Chapter 728

"Elder Nie's character is admired by the younger generation!"

Yang Xuanchong and Nie Tianqing respectfully saluted and said, "now I finally understand why the horse bandits can last for hundreds of years."

"It's really admirable to have such a virtuous person as Mr. Nie. However, the younger generation has always had a question."

"Although many inheritance and rules must not be violated, they must also be integrated and keep pace with the times."

"Take the cave for example. I think the ancestors of the horse bandits were forced to set this rule."

"At that time, natural and man-made disasters, war and chaos, only hiding in the mountains can save themselves."

"But now it's different. The world is peaceful. I don't think predecessors want to see horse bandits continue to live in caves like primitive people for generations?"

Nie Tianqing heard this and couldn't help sighing, "in fact, what you said is one of the reasons why Guo Feihu rebelled."

"Oh?"

Yang Xuan wondered, "what does his rebellion have to do with this?"

Nie Tianqing sighed and said, "I know what you just said. It's helpless for all ancestors to live in caves."

"But in this era, it is no longer necessary."

"The rules set by our ancestors should naturally be respected, but we should not blindly respect them."

"The age is changing with each passing day, and the whole world is changing every day. If we don't reform it, we will only be gradually eliminated by the times in the end."

"So I put forward the idea of restructuring at the alliance conference and proposed that we slowly break away from the cave and move closer to the city."

"After we go down the mountain, we can start a company and do trade. The only way out is to connect with the world."

"The rules set by our ancestors lie in their spirit, not in their form."

"It's like fasting without blood, not bullying the poor, never colluding with foreign countries to do things that harm national interests, etc. These are the essence of the rules set by our ancestors."

"As you said, we horse bandits can't live in caves forever."

"But when I put forward this idea, it was opposed by Guo Feihu."

"In his view, this is a blasphemy against the ancestral precepts, so we have ideological differences."

"The growing differences eventually led to today's disaster. Alas, through this matter, I learned that the reform can not be completed in a word or two."

"He needs years of foreshadowing and accumulation, and even generations to complete it."

Yang Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this!

I didn't expect Nie Tianqing to think so, so his plan will be better implemented next.

"Master Nie, I agree with what you just said in the first half, but I don't agree with what you said in the second half."

Yang Xuan said quietly.

"Oh? Then I'd like to hear Mr. Yang's advice."

Nie Tianqing said.

Yang Xuan nodded. "You just said that reform is not a simple thing. I agree with you."

"You said it would take a long time to pave the way and precipitate, and even several generations to complete it. I agree with you."

"But I would like to add that special cases are handled specially. For example, in my opinion, it doesn't take too long for Ma bandits to complete the restructuring."

Nie Tianqing was stunned. "How do you say that?"

Yang Xuan took a deep breath, looked at each other and said, "the difficulties I just heard from my predecessors are ultimately a core. Your reform idea will not be recognized by the other Ma bandit branches."

"If this matter is solved, will the restructuring soon come naturally?"

Nie Tianqing said with a bitter smile, "I also understand this truth, but it's not easy to get their approval."

"Not to mention that the ideas inherited for hundreds of years have been deeply rooted in their minds, but now what they think most is their own interests."

"Although we live in caves now, we have all kinds of ways to seek benefits."

"These methods are already familiar to them. If they are reformed, it means that all these methods should be abandoned to open up a new field."

"But old and new is a matter of great risk. They will never do anything that threatens their interests."

After listening to Nie Tianqing patiently, Yang Xuan said, "if anyone can do it?"

Nie Tianqing was stunned, "who?"

Yang Xuan pointed to himself, "if you are not talented, you can try, and I am absolutely sure!"

Nie Tianqing was shocked when he heard this, "Mr. Yang, forgive me for being frank, although it's not difficult to see that Mr. Yang is a rare young talent."

"But with the horse bandit thought inherited for hundreds of years and the current complex situation, it is really impossible to pry."

"But I'd like to hear what Mr. Yang thinks."

Yang Xuan shook his head gently. "Before I answer this question, can I ask your predecessor something?"

"Well, you say it."

Nie Tianqing nodded.

Yang Xuan asked, "if we succeed, complete the restructuring and migrate from the cave to the foot of the mountain, it is almost impossible to wash white in a short time due to the nature of the horse bandits. Does this elder agree?"

Nie Tianqing nodded and said, "of course, we are horse bandits after all. Even if we move into the city from the cave, we can't get rid of the identity of horse bandits."

Yang Xuan asked again, "what will you do if you go down the mountain?"

Nie Tianqing said, "of course, he continues to fight with them. In essence, he is still similar to the horse bandits, but the form and means are changed."

Yang Xuan asked again, "then I'll ask you another question. From your ancestors to now, maybe you will move into the city from the cave in the future. You can't help fighting and fighting."

"But I want to know, is fighting and fighting itself the ultimate goal you pursue?"

Nie Tianqing sighed, "whoever is born is willing to fight and kill. War and fighting are just means."

"If we don't kill others, others will destroy us. In order to protect ourselves, we can only fight constantly."

Yang Xuan suddenly opened his mouth and said, "if I say now, I have a way to let everyone wash white completely in the near future, stop fighting and killing, and live a normal life. I don't know what my predecessors think?"

"Ha ha ha ha ha!"

Nie Tianqing burst out laughing. "Since our ancestors created horse bandits, there was nothing we could do."

"If the world is peaceful and everyone can have enough to eat, who is willing to become a bandit?"

"It is the wish of every generation of horse bandit leaders to thoroughly wash white and live a normal life."

"But this is impossible for us, because we have the blood of horse bandits. From the beginning of our birth, we are destined to have many enemies."

"If we put down our machetes one day, I'm afraid it will be the day of our destruction."

Yang Xuan shook his head. "I don't think so. As the saying goes, nothing is absolute in the world. I have a way to not only let my brothers put down their machetes, but also live a normal life in peace and contentment."

"Oh? What can I do?"

Nie Tianqing became interested.
