The scene shifts to the city of Beijing, the private residence of Li Zicheng, the speaker of the National Assembly.

At this moment, in his house, an uninvited guest came. In fact, according to the regulations of the Ming Empire, the person who came can actually be regarded as Li Zicheng's subordinate, after all, he is subordinate to the subordinate organs of the Congress. But in some cases, this body has relatively independent executive powers.

The name of this agency is the Intelligence Bureau, and the visitor is the director of the Intelligence Bureau, Li Luo.

Li Luo has long lost the frivolity and fanaticism of his youth, and has been steady and mature. He is in a high position, and there are more things to consider, and he does not have the freewheeling happiness of the Jinyi Wei Hundred Households and Thousands of Households, but he needs to look forward and backward every step he takes. However, this may be the helplessness of those in high positions.

"May I ask the distinguished speaker, what do you mean by that thing you did in private?" Li Luo felt that he was very angry, the first time he was so angry since he took the position.

"Obviously, this is a thing that is very beneficial to the Ming Empire or to me, isn't it?" Li Zicheng seemed to know what Li Luo was going to ask, but in fact, it was worth his disrespectful coming over and asking questions, and it could only be that thing.

"Don't you realize what kind of impact that incident will have on my Ming Empire?" Li Luo slapped the table, he was so out of shape for the first time.

"Let's not talk about how much benefit we will get if the thing succeeds, even if it fails, as long as Zhang Cai is still in our hands, do you think the other party has no scruples at all? He was stupid enough to let such a young child go overseas and not give him enough protection. Does he think that it is a foreign land that we have not set foot in, so there is no need to worry about attacks from the mainland? Li Zicheng replied very calmly.

"He's an emperor!" Li Luo gritted his teeth.

"But he is also a father, and according to my research, he dotes on his children beyond your imagination." Li Zicheng shrugged.

"That's why I'm worried that if something happens to Zhang Cai, please ask for it...... What kind of revenge will he take on us? "Li Luo really has a headache.

"The premise is that something happened to Zhang Cai, right? As long as the person 'Zhang Cai' is fine, then there should be no problem, right? But if you do this, you have to do it as much as you want...... Even if he himself is no longer in this world. Li Zicheng smiled gloomily.

"I don't want you to play with fire, if you are not careful, you will let the Ming Empire directly bear the all-out war from the Republic." Li Luo finally admonished.

"The Ming Empire has been developing for so long, with the financial support of my Dashun, don't you have the ability to fight a war?" Li Zicheng smiled.

"I'm sorry, I can't really calculate our odds...... The reason why the other party did not attack was only out of a kind of sympathy for the Chinese compatriots...... If he is made angry to the extreme, he will attack recklessly...... The odds are slim. Li Luo sighed.

"So, he's just a mere mortal, and you're just an intelligence chief. If you want to become a person in the world, you must first have the determination to live up to the people of the world! Peace of mind, his mercy is his death. The way to deal with him is not without ......" Li Zicheng smiled very complacently.

"I think you're probably crazy......" Li Luo seemed to think of something bad.

"If you can have the ability to fight, I won't be crazy...... But if we get to that point, if we don't go crazy, can we defeat him? Li Zicheng looked at Li Luo, looked up at the ceiling again, and said something that I don't know if it was to sue Li Luo or sue sù himself.

Li Luo knew that this person was really a madman, or rather, he was the real hero.

Is merging really a good thing? For the first time, Li Luo doubted his decision.

The scene shifted to the desert of Western Australia.

It has been more than two days since he was kidnapped, and during this time, Zhang Cai has only eaten breakfast and lunch, and the water has also been drunk in the oasis a few sips when he left. In order to avoid the search of the dead, he buried himself in the shallow ground, of course, with the help of a stone pile at that time, so that at least his head was not completely buried in the ground, so that he accidentally suffocated to death or something.

After being buried in the ground for more than a day, not to mention being hungry and thirsty, the heat during the day was also a very fatal thing, but fortunately, the soil blocked some of the heat for him, so that at least he was not sunburned.

After leaving, he used the sun's positioning, finally determined the southeast, and then ran in that direction as soon as possible.

Time, three hours passed, but in front of him, not only was there no human civilization, but also no water source. As a prince, he realized for the first time that under the laws of heaven and earth, all people were actually equal. Even if he is a dignified prince, under the torture of nature, there is no room for resistance.

It's just two hours of running, even if Zhang Cai's genes are good, and the training is good, but after a day of hunger and lack of water, he began to feel dizzy in his brain. The only thing to be thankful for is that it has begun to enter the night and the temperature is not high, but how to walk correctly to the southeast at night is a problem.

Zhang Cai has not been affected by much radiation, coupled with the relationship of adequate nutrition, he can see very clearly at night, which is his biggest advantage at this stage.

In fact, he has another advantage, that is, there are three solid water in the bag around his waist. This is what he prepared for himself in order to prevent him from being able to hydrate quickly when he has to go out often, but he didn't expect to use it in this situation.

Anyway, there's no need to worry about drinking water. However, it must be noted that these three solid grains of water represent the amount of three liters of water, and in the desert, even if he is only a teenager, he has to drink about one liter of water a day. Therefore, he must find human civilization within three days, at least find enough water, otherwise he will still die of thirst.

It's just that he's currently faced with two difficult choices: move on, or sleep here for the night.

Zhang Cai is still a little younger, and he knows a lot of theoretical knowledge, but he doesn't have much practical experience. Serving as the king of Yue has indeed allowed him to accumulate a lot of administrative experience, but where will there be so little experience in life?

He tried to use the Big Dipper to determine his direction, but tonight the clouds obscured the sky and he couldn't see the Big Dipper. At this moment, he also fell into a more panicked and anxious situation, so his judgment was weakened a lot.

He made the stupidest decision of all, and that was to set off at night. He felt that as long as he moved in a fixed direction, he should be fine.

But on this dark night, walking in this environment without a proper landmark, he soon began to go around in circles, but in his consciousness, he was always moving forward, constantly moving forward, constantly moving in the southeast direction.

By early morning, he had actually begun to walk twenty miles or so to the southwest.

The most important thing is that he is really hungry and wants to eat something, otherwise, he will not have any body to get out of this desperate situation.

Even if there were no more pursuers behind him.

When the sun rose, he realized that he had deviated a lot, but this was not the most important problem at the moment, what he needed most at the moment was a meal!

At the very least, there's something to keep you fed.

Then, he found a scorpion that had come out of the sand early in the morning. This thing can be eaten, at least he knows, the country, especially many areas that are not very suitable for breeding and planting, and there are people who breed this special animal, not only scorpions, centipedes and poisonous snakes.

He had eaten fried scorpions, but he had never eaten them raw, and most importantly, he still knew that scorpions were poisonous.

It's just that there are only two choices in front of him at the moment: either desperately catch the scorpion to eat, or starve to death like this. He had already begun to feel that he would continue to starve, and in less than three hours he would collapse in the wilderness, and finally die here.

Seriously, if you really want to get to that point, it's better to continue to survive under the control of the dead.

So, he decided to fight it!

A stone, which could be found everywhere here, was trying to do the safest thing he could, which was to throw the stone at the scorpion and then pick it up and eat it. It's just that he was so weak that his vision began to be affected, so much so that he tried several times, but he couldn't kill the scorpion.

But he eventually caught the scorpion, covered it with his undressed clothes, and then stoned it to death.

It's a pity that the scorpion that has been smashed flat, a lot of nutrients have been lost like this. However, at least it can still fill the stomach.

It didn't taste very good, but at least it wasn't unpleasant, and that's all he had to say about this scorpion.

He continued to set off, heading southeast, and ate a scorpion, which made him regain a little bit of his body.

At the same time, two communicators were sent to the city of Beijing, as well as to a place in Australia. At the same time, Zhang Hongbin conveyed a request: let him meet his son, through the communication device. If his son is gone, he will launch an all-out attack on the city of Beijing!

Whether it's Li Zicheng or Chongzhen, the whole clan will be killed!

Li Zicheng received this communicator, and his brain crashed directly...... He thought of many ways to deceive Zhang Hongbin with fake Zhang Cai. But he didn't expect that the Republic had actually developed a machine that could communicate face-to-face at a long distance.

If this thing really has this effect, then his plan is really in serious trouble!

At this moment, he only hopes that his people are really optimistic about Zhang Cai, otherwise...... He had to find a way to quietly leave the city of Beijing!
