Chapter 15: A Sense of Powerlessness

"Actually......"

The man stuffed another piece of beef into his mouth.

"The Qin people didn't have to die so much, after all, the royal family was all dead, but guess why the people above are still killing all these years?"

"Why?"

The man pretended to smile mysteriously and took a sip of his drink.

"Oh, you mean. The person next to him seemed a little impatient.

"Alas...... It's not my brother, I won't tell you, but it's all confidential......"

The man looked sorry.

"You told me, I invited you today!"

The man smiled and said, "Okay, they're all brothers, what can't you say!"

"The reason why he is still killing is because the Qin State has not really died yet. ”

"But aren't all their royal families dead?"

"You don't know this! Where is the royal family at the root of a country, in fact, it is the national fortune that they control!"

"What is the national fortune?"

"This is what I went to the palace a few years ago, and an old eunuch secretly told me that national fortune is the most fundamental wealth of a country, only those who have royal blood can control it, and can have a large and small impact on the country's people, and with national fortune, those Qin people still have roots, so other countries can't absorb the ordinary people of Qin into their own people, and they can't absorb it, they can only keep killing. ”

"Then you mean, the fortunes of the Qin State are still in the hands of the Qin people?"

"It seems that this is the case, yes, at that time, the four countries joined forces, and they couldn't find it when they searched through the Qin King City. But I think there's another possibility. ”

"What is possible?"

"I heard that when the elites of the four countries gathered in the Qin King City, the twelve generals and thirty-six junior generals of my Chu State came out together, and there were many secret masters in the royal city, and Xishu and Donghao also sent a lot of elites, but this Nanguo was the only one, and there were only three people who went to the front and back. ”

"Among them, there is also a waste king, a poisonous minister who does not practice martial arts, and his real combat power is only one poisonous general. The other three of us suffered losses in this battle, but they were good, and they went to three and returned four. ”

"Although when the partition was divided later, it was said that as long as the princess of Qin was alone, the rest of the land treasures would not be wanted, but who would believe it! Would a person with such a good poisonous appearance put away the treasures and bring back a woman from abroad for his own waste?"

"But that woman is the princess of the Qin Kingdom, she was a well-known beauty in the entire continent back then, and even our former King of Chu lost the throne for her......" The other retorted with a look of fascination.

"That's what I said, but with her and the treasury of the Qin State in front of you, which one do you choose?"

"This ......" he actually really showed a hesitant expression, but soon said with a smile: "Then I still want the treasury, after all, with money, what kind of woman can't find it." ”

There was a trace of contempt on the face of the man in between: "That's all you have, Nan Guo doesn't think like you." ”

"You mean ......"

The man nodded.

"I think that the national fortune of the Qin State must have been hidden and taken away by Nanguo's poisonous appearance! With the national fortune of the Qin country, other things are considered a fart! After taking the national fortune, and then using the name of the princess to make profits, it seems to be a loss, but in fact it is a big profit, it is really worthy of the poisonous phase, and it is a good calculation!"

"Listening to what you say, it is indeed possible, but it is really poisonous to do this, so many people died in the Qin State in vain, if it is taken out and each country absorbs a little, then the people of the Qin State can at least die less. ”

"It's not poisonous, how can you call him poisonous. ”

"That's ...... too"

————

Li Xiaokuan couldn't hear what the two of them were talking about, he had already been shocked long ago, if Yan Liang hadn't reached out and held him down, he would have pulled out his legs a long time ago.

Li Xiaokuan's hands trembled and he looked at Yan Liang helplessly.

When he was in Li Luo Village before, he also encountered several officers and soldiers checking people, but the intensity was not very strong, and he just asked the village chief to take a formality. In addition to him and Shi Ke'an, there are also many outsiders in the village, who have been safe and sound all these years.

But this time it's noticeably different.

If Shi Ke'an had a household registration in the Chu State, it would be okay, but the problem was that she didn't.

Seven years ago, Li Xiaokuan fished her up from the pile of dead people, and the people who could float in the Qiandao River that year didn't need to guess at all.

So over the years, he has never asked Shi Ke'an about her past, largely because he doesn't want to evoke her sad memories.

If it was found by those Chu soldiers, Li Guiyuan would definitely stop it, and Li Xiaokuan didn't dare to think about what the outcome would be.

"I ......"

"I'm going back......"

Yan Liang didn't say anything to mock this time, but just pressed Li Xiaokuan's trembling hands tightly and told Li Xiaokuan two words with his mouth.

"Don't panic. ”

Li Xiaokuan shook his head, broke free of Yan Liang's hands, and stood up and walked out in despair.

He was scared.

He was really scared, he hadn't been so scared in seven years.

Even when he saw the corpses of the river for the first time seven years ago, and the scarlet blood in the river splashed on his face, he was not as frightened as he is today.

He always thought that his heart had long been as solid as a rock, but today he realized that it was just that the softness in his heart had not been touched.

"Li Yu! Stop!"

Yan Liang chased after him from behind and grabbed him.

"You let me go, I beg you, let me go back......"

Li Xiaokuan's tears couldn't stop flowing.

Yan Liang dragged Li Xiaokuan to a remote alley corner, pressed him against the wall, stared at his eyes and said word by word.

"I understand how you feel right now, that's how I've been here for the past seven years. ”

"The more you have to be calm at this time, you have to think!"

"If you think about it, what's the use of you going back now?"

"I ...... Go and save them......"

Li Xiaokuan choked up a little.

"What do you save?"

"I'm going to save them......"

"What do you save!"

Yan Liang roared.

"You go and save them, and then you take your life, and you deliver the kingdom to the enemy. ”

"What about the thousands of people who are still suffering in the land of Qin, who do they rely on to save them?"

"Let me tell you, if you are an ordinary person, I Yan Liang will not stop you today, but you know what you are carrying on your own body, your life is not yours alone, you remember it for me!"

"But what can I do......"

"I can't do anything, I can't do anything......"

Yan Liang looked coldly at Li Xiaokuan, who was in tears, and as soon as his hand was loosened, he still sat on the ground.

"I don't want to accept it until now, you are such a coward, you will actually be my only hope for Daqin. ”

"Okay, you go, kneel in front of them, put Qin Guoyun's hands on it, and see if they can let you live. ”

"I, the Qin people, have suffered enough over the years, I don't want to bring them another false hope, we can't afford to bear this toss. ”

After speaking, Yan Liang turned around and left, leaving Li Xiaokuan alone to cry bitterly.

Li Xiaokuan cried on the ground for a long time, almost venting all the grievances over the years through tears.

He misses Shi Ke'an, he misses Li Guiyuan, and he misses that warm little courtyard.

He missed his home even more on a distant Earth, his parents who were a little older.

He didn't dare to recall these things all along, but today, he couldn't help it.

Gradually, he suddenly remembered that when he and Yan Liang first met, when he knew about Qin Feiyu's death, that man had also buried his head and cried like himself, but soon he cheered up, and he could no longer see his sad appearance.

He, they, have suffered a lot over the years.

Although Yan Liang's tone of description was an understatement, Li Xiaokuan could still feel the anger and resentment behind it, but more importantly, he was unwilling.

Li Xiaokuan suddenly remembered that there is something that can make countless people firm in their beliefs and make countless people move forward, and its name is faith.

Qin, this word alone is the faith of countless people.

For the sake of faith, although he died nine times, he still did not regret it.

Li Xiaokuan reached out and touched his chest, and the heart inside was beating strongly.

"Wait for me. ”
