Chapter 369 Never Give Up?

That night, Xiao Gu quietly left and went to the palace.

Ji Caiyi brought Lao Liu and knocked on Xiaobai's door.

As soon as she entered the room, Caiyi smiled at Bai Muye, and her eyes turned red.

"Xiaobai, I..."

As soon as the word "I" came out, tears flowed uncontrollably.

Lao Liu stood aside a little embarrassed and distressed.

Lin Zijin, who was chatting with Xiaobai in the room, stood up immediately, walked over and took Ji Caiyi's hand: "Caiyi, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Muye showed a serious expression on his face and said in a deep voice: "Caiyi..."

Ji Caiyi pursed her lips and looked at Bai Muye pitifully.

"You are still too young now!"

Caiyi cried even harder.

Lin Zijin glared at Bai Muye and thought to himself that you didn't say that just now, and you even praised her. What's going on? Brother is not such a petty person!

"Now I'm pregnant. You and Lao Liu will be annoyed every day. I won't even tell you about my private life."

Caiyi raised her head, her face was wet with tears, and her eyes were dull.

Lao Liu's mouth twitched: What expression should I put here?

"But it doesn't matter! It's okay to be pregnant. Let's find a solution together. But you don't have to play in the next game, lest..."

"Xiaobai, you bastard!" Caiyi finally reacted and glared at Bai Muye, "You are pregnant, you are pregnant!"

"Hahahaha!" Bai Muye couldn't help laughing, "I can't do this..."

"I'll beat you to death! Stinky Xiaobai!" Caiyi pretended to rush up to the adults.

Quilted by Zijin, Lin Zijin couldn't help but glared at Bai Muye with a reproachful look, stinky brother!

Lao Liu stood behind Caiyi, grinning, secretly raising a thumb.

Bai Muye asked a few people to sit down, then brewed a few cups of tea, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, not even a quarrel, right? Look at you two, you act like the sky is falling, and you come here to talk about it, is it that serious?"

Cai Yi's emotions have calmed down now, and she wiped the corners of her eyes with a tissue, and said a little aggrievedly: "I don't know what happened to me in the afternoon. Anyway, I was so angry at that time that I didn't want to think about anything. Because at that time I really thought this guy was quite selfish. What's wrong with the prince? Is it great? Do we really want to know you? If it weren't for you bringing him in, how could everyone accept a new teammate so easily?"

"Yeah, yeah, I also benefited from my brother!" Lin Zijin said with a smile on the side.

Caiyi looked at her and shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, no, you are not. I, Shan Gu, Si Yin... even Lao Liu, we are all your fans. Even if you don't know Xiaobai, we welcome you very much."

"I am so popular." Zijin giggled, not at all arrogant.

Just a silly girl next door, um, a super beautiful silly girl, looks easy to deceive.

Caiyi continued: "So I really couldn't help it at that time. You can care nothing about anything, but you can't just consider yourself and ignore others when you are in a team or a group."

Bai Muye nodded: "You are right. I didn't consider this matter a little bit and ignored your thoughts."

"No, you didn't. The reason why I came to you now is also because of this. You must feel uncomfortable being caught in the middle of this matter. You can say that you are reluctant to let us go, and it's not the case for him. So you must be the most wronged." Caiyi said sincerely.

Bai Muye: "Caiyi, you are so considerate now, I am not used to it."

"Bah! I am considerate, right? Have you forgotten who took you to eat the first bowl of rice noodles?" Caiyi glared at him, then laughed, "Since I met you, I feel that the future direction of my life has changed dramatically."

"Of course, my brother is so awesome!" Lin Zijin brags blindly and shamelessly every day.

Even if what she said is true, it is still speechless, but fortunately everyone is used to it.

Ji Caiyi smiled and glanced at her: "You girl, really, I will teach you a few more tricks later."

Old Liu looked at Bai Muye with sympathy, and Bai Muye shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent.

It's useless, my girl is smart, you don't need to teach her.

At this time, Lao Liu said, "Actually, I think it's good today. I can see that not only Caiyi has ideas, but Shan Gu also has them, but he didn't say them. Only Siyin is heartless and happy all day long."

Lin Zijin said, "Siyin doesn't have no ideas, but she doesn't want to think so much. She prefers to face life with a smile every day."

Lao Liu nodded, "Yes, that's right, so you can expose this matter. If the unstable factors in the team are resolved, it will definitely be better in the future!"

Bai Muye looked at Lao Liu and said, "If he succeeds, Lao Liu, many of your demands can be realized."

"That's what I said, but it can't be done this way." Lao Liu said seriously: "If it weren't for this incident, it would take me about 30 to 50 years. In the meantime, I need your help to reach the influential position I want. In this process, I can accumulate little by little, and I can also manage little by little."

"But now... you are giving me a through train to the pinnacle of power. Although it is very tempting, it won't work. It can't be like this."

Lao Liu looked at Bai Muye: "Without those accumulations and precipitations, I will make mistakes if I rashly take a high position. Some things that seem normal to me now may be a little radical and may lead to mistakes. If I am not in that position, I will not have the opportunity to do it. After decades of precipitation, I may not do it when I reach that position. Do you understand what I mean?"

Bai Muye nodded. Just like Lao Liu's evaluation of him, he is not lacking in wisdom in this regard.

Lin Zijin and Caiyi were not interested in this topic and went straight into the inner room to talk in private.

In the living room, Lao Liu had a heart-to-heart talk with Bai Muye. He did not deny the benefits of knowing Xiao Gu. Although there was also an unimaginable huge crisis hidden here.

But Xiao Gu has now taken the lead!

He has been canonized as the prince!

Perhaps on that day, it will still be very difficult to sit in that position.

But as long as he succeeds, the benefits that Lao Liu, who is determined to pursue a career in politics, will gain will definitely be unimaginable. No matter how much he wants to accumulate and settle, his path to rise will definitely be much smoother than others.

So, he is really grateful to Bai Muye for this matter.

At the same time.

In the palace, the emperor and his son also had a long heart-to-heart talk.

"It's hard to imagine that you would figure it out now. I thought it would take some time." The emperor smiled and looked at Xiao Gu.

Xiao Gu said softly: "That's because I have a group of good friends now."

"But do you know? The emperor...can't have friends." The emperor looked at Xiao Gu, sighed softly, and there was a bit of pity in his eyes: "I'm alone, and it's unchanging from ancient times. That's not just talk."

"Really...can't have any?" Xiao Gu raised his head and looked at his father bravely.

"Son, there is a relationship between the monarch and his subjects. But as a monarch, I want to have friends who can confide in me. I can't say that I don't have any, but... it's too difficult! But I don't force you to break up with your friends. In fact, they have made great contributions to your big changes."

The emperor sighed softly, stood up, and said, "But you must be clear about one thing in your heart, that is, remember the emperor's mind you have learned. Those things are not for you to use to harm others, but for you to learn to check and balance. In this world, from the king to the people, there is no No matter who you are, once you get that kind of unfettered power, big problems will arise sooner or later. But once you use these and consider things from the perspective of an emperor, you may let your friends down in many things. If you don't check and balance, even if your friends don't cause you trouble, there will be problems with others. Therefore, emperors are lonely. You must also pay attention at all times, stay vigilant at all times, and slowly learn to grasp the degree. "

"I understand, my child." Xiao Gu nodded seriously, and no longer resisted his father's words as before.

"Go back and see your third brother and your elder brother." The emperor looked at Xiao Gu, "They are your brothers and sisters, the people you can rely on in this world, never forget what your father said."

"I remember it." Xiao Gu said, raised his head, with a sparkle in his eyes, looking at the emperor, "Father, you..."

The emperor nodded and smiled, "Don't care too much about this matter, there will always be accidents in life, and... death is not terrible. It is just the beginning of another new life. Father has done many things against his will in his life, even bad things that people can hardly accept... So I dare not say that I am not ashamed of my ancestors and the people, but at least, I have done a lot of good things."

"Father is always tall and majestic in my heart." Xiao Gu said softly.

"Yes, every father is like this in the eyes of his children. Until one day, when you grow up, you will find that your father is not so strong, not so strong, and not so perfect..."

The emperor sighed lightly: "Prince Lu harmed me, and I killed him in return. This seems to be his fault, but in fact, the seeds of hatred have been planted many years ago. It was your father who harmed him first."

Xiao Gu was slightly startled.

The emperor said: "I tell you this, first, I want you to be careful of his descendants, and second, I want to tell you that your father is not so perfect."

Xiao Gu was silent.

The emperor smiled: "When your uncle Li Yu and I competed for the throne, he stood in the dark and fanned the flames, doing many things that made me angry and your uncle Li Yu angry. Although we fought, we both kept that bottom line. And he... your uncle Li Xun, is a person without a bottom line. He is lazy, greedy, slippery, ambitious, and incompetent, and he is bad!"

The emperor said calmly: "It's hard to imagine that a man like him would have the guts to collude with the gods, and it's not just one or two days. It started when I was competing with your uncle Li Yu for the throne!"

Xiao Gu was surprised and said: "So early?"

"Well, it's just that everyone was busy fighting at the time, so who had time to deal with him?" said the emperor.

"But the gods... he colluded with the gods, this is a top-notch event, right?" Xiao Gu widened his eyes and looked at his father.

The emperor smiled and said: "Do you think the gods are so willing to fight us?"

"Ah?" Xiao Gu was a little confused.

"What good will it do them to beat us?" The emperor said calmly, "In ancient times, the gods themselves were a branch of the ancient civilization. Of course, if we only talk about race, they were the strongest branch of the ancient civilization. At that time, they tried to unify the entire ancient civilization and establish the Heavenly Court with the intention of becoming emperors. But they were beaten badly. The ancient civilization alone is definitely not their opponent, but if they unite, they can still easily pin them to the ground and beat them up."

Xiao Gu: "..."

"The gods at that time were so proud that they didn't even bother to unite with anyone. In their eyes, the entire ancient civilization, except for their gods, "The Protoss, except for the Protoss, are all inferior races."

The emperor said calmly: "They don't understand the truth that our ancestors have long understood, and they don't know how to unite the majority. So, they failed. After that, the Protoss left Andromeda. But it was precisely because of their departure that they survived. When the ancient civilization collapsed, they were the only ones who did not suffer a major blow. "

"Father, the ancient civilization..."

"Don't ask, it's a taboo," the emperor raised his hand to interrupt him, "Once it really attracts the attention of some existences, we will have no good days again."

Xiao Gu nodded as if he understood.

The emperor said: "Some things, when you sit in this position, you will naturally know."

"So, there is no deep hatred between the Protoss and our human race as you think, but if they don't beat us to death, they will also be in trouble."

Xiao Gu murmured: "The dog they raised?"

"This is a bit harsh, but it's true." The emperor nodded.

Xiao Gu thought for a while and murmured, "If this kind of war can continuously make both sides stronger, then one day..."

"Stop, stop, let's stop talking about this topic." The emperor looked at his son and the prince he chose with a little helplessness, "Remember, you must remember in the future that many things can be done but not said."

Xiao Gu looked at him: "I understand father."

"Go, father can probably hold on until the day you win the championship... But speaking of it, it's time to play. When I was a prince, I didn't care about those things. Although my strength was not very good, I still went on stage to play!" said the emperor.

"Ah? Father... have you ever played on stage?" Xiao Gu was shocked, "I've only seen Uncle Li Yu's video, not yours?"

"Hehe, I deleted it." The emperor blushed, "After all, being beaten is not a glorious thing."

Xiao Gu: "..."

"But you are different, you are much better than I was back then! So, when it's time to show your face, show your face, it's nothing! It's not taboo." The emperor looked at Xiao Gu, "You also need to make some achievements, so that the people of the Zulong Empire have a preliminary impression of you. Do what you want to leave them with."

"Did Father also hear about the recent rumors?" Xiao Gu said a little depressed.

"I have been paying attention since the start of the league, and I have been waiting for you to appear on the stage, but... you have been sitting pitifully on the bench. Could it be that Xiao Bai, that stinky boy, deliberately suppressed you and didn't let you play?" The emperor asked with narrowed eyes.

"No, no, they all want me to play, it's my own fault..." Xiao Gu hurriedly explained, telling what happened in the afternoon.

After listening, the emperor smiled and said, "These kids are really good! You are much luckier than I was back then! Those people I favored back then didn't like me."

Xiao Gu was silent again. A son should not blame his father. Besides, in his heart, no matter what his father did, he was a wise, brave, upright and great father.

"Before I leave, I will have a good talk with your uncle Li Yu. If, I mean if... I can't talk to him, then I will leave you a way to crack it. But no matter how good the plan is, it's just a plan. How far it can be achieved depends on your ability."

The emperor looked at Xiao Gu and said softly, "Ying'er, in fact, your third brother is very good, not inferior to you."

"I know." Xiao Gu nodded.

"But you know what? I'm not afraid of him becoming a puppet. What I'm afraid of is that if he takes the throne, he will turn against your uncle Li Yu at the first opportunity. By then, everything will be turned upside down, and both sides will suffer in the end. Our Zulong can't stand this kind of torment. Your uncle Li Yu is indeed excellent, but he is too confident. That's how he lost to me. If it's really your third brother who goes up, he will most likely lose to your third brother! But the problem is, if he loses to me, I won't kill him, because he is my biological brother! But if he loses to Xiong'er... he will die. I don't want him to die."

Xiao Gu stared at his father blankly. These words shocked him. He thought he knew his third brother very well, but it seemed that he didn't know him as well as he imagined.

Does his biological brother really not want to compete for that position?

"There are some things that I hope you can see through, and I also hope you can pretend to be confused after seeing through them." The emperor sighed, "The imperial family is the most ruthless. I can't do that well myself, so naturally I can't expect you to do better. But unless it is absolutely necessary, I don't want you brothers to quarrel."

"Father, no." Xiao Gu said softly, "Even if there is a day when brothers really turn against each other, I will definitely not kill him."

"I hope so." The emperor nodded, "Go see your mother, she has not been in good health over the years, and then go see them. Remember, when you see them, don't mention the conversations between you and me today. I know you are an open-minded person in your bones. But this matter cannot be said!"

"I understand!" Xiao Gu said, saluted his father, and then withdrew.

The emperor was the only one left in the room. The gray-haired emperor smiled and said to a direction in the air: "Ying'er has grown up."

"Yes, Your Majesty, much more mature than before." A soft voice came from the air.

"I feel relieved to leave this empire to him." The emperor sighed.

"Why don't you, Your Majesty..." The voice in the air seemed a little hesitant.

"No, I can't say it, I can't say it." The emperor repeated it twice, his slightly turbid eyes slightly opened, and he murmured: "The great terror between life and death, just cross it."

A sigh came from the air, and the study gradually became silent.

At 8 o'clock the next night, the first game of the third round of the Empire League, which was also the last round, officially began.

In this game, Team Fu Long played against Team Piao Miao.

At the pre-match press conference, Team Piao Miao, which had no pressure, said that they would play the last two games carefully and would never let the water go!

In response to this, countless people on the Internet couldn't help but laugh sympathetically -

Let the water go?

You better pray that you won't be pressed to the ground and rubbed repeatedly, and then beaten two times nine to zero!
