Chapter 12 Life is like chess

She took out a wooden plaque from the placket of her clothes, and the things left by the enemy when she first went out of Qianyuan Pass and met the enemy were also this, and the two looked exactly the same, which meant that the people who did these things were of the same school. I remember Lingniang said, it seems to be something...... Senropai?

Li Yi held it tightly in his hand, his sword eyebrows frowning slightly. Master Ming kept crying and begging for forgiveness, the woman hid her face and wept, the old woman and the young man trembled, only the little girl was the quietest, so quiet that it seemed that all this had nothing to do with her now.

Li Mo sighed, stood up and said, "Everything today is supposed to be the right to act as if it never happened. He said this, and prepared to leave this smoky court.

I let go of the little girl and ran over to grab him: "How can you act as if nothing has happened!" The human and material evidence are all there, how can it just be left alone! ”

He said: "I'm just a general, not a Dali Siqing, not an emperor, that's all I can do." He untied my hand and walked away without looking back.

The little girl didn't know when she touched the road to my side, pulled the corner of my clothes, I wiped away my tears, touched her head, and first said to Master Ming: "As the master of a city yamen, hundreds of people live in darkness, but you sit idly by. We all have fathers and mothers, do you know how many happy families you will ruin like this! Don't you have children, and if your children had their eyes gouged out today, would you still be the same as you are now? ”

Ming Da shouted "yes, yes, yes".

Then I said to the crowd, "I don't have any identity in this place, but I will do whatever I can!" ”

"Good!" Suddenly, a person's voice came from outside, and Li Mo, who was watching outside, applauded me.

Master Ming suddenly spoke: "Grandma, Xiaguan...... Xia Guan will definitely give everyone an explanation......"

When I left the yamen, I felt like a big stone had been pressed in my heart, my throat was bitter and painful, I couldn't even say a word, and my head was full of bloody scenes of people being murdered. How can there be such a terrifying genre, without the slightest humanity, ordinary people are like ants that can be pinched to death with two fingers in front of them.

As I walked, I said to Li Mo: "Can you go and persuade Li Mo and let him save these innocent people, it should be for the people of Lanzhou City." I looked at him with earnest eyes.

He said embarrassedly: "I want to too, but my second brother will not change if he decides one thing, even if the emperor Lao Tzu comes, he can't persuade him to be this Mount Tai!" What can I do? ”

"If you don't go, I'll go!" I ran all the way home.

"You're waiting for meβ€”" Li Mo shouted from behind.

Rushing into the house, I ran all the way to Li Tiao's residence, but two soldiers blocked me at the door and prevented me from entering. I knew it was useless to tell them anything, so I simply knelt a meter outside the door and waited for him to come out.

Seeing this, Chen Feng said helplessly: "Girl, why do you bother. ”

When I saw him coming, tears couldn't stop overflowing, and I pulled him and begged: "General Chen, you can help them, if even you are not willing to help them, then they really have no way out......

Chen Feng half-knelt and said to me: "Yes, they are pitiful, but there are still so many people in the entire Huan Dynasty, and they are also in dire straits like them, even if we help them, it is impossible to save everyone." If so, if the general strikes this timeβ€”anyway," he sighed, "it's not that simple. To give you an analogy, life is like a game of chess many times, as long as one chess piece makes a mistake, it is likely to lose the whole game. So, girl, you'll be in the capital soon, so you'd better think about yourself first. ”

I've seen Chen Feng only say things like "yes" and "last general", and today is the first time that he has been so patient to say so many things to such a humble person as me.

He stood up. But I still replied to him: "What I know is that not only you, but many people will face extremely heavy decisions, but no matter who they are, they cannot determine the value of human life, and human life cannot be sacrificed," I looked up at him firmly, raised my voice and said loudly, "If someone treats life as a game of chess, then he is doomed to failure." ”

Chen Feng was slightly stunned, bowed to me and left.

I just kept kneeling, and my knees hurt so much that I couldn't stand it, and I felt so tired when I thought that I would have to leave for Shangdu early tomorrow morning. What else can I do, I can't hurt as much as so many people.

In the evening, Li Mo quietly brought me two hot white-flour steamed buns.

"That's the only thing in the dining room, you'll just eat a little," I shook my head, "That's not good, you have to hurry tomorrow morning, you better eat a little, so that you have the strength to fight against my second brother." ”

I thought he had a point, so I grabbed the steamed bun in his hand and ate it in a big gulp.

"Slow down, slow down. Let me tell you, in fact, my second brother is a knife mouth tofu heart, he must be more anxious than you, but he has his own ideas - I'll go first! ”

The door creaked open, and Li Mo disappeared as soon as he slipped through the smoke.

Li Yuan's long figure was like a pillar of jade against the moonlight, his face was very solemn, his cheeks were slightly red, he should have drunk wine, and his eyes were a little fluttering.

I straightened up and looked at him with earnest, sincere eyes. Li Yi walked up to me, grabbed my arm with one hand and pulled me up from the ground. Hey, it's so numb, next time don't kneel like this for a few hours.

He said in a daze, "You're right...... But I still ...... There's nothing you can do. Then all of a sudden, it leaned on my shoulder, and the weight of such a large body on top of me made me accidentally take two steps back.

"Hey, wake up!" I nudged him, but there was no response.

"It's not going to be a fraud again, why am I so unlucky." I carried him into the bedroom and put him on the bed, intending to move the pillow to a different position, but there was a knife hidden underneath. I was amazed that someone would hide such a thing as a knife while sleeping, could it be that he was afraid that someone would assassinate him? I heard Abu say that since ancient times, there have been courtiers in the Central Plains who have been killed by traitors because of their outstanding military exploits, and even if they are generals, they are really not good at being a general.

I covered it with a pillow as if I didn't see it. As I was leaving, he suddenly grabbed my hand and muttered, "Mother......"

He clenched my hand so tightly that he couldn't shake it off. He misses his mother, and I miss my mother, I don't know if she is doing well in heaven.

I sat on the edge of the bed, Li Yuan's hands not only had many cocoons of different thicknesses, but also some small scars that had scabbed, such a pair of bony hands, stained with the blood of countless people, and how much glory he held.

I twisted the candle for him as I left, closed the door and left.

At night, I sat on the bed, lifted my trouser legs and looked at my knees, which were red with many small red dots. I rubbed and thought, it's been almost three months since I left Rongrong, but I still don't have the slightest news about Li Rongqi, I don't want to stay in the Central Plains all the time, I don't want to live in a place full of crises everywhere and have to send people under the fence.

I lay on my knees on the bed, and a dark wind blew in out of nowhere. I got out of bed and went to close the blinds, and a figure suddenly burst in through the window, covered my mouth and said, "Shhhhh

In the flickering candle flame, the man's long thick eyelashes softened his handsome face, his nose was straight and his lips were thin, and his ebony eyes looked at me. He let go of his hand, and I exclaimed, "Abuβ€”"

He told me not to speak, and looked around suspiciously.

"Why are you here? How did you get in? No one will find you. ”

"I also want to ask why you are here, you just left a letter and entered the Central Plains?"

I turned my back to him, crossed my arms and said, "If you are here to persuade me to go back, then you should leave quickly, I will never leave here until I find the enemy." ”

"You're alone? Do you know that this is Dahuan, the land of tigers and leopards, where jackals gather, and it is difficult for the weak to survive, not to mention that you are still a woman who is powerless, how can you fight these green-faced fangs? ”

I turned to look at him, "You...... Why are you talking so scary? At least I'm still in Li Jiajun's army for now, others don't dare to do anything to Li Jiajun, so naturally they won't do anything to me, I'm safe. ”

He snorted lightly and sighed, "Have you thought about it since then?" Moreover, I advise you not to get too close to Li Yuan, let alone fall in love with him...... "I pouted, what do I love or not, people themselves have said that they are not interested in me, I can't pester others."

"Oh, don't talk about this, tell me how the eldest brother and second brother are doing?"

He shook his head: "Your eldest brother took over the Yujiang Department and established himself as King Hu." After the first battle, the Hu army suffered serious losses, and although King Rong received us, I am afraid that there are other plans. ”

"What are you talking about, how can my uncle be such a person."

"I'm just guessing - you're really not coming with me?"

I gave him a blank look and said, "There is no endless road, by the way, you help me hand over a letter to the eldest brother and second brother." I ran to the bed, took a letter from under my pillow and handed it to Abu.

"I still have a question," I looked at him angrily, "did you see me?" ”

He smiled and said, "Which time did you say?" ”

"Whatever time, it's this morning!"

"Yes, I bought you a flower hairpin," he took out a jade-white hairpin from the placket of his coat and gave it to me, "I have to learn to dress myself when I grow up." Okay, time is running out and I'm leaving. "For his sake, I won't care about him for the sake of buying me hairpins.

Abu was about to jump out of the window when I stopped him and he looked back at me.

"You look pretty good."

The corners of his eyes lifted slightly, then vanished.
