Chapter 431: Death and Death!

Hive number one.

The old man sat cross-legged in front of Zhong Daolong, looking at him with interest.

It's like there's some rare treasure or mysterious monster sitting in front of you.

After a long time, he said with a mocking tone: "Are you done?"

The king of a country controls the resources of the great empire, but at this moment he becomes a prisoner

Isn't this a joke?

Zhong Daolong was also sizing up the old man. The man who was known as the "Twin Jewels of the Empire" together with Tang Li back then was the best choice in terms of talent, knowledge and appearance.

Popular in Phoenix City, loved by thousands of girls.

To say that he is a copy of Shen Xinglan would be an understatement.

To be more precise, they are enhanced versions of Shen Xinglan.

After all, at that time, the war was raging and the situation was turbulent.

Generals like them who defended their country, guarded the border with their own flesh and blood, and led their armies to defeat the Ossian Empire and the Kaman Federation were retreating and unable to make any progress, they were the heroes of the whole people.

This is why even when the empire declared Tang Li treason, there were still countless people who didn't want to believe it and still insisted on speaking for him.

This is also the reason why he has so many die-hard direct descendants who swear loyalty to him and never change their resolve.

Tempered steel would rather break than bend.

But now, his face is old, his eyes are cloudy, and his body is stooped, like a poor old man suffering from the oppression of life.

If they hadn't met in such a scene, I might not have been able to recognize him at all.

Zhong Daolong also sighed softly and said aloud: "We are old, we are all old."

"Sentimentality is not your style." The old man sneered.

The cunning big bad wolf pretends to be a little sheep with a tail?

"It really came out of emotion. I didn't expect to meet in such a scene."

"What kind of meeting scene do you expect?" The old man looked at Zhong Daolong with a deep expression and asked curiously.

"The scene I expected"

Zhong Daolong paused slightly, as if thinking about the answer to this question.

"The scenario I envision is that we have no chance to meet at all."

"Even if you do, it will be the time when you will be taken to the Imperial Plaza for public trial and beheading."

"I will see you on TV, and maybe I will go there in person to supervise the execution."

"Depending on my mood, I probably won't go. After all, you are already in the past tense. There is no need for me to put so much thought into you."

"I have more important things to do. Dealing with you is just a matter of wiping the dust off my legs."

"It's like a few small polyps growing in the intestines. During the experience, who would think that this is a fatal disease if they are cut out with one knife?"

In Zhong Daolong's heart, the old man is very important, but the old man is also very unimportant.

Twenty years ago, they had the power, the people's trust, and the army to fight. It was too easy to do something.

What do they have now?

A case of annihilating the Tang Dynasty had already killed all their core direct descendants.

Carrying the name of treason, having no soldiers and no power, and being insulted by the whole people, what kind of trouble can it cause?

Now he wants to focus on the Shen family, Qin family and Lu family.

Oh, the old man is also from the Lu family.

This is also the reason why he asked Shen Wuxiang to surround Luban Mountain.

Without their support and contact, what can these few trash fish outside do?

If things failed outside, would the Lu family be willing to risk the entire clan being wiped out to help a 'dead man'?

The answer is a question mark.

"So, you knew I was back a long time ago?"

The old man stared at Zhong Daolong and asked with burning eyes.

"Do you really think I'm an idiot?" Zhong Daolong said with a mocking smile, "Phoenix went to the old land to explore ancient tombs, but was betrayed by his teammates."

"As we all know, Phoenix is ​​the princess of the empire. If there is no huge profit motive, or the dead soldiers raised by the family, who would risk taking action against her? What is the purpose?"

"What's more, the flight path of the escape capsule was wiped out, and who happened to send her to a place called Hatred Mountain? Who could do this? Who has such technological means?"

"The answer is ready to come out. Only the Lu family is sure. After Phoenix came back, he began to intercede for the Tang bandits, hoping that I would sign a special bill to introduce them to Xinxing."

"I didn't expect that after so many years, Tang's traitor would still be evil and have an idea of ​​​​my precious daughter."

"So, I agreed half-heartedly. I wanted to see what kind of trick they wanted to play."

"If we can use him to catch all the traitors hiding in Xinxing, then it will put an end to my worry."

"Chen Fenglei, that old dog, has been investigating for several months. He chopped off a few irrelevant heads and I let him do as he pleased."

"He is unwilling to investigate the truth of the Jiutu case, and I am not willing to unravel the truth of the Jiutu case at that time. If it is found out from the beginning that it was your Lu family who did it, it will be a troublesome matter."

"Are we going to start a war with your Lu family at that time? I'm not ready, and neither is the empire."

"Even if the Lu family is destroyed, I don't want to lose the support of the Lu family's scientific personnel and technological products. I know that this is the key to the empire's strength."

"Were you suspicious of Bandit Tang from the beginning? Didn't you do a genetic test? Your son personally took him there to have it done. Are you still worried?"

"Acting is all acting. This is not to reassure me, but to reassure you."

"Only when you think I'm relieved will you truly feel relieved."

"With the methods of your Lu clan, it is not easy to change a result?"

Zhong Daolong looked at the old man and said in a deep voice: "Moreover, after so many years in power, I have developed a habit. I trust my own intuition more than the evidence that others put on the table."

"All data and information can be modified, but intuition does not lie."

"Although we are respectful every time we meet, I feel that that kid has hidden hatred for me."

"So, you arranged for him to be admitted to the Overwatch Council because you want him to be a knife that can clear obstacles for you?" The old man changed to a more comfortable sitting position.

From the moment the escape capsule landed on Henshan Mountain, the two sides were wrestling with each other and fighting for courage.

You know my strengths and weaknesses, and I also know your depths.

Then, show off each other's acting skills.

Although they experienced numerous dangers in the process, they became the final winners.

Perhaps there is no final victory yet.

However, at least a staged victory has been achieved.

At least the man he hated was sitting in front of him.

He spent countless sleepless nights, and was awakened painfully by the fire that engulfed his heart countless times. Hatred made him completely changed beyond recognition, and he was born prematurely.

However, when Zhong Daolong actually sat in front of him, he calmed down.

Incomparable inner peace.

He had waited for twenty years and suffered for twenty years.

He once thought that if he saw that man again, he would eat his flesh raw and drink his blood.

You must spit on his face, and then ask him if he regrets it or not.

This was a picture he had imagined countless times in his mind.

At this moment, my heart felt like water.

"This is only one reason. I have countless choices and countless knives. I can use him or others."

"But if I want to expose him and seduce those Down syndrome rebels, I have to give him power and let him see the chance of success."

"He did not disappoint me. He dragged me out of the Sunshine Welfare Home. To be honest, it was really shocking."

"These people are hiding under my nose, but I don't notice anything. If they are allowed to grow up again, what if I wait until my two unsatisfactory sons come to power?"

"At that time, will they be able to remove these cancers? Will they be able to pull out these nails?"

"Didn't you also fail?" the old man said mockingly.

"Yes." Zhong Daolong sighed deeply and said, "To be honest, I really didn't expect that things would develop to this point, let alone that I would reach this point."

"Those who have attained the truth will receive much help, but those who have lost the path will receive little help."

"Haha, Lu Yu, you have been through so much and you still believe such nonsense?"

"People are mobile, what remains constant is location."

"As long as I sit in this position, as long as I am the master of a country, there will be countless people willing to contribute their abilities and loyalty."

"However, during this process, there were a few things that I really didn't expect. I didn't expect that Xuanyuan Mingjing would accept Tang Bandit as a disciple."

"The Grand Master is the pinnacle of martial arts and protects the safety of a country. For decades, he has only accepted one disciple, Shen Xinglan. His acceptance of the Tang bandits became the first variable in this plan."

"I didn't expect Tang Bandit's cultivation level to improve so quickly. When I first came to Xinxing, I had people test him. He is a practitioner of the air control realm, and there are a lot of them in the empire."

"Use such a person if you can. Don't just find someone to kill him. Just treat him as a casual move."

"There's a third one I can't think of."

Zhong Daolong's face turned gloomy.

He didn't say what the third unexpected thing was, but the old man, who was like a human being, knew it very well.

"I didn't expect my two sons to be so unfilial?"

Zhong Daolong shook his head slightly.

"The struggle for imperial power has been going on for thousands of years. The position under my butt is also fought for. How can I expect that my son can love each other?"

"Although I have taken many precautionary measures, and even secretly wanted to raise my second son to be a laid-back prince. However, with Zhong's blood flowing in his bones, how can I be indifferent and not fight for it?"

"They can fight, they can rob, they can do whatever it takes, and they can do whatever they want. That's what everyone does. I don't blame them."

"But... they can't be stupid."

Zhong Daolong's face, which had always been gentle and elegant, became ferocious and twisted, and he cursed angrily: "They shouldn't use such despicable means, and they shouldn't trust anyone."

"Stupidity is the original sin."

"They are not stupid." The old man smiled. Seeing Zhong Daolong in pain, he felt not particularly comfortable. "As far as I know, Zhong Tianque was taken away by Shen while participating in foreign affairs activities."

Not only that, he also didn't forget to stab his heart and lungs with a knife.

"You have been locked up here for a long time, but there is no action outside. No one attacks the door, and no one rescues you."

"Until now, the entire Phoenix Palace is as peaceful as usual. This makes our previous arrangements redundant."

"."

Zhong Daolong's chest rose and fell, and the treated wound seemed to be torn open again.

That was his son, his own flesh and blood, the prince he had trained for more than twenty years.

It can be said that from the moment he was born, I no longer focused on him.

However, when the old father was in danger, the son disappeared.

It is said that the royal family is heartless, but this is more than heartless.

This is the son poisoning the father, this is crazy.

It hurts!

Lu Yu's knife really hurts!

"As for Zhong Tianyi, if he doesn't do this risky move, does he have any other choice?"

"He is unwilling to cooperate with us and choose not to believe us. Does he have any chance?"

"Just because he is a bare prince, how can he sit in that position? How can he be in a high position?"

"High position? It's just a puppet of you people." Zhong Daolong sneered.

Of course, when he said this, his heart hurt even more.

How could his son be so stupid.

He was about to have stupidity.

"Even if it is a puppet, it is still an opportunity. Perhaps, he also thinks in his heart that in time he will punish the evil and take back the power."

"."

Zhong Daolong felt sad for his stupid son.

People know your little tricks, but still let it go, which means that these people don't care at all.

They don't believe you have the ability to sort out the officialdom and regain power.

Zhong Daolong didn't want to talk to Lu Yu about his son anymore.

He would be depressed if he continued talking.

More depressed than Lu Yu.

Zhong Daolong calmed down, looked at the old man and asked: "You hate me to the bone, this time you come here to kill me?"

"I can't kill you for the time being." The old man shook his head.

"That means you have something to ask of me. What do you want?"

"It's not a request, it's a request." The old man said sarcastically: "You are not qualified to bargain."

He still thinks he is the king?

The whole world has something to ask of you?

Zhong Daolong's eyes were filled with murderous intent, but it disappeared in an instant.

He must recognize the current situation and his own situation. Now he is just an old man who relies on his daughter's protection to survive.

He is no longer the high and mighty king.

"What do you want me to do?" Zhong Daolong asked.

"You retired early due to health reasons and chose Zhong Tianyi to inherit the throne."

"That's impossible." Zhong Daolong refused.

If he chose Zhong Tianyi to inherit the throne, then Zhong Tianque would naturally be unwilling to accept it.

The two brothers fought to the death, and in the end it was the Zhong family's kingdom that was destroyed.

He would rather sacrifice himself to ensure the legitimacy of Zhong Tianque's succession.

There can only be one king in the empire, and there can only be one orthodoxy.

That is what he had long begun to cultivate.

"Do you have any other choice?" The old man raised his mouth slightly.

This way of speaking.

So cool!

——

Phoenix House.

Tang Fei wandered outside the yard for a long time, but still didn't have the courage to knock on the door.

He didn't know how to meet Fenghuang, or in what capacity to meet her.

A young man from the old land? The son of General Tang Li?

A conspirator plotting treason? Or a boyfriend who loves her sincerely?

Round and round.

The beehive worker bees waiting at the door were dizzy.

"When a person dies, the bird will fly to the sky. If one does not die, he will live forever."

Tang Fei said to himself.

He walked to the front of the drone captain Gong Zhenhai and asked, "Is His Highness in the room?"

"Yes." Gong Zhenhai still had a wound on his arm and was wearing an electronic device for treatment: "His Highness went out and came back."

Gong Zhenhai was embarrassed to say that the princess wielded a phoenix tail whip and went out to kill, and then walked back by herself.

After all, she defeated him.

He did not stop her.

"Please ask for me and tell her that I want to see her."

"Okay." Gong Zhenhai agreed readily. He already knew that he and Tang Fei were in the same group.

"However, I can only help to pass on the message. Whether His Highness wants to see you or not is up to her to decide."

They followed Chen Fenglei's orders to surround the Phoenix House, and were also ordered not to enter, let alone disturb His Highness's normal life.

"I know." Tang Fei nodded.

If Phoenix really didn't want to see him, he would be embarrassed to force his way in.

So, Gong Zhenhai walked to the gate of the courtyard, rang the doorbell, and said to the maid standing inside the door: "Mr. Tang Fei wants to see Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Her Royal Highness said she doesn't want to see you." The maid said, and then slammed the door shut.
