Chapter Eighty-Eight: It Turned Out to Be a Remote Control

It is difficult for the Masha to understand this expression because they do not have the experience of being in love in the traditional sense. I always feel that this kind of thing should come very simply, from liking to confessing may be a gluttonous evolution process, preparing the ingredients, steaming out, eating, and finishing.

But it turns out that a woman's heart is a needle under the sea, and a woman's heart is actually a needle in the sole of a shoe, which is sharp and ruthless. Don't offend women, the Metropolitan Governor admires the light of the children in "Hourglass", and must remember the original intention, this emotion is very beautiful, but all the beauty of beautiful things is because it has a veil.

The cold wind blowing along the way made the Metropolitan Governor sober up a little, and he was quickly lifted towards Miyagi with his feet off the ground. What's wrong with me? Philena wants to see me? No, I'm not ready for a blind date...

With a "thud", he was thrown to the ground. After the sound of squirming footsteps, there was silence. Zhou Yu simply lay there enjoying himself, and almost fell asleep with a burst of alcohol. Suddenly, I felt something sharp digging into the strands. Hey, it hurts, it hurts, who's it?

When he opened his eyes, he saw Philena's pretty face crouched beside him, looking at him, a sharp dagger in his hand dangling in front of him as if demonstratively. Philena in front of people is dignified and majestic, but at this moment she has a naughty appearance, like the girl who went to school next door when she was a child.

"Happy, huh?" The dagger continued to pierce his thigh.

"No, no!" Zhou Yu moved his butt to the side, dodging the knife.

"Happy celebrating, huh?" Another stab in the ass and balls.

"Oh, not happy, not celebrating!" Zhou Yu covered his ass with both hands.

"Got carried away?" This time the dagger was simply down his throat.

"I said, Miss, what are you going to do?" Zhou Yu completely woke up, slapped the dagger on his neck, and glared at Fei Lina angrily.

This sudden roar surprised Philena as well. Bewildered, staring at the masked man lying on the ground. There was a rapid sound outside the door, and several heavily armed guards rushed in, holding swords and vicious swords to cut Zhou Yu into pulp.

Phirina raised her jade arm and waved it outward.

"It's okay, don't come in without my orders." She commanded faintly.

"The wine is awake, and the spills are sprinkled. It's time to get up, right? Fei Lina stood up, and Lianbu gently walked to the window, looking at the golden moonlight pouring in from the window, holding her pink cheeks with both hands, and staring into the distance like autumn water. Zhou Yu looked at her slender back, with a lilac dress and a flowing bun made of golden hair. It's like an oil painting that has just been painted.

The Governor coughed dryly, got up from the ground, patted his legs and arms, walked behind Philena, and made a sound to signal that he was leaning over. After a while, she yelled at herself and insulted her, and she was embarrassed.

"Is it true that it's hard to open your mind?" A timid voice came from the front.

"Ah, uh, yes! It was a traditional knot in my hometown, and it was originally a ritual for a man and a woman in love. It was appropriated by me and into today's game, and I hope that the princess will forgive me! ”

"You Silannu is full of gibberish and nonsense, do you think I don't know? This continent of Thorasia has traveled almost all the footprints of this county, how have you ever heard of and seen this difficult way to tie up? Philena didn't reply, although it was a reproachful tone, but it was a little less domineering.

"Well, actually, I'm not from Xilan either." Zhou Yu walked up to her and stood quietly by the window looking at the lonely night sky. Among those stars far away in the sky, is there a loving mother on it, holding a new sweater for herself, and tears on her face have not dried.

"I guessed that the people of Xilan don't have such good warriors." Philena snorted, clearly knowing what he was hiding.

The Metropolitan Governor was not surprised, a princess who traveled from south to north should have some understanding of the several races under her rule, otherwise she was born in vain in the royal family. He knew that he couldn't hide it from her, so he simply told her to be more sincere.

"What do you mean by all these secrets? If it is to climb the high branches and leap to the sky, I advise you to give up early. Phirina still didn't look back, but her tone had turned cold.

"Haha!" Zhou Yuyang laughed twice, this princess showed that she was different from the old Cheng at this age, and she could see through her careful thoughts at a glance.

"No, no, no. The whole world is not the king's land, but the weak water is 3,000 and only wants to take a scoop to drink. ”

"What do you mean?" Felena was a little dazed by this pan-the-pan statement.

"I want to turn my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch, Your Royal Highness the Princess. You think I'm leaning on you and have other plans, that's true. But if you think that in order to capture the hearts and gold and jade, you rely on women to be the horses of thousands of people, it is very wrong. ”

"Oh? Do I still think highly of you? Are you here for money? ”

"No, I'm just trying to achieve an ideal."

"An ideal, what is it?"

"Once upon a time, there was a man in my hometown named Plato, who wrote a book called The Republic. The content of the book is to explore why people live and how to be a qualified king. ”

"Oh? Have you read a book? Philena turned her head in surprise and looked at the Metropolitan Governor with a confused look. Obviously, she couldn't believe that such an ugly masked man from the lowest part of society would have access to books.

"Then why do you say people live?"

"To enjoy the process."

"Enjoy the process, what do you mean?"

"It's about realizing your value in the decades you live."

"Realize your own value... Velina bowed her head thoughtfully, muttering the phrase.

"And what are you worth?"

"I can't tell you what I'm worth. This is my secret. Although the Metropolitan Governor opened the conversation, he knew that there was a release and a receipt.

"Well, everybody has secrets, and they shouldn't be forced to make them public. Just like in this continent of Soracia, countless princes and nobles, generals, priests, and fiefdom lords, which one is not each with a ghost, and which one is not one in front of the other and one behind the scenes? No one can coerce them to tell the truth. ”

"The princess is a sensible person, admired, admired!" Zhou Yu admires this princess who is so mature that she does not match her actual age.

"Then tell me how to be a qualified king?" Felena calmed down and continued to ask him.

I'll it, this won't be an extra test, right? Isn't the exam over? Lao Tzu has already won the championship with an absolute advantage, princess, do you want to play again?

"A qualified king is like an ordinary person who climbs up in a cave. Standing at the very bottom of the cave is a source of pain and despair. With no hope in sight, surrounded by dry bones and wailing, this is the worst ruler and the worst system of governance. ”

"If you want to change that, you have to climb up. As we make progress and make progress little by little, the higher we climb, the more we see things, the more we will hate and resist the darkness and disorder at the bottom, and we want to build a more fair, just, harmonious and orderly social form. Can you understand what I'm saying? ”

"Well, almost." Phirina was clearly thinking and remembering at a rapid pace.

"It wasn't until he climbed to the exit of the cave, saw the sun hanging in the sky, bathed in the warm sunshine, and stepped on the earth that nourishes all things, that the ruler really came to the ideal country. It turns out that the so-called ultimate path is the fraternity of people, the admiration for all things, the gratitude for the gifts, and the respect for life. ”

"Fraternity for men ... Respect for life ... ”

"Yes. Everyone has only one chance to live, and if you want to climb from the bottom of the cave to the outside of the cave for the rest of your life, you need to stand on the shoulders of giants. ”

"Standing on the shoulders of giants?" Fei Lina frowned and shook her head, what Zhou Yu said was too profound and obscure for her, although she had received a good education since she was a child, and had a unique opinion on what was under the rule and what was the strategy, but it was still difficult to understand this kind of philosophical thought beyond her time for a while.

"Forget it, it's a bit hard. I can't tell you clearly for a while, but I'll go back and send you a courier, and you can study it carefully, maybe it will help you form a new worldview. ”

The two men fell into deep thought at the same time. What Zhou Yu thought of was not the ideal country of his previous life. In fact, where is there any ideal country? That's all Plato's fantasy and wishful thinking. As long as there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are disputes. If civilizations, races and religions cannot be united, war and oppression, unity and annihilation cannot end. All cooperation and group warmth are temporary, all phases, and will eventually be broken. The millennia of human history illustrates this problem well.

If one realizes that he is nothing more than a leek that the ruling class harvests regularly, he really grows. There are some ulterior secrets behind those forces that shout to entertain others to death or make others more lazy, more direct, and more ruthless through all kinds of high-tech means. Don't say it, don't say it!

"I really didn't expect it." The silence was momentary, but it was Philena who broke the silence.

"What didn't you expect?"

"I didn't expect you to be so insightful, I underestimated you."

The Grand Governor responded with a laugh. You are not underestimating me, if you despise all this, it is because you underestimate all the crystallization created by the entire human civilization of 5,000 years, and it is either irrational or simply stupid. The history of human blood and tears is also the history of the development of civilization. From * to collapse, from prosperity to barrenness, from collapse to wealth and from wealth to primitiveness, it is a matter of an instant from a distance.

"I'm a passerby in your life, and I won't leave anything behind when I walk there." Zhou Yu muttered.

"Is your face fake?" Philena asked suddenly.

"Yes or no. Is it that important? Looks, like names, are nothing more than things that are called and looked at by others, and have no meaning to themselves and those who love them. ”

"Why doesn't it make any sense?"

"Do you think my mother will dislike my looks? No. She is the one who really loves me, and those who linger on your beauty only care about your appearance, and don't really love you. When he is old and beautiful, that is, when others leave you. ”

"Good! Well said! Princess Philena high-fived her in praise. After a while, she was sure that the ugliness under the mask was not the real side of the person, but she no longer cared about what was hidden underneath.

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess." Zhou Yu came up with such a sentence for no reason.

"Oh? Thank me for what? ”

"Thank you for everything. Without your presence, I wouldn't have been able to pass the eye test. Without your commitment, I wouldn't have been able to win today's game. ”

"Oh, you mean, that, that's hard to open in the heart?" At this, a touch of crimson appeared on Philena's pretty face. After all, she is a woman in her twenties, and she is still a royal nobleman, and when it comes to love, she is flickering and difficult to speak.

"I know you have a lot of secrets, too. This time I came to the scene of the Ile Division Finals, it is definitely not as simple as watching the excitement, right? Zhou Yu saw that the atmosphere was a little dependent on you, and quickly diverted the topic.

"Well, these things are too complicated and very dangerous. Trust me, you don't know it's a good thing for you. ”

"That's right, Your Highness Princess. There is something unclear below, can you ask Her Royal Highness the princess to explain the doubts for a small one. Zhou Yu suddenly thought of something.

"You ask, I can tell you everything but my secret."

"That, what does it mean that people with status here have a bell tied to their hands or around their necks?" Zhou Yu pointed to the princess's chest, where a red string hung a golden bell the size of a winter date.

"Shut up! Are you crazy? Fei Lina suddenly went against the norm, regardless of the difference between men and women, and raised her jade hand to cover the big mouth of the Metropolitan Governor's beard. The two were clinging to each other, and Zhou Yu didn't know where he put his hand, whether he should hug her slender waist from behind.

Phirina looked under the window and then at the door. took a long breath, slowly let go of the smooth arm, and his pretty face was slightly gloomy. Obviously, he felt that his recklessness just now was out of proportion, but this kid was too ignorant to die.

"Don't talk about this openly, or I promise you'll die ugly." Philena is colorful. She was not surprised that a slave did not know the ins and outs of this, perhaps because he was too humble to know.

"Do you know Shui Wang Li?" Philena asked in an undetectable voice.

"Of course you know, isn't that the person who actually governs this continent?"

Phirina stared at him with an alien-like gaze, making the Governor feel uncomfortable, and he searched up and down himself. What's wrong, I have on me?

"You even call him a man?"

"It's not a human, it's a dog?" Zhou Yu spread his hands.

With a thud, Philena actually laughed. In the whole world, he is the only one who dares to call that person a dog.

"The Water King is not the ruler of Thoraxia, and he doesn't live here. This is nothing more than his fiefdom, and all living creatures on this continent are his slaves. ”

"Including you?" Zhou Yu asked with wide eyes.

Philena buried her head, silently announcing an affirmative answer.

This bell was a token that he distributed to every member of the royal family, lords, nobles, and priests. It must be worn for life and cannot be taken off, and anyone who dares to violate it will be tortured to death by painful torture. ”

"And how does he know if you wear it or not?"

"Three times a day, in the morning, noon and evening. You have to ring the bell yourself, and I don't know what mechanism is in this bell. If you delay for half a minute, you will be weak and collapse to the ground, or you will lose consciousness and cry for your life. Are you awesome? Velina said in a heavy tone.

I see, no wonder some people here are holding bells, it turns out that it is not to attract cats and dogs, there is such a layer of danger in it. Zhou Yu suddenly thought of the scene in the centaur department at that time, those centaurs got carried away after seeing the grassland fire, forgot to perform this ritual, and found the disaster of killing. Objectively speaking, the situation at that time was able to escape thanks to this bell.

"It turned out to be a remote control!" Zhou Yu muttered thoughtfully.
