Bulwark of Light

Chapter 215 The Coward (Part 1)

The needle drop could be heard quietly in the ward.

It was as if time had stagnated.

The long leaves in the vase by the window no longer sway, and the white light without flicker falls on the faces of the two figures standing and lying down. But strange like a passerby.

“I’m coming…to see you.”

Zhao Qi raised his hands a little at a loss, then dropped them again, he came empty-handed, because he knew…father No shortage.

“Sit down.”

Just after finishing the communication with the Central Continent Council, Zhao Xilai’s thoughts were in chaos. He took a deep breath and raised his hand to signal his son to find a place to sit down. The ward was very large, but Zhao Qi sat beside the bed.

Actually he didn’t wear anything…

He did wear a necklace.

The necklace is on the inside of his shirt, he just needs to stretch his hand to take it out. Zhao Qi’s fingers start to tremble. As long as he gets close to his father…he can’t help but feel “awed” in his heart. “, the emotion of “fear”.

“You can come to see me…I’m very pleased.”

The old man looked at his son meaningfully, but there was not much relief in his tone.

Zhao Qi forced a smile.

He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but for a while, countless thoughts stuck in his mind. What is this… is it a greeting, or an encouragement? In an instant, his thoughts were pulled back to the long night many years ago. When he was a child, the father was already standing at the highest point of Dadu, and he ran desperately, hoping to get a little praise.

But unfortunately.

That cold, aloof and remote silhouette is not like his father, but a majestic mountain. No matter how much he spares no effort, that distant and ethereal man will not extend to himself. the hand.

Appreciate? Approved? Inspiration?

His childhood was nothing but loneliness and failure.

A voice sounded slowly, like a thunderbolt from the blue, shattering Zhao Qi’s chaotic thoughts.

“The matter of the Freedom Auditorium…is it your doing?”

Zhao Qi pupil shrinks, he turned his head back with poor acting skills, staring blankly at his father.

The old man said softly: “Lu Nanzhi’s spirit was exiled… If you want to do this in the auditorium shrouded in [Yanmeng], you need Xiaoxiao’s permission to release the spiritual link. According to my opinion You know, you are the only one who can move freely.”

Cold sweat appeared on Zhao Qi’s forehead.

His smile was a little stiff, “father…what are you talking about?”

“About a year ago, a mysterious person from the old town used anonymous communication With the help of that mysterious person, you started to cooperate with the Nanwan faction, and successfully concluded several transactions… In the board of directors of Huazhi, people began to look at you with admiration.” Zhao Xilai He lowered his eyebrows slightly, “I have followed these few businesses, and I have to say that what you have accomplished is remarkable. Ye Ningqiu, who always refuses to yield an inch, is willing to bow his head in negotiations, sacrificing most of his interests, in order to seek and spend money with him. At that time, Xiao Cui asked me to check the identity of the ‘mysterious person’.”

“But I didn’t do that. .”

“It’s not because I only look at interests…but because you are my son.” Zhao Xilai said calmly: “No one knows you better than me, you have never been a hero, You will not be able to do desperate things, you can’t control the wind and waves, and you can’t make a big disaster, if there is no accident… in this life, you will probably be a coward.”

This sentence is ugly. Somewhat real, some more cruel.

The smile on Zhao Qi’s face gradually disappeared.

He looked at his father and couldn’t think of what kind of person… would say such things to his own flesh and blood.

A coward…

A coward…

Who would be willing to be a coward?

“Last month, you hid by yourself, but you were actually injured.” Zhao Xilai said lightly, “I didn’t dare to borrow healing sealed items, because I was afraid that I would find out… be beaten. You have lost your teeth and you have to swallow it, what is this not a coward?”

Zhao Qi was stunned.

“Don’t dare to speak out…because you are afraid that something more serious will be shaken out.” The old man’s words were like a knife, scratching in Zhao Qi’s heart, “There is no revenge, just because you have no evidence, you are in The old city was beaten, and there was no [Sky Eye] set up there. If you were unlucky, you were taught a lesson, and no evidence could be found, so you can only leave it alone.”

The man sitting beside the bed was clearly upright. He is a young man, but he is extremely useless. He pulled his shoulders and lowered his eyes, his voice getting lower and lower: “Did… Liu Yi said it?”

The old man calmly said: “This kind of thing… …do you need her to say anything else? In Dadu, how can something hide from me.”

“The one who silently supports you is ‘Ow’. In those few businesses, Ye Ning Qiu’s regression is not a miracle, it’s just because she is also Xiao Xiao’s puppet.” Zhao Xilai’s tone was not disappointed, as usual, “So…all of this can be explained. The ultimate goal of long-term Foundation is to dilute The power system in the metropolitan area starts from the side of the parliamentarians, little by little disintegrates two huge groups, it is not enough to mentally manipulate one person, even if that person is very important.”

“Little by little wants you to I can take over the banner.”

Zhao Xilai looked at his son, “support you, this is… the simplest and most rude way.”

Don’t contact Lu Nanzhi, yes Because the danger of contacting Lu Nanzhi is too high, Madam hates the long-term Foundation. Once the bewitching fails, Xiao will take a devastating blow.

The same… in the Huaqi faction, who else is more suitable for contact than Zhao Qi?

No more.

However, Xiao Xiao’s biggest miscalculation was that he overestimated Zhao Qi’s ambition and Zhao Qi’s courage.

“That night, the night you were beaten… I went to the old town to find Xiao Xiao.” Zhao Xilai’s words no longer meant questioning or rhetorical questioning. Little by little shook out the truth hidden by the device: “He gave you a spiritual sealed artifact… And it’s not the first time, Nan Zhi suffered from ‘insomnia’ for a while before. The crow’s rage, also It has something to do with that. He’s looking for the murderer, and you should be thankful that he didn’t leave any evidence.”

“Otherwise…he’ll really kill you.”

in this brief moment.

Zhao Qi felt that something in his heart ka-cha cracked open.

He looked at his father… He only felt that this was not just a mountain that had been pressing in his heart for many years, but also a cage. The father watched everything that happened in Dadu, everything he did. , can’t hide it from his sight, those little tricks, careful thinking, but he doesn’t want to break it.

“Yes…”

Zhao Qi stood up slowly, he laughed, and confessed: “I did the work of the Freedom Auditorium.”

After saying this, the heavy stone in my heart was instantly put down.

Relieved.

“You want to kill Lu Nanzhi and inherit the flag.” The old man looked at his son, still expressionless.

“No…”

Zhao Qi felt that his whole body became lighter and his fingers no longer seemed to tremble. The necklace was taken out.

“I use this sealed artifact…”

Zhao Qi looked at the necklace like a demon, and murmured, “It only takes a little while to wear it, and then the consciousness will change. Banished forever.”

“How can the spirit of exile be counted as…killed?”
