Wu Heng is really a very smart person, as Lu Yi said before, although they are six brothers and sisters, although they are said to be from the same school, but because of their personalities and other reasons, they will have a specialization, or they are extremely good at it.

Senior sister Yi Yi is the best at looking at qi deduction, even if it is just the first time, a person's past and future, all kinds of things, but in her eyes, the second senior brother loves to arrange troops, and divide the victory and defeat on the battlefield, he Lu Yi is good at seeing the truth in the subtleties, step by step steadily, and slowly accumulating a small advantage that cannot be checked into an unstoppable victory, and in the end, such as a dam flood, the power of the sky is difficult to match, and his fifth senior brother Wu Heng, the best thing is to figure out and play with people's hearts.

People's hearts are like ghosts, unpredictable, Wu Heng is one of the ghost kings, insight into people's hearts, palm view of mountains and rivers, few people in this world can hide their thoughts in front of him, he is extremely good at grasping the weaknesses of the other party's human nature, whether it is bright or dark, with the other party's most easily moved aspects, throw a difficult trade-off to the other party, pointing to the people's hearts, to hit the enemy from the softest place in the heart, so that the enemy loses his normal heart, and then will naturally fail.

And now, he put an extremely real problem in front of Gu Xuan, waiting for his choice.

The means are actually not clever, and they can even be said to be inferior, but they are useful enough to deal with him Gu Xuan, because he is neither Duanmu Shuofeng, nor Chen Jing, nor Gu Cang.

If Duanmu Shuofeng is allowed to face this choice, he will inevitably directly treat it as if he didn't see the tragedy in front of him, and he would rather come to remedy and compensate this benefactor afterwards than give up everything for this reason at this kind of critical moment, resulting in failure.

Because he is a person who walks the emperor's way, what he wants is to hold everything in his hands, and will never allow anyone to disobey his opinions, he has great ideals and great will in his heart, so he will not be bound by these worldly morals at all, as long as he can achieve hegemony, even if he is a benefactor, he can give it up, and then find someone to set up a monument for him afterwards, bury it well, and compensate his descendants.

If Chen Jing is allowed to choose, he will not hesitate to give up saving people in order to benefit more people, because he understands that as long as this matter is completed, the impact that will be brought about later is much more important than simply saving a person.

These people, no matter who they are, they already have their own avenue in their hearts, they have a clear goal in their hearts, they know very well the road they want to take in the future and now, and where they want to go, so no matter what difficult choices they face, they can not hesitate, and no matter what afterwards, they will never regret it.

But Gu Xuan lacked this boldness, so this problem was enough to bother him.

At the moment, he is very confused, on the one hand, he wants to continue to stick to the morality in his heart, his mother taught him loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness and faith, how can he easily abandon it, but on the other hand, he does want to realize his revenge and ideals, whether it is for himself or for others.

Whether to follow one's own selfish desires or choose to uphold morality has always been a dilemma.

It is very normal for a young man like him to hesitate in the face of such a question, or to make a choice that either side thinks is wrong, because he has not clearly defined his inner path.

Lu Yi deeply knows that when it comes to such a critical time, he needs to be a courtier to help him make a truly correct choice.

He lowered his head, sighed helplessly, as if he had given up, and said: "Alas, okay, lord, the minister already knows your determination, since you want to go your own way, then let the minister accompany you." ”

After Lu Yi finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and strode in front of the soldier next to him, and before the other party could say anything, he suddenly pulled out the saber on the other party's waist, and then turned his head to look directly at Gu Xuan.

This scene stunned Gu Xuan, he didn't understand what the other party meant now, how to choose for himself, wasn't it Mr. who persuaded him not to save people just now? But looking at Mr. now, is this going up with him to kill and save people?

"Sir, you, you。。。。。。 ”

His mouth was stumbling, his face was full of confusion, and he couldn't say a complete sentence, and he wanted to persuade Lu Yi not to follow him impulsively, because sir, you are a strategist, a powerless literati, and you can strategize in the back, how can you be like a reckless man, holding a knife and fighting with the Rakshasa clan?

Isn't this a mess and a death cause?

What's more, this was originally his own business, how could he watch Mr. go up to die for him?

Sir has done enough, hasn't he? What more can I criticize him?

Lu Yi was carrying a completely inappropriate broadsword with one arm, but anyone who had practiced kung fu for a few days could see his reluctance and layman, not only was the posture of lifting the knife ridiculous, but he actually put the blade towards his side, but because of this, the more Gu Xuan wanted to stop the other party.

But before he could finish speaking, Lu Yi had already spoken with a sad face.

"Lord, have you forgotten what your minister once told you? Do you know what will happen in the future if the laws of the Western Continent collapse?"

Gu Xuan was dumbfounded by the question, because he really didn't know what would happen, after all, he had never seen that scene with his own eyes, but this didn't prevent him from imagining that terrible scene, not to mention that the princess of the merman clan Fuyin had just come to teach him a good lesson a few days ago.

He knew that the laws of the Western Continent had become weaker and weaker, which proved that the human race had become fragmented, and the national fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which had lasted for thousands of years, was about to be completely shattered, and the sword of the royal road was covered with dust, if it was not unified as soon as possible and blessed the sword of the royal road with the national fortune, then this special law that had been protecting the human race since ancient times would completely disappear, and at that time, it would be a terrifying disaster that affected the entire human race.

"You may not care at all, the minister knows, Da Liang was on the edge of Haizhou thirteen years ago, slaughtering a dragon species, it is said that it has lost hundreds of fierce guards, hehe, but you have never been to the sea, how can you know that the dragon clan is really powerful?"

"If the law completely dissipates, the dragon clan of the Gold Coast can flood the three states of Daliang! Tens of millions of people will die in the flood! Only ten dragon species are needed, and the dragon breath spewed out is overwhelming, enough to wipe out 30,000 fierce guards!"

"The minister also knows that Da Liang has established a cooperative relationship with the Shark Clan, heh, if the law dissipates, I am afraid that the first one who will come to enslave Da Liang is their Shark Clan!"

"Minister, I came to the south to assist the Lord Ming and save the human race, and I served you as the Lord because the minister saw hope, but since you have given up, what is the point of keeping this life of the minister?"

Save the whole human race?

On the surface, it seems to be like this, without this special law, the seemingly strong Terran will be the fat under the mouths of others at that time, and this will be a catastrophe that will affect the entire Terran race, who will be spared?

But this goal is too big and too far away, even if there is already something that Princess Fuyin has shown in front of him, he is still unwilling to give up saving Han Ruying for this reason.

Because this kind of thing doesn't need me Gu Xuan to do it at all, there will naturally be a lot of people who will do it at that time, the nine princes of the atrium, even if they are all for the practical purpose of being in a position of power, even if they are all attacking each other for the practical purpose of being in a position of power, but in any case, the human race will always be unified, and there will be a winner in the end, not to mention the atrium, Da Liang also has a second brother, there is no shortage of him Gu Xuan, but Han Ruying is lacking, his benefactor is now lacking this help, so can he Gu Xuan give up Han Ruying for such an empty goal?

Da Liang is still Da Liang with one Gu Xuan, and Gu Xuan is still a human race with one less Gu Xuan, what emperor wants to dominate the industry, you don't need Gu Xuan to do it, some people do it, you don't have to take this kind of responsibility Gu Xuan, a lot of people are rushing to bear it, but if Han Ruying doesn't have you, she will fall into the clutches of the devil and be tortured, and in the end, whether she has her life saved or not is said twice, thinking about it this way, is the question simple?

"Didn't Mr. say that he believed in the second brother before? This kind of thing, let the second brother do it! The second brother is so powerful, enough!" Gu Xuan hung his hands and stood in place with difficulty, but a look of determination gradually appeared in his eyes, "What about the future of Gu Xuan who gave up on me? I will exchange my future for her life! It's worth it! Sir, you can go to assist the second brother afterwards, and then I can also go to the border army to find someone to help evacuate the city as my prince。。。。。。 ”

"Smack!"

Before the word "surname" could be finished, Lu Yi had already put down the knife and rushed over and slapped Gu Xuan in the face.

For the sake of His Holiness, if a minister commits a crime and slaps the Lord in the face like this, it is a capital offense.

But he has no choice, he really hates iron and steel.

The strength of this slap is not large, and with Lu Yi's ability, a slap on the face of a martial artist like Gu Xuan is not painful at all.

But the words he said next were more hurtful than any sword.

Every word was like a dagger, stabbing into Gu Xuan's heart.

"Do you know that your second brother is dying!"

Lu Yi stepped forward, reached out and grabbed Gu Xuan's collar, and pulled him in front of him, his face was full of anger, this was the first time in his life that he had shown such a gaffe.

When Gu Xuan suddenly heard this, his first reaction was that someone wanted to harm the second brother, but when he thought of the second brother's ability, he had the ability to overwhelm all the other princes, at least in Da Liang, unless his father wanted to kill him, no one would have the ability to harm him.

But why is there such a thing as a short life?

He began to recall the images that were hidden deep in his memory, mostly scattered fragments, with occasional complete fragments.

For him, Gu Xuan, the second brother's status in his heart is second only to his biological mother Concubine Li.

When he was a child, when he was stupid and stupid, only he would protect himself, and at that time, even the palace maids and eunuchs often made fun of themselves, because they knew that they couldn't speak and didn't understand anything, so they wantonly bullied and abused themselves, even if they cried, they could shirk and ignore.

There are even palace maids who have been privately instructed by Concubine Shu to secretly take needles to prick themselves, even if their mother knows, but in order to survive in the palace, they also choose to calm down, and the father can only turn a blind eye and listen to it, even if he grows up and understands, in fact, it is also a kind of protection, but at that time, only Gu Cang, who really stood up to defend himself, was also young, for his stupid younger brother, he ordered a few palace maids with broken mouths to be killed, so that no one dared to bully him.

In order to protect this stupid younger brother, Gu Cang came to play with him every day, took the initiative to chat with him, and talked about a lot of things, he still remembers some of them, because his body is weak, so he can only stumble behind to catch up with himself who runs with the butterfly, at that time, in the entire palace, except for his mother, he is the only one who does not discriminate against himself who is stupid.

Then he got the holy medicine of the shark clan, and he was lucky to open his mind, at the gate of the school palace, it was he who acted for himself, and beat the son of the Xu family without temper, and almost wanted to execute the servant of the Xu family, when he grew up, the brothers rejected him, and when he met, he was not ridiculed and teased, or he was not seen, and only he would take care of himself, in private, not only himself, but the entire Yongle Palace did not know how much favor he received.

It is he who has taught himself the great principles of how to behave in the world since he was a child, and it is he who will talk to himself about those lofty ambitions.

How could such a good person die?

Who the makes the rules?

Gu Xuan raised his head and grabbed Lu Yi's hand, he had completely lost his mind, his hand was extremely strong, and he didn't know the severity at all, but Lu Yi was just caught off guard, so he snorted, but then he didn't open his mouth to beg for mercy, but looked directly at Gu Xuan's blood-red one-eye without fear.

"Second brother, what's wrong with second brother?

The other party just used force unconsciously, but he almost broke his entire wrist, Lu Yi's face became more and more pale because of the pain in his body, but his voice was so steady that people couldn't hear the slightest abnormality.

"Cang Gongzi has been terminally ill since he was a child, can't you see it?"

When Gu Xuan heard this, his pupils dilated suddenly, and then he stayed where he was.

Yes, yes, the second brother is sick, this is actually not a secret in the entire capital, after all, every time he travels, whether it is a hot summer, or a cold winter day with frost and everything, he will wear clothes that are several times thicker than others, and he will hold a valuable stone in his arms to keep warm, as a child of the Gu family, it is difficult to even do the most basic horseback riding and shooting, and later he didn't even go to the annual routine royal autumn hunting, not only that, all kinds of tonics, but he has never seen him cut off.

The thousand-year-old ginseng on the old mountain is the most healthy tiger bone, the blood saffron that is known as the flesh and white bones, the rare deer antler velvet, and the musk。。。。。。

But how could he be terminally ill?

Who would have thought it was a terminal illness?

He kept thinking about the scene of every time he met his second brother.

Since growing up, he seems to spend most of his time in the prince's mansion in the four-year-old house, every time he talks to himself, he always smiles like a spring breeze, and cares about himself, he is such a perfect person, full of love for life, full of hope for the future, but who can see that this is a terminally ill person?

"You're fucking farting! My second brother is just a little sick with a little lack of qi and blood! Shut up! Shut up!"

He roared and roared, but tears were already pouring out of his eyes.

The matter suddenly involved the life and death of his most cherished second brother, and Gu Xuan was completely crazy.

He doesn't believe it, he doesn't believe this bullshit!

He wouldn't allow such a terrible thing to happen!

Lu Yi's face was full of sadness, and he sighed: "Do you think the minister will use this kind of thing to deceive the prince? Why does Gongzi Cang have a blue eye for you, why do you bet with the minister, and let the minister assist you, do you think that Gongzi Cang is taking advantage of you? I look forward to you going back to Beijing to help him after sharpening yourself? Gongzi Cang is using you as a successor to cultivate!"

Suddenly a thunderbolt exploded in his mind, and Gu Xuan's whole person was stunned in place, his face full of sluggishness.

He never thought about these questions.

Because in his mind, the second brother will definitely ascend the throne as the emperor in the future, such an excellent, even perfect second brother, the throne must be his, this, there is no need to doubt at all, when the time comes, as a younger brother, in fact, it is good to be a general who charges for him, and it is not in vain that he learns this martial arts, if his mother is really worried about his own safety, it is okay to be a civil official in the capital or a place。

That's what he thought, and even more so, he never thought of seizing the throne and taking the royal road, so he used a begging attitude to persuade Lu Yi to go to the capital and stop wasting time with him here.

Because of his Gu Xuan, he has never had any great ambitions.

Because Da Liang doesn't need him, it's enough to have Gu Cang.

No matter what, Gu Cang is enough, this is what Gu Xuan has always thought.

So even if Lu Yi later broke through his purpose of coming to the Southland, what would he do to assist the Ming Lord, unify the human race, and wrestle with the princes of the atrium, such a magnificent life, he actually never thought about it.

Can 。。。。。。 now

Gu Xuan suddenly let go of the hand that grabbed the landing proposal, the whole person hung his head, his feet were weak, and he shook a few times weakly, obviously he was a real man who could kill seven in and seven out on the battlefield, but now he seemed to have been drained of all his strength, his knees were weak, and he knelt down directly, because he was too weak, and even almost fell to the ground.

He hung his hands, lowered his head, and muttered to himself, lifeless.

"It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this。。。。。。 ”

He suddenly raised his hand, covered his face with both hands, buried his head in his hands, and whimpered in a low voice.

miserable and miserable, how can the word "bitter" be obtained.

Mo Dao Nan had no tears, but he didn't get to the sad place.

It's not terrible to howl and cry, it's okay if the feelings are vented, the most afraid is that even if you sobble slowly, it's like prolonging a pain hundreds of times, squeezing it out little by little, cutting the flesh with a blunt knife, and the knife hurts in the heart.

This kind of tragic situation, don't say that the soldiers around him didn't dare to look at it, even Jinglong wanted to stop it, but fortunately, out of trust in both sides, he finally endured it.

The man, who had grown up in the wind and rain, knew this well, so he just waved his hand silently, let the soldiers around him surround him, block the situation here, and then held his sword and strode towards the Brahmana who was already waiting anxiously on the opposite side.

Although at this time, where can you let your subordinates see the disgrace of the Lord, but in a hurry, you can't let those foreigners see the jokes.

Lu Yi waited for a moment, seeing that the time was ripe, he instructed in a serious tone: "Lord Wang, please don't let Gongzi Cang down!"

Of course, Gu Xuan understood what the other party meant, how could he not disappoint the second brother, that was naturally to grow into an emperor who was enough to succeed him, so that the second brother could rest assured.

But how can he be regarded as a king who is enough to succeed Gu Cang?

At the very least, in the face of the current dilemma, he must know how to choose, even if it is against his own heart, he must make that difficult decision.

To become a real king, it is not to make people give up their perseverance, be ungrateful, and do whatever it takes for the sake of profit, then they can only become businessmen and politicians.

To truly become a king who is enough to lead the common people, the most important thing is to learn to take the overall situation into account!

With Gu Xuan's intelligence, how could he not know the significance of recruiting the Rakshasa clan.

From ancient times to the present, because no one has paid attention to this remote place, so the southern land has always been chaotic, never unified, and no monarch of the country will put his mind into the sea of sand, first, because although the Rakshasa is also a member of the human race, but in fact, it is a foreign race at all, their customs are very different from the normal human race, they are completely barbarians, and the language is different, it is difficult to communicate, and the second is that they do not have the energy to provoke people at all.

But now it's different, the countries of the south are about to usher in the final war, no one can be spared, no one can get out of this whirlpool, whether it is the end of Da Liang to unify the south with the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers, or the four-party alliance slaughters the elite of Da Liang and divides the land of six states, it depends on the final battle of the national fortunes of both sides.

But as a Liangguo person, how can he destroy this hateful alliance against his side?

The key actually falls on the Rakshasa clan, once they can recover the entire Rakshasa clan, it is equivalent to cutting off this fragile alliance, the Shu country in the west is a lonely one, because the news is not clear, the rat is jealous, and they will not dare to act rashly, Wei and Jin can send troops regardless of it, but because of the strategic depth of the sand sea next to them, they must consider the problem of fire in their rear, if Gu Xuan takes advantage of the sand sea at that time, runs thousands of miles, goes around to the rear, and smashes the Yellow Dragon, the entire Wei will collapse directly, and the Qilian Mountain defense line is useless for him。

Therefore, the significance of today's alliance is not insignificant.

This is the so-called "overall situation", of course you Gu Xuan can choose to repay the favor regardless of it today, keep the bottom line in your heart, and leave all these things for consideration later, you can even say that people have to grow up slowly, and before that, you can still choose to stick to the bottom line, but the question is who will wait for you?

Everyone is in a race against time, who will stop and wait for you to figure it out?

Why did he refuse to accept Ye Zhihuai's request to let him participate in the succession, because he didn't need it at all before, the second brother was so good to him, he simply regarded him as his own brother, then as long as he kept to himself, it would be enough to make a living, but if the second brother died suddenly, and he didn't have the ability to fight, when the throne fell into the hands of the third or fourth child, how should he deal with himself at that time?

These two are not generous people, what should the mother who is far away in Yongle Palace do when the time comes.

Previously, he might have been able to continue to stick to his choice and save Han Ruying, but now?

Will he still be able to make that choice?

Especially after learning the news that Gu Cang was about to die, could he still be there?
