On the official road from Shurijo Castle to Naha Port, the palms, betel nut trees, and green Ryukyu pines reflect a long reflection in the moonlight, and the four of them walk unhurriedly and chatting as they walk to the port......

At the third watch, when they arrived at the warehouse in Naha Port, Su Ba opened the outer door of the warehouse, and everyone walked in with their horses.

The house was turned over by Zhang Gou'er, and there was no place to put his feet, and as soon as Su Ba entered the door, he lay on the ground and cleaned it up, and he didn't let others help.

Vacate a place and invite Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er to sit on the only stool in the room, Su Ba continued to lie on the ground, piling the items that should be brought on a sheet......

The dog scooped up the contents of the sheets and looked closely at the contents, which were full of belongings, not even knives.

After untying Su Ba's outfit and putting it on his bed, the dog handed Su Ba the short knife he was carrying, and said, "Brother, take this with you for self-defense." ”

Su Ba invited the dog to sit down too, waved his hand and said, "Thank you brother for your kindness!" Truth be told, this kind of thing will never touch my hands again. ”

The dog thought about a conversation with Luo Amin when he was in the carriage:

"Auntie, do you think people will change?"

"Silly boy, in the past few years in Nanjing, you and I have changed."

"We have all changed, but after the vicissitudes of the world, my uncle has not changed......"

……

Su Ba in front of him, it is difficult for people to connect with the high-spirited and powerful Dongchang criminal officer, thinking of those past events, the dog's eyes wandered unconsciously, and he muttered in his mouth: "Will he change?" ”

"Is that Lin Feng?" Su Ba asked.

The dog laughed, lowered his head, and said nothing.

Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er also looked at the dog, guessing that the "he" that the dog said should refer to Lin Feng.

"Hehe," Su Ba smiled: "It will change, in fact, good and evil are all in the difference of one thought, even if Lin Feng is hard-hearted, I firmly believe that he will definitely change." ”

Hearing that Su Ba was so sure, Ling'er smiled and said, "A few days ago, when we were on an envoy to Luzon, if we brought Brother Su with us, maybe there wouldn't have been such an accident. ”

"Brother Su has a chance, maybe it won't be too long, Lin Feng should come to Ryukyu, and after you leave this time, you don't know if you can come back, it's a pity." Guo Yi sighed.

Su Ba replied solemnly: "I don't care where I'm hiding, as long as you need me, I'll show up, but if I'm hiding, please don't look for me." With that, he and Zhang Gou'er began to put away the room.

"You're leaving, it's time for me to live here in the future." The dog muttered.

"Brother, two generals, I just have something to explain to you, I have lived in Ryukyu for more than a month, I have been visiting secretly, I should know that I have almost mastered it, Ryukyu is not a place for you to stay for a long time!" Su Ba sighed.

Guo Yi hurriedly asked, "May I ask Brother Su, where did you start with this?" ”

Su Ba said: "You see, there are three ports in Naha Port, namely Naha Port, Tomari Port and Anchea Port, these three ports are controlled by the Naha Shi clan, Shuri Shi clan, Boshi clan, Kumi Shi clan and other forces, the entrepot trade interests between Japan, Korea and the Ming Dynasty are huge, the situation is complicated, the prince in order to prevent the Japanese Kou, can be described as scheming, but his influence is also limited to Naha Port, and now there are Westerners mixed in, King Shang Yong is young, The government was controlled by Ma Liangbi, the uncle of the pro-Japanese faction, and Shi Zhengzhen, the chief of the pro-Ming faction, respectively......

"Now that the horse pedal is the governor's pipe belt, and the saddle is promoted by the city boss, King Shangyong has the prince and the concubine by his side, is it still unreliable?" The dog asked.

Su Ba replied worriedly: "Brother, what you think is too simple, the princess is running out, I can also feel that the concubine does not seem to be grateful to the princess, but is very close to the pro-Japanese Ma father and son." I guess that this concubine doesn't know the identity of Sister Ah Ping, and if she knows that Luo Wenlong's two daughters are in Ryukyu, the consequences will be even more unimaginable! As for the two brothers, Horse Shovel and Saddle, their ability to do so for a few days, only God knows, you can't help but take precautions......

At this time, Guo Yizhen was reluctant to let Su Ba go, and sighed: "If Brother Su doesn't leave, it will really be a blessing for the Ma brothers!" ”

"Brother Su, why do you have to leave the Ryukyus with those few widows?" The dog asked.

"For that treasure map, I also worked hard, and now I have won the trust of Ma Liangbi's father and son, and even become Ma Gongzi's confidant, but because of this, I offended the prince, and I didn't have a chance to explain to him, and Ma Liangbi's father and son didn't know that I was helping General Guo, if I continued to Ryukyu, I would only cause chaos for everyone as a disabled person......"

After listening to Su Ba's heartfelt words, the three of them were very moved, and Ling'er comforted: "We will also entrust someone to take good care of your family in the capital." ”

mentioned his family, Su Baqiang held back his tears, introduced the details of his son and two daughters, his wife, and his mother, and said that he couldn't cry anymore while covering his face......

didn't know how to comfort Su Ba, Guo Yi was silent for a long time, and persuaded: "Brother Su, please don't mind, compared to Yan's father and son, you are much luckier......"

Su Ba wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said: "Back then, I thought I was a motivated person, and I once shouted in front of the sky: I work hard, I am very motivated, God! Why have you been so unjust to me! Now that I think about it, how ridiculous it is......"

"Yes, no matter whether it is a prince or a general, as long as it is a human being, it is actually the same cheap life." Zhang Gou'er sighed.

Su Ba replied: "General Guo reminded me just now! You see that Yan Song worked hard to climb in the first half of his life, and reached a position of extreme power and power, but in the second half of his life, he was greedy for money and degenerated, and after his death, he was infamous through the ages, his son Xishi asked to behead, the whole family was in prison, and he died in extreme sorrow in his deflated years. ”

Ling'er persuaded: "Don't mention the past." ”

Maybe Su Ba felt that if he didn't say something again, he might not have a chance to say it in the future, so he said: "General Xu, the past may have passed, and the same story is still going on, just like Brother Gou'er said, as long as it is a human being, it is actually the same cheap life, even the head of the dynasty is no exception, maybe only the royal bloodline can escape for the time being." However, please think about it, Qin and Sui II died, Li Tang and the two Song Dynasty were only more than 200 years old, and when the building was about to collapse, the life of the royal family was even cheaper than ants......"

In Guo Yi's opinion, Su Ba's words were undoubtedly rebellious, but he could also hear that he had something to say, so he hurriedly glanced at Xu Ling'er and gave him a look.

"To be honest, don't look at me and Sister Yi'er going north and south, in fact, we are all scheming people, although we have worked hard for the court, I don't know what will happen in the end, Brother Su, if you have anything to say, just say it." Ling'er preached.

"Then I'll just say a few more words." Su Ba got up from the ground, probably because of the pain in his legs, he seemed to be in great pain, gave Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er a deep salute, sat back on the bed, and then said:

"The two generals don't let the women have their eyebrows, what you do, I see it in my eyes, remember it in my heart, and I am full of respect for the two generals, the shame of Jingkang, after the cliff mountain, and the trouble of the southern and northern captives in the Jiajing period, all make me and other Chinese people remember it vividly, and in the future, the scourge of the Japanese is still a big trouble for my Ming Dynasty! Maybe you don't think it yourself, but your actions are comparable to Yue Wumu in my opinion! ”

"Brother Su has won the award, in fact, many of the things we are doing right now are done as a last resort, how can we dare to compare with Lord Yue Wumu." When Ling'er said this, she smiled and sighed: "As long as I have a banquet in the Ming Haiqing River, the old men in the official mansion will be as jealous and hateful as Lord Hai, and the world will be peaceful." ”

Su Ba hurriedly shook his head, seemingly disapproving.

Guo Yi knew about the festival between him and Hai Rui, and said with a smile: "Lord Hai is a well-deserved first official in the world, and it is impossible to expect all the officials to be like Lord Hai, I just hope that the lords of the government will follow the way of gentlemen, which is a blessing for the people of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Su Ba stood up, hugged his fist at the west, and said loudly: "The sky is above, back then, I was tempted by the devil and did a lot of things to the sea lord, please forgive me for my ignorance!" Today, I am willing to bear all the pain of the world precisely to atone for my sins. Today, Lord Hai is already a saint in my mind and a model for being a man in the next life, but may I ask General Guo, can the old men of the government practice the way of gentlemen? ”

Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er listened to Su Ba's question, and they were stunned, not knowing how to answer this question.

"Aren't the officials familiar with the books of sages since childhood?" Zhang Gou'er also asked curiously.

"Hehe, now that I have nothing to do, let's take a round of what is the principle of heaven. When the sage said, 'At the beginning of man, his nature is good', he is saying that he is too good, and when Xunzi says, 'human nature is evil', he is saying that he is too bad. Brother Dog, you just said that people are all the same cheap life, from 'born of the heart' to 'sex is the reason why it is born', that is to say, sex is brought by nature, and the opposite of sex is false, and hypocrisy is the meaning of man. Therefore, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faith are all false. ”

Speaking of this, Su Ba seemed to be very touched, shook his head and continued: "Which person doesn't want to be a good official as an official, I was involved in officialdom at the beginning of the year, the so-called gentleman, everyone is disguised, the higher the official position, the more he understands that the world is as black as a crow, and he unknowingly becomes a hypocrite." And the sage just divides people into gentlemen and villains, all gentlemen are hypocritical, but villains do not lose their nature, over time, the world's scholars, officials and masters will only do superficial articles, and all living beings are called villains, losing their thinking and discrimination of heaven and humanity, everyone lives to this point, hehe, in fact, they are all with animals. ”

Xu Ling'er shook her head while listening, and when Su Ba finished speaking, she asked, "Brother Su, listen to your words, is the saint wrong?" ”

"Hehe, the saint is right, Lord Hai has personally practiced the words and deeds of the saint, and has been praised by the whole world! But I hope that everyone can practice the words of the saints, I am afraid it will be difficult to go to the sky! The difference between a gentleman and a villain, in fact, is just like what we talked about at the beginning, good and evil are all in one thought, and gentlemen and villains are also in one thought, hypocrites who do villain things with the label of a gentleman, I dare to say, except for Lord Hai, all the old men in the Ming Dynasty are all there, even Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the dynasty, I think his future fate is not much better than Yan Song! ”

Su Ba said this, with an impassioned look, perhaps, the judgment of Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the current dynasty, is what he really wants to express.

Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er both showed a surprised expression, looking at Su Ba and not knowing what to say, at this time, they heard Su Ba whisper:

"And labeled as a villain, and then want to be a gentleman......" Su Ba said this, shook his head, suddenly raised his voice, and said loudly: "I'm afraid it's harder than climbing to the sky!" ”

Zhang Gou'er was deeply touched, nodded while listening, and asked, "Brother Su, can you crack it?" ”

Su Ba replied: "Yes! Brother Dog, two generals, you should be able to understand now, when I was in Nanjing, why I only used villains, and never used gentlemen. You've all seen it too, who broke me? ”

"Hehe, Zhu Hui and the dog brothers are both teenagers by nature, and they haven't learned to be 'pseudo' yet, you have lost in the hands of these teenagers." Guo Yi replied half-jokingly.

"General Guo, you're only half right. The reason why these brothers are young and don't know what 'pseudo' is, is that the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, in fact, it is not far from the 'pseudo', what is the newborn calf, in fact, it is the equality of all beings taught by the Elder of the Moon Sky, you see, those so-called 'villains' that I tried my best to recruit, under the persuasion of the Elder of the Moon Sky, put down the butcher's knife, and one by one became Buddhas. ”

After listening to Su Ba's words, Zhang Gou'er nodded and said, "Brother Su, now that you understand, Lin Feng can also be changed." ”

"Hehe, boy!" Su Ba shouted: "I also firmly believe that Lin Feng will change, because I have changed, it is the two generals Guo and Xu who have changed me, and my change is precisely the difference between good and evil, which made me choose good." Brother, you are still young, but don't become 'hypocritical'. ”

The dog laughed and said, "I really haven't changed my nature." ”

Su Ba sat next to the dog, patted his head and said, "People have to grow up after all, I hope that in the future, you and Zhu Hui and others can maintain this nature." ”

Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er never thought that Su Ba's transformation would be caused by them, and the two glanced at each other, both of them were a little shy and uneasy, and they didn't know what to say.

After being silent for a while, Guo Yi couldn't help but speak: "Brother Su praised us too much, we don't have any ability, and we haven't done a few things we want to do, so I feel ashamed when I think about it." ”

Su Ba replied seriously: "The two generals don't need to be modest, with the strength of the two of you, in order to resist the Japanese and desperately run around, seek things in people, and achieve things in the sky, although you think that you have not done a few things, in fact, you have resolved many crises for the country and the people, and their great achievements are naturally not a problem, and what is even more commendable is that your words and deeds are consistent, true and good, so that I believe that there is still true love in the world, so I took the courage to endure humiliation and survived......

The four of them sat down and talked about it, although they were all tired for a day and a night, they didn't feel tired at all......

"It's almost dawn, sister, please go back, I'll live here to guard the warehouse from now on." As the dog spoke, he was going to send Guo Yi and Ling'er out.

Su Ba also persuaded: "General Guo, General Xu, hurry back, Yajiulang should call me later." ”

Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er said goodbye to Su Ba and Zhang Gou'er and left the warehouse......
