Chapter 336: Chapter 336 The Battle of Two Rulers.

Who should they choose? This was also a very difficult problem for Zhou Yu. On one side, it was the fragile Queen, who would be excessively kind to criminals, and on the other side, it was the dark vengeful tyrant, who was close to losing his mind. No matter which side he chose, it seemed like people of the Prisoner’s Kingdom would still suffer.

However, it was Zhou Yu himself who caused this dilemma. It was he who said to Xiao Yue that she also used the royal password to gain control of the robot police. When the two conflicting orders were sent out, they would be regarded as invalid orders and the robot police would refuse to execute any one of them.

“Xiao Yue, how come you…!?”

Xiao Guang was dumbfounded, watching Xiao Yue in shock. The onlookers were also talking to each other, not knowing what happened to those two people. The kingdom has just regained its order, would it fall into a power struggle again?

“Older Brother, I still remember the words of my mother and teacher. The future of Prisoner’s Kingdom is about forgiveness. Those real criminals have been exiled, but Teacher Shi Honglie was not wrong. His ideology could bring the Prisoner’s Kingdom into a new era. Older Brother, he also saved you, as a royal family, you should be grateful.”

However, Xiao Guang didn’t listen to Xiao Yue’s words at all. His mind was now in a mess. The only person he trusted in the past five years has actually taken a knife and stabbed him from behind during this critical moment. It hurt him a lot.

Seeing Xiao Guang was hit hard by the shock, Zhou Yu felt very embarrassed. It was he who single-handedly caused the conflict between the brother and the sister, and it really made him feel like he was a big evil guy manipulating them behind the scenes.

A king, a queen, both had the power to command the robot police, so the situation became very strange. Especially in terms of governing the kingdom, the brother and sister had two completely different ideas. Since they could no longer rely on the power of the robot police, the decision-making power of the kingdom fell in the hands of its citizens.

Xiao Yue had the support of the Free Army, and her force was the strongest. If she wanted to use force to claim the throne, Xiao Yue would most likely win. However, because of imprisonment for more than five years, the majority of the ordinary people were dissatisfied with the Free Army, so Xiao Guang had the support from most of the ordinary people.

When Xiao Guang and Xiao Yue were confronting each other, Zhou Yu walked to Shi Honglie, who had returned from the springboard.

Shi Honglie stared at Zhou Yu with bright eyes: “Is this how you write stories? Xiao Yue is a very indecisive girl, and it is impossible for her to do such a decisive thing. Inciting the two rulers to confront each other, what benefits do you want to gain from it?”

“Old man, you finally started to doubt others. It’s your turn now. Isn’t this the best time for you to convey your ideas to the public? If the stalemate continues, the Prisoner’s Kingdom may split into two kingdoms. Although it’s much better than before, you don’t want to see a split, do you?”

Upon hearing this, Shi Honglie understood that this was the stage that Zhou Yu built up singlehandedly, and it was the best time for him to spread his message. In the past five years, he has repeatedly improved and expanded his ideology. He was confident that he would be able to achieve true freedom.

“Then again, whether you support Xiao Yue this queen or not, you still would not escape your punishment. Inciting civil unrest in the kingdom and causing social unrest, you need to prepare to spend the rest of your life in prison. I will design a library-like prison for you, to ensure that you will not be lonely.”

Zhou Yu said very decisively that even if Shi Honglie supported Xiao Yue to gain control of the kingdom, he would still not let Xiaoyue pardon Shi Honglie’s crimes. Although he could escape being exiled, he would still need to spend the rest of his life in prison. However, it was also not that bad if he could carry on conducting his study in prison.

“I am very looking forward to your story.”

Shi Honglie didn’t care about what would happen to him, as long as he had the opportunity to spread his ideas.

Then he started to give a speech like a teacher talking to his students. It was so boring that Zhou Yu almost fell asleep.

In Zhou Yu’s mind, whether it was a queen or a king in the end, the role of robot police would not be changed, so whether it was to maintain the old rule or make any improvements, at least, it would be people’s own choice, which was a good start.

However, the development of the situation was beyond Zhou Yu’s expectations.

While Shi Honglie was giving a speech in a passionate manner, another group of people also started giving speeches. This group of people were the followers of Zhou Yu. Unwkongly, they have already gathered a big group of believers.

In the end, these believers began to ask Zhou Yu to go to the stage to tell them which side he supported. No matter who he chose, they would listen to him.

Zhou Yu was a little dumbfounded. The number of this group of believers was a bit alarming, plus he was indeed the hero, who successfully saved the kingdom, so he was a very popular figure amongst the ordinary people.

Shi Honglie was also stunned by this. His speech hasn’t even finished yet, but he was defeated by a guy, who hasn’t said a single word. He, who only focused on improving his ideology, didn’t understand that although his ideology was great, what ordinary people wanted, were realistic things. They would rather believe those who had helped them in the past, than those who promise them a bright future.

Zhou Yu was also speechless. He had tried very hard to allow those people to vote for their own future, but in the end, it still needed him to decide it for them. But this kind of blind following was not good at all.

Anyway, since they wanted him to decide, he still needed to think about whether he should choose a Queen or a King?

However, looking at the two little people, Zhou Yu really didn’t know who he should choose at all. To be honest, neither Xiao Yue nor Xiao Guang was fit to be a ruler, one was too kind, and the other one was too cold. And the most important thing was that their age was too young. They would be easily influenced by the people around them.

Of course, if they continued to study and correct the shortcomings, they may become a good king or queen in the future.

However, Zhou Yu did not have this much time. He has already been staying in this place for more than 3 weeks, and if he continued staying here, the possibility of survival would become slimmer and slimmer.

Shi Honglie stepped down in dismay. Originally he thought that he had improved his speech skill and knowledge in the past five years greatly, and this time he would definitely be able to win the support of many people, but he didn’t expect that this would be the outcome.

“I’m sorry that I didn’t live up to your expectations. Like you said, I am really a fool, and I should be focusing on my own studies.”

Shi Honglie stepped down from the stage, and Zhou Yu was pushed onto the stage. Looking at the tens of thousands of people under the stage, it was time to test his speech skill. After all, he had never stood on such a stage before.

As soon as he got on the stage, the crowd was filled with various cheers and applause, as if he was a superstar. It made Zhou Yu feel very embarrassed for a while.

However, which one should he choose?

He had chosen Xiao Guang before, but he could not clear this level. So did it mean that he should choose Xiao Yue.
