"I heard it's thrilling?" An Xiaoyu sat on the edge of Wei Qingxuan's bed, picked up an apple from the bedside table and peeled it, and the apple peel was refined into a circle of beautiful rolls hanging down from An Xiaoyu's palm, which was pleasing to the eye.

"Thrilling?" Wei Qingxuan smiled and said: "It's quite thrilling, I almost died, fortunately, the second uncle is here, otherwise I will directly explain over there." ”

An Xiaoyu put the apple on the plate and cut it into small pieces, then inserted a toothpick and put it on Wei Qingxuan's stomach and said, "You should have told me earlier, if you told me that you were going to do this, I wouldn't let you take such a risk." ”

"You think we're all fools?" Wei Qingxuan smiled: "I, Leng Yan, and Mu Si, no one is a fool, everyone can see that you have been in a bad mood recently, we do like to ask you to help in normal times, but it also depends on the time, right?" ”

Wei Qingxuan said, eating a piece of apple: "Why didn't you know that you could peel an apple before?" ”

An Xiaoyu held the fruit knife and played a knife flower: "I didn't know it before, but then I practiced the knife, wouldn't it?" ”

The two of them laughed, and when the joke was over, the whole room fell silent.

Wei Qingxuan ate the apples one by one, and there was no apple left on the plate, the toothpick was placed diagonally on the edge of the plate, and the warm wind blew in from the entrance of the air conditioner, blowing the hem of the sheets.

Outside the window, an old tree was covered with snow, and a few sparrows were standing, cowering, hiding their small bodies on the dead branches. In this cold winter, every creature must be cautious, and the slightest carelessness is a catastrophe.

Wei Qingxuan looked at the sparrow outside the window and said, "Actually, I've been thinking about this kind of almost for a long time. ”

An Xiaoyu looked at Wei Qingxuan's expression, it was an inexplicably familiar expression, which made An Xiaoyu feel a palpitation, but he didn't know where he had seen such an expression.

His tone was very light and distant, as if he was on the other side of the world.

"You should know what the heir of a family really looks like." Wei Qingxuan turned around and whispered to An Xiaoyu: "I still have some friendship with your cheap big brother An Ming, or I have sympathy for the same disease, and you also know what state he is in now." ”

"Since I was a child, I have been taught that as the eldest man of the family, I have to endure more pain and hardship, and I have to work harder, in order to be worthy of my status as the eldest son and the heir of the family, in order to let the family continue to prosper, because everything I have comes from the family."

"When I was very young, I didn't know what a sense of family honor was, and everyone in my family was reluctant to walk with me because of my eldest male status. Because adults are afraid, for fear of being on the wrong side when an heir is still young and can't see the future clearly, they always look at people like me with a wait-and-see attitude. ”

"Immediately after that, my younger brothers were born, the second brother, and the third brother were soon born, two years older than me, three years old, and when the fourth brother was born, we were both ten years old, so the fourth brother completely got rid of the process of fighting for the heir, and grew up carefree."

"And the three of us, all in sympathy and competition with each other, began to accept various courses arranged by the family, from management to history, from empire to alien race, all knowledge was forcibly instilled into our heads, and we must remember that once we fail, we will fall."

"It's not a good thing to fall from a position like this. Perhaps many people will feel that if they have completely lost the competitiveness of their heirs, will they become carefree like other ordinary children? However, this is not the case. ”

"No matter what you say, no one will ever believe you, because once you come into contact with this kind of power dispute, all words can be regarded as lies. Even if you say that you want to break away from the family completely, others will only see it as a delaying tactic, and even if you are really degenerating, they will also think that you are Taoguang and obscure. ”

"Therefore, if you want to get the life you want, you must fight, and you must fight over others, so that you can get your own freedom earlier." Wei Qingxuan said: "This is what my second uncle told me when I was twelve years old. ”

"The second uncle is the person I admire and envy the most in the family, and there is no one. Even if others say he's a prodigal, he's a scoundrel, and he just uses that kind of ...... Gongfa cultivation has become a grandmaster, but in my heart, the second uncle's attitude towards life is never something that can be replaced by a cultivation realm. ”

"So although I don't understand very well, I still listened to the words of the second uncle, I went to fight, I went to fight, and I also fought over other people, I became the official heir of the family, and at this time I realized how wise my choice was."

"After I went to university, I completely had my own freedom, and I had more and more power to speak in the family, and it became more and more convenient to act, which was a feeling that I had never felt before, and I began to gradually understand the family's intentions."

"Every family in the imperial capital has been inherited for countless years, and they will always have more experienced experience than the empire in dealing with the struggle for inheritance and managing internal members, and it is the right use of these experiences that allows them to continue to this day."

"Every family understands that with the passage of time, renewal is always essential, and the knowledge we were exposed to as children is just some basic information, some materials and foundations that will serve as our own ideological framework for the future."

"When we get into college and really have our own ideas, we use these materials and foundations to build a magnificent building, and everyone is very different, the only thing that is the same is that these ideas are for the prosperity of the family and the eternal prosperity of the empire."

"Therefore, when our thoughts are formed, the family will no longer restrict our learning direction and actions, because they know that the unchanged family is always destined to die, and only when each generation of excellent family heads can do their best to make the family survive for a long time."

"I understand, I understand, and as the heir to a family, I agree." Wei Qingxuan said with a smile: "But my only regret so far is that as the heir of a big family, as a person who is in the limelight, I have never gambled with my life and done anything." ”

"Originally, I thought that when I graduated from college and became a mecha army, and then participated in the battle, this was the beginning of my big gamble. But when I saw you, when I saw you in the forest of the trial mission, even if you were controlled by someone, you were still desperately resisting, I wondered, if I continue to wait, is it too late? ”

"So in the end, my danger this time is inevitable, and it has nothing to do with you." Wei Qingxuan said, his eyes radiated some strange brilliance, letting An Xiaoyu know that what he said was all true, and there was no perfunctory meaning.

"Why bother?" An Xiaoyu smiled bitterly, I really don't know what kind of monster this guy is, and he is actually eager to send himself to death.

Wei Qingxuan also smiled, pointed at An Xiaoyu, and then pointed at himself: "Since some people are looking forward to living in peace and stability, some people are looking forward to being able to take risks, light and darkness are born together, and the superior and the inferior follow each other, which is a normal truth." ”

"How do I feel that you have also started to become Shinto after this time." An Xiaoyu looked at him.

"You should understand what kind of experience it is to experience life and death." Wei Qingxuan stared at An Xiaoyu's eyes.

Ann whispered silently.

That feeling of going through life and death, to be honest, is not pleasant.

The first is to feel the passage of your life, to be able to feel it quite obviously, and then the most important people and the most important things in your life appear in front of you, and before you can carefully reflect on it, they turn around and disappear, making your heart full of endless regrets.

With this regret, you fall into an eternal slumber, not knowing what state you are in, not knowing where you are going, only a large area of darkness to accompany you in your last moments, and then all kinds of voices sound, all kinds of voices disappear again.

Am I going to die?

This is your last and only voice, and it is also your last and most sincere question of yourself in this life.

Am I going to die? What else do I have left to do? Who's waiting for me to come back? Who will grieve for me? What have I left behind over the years? The good and the bad, the wonderful boring, the filthy and the holy......

And when you think about it, when you think that your thinking is going to disappear, you suddenly find it.

None of this has anything to do with you......

The two of them sighed, looked at each other, and suddenly laughed awkwardly.

"The two of us who are still alive are still a little too weird to discuss life and death." Wei Qingxuan smiled and diverted the topic: "But since then, I have seen it very openly, and I also know your current state very well, I also want to live a peaceful life without anyone disturbing me, it is best to find another girlfriend." ”

"How are you and Lu Yuqi doing now?" Speaking of his girlfriend, An Xiaoyu suddenly remembered the woman who was thrown at home by herself.

"Me and Lu Yuqi?" When Wei Qingxuan said it, the expression on his face softened a lot: "Actually, it's okay, I think I'm probably not suitable for falling in love, especially with the kind of person who takes the initiative to chase me." ”

An Xiaoyu smiled: "Actually, you can go back and chase her." ”

"You're such a clever little ghost."

The two of them talked about other things for a while, and no one talked about this distress again, An Xiaoyu felt guilty in her heart, Wei Qingxuan was grateful in her heart, and the two of them really went from seniors to partners, and they were completely called real friends.

And at this time, the upper echelons of the entire imperial capital were shrouded in a dark cloud, which came from the west, from other races, from the primeval presbyterian council, from the silence of the eight royal families, from the beginning of the new millennium and the advent of the Great Depression.

All the disputes began at a meeting of the Elders of the Alien Race, where Huang Wuyi disguised himself and listened to discussions among the Elders of the Ancient Clans about the beginning of the new millennium of the Empire, the beginning of the Great Spiritual World, and the wars caused by the Great Depression.

Among the eight royal families, although the other races have always been in that state of silence, only the Huang and Hong clans have made a clear statement, which is also a state recognized by the other races of the eight royal families, and it cannot be easily changed.

Moreover, the opinions of the eight royal families are unanimous and represent the direction of the core of the primeval ten thousand races, if the opposing opinions of the Huang clan and the Hong clan are out of the scope of the eight great royal clans and begin to spread to the primeval ten thousand clans, it will inevitably cause fierce struggle and side of all races.

Therefore, all along, although the Huang clan is close to human beings, this closeness is only limited to the background, and Huang Wuyi can only secretly talk to all the forces of the human race, and Huang Wuyi will not reveal the factors that affect the internal stability and harmony of the primeval race.

So Huang Wuyi could only secretly gather the races of those relatives, and then form a force, gradually waiting for the opportunity to develop, and more and more races to join.

Of course, both Huang Wuyi and the empire knew that this process of development was bound to be slow, and it would require great changes and conflicts to promote the generation of opportunities, so there was no rush at all.

Therefore, the news brought by Huang Wuyi was not so much sudden as expected. However, in this expected news, the message conveyed by Huang Wuyi still filled the hearts of the upper echelons of the empire with a large area of gloom.

At the Council of Elders, most of the races were divided into three camps.

The first camp was the faction of relatives secretly led by Huang Wuyi, who maintained absolute neutrality in the war and expressed their willingness to wage war, but only guaranteed to wage the most conservative war on the premise of resolving the Great Depression.

The second camp belongs to chaos and neutrality, they also agree with the outbreak of war, but they do not expect much from the war, they think that humanity will definitely be cruel to them, so they decide to look at the situation, and then go to the battlefield, and bear the consequences.

The third camp belongs to absolute chaos, these races are all human feuds, and they are the main force of the war in the war of all races, and they have been pressed by the empire in recent years, and they especially want to find an opportunity to raise their eyebrows.

However, among these three camps, it is obvious that the absolutely neutral faction is the least powerful, and the chaotic neutral faction is the most popular, but these chaotic neutrals, you can see that their brains are not easy to use, and if they are slightly fooled in the elders' meeting, they immediately favor absolute chaos.

The end result, of course, is that a terrible war is about to begin.

According to Huang Wuyi, the germ of the Great Depression among the primeval tribes has begun to appear, and by this winter, there are already some signs of intensification, according to the analysis of professionals within the Huang clan and economists of the empire, the time for the Great Depression to completely break out will probably be tomorrow winter.

And the outbreak of the whole war will also be the second year after the outbreak of the Great Depression, that is, at the turn of spring and summer of the following year, the alien races that have already survived the cold winter, under the impetus of the Great Depression, will collect the largest number of troops and begin to bombard the borders of the empire indiscriminately.

The time is scheduled for the spring of 9101 in the imperial calendar, the second year of the beginning of the new millennium. At that time, whether it is the primeval races or the human empire, they will face such a battle with the highest enthusiasm and the most tragic mood.

But what clouded the upper echelons of the empire was not this battle that was destined to be launched, but the shrinking of the empire's military strength after the reform of the military commission and the opening of the great era of cultivation.

This is an irreversible process, a large number of personnel have been reduced, a large number of teams have been reorganized, and the emerging teams have not had time to participate in the warm-up battles, they can only rely on the next year, using part of the turbulent border to hone the emerging teams in actual combat.

With the outbreak of war, the normal war will last for a year and a half until the autumn harvest of 9102, when the Great Depression within the primeval communities will ease and the pressure on the population will be reduced with the advent of agricultural output, which is the end of the battle.

But with the development of such a long war, the active army of the empire will inevitably be weakened in the battle, and it will be necessary to continuously recruit troops to replenish the strength of the border.

A great educator once said, "When the students of a nation begin to suffer what they should not face at this age, it means that the country has reached a critical moment of survival, and the most cutting, creative, and sacrificial people of the whole country need their blood to build a new national cornerstone." ”

But he still has the other half to finish, that is, when these students do not solve the suffering, it means that the whole country has begun to decline, and there is no longer any possibility of existence.

Such a situation made the court and the military commission begin to be gloomy.

The five still did not raise a single voice for or against the war, nor did they give any instructions. The Ministry of Inspectoration still oversees all aspects of the empire and does not interfere in anything beforehand.

The court and the military commission began to hold meetings overnight, and discussions were held again and again, and the whole discussion was divided into more than a dozen stages and lasted for a week.

The final result was not revealed, and naturally no one else could know, but the situation of the Military Commission began to change.

The intensity of reform has increased, Wang Zhen has completely gone out of the army, and began to divide the troops with Wang Zhenyan to rectify and reorganize the remaining military commission forces, and the new generation of mecha in Jiudaoguan is also about to be released, and it will be put into use in the spring of next year.

In such intensive preparations, An Xiaoyu finally ended her first semester and embarked on the journey back to the Eastern Wilderness.

Together with the students of Dongyun, he would first go to the provincial capital of Dongyun Province, and then start to travel to the Jiuxi tribe in a special car.

An Xiaoyu's heart was excited, because at the next stop, there was someone she had missed for a long time.

Ni Yu!
