- When Wang Chi's words said the last word, Ruan Luo raised his slightly lowered head a little, his eyes were full of puzzlement, he didn't say a word again on the surface, but silently asked two words in his heart: Choice?

Maybe I should have put you down as early as halfway through. Wang Chi sighed softly, this is my mistake.

Ruan Luo still didn't say anything, although he felt a trace of Wang Chi's disappointment in him, he didn't think that he could persuade Wang Chi to keep him from being disappointed. He really wanted to say to this king that as a monarch, cherishing one's life is not just because of fear of death, but that the safety of the monarch is related to the stability of the entire government and the opposition, and this kind of thing should be treated with caution and strictness in nature.

It may be too late to retreat now, but if the group of Assassins gathers one after another and forms a siege, then it will be dangerous to leave.

Why didn't the emperor go? Because he has enough counterattack power around here? Ruan Luo did not have this mood of waiting and watching, his mood at this time may be similar to those assassins, that is, there is only one emperor, and people cannot be resurrected after death. Even if the Imperial Court guards who were going to kill all the assassins in the vicinity in the end, as long as one of the Shining Gods lost His Majesty, then today's incident would still be an irreparable defeat for his side.

Just when Ruan Luo was slightly distracted, hesitating whether he could say his thoughts directly to the already annoyed king in front of him, he heard Wang Chi ask slowly: Do you know what would happen to Ruan Chenggang if the person sitting across from me here today was Ruan Chenggang?

Suddenly hearing Wang Chi mention his father, who had been dead for many years, Ruan Luo couldn't help but twitch his shoulders, but he didn't know how to answer. This was an unanswerable question for him, when Ruan Chenggang died of the plague, Ruan Luo was barely over five years old, and what his father looked like was gradually blurred in his memory, not to mention his impression of his father's temperament and personality.

Wang Chihui suddenly asked this question, but he didn't expect him to really answer anything. It's just to condense his attention, but he didn't expect that after a moment of silence, he replied: The younger generation doesn't know what the late father will do, but the younger generation knows that if the late father is in today's environment, he will definitely worry about your safety at the first time.

Although Ruan Luo said the mean words of the rules, his tone was very sincere, but Wang Chi seemed to be immersed in some kind of reminiscence at this time, and did not pay attention to Ruan Luo's words, but said again: If it is Brother Chenggang here. He might be surprised for a moment. Then he asked me. How many people did you bring? How far away is your shadow guard? Did the guards inform you? Anyway, that's all there is to it, and when he is done, he will probably choose to enjoy the scenery with me, and one after another assassins dressed in black and masked in black cloth will pop out like fleas. Then he was beaten down and kicked to the ground by the guards who jumped out of nowhere.

Wang Chi suddenly had a smile on his face, as if he remembered something that made him feel very interesting, he glanced at the environment on the first floor of the teahouse, and then continued: Brother Chenggang will probably feel that this place is too closed, and he has to find a higher location to see the whole picture of this good show.

Somehow, Ruan Luo suddenly felt that his eyes were a little sluggish.

Wang Chi's heart drifted away, and when he said those words, it was as if he really saw Ruan Chenggang sitting opposite him. I asked him those questions, and then I asked him to watch the play in a different place.

And at this moment, Ruan Luo's thoughts about his father suddenly hit him like a tide.

It is only when people encounter heavy setbacks and are in difficult situations that they think of their loved ones who should be their closest relatives, but who are far away. But after so many years of living alone, Ruan Luo has learned to take on the affairs of facing his body. Such a fragile side has long been hidden by him.

The box containing the helplessness and grief of his youth, he had not opened it for a long time. No one around him mentioned his long-dead father to him, and coupled with his usual busy affairs, it was naturally not easy to remember. However, once I remember it again, this loneliness, this sadness, it is as if a current of air that has been suppressed for too long has finally found a break, and it is difficult to control the agitation.

If his father was here, would he really do what Wang Chi said?

If my father would have chosen to do this, he would probably have chosen to follow, right?

Just when Ruan Luo was stunned, he heard Wang Chi say: You sit down. He didn't hesitate to do anything, and sat down as he said.

You probably didn't know that more than ten years ago, Ruan Chenggang could have been without dying. Wang Chi continued to speak, and he sighed deeply, when the Wang family's army attacked Kyoto from the north to the south, the army was divided into three groups. Lin Shan's group went first, and the number of people was also the smallest, mainly to find out the news of the road ahead. My group has the most people, and you can see why you can see why. The third group was Nguyen Cheng Gang, who started almost at the same time as me, but he was a little slower because he was responsible for carrying heavy siege vehicles.

Although Lin Shan's group was groping forward, the whole process was quite smooth, and at most there was no danger. My group was not far behind him, and I didn't encounter any major obstacles. Only Brother Chenggang's group, walking at the end, no one answered, because the load was heavy, and the team in front of me was gradually far away, and I was most afraid of problems, but unfortunately there was an accident.

The path he was going to take had been explored by Lin Shan's group. For the passage of heavy siege vehicles, it is required to be fast, and it is necessary to ensure the stability of the road conditions, but not to be afraid of the obstruction of small forces. Of course, there was no problem with the road prepared by Lin Shan's group for Brother Chenggang's group, although it was within the jurisdiction of the Sichuan Army, but at that time, the Sichuan Army had naturally disbanded.

Just imagine, passing on such a path should be the smoothest, but there are some things that cannot be controlled by human brainpower, such as natural disasters. The Sichuan region has always been poor, bandits are rampant, and there were wars in those years, and people's livelihood was even worse. The people there had no food to eat, except for grass roots and tree bark, and even bats from the caves in the mountains and rats from the fields were caught and eaten. Many people died of starvation on the roadside, not to mention that there was something to wrap and bury, and after a few heavy rains, the plague broke out.

These things that Wang Chi said are really some years ago, and Ruan Luo was only four or five years old that year, except for mentioning the word plague that killed his father and almost killed him, he still can't help but feel a little chilled, but about the events of that year, he has forgotten a lot, that is, he remembers the pile of corpses waiting to be burned most clearly.

The corpses of those infected with the plague should not be buried, otherwise the plague will spread out of the soil and kill more people, so the plague can only be burned to eliminate the plague. Ruan Luo remembered that when the hill of sick corpses stacked in the pyre was burning, the shape of the gray smoke rising into the sky was always twisted and could not be stretched out smoothly. The sound of burning is not as crisp as that of Chai He, and it is impossible to tell who is who in the end, and it is twisted into a pile of mixed white ash.

At that time, his father already had signs of coughing and fever, and he didn't care that he ran out of the tent to see the pictures.

Thinking about it now, he can only sigh deeply like Wang Chi.

Perhaps it was because the bruises caused by the past, whether it was for his best friend or for the people of Nanzhao, were too heavy, and Wang Chi couldn't help but take a deep breath again halfway through this story, and then he restrained his slightly fluctuating mood, and continued in a gentle tone as much as possible: Actually, he could have bypassed that area and changed cities and counties, which would only cost him five more days, but he still chose to move forward according to the time plan we had originally set......

In fact, it doesn't matter if the time is delayed for five days, Lin Shan's side was a day late and knew that he was blocked by the plague on his side, thinking that he would make a detour, and the arrival time would inevitably be delayed, so Lin Shan's side had already done another remedy, and he also took the risk, disguised himself as Jane Cong and entered Kyoto, and instigated several officials as internal responses......

Later we learned that the last monarch of the former Zhou court was not so strong; In addition to the Zhongzhou Army, the army of the previous dynasty still had some strength to hold on, and the other two had already succeeded or failed; The government and the opposition of the previous dynasty moved the capital in a hurry, and most of the people's hearts had already moved, perhaps instigated from the inside, which was more effective than those heavy weapons built for siege.

But...... Brother Chenggang wanted to keep his promise, but he fell into it. He knew that there was a poisonous mist floating in front of the road, but he still had to move forward, would anyone think he was stupid to do so afterwards? But that's his character, if you can't avoid it, then go straight to deal with it. He used to say that the closest distance between two places is to take a straight route.

No one had the divine power to predict the future development of things, and if Kyoto in the previous dynasty was as strong as the castle tower of the Northern Goose, then Brother Chenggang's choice at that time played a decisive role. Although those heavy weapons were not used much in the end, it is undeniable that Brother Chenggang's choice was correct or not. He deserves to be my advisor and my confidant, he not only has wisdom, but also courage!

Ruan Luo finally believed it, and he believed in a somewhat depressed mood what Wang Chi said about his father's choice that had been dead for many years.

He believed that if his father was sitting at the table at this time, he would definitely ask Wang Chi the questions he had just mentioned, and then choose Wang Chi's choice.

But before he also made a choice, he still had to borrow his father's meaning and ask Wang Chi a few questions clearly-
