Chapter 271: The Infernal Path

There was no news of Song Qingyun from Rong Lu's mouth, Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er were slightly disappointed, Hong Yun'er clasped her hands under her lips, and prayed softly: "God, please bless Qingyun to cross into a good family safely, don't suffer hardships......

Seeing that Hong Yun'er was chattering, Xiao Yungui comforted: "It's okay, maybe the Qingyunji people have their own natural appearance, and the people who pass through the possession are richer than us?" ”

Hong Yun'er exclaimed: "Oh, Qingyun don't cross into a rich girl." ”

Hearing this, Rong Lu's body trembled slightly, and his face became very unnatural, but Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er didn't notice him, Xiao Yungui smiled dumbly and said: "It's not such a coincidence, don't worry, Qingyun is a person who travels through like us, and he also knows this history, even if he can't be a blockbuster, he can always do it." Look at Lu Sixuan, he is dressed as Ronglu, isn't he also living a good life? ”

Rong Lu smiled faintly and said, "It's hard to say that you are doing well, you finally didn't lose your life." ”

Xiao Yungui turned his head to look at Rong Lu and said, "Sixuan, I want to ask you, why did you help the Manchus suppress the Shanghai Knife Society?" Don't you know that the Manchus lost power and humiliated the country on top of this history, and played a dishonorable role. ”

Rong Lu took a sip of tea, and asked instead of answering: "You also know that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was founded by theocracy, and although the uprising has been going on for more than ten years, Zuihou is still defeated, why do you want to help the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?" ”

Xiao Yungui snorted and said: "The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has always been an uprising of the Han people, it is a movement to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this era overthrows the Manchu Qing Dynasty, restores the Han family, and then competes with the great powers Isn't it the main theme of this era?" ”

Rong Lu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't say so much benevolence and righteousness, you are just trying to save your life, if the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement fails." Both of you will be executed by the Manchu Qing Lingchi. If you had crossed over to become a Manchu like me, you would have helped the Manchus suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Everyone is trying to save their hard-won second life, what Manchurians, Han people, these years and months human life is as cheap as a dog, Taiping kills Qing demons, Qing court kills bandits, everyone is just to survive. ”

Xiao Yungui's face sank, if he heard Rong Lu's words at the beginning of the crossing, he would definitely blush, because Rong Lu said his original thoughts. But now Xiao Yungui has experienced how many battles. After many things, my thoughts have long been different. Xiao Yungui stared at Rong Lu with blazing eyes, and said slowly: "Lu Sixuan, you are right, at first I thought the same as you. It's just to save my life and live a better life. But after this time. Yun'er and I were born and died together. I get a point. ”

Rong Lu smiled contemptuously and said: "I didn't expect that the rich son of the past would come to understand the truth, but I want to hear what the truth is." ”

Hong Yun'er also looked at Xiao Yungui curiously, she had never heard Xiao Yungui say that he had realized any truth, but recently she felt that Xiao Yungui was different from before, which was true.

Xiao Yungui sighed lightly and said: "Some people are alive, but he is dead; Some people died. He's alive. There are people who ride on the heads of the people: 'Oh, how great I am!' Some of them bent down and served as cattle and horses for the people. Some people carve their names into stone and want to be immortal; Some people are willing to be weeds and wait for the fire to burn. There are people. If he lives, no one else can live; Some people, he lives for the majority of people to live more haode. The people who rode on the heads of the people threw him down; The people who were cattle and horses for the people will always remember him! Names carved into stone rot earlier than corpses; As long as the spring breeze blows, the place is full of green weeds. If he lives, others can't live, his fate can be seen; He lived for the sake of the more well-lived people of the majority, and the masses lifted him very high, very high. You should remember this poem by Zang Kejia to commemorate Lu Xun. ”

Rong Lu clapped his hands and smiled: "What a song "Some People", I can't imagine that the children of the past will also be sad and compassionate about all beings in the world, it seems that you want to leave your name in history and be famous for a hundred years." ”

Rong Lu's words were obviously ironic, Hong Yun'er couldn't listen to it, and couldn't help but want to help Xiao Yungui justify, but Xiao Yungui smiled and grabbed Hong Yun'er, and said lightly: "Even if the name is left in history and will be the name of Xiao Chaogui, the western king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, have you forgotten that we are all in other people's shells now, bearing other people's names?" My Xiao Yungui's name will always be in another shijie, or the reputation of that gentleman, it won't change anything, I'm not for fame at all! ”

Rong Lu played with the teacup in his hand and chuckled, "Oh, not for fame? Do you have anything else to pursue? ”

Xiao Yungui chuckled and said: "Lu Sixuan, Lu Sixuan, I know that you used to be a small farmer, because you are a student from the countryside, and you have an inextricable inferiority complex in your heart. ”

Rong Lu's face turned dark, and he said angrily: "What did you say?!" ”

Hong Yun'er saw that the two were arguing, so she hurriedly stood up and persuaded, "Can you two talk without thorns?" We're classmates! ”

Xiao Yungui and Rong Lu stared angrily for a moment, Rong Lu slowly sat down and said wistfully: "Say it quickly, why do you want to assist the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, those strange and chaotic peasants, I don't think they can achieve great things!" ”

Xiao Yungui also sat down, and said: "Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing are indeed strange and chaotic peasants, they are in the dark era of history, and it is natural that they can't see the way forward, if you and I don't have the historical memory of our previous lives, maybe they are not as good as them." ”

Rong Lu snorted, glanced at Hong Yun'er, and finally didn't say anything sarcastic.

Xiao Yungui continued: "You are familiar with history, our country is in the midst of opportunities and crises, it is among the variables that have not been seen for thousands of years, if we can overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and establish a modern civilized country, maybe we can change the subsequent hundred years of humiliating history, what burned the Old Summer Palace, what the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, what the Eight-Nation Alliance, what the War of Resistance against Japan, maybe we can avoid it." Yun'er and I now have soldiers, territory, money and food, and we have the ability to turn things around! As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, when you are only in charge of a few people, just like you are a small foreman in a company, you will only think about your own food and clothing. When you have hundreds of people, just like you are the manager of an enterprise, you will think about how to make your employees live better. When you have hundreds of thousands, if not millions, in your hands, you don't just think about simple questions. It is your responsibility to ensure the lives of those under you, as Zang Kejia said in his poem, he lives for the sake of the majority of people. I live to make the people who follow me more alive, and then we can create miracles that will make our suffering country stand on the top of Shijie again! ”

Xiao Yungui's words did not have the slightest exaggeration and hypocrisy, this is the result of thinking about it for a long time these days, starting from the Battle of Changsha, he was deceiving others to work for himself, and then he experienced several major wars, he saw many Taiping soldiers sacrifice their lives for their beliefs, and he slowly changed his mind. It wasn't until Zuo Zongtang was lured by his rhetoric that he knew that Zuo Zongtang abandoned his wife for his ideals, that he completely understood this truth. Sometimes there is no difference between a humble person and a great person, and when your responsibilities are magnified, you are naturally a great person.

After a long time, Rong Lu didn't speak, he lowered his head and was thinking about something, as if he was a little moved, Xiao Yungui struck while the iron was hot and said: "The Manchu Qing Dynasty has rotted to the bones, don't you know how the Westernization Movement and the Hundred Days Restoration failed, a decadent and conservative feudal court, how can you expect to transform it?" To transform it, the only way to transform it is to completely overthrow it, completely overthrow it! ”

Hong Yun'er also said: "Yes, Sixuan, the three of us are classmates, since God wants us to travel back, it must be to let us do something, although we can't change the history of the original time and space, but we can change the history of this time and space." Although there are many mistakes in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, as long as we make good use of the known history, it is not impossible to push it on the right path, and it is better than helping the Manchus to massacre innocent people. ”

After being silent for a long time, Rong Lu finally spoke, "I'm willing to do it with you, but Xiao Yungui, you can't command me!" ”

Xiao Yungui frowned slightly and said with a smile: "Then what do you want?" ”

Rong Lu looked at the two of them and said lightly: "I will continue to stay on the side of the Qing army and find out the news for you, you can rest assured, I will not reveal my historical experience to the Manchu Qing Dynasty again, let alone help the Qing army kill innocent people, in short, I will stay on the side of the Qing army to be your internal response until you hit Beijing City." ”

Xiao Yungui stroked his palms and smiled: "Okay, Sixuan, you stay on the Manchu side to play Infernal Affairs, we should join forces inside and outside, and the Manchus will be defeated faster!" ”

Hong Yun'er also said happily: "That's good, you don't have to be estranged by identity, we are still good classmates and good friends." ”

Rong Lu nodded and said: "Since I have cooperated with you, I will tell you that the Qing court has sent more than 20,000 troops with Shengbao to help, and you can prepare to go out of the team after you go back tonight, and take him by surprise." ”

Xiao Yungui sighed and said, "Where are the Shengbao soldiers?" Sixuan, how do you think we should fight? Saying that, Xiao Yungui unfolded a map, Rong Lu was not polite, pointed to the map and said: "Shengbao soldiers are stationed here, tonight the Jiangbei battalion will pick up the wind and wash the dust for him, and the garrison of the camp will be lax, let's ...... like this."

After the three of them discussed for a while, they said that they would send troops tomorrow, and then Xiao Yungui told Rong Lu that they were still in contact with each other through the Zhitong monk of Fajing Temple, and the Zhitong monk was Tong Qiangsheng's distant uncle who had been doing things for Bai Zetang, and the identity of the senior monk was his most haode cover.

Rong Lu, Xiao Yungui, and Hong Yun'er discussed the contact person, and after discussing the code words of the correspondence, they got up and said goodbye.

Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er sent him out of the canopy, Xiao Yungui patted Rong Lu on the shoulder and said, "You are alone over there and no one takes care of you, you have to be careful in everything, if there is really danger, you should come to our side as soon as possible." ”

Rong Lu smiled and said, "I don't want to be your subordinate, don't worry, I'll be careful." With that, Rong Lu jumped into a small boat and drove to the north shore, and after a short time he disappeared into the darkness. (To be continued......)
