Chapter 87—The King Is Coming (4)
The general trend of the world, all the kings think that they see it very clearly, and they plan the military strategy under the general trend, and they think that things will inevitably develop in the direction they expect, so that the general trend of the world will finally be in their own hands.
The general trend of the world is not a murder case, there is no only truth, but no matter how many roads there are in the world, the wheel of history will only take one of them, and there is only one person in the world who can hold the reins of the carriage and control the direction.
This is what Zhu Wen is saying to his wife Yang.
When Zhang Zhongsheng was eating, he was also dining, unlike the former banquet guests, only his wife ate with Zhu Wen. The son was too young to get on the table, and was hugged by the maid.
The two of them were not lively when eating, and even seemed a little lonely, Zhu Wen also had a fellow villager brother who was regarded as a sibling, but the old lame man who was not old was unwilling to serve the table, saying that he was not qualified, and would rather squat at the door with a rice bowl in his arms, like a farmer.
"The times create heroes, if there is no chaos in the dynasty, there will be no heroes and fight for the Central Plains. The people in the world who can take advantage of the situation are heroes, but in the end, there is only one person who can control the general trend and even create the general trend, and that is the lord of the world. Juwen continued.
People live in this world, because of all kinds of things, in different circumstances will always have thoughts and feelings. People who can share their experiences with themselves must not only be close, but also be at the same level of wisdom and state of mind. Zhu Wen was undoubtedly lucky, because his wife was his bosom friend.
It's just that at this point, Zhu Wen suddenly stopped talking and put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand. The food in the bowl was steaming, but he didn't plan to eat it again, and looked out the door thoughtfully.
Zhang was surprised by her husband's behavior and was about to ask a question, but saw a strange color flash in Zhu Wen's eyes, and said in a tone that was still gentle but not negotiable: "You go to the backyard." ”
Zhang opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but in the end he didn't say anything, hurriedly got up and picked up his son, left with the maids, and looked back at Zhu Wen deeply when he went out.
Zhu Wen sat at the table and didn't get up, just looked at the empty courtyard with a peaceful gaze. The ups and downs of life make him not only able to deal with changes without being surprised, but also has a very different mood and mind from ordinary people.
The old lame man at the door had already stood up straight, no longer holding a large bowl in his hand, but an extra long knife drawn out of nowhere. His eyes were full of danger and vigilance, like a beast ready to pounce at any moment.
However, he couldn't catch the enemy's figure, and he couldn't even detect his breath, so his dangerous eyes looked a little dazed.
Zhu Wen said calmly: "Since you have already come, why are you reluctant to show up?"
When the words fell, Zhu Wen's pupils shrank suddenly, and the back of his hand on his knee jumped, and he almost clenched his fist and blasted out with all his might.
There was one more person on the other side of the round table.
It was this sudden appearance that made his body react instinctively.
But he didn't make a move.
Because he saw the other person's face clearly.
He fell silent.
At this time, he should have many reactions.
If it is a friend, he should smile and greet him, welcome him, and forgive him for trespassing into the back house.
If it is an enemy, he should draw his sword and cut off the opponent's head, as a veteran general in the army, he has this decisive killing heart.
But it shouldn't be a moment of silence after being stunned.
Zhu Wen, who was in silence, was obviously thinking, thinking deeply, as if the ultimate meaning of life was in front of him, and he had to understand it thoroughly immediately.
The old lame man at the door stood there motionless, still maintaining a defensive posture, it was not that he had lost the courage to enter the door to protect the master, but that his whole body could only move with his eyes.
It didn't take long for Zhu Wen to raise his head again and said: "The world is so big, it can rise by the trend, and then create the current situation, there was only one hero in the previous few years, and now there are three or two. I thought that in the next few years, I would join the ranks and possibly be the only one who would eventually be the one who held the bull's ear. ”
He laughed, full of sarcasm and self-deprecation, "If I think like this, there must be Gao Biao, Li Maozhen, and even Wang Jian." It's ridiculous, those of us who call ourselves heroes and think that we are the masters of the world's fortunes, after a bloody fight to the death, only to find that we are just a monkey jumping up and down, being watched and amused. ”
When these words came out, Zhu Wen felt a little uncontrollable heartache.
Whoever you are, it hurts to find out that you're just a monkey.
After the heartache, Zhu Wen relaxed instead, and was finally able to look directly at the person sitting opposite, "I should have expected that a person who has changed the control of the Dao Sect over the mortal world for thousands of years and is truly powerful will not disappear into the world so easily. It's a pity that everyone who thinks that they will achieve great things will always think that in the process of fighting with themselves, the failure of others is inevitable and deserved. ”
After a pause, Zhu Wen raised his arms and clenched his fists on the table: "King An, don't come unharmed." ”
The person sitting opposite Zhu Wen would have no one else except Li Ye.
Li Ye listened carefully to Zhu Wen's heartfelt words, which made his eyes look at the other party a little different, at least the chill when he first came dissipated a lot.
He looked left and right at the furnishings.
The room is very simple, elegant and warm, there are not many precious calligraphy and paintings, utensils, but every object is practical and handy, everywhere exudes a sense of home, and there is a delicate little rattle in the corner, which seems to be a child's toy.
Li Ye said lightly: "General Zhu is a blessed person. ”
Zhu Wen understood what Li Ye meant, and there was a warm smile in his eyes, "Although I don't have much cultivation, I can still run a family and be able to marry her, which is indeed my blessing." ”
Li Ye looked at Zhu Wen, "If you are blessed, you should cherish it." ”
When he said this, Song Jiao and Da Shao Si Ming appeared on the cornices outside the courtyard, and along with them, there were more than a dozen real people. They were distributed in various directions, surrounding the courtyard and sealing off all routes of escape.
Li Ye is on par with Zhu Wen's cultivation, and he has the ability to kill the other party, and with the siege of many True Realm monks, Zhu Wen, who is fighting alone, can't even escape.
So when he said those eight words, no matter how ordinary his tone was, it also implied a murderous intent that could not be dissolved.
Li Ye had every reason to kill Zhu Wen.
It's not because the other party plotted against him in Kunlun, but because the other party's existence itself is a threat to him. A true person of the Yang God with a heavenly opportunity, this time he will be reinvigorated because of Gao Yu's help, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not make trouble in the future, which Li Ye cannot tolerate.
Kill it to get rid of the trouble.
This is Li Ye's best choice.
Zhu Wen said calmly: "The people that King An wants to kill, the gods can't save them." ”
Li Ye asked: "You and I are old friends, so you can say what you want." ”
Zhu Wen glanced at the direction of Zhang's departure with nostalgia, regretful, but soon became calm again, and said to Li Ye: "If King An can let go of my wife and children, Zhu is grateful." ”
When the old lame man at the door heard this, his facial features were distorted, his face was hideous, and his eyes cracked, leaving two lines of blood.
Li Ye stood up and looked at Zhu Wen playfully: "General Zhu doesn't plan to fight?"
Zhu Wen shook his head and sighed: "As long as King An is still in the world, what do I have to fight?"
Li Ye was noncommittal.
With a flip of his wrist, Lu Gujian was in his hand, and in an instant, a sword light burst out, breaking through the roof and straight into the night sky, reflecting the entire Bian Zhou City.
......
No matter what major events happen in the world, which heroes fall, and how many living beings die, the rotation of the sun and the moon will not be affected in the slightest.
The sun rises as usual, a new day arrives as scheduled, and the residents of the city push open the door and walk out of the house in the morning sun, and what they see is still the same as yesterday's Bian Zhou City, and they are still busy with their humble or great livelihood.
They didn't know how many people had died in the city last night, how many courtyards had been stained with blood, and they didn't know that the main officials of the yamen and the main generals in the army had been replaced—just like they had done not long ago.
It wasn't until the afternoon that all kinds of news spread, and they learned that the Xuanwu Army Jiedu envoy was replaced by Liu Dazheng, and now Bianzhou has returned to King An, and Zhu Wen, the former Xuanwu Army Jiedu envoy who had just returned, was said to have been killed by the monks who came to quell the chaos under the command of King An.
Undoubtedly, this is a big event, and many people are happy to see it happen. After all, King An is benevolent, his officials never oppress the people, and his army does not intrude on the village.
Under the willow tree not far from Bianzhou City, Li Ye rode his horse and stood beside the road. When the last group of Tsing Yi Yamen monks came from the city gate, he didn't wait any longer, turned his horse's head and slowly walked up the official road.
Behind him, Zhang Zhongsheng rode his horse to follow, he looked at the familiar and unfamiliar back in front of him, his expression was extremely complicated, sometimes gritting his teeth and sometimes sighing, sometimes looking up at the sky, sometimes bowing his head and being silent, sometimes his face was painful and sometimes he lost his soul, as if his nerves had been deranged.
Song Jiao glanced back at the unkempt Zhang Zhongsheng and said to Li Ye: "Although there are no real realm great cultivators beside Zhu Wen, after all, he has a heavenly opportunity and strong strength, and it is not easy for ordinary monks to solve him, how are you going to tell Li Maozhen about this matter?"
Zhu Wen, who is equipped with heavenly opportunities, is not something that ordinary monks can kill, not even immortals, but Li Ye doesn't care about this problem.
He said: "The Tsing Yi Yamen has the ability to purge all the monks here, although Zhu Wen has an immortal body, it does not mean that he will not be injured, not to mention that he has to protect his family." In the face of dozens of real people, he could only flee with his wife and children. ”
Song Jiao's eyes were playful: "Will Li Maozhen believe it?"
Of course he would, he was busy dealing with Yang Xingmi now, how could he have the energy to think too much. When he has time to find Zhu Wen to verify this matter, it means that the battle of Huaisi has ended. At that point, it was still a question of whether he would be able to save himself. Li Ye chuckled, not without a dark meaning.
