Chapter 283

Wadsworth?

Speaking of which, there has been basically no movement in Wadsworth since the last incident with Mavis.

Qin Chu knew Wadsworth quite well. Although he was thoughtful, sinister, and good at disguise, his personality was rough and bold. If he stayed in the imperial city, Wadsworth would come over when he had nothing to do. Go to visit the kiln with yourself... ahem, go drink or something.

But in the past month or so, Wadsworth has been quiet, locking himself in the palace without leaving the door or taking a step forward.

Looking at Carol's anxious expression, Qin Chu vaguely knew that something might have happened to Wadsworth.

Qin Chu wiped his face casually and said, "Let's go."

A trace of gratitude appeared on Carol's face, and he quickly walked to the front to lead the way.

Just when he left the palace and there was no one else around, Qin Chu finally asked: "What happened to Wadsworth?"

Could it be that he was stabbed and asked to be treated by himself? After all, there are many people who covet the throne of the emperor.

"My father..." However, the situation was obviously different from what Qin Chu expected. Carol's brows were tightly knitted together, and his face was a little frightened and pale: "My father, something is not right recently."

"I don't know how to describe it, he has a very bad temper..."

"Isn't he always very irritable?" Qin Chu was speechless.

It is estimated that no one in the entire Orville Empire can say that Wadsworth has a gentle personality.

"No, it's different." Carol kept shaking his little head: "Although my father's personality was a bit... a little bit different, he still loved us children very much, but in just over a month, My father secretly executed two princes, three princesses, and a princess..."

"Other princes and princesses were often scolded and even beaten for no reason. Several princes had their arms and legs broken."

"I'm worried that my father may have been irritated by what happened to Mavis before, so he has an abnormal personality... Your Excellency, the brave man, you have always had a good relationship with your father. Please give my father some advice."

Carol's voice was pleading.

Although Her Royal Highness has a perverse personality, she doesn't care much about royal affairs and has no interest in competing for imperial power.

However, Carol still cares about this family very much. She doesn't want to see this family fall apart and people die.

Qin Chu frowned. Carol thought that Wadsworth might have been stimulated by the multiple cheatings of the queen and princess, and the cuckolds on his head, but Qin Chu felt that this possibility was not high.

Are you kidding me, who is that Wadsworth?

That guy has huge ambitions.

He not only wants to be the emperor, he even wants to wipe out the Holy See and the Mother Earth Cult, and hold all imperial and divine power in his own hands.

Such Wadsworth's will is far stronger than Carol's daughter imagined.

In the old church of the Earth Mother Church, seeing Mavis participating in the largest gathering of the entire Bliss Witches, and even getting pregnant with an evil fetus, Wadsworth still did not lose control of her anger. In order to see through her true strength, she just Hiding in a dark place and peeking over here.

Qin Chu believed that such a man would be angry because he was betrayed by the queen and princess, and his face was shameful.

But Qin Chu definitely didn't believe that Wadsworth would be stimulated by this and his temperament would change drastically.

"Take me to see him first," Qin Chu said after pondering for a while.

Carol nodded, her slender legs crossed quickly, and her high heels made a clicking sound on the road. She even didn't care about the manners of a royal princess, and almost trotted all the way... Although Carol basically didn't Never cared about that kind of thing.

Under Carroll's leadership, in less than half the normal time, Qin Chu appeared outside Wadsworth's study.

"Father, the brave man has arrived..." Carol's slender neck squirmed slightly as he cautiously reported outside the study.

If Carol were normal, she would have kicked the door open long ago. How could he be so well-behaved?

"Brother Qin? Please come in, please come in..."

Wadsworth's urgent voice immediately came from the study. He seemed a little happy and couldn't wait to see Qin Chu.

please!

In Carol's sight, Qin Chu could feel such pleading. He nodded slightly, pushed the door of the study room open and walked in.

After closing the door smoothly, Qin Chu was immediately shocked when he raised his head and saw Wadsworth in the study.

Is this still His Majesty the Emperor?

His hair was messed up like a bird's nest, and the beard on his face seemed to be tangled because it had not been carefully taken care of for a long time. There seemed to be some weird, unknown residues entangled in the middle of the beard.

His face was pale and his skin looked almost chapped.

The eye sockets were sunken, and the eyeballs were covered with bloodshot eyes. It looked as if he had not slept well for ten days and a half.

Like Carol, he held a dark gray leather whip in his hand.

When Qin Chugang saw the whip for the first time, his brows furrowed. He always felt that his eyes were involuntarily attracted to the whip.

Just when Qin Chu was surprised by Wordsworth's current appearance, Wordsworth suddenly walked over quickly, grabbed Qin Chu's shoulders, grinned, and showed a mouthful of yellow teeth: 'Good brother, you are finally here, help me...'

This guy, how long has it been since he brushed his teeth?

By the way, has he been eating raw meat recently? Why does his mouth smell bloody?

Qin Chu's abdomen was churning, and he even had the urge to vomit. The most bizarre thing was that after Wordsworth approached, Qin Chu suddenly felt a very oppressive and very weird breath.

If you look closely, Wordsworth's face is full of gloom.

The deep of his eyes, which are covered with bloodshot on the surface, is also gloomy.

He was manic and restless, his mental fluctuations were great, and his personality was becoming more and more extreme...

This appearance shocked Qin Chu deeply. At this moment, Saya in his mind was obviously shocked by the situation of Wordsworth. During this period of time, Saya had been nestling in Qin Chu's body. No one knew what she was doing. She rarely appeared and even rarely talked to Qin Chu.

But this time, Saya couldn't help it.

"Could Wordsworth be contaminated by the evil god?"

Qin Chu's heart skipped a beat, and his face became a little solemn.

Wordsworth's symptoms looked a bit similar to the early symptoms of being contaminated by the evil god, although not as obvious as Oniens, the eldest prince, and Karsas.

But why was Wordsworth contaminated by the evil god?

I didn't throw those weird threads on him, so this account shouldn't be counted on me, right?

Qin Chu suppressed the throbbing in his chest and forced a smile. He wanted to pat Wordsworth on the shoulder, but seeing Wordsworth's current appearance, he gave up: "Brother, don't be anxious. Let's talk slowly."

It was unknown what was going on, but after seeing Qin Chu, Wordsworth's original restlessness seemed to have finally calmed down a little, and he even invited Qin Chu to sit down.

Then Wordsworth looked around and found that there was no one around, so he said mysteriously: "Brother Qin, let me tell you..."

"Recently, there have been frequent changes in the Holy See. Augustus, that old bastard, must be trying to kill me."

"Also, that woman in Santa Monica who always pretends to be young, secretly met with Augustus. What good can these two bastards get together? They must be planning to kill me together..."

"Also, my son is colluding with the nobles below and obviously wants to usurp the throne. My daughter also wants to murder me."

"My wife also wants to poison me, and then fool around with her adulterer without any scruples..."

"And those damn nobles have always wanted to overthrow the rule of the royal family. They must have been bought by Augustus and Santa Monica..."

Seeing Wordsworth's appearance, Qin Chu's eyes narrowed into a slit.

Persecution delusion!

But the strange thing is that this emperor seems to suspect that everyone around him wants to murder him, but why does he never seem to doubt himself as a brave man?

Chapter 2 is here.

Chapter 338: Brave men, standing on top of nuclear bombs? (3)

From what Wordsworth said just now, Qin Chu could tell that Wordsworth had gone a little crazy, or at least mentally ill.

But this mental disorder was a little different.

This man still firmly controlled the highest authority of the Orwell Empire, and Wordsworth was still very clear about everything that happened in the imperial city.

Augustus went to have a secret meeting with Saint Monica.

His son had private contact with the nobles.

The princess was fooling around with someone...

Wordsworth could not hide all these things.

He was worthy of being the emperor of the empire, but no matter what happened, Wordsworth seemed to be able to analyze from it that these people wanted to murder him.

His persecution delusion was already terminal.

But if that was the case, Wordsworth should be very clear that he had also had a secret meeting with Saint Monica, and even appeared before Augustus and left after Augustus.

If that was the case, then Wordsworth should have doubted himself very much, but now it looked like Wordsworth didn't doubt himself at all, and even regarded himself as the only companion he could communicate with.

Why is that?

In fact, almost all emperors suspected that others wanted to usurp the throne, even their own sons, wives, and ministers. They had almost no one they really trusted.

But Wordsworth's situation seemed to be a little more serious.

Could it be that it was just because he was a foreigner?

It couldn't be that simple.

Qin Chu thought quietly without saying a word. After a few seconds, he spoke: "Brother, not only Augustus met with Santa Monica, but I also met with Santa Monica. Don't you think I want to murder you too?"

Facing Wordsworth in this state, it was probably useless to beat around the bush, so Qin Chu still came up with a straight ball.

After hearing what Qin Chu said, Wordsworth was stunned, as if he felt a little unbelievable about Qin Chu's words. After a few seconds, Wordsworth suddenly laughed heartily. He seemed to have returned to his former appearance. His rough hands slapped Qin Chu's shoulders, as if he had heard something incredible, and he was about to laugh with tears in his eyes.

"Brother Qin, what are you talking about?"

"You are my best brother, how could you possibly murder me? Even if my own brother, son or daughter wanted to harm me, you would never do that."

Wadsworth's tone was full of affirmation, as if he was sure that no matter what happened, Qin Chu would definitely stand on his side.

Where did this inexplicable trust come from?

Could it be because he was also betrayed and killed in the first round? So he made Wadsworth, who now suspected that others wanted to kill him, feel the same pain?

But you, Wadsworth, don't know about the first round, not to mention that you are one of the murderers.

Qin Chu felt more and more strange.

Wadsworth's attitude didn't seem to be lying. If this was just his disguise, then it can only be said that his acting skills were really exaggerated.

"So many people want to harm me, good brother, what do you think I should do?" Wordsworth grabbed his hair, seeming to be quite annoyed by this question, with a pair of scarlet eyes showing a looming murderous intent: "How about getting rid of them all?"

After being contaminated by the evil god, Karsus will kill people around him indiscriminately.

Wordsworth's current situation is that he has a serious delusion of persecution, so he wants to take the initiative and kill all those who want to kill him.

Although the process is different, the result is the same.

Qin Chu took a deep breath and spread his hands: "What does this have to do with me? This is your harem, your ministers, and your country, right?"

"I can't manage it, right? Don't worry, you will definitely benefit when the time comes." Wordsworth said immediately.

Now everyone wants to kill him, and only Qin Chu is trustworthy.

Qin Chu had no idea. He had no experience in this area. He could only make up a story: "Brother, you have a lot of intelligence personnel under you, right?"

"Yes, they are all extremely talented people."

"Then expand the recruitment and build a Dongchang."

"Recruit talents, whether they are guards, maids, nuns, peddlers, they can all be your eyes and ears."

Wordsworth frowned: "Maids, peddlers? These people can also be intelligence personnel?"

Qin Chu rubbed his forehead and explained: "For example, the maids around the princess, they Maybe they don't have much power, but they can know what the princess does every day and report to you at any time. It's clear at a glance whether anyone has defiled the harem, whether anyone is wearing a hat, and whether there are princes who want to usurp the throne. "

"Moreover, these people are less likely to arouse suspicion as intelligence personnel."

"You don't have to be suspicious. Suspicious of everyone you meet, it's not too late to say it after you have definite evidence. I heard that your sons and daughters are almost scared to death by you recently."

Wadsworth didn't listen to the second half, only the first part.

That's right.

He is worthy of being a brave man from another world.

He knows a lot.

He has trained some smart and capable intelligence personnel, each of whom is the elite among the elite, but the number is not large. But according to Qin Chu, whether it is peddlers, maids or workers, they can all become his intelligence personnel.

Although these people don't have very strong power, they can always get some important information unconsciously. Especially the maids around the princesses, princes, and nobles...

If I could gather these people together as my intelligence network, then the entire imperial city, no, even the empire, would be under my absolute control at all times.
