Chapter 945: The Man Who Rode the Old Ox
Chapter 945: The Man Who Rides the Old Ox
A person appeared behind Fang Jie, and a person also appeared behind Yang Jian.
Fang Xie saw the tiger, and then saw Luo Weiran.
Fighting Tiger saw Yang Jian and Fang Jie.
Luo Weiran saw Fang Jie, Yang Jian, and Fighting Tiger.
It's a different perspective, a different focus.
"Fight the tiger!"
Yang Jian turned around and shouted at the tiger: "Quick! Help Big Brother stop that guy! ”
Fluttering Tiger obviously hesitated, but finally walked in front of Yang Jian. He glanced at Fang Jie, and then said to Yang Jian in a very heavy tone: "Big brother...... When I fled the battlefield and came back here, the most fearful thing was that one day you would run back like this. I used to think that if you did come back like this, I would pretend to turn a blind eye or run away again. This is not the life I want, and you are no longer the big brother I respected at the beginning...... Two hundred years ago, even when you slaughtered so many meritorious people, I could find an excuse for you to convince myself that all this was for the good of the Great Sui. ”
"But now...... When you start sucking the blood of your children and grandchildren, I really can't find a good reason to comfort myself. ”
"I'm your big brother!"
Yang Jian took a step back and looked at the tiger vigilantly: "No one is closer to you than me!" ”
"Yes...... You're my big brother. ”
Fighting Tiger smiled sadly: "So no matter how much I struggled and how unwilling I was in my heart, in the end I didn't run away but came out to stand in front of you." ”
Hearing this, Yang Jian's face softened significantly: "Fighting the tiger, no matter what, the brotherhood between you and me is still there." I know that I may have done some things a little too much, but I really did this for the good of Dasui. ”
"No"
Fluttering Tiger shook his head: "You are for yourself." ”
He pointed to himself: "When you asked me to lead my men and horses into battle, it was to build an ideal country in the minds of you and my brothers, a country that is fair and just, and the people are convinced. At that time, no matter what I did, I always believed in my heart that we could achieve our ideals. Now, you're putting me standing in front of you, just for yourself. ”
Yang Jian was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
He suddenly felt that the back was so far away from him, that was the tiger, his favorite brother, the most honest and upright tiger who valued family affection.
So Yang Jian was a little annoyed and felt that he had betrayed him all over the world.
Yes, it is the whole world that will betray him.
Fighting Tiger also seemed to have lost interest in saying anything more to Yang Jian, he turned to look at Fang Xie and smiled apologetically: "When I said goodbye on the bank of the Yangtze River, I made up my mind to leave that incomprehensible war. Because I know that everyone except myself has a clear expectation of the outcome of the war and knows what to fight for, but I don't know. So I wanted to run away and I fled, actually...... Isn't it because I don't want to be your enemy? ”
Fang Xie looked at the tiger and asked seriously, "Do you really want to block it for him?" ”
The tiger was silent for a while and then nodded: "To block." ”
"Never die?"
Fang Xie asked again.
"Yes"
Fluttering Tiger nodded again: "No matter how many wrong things he does, even if he is right to me, he has long lost the true affection between brothers, but I still can't watch him die and turn a blind eye." What he does is his business, and what I do is my business. ”
"Good"
Fang Xie suddenly turned around to leave: "I can't do it without dying with you, even if I leave a demon scourge in the world, I can't do it with you." If the premise of killing Yang Jian is that I kill you or you kill me, I can't do it. There is no deep friendship between you and me, but I know that you regard me as a friend, and you can kill me for Yang Jian, but ...... I'd rather regret not being able to kill a monster at the best time than remembering that I once killed a friend. ”
"I'm coming!"
Luo Weiran stepped in front of Fang Jie: "You have never been a person who seems to be a hero, you have too many shackles in your heart to overcome." The things you value are not worth considering at all in the eyes of a hero, but they will make you embarrassed and even give up. I was actually waiting from the day I returned to Chang'an City, waiting for that person to come back! ”
Luo Weiran pointed at Yang Jian: "He is not just a nightmare for one person, I must get rid of this nightmare if I want my beloved to live well without worries and fears." What you can't do, I'll do. ”
He got out of the way and did not continue to stop Fang Jie: "Go to Taiji Palace before you go back and tell her...... I can't go back. ”
Fang Jie's shoulders trembled slightly, and his steps became stiff.
"Why is there so much pain in the world?"
Tears fell from the corners of the tiger's eyes, and he turned around and asked Yang Jian: "Big brother, how many more people do we have to hurt?" ”
Yang Jian was stunned for a moment, then raised his chin and said: "I have created two hundred years of peace and health for the people of the world, and I have exchanged two hundred years of glory for my children and grandchildren, shouldn't they be grateful?" I'm just asking them to make some contributions now, and I'll give them another 200 years when I restore peace to the world...... No! Two thousand years, twenty thousand years, ten thousand years of peace and health! You all think I've done something wrong, but I know...... I! That's right! ”
……
……
Tears of the tiger
Yang Jian's heart
Why such a contradiction?
Luo Weiran resolutely bypassed Fang Xie and faced the two brothers. And Fang Xie became a little hesitant at this time, how good would it be if he was a ruthless person? How good would it be if he was a person like Yang Jian who could sacrifice everything for success? Even if he is a person who can do anything for himself like Shengtu...... But Fang Xie is not.
He's not a tyrant in the truest sense of the word.
In the eyes of others, he has too much of a woman's kindness in him. He is not willing to hurt his relatives and friends because of his desires, and he is not willing to hurt ordinary people for his own purposes. He is so different from so many heroes in this troubled world, so different that the enemy will admire and despise him.
If his heart is colder and harder, how can he care about fighting tigers?
Speaking of which, there really has nothing to do with him, from the first time they met, and then they drank goodbye, and the number of meetings between them was only a handful. Even if it is an ordinary person, when faced with the choice of interests, he will not be so entangled as Fang Jie. So Fang Xie is really not a very bold person, really not.
At least when it comes to making decisions about something, he's really not.
"Fight the tiger!"
Yang Jian gasped and said, "Whether it was then or now, the wish I told you at the beginning has not changed. My purpose of building a fair and just country where people can live a good life has not changed. But the premise of doing all this is that I want to live, and only when I live can I fight hard to achieve my ideals! If I die, what's the point of having dreams that I once had, no matter how good they were? ”
"You only see what is in front of you, and you see the means I use to achieve my ideals. But what's so doubtful about that? It is not the hesitation of the hypocrite in front of you that you want to succeed! As long as I live, give me a few years, and there is no need to be afraid of any more disasters in the Great Sui, because I will calm him! Even if there is really a powerful foreign enemy invading, I will take Da Sui Erlang to drive it out! ”
"Fight the tiger, help me stop them, just give me time to buy a stick of incense."
He said.
Fluttering Tiger looked at Fang Jie's back and didn't answer for a long time.
"Big brother, you will always find a lot of reasons to justify yourself, as if ...... Back then, you deliberately didn't save your second brother when he saw death......"
"Am I wrong about that?!"
Yang Jian asked angrily.
"It's the second brother, that's right...... The second brother wants to replace you, and he doesn't want to be subservient to you all the time. Before he died, he had said that he didn't regret it and didn't blame you, because every man has an emperor dream in his heart. He just didn't resist the temptation, and he couldn't blame anyone else for his death. However, the eldest brother ...... Why don't you want to take the opportunity to get rid of the second brother? ”
Hearing this, Yang Jian's already pale face changed again.
"Am I going to wait for him to kill me?"
He almost roared out like a beast.
"No...... Big brother, you didn't wait for the second brother to kill you, you deliberately gave the second brother many opportunities to tempt him to kill you, and then you can kill the second brother very justifiably or even calmly. Not many people know what happened 200 years ago, but you and I do. What is the allure of power for a man, I don't know...... I know that this desire for power has ruined the feelings of you and my brother. ”
The tiger didn't look back, didn't look at Yang Jian's angry face.
"When he came back, Lao Huang died...... I've been thinking, did I really come back just to give Lao Huang a good home? Or am I just selfishly trying to run away from it all? Later, I suddenly realized that there had been a voice in my heart that kept telling me that this was the destination...... More than 200 years ago, we should have stayed here. ”
After saying this, he smiled.
But there is no trace of joy, and the smile is sad.
"Big brother, you once said that no matter how good a friend is, no matter how close a partner is, it is not as good as a brother. Because we are connected by blood, that kind of affection is irreplaceable. I never doubted this sentence, even if you did so many wrong things, killed your second brother, and killed so many of your children and grandchildren, I never doubted this sentence. Because I know that at least the moment you say it, you are sincere. ”
"Even if it's wrong, it's not my fault alone!"
Yang Jian roared: "This is such a world, even if it is not you and me standing here today, it is not them, and it is the same if you are someone else!" That's what is eternal in human nature! ”
"yes...... Humanity"
Fluttering Tiger turned around and looked at Yang Jian: "So, I always felt that Lao Huang was the best friend, because he only asked me for food and nothing else." ”
"What do you mean?"
Yang Jian's eyes changed suddenly.
"Big brother, let's go. We don't belong to this world anymore, and I once told you, if you don't fulfill your wish to calm the world, and we all die, then don't be sad. When you get to the bottom, my second brother and I will help you realize your wish in another world. We...... Change places and fight the world again. ”
Flutter Tiger said.
He beckoned, and an old ox suddenly appeared from behind Yang Jian, running over with his head up, and let out a deep and distant cry.
It wasn't the real old cow, the old cow was dead, sleeping quietly in the lonely grave deep in the dungeon.
No one thought that when the tiger appeared in front of them, he had already made a decision to leave part of his cultivation power behind Yang Jian, and he actually transformed this part of his cultivation power into the appearance of an old scalper. The old scalper has a pair of obtuse horns on his head, and the years have made the horns rounded and not sharp.
These blunt angles pierced Yang Jian's back deeply.
The old scalper rushed forward against Yang Jian, and Yang Jian twisted his body violently. However, he was exhausted after shaking with Fang Xie for so many days, and the little bit of cultivation he had left couldn't break the old scalper apart. The old scalper seemed to feel the call of the tiger and ran towards the tiger.
"Goodbye, friend."
The other party smiled: "Thank you for treating me as a friend......"
Before he finished his words, the old scalper bumped into him against Yang Jian. The tiger beckoned, and the mysterious pu fan flew over, and the umbrella handle pierced through the back of Yang Jian's head...... The tiger grabbed the handle of the umbrella and twisted it, and Yang Jian's skull immediately shattered. Then the tiger turned over and rode on the illusory old ox, carrying a pu fan, dragging Yang Jian's headless corpse and rushing into the depths of the underground palace: "I'll take him away, you all go, this is the mausoleum of our Yang family...... Don't bother them anymore. ”
"Fight the tiger!"
Fang Xie shouted, to catch up from behind.
"Don't come with me, and don't try to save me...... If I lived, I would have suffered even more. ”
The sound came from afar, and then the floodgates of the dungeon fell heavily.
Fang Xie and Luo Weiran didn't expect things to turn out like this, and they were a little overwhelmed when they stood there.
"Perhaps...... That way, he would feel more at ease. ”
Luo Weiran walked up to Fang Xie and patted Fang Xie on the shoulder: "Don't think about it anymore, your sadness may not be his sadness." Maybe he wanted this a long time ago, and he wasn't sad. As a friend, why should you be sad? ”
He thought Fang Xie would answer something, but Fang Xie didn't say a word.
Then, it fell softly.
He...... Isn't it exhaustion?
