General Evan introduced Zhang Ze to his subordinates in a serious manner, and his words were full of praise.
Even if General Evan praised Zhang Ze highly, these people still looked down on Zhang Ze who was born on an artificial planet.
In their eyes, only heavenly beings are the most noble. Zhang Ze is just an ignorant and backward primitive man who got lucky and saved the general and got rid of his status as an animal. He is incomparable with them.
Zhang Ze didn't care about the disdainful looks of these people. Soon these people would die under the claws of the mother insect's children, so he wouldn't care about anything with a group of dead people.
Following General Evan to the lounge, Evan told Zhang Ze that he must first report to his superiors for instructions. Only after receiving approval can he take Zhang Ze to the Celestial Empire.
Zhang Ze waved his hand and told him to go about his business and not worry about himself.
"Then I'll excuse you. Please don't be anxious, Lord Rakshasa. I'll be back soon!"
General Evan was respectful to Zhang Ze, but when he exited the room, his flattering expression instantly turned vicious.
"Damn it, don't be proud! Soon you will have to pay for everything you have done!" He said viciously in his heart.
An hour later, General Evan returned again, with the fawning expression still on his face, and said to Zhang Ze: "Master Rakshasa, the superiors have approved it, and the emperor has personally ordered to summon you. This time you are prosperous. .”
"When you become successful in the future, don't forget me, haha."
Zhang Ze smiled and said: "Of course I will not forget the kindness of your Excellency General."
The two people shook hands and smiled, and seemed to be in harmony, but in fact they each had their own thoughts. One was thinking about how to kill the other person, and the other was more ruthless, thinking about how to destroy the other person's country.
In fact, General Evan can definitely attack Zhang Ze here.
After all, the space station is full of people, and Zhang Ze is alone and helpless. No matter how powerful he is, he can't deal with so many people by himself.
However, General Evan has a very flexible mind. First of all, he is not sure whether Zhang Ze has other more powerful methods. If the soldiers in the space station cannot solve him, then there will be big trouble.
Maybe, he will lose his life too.
Evan, on the other hand, needs a reason to excuse his failure.
He was defeated this time, losing thousands of his men and several battleships, and also having all the reinforcements that came to aid him be wiped out. All of these responsibilities must be placed on his head, so he must find an excuse for himself. , otherwise the emperor will definitely punish him.
And Zhang Ze is his excuse. As long as he puts all the blame on Zhang Ze, he can be considered a great contributor. Maybe the emperor will be merciful and allow him to offset the blame.
With this thought, General Evan decided to take Zhang Ze to the Celestial Empire and hand it over to His Majesty the Emperor.
In this way, he himself does not have any risks. He can not only eliminate his enemies, but also be able to excuse his failure. It really kills two birds with one stone.
Because of General Evan's special status, they were given priority to return to the empire on the time shuttle.
Zhang Ze didn't know how much time had passed. He only felt that he had just sat down for a while when he was reminded by Evan that the capital of the empire had arrived.
"So fast?" Zhang Ze was surprised.
He followed Evan off the shuttle. The sight in front of him surprised Zhang Ze. If it weren't for the spaceships in the sky and the various mechanical equipment on the ground, Zhang Ze would have thought he had arrived in the ancient Roman Empire.
Because the architectural style of this city is exactly the same as that of ancient Rome, it doesn't feel like a futuristic science fiction city, but rather like a magically modified Roman Empire.
Even the transportation they took to the palace was a carriage pulled by two mechanical horses.
There were also pedestrians on the street, all wearing white robes. If Zhang Ze didn't know their identities, he would have thought that these people were ancient Romans.
With a sense of freshness, Zhang Ze looked at the scene outside through the car window, feeling as if he was in the Roman era.
The carriage traveled a few streets, and a Xiong Wei's palace appeared in front of it. According to Evan, that was the palace.
The carriage stopped and Zhang Ze stepped down. His attire immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding gods. They looked at Zhang Ze curiously and saw that Zhang Ze was brought by General Evan, and they immediately started talking in low voices.
"Lord Rakshasa, ignore these guys!"
Evan Zhang Ze said with a bored look on his face: "These bastards in the Senate have no ability, they just know how to talk. Without them, our empire will be better."
"It's a pity that His Majesty the Emperor likes them."
Zhang Ze nodded slightly. It seems that this empire of heaven and man is not an iron plate. People's hearts are floating inside, and the forces are complicated. Just like any dynasty in history, there are many parties.
After passing the strict inspection by the soldiers, Zhang Ze and the two were approved to enter the palace. He changed his clothes according to Evan's suggestion.
A long white robe was draped over her body, exposing half of her shoulders, and she wore slippers on her feet. She was dressed exactly like the celestial beings around her.
But Zhang Ze's temperament is much better than theirs. After all, he is a young and energetic guy, while those senators are all potbellied and ugly.
Therefore, when some female heavenly beings saw Zhang Ze, they couldn't help but look at him a few more times, their eyes filled with excitement.
Zhang Ze walked into the palace. The decoration inside was magnificent. The ground was golden and looked like gold. The roof was studded with gems of different colors, emitting colorful brilliance and making the entire palace hall colorful.
When we came to the meeting hall, it was full of people and noisy.
Zhang Ze noticed that their clothes were divided into different colors.
The one closest to the emperor is the red robe, followed by black, yellow, blue...
The white robe Zhang Ze was wearing was standing at the outermost corner, more than a hundred meters away from the emperor's throne, and the emperor's face could not be seen clearly.
However, Zhang Ze's eyesight was far superior to that of ordinary people. He could clearly see the emperor on the throne. He was an old man with white hair and beard. His face was sharp and angular, and he was not angry or intimidating.
At this time, the imperial emperor was sitting on the throne, quietly watching the courtiers in the audience, seeming to be listening to their discussions.
Zhang Ze was a little surprised and asked General Evan, who was wearing a red robe next to him: "Are you usually so messy when you go to court?"
In Zhang Ze's impression, the court is a very serious place where making random noises is prohibited, but everyone here is talking loudly and the scene is noisy.
General Evan said: "His Majesty the Emperor likes this. He said that no matter how smart a person is, his thinking has limits. The thinking of a group of people can be broader and can provide more reference for my decision-making."
Zhang Ze nodded slightly. He did not expect that the emperor was quite open-minded.
However, this does not change his decision to destroy this empire. Although this emperor is wise, his empire is evil, and this will never change.
Just like those dictators in history, in order to expand their power, they invaded, massacred, and committed all kinds of evil!
"Lord Rakshasa, please come with me, and I will take you to meet His Majesty."
Following General Evan, Zhang Ze walked towards the throne in front. The surrounding discussions gradually quieted down, and countless eyes focused on Zhang Ze.
Because Zhang Ze was wearing a white robe and belonged to the lowest status group, such people were not allowed to come forward.
But today, under the leadership of red-robed Evan, a white-robed man stood in front of the supreme leader of the empire.
What is even more amazing is that the man in white robes has no fear on his face and is as calm as water, as if he is not meeting the head of a country but an ordinary person.
The emperor of the Celestial Empire shifted his gaze to Zhang Ze, with scrutiny in his eyes. He had already known Zhang Ze's situation, so when Zhang Ze stood in front of him, he was not surprised at all.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, this is the Rakshasa I mentioned to you. He was born on the artificial planet DS49. He has extraordinary abilities and is a rare talent. Now he hopes to serve you and the empire."
After introducing Zhang Ze, Evan stepped aside and gave up his position to Zhang Ze.
Zhang Ze imitated Evan, saluted the emperor, and said calmly: "I have met His Majesty the Emperor."
"I have heard about you. You actually led a group of backward and ignorant primitive people to defeat our army of heavenly beings. This proves that you are indeed a talent. I admire you very much."
The old emperor smiled and spoke with appreciation.
General Evan's face turned red and white. He could hear the deeper meaning of the emperor's words, which was that he was incompetent!
Leading an army of thousands of people, equipped with high-tech weapons and warships, to be defeated by a group of primitive people was simply a disgrace to the empire.
However, the old emperor did not say it in public. This was to save Evan's face. After all, Evan's family also played an important role in the empire.
"His Majesty the Emperor has commended me. I am just an ordinary person." Zhang Ze also answered humbly.
"You are delicate but not arrogant. It is hard for me to imagine that you are from a backward primitive people... You have come all the way, so let General Evan entertain you well. In a few days, I will hold a canonization ceremony and appoint you as your new legion. commander."
The old emperor was very satisfied with Zhang Ze's attitude. He said: "I hope you can complete the task that General Evan failed to complete and harvest the other primitive people on the DS49 artificial planet. This is also the first test I give you. "
"If you can complete this test, I will appoint you as the general of the empire, and you will have a broader stage to realize your ambitions. Rakshasa, I believe you will not let me down."
Zhang Ze nodded slightly. He didn't say anything on the surface, but he was sneering in his heart: "Sure enough, this old emperor is not a good person! As soon as I surrendered to him, he forced me to massacre my own people. It's really murderous!"
Zhang Ze sneered in his heart. He was very familiar with this scene. Isn't it the same routine used by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty to order Song Jiang to be safe in "Water Margin"?
"If I don't do it, it means that I don't really surrender, then punish me. If I do, then I will be on his pirate ship from now on, and there will be no way back."
"This is a beautiful move. It really understands the human heart and power!"
Zhang Ze looked calm, lowered his head and said, "Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor, for your trust. I will never let you down."
The meeting in the hall ended and all the ministers resigned. General Evan took Zhang Ze back to his mansion. His family was already waiting at the door.
"Father!"
As soon as the carriage stopped, a beautifully dressed woman ran over and took General Evan's arm, looking intimate.
"Saiya, my good daughter."
Evan stroked his daughter's red hair with a loving look on his face.
At this time, Zhang Ze got out of the car. Saiya looked at Zhang Ze curiously and asked, "Who is he?"
"Oh, let me introduce you."
Evan introduced Zhang Ze to them: "This is Lord Rakshasa from the DS49 artificial planet. It is thanks to him that I can return home safely."
"DS49 artificial planet?"
Saiya was stunned for a moment, and her eyes suddenly changed. Zhang Ze could feel a trace of contempt flashing in her eyes.
"Thank you for saving my father."
Saiya thanked her politely, without any sincerity at all.
Racial discrimination goes deep into the bones of every celestial being. They only consider themselves a noble race and look down on other races, especially humans on artificial planets. They treat humans there as livestock.
Zhang Ze didn't care about Sai Ya's attitude and just nodded lightly: "You're welcome."
"Father, you just came back and went to attend the court meeting. You must not have even eaten, right? I asked the kitchen to make delicious meals for you..."
Sai Ya left Zhang Ze behind and took Evan's arm to walk towards the house. General Evan turned around and greeted Zhang Ze: "Lord Rakshasa, please come and have dinner with us. Butler, don't treat Lord Rakshasa lightly!"
"Yes, General Evan." A man dressed as a butler responded respectfully.
Zhang Ze was placed in a spacious room, and the housekeeper's attitude towards Zhang Ze was quite enthusiastic. After all, he did not dare to neglect what his master had told him.
"Lord Rakshasa, the restaurant is on the first floor. Please take a short rest and enjoy the food."
After the butler finished speaking, he exited the room.
Zhang Ze looked around. The layout of the room was similar to that of ancient Rome. There were colorful gemstone chandeliers, carpets made of unknown beast furs, and a big bed big enough for five people. It was simple yet luxurious.
Opening the balcony window, you can see a large urban scenery outside. There are no high-rise buildings with dozens of floors here, but there are many houses floating in the sky, and the people living in them rely on small spaceships to get in and out.
"There are so many people..."
Zhang Ze squinted his eyes and saw a busy flow of people on the street, a prosperous scene.
"I don't know how long it will take the mother worm to destroy this planet."
Zhang Ze withdrew his gaze, left the room and walked to the restaurant on the first floor. He happened to be a little hungry and went to try the heavenly food.
At this time, there was only Saya in the restaurant, and General Evan seemed to have not come down yet.
Seeing Zhang Ze come to the restaurant, Saiya snorted in her heart and said expressionlessly: "Please sit down, Lord Rakshasa, I hope our food can suit your appetite."
Zhang Ze also nodded casually as a greeting to her.
Seeing Zhang Ze's indifferent attitude toward her, Saiya felt even more disgusted. She thought about it and suddenly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a sinister smile.
"Go and bring our best food to Lord Rakshasa to taste. I believe he will like it very much!"
She called a servant and ordered with a half-smile.
