The Villains All Fell in Love with Me After Rebirth: 23. Encounter
I was successfully slapped in the face in my last life, and during this period of time I was grounded at home—Jing Sui promised not to punish himself on the condition that Grand Duke Ji Ting must discipline himself, so Grand Duke Ji Ting had to ground Ji Ling as a punishment The confession of His Majesty the Enraged Emperor.
Although he has not been banned in this life, Ji Ling is not in the mood to go out at all.
He stays at home every day, and checks the news on the Internet all day long.
Not to mention, he actually saw some exciting news. He thought that Jing Sui would protect him a lot after his rebirth, and he was still a hero to save the beauty in the duel field. This life and Ning Yu's direction may be different... ...Shouldn't let the media continue to hype the scandal between him and Ning Yu, but to Ji Ling's surprise, this incident happened again as usual!
Besides, the overwhelming scandal feels even worse than the previous life...
If you say that no one is pushing him behind the scenes, he won't believe it!
This made Ji Ling a little confused and uncertain about Jing Sui's attitude. It stands to reason that Jing Sui would not do this. Didn't he show that he cared about his feelings before? Is there a problem with my previous guess? Jing Sui actually still likes Ning Yu?
Ji Ling was very pleasantly surprised by this idea, as if he was saved from a desperate situation. He never expected that Jing Sui would still be willing to follow the plot after being reborn! And the frying is more serious than before!
It seems that he still does not give up using his relationship with Ning Yu to win people's hearts. After all, for an emperor like him, compared with his grand plans and great achievements, what is a little guilt for a small cannon fodder like himself? He has always been a rational person, no matter how you look at it, it is more beneficial for him to be with Ning Yu.
If you think about it this way, things are not that bad!
Ji Ling looks happily every day at the online navy hype about Jing Sui and Ning Yu's scandal. This is simply food for his mind. The vest went to help out and shout.
But before he was happy for a few days, another major event that shocked the whole country happened! It made him forget to pay attention to the scandal between Jing Sui and Ning Yu.
In the first parliamentary proposal after Wen Yan was elected as the speaker, Jing Sui proposed to reduce the price of the gene evolution agent, which was passed without any hindrance! According to the content of the proposal, within three years, the price of the primary genetic evolution agent will be reduced by a hundred times, and it will be provided to every administrative planet under the jurisdiction of the empire!
That is to say, the expensive genetic evolution agent that was once difficult for countless civilians to afford throughout their lives will become a standing item that anyone can obtain through hard work in the near future.
Even if only the lowest level of ordinary gene evolution agent passed this time, it is still a big event for countless common people to celebrate! This means a stronger body and a longer lifespan!
And the low-level ones are open, will the high-level ones be far behind? Everyone is full of hope.
Jing Sui's reputation suddenly reached the peak, and the Internet is full of grateful voices. Anyone who dares to say a word about him will be attacked by countless people!
His Majesty fulfilled his promise and really opened up the genetic evolution agent that was completely in the hands of the nobles before!
The nobles who were dissatisfied with this were all too afraid to speak out due to the terrible public opinion.
Compared with this incident, the scandal between Jing Sui and Ning Yu has become insignificant. After all, it is only about Ning Yu, and the focus is on the people who eat melons; but this is actually changing the entire empire. The things that have benefited countless people and are related to everyone are enough to be recorded in the annals of history and change the pattern of the empire.
Even Ji Ling could see the far-reaching impact of this incident on the empire.
Countless nobles are secretly gnashing their teeth.
But what really shocked him was not the huge influence of this matter, but the fact that Jing Sui's proposal in the last life was rejected and not passed!
Wen Yan and Carlos colluded to control the majority of the seats in the parliament. As the speaker of the common people, Wen Yan turned his back on the front line, causing Jing Sui's proposal to be rejected. Jing Sui was scolded for a long time because of this, and everyone said he was a hypocrite The emperor, the so-called proposal is just for show.
Although Ji Ling knew that the protagonist would win in the end, the collusion between Wen Yan and Carlos did cause Jing Sui a lot of trouble.
But this time - Jing Sui succeeded!
This means that Wen Yan not only broke up with Carlos, but even stood on Jing Sui's side.
How is this possible? !
Wen Yan is indeed an unreliable double-faced...
Ji Ling paced back and forth in the room, frowning tightly. The change of this incident disturbed him even more than Jing Sui's rebirth, because this is no longer a matter of petty love, but about the whole world The big deal of the process.
Although this is a good thing for this world, the deviation from the plot is too serious, and it has changed the direction of the whole world.
Ji Ling nervously asked the system: [What do you think of this matter? 】
The system is also nervous this time, so I didn't dare to be careless, and said seriously: [I want to go back to the headquarters to find out the situation, it doesn't matter if you stay here alone during this time? 】
Ji Ling: 【What kind of talk is this? It sounds like it would be of some use if you stayed here. 】
System: 【……】
Ji Ling: [Remember to ask me about the rebirth. 】
System: 【……】
Although Ji Ling always seems to be unfriendly to him, the system decided not to care about him generously, he is a measured system.
……………
Because of this extremely important change, Ji Ling pays close attention to the outside world every day.
Jing Sui teamed up with Wen Yan to defeat Carlos ahead of schedule this time. How would Carlos react? Or did he expect it?
After all, Wen Yan probably broke up with him since the last general election.
Speaking of which, he hasn't seen the old Carlos for some days, and Wen Yan hasn't appeared in front of him recently, which makes him a little more relaxed.
Besides, Ji Ling knew that another major event would happen in a few days.
The news of the Zerg invasion of the Naduo galaxy will come soon, because this time there are two Zerg empresses leading the team, so Jing Sui will personally march, and Ning Yu will once again shine in this battle , and establishing a relationship with Jing Sui is an important plot in the original book.
In that battle, he accidentally saved Brandon. I also experienced the most dangerous danger on the way back.
But now all of this has become an unknown. Ji Ling is also hesitant to follow the past like the previous life. After all, many people and things have changed.
On this day, he suddenly received an invitation from Deng Dong.
Speaking of which, since the last time I kidnapped Ning Yu together with Deng Dong, and I was sure that Deng Dong's life was not in danger, I never contacted him again, but was busy with my own affairs... This made Ji Ling a little embarrassed , as if he was just using him.
Being compensatory, and because staying at home all day is indeed a bit boring, Ji Ling agreed to Deng Dong's invitation and decided to go out to get some air.
Probably learned a lesson last time, this time Deng Dong didn't ask Ji Ling to go to some messy place, but invited him to attend the banquet at Earl Gerald's house.
The Earl Gerrard family is also a veteran nobleman of the empire. The family is very rich, because the unique crystal produced by one of the energy planets he owns is one of the main raw materials for the production of genetic evolution agents. The super factory provides a large number of raw materials for the production of genetic evolution agents.
Earl Gerald not only holds important resources in his hands, he is also a man of both sides. He often holds various banquets in his home, and he is very popular on the Emperor Star.
When Ji Ling went, he found that Deng Dong had been waiting there. To his surprise, Ross was there.
Deng Dong looked at him excitedly, and ran over like a dog's leg: "Ji Shao, you are finally here."
Roz followed behind, like an abandoned concubine who fell out of favor, showing a stiff smile: "Young Master Ji."
Ji Ling saw that his new and old loves were all here - he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
Hehe, compared to the group of terrifying bosses who were reborn, although this group of puppies are a little bit worse, their appearance is a little bit rough, and their personality is a bit wretched, but at least it makes him get along easily and won't be afraid. Be careful to expose your stuffing.
Ling had attended many such banquets in the last century, and he was very comfortable, just eating, drinking and gossiping together.
Well, you can still have sex, but Ji Ling has always excluded this recreational activity that is very popular among the nobles of the empire.
Deng Dong's injury is obviously healed. He is a typical character who forgets to eat and not to beat. He doesn't blame Ji Ling's bad idea for getting him beaten. On the contrary, he never forgets Ji Ling's behavior of defending him , I am grateful to Dade, I can't wait to make Ji Ling's brains go to pieces! Don't be so nice to him.
Because Carlos warned Ross before, he didn't dare to come out to hang out with Ji Ling. Who knew that he didn't show up for a while, and the first dogleg position next to Ji Ling was occupied by Deng Dong, who was not on the stage. I felt sour in my heart, and I was also jealous secretly, insisting that I was the old man next to Ji Ling, and made all kinds of cynicism and ridicule towards Deng Dong.
Although this corner is relatively remote, the intrigue is so intense.
Ji Ling rubbed his forehead, looked outside, as if he didn't see anything.
Fortunately, Deng Dong is a thick-skinned person. Although he vaguely felt that Ross's attitude was weird, as if he was targeting himself, he didn't take it to heart. He thought that Ross had always spoken in this way. All of his attention was on Ji Ling, and he suddenly gossiped with him nervously in a low voice, saying, "Young Master Ji, do you know? Not long ago, another gene evolution agent library was robbed."
Ji Ling raised his eyebrows, and finally showed some interested eyes.
You must know that the gene evolution agent is the foundation for the survival of the empire, and it is the most important thing for the imperial nobles. Every gene evolution agent library is guarded by heavy soldiers from the empire. Impossible, any act of snatching or smuggling genetic evolution agents is a capital offense! The gene evolution agent library was robbed, as far as Ji Ling knew, there was only one possibility...
Sure enough, Deng Dong continued: "Not long after the results of this proposal came out, the genetic evolution agent library of Saka Star was looted by the rebels, and even the SS-level evolutionary lord who was guarding the local area was also robbed by the rebels. Commander Gabriel was killed. It is said that none of the imperial nobles and soldiers present at the time were spared, and blood flowed like a river..."
When he said this, there was a look of fear in his eyes.
Gabriel, the mysterious leader of the rebel army, is the only civilian evolutionary who can make the nobles of the empire fearful and even unwilling to mention his name.
In the eyes of these high-ranking imperial nobles, any commoner, even an SS-level evolutionary, or a commoner idol like Ning Yu, no matter how strong they are, they will not be taken seriously by them. Even if they are in the limelight for a while, in front of the powerful imperial nobles, the so-called civilian evolutionists are ultimately only used by them, driven by them, and obey the rules they set.
Even a national idol like Ning Yu, a rising star, can be contemptuously humiliated by dandies like Ross. The higher races will not really respect them from the bottom of their hearts just because there is a slightly stronger person from the lower races.
But Gabriel is different, he is the only exception.
Nor does he need the respect of the imperial nobles, for he scares them.
No one knows his appearance, identity, or even his real name. Every time he appears, he wears a silver mask, and his traces are mysterious... But every time he appears, the nobles of the empire can't wait to get rid of him. Hate and fear, helpless.
The reason is because he is so powerful that the empire is helpless.
As a commoner, he has the strength of an SSS-level evolutionary... You must know that among the nobles of the entire empire, only Brandon and Jing Sui have SSS-level strength on the surface!
An evolutionary of this strength is an existence that can tear mechs and warships with bare hands... It is almost the same as the myth in Ji Ling's impression.
Although it seems to be only one level higher than the SS level, the gap in strength is vastly different. It refers to a super strength that can hardly be measured by data.
Jing Sui is the royal family of the empire, and Brandon is the nobleman of the empire. They have noble blood and rich resources, but for many years, the empire has only had two such strong men.
As for that mysterious Gabriel, no one knows his identity, only that he should be a commoner, yet he can possess such strength by himself.
Ji Ling thought, maybe this is the real reason why Jing Sui was really afraid of the rebels and determined to change the status quo.
No matter how many weak people there are, they don't pay attention to them, but one strong man like Gabriel is enough to cause headaches for the empire. As long as he didn't come to Emperor Star with his head in water to die or expose his identity, he could come and go freely in any other place. His hands were stained with the blood of nobles, which made countless nobles of the empire fear.
Jing Sui and Brandon can kill him, but as Jing Sui and Brandon, it is impossible to condescend to go all over the world to hunt down a fugitive with mysterious whereabouts.
A few destructive weapons can kill him, but Gabriel is very cunning and smart, never stays in one place for too long, and never gives others the opportunity to use destructive weapons, so that people are helpless.
His birth indicated that there was a loophole in the empire's previous ruling model, and such an uncontrollable powerhouse could be born among the common people.
It is so powerful that the entire empire is helpless.
There's only one now...but what if there are two, three, four in the future?
For Jing Sui, Gabriel himself may not be that scary. Those who dare to appear on Emperor Star or reveal their identity will surely die... But the infinite possibilities he represents are what really makes Jing Sui afraid.
When there are more and more natural evolutionists, under the leadership of such a strong person, will more and more people be unwilling and try to overthrow the rule of the empire? It may take a very long time...
But Jing Sui looked very far, he saw the existence of this possibility, even if there was only one ten-thousandth possibility, he would not allow such a thing to happen, and would not allow his imperial rule to be shaken, so he chose Take the initiative to change this status quo, so that these civilians can truly become part of the empire, and they can get what they want without resistance.
If this continues, the rebel army will no longer be necessary, the conflict will disappear, and the power of the nobles will be weakened, no longer posing any threat to the imperial power.
And Jing Sui can have an extremely powerful country that is completely under his control, and he will become the only supreme ruler.
This is Jing Sui's real purpose.
From this point of view alone, Ji Ling admires him, because in fact, from the current situation, the empire is extremely prosperous and stable, and there is no time for reform. The variables that may exist, having such courage to make such a decision, instead of waiting until the conflict cannot be neutralized before trying to mend it, is by no means something ordinary people can do.
Because usually when a person is sitting on everything, it is difficult to take the risk of making such a change, because he is challenging the interests of the nobles of the entire empire and the rules that have been ingrained for countless years.
If you fail, you will be lost forever.
As for Gabriel...
Cruel, cold-blooded, perverted, cruel... all kinds of terrible words were piled up on him, and the nobles of the empire did not hesitate to use the most vicious words to describe this man, describing him as an anti-social anti- - The terrorist of the personality.
Calling Gabriel is a politically correct act for any noble in the empire. They use vicious words to cover up their fear and fear from the bottom of their hearts. The media and public opinion manipulated by the nobles also suppress him in various ways. It is to discredit him, isolate him, and prevent people from approaching him and supporting him.
Actually, Ji Ling believed the words describing Gabriel at the beginning, but later he felt that the imperial nobles were smearing him because...he had seen this man with his own eyes.
In the Zerg invasion not long after, I forcibly begged my father to let him go to the Naduo galaxy with Jing Sui in order to follow the plot in the previous life. On the way back after the battle, Ji Ling was betrayed by Carlos. Rebels.
That was the most dangerous experience he encountered in his last life.
Carlos and Jing Sui were fighting like a raging fire. Seeing that Jing Sui and Ning Yu had become famous again in the battle, he didn't want to see Jing Sui get what he wanted, so he let his subordinates betray him. If the high-ranking aristocrats were looted and killed by the ferocious rebels, even if Jing Sui didn't like him, he would have to make an explanation for his death—he must send troops to suppress the rebels and avenge himself.
But those rebels are very mysterious, good at hiding, and are covered by the people. Once the suppression starts, manslaughter and **** massacres are inevitable.
Then Jing Sui's painstakingly created image of being close to the people will also be ruined.
Carlos used this method to force Jing Sui to make a choice, and he was just a chess piece he chose to throw out at random, to arouse the nobles' strong dissatisfaction with the rebels.
At that time, Ji Ling was captured by the rebels. He was so frightened that he almost lost his courage. He was really scared! I heard that those rebels like to torture and kill nobles the most, and that Gabriel is cruel, cold-blooded and inhuman... Although the plot in the book says that he will not die, because there is still a role for him later, but... the book does not describe it in detail ah!
My role as a vicious cannon fodder was briefly mentioned. I only said that when the news of his death was reported at the beginning, Jing Sui and Carlos fought back and forth for tens of thousands of words. At the last critical moment, I suddenly escaped and helped Jing Sui resolve this crisis.
At that time, Ji Ling only wanted to say one thing: mmp
It is estimated that he will survive, but how, when, and whether he will be tortured...all of these have not been said! ! !
As an aristocratic dude with a bad reputation, if he falls into the hands of the rebels who hate the nobles the most, how can he have a good end?
Just when Ji Ling was terrified and desperate, he saw the mysterious man with black hair, black eyes and a silver mask.
He didn't kill him, he didn't even hurt him.
Ji Ling could feel the hostility and disgust towards him from the evolutionary civilians in the rebel army, and he even had a premonition that if Gabriel hadn't appeared, he might really have been tortured or even killed.
But Gabriel did nothing, just imprisoned him for a while and let him go.
Ji Ling didn't understand Gabriel at the time, he was really, really scared, and just wanted to run for his life. But when he finally left, he suddenly understood, because Gabriel also saw through Carlos' conspiracy, and didn't want to provoke a war between civilians and nobles at this time, and was used by Carlos to make countless innocent people bleed. All his actions, seemingly radical, are in essence seeking the interests of the common people, rather than going against the nobles simply because of ignorance and hatred...
So he didn't kill himself.
If he hadn't appeared at that time, I'm afraid I would have started the second brush.
Although the man with the silver mask was really terrifying, when he was about to leave, Ji Ling suddenly became less afraid of him. He instinctively felt that... this man was not as cold-blooded as others said Cruel, he is a murderous maniac...
Clearly very rational and calm.
Even the notorious self can be indifferent.
Later, Ji Ling figured it out, and probably some smart people also saw this clearly. Gabriel is not only a strong man, but also a wise man, so he was even more jealous and smeared him, wishing to get rid of him and hurry up .
Ji Ling recovered from his memory, looked at Deng Dong with a perfunctory smile and said, "Really? But His Majesty has already proposed to lower the price of the genetic evolution agent and open it to the public. Presumably, this kind of thing will not happen again in the future." .”
Deng Dong said with a struggling expression: "It should be..."
Although it is a good thing that Gabriel no longer grabs the gene evolution agent library, they are even more unwilling to make those commoners stronger. It is all to blame for that Gabriel. It would be great if he died!
Deng Dong said bitterly: "What a strange person, he will show his true colors if he has the guts."
Ji Ling: He is not a fool...
Roz said dissatisfiedly: "Hehe, I guess it's ugly and shameful."
Ji Ling: You guys are so low-level...
Deng Dong: "And why is it called such a strange name? It's a mouthful to read. It's some kind of stuff."
Ji Ling was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that this is the interstellar world thousands of years later, and no one knows the myths and stories of the ancient earth==
He coughed lightly and said, "Gabriel is the name of an angel in ancient earth mythology. It is a noble Seraphim, a symbol of wisdom, and a messenger of God."
Ji Ling finished speaking naturally, seeing Deng Dong and Ross staring at him blankly, "?"
Deng Dong said: "What is an angel..."
Roz said: "What is God..."
Ji Ling: "..."
Although he felt very toothache, Ji Ling still explained after seeing the expressions of the two curious babies: "The angels of God are all characters in the ancient religious masterpiece "Bible"..."
He talked dryly for a long time, and finally gave a general idea, so that the two people could barely understand what he meant.
Then I found that Luo Zi and Deng Dong looked at him with incomparable admiration, and said in unison: "I didn't expect Ji Shao to be so knowledgeable and knowledgeable! Even this kind of ancient mythology and history can be said so clearly!"
Deng Dong said: "I have a cousin from afar, who is very mentally strong and specializes in studying ancient history. I don't think he has heard of this."
Roz agreed: "This is the first time I've heard of it. It turns out that there is such a myth on the ancient earth."
Deng Dong: "Ji Shao deserves to be Ji Shao."
Roz: "I am so convinced."
Ji·Knowledgeable·Ling looked at them expressionlessly: "..."
Deng Dong and Ross praised Ji Ling with countless beautiful words for a long time, fully fulfilled the duty of a licking dog, praised Ji Ling's heaven and earth, and then continued to complain and attack Gabriel.
Deng Dong: "He actually chose such a name, is he trying to say that he is a messenger of God? How arrogant hahahaha!"
Roz agrees deeply: "It is, it is simply arrogant."
Deng Dong said disdainfully again: "The lowly common people are common people, and they actually believe in this kind of ancient myth, what kind of god, God, I think it's just that the earth was too backward at that time, and they worshiped the existence of other higher civilizations as gods. Alright."
Roz sneered: "Of course, if you go to some low-level planets that don't shit, people will worship you like a god."
Deng Dong: "Hahahahahaha, you are right!"
Roz: "So, there are no myths and gods, it's just that the people on Earth are too stupid and backward."
Ji Stupid Earthman Ling expressionless: "Hehe."
You seem to have forgotten that the people on Earth are your ancestors... Is it really okay to slander like this now?
Ji Ling decided not to continue mixing with this stupid conversation, wasting his time talking to the mentally retarded, while eating while looking around absently, suddenly seeing a figure in front of him, he coughed so frightened that tears flowed down his face Cough it up!
He quickly lowered his head and shrank himself into the corner as much as possible, telling himself that he would not be found, he would not be found, he would not be found...
At this moment, Luo Zi and Deng Dong happened to be looking in that direction, looking at the handsome and noble man with black hair and golden eyes, they all showed reverence, admiration and excitement, His Majesty is here!
Ji Ling was about to sneak away.
I heard Deng Dong come back to his senses suddenly, and shouted at him, the voice was so loud that it could be heard a hundred meters away, and he said excitedly: "Young Master Ji! Your Majesty is here too!"
Ji Ling wished he could strangle him to death. He raised his head with a pale face, and his gaze fell directly into the golden eyes of the man in front of him.
Ji Ling: "..."
Is it too late to go home now?
