It's the age of cyber, and you're still a traditional villain?

Chapter 298 So is this actually just a part of your Play?

"Who is Cheng Gujian?"

When Xu Shi said this, everyone else suddenly looked like they had seen a ghost.

What happened to you, my treasure?

Amnesia?Or did something go wrong just now during the one-on-one competition with that saint?
Not to mention the people who went to sea with Xu Shi, these people who came later were also worried - after the communication was established, everyone has been in contact. Regarding the basic situation of the Hualan Empire, the people in Night Sin City are also worried. Everyone knows it.

"Xu bastard, are you okay? Did you knock your head?!"

Miss Black Rabbit was the first to rush over and said with anxious concern, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, even if you become a fool, I will not abandon you..."

"... Go ahead and hope that I will become a fool, right?"

Xu Shi glanced at her eyebrows and flicked them.

It's just to liven up the atmosphere, but you didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain?
He dared to say that he had become stupid today, but he didn't dare to think about what he would say tomorrow.

However, it is true that the focus was all on the Holy See, which led him to be a little bit behind the scenes.

If it weren't for the news about Xia Wuyou, he might not have remembered so quickly that besides the Holy See, he had always had another potential opponent.

Yes.

The result of "Heavenly Law"'s treatment of this land is that it is abandoned, so naturally everything will continue on its original track.

Cheng Gujian's side is obviously paying close attention to all this. Now that there is no check and balance from the Holy See, or the old pope, of course his good brother will not let go of this opportunity. If he doesn't cause trouble now, when will he cause trouble?
It was expected that he would start a rebellion. After all, Lao Cheng was now a very popular minister, and the only thing that attracted him was probably the position of emperor.

"...*Civilized Phrase*, why do you feel like you're being used by this guy?"

The little black rabbit suddenly lost his thoughts on taking care of his stupid husband and puffed up his cheeks angrily.

This is clearly about picking peaches!They had just finished the exhausting battle with the Holy See, and had not seen any support from Cheng Gujian.

At most, they are just some guards in the Cat Church church. What use can they be?

As a result, I didn't even take a breath, but the connection was already seamless. Who wouldn't be angry?

Xu Shi is not angry.

"Look, I'm in a hurry."

He just smiled nonchalantly and praised Grumpy Rabbit by the way, "But it can be seen that he is being used by others, so he has made great progress."

"What kind of progress is this? Isn't it difficult to see it?"

Gu Yi retorted disdainfully, with a little pride in her tone, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

"To tell you the truth, your grandpa and I learned a lot while you were away, okay?"

Xu Shi chose to look at her with pity.

How did this child learn to climb along the pole?The fact is that if you have to be taught by others to figure out this kind of thing, it can only be said that it is difficult not to be a fool.

It's obvious that Miss Black Rabbit's talent points are all focused on hacking, and her partiality can be said to be quite severe.

Pan Ling on the side felt the same way.

She didn't have much contact with Gu Yi. In the past, she always heard her master say that she was cute and silly, and her little apprentice thought it was just a doting adjective.

Now it seems...it doesn't seem to be?
One thing is that maybe because of the close age difference, when she first met Gu Yi, she felt that she was more like a sister than a mistress.

Why is she a stupid sister again?

Why?Why do I say again?

Just when she was still feeling unfortunate about her interpersonal relationship, Xu Shi's problems had been put aside.

"Come on, silly disciple, tell me, what should I do now?"

Boss Xu, who calls himself the best master in the world, never misses any good opportunity to educate his apprentices.

"Hey?"

Pan Ling was stunned for a moment when she heard that the problem was thrown to her.

But she soon gave her answer.

"Then... let nature take its course?"

"Not specific enough, please expand on it."

Xu Shi asked.

"It's literally."

Pan Ling blinked, "Anyway, master, you have arranged everything, haven't you?"

"……How did you get it?"

This time, Xu Shi was a little surprised and continued to ask after a moment.

"Because I don't see what you have to worry about, master."

The silly disciple had something to say, and also used some new vocabulary he learned from Xu Shi, "Besides, master, you are a person who must retaliate. If this matter really exceeded your estimate, how could you behave so miraculously?" Tie?"

She followed Xu Shi in the crusade against Poseidon, and she still vividly remembers how the bad master dealt with the Holy See.

As long as someone dares to put an idea on his head, he will be considered merciful if he doesn't let the other person shed a layer of skin.

As for Cheng Gujian, he and his master had become estranged from each other a long time ago. It was understandable that he needed to regain his consciousness just after coming out of the "liminal space", but he would not be wary of him only at this time.

Now that he was behind him, Xu Shi didn't seem to be panicking at all.

Even the other mistresses didn't panic, and their expressions showed their hearts in their stomachs, which further proved this point.

Even the furious Gu Shiniang was only angry at being "used" and didn't care whether Cheng Gujian would pose a threat to Xu Shi. Doesn't this explain the problem?

so.

"You have already made arrangements, right? Even... before today's confrontation begins?"

"It's okay, not too stupid."

After getting the answer he wanted, Xu Shi nodded with satisfaction, "Not mind-reading?"

"Master, are you looking down on me too much? This is completely unnecessary, okay..."

Pan Ling couldn't help complaining. She always listened to her master's words and tried not to rely on her abilities.

Facts have proved that this method is very effective. Now she can analyze a lot by observing words and expressions. Only when she gets to the specific details can she use her ability to read other people's minds.

This is the best proof that she can freely expand and contract her abilities. In contrast, her mind-reading skills have also been improved through this kind of training.

One thing to say is that when she first met Xu Shi, she was really interested in reading the master's mind. After all, Xu Shi was different from others, and even if she could read it, she couldn't understand it completely.

But now...it seems like I don't have that kind of worldly desire anymore.

Once the habit becomes natural, it belongs to yes.

"Too."

Xu Shi agreed, "In that case, let's go step by step and deal with the mess here before going to the palace."

As Pan Ling said, how could he really let Cheng Gujian take advantage of him casually and use his own efforts to pave the way for him?
There was already a big gift waiting for him.

"As for you...you have made great progress now, so I will give you a reward."

He continued leisurely, "If you are willing in the future, it wouldn't hurt to read my teacher's heart."

"……real?!"

Pan Ling couldn't believe her ears and even had to confirm it again.

"If you ask again, it will be false."

"Thank you master!"

The silly apprentice was very happy, because she knew that this reward was a kind of recognition from the master.

Or maybe the fact that she could read Xu Shi's mind was a happy thing for her.

It seems impossible to say that she has no worldly desires at all. It can only be said that she has now learned to control her own abilities and will no longer be influenced by them.

But it is definitely a great thing to listen to the master's voice.

So she couldn't wait to try reading minds.

Xu Shi also kept his promise and took the initiative to open up his defenses, ensuring that she would definitely hear what he was thinking.

then.

[You just used the word "Ji Zhui will retaliate," right?Is this the image of being a teacher in your mind? 】

【Traitor!As a punishment, you are not allowed to eat tonight! 】

...?

It took Pan Ling a long time to come back to her senses.

So is this actually just a part of your Play?

But I have to say that her psychological quality is also very good now. At least she has learned to resist the master's power.

"It's late at night, Master."

She tried to reason with Xu Shi, "I can skip dinner."

I think your image is still useful?Do you dare to say that you are not such a person? !
【right?How about saving tomorrow's meal too? 】

"……Yes."

The struggle failed, and the foolish disciple wanted to cry but had no tears.

……

The words are divided into two parts.

Unlike Xu Shi who ended the battle with ease, the palace is now in a state of tension.

"Your Majesty! Grand Duke Gu Jian, cough, the traitor Cheng Gu Jian has raised his troops to rebel!"

"what?!"

The little queen, who was already anxious, was suddenly startled, and her hands trembled unconsciously.

Her uneasiness actually came from Xu Shi. Of course she also knew about the war between the other party and the Holy See.

Frankly speaking, of course she prefers Xu Shiying. Who wants the two of them to be tied to the same boat now?

It's a pity that before Xu Shi's good news came, he had to wait for the news that Cheng Gujian forced the palace.

This is undoubtedly a huge blow to her. After all, with her own strength, she will definitely not be able to compete with the strongest person who has been entrenched in the empire for many years.

It would be a lie to say that I am not afraid, especially at such a time when I am often too busy to do anything.

It's no wonder that the speed of information transmission is getting slower and slower. Under such circumstances, how can she have the opportunity to keep abreast of the situation in the Holy See?

But at the same time, she suddenly felt more calm about accepting her fate.

Is it surprising that Cheng Gujian rebelled?Obviously not.

It can be said that from the moment she was no longer that ignorant girl, she knew that such a day would come sooner or later.

But this day came earlier than she expected.

Then the problem is coming.

What should she do?
"Your Majesty...run!"

The female officer next to her was frightened and kept trying to dissuade her, "Cheng Gujian has begun to surround the palace. He has also sent soldiers and horses to guard the residences of the other dukes and earls. There are even soldiers from other places. First……"

How could Dongfang Xiao not know about all this?

In fact, as long as you concentrate carefully now, you can hear the sounds of soldiers and horses outside the palace, as well as the rebellious words of the rebels.

"Want to run?"

She muttered something.

"His Majesty!"

The female officer beside her was quite loyal. She even broke her voice in anxiety, "If you don't run away, it will be too late!"

This is indeed true. It will take time to surround the palace, and they still have a chance to evacuate.

But once the palace was completely surrounded, it was useless to say anything.

As for resistance, there is no need to think about it. The royal knights trained by Cheng Gujian personally and the quality of his own private soldiers are frightening. It is impossible to solve the rebellion with just the guards in the palace.

Before, you could borrow the power of Xu Shi, the imperial master, but now he himself can't escape, and it's unrealistic to place hope on him.

The only way to go is to run away. There are secret passages in the palace that are not known to outsiders. Dress up in disguise and save your life first.

If you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of having no firewood.

This is also no way.

only.

At the critical moment of life and death, the little queen suddenly seemed to have awakened and made some terrible determination.

"I won't go!"

Her tone suddenly rose, and she took out the sword that was usually only used as a decoration and hung on the side with her backhand, "Even if I die, I will die here!"

She admitted that she was partly angry, but mostly she didn't want to be a loser again and again.

Throughout her career as a queen, she was either manipulated by Cheng Gujian or Xu Shi. Regardless of what others thought, she herself felt aggrieved by this puppet emperor.

But she is of Tian family blood after all!The imperial spirit engraved in your bones will never fade away!
Even if you can save your life by running away, what's the use?

In the future, when people mention her, she will only be a laughing stock.

So, even though she knew there was no chance of winning, she didn't want to back down anymore.

At least when it comes to death, she can let herself die with some dignity.

"His Majesty!"

The female officer was extremely anxious. Why should she be a hero at this time? !
"If you want to leave, you leave, I won't leave!"

Dongfang Xiao shouted, "Assemble all the people in the palace to resist desperately. I will fight the traitors until the last moment!"

"When the time comes, I will end it on my own. I am ashamed of the foundation laid by my ancestors, but at least I did not destroy their bloodline!"

"……Yes!"

Seeing that she could not be persuaded, the female officer had no choice but to do as she asked.

When she hurriedly gathered troops and horses, the little queen collapsed again, and the hand holding the sword couldn't help trembling.

After all, when you are really facing death, it would be a lie to say you are not afraid.

Sitting alone in the empty hall, this fear can easily be magnified infinitely.

She suddenly felt helpless.

Why does it still become like this?Even though you have given so much, you still can't change anything?
Before Xu Shi came, he had been in panic all day long. But when Xu Shi came, he pinched his nose and accepted his bad taste training, and still had to be forced into the palace. Didn't he come here in vain?

Listening to the fighting outside the hall, she suddenly felt like crying.

But she can't cry.

At least don't let your enemies see your cowardly side.

The battle outside didn't last long. The strength gap between the two sides was too great, and the fight was completely one-sided.

It didn't take much for Dongfang Xiao to know that Cheng Gujian's men must have gained the upper hand, and the wind was blowing like a broken bamboo.

And soon.

A dim light of fire appeared on the glass of the hall, swaying along with the rebels' shouts of "please abdicate, your majesty".

Looking at all this, the little queen felt a little dazed.

When he came back to his senses, the most annoying person was already standing in front of him.

"The weather has changed, and your Majesty's virtue is not worthy of the throne. Please take the initiative to take the throne."

Cheng Gujian, who was wearing a black cloak, was as calm as ever. He turned away his subordinates and looked at Dongfang Xiao expressionlessly, "If your majesty takes the initiative to abdicate, for the sake of the late emperor, I guarantee that your majesty will be wealthy and worry-free for the rest of his life."

This is not a discussion, but a notice.

"……Is it?"

The little queen slowly raised her head and met his gaze.

However, this time she didn't avoid it reflexively like usual.

Instead, she gave a sneer.

"Is this what you, the rebellious traitor, are going to say?"

She stood up, clenched her sword tightly, and shouted without caring about her image, "Then just listen!"

"I'll quit your mother!"
