Two chapters in one

-------------------

Gu Xuan only felt that his eyes were blurry now, he could only see a shallow gray outline when he looked at anything, and the darkness around him invaded like a tide, enveloping him entirely, he was like a drowning man who had fallen into a lake, the people and things around him were all on the shore, he was in the water, he could neither see clearly, let alone hear clearly.

His mind was chaotic, and he couldn't lift his spirit to think at all, because what happened in front of him had exceeded the bottom line that he could endure in his heart, and he only felt that his heart was filled with an irrepressible anger, this fire, surging, from the heart, was difficult to extinguish.

He really couldn't figure out why things were the way they were, and he didn't have the energy to come up with a plausible explanation for himself.

He just couldn't accept it, but Han Ruying's tragic situation was all vivid, the scars on her body, the pitiful appearance of her cloak, her godless eyes, and helplessly collapsed in Ashina's arms, the living picture was all stimulating his nerves, which almost robbed him of all his sanity.

He really wanted to rush up and kill the fat man with a knife, behead him, and then rescue her back, just like when she rescued herself who was seriously injured and dying in Yannan Mountain, she did not hesitate at that time, even if it was to disobey the order of her dearest grandfather, even if it would bring huge risks to the way home.

But after hearing Lu Yi's persuasion, he seemed to be clenched by someone, as if in the hottest dog days, he raised his head and poured himself a mouthful of ice water, not a refreshing and cool feeling, but a kind of nausea that made his brain dizzy and dizzy.

What kind of bullshit is this?

How can you give up saving an innocent girl because of this?

What's more, she is also her former savior!

But what frightened him the most, and even made him feel disgusted, was that he was really shaken, shaken in front of such a reason.

No, it should be said that he had changed before that, because before he recognized Han Ruying, he never thought of saving the innocent girl in front of him who was humiliated!

Even after knowing that it was Han Ruying, in the face of those words and the truth, he, Gu Xuan, was still shaken just now.

He was extremely disgusted that he would have such a hesitation just now, in order to suppress the fear and anger in his heart, so he began to roar at Lu Yi even louder: "If you can't keep it, don't do it, do you want me to watch my life-saving benefactor continue to be humiliated by that evil ghost? If you do that, will I, Gu Xuan, still be a human being?"

He stretched his neck, his green tendons exposed, and roared loudly, this sentence was not only said to Lu Yi, but also to himself.

Gu Xuan, how can you agree with such an ugly truth!

You shouldn't hesitate!

Lu Yi looked at the prince who seemed to be a little crazy in front of him, as a strategist, he knew that if he wanted to persuade such a Gu Xuan, it would be useless to use any words such as future development.

He has lived until now, in the past 18 years, few people have reached out to him in the middle, and few people have really taken him as a friend, so he will cherish any kindness from the outside world, and can even use "the grace of dripping water, the spring reciprocates" Eight words to describe it, that's why he will obey his mother who depends on him and Gu Cangyan, who takes good care of him, and puts the two of them in the most important position in his heart.

He discussed that he would never allow such an inexplicable reason to lead to the failure of this alliance!

One step is slow, one step is slow, after this long-planned opportunity slips out of his hand, when will the next opportunity go?

Will there be a next time?

Could it be that the senior brother would be kind enough to wait for him?

No, it won't!

If he misses this opportunity, he can end this battle for the royal road that affects the entire Western Continent in advance, and his life will be over.

It's not that he is selfish, but he doesn't know any Han Ruying, even if he does, in front of the merit of dominating the industry and unifying the human race, he has to bow his head and give in!

Give in for my lord!

Give in for the good!

Lu Yi's voice was clear and cold, like a bright moon in the sky, overlooking the common people, without any emotion.

There is no heart-wrenching advice, but every sentence points to the weakest point of the other party.

In this way, it is more understandable, especially for a person who is in extreme anger.

"Do you want to disappoint Master Cang?"

"Do you want to disappoint Concubine Li?"

"Lost Huangsha County, and then ran back to the capital alone, is this what you want to see?"

"So many people in the city have been displaced because of your thoughts, is this what you want to see?"

"So many soldiers, all gathered for your faith, to defend this city, these young men, many of whom are younger than you, are now going to waste their lives and let them die for you?"

"So many of us have worked hard in Huangsha County for so long because of you, and now you don't want to say a word, don't you want it?"

"Lord Wang, please remember the big goal in your heart and remember it!

"Birth, old age, sickness and death, love and separation, resentment and hatred, can't ask for it, life in the world, there are always some things that no one can do, the prince, you should give up, in order to ensure that the existing things will not be lost!"

"Lord Wang, you can't take care of everyone, but it's not your fault, but you can take care of most people, that's enough, Lord Wang, please think about us people!"

"Is your ambition going to fall today?"

Gu Xuan kept the posture of wanting to rush forward just now, and his whole body was completely tense, like a big bow that was fully drawn.

As Lu Yi's words came out, his expression began to become more and more hideous.

His movements had come to a complete standstill, for his feet, his body, and everywhere seemed to be tied to a thousand heavy burdens, making it impossible for him to move even a single step forward from his heart.

His heart was struggling violently, but he just couldn't move, because he couldn't face the other party's questioning and persuasion one after another, even if he wanted to pretend not to hear, trying to run forward, and make his own choice by his own heart, but there were too many invisible things that had dragged him behind his back.

It's a responsibility, it's a dream, it's self-esteem, it's selfish, it's so complex, it's hard to describe it in words.

There are too many things, and those are the bonds that he can't let go of in this life.

That's what we bring with us from birth, and that's what death can end.

Life is in the world, rolling red dust, where can you do what you want, in the rivers and lakes, even the heart can't help yourself.

It took ten breaths before he raised his head with difficulty, but it was as if a majestic mountain was pressing on his back, making him bend down subconsciously.

The single eye was red and swollen, and his voice was a little choked: "I want to save her, I want to save her, sir, just like she saved me without regrets back then, sir, do you understand? If I don't save her today, Gu Xuan will die。。。。。。 ”

Who is he, he is Gu Xuan, he is the one who would take action for an old woman he didn't know when he was in the capital, and even bluntly refuted the order of Jingzhao Mansion, he was the one who was in the restaurant, and he would seek justice from the He family for the sake of a restaurant guy who had only met twice, he was the one who dared to fight with the horse bandits alone in order to save a few ordinary villagers.

But how did he end up like this?

Why did he forget even the most basic word "repay gratitude"?

Why doesn't he even think about the simplest morality anymore?

How could he hesitate in the face of the choices he could easily make before?

He was ashamed of himself and saddened by the change in his heart.

Perhaps, people will live like the one they hated the most, because the world is impermanent, people's hearts are not ancient, only at that time, a thorny, tired person will understand that the once righteous adherence to the word, in front of the word "reality", how fragile it is, not worth mentioning, the past like a fool himself, can only exist in memories, occasionally remembered, it looks ridiculous, but also so cute.

Lu Yi has been standing in front of Gu Xuan, because he doesn't let the Rakshasa clan outside see the situation here, and he doesn't want to make trouble.

Seeing that Gu Xuan had become hesitant, and even explained to himself in a pleading tone, he added another fire regardless of it, no longer persuading in the cold tone that did not eat the fireworks of the world just now, but began to continue to persuade with a bitter look.

"Lord, please forgive the minister, even if you run to save her now, what can you do? She is already like that, Lord, even if it is a minister begging you this time, at this time, you should also think about us people, the ministers and others, they have all vowed to follow the prince for the rest of their lives, if the alliance is broken today, we people should deal with ourselves like this, how should you deal with yourself, Lord! If you want one person, or tens of millions of people, you want the present, or the future, the minister implores the prince You must be cautious!"

Gu Xuan stared ahead in a daze, his eyes were empty and devoid, like a corpse.

He clenched his fists tightly, because he used too much force, his nails had pierced into his palms, and drops of blood continued to drip down the cracks, he trembled all over, full of resentment and hatred in his chest, but he couldn't find an exit at all, and there was nowhere to vent, because he didn't hate anyone, he only hated himself, he only blamed himself.

Gu Xuan, you're a brute!

Your parents gave birth to your seven-foot body, but you didn't have a little responsibility in your heart, and now the benefactor is still being humiliated by the fat pig, but he doesn't even have the courage to save her.

What exactly are you hesitating about?

What bullshit gains and losses are you still thinking about?

Why have you become the ugly person you are now?

Still not moving?

Why hasn't it moved yet?

Why didn't you save her?

With such a you, do you still have the face to go back to see your second brother and your mother?

But the words that Lu Yi said just now have been haunting his ears and heart, every sentence, every word, like a basin of cold ice cubes, extinguishing the anger in his heart.

Now, if you kill Ashina on impulse, then there will be nothing.

The alliance has become a piece of bullshit, and the khanate has become a joke,

Not only that, but the revenge from the goshawk tribe afterwards, the collective revenge from the three major tribes, Huangsha County will definitely not be able to bear it.

They didn't even need to risk attacking the city, they only had to send a small force to intercept and kill these merchants who came and went to Huangsha County, and then Huangsha County would become a rootless water, and it would only be a matter of time before it fell.

When the time comes, what kind of face will he have to return to the capital?

I left confidently at the beginning, Top Gun, but it turned out that it had been out for so long, but I didn't do anything well.

Imaginary figures began to appear uncontrollably in his mind.

Gu Cang, who was dressed in a seven-clawed dragon robe, looked at him coldly, as if he was looking at a stranger he didn't know, he didn't say a word, he didn't hate iron and steel, he didn't sigh bitterly, he just brushed his sleeves away, and the back gradually drifted away, and he never looked back.

In Yongle Palace, his mother, who had always loved him, looked at him with tears on her face this time, and then lowered her head again, sighed softly, and the sound hammered into his heart, painful!

He's scared, he's really scared, he's scared that he's not going to achieve anything, he's afraid he's not going to get their approval, he's afraid he's going to let them down.

Now success is in sight, he has been planning and operating for so long, he has held on for so long, the sword of the royal gift has been lost, the BMW is dead, and his own eye is missing, so many sacrifices, so many concessions have finally won the success, but do you want him to give up now?

Is it just for Han Ruying?

But so many people, they have all contributed, why should they say to give up?

What's more, so many people in the city will be displaced by one of his decisions.

Can this be?

Can't that be?

In his mind now, it seems that there are two villains at war, and his conscience and beliefs are telling him that he must immediately kill Ashina and save Han Ruying, but on the other hand, there are villains formed by various fetters and desires, constantly retaining him and telling him not to do anything, so that what he will get is the support of the six major tribes, tens of thousands in the future, and even more than 100,000 troops.

Power, status, and dreams are all entangled and turned into the most basic desires, surrounding him.

Should we give up the morality that has always existed in our hearts for the sake of them?

Or should we continue to hold on to the morality in our hearts?

The two sides kept chattering in their ears, and the fantastical images came to his mind one after another, almost breaking his whole body.

Finally, Gu Xuan still made the first concession, he lowered his head, as if he was a child who had done something wrong, his voice trembled, and even a little blurred, because even he himself didn't know if this was what he should say.

"I, I, I can not kill him, let, let him hand over Ruying. ”

This is the biggest concession he can make, Ashina's dog life, he can not take it for the time being, but the benefactor must be saved!

That's his bottom line!

But in the next moment, all the illusions and bottom lines in his mind were ruthlessly broken again.

Lu Yi explained to her in a flat tone: "Have you seen the mark on her body? That's not an ordinary slave, you ask him for it, it's a humiliation and provocation to him, this is a big taboo in the Rakshasa clan, he won't agree." ”

Gu Xuan raised his head suddenly, his face was already distorted by the struggle in his heart, and he roared in a low voice: "Then grab it!"

Lu Yi stood in front of him, his tone and expression were as peaceful, as if he were a wall, without emotion, so he was indestructible.

"Lord, look at it, they have thousands of soldiers and horses, and they are all cavalry, but we only have a thousand soldiers and horses in our hands, and there are only a hundred cavalry, what can we rob? ”

If you have 300 riders in your hand, you can still fight, but now that you have sent out two-thirds of them yourself, how can you fight?

Lu Yi didn't say this, but Gu Xuan thought about it himself, so he was even more distressed, he couldn't blame Fuyin, he could only blame himself.

Blame yourself for not being capable.

Gu Xuan hung his head, and his voice was already undetectable: "I want to try, I don't need the help of the soldiers, I'll do my own business." ”

He can't let others die for their own selfishness, since he wants to do this kind of thing that goes against the common interests of everyone, he can only rely on himself, in this case, others have nothing to say.

I have to say that this kind of temperament, in fact, Lu Yi appreciates it very much, and he will not change the most fundamental principle in his heart because of interests, and even in this case, he is only willing to save it alone, and when it comes to the previous subjugation of Black Narcissus, it can be seen that although the bottom line of his own prince has been falling, his principles have not changed, because he also confessed afterwards, although he was forced to do it, but in the end, he did something wrong, and he still had to give an explanation to the Ma brothers afterwards.

But appreciation does not mean recognition, such a person can go to the school palace to be a humble gentleman and a teacher, but Lu Yi doesn't need it, he needs a real monarch.

He is a man who walks the royal way.

What is the "royal road"?

Some people say that the royal road is actually "benevolence and righteousness", the upper should be the heart of heaven, the lower should be obedient to the will of the people, the country should be governed by benevolence, and benevolence should be the criterion for doing things, which is the way of the emperor most respected by Confucianism.

But in Lu Yi's opinion, you might as well be more extreme, in fact, the royal way is always the person who makes the most correct choice.

What is the right choice?

This proposition can be very broad or narrow, as large as deciding the life or death of a country, or as small as the survival or death of just a few ants.

The way of the king is to love the world and help the common people, but between fraternity and ruthlessness, it seems to be at the two ends of a ruler, but in fact it is only one step away, and loving all things is both affectionate and ruthless.

Everything in heaven and earth is the same thing in his eyes, and the wild dogs on the roadside become the same as people, and he is both amorous and ruthless.

To be a king, you must learn to look at problems from such an angle, know how to make trade-offs, and do not hesitate when you need to do something, and make the most correct choice at the moment under any circumstances.

Sacrificing small profits and pursuing great righteousness, it can even be said that regardless of the name, we have to do some things that most people don't understand, and leave all the merits and demerits to future generations to comment.

A traitorous minister, if he can do something that the Qing officials can't do, and promote the new policy for the benefit of the world, even if he likes to form a party for personal gain, or even create unjust cases to suppress the opponents of the court, but since the benefit is in the people, the merit is in the future, at this time, the king should use him, and a loyal minister, even if he is loyal, but because he is self-contained, blindly following the ancient system, and hindering the implementation of good policies, he must be killed immediately.

Now, at this moment, a real problem is in front of Gu Xuan's eyes.

As long as Gu Xuan doesn't do anything now, today's things will be considered all successful, and then they will have a force that truly belongs to them, and after the war between the countries of the South in the future, this force will even be big enough to change the trend of the entire war, and how many people will be saved because of this, who can say clearly?

In the future, you Gu Xuan will sit on the throne of Daliang because of this, and then realize your revenge and ideals, govern the country with benevolence, and implement a new policy, how many people will benefit from this?

But if you choose to be narrow-minded today and save this woman in order to repay your personal kindness, then everything will be empty.

Whether to save one or a hundred, this is an eternal dilemma.

If you can't get over the hurdle in your heart, whether you want to understand the truth or not is something that no one can say.

What's more, this matter, no matter how you talk about it, is all the same, and the difference is only the position on which they stand. ()
