1879 I Was Wrong
Ye Wudao refused to tell the truth, but Ye Yi soon knew what he wanted to say.
As soon as she walked out of Ye Wudao's courtyard, she received jealous glances from all directions.
Almost everyone looked at her with hatred, as if these people had nothing left to do but laugh at her or laugh at her.
This feeling......
Why is it inexplicably exciting?
Ye Yi looked around with interest.
Everything here makes you feel comfortable, so comfortable that it is even more exciting than expected.
Everyone was looking at her, looking at her with the eyes of life and death, as if her presence was a dangerous and ridiculous thing for them.
"You want my life, don't you?"
Ye Yi slowly looked up, looking at these stares that should not have appeared.
Everyone was silent.
As if they knew that Ye Yi would not welcome them, they looked at Ye Yi in silence with a deep resentment.
Ye Yi sighed and said, "I think it's better for you to stay calm, I really don't want to kill people." But if you insist on dying at my hands, I'll have to think about killing people! β
"You think we're going to be jealous of you? You take yourself too seriously! β
A certain Ye family member said suddenly.
Ye Yi shook his head and said, "Of course you don't need to take me too seriously, but your eyes and eyes don't say so. I see in your eyes a deep fear and disgust, you are afraid of me, you want to kill me, and you fear that my presence will make all your efforts meaningless. β
"βwhat do you mean!"
The Ye family, who had spoken ruthlessly before, suddenly changed their complexion.
Ye Yi smiled softly and said, "What do you think I'm talking about?" β
"You're sayingβ"
"I'm saying you're a piece of shit!"
Ye Yiqiang interrupted the Ye family's provocation, and at the same time said with a smile: "Don't look at me like this now, in fact, I know very well what you want from my side, and I also know what you will get from my side, we just take what we need, aren't we?" β
"Since you know what your identity is, why don't you do something for yourself to accumulate virtue!"
The attitude of the Ye family is still very strong.
They obviously still saw the situation clearly, thinking that they had lived in the Ye family for so many years, and they were a more noble existence than Ye Yi.
This stubbornness that doesn't know whether to live or die makes Ye Yi very unhappy.
She asked the group rhetorically, "Do you know why I'm here?" β
"You need the protection of the Ye family."
"But correspondingly, the Ye family also needs my help."
Ye Yi said bluntly and forcefully: "The Ye family needs me, so the Ye family takes the initiative to rely on me, in the same way, you also need me, what you need is my strength and my ability!" You are down, and the rise of any strong newcomer can ruin your past and future! β
"-You think we're really going to be scared of you!"
The attitude of the Ye family is still very hanging.
"Why be afraid? Haven't you been scared all the time? β
Ye Yi stretched out his hand, and a flame ignited in his palm: "When I competed with alchemists and refiners before, I used my natal true fire. I know it's hard for you to understand this concept, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it, after all, many things are more important than external forces. My presence is no less important than your centuries of bewilderment. β
"How dare you say we're trapped beasts!"
The Ye family was furious.
Ye Yi disdainful: "Aren't you trapped beasts?" You have been hiding in this ravine for hundreds of years, living your own little life! But you have no idea what the outside world has become! You think you maintain basic communication with the outside world, and look at everything around you with a superior attitude every day, but can you really understand the scientific and technological progress behind these things? β
Ye Yi felt that the mental state of these people was very similar to that of the last years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
At that time, the Western world was already moving towards a militarized revolution, but the Manchu world was still living under the vanity of thousands of years of glory.
They can't open their eyes to the world and even disdain what is out there!
They think that those Western things are all kitsch and lewd skills, and they are not worth mentioning, and it is better to work hard immediately!
So there was a bloody lesson from the Bali Bridge!
Tens of thousands of cavalrymen were killed like moths to the flames, and even the French army officer Girard had to lament the bravery and fearlessness and stupidity of these soldiers in "France and China".
ββ¦β¦ Without fear or complaint, they were willing to generously shed their blood for everyone's safety. This spirit of sacrifice is regarded by all peoples as great, honorable and outstanding...... Such heroism is often seen in the Chinese military; In Europe, however, it is a big mistake to think that the Chinese military lacks courage because of misinformation. β
"In the Battle of Bali Bridge, the Chinese army met the coalition forces with rare bravery. Their army, consisting of 25,000 Tatars and numerous militias, was defeated at the outset, despite their shouts of advance, bravery and repeated charges! However, they withstood the overwhelming fire that caused him heavy casualties, and in the end, they preferred not to retreat, bravely persevered, and all of them died on the spot. β
In the Translator's Notes, Count de Lizon, wrote: "The enemy has been beaten back twice, but he has not yet given in the towel and is preparing to fight for the passage with one heart...... The Emperor's Tatar Janissaries, the elite of the Imperial Army were gathering at the gates of the capital. In the middle of the bridge, braving a hail of bullets, one of their officers stood in front on horseback; He waved the yellow flag in challenge, and although the rumbling cannon overshadowed everything, he still shouted loudly. Around this valiant officer, marble blocks of the bridge railings were scattered in all directions, and our shells caused a lot of casualties. Death did not rest for a moment, but it did not intimidate these inflexible but brave fighters, who did not retreat. β
"If you really understand the outside world, you should know how the Huaxia of the Red Dust Realm went through a hundred years ago, and it was also from that time that our country stopped adhering to the ancient principles and took the initiative to seek progress."
Ye Yi said: "I have always had a question about the story of those 100 years. β
"What a doubt."
The Ye family knew the century-old story of Huaxia, so they also wanted to know what Ye Yi's problem was.
"They are all born from the same roots, why didn't you come out to help us when our world was devastated like that?" Ye Yi asked angrily.
That history was the reason why she could never forgive Ziwei Zhenren, and it was also the root of her dislike of the Ye family.
