Chapter 99 Conversation

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Li Cunhuan walked to the bonfire they had built by Sha Cunk and took out the flint to knock it, but Li Cunhuan's gesture was obviously not very good, and he beat it seven or eight times, but he had not yet lit a dry weed ball.

"Let me do it!" Zhou Dewei pinned the saber to his waist and walked over slowly.

Li Cunhuan handed the flint to Zhou Dewei and said, "Hehe! I'm really useless, I can't even put two flints on the table. ”

Zhou Dewei said in a deep voice: "There are people who don't have strong martial arts or profound knowledge, but they can become emperors. (alluding to Liu Bang) Although some people have many moral shortcomings, killing their brothers, coercing their fathers, and forcibly marrying their younger brothers-in-law, he can become a person admired by all the people (alluding to Tang Taizong), so that the king will not use flint, what is there to sigh! ”

"What do you think I can become? Hebei overlord? A short-lived festival that makes it? Li Cunhuan put the iron pot on the charcoal fire that Zhou Dewei lit the fire and asked softly.

Zhou Dewei stood up, took a step back, and suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist. Li Cunhuan couldn't help but suddenly widen his pupils. Zhou Dewei took the horizontal knife and looked at it, put the horizontal knife back into the scabbard, and said: "Maybe become a genius who dies!" ”

Li Cunhuan smiled, took out the dried meat and dried noodles that had been cut into strips from the burlap bag where the food was placed on the side, and threw them into the iron pot. "Maybe!" whispered. ”

Zhou Dewei glanced at Li Cunhuan carefully, and asked in a deep voice: "Envoy, I want to ask you, why do you crave power?" ”

Li Cunhuan glanced at Zhou Dewei and said, "Your question makes me feel that you don't look like a fierce general, but like a wise strategist." Zhou Dewei, let me ask you, why do you crave power? ”

Zhou Dewei pondered for a moment, looked at the flickering bonfire, and said: "Because he can save me and my family from suffering, and can make me a person who is admired by others." ”

"And I'm just trying to survive!" Li Cunhuan suddenly interjected.

"Survival?" Zhou Dewei looked at Li Cunhuan with some doubts, not knowing why he would say such a sentence.

Li Cunhuan, who knows a little about history, knows that Lu Long, which was established by Liu Rengong and his son for two generations, was called Jiyan by later generations. Ji means ferocious and tyrannical, and it is also the name of a king who died in the ancient Xia Dynasty. can use this word, it can also be said that although Liu Rengong and his son have not been famous for a hundred years, they have also left a stench for thousands of years. Coupled with the enmity between himself and Liu Rengong, this made Li Cunhuan do whatever it takes, and even some people call it crazy resistance to Li Keyong.

Although Zhou Dewei didn't quite understand, but after a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and asked, "Then you can also bring you survival because of power now?" ”

Li Cunhuan shook his head and said, "No matter how righteous the excuse is, it can't hide that people are greedy for power. But sometimes, when you see your people, your country suffering, you are also touched by something. Now I hope that my power can make the people's lives a little better. ”

Zhou Dewei looked at Li Cunhuan suspiciously, and muttered, "Is that all?" ”

Li Cunhuan picked up the chopsticks and stirred them in the iron pot, and said with a smile: "Do you feel that I am hypocritical?" However, I remember a person who said that the most precious thing in a person is life, and there is only one life for a person. A man's life should be spent in such a way that when he recalls the past, he does not regret that he wasted his time, nor is he ashamed of his inaction. When he was dying, he was able to proudly say, 'My whole life and all my energies have been devoted to the greatest cause.' 'Dewei Zhou: What's the greatest career you have in mind?' ”

Zhou Dewei opened his mouth slightly in a daze, and after a long time, he lowered his head a little ashamedly and said: "I don't know, maybe I will die in a certain war, this is probably my greatest cause." ”

Li Cunhuan shook his head and said: "You won't, and my greatest cause is to hope that my nation can be strong, and my country can be strong." What I hope to see most is that a Han person can be proud of being a Han Chinese. Do you know? I've heard people say that there is a country in the far west that is very powerful. His people go to other countries and are respected wherever they are. When this people are hurt, his country will seek justice for him, and even send a large army to start a war. ”

"Then this monarch is a very stupid monarch, and his country must be constantly at war!" Zhou Dewei said in a deep voice, as if mocking.

Li Cunhuan shook his head and said, "No! His people are proud of that, can you believe that even if you are just one person, there is a country behind you to support that feeling? Just like Chen Tang's sentence, those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away! It's already getting your blood pumping. So when the kind of situation I just said arises, you yourself are the people of this country, will you be proud to be the people of this country? ”

Zhou Dewei said abruptly: "He is a monarch who is hated, but he is an emperor who is supported by the people. Is this what you want? ”

Li Cunhuan nodded and said, "Yes, I hope this situation will occur." When any person or even group wants to hurt the Han Chinese, they will be afraid of the revenge behind the strong man. At that time, even if I died, I could proudly say: I did not waste my time, I contributed my life's energy and life to my nation. ”

Speaking of this, Li Cunhuan looked at Zhou Dewei's eyes and asked seriously: "What is your greatest career now?" ”

Zhou Dewei scooped up the noodles in the iron pot, put them in a pottery bowl, and handed them to Li Cunhuan. "Make a gentleman, eat without speaking, sleep without speaking."

Li Cunhuan showed a helpless smile and took the pottery bowl. The silence in the tent only heard the wind whistling outside the tent, and when Li Cunhuan finished eating, he was just about to say something, Zhou Dewei had already picked up his and Li Cunhuan's bowls and said a word, so that you and I would wash the dishes, and he had already left the tent.

Li Cunhuan waited for a long time, but he didn't see Zhou Dewei come back. If it weren't for the neighing of the two war horses outside the tent from time to time, Li Cunhuan would have thought that Zhou Dewei had run away.

When the sky was bright, Li Cunhuan opened his eyes and found that he didn't know when he had fallen asleep. Looking around, he didn't find the existence of Zhou Dewei, and couldn't help but show a wry smile. Xindao: It seems that it is really self-inflicted, and it can't be lived!
