Chapter 126: Deeply rooted in the hearts of the people
How long do you want him to be dead, brother?
But the past has passed, and Bai Feng has endured enough pain. "If the Fire Lord asks me to hurt Lu Shi, I think I'll do something," Wu Jing said solemnly. "As much as I feel pain and sadness, I don't blame your mother. Your death, or the escape of the fire god Ah Bai Fenglun, or her escape, are all her choices. As brave and cunning as she is, I don't think she'll survive escaping the heart of the Fire Nation because of you by your side. Jing will hunt you down. You two. Wu Jing held back his anger if he couldn't hide his sadness. "I don't hate her, nephew. I don't hate you either. ”
Bai Feng glanced behind them to see if there was any pursuit. So far, there hasn't been a single one, and the villagers are content to just mess around outside the city. "White Blade..."
"What's the matter?"
"It doesn't matter. ”
"These poisonous words are like knives in the dark, nephew," Wu Jing said solemnly. "Forcing them into the light, they lose their advantage. ”
Bai Feng swallowed and made Asahi stop. Dismounted, quickly checked her feet, and began to walk, leading the black hen. "She's in... The proverb is quoted above, a lot. And look at me."
All medicines are poisons. Be. He could see that Agni was helping him. "You believe she knows what Elsa is capable of. ”
"She Bai Feng" Bai Feng's hand was on the reins. "She's right.... Do things, let them bleed, I can't..."" he shook his head violently. "At least - she's sick of it. "After a while"
Oh, Bai Feng his nephew is not a fool. Try to heal and label himself as a traitor, because he knows Ursa will be tagged?, but fails, as a young torchbearer who does not spare to correct this delicate technique. will have failed...
It is not surprising that he did not dare to try. When I asked him if Asa needed him, he struggled with fear - Jing, you're a fool. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Who is going to stop her?" Bai Feng said bitterly. "She's ... - she has a pattern. She starts doing something, and then - she will do it more and more until you break down. Then she will do more. But if you can pretend that you don't care, like you don't care... Likewise, she gets bored at times. He swallowed. "I'm not good at being silent. Act like I don't care. I should have done better. ”
You deceived most of the crew for three years, Jing thought with a wry smile.
"Do you remember that storm? I believe your people prefer adults who risk their lives to execute rulers who are impulsive and hesitant. ”
This made him look back uneasily, his nephew's jaw closed and silent.
Wu Jing hid a smile. Of course, the adults are commanded. But if your people are out of their own volition, and out of their own responsibilities - this is a tie that is not easily broken. At least not among their people
I do not doubt that this is played by the god of fire, Sozin, who led us to destroy part of the air nomads. We, the Land of Fire, are loyal until death, and when the Airborne Forces change their minds and change, as in history, those of us who may consider them friends will feel betrayed.
The betrayal of the unrighteous drove his people to act in desperation. If history wasn't enough for him to understand, in his nephew's three-year quest, this had taken root in the hearts of the people.
"Do you think she's suffering?" Bai Feng's face was already set, and he didn't want to look back. "I listen - there are people who are in... I insisted on it several times before. ”
I did. How Bai Feng used it to plunder his nephew's heart, maybe he better not know. "If she dies like that, there's a limit to what my brother can hide. ”
Bai Feng did look at him at that time, cold and painful. "She betrayed the Fire Lord"
"If she does, she'll do it like your mother," Iru said bluntly. "She is loyal to her children, her husband and her family. So this will be the case since the first torchbearers acquired their skills under the wings of the dragon, until the state ceased to exist. Killing her beloved father - yes, betraying will mountain her soul. But the god of fire, Abai Fenglun, Abai Fenglun (...) There is a good chance of surviving. ”
"And where is she?"
"If I knew, my nephew, I would help you find her. "Because she is your mother, she has her own claims about you. Although I wouldn't do it without help. For me, and for her. I don't think I'd be gentle enough to ask about that night. And why she left you.
"Maybe you're wrong," Bai Feng said calmly. "Maybe she's loyal," he said, staring down the road, seeing nothing. "Have you ever seen someone die like this?"
Jing admits: "In war, any one of Rao loyalists may be pressured in the past. "I have seen the deaths of traitors, they are unpleasant. "If my assistant didn't take care of me and kept silent well
"Then how can she post those lies? Are you a traitor?" Bai Feng said fiercely. "You're the brother of the Vulcan" you will-" He gasped and interrupted himself. "But" Shaw killed Ping. She was his daughter. How could he... I've seen these people, sometimes they behave like decent people, like Serra, but others..."
"Other countries are not as constrained as we are," Jing admitted. "When those bonds are broken, they don't risk their lives. ”
"So, if Bai Feng offered a bounty to the traitors, they would believe it. Bai Feng whispered in a low voice, barely audible.
Wu Jing coughed deliberately and held back a grief-stricken laugh.
Three years on the ship may have been good for his nephew's spirit, but they did great damage to the vocabulary of Darao.
Maybe he'll listen now. If I'm subtle, "it's not impossible." We've been away for a while. It's likely that Vulcan thinks I'm sick of any kind. "Or yours" may have been hidden by our crew. ”
"They didn't!"
No, worse luck" Although this was rare, some torchbearers survived. ”
"General Zheng Zhen," his nephew nodded coldly.
"I know other people. "Heart" Sometimes, when you are trapped by two kinds of bondage, one must be broken. Proceeding from need, discovering from fear that one's loyalty is given to someone who is not worthy, and you must take it back. "Listen to my nephew. Listen, listen.
"I know where my loyalty lies. “
"Me too, Lord Bai Feng. "Unfortunately
