Human, am I evil?

He didn't know what function this beautiful gemstone had, but he had a strong desire to get it, as long as he got it... he would be different.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help swallowing, but in the end he resisted the temptation and didn't agree to Di Ruiji's request immediately.

"What do you... want to do? My loyalty means nothing to you, right? What do you want to do?"

"What do you want to do? End this senseless war. That's all I want."

Di Ruiji expressed his thoughts without concealment, the battle between the Coral Palace and the shogunate was meaningless.

"The eye hunting order has been abolished, and the rebel army has no legitimate reason to fight with the shogunate's army. If this continues, everyone in your Coral Palace will be charged with [treason]. When General Raiden finds time, she may personally Against the rebels. Do you think that with the strength of the rebels, they can resist General Raiden?"

The reason why the rebel army can still jump is entirely because General Lei Dian did not make a move. Once General Lei Dian comes to the battlefield in person, how long can the rebel army hold on?

No matter how smart that Coral Palace Xinhai is, can she resist absolute power?Just kidding, even Orobus, who once believed in it, couldn't resist the sword of General Thunder. Why do mortals think they can resist it?

"...Is that really the case? You...do you really want this war to end?"

In fact, Zheping also felt that there was no need to continue the war. Since the war started, Haizhi Island had suffered quite serious losses.

Although life in Haizhi Island was relatively difficult before, everyone had a good life, and everyone worked hard to live.

But with the advent of the war, the atmosphere on Haizhi Island became extremely tense, the smiles on people's faces disappeared, and everyone was worried.

He had seen the scene of the family members crying bitterly when the news of the comrades who died on the front line was sent back to Haizhi Island. The brothers of the other rebels would often arouse hatred because of these dead people, and they expressed that they would let the shogunate The samurai paid the price.

Although this kind of momentum is very good, Zhe Ping is terrified. Now the young people of Haizhi Island are about to go to the battlefield. If they are all dead, will Haizhi Island have a future?

"The only purpose is to end this meaningless battle. You don't want to see the people who were still talking to you yesterday, and there are cold tombstones?"

"In your heart, is it more important to make contributions or to be a partner on Haizhidao. Tell me your answer."

Di Ruiji untied Zheping's rope, and because the effect of the medicine hadn't passed, he collapsed directly on the ground, barely able to prop up his body, and looked at Di Ruiji in front of him.

Di Ruiji watched him, stretched out the hand holding the magic orb to him, and waited for his answer to see how he would choose.

"If you choose to be loyal, you will conflict with the ideas of many partners in the rebel army." Ying who was standing behind said suddenly, "At that time, they may regard you as a traitor and drive you out of Haizhi Island. Is it okay that you won't have another chance to make a difference?"

"...It doesn't matter, compared to my bad things, partners are the most important."

Zhe Ping smiled and said: "In the past, I could only make some contributions to everyone in the logistics. Later, when I finally went to the battlefield, I thought it was time for me to make contributions, but I fell into the trap of fools. Although I already knew about this matter , but there are still many brothers who don't know. They are still using that kind of thing, and their lives are still passing by a little bit, I... don't allow this kind of thing to happen."

"You are right. Now that the eye hunting order has been cancelled, there is no point in continuing to fight. I... will go to Lord Coral Palace and tell her to stop fighting, and stop letting my brothers continue to sacrifice."

Zhe Ping forced himself to half kneel on the ground, put his hands in front of him, and looked up at Di Ruiji: "If...if the allegiance of such an insignificant person as me can really change everything, then...I will pledge my allegiance to Di Ruiji. You, my lord."

"...very good."

Di Ruiji nodded in satisfaction, and Ying smiled appreciatively.

She didn't expect that a random captive would have such an awareness. Ying wanted to become a good brother with him and teach him how to fight so that he could stand out.

"Next, is the last test. If you can hold on, then your future will be greatly changed. If you can't, then your situation may become worse. Come on, let me see how you protect those How strong is a person's determination."

After finishing speaking, Di Ruiji let go of the magic orb in his hand, and the magic orb slowly flew to Zheping's chest and merged into his body.

This is a trial. For the trial of Zheping's awakening, if his determination is really that strong, then the trial of fusing the magic orb will not be difficult for him.

This is a rather painful process, but Ying and Di Ruiji believe that he can make it through, he... can do it.

Soon, Shen He and Paimeng, who were in charge of keeping watch outside, heard a very strong wailing sound. Paimeng thought the sound was from torture, and he was so frightened that he couldn't help shaking. Only Shen He saw something.

------------

That afternoon, at the headquarters of the Rebel Army on Haizhi Island, the soldiers in charge of the garrison saw a few figures approaching and were preparing to take precautions. When they saw the leader, they quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're back, Zheping. Seriously, why did you go out for so long this time? I thought you were attacked by a samurai from the shogunate."

"Hahaha~ I'm sorry to make you worry. I haven't encountered any trouble. Now I can take down several samurai of the shogunate alone. The situation you are worried about will never happen."

"Okay, okay, I see. Really, I have heard you say this all the time. I have heard that Lord Coral Palace is going to let you be the captain of a brand new special operations team——[Herring [-] Fan Team], you finally made a name for yourself.”

Zhe Ping had told his comrades in arms more than once that he wanted to make contributions. He had no ability in the past, so he could only listen to these words.

Although they didn't know how he suddenly became so powerful, they were also very happy to see his current achievements.

"If there is a chance, we have to celebrate it. Remember to ask us for a drink. At that time, we will entertain you well."

"sure."

The two sides chatted for a while, and then he looked at the blond girl behind Zhe Ping and the strange little man beside her.

If Zhe Ping hadn't brought them here, he would have wondered if this person came from the shogunate.

"Who are they? Zheping."

"Oh, I met them at the famous cone stand. They are also people who can't understand the behavior of the shogunate. They want to join the rebel army and help us fight against the foreigners of the shogunate."

There were also many foreigners in the rebel army. Hearing that Ying came from another country, the soldier's suspicion was a little less.

He asked Zhe Ping if these two people were trustworthy, and Zhe Ping said that he didn't know the situation yet, but he would be responsible for watching them and confirming whether they were trustworthy.

"I'm going to take them to Lord Coral Palace, is she still there, Lord Coral Palace?"

"Well, Master Coral Palace is working, you go over."

Although he was a little worried, it was impossible for the little girls to have any bad influence, so he let it pass.

Zhe Ping easily led Ying and Paimeng through the checkpoint. There were still a few soldiers guarding in front of them. Under Zhe Ping's explanation, they had no intention of blocking Ying.

Zhe Ping breathed a sigh of relief when there was no one else around. This was the first time he had lied to his comrades in arms. This feeling was quite strange, and I hope it will not happen again in the future.

"Come with me, and I will take you to meet Lord Coral Palace. I believe that with the wisdom of Lord Coral Palace, she will understand how to choose."

In order to avoid being discovered by the rebels, Di Ruiji and Shen He stayed in the Dust Song Pot for the time being, and came out when they saw Coral Palace Xinhai.

Capture the thief first and capture the king first. As the supreme leader of the rebel army, if you finish the work in Coral Palace Xinhai first, other things will be much easier.

Zhe Ping was not very willing at first, but he was reluctant to bring everyone here after he was sure that he would not hurt Xinhai of Coral Palace.

The environment of the Coral Palace is very beautiful, like a fairyland. The location of the Coral Palace they are looking for is obvious. It is in a building with huge shells, and she works there.

Through Zheping, a group of people can easily enter the house, and see Coral Palace Xinhai who is reading the information, and the other party is a very beautiful girl.

The moment she saw the other party, Ying began to tremble unnaturally.

Seeing this, Paimon sighed, she knew that Ying was going to fall ill again.

Volume 252: [-]: Capture the Thief First, Capture the King

Coral Palace Xinhai, Haizhi Island's [Present Human Goddess], is also the supreme ruler of Haizhi Island.

Coral Palace is widely regarded as a resourceful and unfathomable leader.Because she always has a quiet smile on her face, and she arranges all the affairs in an orderly manner while talking and laughing.

The reason why Haizhidao was able to turn the crisis into safety many times without superior manpower and material resources was entirely due to the various tactics she arranged.

In addition, she also strives to do her best in internal affairs, business affairs, diplomacy, and prosecution. Such achievements have made her deeply trusted by various forces on Haizhi Island.

Such a person is actually just a young girl, and she is also a pretty beautiful girl, at least when Ying saw her, she was a little lost for a while.

Coral Palace Xinhai, who was working, noticed Zhe Ping's arrival and nodded to him: "You are back, Zhe Ping. Thank you for your hard work. You have performed very well during this time. The team's uniforms are currently being urgently produced. It will probably be done in a few days.”

"Really? Thank you so much, Lord Coral Palace."

Coral Palace Xinhai shook her head, indicating that it was not a big deal, then noticed Ying and Paimon beside him, and asked doubtfully, "Who are they?"

"Oh, they are foreigners. They heard about Haiji Island and the shogunate and wanted to come to help. She is very powerful and can use the power of elements without the help of the eye of God. I think she is one of the few The one who got it, brought her here."

"Oh? Is that so? Can you use the power of elements without using the eye of God?"

This is really rare. Coral Palace Xinhai has never heard of such a thing, so she couldn't help but become a little interested in Ying.

"Hi, I'm Coral Palace Xinhai, the organizer of the rebel army, and the [Present Human Goddess] of Haizhi Island. I'm glad you joined."

Coral Palace Xinhai briefly introduced herself, and suddenly thought of something, carefully looked at Ying's face, showing a dazed expression.

"I once heard from Beidou and Manyo that they brought people from Liyue to Daozuma. Could it be you who they were talking about?"

"Oh? I didn't expect you to have seen Big Dipper and Manyo. You are right. I came to Inazuma on the boat of Big Sister."

"That's it, then I'm relieved."

Haizhidao has cooperated with Beidou in many aspects. Since it is someone Beidou knows, its credibility should be higher.

At present, the rebel army is short of talents. Although they are somewhat worried about them, there are so many people who promise that Coral Palace Xinhai should trust her a little bit.

"Hello, Miss Coral Palace. In fact, I have a very powerful magic weapon here, which I obtained from the immortal when I was in Liyue."

"Oh? A magic weapon obtained from a fairy?"

Coral Palace Xinhai became interested. She has read many books and learned about Liyue's affairs, among which there are naturally many legends about immortals.

I didn't expect them to have such an adventure, not only met the immortal, but also obtained the treasure from the immortal, which is really amazing.

"What kind of treasure is that? What's the use?"

"Hehe~ that's it." Ying took out the dust song pot and said, "Don't look at it as a small teapot on the outside, but it was made by a fairy, and there is a big cave inside. With this thing , no matter how many things you want to hold, there is no problem.”

"Oh, really?"

The transportation of goods is also very important. If what Ying said is true, then Haizhi Island will not need to worry about the transportation of materials in the future.

"Can you let me have a look? I'm very curious about what Liyue Immortal's magic weapon is like."

"Of course it's okay, I was going to let you see it."

That's right, in order to give you a big surprise, she has been preparing all the time. Since you are so cooperative, Ying will naturally not disappoint Coral Palace Xinhai's expectations.

Under the gaze of Coral Palace Xinhai, the Dust Song Pot started to operate, and the surrounding space began to distort, and something was appearing from inside the Dust Song Pot.

Eh?Instead of sucking them in, let them out?How is this going?

Soon, Coral Palace Xinhai saw Di Ruiji and Shen He appearing from the Dust Song Pot. She was stunned for a moment, and soon realized something, stood up from her position, and put on a fighting stance.

But before she could take any action, a spear, a sharp sword, and a scythe were hung around her neck. As long as she didn't cooperate a little bit, there would be a little bruise on her fair neck. scars.

"Wait...wait a minute, my lord! This is not the same as what we agreed, didn't you say that you would not hurt Lord Coral Palace?"

Zhe Ping was a little surprised and said, didn't they agree that they would not hurt Coral Palace Xinhai?Why do you have the posture to kill her now?

"I remember my promise, Zheping. But if she doesn't cooperate and let the situation develop in a bad direction, then I can't guarantee whether I can keep it."

Di Ruiji looked at Zhe Ping as if he didn't continue to talk to him, and focused on Shan Shan Gong Xinhai who was pretending to be calm.

"We just want to have a good chat with you this time, and we have no other ideas. If you want to resist, it doesn't matter if you call in the soldiers outside. As long as you think that all those people are dead, it may even affect the people living in the city. Ordinary people in Coral Palace, you can do that."

Coral Palace Xinhai's pupils shrank, it was threatening her, it must be threatening her!Damn it, it's so hateful, she has already spoken to this extent, what else can she say?

To capture the thief first, to capture the king, and to run in front of her, the leader, when everyone is not paying attention, is really a good strategy and a good method.

She looked at the restless Zheping. Judging from what she said just now, Zheping should also be a helper. He called Di Ruiji "Master". Could it be that... Zheping took refuge in him?

But why?Although Zheping has only recently performed well, she remembers that Zheping is also a resident of Haizhi Island, and he will never become a member of the shogunate army. Why did he choose to betray?

"...I hope you will do well." Coral Palace Xinhai took a deep breath and sat back in her seat.

There are too many unknown things, let's see what these people are going to say first, collect clues during the conversation, and see the situation.

Seeing how cooperative she was, everyone also put away their weapons, ready to start the next conversation.

"I came to see you this time to ask you why the rebels are still fighting the shogunate."

Di Ruiji said solemnly: "The eye hunting order has been abolished, and the shogunate is undergoing reforms. If there is no accident, Tianling Fengxing and General Lei Dian will soon stop. But you Haizhi Island has no such plan at all. This is Why? Are you ready to treason?"

"...I know that the eye hunting order has been abolished, and many people in the rebel army know about it. Those who fled here because of the eye hunting order in the rebel army before, also left after knowing this. defeated the rebels and returned to Narugami Island."

Coral Palace Xinhai sighed a little tiredly: "Continuing on like this, the situation on Haizhi Island will only get worse. But... the voices of the rebel army to continue fighting are too loud, and the other forces in Coral Palace are not prepared Stop now. With such strong public opinion, there is no way to stop.”

"The power of the Coral Palace? Aren't you the leader of Haizhi Island? The people under your orders won't listen?"

Ying asked puzzledly, along the way, the words she heard most were related to Xinhai in the Coral Palace. She should have a great reputation among the rebel army.

Take Zheping as an example, he is very willing to listen to Coral Palace Xinhai's words. Although he is somewhat dissatisfied with the truce, he is still willing to accept this result in order to prevent the number of casualties from increasing.

"In normal times, they would naturally listen, but with the fighting between the rebel army and the shogunate army, the soldiers' anger towards the shogunate army has reached an irreconcilable level. Even if I want to make peace with the shogunate, this side will Some people do not agree. The most obvious ones are the forces in the Coral Palace. In order to prevent my decision, they may send people to attack me and pretend to be an assassination by the shogunate army, so as to arouse the anger of the rebel army and make the war more unstoppable .”

She is not like General Thunderbolt, she does not have strong power, the reason why she became the leader of the Coral Palace is only because of her status as the [Goddess Maiden], and at the same time, those forces need someone to lead Haizhi Island in the front, if she does No, those people also have ways to deal with themselves.

Under such circumstances, Coral Palace Xinhai can only continue the war, and try to end this unnecessary war through other means.

"The power of the Coral Palace, I know. Then the next question, do you know the situation within the rebel army recently? The rebel army, which was originally suppressed by the samurai of the shogunate, suddenly increased in strength and defeated the samurai of the shogunate. , do you know about this?"

"Well, I know. This situation is obvious, and Zheping is also one of these people."
