Chapter 40 (2)
The girl said, "Yes, I know." That's why I want to venture out...... Anyway, there is nowhere to go now, and the life of the legend that there is no fixed place to live and the four seas as my home is not bad! I will work very hard, very hard to practice martial arts, and with my true strength, I will not only rely on the advantages of the blade. When I'm strong enough, mature enough to be worthy of him, I'll still go to him. No matter what the world thinks, no matter what he thinks of me, as long as I can be by his side and always stand on the same front with him, even if I destroy together, I will not betray him. I think...... I'm satisfied. β
The young man's eyes were indifferent, and although he had said that he didn't care, there was still a hint of emotion in his eyes. Unwilling to show the girl through, she turned her head a little embarrassed, and said: "Now that the rivers and lakes are in chaos, you are now involved in the martial arts, it is inappropriate, it is better to wait until the world is peaceful." β
The girl's eyes widened, a pair of smart eyes kept rolling, and said with a smile: "You don't understand, it is said that the times create heroes, and it is precisely in the troubled times that talents can be tempered! Besides, if adversity sees the true feelings, if it is unremarkable, how can it reflect the preciousness of relying on each other and supporting each other? He wants to be the enemy of the world, and I am only willing to do my best to support him silently and never give up." Okay, you can scold me for not knowing right and wrong, and you can continue to be your gentleman, but in the face of love, everyone is powerless to resist after all. You can speak righteously to Concubine Yun, just because you don't love her anymore!"
made this bold speculation, he was also startled, and suddenly as if he had dug out a big secret with his own hands, he excitedly surrounded the young man and probed his brain, and said with a smile: "Hey, it's not easy? Our love saint brother actually got a new love? Isn't she more beautiful than Concubine Yun? Let me guess, who is that girl?"
The young man couldn't stand her hairy tugging, frowned and pushed her hand away, and said, "Don't worry too much, where do I have a sweetheart? Just take care of yourself...... Well, if you insist on going, I'll go with you. Did you hear what I said at the grave?"
The girl nodded inexplicably, and the young man said, "I'm tired of being an official in the court, so it's better to go to the martial arts to experience and live a more free and easy life." Originally, I had the intention of resigning a month ago, but I had to accompany the emperor to take care of the mess left over, and he was also angry at that time...... Now that it's okay, the ritual notes of the Ministry of Rites have been presented to participate in the performance, and when the ceremony is held tomorrow, the emperor will officially govern himself, and I will no longer need me. β
The girl still felt a little suspicious, and said: "Now that the emperor is so dependent on you, if you continue to stay in the palace and serve, and your progress is just around the corner, why should you have to live with your own future? How much effort did you make to get this hard-won opportunity......
The young man said, "No. People always have to broaden their horizons from time to time in order to surpass and grow gradually. I know very well that the current state is the limit of what I can achieve. The traditional culture is vast and profound, not only am I not very knowledgeable, but there are endless places worth exploring in any field. If I continue to stay in the court, I will certainly enjoy a temporary honor, but I will always be stubborn, since I cannot surprise the emperor, I will be tired of him, and then I will no longer be his important adviser, but will be reduced to a slanderous and greedy man. A person should always understand the unknown in order to make up for his ignorance. I don't want to be an incompetent person who is left behind and protected. That's ...... Challenge yourself. β
The girl still tried to persuade him. Strange to say, she has long been disheartened about her future and has no hope, but she can't bear to see others give up on herself, so she tries her best to turn her head and say, "But your family ......"
The young man couldn't bear to hear her say more, and interrupted: "Yes, my grandmother raised me since I was a child, and no matter how hard my life is, even the money saved from between my teeth will be used for me to study." I can have today, I can't help but say that I have her hard work. But the official thus created is just an unintentional puppet, not the real me. I had a detailed conversation with her the other day and told her all my thoughts. This time, we are entirely as two people of equal status. She said that now that I have grown up, I know how to distinguish between right and wrong, and I am gradually forming a set of personal values, and she is just a guide on my growth path, but she will no longer control my life. Nothing outside the body is as important as living happily and freely. For more than ten years, I lived for her, and I didn't do anything that I was happy about. After that, she can completely leave it to me to make her own decisions, and as long as I can be happy, it is the greatest comfort to her. What else can I say? Wherever I go to the ends of the earth, I will often take a few days out of time to go back to the capital to visit her. A few friends also agreed to take care of her on my behalf. Anyway, I'm still young, and even if the path I've taken deviates temporarily, I still have time to turn back. In fact, being young is a capital that is more valuable than anything. β
The girl listened in a fog, raised a finger, and whispered, "There is one last question." Sometimes I see you like a rotten Confucian, sometimes with a straight face, sometimes like a 'humble gentleman, gentle as jade', sometimes like a naΓ―ve and ignorant child, so...... Which one is the real you?" the boy was slightly stunned, as if he had asked her a question. The girl put her hands behind her back and writhed back and forth on her tiptoes, looking at him triumphantly.
The young man reacted quickly, saying, "Maybe it's all or maybe it's neither." Each person has many different personalities and ways of doing things, some of which he may not even be aware of. It depends on which kind of mentality we choose to face each time, or in other words, when we deal with someone, we will expose a certain side of our temperament. Either intentionally or subconsciously chosen. But if you can show the most real you in front of the other party, in front of him, laugh out loud if you want to laugh, cry happily if you want to cry, don't bother to create a certain image, such friendship, although it is inevitable to conflict with each other, but often the most sincere, and the most loyal. β
Seeing that the girl was half-understood, she smiled faintly and said, "Okay! Tomorrow I will go to the emperor to ask for my resignation." You must also have a lot to say to your former master, I don't want to disturb, and I don't have the habit of eavesdropping, so I'm leaving. Remember, wait for me. The last two words were as light as a whisper.
The girl suddenly came back to her senses, and said hurriedly: "Hey, don't go, hey, ......" The young man did not squint, passing by her side, when the two passed by, the flying clothes touched each other, each of them was full of the wind, covered and rolled, and seemed to be unwilling to stop for a long time.
Such a conversation can happen between countless people every day, and at every moment, the fate of two people will be entangled by fate. The girl's cheeks suddenly burned with a hint of heat, and she raised her hand and pressed it lightly, but the feeling of heat was like melting the ice cubes on her fingertips.
As far as the eye could see, the young man's back had blurred into a small silhouette in the distance, but it was still clear in the line of sight. It seems that no matter how the wind and clouds change color, no matter how dirty the heaven and earth are, there will always be that spotless pure white within every inch, which can guide the path of the lost and the direction of the world.
The girl's face was flushed at some point, perhaps even she was unconscious, and when she saw the person she always thought about in her heart, her heart boiled with blood, and her whole body was about to burn, and then it was like falling into an ice cave, and every cell was full of cold ups and downs.
When I get along with that young man, it is like a clear stream in front of me, and there is always a faint layer of warmth rippling in my heart, melting my whole heart in that warmth. In contrast, she liked the feeling.
After a long time, he suddenly realized his abnormality, paused, and said to himself: "What...... Every time I speak, I feel like I'm playing a sharp edge, and I have to be an old scholar in front ......of me! I haven't had time to ask clearly, which way are you with me?"
Secretly decided that he would find out the next time they met, turned his head to look at the lonely tombstone, and slowly knelt down, and said softly: "Concubine Yun, I haven't seen you for a long time...... In that world, you must be ...... The same majesty, right?"
βββββ
In the eastern part of Liaodong, a young man walked forward silently. Unkempt, shabby, and a scruffy beard on the chin. There are two big dark circles under the eyes, and I don't know how many days I haven't rested. There was a saber hanging from his waist, and there were several layers of rust on the black lacquer surface, which seemed to be an antiquity of several years. When anyone sees him, the first thought in their mind will flash the words "Journey of Detention and Hardship".
And the young man's temper seemed to be very strange, he never talked to people, he blindly walked straight with his head closed, and his face was full of coldness, which was to prevent people from approaching easily. I hurried during the day, rested in the inn in a hurry at night, and paid the room early on the second day and continued on the road.
At this time, it was a time of war, and it was not uncommon to see such homeless people everywhere on the streets. Therefore, the people inevitably glanced at it with curiosity at first, and then no one would look at such people again. Naturally, no one knows, and the one who passed by them is the number one person in the rivers and lakes now, Li Yijie, the leader of the martial arts alliance.
It took Li Yijie about a month to finally calm down the emerging war at the border pass. And he didn't know anything about the new earth-shattering changes in the capital. There is only one thing in mind, and under the emptiness of the surface of the eyes, what is hidden is a deeper confusion. It's like looking at the calm sea from afar, until the deepest part, you can see the whirlpools raging.
Li Yijie was immersed in his thoughts, I hope that everything in heaven and earth will leave him as soon as possible, and don't disturb him. It can be said that he has never seen such a terrible situation in his life, has never experienced such a setback, and has never faced such a difficult choice......
Seeing that it was getting late, I found a nearby inn. He doesn't care about extravagance, just a simple place to stay, so he doesn't sleep on the streets. After paying the money, I didn't say a word to the shopkeeper, but went straight into the room and fell asleep.
He didn't sleep well, and when he didn't know how long it was, a series of swords and swords mixed with blood and rain flashed in front of him, and that conversation, that proposal that might completely change his life.
There were a few moments when he dreamed of himself being covered in blood, giving birth to three heads, all with bloody mouths, green fangs, seven or eight arms coming out of his back, waving his teeth and claws, raising his hand, and the blood in front of him was a whole light, and he was a newborn monster.
The woman with a blurred face in front of her seemed to have a deep connection with herself, and she was trying to say something. He wanted to raise his hand to help, but the outstretched palm turned into a sharp claw, and after a scream, the woman's whole body was drenched in blood and exploded into ashes in front of his eyes. It's just that what is broken is not the smoke and dust that drifts away, but has become pieces of withered petals.
Li Yijie's heart was in a mess, and he suddenly opened his eyes and woke up. What I saw in front of me was a gray ceiling overhead. His forehead was already dripping with cold sweat, and he gasped for breath, and he didn't know where he was or where his soul was going, and he couldn't tell whether it was a remnant nightmare or a real evil.
