"Why did you become the shopkeeper of Xiaochen Building? You know better than anyone else, if the person who chose you at that time did not choose you, would you think it would be fair?"

Ao Han's voice became calm and terrifying at this moment.

"What you gain and what you lose may not be equal, but you can't weigh it because you don't know what your choices will be different in the future. ”

Therefore, your complaint is not worthy of pity, because you have received what you did not dare to hope for at the time, and you are complaining now only because you are not satisfied. ”

Ao Han's words were like a hammer hitting Yan Wudao's heart.

He couldn't refute Ao Han at all.

Li Laosan couldn't understand Ao Han's words, only Yan Wudao understood.

Because their fate trajectory is different.

If he hadn't been chosen, maybe he would have died, or maybe he would have lived better than he has today.

But who is in control of their own destiny?

Compared to that time, he was eager to be chosen.

Because he is an orphan living on the streets, he is dying of hunger, when someone gives you a steamed bun and asks you to go with him, can you refuse?

A person gave you life, and what was given to you was a mission that would be carried for a lifetime, which was not too much in the eyes of Yan Wudao at that time.

Ao Han was not wrong, what he got now was indeed something he didn't dare to hope for at that time.

Because for myself at that time, a steamed bun was a luxury.

Yan Wudao left.

In the end, the doubts in his mind were not answered.

Because Yan Wudao at this time, even if Ao Han told him the answer, he would not recognize the truth because of this.

On the contrary, it will be even more confusing.

Perhaps Yan Wudao never knew what a precious opportunity he had lost because of his complaints.

In Ao Han's eyes, Yan Wudao was not wrong, the only fault was that he did not have the courage to break this status quo.

I want to get it, but I'm afraid of losing it...... This is Yan Wudao's most fatal weakness now.

I have to admit that Yan Wudao is a talent, but Ao Han has no more time to cultivate an unstable factor.

There are many ways to make a person loyal, Ao Han controls Yan Wudao's soul, and Yan Wudao will not betray Ao Han in his life.

But that's not what Ao Han wants.

When only Li Laosan and Ao Han were left in the hall, looking at Yan Wudao's distant back, Li Laosan couldn't help but be curious, looked at Ao Han and asked, "Childe, ...... Is that the mysterious big boss behind Xiaochen Lou?"

Ao Han looked at Li Laosan, then got up from his seat and walked to the steps outside the hall.

The cold of the fourth watch made him tighten the fur on his body.

Looking at the cold moonlight through the thin clouds, Ao Han spoke: "Xiaochen Lou has never had a big boss. ”

Li Laosan didn't understand Ao Han's words, even if Yan Wudao was here, he was afraid that he wouldn't understand.

"Each small dust building is an independent existence, where the small dust building is opened, the shopkeeper there is the big boss of the drunken fairy building. ”

"Li Laosan doesn't understand ......"

Ao Han said: "From the moment they become the shopkeeper of Xiaochenlou, they will serve Xiaochenlou for the rest of their lives. ”

"It's a mission that they've carved into their bones since childhood, and they're trained at different times and in different places, because the people who train them are different. ”

"Even before they become the treasurer of Xiaochen Building, they will not know what the point of training is. ”

Li Laosan listened as if he understood but didn't understand, as if he understood, but he couldn't understand.

In the whole world, five dynasties and seventeen countries, as long as there are people, there will be small dust buildings, but if there are small dust buildings, someone must manage them.

How did the shopkeepers of these small dust buildings choose? Who chooses them?

Ao Han may have seen Li Laosan's doubts, and continued: "In the life of every shopkeeper of Xiaochenlou, there will be a special task, which is to cultivate a successor of Xiaochenlou within a specific time. ”

Nine times out of ten, these successors are orphans living on the streets, because they know better than ordinary people what it means to live. ”

"In the future, they will receive a box containing the site for the new Xiaochen building, the title deed, and the start-up capital. ”

"But with so many people and so scattered, it is inevitable that there will be some people with active minds...... What if there is a wrong link in this......" Li Laosan asked the biggest doubt in his heart.

Ao Han said: "People have seven emotions and six desires when they are alive, and they will have fears, even if Xiaochenlou does not have a big boss in the real sense, but they themselves don't know it." ”

Li Laosan's eyes froze, and he continued: "What Gongzi means is that Xiaochenlou does not have a big boss in the real sense, and they themselves don't know, and the more they don't know, the more daunting they are. ”

"Is fear the root of their restraints?"

Ao Han nodded and said, "Even so, there are still a few cases. ”

"The existence of Xiaochenlou is far more than 800 years, and after experiencing continuous destruction and rebirth, there is today's Xiaochenlou. ”

So during this period, it was inevitable that another independent organization was born, a lone lamp. ”

"A lone lamp?"

It's a strange name, Li Laosan has been in the rivers and lakes for so long, but he has never heard of a lone lamp.

"To put it simply, a lone lamp is responsible for cleaning and rebuilding. ”

"Once the Little Dust Building is established, its economy and intelligence gathering are independent, so it can survive longer, and even if one of them goes wrong, it won't affect the rest of the world. ”

"And a lone lamp is the opposite of a small dust building, it is a whole, and because it is a whole, it is easier to control, and at the same time it is more likely to breed danger, because once there is a betrayal in a lone lamp, it will affect the whole system. ”

"Once someone destroys a lone lamp, it is equivalent to destroying the entire small dust building. ”

"A lonely lamp?" Li Laosan said seriously: "Since the connection between the two is so close, no one has ever found out for so long?"

A wisp of wind blew, stirring the hair around Ao Han's ears.

Ao Han said: "Although the connection between a lonely lamp and Xiaochenlou is close, for each of them, they don't know what the real meaning of each other's existence is. ”

"The creed of a lonely lamp is to be entrusted by people and loyal to people, and their task is only to collect, pass, clean, and establish matters related to the small dust building, and also include cleaning up some unnecessary troubles for the small dust building. ”

"The most important thing is that the guests of a lone lamp are only small dust buildings. ”

"They complement each other, but they don't know anything about each other. ”

Li Laosan fell into a short silence, a small dust building, a lonely lamp, and words alone could no longer explain its intricacies.

But Li Laosan can imagine how many lives have been spent and what hardships have been experienced in the past hundreds of years to establish such a huge intelligence system.

At the same time, Li Laosan was even more confused.

Dawei Fort, the Thirteenth Road of the North Desert, the small dust building, and a mysterious lone lamp...... Ao Han controlled so many powers, both openly and secretly, even if he wanted to subvert the emperor and become the supreme existence, he could easily do it.

But at this time, Li Laosan became more and more confused about what Ao Han wanted.

He had never seen Zongji, and he couldn't feel how strong a person's power could be.

Therefore, he couldn't understand Ao Han's ambitions.
