Chapter 144: POV: Rose, I Wish We Would Not See Each Other (Explosion Progress 23/35)
Liu Xu was stunned when he heard this, maybe no one had ever been so rude to him, I heard Wang Tao say that even the emperor Lao'er called him "sir", but Rose never cared about the things of these scholars. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
She doesn't know how to be polite, and she doesn't want to be polite.
Liu Xu was not angry at all, he laughed, and said while laughing: "Yes, yes, the girl has an independent personality and is a maverick, very good, very good!" ā
"So do you give money or don't give money?"
"It's no problem to give money - but then again, I'm not your father, I'm not your mother, you take my money, let's just borrow it, I don't ask you for interest, but how are you going to pay me back?"
Liu Xu's words made Rose scratch her head a little, she originally planned to borrow money and leave, thinking that Liu Xu's human rights are high, and she will not keep the small things of a few hundred taels of silver in mind, she will delay it for two years a year, and three years for two years, and slowly he will forget it, and this money naturally does not need to be repaid. I didn't expect this person to be like an old money lender, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked himself how to repay the money, which is not very easy to do. Rose thought about it, but she really didn't know what was on her body, so she asked tentatively, "Why don't you see someone who is not pleasing to the eye, how about I help you kill him?" One thousand taels of silver per person, no bargaining! ā
She doesn't know how much it costs to kill a person on the rivers and lakes, but she feels that she is the best killer, and since she is the best, the fee should naturally be the most expensive. There has never been such a thing as good quality and cheap in this world, all she can guarantee is the authenticity, and anyone she wants to kill will not escape her pursuit.
When it comes to killing, she is an expert.
"Hahaha!" Liu Xu laughed again: "Thank you girl for your kindness, but I, Liu Xu, sit upright, and I never need to use a killer to achieve my goal, so I don't bother the girl." In this way, it should be regarded as a friend, if you are short of money, I will give you a thousand taels as a gift, you spend it slowly, if it is not enough, come back to me. If I make a home in Yizhou, I would like to invite you to come and be a guest. ā
He had a good attitude towards Rose, and he was not angry at Rose for being rude, and he gave money generously, which made Rose very happy, so she nodded: "You're not a bad person!" ā
"However, girl, the wound on your body is not good yet, but I am afraid that you will not be able to travel far, if you don't dislike our poor conditions here, and don't let go of the wound before leaving, as long as your injury is good, I will definitely not stop it, what do you think?"
Rose thought for a while, Coco has a cloth to take care of, this person is the most daughter, since she promised herself, even if she loses her life, she will not let Coco be bullied, she can recuperate with peace of mind. What's more, this Liu Xu is wealthy, and there are all kinds of novelties in the team, so he might as well stay and take a look. Thinking so, she nodded: "Okay! ā
It was already a little late, so the two said goodbye to Liu Xu, Liu Xu didn't stay, let the two leave, and gave them a hundred taels of silver "pocket money" for them to buy things casually.
Wang Tao accompanied Rose back to the carriage, it was dark early in winter, the sun in the distance had been hiding behind the mountain, black covered the earth, Rose looked up at the sky, and found that the stars in the north had been completely brightened, they were shining in the air and presumptuously bright, and the brightness emitted was almost as bright as the moon. The starry sky stretched slowly in front of Rose, like a star-paved road, guiding her direction.
It's just that where is her direction? Ever since her mother died, she seemed to have been following the crowd, what did she do, and how should she choose her direction?
She didn't know. Every now and then, she would pinch the hilt of her dagger hard, and the solid feeling allowed her to shake off her fear.
It feels good to have force to defend yourself.
Wang Tao walked slowly with Rose, they didn't speak for a while, and slowly listened to the sound of the cold wind blowing through the branches and forests, the sound was sharp and harsh, but after listening to it for a long time, it was a bit like a song, a winter song.
"Why are you doing that to your master today?" Coming to a secluded place where there were not many people, Wang Tao spoke, his tone was not harsh, because he couldn't be stiff in front of Rose at all, even if he was now a disciple of the "Heavenly Sect", he didn't dare to speak loudly to Rose.
Rose sighed, and finally said the words she had been holding in her heart for a long time: "Actually, I'm just very afraid of him, and the more I am afraid of him, the more I dare not act vulnerable and cowardly in front of him. ā
"Scared?" Wang Tao asked strangely: "Shizun is a scribe, he will never be able to beat you, he has done it once in his life, or hacked an old eunuch like Wei Zhongxian to death, why are you afraid of him?" ā
"I'm afraid of him because he can kill."
This sentence made Wang Tao even more puzzled: "It's true that he can kill people, but you can also kill people, do the math, I'm afraid there are only a dozen lives in your hands, which is much more than him!" ā
Rose sneered: "Fool, you don't understand anything! I've only killed a few people! I kill people from morning till night, until the knife is curled, and I kill until my hands and feet are weak, so that I can kill hundreds of people? It's still someone standing still and letting me kill! And your master, he is amazing, I kill people with a knife, and he can kill people with his mouth; I will kill myself, but he can drive the world to kill! ā
Her voice grew louder and louder, as if this was the only way to vent the infinite fear in her heart: "I have been roaming in the forest since I was a child, and I know what dangers and what is safe, but your master gives me a feeling that is more terrible than hundreds of tigers combined-you look, those more than 2,000 people today, all of them are scholars who are more knowledgeable than you, although I don't like them, but I have to admit that they have a lot of flowers, but how about today? They shouted like crazy, 'The world is the same', no worse than those soldiers! Speaking of those soldiers, you see, they are soldiers, they are simply crazy, the meaning of their life is not to live, but to kill, to kill all those who stand in the way of your master! ā
She was already roaring at last, and the girl's shrill voice resounded throughout the night sky, as if to startle several sleeping crows.
Wang Tao was silent for a long time, he seemed to be thinking, in fact, where do you need to think about all this today, anyone with basic intelligence can see that this group of people has completely regarded Liu Xu as their god, and completely put their net worth and life on him, and Liu Xu is sure to be successful, and he can make up something like "Datongism" to demagogue, which makes them feel more and more that they are great and righteous!
Even if it is murder and arson, even if it is quarreling and destroying the door, even if it is slaughtering the city and destroying the country, they will all use the banner of "Datongism" and keep saying, "I am for your good, since you are not willing to join us in Datong, then you have no choice but to die"!
Rose believes that it is impossible not to see it with Wang Tao's intelligence, and knows that these fanatical people will not fail to see it, but they have so many people, their combat effectiveness, cohesion, and organization are so strong, and it is the instinct of the weak to cling to the strong, since they can join an organization that is both strong and beneficial, who would want to break away?
In this way, one moth after another came to put out the fire, and instead of being burned to death, the moths that put out the fire benefited from it, which encouraged more moths to come.
The benefits of the world are always limited, and if they take the benefits, it is others who suffer.
Rose had never considered the lives and deaths of others, the pros and cons of others, she had always felt that only her own world was real, and others were just dream bubbles in her own world, but tonight she was surprised to find that she was not as selfish as she imagined.
If she was selfish, she would not risk her life to help Wang Tao save her mother, she would not have rescued Yueji, who had suffered a lot of punches, and she would not have chased and killed Elder Li for thousands of miles.
She is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, she has a knife mouth and a tofu heart, her face is like frost, and her heart is hot.
She is a rose, with thorns on the outside and stamens on the inside.
Wang Tao finally spoke, his voice was a little sad, but there was a faint sense of righteousness in the sadness, which became more and more intense with his statement, and gradually, he began to speak solemnly: "Rose, I know, you think that the master is no different from the White Lotus Sect, and I know that it is even more demagogic than the White Lotus Sect, I understand this completely." However, Datongism is different from the White Lotus Sect after all, the White Lotus Sect bewitches people's hearts, and can only lead the people to death and rebel with them, and the White Lotus Sect, which is a thief, will in turn oppress the people, they are not good people, they are thieves! I'm the best example of that! We are really trying to make the people live a good life, so that they will no longer be oppressed by others, so that everyone can have a field and a job. The White Lotus Sect has no bullshit except for a few verses, but we have a program, a plan, a plan, a goal, and discipline, and we want to engage in compulsory education and let all children go to school; We want to build nursing homes, so that the elderly have a place to go; We want to fight foreign enemies, so that all aliens, all barbarians, can no longer replace civilization - although our approach is a bit extreme, but we are really changing this society! ā
"For the sake of this better society, in order to achieve what you have to do, you must kill the White Lotus Sect, and you must deal with all the people who stand in your way?" Rose asked in a whisper.
"I'm afraid it has to be! Mr. Liu Ruyi said that as long as the purpose is legitimate, then the means are legitimate! Even if it is poisoning, assassination, rumor-mongering, or smearing, as long as it is conducive to our purposes, it is all okay and desirable! Wang Tao's face faintly showed a kind of piety and fanaticism, and this face was no stranger.
Those who sing in the fire, those who burn themselves in the fire and do not give up, do not abandon, and do not beg for mercy, are also such a spirit, a look.
Fanatical, religious, desperate.
The boy's pain tempered him into a piece of steel and allowed him to grow, and these pains made him never go back to the past.
Of course, he will no longer have a smile on his face, but there will always be a place in his heart occupied by hatred.
He has a tiger in his heart, and he vows revenge.
"You are going to sweep away everything that stands in your way, and if I stand in front of you one day, you will do it too?" Rose stared at him and asked coldly.
"This ......," Wang Tao said.
He didn't speak.
But he didn't refute it either.
"I wish you success." Rose turned and left, leaving a message for the boy with the help of the night wind:
"The sky is a long way, I would like not to see each other."
I'm afraid that when he sees each other one day, it will be the day when you and I break off friendship.
The night breeze is long, and the cold stars are faint. (To be continued.) )
