"Liu Xun, you..." Lin Shichen and Liu Xun now have a wonderful relationship. Although they cannot speak verbally, they can communicate in their hearts.
Liu Xun smiled and said in his heart, "I'm sorry, Brother Lin, I accept your Wuxiang fate, and your world... I also accept it! But don't worry, although I, Liu Xun, don't have Brother Lin's ambitions, and I'm not suitable to be a presidential figure, there will always be a suitable candidate in Langlang China, don't you think?"
"Have you come here with the intention of controlling me from the beginning?" Lin Shichen is not an ordinary person. He can feel that he is controlled by Liu Xun. It can be said that... now he is Liu Xun's puppet. Whatever Liu Xun wants him to do or say... he has to do it!
Liu Xun smiled and said in his heart: "You also know that the revolutionary army's military power is really no match for the World Government. After the fall of Tianwai Tian, although the world thought that we were evenly matched, it was not the case. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this world... already belongs to the World Government."
At this point, Liu Xun poured tea for Lin Shichen and continued, "But I am unwilling. Why should China, which I fought so hard to protect, join the World Government? And be governed by the World Government?"
"Brother Lin, your idea is great, but too naive! All countries in the world coexist peacefully? Bound by one law? Is it realistic? Such a wonderful thing can only be thought of! The general trend of the world is that after a long period of division, there will be unification, and after a long period of unification, there will be division! Maybe now it is the world government, but what about in the future? Who can know what will happen in the future?"
"Isn't the United Nations an example? After being passed down for thousands of years, didn't it still turn into a cup of dust due to changes in the world pattern?" Liu Xun said, sighed, looked at the tea in the cup, and fell silent.
"Then what do you want to do? Control me? And then get the whole world?" Lin Shichen looked at Liu Xun calmly. Even though he was in this situation, he was not panicked at all.
Liu Xun shook his head, nodded, and said: "Indeed, I must control you, but the time I can control you will definitely not be too long, just a few months. After a few months, you will die! You must die, otherwise... this war will be meaningless!"
"A long time ago, when we met, I had a premonition in my heart that you and I... would have a day of war, and one of us would have to die! I'm sorry, I don't want to die, so... you have to die!"
After the words fell, Lin Shichen smiled in his heart and said calmly: "I remembered an incident in the Three Kingdoms, where the emperor was held hostage to control the princes! Actually, think about it... It's very similar to the situation now, except that the characters are changed."
"Wrong." Liu Xun shook his head and retorted: "You may be the emperor, but I, Liu Xun, am definitely not Cao Cao! At least my future will be different from his."
"Haha..." Lin Shichen laughed in his heart. After he finished laughing, he sighed and said, "It really is true what the old saying says. Being a hero... will not end well. Since ancient times, those who have accomplished great things... have all been heroes!"
"You misunderstood again!" Liu Xun retorted: "A friend of mine once said that a tyrant is actually a kind of hero, but a tyrant is a hero that is not easy to tame. He has ambitions and is not bound by the world, so they are called tyrants! And heroes... you should know better than anyone else!"
This is what Shi Meng once said to Liu Xun, and now Liu Xun gave this sentence to Lin Shichen!
Not far away, a figure slowly appeared, walking towards Liu Xun and Lin Shichen step by step. When she appeared, everyone gasped, because... no one noticed her presence!
Liu Xun also felt someone approaching and looked towards the figure. When he saw the figure, his expression was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he sighed.
"It's you!" Liu Xun looked at the figure and frowned. He had thought it would be her, but seeing her with his own eyes... he was still a little shocked.
"So what if it's me?" A figure stepped onto the bluestone platform. She was wearing a white dress and had a perfect face that did not belong to this world. She was like a poem or a dream, ethereal and illusory.
"It was me who wiped out the corpse army of Tianwai Tian, and then used this as a condition to let Lin Shichen take your life! The person you should take revenge on is me, not him!" The figure was Shi Meng. At this moment, she looked at Liu Xun and said in a cold voice.
"Is that so?" Liu Xun fell silent, looked at the familiar face, and asked: "Will you be happier if I die?"
After she finished speaking, Shi Meng frowned. She did not have as many thoughts as humans. She only knew to love when she should love and hate when she should hate. She was as pure as white snow.
On the day when the Three Gorges Dam collapsed, she asked Liu Xun to choose between the people of the world and her! Liu Xun couldn't choose, as it was a difficult decision for anyone, but Liu Xun still chose the people.
So Shi Meng was full of resentment towards Liu Xun. This was a basic feeling of heartache. If she were a human, she might understand Liu Xun's difficulties! But she was not. She only knew in her heart that... this man did not value her.
"My life is here. If you want, you can take it anytime. After all, I owe you a life! After you take it, Lin Shichen's confinement will naturally be lifted, but unfortunately... the Wuxiang fate can never be restored." Liu Xun closed his eyes and said softly.
Shi Meng remained silent. Di Yi and Yan Chong looked at each other and did not intervene. At this moment, Shi Meng walked up to Liu Xun and said coldly: "I gave you two choices before, and I will give you two choices again today!"
"You say." Liu Xun opened his eyes and said seriously.
"I've already discovered that I can't bring myself to kill you, so I asked Lin Shichen to kill you! The first choice is that you continue with your work, but I will disappear, and we will never see each other again! The second choice is to give up everything you have now and live in seclusion with me in Kunlun Mountain."
After Shi Meng finished speaking, Liu Xun was stunned for a moment, and Di Yi and Yan Chong, who were not far away, also frowned. The meaning of this sentence was very simple, which was to let Liu Xun make a choice, either give up this world, or... lose this woman!
"Why do you let me make this choice?" Liu Xun looked at Shi Meng and asked with a smile.
"What? Is it difficult to decide? I'll give you one minute to think about it. If you still don't give me an answer after one minute, then... it means you chose the first option!" Shi Meng looked at Liu Xun with cold eyes. This is her personality. Once she makes up her mind, it is difficult to change it. (To be continued)
