Chapter 158: The Dog in Troubled Times
Far away, Fan Lixiang and the others ran wildly in the woods, Fan Lixiang suddenly saw that Chen Ying did not follow, stopped and looked back dozens of meters behind, looking at the white spot on the hill, as if she could see a little girl with her hands around her delicate body, cold, helpless, desperate, hovering on the edge of death.
"Stop." Fan Lixiang raised his hand, and the group stopped, and the five-mile run was already out of breath, and the soldiers received the order to rest, and collapsed to the ground all of a sudden.
Fan Lixiang, who was dressed in yellow, stepped on the accumulated leaves, rustled towards Chen Ying, stood beside Chen Ying, and looked at the small white dots shrouded in the sunset glow in the distance.
"What, can't you bear it?"
Chen Ying was silent for a long time, shook his head slowly, and muttered: "I just can't agree, I can't understand how I can use a girl's filial piety to threaten her life, do this, isn't there a trace of guilt in the young lady's heart?" ”
Chen Ying felt that since he returned to Guiyang with Fan Lixiang, he had lived in inner struggle and torment every day, defrauding Liu Qi, and the reason given by Fan Lixiang was that Liu Qi could not give her power forever, which only Liu Zhang could do.
The reason given by Fan Lixiang is that this can completely cut off Liu Qi's back road, and it can make the Jingzhou army lose the hearts of the people, so as to facilitate the rule of the Sichuan army in the future.
And now, Chen Ying felt that what Fan Lixiang had done had exceeded his bottom line, Chen Ying initially followed Fan Lixiang because of Liu Zhang's order and Fan Chang's old kindness, and only regarded Fan Lixiang as a young lady, but later, Fan Lixiang's methods made him unconsciously become Fan Lixiang's real subordinate.
And now, it is a subordinate who questions the behavior of Shangguan.
"No wonder, no wonder you didn't make any move when I motioned to you to take down the old man just now." Fan Lixiang said lightly, her expression unusually calm.
Fan Lixiang looked into the distance and breathed a sigh of relief, the smile on her face looked enchanting in the dark curtain of the woods.
"As the saying goes, I'd rather be a dog in a prosperous world than a person in troubled times, but in this era, there are dogs in troubled times everywhere, Chen Ying, put away your useless sympathy and pity, this kind of waste-like behavior will only turn you into a dog in troubled times."
Chen Ying was speechless, maybe what Fan Lixiang said was right, but he couldn't agree in his heart.
"My lord walked Jingyi Erzhou, from Jiangzhou to Brazil, from Brazil to Hanzhong, and then from Hanzhong to Wuling, Wuling to Chaisang, and more than 10,000 people have been slaughtered, do you know why?
Looking at the behavior of adults, adults do not want to kill, and there is even the same useless sympathy in their bones as you.
So he was too tolerant of the people around him, able to endure a barbarian girl dangling in front of him, able to endure a group of pedantic Wenchen being impatient in front of him, and did not kill Wei Yan, or even a woman who had always wanted to assassinate him.
The adult killed all the way, not out of his own heart, but he knew that if he didn't break it, he would rather bear the infamy of the world, but also move forward in the direction he set, one more person died today, maybe tomorrow, there will be more people living with peace of mind. ”
Fan Lixiang and Liu Zhang have not known each other for a long time, but since Fan Lixiang decided to change her life, Liu Zhang has become her only possible support.
It turns out that it is possible for Liu Zhang to give her everything she wants, although it requires her to work ten times more hard than a man to fight for, but at least there is hope, which is why Fan Lixiang has always been steadfast in doing things for Liu Zhang.
"Could it be that Miss has done so many things for the sake of this world?" Chen Ying asked.
"Huh." Fan Lixiang suddenly burst out laughing, as if she had heard something extremely funny, and raised her pink jade face, "The world? What does the world have to do with me, a little woman? I just want to get the right to live like a man in this troubled world, and I don't care about anything else.
I am a woman, and in this troubled world, I need to give more things to gain the same power as you men, so I will not learn from adults, and I will not hesitate to sacrifice anything except myself.
The adult remained surprisingly calm at all times, and when everyone was disagreeing, he always understood what he was going to do, but he still couldn't avoid this useless sympathy, and one day, the adult would pay for it. ”
Fan Lixiang's eyes flashed, and her face was determined.
The sunset sank down the dark peaks, and the fiery sunset shone on the hill where the girl stood, Fan Lixiang turned her head and said to Chen Ying with a sharp look: "Chen Ying, this afternoon's incident, I hope it will happen to you for the first and last time, I know that you are not afraid of death, but a subordinate who does not obey orders, for me, it is useless to live." ”
After Fan Lixiang finished speaking, he turned around and left, calling the resting soldiers to continue on his way, Chen Ying took one last look at the girl on the hill, hesitated, and followed Fan Lixiang's footsteps.
………………
"Who is your leader?"
Jingzhou soldiers surrounded the hills, when they found that the girl was not Fan Lixiang, the leader was annoyed and angry, and was about to kill to vent his hatred, the girl came up with such a sentence, and then Wang Wei walked up.
The situation of Wang Wei and the Jingzhou soldiers is not much better than that of Fan Lixiang and his party, and Fan Lixiang also grabs something from time to time under the banner of the Jingzhou soldiers, Wang Wei only brought a little dry food allocated, and now it has been eaten, and the soldiers have not eaten enough for a few meals, and they can only turn back if they can't catch up with Fan Lixiang.
But at this time, she was completely disappointed, but she didn't expect Fan Lixiang to call a girl to pretend to be her, which attracted the attention of the Jingzhou soldiers from afar, Wang Wei angrily threw the long knife to the ground, and the soldiers stood unkempt, the lake wind blew, and it was desolate under the glow.
"I'll kill you." The soldier was depressed, and a general who had been suppressed for a long time finally couldn't bear it, and when he lifted the knife, he vented all his resentment against Fan Lixiang on the girl, and he was about to slash it down.
After delaying for so long, seeing that it was getting dark, Fan Lixiang couldn't catch up, and now Wang Wei's heart was as cold as death, and he didn't want to care what his subordinates did, maybe this girl really volunteered to die for Fan Lixiang.
"Let me say a word, and then I will kill or chop you up." The girl raised her head: "I am Xu Zhaoxue, Sima Hui is my master, Pang Degong calls me granddaughter, I know these relationships, if it is a weekday, Jingzhou soldiers will not kill me, but now you are at the end of the road, you will not miss the past, if you want to kill, kill it." ”
The girl closed her eyes.
Wang Wei turned around, and then saw Xu Zhaoxue's face clearly, Xu Zhaoxue is the daughter of the wealthy family of Lujiang, but since she was a child, she has visited all directions, learned some strange arts, and has also been treated by Sima Hui Pang Degong and other Jingxiang masters, strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with it, but Sima Hui and others really like this girl very much.
