Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 1131
The five governors, the four major families, until Zhou Liang finished explaining the complex situation in Yan's interior to him, it was dark outside.

The pot of tea has bottomed out, and the cups of the two are also empty.

Zhou Liang stood up, even though his back hurt from sitting, he still maintained a respectful attitude.

"My lord, let me make you a pot of tea again."

Xia Feng waved his hand.

"No, it's getting late, and I'm going home too, Lao Zhou, you should get off work early and rest."

Zhou Liang stood straight and smiled slightly.

"The lower officials still have some documents to be left for approval, sir, let's go first."

This sentence made Xia Feng a little embarrassed. To put it bluntly, he insisted on dragging Zhou Liang over to chat, which delayed his work and off-duty time.

"Okay, then go get busy, I'll just pack up and go back."

"Yes."

After answering, Zhou Liang did not leave directly, but still stood beside Xia Feng.

Xia Feng was slightly puzzled.

"Do you have anything else to do?"

Zhou Liang leaned forward slightly.

"My lord, if it's a small talk, then I would like to ask a question. It's about you personally. In fact, I'm just curious. I don't know whether to ask it or not."

After getting along for so long, this is the first time Xia Feng heard that Zhou Liang wanted to take the initiative to ask him personal questions.

"Of course you can ask."

The office at night is very quiet, and the staff of the Governor's Mansion have basically left work.

The two professionally trained shadow guard girls stood at the door, as if they had become one in the night.

Zhou Liang's voice was not as serious as before, but revealed a human touch from the heart.

"My lord, you have asked me so much about the situation in the interior of Yan country. I think you don't know anything about Yan country. I am afraid to ask you, when the dispute is settled, why did you sit on the governor of Yan country?" What about this location?"

If Zhou Liang asked this question abruptly, it would indeed sound offensive.

According to Zhou Liang's cautious personality, it is obviously not his style to ask such a question, and he is more likely to be suspected by his boss.

However, Zhou Liang still asked.

Xia Feng knew that Zhou Liang was not questioning him, but wanted to know as much as possible about his immediate boss outside of the scope of work.

Or maybe, in Zhou Liang's humble heart, he also wants to regard him as a friend.

Faced with this question, Xia Feng did not show any displeasure, but replied truthfully with a smile on his face.

"It's a long story. To put it simply, the Nishinomiya family has been kind to me. I have sworn that I will keep the Nishinomiya family invincible in this dispute. Now that the dust has settled, in the With the intervention of both Yan Guo and Victoria, I can only fulfill my oath by winning the position of governor."

This answer does not have the power and conspiracy that the superiors often accompany, but there is a sense of friendship in the purity.

Hearing that Xia Fengken answered his inappropriate question so sincerely, Zhou Liang was very moved.

"My lord, you are really a man of love and righteousness. This is not flattery, but the sincere words of the subordinate."

In the empty office at night, Xia Feng took off the governor's aloof mask.

There are mixed flavors in his smile.

"Old Zhou, I'm actually very happy that you can see me like this. To be honest, I'm not sure if I'm a kind and righteous person. I've made many mistakes, killed many people, and lost important brothers and sisters. , until now, I can only try my best to climb to the peak of power, I don't know if what I'm doing is right, I can only blindly believe, only in this way, when the unpredictable storm comes in the future, I can no longer regret it."

Men rarely show their weakness and confusion to others.

Seeing the man in front of him who was in a high position at such a young age, but whose eyes were so vicissitudes as if he had experienced vicissitudes of life, Zhou Liang had an indescribable emotion in his heart.

Loyalty, loyalty, admiration, and touch, none of which seem to be true. If you have to describe it, it's like a subtle tacit understanding between men.

Glancing secretly at Xia Feng's right eye which was covered by the blindfold, Zhou Liang continued to speak.

"My lord, you seem to have experienced a lot."

Now when it comes to this topic, Xia Feng has no evasions, and there is nothing to hide.

"Is there a lot of things? It's not counted. It's just a little bit more than normal people in a certain period of time."

Seeing that Xia Feng was not unhappy, Zhou Liang wanted to take the opportunity to learn more, so he continued to ask boldly.

"My lord, let me ask again, you. You seem to have a very good relationship with Victoria, among them."

"Do you want to know why?"

Zhou Liang lowered his head.

"The next official didn't speculate on what you mean. If it's inconvenient, the next official didn't ask."

"Old Zhou, you haven't heard of me before you came to Yandong."

Zhou Liang raised his head and thought for a while.

"The news in the interior of Yan is not well-informed, and the previous position of the next official, I can't get much news from abroad. I only know that Victoria experienced a civil turmoil a year ago, and after the civil turmoil was quelled, the Empire officially announced that you died"

With Zhou Liang's position, knowing so much about the real situation in Victoria at that time was already the limit.

For Victoria, the Dark Ages were not an event to be celebrated, or even called a disgrace to the Empire.

Of course, the empire will deliberately block the details of the civil strife. It is difficult for outsiders to know the specific truth except for its own citizens.

[The civil strife started when the queen expelled the infected, and then because of the intervention of the surrounding allies and the joint uprising of the infected in the southern military region, it won the final victory. Wei Na, who led the rebel army, became the new king. 】

This is the Victoria incident from the perspective of an outsider. Officials like Zhou Liang may know more, but not too much.

Only people like Yan Guoxiang, Lin Hong, and Wei Yanwu will know the real details. For them, these things need to spend energy to investigate.

It's human nature for Zhou Hao to be curious about this matter.

Xia Feng didn't feel the slightest bitterness and hatred, but instead replied in a relaxed tone.

"This matter is not a secret. Yes, my relationship with Victoria was established during that civil strife."

"grown ups."

Xia Feng leaned on the back of the chair and said leisurely.

"When the civil strife was at its height, I used my own money to arm an army of more than 200 million infected people, and fought all the way from the city of Sandi in the south to the city of Londinium in the north. Then, I picked out my right eye. The sword tore through the walls, and King Vena was placed on Victoria's throne with her own hands."

The understatement fell, and the office fell into dead silence.

Not only Zhou Liang was shocked by this answer, even the two shadow guard girls who had been guarding the office door with expressionless faces couldn't help but look sideways at Xia Feng with disbelieving eyes at this moment.

Standing up from the chair, Xia Feng stretched greatly.

"Okay, I had a good chat tonight, Lao Zhou, I will go back first, Xiao Kong, Xiao Ling, you will get off work after I leave, have you been expecting me to leave quickly, haha, okay , everyone, rest early."

After finishing speaking, Xia Feng put on a black coat and left the office briskly.

Only Zhou Liang and the two shadow guard girls were left, immersed in the shock of the last sentence.
