Chapter 367: Two Options
When everyone speculated about how Zhaoming would retaliate for the knife back then, the person concerned did something that surprised everyone: to visit Chigang as a general under Chigang Zhaoming, not under Emperor Jun. And the tone of the letter is still to call the king of ox ears a king.
Chigang, red is still red, like fire and blood, not far from the mountain, a huge crater rushed out of the billowing heat, people dare not get too close. In the past, Zhaoming triggered the earth fire to kill General Bai Yuxi and smash the Chibo Flame Stone Mine Cave, which has now become a scenery that many demon clans in the South Dragon Cave talk about.
Around Chigang, the army lined up, waving flags, it seems to be magnificent, but there is no military momentum like mountains and seas.
On the top of Chigang Mountain, a stone table is placed in the middle, and the minotaur sits down at one end of the stone table, with a serious face. The green wolf demon and the black roe deer demon were on one side, also expressionless, waiting quietly. Everyone knew that the time had come to decide the future of Chigang.
After waiting for a long time, a figure came from the west, with fluttering clothes and sword eyebrows and starry eyes, which was Zhaoming.
The discussion of the demon clan in the Southern Dragon Cave, he naturally knew the Tao, and it was undeniable that he had also experienced a fierce struggle in his heart.
In the past, he was slashed in anger, and then he was invited to fight by General Jinwen, and he left after the exhaustion of the most demented, if he said that there was no hatred in his heart, it was naturally a lie, and the only thing he was not sure about was how strong this hatred was.
I haven't been doing anything to Chigang, just because I am struggling in my heart. He is now returning with a bit of a strong return, or a sense of returning home, if he wins Chigang strongly, he can naturally raise his eyebrows and be high-spirited.
It's just that something in his heart influences, principles or bottom lines tell him that he doesn't feel like it should be like this, so he keeps hesitating.
The death of more than 500,000 demon clans made Zhaoming think about it for more than ten days. The sheer number, like a mountain coming down, made him suddenly feel that what he was struggling with and hesitating about became insignificant.
What about raising your eyebrows, what about returning to your hometown, fighting with the same clan, even if it is a cloud cover. Bloody kills thousands of miles, and the last to die is still the demon clan. There is no difference from the dragon and phoenix catastrophe of the past, the relatives are painful, and the enemies are fast.
Emperor Jun entered the Skyrim Ridge, and it was his purpose to hand over this place to him in the best way, so why should he care about what he had encountered. At least compared to everything the Wics have ever done, what the Minotaur did was nothing.
Getting closer and closer to Chigang, the three kings of Chigang can already be seen, and Zhaoming's brows are beating slightly. Even if he has adjusted his mentality in the past ten days, he feels his heart tremble slightly.
Falling on the mountain, the slight waves in his heart have calmed down, Zhaoming looked at the minotaur and smiled slightly, and bowed again: "Zhaoming has seen the king." ”
"Sit!" said the minotaur coldly.
He didn't expect Zhaoming to make such a decision, or come in person. He originally held the heart of Ning Weiyu to be broken rather than complete, and it was as if a fist full of strength hit the cotton wool, which was extremely weak.
Zhaoming shook his head: "The two kings and the three kings are not seated. Zhaoming dared to sit. ”
The minotaur said expressionlessly: "Don't say this, you are now on the expedition for Emperor Jun." Dignified General Zhaoming, how can I compare with Chigang. ”
Zhaoming looked at the minotaur for a moment, didn't say a word, and then sighed for a while before he said: "When I first met the king, I was impressed by the king's majestic posture and volunteered to join Chigang. I have always done my best, hoping to contribute to the king's dream......"
"Do your best!" The minotaur sneered: "Do your best is to calculate the fourth child and use General Bai Yuxi to kill him?"
Zhao Ming looked at the Minotaur, pursed his lips, and then spoke: "King." Although the situation between the four kings and Zhaoming in the past was not big, there are a few people who don't know about it during this period. Zhaoming dared to ask, if Zhaoming hadn't killed the four kings that day, what would have been the result?"
The minotaur frowned and did not answer.
Zhaoming continued: "The result is nothing more than two, it is very likely that the four kings could not bear it anymore and used some methods to secretly kill me and Shura. The other result is that Shura and I are strong enough to be fearless of any of his means, but unfortunately there is too little time. ”
"If Shura and I are killed by the four kings, what will the king do? You will punish him, but you will not kill him, just like for me, although you are angry in your heart, but you just force me away. ”
"If the king has to ask me why I killed the four kings, I can only say: Zhaoming is not afraid of death, but my brother Shura can't die, so I can only kill him. ”
"I, Chigang, was already poor and white, and I started at the end of Weimo, and I lost the four kings because of this kind of thing. If you feel dangerous, tell me, why do that!" asked the minotaur exclaimed.
Zhaoming sighed, and then bowed to the Minotaur: "I'm sorry King, I was wrong about this matter, but it is absolutely impossible for me to pay for my life." I owe this matter to the king, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will make up for it. ”
Sometimes the change of mentality, the effect is indescribable. If it had been, Zhao Ming would have argued with the Minotaur to make it clear who was right and who was wrong, but at the moment it felt insignificant. The four kings are dead, they are alive, Chigang has reached a critical moment, and the characters who make this decision are himself and the Minotaur, even if he admits his mistake, what if he admits his mistake?
After all, the Jackal Demon is the sworn brother of the Minotaur after all, just like Emperor Jun, Shura and himself. No matter who harmed them, and no matter what the reason, I will definitely help them avenge it.
Looking back, in the face of the same clan, the honor and disgrace of one person is nothing, as long as it does not touch his bottom line, if he can exchange for a harmonious piece of Nanlong Cave, he can get it.
Zhao Ming calmly admitted his mistake, made the minotaur brow soothe slightly, and paused for a moment before asking, "What do you want to do today?"
Zhaoming smiled slightly, and asked: "I once wanted to do my part for the king's ambition, but I never asked: King, what do you want to have your own territory and become a demon king?"
The Minotaur said: "No one doesn't want to make themselves stronger, and no one doesn't want to make their rights greater, if there is a chance, who doesn't want to have their own power, if they can go further, who doesn't want to achieve the great achievements of the former Demon Emperor?"
"Maybe!" Zhao Ming nodded: "Most people think like this, but there are a few people who don't. It's like General Bai Ze of Abbot Island, who is not called the king, and he can see his will. ”
"If you don't claim to be king, you don't have ambitions?"
"Maybe!" Zhao Ming smiled faintly, and did not argue.
Having been to Abbot Island and experienced some things, especially the election of Emperor Jun to take over Skyline Ridge, Zhaoming felt that Bai Ze really had no ambitions, and all kinds of feelings told him that Bai Ze was not so much a demon king as a military advisor.
After a pause, he continued: "In the years since I left Chigang, I have been to many places and seen many things that I have never heard of. The situation of the demon clan is even more sinister than I expected when I was in Skyrim Ridge, and in this era of strength, wanting to be king is not just a matter of ambition. ”
"Are you saying that I am not strong enough and have no qualifications?" The minotaur immediately turned cold, and his tone became extremely unkind as before.
Zhaoming shook his head: "I have never underestimated the king, and I also think that the future of the king should be infinitely ambitious, but now it is indeed a little behind." It's not that the king himself is behind him, it's that the time is not with me. ”
"I haven't experienced the era of millions of years ago, and I don't know how the Demon Clan was established back then, but I believe one thing, even if the Demon Emperor is not strong enough, he is not qualified to be called the Emperor of the Royal Dao. ”
"Could it be that Emperor Jun has it?" the minotaur asked rhetorically.
Zhaoming shook his head: "I can't say clearly, after all, I have limited knowledge, how can I evaluate." But I agree with my eldest brother's matter, before I have enough strength, I might as well hide under the aura of others, and wait until I have enough strength to do what I want. ”
"My eldest brother has the ambition of the world, so that the demon clan can return to the Flood Continent and restore its former glory. The king's ambitions are similar, but no one knows whether he can succeed. ”
"Looking at the various demon kings today, most of them were not the generals of the True Dragon, Phoenix and Qilin clans thousands of years ago, at that time, they did not say that they were nameless, but they were also covered by the light of the three royal families and even more powerful people. Looking back on those days, who would have thought that they would have such a big impact on the demon clan?"
"The king has the ambition of the world, and it is not necessarily impossible to learn from them. The tiger roaring mountain forest first lies in the grassy hills, and the Dapeng spreads its wings and first lies in the north of the underworld. ”
The words came from the bottom of his heart, even the minotaur with a hostile mentality changed affectionately and slightly, obviously moved by Zhaoming's words. But he has a stubborn personality, how could he let Zhaoming speak so easily, paused for a moment and asked word by word: "What if I don't agree?"
"The king doesn't need to be so hostile to me, I'm here today purely for Chigang. Zhaoming shook his head and said, "I've been thinking about this matter these days, and there are only two plans left. ”
"First, the king has joined my eldest brother's command, and I will definitely let my eldest brother try to meet any needs. Over the years, I have truly realized that to be a good king, it is not only about strength, but also on other things. You can come and see how my eldest brother becomes a king as a bystander. If you are right, you can learn it, and if you are wrong, you can avoid it later. ”
"Second, if the king is unwilling to join, then I will do my best to let my eldest brother leave Chigang for you. From now on, the affairs of Chigang will be decided by you alone, and you will be another king within the Sky Ridge, just like the existence of Wanjiang. ”
"As long as the king doesn't use the sword first, my eldest brother will never use force against Chigang. ”
A country within a country is the biggest concession that Zhaoming can do.
When the Minotaur was surprised by Zhaoming's whole decision, Zhaoming stood up and bowed deeply to the Minotaur.
"King, for the future of Chigang, for the future of Skyrim Ridge, and even for the future of the demon clan, Zhaoming begs you, don't choose the second one. (To be continued......)
