Chapter 284
"Not for the time being."
"...Not for the time being?"
"After all, it is a well-known anti-government organization in the Wild Star Region. Although it is a bit too idealistic, it is not so easy to be subdued by a few words. Even if I reveal my true identity, they will not bow down. The name Wu Heng is indeed loud, but at most it only gives White Dawn a trustworthy foundation."
Yuan Buwei said it very bluntly.
One of the reasons why he was sure to find White Dawn was the identity of his body.
As a former commander of the Empire, Wu Heng was upright, harsh, and unkind. There were as many people who hated him as there were people who loved him. There were as many people who tried to kick him down as there were people who were willing to be the cornerstone to support him.
In the White Dawn, which was composed of deserters from the Empire and the Star Alliance, there were obviously more people who loved him than those who hated him.
Because these deserters were not afraid of fighting, they just didn't want to fight for the Empire and the Star Alliance. The army is the place that most respects the strong. Most of them have a very high liking for this invincible commander of the empire. Especially when the other party is also on the opposite side of the empire.
And this is the basis for the two sides to talk. Otherwise, if another person comes to White Dawn, I am afraid no one will be willing to pay attention to him.
In Anze's curious and puzzled eyes, Yuan Buwei slightly raised the corner of his lips: "Empty promises to overthrow the empire... Well, for such a thing, even if the name "Wu Heng" is gilded, there is no way to make White Dawn come directly to surrender, right?"
"So, I agreed with them that if we complete a small goal first, the White Dawn will completely submit to me. Before that, they can only reach a part of mutually beneficial transactions with me depending on the situation."
"So that's it!"
Anze finally understood why those people seemed to be full of expectations and unspeakable excitement in their eyes before.
He had been in White Dawn for a long time, and he knew very well what those companions thought.
If it was someone else who said he wanted to overthrow the empire, I'm afraid White Dawn wouldn't bother to pay attention, but the name Wu Heng is unusual. It's also an impossible thing, but when it comes from the mouth of a legendary big man, it becomes more possible. This must be the reason why White Dawn is willing to sign a contract with him.
Whether it succeeds or fails, White Dawn will not lose. If there is really hope of overthrowing the empire, why not join his team? After all, the members of White Dawn are a group of idealists, not power-hungry ambitious people.
After trying to understand, he asked curiously, "Can I know what the agreement is?"
"It's very simple. I'll tell them. Soon, I will lead them - this group of guys named rebels - to enter the territory of the empire openly, amid the prayers and cheers of countless people."
"Then, let those who once hated me to death kneel down and turn into running dogs who wave the flag for me."
"...Isn't this a very humorous and funny picture?"
Chapter 235 Rebel Party 19
Finally released from the cell that never saw the sun, when he saw the first ray of light, Ou Shang's eyes suddenly burst into tears. This was due to both physiological reflex factors and psychological effects.
...Too long! He had been locked up in that dark cell for so long that the passage of time in the outside world became blurred. He only felt as if he had walked through hell, and now he has finally returned to the world again!
This finally released Ou Shang's long-suppressed emotions, and a rapturous smile appeared on his pale face.
Standing in the snow-white interrogation room, he stared straight at the light shining down from above his head. Although his stinging eyes shed physiological fluids, he felt like a thirsty fish that finally got water.
——He felt that he was finally alive.
In the past period of time, he had been locked up in an empty and dark cell. Every once in a while, he could only get the nutrient solution that ensured the minimum survival guarantee, so that he would not starve to death completely, but he was always on the verge of death. The burning stomach seemed to be not his own.
In addition, what frightened him most was the dark and empty cell. Being locked in the darkness was more terrible than any punishment.
In the darkness that was quieter than death, Ou Shang even had the illusion that he had gone crazy. Fortunately, every once in a while, there was always a young man who seemed to have the same surname as Wu Heng who would go to torture him.
This seemed to be a fanatical admirer of "Wu Heng".
Originally, "Wu Heng" only had him locked up in a small dark room, but because he was injustice for "Wu Heng", the young man would secretly go to torture him every once in a while.
—— From the intermittent words of the young man when he tortured him, Ou Shang knew these scattered information.
The other party was extremely cruel and used very advanced torture methods. But Ou Shang did not hate him. On the contrary, he was even somewhat grateful to the young man. Because the painful torture that came from time to time made him stay awake in the endless darkness with difficulty, and did not completely become a madman.
When he was suffering in the dark and closed cell, he even looked forward to the arrival of the young man.
During this long period of suffering and waiting, Auchan gradually forgot his original thoughts.
He originally thought that he would become "Wu Heng"'s witness against the third prince, and he would not have to worry about his life at all. I was still thinking secretly in my heart about how to negotiate with "Wu Heng" and make the other party agree to his conditions before becoming a witness.
When he was first imprisoned in the cell, Ou Shang was full of confidence in his future. When there was no threat to his survival, his greed began to take hold, making him fantasize about all kinds of things that repeatedly jumped between "Wu Heng" and the third prince. Thoughts, I never worried about my life.
However, after being locked up in a cell for a long time, constantly wandering on the verge of starving to death and being driven crazy, the thoughts in his heart gradually became strongly shaken.
He began to wonder if "Wu Heng" had changed his mind and no longer wanted to keep him alive as a witness, but wanted to use painful and long torture to drive him, the traitor, crazy; sometimes when he was delirious, Ou Shang even began to wonder if the secrets he overheard from "Wu Heng" when he was sent here were his hallucinations?
This brought Auchan's sense of uneasiness and crisis to the extreme. He no longer attempts to negotiate terms with Wu Heng. His only thought now is to leave the dark cell and survive. For this, he is willing to do anything!
At the same time, after learning about Ou Shang's current mental state from Wu Hai, Yuan Buwei finally decided that it was time: "Very good, we can start dealing with him."
Following his order, the closed cell was opened, and Auchan, who had been locked inside for an unknown length of time, was finally able to leave the dark cell and see the long-lost light.
When his eyes finally recovered from the sting and adapted to the surrounding light, the first thing he saw was the stern young man sitting five steps away with a calm expression.
The dark hair fell casually on the man's familiar eyebrows. His thin lips pursed into a straight arc, and the whole person looked a little arrogant. He just leaned back slightly on the back of the chair, one of his long legs was gently bent, and his toes were resting on the floor leisurely.
Wait...his legs? ! This is impossible! ! !
Suddenly realizing something, Ou Shang's whole body seemed to be struck by lightning, and he was so confused on the spot. He looked at the jumping Yuan Buwei in shock and sluggishness, forgetting to think and what he should do.
And Yuan Buwei didn't seem to be in a hurry, just looking at him leisurely, but Ou Shang felt as if he was being cut open from top to bottom by the other person's calm gaze, and the fear accumulated over the past few days came back. Heart.
It seemed that the next moment, he would be put back into that dark and closed cell, or be hanged directly.
Ou Shang shuddered and suddenly woke up. ⑧Think⑧Rabbit⑧On⑧LINE⑧Read⑧Read⑧
He cursed himself silently. I can't protect myself. I still think so much. I don't care what the condition of other people's legs is! Even a huge secret can't compare to saving his own life!
Although I don’t know how Wu Heng managed to make a comeback, I think the process must have been very difficult. And the other party went to great lengths to catch him, which shows how deep the hatred for him, the traitor, is in his heart.
"Commander, Commander-in-Chief! I was wrong!"
Without waiting for Yuan Buwei to speak, Ou Shang was very self-conscious and knelt down in a particularly hesitant manner. He confessed with great guilt: "It's great that you are still alive! It's all me who failed your trust and cultivation. You should have killed me on the spot!"
When he said this, he almost burst into tears. His acting skills and thickness of skin reached a level beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"I was the one who was forced to do something that was worse than a beast. I heard that something happened to you in exile. During this time, I couldn't sleep well day and night, and I have always regretted it. ...I know you probably hate me as a traitor, but there is someone else behind the scenes!"
I didn't say "oh" at all, but seemed quite interested, just wanting to see how this person wanted to continue singing.
Seeing his reaction and confession, Ou Shang began to blame him frantically, fearing that he would be killed in a rage.
"...I am just an insignificant role. The third prince is your biggest enemy. You have also seen that he will do anything for the right to inherit. Even you, the eldest brother by blood, marched south for the empire. How could the heroes of the Northern War slander and slander the enemy so unscrupulously? After you were exiled, he would hunt down and kill you! You are so ruthless and insane, once he knows you are still alive, he will never let you go...I have done something wrong! You deserve any punishment, but I’m really worried about you now.”
Yuan Buwei was very cooperative with him: "You think too much."
Ou Shang immediately worried about Yuan Buwei, as if he was still the good adjutant who had his best interests at heart: "No, no, no, he can keep it secret after discovering your identity through genetic comparison, and then suddenly use poisonous tactics to prevent you from turning over. , It shows how deep your scheming is and how vicious your methods are! Lord Commander, you have always been upright, how can you defeat him? Only by completely suppressing the third prince can you get out of danger."
Ou Shang finally revealed his true purpose. He spoke in a deep voice with a deep and painful tone: "I was threatened by him at the first thought, and I regretted it countless times after that... Lord Commander, I am willing to stand up and bear witness to all the people in the world. Revealing the true face of the third prince in front of the empire , to eliminate the danger for you and restore your innocence. With his character and morality, how can he be worthy of being the heir of the empire? If I had known your true life experience, Lord Commander, I would rather die than suffer that little one. People are threatening you. Only you are the hope for the future of the empire!"
By the end, his words were extremely inflammatory, full of hints and bewitchments. To sum it up, I can be a witness while I'm alive, I can help you eliminate threats, I can restore your innocence, I can make you the future master of the empire, in short, please don't kill me!
"That makes sense."
I didn't give "Papa" a few slaps, expressing my appreciation for such a performance that was both good at singing and reciting.
Ou Shang felt relieved and his face showed joy.
And at the next moment, Yuan Buwei suddenly turned his face: "But why should I listen to you?"
Auchan was stunned.
Yuan Buwei said softly: "Before you speak, I have already connected to the signal of the Imperial Star Network. So, all this is broadcast live."
Naturally, his expression just now was seen by others.
Ou Shang's thoughts were spinning, and his face became a little ugly, but he quickly recovered and looked loyal again.
