136: Settle the grudge with Zhao Aotian
At the long table, the maids cut and plated the relatively large dishes one by one and handed them to the four people who dined.
No, three people and one dragon to be exact.
"Yikes!"
When handing the jade pork meat to Di Zheng Qian, maybe he was too nervous, right? The maid accidentally knocked over the plate.
Such a faux pas, Situ Zhou's frightened face turned white.
This girl, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, suddenly lost her face with fright, and bowed to Zheng Qian again and again in horror: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”
From the expression on her face, Zheng Qian read a sentence.
Please don't eat me, I don't want to die.
Zheng Qian waved his hand casually: "It's okay, don't be so nervous." ”
Her fingers seemed to have been cut, and a drop of blood oozed from the wound.
Seeing this, Zheng Qian raised his hand at her.
The maid shrank in fright, but the imaginary death did not come, but the pain in her fingers disappeared.
Raise your head again.
Although that face was still too terrifying for humans, there was no trace of ferocity in those eyes that were completely made of fireballs, but an inexplicable sense of affinity.
The gentle blue flame burned slowly like a simmering fire, and even the small flames swayed very slowly.
"If you knock it over, make another plate, just a little dish, don't hurt yourself."
The young and beautiful maid froze in place.
She obviously didn't expect that this terrifying-looking demon dragon would have a temperament as gentle as the brother next door.
"Lost... It's rude, and the slave will go and play another game for you. ”
After a while, the maid came back to her senses, and then hurried back.
Only this time, there is no left foot to hit the right foot as nervously as before.
When the other maids and attendants saw it, their fear of Zheng Qian also subsided slightly, and the stiff atmosphere eased a little.
"Mr. Candle Dragon Emperor is really an adult, there are a lot of them." Situ Zhou opened his mouth and praised.
Zheng Qian ate the things on the plate by himself and said, "It's nothing, people didn't mean it." ”
"If only all the nobles were as generous as you." Situ Zhou complimented.
"Where, I'm not an unreasonable dragon, if I do something wrong, as long as I can sincerely apologize, I will generally forgive what I can forgive."
With these words, Zhao Aotian on the side stopped in his ears, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
Raising his head, he found that the Candle Dragon Emperor was looking at him with an inexplicable look.
Zhao Aotian's heart sank to the bottom.
Situ Zhou sorted out his thoughts and said curiously: "What about Mr. Zheng Qian?" ”
Zheng Qian said: "He went shopping with his girlfriend. ”
When Zhao Aotian heard this, a trace of doubt rose in his heart: "Really? ”
"Really."
Seeing his blazing eyes and carefully discerning whether he was lying or not, Zheng Qian was a little moved.
At least his concern for "Zheng Qian" is sincere.
If not, he would never dare to speak with a candle dragon emperor with such a tough attitude for this kind of thing.
Seeing that he was a little unconvinced, Zheng Qian sighed: "He is now in the Yuping Bazaar on the edge of the guild, if you don't believe it, you can go and see it." ”
"No, no."
Although Zhao Aotian was still a little suspicious, seeing that the Candle Dragon Emperor was so frank, and thinking about it carefully, such a strong demonic beast might not disdain to deceive humans, so he put his mind at ease.
Zhao Aotian is not hostile, and now at this critical juncture, he can still distinguish between priorities and priorities.
What he was most worried about now was that if yesterday's call really angered the Candle Dragon Emperor, it would make Zheng Qian miserable.
If that's the case, Zhao Aotian may spend the rest of his life in guilt, right?
Situ Zhouhu glanced at Zhao Aotian and asked him not to speak.
After three rounds of drinking, Situ Zhou saw that the time was almost up, and took the opportunity to toast and said to Zheng Gan: "Mr. Candle Dragon Emperor, you are a strong man, and I am the king of eastern Sichuan."
There are some things, and this king doesn't want to waste your time, so he gets straight to the point. ”
"You mean a massive invasion of Warcraft after 26 days?"
Situ Zhou was stunned for a moment, and nodded helplessly: "That's right, this battle is tantamount to a catastrophe for us in eastern Sichuan."
If we can't stop it, we will perish, and if we can't stop it, the surrounding countries and Gagaya will not let go of the ruined Kawadong, and we will still perish.
Regardless of victory or defeat, the east of Sichuan will perish, so ......"
"Do you want me to come out of the mountain and help you hold this wave?" Zheng Qian didn't bother to go around the bend with him, so he said it straight to the point.
Situ Zhou lowered his head a little embarrassed.
Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Zheng Qian pretended to be casual and said, "Is it really okay to ask the former enemy to help?" ”
Everyone knows what this means.
Situ Zhou's wine glass kept spinning in his hand, but it couldn't relieve his anxiety.
"I know that as a human being, I have sinned against you before, and now it is a little inappropriate to ask you for assistance.
But... We're really running out of options.
When you first came to the palace, you said that as long as you still like to live in our eastern Sichuan, if you are in trouble, you don't mind providing a little help.
Mr. Candle Dragon Emperor, there is a problem in eastern Sichuan now, although I know that it is inappropriate to say so, but...
Please help us. ”
Zheng Qian could hear that Situ Zhou's words were from the bottom of his heart and sincere.
Zheng Qian didn't even doubt that even if he said now that he wanted me to help you unless you died, this king would probably not hesitate to pick up his sword and kill himself, right?
But Zheng Qian is not such a good talker.
"I remember the little benefits I promised at the beginning, but I remember them very clearly?"
Putting down the chopsticks, Zheng Qian leaned on the back of the chair leisurely, and looked at Situ Zhou casually: "So what you did to me in the dungeon, have you forgotten?" ”
After that, Zheng Qian also glanced at Zhao Aotian: "Mr. Zhanwang, what do you say?" ”
Zhao Aotian is not a fool, of course he can hear the meaning behind this yygq.
He didn't dare to look up at Zheng Qian, pursed his lips and said, "What you said to me when you came to the palace for the first time, I have been thinking about it all this time.
Indeed, I provoked that battle, and I do not deny that it was my fault to attack you indiscriminately at that time.
But the Candle Dragon Emperor, don't forget either! ”
He looked up.
Zhao Aotian did not avoid his gaze this time, but calmly faced Zheng Qian.
"If you say that I tried to kill you, it was an attempt at best, and you killed 3,000 people.
You don't want to say that the sin of the past is not as serious as the attempt? ”
"I don't want to kill you, and you want to kill me and take action, I'm just in self-defense."
"But you ......"
"Aotian, don't say it!"
"No, I'm going to say!"
Situ Zhou still wanted to obstruct it, but Zhao Aotian was willing to listen, so he shook off his obstructing hand.
Not long after the banquet began, Zhao Aotian read such a meaning from the short dialogue of the Candle Dragon Emperor: I will not let you go!
Zhao Aotian, who had endured until now, had already collapsed.
Thinking of those 3,000 soldiers, Zhao Aotian's heart hurt as if he had been crushed.
"This is not a matter for the state, this is a matter between me and the Candle Dragon Emperor, Your Majesty, if you want the Candle Dragon Emperor to help, then the grievances between me and the Candle Dragon Emperor must be settled before that.
Candle Dragon Emperor, you think so too, right?
The strong are straightforward, otherwise you wouldn't have wasted time here with us weak. ”
Zheng Qian closed his eyes and did not answer.
But this attitude is very clear.
That's right, this is also the reason why Zheng Qian and Situ Zhou went around and around, and they also made things difficult.
Zheng Qian has to face the demon god next, and he must use his true body.
However, the question of the race of the real body will arouse the hostility and suspicion of human beings.
And the truth does not allow Zheng Qian to kill people.
Truth is not a system.
Whether truth or not even counts as skill is a question.
Because Zheng Qian discovered that truth is self-conscious.
The most typical example is the task of not killing human beings indiscriminately, and there is an additional condition called the addition of human beings who must be killed by the task or have obvious malice.
Zheng Qian also once asked the truth, if I show up and cause human hostility, can I kill it?
Because the experience of killing is particularly high, Zheng Qian also thought about whether he could use this to brush up his experience.
The answer to the truth is that this is a classic exploitation, a forbidden, and a double penalty.
That is, the truth has a strong judgment to judge whether you are suspected of exploiting loopholes in the mission regulations.
This is the biggest difference between truth and system.
The system is dead, the truth is alive, and the truth has its own subjective consciousness, so you must not have the intention of finding bugs around the bend in the tasks it assigns, otherwise the regret is very serious.
In the face of truth, there is no such thing as "everything that is not forbidden by the law."
In this case, the human form can't defeat the demon god, and the real body will violate the mission.
This creates an endless loop.
If he wants to break this cycle, Zheng Qian must find a way to make his true body have a foothold in the human world and be accepted by ordinary humans.
And the biggest obstacle to breaking this dead cycle is Zhao Aotian.
Sure enough, it is not a relative who knows him best, but an enemy?
After being silent for a long time, Zheng Qian opened his eyes again.
The fire in his eyes turned from simmering to squirting.
Zheng Qian looked at Zhao Aotian and said in a low voice: "That's right, I came today just to settle the grievances of the dungeon with you."
Want my help? Settle the accounts for me first.
By the way, I would like to answer your question about the attempt.
If justifiable defense requires the perpetrator to be established, then there is no justifiable defense in this world. ”
