A ridiculous and incredible thought flashed through Chu Ci's mind. He looked at Wu Zhou's movements with dull eyes, feeling that his thoughts were very confused.
In other words...Wu Zhou likes herself?
But how is this possible? They obviously didn't do anything beyond the rules, and Wu Zhou never expressed his love to him, not to mention that they were still nominal masters and apprentices.
Wu Zhou When did you fall in love with yourself?
Chu Ci is puzzled.
He raised his eyes and looked at Wu Zhou not far away.
Although he has become much thinner during this period, his features are as handsome as ever, and he even looks a bit sickly because of his illness.
Wait...
Chu Ci stared at Wu Zhou's eyes for a few times, and suddenly felt very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them before, so he could only temporarily put the idea behind him.
Wu Zhou is looking at "Chu Ci" with attachment eyes, and his lips are moving slightly, as if he is saying something.
Chu Ci was frightened by Wu Zhou's behavior and took several steps back. So now he was a little far away from Wu Zhou. Because he couldn't hear clearly what Wu Zhou was saying, Chu Ci moved a little closer to him.
I heard it clearly this time.
Wu Zhou said, "Master, I will save you."
Chu Ci thinks Wu Zhou's idea is a bit funny. He has become a corpse, so why can't he be saved?
It's nothing more than a child's joke.
But the next second, Chu Ci didn't know what he thought of, and his thoughts suddenly stopped.
Since he had died in that interstellar war, why did he resurrect later? And why did he appear in a strange world? If these are really the achievements of Wu Zhou, then where did Wu Zhou go?
One mystery after another flashed through his mind, but now that he could not talk to Wu Zhou, he could only temporarily suppress his doubts and looked in the direction of Wu Zhou again.
The scene in front of me changed again.
Wu Zhou kept flipping through ancient books, trying to find a way to "resurrection" in them.
Chu Ci followed Wu Zhou slowly. Although he knew that Wu Zhou couldn't hear it, he still couldn't help but said, "These ancient books contain serious spells. Resurrection is an act of defying nature and changing one's fate. You can't find it here."
Wu Zhou couldn't hear Chu Ci's words, but was stubbornly looking for iron. He rummaged through almost all the books in the treasure pavilion, but still couldn't find any record of "resurrection".
Wu Zhou sat dejectedly in the corner, his beautiful eyes shimmering with water. He folded his hands around his knees and murmured in a low voice, "Master, am I useless..."
Chu Ci feels distressed and helpless.
He half-crouched, looking at Wu Zhou with tears shining in front of him, and subconsciously wanted to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingers. The moment his fingers passed through Wu Zhou, Chu Ci realized that he was still in the state of his soul and could not touch Wu Zhou.
Chu Ci could only take his fingers back. He looked at Wu Zhou who was sobbing softly and comforted him in a gentle voice, "Little Wu Zhou has done a great job this time. Master did not love you in vain."
Chu Ci liked to call Wu Zhou "Little Wu Zhou". He felt that adding "" in front of his name would show the close relationship between the two. Moreover, Wu Zhou was already young, he had no father or mother, and he had a better relationship with Wu Zhou's mother. To put it bluntly, Chu Ci had actually treated Wu Zhou as his biological brother for so many years.
It's a pity that Wu Zhou can't hear Chu Ci's words.
He sat in the corner for a few minutes and then stood up.
Wu Zhou wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and walked towards the palace.
Chu Ci has already guessed what Wu Zhou is going to do.
Most likely, he wanted to ask his father for help.
Chu Ci actually has no feelings for this aloof emperor. Although he said "eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor", Chu Ci knew very well that the so-called "god of war" was just that the emperor felt that he was still valuable, so he used this name to appease the people of the world and show his wisdom.
In recent years, the voice of "God of War" has become louder and louder. Although this is not Chu Ci's original intention, the emperor has become more and more afraid of himself. People in high positions are most afraid of "high achievements that shake the master". The reason why he did not eradicate himself is simply because there is still war on the border, and the emperor needs him to stabilize the government and the opposition.
Now that he has passed away, he has no use value. "Resurrection" is a matter of great public disapproval. The emperor will never help Wu Zhou.
Things were indeed very different from what Chu Ci imagined.
No matter how Wu Zhou prayed to him, the emperor only left Wu Zhou with a cold "Sorrows and submission".
As if he finally realized that the emperor could not help him, Wu Zhou stopped praying. He pursed his lips tightly, and then stood there in silence for a long, long time.
"Send His Highness back to the palace."
The emperor winked at the person next to him.
Wu Zhou The eyelashes trembled slightly, but the steps did not move at all.
Seeing this, the emperor could only comfort him in a gentle voice, "Zhou'er, it is because my father has neglected you for more than ten years that you have suffered so much injustice. I promise you that as long as you are willing, the position of His Royal Highness will always be yours."
This was already a very big concession for the emperor.
He did not call me "I", but "father", which meant that the emperor was talking to Wu Zhou as "father and son".
"Huh..."
Wu Zhou raised his eyes and looked at him, his eyes were unabashedly cold and disgusting, and his tone was full of ridicule. "Did you trade my master's life for the position of crown prince?"
"... what?"
A hint of guilt flashed in the emperor's eyes.
"Do you want me to make it clearer?"
Wu Zhou had a cold expression and piercing hatred in his eyes. "You are afraid of my master's high reputation, fame, and popularity among the people, so you united with the enemy to kill him, right?
The emperor was frightened by the undisguised hatred in his eyes, and he took a few steps back. "What are you talking about?"
"Master is always meticulous in his work."
Wu Zhou's voice trembled slightly. "The only people who know his plan are his confidants and you. They are all friends with my master, and it is impossible to betray him... Only you..."
Wu Zhou clenched his fingers into fists. Because he was too angry, there were faint veins on his arms. "Only you would ignore the overall situation and leak the master's plan."
Chu Ci was slightly startled.
He didn't expect that the truth of the matter turned out to be like this.
Originally Chu Ci was wondering who the spy in the military camp was, but now he finally understood after hearing the conversation between Wu Zhou and the emperor.
"When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; when the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys are cooked."
This is a line that appeared when Chu Ci played "Reign" some time ago. I didn't expect to use it so soon.
