The autumn rains moistened the earth.

The blood outside Huaishan County also stained the earth red.

Countless corpses fell to the ground.

Countless lives were lost in this autumn rain.

Li Chenan has been squatting in front of the corpses of the eldest grandson Jinghong and Shang Di, squatting for a long time, and he has never felt the numbness in his legs.

His hair was wet, and he was soaking wet.

It was cold in late autumn, and he still didn't seem to feel it.

At the moment, his mind was in turmoil.

The eldest grandson, Jinghong, saved his life and trusted him, even handing over to him all the soldiers of the 300 Xuanjia Battalion that he had secretly trained, allowing him to gain a foothold in Kyoto, and even be able to take a few bold steps forward.

Under the crooked neck tree of the Imperial City Division, the two had chatted many times.

The eldest grandson Jinghong knows the injustice of this world, and he also knows the suffering of the common people, he wants to do something, but he finds that he can't do anything!

He pinned all his hopes on the eldest son of the emperor.

Because the eldest son of the emperor is a concubine, because of Queen Lu's entrustment, and because in the eyes of the eldest grandson Jinghong, the three princes in the palace are embarrassed!

A kind-hearted prince, he can't be tough to change the bad government in the court.

And a radical second prince, he is better at playing tricks with scheming, which in the eyes of the eldest grandson Jinghong, is not the way to govern the country and save the country.

As for the three princes...... It's okay to play with the sword, but you can't pick up this heavy Jiangshan Sheji.

Li Chenan once said to him, no one knows what the emperor's eldest son looks like, and his ability is even more unknown.

The eldest grandson smiled and replied to him: "How bad can it be?" It won't grow into this crooked-necked tree! ”

"Besides...... The old man handed over the Imperial City Division to you, didn't he also hope that you could assist him? ”

After all, the eldest son of the emperor was not found, but the eldest grandson Jinghong died here.

He can't close his eyes!

Perhaps, at the moment of his death, he was still thinking about the crooked neck tree.

Throughout his life, what he maintained was not the imperial power, but the woman who planted the tree!

Although he had never seen that Queen Lu, from the words of the eldest grandson Jinghong in the past, from Yan Jidao's words at this moment, Li Chenan could clearly feel the wisdom of that woman.

She hopes that Ningguo will be better.

It's just that she can only plant those four trees and pin her hopes on those four people, but she can't even save her own life.

As for Shang Di.

I met Shang Di for the first time on Peach Blossom Island.

At that time, Li Chen'an felt that this was a kind old man with taste, profound knowledge, and approachability.

After several contacts after that, the two have become friends and have become friends for the past few years.

It's just that Li Chenan never expected that as the Venerable of the Imperial City Division, Shang Di turned out to be a follower of Xi Wei, and he perfectly played the role of undercover.

He didn't expect that the words that he was just talking casually at the beginning would deeply move this old man, and this old man's thoughts actually resonated because of this, and he believed more firmly that there would be light in this world!

There will be fairness!

There's a shit fair!

Which of them is right and who is wrong?

No one is right and no one is wrong.

So, all died in vain!

One died defending it,

A goddamn ideal!

That Xi Wei actually wants to support me to be the emperor...... The corners of Li Chen'an's mouth curled suddenly, thinking that if Lao Tzu sat on the dragon chair, he would probably be even more greedy than everyone in the world!

Because there is no check or balance on that authority.

Hold that thing and you'll lose your way.

Even if you can control it, what about future generations?

After two or three generations, it's still a special one!

Unless the monarchy is abolished.

But under such a semi-feudal and uncivilized society, under the thousand-year-old ceremonial dogma, the abolition of the imperial system is not an ordinary step.

Ironclad eggs!

Just like another traverser, Wang Mang.

This society depends on the co-governance of the scholar class!

Then there will inevitably be many interests involved!

There is no way to achieve true fairness!

So idealism kills people.

Shang Di is one, and there are many more to come.

Do they deserve to die?

Is their death as light as a feather? Or is it as heavy as Mount Tai?

No one can comment at the moment.

Perhaps, thousands of years from now, when civilization evolves, when the wisdom of the people opens, when the true light of freedom comes, there will be people who will see them as pioneers in the pursuit of that light.

Call them thinkers!

Li Chenan stretched out a hand and wiped the eyes of the eldest grandson Jinghong and then Shang Di.

Shut it up!

There is no light in this world.

He stood up, carried the eldest grandson Jinghong on his back, and held Shang Di in his arms, with the urn of his master Wu Xichen's ashes still in his armpits.

"I don't know Xi Wei, and Xi Wei shouldn't know me either."

He looked at Yan Ji and said, "Thank you for bringing back half of my master's ashes, as well as the master's appointment before he died." ”

"Thank you for bringing out the bodies of both of them."

"They are all mentors and friends to me."

As for what Brother Shang said, it was all their wishful thinking. I am me, my name is Li Chen'an, the owner of the tavern in the alley of Erjinggou in Guangling City. ”

"The rise and fall of this country and society has been a success or failure...... Although it is my responsibility, I have more important things to do. ”

Yan Jidao felt that he really couldn't understand this young man.

He asked, "What is more important than what is now?" ”

"My fiancée, Zhongli Ruoshui's cold illness."

"It's winter, and the weather is getting colder and colder, so I have to go back and build her another conservatory."

"After the New Year, the spring has begun, and the weather is warm, I will take her to Wu Guoxi Sword Tower for a trip."

Yan Jidao frowned: "So in your opinion, the life of your fiancée is far more important than the lives of the people in the world?" ”

Li Chenan nodded without thinking:

"My fiancée is by my side, and she is the one who has been with me for the rest of my life!"

"As for the people of the world...... Their lives or deaths have nothing to do with me. ”

"You're a cold-blooded man!"

"You can think so, you can also think that if I can't even save my fiancée, how can I save the world!"

"Where are you going now?"

"Go home!"

……

……

Li Chenan walked into this chaotic battlefield with more than 300 people.

Wang Zhenghaoxuan and Amu walked in the front.

They were carrying two knives.

Xiao Baozi rode a donkey and followed behind Li Chen'an, her hand falling on her waist.

She looked at Li Chen'an's back, and her slender eyes flashed with a bright light.

Ning Chuchu and Jian Wu followed behind the donkey's buttocks, and Ning Chuchu's face was full of worry.

Worried about the country, worried about the brother, worried about the situation in Kyoto, and worried about the confusion of the road ahead.

Under the leadership of Zhou Zheng, three hundred Xuanjia warriors held knives and scattered to Li Chen'an's two wings 🤲-

The death of the eldest grandson made them very sad, angry and sad, and they could only follow in the footsteps of this young deputy lifter and move forward!

Even if there is an abyss ahead!

In Yan Jidao's sight, this silent team walked into the battlefield and into the bloody rain.

The two sides who were fighting stopped very tacitly at this moment.

They made a way.

Just watched Li Chenan and his entourage pass by, gradually moving away.

And then fight.

There is no such thing as justice.

There is only faith and watch in each other's hearts.
