Chapter 14

Ling Renxiang smiled bitterly again, and then raised his head to look at Ling Yan, but there was a sad look on his face: "I know...... I'm not a good person, but there's really no way to ...... If we hadn't, maybe we wouldn't be alive today. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" His tone was full of helplessness.

"Can you continue to survive only by wanton killing?" Ling Yan couldn't believe this theory.

Ling Renxiang hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Ling Yan looked at Ling Renxiang with complicated eyes, and then looked down at the teacup on the table: "That...... Why kill Kong Rong? ”

"For we will take possession of his city." This time, Ling Renxiang did not hesitate and answered very simply.

"Even if you occupy his city, there's no need to kill him, right?" Ling Yan frowned, "You should know what kind of person Kong Rong of the Three Kingdoms is, right?" ”

Ling Renxiang nodded: "He is an excellent Taishou. ”

"You know he's a good taishou, but you still kill him." Ling Yan said heavily.

Ling Renxiang was silent. After a long time, he exhaled lightly: "There is no other way." ”

"Why?" Ling Yan's brows furrowed even tighter.

Ling Renxiang stood up, slowly walked to the window, and looked at the dark night sky outside the window: "I used to ask my brother the same thing...... I was like you at that time, don't talk about a person like Kong Rong, even if he is a heinous bad person, I won't, and I don't dare to kill him. ”

Ling Yan turned around and looked at Ling Renxiang's back, and did not interrupt his words, just listened quietly.

Ling Renxiang continued to recall: "That time we broke through Bao Xin's city and captured Bao Xin, and it was at that time that my brother first gave the order to kill the enemy lord. ”

Ling Yan was stunned for a moment, he knew that Bao Xin was one of the eighteenth princes who crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and was killed by Hua Xiong in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but he didn't expect that in the real Three Kingdoms, he would die in the hands of modern people.

"At that time, my brother told me that there was no other choice but to kill Bao Xin. At that time, I also asked you the question just now......" Ling Renxiang fell into memory.

"And what did your brother say?" Ling Yan asked.

Ling Renxiang was silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "My brother said that except for us, everyone else is an enemy, no matter which Taishou, lord, or general, we must generalize, otherwise, our lives will not be guaranteed." ”

"How?" Ling Yan didn't quite understand.

"I thought about what my brother said later, and finally guessed his thoughts, and then I really felt that what he said was right......" Ling Renxiang paused, and then continued to explain, "We are outsiders compared to the ancients, people from another world, they have always been full of curiosity and hostility towards us, no matter how deep and complex the contradictions between those divided warlords are, when encountering an alien 'invader' like us, they will definitely unite against us temporarily." ”

There are many examples of this truth in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", of course Ling Yan understands it, so he nodded silently.

Ling Renxiang continued to take care of himself: "My brother once told me, he said that no matter how much we know about the history of the Three Kingdoms, it is just 'on paper', really in the Three Kingdoms era, if you just understand the historical trend, there is no use, those Taishou only need to unite, and it is easier to kill a few of us than to trample on ants." ”

Ling Yan nodded, agreeing with Ling Renxiang's words.

"However," Ling Renxiang continued, "when we first came here, we had neither martial arts nor strategy, and the only thing we could rely on was our understanding of the Three Kingdoms. ”

"Then it is really not easy for you to have such a development as you are now." Ling Yan sighed sincerely.

Ling Renxiang smiled bitterly: "Hmm...... Most of these achievements are due to my brother, who taught me a lot of things, including how to deal with enemies......" Speaking of this, he paused, "When I first saw the scene of killing, I was really frightened, I was really scared...... But my brother told me that I had to adapt to this kind of scene, and he said that this is no longer a civilized modern society, but a cruel place full of killings that follows the principle of 'survival of the fittest, survival of the strong', and the situation of 'life and death' everywhere. If you kill one more enemy, you will have more hope of survival, otherwise, you will definitely be the one who dies, because the enemy will never show mercy, especially for 'outsiders' like us. ”

Although Ling Yan didn't want to agree with Ling Renxiang's point of view, he had to admit that what Ling Renxiang said made sense.

"Slowly, I got used to it. So far, I don't know how many people have lost their lives because of me and my brother, and although I think I'm numb to murder, and I think I'm used to it, but ...... Even now, I still have nightmares when I sleep, and in my dreams ...... It's all those revenant souls under the sword......" At the end, Ling Renxiang's voice seemed to tremble slightly, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his Adam's apple scurried up and down.

Ling Yan recalled the dream he had before, and couldn't help but feel sad: "The murders you see are all strange enemies...... But for the first time in my life, I saw the murder with my own eyes, the murder ...... But he was my savior. ”

Ling Renxiang didn't continue, just looked at the bright moon in the night sky.

Ling Yan felt that something was wrong, so he turned to look at Ling Renxiang's silhouette, and he suddenly found that from Ling Renxiang's sad eyes, there was a line of clear tears, and the tears were extremely clear by the moonlight.

Ling Yan was just about to speak, but Ling Renxiang said slowly at this time: "Le'er's father was personally ordered to be killed. ”

"What...... What the? Ling Yan was taken aback.

Ling Renxiang frowned slightly, and there was a deep sadness in his tone: "Le'er's father is Kong Rong's subordinate, and he is a loyal minister...... After we killed Kong Rong, Le'er's father united with several others and vowed to avenge Kong Taishou...... Although I respect such a person very much, I understand that this kind of military general who is loyal to the old master must not be kept. ”

"So...... You order...... Kill him? Ling Yan still couldn't believe it.

Ling Renxiang nodded slowly: "Yes...... Before Le'er's father was executed, he only said one sentence to me, he said that he died for the monarch, and he had no regrets about dying, and he had nothing to say if he fell into my hands...... But he begged me not to kill his daughter......"

Ling Yan couldn't help but think of the words that the old man said when he was dying, and his nose was sour again.

"After Le'er knew that his father had been killed, he cried for two days and two nights......" Ling Renxiang closed his eyes gently, and a clear tear slid down his cheek again. Those two days were the hardest two days of my life...... As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw the image of Le'er crying bitterly and what his father said to me before he died. ”

"I know you agreed to her father's request."

Ling Renxiang opened his eyes lightly again, looking at the bright moon in the night sky: "I can't help but agree...... I've made a promise in my heart that I won't let anyone bully Le'er...... It won't make Le Er so sad anymore. ”

Ling Yan was speechless, looking at the teacup in front of him with a sad expression.

Ling Renxiang took off his glasses, wiped his eyes with his hands, then put them on again, took a deep breath, and then turned around, leaned his back against the window frame, clasped his hands, and looked at Ling Yan with a slight smile on his face: "So, I understand your feelings very well." ”

"But...... I simply don't have the ability to take care of and protect Cong'er. Ling Yan shook his head bitterly, "If I really had the ability, I wouldn't have watched my grandfather be killed......

"Don't worry, we will kill Wu Anguo sooner or later," Ling Renxiang said lightly, "It's just that now is the time to employ people, and we want to take in as many generals as possible who have defected to us, because after all, it still depends on them to go into battle...... Wu Anguo is a general, and he obviously wanted to show us his loyalty by killing the old man, and besides, 'those who harbor men should be beheaded' is indeed an order from my brother, because we are very short of troops, so we were forced to make this decision...... If Wu Anguo is killed because of this incident, I am afraid that it will not be justified in reason......"

"Then grandpa's revenge can't be avenged, can it?" Ling Yan asked indifferently.

Ling Renxiang smiled faintly: "The most unbearable thing for my brother is betrayal. Wu Anguo betrayed Kong Rong for his own life, this kind of villain, my brother will get rid of him sooner or later. ”

Ling Yan looked at Ling Renxiang: "Wu Anguo is on the verge of defection, right?" ”

Ling Renxiang nodded and said, "Well, he secretly surrendered to us before, and then we lured Kong Rong into battle, and at that time, Wu Anguo was standing behind Tai Shi Ci......
