Chapter 554: Black Cat
Hearing Fajie's questioning, Liu He only felt that a thousand-pound hammer hit him directly in the chest.
Fa Jie is right, if the entry into Sichuan was not so smooth, Liu Beijun is likely to break out a big battle with the defenders of Yizhou at that time, and in order to take the only remaining territory on the territory of Yizhou, Liu Beijun will definitely launch a fierce attack regardless of the cost and consequences.
If that were the case, Yizhou would definitely become a bloody hell on earth.
In the face of Liu He, who had always been silent, Fajie's emotions became more and more excited, and he even strode in front of Liu He, without the slightest intention of saving face for his new master.
"Yes, he killed a lot of people, but he did it so that hundreds of thousands of people in Shu could live! And what about you? You are just for your own selfish desires, and you do not hesitate to stain your hands with the blood of the people, and you also want to introduce the war into Yizhou, who is the real despicable villain? Who is the one who really cares about the people? You guys are in front of and behind the scenes, you are really a good show, only I am next to me, I can see it clearly! ”
After saying this, Fa Jie shook off his hand and walked under the ancient tree where he had been separated from Fa Zheng.
Fajie held the trunk of the tree with his hand, and the whole person turned his back to Liu He.
Liu He couldn't see the expression on Fajie's face clearly, but he could still feel Fajie's unwillingness.
Unwilling that person silently did everything for the people of Shudi, but after death, he still had to be poked in the back, saying that he was a great traitor.
Liu He finally believed that everything Fazheng had done before was not for himself, but for the people of Shu.
The reason why Liu He believed it was not because of Fajie's words just now, nor because of Fajie's true feelings, but because Liu He thought about it repeatedly for a long time, and only by using this reason to explain everything Fazheng had done before could it really be explained.
Looking at Fajie's back, Liu He didn't know how to comfort him.
Maybe this fifth in the world didn't need anyone's comfort at all, and from the day he chose to follow Fazheng, he had already expected such an ending.
"Why are you following him?" Liu He asked the question just now, and Fajie did not answer it positively before, but Liu He wanted to know the answer.
Fajie sighed heavily, turned around, and said in a hoarse voice: "I have no father or mother since I was a child, and my master raised me. Master, he has been a family all his life, and he will never live in one place for a long time. I once asked him why he was wandering around, and he told me that there is no country without a country. Master's greatest wish when he was young was to put an end to this troubled world, and sadly, it wasn't until his hair turned white that he realized that this wish could not be fulfilled in his lifetime. But even so, he still wanted to find a pure land, so that the people there could live and work in peace and contentment. Before he died, he said to me, let me go to Yizhou and assist a man named Fazheng. Master was already like my own father in my heart, and I naturally wanted to fulfill his wish for him, and although I didn't know who Fa Zheng was at the time, I still went. ”
At this point, Fajie stopped abruptly.
He took out something from his arms and handed it to Liu He.
"One thing, I almost forgot, is that he left it for you."
Liu He took it, took it in his hand and looked at it, it was a piece of brocade, it seemed that there should be something wrapped in it.
Although I can't tell what is inside, judging from the meticulousness of Jinpa's wrapping, the contents must be very precious.
As soon as Liu He was about to open the Jinpa, he listened to Fa Jie and continued.
"When I first met him, I felt the same way you did when you saw this piece of brocade. I think that the person whom Master has chosen for a lifetime must be a great loyal minister who is loyal to the monarch and the country. But it didn't take long for me to realize that he wasn't what I thought he was. I'm a martial artist, I've killed a lot of people, and I've never been afraid, but after meeting him, I finally know what it's like to be afraid. It was as if in his eyes, anyone was just a tool in his service, an object, not an individual, including me. After doing many bad things for him and killing many people, I even began to wonder if Master had lost his eyes, until one night I heard him talking to his black cat alone in the courtyard. ”
Fajie glanced at Liu He and said with a wry smile: "Don't you think it's a little strange, how can a cat understand human speech?" ”
Liu He hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Fajie sighed, "Of course the black cat can't understand what he's saying, but if he doesn't say those words in his heart, who can he say to the black cat?" That night, I heard with my own ears that he told the black cat that he had killed another man during the day. ”
Liu He waited for a while, but Fajie did not follow.
Liu He frowned and wondered, "That's what he said?" ”
"Yes, that's it," Fajie sighed again, "but his tone was like that of a child who has been forced to do something bad, both aggrieved and unwilling. I couldn't see the look on his face, but I could feel the struggle in his heart. At that moment, I finally understood why Master had chosen him. He only does what he has to do, and he never cares about the so-called right and wrong, good and bad. You might think that his argument that a small number of people can be sacrificed for the sake of the majority is untenable, but it turns out that if you don't, more people will die. ”
Liu He was silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "There is a question that I have never been able to understand. You've been following him for so long, maybe you'll be able to give me an answer. Exchange the lives of one person for the lives of 10,000 people, or not? ”
"Change!" Fajie replied without hesitation.
Liu He nodded and continued to ask: "Exchange the lives of one person for the lives of a thousand people, can you exchange them?" ”
"Change!" Fajie still didn't hesitate.
"Exchange the lives of one person for the lives of a hundred people, or not?"
"Change it too!"
"What about the ten?"
"Still have to change!"
Liu He suddenly paused and glanced at Fajie meaningfully, "What if it's a life for a life, or not?" ”
Fajter pondered for a long time, and finally closed his eyes and remained silent.
Liu He smiled, "It seems that even he can't answer." ”
"Sir is wrong, this question, he has already answered you." Fajie suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze like a torch, "Didn't he already exchange his life for yours?" ”
Liu He was like being struck by lightning, and the smile on his face instantly froze.
Fajie said calmly: "If he wanted to kill you, you would have died a long time ago." It's not that I'm arrogant, if you don't have any defense, I want to sneak up on you, and you can't escape. ”
