I, Kiriko, the Cheater

The space in this hall is not large, only about a few tens of square meters. It can be seen that this should be the place where the leader prays and prays privately.

The decoration in the hall is in the style of Anning Dao. In the center of the hall stands a tall statue. The statue of Anning Dao that believers usually carry is a hand-made version of this statue.

In front of the statue, a tall man was praying. He was wearing a black cloak, and his long silver hair flowed down like a waterfall, but because his back was facing Tongzi, he couldn't see what he looked like.

The guard stood at the door and saluted respectfully: "My lord."

"What's the matter?"

The sound is soft and very neutral.But there is a strange magic power in this voice, it seems that as long as hearing this voice, no matter how irritable and irritable people are, they will also feel calm and peaceful.

"There is a girl who is a believer, because she admired the leader, she came here from the imperial capital for thousands of miles, and asked to see the leader."

"Let her come over."

"Yes." The guard said to Tongzi in a low voice, "That's the leader, you heard it too, go over, but don't be rude to the leader."

After the guard finished speaking, he saluted the leader again and left.

Tongzi stood where she was, not even understanding the situation for a moment.

This leader's heart is too big, not only is his back facing him, there are no guards in this hall, so he is really not afraid of assassination?

Or, he himself is super strong, and he is not worried that someone will endanger his life?

Perhaps because he didn't hear the footsteps of Tongzi approaching, the leader who was facing the statue turned around so that Tongzi could see his face clearly.

This is a very handsome face, which can even make people feel that the painted woman insists on being a man. If it is not for the figure of the leader, even among the adult males in the empire, he looks a bit tall, so many people will definitely think that he is a woman.

Tongzi looked at the leader, and the leader also looked at Tongzi. For a while, neither of them spoke.

After a long time, the leader said, "Who are you?"

Tongzi said: "Just like what the person just said, I came from the imperial capital because I admire the leader."

"No, you are not an ordinary believer."

"..."

"I have the ability to see through people's hearts and predict the future. You don't have the color of peace in your heart, and you don't even have the most basic lines. So, who are you?"

See through people's hearts?Predict future?

Does the leader of the Tao of Peace have omniscient and omnipotent stars and clairvoyance at the same time?

"You just said that you have the ability to predict the future? Then you should know who I am."

However, to Tongzi's surprise, the leader shook his head.

"What I can see is only a corner of the fuzzy future, and that is also the past tense."

"Past tense?"

"Yes, the future I saw in the past was that this country would fall into endless darkness...but just now, when you appeared in front of me, the future I saw...has changed."

"What do you see?"

"bright?"

Tongzi looked up and saw the hot sun outside, the dazzling sunlight shining in through the stained glass on the top of the building, then looked at the leader of Anning Road again and said: "Sometimes too much lighting is not a good thing, the light is too dazzling It's not good for people's eyes."

The leader laughed, but even a smile gave people a very healing feeling: "You are very interesting."

"That's the end of the joke. Now that you know it, although not all of it, then I won't beat around the bush. In fact, I didn't intend to hide it. To tell you the truth, I am the current ruler of the empire."

The teacher's gentle expression, like a spring breeze, finally changed: "Are you the princess who will succeed the little emperor?"

"Exactly."

"..."

"Since you are the leader of Anning Dao, you must also be a smart person. Yes, just as you think, I already know about your plans to rebel in Anning Dao."

"Then what is your Highness planning to do, kill me here?"

The leader laughed again. Logically speaking, if a man smiles, it should make people feel the reliability and solidity of his father or brother, but when this leader smiles, it will make people feel the tenderness of his mother. .

"That's right, I'm the leader of Anning Dao. If you kill me here and put an easy-to-manipulate puppet in power, Anning Dao will transform itself into a tool for you to rule the people."

Tongzi shook her head: "If conditions permit, I don't want to kill you. As long as you agree to maintain the status quo, I will not touch An Ningdao."

"The teaching of An Ning Dao is peace and tranquility. Whether you admit it or not, nine out of ten (sensitive word) sufferings in a person's life have a faith sustenance, a channel to confide and vent. It’s not a bad thing—of course, the premise is that An Ningdao can abide by his duty and not interfere with the world.”

"In exchange, I will clean up the moths of the empire, eradicate the corruption of the empire, and make the empire great again."

……

In this way, Tongzi and the leader reached a consensus.

The leader created Tranquility Tao with one hand, hoping to bring some salvation to people living in darkness, and he was preparing to rebel because he felt that no matter how he tried to save the hearts and minds of the believers, he could not really save the believers.

Because the Empire doesn't treat its people as human beings, that Minister Ornest will only do his best to extract the last copper coins from the believers.

Therefore, for the happiness and future of believers, the leader chose the path of rebellion.

But now, the appearance of Tongzi made him see a different light, and he decided to believe in Tongzi.

And before Tongzi came, he also learned about the personality of the leader through the information provided by the spies.
