Blessings to the beautiful stars

From ancient times to the present, no matter how much those in power try to whitewash the "imperial power" with a sacred color, they have never been able to stop others from coveting this power.

If the country begins to collapse and the order begins to collapse, coups against power will be staged again and again.Throughout the ages, how many royal palaces and thrones have changed owners under the shadow of swords and swords.

So, what is the first step to a successful coup in an ancient imperial palace?
Should he hold all civil and military officials hostage first, or secretly communicate with the palace guards?
No, time and time again the practical record proves that if you want the coup d'etat to succeed, the first thing you need to win is the "arsenal" of the palace.

Yes, it is the warehouse for storing weapons.

The power gap between armed and unarmed is so huge, even if the number of people the coup d'état can instigate is several times or even ten times that of the emperor's guards who are defending the coup, without weapons, the unarmed coup d'état will just scatter.

As for letting the coup d'état bring their own weapons?It is also impossible.The number of self-provided weapons must not cause alarm, and the types can only be limited to some short knives and sticks.

Short knives and short sticks, such a simple thing, how can it face the swords, guns, swords and halberds of the palace guards?
Only by controlling the arsenal first, or at least controlling the violence equivalent to that of the emperor, can the various tactics of the second hand have the confidence and significance to implement.

The so-called "power" exists only ten steps away from the emperor.

Most emperors are ordinary people, and only by keeping a distance can they create the sacredness and mystery, to order people who are ten steps away, and through them, to carry out their will thousands of miles away.

The so-called palace coup was probably sending violence within ten steps of the emperor's overwhelmed self, tearing off his sacred coat with violence, and stripping him into a white and clean ordinary person.

however.

If the emperor himself is the greatest violence, what if his own strength can directly suppress all coveted and even rebutted voices?

Then this kind of regime will probably be extremely stable, without any waves or shocks, and will continue for thousands of years, until a real challenger appears, or the emperor himself gets tired of it.

Zuo Wu is still far from being "tired of playing", he still has so many things he wants to do.Similarly, Della, who is the challenger this time, is still young and far from maturity.

and so.

This "coup" against Zuo Wu at the top of the giant structure was easily suppressed.Although the momentum of the worms was like thunder, none of them could get close to Zuo Wu, let alone stop Zuo Wu from approaching Della.

Zuo Wu was even able to walk amidst the howling of the insect people, casually brushing away their mouths that were gnawing fiercely at him, and pushing away the claws and carapaces they threw at him.

then.

Stretch your hand forward, easily invading the most heavily guarded place by the insects.The blade-like insect feathers stirred, but to Zuo Wu it was more like a feather caressing.

In this way, he gently pulled Della who hadn't had time to get away from the guard of the swarm, and gently pressed the worm girl.

If it wasn't for Della's eyes that were about to burst into flames, Zuo Wu would have squeezed out a smile, and interpreted the conflict so intense this time, which could already be equated with the rebellion, as an ordinary play between father and daughter.

But no, now it is the childish and willful emperor who wants to put the wise princess to the execution ground.

Zuo Wu bowed his head. In order to prevent Della from running away, he used his knees to support her lower back, and tied her three hands behind his back, and did not dodge or evade the fierce resistance of the remaining one.

Contrary to the fierceness of Della's body movements.

The earphones of flesh and blood attached to her body, exposed to the air like photophobic worms, so cringe and avoid.

Zuo Wu stretched out his hand toward the earphone of flesh and blood.

Della watched everything out of the corner of her eye.

at last.

When Zuo Wu grabbed the tip of the earphone, Chongniang finally turned ashen, gave up all resistance, and burst the tears that she had endured for a long time, but her words still did not soften in the slightest:
"...Dad, did you ever catch bugs when you were a child?"

Zuo Wu pursed his lips. At this moment, he was thinking about peeling the flesh and blood earphones off Della.This was much more difficult than imagined, and it didn't work out for a while.

Hearing Della's question, Zuo Wu didn't stop moving his hands, just coaxing a child to deal with it casually: "I don't remember what happened when I was a child."

Della pursed her lips: "Then dad should also have some common sense, that is, bugs are so stupid. When they are caught resisting, if they are not careful, they will lose their wings, feet, carapaces, and even their heads. Then they staggered and ran to In the wilderness, I don’t know how long I can live.”

Left and right are still coping: "It's cruel."

I lowered my head again, and finally found out that the reason why I couldn't peel off the branch-shaped earphones of flesh and blood from Della's body several times was that there was a film-like adhesion between it and Della.

Find the source of the problem, now you need to think about how to cut the film.

Seeing that Zuo Wu didn't pay attention at all, Della smiled lightly again.

This smile can be called fragile, so familiar to Zuo Wu, it surprised him.Subconsciously, Della's smiling face overlapped with Xiao Hui's appearance of breaking with her in the past.

Zuo Wu finally got serious: "Della, what struggle are you talking about?"

Della didn't answer, the smile on her face suddenly broke, but she struggled violently with her body held down by Zuo Wu.

The strength of this struggle is so enormous. After all, Della has the genes of a dragon in her body. Too many strong alloys can be easily kneaded like plasticine in front of her growing up.

——It is said that the human brain has a protective mechanism that limits the power of the muscles to prevent the muscles from exerting too much force and causing people to be strained or fractured.Unless it encounters an unprecedented crisis, the brain will temporarily release this restriction.

The same is true for small bugs. When they are caught and start to struggle, the force of their muscles will easily exceed the load of the body, causing limbs to break, feet and heads.

What about Della?

Zuo Wu's heart suddenly suspended.

The struggle that broke Della's smile was like a dragon sweeping across the planet's surface with its tail.

The complex mechanics even prevented Zuo Wu from completely absorbing the impact of this struggle on the environment for a while.

I saw that the top of this giant structure hanging high in the sky was about to overturn. The vibrations were transmitted along the body of the giant structure to the ground, and perhaps triggered a moderate earthquake below.

Through the trembling noise, Zuo Wu's heart also hung to the highest point.It was Della's neck that was swaying to one side, her muscles, her carapace of skin, all screaming violently under this earthquake-causing struggle.

a long time.

Zuo Wu finally realized that it was a false alarm.

Della's neck and the carapace made of skin were still trembling, but the dragon scales attached to it had never been so crystal clear.Each of her dragon scales is like white snow, only the tip of the scale has a touch of delicate bright red.

Although this appearance is very different from the roughness of the ether dragon, its ability is very similar - they are both so strong that they can transfer all damage to the scales attached to the scales themselves.

At the beginning, when Zuo Wu confronted King Youheng who went to Liaoyuan in order to snatch the engine of the etheric elephant, he was troubled by King Youheng's dragon scale armor.

Fortunately, after that, by chance, Zuo Wu never encountered an enemy wearing a complete dragon scale armor again.Only the original difficulty still remains like a psychological shadow.

I didn't expect to meet again this time, but it was the nature of the dragon scale that helped me with Daila's matter.

So at this time.

Zuo Wu looked at Della and finally pressed down his fear.Chong Niang was also shocked by the tenacity of her body and remained speechless for a long time.

An unspeakable silence enveloped the father and daughter.

Until Zuo Wu's fingertips suddenly flashed a blue light.

- It's a blue laser.

Facing the film sticking between the flesh and blood earphones and Della's body, the only way Zuo Wu could think of was to cut it off.

Zuo Wu knew that he didn't have much experience in this kind of delicate work. The only time he cut open the stomach of the illegal queen of the Stru bugs on the dead planet at the very beginning was to get back the undigested hands and feet for Levina. That time.

That time I used a blue laser.

This time it is best to stick to the old ways and not to play other tricks.Zuo Wu exhaled, pressed down his glowing fingertips, and said softly to Chongniang: "Della, don't move. Sigh, you have dragon scales, even if I cut them crookedly, it shouldn't hurt."

"...Well," Della asked suddenly, sullenly: "My predecessor, the illegal queen who provided me with the insect-human gene, when she was cut open by you, Dad, did she look like I do now? "

This really caught Zuo Wu.

Zuo Wu leaned back, tried his best to see Della's current appearance, and compared it with the memory he had never forgotten, but the more he compared it, the more frightened he became.

——With nothing, no memory, and no sense of morality, I was able to cut open the illegal queen alive for my own purposes.

However, under a bit of guilt that was disguised as a hobby, he preserved the gene of the illegal queen, and finally created Della by chance.

And by now, Della had grown up.

What about yourself?So many adventures, so many experiences, one choice after another.Isn't the self who has lost his memory rebuilding his personality, growing up again, and constructing the concepts of morality and good and evil?

It's just about growing up. Della's answer sheet is perfect, but Zuo Wu's is not satisfactory.

Another proof this time.

Why can I, who lost my memory and lost everything, still preserve the gene of the illegal queen because of instinctive guilt;
But now that he has grown up again, and he has rebuilt the concept of right and wrong, good and evil, he can use the blue laser that cut the body of the illegal queen to face Della, his daughter, and his close relative ?

Why is it only right for people who are closer to them to hurt them?

Zuo Wu took a deep breath, the blue laser hanging in the air, and suddenly turned his head to look at Ai Shanshan and Ji Zhi.They were still fighting against the guards, doing everything in their power to stop their folly.

Scars and messes appeared on both of them, but they were so dazzling and eye-catching.

Zuo Wu didn't dare to look directly at him, so he could only lower his head, looking at the Chongniang who was pressed under his knees almost in an execution style, and said silently:
"I just want to save you, that's all. But why did things become like this..."

"Ha, haha. Della, does the so-called growth mean learning that human resources are exhausted and beyond what one can do. I want everything to have a happy ending, but in the end I can only get sadness in exchange for a multiple-choice question that is destined to hurt both sides? "

Della was stunned for a moment, then turned her head slightly to look at Zuo Wu, she was still very serious even though she was out of the corner of her eye, and after a long time of watching, she finally smiled:
"Ah, this question, I also asked myself - 'Is the so-called growth, is to learn to be selfish, to learn that people have high and low, and the difference between upper and lower?'"

"That's the time I asked my tribe to die for me, I was their queen and I 'asked' them to die for me."

heard.

Zuo Wu blinked, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "What about now, Della, after so long, have you come up with an answer to refute your 'could'?"

Della thought about it very seriously, and the once broken smile on her face seemed to be a little relieved: "...No, I'm sorry."

"It's me who should apologize. I'm sorry, Della," Zuo Wu also smiled. At this moment, he felt that he and Della had settled down:
"If my growth is ultimately a multiple-choice question that hurts both sides, then while hurting you, I hope I hurt more."

Della didn't speak any more, just quietly watched the blue laser light from Zuo Wu's fingertips wandering around her body.The film that adhered to the earphones of flesh and blood was not part of her body after all, nor was it covered by dragon scales, so it was easily cut.

The earphone of flesh and blood that could contact the ether dragon was cut off.

Della moved: "Father, are you confident that you can persuade the ether dragon to give you luck? The earphones have been stuck to me for so long, and I have been listening to the dragon's voice... It is getting more and more schizophrenic. It's getting worse."

Zuo Wu chuckled and glued the segmented flesh to his ears: "I will discuss it with it. But in the end, whether it will give up its luck or not does not depend on whether it agrees or not."

Just like when using the decay of luck to destroy Xiaohui's bright star sea, Zuo Wu took the luck of the other life into his body without asking for anyone's consent.

Della nodded.

Zuo Wu closed his eyes, listened to the voice from the ether dragon in the flesh and blood earphones for a moment, and chuckled: "There is a play."

"...Hmm." Della was depressed again.

Zuo Wuxu clenched his fist and began to speak to the air:

"Ranluo, I will snap my fingers next. When I snap my fingers, let this script end, and then I will start the reverse use of luck decay to save this world, okay?"

A gust of breeze blows by, expressing Ranluo's promise.

Zuo Wu exhaled and raised his arms slowly.

Della was still lying on the ground, she almost bit her lips, as if there were countless words to say, but in the end, the thousand words only condensed the heaviest notes: "Goodbye, Dad."

Zuo Wu did not respond.

Della frowned: "I said, goodbye, Dad!"

Zuo Wu still didn't say a word.

The unresponsive response made Chong Niang deeply annoyed. She turned her head and gritted her teeth: "Father, are you deaf or..."

Della was speechless.

Because Zuo Wu also bit his lip, he knew that if he responded at this moment, all the determinations he had made would come to naught.

Nostalgia, reluctance, the struggle of Ai Shanshan and Ji Zhi in the distance, Xiao Hui who is still in a panic, under his command, there are so many people who work hard to live in this script.

With so many landscapes, picking out one at random can destroy one's unreliable determination.

...Haha, the so-called growth is indeed the most difficult thing in this world.

Zuo Wu looked at his raised hand again, the thumb and middle finger together weighed more than a thousand catties.

But the snapping of fingers that finally popped up symbolizing the end of the script was so light.

Only a "click" was heard.

wake up. (end of this chapter)
