Putting on his white robe, Zhang Ze strode into the palace.
The heavenly beings on both sides looked at him. They had heard that the emperor was going to canonize Zhang Ze at the court meeting today.
There is envy, contempt and hatred in these eyes...
Zhang Ze ignored these looks and calmly followed General Evan to the emperor, bowing and saluting.
"Rakshasa, today I will appoint you as the commander of the Ninth Legion. You will immediately go to the DS49 artificial planet to implement the harvest plan."
The old emperor stood tall and announced his appointment majestically.
"I hope you can complete the task I gave you, thank you."
Everyone applauded to congratulate Zhang Ze. Although many people were reluctant, this was the emperor's appointment and no one dared to object.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Ze's next move surprised everyone. He actually refused the emperor's appointment.
"Sorry, Your Majesty the Emperor, I don't want to be a legion commander. I just want to be an ordinary person and live a peaceful life here."
Zhang Ze said lightly: "I hope your majesty will make it happen."
The scene suddenly became quiet, and they all thought they heard wrongly.
Commander is an important official position. Many people want it but can't get it, but Zhang Ze actually refused.
In addition, he dared to reject the emperor. Wasn't this seeking death?
Those noble beings dare not disobey the emperor. He, a humble beast from an artificial planet, is not only ungrateful, but dares to refuse. This is a slap in the face of His Majesty the Emperor in public!
General Evan's face turned pale and he was at a loss. He never expected that Zhang Ze would refuse, and his plan was completely disrupted.
Now, everyone is looking at His Majesty the Emperor, wanting to see how he will deal with Zhang Ze.
Unexpectedly, the old emperor was silent for a moment and then nodded: "I understand. Since you have no intention of joining the army, I won't force you to...retreat."
Zhang Ze was also a little surprised. He thought the old emperor would fall out on the spot and order his arrest.
He was ready to resist, and several of his entourages were on standby.
Unexpectedly, the old emperor was so calm and seemed not angry at all.
But that's fine, Zhang Ze doesn't have to take risks, and the situation is safe for the time being.
He bowed and saluted, turned and left the palace in full view of everyone.
Zhang Ze can leave, but General Evan does not dare to move. He brought the person back, and now he dares to reject the emperor in public. He cannot absolve himself of the blame.
"Evan."
The old emperor held his chin with his right hand and said calmly: "This primitive man named Rakshasa seems to be different from what you described in the report. Does he really want to be loyal to me?"
"Your Majesty, I am... guilty!"
General Evan immediately fell to his knees, his voice trembling: "I don't know what this primitive man thinks, but he clearly said that he wanted to serve the empire..."
"Okay, I don't mean to blame you." The old emperor waved his hand and said, "But since this person can't be used by me, there is no need for me to keep him."
"I will now give you a chance to atone for your sins. Take out the Rakshasa's heart and give it to me!"
The old emperor's expression gradually turned cold, and he said: "He destroyed more than 3,000 of my soldiers and three battleships. I want to taste his heart myself!"
…
Zhang Ze sat in the carriage, waiting for General Evan to come out.
"Although the old emperor did not fall out in public, he will never give up."
Zhang Ze was very clear in his heart. The other party would not let him go, so he had already thought of a countermeasure.
"After I go back, I'll find a place to hide at night... Well, let's go to Ruili's place. Although the smell is a bit unpleasant, no one will find me."
"On the ground, Saya will keep an eye on me, and I will know immediately if there is any situation."
After making the calculation, Zhang Ze closed his eyes and rested his mind.
Not long after, the court meeting ended and the ministers left the palace. General Evan also returned to his car. His attitude was the same as usual, and he greeted Zhang Ze warmly.
"Lord Rakshasa, His Majesty the Emperor said that he will give you a manor so that you can live peacefully there."
He smiled and said: "Now, I will take you to see it. That manor is the best place in the capital."
"It's up to me." Zhang Ze nodded in agreement without doubting his presence. Anyway, he had nothing to do when he went back.
General Evan immediately ordered the coachman to set off. He took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet in the carriage. The wine was blue and smelled salty.
"Lord Rakshasa, this bottle of wine is a trophy I got when I led my troops to conquer the Blue Starfish. It is said that after drinking it, my whole body feels like I am soaking in sea water. It is very comfortable. Come on, let's taste it together."
With that said, he poured a glass for Zhang Ze and offered it to him with both hands.
Zhang Ze narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Thank you then, General Evan."
He took the wine glass, pretended to appreciate it, and connected with Saya in his mind.
"Saya, your father has a bottle of wine brought back by Blue Starfish and said he wanted to taste it with me. Is this wine serious?"
Saya recovered: "Don't drink it, drinking this wine will make people sleepy."
"I understand." Zhang Ze snorted in his heart and pretended to drink, but in fact he had secretly poured it out with extremely fast techniques.
Seeing this, General Evan smiled and praised: "Master Rakshasa has a good drinker! Hahaha!"
Zhang Ze remained calm and nodded: "It is indeed a good wine."
He thought to himself: "This old guy got me drunk and didn't know what to do. I just played with him to see what his purpose was?"
The carriage continued to move forward. Zhang Ze didn't know where the manor was, but he noticed that Awen had been secretly looking at him, as if observing his own condition.
It was obvious that the other person was waiting for the drunkenness to set in.
Zhang Ze decided to cooperate. He held his forehead, pretending to be dizzy, and said: "General Evan, I'm sorry, I feel unwell and a little dizzy. I'll lie down and rest for a while. Please call me when I get there."
"No problem, just take a good rest. I will definitely call you when we get there." General Evan secretly rejoiced.
It seems that the alcohol has started to smell!
After waiting for about ten minutes, he saw Zhang Ze lying motionless on his seat, seemingly drunk to death, so he stepped forward and gently pushed Zhang Ze's body and said, "Master Rakshasa? Are you okay? Can you hear me? My voice?”
Seeing that Zhang Ze didn't respond, General Evan finally felt relieved. After drinking this wine, he would never wake up if he didn't sleep for a day and a night.
He sneered and said: "You stupid beast! His Majesty the Emperor gave you a chance to be a human being, but you didn't cherish it and rejected His Majesty in public... You are so stupid!"
"Originally, I hoped that you could bring more benefits to my family, but you idiot screwed everything up!"
He pulled out the dagger from his waist, his face full of murderous intent: "Since you are seeking death yourself, you can't blame others!"
Now Zhang Ze is of no use to him, and the emperor has personally ordered Zhang Ze to be killed, so General Evan has nothing to worry about and is ready to take action directly.
Unexpectedly, when his blade was stabbing Zhang Ze's chest, someone suddenly punched him in the face!
This punch was so powerful that Evan suddenly had stars in his eyes and couldn't get up for a long time.
When he came to his senses, he was relieved that his dagger was actually floating in the air, and Zhang Ze, who had been sleeping, was sitting there with his legs crossed and a sneer on his face.
"What happened? How could you wake up?"
Evan looked horrified, completely confused about the current situation.
Who just hit me? Why is my dagger floating? Why did Zhang Ze wake up?
There were so many questions in my mind, but no one answered them.
Zhang Ze crossed his shoulders, looked at Evan playfully, and asked knowingly: "General Evan, what do you want to do with the dagger?"
"I..." General Evan didn't know how to explain.
Zhang Ze spoke up for him: "Did His Majesty the Emperor ask you to kill me? Giving away the manor and so on are all lies."
"Actually, I had already expected that he would not let me go, but I didn't expect that he would let you do it."
Zhang Ze stood up and said calmly: "It's a pity that no one can kill me."
After speaking, a cold light flashed in front of General Evan's eyes, and the next moment he saw his headless body.
Because the carriage compartment is closed, the outside world does not know what is happening inside and is still moving forward.
Zhang Ze summoned the mystery, asked him to dispose of General Evan's body, and then called General Evan out of his summoning space.
"Master." General Evan knelt on one knee and said to Zhang Ze respectfully.
"What did the emperor order you to do?"
Zhang Ze asked. Evan told Zhang Ze what happened. Zhang Ze sneered: "This old guy is not a good bird. He looks wise and mighty on the surface, but he is actually a man-eating demon!"
After thinking about it, Zhang Ze decided not to alert the enemy and continue to implement his plan.
"I think there should be many surviving primitive human hearts in your house. Take one out of it and give it to the emperor as my heart."
In doing so, Zhang Ze would not arouse the emperor's suspicion, and Zhang Ze could escape unscathed. It was a very good plan.
Afterwards, Evan did as Zhang Ze said. That night he sent the fake heart to the palace and received a commendation from the emperor.
If General Evan is still alive, he will definitely be very happy, but now that he has become Zhang Ze's follower, he has no joy at all about the emperor's reward.
On the contrary, Zhang Ze's compliment made him excited for a long time.
The days after that would be much simpler. Zhang Ze didn't have to hide in the smelly underground waterways. He only had to stay in General Evan's mansion and not show up.
Because Evan and his daughter are now his followers, they will do their best to protect Zhang Ze and never let anyone find out.
And the guards and servants in the house don't have to worry, because it is Saiya who delivers food and food to Zhang Ze every day, and they have no contact with Zhang Ze at all.
In this way, Zhang Ze stayed up day and night, constantly sending heavenly beings to the underground sewers to feed Ruili.
Even though the disappearance of people has attracted the attention of the empire's top officials, they can't find any clues at all. Even if someone finds any clues, Tulin has secretly destroyed the clues.
At the top of the empire, General Evan told Zhang Ze everything about the court meeting to let him know the latest trends in the empire.
The social butterfly Saya continued to act as his spy. Zhang Ze listened to all kinds of gossip and tidbits with relish, adding a little fun to his boring life.
Friends on the artificial planet would contact Zhang Ze from time to time. The Bluestone tribe is now developing better and better. The original chief of the tribe abdicated due to the protests of the people and was replaced by the old wizard.
Of course, this was inseparable from the secret promotion of the giant gods and Yiye Zhiqiu.
As the Qingshi Tribe gradually grew stronger, surrounding tribes joined them one after another. Slowly, the tribe's population increased several times, and it vaguely formed the largest force in the local area, with the conditions to establish a country.
It is speculated that the Qingshi tribe will be the first to move from primitive society to feudal society.
Everyone asked about the progress of Zhang Ze's Celestial Empire. Zhang Ze told them that the first batch of offspring of the female insect Ruili had grown up and were ready to fight. However, to be on the safe side, Zhang Ze asked Ruili to produce more offspring, at least fifty. 10,000 starts.
After all, the scientific and technological civilization of Tianren is very advanced. A small fight will not work at all. It must be defeated completely in one go!
Therefore, the number of Zerg must be large enough to overwhelm the Celestial Empire with absolute military superiority, so that victory is possible.
In order to meet Zhang Ze's request, Ruili is working overtime to lay eggs. Zhang Ze predicts that in another week, the number of Zerg will reach 500,000!
But there were also some thorny problems before Zhang Ze. The matter of missing persons had reached the ears of the emperor, and he demanded full investigation.
According to Tulin, the authorities established a special investigation department, which was full of elites. Outsiders were prohibited from interfering, not even him.
On the other hand, Ruili told Zhang Ze that its descendants had discovered traces of heavenly beings in the underground waterways. They seemed to have noticed this place and were preparing to launch a careful investigation.
Therefore, Zhang Ze was worried that Ruili's position might be exposed.
After careful consideration, Zhang Ze decided to take action in advance!
"Although there are only 300,000 Zerg now, as long as they are deployed properly, they can still paralyze the Celestial Empire!"
Zhang Ze's plan was to first let the Zerg attack the important military and political departments of the Celestial Being Empire. As long as these departments were destroyed, the Celestial Beings would not be able to organize effective resistance, and their planet would perish sooner or later.
Once the plan is set, the time for action is the most critical part of it.
Through the feedback from General Evan and Sai Ya, Zhang Ze knew that the emperor would hold a grand banquet tomorrow night to celebrate their occupation of another planet. By then, the empire's top military and political officials would be present. This was a good opportunity to take action. !
"It's decided, we'll take action tomorrow night when they are unprepared!"
Time passed quickly. The next night, the palace was decorated with lights and colorful decorations. Almost all the top officials of the empire were present. The huge meeting hall was filled with fine wines and delicacies. Beautiful maids shuttled among the crowd carrying fine wines.
The old emperor is in a good mood. The planet he just occupied is rich in resources and can alleviate the empire's current energy crisis.
In addition, almost all the artificial planets created by the empire have been harvested, and the stored hearts are enough for all members of the empire to enjoy for a year. This has a great effect on stabilizing people's hearts, and his emperor's throne is more stable.
The only thing that depressed him was Zhang Ze's artificial planet. Since Zhang Ze refused his appointment, he sent an army to encircle and suppress it, but it still ended in failure.
In order to avoid further casualties, the old emperor decided to give up harvesting the planet and destroy it directly!
He will announce this decision after the banquet.
Just as he was thinking about it, the old emperor saw General Evan walking towards him with his flirtatious daughter Seiya. He knew that the other party was going to toast him, so he also raised his glass with a smile.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, the father and daughter suddenly rushed forward, broke the wine glass, and put the sharp glass on his throat!
"What are you going to do?"
The old emperor was horrified and heard General Evan say coldly: "My master asked me to send you a message: Today is the day you will perish!"
