Chapter 222 Zhao Yuntian’s Daydream
Zhao Yuntian is simply begging with a golden bowl in his hand. He can't live a peaceful life, but he wants to die. He is really greedy and wants to swallow an elephant.
"You're lying! If you don't want a high position and generous salary, why go to the battlefield to fight?
If you don't fight for a better future, only a fool would die in vain, right? "
"I fought to protect my country from foreign invasion, to protect my family, relatives and friends from becoming slaves, and to ensure that the people can live in peace."
Zhao Yuntian didn't believe it and looked at Bai Li like a fool.
"So, I have now submitted my resignation to the Emperor, and will retire to the countryside and become an idle official."
"So, you don't want your military achievements anymore? You don't want your reward either?"
Zhao Yuntian didn't even realize that he had already revealed his greed, and was just anxious to verify it.
"Yes, I don't hold any official position now, and I won't have one in the future."
Bai Li avoided the main point and said that of course she should be rewarded, but there was no need to tell Zhao Yuntian.
"You...you are such a blockhead!"
The man's face was distorted with heartache, which Bai Li found amusing.
"That's my business, why are you so anxious?"
"You're with me now, you're mine, everything about you is mine, how can you say it has nothing to do with me?"
"Oh, then even if I give you my reward, do you dare to go to the emperor to claim it?"
"You, you won't use your military achievements to plead with the emperor to pardon me?"
"It's not enough to just pardon me. You have to release all 360 members of my family. You have to forgive us all our past crimes and give us promotions.
Yes, that's not too much. You single-handedly destroyed Simon's army of 200,000. This is a tremendous achievement. It's no exaggeration to ask the Emperor to give you half of the kingdom. Otherwise, he would have been a prisoner of Simon by now, and the Great Zhou would have been annexed by Simon!"
Bai Li looked at the man who had fallen into madness and shook his head silently. People who are obsessed with money and greed will never be satisfied.
"...You, why are you silent?"
"What should I say? Just now you said you joined King Ximen Jin and helped him achieve great things and gain merit. Now you turn around and say you want a reward from the Emperor of Great Zhou. Don't you think you're being very... very contradictory?"
Bai Li couldn't find the right words to describe him for a moment, and felt that talking to him was really tiring.
This kind of person is like this, a whore who wants to be a saint.
Everything must be done according to his wishes, so why not just let him be the emperor!
"No, if the Emperor of the Great Zhou could pardon our Zhao family, we wouldn't be unable to turn from evil to good and continue to serve the Great Zhou."
Zhao Yuntian was a little disappointed, but he felt that what he said was right. As long as the emperor pardoned his Zhao family, with Bai Li's military merits, the emperor would have to act according to his Zhao family's wishes in the future.
If the emperor is sensible and knows what to do, then it would be fine, so he can be an idle emperor. Otherwise, with Bai Li's strength, it would not be impossible to pull the emperor down and let Zhao Yuntian sit in that position...
Bai Li looked at him and saw that the more he thought about it, the more beautiful it became, his mouth almost stretched to his ears, and he knew what beautiful thing he was thinking about.
Humph, he is indeed greedy. I’m afraid he has even thought about how to become the emperor now?
Zhao Yuntian: How did you know? You're truly a worm in my stomach!
"Li'er! Let's go out now and go to the capital immediately to explain everything to the emperor!"
Bai Li was startled by his sudden voice.
"What did you say?"
"Going to the capital? I'm afraid you'll be surrounded by soldiers before we even reach the capital, and you won't be able to escape!"
"What are those officers and soldiers afraid of? You are not afraid of Simon's 200,000 troops on the battlefield, so why are you afraid of a few officers and soldiers?
At worst, I could just rebel against the Great Zhou, destroy that coward Zhou Yu, and establish myself as emperor..."
“Haha! Hahahaha…”
Bai Li laughed so hard that he almost choked!
"No, Li'er, what are you laughing at?"
Zhao Yuntian was slightly displeased, feeling that Bai Li had spoiled his fun a bit.
"I say... you can daydream while walking. I'm really impressed!"
"Li'er, what do you mean? Are you not willing to fulfill my wish by marrying me?
What's good for me is good for you, what's yours is mine, and a woman's family should be based on her husband..."
Marry your uncle?
Who would marry a psychopath like you!
Bai Li resisted the urge to vomit and forced his brain to think of a way to deal with him.
He is really too...
Bai Li couldn't find a suitable word to describe him for a while, and felt that saying anything about him would be an insult.
"Yes, a woman should be the leader of her husband, and a man should make great achievements, protect his home, and protect his wife and children..."
"No, Li'er, your martial arts skills are better than mine, and your abilities are stronger than mine, so you should be the one leading the troops into battle.
As your husband, I will take care of your family and country and provide you with support!"
Okay, sir!
He has the ambition to be king but he doesn't have the ability to do so, and he wants a woman to conquer the country for him so that he can sit back and enjoy the fruits of her labor and become the emperor. That would be so great for him!
Bai Li was so tired of rolling his eyes that his eyelids were twitching.
Forget it. There's no point in getting serious with a mentally ill person. It'll make you look mentally ill too.
"If I had that ability, why didn't I become the emperor myself? Why don't I let you do it?"
Before reaching the destination, Bai Li resisted the urge to run and continued to deal with him.
"Li'er! How could you have such an idea? I'm your man, so of course I should be the emperor.
You are a woman who should stay at home to take care of the children and accompany your husband when there is peace. But when there is a war, you should go to the battlefield immediately. How can you have the energy to be an emperor?
Furthermore, since ancient times, no woman has ever been emperor. If you were to become one, the people would probably rebel!"
Even when a man becomes emperor, there are still people who want to rebel. Aren’t those people you?
Bai Li was too lazy to argue with him. It was like an adult playing house with a child. No matter how beautiful the picture the child imagined was, it was all empty. Why should the adult take it seriously?
Just accompany him in his imagination and achieve his goal.
"Li'er? Li'er!"
Bai Li was distracted again. The sound was so irritating that his ears had developed an automatic shielding immune function.
"Oh, what did you say?"
"I just said so much, and you didn't hear a word?"
"I heard it, and then what?"
"Let's go find the witch doctor and take him away from here. He's resourceful and will find a way to help us."
"Why look for him? What if he is one of the Jin king's men and knows that you betrayed him? What if he tells the Jin king about it?"
Bai Li decided to trick him again to see what his relationship with the witch doctor was.
Zhao Yuntian paused, looking hesitant, as if he felt that Bai Li was right.
"Then, we won't look for him anymore. Let's go now. Once we're out of the forest, we'll disguise ourselves and go to the capital. We'll find the emperor and confront him directly."
This was a plan he had just come up with, and he thought it was the safest.
"A showdown with the Emperor? What do you want to show?"
Bai Li pretended not to understand, after all, he didn't say it explicitly just now.
