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

Chapter 312: Have you had enough eavesdropping, little maid?
Like everyone who wakes up from a big dream, Lu Baiyan was still a little confused when he saw Xu Shi in front of him.

"When?"

His narrowed eyes rarely widened a bit, and he murmured softly.

Immediately seeing the various tubes inserted into his body, he struggled subconsciously again, "This is it?"

"Are you awake?"

Xu Shi smiled and said, "I'm sorry, we didn't survive the battle with the Holy See. This is heaven."

Although he didn't know if there was a term for heaven in the culture of the Hualan Empire, he still chose to use this term to make a joke.

"...Brother Xu, please stop teasing me."

Lu Baiyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled back, "You can't fool me with this kind of joke."

He has not forgotten what happened before, and he has his own estimation of who will win and who will lose, and he absolutely does not believe that Xu Shi will lose.

It's very possible that he died, but as for Xu Shi... it's unlikely.

If Xu Shi is still alive now, of course he is definitely not dead.

The main thing is a clear logic.

"Tch, boring."

Seeing his calm face, Xu Shi shook his head in disgust.

How come it's so normal for you? He hasn't had time to say the classic opening line of "The operation was successful", and you're not like Xu Ying, who wakes up and calls your buddy daddy...

No fun!

But he was also thinking that Lu Baiyan was so normal when everyone was abnormal, so was this normal or abnormal?

Lu Baiyan came to his senses very quickly and got straight to the point.

"I'm still a little confused...what happened that day?"

Xu Shi didn't hide anything from him and told him in detail what happened after he was puppetized on the day of the final battle, including the various changes currently taking place in the Hualan Empire.

Listening to his eloquent words, the expression on his squinted face was quite rich.

Obviously, he didn't expect that everything around him would change so much during the time he was in coma - he knew that Xu Shi would definitely implement various reforms, but the content was much more than he thought.

"Brother Xu's methods are indeed brilliant. He can actually drive the Vatican to the point of jumping over the wall."

But in the end, he just mocked the fate of the Holy See, "Even people like me have to be pushed out to the battlefield...haha."

Indeed, he was not a combatant. How long could he last under the circumstances?
But at that time, Miss Saint couldn't care about so many people. She just piled people up. One more person was better than one less person.

No one would laugh at being forced into a puppet. Xu Shi could clearly hear the anger in his tone.

"There's nothing you can do about it. Who told you to be a member of the Holy See?"

His response was rather cold, "It is your job to dedicate your heart to the Holy See, so don't complain."

"...That's right. I must be the one to blame for this."

Lu Baiyan could hear his overtones and could only smile bitterly.

He is different from other Templars. The others are either like Qin Yiyan, who has deep-rooted beliefs, or they are grassroots like Luo Yu, who cannot escape after joining the Knights.

But Lu Baiyan was different. His family was still quite powerful in the Hualan Empire. He was sent to be the Templar Knight of Raushizi just to bet on both ends. The family also had many important people in the royal family.

In addition, he himself is not a person without opinions, so for him, this position may be more like clocking in and clocking in.

In short, his belief in the Holy See is not very firm, which is why he was tempted repeatedly when faced with many attempts to woo him.

But it only stayed at the level of being tempted, and in the end he failed to take that step.

As for why, it's a bit difficult to explain... It can be said that the family's long-term influence has made him develop the character of making decisions after seeing the results. To put it more ugly, he is just a faggot.

Therefore, even though he was tempted and Pan Ling had a good chat with him, he could not make up his mind to take this step in the end.

As a person, it always takes a lot of courage to step out of your comfort zone, but unfortunately, he doesn't seem to have this courage.

In other words, when he really wanted to take this step, it was already too late - under the supervision of Han Jingchuan, he was taken to the Holy See, and when he met Xu Shi again, it was already a battle to the death.

"Feel sorry."

He suddenly felt a little guilty. He always felt that Xu Shi was so honest with him and now saved his life, but he was always ambiguous, and he felt really ashamed in comparison.

"What's there to be sorry for? I can understand that."

Xu Shi smiled and signaled that he didn't have to say such words.

It is really understandable. In fact, the person who is very similar to Lu Baiyan is probably the "imaginary number" Qi Maoyang, or the father and son of the Qi family.

The two of them were also wavering masters. When he and Shen He started the war, they only waited for the last moment to take down the "Shark Teeth" He family.

It seems that their approach is completely different from that of Lu Baiyan, but if you think about it carefully, their positions are also different - "Imaginary Number" is a neutral independent individual, but Lu Baiyan is a member of the Holy See. The superiors said that he is even a member of the Holy See. enemy.

Therefore, it makes sense that he could not get rid of the Holy See and join him.

Boss Xu behaved so generously, which surprised Lu Baiyan.

Qin Yiyan, who was eavesdropping outside the door, was also surprised. It seemed that Xu Shi was really tolerant of them, the Vatican Fermented Bean Curd - being tolerant to himself could be said to be just a show, but not to everyone else. .

Is he so easy to talk to?It doesn't feel like it...

I still have vivid memories of the scene when I was in the Holy See publicly quarreling with other Confucian scholars. Who would believe me if you said he was an elegant and easy-going person?
Ok……

Having just had a long conversation with Pan Ling, the silly red-haired girl planned to put aside her prejudices and take a closer look at this annoying guy.

And the other party's current behavior did make her a little shaken - this person seemed really different from what she imagined?
Lu Baiyan was even more grateful and stretched out his weak hand to shake Boss Xu's hand.

however.

Xu Shi didn't do what he wanted, but opened it.

"?"

Lu Baiyan was dumbfounded, his right hand hung in the air and froze.

"I understand that's my business, but I didn't say I wanted to shake hands with you and make peace, right?"

Xu Shi's tone became colder, "I gave you a chance, more than once, but you didn't accept it."

"Now I have made up my mind after seeing the collapse of the Holy See...I'm sorry, but that's another price."

"...That's the case." Lu Baiyan paused, then laughed at himself, "Then what does Brother Xu want to do? Use my life to establish authority for Her Majesty the Queen?"

This is not a strange thing, but an ending that he subconsciously thought of.

After all, he has experienced too many such things. The Holy See would do this when arresting people, and Cheng Gujian would do this when he eliminated political opponents. It was the simplest and crudest method.

Find a surviving high-level figure in the Holy See to behead him in public, which will shock people and at the same time stabilize the current royal status.

"It's not like no one has suggested this."

Xu Shi was happy, and immediately picked up a few memorials from his hand, "I don't know how the news that you are alive spread. So far, many people in the court have submitted memorials. I hope to use your head to serve as a warning to others."

"Do you want to see it?"

After that, without waiting for Lu Baiyan to refuse, he showed it to the other party.

Lu Baiyan stopped breathing.

Because the authors of these memorials are all members of the Lu family.

It makes sense when you think about it. Houses of nobles are often burned with hot pot and cold stove. The collapse of the Holy See does not mean the end of the Lu family. Those who are loyal to the royal family will naturally not be affected.

And he naturally became an abandoned son - these people were afraid that they wanted him to die, so that they could show their loyalty to Her Majesty the Queen, and say to the outside world that they were annihilating their relatives for justice.

"Nice suggestion."

Narrowing his eyes with mixed emotions, he finally gave this evaluation.

"Do you think so too?"

Xu Shi took the memorial back and said calmly, "But there is something wrong with me. I don't like to accept other people's suggestions."

"And you might as well think about it carefully, if I really want to kill you, why should I save you?"

"Then what do you mean?"

Lu Baiyan was a little dizzy. Hearing what the other party meant, it seemed that he wanted to protect himself?But he didn't seem to mean it this way before, this...

"I mean, you're still of some use to me, and it's not worth dying here."

Xu Shi said calmly, "So I can give you a chance to atone for your sins. It depends on whether you are willing to take it or not."

Qin Yiyan outside the door frowned when he heard this. He always felt that there was something wrong with these words...

Yes!

One thing to say is that Lu Baiyan was originally from the Holy See. Putting aside success and failure, there seemed to be nothing wrong with his previous actions... Instead, he narrowed his eyes and wavered between the Holy See and Xu Shi. He should be angry. It’s our Holy See, right?
Why did he turn into a stubborn guy who doesn't know good people's hearts after you said a few words?
Even the word "redemption" is included. This word is not appropriate at all, okay?
What she didn't know was that Xu Shi wouldn't think so.

Whatever Boss Xu likes, no matter whether it is a person or a thing, you must get it. If you don't take it after you have been given the opportunity, then it is your fault.

As for whether he had become a traitor, reputation or honor, that was not something he considered.

However, Lu Baiyan didn't seem to realize this. Hearing what Xu Shi said, he nodded without thinking much, "I have missed Brother Xu twice. If I push him back anymore, I am really ignorant."

Fortunately, the silly red-haired girl doesn't have any weird hobbies, otherwise this sentence would arouse many reveries.

"Is that agreed?"

Xu Shi nodded slightly, "Okay, let's make it clear that I need your ability to help me with my next plan. Take a good rest and we will start when you recover."

"what's the plan?"

"You will know when the time comes."

"……it is good."

Lu Baiyan did not refute. Although Xu Shi's harsh tone made him uncomfortable, now he had no reason to refuse.

Qin Yiyan finally came to his senses. Xu Shi was so clever!

It always feels like he was here for Lu Baiyan from the beginning, right?In contrast, he and Her Majesty the Saint were just like gifts, or in other words, they were on the list he wanted to clear, and they only stayed because the situation changed.

So, if Lu Baiyan chooses to change his family from the beginning, the treatment he will receive will definitely not be too low.

It's just that he didn't, which led to the situation becoming like this. Xu Shi gave orders casually, but had to listen with squinted eyes. It felt like he was being ordered around by the person at the moment.

But this is the most egregious part, okay? !

To be honest, in her opinion, Xu Shi's threat to Lu Baiyan would not have any effect. After all, Lu Baiyan himself could say "do you want to kill me to sacrifice the flag"? If he is not even afraid of death, what else is there to be afraid of?
That is to say, the other party still willingly agreed even though the treatment was greatly reduced...?
This is too crude. Although she doesn’t understand KFC’s routines, the red-haired elder sister can still understand a little bit.

Choosing to understand but not forgive has already determined the high and low positions.

Showing him the report letters from family members was undoubtedly telling him, "Who but me can be so tolerant to you? Even your family members want you to die."

Coupled with some of the work that should have been done before... With this combination of punches, Lu Baiyan can find him as far as the north. How can he not be obedient?
He even thought it was his fault and kept saying sorry.

Qin Yiyan curled his lips, he had indeed opened his eyes here in Xu Shi.

If it were her, she would actually disdain this kind of intrigue. It might be more in line with her style to be straightforward, and she would just tell her subordinates... All in all, she was actually a little disgusted with this kind of intrigue.

but.

She also had to admit that Xu Shi had the ability to win over Lu Baiyan's heart with just a few words... Well, this statement is a bit ambiguous. It should be said that he won Lu Baiyan's loyalty without any effort.

Rather than threatening others to die, it's certainly better to make others willing to die for you, isn't it?

If I remember correctly, this guy's ability seems to be related to this aspect, so did he use his ability on Lu Baiyan?It seems not.

Good guy.

If you don't use your ability, it's like this. But if you use your ability, what's the point?

The silly red-haired girl didn't know the secrets about Dongfang Xiao and Miss Saint, so she was a little scared when she thought about it.

But she also didn't understand how Lu Baiyan could be so submissive.

This is the gap in thinking - Mi Miyan herself has a yearning for the outside world. Most of the time she was tempted before, because of this reason, but she is much weaker in this aspect, and it is normal not to understand.

And then again, in fact, the attack on Lu Baiyan has been going on for a long time, and today is just the end, and it seems to be as relaxed as possible.

It's just that this is not something Qin Yiyan can digest in a short time, but it is enough to shock her.

And she also didn't notice the figure appearing behind her.

"When are you going to overhear?"

Xu Shi poked her shoulder mischievously, "My little maid?"
