"You look like a philosopher, not a tribal king." Tianhao let out a soft sneer.

The unfamiliar word "philosophy" confuses Lu Qingxi, but it is not the focus of his attention at the moment. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly let go of his fingers, allowing the signal canister in his hand to roll down his knee and fall to the ground.

"This thing is fake, in fact, I didn't arrange for someone to wait for the signal to set fire to the warehouse." Lu Qingxi's face was calm, and he released an unprecedented loss in his exhaustion: "I know you have seen through it a long time ago, but for other reasons, you let them leave." ”

"You are the king of the deer clan, and you deserve the dignity of a king, as well as the last power." Tianhao did not deny it.

Lu Qingxi opened his mouth and felt bitter, and the stickiness between his mouth and tongue was very uncomfortable. At this moment, he no longer had the restraint of his thoughts: "You know, I've always been jealous of you." ”

Tianhao stood in place and nodded slightly: "You have been using me." ”

"That's exactly what I want to say to you." Lu Qingxi's thin face was flushed with blue, which was the display of blood vessels in the light: "We are all using each other, you succeeded, I failed." ”

Tian Hao Ningding's face did not show the slightest change in emotion: "This is a cruel era, there is no so-called win-win, only the only winner." ”

"You're trying to say I'm using the wrong method?" Lu Qingxi's dark black eyes seemed to be able to see through Tianhao's brain: "I betrayed my brother, killed my father, and colluded with outsiders to kill my own king...... Tut-tut, I'm a heinous bastard, and even the god of evil is ashamed of himself. There will definitely be a place in hell for me, and maybe I can become the king of the demons. ”

These words are very exciting, Lu Qingxi has a clear and profound understanding of what he has done. Tianhao couldn't help but raise his hand to applaud vigorously and give him a thumbs up.

"You're going to kill me." This sentence is in a declarative tone.

Tian Hao stated the facts in agreement in the same calm tone: "The human head of the king of the deer clan is the best sacrifice. Your head will be made into a bone bowl, which will always be enshrined in front of the spirits of the ancestors of the ox people. ”

Lu Qingxi got confirmation from Tianhao, and he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Everyone does this, no wonder those white-skinned guys in the south think we are rude and barbaric." ”

Tianhao skipped his emotion, and the question was straightforward: "Why surrender?" That's not what you're always doing. ”

Lu Qingxi is an extremely selfish guy. This point, from the first contact, Tianhao has a clear understanding.

Must take Bucks City in one fight. In order to achieve this purpose, Tianhao mobilized a large number of personnel to maintain logistics supply. After all, this is the last main city of the Deer Clan. With Lu Qingxi's character, it is very likely that he will gamble everything like a red-eyed gambler. This is his last bargaining chip, losing means death, and he must fight to the end.

The white flag fluttering in the wind at the head of the city was simply unexpected. If it weren't for the fact that there was no deception in it, Tianhao would not have entered the city anyway.

“…… I am tired. Lu Qingxi said slowly. He reached out and picked up the scepter representing royal power from the table next to him, and stroked it gently: "I have killed too many people, and many more have died because of me." I...... After all, I am the king of the deer clan, and I also want to have a good reputation after death. Bucks is a dead land, there are no reinforcements, and no one is going to help me. Actually, I already knew that I was not your opponent, but if I didn't fight a battle and didn't come to a dead end, I wouldn't have made this decision. ”

Extremely complex and indescribable thoughts flashed in Tianhao's mind, clear and profound. Looking at Lu Qingxi, who was sitting on the throne and holding a scepter, Tianhao's face, which had been solemn since he walked into the main hall, finally showed a trace of surprise: "This is your true thoughts?" ”

"It's all at this time, deceiving you...... What's in it for me? Lu Qingxi leaned sideways on the armrest of the throne, raised his hand to support his forehead, as if the position was heavy, and let out a hoarse self-deprecation in exhaustion: "Since I was a child, I have always been very smart. Everyone, including my father, said I was much smarter than my two brothers. I learned to count before they did, and by the age of ten I was able to calculate exactly how much food a village of 3,000 people needed for a year. To tell you the truth, I look down on the ministers who are submissive in front of their fathers, including those self-righteous commanders who have tattoos on their arms and have never won a battle, they are all shameless idiots who can only ride on the necks of the common people for prestige, do not farm, do not harvest, and even do not even fart when it comes to critical times. ”

"I'm not reconciled...... The deer tribe has mastered the most efficient textile technology on the entire continent for nothing, but they can't even solve the most basic food and clothing problems of the tribe. My father was old, faint and arrogant. His Majesty the Deer King is the same, arrogant and short-sighted. I know very well the character of my eldest brother, he is not a pioneering man, at most he is just following the old ways of my father, and he is conformist. But this can't go on, the number of civilians is growing all the time, and they have to be fed and let them create greater and more wealth for the community. ”

Tianhao pursed his lips and let out a cold chuckle: "This is not your original idea, it was I who told you these concepts. ”

"You're my teacher." Lu Qingxi looked at him with solemn eyes, and his tone was serious: "This will never change. Even if I go to hell and kneel before death and ask for forgiveness, you are still my teacher. I am grateful for all that you have taught me, that you have opened my eyes to a future that I never imagined. I know you're taking advantage of me, and in terms of teaching alone, you're the best teacher I've ever had in my life. ”

Tianhao owed a little, and said lightly: "Thank you for the compliment." ”

"I'm not saying this to ask for your forgiveness." Lu Qingxi's voice was very soft, mixed with a hint of obvious unwillingness and loneliness: "In fact, during the Battle of Red Moon City last year, I understood that the gap between us was too big. You have fleets, and powerful artillery. I don't know where you found the sulphur from, and you changed the history of the northern continent forever. Don't say it's the deer clan, even if the tiger clan and the lion clan combined, they are not your opponents. ”

Tianhao raised his head and looked at Lu Qingxi, a trace of surprise flashed in the depths of his eyes: "I didn't expect you to have such insight before...... If you had chosen to surrender at that time, I would not have killed you, and I would have guaranteed you a happy life for the rest of your life. ”

Lu Qingxi shook his head, and an extremely resolute look appeared on his face: "That's impossible." The deer clan has always only had a king who died in battle, and there was no waste who took the initiative to beg for his life. I admit that I am no match for you, I failed. Only blood can cleanse me from my sins, but this act of self-redemption is limited to me, not to the entire race. ”

Tianhao was stunned.

For this era and most things, he has always maintained a sense of superiority due to time, as well as a potential sense of crushing. "Meanness is the pass of the despicable", this sentence is very suitable for Lu Qingxi. He is a greedy guy who teamed up with his opponents to kill his brother, poisoned his own father, and plotted to assassinate the entire Deer royal family...... It is no exaggeration to say that when the Deer King's scepter was held in his hand, it was already drenched in blood and could never be washed away.

Every word that came out of Lu Qingxi's mouth was pronounced standard and very clear.

Suddenly, he left the throne, stood up, bent his knees, and fell heavily in front of Tianhao.

"All sins are imputed to me alone. Please, spare the people of Stag City! This is a war that must be lost, and I chose to surrender because I hold the scepter and am the master of the throne behind me. But they ...... is innocent. ”

These words made Tianhao admire. If it weren't for all this happening right in front of him, he wouldn't have believed that a villain who had done a lot of evil and had no faith at all would have come to his senses at the last moment and produce unprecedented kindness.

Of course, it may also be that it has nothing to do with kindness. As Lu Qingxi himself said, he just wanted to atone for his sins and be liberated from the god of death who controlled hell.

But no matter what, what he did solved a lot of trouble for Tianhao.

The vigilance and hostility vanished most of it in an instant. Looking at Lu Qingxi, who was kneeling in front of him, Tianhao sighed: "Do you have any other requirements?" ”

This question seemed a bit redundant, because Lu Qingxi didn't mean to answer it at all. Before Tianhao's words fell, he pulled out the dagger from his back waist with extremely rapid movements, and in front of Tianhao, he slammed the sharp blade into his abdomen.

Tianhao was stunned again.

He knew that Lu Qingxi was bent on death, but he didn't expect the other party to be so strong...... The scene that happened in front of him made him sigh, for many years, from the first meeting to the later contact, everything showed that Lu Qingxi would pay any price in order to get power, and was even willing to take out his soul to make a deal with the devil. But now, he committed suicide in such a tragic way.

"Hahahaha...... I didn't expect it......" Looking at Tianhao, who was stunned, Lu Qingxi, who was suffering from the severe pain of his internal organs being stirred, gritted his teeth, and a smile appeared on his pale and cold sweaty face. At this moment, he was very satisfied, and could even say proud: "I have always been jealous of you. You can see through people's hearts and know what others think. But now...... Hahahaha, the gods are above, you definitely didn't expect me to kill myself. ”

Tianhao took a deep breath and nodded slowly in a dull and cold manner: "You're right, I always thought you were a coward. ”

Lu Qingxi felt that death was approaching him at an unprecedented speed, and the air inhaled into his lungs was not enough, so he had to speed up the pace of his breathing while saying with difficulty: "Prove yourself...... It's too hard...... I...... I dreamed of being a warrior, I'm not a waste...... If...... Give me time and I'll ...... I would ......."

Tianhao understood the subtext of his words and sighed, "If you have enough time and opportunity, you will become the greatest king in the history of the Deer Clan." ”

This ordinary sentence had an unprecedented magic power on Lu Qingxi.

Tears welled up from the corners of his eyes, across his cheeks, pale from blood loss, and down his disopen lips into his mouth, seeping salty and bitter on the surface of the tip of his tongue.

It was a blur in front of me.

Lu Qingxi saw people with angry faces———— father, brother, first king, and the patriarchs who died in the hunting plot...... They will never forgive themselves and will always be their enemies.

Immediately afterward, he saw another group of people———— each of whose faces were unfamiliar, and although some seemed to know each other, they could not be named. They were the common people Lu Qingxi had seen when he was cruising in Bucks City before. There are many of them, most of them are smiling, respectful of themselves, and some can even be seen showing gratitude.

What a wonderful thing it is to be loved by everyone.

Unfortunately, I realized it too late.

Lu Qingxi covered the bleeding wound with both hands, and with the last strength, his eyes showed infinite expectation, and he looked at Tianhao who was standing in front of him: "Please...... Promise me...... At last...... Request ......"

Tianhao nodded slowly: "Say it!" ”

“…… Let them ...... Eat one's fill...... Live ...... Day...... I...... Forever...... Thank...... Thank you ......."

The volume is getting lower and lower, and the last few words are completely gone, and it is impossible to hear clearly.

He's dead. The expression on his face is full of anticipation, there is an element of happiness, and more of it is relief.

Tianhao stared at the corpse lying on the ground for a long time.

He suddenly had a new understanding and awareness of power and responsibility.

Even a heinous bastard like Lu Qingxi, there is still beauty and kindness in the deepest part of his heart. It's just that the proportion is so small that it can hardly be counted.

The word "awakening" seems inappropriate to describe his final moments. Tianhao felt that there might really be gods in this world, and it was they who dispelled hatred and evil, and let Lu Qingxi release kindness and more beautiful things in the last seconds of his life.

He turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall with the gate open.

Facing Yun Kai, the commander of the forbidden army who hurried over, Tianhao gave an order in a stable and serious tone: "The deer king is dead, and the deer clan has all merged into the Niu clan." From now on, there will be no such tribe as the Deer Clan. Be kind to those who surrender to the deer people, they make our brothers, not enemies. ”

Yun Kai comprehended, he glanced towards the hall and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, the Deer King...... What should I do? ”

"The old rule, cut off his head and make it into a bone bowl." Tian Hao had no intention of confronting the entire northern barbarian clan that had been adhering to it for many years, and he could only make as many changes as possible within his own power: "As for the corpse...... Cremated and buried with the rites of the patriarch. ”

According to the primitive and barbaric rules, the corpses of people of noble status like Lu Qingxi must be distributed to the nobles. Many nobles had a few pieces of jerky from the king of the clan in their homes. The pieces of meat are made of special materials and medicines, dark black, dry and hard, without any edible value and not antiques, but they are important symbols of nobility and authority.
