Surprise Hotel
Chapter 102 A Smarter Way
The city-state was attacked and the former monarch was violently killed. All these changes were a fatal blow to the residents of the wolf-greedy camp.
Fortunately, there was a savior in time.Under the leadership of the "Waste Hunter", the faction team successfully annihilated the invaders.
Hou Cang, the initiator of all this, was captured by Zhao Jiuzhou and carried to the city square to show the public.
Zhao Jiuzhou did not kill him on the spot, because a qualified senior must let his people understand the root of the problem, otherwise, once others regard them as rebellious, the problem will be serious.
When Grand Duke DuPont was still alive, a crime-telling rule prevailed in the city-states.The offender must state his crime under the stone tablet in the city square before executing the sentence.
Speaking of sin is not the same as confession. Criminals may not always have a heart of remorse, but DuPont's meaning is that they hope they can know themselves.At the same time, let the people hear his crimes from the criminals' mouths so that they can feel the faces of the criminals up close.
Finally, cut it off again to warn the world.
Before doing it, Zhao Jiuzhou asked Hou Cang a question, "Why do you want to do this?"
"Hate." Hou Cang replied gritted his teeth.
"This is probably only part of it." Zhao Jiuzhou frowned. "If it is pure hatred, then you only need to target him alone. Why bother to destroy the entire city-state? Isn't your goal to win power in such a way?"
"That's because I have seen those in power, but so. Lonely and arrogant, it is total indulgence, arrogance and prostitution, although he is a monarch, he is not a god, he is also a layman. My family died of his will, I love The woman died of his sensuality. Why can't I replace such a person!"
"But have you ever thought about the feelings of the people, how many people have been destroyed by this battle? What is the difference between you and DuPont, who is determined to do it?" Zhao Jiuzhou stared into his eyes and said, "Also, to break the army camp. Do you think they will really let you sit on the throne? As long as someone opens this door for them, they will take away the whole faction, even you. You think this is cooperation, actually Going up is nothing but making others' pawns!"
"I don't regret it!" Hou Cang said loudly, "Don't you hate being suppressed all day? I have seen dissatisfaction in your eyes a long time ago. I wanted to get you into the group, but I can't trust anyone. Because taller is destined to be lonely, and a throne can't fit two people. Now that you have failed, you are still the loyal commander, huh."
At the end, Hou Cang smiled bitterly.
Zhao Jiuzhou suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, whispered in his ear, "Who says I am loyal, how do you know that I am not ill-intentioned?"
The expression on Hou Cang's face suddenly became gloomy, his voice choked in his throat, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
"I just used a smarter method." Zhao Jiuzhou raised his head, his eyes fell on the giant mecha not far away, "Duke DuPont is dead. It is mine who obtained the ring of the monarch. ."
"Your people?" Hou Cang laughed again, his face uncertain, "but you know what it means to get the ring of the monarch, it means that he will ascend the position of the monarch and become the ruler of this city. He is not Your people, he will control you in turn. You are just making wedding clothes for others, don't be smart, your ending will be the same as mine!"
"No, our position is different." Zhao Jiuzhou said, "You are on the throne to gain power to satisfy your desires, and we are for more people."
Hou Cang's eyes became complicated, and he obviously couldn't understand the meaning of Zhao Jiuzhou's dialect.
In this era when food and clothing are a problem, there are people who say something about the righteousness of the world. He thinks this is ridiculous.It is the correct law of nature to die for human money and die for food.
The Tao is different, so you can't talk too much.
Zhao Jiuzhou regretfully shook his head, raised the ion gun, and aimed at Hou Cang's forehead, "That's it, it's time to go on the road. There is no room for careerists on the pure land."
The gunshot sounded and the figure fell to the ground.
There was a groan from the onlookers.
At the moment when he put away the gun, Zhao Jiuzhou's sight fell on the giant mecha not far away, and the words before Hou Cang's death suddenly echoed in his mind.
"But you know what it means to get the ring of the monarch, it means that he will ascend the seat of the monarch and become the ruler of this city. He is not yours, he will control you in turn. You are just marrying others. No more clothes, don’t be smart..."
This sentence is like a drumstick, repeatedly beating Zhao Jiuzhou's heartstrings.
There was a trace of fear in his heart.
You know, there is a small bomb in his body, and the remote control that detonates the bomb is in Lu Xing's hand.At this time, as long as Lu Xing had a trace of selfishness, his fate would not be any better than Hou Cang.
After hesitating, he finally boarded the "Cruising Blade", turned on the communication system of the mecha, and called the "Waste Hunter".
Two seconds later, the communication was connected and Lu Xing responded.
"Have you solved it?"
"It's solved, Hou Cang and his comrades have been handed over." Zhao Jiuzhou replied, "Yuanze is clearing the battlefield, and the remaining work is to rebuild his home... By the way, how does it feel to be in power? ?"
The last sentence is a deliberate temptation.
"Aloft, this feeling is really unique." Lu Xing replied.
Zhao Jiuzhou's heartstrings tightened, "Duke DuPont passed you the position of the monarch before his death, then you are the ruler of this city-state. Now, what do you want most?"
This sentence is another temptation.
Human nature has both yin and yang sides. A person is kind, perhaps because he can't reach such a high position, so he is content with the status quo, but once he has power, he may change his previous appearance and breed a dark side.
"What I want most is to repair it as soon as possible. But the city-state is still not big enough. Our territory needs to expand further, build more buildings, and let more people live in." Lu Xing's answer made Zhao Jiuzhou feel a little bit. accident.
"Then you have to plan well..."
"Building materials are also a problem. We need stone and cement, and steel. There should be factories in the camp, so we need to find more mineral sources..." Lu Xing was actually thinking about this matter seriously. After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly remembered After another incident, he asked Zhao Jiuzhou, "Will you feel very unbalanced because I sit in this position?"
"I have a rebellious heart because I am unhappy with the previous system. If you can change all of this, I am willing to be a minister of your Highness. If you have selfishness, I will rebel." Zhao Jiuzhou answered truthfully.
"Are you not afraid that I will kill you now? In history, there are not a few people who have made meritorious deeds to kill heroes." Lu Xing deliberately pretended to be.
"If you really want to kill, you would have pressed the detonator long ago. In the cruel wasteland era, killing a person doesn't need to talk so much, nor does it need to give the other person a decent reason."
