Chapter 409: The Republic
"Original...... Ahem..... So this is the anti-block? ”
Xu Wuji's voice slowly decreased, "No one has practiced this trick for a long time, I didn't expect it..... I didn't expect ..........."
Wang Hu said for him: "I didn't expect you to die under this trick?" ”
“..... Not bad. ”
Wang Hu said: "Do you have anything else to say?" ”
"Ahem...... Your Majesty's Divine Power....... Ten times better than me........"
Wang Hu sneered, "I have also seen Chen Tao's ability, a hundred years ago, it was just the level of miscellaneous fish, and he dared to claim to surpass Taizu and the Second Emperor?" ”
The brilliance in Xu Wuji's eyes gradually dimmed, "It's a pity ....."
Wang Hu stopped talking, stepped forward, waved the sharp blade in his hand, and cut off Xu Wuji's head. He rested for a while, took the bullets out of his body, then picked up his weapon and ammunition and ran up the stairs. After fighting for so long, he suffered a lot of injuries and shed a lot of blood, but his strength and reaction speed have improved a little.
"Sure enough, only in a bloody battle is the only way to become stronger quickly!"
Wang Hu no longer participated in the fight between the Xiliang Dragoons and the Tooth Soldiers, he chose a hidden path, bypassed the heavy guards, and appeared at the very top of the Tower of Babel. It's not as beautiful as the Sky Gardens on the lower floor, and at the very top, there is only the scorching sun and the frequent winds.
He kicked open an iron door and rushed out, immediately alerting the twelve tooth soldiers, "What people? ”
Wang Hu didn't answer, and killed all the enemies like chopping melons and vegetables. Although these tooth soldiers are extraordinary, how can they be his opponents? The guns roared, the neighing and shouting, and finally calmed down. During this period, Chen Tao did not get up, still sitting on a sandalwood bench, holding a wine glass, with a strange smile on his face.
Seeing that Wang Hu had killed all his subordinates, Chen Tao drank all the wine in the cup, and then threw the cup down from a height of more than 100 zhang. He clapped his palms happily, and seemed to be very happy, "I knew that the person who could kill this stargazing platform would definitely be someone with the same bloodline as me, the head of the sect, we haven't seen each other for 20 years, and your appearance hasn't changed at all!" ”
"Hey, I'm dying, but before then, you'll be dead too!"
Wang Hu picked up his rifle, pointed at Chen Tao's eyebrows, and pulled the trigger, "Smack!" ”
Bullets flew out, scanting through the afterimage left behind, sending sawdust flying the chairs. The strong wind on the left side was blowing, Wang Hu threw away the rifle without thinking, turned around and punched out. Who knew that when Chen Tao rushed to the front, he turned over and jumped behind Wang Hu.
In mid-air, Chen Tao had already kicked backwards and hit Wang Hu's back shoulder. After landing on the ground, his body squatted slightly, and he kicked Wang Hu's joint again. These two tricks are not heavy, they just account for the four words of surprise. The balance of Wang Hu's body was disrupted, and there was another pain in his back, and the colossal gravity bombarded his back, blasting him away.
This punch was so painful that it almost broke Wang Hu's spine. Almost, that's not yet.
Wang Hu smashed on the expensive stargazing equipment, and the lenses that had taken countless painstaking efforts to grind by hand fell to the ground with him, shattering. Chen Tao didn't pursue, but looked at the glass shards on the ground with some pity, shook his head and said: "It's a pity, it's a pity, this took Cai Yong more than three years to grind, and it was knocked over like this." And Cai Yong is already dead, and it is estimated that he will not be able to make such a good lens for a long time in the future. ”
"Smack!"
Wang Hu jumped up from the ground, and the two revolverss in his hands were already pointing at Chen Tao. He sneered: "After killing you, people in the world will have time to sharpen their lenses." ”
Chen Tao couldn't help laughing when he saw Wang Hu put on a pistol again, and said, "I have also practiced hard qigong, and I want to kill me with these two revolvers?" Does the head coach think this is possible? ”
"Who knows?" Wang Hu said coldly: "If a person is killed, he will die!" ”
"Oh, it's Taizu's quotation?" Chen Tao said leisurely; "I also memorized these things when I was a child, and people like us, if they have seen anything, they can always remember it if they want to. Compared to the mortals below, we are simply two creatures.
Look at them, look at us. If they are human beings, then we are the gods who walk on the human world. If we're human, they're just ants. ”
Wang Hu sneered: "Then do you still remember the two sentences 'water can carry a boat, or it can overturn a boat'?" ”
Chen Tao laughed, "The newspapers in the south often say these two sentences, but they often bark like wild dogs because they can't exploit the people happily." Most of the people in this world are despicable and shameless, and they need to be whipped with a whip before they can know how to be in awe.
Emperor Taizu said a lot of things, but what I liked the most was not what you said, but these two ........"
He raised the index finger of his right hand and chanted; "Blood collapses and life and death, the strong wins!"
Before the voice fell, the person had already rushed over like a strong wind, Wang Hu retreated and shot at the same time, "Bang!" Syllable! Syllable! In the midst of the pomp, bullets poured in front of him. Chen Tao dodged left and right, dodging the first few bullets, and then simply ignored it, and blasted at his face with a punch.
Wang Hu ran out of bullets, let go of his hands, and was about to draw his dagger when he felt a sharp pain in his jaw. Suffering such a heavy blow, the brain suddenly fell into vertigo. A fraction of a second later, when he came to his senses, the man was already rapidly falling downward.
He slid down, and below was the thick earth, but he had just been blasted out of the observatory with a punch. Wang Hu broke out in a cold sweat, his body flipped in the air, and he reached out and grabbed the edge of the Tower of Babel. He was about to climb up hard, and Chen Tao had already walked over.
Looking at Wang Hu's embarrassed appearance, Chen Tao laughed, "Although the head of the head coach has good martial arts, he is still far worse than me. ”
Wang Hu gritted his teeth and said nothing.
"Hey, in fact, there was not such a big gap in martial arts between you and me, but do you know why you yourself were defeated?"
“..........”
Chen Tao stood on the edge of the Tower of Babel, letting the wind blow the clothes on his body, he opened his arms, as if to embrace the whole world, "As an emperor, I have the purest divine blood flowing from my body, I don't need to practice diligently, I can naturally become stronger." As long as everyone in the world knows my reputation, I can become stronger.
At the time of Emperor Taizu, there were less than 10,000 people in China, and now there are only 40,000 people in China, but I have launched so many wars, whether it is for me or against me, everyone in the world will hear my name every day, so my strength can soar to the sky and become incomparably powerful! ”
He stretched out his hand and pointed to a few bullet marks on his chest and laughed, "See? Pistol bullets can't break the defense at all! To tell you the truth, I don't have to dodge at all, I just stand there and let you fight, and I can't be killed with a few broken guns. ”
“............”
Seeing Wang Hu's reaction, Chen Tao couldn't help but feel a little bored, he shook his head and sighed: "I just don't understand with you people." Forget it, this world, I'll leave it to you to play in the future. ”
With that, he turned and prepared to leave.
"Wait!"
"Huh?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Didn't I already say that this world is left to you, and the place I want to go is there! Grandfather said he left all his treasures in the sea of stars. Chen Tao stretched out his hand and pointed to the top of his head, "But those guys from the Academy of Sciences told me that it would be difficult to do something like that in two or three hundred years. I'm tired of playing with this earth, so I'll leave it to you guys. It's a pity, if you can really be born thirty years early, you can ask Emperor Taizu for advice, there is really nothing to say to you ants! ”
"Damn, you still dare to mention Emperor Taizu? Look at Luoyang City down here! It's all in ruins! ”
Chen Tao laughed, "You guys, as well as those people from the Truth Cult, will be called the emperor, but do you really understand what the emperor is thinking?" Do you really know what he's after? My grandfather once told me that he never wanted to be an emperor, and that he was put on the throne by those below. And later, he was already planning to cancel the Knights, the Legion, and the Tooth Soldiers. ”
Looking at Wang Hu's shocked eyes, Chen Tao said with interest: "You think that I have broken the country, but you don't know that the country has long been broken." When my father was here, in order to rein in the power, the generals were allowed to behave indiscriminately, and the princes who supported their own troops in various places had already completely destroyed the laws formulated by their grandfather. Do you think I broke the Labor Code? Actually, I'm just acknowledging reality.
Oh, you've been in Xiliang, and you may not know what is going on in the south. Yangzhou has long regarded the law as nothing. When my grandfather was there, he forbade the spread of Shinrikyo in his own land, and he repeatedly declared that he was not a god. But after he left, you men offered him up. Speaking of which, what I did was the most in line with my grandfather's intentions. ”
"Nonsense!" Wang Hu gritted his teeth and said: "The emperor will never let you toss around like this and make a huge country fall apart. You blame everything on the head of the emperor and the emperor, don't you yourself have the slightest fault? ”
"Hmph, Chief Sect Leader, I'm going to call you uncle, but now it looks like you're just a fool." Chen Tao looked at Luoyang City in the distance and said, "How can there be anything in this world that will last forever? Luoyang City was destroyed, and it was rebuilt. Yes, most of the fault lies with me.
But so what? People like us are inherently different from mortals. If you say that the emperor is the only god in the world, then we are the children of God. But do you know what the descendants of the emperors, the sons of the gods, are doing everywhere? Hmph, you don't know anything, you're just a fool who doesn't know how to adapt something from a hundred years ago! ”
After finishing speaking, Chen Tao no longer paid attention to Wang Hu, turned around and walked away. When Xiliang Dragoon killed the tooth soldiers, walked through the hanging garden, and came to the stargazing platform, he only saw Wang Hu standing silently among a pile of corpses.
"Grand Master, where is the puppet emperor?"
Wang Hu raised his head, the confusion in his eyes disappeared, and he said in a deep voice: "The puppet emperor has fallen from the Tower of Babel and has fallen to pieces!" ”
"Huh?"
"It's a pity!"
It's not that no one suspects that there is a problem, but since the Grand Master has said so, and has never heard of the Puppet Emperor again, then everyone has no choice but to assume that the Puppet Emperor was really knocked down from the stargazing platform and fell to pieces. Now that the emperor was dead, the fighting soon stopped, and most of the army stopped resisting, but there was still a group of people who were unwilling to give in and still regarded the Xiliang army as a rebel.
The remnants of more than 10,000 tooth soldiers fled Luoyang with several of Chen Tao's sons and daughters, grabbed the train, and ran all the way to Qingdao, where they joined the fleet still loyal to the emperor, and then fled to Australia, which had been used exclusively for the exile of prisoners.
Over the next three or four years, many of the royal family's supporters left the Old Roads by boat and went to the New World to join the Emperor's son. The new government turned a blind eye to such a thing, wishing that all these potential evils had been cleared.
After killing the puppet emperor, Wang Hu's reputation rose and he became a member of the world. Some subordinates asked him to ascend the throne and become emperor, but Wang Hu refused, he said to everyone: "Although I am the son of Emperor Taizu, my surname is Wang, not Chen, if you want the emperor, you should go to someone else." Aren't Chen Tao's sons in Australia? If you like, you can invite them back. ”
How can this be? They killed Chen Tao, and then let Chen Tao's son come back as emperor? Aren't you afraid that your whole family will be killed in the future? After many days of quarrelling, many candidates for the emperor were proposed, but there were always more opponents than supporters. And there is one of the biggest problems, the Xiliang army has contributed the most in this war to overthrow the puppet emperor, no matter who becomes the emperor, they have to face the huge Xiliang army.
Xiliang Dragoon has belonged to the Shinrikyo cult, but the Shinrikyo has always been the target of suppression in the empire, and how to deal with this is also a thorny issue.
In the end, Wang Hu felt impatient, so he said to everyone: "Then just use the system of the republic, isn't the republic over there in Tianzhu very good?" That's it! ”
The people deliberated for a while, and reluctantly agreed to the proposal. In the decades that followed, descendants of the emperor continued to declare their claim to Luoyang, but none of this had anything to do with Wang Hu. He returned to Yinchuan with his troops and spent the rest of his life in the place where he grew up for the rest of his life.
