"And you agreed to my proposal. This decision may be made because you also respect the enemy, but more importantly, you must have the same idea in your own heart - you are also afraid that your excessive cathartic power will accidentally hurt others, so in order to avoid this place, you and I came to a duel from the forest. ”

"So you and Ying Zheng Bai Qi are not the same, in your heart, you actually care about the life and death of other people!" Lian Po took a breath and said a lot of words vigorously, only to feel that his face was a little red, but his eyes were still firm. Although they are only one-sided friends, he believes that Zhong Wuyan's essence is by no means an evil person who will careless of people's lives.

After Zhong Wuyan heard Lian Po say this, her whole expression changed, but she didn't reply immediately. She only suddenly stretched her frowning brow, and then calmed down for a long time. "That's right, I'm really different from Bai Qi, and I don't want to kill people if I can."

"But those people deserve to die!" Zhong Wuyan let out a low snort, and his gaze suddenly became sharp again. "As you said, people know that Emperor Yingzheng is bent on tyranny, but why are so many people still on his side? Well? ”

"Do you think there are so many Praetorian Guards, why are they all on the side of Yingzheng? Is it just because they are stupidly loyal to the emperor? No, it's because they worship the imperial power, because the emperor will bestow them glory and wealth. And with glory and wealth, with money, there is everything. Therefore, so many people, for the sake of money and wealth, have given up the country and chosen Yingzheng! ”

"Since they chose to sell their lives for money, then they deserve it, they deserve to die on the battlefield for Emperor Yingzheng, and they deserve to be used by Bai Qi to fight against the Hundred Beast Legion, they deserve to die. I don't want to kill anyone, but they deserve to die just as well! Zhong Wuyan said, her eyes and voice became more and more excited, as if there was an inexplicable anger rising in her body.

"Human lives are cheap, and their lives are like money, so they deserve to die......" "What about you?" Lian Po interrupted Zhong Wuyan's voice as he continued, and asked in a deep voice, "In that case, why do you want to help Yingzheng?" ”

"Me?" Zhong Wuyan repeated her confused voice, as if she was asking herself, and then she was silent for a moment, then exhaled a breath of turbid air and said slowly. "Man dies for money, and birds die for food." "Yingzheng promised me that as long as I help him go into battle to kill the enemy and use it for him, when he achieves the great cause of the emperor, he will give me the Golden Pavilion Baiyutang and countless wealth! For the sake of this money, I will stand on his side, kill as many people as I want for him, and fight as many battles as I want! ”

"I'm just like those soldiers who don't want money to die, I'm also in it for money." "Money? Do you think so too? For the sake of money, you can give up your own morality and principles, and even ignore your family and country. Lian Po asked in a deep voice with a suspicious tone.

"That's right! That's what I thought! Zhong Wuyan fixed his eyes and said without hesitation. But then again, does it matter what I think? That's the fucking pee sex in this world! "Human life is light, and money is more expensive than people!" "In this world, everyone will bend their waist for money! Am I anything special? Can't I help Yingzheng for money? That's who I am. ”

"My life is cheap." Zhong Wuyan said this last sentence in a deep voice, but she couldn't hear any joy, anger and sorrow.

"Is that so...... If you were to say that, then I really don't have anything to say. Lian Po frowned slightly sadly, and said in a deep voice, "For money...... This is indeed a reason to understand and be convinced. "But I still want to tell you...... There are indeed many people in the world who regard money as their life, but no matter how important money is, it is only a foreign object after all. And everyone has their own value, and they should also have their own morality. "As for human life, no one's life is despised - the nobility of life itself cannot be measured by money."

"Petropolitan! Ignorance! Amusing! Zhong Wuyan sneered, "I didn't expect that such an iron-clad man as you would also believe in that kind of evil and crooked truth!" "What life is noble? What money can't be measured? Zhong Wuyan said, angrily scolding, "It's all fucking bullshit!" "Only fools like you who have not experienced poverty, have not experienced hardship, and live in a stable world will think so!" "What else do you say that money is not important, and people have their own value? If you have a kind, you can try it, and if you don't have money, you can try it! You'll know how cheap human life is! ”

Lian Po listened to Zhong Wuyan's various sneers and angry reprimands, and felt a little confused while being angry, so he didn't make a sound for a moment. It wasn't until Zhong Wuyan's voice stopped that he suppressed his emotions and asked slowly. "Why...... No offense, but why, when it comes to the topic of 'money', you are always so excited? "Why?" Zhong Wuyan asked rhetorically, and couldn't help sneering, "Because I used to be a fool who lived in a stable world and didn't know that money was more expensive than life!" "That's why—so many brothers and ...... I died"—six years ago—just after the vernal equinox, the pale white jasmine flowers would bloom all over the hillside, and the fragrance would be sent to everyone by the gentle monsoon wind.

At that time, the cicada pupae were still waiting to break the ground, the little snake was poking its eyes out of its sleep, the lark was fluttering among the leaves, and a cheerful little song was already floating carefree, riding the same monsoon wind, waving to the scent of jasmine. It's a simple tune, without complicated tunes and gorgeous movements, as simple as birdsong in the mountains.

But that simple and cheerful rhythm can touch the hearts of ordinary people more than any superb music. Because, happiness itself, is very simple. At least that's what she always thought. The woman in her twenties, in the prime of her youth, sat on a stout ginkgo tree, leaned against the solid branches, held a stick of grass in her mouth, and hummed a little song leisurely. It was not until the spring light reached its peak in the afternoon that the noisy crowd gradually came from the bottom of the mountain, so the woman moved her lazy eyebrows, pricked up her ears to listen carefully, and heard the shouts coming from afar. "Boss! Top dog! We've got something good for you! The voice came from a long distance, and it kept shouting, as if more often than footsteps. After a few minutes, a group of more than 100 people appeared in the woods, all of them were all dressed in the coarsest cloth clothes, as young as ten years old, as old as thirty years old, all of them were of any age, but Zhong Wuyan, who was twenty-five years old, raised his head and looked around at the people standing in the woods, and glanced at them with adoring glances on their faces. Then he slowly fell his gaze on the three people in front of him.

The three people from left to right are Da Hei, Er Fat and Three Dogs, they are all in their twenties, and they look more mature than the others, but they have different appearances, so they look very different. "What's going on, let's talk about it." Zhong Wuyan looked at him slightly, put on a very big look, and asked in a deep voice. "Boss, I say!" The three dogs, standing on the far right, shouted most actively. The three dogs are thin and tall, with fast mouths and very positive in everything they do. So much so that Da Hei and Er Fat always felt that he was a dog full of chicken blood. Especially when he looked at Zhong Wuyan, he was always in high spirits. If it weren't for the wine jar in his hand, he would almost have danced with his hands.

"Just the...... The mouth ......" The fat on the side pisted, and it took the boss to spit out the last word," ...... Mouth - mouth fast! "The second fat man is an authentic fat man, a height of one meter five and a body of three hundred pounds. His figure always makes Da Hei and Sangouzi wonder, in the days when he can't eat enough for more than ten years, he can grow a fat body that only a landlord's family has, which is really strange. And in addition to being fat, the second fat also has a conspicuous shortcoming, that is, he stutters! "That's better than you stuttering!" The three dogs glanced at Zhong Wuyan with a white face, and immediately looked at Zhong Wuyan with a smile, excited, "Boss, boss, we met more than a dozen children who have no food in the town today, all of them are fifteen or sixteen years old, their families are gone, they are helpless, and two people are disabled......"

"But they're all good boys! I especially worship our stone village and want to join us in mixing the rivers and lakes with us, so we brought them here...... I don't know, boss, what do you think? "Hmm. Well. Zhong Wuyan raised her eyebrows calmly, bowed her head while listening, and then said in a deep voice, "Very good, very good, those who want to join us in Shizhai and go to the rivers and lakes with Lao Tzu are all good young men, and they should be supported." "Our stone village has always been a refusal to come! As long as everyone has enthusiasm and righteousness, they are our brothers in the village! ”

"Good! Good! After hundreds of people heard Zhong Wuyan's reply, they immediately clapped their hands and applauded, very much in line with Zhong Wuyan's speech. As for the dozen or so young people who were standing at the very edge, the newly joined teenagers, after hearing Zhong Wuyan's words of being willing to take them in, they also immediately shouted with emotion, "Thank you, boss." "In the future, you will be the people of Shizhai, my brother Zhong Wuyan and Zhong Sledgehammer!" If there is a bite for me, there will be a bite for everyone. People who don't have a place to live live in our cottage! Zhong Wuyan raised his gaze and said in a deep voice to the newly joined teenagers, with the demeanor of a gangster in the rivers and lakes, shining brightly in the crowd. But Boss, we don't have a cottage yet......" Da Hei, who was standing on the side, said silently with a straight face.

Da Hei, as his name suggests, has a surprisingly black complexion all over his body, as if he was born in a coal mine. And he is very upright, until the second fat and the third dog always feel that his brain is also hacked. "Ahem." Hearing Da Hei's straightforward voice, Zhong Wuyan, who was angry, flashed his tongue in an instant, so he subconsciously coughed twice. Then Zhong Wuyan glanced at Da Hei in embarrassment, and asked, "Please, can you not be so Geng next time?" That's what Lao Tzu said the first two times when he made a new speech. Didn't I ask you to build a cottage later? "But boss, we don't have any money, we can't build a cottage." Da Hei still said with a straight face. This time, even the second fat and the third dog choked on the side, and hurriedly went to block the big black mouth, as he said, their stone village not only has no village, but also has no money, no penny. "Can't you do it without money? Who said that you must use money to build a cottage, how many times have I told you, money is dung, don't mention money for everything, it is vulgar for people in the rivers and lakes to raise money! ”

"Da Hei, let me tell you, I'll leave this matter to you, don't need money, find a way to build the cottage. We Jianghu people have to be vigorous and courageous in doing things, you know! Don't talk about money from old mothers. Zhong Wuyan said as he looked at Da Hei. Okay, Boss, got it, Boss. Da Hei nodded hurriedly. Okay, what else do you have to do, what are you doing with a wine jar? Zhong Wuyan eased his expression, and then found that Da Hei, Er Fat, and Three Dogs all had a big wine jar in their hands, so he asked curiously. Report to the boss, this is the wine made by Uncle Wang, the owner of the wine cellar in the town. Wine! The three dogs said most positively.

"Today, after joining these dozen brothers, there are one hundred and eight people in our stone village, more than one hundred! That's a good sign! So we all feel that we should find a few jars of wine to celebrate, and wish our stone village a bright future and a great victory! "Uh-huh." Zhong Wuyan frowned slightly, and slowly bowed her head, "The idea is good, the idea is good." The development of Stone Village is so smooth, we should celebrate. ”

"But...... How did you get this wine? "Hey, hey, hey......" Sangouzi looked at Zhong Wuyan, and after laughing a few times, he said, "We, we don't have any money, right?" So we went straight to the village brothers at this time from the mountain rushed down violently, more than 100 people stood all over the wide official road, blocking in front of the officers and soldiers, completely blocking the road. "Who are you! Dare to block the way of the government! At the front of the officers and soldiers, Captain Huang, who was riding a tall horse, suddenly shouted in surprise. The line does not change its name, and it does not change its surname. Lao Tzu is the stone village that everyone knows in all directions - Zhong Sledgehammer. Zhong Wuyan sank the hammer in his hand to the ground, raised his head and shouted, the momentum was so strong that he immediately drank the officers and soldiers in front of him. And she deliberately only said her nickname "Zhong Da Hammer", waiting for the person opposite to exclaim her name.

However, the officers and soldiers were only shocked, and Captain Huang also cautiously examined Zhong Wuyan, and then turned around and asked in surprise like the people around him, "Who is this person and what is the ......?" "I don't know, it seems that bandits came to rob all the way." ”

"I think it's the same, look at their appearance, their clothes are all torn, and they shouldn't be a powerful bandit, don't be afraid." So after Commander Huang took a deep breath, he looked at Zhong Wuyan with a majestic face, and said, "Zhong Dazhu, the name is very distinctive-but the acquaintance quickly let Lao Tzu get out of the way."
