"Out of the mountain?" the old man weighed the money bag in his hand, then shook his head and pushed the priceless money bag back.

Then, he looked directly into Jiang Huanshui's eyes and said in a deep voice: "I promised her that I would never kill anyone again." ”

"Didn't you say that they weren't human? Jiang Huanshui squinted his eyes and pushed the money bag towards the old man again.

The old man, who was born fierce, muttered for a few breaths. When he looked at Jiang Huanshui again, his eyes were filled with confusion and hesitation, and he asked, "Ah Shui, haven't you ever thought that in fact, we are also beasts?"

"Back then, you went to the Qingying Academy Palace and learned Huo Yan's way of governing the world. I went to Banzai Mountain and learned Xue Yinyang's Senluo Wanxiang Knife. ”

Banzai Mountain......

Senluo Vientiane Knife ......

These two words pierced into Ji Huanxi's heart like a sharp weapon, her face changed suddenly, and the confusion that had permeated those eyes like autumn water before dissipated in that instant, and what filled her eyes was thick with shock and disbelief.

She stared at the old man in front of her as if she had seen a ghost, and her appearance looked extremely out of shape.

Wei Lai naturally noticed her abnormality, but because of the situation at the moment, it was not a good opportunity to ask, so he also knew that he temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart.

"You use your way of governing the world to be your state pastor in Ningzhou, and the Senluo Wanxiang knife I used at the border pass clears the universe for you, I have killed too many people, but I never think about those who died under my knife. ”

Xue Yinyang said that soldiers are the weapons of great evil, and the saints have to use them as a last resort. ”

"Those guys who died under my sword are all invaders who want to enter my Ningzhou, I fight for the people, and I am upright, it is when the saint has no choice but to use it, and I have been so convinced of this for a long, long time. ”

"But then I figured out that we have the belief to defend our homeland, and they also have the obsession to expand their territory, and we are all right or wrong in our respective positions. We are all just beasts in each other's eyes, and of course the beasts of those in power behind each other. We are deceived by their preaching, and then risk our lives to fight for those in power who see us as beasts, and who will profit in the end?"

"It will not be those soldiers who died at the border, nor those women who have lost their parents and husbands. ”

"It's only the royalty who sits in the palace, the generals who tell them impassioned stories. The old man said this, and took another puff of dry cigarette, and his expression was a little depressed: "From that day on, I can no longer hold my knife tightly." ”

"Ah Shui. ”

"I've had enough of the blood, and for the rest of the decades I've been forgiving myself, for the souls who have died by my sword, or under my command. The old man raised his head again and looked at the state pastor in front of him, "What Yan Ting did is not at all different from what I told you when I left. The royal family in the high reaches of the world don't care about our lives or deaths, and your so-called prosperity is just a flash in the pan. The longer it is supported, the more painful it will be when it breaks. ”

The old man was already a little distracted when he said this, and he stretched out his hand and handed back the heavy bag of coins once more.

Jiang Huanshui fell silent, not knowing whether he was moved by the old man's words, or if he was brewing some words to change the old man's mind.

But before he could say anything, Ji Huanxi on the side couldn't hold back, she looked at the old man and asked in a deep voice: "The senior should be Yue Pingqiu, the commander of the Sanxiao Army, right?" Everyone in the world said that the old general died in the battle of Jade Snow City, but I didn't want the younger generation to see the general's heroic face today, which can be described as an honor. ”

Wei Lai's face also changed when he heard this, in his memory, the Sanxiao Army had always been led by the Xu, Ning, and Xiao families, and he had never heard of a great commander, and his gaze at the old man named Yue Pingqiu suddenly became strange when he thought of this.

Yue Pingqiu's face also changed, and he glanced at Ji Huanxi in a little surprise: "Most of the people who know the old man have already died outside the Jade Snow City back then, and most of the living people are silent about it, but the female baby has some insight and can still recognize the old man." ”

Ji Huanxi's praise for Yue Pingqiu didn't take it to heart, but he arched his hand towards the old man again, and said: "The old general is highly respected, even in today's Sanxiao army, there are still many people who remember that the old general led more than 100,000 Sanxiao troops to stop the Qichu coalition army outside Yuxue City. The late generation has always admired the old general, but today there are some things that the younger generation has to say. ”

Yue Pingqiu's eyebrows raised, he took a big puff of dry smoke, and asked with a calm brow, "What do you want to say?"

"The old general was born in the army, and his majesty once had hundreds of thousands of troops, so I should understand that the one who is the superior should control the overall situation, rather than focusing on the gains and losses of each brick and tile. ”

"The general said that the court didn't care about the lives of the people, which is not true. The people are the foundation of the society, whether Yan Ting is sincere for the people, or just want to maintain their own rule, the people can not change, although the decisions made sometimes may not be taken care of everywhere, but they are from the overall situation and the rules are customized, what the old general said, in the eyes of the younger generation, it is really one-sided. Ji Huanxi said seriously, his eyes were staring straight at Yue Pingqiu's eyes at that time, quite a bit of a woman's posture of not letting her eyebrows go.

Probably didn't expect Ji Huanxi, who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, to say such a thing, Yue Pingqiu was also stunned, but soon a smile appeared on his face.

He shook his head and said, "The girl is a little bold. It's a pity that you are too young and have seen too few things, and no matter how big the truth is, you can't understand it. ”

"How do you know that I don't understand if the general doesn't say it?" Ji Huanxi frowned, and changed his usual sleek appearance, and actually really wanted to judge the victory or defeat with the person in front of him: "I have studied reading a hundred books since I was a child, and the collection of books in the Longxiang Palace in Tailin City, the younger generation does not dare to say that I can memorize them all, but eight or nine of them are familiar with it by heart, I may indeed not be as experienced as the old general, but what I see in the book is not experience?

Yue Pingqiu was stunned again, and then pointed at Ji Huan and said, "Ah Shui, your granddaughter-in-law, there is something interesting." ”

Yue Pingqiu said this with a smile on his face, but the moment these words fell, the smile on his face suddenly dispersed, he slapped the dry smoke in his hand on the table, and said in a low voice: "I have something to be busy, these little rabbit cubs are still waiting for me to make breakfast for them, please go back, Yue has no time to entertain you." ”

Just as Yue Pingqiu didn't expect Ji Huanxi to say such a thing, Ji Huanxi also didn't expect that as the former commander of the Sanxiao Army, Yue Pingqiu would give them an expulsion order like this. She was a little resentful in her heart, and she wanted to say something more, but this time before she could say anything, Jiang Huanshui beside her stood up.

Ji Huanxi was stunned for a moment, only then did she realize her gaffe, she suppressed the words that had reached her mouth, and stood up with Jiang Huanshui, but she was silent and stopped speaking.

Jiang Huanshui didn't have the slightest intention of blaming her, he arched his hand towards the other party, looked at the heavy bag of coins still on the wooden table, and said: "The general doesn't have to be busy refusing, you have your ideas, and I also have my plans." Keep this bag of money for the time being, and if you don't allow it after seven days, you can ask my grandson to return it. ”

Jiang Huanshui said this, and before Yue Pingqiu had time to refute, Jiang Huanshui turned around and walked away.

Yue Pingqiu looked at the back of his old friend, his body was so old that he seemed to be about to fall down at any time, and he couldn't bear to spit out the words that came to his lips after all, sighed, and took the money bag back.

"Ah Shui ......"

"It's a pointless war, like I've said I've been through in the past. ”

"If you want to end this troubled world, you must have the determination to break and stand up, and you must have the courage to overthrow Dayan......"

"But this is the world left to you by Yuan Yan, you didn't give it up ten years ago, are you willing to give it today?"
