This brave man is a scumbag

Chapter 150 Towering Tree (fourth update)
"Hey old man, can you hear me?"

Through the communicator found on Torreya, Zhou Li stood on a higher stone and shouted loudly: "Wake up, your goddamn grandpa is calling, hurry up and answer the phone."

"Do you know it's twelve o'clock?"

The communicator is a white panel engraved with runes for video recording.Soon, an old face appeared on the panel, Magnum III's cloudy eyes were full of fatigue, and his voice became much hoarse.

"I can not sleep."

"I can sleep!"

Magnum III had a strong aura of getting up. He forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth and said to Zhou Li, "Why do you have Torea's communicator? What are you doing so late?"

"Do you really want to ask the word dry?"

After opening the yellow accent, hoping to make Magnum III's coffin board reflect light as soon as possible, Zhou Li turned the "mirror" behind him with a sincere expression, and Magnum III felt suffocated for a while.

The sea of ​​corpses, the sea of ​​corpses of void monsters.

"Your spies are probably on their way, so the news of the Void's invasion of Muqi probably hasn't reached you yet."

Zhou Li dangled an eagle beak pendant in front of Magnum III, which is the sign of Magnum's secret agent. He threw it casually, and continued in front of Magnum III who was still shocked by the invasion of the void:
"By the way, see if you don't know to tell you that Lin Yuan is back."

Magnum III had just escaped from the shock of the Void Invasion, and heard the news of Lin Yuan's return. His old face turned red, white, red, and then livid with the naked eye.

"Hey, don't worry, people are not here to collect debts. She will not go through the history books and find out that she, as one of the biggest heroes who resisted the void, has been taken hastily, just because Magnum has been at odds with the Lin family for generations. After the magnum brushwork, he raised the knife and mounted the horse, and took the head of some dog emperor. He is a real hero, and he can't be as fussy as some people."

Facing Magnum III's livid old face where you just said my name directly, Zhou Li smiled comfortably. For him, this is a familiar environment.

"Don't worry about what people are doing when they come back, but I have good news for you."

Zhou Li cleared his throat, stood on the rocks by the river, pointed at the corpses of those monsters, and spoke impassionedly, like a Jiangdong bully:
"Linjiang Tomb, there are millions of monsters. These monsters have killed countless people during their lifetime. Each corpse is engraved with patterns carefully carved by His Excellency Lin Yuan. Forged by a master, the ingenuity is exquisite. Do I need to say more about the gold content? Every drop Blood, every piece of flesh, is a slow achievement, this thing, one corpse starts a family, ten corpses shake the world, how famous these corpses can be, tsk tsk, I dare not think."

Obviously, facing these things, Magnum III was moved.He is not stupid, he knows what Zhou Li means.Magnum glanced at the mountain of corpses behind Zhou Li, and then said to Zhou Li indifferently: "Let's make a price."

"Hey, you kid is still being polite to your buddies."

Zhou Li squatted on the stone without any hesitation about his own image. Looking at the spring water in the river, he sighed and said, "Oh, but my brother will settle the score, so we still have to break it."

"Look, Lin Yuan killed these monsters with his own hands. Who is Lin Yuan? God-given! God-given, do you understand? They killed these monsters, it is their credit. If it weren't for your good brother I pulled down my old face and begged you for a chance to make a deal, and no one would even look at you."

"You said that Ms. Lin Yuan's achievements in the history books were taken away by you. She must have been hurt mentally. You must pay for the mental damage, right?"

Seeing Magnum III who opened his mouth and wanted to say something, Zhou Li yelled, pretending to slip his hand, and gently dropped the mirror to the ground. The mirror on Magnum III's side was suddenly pitch black, and only the sound could be heard Zhou Li screamed in panic.

"Oh, sister Lin, you can't do it. Although we are at the level of gods and have invincible space ability, it is easy to kill a dog hiding in the palace, but we just killed so many monsters, you We're too tired, let's take a rest."

Then Zhou Li hurriedly picked up the mirror, smiled at Magnum, "You're just kidding, Ms. Lin Yuan is spending time with her child, who has the time to care about you?"

However, Magnum III felt chills in Zhou Li's smile. He understood the meaning of Zhou Li's seemingly nonsensical actions just now—if you dare to use Lin Yuan as a Magnum to suppress me, don't blame Lin Yuan. Iris helped me with my errands.

"Tell me a price, hurry up."

Facing Magnum III's question, Zhou Li said without hesitation, "360 million gold coins."

"Are you crazy?!"

Magnum III couldn't hold back any longer. Looking at Zhou Li's ugly face, he said angrily, "Are you going to empty out my treasury?"

"Don't be embarrassing." Zhou Li waved his hand and said with a smile: "I have calculated accurately, this is only half of your treasury, and it is far from being emptied."

"Zhou Li, don't speak too loudly!"

Magnum III stared at Zhou Li and said viciously, "You don't want to see us tearing our faces apart. It's not good for each other. 360 million is too much, and it's almost hurting Magnum. I can't promise you."

"There are no wars, no road repairs, no public utility expenditures, and you don't even repair a single public toilet. I've done the math for you a long time ago. As long as your royal family pays less than two years of noble salaries, don't repair the palace every day. Splendid and resplendent, half the treasury is more than enough."

Zhou Li squatted in front of the mirror, with a sarcastic smile on his face, and said to Magnum III: "Of course, I don't want to go out of business. I'll leave you 60 gold coins to appease the nobles myself. As for what they bought I will purchase those materials at a price of 80.00%, and the money will be deducted from these. Think about it carefully and give you some time."

Before Magnum III could bargain, Zhou Li hung up the communicator.Afterwards, he took out a small communicator, on which was hung a red Chinese knot, which was given to Xiaoke by Lin Yuan, implying peace.

"It's time to act."

*************************
In the bedroom, Magnum III sat on a special chair, looked at the mirror in his hand that had lost its image, and said nothing.After a long time, he raised his head and whispered to the empty door: "Command the frontier army to prepare for action."

"You can't let the rhythm be mastered by him."

Standing up and looking in Muqi's direction, Magnum III squinted his eyes and said to himself: "Let the army suppress the border first, and I must control the right to speak. At that time, the price of these corpses may not be anyone's price. It's up to you."

The next day, Magnum III received the news.As early as 10 minutes before he issued the order, the Celestial Army of the Three Courts of the East, the Third Iron Torrent of the Yingnan, and Talis's glorious troops had already gathered at the border of Magnum III, who seemed to have been prepared.The reason these three armies gathered at the border of Muqi was that they had received the news from the brave that Void invaded again, and they came here to protect Muqi in order to prevent the remnants of Void.

Facing the most elite troops of these three countries, the Pioneering Sword Legion chose Congxin like a lost dog.They claim to be sent by Magnum, just like everyone else, to protect Mooqi's legion.Therefore, Magnum III's plan to control the border completely failed, and under the eyes of the three major powers, he did not dare to threaten with force.

At the same time, an unprecedented crisis of public opinion broke out in Magnum in just one day.A large number of newspapers and media have reported on the Void Crisis of Mu Qi.At the same time, due to unknown reasons, the newspapers all exaggerated Muqi as a tragic country that resisted the invasion of the void and prevented the disaster from recurring.For a while, public opinion exploded, and calls to protest the invasion of Muqi came one after another. The previous atmosphere of war was swept away, and Magnum's anti-war sentiment was unprecedentedly high.

Faced with strong pressure from home and abroad, Magnum III did not dare to act perversely.In the end, he was forced to have no choice but to choose to give up all the bills and regulations against Muqi, declare unconditional protection of Muqi's sovereignty, and agree to send a team to supervise him at Twelve Quarters.

Of course, Magnum has not gained nothing in this war.One of their diplomats, Torea, became a war hero.With her outrageous record and the battlefield of Lin Yuan, the strongest space professional, Torreia instantly became a hot topic. For a time, the name of White Hope was exaggerated, and Torreia became a household name.

At the same time, in order to make up for the previous sanctions against Muqi, Magnum III specially called on all the nobles to give up their four-year wages, and the entire royal family cut down on food and clothing, and donated more than 100 million gold coins to help Muqi in post-war reconstruction.Such a big gesture shocked all countries and won unanimous praise.

But that's what happened later.After hanging up Xiao Ke's communicator, Zhou Li closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the cool air. He stretched his waist and lay down on the stone facing the cool air blowing towards his face.

The starry sky is bright and the full moon is bright.

The surrounding crowd was bustling, and all the residents of Havana took to the streets. They helped the regiments that suffered heavy losses to maintain order and clean up the remnants of the battlefield.Sometimes they would pass by here, they knew Zhou Li, the brave man who helped them.But the Muqi people didn't want to disturb him, they just saluted Zhou Li from a distance, and then left quietly without making a sound.

"What, are you tired?"

A familiar, reassuring voice sounded from beside him.Zhou Li didn't open his eyes, he just raised his hand, held Elma's hand who was smiling and put it on his chest.

"Has Mu Qi's successor been chosen?"

Elma's azure eyes reflected the clear water of the river. She shook Zhou Li's hand and replied softly, "Well, it's an elemental mage named Talis. She looks lazy, but she's very mobile. Strong and popular.”

"Fortunately."

Zhou Li breathed a sigh of relief, opened his eyes, and sat up.The towering tree hanging from the sky is right by the bank of the river. In the moist air, this tree with strong vitality and luxuriant branches sways slightly in the wind.

A girl holding a bouquet came over and placed the flowers under the tree.She closed her eyes reverently towards the tree, folded her hands together, and worshiped for a long time.

The abundance of flowers under the trees proves that this is not the first Muqi people to visit.After they finished their work and helped others finish cleaning faster, they would always come here together and offer a flower to this tree that had never appeared before today.

The Havanese don't know why they do this, they just feel that this lush tree that seems to have a strong vitality is very kind.

It seems that this tree is blessing Muqi.

"Who is it?"

In fact, Elma is also very doubtful about this tree.This tree feels very kind to her. In the wind, it looks like a kind old man watching every plant and tree in Muqi.

Zhou Li stood up, left the stone, and picked up two white flowers from the side of the road.He handed one to Elma, and the two walked side by side to the tree.

He put the flowers on the sword of the numerous bouquets. The small white flowers were extraordinarily petite among the brightly colored flowers, but they were inexplicably harmonious.Zhou Li raised his head, looked at the canopy of the tree touching the starry sky, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

"He was the soul of a country."

"His name is Muqi."
