Qi Dabing looked at him and smiled. He gently placed the steaming handkerchief on the table and said calmly, "Since you don't want to go back to the Imperial Palace, then don't go back. Since you don't like the Empire, then don't stay in the Left Sky Star Region.
"Although you can't go back to the Federation, I think Bermuda is still a good place to go. I believe that with your ability, you will have a great time in that paradise of adventurers."
"Of course." The smile on his face gradually disappeared. He said seriously, "The organization will definitely launch a continuous hunt for you. But to be honest, people like you and me won't be killed so easily. Besides, you have the help of that princess."
Xu Le listened quietly. He narrowed his eyes and looked at him. Suddenly, he said, "You killed him?"
Qi Dabing's expression froze slightly. Then, he said calmly, "A revolution has always been a life and death movement. It is a storm, not a light breeze or drizzle. A revolution is a baptism, a revolution is an evolution. It is when the old is gone and the new is positive. It is when the sacrifice of a few people is used to advance the general trend."
"You talk a lot of nonsense." Xu Le looked at him quietly.
"I gave him a chance. Just now, I rushed in so recklessly and angrily and questioned him. What was his reaction? He didn't react at all. He didn't change this absurd idea. He still wants to push you onto the throne. What made me feel even more disdainful was that he actually didn't get angry. He didn't reprimand me. Is he afraid of me? Or is he trying to maintain a calm appearance and launch a fierce counterattack against me later? "
Qi Dabing's eyebrows raised slightly. His usually sharp and cold eyes were full of contempt and mockery. He said, "It was his calmness that made me make up my mind. In order to express his damn sincerity to you, he drove away all the people in the corridor. Then, when he walked out of this room, his fate was already sealed. "
"Your fate has already been decided. You will bear the crime of killing a senior leader of the organization."
Xu Le slightly lowered his eyes, silently looking at the teacup in front of him and the cup of tea left by Tang Zhizhong on the opposite side of the table. Thinking of the old and tired figure before the door was closed, and thinking of the old man's body that was being dragged into the shadow somewhere in the corridor, he couldn't help but slowly frown. He understood that he was not mentally prepared at all, but had come into close contact with the resistance organization's cruel war for power, and witnessed a cold-blooded murder with his own eyes.
"I didn't think you would do such a cruel thing, so I wasn't prepared." He raised his head and looked at Qi Dabing calmly, asking, "But why did you do this?"
"Why?" Qi Dabing's voice was slightly higher, making it sound a bit shrill. After laughing for a long time, he said mockingly, "You can see this as a very simple political struggle. Right now, the organization needs a strong core leader, not like the past few years, where all the spirit of the organization is being worn down by the bullsh * t committee."
"This is completely different from the impression I had of you before." Xu Le looked into his eyes and said seriously, "Using a centralized method to fight against the centralized rule of the empire? Using lies to fight lies? I hate this method very much, and I believe you want more than this. "
Hearing this, Qi Dabing was silent for a long time, and somewhat irritably grabbed the wet towel and threw it to the corner of the table. He frowned and said, "Of course, I want more things. You probably don't remember, many people in the organization have deliberately forgotten this."
He raised his head and looked at Xu Le, laughed self-deprecatingly, and said, "My surname is also Huai, I am a marginal descendant of the Huai Royal Family in Bai Yan."
"So?" Xu Le looked at this indifferent face and continued to ask.
"The war on Mo Hua planet is very fierce, the whistling bullets do not have eyes that discriminate between classes. For them, there is no difference between the royal family and the slaves. In my opinion, the possibility of Huai Caoshi dying in the hands of the Federal Army is very high."
"As long as this princess dies, that tyrant in the palace will have no more descendants. At that time, with the full support of the entire resistance organization, I will reveal my royal identity to the entire universe and contact the important officials of various departments through the spies hidden in the government. At that time, I will raise my arm, and no matter if it is the people at the bottom or the nobles, they will have no other choice but to elect me as the emperor. "
Qi Dabing described his plan with a cold expression. His eyes were indifferent, but some kind of invisible wildfire could be faintly seen burning in his eyes.
"Back then, Teacher nurtured me, and Leader Voss valued me and chose me as his successor. This had a lot to do with my royal identity. I even thought that when I was young, they had arranged my life this way, and I was very willing to accept this arrangement."
Qi Dabing's tone suddenly turned cold. He stared at Xu Le's face and said gloomily, "However, back then, when you first appeared on Tianjing planet as a fugitive from the Federation and were imprisoned in Master Fan's manor, Teacher, who rarely contacted me, actually did not hesitate to expose my identity to save you! Voss, that old fool, even placed the entire resistance organization's future on you. He did not hesitate to bear the crime of betraying the country just to cooperate with the Federation!
"Until now, you have actually become the Empire's only successor! Everything changed overnight. That dead old man and the stubborn political speculators in the committee all felt that their chance had come, and they chose you.
"Why? You asked me why, and I also want to ask you why. Why did you appear in front of me? If fate had chosen you, then what about me? Why do you also have such dirty blood flowing in your body? Why did you appear and take everything away from me when I had already accepted this arrangement of fate? "
Qi Dabing suddenly stood up, and his sharp gaze pierced through the spreading wildfire. He stared at Xu Le's face and roared angrily and coldly.
"The Void Lord Republic wants someone to be the emperor? I should be the one to do it! My surname is also Huai!
…
…
Xu Le looked at him quietly as if he was looking at a lunatic. Then, he said, "You are a lunatic. You want to overthrow the emperor's rule, but in the end, you only want to be the emperor yourself. Then what about your revolutionary will? What about your baptism? What about your storm? What about your evolution? "
"Why, is this not okay?" Qi Dabing looked at him mockingly and asked in return.
After a moment of silence, Xu Le said directly, "As long as I am alive, then of course not. For a person like you, even if you continue to live, I will feel disgusted when I think of looking up at the same starry sky as you, let alone being the emperor."
"You are indeed very righteous."
Qi Dabing looked at him with a faint smile and said mockingly, "But what can you do? You don't dare to kill me. The more righteous you are, the less you dare to kill me. Whether that fat woman is worth you giving up the throne or not, in order to play the role of righteous you have always been, you can only do as I say. "
"Of course." He spread his hands and said coldly, "I am not stupid enough to use that fat woman's life to threaten you to commit suicide. I only ask that you leave and never talk about today's content."
Xu Le sat silently by the table. He had no intention of getting up, nor did he open his mouth to speak.
Qi Dabing frowned slightly and pointed at the small window behind him that was about to welcome the setting sun. He said, "I will give you one last chance. Jump down from here and immediately leave the empire. Then, I will let her go."
Xu Le raised his head and squinted at his face. He said, "I will give you one last chance. Immediately let her go, and then let the rest of the people in the building go. I will not participate in the internal struggle of your organization."
Qi Dabing looked at him like he was an idiot. He said, "You should understand one thing. Right now, only I have the right to threaten you. You don't have any means to threaten me."
Xu Le's shoulders sank slightly. The hand that had been holding the teacup slowly moved away from the table. Their palms were facing each other. He looked at him and said, "I am threatening you with your own life. Then, I want to tell you something that very few people know. I have never been threatened by anyone since I was a child."
Qi Dabing suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the quiet room had become somewhat heavy. It was clear that his most trusted subordinate had taken control of the entire floor, so no one should be able to disturb the negotiation here. He frowned and said, "As long as a person is alive, they will inevitably be threatened, because they will always care about some people or things."
"But I have always refused to enter such a situation."
Xu Le replied, "You don't know how hard my life has been. If I had to accept threats, I would have died countless times. My enemies in the Federation know this very well, so they have never dared to use my friends and family to threaten me. Once they fail, they will face a very terrifying me."
His voice was very calm, as if he was narrating a very ordinary fact. Qi Dabing's gaze became extremely vigilant, because he heard some kind of unshakable will.
A strong will came from a strong fact. Back in the Federation, Madam Mochou in the back of the mountain had tried to use Xu Le to threaten Xu Le. Xu Le had stepped on the snow in Charter Square for a night and used Madam Zhong to resolve this situation. Then, he had infiltrated S2 to kill Macklin, destroying the plan that Madam Tai had planned for a long time. During this process, he had never thought of accepting threats.
After being threatened by those big shots once, his family, friends, and lovers would constantly be in danger because of him. Xu Le absolutely could not accept this situation, so he used this method to express his attitude. Since then, all of his enemies, including President Pabre, had to think for a long time before making a move against people related to him, and they had to endure great psychological pressure.
"What you are doing today is actually something that Huai Caoshi has done before. Back then, when she and I were imprisoned in Master Fan's manor, she tried to use Aunt Susan to threaten me to surrender, but I did not agree, and she did not dare to make any further attempts. Do you know why?"
"Because I said something to her. Because I hate being forced to do certain things. If you force me into a corner, I will become a dog, a mad dog."
Xu Le stood up from the table, looked at Qi Dabing expressionlessly, and said, "Today, I will repeat to you one more time. If you dare to harm Aunt Susan, I will become a dog, a dog that salivates fiercely, stares at your calf, and will do anything to take a few bites. I will bite you until you are full of wounds, oozing pus, and your whole body rots to death."
