Chapter 681 Is this his wish?
Cen Xiu was stunned for a moment, as if he suspected that he had heard it wrongly.
"What did you say?"
When the servants in the mansion heard him ask this, they thought that it was because the wind was too strong today and Cen Xiu didn't hear clearly what they said.
"I just said that Madam has been waiting for you for a long time today."
Huo Baiwei smiled and took the cloak from the maid beside her and put it on Cen Xiu.
"It's a bit windy today. It's quite cold when it blows on your body. You are always afraid of the cold. Why don't you wear more clothes?"
When she was about to tie the cloak, Cen Xiu's face became stiff and he grabbed Huo Baiwei's hand. This made his face even stiffer.
"I...I can do it myself."
Huo Baiwei looked puzzled, but she didn't say much. She just nodded quietly and said, "Okay."
He didn't understand why Huo Baiwei became his wife in this copy, but he knew what he was thinking.
Now walking together with Huo Baiwei, Cen Xiu subconsciously distanced himself from them.
But his eyes turned uncontrollably towards Huo Baiwei.
Audience: “!!!”
【Oh my god, I just said I got hit! 】
[Okay, okay, I've been chasing him for so long, but I didn't realize that Cen Xiu was interested in Huo Baiwei. I really didn't expect that!]
【Shock me for ten thousand years! 】
[In fact, I have noticed that there is something wrong between the two of them. Maybe Bai V doesn't like Cen Xiu, but I have always felt that Cen Xiu seems to like Huo Baiwei.]
[Dude, you are a walking CP detector. You can see such a subtle relationship?! ]
[I don’t know if it’s hidden or not, anyway, the CPs I support are basically real. ]
Cen Xiu looked at Huo Baiwei's back, his eyes lowered, a bitter smile flashed across his eyes.
He himself knows his own thoughts.
In real life, he hides it very well.
But he didn't expect that in this copy, all his thoughts would be exposed.
Why?
Because all of this is shaped according to his thoughts and ideas.
After entering the room, Cen Xiu still kept a distance from Huo Baiwei.
He did not forget that this copy was in the form of live broadcast.
If Huo Baiwei had already gone out, he would have watched the live broadcast and knew that he actually had such a secret thought. He was afraid that -
Cen Xiu knew from the beginning that people like Huo Baiwei would not be obsessed with love.
And I won't really put all my thoughts on feelings.
From the beginning, there would be no ending for the two of them.
Therefore, Cen Xiu always hid his thoughts very well.
I just didn't expect to come across this copy.
"Cen Xiu, tell me, is there a possibility that -"
After a pause, Huo Baiwei put down the book in her hand and said, "Actually, you don't have to be so far away from me."
Cen Xiu pursed his lips. Since Huo Baiwei was looking at him like this, he really couldn't ignore her completely.
Cen Xiu lowered his eyes, not knowing what to say for a moment. After a while, he said, "I'm sorry, I'm just used to it."
He is not used to communicating with others much.
I've also gotten used to it, and have always treated her with a polite and distant attitude.
Huo Baiwei raised her eyebrows.
"Get used to it? Well, you were really cold and distant before, which made me think it was troublesome to find you every time."
"But now that your wish has been fulfilled, you don't have to be so tense all the time."
Cen Xiu looked into her eyes. Has his wish been fulfilled?
In fact, he himself hardly remembers what his wish is.
"What do I wish for?"
He asked with a smile, not knowing whether he was asking Huo Baiwei or himself.
Huo Baiwei felt that Cen Xiu was very strange today.
But since he asked that.
She wouldn't completely ignore him.
"Isn't your greatest wish to restore the country? This is the mission of your Cen family. You have been guarding this mission for a long time, but fortunately, you have completed it now, right?"
Cen Xiu didn't say anything, but just stared at the ceiling without blinking.
In fact, he no longer remembered whether his wish was to restore the country.
Restoring the country is the Cen family’s wish, but is it his?
I don’t know, maybe.
Ever since he was born, his grandfather and father told him that they, the Cen family, had a mission.
The mission is to resurrect the historical tyrant, King Zhuangli.
In order to resurrect him and fulfill his ideal of restoring the country, the Cen family paid an untold price and committed countless sins.
In the past few years, Cen Xiu also asked, what if——
If the ideal of restoring the country cannot be achieved, what should the Cen family do?
What did my grandfather and father answer at that time?
They said that if they failed to achieve the ideal of restoring the country, at the moment of their lives, the descendants of the Cen family would choose to turn themselves into ashes.
Because they failed to accomplish the great task of restoring the nation, the Cen family did not have the face to go underground to meet King Zhuang Li.
In the end, Cen Xiu's father and grandfather did choose such an extreme way to die by turning into ashes.
Cen Xiu didn't know why they had to resurrect King Zhuang Li. He also asked what was so good about this famous tyrant in history that was worth resurrecting.
Even if we really help him restore his country, what would that matter?
In the end, the same mistakes will happen again.
A tyrant cannot govern a country well.
Not to mention that King Zhuang Li was not only a tyrant, but also a incompetent ruler.
However, after asking this question, Cen Xiu was met with a severe beating.
He was beaten nearly to death.
——History is always written by the victors. Don't be a traitor and follow others to slander the emperor! If you do it again, I will beat you to death.
Under the brainwashing of his father and grandfather day after day, Cen Xiu gradually accepted and told himself in his heart that King Zhuang Li was a wise monarch.
He treated wise men with respect and valued loyal ministers and capable generals. However, due to his bad luck, he encountered natural disasters and wars year after year, and the Zhuang Dynasty came to an end.
Even a wise monarch like him was powerless to save the situation.
The victors take away the villains; history is always written by the winners.
As the loser, King Zhuang Li had to end up like that and was written as a tyrant.
But the Cen family cannot be like that mob.
The Cen family must shoulder the responsibility of restoring the country.
Sometimes, after hearing this kind of talk so many times, you start to believe it.
Moreover, if Cen Xiu dared not to believe it, he would not even be alive today.
In order to restore the country, he has sacrificed a lot and paid a heavy price.
Not to mention others, he himself could not accept that King Zhuang Li would truly be as foolish and cruel as written in history books.
Cen Xiu smiled and shook his head. He himself didn't know whether Huo Baiwei was right or not.
"Being with me, nothing will end well, at least not here."
He looked at Huo Baiwei, "So, do you want to leave?"
"I will make proper arrangements for your future destination so that you won't have to worry about food and clothing."
