"Sister Meow … look, look, there's a herd of elephants …"
The wind was howling in the sky, and it sounded like thunder in Meow's and Doudou Tang's ears. The two girls' hair looked like brooms in the wind. Meow, who was wearing a pair of goggles, was seriously riding the Rainbow Eagle, which was twice the size of Zhang Xiaoqiang's. Behind her, Doudou Tang, who was also wearing goggles, was pulling Meow's arm and shouting excitedly while pointing at the herd of beasts drinking by the river.
Meow turned his head to look at the ground hundreds of meters below, and saw a herd of mountain-sized monsters drinking by the river. Many of them were rolling in the mud. Seeing the monsters without noses, Meow screamed, "That's a wild boar … How did you go to school? You can't even recognize a wild boar …"
Meow's scream made Doudou Tang not dare to make a sound. No matter how she tried to explain, she would get beaten up by this violent sister who was used to using her fists. Watching the herd of beasts slowly disappear into the dense treetops, she couldn't help but shout, "How much longer? I'm homesick …"
Meow was also regretting bringing Doudou Tang out. The two girls only weighed 60 pounds together, but one person was still lighter than two people. Perhaps she had already arrived by herself. With a fierce look in her eyes, she screamed, "You're such a busybody. If I didn't bring you out, you'd tell on me. Now that I've brought you out, you're making trouble for me. If you keep making trouble, I'll throw you down. Let's see if you still dare to make trouble then …"
Doudou Tang was successfully intimidated again. She bit her lips and started sobbing, looking weak and delicate. Feeling the weak body behind him trembling, Meow shook his head helplessly. He took out a Dragontooth Fruit from his bag and gave it to Doudou Tang. Seeing the Dragontooth Fruit, Doudou Tang smiled happily and said sweetly, "Thank you, Sister Meow …"
"Squeak …"
A silver-black shadow quickly circled around their shoulders. When it saw that it was hundreds of meters above the ground, it was so scared that all its hair stood up. It quickly dove into Meow's bag. Glancing at the shadow hiding in the bag, Meow pursed his lips and thought about how long it had been since he last saw his mother. The temperature in the sky was very low, and the two girls were wearing thick down jackets. The thick down jackets wrapped the two girls like furry balls. Suddenly, the Lightning Eagle flew over a mountain range and saw a silver river extending from the ground. Under the sunlight, Meow's eyes brightened. He immediately took out the map and found the location of the river. Then, he took out a compass to determine his direction and controlled the Lightning Eagle to fly upstream.
It had to be said that in terms of flying, Meow Meow was indeed more talented than Zhang Xiao Qiang. Zhang Xiao Qiang was riding on a mutant bird, and was brought to the primeval forests of Siberia in a daze. Meow Meow, on the other hand, knew exactly where he was going. In comparison, Meow Meow found the direction of Hubei much more easily than Zhang Xiao Qiang. When Meow Meow flew past Wuhan, there were already people who wanted to report to the higher-ups. By the time Meow Meow reached the hot springs base, there were already people ready to welcome him. Following that, Meow Meow rejected the car arrangement, and brought the Lightning Eagle and Doudou Tang directly to the cockroach base.
Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at Zhuo Mingyue, who was hugging Hao 'er. Just now, when Shanghai Qiaoyun mentioned that they were on the same side, Zhuo Mingyue actually didn't refute. Wasn't this unreasonable in itself?
In the past, Zhuo Mingyue had asked Zhang Xiaoqiang to chase away Yuan Yi and the others so that she could dominate Zhang Xiaoqiang alone. Compared to the women who had been with him through life and death, Zhuo Mingyue was nothing in his eyes, which was why Zhang Xiaoqiang had said those heartless words.
Zhang Xiaoqiang never thought that things would turn out like this. Zhuo Mingyue took the initiative to express her goodwill to Shanghai Qiaoyun, giving him and Shanghai Qiaoyun a huge surprise. It was already confirmed that he, Zhang Xiaoqiang, had a daughter. Although the doctor couldn't tell, Zhuo Mingyue couldn't be compared to an ordinary person. Shanghai Qiaoyun had always wanted to have a child, and now that her wish had been fulfilled, she emitted a warm motherly aura. She no longer cared about Zhuo Mingyue's beauty, nor did she care about calling her sister. Instead, she deliberately tried to please Zhuo Mingyue. She brought out all the delicious food and drinks.
When Zhuo Mingyue mentioned that she wanted to see Hao 'er, Shanghai Qiaoyun took the initiative to lead the way, and Zhang Xiaoqiang had no choice but to follow. He knew that the three women were sitting together and talking about a topic that he didn't understand, so he couldn't figure out the situation. When the news that Meow had arrived at the hot spring base came, Zhang Xiaoqiang relaxed and thought of someone: Xu Mengzhu, whom he hadn't thought of for a long time.
"Her?
She's crazy all day, and no one pays attention to her. She's fed well, and by the way, she's good at medicine. She brought a group of women and started a Chinese medicine factory. They made the Life-Saving Pills and Blood-Staunching Pills, as well as some Summer Relieving Pills and Marching Pills. She said that the military's response was very good, and all her Chinese medicine has been designated as military supplies. I heard that she has also started a Mutated Herbal Medicine Research Center, which specializes in researching the effects of mutated herbs … "
Although Shanghai Qiaoyun didn't have any authority, she was still clear about some things inside the base. She talked a lot to Zhang Xiaoqiang, but Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't know what was wrong with him. It seemed that Xu Mengzhu's madness was caused by him. If he hadn't taken Meow away, Xu Mengzhu probably wouldn't be so conflicted right now. Thinking back to the first time he saw Xu Mengzhu being given to him as a gift, Zhang Xiaoqiang sighed. At that time, he still had some thoughts about Xu Mengzhu, but now it was like yesterday's flower. The more power he had, the wider his vision was. A woman like Xu Mengzhu would never be entangled with him.
"Get someone to inform Xu Mengzhu and ask her to come over …"
Shanghai Qiaoyun stood up and went out. Zhuo Mingyue hugged Hao 'er and couldn't bear to put him down. From the looks of it, even if she didn't give birth to him, she couldn't wait to kidnap him and hide him. Hao' er didn't hate Zhuo Mingyue, and his bright eyes looked at her curiously. His small hands tried to grab her hair. Mu Peipei was at the side, and her body slightly tightened, like a mother beast. Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't care, he knew that Zhuo Mingyue was an absolute arrogant girl who wouldn't hurt the innocent. At the start, he was just afraid that Zhuo Mingyue would get jealous and implicate Hao 'er, but now he didn't care anymore.
"This is the eldest son, he should inherit your mantle …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang nonchalantly wiped away Hao 'er's saliva. Zhuo Mingyue's sudden words caused Zhang Xiaoqiang to roll his eyes and say with disdain, "Compared to having him kill people, I'd rather have him study and grow flowers. My children don't have any historical missions or outstanding bloodlines. I was an ordinary person before, and they will be ordinary people in the future. Even if I leave them the family property, at most, they won't starve to death. There's no way they can sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. No matter what they want, they have to rely on themselves to earn it …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang's words immediately made Zhuo Mingyue unhappy. She turned her head and glared at Zhang Xiaoqiang, saying with disdain, "I thought you were a hero.
In less than two months, you annexed three hundred thousand people in Jiangxi, and you're even preparing to conquer Sichuan. I didn't expect you to have such poor foresight.
Why would you give away the empire you fought for to others?
What's wrong with being an emperor? Even if you're afraid that they won't have the ability, you can still set up an upper and lower house of parliament and implement a constitutional monarchy … "
Mu Peipei was no longer on guard. She slowly leaned back in her chair and stared at Zhang Xiaoqiang to see what he had to say.
"Forget it, an emperor?
What kind of emperor are you talking about? You'll be restricted for the rest of your life. Everyone will be watching them, and even the smallest mistake will be a scandal. Not to mention that you won't have freedom from day to night, there are still so many important matters of the country that they have to decide on. What if one day they start a coup? Wouldn't they be exterminated?
What I said is the best. Hide behind the scenes and transcend the world. Even if they bully men and take women, they'll be dealt with according to the family law. It won't become a scandal that everyone knows about. Besides, what I left for them isn't as simple as you think. As long as their intelligence doesn't degenerate, no matter how many generations there are, it will still be enough to support them … "
Zhuo Mingyue was very disdainful, but Mu Peipei nodded. Putting herself in their shoes, wasn't the so-called emperor just a bird in a cage?
If they did well, then they should be, but if they didn't, then they would be an incapable and mediocre emperor. They would have to bear the infamy. Her son couldn't become such a person. He should be free, do what he wanted, marry what he liked, and live a peaceful life.
"But … but this is just your opinion. What if …"
Zhuo Mingyue wanted to refute, but Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly waved his hand and roared:
"There are no 'what if's. As long as it's my son, as long as it's surnamed Zhang, they have to walk the path I set. Who told them to be born by me …"
"Then, then my son won't be surnamed Zhang anymore. Let him follow my surname Zhuo …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang and Mu Peipei were stunned and looked at Zhuo Mingyue. Only then did Zhuo Mingyue realize that she had said something she shouldn't have. She immediately blushed, and her red cheeks were like red jade, exuding an alluring luster. Zhang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but want to eat. Mu Peipei felt that it was inconceivable. As one of the high-level evolvers, the moment Zhuo Mingyue entered the door, she felt that she was in extreme danger. Even the smell of blood on Zhang Xiaoqiang's body didn't give her as much pressure as Zhuo Mingyue. How could such a powerful woman have this kind of mentality?
No wonder she was entangled with Zhang Xiaoqiang about their children's future. So she had ulterior motives?
