Chapter 421: Seeking Skin with the Tiger
"Then you say, I'll just stand and listen. Xia Fei deliberately showed weakness and said with a smile that was harmless to humans and animals.
Huo Lie frowned, and glanced gloomily at the hairball in Xia Fei's arms, this strange beast he didn't know, but it gave him a very strange feeling, extremely dangerous and not lacking in the demeanor of a king.
"I think you should know that the Zerg have changed dramatically in the last few thousand years."
Xia Fei thought for a while and said, "Now you have a lot of wise and strong people, and you are no longer a barbaric race, and you are moving in the direction of excellent intelligent life. β
Huo Lie showed a wry smile, "Yes, the Zerg is indeed evolving rapidly, and more and more high-level intelligent life forms are being produced, but it's a pity that we still haven't been able to get rid of barbarism and low-level tastes. β
Xia Fei frowned, Huo Lie's tone was very deep, like a philosopher rather than a warrior, this was not the same as Xia Fei and all the Zerg warriors he had met before, although Huo Lie was also crazy when he fought, but he had an extra taste of elegance in him, which could be seen from his dress and meticulous hairstyle, he was well educated in terms of clothing and language, and this education was probably influenced by the human side.
"In our Zerg, evolution has produced two extremes, one is extremely intelligent but has no force, and the other is strong in force, but the character is very similar to our ancestors who drank blood, savage and ignorant, and there are quite few warriors who really have both wisdom and force, and even if there are, they are mostly perverted guys."
"With the continuation of the evolution of the clan, this contradiction is becoming more and more prominent, in the Zerg who advocate force, only wisdom and no force will not be valued, so the status of the wise is not as good as those warriors who don't know anything and know how to kill for fun."
"The wise people yearn for civilization, they like the music, opera, art, and rich and peaceful life of the Human Alliance, while the strong don't care about this, technology is only for the production of more powerful warships in their eyes, it exists for war, and those cultural things are extremely disdainful of them."
"So in the Zerg, the conflict between the wise and the strong has always existed, and the two sides have been wrestling since the day the race evolved, and it has always been the strong who have the upper hand, and they have forced the Zerg to develop according to their wishes, and recruit troops on a large scale to be ready for war at any time."
"Of course, all this is what the wise men don't want to see, they prefer the Zerg to develop a real pluralistic civilization, rather than blindly emphasizing force, so the wise men of the Zerg gradually united, relying on their clever minds to fight against those fools who only know how to kill."
"It's a pity that this kind of struggle is very pale, wisdom is so insignificant in the face of powerful force, a warrior can easily kill thousands of wise men, but the wise man has no way to resist, the pain is still continuing, more and more wise people choose to give in, until not long ago, a super intelligent zerg with a real kingly demeanor was born."
Xia Fei smiled slightly when he heard this, and said casually: "You're talking about Wudi, the strongest wise man in the history of the Zerg." β
Huo Lie said: "Yes, it is him, under his leadership, the wise men of the Zerg reunited, and did their best to send him to the position of the king of the Golden Tent, hoping that he can lead the Zerg to establish their own civilization, a truly intelligent Zerg that can be proud of the universe in any aspect." β
"But he betrayed us!" Huo Lie blew his thigh heavily, and said angrily: "Before ascending to the throne, Emperor Wu vowed to develop science and technology, culture, and make the Zerg more diversified, but the first thing he did when he ascended to the throne was to continue to develop the military and wage war against you humans!" Completely ignoring the pure persuasion of the wise and insisting on going his own way, this is not a betrayal and what is it! β
Xia Fei felt funny when he heard this, the story of the wise and strong people in the Zerg was a joke to him, there is no force and there are ideals, these Zerg wisdom people are naΓ―ve and almost cute, they have wisdom but forget the iron-like laws of the universe, whoever has a hard fist is the truth!
"So you and the wise camp you belong to have to find a way to eliminate this traitor, and then elect a new king, as for me, I was chosen by you as the executor of the assassination, because I am a human being, and it is most reasonable for me to act from any point of view, so as not to cause a civil war among the Zerg, let alone expose the existence of you wise people."
Huo Lie nodded heavily, "That's right, it is said that human beings are a highly intelligent race, and I saw that your performance today is indeed true." β
Xia Fei lit a cigarette and said with a chuckle: "If you nominate another king, you can guarantee that he will not betray like Emperor Wu?" β
Huo Lie was silent for a while, no one can guarantee this, and Wudi was the best example before.
"There is nothing bad about your thoughts, but it's a pity that you are too dependent on others, and you don't have the strength, forget it, I don't want to know too much about the Zerg, as long as I can kill Udi and end this war, my goal has been achieved, assuming that I cooperate with you, how can you guarantee that I have the opportunity to get close to Udi?"
Huo Lie said: "Don't worry about this, we have Deep Throat by the side of Emperor Wu, and his every move is under control, as long as you join our side, we guarantee that you will have the opportunity to take Emperor Wu in one fell swoop!" β
"Recently, Emperor Wu has lived in seclusion, often not in the Golden Tent, if you can't grasp his exact whereabouts, even if you have the power to destroy half of the galaxy, it will be in vain, after all, the imperial capital itself is the biggest secret of our Zerg, and it is impossible to destroy the imperial capital by pure force."
Huo Lie said very sincerely, Xia Fei's performance left a good impression on him, he was a strong man, and at the same time he was also a wise man in the Zerg, knowing that with Xia Fei's help, his chances of success would be greatly increased, not to mention anything else, the power of the Destruction Star in Xia Fei's hand was jaw-dropping.
Xia Fei is more advantageous because of his identity, a public figure like Huo Lie has already taken a great risk in coming out to negotiate with Xia Fei, let alone directly assassinating Emperor Wudi.
Once the news leaks out, the entire Zerg will unite to deal with this group of wise men, and the safest way is to blame Wudi's death on unrelated people.
Xia Fei nodded, "To be honest, I am really tempted by the conditions you offered, if I can't kill Emperor Wudi, I Xia Fei will not feel at ease in my life, but I also have my own conditions." β
"On what terms?"
"I must exist as an independent individual, I will not accept your instructions, assuming that you say that you can do it at a certain time and place, I also have to weigh the pros and cons, and only when I am sure enough, will I carry it out."
Huo Lie groaned, "You mean cooperation?" β
"Yes!" Xia Fei nodded heavily, "The relationship between us is a cooperative relationship rather than an employment, unless this is the case, I will never agree." Since it is in the interests of both of us to kill Udi, we have a basis for cooperation, but when and in what way to do it, it is up to me to decide. β
With that, Xia Fei took two steps back, clasped his arms in front of his chest, and put on a non-negotiable posture.
Huo Lie was a little embarrassed, according to the original plan, it was to persuade Xia Fei to become his own hired killer and serve himself, and if Xia Fei didn't agree, he would get rid of him immediately, but now Xia Fei was willing to cooperate, but he was unwilling to give up the initiative and asked to retain his right to choose and judge, which was still very different from the terms set by Qingliu before.
"Wait a minute."
Huo Lie stood up and took two steps to the side, and the darkness suddenly rose, enveloping him inside, and he couldn't hear any sound from the outside, and he couldn't see what he was doing.
"The dark ability is really strong, attacking, defending, hiding the body, almost to the point of omnipotence." The ghost exclaimed.
Xia Fei said: "That's true, compared to dark abilities, those abilities that control ice and fire are just like pediatrics. β
The ghost frowned, "Are you really planning to work with these bugs?" It's a bit of a fire in the fire, and I'm having a hard time believing these guys anyway. β
Xia Fei smiled slightly: "What's more, it's like dancing with wolves, if I guess correctly, these people's plans are true, but there are still tricks." β
"Afterstroke?"
"They will do everything possible to help me kill Udi, and then kill me, only the dead will keep it secret, they must be able to think of this, so for their safety, I must not live."
"Then I will be branded as a human assassin, all the blame will be put on me and the alliance, hatred will blind the eyes of the people, they can take advantage of the excitement of the clan to rise to the throne in one fell swoop, and then slowly eradicate the remnants of the Udi and truly control the entire Zerg."
The ghost exclaimed: "This plan is really insidious and vicious, every step is designed seamlessly, since you know that they will not let you go no matter what, how can you still show such indifference?" Working with them is tantamount to suicide! β
Xia Fei said: "Risks and benefits are always accompanied, assuming that I don't take risks, the chance of killing Udi is really not big, instead of breaking in like this, it is better to cooperate with them, and then it will depend on whose skills are more skillful." β
"Are you sure you'll survive?"
"Nope."
"And you're going to rely on luck?"
"You don't really think that I've relied on luck all the way, the key to this move is whether I can cooperate with them, and I must not lose my autonomy, so that there may be a chance of survival."
β¦β¦
In the darkness, Qingliu, who was far away in the imperial capital, actually seemed to be standing in front of Huo Lie, but his feet were a little vague, and it could be seen that it was the product of some kind of signal virtuality.
"He asked for cooperation?" Qingliu touched his beard and said.
"That's right, the information is provided by us, and it is up to us when and how to attack her."
Qingliu muttered, "This will make it difficult for us to control him, it will be very detrimental to our plans, is it worth taking this risk?" β
Huo Lie said in a deep voice: "Our risk is already not small, I think this human named Xia Fei is very scheming, maybe he can really succeed." β
Qingliu's eyes lit up, "You are so optimistic about him?" β
Huo Lie said firmly: "Well, I am quite optimistic. β
Qingliu smiled, "There are not many people who can be favored by you, brother, in this way, you can agree to all his requests, and then take him to Heifeng Ridge." β
"Black Peak Ridge!" Huo Lie was surprised: "What are you going to do with him to Heifeng Ridge?" β
Qingliu smiled slyly: "I naturally have an arrangement, he has his conditions, and we must also have our means." β
