Xiao Ruxun obviously felt that a lot of changes had taken place around him.

In the past few days, the generals under his command, including Zhao Hu, have been cautious when they meet on their side, they dare not sit down if they don't give up their seats, they don't dare to open their mouths if they don't let them speak, and they don't say anything if they don't let them express their opinions.

At that time in Myanmar, these guys didn't say how much fuss they had, when they had a military meeting, they hadn't arrived yet, they had already quarreled over there, and they didn't say a few words, and these guys began to make a fuss, one person and one opinion, and they wanted to be each other's direct elders at every turn, which was really funny.

Now their restrained appearance, this kind of faint fear of themselves, and the way they don't dare to act if they don't open their mouths, really makes Xiao Ruxun a little uncomfortable, as if he has lost something important.

Yuan Huang is a kind elder, often teaches himself some life principles, and when he is confused, Yuan Huang will always help himself.

Ye Mengxiong is also a generous elder, he believes in himself so much, believes that he can become a savior, and bets everything on himself.

Chen Longzheng is always very funny, the appearance of a mallet, the upright appearance, makes him angry and laughing, there is no way to take him.

Now, these old ministers who have followed him for a long time are also a lot more restrained when facing him, Yuan Huang hasn't said anything to himself for a long time, Ye Mengxiong seems to have realized something, and he hasn't spoken to himself from the position of an elder mentor for a long time.

Chen Longzheng, the mallet, was even a little unscrupulous in front of him before, and he spoke very loudly, but now he is also restrained, looking respectful, speaking in a harmonious voice, like a little daughter-in-law.

That feeling of closeness seems to be impossible to go back, it really doesn't seem to happen again, with the increase of his power and status, it seems that all this will not appear again, and the fate of the lonely person will also be fulfilled in himself?

Xiao Ruxun didn't know if it was the right thing to do.

The original intention of setting up Blackwater was to listen to military and political intelligence and provide a precursor for the activities of the army, but later it added persuasion, rebellion, local surveillance and even assassination, and now, internal surveillance.

Just now, he has set up a more powerful intelligence department directly under his own black bird, which will be a more thorough department to deal with dissent.

Humane destruction of them at any time.

The commander of the army, the people he used to trust the most, the closest guards around them all have people arranged by Heishui, Yuan Huang has people around him, Ye Mengxiong also has them, Chen Longzheng also has them, and he seems to be more suspicious and wary of the people around him than outsiders.

Every day before going to bed, you have to look at Blackwater's intelligence records to determine which people you can use together, who need to be put on the alert list, and who you need to be ready to kill.

When did you become like this?

What has become like this for those who once shared hardships together?

Is this the result you want?

Xiao Ruxun tortured himself countless times in the dead of night when he was calm and calm, is this really what he wants?

Once close comrades-in-arms, like-minded people who trust life and death, elders who send charcoal in the snow, romantic and funny mallets, all seem to have become people who need to be guarded against, Xiao Ruxun doesn't know how long it has been since he has talked to the people around him about his inner anguish.

There doesn't seem to be such an idea or need anymore.

With more and more power, more and more troops, and larger control areas, it is getting easier and easier to do things if you want to, and you don't even have to do it yourself, there will be countless people to help you do it, and those people are more and more flattering to themselves, and the people around you are more and more in awe of themselves.

If you move your mouth, someone will offer yourself a crusade against Shen's consistent essay, and what is written is called a literary brilliance.

If you move your mouth again, and with a wave of your hand, there will be thousands of troops and horses charging for themselves to fight on the spot, tearing apart the hostile rabble, ravaging it, and destroying nothing left, that is called a brave and fearless.

Then the reward will be fine.

The excitement of the past is gone.

They are always prone to anger, they do not hesitate to punish people, they are cruel, they have to be afraid of themselves, is this what they want to be?

Xiao Ruxun can be sure that he would never think like this at the beginning, even at the beginning of the army, but in the past six months, he seems to have changed a lot.

Sometimes, Xiao Ruxun himself will feel a little worried about this change.

But when it comes to the end, he will still do things according to such a code of conduct, killing people in public is no longer something that needs to be carefully considered, but something that is decided on the spot, and seeing others pale and afraid of himself, he will actually feel inexplicable pleasure.

Is this what you want?

Is it the right thing to do?

Is it really good to lose the bonds of the past and become a loner?

Xiao Ruxun tortured herself again.

Then he came up with the final answer.

That's right, that's what you want.

It's the right thing to do, it's the right thing to do.

Let them be afraid, let them be afraid, let them not even dare to raise their heads when facing themselves!

There's nothing wrong with being alone.

It's all about having power in your hands.

And then there will be happiness, bliss.

Very happy, really happy, when exercising this power, when you are in the hands of hundreds of thousands of people to kill and seize power, that feeling of pleasure, really, really, really!

Addictive.

Does everything in the past matter?

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all.

Those former relatives and friends, partners, comrades, once warm feelings, once close feelings.

It's not important, it's all floating clouds, it's not important, it doesn't matter at all.

They are not irreplaceable, the power is in hand, there will be countless people who want to tie up, there will be countless people who are willing to sacrifice their souls in exchange for power, the general trend of the world is like this, everyone is a smart person, people who stand in this position, will they be very stupid and naïve?

With power in hand, they will change as well.

As long as you hold power in your hands and the power in the world, no one is irreplaceable for yourself.

Closers? Confidant? Cronies?

It's just a matter of playing around, just using a higher level and being able to give him more important tasks to deal with more difficult people, treat them with a little tenderness, show them more kindness, and soothe them while suppressing them, so that they can't stop wanting to die, and play with them in the palm of their hands.

Anyone who holds power is a potential enemy of his own, to restrict, to control, to give out, to take back.

It's such a fun game.

The world is a chessboard, everything is a chess piece, and you are the chess player.

What's so bad about that?

Xiao Ruxun smiled, savoring this blissful pleasure, as if she was tasting a jar of old wine.
