The man sitting in a dark corner took the piece of cheese from the plate with his left hand and put it in his mouth, then raised his glass with his left hand and took a sip. The position of his right hand was nothing but nothingness, and the empty cuffs hung limply to the side.

If anyone could recognize this haggard-faced, unshaven man as the once invincible nobleman, the son of the current prime minister Usubu, the Yaki general Tulayan, I am afraid that they will be shocked.

Tulayan, who had a smooth ride in the first half of his life, has truly appreciated what it means to take a turn of 180 degrees in life in the last year.

Since the Battle of Miujili, he has gone from being an invincible aristocratic general to a useless waste. The defeat of the army, the annihilation of the army, the capture of himself, the loss of his right arm, and the return of the enemy to the country, all this made him the target of public criticism. There is nothing more discredited than a nobleman who feels worse than death, because of him, Yaki lost a full 100,000 soldiers, nearly twenty generals died in battle, his father Usubu was confined to his home in order to plead for him, and then the vast network he had painstakingly managed for decades was well combed by Kadir, and a large number of people who were entrenched in high positions were demoted, transferred, and even imprisoned. The power of the Usubu faction has been dealt a huge blow, so Usubu can only be a man with his tail between his legs and conscientiously set out to restore his power.

And the initiator of all this is Tulayan. Even if he died honorably after the defeat, it would not cause such an uproar, but he shamelessly fled back, so whether it is the family members of the 100,000 army, the bereaved families of many generals, and the officials who were demoted to justice. Even his father, Usubu, hated him to the core.

The once calling for wind and rain, the front and back hugging are gone. Tulayan did not even dare to appear in public for fear of further humiliation. But even hiding at home is not much better. The most hateful thing is that Qadir III only stripped him of the title of general, but did not deprive him of the right to inherit, that is to say, he intended to let Tulayan inherit the title of Usub one day, in that case, the Usub family will no longer be ashamed to entrench in the court as the leader of many nobles, this insidious move made Usub angry but helpless, so he vented all his anger on Tulayan.

His father's disgust led to more contempt, and even his subordinates and servants felt the change in the family, and they stayed away from Tulayan. Anyone who gets too close to Tulayan will be taught a hard lesson by the master. Even his concubines didn't dare to get close to him, and of course Tulayan was not in the mood to enjoy male and female love with these women anymore.

Tulayan had to stay drunk in a tavern run by the common people until late at night.

This long-term life has distorted Tulayan's psyche, and he has begun to resent the people who have made him where he is today, Li Tianhao, Wei Song, Libera, and Kadir.

Today he unexpectedly found Libera in the tavern, and the resentment in his heart rolled out. He couldn't help but regret that he didn't go out with a weapon. But after a turn of thought, Tulayan realized that even if he brought a weapon, it was useless, even if Tulayan had always thought too highly of himself, he had to admit that Libera was the first brave man in the Yaki army, and even if he was able-bodied, he could not defeat this person. Not to mention being crippled?

At the moment when he changed his mind, Libera had stopped dancing and came to him: "I said why does it look so familiar, isn't this Lord Tulayan?" ”

"You. How do you see me? Tulayan was startled by him and asked in a trembling voice.

"If it's not conspicuous enough to drink alone in a place where everyone is singing and laughing. If you can't even notice the murderous aura in you, you won't be able to live to this day. Libera's tone was not malicious. But it's also centuries away from goodwill.

Tulayan's face twitched a few times, the man in front of him was indeed not something he could deal with. He barely managed to stabilize his emotions and said, "What do you want?" ”

Libera couldn't help but laugh when he asked: "What do I want?" Are you mistaken? It seems that you provoked me first, right? Of course, you can rest assured that I have no interest in teaching a cripple, I just wanted to ask you about your motives. ”

"It's you, it's you who make it all happen."

"Me?" Libera's eyes widened, and Tulayan's words left him completely scratching his head.

"You didn't come to the rescue in time, resulting in me being captured by the enemy." Tulayan gritted his teeth and gave the reason.

Libera laughed angrily: "This is really like your usual thinking!" I was incompetent and defeated, and I actually blamed others for not being able to rescue him! Someone like you, who doesn't even have the courage to take a mistake, can lead an army, and that's the greatest misfortune of Yaki! I'm telling you, if you're looking for the culprit who has toppled you to where you are today, that person is your father! If he hadn't deliberately controlled the army, he wouldn't have pushed you into the army with no military talent, and if he could let you start from a low-level officer and slowly train, maybe you could still sum up your experience in failure, grow step by step, and finally become a general who is not outstanding but has actual achievements. But he wants to pave the way for you, let you rise all the way, and make you a commander with no practical talent but great achievements. If he can give up his selfish desires and let you develop in politics, maybe with your ability to make plans, you will be able to become a person in charge of your own affairs in many years. You're where you are today, and it's his hand that caused it! If you can't recognize the reality and recognize yourself, then you can only continue to live like a puddle of mud! That's not bad, I don't care what you become anyway, as long as you don't continue to harm others. ”

Looking at Tulayan, who was speechless, Libera shook her head and stood up straight: "The interest has been ruined by you, I'm leaving." ”

Tulayan did not answer, his spirit was completely immersed in another world. Libera's words hit him like a bolt of lightning, no one had ever said such a thing to himself since he was a child, and for the first time in his life, he began to look at himself, the first half of his life, and the world.

Libera's words made a wonderful change in Tulayan, which also affected his future, although it did not completely change for the better, but it did greatly affect Tulayan's own life and the people around him.

Of course, Libera herself, who created all this, did not have this consciousness at all at this time. (To be continued......)
