The two-year bet was thus concluded, and for some reason, everyone present except for a certain filial daughter felt that Lin Qi was bound to win.
It's obvious they want to kill her, yet they still choose to make this bet. That means the other party has definitely changed. The reason is simple: if someone with that kind of power wants to kill, why not just kill them directly? Why do it this way? They just want to make the princess despair. It's a truly twisted sense of humor.
"Then what are you going to do?"
Although the bet between the two had been made, the princess had no idea what this extremely handsome and powerful man was planning to do.
Lin Qi watched as the other party chose to share his thoughts and plans. After listening, the expressions of these people became complicated. Although the plan was quite simple and the actions were quite unassuming, it was precisely the best testing method.
Vivi understood what he meant, so she nodded without thinking. After all, she had confidence in him, though she was also thinking, "Please don't let me down, Sha Kou."
Not long after, newspapers were received throughout the kingdom, filled with evidence of the Sand Crocodile Fish's crimes. Why had things turned out this way?
And it was Weiwei who infiltrated the other party's work to find out this intelligence.
After seeing this evidence and the statements in the newspapers, many people voiced their condemnation.
After all, they caused such a mess here, and yet they treat the person who caused it as a hero. This is utterly humiliating; they've been made a fool of.
Public resentment was boiling over, with many people shouting that they wanted to settle scores with the other party. However, for some reason, another voice suddenly emerged.
"Can we really trust what the royal family says?"
"Can't these things be forged?"
"If the sand crocodile is the culprit here, why can't the royal family frame this hero?"
This strange wind spread extremely quickly. Of course, it was very small at first, but as time went by, by the next day, doubts were everywhere, and some even began to believe that it was Wang Qianli's ghost.
At this moment, under unknown circumstances, some people are constantly urging others to join the rebels, eliminate the royal family, and restore peace to the country.
The pretext for the attack was to slander heroes. They made a mistake themselves, yet they tried to shift the blame onto others, showing absolutely no sense of responsibility.
It's important to understand that people are often blindly obedient, especially since most people in this world are like cattle or horses, or even if they sense something is wrong, they'll choose to follow when faced with a major event. Any dissenting voices are quickly drowned out. So, for some reason, this whole affair has somehow become an opportunity for the rebels to grow stronger.
Chapter 537 Weiwei, you lost
Koza, as the leader of the rebels of the King of Alabasta, now holds the evidence proving that he is innocent and that everything was the work of Crocodile, who was being hailed as a hero.
At the time, many people realized that since the mastermind was not the king, they could withdraw from the matter. Some even praised Princess Vivi for being so capable.
As the leader, Kou Sha had to admit that his actions were indeed impressive, as he had managed to find evidence. However, looking at his subordinates and confidants, especially his confidants, who seemed to want to speak but hesitated to do so.
He then kindly asked these people to speak.
Some of these people questioned the matter, asking how an ordinary princess could possibly find evidence. They claimed the evidence was fake, and others suggested that not only was the evidence fabricated, but the whole thing was a cover-up to protect themselves and even to slander heroes.
Seeing the ambitious glint in their eyes, Kosa immediately decided to have them spread the word. After all, they had already come this far, how could they possibly give up?
He could have been king, but he chose to give up the opportunity. He must be out of his mind.
Kou Sha tore the evidence to shreds, and seeing the growing number of rebels—after just one night, many had joined early this morning—his eyes gleamed with even greater ambition. He could launch an attack immediately and overthrow the monarchy in one fell swoop.
Vivi, Vivi, wouldn't it be better to just be a good princess? Why do you have to find evidence under these circumstances? You're really going to cause me trouble.
At this moment, Kou Sha's eyes held a longing, a longing for power, a longing for status.
Before this, he genuinely wanted to do something for the country. However, as the number of people grew and he was elected as the leader with so many troops under his control, he became dissatisfied and decided to become king himself. Moreover, after learning from his informants that no powerful individuals had come to the country, and that it was just one person who had found evidence, he immediately made up his mind to fight a quick battle. After all, there were no powerful individuals, and no forced connections. With the current number of troops under his command, he could easily deal with the royal family.
Kou Sha didn't waste any words at this point and directly issued the order to launch a general offensive the day after tomorrow.
It directly ignited a rebellion—no, it should be said that it ignited the flames of revolution.
Driven by his ambition, Kosa began to arrange everything.
When the day was set for the mobilization of the chief engineer, everyone rushed forward, appearing in the streets of the king and heading towards the palace.
Although we can only mobilize a limited number of troops, we still have 50, and another 40 are in other parts of the country, which is enough.
Originally, there were 80 troops, but another 10 came in, resulting in a larger force here. Even the garrison troops were somewhat wavering because of their propaganda.
Kou Shah immediately led his army to instruct these people not to harm the local people, since he had always pursued a people-friendly approach.
All along the way, these people kept their doors and windows tightly shut, allowing the rebel army he led to march through the streets in a grand procession.
But along the way, they strangely discovered that there were no garrison troops. What was going on?
Kou Sha frowned at this moment. What happened? Why were there no garrison troops? This was not normal.
Kou Sha had a bad feeling and felt uneasy. After all, the situation was a bit strange. Normally, there should be garrison troops here, but the problem was that they had all disappeared, as if they were being allowed to travel together.
Kou Sha frowned as he watched the imperial palace approach. He then surveyed his surroundings and realized that even with an ambush, victory was impossible. He knew exactly how many troops remained there, and they were no match for his own forces.
The numbers are overwhelming, and according to several different reports, including from the garrison, many people are wavering.
Kou Sha had probably figured out the most likely reason for this: those people were initially wavering, but now that they saw that Kou Sha had enough numbers and felt the tide was turning against them, they saw no need to fight to the death and gave up resisting.
Kosa was in a great mood at this moment, feeling that he was destined for greatness, so he encouraged everyone without hesitation, saying that as long as they stormed in and killed the king, they could establish a new country and make it better.
It has to be said that the slogans are quite impressive, but before that, it would be best to first conceal the desire hidden in their eyes.
Just as they were about to approach the palace, they suddenly saw a man with several people blocking their way. Everyone looked and saw a very handsome guy and several voluptuous beauties.
Of course, a familiar person was also with these people: King Cobra of this country, and his daughter, Princess Vivi of this country.
Everyone stopped in their tracks for a moment.
Everyone watched as the handsome guy put his arm around Princess Vivi's waist.
As the two sides stared at each other, Lin Qi looked at the group of people in front of him and spoke with a smile.
"Weiwei, I won."
Vivi looked at the vast rebel army and its commander at the front, her expression filled with disappointment.
When Weiwei made the bet with Lin Qi, she originally thought she couldn't possibly lose, but the temple staff actually slapped her in the face.
He thought he wouldn't lose, but he lost the bet. Looking at the people rushing over, at the leader, and thinking about what had happened in the past few days...
Weiwei admitted that she had underestimated the nature of human nature and a person's desire for power.
"I lost."
At this moment, Weiwei had to admit that she had lost.
Looking at those who rebelled against him, Cobra was suddenly filled with self-doubt. Had he been a failure as king? Why was this happening? He had clearly announced the news; were human desires truly insatiable?
Seeing that his opponent had lost, Lin Qi gave her a hard pat on her pert buttocks and said with a smile.
"A bet's a bet. Get ready for me tonight, all cleaned up. I'm going to deal with these ants first."
Chapter 538 I won!
When Weiwei heard this, she blushed, especially when she thought about what had happened in the past few days. This person had been doing a lot of things in her room without any restraint. As a result, she could say that she hadn't eaten pork during this period, but she had seen pigs run, and even seen countless pigs run. She also knew what she was going to face next. However, she quickly suppressed these emotions in her heart, mainly because she had to face the current situation.
At this moment, Weiwei chose to stand up and look at her childhood friend in front of her.
"Kousha, why? Why have you become like this? You should know that it was all true, yet you still chose to rebel. Do you really crave power that much?"
Weiwei asked the question with a look of deep sorrow, and the other person's eyes flashed with an ambiguous light upon hearing it, but that light quickly disappeared and turned into determination.
Lin Qi knew very well that the other party had just felt a little regretful, but he had suppressed it, since the situation was now so dire that he had no choice but to act.
He could only go all the way, not to mention any regrets. They were just because of the friendship he had with his children. Now that he had lost all of that, he had to get that position. After all, there was no turning back.
At this moment, Kosa spoke with a determined look on his face.
"I don't know what you're talking about. All I know is that everything I do is for the country."
"Weiwei, as a princess, you've actually spread false information in an attempt to deceive the people."
"Instead of admitting their own sins, they want to pin the blame on Crocodile, the hero of this country."
"To maintain your rule, I am heartbroken as your friend. So I have decided that even if it means killing my own friends, I will wipe out all of you hypocritical royalty, restore order to this country, and rebuild a beautiful nation."
Kou Sha's voice carried a lot of weight and reached the ears of many people.
It gives people the feeling that the other party is a true messenger of justice.
When Weiwei heard this, I was filled with disappointment. He was truly disappointed. He had hoped that being childhood sweethearts would make her realize her mistake, but he didn't expect her to remain the same. There was really nothing he could do.
After all, he had noticed something glint in the other person's eyes.
When Cobra tried to stand up and say something, he strangely found that he couldn't move or speak, and he immediately felt terrible.
"At my age, I shouldn't get involved in these things. Go somewhere cool and stay there. It's my time to perform."
Lin Qi stepped forward at this moment and spoke with a smile.
Cobra was momentarily speechless, but still returned the situation to Lynch.
After all, he hadn't known the other person's identity for the past few days, but he did know that an extremely powerful person had arrived. A person who could decide the life and death of this country.
At the same time, the person who could protect his daughter at this moment was someone to whom he could die without caring about the consequences, but his daughter was not.
Therefore, after witnessing the opponent's ruthless methods, Cobra clearly understood that if this person really wanted to, he would be a second Crocodile, or even far more powerful than Crocodile Killer. Didn't you see that even the Navy Admiral candidates were obediently staying by his side? This already speaks volumes.
Furthermore, according to the introduction, the other party also has the daughter of one of the Four Emperors, Kaido.
As for whether his daughter implied it was the other party who beat him up and forcibly took him as his mistress, isn't that enough to explain the problem? That's someone the Emperor of the Great Sea could easily destroy this country.
So now everything here is decided by the other party. Since they're not letting me speak, I should just keep quiet and do my job.
At this moment, Lin Qi stepped forward and appeared in front of the other party.
Kou Sha narrowed his eyes as he looked at the person in front of him who seemed like a nobleman. He wondered who this person was. He couldn't be a nobleman of this country, could he? After all, if he were, he would probably have information about him. An outsider?
Kosa's only thought was that the person was an outsider. After all, the other person didn't look like a pirate, and small-time pirates wouldn't have this face, clothing, or demeanor.
If it's a foreign nobleman, it's a bit troublesome, since it's hard to figure out their identity, and it's even said that these nobles have guards.
This is a bit troublesome. It's unclear whether the guards are strong or weak.
But after thinking about it, I felt relieved. So what if there were empty seats? We have a lot of people here, and we're just here for fun. We haven't seen anyone around, maybe one or two guards at most. If they dare to stop us, we can just deal with them and then say they were killed by Cobra and his men. We can just shift all the blame.
Kou Sha gave himself a thumbs up for his quick thinking. Then, after making his decision, he looked at Lin Qi and was about to speak when Lin Qi spoke first.
"You know what? Someone made a bet with me, saying that you didn't have any improper thoughts, and that I should let you go."
"And I agreed to their request. The result was obvious: you had inappropriate thoughts, and I won the gamble."
Lin Qi's words initially puzzled the other party, but after figuring it out, they stared intently at Lin Qi.
Kou Sha, being a highly intelligent person, understood perfectly well that this was a bet between the other party and Vivi.
You can't bet on whether you'll continue to resist after knowing the truth. The answer is obvious: Weiwei bet that she wouldn't, while the other person bet that she would. In the end, the person who bet won.
Kou Sha felt angry and uneasy about this whole thing. His grandmother used his anger to wager on his unease. The moment he said that, the bet they made was about whether he would gain weight. And if he were to rebel, then today's scene would inevitably occur. But even knowing this would happen, the two still chose to make the bet and did nothing.
