Chapter 286: What If
"Teacher, what do you think about this?" Jiang Yuetang looked up at him again and asked.
Shangguan Che was silent for a long time, and asked instead of answering: "If you go to the mountains to play, and suddenly there is a mountain rock behind you, which is menacing, you immediately run away, there are two roads in front of you, you know that just now there are ten tourists on the left road, and one tourist on the right, if you want to save your life and save others, which road will you rush to?"
One life for one person, ten lives for ten people, is it to sacrifice one person to save ten lives or to sacrifice ten lives to save one life?
Jiang Yuetang exhaled a long breath and said, "Teacher, I understand. β
Shangguan Che looked at her and said: "People sometimes encounter a dilemma, if you have to make a choice in a short time, you have to give up the small and save the big." I'm not speaking for Zhang Xun, and I don't mean to protect him at all, his behavior is inhumane, and I can't criticize it enough. However, the essence of war is a kind of violence, it is an attack, it is a killing, it is the opposite of human nature, in the face of the threat of war, people sometimes have to use extreme means in order to survive, if you look at the situation at that time, it is not so unforgivable, what do you say?"
Jiang Yuetang nodded.
Shangguan Che cast his eyes out the window and said with emotion: "War makes people cruel, if the world is peaceful, how can such a thing happen?"
"Hmm. β
Shangguan Che smiled again and said, "I still can't help but want to ask-if you were Zhang Xun, what would you do in that situation?"
Jiang Yuetang didn't answer for a long time, only smiled.
She knew that she had to find a way to save the lives of the soldiers in that situation, but she always felt that taking the initiative to kill was under her bottom line, and she couldn't break through this bottom line.
Shangguan Che saw that her embarrassment was coming, so he asked, "Will you surrender?"
If you want to save your life, it's as simple as opening the door and surrendering.
But this is the farthest idea from Jiang Yuetang.
She is not someone who gives in easily to the powerful.
So she shook her head.
Shangguan Che glanced at her silently and said, "Then I'm afraid I'll have to starve to death." β
Jiang Yuetang looked up at Shangguan Che and asked, "What if it were a teacher, what would you do in that situation?"
Shangguan Che sighed and said: "My original idea was to take the soldiers out of the city with his last breath to make the last fight with the rebels, and then die heroically, but now I am more inclined to choose to defend to the death, and I can't do this kind of thing of killing people to satisfy hunger, so just defend it, people are in the city one day at a time, and people really can't hold on, so let it be fate." β
Then, Shangguan Che said again: "Perhaps, in that situation, I will choose to commit suicide and die for the country." β
"So none of us are Zhang Xun, so if we go, it may be difficult to defend Suiyang City. Jiang Yuetang smiled bitterly.
"Yes," Shangguan Che nodded, "We are not ruthless enough, we may be able to write a first-class military masterpiece, but we may not be able to be a victorious general." β
"That's okay, someone has to write a famous book, and I'd rather be a scholar who writes books than a victorious general." Jiang Yuetang smiled.
Shangguan Che also smiled, patted her shoulder, and said sincerely: "So I still hope that the world is peaceful." β
"Hmm. β
"This topic is very heavy today, isn't it?" Shangguan Che looked at her and asked with concern.
"You can't avoid it because it's heavy. β
Shangguan Che smiled, touched her cheek and said, "After talking about so many heavy topics, let's talk about something light, if you are given a chance to become one of the three of Zhang Xun, Nan Jiyun and Xu Yuan, who do you want to become the most?"
This kind of question was a little naΓ―ve to him, but he knew that someone her age would like it.
Jiang Yuetang was really interested, and replied with a smile: "Nan Jiyun." β
"Why?"
"Mighty, upright, and righteous. Jiang Yuetang said, thinking of his deeds again, his eyes couldn't help but be hot.
Men should be like Nan Jiyun, right? She thought to herself, and unconsciously thought of Xiao Diyuan.
In time, Xiao Diyuan should also grow into a majestic and resourceful seven-foot man, thinking of this, she couldn't help but blush.
She and him may not be together at all, but for some reason she still believes that their fate in this life will be entangled, so whether it can be together or not, as long as she knows that there is him in this life, and that he is also living somewhere at this moment, it is enough.
Seeing that she didn't know what she thought of, she was suddenly a little distracted, Shangguan Che looked at the sky outside the window, it's not too early, let's get out of class early today.
So Shangguan Che took down five books on the defense of Suiyang from the bookshelf and gave them to Jiang Yuetang, asked her to read them on weekdays, and then left.
After sending Nan Jiyun away, Jiang Yuetang went back to the bedroom.
Now she doesn't need Zhen Huiyuan to help her take a bath, so she only needs Mei Xiang to hand over towels and clothes when bathing.
She also realized that Mei Xiang knew her true identity, so she relaxed a lot while bathing.
However, Mei Xiang would be very nervous every time she bathed, for fear that Mrs. Tao or the maids would come in, so she guarded the door of the bathroom like a thief every time, staring at the outside with a pair of eyes alertly.
For the sake of insurance, Jiang Yuetang wears her underwear every time she walks into the bathtub, and only dares to take off her underwear after soaking her whole body in the water, but in case someone suddenly breaks in, she takes a wide towel and covers it on the bathtub, so that the important parts of her body are covered by the towel.
Now, she is lying in the tub covered with towels, squinting and quietly enjoying the feeling of warm water and body/intimacy/contact. Her right hand rested on the outside of the bathtub, holding the string of acacia red bean necklaces that Xiao Diyuan gave her.
This acacia red bean cannot be soaked in water, so she takes it off and holds it in her hand every time she bathes.
Except for bathing, this lovesick necklace never leaves her neck.
He and she agreed to meet every two years.
Two years later she was nine and he was seventeen.
At that time, he was already a young man, and she was still a little girl.
At the age of eighteen, he will be crowned a feudal domain, and then he will go to the domain. Generally speaking, before and after the feudal domain, he will also solve his personal life's major affairs.
What if the Emperor of Shu insisted that he marry at that time? Although he once told her that his life's affairs would only follow his own wishes, but after all, he was a child of the heavenly family, and the pressure from others and the pressure of the world, would he still be able to stick to it at that time?
She suddenly became worried, and wished that she could be a few years older in an instant.
