Chapter 91: Morality

Gu Du sighed, he didn't want to dwell on the issue of responsibility, he couldn't say it at all, and when he thought of Jin Lan, he felt uncomfortable.

Gu Du asked, "Mr. Dongfang, you said that Li Xia and I have already first glimpsed the path of the Great Soul Master, but we can't control people's consciousness." ”

Dongfang replied: "The Great Soul Master is not necessarily able to control people's consciousness, each has its own strengths, just like the Beast Spirit Master can pass through the beast spirit, we Soul Master, no matter how strong the spiritual power is, how high the martial arts are, we can't control birds and beasts." ”

Talking along the way, Gu Du found that Dongfang did not shy away from it, no matter what questions he asked, he answered them calmly, and he had to say them in detail.

After traveling about 20 miles, he saw a fortified city, the south wall was about three zhang high, and it was more than several miles long.

Dongfang didn't raise his finger and said with a smile: "This is Lancheng, six miles long from east to west, more than five miles long from north to south, and more than three feet high at the wall." ”

"Arashijo?" Gu Du squinted at him and asked, "Which Lan character?" ”

Dongfang smiled and replied, "It's Mrs. Zun's Lan character." ”

Gu Duwei squinted, Dongfang didn't hear it, and said: "Twenty miles to the east, there is another city of the same name, called Xia City." However, it is under construction and has not yet been completed. ”

Lixia was stunned for a moment, and Gu Du asked, "Then is there still a Ducheng to be built in the west?" ”

Dongfang Buwen replied: "No, it is unlucky to have a single word, and there are not so many soldiers and people in our country, and the two cities echo each other, which is enough." ”

Gu Du asked, "Why are you called Lancheng and Xiacheng?" ”

Dongfang Buwen replied: "It's the name, it's like your name is Gu Du, my name is Dongfang Buwen, the city also has a name, could it be that Master Gu has any other ideas?" ”

Gu Du said: "In my opinion, this city is Jin Lan, and the east city is Lixia, and these two cities cannot be easily lost to me. ”

Li Xia lowered his head and smiled quietly, Dongfang didn't hear it and pretended to be surprised: "That's very good, Master Gu has this intention, it is really a great blessing for my country!" ”

Gu Du sneered and asked, "How many centaurs are there in Zeguo?" ”

Dongfang Buwen replied: "There are 120,000 infantry troops, nearly 20,000 iron cavalry, and 10,000 bows and crossbows." ”

Gu Du looked at him expressionlessly, Dongfang smiled and said, "There are fewer people, but if there were more people, we would have broken through and invaded the southern border, you say, right?" ”

Gu Du said: "There are 50,000 garrisons in Zhenbei Pass, and 30,000 in Rizhao Pass and Sunset Pass. ”

Dongfang Buwen still smiled and said, "Yes, that's why we have to dig the boundary river." ”

Gu Du asked, "What would you do if the Spirit Kingdom raised an army to conquer when you first came?" ”

Dongfang Buyi replied: "Flee back to the ice field and rediscover the opportunity to move south." ”

Gu Du sighed and said, "If I could repel you at that time, my wife and children would not have died." ”

Dongfang didn't hear or speak, in fact, from the moment Gu Duai fell in love with Jin Lan, Jin Lan's ending was already doomed.

When I returned to the camp, it was already the time to hold the lamp, and there was a boy in a soldier's uniform who brought food to Gu Du and Lixia, and left with his head down after putting it down.

Gu Du asked, "How old are you?" ”

The boy stood with his back on his back, did not turn back, and replied in a childish voice, "Twelve." ”

Gu Du asked, "You also fight?" ”

The boy replied, "Do some chores with the army." ”

Gu Du asked, "You hate me?" ”

The boy replied, "When you attacked at night, you killed my father and my brother, my father was a laborer digging the river, and my brother was a foot soldier." ”

Gu Du was silent, the little boy picked up the curtain and wanted to go out, Gu Du asked again, "What's your name?" ”

"Ye Xiaodong."

Ye Xiaodong left, Gu Du sighed, and Li Xia said, "Let's eat." ”

Gu Du sneered and said, "The people who killed other people, now come to eat other people's food." ”

Lixia said: "The conquest of the world is only about winning or losing, and it has nothing to do with right or wrong. ”

Gu Du sighed again, picked up the rice bowl, sandwiched a piece of meat to Li Xia, and said, "How long has it been since I had a good meal?" You're all skinny. ”

Lixia said angrily: "That's because you made a fuss, it's not that you don't eat well, but you don't sleep well, you go crazy with alcohol at night, cry and make trouble, and often scold me." ”

Gu Du nodded and said, "Not in the future." ”

After eating, Lixia sent the food plate away, and then came back, Gu Du was stunned and asked, "Why don't you go back to sleep?" I didn't drink again today. ”

Lixia replied: "You go out and have a look, more than half of the people are in the sky, it would be good to vacate this one tent, do you want two?" ”

Gu Du asked, "Then for more than a month, you have slept on the ground?" ”

Lixia replied, "Yes, there is a tent to protect from the wind and rain. ”

Gu Du stood up and said, "You can sleep on the couch." ”

Rexia replied, "Okay." ”

After speaking, he walked to the couch and sat down, picked up a stack of bedding and handed it to Gu Du, and said, "You can lay it yourself." ”

Gu Du laid out the bed in front of the couch, blew out the lamp and lay down, Li Xia looked at him sideways and said, "Senior brother, I have something to tell you." ”

Gu Du replied: "If you have something to say, why do you still discuss it first?" What is so serious? ”

Li Xia said: "I know you just want to avenge Jin Lan and Beiguan, but I don't think it works like this now, and it is not right." ”

Gu Du asked, "Do you want me to be loyal to Emperor Ze?" ”

Lixia replied: "Yes, if you want to kill the Spirit Emperor, you must use the military strength of Zeguo, otherwise you and I alone will not be able to avenge their mother and son in this life, but if we are not loyal to Emperor Ze, even if Emperor Ze trusts us, what will the soldiers and people of Zeguo think?" Who would want to follow the two of us who have no name, who are stubborn and indomitable? ”

"Besides, there are people in the world who are all over the world, and there are historians in later generations who are like knives, so it is understandable for us to take revenge, but there is morality between heaven and earth, and morality cannot be lost."

"Dongfang Xuan saved us out of morality, because you and I have merit to the country and kindness to the people, and he killed himself in the pass is also out of morality, because the Spirit Emperor did not stand up to him, and he had no reason to commit treason to the enemy."

"The Spirit Emperor has no way to force you and me to rebel, this is a well-known thing, but if we are not loyal to Emperor Ze, why should we lead the soldiers of Zeguo?"

Gu Du sighed and said, "Got it, let's sleep." ”

Lixia stopped talking, and after a while, he fell asleep in front of him, it seems that in the past month or so, he has made Lixia unkind.

Gu Du sat up, gently put her arms back into the quilt, tucked the corners of the quilt again, and then lay down again, staring at the top of the tent with her eyes open.

It's not that he doesn't understand what Li Xia said, and it's not that he hasn't thought about it, but on the one hand, he is unwilling, after all, Jin Lan's death is inseparable from Zeguo.

On the other hand, he was worried about Rexia's father, no matter what Rexia said, it was her flesh and blood relatives after all, if one day, the army of the Spirit Kingdom escorted Rexia's father and mother to the front, what should he do?
