The man in white sat on the chair, his fingertips gently tapping the armrest of the chair. His voice was very light and rhythmic. He was not in a hurry to speak, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry to let Rotu explain anything. Luo Tu had retreated to the door, and then he realized that he had no way out. This person appears in front of him, even if he retreats to the ends of the earth, what can he do?
"I..."
Luo Tu opened his mouth. His throat was so sore that he couldn't say a second word.
"I like young people with ideas."
The rhythm struck by the fingers of the man in white, like magic, calmed Luo Tu's crazy heart gradually. His eyes could not help staring at the slender fingers bouncing on the handrail, as if attracted by something beautiful, it was difficult to take back his sight.
"It seems that the leading role in the world has always been a group of old people. Only when they are old can they reach the peak of life. It is undeniable that people will have enough experience and wisdom to dominate some things when they reach a certain age, but they will inevitably lack some courage and courage to change."
The man in White said slowly: What has the final say is that they are very old and feel that they are not at ease to get to this point. It is hard to have the chance to say what is necessary. Why not spend more years in this life? Change... Leave the next group of people to do it. Then the next group of people comes up to the age of age.
He looked at Luo Tu and said, "so I like troubled times very much. There will always be a group of young people who are determined, dare to fight, are not afraid of death and can change..."
"You..."
Luo Tu asked cautiously, "what do you want me to change?"
The man in white shook his head: "if you change something because I want you to change, why don't I kill you?"
His rhetorical question made luotu tremble with fear, and he didn't know how to answer.
"You're smart."
The man in white knocked on the handrail and said, "I thought you would take a risk when I appeared in front of you. But you didn't. from the beginning, you can find out how to choose. It's good. Such a temperament can keep you away from many dangers. Was that why you were favored by Luo Yao?"
Luo Tu took a smoke from the corner of his mouth, but he didn't dare to deny it.
"The day you heard that the Academy was destroyed by Yang Jian, you laughed all night. You sat in the chair in this room and laughed all the time. It was so noisy that I didn't sleep well all night."
The man in white pointed to the bed in the room: "lavender is added to the pillow to calm the mind. Haven't you slept well all the time? You're young. If you haven't slept well all the time, it's because there's a ghost in your heart. In addition... Your pillow is a little higher and it's not comfortable to lie down."
As soon as this was said, Rotu seemed to freeze!
Now, he finally knows where the man in white is terrible! When he heard that Tonggu Academy was destroyed by Yang Jian that day, he was so happy that he was a little overjoyed. So he didn't sleep all night. He didn't remember whether he giggled all night. But he did sit in that chair and think a lot of things. And the white man The man in black is sleeping in his bed!
And he didn't notice.
So, if the man in white wanted to kill him, he would have been a dead man that day. No... he would have been a dead man a long time ago.
"You think the academy is defeated and gone, but no one comes to you, so you're happy. You've been worried that the academy is coming to trouble you because you avoid Yang Jian. So you're always worried. Even if so much lavender is put in, you still can't sleep."
The man in white sighed softly, "I would be happy if I were you... However, some people's fate is doomed to be determined by others and can't break away forever from being determined once by others. Some people are different. After breaking away once, they will never be determined by others. You have no right to escape from the Academy since you accepted the heaven swallowing skill."
This seemed to announce the fate of Lotu.
"What do you... Want me to do!"
Asked Lotu.
"Do what you should do."
"No!"
Luo Tu suddenly burst out an anger from his heart: "you are so strong, why don't you go to Yang Jian? With your cultivation, it will never be difficult to kill Yang Jian. Why do you choose to let me go! If you like, Yang Jian can't destroy the Academy at all! But you just watched the Academy disappear, and now you force me! What are you going to do!"
"The academy is mine. I created it because I thought it could promote change faster. That's why I said to you before. The old people are always lazy and greedy. They are greedy for what they have and don't want to let go. In the seats in the Academy, a group of people die, a group of people sit on it, or some old people. Their greed is that they think it's good , I don't want to change anything. "
The man in white was disappointed and said: "So the academy is useless. Since it's useless, what do I keep him for? I stopped asking about the Academy many years ago and let them live and die. Yang Jian's destruction of the academy has nothing to do with me. Those people in the academy have taken the benefits I gave and done things for me for hundreds of years, and almost everything they should give back to me. And you, I just took the benefit I gave you. How can I let you avoid it? "
He stood up and prepared to leave: "there is only one between Yang Jian and you who can live. If you don't want to die, work harder."
"Why me..."
Luo Tu muttered a little silly.
"Yang Jian reached the peak by swallowing blood, and you reached the peak by sucking people's internal strength. It's against the rules, so it shouldn't exist."
This sentence was around luotu's ear, and the man in white had disappeared.
"Shouldn't exist?"
Luo Tu repeated it, then turned and shouted at the outside: "if you didn't give it to me, how could I become a person who shouldn't exist!"
He's right, but the world is so unfair.
……
……
North Bank of the Yangtze River
The fluttering tiger sitting on a big stone looked back at the soldiers resting in the distance. Many of them were injured. The medical officers in the army were the busiest people at this time, running back and forth to treat the wounded. The wailing sound is so clear that even if you block your ears, it will clearly get into people's brain.
But most of the soldiers were numb, and no one seemed to be affected by the howling. The war has lasted for several years now. From the initial rebellion in the northwest to the war that spread to almost half of the great Sui Dynasty, they have numbed them. They open their eyes and want to fight. When they close their eyes, they don't necessarily fall asleep, but die.
After seeing too many bloody scenes, it can no longer stimulate people's animal nature. Now they are like a group of walking corpses. Where are they still fighting for their ideals? They don't even fight to live. They can feel it by looking at their dull expression. Perhaps at this time, death is no longer terrible in their eyes, but a destination they don't resist.
Jin Shixiong's men and horses are constantly attacking. The defense line on the North Bank of the Yangtze River has been broken through again and again, but they have won it back again and again. The tug of war is carried out every day. People rest, drink and eat expressionless. After hearing the horn, they pick up the knife expressionless and fight expressionless.
How long can an army that has no goals persist?
The tiger is a little uncomfortable.
At first, he didn't understand why the soldiers of the imperial court were not as motivated as those of the rebels?
Now he understood that the rebel soldiers had the fighting spirit because the rebels painted them a particularly beautiful future and told them that as long as they achieved the final victory, the beauty would be within reach. The soldiers of the imperial court can't see anything beautiful.
"General!"
A soldier came and saw excitement on his face: "There's news that our reinforcements have set out and will come back from the south of the Yangtze River in a short time. As long as the reinforcements arrive, our hard days will come to an end. Jin Shixiong's men and horses are short of food and grass. Jiangbei Road and Gyeonggi road are all dignitaries and dignitaries. Even Luo Yao didn't dare to search for food too much when he was in Jiangbei. Jin Shixiong didn't have the courage. As long as the reinforcements arrived, we will be there Can fight back. "
"Fight back?"
Luo Tu took back his thoughts from that particularly confused state, but he was still a little confused: "after the counterattack? Kill a Jin Shixiong, Wang Yiqu and Gao Kaitai. Even if they are all killed, more people will appear... When can we finish it?"
It was a disaster for his army to say this from a commander-in-chief. Fortunately, he didn't say it in public, otherwise the army would collapse immediately.
"I've been thinking about why so many people work hard for a fabricated lie. Those anti thieves just draw a beautiful picture for their men and let the soldiers die one after another. Even in the face of death, the soldiers didn't shrink back... Now I finally understand why they were so fearless."
"Maybe it's not that they can't see through the lie made up by the anti thief leader. It's just that the lie is too beautiful for them to resist. To put it simply, it's because they want to change. They have had enough of that day, so they don't want the court to win. If the court wins, they will return to the past."
"Before?"
The soldiers didn't understand the meaning of attacking the tiger: "wasn't it beautiful in the past? There was no war in the past, the Sui Dynasty was peaceful and the people were safe, and the people had plenty of food and clothing. Isn't it the most beautiful thing? Is it unacceptable for the rebels to go back to the past?"
The tiger shook his head: "Maybe it's just a kind of inertia. Since the war, people don't want to go back to the past. That's the difference between you and them. If I ask you, how about going back to the peaceful time of the great Sui Dynasty? You must answer well, and you're willing to go back. If I ask the rebel soldiers whether it's good to go back to that time, they won't say good, and their answer can only be good Yes... I can't go back. "
"Therefore, they can only place their hopes on the changes after the war to make their lives better."
The soldier still didn't understand the meaning of attacking the tiger. He thought the words of the general today were too profound.
"So... Are we just or are the rebels just?"
He couldn't help asking, especially wanting to know the answer. If it was at the beginning of the war, the soldiers of the imperial court must think they are the right side. But now, although he didn't understand what he meant before attacking the tiger, he began to waver. Did he belong to the side of justice?
"Ha ha..."
The tiger smiled and patted the soldier on the shoulder: "of course, you are the Party of justice."
The soldier smiled, especially simple and honest.
The tiger went to the distance with some sadness in his eyes. He didn't want to tell the soldier that there was never any difference between justice and evil in war... Especially in troubled times. He just doesn't want to let the soldier's heart finally support his beautiful death, people live... There must be some faith to support, even if it is false.
