The gongs and drums were noisy, the firecrackers were blasting, and the red flags were waving, but there were not many people.
Yes, under the blessing of magic, the gongs and drums were beating themselves, two fire mages sat on the high platform yawning and set off firecrackers, and several wind mages controlled the strong wind to wave the red flag in the sky. In addition to a few staff members in the huge central square, there is a guide sign. What stands out about the whole scene is a perfunctory one.
The nobles, who were facing a formidable enemy and had their strongest entourage, stood blankly in the empty central square. A gust of cold wind blew through and touched their heartstrings.
"Where are the people?"
Obviously, the mages who were there to create a scene were not the ones leading the way. The group of people looked around and saw that except for the post-modern art sign in the middle, there was nothing in the entire venue.
"I gonna go see."
As the temporary leader, Ishtar stepped forward obligingly, stood under the sign, and began to read the words on it.
"I found {the little cutie who did not participate in the event} during the activity of looking for the black sheep, and it took 0.01 seconds. You can also join the activity! - Location: 12th floor of the Government Building"
"..."
After a moment of silence, Ista turned around and said to everyone with a solemn face: "Let me say it first. I don't know what will happen next, but I feel that nothing good will happen."
"We didn't prepare for anything good when we came."
In fact, these nobles have long been frightened by Zhou Li's play, and have become disloyal. Don't look at their harsh words in the video conference, as if they would develop hemorrhoids if they didn't curse Zhou Li, but in fact, they had long wanted to get rid of being punished by Zhou Li.
He couldn't be beaten or scolded, no one else had money, his water meter was checked every day, and he was still mentally polluted by Zhou Li. They knew that Zhou Li's "charity activity" was designed to trick them, but this group of people still came here resolutely.
Let's make a break.
"In that case, let's go."
Ista, who had no conflict with Zhou Li, but was elected as the leader of the nobles because of his bloodline, took a deep breath, opened the door and walked into the building.
There is nothing on the first floor of the building. All the original decorations and furnishings have been put up. The entire hall is empty, not even a single person. Under the strange sound of firecrackers outside, the lobby, with the lights on, gave people an eerie feeling.
"He doesn't want to catch us all."
The nobles who were frightened by this strange atmosphere were a little timid. They were usually just ordinary viscounts or barons, and they only followed the crowd to avoid Zhou Li checking the water meter. Now faced with this weird atmosphere, they couldn't help but flinch a little.
"Don't worry, he doesn't dare."
Although Ishtar said this, his hand was unconsciously placed on the hilt of the sword at his waist. He looked around cautiously, then walked to the stairwell.
There was a note on the door of the stairwell. Ishtar leaned over and read the words clearly.
"Want to understand the meaning of life?"
A question, two answers are given below. One says "think" and below it is a door handle. Another says "don't want to" with a high-voltage current underneath.
Without hesitation, Ista pressed the door handle.
With a huge team, Ista arrived at the door on the twelfth floor. Glancing at the expectant eyes of dozens of nobles behind him, Ishtar turned his head, took a deep breath, and pushed open the door.
The door opened, and on the empty second floor, Zhou Li's slightly lonely figure turned his back to everyone, standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the blue sky.
"You're still here."
Guyi
With a sigh of relief, the last noble stepped into the twelfth floor. Zhou Li still turned his back to everyone, with his hands behind his back, and said happily: "I am indeed right. You are worthy of being the nobles of my Great Yingnan. You are responsible. You are so enthusiastic about this kind of voluntary charity activity. I am very happy." What a relief.”
No one answered, and Ishtar didn't speak either. They didn't know what to say, so they could only use silence as a weapon to fight against Zhou Li.
But the weapon of silence is fragile.
Suddenly, Zhou Li spoke up and spoke a somewhat unexpected Eastern proverb.
"Princes and generals are very kind."
? ? ?
At first, everyone did not understand Zhou Li's words because he translated the proverbs of the Three Eastern Courts into mainland Chinese. The strange sentence patterns made these nobles unable to react for a while. When the smart Ishtar understood the meaning of this sentence, his face turned pale.
"You are such a talented person, and you are trapped in this small city to be a slave of money. I think you have been wronged."
Turning around, Zhou Li smiled gently when faced with expressions of confusion, confusion, confusion, and fear. He looked at everyone and said softly:
"I want to be here with you all to share in this cause."
"A righteous deed?"
The red-haired man stood up and asked in confusion: "What kind of act of charity?"
Zhou Li smiled lightly when he heard the words, then he raised his head, looked at the ceiling, and said with emotion: "Today in Yingnan, the emperor has died and all the dragons are leaderless. The capital of such a huge country was infected by the plague and invaded by foreign enemies, but the country just blocked it and ignored it. Don’t ask. Do you think this Yingnan government is too stupid and incompetent?”
Wait a moment.
At this time, even the red-haired man who shared the same brain as the stone man noticed something was wrong, and his face began to turn pale. Before he could retreat, Zhou Li took a step forward and asked with a smile: "Brother, what do you think?"
"I...I...I..."
The red-haired man's face turned red and his body temperature soared after he noticed Zhou Li's ambition but didn't dare to fall out in front of him. Zhou Li did not continue to ask, but turned his attention to others. Everywhere he looked, everyone was in danger.
"I understand, no one dares to speak out about this kind of thing. It doesn't matter, everyone doesn't dare, I dare."
Without waiting for anyone to dissuade him, Zhou Li took a deep breath, and then he said angrily with an excited face:
"I suggest that Twelve Hours take over Jordan!"
"No, rebellion is definitely... huh????"
Ista, who was ready to risk his life against the traitor Zhou Li, just spoke out, and then fell silent. After a while, Ista, who had regained his composure, opened his mouth and asked feebly: "You mean... to let Twelve Hours take over Jordan?"
"Of course, what do you think?"
Zhou Li gave him a slightly strange look and asked in confusion: "Do you think I am planning to rely on Jordan to radiate the surrounding areas into secondary bases, and then gather effective forces to carry out external erosion, and paralyze the Jordanian government on the surface? Accumulating strength secretly. After finding the right opportunity, quickly destroy Yingnan’s government agencies in Jordan, and then personally take over Jordan and gradually invade Yingnan. Will the rebellion succeed in the end? "
? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Haven't you already finished planning this?
Don't be like this, I'm really scared.
