As the saying goes, hit someone without slapping them in the face, and curse people without exposing their shortcomings.
Especially in this era where advocates can be killed but not humiliated, hitting someone in the face is definitely an extreme insult. What's more, the other person is the empress dowager of a country.
One can imagine how ashamed and angry Su Liu was at this moment.
"You... just kill me!"
"Kill you? Wouldn't that be too cheap for you?"
"You...what do you want to do?"
"Nothing else. I want to take you to Qiongzhou, where you can serve the Supreme Emperor to atone for your sins. When he recovers from his illness and wakes up, you can leave Qiongzhou. It is only natural and right for the Queen Mother to serve the Supreme Emperor, no matter who you are.
I can’t even say anything sarcastic.”
ah!!
This means house arrest!
"Qi Yu, I beg you, please let me go!"
"Let you go?"
Seeing her surrender, Qi Yu smiled happily.
Hehe, do you know?
All I want is you begging me!
Although he thought so in his heart, he still said forcefully: "If I let you go, wouldn't it be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain? In the future, you won't take revenge on me?"
"I promise, it will never happen!"
"Haha, it would be strange if you don't know!"
Qi Yu laughed strangely like an expert, and then said, seemingly true and false: "In your eyes, I have read a strong desire for revenge. What you just said must not have been sincere."
Seeing that he was exposed, Su Liu had no choice but to admit his guilt and said: "I admit that I want to retaliate against you, but I also admit that I am indeed no match for you."
Good attitude.
You can continue talking.
"Do you know where we lost this time?"
"I had bad luck and was trapped by the weather, so my success failed."
"Besides, there is another reason, do you know what it is?"
"Our army's equipment is too inferior..."
Yes, this sentence is the core point.
If we say that in the encounter just now, the imperial army was defeated due to lack of physical strength, it would be better to say that it was defeated due to lack of equipment.
Assuming that if the imperial army holds sharp firearms, even if they are tired and fall down, they can still pull the trigger to carry out a certain counterattack. No matter what, they will not be captured without even a fight.
Although Su Liu thought of using a shield array to restrain the Qiong army's firearms, this method of warfare is based on sufficient physical strength. If the array cannot be pulled up, it will only become a burden.
of drag.
Right now, it is self-defeating and the gain outweighs the loss.
In this state, the advantage of firearms comes into play. Even if it is a few against many, it can be absolutely suppressed. Su Liu feels that the defeat is not a loss.
Qi Yu smiled and said: "Theoretically speaking, with your transcendent knowledge, you shouldn't lag behind me so much. If we look into the reason carefully, it is the imprisonment caused by your conservative ideas."
After a pause, he said with a hint of teasing: "If I give you another chance and agree to use an exercise to show off the military superiority in three years' time, will you be willing to accept the challenge?"
On the surface, the above words summarize the past and assume the future. However, if you look closely, there is an implicit meaning in the words.
That is, you can let people go.
Su Liu's eyes flashed when he saw hope, and he said almost without thinking: "I am willing to accept your challenge, and you are not allowed to go back on it!"
"Okay! But..."
"But what?"
"I have a condition!"
When Su Liu heard that there were conditions for negotiation, instead of being angry, Su Liu smiled happily.
She understands very well that there is no free bargain in this world. As long as there is one, one has to pay a corresponding price to access it.
"Qi Yu, stop hiding it and tell us your conditions directly."
"Refreshing! This has been plotting against me for so long. If you don't retaliate, how can you alleviate the hatred in my heart? In this case, let me give you a small punishment."
When Su Liu heard about the harsh punishment, he immediately became nervous.
Because, she smelled something scary from it.
Seeing this, Qi Yu hurriedly relieved her and said: "Don't worry, although I like to use cruel hands to destroy flowers, I still have some pity for beautiful women. I will definitely not use flogging or torture.
It’s on you.”
Su Liu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and said, "You still have a clear conscience and some moral integrity."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Qi Yu chuckled and said, "I thought about it and decided to give you a tattoo. I remember that in the previous life, you had a tattoo on your arm. In this life,
How can it be left behind?"
Tattoo punishment, also known as ink punishment, tattoo punishment and tattooing, is one of the five punishments in ancient times.
From the perspective of the current era, although this punishment is slightly painful, it is the most humiliating of all punishments.
Especially for active figures in the political arena, if they have tattoos on their faces, how will they go out to meet people later?
Not surprisingly, this ‘initiative’ was immediately and strongly rejected by Su Liu.
However, the objection is invalid.
There are only two options given by Qi Yu, either go to Qiongzhou to accompany the driver, or accept a tattoo, choose one of the two.
Whichever is the lesser of two evils.
Alas, let’s admit it!
Seeing her cooperation, Qi Yu immediately commiserated and made an appropriate reduction in sentence. He promised that he would only tattoo a mandala flower between her eyebrows, and nothing else.
Datura flowers are beautiful on the outside but highly poisonous inside. The meaning behind them is self-explanatory.
With Su Liu's intelligence, she naturally knew the underlying meaning, but she had no choice.
You'd better admit it, otherwise?
Naturally, Huang Fei did the delicate work like tattooing himself, without having to do it for Master Qi. It only took him a while to drink tea, and he announced that it was completed.
With tears of reluctance, Su Liu reluctantly put on a veil to hide her ugliness.
She firmly believed that this was the greatest humiliation in her life, bar none.
First, he was slapped in the mouth by Qi Yu, and then she punished him with a tattoo. The legendary humiliation of Han Xin's crotch was nothing more than that, right?
Hum, we must turn our grief and anger into strength, and we will not be humiliated again in the future!
Let him also taste the miserable feeling of being controlled by others.
"I take my leave!"
"Wait a minute!"
Just as Su Liu said goodbye in a whimpering voice, Qi Yu, who was watching from the side, suddenly stood up with a smile on his face.
Looking at his expression, he is even more cunning than a villain.
It's really annoying to look at.
"What else do you want to do with me?"
"Don't worry, I will never add more money."
After saying that, Qi Yu changed his tone and said seriously: "Su Liu, if you want me to truly convince you, you have to show some real skills. If you just use some heresy, you will never be able to suppress me."
"The world today is facing unprecedented changes. You must follow the current situation, otherwise you will only lose. The current game is about all-round strength. Relying solely on calculation will definitely not work. If you want to ride
Showing off your power on my neck can only be achieved by developing well, otherwise you will still be defeated by me next time."
Su Liu gritted his teeth and said with all his heart, "Don't worry, I will definitely learn from the experience, eliminate the shortcomings, use scientific methods to develop the military, and I will definitely defeat you in the future."
"Of course you can! However, I still want to remind you that there is no problem with your development, but there is one thing: you must not harm the people, otherwise, I will never spare you!"
After a meal, Qi Yu shared his experience seemingly generously: "If you want to achieve military success, you must have enough tax revenue as support, and tax revenue must benefit from advanced agriculture, open business, and tolerance.
Only strong incentive policies can be achieved. The first two are achieved by relying on the power of science, while the latter depends on how you delegate power."
Building a country is an all-round chess game, and we must not focus on just one subject, otherwise it will violate the law of development.
Su Liu sighed quietly when he heard this, and then said goodbye with complicated emotions.
