Doomsday Code

Chapter 338 Determined

After hearing what Chen Cheng said, Huidun was silent for a while, and finally gave a powerful comment.

"It seems that I still need to practice. Even if that day really comes, my current methods may be fooled by those old guys in Holmes."

Huidun couldn't help but sigh.

However, Chen Cheng showed a disdainful expression and said:

“If you want to be a king, then you must resolutely abandon these treacherous methods, because if you use them too much, you will find that you are becoming less and less like a human being.

A king is just a political machine. His rule may be stable while he is in power, but the treacherous troubles he leaves behind after his death may very likely bring a country into the abyss.

As a king, you must do things that are upright, use your imperial power to tame your subjects, and rule the people.

In this way, those treacherous people will naturally have no loopholes to exploit, and those who are mediocre and useless will naturally be exposed in the light of day."

Chen Cheng is really teaching Huidun how to be a king.

The worst thing a king should do is to play power games and let those below guess his thoughts. This may be beneficial to his own rule, but it is harmful to the country.

And Chen Cheng absolutely did not want Huidun to become a typical feudal monarch after becoming king, because then many of the things he was doing now would be meaningless.

Huidun looked at Chen Cheng's serious expression, thinking about the meaning of Chen Cheng's words, and finally nodded and said:

"I will remember your teachings. I am trying to seize power not for the power itself, but to survive. If I want to survive, I must also think about the survival of my subjects."

Huidun could not guarantee that he was a wise king who could make the country prosperous. The only thing he could guarantee was that everyone had food to eat, a house to shelter from the wind and rain, and clothes to cover their bodies and keep out the cold.

These are also his lifelong pursuits.

Just like Huidun City, he came before Chen Cheng came, so there were no evil forces in Huidun City that threatened the lives of ordinary people.

Before there were banks and exchanges to boost the economy, when this place was still a dilapidated border town, he even paid out of his own pocket to subsidize and repair public facilities throughout the city.

Before the factories were built up, he exempted most of the taxes here, so that people here no longer had to live in rags and go hungry like before.

And before he was exiled, even though he suffered all kinds of insults and abuse in the royal capital, he never had the idea of fighting for power.

However, after he was exiled here, he was still being bullied while trying to develop his territory, and his life was even threatened by his own brothers.

He exploded.

He just wanted to live, but his brothers didn't want him to live.

Although Chen Cheng didn't know whether Huidun would really do what he said today in the future, at least until now, Huidun was still doing what he said.

Just as Chen Cheng would support Huidun.

It was only after he learned about Huidun's political measures that he really made up his mind to help Huidun, because he didn't want the person he was helping to be a cruel person.

Chen Cheng took a long breath, then stood up and smiled at Huidun:

"Then I wish us all the best."

Huidun also smiled and said:

"May all your wishes come true."

Then Chen Cheng poked his chin and said:

"By the way, your housekeeper or something should check this out. This kuei leaf is very rare, and looking at the precise dosage of the poison, it is obviously controlled by humans."

Then Chen Cheng picked up the cooled tea leaves in the cup and looked at them.

"Also, your tea has been changed. It's not the one the tea merchant gave you before, but a similar one.

If I hadn’t felt the taste of the tea was not right the moment I took a sip today, I wouldn’t have realized that the tea was poisoned.”

It would have been fine if Chen Cheng didn't say anything, but as soon as Huidun said it, his face became gloomy again.

He didn't expect that someone would poison his food.

This tea is poisonous, so is the food also poisoned?

Then Huidun took a long breath and said:

"Don't leave so quickly, brat. Can you identify the poison? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare the food now. Check to see if there is any poison in the food."

Huidun's words were certainly not groundless. When Chen Cheng came before, a servant brought him a cup of ordinary tea, but he drank it for a long time and didn't feel anything. Later, it was Huidun himself who realized that the servant had brought the wrong tea.

So Chen Cheng was obviously fooling him, he didn't understand tea at all.

And he could detect the poison in it, which means he could recognize this poison without any smell or adverse reactions.

Moreover, since he just called out the name of the poison, we know that he has definitely come into contact with this kudzu leaf, otherwise he would not have said that the poison is very rare.

Huidun's guess was almost correct. Chen Cheng actually couldn't taste the poison. He could tell it was poison because it paralyzed his perception of energy in his body.

When he and Samlett were fleeing, Kui Ye helped them a lot.

Every time he found a vent, Samlett would take out a gun and light it. He would then use the wind to bring the smoke to the people chasing him, causing them to riot. Then he would take Chen Cheng and quickly escape.

Naturally, Samlett also told Chen Cheng how to distinguish this essential thing for escape.

Just now, Chen Cheng saw the leaves of Kui Ye while drinking tea, so he recognized it as Kui Ye at a glance.

However, Huidun now wants him to stay and check the food, but he can't taste it, so how can he check it?

However, thinking that Huidun was already deeply poisoned by Kuiye, he finally nodded and said:

"Well, let them serve the food quickly."

Chen Cheng is not being overconfident. The biggest function of this thing is to paralyze energy perception, and there is a variable magic and energy storage magic in his body now.

You can feel it as long as you take a bite and then activate this variable magic.

If there is a problem, just stop it immediately and it won't cause any harm to you.

Soon, a servant was called in to pick up the broken teacups on the ground, and Huidun said indignantly:

"You ungrateful bastards, you actually managed to steal things from me. If Brown hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known that you would have exchanged my tea for cheap waste."

When the servant who was cleaning up heard this, his heart started pounding. Fortunately, he was not the servant who served tea.

Soon the butler was called over, and Huidun scolded him again.

After Chen Cheng persuaded him a few more times, Huidun calmed down a little and said:

"Go, tell the kitchen staff to prepare a feast for me. I want to invite Brown to dinner."

The butler was severely scolded by Huidun. After receiving the order, he nodded and bowed and immediately went downstairs to ask people to prepare.
