Chapter 557: One Person Suppresses Zhang Chu
Guiguzi craned his neck to look at the hole in the tent ceiling and the stars in the hole.
"Your Majesty, do you still not believe in the existence of heaven?"
“No, I believe in the existence of heaven.”
Ying Chengjiao has witnessed too many miracles, from Guiguzi's ability to call the wind and rain, to Zhao Gongming's black tiger that can speak human language, and his time travel from the present world to the Qin Dynasty.
These things made him believe that heaven exists, which can also be said to be the Tao mentioned by Lao Tzu.
There must be such a force in the dark.
"I just don't have a fear of heaven. What can it do?"
Guiguzi's eyes flashed with a strange look, and he said:
"Gods, ghosts, humans, immortals, everything is under the control of heaven."
Ying Chengjiao pondered for a moment, sat on the ground, and invited Guiguzi to sit in front of him with one arm.
Guiguzi responded.
Between the two of them was that ray starlight.
"I used to not believe in ghosts because I had never seen one. But that day in the court, it was like a dream, and when I saw my grandfather, I began to doubt.
"Are there ghosts in this world?
"But I have never doubted that even if there are ghosts, their power is not great. Even the most evil ghosts who died unjustly cannot take lives.
"Do you know why?"
Guiguzi's eyebrows twitched slightly.
"I think it has something to do with your majesty's past life."
The second emperor nodded, it was easier to talk to smart people.
"731, this is the code name of an army."
When he said this, Guiguzi suddenly felt cold all over, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. The endless cold made his breathing stop and he was unable to speak.
The last time he had a similar feeling was after the Battle of Changping, when he came to the battlefield where hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers were buried alive. But the shock he received that time was not even one percent of what he felt this time.
The resentment of the hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers who died unjustly was not as great as that of the two emperors alone.
Guiguzi knew that this was because the Second Emperor, as the ruler of the world, had great fortune, but he was still shocked.
He had never seen Ying Chengjiao like this before. His murderous aura was so strong that it completely surpassed that of Bai Qi, who was called the Man-Butcher.
Guiguzi was speechless, otherwise he would have been unable to resist asking.
What happened in the future that could make a righteous gentleman who used to be a king but refused to kill even a slave become like this?
"An experiment in motherhood."
Ying Chengjiao had a blank expression on his face, and his words were emotionless.
“Put a mother with her child in a house, heat the ground, and observe when the mother steps on the child to escape the heat.
"Human dissection experiment.
"They knocked a boy unconscious and took out his intestines, pancreas, liver, kidneys, stomach and other internal organs, as well as his brain.
“Drying experiment.
"The person is locked in a closed room and tied to a chair. A high temperature wind is blown on the person until he slowly dies. The stop sign is that the sweat cannot fall to the ground. In the end, the person completely turns into a mummy. It is concluded that the human body is 78% water.
“Starvation experiment.
"Give people water to drink and see how long they can survive drinking only water. The highest record is more than 60 days.
“Human-horse experiment.
"Forcing women to mate with horses to see if offspring can be produced between humans and animals.
“Thirst experiment.
"Give people only steamed bread to eat and no water to drink, and see how long they can live. When they die, they vomit blood continuously.
“Freezing experiment.
"In the temperature of minus 30 degrees, the woman exposed her arm and poured water on it continuously. She knocked it hard every few minutes to see if it was frozen. If it was not frozen, she broke it into pieces and poured water on it again. After five hours, the arm turned into frozen meat. She put it in warm water and pulled it hard, and the flesh and bones were separated.
"Poisonous gas "
“That’s enough!”
Guiguzi couldn't listen any longer and his face looked extremely ugly.
"Your Majesty, what is your intention in saying this? Do you want to use these tortures on Zen?"
"I only told you a part that you can understand. There are more experiments that I haven't mentioned yet."
Ying Chengjiao pursed his lips.
"What I have said are facts that have happened, and are the sufferings that my ancestors have experienced.
“They were treated like animals by the overseas islanders, and each of them was tortured far more than the Zhao army who were buried alive in Changping.
"If evil spirits can really take lives, then those culprits should not have a good end! They should not have spent their old age in peace! This is why I am never afraid of ghosts."
Guiguzi, who admitted that he did not have much humanity, could not remember the last time he was so angry.
"Inhuman!"
He shouted angrily, his eyes red.
Ying Chengjiao looked into Guiguzi's eyes, and the two pairs of equally blood-red pupils merged together.
"Heaven and ghosts are the same, neither is good. How many people died in the Battle of Changping? Hundreds of thousands? How many people died in my world? Millions.
"You said that the sky can see everything, but where was it when its people were being slaughtered like pigs and dogs? Why didn't it save its people?
"I came from the afterlife, and I know all too well what will happen in the next two thousand years.
"Two-legged sheep could not get enough food, the Five Barbarians invaded China, and China was submerged... The days when the people could eat enough food totaled less than a hundred years."
Ying Chengjiao pointed above his head.
"This is the future that Heaven wants, but I don't want it."
Ying Chengjiao opened his arms and sat in a hugging position.
"This world belongs to everyone in the world. For the time being, I have the final say. I will walk the path of a hundred years and a thousand years.
"Even if you are all on the side of heaven, you can't stop me. It's just a matter of bullets and gunpowder.
"Your Majesty, please report to the heavens and ask them to come down personally. I want to see how many bullets and tons of gunpowder the heavens can take!"
Looking at the Second Emperor with a crazy look on his face, Guiguzi's face twitched.
"Sir, do you really know what you are talking about?"
"It couldn't be clearer."
Ying Chengjiao looked up at the starry sky.
“It is often said that one does not have to believe in God, but one must be in awe of Him.
"Don't block my way, we should keep to ourselves, and I don't have the leisure to blaspheme the heaven.
"But if it dares to stand in front of me, then there is nothing to say. I, an old Qin man, don't like to talk too much. Kill it!
"It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on God. I alone am the power of the world!"
Guiguzi suddenly stood up, grabbed the Second Emperor by the chest, his face full of anger.
"You don't know what you are talking about! You don't understand Zen at all!
“Have you forgotten that the reason why Zen entered Chang’an Jun’s mansion was to see the world you created!
"I was soft-hearted for a moment and allowed you, a brat, to speak so arrogantly. You are not worthy of being consulted!"
Ying Chengjiao allowed Guiguzi to overstep his authority and be rude, but he did not resist.
A sneer appeared on his lips.
"Old ghost, do you really think you have planned everything?"
Guiguzi was about to continue speaking when he felt a hard object pressed against his forehead. It was a pistol that Ying Chengjiao had taken out at some point.
"I am in a good mood now and don't want to kill you, so get out."
Guiguzi let go and looked at Ying Chengjiao, who was first a lord and later an emperor, with a face full of sadness.
"Your Majesty has already figured it out. With your Majesty's mind, how could you not figure it out? Your Majesty also understands human nature.
"Your Majesty, are you afraid that if you tell it all, you will lose your energy and won't be able to go on? Then why don't you stop here?
"Your Majesty, I don't know how many people have been killed in vain during this war. Your Majesty is also trying to change for the sake of heaven. Why can't you change more thoroughly? Seriously..."
Peng~!
Green smoke is curling up.
There was a loud noise inside the tent, and there was noisy and disorderly noise outside the tent.
"No one is allowed to enter! Anyone who violates this rule will be exterminated along with their entire clan!"
Ying Chengjiao shouted loudly, and all the noise disappeared after a "no".
All the guards were waiting quietly outside the tent.
"Will you go away or not?"
Ying Chengjiao held up his pistol and looked at him coldly.
Guiguzi raised his hand to touch his hair, and a burning smell entered his nose. The piece of hair he touched was obviously missing and was smoking, as if it had been stung by flames.
The shot just now didn't hit him, but just grazed his hair.
The old man, who had lived for more than two hundred years, had a sad expression on his face and stared at Ying Chengjiao for a long while.
"As long as your majesty needs you, Zen will stand by your majesty."
The old man was responded to by the black muzzle of the gun and the feeling that he might die at any time.
"roll."
The Second Emperor's voice was so cold that it could freeze ice.
This should be the third time that the oldest man in the world bowed to the ground and opened the tent door.
Outside the door were densely packed personal guards, each looking at Guiguzi as if he were the murderer of his father.
Their beloved king was alone with this weirdo with four moles on his head, so they shot him! This weirdo threatened their king! He deserved to be killed! All three tribes will be exterminated!
"Let him go! No one is allowed to stop him!"
"promise!"
Following the Second Emperor's order, everyone reluctantly made way for him, their eyes still filled with murderous intent.
"Today, I see many stars, but tomorrow, only my shadow will follow me. Colorful!
"I haven't seen such a wonderful show in 200 years. I won't be able to see it in another 200 years. It's worth it. Hahahahahaha!"
Guiguzi laughed so hard that tears came out. He couldn't stop crying and passed through the path among the crowd. In an instant, he disappeared without a trace and no one knew where he was anymore.
"I want to be quiet, no one is allowed to enter without being summoned."
Ying Chengjiao lowered the door curtain and locked everyone else outside.
He put the gun in his arms and rubbed his face hard with both hands. He didn't stop until his cheeks were red and swollen.
“Why?
“For the soldiers who have died fighting for the Qin over the years, for the retainers, Iron Eagle Swordsmen, and veterans who have given their hearts and souls to me.
"To guard against Meng Ao who was partial to me again, and to guard against Wang He who always regretted that Wu'an had not seen Chang'an.
"In order to teach me a final lesson before he died, Xunzi taught me not to turn into an evil dragon.
"For Zhou Shi who cut his own throat, Zhou Ji who hit his head against the wall, Wei Ju who set himself on fire, and Tian Dan who died facing east.
"After years of hiding, Wukong finally made his mark and had a bright future, but he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart and died in front of Zhang Er's corpse.
"I must continue on this road..."
More than half an hour later, after asking for instructions outside the big tent, the Yue woman handed in an urgent letter from the battlefield between the two Chus.
Ying Chengjiao opened the letter and read it, and tears immediately welled up in his already red and swollen eyes.
He held the letter tightly in both hands and crumpled it into a ball.
"Didn't I tell you to just take Zhang Chu's people away? Why didn't you listen?"
More than a month ago.
The scientists arrived at the Zhang Chu capital, Chen County, and were warmly received by Zhang Chu King Chen Sheng.
After the banquet, the guests left and only four people were left.
Chen Sheng, the King of Zhang Chu, Wu Guang, the Fake King, Wang Liao, the General of Zhang Chu, and a great scientist of Mohism.
The oldest general, Wang Liao, spoke first.
"I wonder what your purpose is in coming all the way here, sir."
Although he is old, he has the lowest status among Zhang Chu's forces present. He is the first to test the scientist's intentions, and there is still room for maneuver later.
"I want to take the person away."
The scientist spoke without any context and then stared at Wang Liao.
"Can you make the decision? If not, shut up."
Wang Liao was furious. He had a high status in military strategy and was well-known throughout the world for his reputation as a noble leader. Since he joined Zhang Chu, he had been invincible and expanded the territory of Zhang Chu by 23 cities, which made him highly respected by Chen Sheng.
He stood up in shock, pointed at the scientist and shouted:
"How dare you speak to me !"
The scientists looked at him coldly, with undisguised contempt and disgust in their eyes.
In his eyes, the three people in the field were all traitors who were waging an unjust war. If Wang Ling had not asked him to attack them, Zhang Chu's banner would never have been raised.
“I’m not good with words.
"If you give me the people, I will leave. If you don't, then we will start a war."
Wang Liao laughed out of anger.
"Do you think I, Zhang Chu, am afraid of you? Do you think Yiyang, a city, is a country?"
The scientist turned around and left before he could finish listening.
He was born in Qin Mo. He was not as good at debate as Qi Mo, nor as good at martial arts as Chu Mo. Qin Mo was good at strategy and war!
What Mohism opposes is unjust wars. Those who fight against unjust wars are righteous armies. Using righteousness to fight injustice is very good!
The two guards at the door crossed their spears and stopped the scientist.
The scientist did not stop, and charged forward with his chest puffed out, wielding the crossed spears. He knocked down two guards in just a few moves.
If you are not good at fighting, you cannot beat drunkards, swordsmen, and reckless men, let alone ordinary soldiers.
Tap tap tap
Dozens of guards surrounded the scientist and blocked him in the palace.
The scientist had no intention of retreating and continued forward, and was about to be killed in the act.
"Everyone, step back!"
At the time of crisis, the fake king Wu Guang stood up, first called the guards at the door, and then glared at Wang Liao fiercely.
He strode up to the scientist, smiled gently, and said:
"It's just one person. Does the person you want to take with you have a name?"
No one can tell how powerful the Mohist school is. All we know is that among the hundreds of schools of thought, the Mohist school is the only one that has been able to stop the war between two countries with its own military force.
If the leader of the Mohist school died here, the Mohist disciples who had finally reunited would surely attack Zhang Chu like crazy. Wu Guang was not sure whether he could withstand it.
The Mohist School had a very strong appeal among the people, and most of Zhang Chu's soldiers were farmers. In order to expand the territory of Zhang Chu's soldiers and fight against the Mohist School, Wu Guang thought it was a good thing that they did not turn against him.
You just want a person, just give him to you, there's no need to start a war.
The scientist stopped and corrected with a serious face:
"It's not just one person, it's a group of people. As long as someone is willing to go with me, I will take them away."
"The giant has gone too far."
Wu Guang's expression changed.
The reason why he didn't dare to kill the scientist was that he was afraid that even if he killed the scientist, Zhang Chu would not be able to be saved. The appeal of the Mohist leader was like a nuclear weapon to Zhang Chu.
If scientists were allowed to visit Zhang Chu and make a call, wouldn't Zhang Chu still be gone?
"It seems that we can't reach an agreement."
The scientist shook his head. He was really not good at speaking, and he raised his foot to leave.
"Sir, please stay. I accept your offer."
