Chapter 40 (7)
Li Yijie continued: "Treating friends below has always been the most righteous. To say that he does not hesitate to stick a knife in both ribs sounds clichΓ©. But this alone is not enough, how to become a competent alliance leader, I have thought a lot in the past three days. You might as well take this opportunity to tell everyone about it, and please criticize and correct what is inappropriate. In my opinion, an alliance leader who assigns everything to his subordinates and enjoys his own blessings is not a good alliance leader; and an alliance leader who takes the lead in everything and takes care of his subordinates properly is not a good alliance leader; an alliance leader who sacrifices his life at will is not a good alliance leader; and an alliance leader who can give up his life for his subordinates at any time cannot be regarded as a real alliance leader. The reason why there is a difference between the alliance leader and the public on the rivers and lakes is to allow everyone to perform their duties and do their part. The alliance leader and his subordinates should be the relationship between master and servant. The leader of the alliance is the servant of all his subordinates, he is in order to let everyone live a good life, and to fight, to struggle, and the contribution should be greater than the take. We should always adhere to the code of conduct of 'being strict with ourselves and being lenient with others', rather than relying on our own status to call others at will. But as I said before, the person in any position is indispensable and has his own responsibility. What he has to do is to formulate a strategy and command the overall situation, while what his subordinates have to do is to strictly abide by orders and act according to the plan. This is not to teach everyone not to know how to be flexible, but to ignore the overall development, to insist on being strong and strong, and to carry forward personal heroism, and this matter must be resolutely put an end to. Even if they have made war exploits, they must still be punished. Going back to what I said earlier, the manager plays a crucial role in a campaign. If he attaches too much importance to righteousness and dies to save a pathfinder, won't it be more than worth the loss? I don't mean that there is a difference between high and low lives, but the task of the commander is not just to cover his companions. If he fails to do his duty and makes the team a mess, I am afraid that more of his companions will die. This is not to advocate death, but on the battlefield, if you want to win the whole picture, you have to sacrifice something. To make the simplest analogy, it is like a gecko shedding its tail, animals still know that it is reasonable, not to mention people? Every soldier is the closest friend, and we cherish our own lives, and we also cherish the lives of others. Therefore, I would like to state only one thing, that you must obey the commands and do not act recklessly for the sake of righteousness. β
It was like an explosion at the bottom, and there were many discussions, all saying that what Li Yijie said was too radical. Half agreed, while the other half said that it was too cruel to watch their companions die in front of them, and that it violated the rules of chivalry.
After a while, when the discussion gradually stopped, Li Yijie spoke again: "I know that this statement conflicts with everyone's inherent concepts, and it is difficult to accept it for a while, and it is reasonable. But please believe me, I have said this in no way to protect my identity and evade responsibility. As the saying goes, if there is no country, how can there be a home? If there is no group, how can there be an individual? It is said that the sky is falling, and there are tall people on top of it. There is also a way to make a big move, and if you want to achieve something, of course, you have to pay the corresponding price. Many innocent people are often buried when catastrophes strike, but the responsibility for quelling them often falls on the leaders. It is not an exaggeration to reciprocate this by everyone, so if I were to face the sacrifice, I would never shy away from it. You may think that this is contradictory, but it is not. I mean to avoid meaningless sacrifices, but if it is like Nuwa who makes up for the heavens and sacrifices one person's life is enough to save thousands of people, why not? The Buddha said, "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?" Shennong's family for the benefit of the world, sacrificing himself to taste all the herbs; Dayu in order to cure the flood, three times through the door without entering. I don't dare to compare myself with the ancient sages, but I hope to emulate the noble legacy and do my best for the world and the world. The world nurtures me, I pay for the world, and I am reasonable. Therefore, when this matter comes, I hope that all the retribution will be given to me alone, so that all living beings can enjoy peace and tranquility, and I wish to be sufficient. β
After listening to his generous remarks, everyone praised the alliance leader for being a benevolent and righteous person, and even more humane: "The alliance leader is young and has such an enlightenment, which is really a blessing for the world and a blessing for the people." In this comparison, wouldn't we all live in vain at our age?" "I think my old man has lived enough in his life, and he can die for righteousness, so that he will not come to this life in vain." "If everyone was suspicious before, now they are all sincerely convinced.
Li Yijie saw that the time was ripe and said, "If you are willing to believe me, please give me a chance." Give me three months to get out and about. I promise that when I return to the helm, all difficulties will be solved. The seniors have treated me like a mountain, and even if I am broken in the next place, I will definitely help you survive this catastrophe!"
A few people whispered: "At a critical moment, you say such words...... "After all, the current situation is chaotic, and the grass and trees are all soldiers, and this voice of doubt has spread among the crowd, and the impact is not small. But someone else said: "The alliance leader is so dedicated to us, and he will not give up, you few bones dare not fight against the Seven Demon Heads, rely on the alliance leader, but you still have such suspicion of others, are you not ashamed?"
Everyone thinks that although Li Yijie is not a talented person, listening to his past reputation, he is also a young man with righteousness and heavy responsibility. Instead of cooperating on the surface, but distrusting each other behind the scenes, it is better to entrust his life to Li Yijie.
Anyway, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, once the power of the Demon Sect expands, he will always not be able to survive. So the voice of approval finally overpowered the voice of opposition, and changed it to an earnest exhortation, saying: "Alliance leader, you must be very careful. "What do you need along the way?" We'll take care of it for you. "Alliance leader, can I walk with you?"
Li Yijie said: "Thank you for your kindness, but this is the path I need to take as the leader of the alliance." Everyone's task is to stay at the helm, practice martial arts diligently, and at the same time investigate the information of the Demon Sect, and make adequate preparations for the head-on conflict in three months. During this time, although they will not send people to provoke, we must not take it lightly. There is not much time left, and our strength, frankly speaking, is still a lot behind others...... I don't like to meet people, but I will keep my promises. Being able to recognize all my friends is the blessing of my Li Yijie's life, thank you!" he said with a deep squeeze to the ground, bypassed the screen, and went back to the room to collect it.
There was an endless discussion in the crowd, full of praise for how the alliance leader was so high-spirited, "In order to repay the alliance leader's kindness, everyone should also go all out". Only one person had a deep melancholy look in his eyes, and before everyone had dispersed, he bypassed the path and quickly followed the room. There was a noisy atmosphere in the hall, but no one was inquired about. Or maybe only a pair of eyes in the dark, stayed on her back for a moment, and then moved to the side. The owner of the sight realized, and the originally clear eyes quickly dimmed.
As soon as Nangong Xue entered the room, she saw a wide coat spread out on the table, and money bags, hidden weapons and other things were resting in it. Li Yijie is looking around, constantly adding some necessary things to the "baggage" of walking the rivers and lakes. did so attentively that even Nangong Xue stood outside the door for a long time, and she didn't notice it at all.
Nangong Xue looked at her senior brother who was busy alone, a sour feeling rose in her nose, and the dark cloud that enveloped her heart reappeared, this time, denser and thicker than before. She called softly, "Senior brother, what are you doing?" This question seemed to have exhausted her whole body. I had to hold on to the door frame, and my nails almost sank into the wood, so I could barely stand firmly.
Li Yijie's body was not easy to detect, he already knew that Nangong Xue had a heart with him, even if he could hide it from others, but he didn't deceive her so easily. I beat a drum in my heart, and secretly thought: "No matter what, this matter must not be known to Xue'er, and she must not be allowed to see the slightest flaw." β
He knew that Nangong Xue was a person who admitted death, and if he couldn't find out in person, he would definitely investigate on his own in secret. The closer you get to the truth, the closer you are to the danger. Even if you deceive her and perfunctory her, you can't bring her disaster. Fixed, he deliberately said in a nonchalant tone: "Won't you know how to watch? β
Nangong Xue said: "I know. But...... You've never consulted with me before. Why did you have to decide so hastily? Where are you going?" Li Yijie didn't look back, and said, "I have made it very clear to everyone just now, I want to leave for three months. Nangong Xue was in a hurry, and went straight into the room, saying, "Then why do you want to hide it from me, why can't you take me with you?"
Li Yijie's heart seemed to be pinched violently, there was a kind of pain dripping blood, he gritted his teeth to hold back the tears in his eyes, and said: "I am taking a dangerous road, and I don't know what the future holds." If you are distracted to protect you, your chances of survival will be even smaller. Nangong Xue sounded even more weird, and said: "We grew up together since we were children, how many ups and downs, didn't we all go hand in hand and break through together?
Li Yijie said impatiently: "I don't know where I'm going, it's all up to me." Now that the rivers and lakes are so chaotic, it is difficult for all sects and factions to gain a foothold on their own, and they are all attached to the Wulin League...... Master entrusted you to me before he died, how could I let you get into danger?" Nangong Xue shouted: "Knowing that there are many bad lucks, can I let you be in danger with peace of mind? You and I are husband and wife, if you have three long and two short, what should I do?"
Li Yijie was ruthless and said: "You and I have never visited the church once in their entirety, in other words, even if they don't even have the name of husband and wife, let alone the reality of husband and wife." I should be glad that I have always been strict in the beginning, so that I did not sow the burden of evil. If you regret it, you can cancel the marriage contract at any time, and you can find a new person worthy of entrusting your life, and get married. Anyway, it's much better to be with anyone than to live this kind of life with someone like me, who is in danger of getting together and leaving more. You are still young and beautiful, and you are an innocent girl, I think, you can still be said to be an excellent family affair, so that you can rely on ...... for life"
Nangong Xue looked at Li Yijie in a daze, as if she didn't know him anymore, and said after a while: "Senior brother, what are you talking about? Could it be that in your eyes, I am still the kind of woman with water-based poplars? I chose to be with you, how many years and years have I waited for me, will I fall short when victory is in sight? My love, once is a lifetime." Now that I have identified you, I will no longer be tempted by anyone, let alone marry someone I don't love at all for a stable life. You...... You're misreading me. β
