What he was facing at this moment was a cold-blooded and ruthless devil. He had no other choice but to bow his head, confess his guilt, and kneel down to beg for mercy.
"Master, please spare my life..."
Although the man in black was timid and scared to death, he couldn't cry and make a scene like those people in the human world, because he knew the temper of his master. The most he could do was die, clean and tidy. If he displeased him, it would not be as simple as death.
"Since you have admitted your guilt, you know what to do." The voice was clearly right beside my ear, but it sounded a little ethereal. After saying that, he threw a confession book towards the kneeling position of the man in black. What was written on the paper was exactly what the man in black had just confessed, but the only difference was that all the guilt was borne by him alone.
He knew that once he signed the confession, he would surely die, but now he had no choice but to sign.
Well, if his death could bring peace to his loved ones, he would be content.
I bit my finger hard, then used the flowing blood as ink and signed my name with great pain...
The howling wind suddenly stopped, the dense clouds dispersed, and the sun came out again, shining brightly with golden light.
Perhaps the sunlight was too dazzling, which dazzled the man in black. After his eyes went dark, he slowly woke up.
It was still the same room, and the person in front of him was still Dugu Yingcheng, but there was something extra in Dugu Yingcheng's hand, which looked unusually familiar.
That's right, it was the confession he had just signed. It explained everything clearly, including the missing persons case. As long as this thing was made public, Tianze's crisis would naturally be resolved, and their conspiracy would also be shattered.
Looking at everything familiar around him, he gradually came to his senses.
"How dare you plot against me?" Damn it, he actually fell for it. But how is this possible? Those low-level medicinal herbs in the human world should have no effect on him? How could he fall into hallucination? What on earth was going on here
But the most important thing now is not to find out the whole story, but to destroy the confession he just signed. Otherwise, it would be really bad.
"Dugu Yingcheng, you are so brave!" The pride in his bones did not allow him to be humble in front of a tiny human being, so even though he knew that he was being set up, his tone was as strong as ever.
Dugu Yingcheng lowered his eyebrows and smiled faintly, "Thank you for the praise, sir. I am indeed very brave!" When he said the last word, his tone gradually became sharp.
"Dugu Yingcheng, hello! You are very good! But you seem to have forgotten that Di Shitian, your most beloved king, is still in my hands."
Dugu Yingcheng became stronger, and the arrogant attitude of the man in black did not diminish at all. Their eyes collided in the air, bursting out sparks.
Outsiders only know that Dugu Yingcheng is resourceful, but they ignore that he is not only a civil official, but also a brave and skilled military general.
"Your Excellency is worrying too much. I have a good memory and I will not forget this matter." Dugu Yingcheng's tone sounded very casual, as if he didn't care about the issue he cared about at all. Dugu Yingcheng's attitude made the man in black feel uneasy.
There is an old saying that goes, "If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth." This kind of behavior of forgetting righteousness for the sake of profit is common in their spiritual world, let alone in the human world. He has seen many people who are blinded by greed, forget righteousness, and betray their companions in the past few days. He thought that this Dugu Film City could be unconventional, but now it seems...
But if he just wanted fame and fortune, then everything would be much simpler.
"Tell me, what do you want?" After figuring it out, the man in black spoke first.
Dugu Yingcheng had sat down on the chair leisurely without him noticing, sipping his tea.
Before he came up, he had asked about the relationship between Dugu Yingcheng and Emperor Shitian, but it was a pity that those rubbish were really useless and couldn't even do such a small thing as collecting intelligence. Otherwise, how could he have fallen to this point.
I really don't know what kind of drug Dugu Yingcheng gave me, which not only made him hallucinate, but also made him feel weak all over. Damn it!
"Your Excellency is indeed a smart man." Holding the teacup in one hand and pinching the tea lid with the other, he fiddled with the steaming tea in a good mood.
Just then, a shout suddenly came from below.
"Sir! What's the situation up there? Do we need to go in?" They felt a little uneasy because they hadn't seen the envoy come out for a long time.
Although the man in black is cruel and bloodthirsty, he is also the backbone of all of them at this moment.
If it weren't for the leadership of this adult, they really wouldn't have the courage to fight against Emperor Shi Tian.
Hearing the noise downstairs, Dugu Yingcheng leisurely put down his teacup and raised his sword-like eyebrows, "Sir, you should first settle your people, otherwise how can we have a good conversation."
If it was normal, if someone dared to speak so arrogantly in front of him, he would make sure that he would not see the sun tomorrow. But now, let alone spiritual power, he could not even use normal physical strength, so he could only seek self-protection first.
"I'm fine, you guys stay where you are." He held his breath and shouted downstairs, "Tell me, what do you want? Fame or profit, just tell me. As long as you don't hurt me and don't interfere with my plan, I will naturally satisfy you. Since you don't care about the life or death of Emperor Shi Tian, then I guess you want his kingdom. If that's all, then I can agree to you now. To tell you the truth, I'm not someone you can touch, and we have different desires. I only want the imperial seal, as for the rest, you can take whatever you want."
Listening to the words of the man in black, Dugu Yingcheng smiled faintly without saying anything. He kept this expression from beginning to end, making it hard to figure out what he was thinking. This also made the man in black feel a little flustered.
After all, this was the first time he failed in the human world. Although he still hadn't figured out the reason, he always felt that the man in front of him was very dangerous.
The ancient city stood tall in the wind, like a towering mountain guarding Tianze. On the city wall, the soldiers were ready to shoot, staring at the enemy below who were eyeing them covetously. Downstairs, the coalition forces of the seven countries were ready to go, ready to come in and share the fat meat of Tianze at any time.
"Speak up, what do you want?" The quieter it was, the more uneasy it became. The man in black always felt uneasy when he saw Dugu Yingcheng's indifferent smile.
He had always been the butcher and others were the meat, but he didn't expect the positions to be reversed now. It was really unpleasant to be put on the chopping board and guess what his fate would be.
Knowing that the time was almost right, Dugu Yingcheng spoke quietly: "What the lord said is not entirely true. I do want power. But it's not just Tianze."
"Do you want me to help you annex other countries?" This man has a really big appetite, but as long as he asks for something, things will be easy.
"I guess what you think is not quite right. I wanted to say that we should unify the eight kingdoms!" He said this in a rhythmic way, but the ending was light and flirtatious. It was a matter as serious as Mount Tai, but he just brushed it off in one sentence. The relaxed tone was like saying that the weather was really nice today, and people couldn't believe what they heard.
Indeed, it surprised the men in black.
Unify the eight countries!
This appetite is really huge.
This Dugu Yingcheng is really a person who doesn't know whether to live or die.
Not to mention the agreement between him and the other seven countries, even if he wanted to defeat the other seven countries now, it would take a lot of effort. In order to act secretly, he did not bring too many people with him this time. It is almost impossible to achieve the goal by his own strength! But apart from using force, is there any other way to achieve Dugu Yingcheng's requirements
You can't ask him to go and talk to the emperors of the seven countries and ask them to give up the throne, change their titles to princes, and submit to Tianze.
This is simply not enough to describe it as ridiculous.
"Dugu Yingcheng, are you kidding me? You want to unify the eight countries? If we agree to your request, wouldn't we be treacherous?" Besides, he had already reached a deal with others. Even if it was his turn, it would not be Dugu Yingcheng's turn to be the leader of the eight countries!
"Why not? Is there anything impossible for you, sir? Anyway, those people downstairs are nothing but clowns in front of you. The emperors of the seven nations? Huh? If my guess is correct, as long as Tianze falls, they will not survive for a few days."
One after another, they attacked Tianze. The funny thing was that they didn't know that Tianze was their last life-saving barrier. As long as Tianze fell, the man behind him would jump out and destroy them all. No one could stop him.
The black-clad man's mood at this moment could no longer be described as surprised.
During the short time he spent with Dugu Yingcheng, he constantly refreshed his understanding of those mortals. Dugu Yingcheng was worthy of the title of think tank, and everything he guessed was not only just right, but also had no deviation.
Although he thought he had done it perfectly, there were still clues left for Dugu Yingcheng to ponder.
"That's right. I cannot agree to your request because I have already made an appointment with someone. It's not that I don't want to be a traitor, but that person holds a clue that my master needs to know. So, either you change your request or kill me. But you have to think clearly. After you kill me, you will not only face the enemy downstairs. My master's wrath is something that even your entire Tianhe Continent cannot bear!"
The pride in his bones could not be wiped out in a short time. Although he was not as confident as before, it would be a lie to say that he had no fear at all.
