Two days later, a rare sunny day.

Under the dead tree in the courtyard of Inuyama Castle, Li Jun lay across a chaise longue, the warm light streaming through the clumped dead branches and covering his still morbidly yellow face.

"How did you do this?"

A clear voice sounded in front of him, Li Jun squinted his eyes, and Yang Baize, who was dressed in a simple green shirt, stood in front of the recliner.

Li Jun followed his gaze to his right arm, and a faint red line spread from the middle of the fist bone on the back of his hand to the shoulder.

It was the mark left by Luo Cheng's flying sword piercing the star.

After the all-out treatment of the medical officers of the 100 households, who mainly painted the skin, coupled with Li Jun's strong recovery ability from his body, the wounds that were hideous and terrifying not long ago are now only a few faint traces.

"You mean that?"

Li Jun raised his hand and said with a smile: "Others are also from big families, if you don't have any confidence, how dare you single-handedly pick on me in Inushan City?" ”

"That's just as well. However, Luo Cheng, a strong dragon, still couldn't fight the ground snake in the end."

Yang Baize nodded, paused for a moment and then said, "Are people really dead? I've heard that people who say the order, especially the middle and high-ranking followers of the Four Mountains and One Palace, have a lot of means in their hands that can replace death. ”

"The Luo Cheng who entered Inuyama Castle is dead."

Li Jun's tone was firm, and he raised his hand and tapped the position of his temple: "Including his body, as well as his brain." ”

"The three caves of the cunning rabbit, he may have other consciousness backups in the Soap Mountain."

Yang Baize seemed to know some inside information, and said in a deep voice at this moment: "But whether he will continue to use the name Luo Cheng, I don't know." ”

"If he dares to continue using this name, it will only be another fight. Step by step, step by step, when he has the courage to stand in front of me again, it won't be too much trouble to kill him again. ”

Li Jun waved his hand lazily, "You came here today just to remind me of this?" ”

"Of course not."

Yang Baize refused the chair that Huapi brought for him, lifted the hem of his clothes, leaned back against the trunk of the tree, and sat on the ground.

"I went to see the place where you and Luo Cheng were doing it at that time, and I felt a lot."

"Oh? Let's hear it. Li Jun became interested.

The young man put his hands on his bent legs, his face full of emotion.

"When I saw the devastated neighborhood, I was shocked at first, then scared, and finally pure numbness."

Li Jun looked up at the branches above his head, and put one hand on his face: "What are you shocked?" ”

"I'm shocked that when the sequence is promoted to a certain level, an individual can have such terrifying destructive power."

Yang Baize said softly: "I once heard the elders in the family say a sentence before, the prohibition is violated by force, the law is chaotic with Confucianism, the Buddha is confused with compassion, the Tao confuses the people with longevity, the soldiers are chaotic, and the yin and yang are reversed from the true and false, and there are all ants under the sequence." ”

Li Jun smiled: "I have also heard what you said, and that person also pointed to my nose and said that the empire has fallen into today's deformity, in the final analysis, the lesion is us people." ”

"I didn't feel anything about this sentence before, and I even thought that no matter how strong a person was, it was just the courage of a horseman, how could he compete with the power machine of the empire?"

Yang Baize had a complicated expression on his face, "It wasn't until later that the Zhu Ming royal family declined and became a puppet, and only during festivals would it be carried out as a mascot for worshipping the heavens and praying." The Imperial army was also gradually falling apart and being carved up. Even the temple has changed from a place of prayer for the people to a testing ground for fulfilling the rituals. ”

"At this time, it dawned on me that the basis of power is the system, and the foundation of the system is people. When the power of the individual is so strong that even the system cannot be restrained, the system will only collapse, and the country will not be the inevitable end. ”

Li Jun was noncommittal to Yang Baize's words, but said in a flat tone: "There will always be stronger people to establish a new order. ”

"If there is a day, can the person who established this order still be called a 'man'? Perhaps the word 'God' would be more accurate. ”

"Even if there is a 'god', that's normal. Don't forget, the Son of Heaven, our emperor of the Ming Dynasty has never regarded himself as an extraordinary. ”

"But the hundreds of millions of ordinary people living in the empire are just the most ordinary people."

Yang Baize said in a serious tone: "It's just that because their genes are not strong enough, they were cut off from the future by a bottomless moat, and they were put on a shackle that they can't break free from forever, this is not their sin, it is the injustice of God, and it is selfishness!" ”

Li Jun's heart suddenly chuckled, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Yang Baize, with your status today, it's not a good thing to have such thoughts."

"That's why I'm afraid, afraid that one day I will become a bird, raise the banner of 'prince and general Xiangning has a kind', and create a rebellion against this group of 'gods'."

Yang Baize leaned his back against the rough tree trunk and said with a wry smile: "I'm still afraid that the life I finally picked up will be easily taken away one day, but I have no power to resist." ”

Li Jun turned over and sat up from the recliner, looking at Yang Baize with his eyes: "Honghu rebelled, not for ordinary people, but to send themselves to the altar!" ”

But the idea put forward by Honghu is indeed the only sustenance for ordinary people, and it is also the only hope they can see. Therefore, over the years, no matter how the three sects and nine streams have targeted Honghu, they have not been able to completely eradicate them, but have developed more and more. In fact, these all prove from a certain aspect, maybe Honghu is the real people's desire. ”

Click.

The chaise longue under Li Jun's buttocks suddenly cracked, but Yang Baize, who was leaning under the tree, didn't notice the movement beside him at all, his eyes were empty, and he was still immersed in his own world, talking to himself.

"But these hooves are just clowns with evil intentions, and I don't want to be in their company. But I was in Confucianism, and I felt suffocated. ”

Yang Baize's tone gradually became low, "So, in the end, I only have a piece of numbness. ”

Li Jun's lips opened back and forth, but he couldn't spit out another word for a while.

It's not that he is powerless to refute Yang Baize's 'slippery slope', but that a strange feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

The young man in front of him was not so much lamenting the impact of the sequence on the imperial system, but rather exposing his weaknesses and handles to Li Jun.

It is impossible for Yang Baize not to know that there are listening devices everywhere in the Jinyi Guardhouse, as long as Li Jun spreads what he said, this young talent, who is now hot in the entire Japanese area, will immediately be ostracized by the Confucian order headed by the New Donglin Party, and even liquidated.

But Yang Baize still did this, there is no doubt that he is giving people a handle to express his loyalty to Li Jun.

A teenager who is only thirteen or fourteen years old would do such a thing, Yang Baize's maturity far exceeds that of his peers.

But Li Jun didn't like this feeling, the bones were in his throat, and a depressed breath was held in his heart, unable to spit it out or swallow.
