Chapter 113: Recruitment (13)
"Xing'er, you need to know. Honghu people not only refer to our Yijia villagers, but also include dozens of villages living near the lake.
It is true that our Yijia Village ranks first among Honghu villages, but if we take the lead in violating the Honghu Convention, then we will become the target of public criticism.
When the time comes, not to mention Huangfu Village and Ouyang Village, which are behind us, even the villages at the bottom will have a chance to replace us. Yiyang did not use the dual identity of his father and patriarch to oppress Yi Xing, but spoke bitterly and persuaded with reason.
"Father, the world is changing, and we in Honghu should also change with the change of this world. The practice of resting on one's laurels and closing the village is no longer suitable for this era.
I admit that the strength of our Honghu Village is based on the dispersion of external forces and the scattering of big forces.
Suppose one day, many forces are swallowed up by a few major forces, and the pattern of the world changes. Do you think that Honghu can transcend the world and become an independent existence?
At that time, there may have been other existences who secretly sent Qiu Bo and became the pawns of a certain force. ”
Yiyang didn't speak immediately, but after a moment of thought, he said slowly: "Xing'er, maybe what you said is right, but I don't know how many years later.
The world is unpredictable, who could have predicted the end of the road, the end of the world?
You are a chess player and are familiar with the board, the moves and the pieces. But have you ever thought that our world is a chessboard, each of us is a chess piece, and the world pattern and rules are the chess path?
I thought about what you just said more than twenty years ago, and I left the village because of it. At that time, the world was even more chaotic than it is now, and there were many famous people at that time who galloped in the troubled times.
But in the end? Dust to dust, soil to soil, thirty fame dust and soil, both in the past, have turned into floating clouds. ”
Yiyang's words infected Yi Xing. He did not refute Yi Xing's words, but used his own personal experience to show his truest emotions by example.
"Father, I understand what you said. Before I met my lord, I just wanted to have a good trip and come back. But after meeting the lord, I found that my world has become different and more exciting.
Although the lord is not a chess player or a mage, he is like a teacher, patiently teaching me. He taught me to live, he taught me to fight, he taught me how to improve myself, he reformed himself.
Today's incident was a complete accident. If it weren't for the lord coming to Honghu, I wouldn't have known and met what was going to happen in our Yijia Village.
Maybe this is the destiny in the dark! It was God who gave us a road in Yijia Village and a choice for Honghu. ”
Yiyang took a deep breath and turned his gaze to Yiyanjin. "Biting Jin, what do you think of Cao Cao? Not beat around the bush. ”
"Returning to the patriarch, at first I thought he was the old housekeeper of the eldest prince outside. But in the subsequent relationship, I felt more and more that I couldn't understand him. There is a mist on his body, and if he forcibly clears the fog, he will faintly see a wisp of imperial energy.
Today's rescue plan was planned by him. His objections and misgivings were also mentioned in his plan, and he even said that after you had finished asking the young patriarch and me, you would have to meet him alone. ”
Yi Biting Jin is an honest man, and he really told the truth as Yiyang ordered.
However, he has a terrible knack for reading words and feelings. He didn't notice the look that Yi Xing gave him when he started to say the second half of his speech. Are there some words that he can pour out now?
"Biting Jin, you go and invite Cao Cao here! I want to meet him now. Yiyang didn't think about it, and after Yiyang's voice fell, he gave an order.
"No! Patriarch, please, wait. Yi bit Jin and clenched his fists, and his body slowly retreated.
"Xing'er, don't say anything after he comes. The Father had to talk to him. If we can meet for the first time, he will be able to say that he will be a father, and he may change his previous thoughts. ”
"No, thank you, father." Yi Xing bowed to Yiyang very solemnly.
Yiyang saw Yi Xing like this and smiled in his heart. He found that Yi Xing had really grown up, matured, and had a lot in his chest.
Not long after, Cao Cao was led in by Yi Biting Jin.
Cao Cao had a faint smile on his face, he was not restrained, nor arrogant, and his body exuded an aura that neither made people feel alienated nor close.
"Patriarch Yiyang."
"Prime Minister Cao!"
The two greeted each other politely. It was the first time they had met each other, and they began to look at each other at the same time.
"Thank you Prime Minister Cao Cheng for taking care of my son all the time. I'm glad to see him grow. I just heard him say that the purpose of your coming here is to recruit soldiers, I don't know if it's really true? ”
"It is true that there is no lie in front of real people. The purpose of Lone's coming here is to recruit soldiers. The fact of the crisis in Yijia Village was done casually, not deliberately.
Lone knows that Yijia Village is transcendent from the world and does not intervene in disputes in the outside world. But the trend of the times is not one person, and one side can contend with it.
Of course, Honghu can continue to maintain a neutral identity according to his own wishes, and exist in the troubled times. But one day, when you know that the universe has been unified, will you continue to maintain this attitude?
At that time, will the people of the universe care if you are dead or alive? All he knows is that you didn't help when he needed help. Especially when he is in charge alone, he will not allow forces like you to exist in the world.
You are a person who understands, and you naturally know the meaning of the lonely words.
Lonely people come here to recruit troops, and they will not force any village. Even if Lone leaves in the end, Lone won't blame you. ”
"Prime Minister Cao, you won't blame us. But didn't you say that too? When you rule the world, you will definitely attack us, and you will not allow such a force as us to exist in your kingdom. ”
"Yes, if at the end of this troubled world, it is Lone who has won the world, and Lone will never allow such a force as Honghu to exist.
All power must be centralized and unified, and large-scale armed and private armies are no longer allowed throughout the country.
Of course, that's all for later. The situation is now confusing, and no one can see the final outcome. Even if it is lonely, it can only cheer itself up, but it is not certain that in the end, it must be lone to dominate the world. ”
"Prime Minister Cao, you are humble."
"Nope! Loneliness is not modest, but seeking truth from facts. That's why Lone came here to recruit soldiers. ”
Yiyang smiled slightly, and he had his own understanding of Cao Cao. He felt that Cao Cao was a lovely person, a real person, and a wise man full of conspiracy theories.
