Throne of Vientiane Civilization

"No, Your Majesty! The front line is too dangerous!"

As soon as Zhou Xu said these words, all the courtiers below spoke out to stop him.

In the past, when they were still a tribe in Dazhou, their leader led the tribe's warriors around to hunt and fight, and they didn't think there was any problem.

But with the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the changes in the internal system, and some of the changes in thinking that Teacher Wang Dongwang brought to them in daily life, their current ideas are naturally very different from before.

In the eyes of today's ministers, for the sake of the stability of their great Zhou Dynasty, their king must not be allowed to take risks easily.

Once something happens to the king, it will be a disaster for them, Great Zhou!

This time, the lizard man as his opponent was a huge threat. Didn't Zhou Xu know that this decision would involve taking a lot of risks?

He also knew that if something happened to him, everything would be over.

If everything has to be done by himself, then why does he want to be the king and have so many subordinates? A freeloader?

But the problem is that he himself is an important part of their Great Zhou's combat power. If he doesn't go to the front line, their Great Zhou's combat power cannot be said to have been exerted 100%.

At this stage, the situation on the front line is obviously not good. Instead of pinning all his hopes on the Rat Man, who still doesn't know what the situation is, and betting on luck, Zhou Xu prefers to hold the initiative in his own hands!

"I have made up my mind, you don't need to say any more!"

While speaking, Zhou Xu gave Wang Pengfei, who was standing aside, a look.

Wang Pengfei understood immediately and shouted at the top of his lungs...

"The king retires——"

After shouting, he hurriedly followed Zhou Xu, who had turned around and left, leaving behind the ministers with messy faces, still in the meeting hall, not knowing what to do.

On the other hand, after Zhou Xu left the meeting hall, his steps gradually accelerated, making Wang Pengfei who was following behind feel a bit strenuous.

Maintaining a walking pace, Zhou Xu returned to his office, and then directly reviewed the documents piled on his desk.

Since he decided to lead troops on an expedition when the energy channel opens next time, he must seize the time to do all the work that needs to be done and the follow-up arrangements that need to be made.

During this period, Wang Pengfei, who was waiting next to him, looked constipated the whole time. He obviously had something to say, but seeing that Zhou Xu was busy handling official duties, he did not dare to disturb him.

Zhou Xu, who noticed his slight movement, glanced at the other party.

"Just tell me if you have anything to say."

Wang Pengfei suddenly felt as if he had been granted amnesty, and then asked cautiously...

"Your Majesty, do you really plan to lead the troops to the front line in person?"

After hearing this, Zhou Xu, who probably knew Wang Pengfei's situation, let out a chuckle, and looked at him with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"I think you want to know if you want to go to the front line with me, right?"

Zhou Xu saw through his little thoughts at a glance, Wang Pengfei smiled awkwardly, but he didn't show much fear. Compared with when he first arrived, his whole state was much more relaxed.

Obviously, after this period of time, Wang Pengfei became basically familiar with Zhou Xu, which also made him realize that Zhou Xu was not as difficult to get along with as he initially expected, and could even be said to be very easy-going.

At the same time, it also gave him the opportunity to observe their king from a closer distance.

To be honest, if he were the king, he would definitely do whatever he wanted, play songs every night, and do all the things he wanted to do but didn't dare to do before.

This is probably a bad trait revealed by people who have been in the oppressive environment of modern society for a long time.

But he couldn't see this at all in Zhou Xu.

Not to mention doing whatever he wants, his daily schedule is more regular than that of office workers before time travel, and he handles various tasks with no ambiguity and diligence.

In ancient China, there was a high probability that he would become a wise monarch who would be remembered for generations. When future generations talked about history, they would have to praise him a few times.

This also made Wang Pengfei, who had been watching, feel more admiration for Zhou Xu.

It's just that sometimes they show some bad taste, or a bit of a bad character, for example now...

"You are my personal attendant, how can I be without you? Of course you have to go with me."

Zhou Xu blinked his eyes and said these words in a matter-of-fact manner, which made Wang Pengfei's entire face burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, can I not go?"

"no."

Zhou Xu directly dismissed it without thinking.

It's not that he deliberately makes things difficult for Wang Pengfei, but as a personal follower who can read and write, Wang Pengfei does have an irreplaceable special status with him at this stage.

When he reaches the front line, he will definitely have to deal with some affairs. With Wang Pengfei beside him, he can save a lot of things.

During this period, Wang Pengfei, who had not thought so much, was really on the verge of tears, but he obviously had not given up yet, so he suddenly thought and began to change his strategy.

"The front line is so dangerous, so why do you, Your Majesty, need to go there in person? At worst, you can just send a general there. I think Lieutenant Shi Lei is a good fit."

After all, he has always been with Zhou Xu. Wang Pengfei also knows a lot about the situation on the front line and knows that the next battlefield should be concentrated in the rainforest environment.

As a general in charge of the mountainous area, it was undoubtedly a good choice for Shi Lei to lead his mountain soldiers into the battle.

However, Zhou Xu shook his head at his proposal.

"If Shi Lei is transferred there, there will be no one on the other side of the mountain. If something goes wrong, we will have to face the dilemma of being attacked from both sides."

"Not to mention the current situation. It's not something that can be solved by sending Shi Lei there. I can't do it unless I go."

In terms of strategic value alone, Shi Lei couldn't compare with him.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xu's eyes fell on Wang Pengfei.

"And once the front line is defeated, can we escape by hiding in the back? When the lizardman army attacks, we will all be finished. We can only face this battle, there is no room for escape."

Wang Pengfei could not understand Zhou Xu's words, but he still couldn't understand why Zhou Xu could make such a life-related decision so lightly, without even hesitating.

Taking this opportunity, he simply asked all the questions he had been holding back for a long time.

"I think your Majesty is really weird. You don't seem to be afraid of death at all. Putting aside this, you are working harder than those office workers every day. What is this for? You have already become a king. Don’t you intend to indulge? Don’t you have any desire?”

Faced with these problems, Zhou Xu looked calm.

"It's not that I'm not afraid of death, but it's useless to be afraid. There's no need to show it. I never slack off in handling affairs every day. Even this time I went to the front line. To be honest, I just want to live a better life."

Speaking of this, Zhou Xu's voice paused.

"As for desire|desire..."

When Zhou Xu mentioned this word, he looked at Wang Pengfei with an expression that was half a smile but not a smile...

"If you mean sleeping every day until you wake up naturally, finding women after you've had enough to eat and drink, I'm really not that interested in these things. I have something I want more."

"what?"

Following Zhou Xu's words, Wang Pengfei asked subconsciously.

Zhou Xu listened and uttered two words lightly.

"The world."

At this moment, those two words of incomparable calm were like a thunder, exploding in Wang Pengfei's ears, causing his mind to go blank for an instant.

When their eyes met, he had never felt it so clearly as now. From Zhou Xu's dark, almost deep pupils, the ambition to dominate the world was almost overflowing!

At this time, Zhou Xu looked like a monster ready to roar into the world at any time!

Where is this sage and monarch without desires? This is simply a careerist who completely explodes after getting an opportunity! !
