This brave man is a scumbag

Chapter 243 A Drift

"Yahoo!"

Controlling the vines, he threw himself to the top of the tower, and landed lightly in front of Torreya.After handing the exquisitely packaged lunch box to Torea, Xiao Ke sat beside her and happily opened the same lunch box in her hand.

The delicate rice is sprinkled with minced beef and cheese, and the strong aroma permeates all around.This is what Xiao Ke got from the Mu Qi embassy. As Mu Qi's active "big sage", Xiao Ke still has this small right.After eating two mouthfuls of hot beef rice, Xiao Ke caught a glimpse of Torea who was dazed aside from the corner of her eye.

"Yaya, why don't you eat?"

After a few days of getting along, the relationship between Xiao Ke and Torreia has improved a lot.After hearing Xiao Ke's inquiry, Toreya shook her hair lightly, and replied softly:
"I'm thinking about things."

"Then you have to eat."

After taking Torreia's lunch box, Xiao Ke sprinkled mayonnaise on the beef with ease, and handed it to Torreia, "A friend of mine once said that no matter what troubles a person, one should eat well. Because only Only when you are full can you have the strength to solve those problems."

Hearing this, Torreia took the exquisite lunch box, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef and put it in her mouth.When the rich meaty aroma and mayonnaise complement each other in the mouth, Torea squinted her eyes, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

"Hey, is that right?"

Looking at Torea who was eating beef rice in small bites, Xiao Ke seemed to be infected, a happy smile appeared on his face, and his calves wrapped in stockings were swinging in mid-air, shaking slightly.

After getting in touch with her during these days, Xiao Ke cherishes the days with this bright moon-like girl even more.Xiao Ke is keenly aware of the confusion and entanglement hidden in this girl who always hides her heart with coldness.

On the first night in Yingnan, when Xiao Ke left the clock tower and was about to return to the embassy, ​​she inexplicably turned her head and looked at the top of the clock tower.At that moment, Xiao Ke saw Torreya standing on the tall building.She is like the waning moon among the stars, she is surrounded by stars, but she only has loneliness.

As time goes by, Xiao Ke begins to feel pity for this girl who is as good in strength and wisdom.She had also worked alone in the City of Silver, and she knew what it was like to be alone.So during these days, Xiao Ke has been coming to the bell tower in the name of delivering meals. Sometimes she will talk to Torreia, but more often, she just sits quietly beside Torreia, Looking at the same scenery with her.

"Ms. Lia, I want to ask you something..."

"You told me to call me Xiao Ke." Xiao Ke waved his hand, and helplessly corrected Torea's address, "Say it, I'm listening."

After hesitating for a moment, Torreya put down the clean lunch box and asked Xiao Ke softly, "What do you think is justice?"

"Good guy?"

Xiao Ke was taken aback by this question, she scratched her cheek, and replied with some hesitation: "I think... helping others is a kind of justice."

"Help others..."

Looking at Torea who was lost in thought in front of her, Xiao Ke waved her hand in front of her and asked curiously: "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly ask this?"

"I just think that Mr. Zhou Li may be right."

Opening her palm, looking at the lines on her palm, a trace of confusion flashed in Torea's eyes, "Is it really right to use the lives of one group of people to save the lives of another group of people?"

"This…"

Faced with the classic magic car problem, Xiao Ke also made a difficult one.Right here, a deep voice that was extremely familiar to the two of them suddenly came to mind.

"If you have a psychological burden, just drift and kill the two groups of people, and there will be no difficult choice."

Sure enough, Xiao Ke turned around with a helpless smile, and Zhou Li leaned against the door with a free and easy face, with his arms folded and he didn't deserve a beating.

"Zhou Li, are you always so elusive?"

Having been breached of her defense system twice in a row, Xiao Ke was also helpless, annoyed and funny.Of course, she was angry because she was so careless, and she laughed because Zhou Li could always give different answers.

"Mr. Zhou Li, hello."

Seeing Zhou Li, Toreya immediately stood up and greeted him very politely.

"Go back to your question just now."

Zhou Li seemed to be deliberately not wanting to say hello to Torreya, and directly diverted the topic away: "You are asking whether it is justice to sacrifice one group of people to save another group of people, right?"

"Ah."

Torreya didn't care that Zhou Li took the topic away, and nodded.

"Hehe, what a comparison."

However, what the two ladies present did not expect was that Zhou Li uttered vulgar words unceremoniously, and said with a sneer, "I shouldn't expect your brain to turn around."

"There is never justice in the transaction of human life, it is only a question of whether you want to or not."

Zhou Li looked at Torea with a shocked expression, and said in a cold voice: "If you want those people to live, don't make excuses called justice to prevaricate yourself, kill what you have to do, do what you have to do, and do what you want to repent." Honestly repent at their graves."

Torreia was silent, she lowered her head, looking at some cracks in the old clock tower, her dazed expression was a little less.After a long time, she raised her head and said gratefully to Zhou Li: "Although I didn't understand it very well, I still gained a lot, thank you."

"If you can answer truthfully, I really want to beat you up hard."

Facing such an upright Torea, Zhou Li's expression was a little complicated. He looked at Xiao Ke and said to her, "We're going to hold a banquet at home, let's see you..."

Glancing at the clean lunch box in Xiao Ke's hand, Zhou Li was silent for a moment, and then said firmly, "Seeing that you're not full, let's come together."

Facing Zhou Li who could open his eyes so brazenly and talk nonsense, Xiao Ke hissed, and then pretended to be disgusted, and said to Zhou Li: "Tsundere is retired, you said it yourself."

"Tsk, come or not!"

"Come on, come on, can't we go, it's so fierce."

The extroverted Xiao Ke was never stingy with joking with her friends. She grabbed the hand of the bewildered Torea and said to Zhou Li, "Do you mind if I bring one more?"

"Hurry up, hurry up, there's too much talk."

Zhou Li turned around and walked straight down the bell tower.Xiao Ke chuckled, looked at Torea, who was full of confusion, and said with a smile: "Let's go, he wants to invite you to the party, but he's too embarrassed to say it directly, so he wants me to do it for him."

"Is that right?"

Torreya, who thought she had angered Zhou Li, breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at Zhou Li downstairs, and the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously.

"Come on~~"

Elma took off her gloves, hummed a brisk song and ran towards the gate with small steps, her ponytail tucked high behind her head bouncing and bouncing along with her steps.

"Oh, welcome~"

After seeing Torea next to Zhou Li, a look of surprise flashed across Elma's face. She took the drink Zhou Li gave her and said to Torea with a smile: "I just made butter biscuits , it will be ready soon, come in quickly."

Seeing Elma with a gentle smile on her face, who looked like a mother who had just cooked, Torea was a little dazed by her enthusiasm for a moment.She opened her mouth to say something, but when it got to her mouth, it became.

"Thank you."

"Hi, thank you for what."

Elma waved her hand, manipulated the water element and placed the slippers in front of Elma, "I always wanted to thank you in person, but I couldn't find you."

"I prefer to look at the scenery, so I usually stay in a bell tower."

Torea seems to be restrained by Elma, and she can't let go of her hands and feet in front of Elma for no reason.Elma also noticed this, and didn't pursue it, but just moved out of the way.Then he asked Zhou Li curiously: "Where is Xiao Ke? Why didn't you see her?"

As soon as the words were finished, Xiao Ke who was hiding at the side suddenly appeared and hugged Elma with a smile.

"I'm here~~"

Alma, who was taken aback, patted Xiao Ke's hair lightly in embarrassment, and then a happy look appeared on her face: "Everyone is here today."

"Yes."

Zhou Li stepped forward, stretched out his hand and wiped off the flour on the bridge of Elma's nose, "Ai Wei and the others are back?"

"I'm back, I'm studying the seasoning for the skewers in the backyard."

"Have fun today."

Zhou Li stretched his waist, and said with emotion: "This is the first day of my resignation, and it is quite memorable."

"Of course."

Alma patted Zhou Li on the shoulder, and said cheerfully: "This is a good day, of course we should celebrate it."

**************************************
"Fuck, isn't this using me as a toy?!"

Zhou Li's home was brightly lit, with laughter and laughter.At this time, the Jordanian government building is also brightly lit, but it is full of obscenities.

He slapped the table hard, facing the document "Arrangement Measures for Orphans During the Plague" that was leaking in his hand, Istar looked sad, "This is not for me to review at all, but to inform me."

"Master Istar, I read it, and it is indeed so."

The assistant Ackerman put down the same document in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "There is nothing that can be changed. If it is changed forcibly, the consequences will be disastrous."

After approving 32 documents in one day, the main content of the job was to discuss with his assistant whether his existence was meaningful, and Istar almost collapsed.

He extremely, extremely, extremely hated this feeling of powerlessness. He could understand every word on it, and he could understand the purpose of these laws and regulations, but he just couldn't change them.

Ah, he can change it.After three hours of unremitting efforts by Istar and Ackerman, they researched the loopholes in the "Jordanian excrement disposal method during the plague", and were pleasantly surprised to find that Istar can contract The feces of the entire plague zone.

What a good news, haha, what a comparison.

Now, Istar has been overwhelmed by countless laws and regulations, and he doesn't want to see any documents anymore.The current Istar wished that two assassins would come in and assassinate him, and he would be seriously injured with one knife, so that he could call him sick to the outside world.

but…

Standing up and looking out of the window at the impenetrable army surrounding the Jordan building, Ishtar felt like crying.Although these soldiers gave him a great sense of security, they also made him feel powerless for a while.According to the thinking of normal people, these troops should be protecting on the surface, but monitoring secretly.

If it's just that, Ista doesn't care too much, it's normal, which person listening to politics doesn't have an eyeliner?The lack of eyeliner surprised him.

And Zhou Li was the biggest surprise.

After learning that this group of troops really only protects themselves from outside aggression, and does not monitor any of their communication equipment, Istar was stunned.

Then, he understood Zhou Li's intention.

You go to contact, you go to discuss with your nobles, it's useless anyway, you can discuss it as you want.

This is a contempt, a contempt that is confident.But it was this kind of contempt that left Duke Istar helpless.At this time, he is completely a toy to be bullied on all sides. The nobles want him to open the back door, the civilians want him to die, the military and other forces are watching from the sidelines, and Zhou Li is happy.

A world where only you are hurt appears.

Thinking of this, Ishtar felt short of breath, and he felt a pain in his chest.

"Ackerman, tell me, what should I do?"

Inexplicably, Istar, who became the consul, seemed very confused at this time. As a person who disdained to engage in black business with the nobles, but had to stand on the same front with those nobles, Istar was completely lost. Now He found that the aristocratic relationship he once thought was the strongest has now become his biggest burden.

"Do you really want me to?"

As Istar's confidant, Ackerman didn't shy away from it, and said bluntly: "If I really say it, it's up to you whether you accept it or not, but don't blame me for speaking too bluntly."

"Go ahead."

Istar shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile, "Although I know what you want to say, I still want to hear your thoughts."

"It's simple."

Taking a deep breath, Ackerman said bluntly: "Give up the nobles completely and stand by Zhou Li."

"Oh, I knew it."

With a long sigh, Ista sat on the chair, closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I thought about it too, but if I really did this, what should I do if Zhou Li leaves Yingnan after this incident?" ?”

"Then why don't you ask General Christine?"

Ackerman straightened his glasses and replied calmly: "General Christine also defected to Zhou Li. He is also a man like you and holds a high position."

"I'm not like him."

After waving his hands, Istar replied, "Kristen... Don't look at him who has been in politics for decades, he will always look like a perfect politician. But in fact, this kid still has the blood of a soldier in his bones."

"Moreover, Christine is alone. He was cursed in the grotesque disaster and has no fertility. After his wife died of illness a few years ago, he has no relatives."

"Where are his parents?"

Facing the question from his subordinates, Istar thought for a while, and then said with some uncertainty: "Christine, it seems that there are no parents."

"Kristen is an orphan just like his man."
