Chapter Twenty-Nine: Two Hearts, Two Walks
Outside the west gate of the main city of the Mountain and Sea Realm, four people were already waiting there. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It is Qiu Youqing and the other three leaders.
Seeing everyone leaving the city, the four turned around and prepared to leave.
There was a voice among the silent students.
"Marshal, are you afraid of King Liang?"
As soon as these words came out, the already solemn atmosphere suddenly stagnated.
Everyone looked at it, and it was a young girl who spoke.
Yue Xi rode on his horse and asked coldly. The cold wind outside the city whistled out, dancing her hair, messy and charming, adding a touch of femininity to her originally beautiful face.
She asked what everyone wanted to say but didn't dare to say.
The four men in front stopped, but did not turn back.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Seeing that something was wrong, San hurriedly stepped forward to stop her and continued.
"Thinking that you are a first offender, quickly apologize to the marshal, how can you question your superiors as a subordinate, do you still have the discipline of a soldier in your eyes?"
Sanyi's tone was sharp, but the content did not forget to excuse her, and then he kept signaling to Yue Xi with his eyes.
Yue Xi didn't stop, just thanked Sany with his eyes.
"Marshal, I have heard that the mission of a soldier is to defend the country and protect the people. But have you really fulfilled the most basic mission of this soldier?"
Sany had a headache and almost fainted, this schoolgirl is really ...... Dare to say anything, is this questioning the mission of the marshal as a soldier?
The students all looked at Yue Xi, and their faces suddenly had respect. Then they all looked at the person in front of them, they didn't understand so they needed someone to solve their puzzles.
Trinity was about to use the majesty of the instructor to forcibly suppress this discussion, even if it caused the marshal's dissatisfaction. Sanjiu suddenly walked up from behind and shook his head slightly.
Sanyi looked forward, only to find that the marshal had turned around and was looking at the group of students.
Qiu Youqing is already old, his beard and hair are white, he wears a simple military uniform, and stands in the wind.
The wind blew the old man's hair, and his thin body stood under the tall city walls, looking so weak and weak.
But in the eyes of everyone, it is so majestic, like a god.
This is the first marshal of Gu Tang, the military god of the empire, but he was questioned by a student who had just entered the barracks.
Yue Xi looked at the eyes of the old man in front of him, gritted his teeth, and did not flinch. It's just that I regret my impulsive words just now, and every ancient Tang Dynasty person believes that they have full worship and respect for this old military god.
Qiu Youqing looked at this female student, and suddenly felt a little emotional and relieved.
I don't know how long it hasn't been questioned. Since becoming this marshal, no one has dared to say a word of weight in front of him. His words, for those below, were simply providential.
I don't know how long it's been since I've seen such an active academy. The former academy and the former students were lifeless and learned the art of war, but in the end they could only become a small officer, and could not coordinate the overall situation.
Not to mention that most of the students are from the family, and after graduation, they become the moths of the family. You must know that the academy is the academy of the empire, and the soldiers who come out of the academy should fight on the battlefield and guide the country in the barracks, instead of returning to the family and acting as a prestige!
It's not that students can't come from families, there have been children from families who have become generals and marshals in the past. It's just that as a soldier, you must first understand that the country must come before the family, and you should not think about the interests of the family all day long, but remember the mission of the soldier, and defending the country is the first priority!
Now there is finally one more student with her own ideas, and she can put the people first, even if she is so disrespectful to herself. Qiu Youqing felt that he was still happy in his heart, so he asked softly.
"So what do you think I should do?"
Naturally, he punished the herd of animals and saved the old man and the child. ā
"And what about after the rescue?"
After saving it, Yue Xi gritted his teeth, and suddenly found that he couldn't go on. She knew that once those people were saved, then King Liang would definitely come to interfere and make a stumbling block to delay their trip. This is all made clear by the previous Trinity instructor.
"I know what you mean, but I can't die without help!"
Yue Xi was a little helpless and a little aggrieved.
Qiu Youqing smiled bitterly and sighed lightly.
"I don't want to die without help. I was also angry and wanted to lead my army to level this filthy land. But I can't do that. ā
"As a handsome, we must focus on the overall situation, take into account the overall situation, not be emotional, not reckless. Because one of my decisions will affect thousands of lives. I saved those three people, but because of the intervention of King Liang, when we delayed to the front line, maybe 33,000 people would die, and it was clear which was more important. For the sake of the handsome, I naturally have to give up these three people. ā
Qiu Youqing looked at the student in front of him and continued.
"I know it might make you angry, but that's the way it is. Some things are destined not to have it both ways. Then, you have to choose to give up one of them, and your choice will also determine your future. I am a marshal, and my choice is to save more people. ā
After speaking, Qiu Youqing turned around and got on the horse, waiting there silently.
The students were silent, thinking about the marshal's words just now. In fact, they all understand that it is just difficult to accept it for a while, and if they don't experience the world, how can they easily accept this truth?
Life, sometimes heavier than Mount Tai, sometimes lighter than a feather.
Gradually, the students got on their horses and slowly moved forward.
The army set out again. The marshal and the commander were in front, the black knights were on the side, and the students were among them.
Yue Xi was riding on a horse, her spirit was in a trance, and the marshal's words had a fierce conflict with the belief in her heart, which made her have a splitting headache.
What is wrong should be corrected. What is evil should be destroyed. Isn't it a matter of course?
Is it really necessary to compromise with evil, even in the name of saving more people?
Is there really no best of both worlds?
Such a question also lingered in Chen Guyu's mind.
There is a way, Chen Guyu is very sure, but when he thought of the marshal's words, he was a little helpless: "It seems that I really can't be a qualified leader." ā
It's just that there are some things that you can't turn a blind eye to, otherwise, your heart will be uneasy.
Making up his mind, Chen Guyu looked at Ye Qianli next to him and suddenly said.
"Brother Ye, I'll leave for a while. If the instructor asks, you find a reason to cover for me. Also, remember to make some road signs. ā
"What!?"
Before Ye Qianli could react, Chen Guyu had already galloped out.
Looking at Ye Qianli's puzzled expression, Ye Sishui smiled softly.
"It seems that Chen Gongzi is still uneasy in the end!"
There are more than 300 people in the team, and the group of black knights of Sany is guarding both sides, and what Chen Guyu has to do is to retreat from the middle to the end, and then sneak out.
Because the swift horse's pace was large and fast, and the horse's hooves thundered, it should have been easy to sneak out among so many people.
It was only when he retreated to the end that he found that Trinity had just made an inspection there.
"What are you going to do?" asked Sanyi in a cold voice.
Chen Guyu secretly screamed badly, hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Report to the instructor, that ...... I seem to have eaten badly just now, and I want to go out to make it easier. ā
Sanyi looked at the young man in front of him and suddenly felt a little emotional. If it's bigger, it's really exactly the same as Chen Ce, the engong when he was young, with the same means, the same personality, and the most unwilling to see injustice. He said he wanted to go for convenience, but he was stumbling for a long time, who wouldn't see that he was lying?
Trinity was silent for a while, but said so.
"Go ahead, there may be some bandits over here, be careful. ā
Chen Guyu raised his head suddenly, he thought that he would not be able to go out this time, but he didn't want to hear the instructor's words.
"Thank you, instructor. ā
Chen Guyu felt warm and a little moved.
"Report to the instructor, I seem to have a bad stomach too, and I want to go out to make it easier. ā
At this time, Yue Xi's voice suddenly sounded.
She rode out of the team and looked at Chen Guyu with joy and recognition in her eyes.
Sanyi looked deeply at the two people in front of him, finally nodded, and returned to the place where the black rode without looking back.
Chen Guyu and Yue Xi glanced at each other and rode away.
"Boss, what if something happens if you let them out like this?"
Sanjiu suddenly whispered.
Sanyi glanced at him and said lightly: "What's wrong with them, they are not feeling well and want to go to make it easier, so I naturally want to approve it." ā
"You...... Boss, you've become shameless!"
Trinity smiled.
"If I were a teenager younger, I would have sneaked out, some things, I really can't bear it! I was patrolling in the back just now, in fact, I calculated that they would do it!"
"That boss, you still dare to approve, something really happened, you have to eat military law!"
Sanyi sighed, he didn't say how he felt when he saw Chen Guyu just now, it was so similar that he couldn't object.
"Maybe it's because I trust him, he's Chen Xiang's son!"
At this time, no one noticed that at the front of the team, Marshal Qiu Youqing inadvertently turned around, and the two departing figures were reflected in his eyes.
A smile adorned the corners of her lips.
Chen Guyu and Yue Xi galloped through the plains, rushing towards the giant city not far away.
The wind was very strong, blowing the hair of the two young men, but there was a strange feeling in the mess.
Chen Guyu looked at the girl beside him and suddenly asked.
"Why did you come out?"
"Because I can't bear it. Although the marshal was right, I was uneasy. I have known a truth since I was a child, and it is also a belief of mine, what is wrong must be corrected, and what is evil must be punished, there are not so many reasons, I have to be faithful to my faith. ā
Yue Xi's voice is very cheerful, with the characteristics of a girl, it seems that he can finally abandon his troubles, which makes people very comfortable to listen to.
After Chen Guyu heard this, he also smiled brightly, and he shouted in the wind.
"I think so too, my father has taught me so much since I was a child, hello, my name is Chen Guyu, be a friend!"
If Yue Xi and Chen Guyu sat at the same table before, they were just a little curious about each other. So this time, both of them felt like they had found a soulmate.
"Hello, my name is Yuexi, you can call me Xi'er!"
Yue Xi looked at Chen Guyu, and was also full of joy and goodwill, of course, this is not the love of men and women, but just the feeling of confidant and friend.
The boy and the girl came to the giant city with the same goal. By this time, it was getting dark, and the winter nights always came very quickly, as if it was still having lunch, but now it was approaching dusk.
The giant city stood silently on the plain, and the gates were wide open, like a monster with a huge mouth, waiting for the person to deliver it.
As the gates began to close, the sound of horses' hooves finally sounded, startling the birds.
The two entered the city, and the gates were closed.
And far away from the giant city, the large army has already set up camp, and Trinity is still training the students loudly outside. In fact, some people have already discovered that there are two students from the Tianzi Camp missing, but they have all been fooled by Sany and Ye Qianli for a reason.
In the main camp, Marshal Qiu Youqing stood at the door, looking eastward, and seemed to be able to see the main city of mountains and seas hidden in the long sunset.
"Two little guys, what the hell is hard to settle, I hope to come back safely!"
