Chapter Twenty-Eight: Deterrence
The two came to the hugging mansion of Mingshuyuan, where Tu Lichun and Chen Bing were waiting, and when they saw Li Ze coming in, they both stood up.
"Bring him in!" Li Ze sat on a rattan chair in the center, and Xia Heting stood behind him.
Chen Cheng strode out, and after a while, there was a sound of tuk tuk outside, and what Chen Bing brought in turned out to be a young man on crutches. His face was pale and bloodless, and there was a little blood stained on the placket.
Li Ze frowned.
Chen Bing hurriedly explained: "Childe, I didn't expect Miss Xia to come over, otherwise I would have picked up this kid." He looked up at Xia He and smiled apologetically.
Xia He shook her head silently, although she was a little shocked, but it was not enough to scare her.
This young man is none other than the fox twelve, which Chen Ze brought out of the secret camp. He was beaten dozens of boards in front of hundreds of people in the secret camp, and then he was taken away by Chen Bing, for the people who came from the secret camp, this person was naturally dead.
Seeing Li Ze sitting in the center of the room, a trace of blush appeared on Fox Twelve's pale face, and his eyes showed excitement, he threw his crutches, limped to Li Ze, and knelt on the ground, "Fox Twelve has seen Childe."
Li Ze's cold eyes swept over Fox Twelve, and said coldly, "You look happy?"
Fox Twelve swallowed a mouthful of saliva, supported the ground with both hands, and looked up at Li Ze: "It's really because I am excited to see Gongzi again."
Hehe! Li Zegan laughed a few times.
"You're really smart, at least in the secret camp, you're the smartest I've ever seen besides Yan Jiu. However, Yan Jiu's cleverness is different from yours, Yan Jiu has used his cleverness in medical skills, and you have used his cleverness elsewhere."
Fox Twelve opened his mouth, as if he wanted to justify, Li Ze didn't let him speak, and continued: "Let me guess your thoughts, in the secret camp, you were punished in public, at that time, you must have been very resentful in your heart, because you haven't realized what you did wrong at all, haven't you?"
The fox twelve's eyes flashed, but looking at Li Ze's indifferent eyes without the slightest emotion, he finally lowered his head.
"Yes!"
Li Ze did guess his mind.
"Being punished in public and being expelled from the secret camp must be heartbroken, with your cleverness, of course, you will guess that the secret camp cannot be known to outsiders, and being expelled means death. But the result is a big surprise to you, you were taken to this village, and you didn't die, so you know that your chance has come."
Fox Twelve's body trembled slightly.
"You took a risk, and when it looked like you had failed, you turned around, and now it looks like you've succeeded, so you're very happy, you're excited, and the moment you see me, your joy is palpable, and you feel like you've taken a turn in your life."
"Childe Mingjian, the villain really just wants to work for Childe." Fox Twelve cried out in grief.
Li Ze laughed lightly: "This, I don't deny, you do have this mind. In the secret camp, among the combat squads, with your ability, you will never be able to compare to Jiaoyi Longyi and Yanyi, and even your captain Huyi, you have no chance to catch up, where, you will only become a small soldier who charges ahead, if you transfer to those logistics squads, you are unwilling, because if you go to those squads, it will be more difficult to get ahead. You boast of being brilliant and intelligent, and naturally you are not willing to be subservient to others."
Cold sweat was already pouring down Fox Twelve's face.
"But how do you get ahead? First of all, it naturally attracted my attention, let me know that there is such a person as you, otherwise there are hundreds of people in the secret camp, and among those who are outstanding in all aspects, there is no you, so you can only use cunning, take advantage of the trust of Hu Yi and Hu Ba, and successfully use them as your stepping stones. Well, it's still nice to be able to do this in the Heart Moon Fox, you know? Among the Xinyue Foxes, there were really a lot of people who pleaded with Uncle Tu at that time, you mixed well!"
"Childe, I know it's wrong." Fox Twelve raised his head and looked at Li Ze pleadingly, when Li Ze peeled off his shell layer by layer, he only felt that his current self was like being stripped of all his clothes in the ice and snow world, and he was naked to accept the cold wind and ice and snow, from the inside out, it was extremely cold.
Li Ze closed his mouth and quietly looked at Fox Twelve, Tu Lichun, Chen Bing, and Xia He didn't speak, and only Fox Twelve's low sobbing sound could be heard in the room.
After a long time, Li Zecai said: "Very good, just now I gave you a total of three chances to defend yourself, you can see that you want to defend yourself, but you finally gave up, which makes me very happy, you know?" If you had seized one of these three opportunities, you would have been a dead man by now."
Fox Twelve's eyes widened suddenly, and the look of horror on his face couldn't be concealed, so even the other three people around Li Ze opened their mouths in surprise.
Li Ze stood up, paced back and forth in the room for a few steps, and stood in front of Fox Twelve, "It's good for a person to have an upward mind, and in order to seize the opportunity, it's understandable to use some means. If you want to go to the clouds to see the scenery above, you must climb a big tree to have a chance, otherwise, he will always be paralyzed on the ground, even if it grows more and more luxuriant, it will only be trampled by others. I would never dispose of someone because of this, which is why I am willing to give you a chance. Fox Twelve, you can now be sure that you really survived."
"Thank you, thank you, Childe." The fox twelve sweated profusely, kowtowed again and again, on his forehead, and in an instant, there was blood mottled, Xia He couldn't bear to see it, and couldn't help but turn his head away.
"Fox Twelve, you firmly remember, in this world, there are many clever and talented people, without you, there will be other people pouring out, this world, no matter who is missing, there will not be too much change, so, never because of their own cleverness to play with people's hearts, because such a thing, can succeed for a while, but can not succeed for a lifetime, now, at least I know that the fox and the fox will no longer treat you as a brother, is a friend, you have lost the friendship you once got forever. You regret it now." Li Ze asked.
Fox Twelve swallowed a mouthful of saliva and lowered his head to look at the blood dripping from the ground: "The villain doesn't regret it."
As soon as these words came out, except for Li Ze, the faces of the other people in the room showed a look of consternation, and Xia He even glanced at Li Ze with some concern.
"Because although I lost their friendship, I was able to come to Childe's side to serve Childe, and they didn't recognize me, as long as I still recognized them in my heart. I believe that I will repay them in the future." Fox Twelve.
"It seems that everything you do is seriously considered cost-effective!" Li Ze was a little lonely, in his previous life, wasn't he such a person, he suddenly became a little excited.
"Fox Twelve, today, I want to tell you the most important thing, you had better remember it firmly, remember it for a lifetime, treat the enemy, we must be as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, no matter what conspiracy and tricks, it is okay to use it, but to your brother, you must have a pure heart, betrayal, not once."
"The villain remembered."
"You are no longer surnamed Fox, for the time being, you will be called Twelve, whether you can have a surname in the future, it depends on your performance." Li Ze said: "Just follow me for the time being."
"Twelve, thank you son, twelve must be the only son in this life, go to the soup and go to the fire, at any cost."
"Write down everything before you entered the secret camp, and Tu Er Ye will check it one by one, twelve, you remember, as long as you lie once, there will be no future. There will not be a servant left by my side who hides anything from his master."
