Chapter 126 - 126: The Terror of Shifting Stars (8000 Thanks to the Non-existent Reader No. o for the tip)
Now it seemed that he was only at Level Seven. Even if he was facing those Level Seven assassins just now, he could easily kill them.
Of course, Liu Xu was full of praise for Xu Bai. Yun Zihai agreed with her words.
This young man was even more outstanding than some of the older martial artists. Whether it was his personality or strength, they were all extraordinary.
They had to be on good terms.
Not only for this mission, but also for the future.
Thinking of this, Yun Zihai explained everything that had happened.
“It’s like this…”
Suddenly, Yun Zihai’s voice sounded in the room.
After Yun Zihai finished speaking, Xu Bai leaned back in his chair and supported his chin with his hand. His brows were tightly furrowed.
It was not simple.
According to Yun Zihai, the reason why the Eighth Prince died was not because he killed Yun Zihai’s family, but because he colluded with the evil cult.
In the Great Chu Country, evil beings were the targets of attack. They were the same as those strange demons.
The so-called heretics were those people who caused trouble.
For example, the Underworld Blacksmith couple that he had first met, although they were bandits, they were also classified as a type of evil.
There were even some demons in the evil path that the Eighth Prince had colluded with. That was even more dangerous.
This was like a stacked state. When the two of them combined, there was no other way except death.
Coincidentally, at that time, Yun Zihai’s family was also kidnapped and even died in the hands of the Eighth Prince. Then, Yun Zihai revealed the fact that he had killed the Eighth Prince and pretended to be punished to come to Sheng County.
“Before the eighth prince died, he burned a letter.’”‘ I don’t know anything,” Yun Zihai said.” I don’t know the contents of the letter, but His Majesty released the news and made many people think that I know the contents. You know why I was assassinated. ‘”‘
Xu Bai nodded and said,” If a person makes fewer moves, he will reveal fewer flaws. However, the more moves he makes, the more flaws he will reveal. You guys are trying to dig out the things behind him.””
Yun Zihai admitted without hesitation. In fact, there was nothing to hide. Since they had already decided to cooperate, that was naturally the case.
“You used yourself as bait just for two books and an official position. Is it worth it?”Xu Bai said with interest.
Who was the bait, of course, was Yun Zihai, and who was the fisher, was naturally the high and mighty emperor in the capital.
As long as there was a secret in the destroyed letter that could not be known by others, they would definitely be able to catch a fish.
“I did it for the sake of being an official, but it’s not all for the sake of being an official. Brother Xu, do you know that although Great Chu is still relatively stable now, there are hidden waves within? Most of the people are living in poverty, just like this Sheng County. “Yun Zihai came to the window and pointed at the dark night outside.
‘ On the surface, the streets are bustling, but I know better than anyone else what kind of life most people are living in secret. Even the prosperous county I live in can’t ensure that every household can eat their fill.”
“If I can be an official of a county, I can protect the peace of a county. If I can be an official of a prefecture, I can protect the peace of a prefecture.”
“The funny thing is that the current Imperial Family is scheming against each other. Who can care about the lives of the people? I’m weak, so I’ll do my best.” At this point, Yun Zihai turned around and his tone became excited.
“Before I agreed, His Majesty told me that my essay had the potential to shock the world. If I could complete this task, he would give me the right. Other than His Majesty, even the royal family had no right to interfere with me.” The room fell into silence, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
After hearing Yun Zihai’s words, Xu Bai felt that there was still a huge difference between Yun Zihai and Liu Xu.
Liu Xu had a strong sense of justice, but once she encountered something unfair, she would resort to violence. For example, Xiao Yue’s matter.
However, Yun Zihai was different. What Yun Zihai sought was a peaceful and prosperous world where everyone had enough to eat and warm up. However, he knew very well that with his own ability, he was far from this standard.
Even human strength had its limits, let alone in this world.
Therefore, he set a small goal in his heart. At the very least, he had to achieve it within his jurisdiction.
In this plan, the Emperor was actually the smartest.
Not only did he let Yun Zihai be the bait, but he could also get a talent.
As for the authority he mentioned, to be honest, it was just a matter of the Emperor’s word to release or take it back. There was no need for any process at all.
He gave Yun Zihai the authority, but if he had any thoughts, he could take it back at any time. It was very simple, just like eating and drinking.
Was Yun Zihai aware of this?
Of course, he was very clear.
However, what he lacked was such an opportunity. Even if he knew that the Emperor could take it back at any time, he would still take this opportunity.
“Tell me, how do you want me to help you?”Xu Bai said.
He had already roughly understood what had happened. Now, he just needed to Imow how to proceed. It was better to ask clearly first.
Yun Zihai scratched his head and put on a troubled expression.”Brother Xu, to tell you the truth, I don’t know how to help either. This is just a temporary idea I came up with.”
What he said was the truth. After witnessing Xu Bai’s strength tonight, he had this idea. Originally, he did not intend to drag Xu Bai down..
