Section 439 [An Interesting Old Man]
"Your father often spoke to me about you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Griffith said to Su Junyan.
It's hard to imagine that this is a conversation between two men who are destined to clash with each other and fight to the death.
It's more of a family affair.
"He's not my father. "One of the words that Su Junyan can't listen to is father.
"Sure enough, it's as stubborn as he said. Griffith laughed, as if looking at a disobedient child.
Su Junyan didn't speak, just looked at him.
The atmosphere seemed relaxed and oppressive.
"If you call me and say these things to me, then I don't think there's much more to say between us. After a long time, Su Junyan shook his head and prepared to leave.
"Do you know that your father once came to me?" Griffith didn't mean to stay, but asked Su Junyan.
Su Junyan turned half of his body, stopped, and said, "I know." ā
"He told me at the time, 'My son is very good, but you don't have to follow him.' Griffith continued, "He said, you can go out from the Far North, I allow you to go back to Snow Cold City, do what you want, unify the Northlands, defeat my son, or be defeated by him, it's okay, just do it, if my son loses, it's okay, kill him, the loser is not qualified to live, and I don't need such a son." ā
Su Junyan was silent.
"Do you think it's really what he would say?" Griffith still smiled, as if he had guessed what Su Junyan was thinking, "Don't blame your father, he is such a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person, he actually told me in the end, of course, if you can, you give him a little more time, and he should take care of the children." ā
"So I should thank you for not coming to me for trouble some time ago?" Su Junyan didn't speak until this time.
"You're welcome, oh no, it's not. Griffith is indeed a very personable person, even if Su Junyan has been speaking coldly to him, he still maintains due elegance, calmness, and humor, "Your father, although he is very wise, but many times, it is this wisdom that makes him completely ignore what others are thinking and become a little arbitrary, but there is no way, this is probably the common problem of emperors, right?"
"Actually, to hell with it, does he really know what I'm thinking? Or, what you're thinking?"
This sentence resonated with Su Junyan, making him slowly turn back.
Indeed, does the man really know, what is he thinking?
Does he want everything he has now?
The King of the North, a peerless force, decisive in killing, a human head falls to the ground with a wave of his hand, and only a world where heavy snow falls, is it really what he wants?
Or is it a small town where it often rains, where a family of three can occasionally go fishing by the river, and this life will be better?
I don't know.
Nobody knows.
Because it's already happened.
That's how it turned out.
As a result, he became the king of the north, he had been displaced all these years, he had no relatives, and he had only a handful of warm moments.
He was lonely.
If solitude is necessary to become a king, he would rather not be a king.
"Do you think I'm right?" Griffith is actually more like his father than the man who only has an indifferent back in Su Junyan's mind now.
"You're quite right. Su Junyan had to admit it.
However, this is not an ordinary thing after all, this is the battle of the Northland.
It's useless to be right.
"I know what you're thinking, so I said you're really similar to your father. Griffith completely saw through Su Junyan and said, "Do you think I really want to be the king of the north?"
If you say, judging from this man's experience over the past 100 years, he does seem to have no desires.
However, some forbearance can be calculated in one or two hundred years, especially when the goal is the throne.
"I don't know. Su Junyan replied honestly.
He really didn't know because he didn't understand the man in front of him and didn't know what he was thinking.
"If I really wanted to be the king of the north, more than a hundred years ago, I already was, but I didn't, why?" Griffith threw another question at Su Junyan.
Immediately afterwards, he asked himself and replied: "Because I know that I am not actually a person suitable to be a king, I am not ruthless enough, I am not decisive enough, and I am also afraid of loneliness." ā
And your father is not.
He didn't say it.
Su Junyan knew, he looked at Griffith and said, "Then do you think I am?"
"I don't know, I just think you're lonely. Griffith's answer was intuitive.
At this point, there seems to be no way to go on.
Because Griffith's attitude seemed a little wavering, Su Junyan didn't know what he wanted to say.
Or maybe he wanted to do something.
He didn't notice any ambush around him either, or did the man feel that one person was enough to defeat him?
"If it weren't for you, I might have to take over your father's place. Griffith sighed, and then immediately said with some rejoicing, "Good thing you're here." ā
"That ......" Su Junyan felt unreal when he heard this.
That's it?
"If you want to ask me if I'm willing to be loyal to you, yes, I do. Griffith nodded, "However, there is a prerequisite. ā
"Beat me. ā
"I still love this kingdom very much, after all, I have built and maintained it with my own hands for so many years, and I don't want to see it fall into the hands of an incompetent person, so you still have to be considerate of the heart of an elderly person, and defeat me. ā
"Show me your strength, and make me feel that you are entitled to this land. ā
Sure enough, in the end, it still has to be like this.
"Okay. Su Junyan nodded, he was not surprised, he originally planned to do this, but unexpectedly, he found that the atmosphere between him and Griffith was very harmonious.
"Don't show mercy, be harder, let the old people see how fierce the young people's fists are, okay?" Griffith waved his fist lightly at Su Junyan, "Then today, that's it, in fact, I really just want to see you, so you don't have to look around, there is no ambush." ā
"I have to say, you are still much cuter than your father. ā
"See you on the battlefield, then. ā
As he said that, he leaped backwards down the mountain.
Su Junyan looked at his disappearing figure and said silently, see you on the battlefield.
What an interesting person.
