Chapter 51: The Awakened Lion
Uptown Songjiang, top floor of the Parliament Building.
Three members sat at a long round table, each dressed in fine costumes and delicate ornaments, and elegantly seated at the table.
Round Table, the highest meeting of the Matsue Parliament. Even if only three MPs were present instead of all of them, it is enough to show that this is not an ordinary event.
"Struggle to survive, another little guy like Fang Ketu." The only woman among the three councillors, wearing a golden headdress, spoke with a smile on her face.
"It's always like this in the lower city, I can't always recognize my identity, I can't put myself in the right position." A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and an imperial dress said calmly.
"Perhaps, we can get rid of this little guy in advance?" The feminine-looking male parliamentarian played with the Buddhist beads in his hand and said with a light smile.
"Thoughts can't be killed." The female councillor shook her head slightly, "This little guy's thoughts have already spread in the lower city, and killing him will only intensify the progress of his thoughts and stimulate the powder keg of the lower city." β
"Ms. Hu Lian is right, instead of dealing with this child, it is better to let him develop, and when he thinks he can overthrow Shangcheng, he will repeat the events of nine years ago." The man in the formal suit said.
"Jiang Nantian won't make a second move." The feminine councillor frowned.
"Dawn-based weapons are already being produced and tested, and a land as barren as Xiacheng can't contain demigods. Besides, we also have Mr. Song Ke. The formal councillor said.
"I'm in favor of interrupting their hopes again than to settle this little guy in advance." The female parliamentarian smiled, as if she was happy to see the moment when the hopes of the people in the lower city were dashed.
"I'm in favor of it too. It seems that we have agreed. β
"His Royal Highness King Chen meant to warn him. Do you have a good candidate? β
"Hasn't Fang Ketu always been in contact with Zhang Ke of the Law Enforcement Bureau, just let him go." The female parliamentarian said with a smile.
"I'm sure this Lower City Light will be surprised."
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and everything was under control.
β¦β¦
Lower city Nan'an, tavern.
The tavern was rarely deserted, and there were no men in the vicinity of Fang Ketu, nor could you see the people from the lower city who came to drink.
In order to pave the way for Li Xin, Fang Ketu sent all his subordinates out to the major lower cities to promote Li Xin's ideas.
And the tavern was also temporarily closed, because Fang Ketu had a hunch that with his movements, someone from Shangcheng would come sooner or later.
As expected, not long after, Fang Ketu waited for someone from the upper city.
It's just that......
Fang Ketu looked at the man in front of him who was also helpless, wearing the uniform of a law enforcer.
"You were sent by the Council?" Fang Ketu broke the silence.
Zhang Ke, the captain of the anti-crime detachment of the Songjiang Law Enforcement Bureau, nodded helplessly at Fang Ketu at this time.
"Obviously, our relationship is clear to the council. They have more control over the Upper City than we ever imagined. β
"It's unexpected, it's reasonable." Fang Ketu sighed.
With the dawn at the dawn, it is not surprising that the council's control over the heavens has reached full coverage.
"What are you going to do?" Zhang Ke looked at Fang Ketu, and a thick different color appeared in his eyes.
In the past, Fang Ketu was simply dressed up, not to mention sloppy beard, but it will never be as clean and tidy as it is now.
Changed into a black robe, shaved his hair into a short hair, and his beard was also shaved clean, the whole person looked a lot more refreshed, and his spirit was different, which was completely different from his lifeless appearance before.
"I want to support that kid." When Fang Ketu mentioned Li Xin, a trace of tenderness flashed on his face.
"Are you crazy?" Zhang Ke's brows furrowed, "Have you forgotten the tragedy nine years ago?" Isn't it good to cherish the peace of now, and why do you have to make these senseless sacrifices? β
"Their sacrifice is not meaningless." Fang Ketu shook his head, "The darkness before dawn is the most terrifying, but when the first rays of sunlight fall, the beauty of the world is unimaginable. β
"You've changed, Fangketu." Zhang Ke looked at Fang Ketu, "Why did you become like this, because of Li Xin?" The adopted son who doesn't even have your last name? β
"That's not the main reason." Fang Ketu shook his head again, "I just figured out one thing. There will be no peace between the upper and lower cities. β
"But at least it's peaceful now!"
"But that's just a faΓ§ade, my friend." Fang Ketu looked at Zhang Ke, "The contradictions between the upper city and the lower city are accumulating under the suppression of me and the council, I originally planned to continue to suppress until the day when the people of the upper city accept us people of the lower city, but Li Xin told me that this will not work." β
"Respect is always played, not given by others. I was wrong, from the moment I accepted the Chenwang agreement nine years ago. β
"Do you want to support Li Xin to rekindle the rebellion against Shangcheng?" Zhang Ke asked.
After seeing Fang Ketu nodding, Zhang Ke couldn't help but raise his voice.
"Are you crazy? You are the leader of the lower city, and if you support Li Xin, the council will not necessarily care about Li Xin, but they will definitely target you and put you on a wanted list! When the time comes, the magistrate will come to the lower city with weapons, and you are the "son of God", but can you resist a few of the same level of spiritual envoys? β
Fang Ketu laughed.
Under the angry gaze of his friend Zhang Ke, he was full of smiles.
"You're laughing at your mother!" Zhang Ke couldn't help but burst into foul language.
"Ahem!" Fang Ketu coughed dryly twice, and restrained his smile, which was indeed a bit like mockery.
"It's okay, my friend." Fang Ketu had a faint smile on his face, "They can come if they want." β
"I've figured it out these days that we're on the wrong path."
"We just want to complete the reform as soon as possible, break the contradiction between the upper and lower cities, and let the lower city stand on the world stage with dignity. But we were wrong. β
"Change is never something that can be done in a short period of time. My path and thoughts are wrong, I don't need to complete the transformation of the lower city while I am alive, nor do I need to see the independence of the lower city while I am alive, and the person who will rise to the top of the city under the leadership of the future does not need to be me. β
"But this battle, I'm going to fight!" Fang Ketu's eyes were blazing, "If we don't fight this battle, the next generation in the lower city will definitely fight it!" We are fighting this battle for the sake of our next generation, knowing full well that the next generation will no longer face war! β
"It doesn't have to be me."
"Laughter and celebration, it's theirs."
"Blood donations and struggles are ours."
Fang Ketu's voice was calm and powerful, and in front of Zhang Ke's eyes, Fang Ketu's face that had gone through vicissitudes of life now gradually coincided with the high-spirited Fang Ketu back then.
The original "Light of the Lower City", the six lions of the Lower City, has awakened!
