The worst-case scenario envisaged by Shinnosuke Akabane did not happen as expected. Due to Miyamoto's desperate plea, Qiao Rulai's heart finally made a decision, leaving only Yama Taixiao and Tianhai Guangliu to help, and then privately let the remnants of Xijianliu return to Dongying.

What happened inside the Righteous Qi Villa is not clear to outsiders. Qiao Rulai's own behavior of advocating has aroused the righteous indignation of the people of the Central Plains.

And after the end of the first battle in the spirit world, Wenren Qingran did not go with Shi Yanwen and the others, and directly returned to Cangxia Mountain alone to recuperate for a few days, and then took the Ghost Night Pill to the Zhengqi Villa, ready to ask the Shi family about the follow-up treatment.

However, at this moment, the atmosphere in the Zhengqi Villa was extremely awkward and subtle. The crisp voice was unbelievable, and the girl looked at Qiao Rulai and asked seriously, "You let the murderer go?" ”

"Not bad. It was I who decided to leave behind the mastermind who led the invasion of the Western Sword Stream, and the rest of the prisoners of war should be withdrawn from the Central Plains. ”

"The mastermind? I don't see the mastermind who ordered the sacrifice to kill ninety-nine pairs of boys and girls. ”

"The priest is willing to atone for his sins."

"Atonement? If I remember correctly, as soon as the fire demon dies, won't Mamoru Kiriyama and Yagyu Ghost cry die soon? What is the significance of this form of atonement? ”

Suddenly feeling that the other party's reply was ridiculous, the girl was very puzzled and continued: "Qiao Rulai, when I first came in, I heard many people say that Xiao Daxia advocates the private release of prisoners of war, is this true?" ”

"This ......"

Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, Qiao Rulai admitted, "Not bad." ”

"I'm sorry, but I can't quite understand your mindset."

His eyes were already slightly unkind, and he replied in surprise: "Xiao Daxia, who was originally innocent, actually wants to bear the guilt for others?" ”

"Alas, this is a voluntary act of the master, how can Qiao Rulai stop it?"

"That's not the reason. The pursuit of fault should not have relied on the voluntary awakening of sinners in the first place. And it wasn't Xiao Daxia who made the mistake at all, how can you let him bear the guilt on his behalf? ”

"I understand. However, even if I can't forgive, even if I kill Xijianliu's people, I can't recover my past regrets. The dead will not be resurrected because of this, but will continue to increase hatred, and nothing will be solved at all. ”

It was not that there was no hesitation in his heart, but a decision made after careful consideration, Qiao Rulai covered his chest with his right palm, and said in a difficult tone: "In addition, if I really kill them, it will become revenge." This practice is only spreading hatred. Now we cut off their hands for revenge, and when they return, will we come to avenge their offspring? If the only thing that drives them to act is revenge, people lose the ability to judge calmly. So, I can't do that. ”

"I can't agree with it. Killing is not the way to solve the problem, is it right to indulge evil? ”

The seemingly reasonable answer was heard in the girl's ears, but it was still completely unacceptable. Qiao Rulai endured the doubts and defended: "It's not connivance, but that the people of Xijianliu have the will to atone for their sins." Instead of recreating the senseless killing industry, it is better to look at the future of the Central Plains and Dongying. ”

"Then, you ignore the opinions of others and directly base the future in your mouth on the suffering of the bitter lord of the Central Plains?"

"Miss Wenren wants the Dongying people to atone for their sins with death so much?"

"No, I'm not from the Central Plains, and I don't hate Xijianliu as deeply as you. It's just that you can not kill people, but you should let the guilty stay and make amends. The absurdity is that you just let a few people who voluntarily accept the deployment of others stay, what is the point? ”

"However, if the Akabane military division is left, the power of the Western Sword Stream will be greatly reduced, and if there is no good plan to sit in the town, Dongying may regenerate civil strife. At that time, the war on the other side of the coast will be renewed, and will it be another tragedy? ”

"So you mean that a sinner doesn't think about his own future before making a mistake, and needs a victim of suffering to take care of him?"

"I just don't want to hurt the people anymore. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It is precisely because we have experienced the most cruel pain that we should be more considerate of others. ”

"This is what the Dharma taught you?"

“……”

And even if there are 11,000 kinds of suffering, the murderer who personally ordered the blood sacrifice of ninety-nine pairs of boys and girls is not worthy of forgiveness in the eyes of the girl. And Dongying's invasion was not out of compulsion, why did the Central Plains bear the bitter fruits in the end?

Deeply influenced by Wen Renran, Xiuxin did not feel that what Qiao Rulai said was correct, nor did she have the slightest willingness to compromise, so she simply left out of sight.

"Oniya Pill will be handed over to you to deal with, and I won't take care of the affairs of the Central Plains in the future. In Daddy's words, the gap between our minds is too big, and we will go our separate ways in the future. ”

"Girl, girl...... However, there are still many things to deal with at present, and I will explain them later when I have time. ”

Qiao Rulai's sigh fell, and He Wentian on the side was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Qiao Rulai, I am a rough person, it is better for you to think completely." However, in this matter, I wholeheartedly agree with what she said. Five years, five whole years. How many people were sacrificed in the Central Plains to regain the huge territory from Dongying. How can he be worthy of the many martyrs who sacrificed his life, and how can he be worthy of the innocent people who died tragically? ”

"Senior He ......"

"Don't persuade me. I just hold some words in my heart and don't vomit unpleasantly. And since I ignored Shi Yanwen's relationship with the Tibetan Mirror and promised you to dedicate this life to the Central Plains, I have no intention of breaking my promise. I can accept any decision that is beneficial to the Central Plains. If you insist, I will also be on your side. It's just that everyone can't help but criticize this, and I hope you can still bear it. ”

"Alas, thank you seniors for your understanding."

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

At the foot of Cangxia Mountain, Huo saw a handsome woman with a pink and white forehead and a clean and crisp crown robe standing at the foot of the mountain.

Stunned to see someone coming from the foot of the mountain, he recognized the woman's appearance, and when he heard that people were happy, he stayed where he was, and asked uncertainly: "Ah, Shi ...... Aunt Ghost Slave? ”

"It's me."

The old acquaintances and elders reunited in a foreign country, and Fang Cai's unhappiness seemed to be diluted a lot, and Wenren Qingran approached curiously, and asked happily: "Why did you come here?" ”

The ghost slave raised his hand and put it on the top of the girl's head and stroked it gently, and said, "Your father wants you to wander alone, after all, it is not very convenient." That's why someone sent me here to take care of you. ”

"Oh, are they okay with Daddy and Grandpa Yi?"

"It's business as usual."

Roughly relaying the recent situation of the suffering, the ghost slave then asked, "How are you doing during this time?" ”

"It's funny, it's just ......"

After detailing what had happened in the past few months, Wen Ren Qingran grabbed the arm of the ghost slave with joy, opened the conversation and complained for a moment, and finally said: "Anyway, I don't like to care about this kind of thing very much, just don't go to Zhengqi Villa in the future." However, Aunt Ghost Slave, are you okay with coming here? Let me tell you, some time ago, it was mentioned here that the Jade Sage had an illegitimate daughter outside. ”

"Bastard, ghost fairchild?"

"Hmm~, I thought so at first. Later, though, the truth became clear. Actually, Sister Stone is the daughter of the Mirror Man. And the Jade Sage and the Tibetan Mirror Man are twin brothers, so Sister Shi should be a relative of Qiao Rulai. ”

Compared with the calmness of hearing people's clarity, the ghost slave can't digest all of this chaotic relationship for a while. After a long pause in stroking the girl's soft palm, the ghost slave relieved himself and asked, "The Hidden Mirror Man and Shi Yanwen are twin brothers?" ”

"That's right."

Surely nodded calmly, Wen Ren Qingran stared at the ghost slave again and took a closer look, as if he had found some big trouble, and asked solemnly: "Auntie, you are dressed like a jade saint compared to the three brothers of the Shi family, is it really okay to be seen by others?" ”

"It doesn't matter. Master Zun said that the screenwriter behind this world has a shady scene. The Eagle Girl will definitely not be able to come out of the fifth play. ”

"Hey?!"
