One hundred and nineteen, the courage to give in
There was an old man sitting in a gorgeous garden, although he was sitting, but his invisible aura seemed taller than standing, and he looked at the mountains in the distance with deep eyes, thinking deeply about something. ⊙
He is Shen Zhongqi's father, Shen Ye's grandfather, and Shen Tiancong, the current head of the Shen family, and there is a pond with golden carp and a fishing rod at his feet.
A middle-aged man walked over, he was the future head of the Shen family, Shen Zhongqi's brother Shen Zhongtang.
He came to Shen Tiancong and stood silently for a while, and only after he threw another fish into the water did he say, "I found Shen Ye." ”
Shen Tiancong leaned sideways slightly.
"He's in Vimo, a small African country. The country is the property of Zhongqi, and Shen Ye succeeded the king of the country yesterday, holding a grand enthronement ceremony and city patrol ceremony. ”
Shen Tiancong said lightly: "Then let him come back." ”
"Not for now. This place is very good, and it is a sensitive area where we are prone to misfire with the West. He selected the strong ones by taking in the refugees, found a group of excellent instructors and equipped them with the weapons of the Liaoyuan military industry, forming an army with all the soldiers of the country. If we want to capture Shen Ye, we will definitely have to use large-scale violence, which may trigger an adverse reaction from the West. ”
Shen Tiancong put away the fishing rod and threw it to the ground, "Zhongqi is your brother, you see how capable he is, look at you again?" ”
Shen Zhongtang lowered his head, silent.
"I don't know how to give birth to two of these things. One is overly smart, and the other is stupid. None of them are worry-free. He took two puffs of his pipe. Did the other families know? ”
"I guess I know......
"Probably?"
"Uh...... Got it, definitely got it! Shen Zhongtang trembled with fright. Hurriedly said in an affirmative tone. "Shen Ye's pomp is very big, there's no reason why they don't know. However, they all understood the power of doing something in Vimo, and they were silent. ”
"Stupid! What's the stake? They're looking to see if someone else will do it first! Shen Tiancong scolded.
"Yes, yes, yes." Shen Zhongtang's head was lowered.
"My grandson......" Shen Tiancong said thoughtfully: "Shen Ye? How do the staff evaluate it? ”
"Since he escaped from the labyrinth, he has changed a lot, he is more mature, and he is a lot more alert, he has become more decisive than before, and it seems that he is more inclined to his father's side, and is not willing to follow his mother's wishes to return to the family."
"Of course, if you don't rebel, you won't be called a young man." Shen Tiancong showed a smile instead.
"Dad. Since you like Zhongqi and Shen Ye so much, why didn't you oppose them when the association wanted to hunt them down? ”
"There should be a clear distinction between public and private. After Zhongqi knew that he was the Golden Axis, we did not blame him for secretly opposing the association's practices, and also gave him the opportunity, but he himself insisted on going his own way. Shen Tiancong sighed, "This kid is just too disobedient, he thinks he can really change the world?" Think that with a little achievement, you will have a bargaining chip to compete with the association? Now I guess he's also having a hard time riding a tiger. ”
Shen Zhongtang said: "He set up an army in Mowei, and he has already indicated that he is going to fight to the death with the association, and there seems to be no room for maneuver in the matter. ”
"Then it won't be a deal. I understand. Those three old men just wanted to see what kind of attitude I had. Shen Tiancong sneered and said to Shen Zhongtang: "Just as they wish, go and buy an army and destroy Vimo." Catch Shen Ye back. ”
Shen Zhongtang opened his mouth wide, "Dad, don't you need it?" None of the others took a stand. Why should we be the first to do this? Besides, we have to pay for bypassing the association......
"That's where you're not as good as Zhongqi. I think about how to save money, but I don't know how to generate income. Shen Tiancong glared at him angrily. If I go, Shen Ye still has a way to live, can he still be saved if he really waits for others to do it? Do you think the association is really so afraid of Western conglomerates? ”
"It just doesn't make me understand. Zhongqi would not be unaware of this. He also instructed Shen Ye to become the king, isn't this a death? ”
"yes, what the hell is Zhongqi going to do?" Shen Tiancong also fell into deep thought, but immediately said: "No matter what, give some color to these disobedient father and son first, otherwise they will take themselves more and more." ”
"Understood, do you need to use the Winter Soldier?"
"No, I don't. I remember we had a small country near Egypt that was also under our control, what was it called? ”
"Chu Nan. Once upon a time, it was a training center for the family of Shikoku, and you bought her fifty years ago. ”
"Is Chu Nan enough to deal with Vimo?"
"Enough. There were 300,000 well-equipped troops there. ”
"That's it. Remember, Shen Ye, I want to live. ”
"Yes."
After Shen Zhongtang left, Shen Tiancong fell into contemplation again, "Zhongqi, what the hell do you want to do?" ”
Equally confused with Shen Tiancong was Shen Ye, who had experienced a whole day of god-like worship in Vimo, and various executives took turns to meet him, he slowly cooled down from the novelty and vanity satisfaction at the beginning, and the question came to his mind, "What is my father's intention for giving me an army?" Even if there is such an army, it is obviously not an opponent of the association, and it will only expose itself...... Maybe it's been exposed. ”
While he was thinking, Savi was still reporting to him on the state of Vimo, which was generally a military situation, and while Julie saw that he was absent-minded, she gently kicked him below.
Shen Ye came back to his senses and said, "Miss Sha Wei, I'm tired and want to rest." ”
"Then it won't get in your way, I wish you a good night." She politely bowed to Shen Ye and Zhu Liye and left.
"When you become a king, why do you seem absent-minded?" Zhu Liye said to Shen Ye.
"If you're like me, you don't think it's strange to have a man like me who can't show you miracles at every turn." Shen Ye slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip, "I don't know what's going on, anyway, what's fresh will pass after a while." ”
"You're stressing yourself too much, I know what you're worried about?" Julie patted him on the shoulder. "With such fanfare, the association will definitely get the news. You're afraid they'll come looking for trouble. ”
"Partially. The main thing is that my dad couldn't have thought of this and gave me a king. Is this not a clear idea for me to expose myself? Or am I doing things in the wrong order, and I should go to Thor Armed first? ”
"I don't know. Although your father is clever, he is not a real fairy after all. You still have to be vigilant yourself, in case a real association comes to your door, think about how to deal with it. ”
Shen Ye pondered for a while and said, "Then it's better for me to leave, otherwise the whole country will suffer." ”
"Do you really think so?"
"I'm not sure." Shen Ye pondered for a while, stood up and walked out.
"Where are you going?"
"Talk to a friend."
"Do you have friends here?"
Shen Ye shrugged, "Maybe." ”
Shen Ye left his room and came to a relatively simple room not far from him and pushed it open. Seeing Bai Kun with one hand handcuffed to a chair and the other hand picking up a bowl of fried noodles, the soldiers guarding him saw Shen Ye and immediately saluted him.
Shen Ye waved him away and left his key.
Bai Kun glanced at him and spit out the fried noodles that had been eaten in his mouth.
"I'm sorry, there's only something like this that dogs don't know about." Shen Ye sat down beside him and opened his handcuff.
Bai Kun was surprised, "You're not afraid of me running?" ”
"Surrounded by desert. The nearest populated is three days of walking away, and if you can make it through the desert in the heat of up to fifty degrees, I'll admire your ability to survive. ”
Bai Kun was deflated.
Shen Ye took out a cigarette, "Do you want one?" ”
"This kind of smoke is ...... our Bai family"
"Understood. Even the dog doesn't smoke. Shen Ye bit the cigarette into his mouth, and Bai Kun thought for a while, "Give me one." ”
Shen Ye lit it for him. He took a long breath, "What do you want to know?" ”
"Nothing. Make small talk. Shen Ye asked, "Were you born in the Bai family?" ”
"Nonsense."
"You grew up in that family, did you feel like you were different from a young age?"
Bai Kun thought for a moment. "Boring. ”
"How boring?"
"No friends." Bai Kun spread his hands, "Private teacher, personal bodyguard, private doctor...... I can have a few playmates if I want, but the ones who are respectful to me like obedient pets are not very fun. ”
"Have you ever tried what you wanted and couldn't get it?"
"Nope. Whatever you want to eat, what you want to play, where you want to go, I just have a word. But I'm so tired. Bai Kun looked at Shen Ye's expression, "I know what you want to say, rich man, you don't know how to be blessed in the midst of happiness, right?" ”
Shen Ye shook his head, "What do you do when you're bored?" ”
"Sleep. I really don't know how to solve this problem, even if it's something new, it doesn't pique my interest, but I know that if I open my mouth, it will happen. ”
"Then when did you realize that your family is far beyond the average person?"
"When I was eighteen years old, I left my family and went to a place alone, and when I got outside, I was not convenient for anything, and I was bullied. The bully I was a local bully, who was supposed to be a powerful figure in my eyes at the time, but when my family found me and pinched him to death like an ant, I knew that my family had power and wealth beyond the reach of ordinary people. ”
"I heard you have a brain problem, but I don't like you to speak."
"I'm willful, but I'm not stupid."
Shen Ye smiled, "Can the Winter Soldier Special Training make you willful?" ”
"I don't know why, I'm just upset anyway, I don't know if my personality is caused by the Winter Soldier's special training, but I don't care."
"In other words, you're not bothering me because I've offended you, it's just that you don't like anything and want to have some fun."
"You must think I'm spoiled. Actually, when I was in my twenties, my family began to teach me responsibility and mission, and I didn't know what the point of making more money was. My dad said it was for the continuation of the family's honor, but I didn't think it was that important. ”
"It seems that you are naturally rebellious. Why is Bai Qian so different from you? ”
"He's always been a good boy, and he's always been more sensible than me since he was a kid."
"You hate him? Or jealous of him? ”
Bai Kun scratched his head and sighed, "I can only say that I don't like him, but he is really good to me." Especially when you told me that he would actually kneel for me - he was actually quite an arrogant man. ”
"Why don't you leave the clan and choose your own path?"
"What to choose? Like you? Bai Kun glanced at him with disdain, "You think you're a hero who fights against the powerful?" You're just a fool who can't do anything about yourself, both father and son. ”
"So what do you think I should do?"
"Why do you ask me, we are enemies."
"That's why your words matter. I take your word for it, the consequences are either excellent or bad, and both are good choices for me. ”
"Then you can surrender to the association, no matter what, the Shen family will protect you, you can at least live. You follow in your dad's footsteps, and the result can only be a tragedy. ”
"I didn't mean to follow him, but I had to at least figure out what he wanted to do."
"What for?" Bai Kun sneered, "He's just a megalomaniac, if he either wants to get rid of the family's responsibilities, or he wants to become the fifth big family on his own, just like Dakoala." ”
"What about you? Haven't you ever thought of a different way of living? ”
"Do you think that everyone is as fond of asking for hardships as your father and son?"
Shen Ye was silent, he nodded lightly, "Sometimes...... It takes courage to give in, doesn't it? ”
Bai Kun said: "Don't talk about yourself so bravely, you don't call submission, you have no choice, I'm sure everyone in the association is already on the way to deal with you, do you think you can escape?" If you lead an army to resist, you will only end up with the people of this country to bury you. ”
"You're right. But I'm a little unwilling. Shen Ye smiled, "Did you say that the association knew that you were in my hands?" If I used you as a bargaining chip, wouldn't it make things a little better? ”
"Don't dream. You yourself are also a member of the Shen family, have they opened up to you because of this? Bai Kun's voice revealed a hint of regret, "I have known since I was a child that the interests of the association are above everything else, including our lives, and family affection must give way to interests here, which is the reason why the four major families have existed for a long time." ”
"But there will always be a few people with a human touch, such as your brother, didn't he help you intercede when you broke the rules last time?"
That's because he's not a parent yet, and one day, he'll become a disown. No one can resist the temptation of family power. ”
"My father seems to be able to."
"I'd rather believe that he wants to pursue greater power."
Shen Ye was thoughtful, and suddenly the two of them heard an alarm outside, and the guards quickly came in to report, "Your Majesty, there is an aircraft of unknown origin intruding into the sky over our country. ”
Shen Ye and Bai Kun glanced at each other, and Shen Ye stood up, "It's finally here." He said to the soldier, "Give him some food and water, and get him out of here safely." ”
Bai Kun was even more surprised, "Shen Ye, don't please and behave, I won't accept your affection." ”
"Then you're going to poison your food." After Shen Ye finished speaking, he left Bai Kun's cell. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
