In the dark room, Zhang Fan and Ruiyuan were sitting opposite each other. Not long after, several Lanying Ci brought tea to the two of them.

Looking at Lan Yingci's outstanding attire, even Ruiyuan couldn't help but take a second look, and at the same time he couldn't help but envy Zhang Fan.

Although you can't see the other person's appearance clearly, you can already guess how outstanding the other person is just from the moist skin exposed.

Thinking of this, Ruiyuan couldn't help but feel a hint of envy in his heart.

He is a young man after all...

"To be honest, I thought about it a lot before coming here, but when I actually stood on this land, all those complicated thoughts disappeared..."

After Lan Yingci put the tea on the table, Zhang Fan opened his mouth and said.

Listening to Zhang Fan's words, Ruiyuan couldn't help but frown slightly. He didn't quite understand what the other party meant, but before he could react, Zhang Fan continued:

"The fundamental reason why you came to me this time is simply because of the issue of staying in China. There is no need for us to go through so many twists and turns. After all, we are all Chinese. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I don't want us to meet at war.

.”

Regarding the civilian army, Zhang Fan is definitely not willing to go to war, because for him, the person who is most suitable for him in this world is not himself.

Now, just one Shenzhou has already dragged down too much of his energy. If another one comes, he may not be able to manage it even if he goes around for a whole day.

After listening to Zhang Fan's words, Ruiyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

"In that case, I won't give in. What are your plans for the land under your feet?"

Zhang Fan's directness greatly exceeded his expectations, and it also made all the rhetoric he had prepared before become ineffective.

Since we are all talking openly and openly, there is no need for me to talk in circles.

"I will not take any of the land occupied by China. After the war is over, I will have someone officially hand it back to you."

As soon as these words came out, Ruiyuan's eyes couldn't help but widen a little, and a few veins appeared on the hand holding the crutch.

"You...why?"

Ruiyuan was silent for a long time, various possibilities flashed through his mind, but he could not think of a reason for Shenzhou to give up.

Nowadays, all the land occupied by China is rich towns. Not to mention cities like Light and Magic City, Nandu and Beiping, which are all strategic locations, but the other party actually didn't want it?

This made him confused and unable to understand why. Unless there was a greater benefit, the other party had no reason to give up!

"Mr. Ruiyuan, I want to ask you, what do you think will happen if I don't give in?"

Hearing the other party ask him why, Zhang Fan couldn't help but laugh.

"...Perhaps you will become the real master here, but precisely because of this, I can't figure out why you want to retreat?

Doesn't this land have any appeal for you?"

Ruiyuan slowly stood up and looked at Zhang Fan with scrutiny and doubt in his eyes.

He didn't believe that anyone could give up this temptation, and he didn't believe that a king of such a powerful empire wouldn't have this ambition.

Facing the other party's doubts, Zhang Fan remained silent for a moment, but then a relieved smile appeared on his face:

“No one can understand the attraction this land has to me, and no one would want to set foot on this homeland more than me.

When dreams come back to me, I often see myself and the world I once had. Now if you ask me why, my reason is very simple, it is for the people!"

Zhang Fan's words stunned Ruiyuan. He really didn't expect that the other party would say these words.

"If I don't give in today, the ideals and ambitions you have worked hard for for many years will be in vain, and the sacrifices of tens of millions of people will become meaningless. People on this land have shed enough blood. If it is just for me,

If I want to deny those who sacrificed their lives for this homeland, then I would rather give up!"

"I am the king of the Chinese Empire, but I am also the confused child I once was. I admit that I am very selfish, but when I stand on this land where they sacrificed their lives, I am willing to be great once, even just this once...

"

Zhang Fan didn't know what kind of person he was, but he understood that for Zhongxia, too many ancestors had spilled their blood on this land, and tens of millions of dead souls may still be wandering in this land to this day.

If at this time, I use absolute strength to conquer this land, wouldn't their sacrifice and dedication become a joke that everyone laughs at?

He is now standing on the top of the mountain, but he has never forgotten himself who had never reached the top, and who gave the weak and ordinary self the chance to survive!

Maybe I can provide the comfort that the people want, but since the right person has already appeared, why do I need to fight for it anymore?

If you let them shed blood that shouldn't be shed for your own selfish interests, what's the difference between you and a traitor?

"..."

Zhang Fan's words made Ruiyuan unable to recover for a long time.

"As a monarch, I would not agree with your words, but as a Chinese, I will remember your words for the rest of my life!"

Looking at Zhang Fan in front of him, Ruiyuan finally smiled after being silent for a long time.

It's not clear why he was laughing.

…

As the conversation ended, Ruiyuan left Nandu directly the next day. Naturally, this news was not hidden from Huang Cheng's informants.

Sitting in the car on the way back, Ruiyuan looked at the scenery outside the car window, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

"Funny but a little silly..."

After yesterday's contact, Ruiyuan made an evaluation in his mind.

To be honest, if the roles of the two parties were reversed, he would never make such a decision as Zhang Fan did.

Human nature is inherently selfish!

Not long after Ruiyuan returned, Liu Yuan and the others planned to report everything they saw. But just when they were about to call, the door of the stronghold was suddenly kicked open by someone, followed by more than a dozen heavily armed people.

The Long Yan Army broke in directly.

"Hold your head with your hands and lie down!"

The sudden appearance of the Long Yan Army shocked everyone present, but before they could react, the other party came up and escorted them to a dark transport vehicle.

Feeling the shaking of the car, Liu Yuan lowered his head and remained silent.

I just met people from the civilian army yesterday, and now I turned around and arrested them. It is hard not to think that there might be some kind of deal between them.

Just as Liu Yuan was thinking wildly, the speed of the car gradually slowed down until it completely stopped. The door of the car behind him was opened from the outside. The dazzling sunlight made it difficult to open his eyes for a while, but when he saw clearly what was in front of him,

I couldn't help but be stunned when I saw the scene.
