Chapter 441 Aren’t You Afraid that I Will Kill You?

Phoenix Villa.

Tang Fei sat in front of Fenghuang and said indignantly: "I didn't expect something like this to happen. By the time I knew about it, they had already done it."

"After all, he is the current ruler of the country, and you have such a strong relationship with him. I think killing people is not right, there is no need to do such a thing."

"But you also know that the old man has a stubborn temper. Once he makes a decision, no one can change it."

Seeing Fenghuang remained silent and the green tea in her hand was almost cold but she hadn't even taken a sip, Tang Fei couldn't help but feel distressed.

This is a girl whose eyes and heart were once filled with herself. They met in the old land, on the planet where acid rain and monsters frequently appeared.

From being wary of each other to sharing weal and woe.

Grab water, cook food, hunt animals, avoid acid rain, fight predators, and fight the Flame Shrine.
The moment the girl got on the star disc and left, Tang Fei felt that his heart was empty, as if a large piece of it had been dug out.

No, it became a transparent hole.

She took his whole heart away.

It was then that he realized he loved her.

It was also the first time that he knew what it felt like to like someone.

Fenghuang did not let this feeling down. She found ways to "introduce" him and Xiaopang to Xinxing, finding a school for them, giving them a school yard, and giving them sincere care and passionate emotions.

She changed the lives of Tang Fei and Xiao Pang.

How did it come to this?

Where will he and Phoenix go from now on?

Thinking of this, Tang Fei also fell silent.

"Did Shen Xinglan retreat?" Sheng Xinhuai, who was sitting next to Fenghuang, asked.

Sheng Xinhuai has never left the palace since he last entered it.

She knew that Phoenix was going through the darkest moment of her life, and compared to her family, she needed her company more at this time.

Adversity sees the truth.

Considering Fenghuang's current situation and the reckoning that the Zhong royal family will face in the future, I'm afraid most people would be eager to draw a line between themselves and them and stay away from them.

However, Sheng Xinhuai never worried about the future of himself and his family.

She felt that Phoenix needed her now, so she appeared in front of her without hesitation.

Never give up.

These are true friends, even real sisters are no more than this.

It's not some fake friendship between besties. They try their best to take advantage of opportunities when they can, but run faster than anyone else when they encounter danger.

Tang Fei raised his head and looked at Sheng Xinhuai and found that she was blinking at him.

He immediately understood what she wanted to say, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and explained: "After being silent for a while, the Vulcan Army suddenly gathered together to attack the Phoenix Palace, with Shen Xinglan as the commander-in-chief."

"The Phoenix Palace is short-handed. With the current strength, I'm afraid we can't resist even one round. If we let them break into the Phoenix Palace, the people inside will be in great danger."

"That's why the old man resorted to this desperate measure. I'm not trying to defend him, there's really no better way."

Tang Fei knew that Sheng Xinhuai suddenly raised this question and mentioned the name "Shen Xinglan" in order to confuse the situation.

If we don't mention what Shen Xinglan did, all the faults will be piled on me alone.

Now that Shen Xinglan is involved, there will be someone to share the burden.
If Shen Xinglan hadn't attacked Phoenix Palace, could they have done such a thing?

If we don't send the current leader to a high altitude to show himself, what if the outside world mistakenly thinks he is dead?
Thinking about it this way, isn't Shen Xinglan's crime more serious?
Sheng Xinhuai was speaking for Tang Fei. As a bystander of their relationship, she didn't want them to become enemies who would "never have anything to do with each other again."

"The Shen family is really going too far." Sheng Xinhuai said with disgust, "When we were waiting for their rescue, they did not move. Now that the situation has stabilized, they are attacking again. Do they want to kill us all?"

"They have their own interests to consider," Tang Fei responded implicitly.

It's not easy to say too much about this kind of thing, just be brief.

With Phoenix's wisdom, how could it not see Shen's evil intentions?
They wanted Zhong Daolong to die more than anyone else, preferably at their own hands.
Now that Zhong Daolong is dead, the eldest prince Zhong Tianque, who they hold in their hands, can naturally ascend to the throne.

Use the emperor to command the princes.

Then, they can safely be their own emperors behind the scenes.

If Zhong Daolong doesn't die, their plan will not be able to be implemented properly.

There will be twists and turns.

This is also the reason why Shen waited patiently when the Phoenix Palace just happened, and now when he found out that Zhong Daolong was still alive and the situation was out of his control, he suddenly launched an attack.
Fenghuang suddenly looked up, looked at Tang Fei and asked, "Are you tired?"

Tang Fei was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Tired."

How can I not be tired?

This is a complicated and dangerous situation. If you are not careful, you will end up dead.
And caught up in this mess is his relationship with Phoenix.

He has to be very careful with everything.

"I'm tired too."

Phoenix said exhaustedly.

"."

Coming out of Phoenix Cottage, the old man stood at the door and asked, "How was the chat?"

"not so good?"

"You didn't put the blame on me?"

This was something he and the bandit Tang had agreed on, to put all the blame on the old man and let him bear all the blame alone.

People who have died once no longer care about anything.

If it wasn't for the purpose of cleaning up the mess for Tang Bandit and gaining a glimmer of hope for the family, he would have died with Zhong Daolong in his arms.
This is the belonging he has longed for.

"I said I knew nothing about it. Do you think she would believe it?"

"No." The old man shook his head decisively and said, "This girl is very smart. She has a clear mind and sees through many things without saying anything."

"Yeah, I'm starting to feel guilty as I talk." Tang Fei had a helpless expression on his face.

When Phoenix asked him if he was tired, didn’t she already show that she knew everything?

"Then why did you come?" The old man curled his lips and asked back.

"To explain is a matter of attitude, not to explain is a matter of quality."

Tang Fei explained that even if Fenghuang was unwilling to accept this reason, she would feel better after all.

If Tang Fei did not explain and pretended that such a thing had never happened, it would be indifference and he would be betraying Fenghuang's deep love.

The old man sighed, looked at Tang Fei and asked, "Aren't you tired?"

"."

Don't you know if I'm tired?
"Someone is coming from Shen Wuxiang's side."

The old man knew that Tang Fei didn't want to discuss this topic in depth, so he spoke out.

"How to say?"

"They agreed to negotiate." The old man said.

Previously, Shen Wuxiang sent people to negotiate, but was rejected by the old man.

The situation was too bad at that time. We were at a disadvantage and had no say at the negotiation table.

You have to give people what they want and listen to what they say.

What would they do if Shen Wuxiang asked them to withdraw from the Phoenix Palace and let the Lu family fully submit to the Shen family?

Now that the crisis at Luban Mountain has been resolved, the Qin family is standing openly with the Lu family.

If Shen Wuxiang eats in an ugly way, they would have the courage to overturn the table.

If you fight, win first, and then hurt your opponent. What you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get at the negotiation table.

"Where do we talk?" asked Tang Fei.

There is no way Shen Wuxiang would come to Phoenix Palace, and there is no way Tang Fei and his men would go to Shen Wuxiang's territory.

So, it’s best to find an area that everyone can accept.

"The Zoo." the old man said.

Bandit Tang knew that Hundred Beasts Mountain was an animal farm on the outskirts of Phoenix City.

It houses various wild animals from the Blue Star before the Cataclysm, as well as some animal inhabitants from the new planet.

There are also some extremely rare exotic animals captured by ocean transport teams from other planets or galaxies.

When Tang Fei and Xiaopang first arrived at Xinxing, Xiaopang saw the introduction of the Zoo on TV and kept clamoring to go and play.

As a result, due to various reasons, the two brothers have not yet made the trip.

I didn't expect to have to negotiate in that place.
"Is it safe?" asked Tang Fei.

"Is Phoenix Palace safe?" the old man asked.

"."

Is Phoenix Palace safe?

If it weren't for them sending Zhong Daolong to the front, they would have been flattened by the Vulcan Army long ago.

The limited guard force in the Phoenix Palace cannot compete with the regular army.

But, if even the Phoenix Palace is not safe, where else on Nova is absolutely safe?

"Can we negotiate via video?" Tang Fei asked.

According to the current AI projection technology, it is just like sitting face to face.
Online negotiation is simple and convenient, and can also ensure the safety of both parties.

"If we don't even dare to meet, what's the need for negotiation?" The old man glanced at Tang Fei and spoke out.

Tang Fei nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go then."

"No, I'll go."

"I go."

The old man looked at Tang Fei with a serious expression and said, "If anything happens to you, what's the point of us doing all this?"

"If you have one," said Tang Fei.

"If I die in their hands, you will still have a chance to avenge me."

"just in case"

"Nothing will happen." The old man interrupted Tang Fei and said, "It's decided."

"I'll go with you."

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket." The old man shook his head and said, "You stay at Phoenix Palace. There are more important things to do."
-
Zoo of Menagerie.

A Phoenix brand flying car landed at the parking lot of the Observatory. A young officer in brown military uniform came up quickly, took the initiative to help open the car door, and asked, "Mr. Lu? The military minister is waiting for you inside."

"Thank you." The old man nodded to the young officer, and even tried hard to force a smile on his wrinkled face.

The old man is not a very well-educated person, but today is an important day for negotiations, and the main point is peace.

The young officer looked at the old man in surprise, said "You're welcome", then lowered his head and led the way.

Open-air teahouse.

Shen Wuxiang sat in the tea room drinking tea, and what he saw was the endless grassland.

There are mountains, rivers, lakes, flowers, dense forests, birds and animals.

There were also a few golden sunbirds flying and circling nearby. The bold ones even landed on the tea table and stole the fruits and snacks on the table.

Shen Wuxiang refused to persuade him, and the officers serving around him did not dare to move.

Then, the sunbird became more and more bold, and even flew to Shen Wuxiang's shoulders and head, singing triumphantly to its companions.

Hearing the footsteps coming from the stairs, Shen Wuxiang shifted his gaze over there.

Seeing Lu Yu walking towards him step by step, Shen Wuxiang's eyes narrowed slightly.

The men who were called one of the "two pillars of the empire" by the previous emperor, the two most outstanding heroes of their time, were popular among thousands of girls and were regarded as heroic idols by countless citizens.
How could I end up in such a situation today?

He was younger than himself, but Lu Yu looked much older at this moment.

His hair and beard were all white, and he looked emaciated.

His body was hunched, as if a heavy burden was pressing on his back.

The hero is old and his glory is gone.

What a pity, what a pity.

While Shen Wuxiang was looking at Lu Yu, Lu Yu was also looking at Shen Wuxiang.

After Tang Li's death, he took over Tang Li's power and status in the military and became the new number one in the military.

After decades of operation, the Shen family is now at its peak. They are not a royal family, but they are better than royal family.

His expression was serious and his eyes were deep and cold.

Even when drinking tea and relaxing, he still keeps his back straight.

This is a habit he developed during his many years of military career, and it also expresses his inherent tenacity and dominance.

This is Shen Wuxiang, the military minister who is known as one of the three ministers of the Phoenix Empire. Most importantly, he is the one who carries out the "Tang Destruction Plan".

A real butcher.

"Sit down." Shen Wuxiang made an inviting gesture.

Lu Yu didn't hesitate and pulled out a chair to sit opposite Shen Wuxiang.

"Are you here alone?" Shen Wuxiang asked.

puff!

The old man grinned, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth.

"I'm here to chat with you, not to fight with you. Why did you bring so many people?"

"Besides, what's the difference between bringing one person and a hundred people? As long as the military minister is unhappy, won't they all be thrown into the menagerie to feed the wild beasts?" said the old man with a smile.

"After all these years, you are still so annoying and sharp-tongued."

"Hahaha, after so many years, the military prime minister's demeanor is still enviable."

"Oh?" Shen Wuxiang looked at Lu Yu with a puzzled look.

He actually praised himself?

"Proving treason is a good business and anyone who does it will benefit." The old man said sarcastically.

Shen Wuxiang's eyes were as sharp as a knife. The pressure and chill he exuded at this moment made the surrounding officers' hearts stop, their blood coagulated, and even their breathing became sluggish.

The old man was fearless. He picked up the black tea in front of him and took a sip, then grabbed some of his favorite dried fruits and put them into his mouth, chewing them with a crunching sound.

"History is written by the victors." Shen Wuxiang looked into the old man's eyes and said, "In every history book or on the Internet, Tang Li's name is written on the list of traitors."

"You can write it on or take it off. You can write Tang Li's name on it or change it to Shen Wuxiang's name." The old man looked into his eyes unscrupulously: "Didn't you say it? History is written by the victors."

"You think you can win?"

The old man rolled his eyes and said, "Nonsense, do you think you will lose?"

Shen Wuxiang and Yue Zhiyuan were both somewhat angered by the old man's words. Their sword-like eyebrows flew up: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
