Life is also what I want and what I want. Both cannot be obtained, and it is the one who sacrifices life to achieve righteousness.—————"Mencius-Gaozi".

"How dare you threaten me..." Arif Zahrani's pupils tightened and she said gritted her teeth. At this time, the hall was becoming more and more chaotic. Security personnel from Saudi Arabia, the United States and the Soviet Union were using the cover of the chaotic crowd to start to retreat quietly to the exit of the hall. They wanted to withdraw from the hall immediately and get weapons. As long as there were guns in hand, only a few militants were of course not a problem for them.
The old Prince Sultan and all the royal relatives and nobles of Saudi Arabia were shocked, especially the elders of the Zahrani family of Arif did not believe that Arif, who had always been gentle and elegant, would actually carry a pistol and hijack the king. The old Prince Sultan shouted sternly: "Arif Zahrani, Allah is above, do you know what your actions mean? You have blasphemed the dignity of Allah and the Saudi kingdom. Do you want to be a traitor?"
Arif's father Hassan Zahrani was so anxious that he was sweating heavily, and the lattice scarf on his head was soaked. He begged loudly: "Ali-Don't do this, put down his gun! The great Allah will blame you, I beg you!"
Arif Zahrani smiled coldly and ignored him. His eyes were staring at Princess Kasinna below the stage. He shouted: "Kashina, do you agree or not? As long as you swear to be my wife before Almighty Allah and be loyal to me forever, I will let the king go; otherwise everyone will die together!"
Kasina's face turned pale when she heard this, and she couldn't help but want to break free from Liu Ming's arms and rushed to the stage. Liu Ming pulled her behind her and looked up at Arif on the stage. Arif also looked down at this time. The two's eyes collided in the air, causing fierce sparks.
One was full of anger, shame, anger and viciousness, the other was pride, domineering, brave and contempt, and the two men had a special conversation.
At this time, King Fahd, who was held hostage by Arif, suddenly spoke. His voice was not high and very calm, but anyone could hear the anger and disappointment behind the calmness. He said to the old Prince Sultan in the audience: "Sultan Abdul, I announce my appointment to you in the name of the king of the Saudi Kingdom, and you will immediately take over the position of King of the Islamic Kingdom of Saudi Arabia."
The audience was in an uproar. It was obvious that King Fahd's statement was never compromised. This openly gave way to the throne expressed the old man's unyielding spirit and the Saudi nation's spirit of not fearing life and death and violence.
"Your Majesty--" Sultan Abdul shouted, his heart was like a knife in his heart, and he began to regret taking Liu Ming into the wedding scene. He did not expect that the wedding would end with the scene of the king's bloodshed.
George Bush also had a serious expression at the moment. Although Arif Zahrani's identity is confidential, many people have probably guessed that he has a close relationship with the United States. Once he kills the Saudi king in public, the next situation will be out of control for the United States. World public opinion will inevitably link this bloody incident with the United States, and the Soviets will definitely jump out and desperately promote the United States to plan the murder.
"Then...once this happens," George Bush's expression was unprecedentedly serious, "the credibility of the United States and the free world will be completely wiped out, and all third world countries will connect us with conspirators and executioners, and the Soviet Union will take the opportunity to replace us. In any case, no matter what - we must stop the life of this bloody crime!"
He turned his head and happened to meet with Bell Leicester's serious gaze. Both sides exchanged their eyes with concern. George Bush began to feel that many of the ideas of this guy he had disdained before were correct. This person - George Bush looked at Bell Leicester seriously - this person is a real expert on the Middle East issue. His views are considered to be true insights. If he has the opportunity to form a cabinet and become president in the future, then such people should not be left out.
At this time, Prince Khalid outside the palace had already known the scene in the hall. He could no longer hold back and immediately commanded the soldiers to attack the hall. At this moment, because there was no time to destroy the line, the snipers who had occupied a certain position began to shoot the lighting facilities of the palace. Due to the installation of silencers, the gunshots did not sound, but the headlights of the palace went out one after another, causing panic among the guards and began to fire at the hidden position of the scorpion. Although the scorpion had few people, they were all elites who had been through many battles. They were very restrained in shooting and fighting back. They only greeted the legs of the Saudi soldiers, but the gun hit, and the Saudi soldiers had fallen in one minute.
Prince Khalid was furious and immediately ordered the armored vehicles and tanks to attack the Poison Scorpion's position. At the same time, he ordered the Saudi National Guard at the Prince's Military Base in the suburbs to reinforce the palace. Although the tank did not fire, the form of the Poison Scorpion was already very critical. If anti-tank weapons were used, it would be equivalent to opening a public war with the Saudis. Chief Kusey was still in the hall. Therefore, Captain Serimi was very nervous. His face was as calm as ever, but he secretly prayed in his heart: Allah bless the Chief, we must leave quickly!
The guests in the hall suddenly heard the gunshots and became even more panicked. Jonathan Terry's machine gun could no longer control the situation, and some guests had already begun to escape outside the hall. At this time, Kudlin Mikhailov and Ragorbachev whispered: "Comrade Secretary, it's time for us to leave. It's too dangerous to fight here later!"
Gorbachev shook his head, smiled, and said proudly: "You are wrong, Mikhailovic! Now is the most important place in the entire ceremony. The future of us, the United States and Arabs, will be decided at this moment. Should we give up this great historical moment like this? Should we stand here and see the birth of history with our own eyes!"
Kudlin Mikhailov looked at the young central secretary and suddenly felt admiration in his heart. He had not had this emotion for a long time. Whether facing Andporov or Chernenko, he did not have this kind of shock from the bottom of his heart. "Maybe - Mikhail Sergeevich can really rescue our Soviet Union from many difficulties and lead us to the top again!"
At this moment, Arif yelled in anger: "Shut up! Even though you are the king, I will break your head if you talk nonsense!"
King Fahd smiled quietly and said proudly: "I am no longer the king of Saudi Arabia. The king now is His Majesty Sultan Abdul. In front of you, there is nothing more than a devout believer of Allah and an old Saudi man who is not afraid of death!"
Reeve was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to do. King Fahd put away his majestic expression and looked at the heartbroken Kasinna and Liu Ming with a calm expression, and said kindly: "Kashina, Uncle did something wrong in your marriage! Allah is here, I want to apologize to you!"
"Your Majesty--" Kasinna's eyes were covered with tears, and she fell in Liu Ming's arms and cried.
"Now, as a Saudi religious imam, I declare that you and Abdullah have become legal couples witnessed by Allah. Abdullah, this Saudi princess, my niece, will be given to you for your care, and you must not let her suffer any harm!" King Fahd said seriously.
Liu Ming's shock was hard to describe. He felt his respect for King Fahd. This respect was often given to ordinary Iraqi soldiers fighting on the battlefield, and never to leaders and nobles of Arab countries. Although King Fahd had never read Mencius, he knew what sacrificing one's life for justice and what sacrificing one's individual for the sake of the country.
He slowly reached his hand to his waist, where his powerful gun was there, and he decided to rescue King Fahd by force. Liu Ming let go of Kasinna and pulled her behind with one hand. Kasinna was suddenly pushed away by Liu Ming, and he quickly turned around and looked at Liu Ming in panic, not understanding what was going on. Liu Ming handed her a look, asking her to attract Arif's attention, and then slowly walked forward by himself.
"Ali - why do you do this? In my impression, you are not such a person! You are so elegant and understanding-" Kasinna immediately understood Liu Ming's meaning, left his arms, shouted at Arif with tears in her eyes.
"Kashina-River felt ache in his heart and his hands trembled as he heard Kashina's shouting.
Liu Ming slowly clamped the cold and heavy pistol, and a familiar sense of security came from his hands to every corner of his body. "Don't let me down, baby!" Liu Ming quietly hid the pistol behind his back under the cover of Kasina's body, and his eyes carefully observed Arif's expression.
"Damn it - he must divert his attention!" Bell Lester in the stand cursed angrily. Before Vice President Bush nodded, James Cookie had jumped out of the VIP stand and ran to the center of the hall. James Cookie knew that Arif had lost control at this time. He was like a mad dog, and he bites whoever he saw, and the owner of the United States was no exception. Therefore, the best way now is to get rid of this mad dog as soon as possible. He deeply regretted that he chose Arif as a pawn, and now he must make up for his choice.
"Arif Zahrani, what are you doing? Put down your weapons-" James Cuch rushed to the audience and shouted at Arif. An American official shouted at the hijacking king, which immediately caused a commotion in the entire venue. Vice President Bush bit his lip and finally couldn't help but curse in his heart: "This idiot! This idiot!" But Bell Lester knew that James Cuch was right. If time was delayed, Arif's behavior would be more difficult to control. Once he killed the king, the consequences...

Arif looked at his immediate boss James Couch who was roaring at him in the audience, and his heart moved and his hands relaxed a little. Under the influence of James Couch for a long time, Arif had developed the habit of obedience. At this time, James Couch said in a deep voice: "Put down the gun, Arif! This is not what you should do. You have a bright future and a prominent life experience, and you should not get into it!"
After hearing this, Arif smiled bitterly, his eyes immediately turned red, and he roared in his heart: Yes, I have a bright future and a prominent life experience, but if you hadn't pulled me into the spy organization, would I have today? He bit his teeth and shouted viciously at James Kuch: Official! This is the order given by the Chief himself, I must execute it!"
There was a huge uproar in the field, and people's shocked eyes immediately fell on the Americans. American officials immediately felt as embarrassed as rats crossing the street. No one noticed a trace of silent communication between King Fahd and Liu Ming's eyes...
James Kuch said softly: "Child, don't do stupid things! You are a good guy, and you haven't made a big mistake yet! You are still young, we can start over again!"
Arif Zahrani smiled miserably and started again? Haha—Sir, can I start over? Didn’t you say that from the day we entered, we lost ourselves and our souls, and only obeyed and obedient? In front of Allah, I have lost my soul! I have lost my self, and I have started over again from there?”
As he said that, his expression went crazy and he roared: "You deprived me of everything, you caused the situation today, you have to pay the price!" He raised his gun and aimed at James Cuch. He heard two shots of gunshots, and the screams of women came from the hall. James Cuch paused, looking at the large red flowers blooming on his chest in unimaginable...
