Chapter 176: Temptation
Adhering to the fine tradition of becoming a daughter-in-law, Xiao Nizi is naturally no exception, doing things vigorously and resolutely, and disappeared outside the small courtyard with M1919 as soon as she finished speaking.
Seeing this, Cheng Xia was embarrassed and said straightly, "The husband is sluggish." ”
After sending Xiao Nizi away, the middle-aged man walked up to Cheng Xia's side again and praised softly: "Young man, you are so courageous, but do you know the origin of the person next to you?"
Shaking his head, Cheng Xia just didn't say anything.
With a slight smile, the middle-aged man didn't say anything, but turned his head to Hua Lei and asked, "Hua Lei, what crime should you be guilty of insulting and injuring the emperor?"
Hearing this, Hua Lei was overjoyed, glanced at Cheng Xia, then turned his head sideways, and arched his hand at the middle-aged man: "My emperor is wise, the laws of the empire stipulate that those who insult the emperor * scholar in public will cut off their tongues to show punishment, and those who cause harm to the emperor * soldier will be beheaded in public!"
After saying that, Hua Lei raised his eyebrows again and asked respectfully: "Dare to ask my emperor, when can the execution be carried out?"
Smiling slightly, the middle-aged man said happily: "You can do it at any time." ”
Hua Lei was flattered by the middle-aged man's attitude, rubbing his hands, walking to Cheng Xia's side with an evil smile, and then taking out a delicate hook-shaped knife from his arms.
Raising the knife to his mouth, he said evilly: "Boy, prepare to die." ”
Looking at the menacing and imposing Hua Lei, Cheng Xia hesitated for a while, and immediately calmed down, judging from the behavior of the middle-aged man, he obviously knew Xiao Nizi, since he knew Xiao Nizi, he could guess his identity if he wanted to, but he guessed it and didn't point it out, what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd?
"Wait, you seem to be looking for the wrong person. ”
At the moment when Hua Lei's knife was about to touch the corner of Cheng Xia's mouth, the middle-aged man spoke, and after finishing speaking, he pointed to Zhang Xiaoqiang who was lying on the ground and said, "Who injured my emperor? Judging from the injury, it seems to be the handiwork of the Fire God Sect." ”
Slightly stunned, Hua Lei didn't know why, but he heard the middle-aged man continue: "Just recently, Zhang Xiaoqiang has been awarded the title of Imperial Fighting Knight, and he is already a junior sergeant of my Jinliang Empire, who injured him?"
Hearing this, Hua Lei was taken aback, what was the purpose of this emperor targeting the Fire God Sect so much?
However, after being slightly stunned, Hua Lei hurriedly said, "What about him, he also injured the chief elder of my sect just now." ”
With a soft "oh?", the young man looked at Cheng Xia with interest and smiled softly: "Young man, are you interested in joining our Golden Liang Empire?
Hearing this, Cheng Xia knew that this middle-aged man's plan, could he change the status quo of the empire just by joining the Golden Liang Empire by himself? Zhang Daneng, a known master of the Nine Realms on the mainland, was still there, even if he joined, it would be useless, and his current identity would not only not be able to help him, but could even cause big trouble for Jin Liang. Thinking about it, Cheng Xia couldn't figure it out after all.
However, the middle-aged man didn't give him time to think about it, and the middle-aged man put his hands behind his back, and then said calmly: "According to the laws of the empire, anyone who is not an emperor * person insults or injures or has any disrespect to the emperor * person will be punished by Ling Chi. ”
Hearing this, Hua Lei felt a little better in his heart, and when he was about to continue the torture, he heard Cheng Xia's firm voice,
"Yes, I do, but I have one condition!"
Nodding slightly, the middle-aged man said, "You say"
"Hehe" smiled, Cheng Xia said: "I can serve the empire, but the empire can't restrict my freedom. ”
"This"
Hearing Cheng Xia's conditions, not only Hua Lei, but even the people behind the middle-aged man seemed to hear the Arabian Nights, and they didn't know what to say, as a soldier, every word and deed should be based on the empire, from the day he joined the guard, he had already given his life to the empire, how could he still be free?
However, the middle-aged man's answer surprised everyone even more, only to see the middle-aged man nod, and then said: "I promise your conditions, and, from now on, you can also serve as the captain of the Divine Commando Team!"
"What? No, my emperor, by all means, this kid's origin is unknown, his identity is unknown, and he also injured the chief elder of the Guards Sect, no matter what, he can't be allowed to hold such an important position!"
"Yes, please think twice!"
“”
The middle-aged man offered such tempting conditions, not only Hua Lei did not allow it, but even everyone behind the middle-aged man spoke out one after another.
However, the middle-aged man didn't seem to hear all this, and then said to Cheng Xia: "However, I also have a condition!"
"Hehe" smiled, Cheng Xia also learned the tone of the middle-aged man and said, "You say"
Such rude behavior naturally made everyone dissatisfied, but the middle-aged man didn't care, just smiled slightly, and then said: "I want you to help me want the weapons of my commando team members to be no worse than the weapons that Xiao Nizi left just now!"
"What? Why don't you grab it?"
Hearing the middle-aged man make such a critical request, Cheng Xia almost scolded, but thinking of the current situation, he hesitated again, thought about it for a long time, and then nodded silently, and then said: "Things can be given to you, even technology, but you have to ensure my safety, and at the same time give me a certain amount of space." ”
This was said in a fog, and everyone present accidentally understood it, but the middle-aged man listened to it and muttered for a long time before he said solemnly: "As long as you can let my Jinliang Empire regain its strength, the empire will live and die with you!"
"What? my emperor, this, child's play, this is child's play, how can you let the empire live and die with this kid?"
“”
Behind him, a noisy exhortation like a crow's bird came, and the middle-aged man was not moved, but just looked at Cheng Xia solemnly.
Feeling the heavy breath in the middle-aged man's eyes, Cheng Xia inexplicably remembered the deceased old general, it seems that only such a person can really take the rise and fall of the empire to heart, and only such a person can do things that ordinary people dare not do for the empire
Silent for a long time, in the expectant gaze of the middle-aged man, Cheng Xia finally nodded slowly, only now, he remembered something, and only then did he firm up something, before, if he was powerful, the people of the family would dare to force himself to die so blatantly? If he is powerful, he will hide in Tibet and dare not reveal his identity? If he is powerful, will he let Xiao Nizi leave alone? After the middle-aged man's nudge, Cheng Xia finally strengthened his belief in establishing power, and Jin Liang, this legendary empire, is the goal he wants to fight for (to be continued)
