Chapter 75 Tyrant
Leng Baibai came over and teased deliberately: "Oh, you are the smart one."
He glanced sideways: "Unlike someone..."
Fenjin suddenly came over.
He didn't say anything, but took out a jade pendant with flame pattern.
"Happy one thousand and fourteenth birthday."
Han Zhi looked at the jade pendant and his fingertips paused subconsciously.
I don’t know if it was because of the shock at the jade pendant or because of Fenjin’s “Happy Birthday”.
He recognized this jade pendant; it was the token of the Crown Prince of Jin Kingdom.
"Take it." Fen Jin said, "No one else is suitable to take it except you."
Han Zhi suddenly looked up at him.
Fenjin simply handed the jade pendant to him, didn't want to say anything more, and walked to the side silently.
Leng Baibai saw it clearly from the side, came over and bumped Han Zhi's arm, whispered: "Do you like this? I have it too, I'll have someone send it to you when I'm done."
Han Zhi: “…”
It seems unprecedented that one person is responsible for the succession of two countries.
There is a saying in the world that happy times are always short.
When they were half drunk, Han Zhi took Chi Changyuan out.
"Kneel down." He said coldly.
Chi Changyuan was stunned. He didn't expect Han Zhi to say this suddenly, but he still did as he was told.
"You do whatever I tell you to do?" Han Zhi smiled. He had a good alcohol tolerance and was not drunk. He raised his hand and cupped Chi Changyuan's cheek: "You just listen to me?"
Chi Changyuan frowned. Fortunately, Han Zhi didn't ask him to answer. He was just expressing his feelings.
"Who asked you to come to Jiutu?"
Chi Changyuan helped a lot in Jiutu in the past three days, and he knew it as soon as he came back.
Chi Changyuan lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "I want to help you."
He thought Han Zhi didn't like him staying here, so he quickly said: "If you are unhappy, I can immediately..."
"That's not necessary."
Han Zhi said: "I want you to protect the mortals, okay?"
Chi Changyuan suddenly looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and then nodded heavily: "I promise you." His fingertips gently covered Han Zhi's hand that was holding his cheek, and the warmth of his palm passed through the fabric. "I will protect the livelihood and safety of all people, and will not let them be disturbed by the war in the slightest."
Han Zhi saw the seriousness in his eyes and gently stroked his jawline with his fingertips. The alcohol softened his tone, but it still carried an unquestionable certainty: "It's not about 'not disturbing the war', it's about protecting the rice ears in the fields so they can harvest, protecting the children in the alley so they can sleep peacefully, and protecting them so they don't have to rely on God's will to live their lives."
Chi Changyuan's heart skipped a beat. He looked into Han Zhi's eyes, which reflected the warm glow of the lanterns under the eaves, brighter than the sun itself, stronger than the wine. His Adam's apple moved, and his voice was deeper than usual: "I understand. I will guard the smoke from the cooking fires of the nine lands. No, I will guard the peace of all mortals under heaven, just like I guard you."
"...Aren't you tired of me being so moody with you?"
Chi Changyuan said: "I was the one who wronged you first. I still have a lot to repay you. How could I be tired of it?"
He suddenly remembered that he had actually seen Han Zhi hiding away and torturing himself many times.
There were many scratches on his arms caused by himself.
"I just want to ask you, if you feel bad in the future, please don't hurt yourself, okay?"
He whispered, "Just like last time, you can hit me, scold me, or even bite me."
"Oh?" Han Zhi smiled. The wind blew and the bells rang. He was the most beautiful scenery in the night.
"You asked for this?"
Han Zhi doesn't have much time left for romance.
As the war progressed, those in the Nine Lands who were unwilling to submit to him gradually emerged.
No one knows Yu Chen's current situation. He only tells the outside world that he is in seclusion. However, the war is so severe that many gods suspect that Han Zhi has imprisoned the Earth God and want to ask him for an explanation.
"Imprisonment?" Han Zhi found this statement amusing. He pinched Yu Chen and asked, "Do I need it?"
Yu Chen: “…”
You didn't have to do that. You just stabbed me to death.
His divinity is now barely being preserved by Han Zhi. If one day Han Zhi gets unhappy and crushes it, he will completely disappear.
When the mountain god who opposed Han Zhi was dragged up, he still wanted to argue: "Han Zhi! You are a stone god, but you favor the mortals and betray the gods. You even repay your teacher with hatred! We are acting on behalf of heaven!"
"Doing justice for Heaven? Who do you think you are? Do you think you are worthy of doing justice for Heaven?"
On the chessboard, Han Zhi placed a black piece by himself. Playing chess with himself can be quite interesting sometimes.
Han Zhi stood up and gently brushed the handkerchief across his fingertips: "Since you are unwilling to die as a hero on the battlefield, I will execute you personally."
Sacrificing anyone is not a sacrifice.
The mountain god stiffened his neck and wanted to curse, but he was strangled by the water rope condensed by Chi Changyuan and could not make a sound.
He raised his hand, and the ice blade flashed coldly at his fingertips.
Chi Changyuan was one step ahead of him. The water flowed around the mountain god, and soon he turned into a shriveled corpse.
Chi Changyuan said: "I know you don't like killing. You don't have to do such a small thing."
Han Zhi glanced at him and didn't object.
"Go to Chongshansi."
The gods there control the food and supplies of the entire nine lands.
It is also where the opposition to him is the loudest.
…
When the palace door was pushed open, the hands of the Chongshansi guards holding the magic weapons were shaking, but they still forced themselves to maintain a defensive posture.
"Your Highness, no one is allowed to enter the Chongshan Division without being summoned!" The leading guard shouted with gritted teeth, but the spiritual light on the magic weapon was shaking badly.
"Summon?"
Han Zhi smiled: "What summons?"
The leading guard's face paled instantly, his lips moving, but he remained speechless for a long time. The guards behind him were even more flustered, the auras on their magical instruments trembling even more violently, and two of them even quietly took a half step back.
The Stone God is the most influential person in the Nine Lands. Everyone knows this, but this morning several elders ordered that His Highness the Stone God be stopped. Otherwise...
Han Zhi said: "Step back, I will not pursue this matter with you."
The implication is that if you don't retreat, your life will be in danger.
They had heard of the reputation of the Lord of the Prisons, and the prince in front of them was not someone to be trifled with.
On one side was the elder's death order, on the other side was the stone god's warning that the cold could freeze through the bones, and the rumor that the warden would "leave no one alive" was spinning in his mind, making even his fingertips tremble.
After weighing the pros and cons, the leading guard felt that His Majesty the Stone God looked more terrifying.
After all, it seemed as if he really intended to kill him.
"Yes!" The second before Han Zhi showed his impatience, the guard saluted without hesitation and led the others to move aside.
Han Zhi didn't look at them and walked straight into the hall.
The guards all lowered their heads, not daring to breathe. Only after Han Zhi and Chi Changyuan disappeared behind the palace gate did the leader's legs go limp, and he leaned against a pillar, gasping for air.
No wonder people say His Highness is a dictatorial tyrant...
