Chapter 115: Tie Gong asked at night
readx;
In the middle of the night, Tie Liu found Shen Ruoliao in the Lixia Pavilion on the island in the middle of Daming Lake. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You're here; Daddy is going crazy. She exclaimed disgruntly.
Shen Ruoyu sat reclining against the pavilion pillar, staring blankly at the round and golden moon disk in the night sky.
"How do you know I'm here," he muttered, still staring motionless at the moon.
"I really told the blind cat to hit the dead mouse," Tie Liu said, "I ran to Daming Lake in the middle of the night, and I also had a brain problem." β
Shen Ruoyu smiled slightly, and sneered softly: "Not only did you run to Daming Lake in the middle of the night, but also rowed a boat to Lixia Pavilion." You don't have a problem with your brain, you are Guanyin Bodhisattva with a Dharma eye, I can't hide from you anywhere. β
"You've been making trouble for a long time to avoid me?" Tieliu shouted in disappointment. "Did I provoke you again?"
Shen Ruoyu reluctantly defended: "I didn't mean that. It's just that the moon is so full today, I want to find a place where no one is there to rest for a good night-yesterday was Qiu'er's birthday......"
Tie Liu let out an "oh" and sat down beside him, also looking up at the moon. After a while, she said softly:
"When, when you like me to have this half, I am also content."
Shen Ruoyu threw his head back and slammed into the pavilion pillar. "Please, sister, let me die-"
"I knew you hated meβ"
"When did I say I hated you?"
"I don't need you to say it, I'm not stupid!"
"You're the daughter of Brother Keystone! Even if I don't have a wife, I can't beat your idea! β
"High-sounding, why didn't you say that when you bullied me?"
Shen Ruoyu hugged her ears in despair, and got up to run away. Tie Liu grabbed him.
"Hey, don't run! I finally found you, do you know that Daddy is dying? β
Shen Ruoyu had no choice but to say: "In this case, what nonsense are you still sitting here, go back." β
Iron Willow blushed, but she sat in the shadows. The moonlight shone on Shen Ruoyu, and his face turned even redder.
Tie Liu said: "People don't want to sit with you for a while, there is no daddy to control, you can say whatever you want." β
Shen Ruoyu sat down and sighed. "Okay; So what else do you want to say? If a girl can't say anything, you've said it all. On this island in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid that I will take advantage of you? β
"It's not like you haven't taken it," Tieliu muttered quietly.
"Miss Liu, I'm really going to leave if you mention that matter again. I really had to make this decision as a last resort, not for lust, everything was just for King Yan. β
"I understand," said Tie Liu, "but now, why are you doing this against King Yan like this?" How much you loved him at the beginning, betrayed him overnight, and then you can be so decisive. Is it your loyalty that is unreliable, or your mind unreliable, or your feelings unreliable? β
Shen Ruoyu didn't expect her to ask this. He thought for a moment with some panic, then quieted down and smiled bitterly.
"I don't know." He said lightly, "Maybe it's all three." β
Tieliu didn't expect him to answer like this. She didn't know what else to say.
Shen Ruoyu said: "Therefore, I betrayed King Yan, and it is also possible that I will betray the court in the future." In the same way, I have betrayed my sister, and I will probably betray Qiu'er in the future. I am a person who is unfaithful and unfaithful, and I was born without a name of loyalty, so it doesn't matter to me. As for the mind, it seems that it has never been. As for feelingsβ" he smiled lightly, "feelings, it's not my business alone. It's the same for everyone; Feelings are probably not reliable in themselves. β
There were too many things in these words, and Tie Liu couldn't resist it for a while.
"You...... Your sister? β
"Miss Liu, I think we should go back. Your father is probably not worried about me now, but you. β
Tie Liu got up suddenly, followed him to the boat, watched him row back to the shore, and then followed him ashore, out of Daming Lake, and walked in the direction of Tiefu.
Shen Ruoyu disappeared, and her daughter also disappeared subsequently, how could Tie Xuan be at home with peace of mind; When Lady Tie saw the two of them returning, she immediately sent someone to find Tie Xuan.
Tie Xuan came back and asked:
"Where the hell did you two go?"
Tieliu said: "Daming Lake, Lixia Pavilion." β
"Lixia Pavilion?" Tie Hyun was surprised. He saw that both of them had gloomy faces.
"Liu'er, hurry up and wash your face and go to sleep! What is a girl's house running around outside in the middle of the night? I'll settle accounts with you tomorrow morning. β
Tetsuliu pouted and went back to his room.
Tie Xuan pulled Shen Ruoyu into the house and closed the door.
"What's going on?" He asked, "What are you doing at Lixia Pavilion?" β
Shen Ruoyu said: "Brother Dingshi, don't worry, I will never dare to touch a hair of Liu'er again." β
Tie Xuan sighed, "I understand; If I still have doubts about you, I won't at least go around in circles with you. What the hell is going on? The Yan army retreated, such a big happy event, but you were full of sadness, and you ran to the island in the middle of the lake alone and stayed until midnight? β
"Hmm...... Actually, yesterday was Qiu'er's birthday, and today is the full moon. β
Tiehyun looked at him serenely. "Homesick?"
Shen Ruoyu said: "Home? To be honest, I don't know where my house is. It used to be in Beiping. β
Tie Hyun understood everything at this point.
"You still feel guilty about King Yan, right?"
Shen Ruoyu was silent for a long time. "I don't know."
Tie Xuan said: "Commander Sheng told me that it was all out of his plan to do tricks and feet into King Yan's cannon, and he didn't even know the moment King Yan gave the order to open the cannon. He only knew that you didn't say hello to anyone, so you left the team to do something by yourself, which almost caused him to miss the plane. β
Shen Ruoyu lowered her head, and shuddered in her heart. Tie Hyun was a little surprised to see him trembling.
"What did you do alone in the Yan Army camp? You tell me, Ruo Xiao, you can't help but run to see King Yan, right? β
The trembling stopped.
After a long time, Shen Ruoyu said, "I'll go." β
Tie Hyun anticipated this possibility, but did not expect this answer.
"Did you really go? You...... You talk to him -- you talk to him? β
"Got it."
"You...... What did you say? β
ββ¦β¦ I say...... Please stop firing artillery and immediately withdraw his troops back to Beiping. Otherwise, he will regret it. β
Tie Hyun pondered for a moment. In the end, he didn't listen. What did he say to you at the time? β
I didn't wait for him to speak, I left. I also know that he won't listen. β
"But if you don't say it, you'll have a troubled conscience, after all, you're the one who does the tricks into the cannon. You think that if you remind him, you can rest assured, and you think that you have finally fulfilled your last obligation and can settle with him. However, seeing that the cannon exploded as you wished, and countless Yan soldiers were burned to charcoal, you found that you felt even more guilty and your conscience was heavier, right? - Oh, no, you didn't see it with your own eyes. You ran down the city defenses before King Yan gave the order to open fire. You can't bear to look at your masterpiece, you already know in your heart that you can't escape this self-blame. So when King Yan gritted his teeth and swore to make you a banner, you didn't sneer at him as before, as you should, but begged him to let your wife go in a low voice. After all, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, you've been out for too long, and you're homesick. After all, King Yan once named your wife the lord of the county and treated you like a parent. Am I right? β
Shen Ruoyu didn't look up, but replied softly, "I'm sorry." β
Tie Xuan sighed: "Ruoxiao, it's not me who you're sorry for, it's not King Yan, it's not your wife, it's not anyone else, it's yourself, you understand?" β
Shen Ruoxiao did not answer.
"You can't bear to see the casualties of the Yan army; Have you ever thought that if you had never left King Yan, and now you are standing by King Yan's side, watching the artillery of the Yan army collapse the city wall of Jinan, and the soldiers and people of Jinan who defend the city were also burned to charcoal by the artillery fire, would you bear it? If you follow King Yan and see with your own eyes his slaughter in Xiongxian and the bestiality of Huailai, don't you feel the slightest guilt? In times of peace, let you kill passers-by on the street who have nothing to do with you for no reason, who can do it for real people? When will you understand that those Yan troops did not die at your hands, but died in war; King Yan is not in your hands, but in injustice. If one day, you and I are like those soldiers, and even the corpse is gone, and then like the Huailai defenders, the wife and weak daughter of the family are also wantonly abused by the Yan army, whose fault do you think this is, will you hate King Yan? This is the life of a soldier. β
Shen Ruoyu still didn't answer.
Don't the Huailai defenders really hate King Yan? Does King Yan really hate him? He made a choice for an unspeakable ideal, and he never regretted it; But that doesn't mean he's rejoicing at the consequences.
What exactly is the life of a soldier? Is it unconditional obedience to orders, or unconditional obedience to ideals? If one day, if he and Qiu'er were really arrested by King Yan, he would be crushed by Ling Chi, and Qiu'er would not be able to escape the fate of his pregnancy, how would he feel, would he hate King Yan, or hate himself?
Because he had already learned that he was powerless to hate Providence no matter what.
He finally opened his mouth, but asked a question that surprised Tie Hyun:
"Brother Dingshi, is there any news from General Sheng?"
Tie Xuan said: "Not yet; General Ping'an has been stationed in Zhending and joined Wu Jie, Marquis of Anlu; Xinma said that Lord Xu, the Duke of Wei, had already led his division to Dezhou, and he would be there in a few days. β
He looked at Shen Ruoyu's tired expression.
"You've been tired for three months. Get a good night's sleep; Jinan is already safe, and the city defense and pursuit are all taken care of, so you don't have to worry about it anymore. Starting tomorrow, I will let Liu'er accompany you, walk around, relax, go to Wulong Pond, Baotu Spring, Jiaxuan Temple, Shuyu Temple, go boating on Daming Lake, it's up to you. After a month of flooding, there was no food to eat, but there was always something else to do. β
