Chapter 470 I have made up my mind
"No, Your Majesty! The front line is too dangerous!"
As soon as Zhou Xu said these words, all the courtiers below spoke out to stop him.
In the past, when they were still a tribe in Dazhou, their leader led the tribe's warriors around to hunt and fight, and they didn't think there was any problem.
But with the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the changes in the internal system, and some of the changes in thinking that Teacher Wang Dongwang brought to them in daily life, their current ideas are naturally very different from before.
In the eyes of today's ministers, for the sake of the stability of their great Zhou Dynasty, their king must not be allowed to take risks easily.
Once something happens to the king, it will be a disaster for them, Great Zhou!
The threat from the lizardmen as opponents this time is huge. Doesn’t Zhou Xu know that this decision involves taking a lot of risks?
He also knew that if something happened to him, everything would be over.
If everything has to be done by himself, then why does he want to be the king and have so many subordinates? A freeloader?
But the problem is that he himself is an important part of their Great Zhou's combat power. If he doesn't go to the front line, their Great Zhou's combat power cannot be said to have been exerted 100%.
At this stage, the situation on the front line is obviously not good. Instead of pinning all his hopes on the rat people who still don’t know what the situation is, and betting on luck, Zhou Xu prefers to take the initiative In your own hands!
“I have made up my mind, you don’t need to say any more!”
While speaking, Zhou Xu gave Wang Pengfei, who was standing aside, a look.
Wang Pengfei understood immediately and shouted at the top of his voice...
"The king withdraws from the court——"
After shouting, he hurriedly followed Zhou Xu who had turned around and left, leaving behind the ministers with messy faces, still busy discussing matters. In the palace, I don’t know what to do.
Looking back at Zhou Xu, after leaving the meeting hall, his steps gradually accelerated, making Wang Pengfei who was following behind feel a little strenuous.
Maintaining the pace of a race, Zhou Xu returned to his office, and then directly reviewed the documents piled on his desk.
Since he decided to lead the troops on an expedition when the energy channel opens next time, he must seize the time to do all the work that needs to be done and the follow-up arrangements that need to be made.
During this period, Wang Pengfei, who was waiting next to him, looked constipated the whole time. He obviously had something to say, but seeing that Zhou Xu was busy handling official duties, he did not dare to disturb him.
Zhou Xu, who noticed his slight movement, glanced at the other party.
“Just tell me if you have anything to say.”
Wang Pengfei suddenly felt as if he had been granted amnesty, and then asked cautiously...
“Your Majesty, do you really plan to lead the troops in person? To the front?”
After hearing this, Zhou Xu, who probably knew Wang Pengfei's situation, let out a chuckle, and looked at him with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"I think you want to know if you want to go to the front line with me, right?"
Wang Pengfei smiled awkwardly when Zhou Xu saw through his little thoughts. He smiled, but he didn't show much fear. Compared with when he first arrived, the whole state was much more relaxed.
Obviously, after this period of time, Wang Pengfei has become basically familiar with Zhou Xu, which also made him realize that Zhou Xu is not as difficult to get along with as he initially expected, and can even be said to be very easy-going. .
At the same time, it also gave him the opportunity to observe their king from a closer distance.
To be honest, if he were the king, he would definitely do whatever he wanted, play songs every night, and do all the things he wanted to do but didn't dare to do before.
This is probably a bad trait revealed by people who have been in the repressive environment of modern society for a long time.
But he could not see this at all in Zhou Xu.
Not to mention doing whatever he wants, his daily schedule is more regular than that of office workers before time travel, and he handles various tasks with no ambiguity and diligence.
In ancient China, there was a high probability that he would become a wise monarch who would be famous throughout the ages. When future generations talked about history, they would have to praise him a few times.
This also made Wang Pengfei, who had been watching, feel more admiration for Zhou Xu.
Sometimes you will show some bad taste, or a bit bad character, for example now...
"You are my personal attendant, how can I have less love around me?" Of course you have to come with me."
Zhou Xu blinked his eyes and said these words in a matter-of-fact manner, which made Wang Pengfei's whole face burst into tears. "Your Majesty, can I not go?"
"No."
Zhou Xu dismissed it without even thinking.
It's not that he deliberately made things difficult for Wang Pengfei, but as a personal follower who can read and write, Wang Pengfei does have an irreplaceable special status with him at this stage.
When he reaches the front line, he will definitely have to deal with some affairs. With Wang Pengfei beside him, he can save a lot of things.
During this period, Wang Pengfei, who didn't think so much, was really on the verge of tears, but he obviously hadn't given up yet, so he suddenly thought and started to change his strategy.
"The front line is so dangerous, so why do you, my king, need to go there in person? At worst, you can just send a general there. I think Lieutenant Shi Lei is a good fit."
After all, he has always been with Zhou Xu, so he has no idea about the situation on the front line. , Wang Pengfei also knew a lot, and knew that the next battlefield should be concentrated in the rainforest environment.
As a general in charge of the mountainous area, it is undoubtedly a good choice for Shi Lei to lead his mountain soldiers into the battle.
However, Zhou Xu shook his head at his proposal.
“If Shi Lei is transferred there, then there will be no one on the other side of the mountain. Once something goes wrong, we will have to face the dilemma of being attacked from both sides.”
"Not to mention the current situation, it's not something that can be solved by sending Shi Lei over. I can't do it without going."
In terms of strategic value alone, Shi Lei can't compare with him.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu's eyes fell on Wang Pengfei.
"And once the front line is defeated, can we escape by hiding behind you? When the lizardman army attacks, we will all be finished. We can only face this battle, not escape it. "
Wang Pengfei couldn't understand Zhou Xu's words, but he still couldn't understand why Zhou Xu could make such a life-threatening decision so lightly, without even hesitating. of.
Taking this opportunity, he simply asked all the questions he had been holding back for a long time.
"I think your Majesty is really strange. You don't seem to be afraid of death at all. Apart from this, you are working harder than those office workers every day. What is this for? Now that you have become the king, don’t you intend to indulge? Don’t you have any desires?”
Faced with these questions, Zhou Xu looked calm.
“It’s not that I’m not afraid of death, but it’s useless to be afraid. There’s no need to show it. I never slack off in handling affairs every day. Even this time I went to the front line. To be honest, I just want to live a better life. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Xu’s voice paused.
"As for desire|desire..."
Zhou Xu looked at Wang Pengfei when he mentioned this word, with an expression that was half a smile but not a smile...
"If you are It refers to things like sleeping until you wake up naturally every day, and looking for women when you have enough food and drink. I really am not that interested in these things. I have something I want more."
"What? "
Following Zhou Xu's words, Wang Pengfei asked subconsciously.
Zhou Xu listened and uttered two words lightly.
"The world."
At this moment, those two extremely calm words were like a thunder exploding in Wang Pengfei's ears, making his brain go blank for an instant.
When their eyes met, he had never felt it so clearly as now. From Zhou Xu's pair of black, almost deep pupils, it was almost overflowing, wanting to be unified. The ambition of the world!
At this moment, Zhou Xu looked like a monster ready to roar into the world at any time!
Where is this sage and monarch without desires? This is simply a careerist who completely explodes after getting an opportunity! !
