Chapter 741: The Past
Lin Yue felt sorry for Xiao Feng here, only to hear his tone turn, becoming low and a little peaceful, "I was wrong, expanding the territory is what the emperor and soldiers want, but it is not what the people want, after becoming an ordinary people's life in the past few years, I know that what the people have been longing for has always been peace and stability, not continuous wars." ”
Lin Yue nodded secretly, for the emperor to expand the territory is a great achievement, and for the soldiers, it is a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but for ordinary people, these are all disasters.
Even their sons may have to be conscripted into the army and die, so the people actually don't want to fight.
But the status is different, the environment is different, the people created are also different, it is difficult for them to empathize, understand the feelings of the people, and the people are also people who cannot be the masters, in the eyes of the superiors, they are just ants, and their lives are not valuable, so that every ambitious emperor will not enjoy peace.
Lin Yue understood and agreed with these truths, but she was also reluctant to see Xiao Feng's depressed appearance, so she spoke: "People's ambitions and desires can't be stopped, some people are eager for peace, some people are eager to plunder, if you don't fight, there will be other people who fight, the law of survival is like this, if you don't occupy it, don't turn Chengqi into a powerful country that no one dares to offend, how can these people live their own stable lives?" ”
"It is precisely because you have created a stable life for them that you are their hero, although many people have been sacrificed in the process, but for the soldiers, it is an honor to die on the battlefield for the country."
Lin Yue's words were both sharp and reasonable, and the most important thing was her recognition and affirmation, which made Xiao Feng's heart feel a little comforted, and the guilt in his heart was reduced.
At first, Xiao Feng comforted Lin Yue first, asking her not to take all the blame on herself, but now it is the other way around.
For Lin Yue, in fact, her relationship with Ling Tian was not deep, and her guilt was not so bitter, but Xiao Feng was different, he was a participant, an experiencer, and he had comradeship with those who died, and his guilt was far more than Lin Yue.
Lin Yue saw that he was in a heavy mood, she took the initiative to take his hand and passed the temperature of her palm to him little by little, as if to remind him that no matter what, she was standing by his side and accompanying him.
Her intimacy and warmth made Xiao Feng's heart, which had always been cold and hard, melt a lot, and the cold ice wrapped in his heart dissolved one after another, and a heart that would be sad, sad, and guilty was exposed, and it was also displayed in front of Lin Yue, which made Lin Yue very distressed.
Xiao Feng grabbed Lin Yue's hand tightly, thinking back to three years ago, that day, he had obviously seen that Jun Huaiyu was not happy, but he still refused his marriage without giving him any face, in fact......
In fact, he didn't have to be so tough, there should be other ways to solve it, so that he wouldn't have to involve so many people to die with him.
If he was on the battlefield, he wouldn't feel guilty, but Jun Huaiyu wanted to kill him, he was the one who caused them, and he was sorry for them.
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, and even if there is, it is useless, because Jun Huaiyu can't tolerate him, and this day will come sooner or later.
Since he has always been unable to avoid this result, there is no need to feel guilty and regret it, and he gradually figured it out.
After the mood gradually calmed down, Xiao Feng spoke: "That day, after I resisted the decree and refused to marry, I was punished and led 20,000 soldiers to the border to guard the town, but I encountered an ambush on the way, Hu Xia was about a few thousand, and this battle would not have been lost. ”
"But I didn't know that Jun Huaiyu had wanted to deal with me for a long time, the eyeliner he arranged by my side poisoned me and my cronies, I have deep internal strength, and after I noticed that something was wrong, I used internal force to force out the toxin, but it also consumed a lot of internal strength."
"Jun Huaiyu not only prepared this hand, he also arranged a lot of his people in the team, his people and Hu Xiali should cooperate with each other, plus several of our main generals are difficult to protect themselves, this ambush is almost a one-sided massacre."
Lin Yue listened to him say it lightly, but she heard a lot of dangers from it, otherwise she wouldn't have fallen into this situation.
Xiao Feng continued to say to himself, "I was poisoned, most of my martial arts were wasted, my brothers rushed out with me, and they died and scattered, so they barely saved me, and at that time, I was powerless to avenge them, so I could only secretly recuperate my injuries." ”
"After I recovered from my injuries, I heard the news that I was ambushed and died, and of course, the news that I collaborated with the enemy and treason, and my forces were also dispersed by Jun Huaiyu, and I couldn't avenge them at all."
"My life was exchanged for them, and I didn't want to die easily, let them die in vain, and then I wandered around, wandered, and finally settled in Qingshui Town."
"At first, I was still thinking about revenge, but then this peaceful and peaceful life calmed my heart, and I didn't think about those things anymore, so I lived as Xiao Feng."
Such a tumultuous fate was said by him lightly, as if he really let go of everything and let go of revenge.
In fact, he has really changed a lot over the years, and he is a little tired of the killing life in the past, so he has never contacted those old people, but really regarded himself as a dead person.
is no longer the majestic general Xiao Aofeng, but an ordinary blacksmith Xiao Feng.
This time he returned to his old business only because it was difficult to inherit Qi, and Lin Yue reminded him that he was Xiao Aofeng, as well as the support of Yang Zhi and Song Yuan and others, that he stood up again.
Lin Yue quietly listened to him finish this, she felt a lot of emotion in her heart, and she said softly: "In the future, I will always accompany you, no matter which path you choose." ”
It doesn't matter if you continue to be a general, or if you retire, as long as you're with him, you can do anything.
Xiao Feng didn't say anything, just grabbed Lin Yue's hand and showed his intentions.
Lin Yue paused and said: "Ah Feng, this Jun Huaiyu has killed so many of your brothers, his crimes should be reported to the world, and you and those dead soldiers should be given justice, so that the people of the world can also see his selfish face." ”
Xiao Feng understood what she meant, and he replied: "Almost all the people in that battle are dead, and the rest have all taken refuge in Jun Huaiyu, and they handled it very cleanly, and it is difficult to find evidence. ”
Lin Yue grasped the key point and took refuge in Jun Huaiyu, she thought to herself, Yang Zhi's status is so high, and Jun Huaiyu supported him all the way, plus Song Yuan said that he was a traitor when he saw Yang Zhi, then he should also be in that battle.
She asked, "Was Yang Zhi in there that time?" ”
