Chapter 222: Condemnation of Conscience
"This ......" Zhao Yulong was speechless for a while when he saw the child who was still asleep, this was the first time he had grown up and looked so helpless, because he didn't know what to do at all.
This scene is like Juli Village taking over himself from Emperor Wen's hands, and he is the same as a person who was forced to a dead end. The same is a child who doesn't know anything, and they are all hopes for the future, and they are all destined for the survival of a country or even a race.
It's just that the difference is that the child who was accepted by Juli Village at the beginning has now gradually embarked on the road to becoming a strong man, and he is already approaching the top strength of the human race.
And this child is still very small, and he seems so helpless. What's more, Zhao Yulong didn't know how to do it, yes, he didn't have the calm state of mind that the village chief Juli had at that time.
There is no such courage that the village chief of Juli can tolerate the child of an enemy family, in fact, this child does not have anything to do with him, but when he saw this child, Zhao Yulong's heart was constantly struggling.
Yes, the child is still very young, but apparently he is the only hope for the country. Only when he grows up and gradually becomes stronger will it be possible to return to the country.
But now he is even having some difficulty surviving, because he is even more helpless than he was at the beginning. is also weaker than the original self, which is called how good he is.
However, General Ming Wolf felt that Zhao Yulong's heart was still hesitating, and it was sure that he had no sincerity, so he carefully put the child on the ground, and then drew his sword and crossed his neck: "Lord Tianshen is kind-hearted, I have nothing to repay, only a death guard!"
After speaking, before Zhao Yulong could react, he and several guards understood his life directly behind this sword light.
Bright red blood accompanied by sword light streaked through the sky a very beautiful blood rainbow, and its beauty was far beyond the level of ordinary rainbows.
But now Zhao Yulong's mind is not looking at this, and now he is constantly struggling in his heart.
Yes, this is a loyal general who did not hesitate to die for the sake of the whole country, just to let himself spare this child.
And what did he do? He was not a member of the imperial kingdom himself, and he did not want to contribute anything to the imperial kingdom, and he even wanted to overthrow the imperial kingdom whenever he had the opportunity.
But now, he has become an accomplice of the imperial kingdom, helping them to harm more countries, not to mention, and forcing so many poor people to death, and he is just for the assessment of the academy.
This really made Zhao Yulong's heart difficult to get relief, and he had a sense of guilt, as if he had done something wrong. And when I thought of making amends, I found that there was no way to make amends, after all, these people are dead, and the country is dead, what can I do?
Looking at the child who was still lying asleep on the cold ground, Zhao Yulong felt that he was so helpless. It was also at this moment that Zhao Yulong could remember Lone Star's teachings back then!
In short, the words that had long been forgotten now returned to Zhao Yulong's mind: "It's best to be careful when doing things outside, don't make any mistakes." Because once you make a mistake, you will find that no matter what you do, you will not be able to make up for it, and you will even make more and more mistakes. ”
Yes, why didn't he think of Lone Star's words in the first place? It was only now that Zhao Yulong understood that he was a child who did not try his best to survive the world, and if he had been able to listen to the words of the village chief or the master, he would not have made these mistakes.
But nothing had happened now, and it was impossible to even seek their help, for they were no longer alive.
Only then will Zhao Yulong find that he is a lost child, unable to find his way home and not knowing what to do, so he can only stand at the intersection and cry bitterly.
However, it is impossible for Zhao Yulong to cry, and now Zhao Yulong has a child in front of him who is very similar to himself, but he is not the head of Juli Village.
After several ideological struggles, Zhao Yulong gritted his teeth and picked up the child, after all, the head of Juli Village back then was able to contain himself regardless of hatred, so why couldn't he tolerate this child?
So after taking the head of Marshal Mingwolf, Zhao Yulong took the child back to the previous battlefield.
Although the imperial army does not have any advantage in terms of numbers, it has made up for it a lot in the realm. Coupled with the surprise, the natural victory fell to the side of the imperial kingdom.
So by the time Zhao Yulong came here, the fight had already been over. The Imperial Kingdom only lost half of its soldiers, and the other side was basically buried here except for those who ran out, and it was obviously a complete victory.
But Zhao Yulong couldn't be happy, after all, what happened just now was like a knot in his heart and couldn't be put down, so naturally he wouldn't be happy to go there.
And now Jingrui and the others naturally found out that something was wrong with Zhao Yulong, so they surrounded them and came to ask: "What's wrong with you? ”
"It's nothing, it's just that I was still trying to persuade you before, but now I'm in the same situation as you, which is really ridiculous. ”
"Don't be too concerned, after all, everyone is a powerful comforter. It's just that we give the comfort in our hearts to others, so we don't have reservations. It's like no matter how strong a person is, he can't grab his clothes and throw himself out, so don't worry too much about it. ”
"Yes, we're all the same. Speaking of this, Zhao Yulong sighed: "It's just that they have lived a wonderful life, but we are still timid and fail to reflect our value." ”
"This ...... I'd better repay you with your words of comfort! It's not that we don't have the opportunity to show our value, but the more valuable people are, the more dormant they will be, because only the night can give that light a greater rendering. "Jing Rui is not very good at comforting people, because he is basically the one who is comforted.
And now Zhao Yulong heard Jing Rui's original words, so he also sighed: "Yes! Our value is still far, far away, I want to become stronger, but I am always so far behind, and the goal of conquering the mainland is really difficult to accomplish!"
"That's why God chose you over anyone else, because you were destined to be the one who could persevere. ”
"yes! I was able to endure until that time. Speaking of this, Zhao Yulong sighed again, but his face looked much better.
At this time, Hu Yun, who had just finished cleaning the battlefield, stepped forward to ask Zhao Yulong: "Are all the people who ran away before Brother Long dead?"
"Yes, they all died, but I didn't kill them, they killed themselves. As for this child, he is the future monarch of this wolf country, the last hope left for this country. Speaking of which, Zhao Yulong lifted the child, just like General Juli lifted himself back then.
"Then we still keep him?" Hu Yun was a little surprised when he heard that he was the prince of the enemy country.
"No, you go and find a remnant of their army, give this child to them, let them raise it, and let him complete the great cause of recovering the country. After speaking, Zhao Yulong handed over the child to Hu Yun.
Although Hu Yun is usually a little improper, Zhao Yulong is at ease with him. After all, he has been with him for so long, his personality Zhao Yulong is naturally clear, and more importantly, Hu Yun is a member of the demon clan, so naturally he will not do anything to be sorry for their demon clan.
If it weren't for Zhao Yulong's order, he wouldn't have done it this time, but in fact, he didn't do much, so now he hurriedly took action after receiving this task.
"Hu Yun has already acted, let's go back quickly! After all, it would be a little bad if General Qitian suspected it, the whole army listened to the order and returned the same way!" After speaking, Zhao Yulong was walking at the front of the team as a person who pretended to be fine, in fact, there was always a knot in his heart that was difficult to unravel.
However, these soldiers naturally didn't know, they only knew that they had won a big victory now, and they would be able to invite credit when they went back, so they couldn't hide their excitement when they went back.
Now back in the camp, it is just in time for the enemy country to break through the expeditionary force and prepare to attack the next country in the alliance. At this time, these disciples had already gone back in groups one after another, after all, the requirement of the academy was only to come to the wolf, so there was nothing else to do with them, so they had to leave like this.
And Zhao Yulong didn't plan to continue to fight with the expeditionary force, because the previous incident had already made his conscience uneasy, how could he bear it if he saw it staged a few more times?
So he naturally didn't want to be this executioner, so after bringing these soldiers back, he returned the tanhua suit and left.
However, because of Zhao Yulong's meritorious service this time, General Qitian did not pursue his private military affairs, but let him leave.
Therefore, Zhao Yulong seemed to be relieved and walked towards the imperial kingdom with Jingrui and a few people, after all, now there are only a dozen strong people left in his team, and it is easy to avoid when he encounters the enemy, so he doesn't have to worry about anything.
And this road is quite smooth, it is estimated that the reason for the news that the wolf country has been broken has spread, and the coalition forces have recalled their own troops to their own countries to avoid the same thing as the wolf again.
And the original army of the wolf has long been dead and wounded, and now the rest is only the wolf hunting legion. And since Hu Yun handed over the child to them, they have also mysteriously disappeared.
So along the way, Zhao Yulong and the others didn't encounter anything, so they returned to the academy safely.
And now the academy is in the process of being promoted to the main hall, and now several elders have already begun to recite the words: "All the disciples present, you are all the elites of our academy, this time you can come back safely, congratulations to you all on your promotion to the main hall, does anyone else have any questions?"
To put it bluntly, the last sentence is just a process, after all, no one has any objections at this time. But this time it was a little different, because someone interrupted him: "I have questions, I don't accept it, why did we start selecting the disciples who were promoted before we arrived." ”
It was Jing Rui who spoke, and according to convention, the promotion to the main hall was a ceremony that would only be held after everyone arrived. But now that they haven't arrived yet, they've already started, and now they're about to end up just after they arrive.
Obviously, the elder didn't know Jing Rui, so he said, "This ceremony is for those disciples who can be promoted to the main hall, you unrelated people don't come to us, shouldn't we waste time." Then again, do you have what it takes to get promoted?"
"Being able to be promoted to the main hall, then what skills do they have to be promoted?" his own strength was unexpectedly questioned, and without waiting for Zhao Yulong to stop him, Jing Rui said directly to the elder.
"They...... They ...... "This elder really couldn't answer for a while, because according to the promotion list, none of these people should be promoted, but because they didn't give him any benefits, he would agree."
But now it was a bit of a hassle to give a reasonable reason, but he thought he was very clever and said: "That's because the people on the list didn't come back from the battlefield, and they are the most powerful people among those who have returned." ”
"Who said that? Won't I just come back? You're afraid that you want to show favoritism and you're afraid that we will expose you, so you took advantage of our absence to give them a promotion!" Seeing this elder's face like this, Zhao Yulong naturally couldn't get used to it.
"What are you doing when you come back? Are you on this list?" Although it has been debunked, it is clear that he still wants to play tricks.
"In Xia Taiziyu, did you go to see it yourself. For this kind of person, Zhao Yulong was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he directly asked him to find it himself, after all, no matter how much he said, it was better to put things in front of him and see that it worked.
And this elder really went to look through it, but found that Zhao Yulong was really on this list, which made him break out in a cold sweat. After all, he was different from other elders, he was an elder who had only recently been admitted to the academy, so his status was not very high.
Naturally, he didn't know the rules of the academy and the people of the academy, but he was born as a sycophant, so he naturally knew that he was a nobleman in this academy.
I wanted to use this promotion to slap these nobles, but now Zhao Yulong's appearance has given him a blow, which makes him very anxious.
But fortunately, he soon found out that Zhao Yulong didn't seem to be a nobleman, so he became bolder: "Even if you are on this list, what then? They came back before you, which means that they completed the task of going out of the mountain better this time, and you completed it poorly!"
Zhao Yulong has seen people who talk nonsense with their eyes open, but he has really never seen anyone who can reach such a state by telling nonsense, it seems that it is really impossible for him not to waste some saliva.
"If you come back, you can already explain that it is done, what if you escape from the battle? Unless there is something that can prove all this, you can't convince us, you must know that it is not only me who is not convinced, but the disciples of our entire academy are not convinced!" Seeing this situation, Jing Rui helped Zhao Yulong speak.
I have to say that this is really useful, and the disciples of the entire academy have been driven. Originally, they were a little dissatisfied when they saw a few disciples of the royal family go to the main hall, but there was no way to do it due to authority, after all, this is their family's world.
But seeing that these family forces are the same as their own family, but there are no powerful people of their own to go to the main hall, but they are staying here, their hearts are naturally not very convinced.
But this elder's cheekiness is not ordinarily powerful, and now he can even return shamelessly in such a situation: "Then what proof do you have to prove that you went to the battlefield instead of you are playing in the mountains and rivers?"
Zhao Yulong guessed that they would say such things, after all, these people could find out these reasons. However, Zhao Yulong had already prepared, that is, he took out a large number of enemy generals' heads from the dragon ring and rolled them in front of this elder.
This really scared this guy who had never been on the battlefield enough, and at this time Zhao Yulong said with sarcasm: "I think this should prove that we are on the battlefield! If not, I can prove my strength on the spot." ”
After all, this elder hasn't been here for long, so naturally he doesn't know Zhao Yulong. Now this is just Zhao Yulong's words to scare him, but he was so scared that he sat on the ground, sweating on his head, but he couldn't speak for a long time.
Now this noisy voice naturally made noise to other elders nearby, and Elder Ding was the closest to here, and now he saw the heads all over the ground: "Who killed this enemy, so many?"
"Report to the elders, it's our team. "Although these are just the enemies that Zhao Yulong killed, but at this time, he insisted on adding the word team, after all, his strength cannot be exposed.
And Elder Ding is a well-informed old man after all, so he naturally saw these heads calmly: "Well! Not bad, your team is indeed powerful." Your kid's command ability is certainly not bad, and the head of the enemy commander should also be here!"
"Yes, he's ......" Zhao Yulong had already taken out Marshal Mingwolf's head, but now he remembered that scene again, and now he fell into the condemnation of conscience again.
However, Elder Ding pulled him back: "It's not bad, it looks like your team can all be promoted to the main hall, but I'm curious about how you killed him, his strength is not weak!"
"I didn't kill it!" Thinking of this marshal now, Zhao Yulong blurted out without even thinking about it.
"Didn't you kill it?" Now Elder Ding's words reminded Zhao Yulong.
So Zhao Yulong hurriedly came back to his senses: "Yes, General Qitian killed it, I just picked up a bargain." ”
"I see, okay boy, it's good that you can be so lucky. Hearing this, Elder Ding was much more relieved.
