Chapter 51: Not Enough
The candle flame was beating, and under the slightly dim candlelight, Chu Dongtian stared at Chu Jinglei on the opposite side with hope.
But Chu Jinglei's face was a little more unnatural after Chu Dongtian asked!
Chu Jinglei didn't reply immediately, but thought silently, seeing this, Chu Dongtian's heart couldn't help but tighten, could it be that Chu Jinglei was unwilling to return to Chu State? Or did Chu Jinglei no longer care about the people of Chu State, and no longer cared about the last wishes of the late Chu Emperor?
"Second brother!" Chu Dongtian couldn't help but speak again, wanting to continue talking, but Chu Jinglei preemptively said, "Brother, don't think about it, the second brother doesn't respond to you, it's not that he doesn't want to return to his homeland and revitalize the Chu State, but the second brother is thinking, after the second brother goes back, will the Chu State definitely be able to become prosperous again?"
"Second brother thinks, not necessarily! Think about it, the Chu State was able to be coveted by the Yunluo Sect in the past, won't it be coveted by the other stronger sects in the future? Of course, with the current ability of you and me, such as the Yunluo Sect and the Jinxia Sect, there is naturally no need to care about the low-end small sects, but looking at the mainland, there are too many forces that can easily crush us and crush the Chu State!"
"If we go back, it won't be true that the Chu State can't develop, those stronger sects are too lazy to take care of it because of their lack of interests, but once the Chu State recovers its prosperity again, or even becomes better, then it will inevitably attract the attention of stronger sects!"
"At that time, were you willing to give it up? Are you willing to watch the people of Chu State go from being in dire straits to being well-fed and then reduced to being poorly clothed and hungry again?"
"That's the equivalent of giving them hope, giving them a new lease of life, and giving them even greater despair!"
The more Chu Jinglei spoke, the more excited he became, and the more he spoke, the clearer his thoughts became, "It's better that you and my brother are now more ruthless for the time being, temporarily suppressing the Chu State in their hearts, and instead pursuing a higher level of cultivation, and waiting for the strength to be enough......"
After saying a lot in one breath, Chu Jinglei finally stopped, but saw that Chu Dongtian's face on the opposite side was not very good-looking.
Chu Jinglei couldn't help frowning, "What's the matter, brother, do you think the second brother is wrong?"
"It's not wrong. Chu Dongtian pondered his words, "But I always feel sorry for the people of Chu State like this! Second brother, as you said, we can also appropriately slow down the development of going abroad, as long as the people of Chu State can come out of the dire situation!"
"No! You're wrong! Brother, there is a saying that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants! When there is hope and there is a rush, no one wants to stand still, and this is true for the warriors, and the same is true for the people! Do you think that the people will be willing to restrain their lives and desires when they can live a better life?"
"This ...... Second brother, when my father-in-law died in battle, according to the news I received, everyone in the Chu State, from the officials and nobles to the common people begging, knelt down and wept bitterly. It can be seen that the human heart always has an upright, good, and grateful side, and we should not look at the human heart too darkly!"
"Hehe, maybe. But brother, the second brother advises you to think twice. The second brother thinks that there are many ways to save the people of Chu State, and there is no need to be bound to the road of direct revitalization!"
"Second brother, do you mean to insist on strengthening yourself and change it when you have absolute power?"
"Yes, think about it, when one day, the second brother's strength is enough, and he can even directly command the sects of the world, so it is not as simple as a sentence to restore the prosperity of the Chu State and even reach the peak?"
"But second brother, how long will it take? Can the people of Chu State afford to wait?"
"If you can't afford to wait, you have to wait! Because in the eyes of the second brother, this is the safest way! Moreover, the people of this generation can't afford to wait for the next generation!"
"Younger brother, the second brother has lost too much, and the second brother doesn't want to do anything that he is not sure of! Take 10,000 steps back, the father and emperor have fallen, the eldest brother has died, and the third sister has also been humiliated and died, and the real lineage of the Chu family in the Chu State is only the second brother! The second brother does things, even if he lives so simply, not for himself!"
In the end, Chu Jinglei's tone became low and depressed, which made Chu Dongtian's heart extremely uncomfortable.
Chu Dongtian thought about it, decided not to force Chu Jinglei anymore, and said instead, "It's okay, what the second brother said also makes sense." In this case, the second brother, you can cultivate the martial arts with peace of mind, and wait for yourself to be strong enough. As for the Chu State, I will go back first to take over and try to change, and I will always keep the position of the Emperor of Chu for the second brother!"
"Brother, you don't have to do this. Listen to the second brother's advice, the coming day is long, you and I are still young, don't be in a hurry!"
"No, second brother, I have made up my mind! When I saw my father and emperor fighting to the death, and then I saw Sister Yanran..... forget it, don't talk about it, I know that neither my father nor Sister Yanran will definitely not be able to let go of the people of Chu State! My father and sister Yanran have gone, if I don't have the ability, it's okay, since I have the ability to temporarily save the people of Chu State, I can't bear to watch it like that!"
"Of course, as the second brother said, we also have to leave a back road, second brother, you are the back road! If I fail, if the Chu State is coveted by a stronger sect again, if I fail, I will rely on you in the future!"
"Brother......
"Don't say it, second brother, I'll tell you a secret. Didn't the Yunluo Sect be wiped out and disbanded by me?The Yunluo Sect's martial arts resources were all placed in the ...... This can be regarded as a little bit of heart for my second brother's martial arts progress! Because I will inevitably put more effort into the Chu State in the future. ”
"Brother, ala......s," Chu Jinglei sighed long, "That's it, since you have made up your mind, the second brother won't say more." But you have to promise the second brother that no matter what time it is, you are not allowed to do stupid things, and you will not have to worry about running out of firewood in the green mountains! Moreover, as long as you need it, even if it is a sea of swords and fires, the second brother will go down the mountain and accompany you! The second brother is not for anything else, only for you, only because you are the only relative of the second brother now!"
"Okay! Second brother!"
"Brother!"
The night passed quietly.
A touch of fish belly white spit out from the edge of the sky, and Chu Dongtian got up lightly and came to the courtyard outside. Raising his eyes and glancing, Chu Dongtian found that there was a Miluo peach tree in the courtyard, and there were already some red and bright fruits on the tree.
The juice of the Miluo peach itself is bright red and red, and has a strong aromatic and sweet taste. If I crush it into juice and mix it with blood, the second brother will definitely not notice it, at most it will taste a little strange!"
Thinking of this, Chu Dongtian began to get busy, but he didn't know that when he cut his arm and bleed into the bowl containing peach juice, he was clearly seen by a pair of eyes!
Needless to say, I also know that the owner of that eye is Chu Jinglei!
In fact, Chu Jinglei woke up earlier than Chu Dongtian, but Chu Dongtian got up quietly, which aroused Chu Jinglei's suspicion and vigilance, and Chu Jinglei pretended to sleep and quietly observed.
"Strange, what does this kid Chu Dongtian mean? mixed with his own blood in peach juice, looking at it, he is still ready to drink it for me, there will be no problem in it, right?"
Chu Jinglei muttered to himself in his heart, and his eyes became more and more afraid to move an inch, for fear that Chu Dongtian would secretly harm him.
Of course, Chu Jinglei also knew that this possibility was not big, because Chu Dongtian's current strength was far stronger than his own, and if he really wanted to harm himself, he could come clearly.
But Chu Dongtian didn't know that Chu Jinglei had already woken up, and when he made a special juice, Chu Dongtian even tried to drink a small sip first, and said softly, "Yes, there is nothing abnormal, the second brother must not be able to detect it." After the second brother drinks it, it will definitely be able to smoothly integrate into the second brother's body, bringing some changes to the second brother's body. According to their situation in the east of the border, the strength of the second brother will inevitably increase, but I don't know how much it can be increased?"
"Forget it, don't care, let's give it to the second brother first!"
Chu Dongtian walked towards the room with the special juice he had made, but he didn't know it, and all his self-talk Chu Jinglei heard clearly. Moreover, Chu Jinglei had already stayed and hid behind the door, and when he saw that Chu Dongtian was about to turn around, he rushed back to lie down on the wooden couch, pretending to have just woken up.
Naturally, Chu Jinglei's heart was also extremely shocked. Listening to Chu Dongtian's meaning, it seems that Chu Dongtian's blood actually has the ability to help people improve their strength, but I don't know if there is a limit and how much it will help him?
Thinking about it, Chu Dongtian pushed the door in, but saw Chu Jinglei who had just sat up and was about to stay.
"Second brother, are you awake? It just so happened that I just saw that the Miluo peaches in the courtyard were bright and attractive, so I picked a few and ground them into juice, I have already drunk a cup myself, the taste is quite good, second brother, you can taste it too!"
"Yes, yes, yes, but brother, it's not the second brother who said you, this kind of thing should have been done by the second brother for you to drink!"
"Hey, second brother, you and my brother, why be polite?"
"That's right!" Chu Jinglei pretended to be polite, and immediately took the juice handed by Chu Dongtian, and then took a sip first, and then drank it in a big gulp.
Wiping the residue from the corner of his mouth, Chu Jinglei praised, "Yes, I don't know if it's an illusion, the second brother has also drunk Miluo peach juice before, but he always feels that it is not as fragrant as your brother! Maybe it's because the people who make it are different, right?"
"Hehe, as long as the second brother likes it, I will stay here for two days, and I will make peach juice for the second brother to enjoy these two days. ”
"Hey, that's not necessary, it's too much trouble. ”
"It's not troublesome!" Chu Dongtian shook his head, but saw that Chu Jinglei's face changed slightly. Chu Dongtian knew that it was Chu Jinglei who swallowed the juice containing his own blood, and there was already some kind of change in his body.
But Chu Dongtian didn't say anything, but said, "Second brother, your face is wrong, maybe it's because you didn't rest well last night." Do you want to practice and meditate?"
"It's okay!" Chu Jinglei glanced at Chu Dongtian deeply, and sat directly on the ground.
Half an hour later, Chu Jinglei got up, and the different color in his eyes flashed. Indeed, after drinking the juice containing Chu Dongtian's blood, Chu Jinglei found that his body seemed to be stimulated to a certain extent. How to say it, it's as if the cells in the body speed up fission, and the already solidified tendons and veins also get some expansion, resulting in more explosive power!
In addition, there are some changes that cannot be said for the time being, lurking in the body, but expectedly, it must be a good thing!
But Chu Jinglei was quite scheming, pretending to be confused, and did not say the specific situation, but just said, "It's strange, why is it that after cultivating for half an hour today, not only did he not feel that his state had improved, but his muscles, muscles and veins were sore?"
"So?" Chu Dongtian frowned, thinking of a possibility. That is, Chu Jinglei has broken through to the realm of Pifu, and his physical fitness has solidified, and the blood he has drawn may not be enough, which has only caused Chu Jinglei's body to have a tendency to change and progress, but it has not really reached the level of change.
Thinking of this, Chu Dongtian's brows relaxed, "Second brother, maybe it's because I've been too tired lately, forget it, since cultivation doesn't have much effect, take me for a walk in this Jinxia Mountain and talk." ”
"En, cultivation is not in a hurry, where is it important to accompany my younger brother?" Chu Jinglei agreed and walked ahead.
