Chapter 1048: Leaving in Despair
All the beginnings were suspicious, and only Chen Shijin, who was the main general of the enemy army, was the internal response, and all of this could be connected - Lu Jing finally calculated the truth, and personally concluded that Zhu Yuanzhang was the murderer who really killed Qin Yu, Murong Ying and Hu Yidi!
And here today, Lu Jing boldly said in front of Zhu Yuanzhang that things have come to this point, and there is no need for him to continue "acting"......
"It's you, the emperor, who killed General Qin and General Murong...... Including Chen Shijin, who has been serving you-" Lu Jing said with a slightly hateful gaze, "As soldiers, we shed blood and sacrificed for the emperor on the battlefield, why does the emperor calculate us...... I think that when the Northern Expedition to Shandong was made, the vanguard army was full of five tigers and won a hundred battles, and its might shocked the Central Plains, but now it has fallen apart and is about to die, and the emperor is willing to give up, right......
"This is not what I said...... Zhu Yuanzhang had a calm face, and said with a cold smile, "I installed the internal response and calculated the two armies, all for the purpose of crusading against Meng Yuan and saving the world-although the truth is a little cruel, but for the sake of the common people in the world, there will definitely be a necessary sacrifice...... Whether it is He Yifan, Chen Shijin, or even General Zhao Zichuan, who you and General Tang Zhan have been thinking about, they are all for the righteousness of the world, for me to pacify the country and save the Central Plains, without complaint or regret, and die as he deserves-"
Lu Jing saw it in her eyes, her eyes were full of Zhu Yuanzhang's "righteous and righteous sophistry" as a king, her eyes were full of blood and tears, and her heart was like a thousand knives. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
And Su Jia, who was lying next to Chen Shijin's body, especially when she heard the last sentence "Death deservedly", her heart suddenly became inexplicable, her fists clenched and swallowed, and it was difficult to hide the excitement in her heart for a while......
"They are willing to sacrifice their lives for the righteousness of the world, they are heroes......" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to "indifferently" said, "I have perfected them, let them have heroes, although they sacrificed their lives, they have no regrets...... On the other hand, Qing and the others were suspicious of my intentions several times, but Chen Shijin, Zhao Zichuan and others never complained-in this way, is it my fault or your fault?"
In exchange for the overall situation at the expense of small righteousness, Zhu Yuanzhang meant this - for some reason, Xiao Tian, who had been silent, listened to it from the sidelines and felt inexplicably harsh.
"They sacrificed for the common people in the world, they are heroes, I am facing thousands of suspicions, raising rebels to crusade against Meng Yuan, I am also a hero - heroes do great things, do not stick to small sections, sacrifice and bloodshed are inevitable, involving too many emotions is the great ......righteousness lost" Zhu Yuanzhang said confidently, looking at Chen Shijin's bloody corpse, his tone changed, "However, although Chen Shijin completed the tasks in the army, he did not do it all, and in the end, he still attached his feelings and did not make a ruthless ......"
When Su Jia heard this, her ears couldn't help but tremble, as if she had a premonition of something, and her heart felt like a needle prick.
"I told him, he did it, and he didn't show mercy to his subordinates at all when he killed the 'Divine General' Qin Yu......" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Su Jia's back again, and said indifferently, "But I didn't expect that in the last battle of Amber Hill, he still relented...... In the end, I ordered Chen Shijin to come before waiting for me at Huqiu, and personally hand over the 'Tongguan Frontier Defense Map'...... But I didn't expect that in a decisive battle with Su Yu's envoy, he still showed mercy to his subordinates - thinking about you, a beloved junior sister, didn't kill you completely......"
After listening to this paragraph, Su Jia completely understood Chen Shijin's true concern for him, as well as Zhu Yuanzhang's vicious scheming...... With a low expression, Su Jia held up Chen Shijin's body with both hands, slowly stood up from the ground, turned his back to Zhu Yuanzhang, and did not look at it.
"The three-year plan finally came to fruition, but at the last moment, I was merciful and soft-hearted, and Qing still disappointed me......" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to sigh at Chen Shijin's body.
"You stop me......" Suddenly, Su Jia turned her back to her body and said coldly.
"What?" Hearing Su Jia's slightly murderous tone, Zhu Yuanzhang asked cautiously.
"Chen Shijin is a hero, he endured three years of ruined and ruined, and sacrificed for the righteousness of the world......" Su Jia did not turn around and look at each other, but always turned his back to Zhu Yuanzhang coldly, and said words that shocked him from the heart, "What kind of thing are you......?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, a wave of anger suddenly appeared in his eyes, but he never showed his emotions in front of outsiders, and he always had a cold-blooded face.
"Presumptuous, dare to be so rude to the emperor!-" Xu Da couldn't listen anymore, raised his sword and shouted, "Imperial Envoy Su, do you know what your identity is now, and you actually speak and act to the emperor?!"
"It doesn't matter-" However, Su Jia was expressionless, holding the body of his senior brother with both hands, but blood and tears flowed in his heart, and he said coldly and desperately, "From today on, I, Su Jia, am no longer a lieutenant general in the vanguard army, but just a pawn in the rivers and lakes......"
"What are you talking about?-" Hearing Su Jia's determination to leave the army without permission, Xu Da couldn't help but be surprised.
"Miss Su......" Chang Yuchun showed a more pitiful look - counting it, the grievances between the Wind Chaser faction and Zhu Yuanzhang three years ago were all caused by themselves, if he hadn't personally gone to the Wind Chaser faction to make friends with Chen Shijin, there would not be today's "tragedy"...... As a fellow disciple, Chang Yuchun saw the helplessness and sadness of fate from Su Jia, and there was also a trace of bitterness and sadness in his heart......
Su Jia looked ahead, as if she was about to leave, bowed her head slightly and smiled, and said kindly to Chen Shijin's body: "Go, Senior Brother Chen, I'll take you home......"
The wry smile and the declining figure are exactly the same as the picture of Su Jia leaving with Hongyun's corpse three years ago.
Looking at Su Jia, who knew the truth, and her incomparable attachment to Chen Shijin, Xiao Tian felt an inexplicable sourness in his heart, and said secretly: "Jia'er......"
Su Jia took two steps forward, and countless Ming soldiers suddenly surged around, and swords faced each other to block Su Jia's way.
"Whoever dares to stop me today, I will let his bloody corpse ...... on the spot" Seeing the army blocking, Su Jia slightly showed the cold light on her waist, and suddenly shouted, "Don't you get out of the way?!!!
The last shock and consternation, all the Ming soldiers present were startled, the hands holding the weapons could not stop trembling, and their feet moved back trembling......
"Let her go......" Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be "soft", with a depressed expression, ready to let Su Jia live.
In fact, now tens of thousands of main forces surround the mountain, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang gives an order, even if Su Jia's peerless martial arts can't escape from the top of this Amber Hill, but Zhu Yuanzhang still let Su Jia go, he seems to have other thoughts in his heart, and his expression is more hesitant than just now, his eyes have been looking at Su Jia's back, and there is an indescribable feeling in his heart......
Even though it was a military order, the soldiers still got out of the way and did not stop Su Jia again. Su Jia didn't even look at everyone, kept holding Chen Shijin's body, smiled and said kindly: "Senior Brother Chen, we can go home......
Not only did he not take care of the soldiers of the Ming army, but he also didn't take into account Xiao Tian, Xu Shuang and others, Su Jia's expression seemed to be numb, and only Chen Shijin in front of him slowly walked down the mountain with his body.
"Senior Sister Yiyao-" "Senior Sister ......" Xu Shuang and the others watched Senior Sister leave, and ran up desperately-Anyway, they were not soldiers in the army, and as the envoy of the Wind Chasing Faction, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't react much......
Related to it, Xiao Tian is left. Temporarily putting aside the "bitter thoughts" in his heart, Xiao Tian was silent, and followed the direction of Su Jia and the others going down the mountain.
However, Xiao Tian's departure move, the soldiers behind him suddenly all rushed up - Su Jia and the disciples of the Wind Chasing Sect, the emperor personally ordered them to let them go, but Xiao Tian, as a 'Pingwei General', has an important position in the army, and it is against the military regulations to leave without authorization, so the soldiers will naturally not turn a blind eye.
But Zhu Yuanzhang is tolerant of Xiao Tian, even if he makes a big mistake, Zhu Yuanzhang will not be held accountable. However, Xiao Tian seemed to have chosen to leave the army and leave himself, Zhu Yuanzhang felt an inexplicable reluctance and sadness in his heart, and looked at Xiao Tian's figure uncertainly.
"Woo ......Woo Woo T
"Brother Xiao......" Tang Zhan has been following behind the army, looking at Xiao Tian's abnormal behavior, he can't help but read silently on the side......
"Imperial Envoy Su is gone, do you want to leave General Xiao too?" Xu Da looked at Xiao Tian with a kind of reproachful eyes, and deliberately raised his voice and asked.
Xiao Tian didn't speak, but just stared at Zhu Yuanzhang with firm eyes - today's truth made Xiao Tian see Zhu Yuanzhang's "original heart" clearly, from a hero who saved the world's lives to a ruthless executioner, the change in form and mind made Xiao Tian completely change his mind.
"General Xiao ......" Finally, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who spoke first, "I have always respected you as a hero, whether you are right or wrong, I have never blamed you...... But today, you have to leave me like the envoy of Su, is it really a pity?"
"I'm just like Jia'er, I'm just a wild man in the rivers and lakes, what's the pity to say or not to leave?" Xiao Tian didn't have much expression, just replied coldly.
"General Xiao, do you remember, right? When I was in Tengzhou, the 'hunting trip' between you and me ......" Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned the testimonial of his fellowship with Xiao Tian that day, and couldn't help recalling, "I said that you and I are both heroes - there are two kinds of heroes in the world, one is the hero who kills people, and the other is the hero who saves people...... I am a hero who kills people, you 'Canglong Hero' is a hero who saves people, the heroes of the world are only you and me, if Qing leaves, won't you lose the righteousness of the world?"
Hearing this, Xiao Tian remembered the "heroic talk" between himself and Zhu Yuanzhang that day......
(in recall)......
After the Tengzhou War, Xiao Tian and Zhu Yuanzhang went on a "hunting trip" on the mountain road......
Zhu Yuanzhang regained his spirits, looked forward with expectant eyes, and said with a smile: "General Xiao is really a hero, you and I are heroes, but they say different ways of heroes!"
"Different ...... The Way of Heroes?" Xiao Tian still couldn't understand for a long time.
Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "As I said before, I say 'to become a hero, you must endure sacrifice', and I say 'a hero is not achieved with blood'...... What you and I said is all true, and today's words of General Xiao really gave Zhu a new insight into heroes -- since we are heroes, we are different heroes! From today onwards, to save the lives of the people in the world, I, Zhu Yuanzhang, will be a 'hero who kills people,' and General Xiao, you will be a 'hero who saves people'! You and I are indispensable, and only when both of them enter, can the world be calm, hahahaha-"
"Murderous Hero...... The hero who saves people......" Xiao Tian kept muttering in his mouth, and Xiao Tian couldn't calm down for a long time about Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden summary.
"To tell the truth, the people who fight the world with me, such as Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, are all heroes like me, but they are all heroes who kill the enemy on the battlefield and suffer blood...... Zhu Yuanzhang continued, "But General Xiao, you are different, although you also kill, but it is not your intention." You are a hero who saves people, and you are low-key and upright, which is rare in the world...... If Zhu can really expel the tyranny of Meng Yuan from the Central Plains in the near future, pacify the world, and achieve great achievements, there will only be two heroes in this world -- one is me, Zhu Yuanzhang, 'the hero who kills', and the other is you Xiao Tian, 'the hero who saves people'!"
These words are like the heroic words of the world, and like the thunder of the fission of heaven and earth, which seems to indicate the fixed change of the pattern of the world......
Zhu Yuanzhang said that he was ambitious, and I have to say that through today's dialogue, he decided that in his heart, apart from himself, Xiao Tian was the only hero in this world, a hero of another realm that he had never thought of!
But Xiao Tian doesn't seem to think so, although he agrees with Zhu Yuanzhang's words, but from Zhu Yuanzhang's words and deeds today, Xiao Tian suddenly has an inexplicable worry about the future in his heart......
(In reality)......
And today, this worry has finally been clarified, and the doubts in Xiao Tian's heart have gradually been resolved......
"I'm not a hero, and you're not a hero......" Xiao Tian's expression was very calm, and he said slowly, "It's just that you are the emperor, I am a grass people, and your identity is high and low, but the essence is not noble or low......"
"Wrong, you and I are heroes!" However, Zhu Yuanzhang always firmly believed in his obsession, and still had a trace of nostalgia for Xiao Tian, and said generously, "Those who achieve great things are not informal, and what they do in a peaceful and prosperous world will definitely have bloodshed and sacrifice! The one who creates the times is the hero -- General Xiao, don't you want to work with me to seek hegemony in the world and become the hero of the world? Isn't this your long-standing ideal, do you want to give up your lifelong ideal and go to your share of the name of 'Canglong Hero'......"
After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Xiao Tian's heart kept echoing - Zhao Zichuan, Nangong Jun, Murong Fei, He Yifan, Qin Yu, Murong Ying, Hu Yidi, Chen Shijin...... Zhu Yuanzhang not only did not regret his feelings of remembrance, but also regarded him as no one; even after Chen Shijin did his best to do his duty, he despised him and said lightly, without any respect or mourning, and completely looked like a dictator......
Finally, Xiao Tian said the most profound sobering sentence in his life......
"That's right, I have wanted to be a hero since I was a child, expelling tyranny and saving the ......world," Xiao Tian responded slowly, and then said solemnly to Zhu Yuanzhang, "But if the so-called 'hero' is a strategy to disregard the sacrifice of small sections in exchange for the interests of the overall situation, I would rather be a flesh-and-blood 'hero' who cherishes emotions than a cold-blooded and ruthless 'hero' who kills people without blinking!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's ears echoed—especially Zhu Yuanzhang, who suddenly cast a surprised gaze at Xiao Tian......
