271 Team of Fools

Kazuko's face showed a bit of sadness, as well as a trace of nostalgia and loneliness.

She was the Overlord of Western Chu and the number one general who assisted Ying Yin in ascending to the throne of God. Although she didn’t pay much attention to this title at first, and she didn’t feel very close to Ying Yin, just because she had fought there before. There was something about that place and land that she missed, so she stayed.

Even she herself had never thought that this stay would last for decades, and that this stay would end a person's entire life.

From the time when Yingyin learned it by her side at the age of nine, to adulthood, to being named the crown prince, to being questioned by ministers and officials, to being poisoned and assassinated, to ascending to the throne as emperor, ruling the world as a woman, and then to In the end, he was defeated in Wujiang and committed suicide... She did not miss any of the events, and just watched all the experiences of a person from childhood to death.

Time can change many things.

In the past, Kazuko did not feel the power of time in herself because she had lived without worries for so many years, but after spending decades with Ji Di, she truly realized it.

Decades were a short period of time for her, almost fleeting, but for humans, it was almost a lifetime.

Human life is too short, but it is precisely because of its shortness that human beings are more eager. They are eager to learn infinite knowledge in a limited time, they are eager to complete unlimited achievements in a limited time, and they are even more eager... to be in the limited time. time to receive infinite love.

This was the case with the First Emperor, and the same was true with Emperor Ji.

Kazuo not only watched Ji Emperor finish his life, but also saw the ending of the First Emperor.

In the later years of the First Emperor, she actually had many ways to extend the life of the other party, at least for another ten or twenty years, which was enough to create a smoother situation for Ying Yin, but she still did not do that after all. Because she didn't have much loyalty to Da Qin at that time, and then, Ying Yinli, who was less than twenty years old, faced a very difficult start.

In order to become a qualified emperor, Yingyin worked very hard. She studied politics with Li Si in the morning, practiced swordsmanship with her in the afternoon, and in the evening the First Emperor personally taught her the methods that an emperor needs to learn. As she got older, she also reviewed some Memorials and the like... Ever since she set that almost impossible goal, she had hardly had a moment of leisure and spent at least eight hours a day studying.

After finally getting her wish and becoming the emperor, Akubeko originally thought that she could finally relax and enjoy the honor and glory brought by the throne. However, Yingyin became even busier after becoming Empress Ji. Questions from all walks of life. In order to become an emperor faster and to make the country develop better, sometimes she was so busy that she didn't even have time to sleep. She was like a robot, dealing with various things non-stop.

Regarding the question that many people in later generations questioned why Emperor Ji did not get married, Kazuko can give an answer. There are two reasons for this. One of the reasons is time. At that time, Emperor Ji really did not have the extra thought and time to think about this kind of problem. matter.

And every time in the dead of night, looking at Emperor Ji's room with the lights still on until dawn, she couldn't help but sigh. If the time could go back more than ten years ago, when the First Emperor was still alive, how would she feel? By helping him extend his life, does Ji Di not need to be so busy?

Because of Ji Di's unhuman work and rest attitude, Kazuko's attitude also quietly changed. From the beginning, it was just to prevent this comfortable environment from disappearing. Later, she truly accepted the overlord of Western Chu. This identity attempts to make Emperor Ji's path forward smoother.

At the same time, her attitude towards humans has also changed slightly...

However, it was only after she worked hard that she finally understood that the general trend of the world cannot be changed by one's own strength. No matter how brave and powerful an individual may be, they can at most only slightly affect the situation at that time, but no one can save a building that is about to fall.

Ji Di can't do it, and she can't do it even more!

In the end, Emperor Ji died and the Qin Dynasty came to an end. After taking Emperor Ji's body away from the battlefield and burying it in a cemetery with a beautiful environment, she returned to Xianyang Palace to complete her final revenge. From then on, she disappeared and ignored human beings. matter.

However, whenever she thinks about the name that she has lived with for decades, she still can't help but wonder, if she had worked harder and helped earlier, would the outcome have been a little better? different?

Whenever she thinks like this, she can't help but enter human society, see, listen, and witness these new histories.

She still hates human beings as always, but because of Emperor Ji, she will no longer deny human efforts. She will try to discover the shining points among human beings and give recognition to these people.

She likes those human beings who shine brightly in times of crisis, just like Ji Di, who works hard to prove their worth and creates an environment where everyone can be happy and contented, even if the final outcome is not happy. , she is still willing to listen and pay attention to such things.

Although she still hates humans as much as ever.

Kazuko no longer tried to hide her feelings. She told these things in front of everyone, and everyone around them, including Tang Hao and Mashu, listened quietly until she took the initiative to end the topic.

"But there is still a chance to meet again." After Akuko finished speaking, the always optimistic Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled in the silent atmosphere and said, "Ji Emperor is the first female emperor in Chinese history. People like her are bound to be registered in the Throne of Heroes, so as long as we continue this journey of saving humanity, there will definitely be a chance to see her again. The regrets from that time can be made up for now, right? "

Kazuko glanced at her in surprise, "You are really optimistic. The past has passed. There is no such thing as making up for past regrets. I have never had such an idea, but... maybe it is also because of this. You are the one who takes on the task of saving humanity."

Having said this, A mustard child looked at Tang Hao again.

Although it is already impossible, if the person who stayed with Emperor Ji at that time was not her, but Tang Hao, maybe the final result would be different. After all, this guy... can even save the destroyed human mind. O people, get up!

Matthew nodded heavily, "Yes, senior's words will definitely be fine!"

Mashu was talking about Fujimaru Ritsuka, but Akuko was thinking about Tang Hao at the moment. Hearing this, she couldn't help but smile.

"Ah, I finally laughed." Seeing this scene, Cake came to Kazuko's side in time and said with a smile, "I thought Miss Kazuo was the kind of person who couldn't laugh, but she can also laugh. It’s so brilliant and so cute, hee hee.”

Hearing what she said, Kazuko stopped laughing and sighed: "Are you that kind of person? No matter what you face, you are always a fool who faces it with a smile?"

Cake didn't take it seriously, "Yes, because my position is that of the stupid queen."

If Jeanne realized something, "Speaking of stupidity...that person, the Dragon Witch seems to have said the same thing about me, thinking that my actions to save France were stupid."

"Haha." Mozart laughed, "I won't make any concessions on this point."

Fujimaru Ritsuka gave a silly smile, "It seems that everyone is stupid. Maybe it is for this reason that we can come together and become companions."

"Haha, even though it's called stupid, it's not bad either."

The group of people laughed, and the originally dull atmosphere became cheerful again.

Tang Hao walked behind, looked at A mustard child, and asked in a low voice: "How do you feel?"

"what do you mean?"

"Of course it's how I feel at the moment."

"...They look stupid. It's hard to believe that this is the team that saves humanity, but...I don't hate them."

"So, isn't this good?"

"yes."

Kazuko smiled slightly, vaguely, she felt as if she had found something she had lost again.

…

Soon after, everyone came to a small town where a group of humans lived.

In France, most human villages have been destroyed, and the surviving people have built simple settlements on these bases. Just like the small town in front of you, although there are people living there, it looks dilapidated.

"Then, leave it to me to inquire about the news."

The destination of their trip was Lyon, and they needed some information, so Cake volunteered.

She is indeed the most suitable candidate, because after a famous historical beauty like her becomes a heroic spirit, she basically has her own charm skills, and it is easy to gain the trust and favor of ordinary people.

Then, within an hour, Cake came back with the information.

"Everyone, I've heard about it." As soon as they met, Cake said with a sweet smile, "Lyon is not far ahead, but that city has been destroyed, and the villagers here escaped from Lyon. Refugees, and the destroyed Lyon...unfortunately, it has been completely occupied by monsters, and there are living corpses and the like everywhere."

Hearing this, Jeanne's face couldn't help but show a bit of sadness.

"Is it okay, Joan of Arc? Although I know you are sad to hear this."

"It's okay." Joan of Arc immediately smiled and shook her head, "Just keep talking."

"Well, that's good." Cake smiled slightly, "Besides, I also got a possibly very important news, that is, last night, the villagers discovered that several figures rushed into Lyon. According to their description, I The judge should be the one who follows.”

"Did the servants enter Lyon to deal with Siegfried? Or did they predict that we would come?" Tang Hao asked quickly, "Do you have any kind of servants?"

"It's impossible to be sure. After all, the speed of the followers is too fast, but one villager said that one of the followers was holding a very large weapon, like a spear, but it was bigger than a person."

A spear bigger than a man?

Tang Hao was stunned.

"Is it Karna?"
