A million ways to survive in the dungeon
Chapter 148: One hundred and forty-nine: Relatives of the emperor? Just kill him!
On the east side of the position, in the overseer's camp.
On the other hand, the bearded man has long lost the figure he had when he drove away Zheng Yi six years ago. He has become fat and bloated, echoing his fat head. The whole person looks like a gourd with arms and legs.
The workers outside are covered in stinky sweat from working hard in the winter.
Xiao Baoguo, however, was wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket, burning a charcoal fire, and stayed in the tent, patiently counting the gold coins in the money box.
"Dad~ I want to buy a pair of Luoyunge shoes. Everyone is moving recently and the prices of things have increased."
On the side, Xiao Xuanzai applied her nail polish carefully and said casually.
Xiao Baoguo was in a good mood. He smiled and said, "When the project is over and Dad has made enough, he will take you to the rear with you. When the time comes, Dad will tell you whatever you want to buy."
When Xiao Xuan heard this, she was overjoyed: "Thank you, dad~"
Xiao Baoguo smiled and said: "If anything, I have to thank you, dear daughter. If our stupid son-in-law hadn't betrayed our country behind our backs, how could I have been demoted by His Majesty? How could I have escaped from this battle?"
When Xiao Xuan heard this, she smiled like a chrysanthemum: "Yes, I didn't know what to do when Luo Xia died at first.
Look now, if it weren't for that idiot Rorschach, my father and I would have to stay behind to do the logistics. "
Speaking of this, Xiao Xuan and Xiao Baoguo both laughed.
The rescue battle in Guiya Mountain ended with Rorschach's death.
At first, Xiao Xuan was really frightened.
After being rescued, Xiao Xuan, Xiao Baoguo, and even the entire clan mansion were restricted from investigation by the Inspection Department.
Although it was later proven that this was Rorschach's personal behavior.
But because of this, the status of Zongren Ling, who was originally criticized and disliked by His Majesty, plummeted again.
The only remaining real power of the clan order: royal records and the writing of historical annals, were completely deprived.
Originally, both Xiao Baoguo and Xiao Xuan felt that their lives and future were gloomy.
But I never expected it.
Not long after, news came of the absolute defense of Warcraft.
Originally, when this happened, King Situ Zhou's policy was very simple: members of the royal family should take the lead, form a royal vanguard, and set an example to all warriors.
As a clan leader, if Luo Xia's troubles had not happened, Xiao Baoguo's family would definitely go to the battlefield.
Even if it's just for show.
But it's different now.
Because of Luo Xia's incident, the Zongren Mansion completely lost Situ Zhou's remaining trust.
Although the position of Xiao Baoguo's clan order was kept, his real power was completely deprived, and he naturally lost the qualification to become the royal vanguard.
Not only that, he was also assigned to be the chief engineer of the position, and he would leave immediately after the position was completed.
Unexpectedly, being demoted also had the benefits of being demoted. Xiao Baoguo was so happy that he even thanked his son-in-law Luo Xia for treason.
There is no need to go to the battlefield, and there is still money to be made. Please give me another demotion.
Xiao Baoguo even despised Situ Zhou in his heart.
No wonder the world calls you a foolish king.
Your biggest shortcoming is that there are too many saints like Jin Ge, General Long, and Zhao Aotian around you, so you think of everyone around you as a saint.
Thinking of this, Xiao Baoguo happily closed the cash box and threw it into the secret compartment under the table.
In the secret room, there are twenty or thirty similar money boxes that can hold five hundred gold coins.
"It's only been a few days, and I've already earned ten thousand gold coins. My daughter, we have to give Luo Xia some incense later to thank him for the good fortune he has brought us."
When Xiao Xuan heard this, she even smiled brightly: "Okay, daddy, you really have a bodhisattva heart. If someone knows Luo Xiaquan, you will be very happy, right?"
"Hahaha, that's the clan order. Otherwise, what should I do for my father?"
The camp was filled with the laughter of the father and daughter.
However, at this moment.
"I don't think there's any need to burn incense. You two might as well go down and accompany him."
A slightly familiar voice interrupted the laughter of father and daughter.
"who?"
Xiao Baoguo heard the sound and looked over.
I saw the tent curtain being torn off violently.
A young man and woman broke into the camp.
The white-haired boy was holding an overseer in his hand.
The supervisor had already been strangled to death, his neck was pinched as thin as chopsticks, and he was holding it in his hand like a rag.
This way of dragging a dead man out is extremely visually impactful.
Xiao Baoguo suddenly turned green and shouted: "You...who are you?"
Xiao Xuan next to her recognized Zheng Qian as soon as she saw him, and her delicate body trembled with fright: "Zheng... Zheng Qian?"
"Zheng Qian?" Xiao Baoguo was shocked: "Is that... the most popular young man in the royal city now, who I heard can inherit the King of War? Was he with Zheng Yi during the last expedition against Guiya Mountain?"
Xiao Xuan was so frightened that she was dripping with cold sweat. She couldn't say even a single word, so she could only tremble and nod.
"You know me? That'll be easier to talk to."
Zheng Qian threw the dead man aside as if throwing away garbage, pointed at the body and said to Xiao Baoguo: "You didn't train the dog well. When I heard that I was looking for you, I don't know where I got the courage to pull it out." Want to stab me with a knife?
I helped you kill me, do you have any objection? "
Xiao Baoguo took one look at the corpse, and his already cold heart suddenly became cold.
That was his personal bodyguard, and this time he was brought here to serve as the supervisor in charge of the third war zone. He was Xiao Baoguo's most trusted and strongest bodyguard.
He was pinched so hard that his eyes popped out, and he died in a miserable state.
It can be seen that there are no other external injuries on his body, and the stranglehold is not a break of the neck, so it cannot be a sneak attack.
It shows that he was strangled to death with almost no power to fight back.
How much finger strength is needed to pinch the neck of such a master as thin as chopsticks?
"You...what do you want?" Seeing that the person coming was not kind, Xiao Baoguo moved his stool back in fear.
Zheng Qian turned his head indifferently: "If you want to step on the alarm bell under your feet, forget it. I have defeated all the guards outside."
"impossible!"
When Xiao Baoguo heard this, he immediately panicked: "There are more than a hundred people outside, how can you..."
"Only those shrimp soldiers and crab generals?"
Zheng Qian waved his hand, ignored him, and walked straight to the table: "Zong Renling, can you explain why there are so many shoddy projects outside?"
Xiao Baoguo swallowed: "You...what are you talking about, I...I can't understand."
"I don't have time to practice Tai Chi with you, and I'm not interested in giving you examples or evidence. Either answer, or I'll kill you now."
Zheng Qian's attitude was extremely arrogant.
If Zhao Aotian made Zheng Qian unhappy, then at least he could win Zheng Qian's respect.
But Xiao Baoguo...
hehe.
If I hadn't brought Mao Nanbei to see the positions today, and the war would begin in nineteen days, wouldn't I be tricked to death by a bastard like you?
"say!!!"
There was a boom.
Seeing that Xiao Baoguo remained silent, Zheng Qian roared, and the entire camp was turned into a balloon by the sound waves, and exploded into rags all over the ground.
Xiao Baoguo was shocked and bleeding from all his orifices on the spot. Xiao Xuan beside him was even shocked and fell to the ground on all fours.
"Wait...wait a minute!"
Xiao Baoguo was so frightened that he repeatedly called for mercy, and begged: "This...you can't blame me for this!
We are officials, you... you are an adventurer, big... everyone is just looking for money, if this matter is left to you, won't you be able to make money from it?
Zheng...Zheng Qian, I...I have heard of your name and that you love money.
This... let's do this, I'll give you half of what I earn... no, 70%, let's cooperate? how?
You are so strong. If you and I work together, we will definitely be able to make more money. This is a win-win situation. "
Xiao Baoguo's words made Zheng Qian's eyes soften a little.
Zheng Qian said: "I came here just out of curiosity. You said that our entire country is about to be destroyed, but you are still in the mood to make money. What do you think?"
When Xiao Baoguo heard this, he put on a hard and pale smile and said, "You... aren't you also making money? I... I heard that you blackmailed the king for 30,000 gold coins some time ago."
"That's right, I do like money."
"Then...then we are the same."
Xiao Baoguo said: "You are an adventurer who loves money. I am a clan leader and a high official. If you take a piece of fat meat out of the refrigerator and put it back again, what will be left on your hands? Of course it is oil and water.
I put it on you and take this job. If you don't make some money, is it worthy of your own conscience? Isn't it? "
"emmm...that makes sense."
There's drama!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Baoguo was overjoyed.
Yes, I am a member of the clan, and I work as an errand to make money. Isn’t it natural? Not making money is unforgivable, okay?
Damn it, Situ Zhou, you have been cutting down the funds of my clan's family. Do you know how tiring it is to count the data of the royal family's 427 people?
What's wrong with me fishing for some oil and water?
As expected, it was easier to talk to the adventurer.
Thinking of this, Xiao Baoguo rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "In this case, Zheng Qian, why don't we..."
"But then again!"
Before he could speak, Zheng Qian suddenly changed the topic and his expression became cold: "If the country is gone, what use will the money have?"
"You can go to other countries to spend flowers."
"Oh~ you mean to exchange the lives of 800,000 people for the glory and wealth of tens of thousands of gold coins, so that you, yes, you can go to another country to live happily alone?
Each life is worth less than ten silver coins? Just for you? "
"..."
At this point in Zheng Qian's words, no matter how stupid Xiao Baoguo was, he could tell that something was wrong.
His eyes became sharper, and the murderous aura on his body became colder and colder: "Also, have you forgotten one thing?
I'm going to the battlefield too. "
"No, Zheng Qian, listen to me, I..."
Snapped!
This time, Xiao Baoguo had no chance to finish his words.
Zheng Qian grabbed his neck.
The unimaginable force squeezed his fat neck out of shape.
Zheng Qian pulled him closer.
At the last moment, Xiao Baoguo could only see Zheng Qian's gloomy facial features that could drip water.
"I make money, but I still have a principle, which is that a gentleman loves money and gets it in a right way. Although this way may sometimes be despicable, at least there must be a reason."
"Zheng Qian, you can't kill us! My father is a member of the clan and a relative of the emperor. How dare you kill us?!"
Xiao Xuan next to her screamed in surprise when she saw this.
Zheng Qian glanced at her coldly and said calmly: "Relatives of the emperor? So what? I want to see if Situ Zhou dares to say no even if I kill you."
[Notice: The object is determined to be indirectly malicious and mildly threatens the user's personal safety. The killing restriction has been lifted and killing is allowed. 】
At this point, Zheng Qian, who had been confirmed by the truth, suddenly pulled back his strength.
Xiao Baoguo's mouth was so pinched that he couldn't close it and opened it suddenly.
He punched through the table and took out a money box from the secret compartment. Zheng Qian smashed the steel lock head with a flick of his thumb.
"You love money so much, then let me love you enough."
After that, using magic power, the whole box of gold coins was melted into gold water.
The hand holding his neck was slightly loosened, allowing his throat to open.
Zheng Qian poured the entire box of gold water into Xiao Baoguo's mouth.
Xiao Baoguo screamed for just one second on the spot, and his fat body began to convulse violently.
Soon, the body was penetrated by the hot golden water and lost all movement.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Just as Xiao Xuan was about to scream, her mouth was covered.
Zheng Qian suddenly appeared in front of her across a distance of more than ten meters, and covered her mouth.
"Shh~ I gave Zheng Sepi some face and gave you a chance to live. Since you don't cherish it, no wonder I...
You'd better go with Rorschach. "
With that said, Zheng Qian took out another box of gold coins.
In the southeast corner of the fortifications, a woman's scream pierced the sky and quickly disappeared without a trace.
