. Thinking of this, I felt very relaxed, and said with a smile: "Actually, no matter what the outcome of your meeting is, it has nothing to do with me—I have already met with King Tianjiatu."

I said it easily, but as soon as I said it, not only the middle-aged man was very nervous, but even the people around him looked strange. Seven or eight young people took a few steps forward quickly, and the atmosphere suddenly changed. into very bad.I also steadied my horse, ready to strike at any moment, because it seemed that those people were about to attack me. The middle-aged man was not only nervous, but also very anxious. He even stretched out his hand to grab me.At that moment, of course I easily grabbed his hand, but I could see that he was not attacking me, but that he was flustered and just wanted to grab something casually for peace of mind.

So I let him grab my arm with both hands. His expression was extremely terrified, his voice was trembling, and he asked, "Have you already promised him?" I was very surprised by his reaction—if they were sent by Tianjia Earth King, they should be very happy that I have agreed to the Earth King's request, and there should never be such a reaction. At this time, not only the middle-aged man seemed to have received a great blow, but the rest of the people were even more inexplicably indignant. Those young people even glared at me, full of hostility in an instant. Originally, although those people behaved ghostly, I didn't feel any strong hostility. Otherwise, I wouldn't have guessed that they were members of the Non-Human Association.

But now the hostility coming from all directions has almost turned into a thick murderous aura, which makes people feel awe-inspiring. As soon as I felt that the atmosphere was not right, I immediately grabbed the middle-aged man's wrist with my backhand—this way, even if everyone attacked me, I restrained their leader and should be able to gain the upper hand. At this moment, two young men had already rushed in front of me, their daggers were unsheathed, and the cold light flashed.When they were about to attack or not, my heart moved in vain, and I determined the origin of those people. I was very annoyed that I didn't think of the identity of the other party until this time, and I couldn't help but let out a strange cry.

At the same time, the middle-aged man shouted angrily: "Back off! Back off all!" In order to show that I had no intentions towards them, I let go of the middle-aged man's hand when he was shouting. Now that their identities have been determined, I can be sure that there will be no conflict between me and them. . They are indeed related to Tianjia Tuwang, but they are not the people sent by the Tuwang, not the Tuwang's subordinates, but the Tuwang's opponents! I understand that these people are opponents of the earth king, so I will never become enemies with them, so there is no need to be nervous.

After I let go of the middle-aged man, I immediately said loudly: "No, I did not agree to the request of the earth king!" Just one sentence changed the mood of everyone around them in an instant. Some people even let out almost whimpering cheers because of their joy. It can be seen that they were extremely excited. The middle-aged man was relatively calm. Although he also had an expression of surprise, he stared at me without making a sound. I spread my hands to him: "If your purpose is to ask me not to agree to the earth king's request for the ball, then you don't have to ask me at all, because we have the same understanding."

The middle-aged man was still silent, and a tall young man called out, "You, like us, oppose the rule of the earth king?" This question is not easy to answer, let alone be able to explain it clearly in a few words. There are many problems involved. Of course, under the circumstances at that time, I would not have a detailed discussion with them. I thought about it and said: "I oppose all political powers that are not elected by the people." The middle-aged man took a breath and waved his hands around. Although he didn't speak, his gestures were very powerful. At least forty or fifty people followed his gestures and walked away silently in a blink of an eye. In less than three minutes, they disappeared without a trace, and there were only me and the middle-aged man left by the lake.

The middle-aged man sighed, hesitated for a while, and said: "I am very happy and lucky, and I am not an enemy with Your Excellency. But it is also regrettable that we cannot be friends." What he said sounds unpredictable, but it is easy to understand if you think about it a little.This middle-aged man has an extraordinary bearing, and the rest of the people respect him very much. It is conceivable that he must be a member of the royal family. That is, he is a contender for the throne. His objection to the rule of Tianjiatu King was not to overthrow the totalitarian regime, but only for himself to be the Tuwang.

So whether he succeeds or fails, it has no effect on the common people at all.So I don't help King Tianjiatu, and I'm not in a hostile position with him, but I won't be his friend either. I suddenly felt very disgusted. It is not uncommon in human history to overthrow a totalitarianism like this, but to establish another totalitarianism that is more brutal. What's even more disgusting is that in this process, there must be one party claiming to plead for the people, as if justice and axioms are completely on his side, but in the end it ends up saying all the good things and doing all the bad things!The worst of human behavior is this.

So I took a few steps back, using body language to show distance from the person.At the same time, I said coldly: "Your Excellency and the people under your leadership, please don't appear around me anymore. I have no interest in your battle for the throne!" The middle-aged man was actually very knowledgeable, and immediately nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I am very grateful if you don't help King Tianjia——" I didn't wait for him to finish, so I stopped loudly: "Shut up! What I do or don't do is not for you, and it has nothing to do with your struggle! If you express gratitude to me, you may have to face the consequences. The counterproductive effect!"

The middle-aged man was still smiling and agreed repeatedly. I didn't want to entangle with him any longer, so I turned around and left.But he shouted behind me, "Wait a minute, I have something to say." I didn't stop, just slowed down.He could only hear him say loudly: "Please pay attention to one thing—whatever conditions King Tianjiatu promises to you, I can double it!" I turned around abruptly and raised my hands at the same time. I really wanted to rush forward and slap him twice, but when I saw his appearance, I didn't feel that there was anything wrong with me. Instead, I was eagerly looking forward to my return. Answer, I feel completely unable to communicate between me and him.Under such circumstances, even if he was beaten to death, he might not know why. So I can save a little effort, so I didn't make a move, I just gave him a cold look, then turned and walked away. He didn't follow either.Not long after I got back to the hotel, I found that all those people had disappeared.I came here wholeheartedly to wait for Bai Su, but when I encountered this incident, it was naturally extremely boring. In addition to being boring, I also feel very uncomfortable, because those people must have carefully arranged for them to follow me here. My actions have long been under their surveillance, and I am not aware of this phenomenon. Shows that I'm no longer fit to spin around in the adventurous life--if they want to turn against me, there's plenty of opportunity to do it. And they do have reasons against me—if I agree to King Tianjiatu's request, I will be in a hostile position with them, and I am completely incapable of any plot they may impose on me due to my insensitivity. prevention. With this feeling, the unhappiness in my heart is extremely extreme! I also don't want to wait for Bai Su any longer, I just want to find a place to think about what happened to me that led to the current situation. I really want to thank King Tianjiatu and the middle-aged man for treating me so highly and thinking that I can play a decisive role in their struggle for the throne. I drove to the airport and got on the first plane to take off without asking where I was going. After the plane took off, I asked for a bottle of wine and drank half of it in one go. Then I closed my eyes and rested my mind. I was in a state of confusion, wondering whether I should be like Boss Bai and find a place to live in seclusion.But then it occurred to him that at Boss Bai's advanced age, even though he lives in seclusion, whenever something happens, he still participates as usual.It can be seen from this that it is by no means easy to really jump out of the world of mortals. Thinking of this, I involuntarily sighed. Before I finished sighing, I heard a very familiar voice from behind me, asking in a low voice: "Why does Wei Jun use wine to drown his sorrows and sigh long and short?" I was all too familiar with that voice, so for a moment I thought it was my hallucination, that it was caused by drinking too quickly, so I didn't turn my head to look, but sighed again. At this time, someone sat in the empty seat beside me, and I didn't bother to see who it was. From my actions at this time, it can be seen that I was in a bad mood at the time, and it was almost to the extreme. The person sitting next to me reached out and patted the back of my hand twice, as if to comfort me, telling me not to be so restless. This surprised me-although I already felt that my reaction was beginning to be sluggish, but it wasn't so sluggish! I immediately turned my hand over and grabbed the wrist of that hand—this is a small grabbing hand in martial arts. I dare not say that I am faster than lightning, but it is definitely within half a dollar. Now that I have made a move, my eyes naturally turn to the target of my attack. I saw that one made a move, obviously able to avoid my grab in a flash, but it immediately stopped still, and caught me straight. I don't understand this any more. The opponent is afraid that I won't be able to catch it all at once, and will feel even more uncomfortable, so he let me catch it to comfort me. At this point, I naturally no longer have any doubts about the person next to me, so I smiled wryly: "Ten years of couples, why bother to give in!" That person—of course it is Bai Su, with a soft voice: "I'm in a bad mood for a while, so don't be disheartened." I grabbed her hand, knowing that she had been carefully made up, because the hand looked very dark.I looked up at her and couldn't help laughing.Bai Sushe disguised herself as a woman, with a bright red dot between her eyebrows. I smiled and pointed at the tip of her nose: "There is one missing nose ring." Bai Su also smiled: "It's good enough, at least—" She spoke halfway and stopped talking.I naturally knew what she wanted to say, she wanted to say that at least she had been around me a lot, and I didn't recognize her.The reason she didn't go on, of course, was that she was afraid of provoking me again. I also thought it was funny, and shook my head: "I was in a trance, and I thought it was a hallucination when I heard your voice!" Bai Su looked at me, and I spread my hands: "I don't even know the destination of this flight!" Bai Su didn't say anything, just held my hand.I told her how I met those people while I was waiting for her by the lake, and at the same time I told her that I felt that it was not suitable to live an adventurous life because of it. After hearing this, Bai Su still remained silent for a while. After a long time, she sighed and said: "In fact, we are not willing to take risks, but many things force us. So it doesn't matter whether it is suitable for an adventurous life-unless you don't want to live anymore!" I thought for a while, but I still felt a little helpless, and shook my head: "At least I can actively avoid things that will cause trouble." Bai Su suddenly laughed: "I'm afraid life will not go according to subjective wishes!" She actually said such so-called "philosophical" words, which make people laugh and cry, and at the same time make people wonder what the actual meaning is. I just wanted to make further inquiries, but Bai Su had already winked at me, and I was stunned for a moment. According to her eyes, there were not many people in the cabin, no more than ten.But when I took a look, I found at least three people who were looking away from us quickly. Their actions indicated that they were paying close attention to me and Bai Su just now. I believe that these people have been following me to get on the plane. Judging by their appearance, they are still similar to Tu Wang.These people are so lingering, it is really unreasonable, it is unbearable! I made a gesture to Bai Su, signaling her to stay in the seat, I got up and walked towards the person closest to me, it was an old man who seemed to have a lot of status, I am not sure if I met him by the lake over him. I went aggressively, but the other party was not surprised. Instead, he bowed slightly to express his welcome, with a calm expression. I came to his side, sat down, and asked coldly: "Which side do you belong to? Support Tianjiatu King or oppose Tianjiatu King?" The old man smiled gracefully: "Neither support nor oppose." I stared at him, and was about to utter bad words, but he already said: "As the oldest member of the royal family and the identity that can represent many people, I just hope to follow the traditional rules." I still couldn't help it: "That's a damn thing about your family, what are you all following me like this!" The old man's attitude is still very elegant, he said: "Thank you very much for asking for an explanation—" Before he finished speaking, I was already impatient with his soft-skinned snake attitude. I sneered and said, "I didn't ask for it, but you have to explain it!" The old man spread his hands and said: "We know that the King of Tianjia asked you to accompany him to pass the test, so we must know whether you agree--if you agree or refuse, it means that Tianjia passed or failed the test, We have to be prepared first, this is our country's top priority, and we cannot rush into it without preparation." I was amazed and amused at the same time: "You think highly of me so much, how could it be that if I participate, King Tianjia will pass the test?" The old man also laughed: "To be honest, I didn't know what kind of person you are like a month ago. It's just that I know that King Tianjiatu has already started looking for talents three years ago, and I will accompany him to pass the test. In the end, he decided that Your Excellency is the best candidate, and I believe his choice will not be wrong!" I shook my head: "Not only was it wrong, but it was a huge mistake—because I would never agree to his request!" The old man looked at me suspiciously, clearly expressing that he didn't believe my words, which made me very annoyed: "Give me three reasons why you don't believe me." The old man responded, "One is enough—if you don't agree to King Tianjiatu's request, why did you come to our country?" I wanted to utter bad words again, and asked him who would want to go to a place like him.But before the words came out, Bai Su coughed softly behind me.My heart suddenly moved, and I lost my voice: "Is this plane flying to you?" The old man's eyes widened: "Don't tell me, you don't know the destination of the plane!" I smiled wryly, and turned my head to look at Bai Su, who gave me a helpless expression.I was really helpless, I shook my head and said, "If you don't believe me, there is nothing I can do!" Unexpectedly, the old man actually said: "I believe—because in the past month, I already know exactly what kind of person you are!" I breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for trusting me." The old man sighed: "That is the misfortune of King Tianjia, and the great fortune of Haigao──I can start preparing for the enthronement ceremony of King Haigao." Of course I know that Haigao is the middle-aged man I met by the small lake. At this time, the old man also said: "You have met both Tianjia and Haigao. Which of them do you think is better to be the earth king?" The question itself was already very funny, and he asked it in a serious manner, which made me laugh out loud. In the cabin, except me and Bai Su, the rest are probably all the old man's servants, so they all glared at me, blaming me for being rude to the old man. The old man's reaction was very serious: "You mean, it's the same between the two of them as the earth king?" I made a sarcasm: "You actually understand!" The old man shook his head slowly: "Actually, there is a big difference. Some earth kings are good to the people, and some earth kings are not good to the people—there is a big difference between them." I sneered: "The ancient people didn't understand, so they had to pray to God to give a good earth king. Now the common people already know that they have the right to choose a good 'earth king'. This is the result of the progress of human civilization. Although there are still many places, the earth king They have deprived the people of this power with the barrel of a gun; but in civilized countries, the "soil king" is elected by the people, which is called "democracy". I'm afraid you don't understand it." The old man closed his eyes for a while, but did not answer my words—for a country that still has the Tuwang system, the democratic election of a national leader is a distant dream, and of course the old man could not respond to my words. However, the response of the old man when he pressed the button was far beyond my expectation. The old man smiled wryly: "It is impossible for King Tianjiatu to accept the general election to determine his status." I asked, "Why? From your words, Tianjia Tuwang seems to be quite popular among the people, better than Haigao." The old man shook his head blindly: "Nevertheless, the earth king of Tianjia would rather accept the test of tradition—although no earth king in history can pass this kind of test, and all of them are missing, and their lives and deaths are unpredictable. A man of courage—" He paused for a while before continuing: "But the most courageous earth king does not dare to hand over his throne to the whole people to decide. This is the deathbed of all rulers like the earth king. Realized, as long as they think about it, they will tremble with fear, become insane, and act crazy. We are just an insignificant small place on the earth, of course we cannot escape this law. Even some great countries, when they hear the general election It’s just a neuropathy, which shows that this kind of problem is deeply rooted.” It was these words that surprised me inexplicably and greatly beyond my expectations. Seeing my surprised expression, the old man smiled: "I have doctorate titles from three universities, and one of them is a doctorate in political science." I couldn't help but said: "Since you have such a deep understanding, why don't you work hard to reform your country's political system?" Now it was his turn to laugh: "Why should I reform? Once I reform, my status will be decided by the whole people—I am also afraid!" I wasn't amused at all, just disgusted.I said coldly: "People like people seem to be majestic rulers, but in fact they are outright cowards, worse than rats, they are the filthy dregs of human beings, and they will definitely be swept away and melted by history! " This time, the old man's reaction was beyond my expectation. He showed a very tired expression, and even his voice became bitter. He actually agreed with my words: "You are right, that's why we The reason why people hate and fear when they hear about national elections." He admitted this, I sneered and stopped talking. I returned to my seat, Bai Su clapped his hands together, although he didn't make a sound, but of course it was applause for what I said just now.Then she said in a low voice: "The plane flew into the sphere of influence of the Earth King, and the hero Wei Da might be in trouble." I said loudly: "Welcome!" I said this to some people in the cabin──I believe that among the people led by the old man, there must be the eyes and ears of King Tianjiatu.The despicableness, dirtyness, and shamelessness of power struggles have existed since ancient times, and are especially fierce today.Not only among those of the old man, there were the eyes and ears of King Tianjiatu and Haigao, but also among the subordinates of King Tianjiatu and Haigao who swore their allegiance to the death, of course there were also rebels. As for making the rudder according to the wind, bowing down when seeing power, having milk is a mother, saying black in the morning, saying good at night, having a thicker skin than a cow's hide, etc. are all tricks, so I believe my words will definitely spread to the earth. in the king's ears. I want to see what this earth king, who looks brave on the surface but is actually timid, can do to me! Bai Su understood what I meant and raised his eyebrows to express his support. I felt amused in my heart—not so long ago, I was trying to find—a place to hide away from the world.But now, he is making trouble out of nothing, and he is afraid that the world will not be chaotic. From this, we can see that the world is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. The cabin became calm for a while, and after a while, a man in the captain's uniform came out of the cockpit and came straight to me, with a very respectful expression, and bent down: "Mr. Wesley, I have your call." Before I could respond, I heard the old man groan, and then the captain lowered his voice with a solemn expression: "It's Tutu's call." I naturally understood why the old man had such a reaction, because he knew that someone in the cabin had secretly reported what happened to King Tu, so the call from King Tu came to the plane. I simply put on a show and said lazily: "Please tell the king, I don't want to answer the phone right now. If he wants to talk to me, as long as he has a way to catch up with me and land on the airport first, I can do it." Give him some time." The captain looked like he didn't believe his own ears, and stayed there, not knowing what to do. The old man raised his voice and said, "Just do what Mr. Wei said." The captain then repeatedly agreed and walked back to the cockpit. After the captain walked away, the old man imitated my tone and lazily said: "Unexpectedly, your Excellency also understands the art of bargaining---the bigger the air, the better the conditions will be!" Originally, I had a good impression of this old man, because he was able to bluntly say things that some people tried their best to hide. But now he satirizes me like this, which proves that there is still an insurmountable gap between me and him.I said coldly: "By the way, I have many conditions to put forward. The first one is that King Tianjiatu should demote you to a commoner." The old man's face became extremely embarrassed.This man is a tragic figure—his knowledge is completely opposite to his behavior. In this case, as long as he is not devoid of conscience, if he still has a little humanity, he will feel inexplicable pain. Looking at his current situation, he is in conflict and feels sad—but if he is to give up the privileges he enjoys now, it will still be worse than ascending to heaven. I didn't say anything to him anymore, I just narrated the situation in the castle to Bai Su by myself.Of course, the test that King Tianjiatu will pass is also mentioned. We spoke in our native dialect, which I'm sure no one in the cabin could understand, as could be seen from their expressions. I narrated Qi Bai's bastard behavior again. When I said it, I was still very angry, and of course I uttered bad words.
