Li Xiumei didn't say in the end why she took the initiative to participate in such a dangerous action.

Xiang Yong is also not interested in getting to the bottom of it.

In the final analysis, he and Li Xiumei are people of two worlds.

Maybe after this mission, there will be no time to see each other again.

Taking Li Xiumei to join the rebels, although there are many inconveniences, there are actually benefits.

At least Li Xiumei can get some covert support from the official, and Xiang Yong and they can get information from both sides at the same time, which is more convenient to complete side quests.

There is still a lot of preparation work before actually leaving.

Maintain weapons and equipment, choose suitable clothing, debug communications equipment......

Then it took an hour for Xiang Yong and Li Xiumei to discuss her character design, and the final version was: Li Xiumei is Xiang Yong's fiancée, and the two are childhood sweethearts.

Xiang Yong was responsible for finding out information from the leaders of the rebel army, while Li Xiumei took the route of his wife and had a good relationship with the wives of the leaders.

As for Fan Xiaoyue and Li Zhiping, they are still Xiang Yong's senior sister and younger brother, this is the official identity and does not need to be changed.

A group of six people took a steam train to Jinpeng City, and then hired a carriage to go out of the city.

When he arrived outside the city, Chen Beixuan drew his sword and threatened the coachman and drove the car towards Ibaraki.

Along the way, looking at the fleeing crowd around her, looking at the wounded soldiers who were carried down from the front line in blood, and looking at the desolate fields, Li Xiumei said angrily: "Look at it, this is what the riots bringed. ”

Xiang Yong looked at her and said, "I didn't hear of riots there, all I heard was the desperate cries of a group of people who couldn't survive. ”

Mencius said, "I have heard of a husband, but I have not heard of killing a king", and Xiang Yong's sentence has the same effect.

Li Xiumei fell silent.

She was not ignorant of the causes of the riot.

In fact, the empire is not to blame for this riot, at least in Xiang Yong's view, the rulers of the empire did not make any obvious mistakes.

On the earth, there have also been tragedies of sheep eating people and machines eating people.

This is the throes of social transition, and it is inevitable that there will always be people who will fall victim.

It's like after the cultivation of the true civilization gradually developed, the people who did not have the talent for cultivation fell to the bottom of society.

Did they do anything wrong? No.

It can only be said that it is providential.

Heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for Shun to die, to all things for the dog.

Even the five immortal dynasties and the nine immortal sects with highly developed Xiuzhen civilization still inevitably have bloody truths under the surface of civilization, power, and wealth.

In the evening, when they arrived outside the city of Deci, when they met the patrol, Xiang Yong immediately identified himself: "We are the disciples of His Holiness Beihe, and we are invited by the 'Hanoi Heroes' to participate in the grand event!"

One of the men in the patrol saw Xiang Yong last time, greeted him kindly, and said to the others: "This is the distinguished guest of Brother Wan, you two people come and escort them into the city." ”

Soon someone volunteered and came over to lead Xiang Yong and the others into the city.

In the city, although there are also houses destroyed by the war and unclothed refugees, in general, people's spirits are high, even fanatical, and there is a dynamic within them to support them, and there is a brilliance in their eyes, as if through their eyelashes, they can see a bright future.

Li Xiumei frowned and whispered, "The people here...... It's very different from other places. ”

Xiang Yong said lightly: "In the imperial capital, what you see are either the so-called nobles who are polite in front of the people and the men who steal and prostitute in the back, or tired workers, numb commoners, or poor people who are as poor as ashes. But here you can see only one kind of person: the insurgent, or rather, the revolutionary. They have nothing left, so they are ready to put their lives behind and gamble for tomorrow. ”

Li Xiumei glanced at Xiang Yong: "You seem to be very sympathetic to the rebels." ”

"No, I don't have such a thing as compassion," Xiang Yong said, "I just think everyone deserves a chance." ”

In the previous life, the Earth Cultivation Civilization was stillborn without any chance.

This time, I gambled everything, but I wasn't much sure, the Five Great Immortal Dynasties, the Nine Great Immortal Gates, that was an unattainable dream.

He hoped to let the Earth Cultivation Civilization rise in the forest of the Heavenly Powers, but those truly powerful civilizations were all vast domains with hundreds of millions or even billions of river systems.

The Immortal Venerable powerhouses easily picked up the stars and the moon, refining each star system into a secondary immortal weapon and a quasi-immortal weapon, and refining the white dwarf stars, neutron stars, and black holes into immortal weapons.

They can easily destroy a civilization and easily wipe a river system out of a star field.

Compared with such a civilization, even if the Earth Cultivation Civilization develops for another 10,000 years, it will only be an infant in its infancy.

The pattern of the Five Great Immortal Dynasties and the Nine Great Immortal Sects has been formed for millions of years, and it is impossible for these rulers to easily allow a new civilization to rise.

All the new civilizations that are discovered have only two fates: either they will obediently submit and become part of the system, and the resources of the entire river system will be requisitioned, and all the monks will be sent to the eternal battlefield to become cannon fodder, or they will be beaten and become part of the system......

Xiang Yong wasn't sure what he could do. Perhaps all he could do was to give the Earth Cultivation Civilization a chance.

Because, a monk who does not have the support of his own civilization is a lost dog. Without the massive resources provided by the entire civilization, how can you promote to the immortal rank?

Even if he was lucky enough to rank in the immortal class, he lost the possibility of going further.

On the eternal battlefield, it is not unseen cannon fodder at the level of Immortal Venerable.

Xiang Yong used to read Xianxia novels, and personal heroism was always admired in the novels, and a protagonist could change his life.

But in reality, the power of the individual is small.

The improvement of the entire civilization is much more important than the honor and disgrace of the individual.

Say.

If Zhou Tianyi was willing to give up his cruel concept, Xiang Yong would not even hesitate to give him a way out. Because Zhou Tianyi also has the possibility of becoming an immortal venerable, it is possible to become an important force in the entire civilization.

But if Zhou Tianyi is unwilling to give up his cruel concept, Xiang Yong will definitely strangle it, because Zhou Tianyi's "Chosen One System" has brought too much harm to civilization.

This is not because Xiang Yong has any personal grudge against Zhou Tianyi, but because of the overall situation.

To tell the truth, even if Zhou Tianyi likes to rob people's daughters and kill innocents indiscriminately, as long as he can fight for the rise of the entire civilization, Xiang Yong can tolerate him.

There was once a civilization of the Immortal Venerable powerhouse, who turned an entire river system into his harem, and took it away, and the entire river system trillions of dollars were at his disposal, and if he was in a bad mood, he would slaughter the creatures of a planet, and the civilization he was in would not interfere with anything because of this. Immortal Venerable can enjoy as much as you like, this is the prerogative of Immortal Venerable.

But the "Chosen One System" has fundamentally destroyed the potential of the earth's cultivation civilization, and this is the most unforgivable place for Zhou Tianyi.
