Chapter Twenty-Five: The Fiery Wood.
"No, not under any circumstances."
Ikoma was the first to react and roared out.
"Why not?" Wood sneered: "Their sacrifice is not worthless, they have saved all the people of the entire Iron City, sacrificing the minority to save the majority, this is the essence of this world." ”
"We didn't do anything wrong, did we?" Wood looked at the three samurai, his words full of seduction.
The three samurai looked at each other, and there was already a faint movement between their eyebrows.
And Wood believed that when they returned to the Iron City, after the three of them, most of the samurai would make similar decisions to them, including those who were afraid of death.
This lobbying cannot be carried out by himself, because even if Wood saves the Iron City a few times, he is destined to be an outsider.
It is often the insider's explanation that is most effective.
"Impossible!"
Jiuzhi Laiqi coldly confided three words.
"Are you sure?"
Wood smiled coldly, what he was waiting for was Jiuzhi Laiqi's rebuttal: "Even if your sacrifice saves the entire Iron City, what's the use?" Are you ready to give up that cowardly Iris Lady? ”
"What did you say?" Jiuzhi Laiqi's expression was cold, and his hand was already on the hilt of the knife.
"You and me...... No, everyone present knows that the eldest lady has been living under her father's care, and what would happen to her without you and the protection of Arakawa Kibito? ”
Jiuzhi didn't answer, as if he wasn't ready to continue listening to Wood's nonsense.
"In the end, she'll die."
Wood said to himself: "Although she has some opinions, maybe she will not be cowardly in a real crisis, but that is only some, without the protection of the two of you, in the end, those governance officials will definitely be dissatisfied with Calamus's decision, take advantage of the situation, and control the entire Iron City." ”
"And that eldest lady will definitely make concessions for the safety of the entire Iron City, but ......"
Wood raised his head, looked at Jiuzhi Laiqi's obviously ugly face and continued: "This is not the end, her existence is destined to affect the rule of those governance officials, and in the end, I don't know which night she will be put on a sack and thrown directly into a certain wilderness, if you are lucky, you can starve to death, and if you are unlucky, you will be bitten to death by Kabane, so you don't matter?" ”
“……”
Jiuzhi Laiqi's eyes were full of struggle, even if he didn't want to admit it, but he still understood the darkness in the upper echelons after following the former Lord of the Golden Post.
Although Wood's words were a bit exaggerated, Jiuzhi Laiqi understood that this possibility was not impossible, and there was a high probability that it would happen.
"Say no more."
Ikoma spoke in a cold tone, glaring at Wood: "If you don't want to go, you can go back, no one here will agree to what you say." ”
"Doesn't it see?" Wood shook his head.
"That...... I thought I could try it. A samurai said timidly.
With one person taking the lead, the other two warriors nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it will be much safer this way, and those sick and old people have not been able to help much; It was decided to leave them behind at the next safety station, and now that they are able to save more people, I think they will agree. ”
"You ......" Ikoma was furious, pointing at a few people who didn't know how to reprimand.
Nameless on the side seemed very quiet, and didn't say a word from beginning to end.
The atmosphere in the field suddenly became a little weird, Jiuzhi Laiqi's eyes were full of struggle, Wood's words completely grasped his weakness, after all, for Jiuzhi Laiqi, Sifang Chuan's iris was definitely the person he valued the most.
Make a choice between your family and someone who doesn't matter.
Wood felt that as long as he wasn't stupid, he would choose his family, or at least he would.
But......
Although there are few stupid people in this world, it is not impossible.
The struggle in Jiuzhi Laiqi's eyes gradually disappeared, and he once again regained his determined expression, and said: "I don't want to know what will happen after that, but I believe that even if Lord Calamus loses control of the Iron City, there will still be a samurai who will protect her in my place." ”
“……”
Wood's face sank.
"If you don't want to come, you can go back."
Jiuzhi Laiqi said coldly: "We have never forced you to do anything, and we don't need you to be grateful for anything, our samurai exist to protect the people in times of crisis. ”
"Protecting the population? As far as I know, every time Juncheng enters the post, a few innocent people are killed by you. ”
Ikoma frowned, but Wood's words resonated with him, and he had seen what Wood had said many times since he worked at the station.
"That's for the whole inn, to put an end to all dangers of being invaded by the Kabane." Arakawa Kibito, who had not spoken, spoke.
"Oh, then you're righteous people. It's just ......" The smile on Wood's face grew colder and colder: "What's the difference with me?" Isn't it what you've been doing to save more people by sacrificing a few? What's wrong with continuing to do it. ”
The barren river was suffocated, and the nine wisdom on the side also raised their eyebrows.
yes -
It doesn't make a difference.
Even if they didn't want to admit it, they knew that the inspection was no different from what Wood had said......
"Go back!"
Jiuzhi Laiqi knew that he couldn't talk about Wood, and he didn't argue with him, so he turned his head and glanced at the three warriors: "If you don't want to come with you, you can go back with him." ”
"Tsk."
Wood smashed his mouth: "Now let me go back, aren't you afraid that I will take the three of them to implement the plan just now?" I'm pretty sure I'll be able to convince those samurai! ”
Jiuzhi Laiqi was already about to take a step, and looked at Wood with a cold expression.
"What the hell do you want?"
"Well, don't be so excited, I didn't say I wouldn't go." Wood waved his hand and walked over to Nameless and Ikoma with his hands behind his head.
Jiuzhi Laiqi was stunned for a moment, and then said three very classic words: "You are so ......" The handsome face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and the eyes that looked at Wood were full of fire.
There's something wrong with this man, right?
Since you go, what's the matter with the crackling and choking me for a long time?
Ikoma and Nameless looked at Wood with strange expressions.
Seeing this, Wood grinned: "Then why are you looking at me, didn't you two say that you would save my little life?" ”
The two were slightly stunned.
Wood walked directly past them and walked towards the front, stretched lazily, tilted his head and smiled at the two: "I have never had any friends in my life, I finally met two, how about I entrust my most precious life to you now?" ”
Ikoma and Nameless glanced at each other, and a very bright smile appeared on their faces.
"Absolutely." Nameless patted his chest directly.
Ikoma pouted, "I think there's a reason why you don't have friends." ”
Wood's face darkened: "...... Can you die without talking? ”
Jiuzhi Laiqi and Arakawa Jibeitu looked at each other and smiled bitterly, what is this bastard here for?
"Gone!"
With a wave of his hand, Wood took the lead and headed in the direction Ikoma had pointed earlier, but as soon as he took two steps, the cargo walked back backwards, and then patted the confused Ikoma on the shoulder: "Come, you continue to lead the way." ”
Ikoma: "......"
"You guy......" Nameless gave Wood a kick and then smiled, "I thought you would really carry out the plan you said." ”
"It's impossible."
Wood glared at him exaggeratedly: "How kind that eldest lady is in the Sifang Chuan, how could she agree with me to do this." ”
Nameless pursed his lips and didn't speak.
Jiuzhi Laiqi on the side snorted coldly and turned his head directly to the side.
Can't implement it?
Everyone understands that it is not impossible.
Wood also understood, because he was 100% sure that he would only need to seize the power of the Quartet when the time came.
(Why didn't you do it?) )
Wood pouted as he put his hands behind his head and followed Ikoma.
Think ahead of all the risk factors that may occur, and never be impulsive.
But......
It's okay to be impulsive once in a while.
“……”
The three warriors who had been ruthlessly exploited by Wood looked at each other, all with puzzled expressions.
What's going on with this special situation of not being able to go up or down?
I just said so much that I turned my head and gave up?
Now that you have gone out directly and righteously, what should we do with the third brother?
There is no such thing as lack of virtue, right?
