Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-Seven: About the Future
The tiger and leopard, who had been watching the ostriches since they were seated, were suddenly called by name, and they couldn't help but panic.
Obviously, because of the intervention of the Ten Thousand Beast Villa, the matter of the two-headed dragon beast has greatly exceeded the scope of the clan resource competition in a certain area, but has reached a level that he cannot intervene in.
Expressing one's views on such a matter has always been a matter of corresponding responsibility, and how dare he speak at this time.
I had to wave my hand to Du Sha, who turned around, and said, "If the students have no opinions, you can just discuss." ”
"No, no, or don't dare. ”
Du Sha said lightly: "You brought people from Yancang, even if you only want to be consistent, you shouldn't stay out of it." ”
Several people in the room all set their eyes on Feng Shixing, even Tang Luo behind the bookcase, which made the tiger and leopard Alexander of Ningxiang Road.
Standing up crampedly, Feng Shixing almost didn't dare to make eye contact with Yunxiu and Du Sha's eyes, and lowered his head and whispered, "Students think... Elder Du Ting was right. ”
"Yes. ”
Hearing Feng Shixing's answer, Du Sha replied with a little disappointment, then turned his head and didn't look at him again.
And Du Ting, Nong Mangu, and Nian Bo on the side heard Feng Shixing's choice of current affairs like this, their nervous faces suddenly changed, and they suddenly felt that the overall situation had been decided.
Du Ting got up and said in high spirits: "Now that Feng Xiaozi has also chosen, four votes to two, the old man will go and bring the dragon beast out and hand it over to Shi Qianhai." ”
"Elder and slow. ”
Du Sha stretched out his finger and pointed to the scroll room behind the dean, and said lightly to Du Ting, who was full of joy: "There are two people in it who have not spoken, so why worry." ”
"Don't delay any longer!"
Du Ting asked angrily: "Even Feng Xiaozi has expressed his position, how can anyone miss it." ”
"Yes. ”
Du Sha said calmly: "Since we want to discuss whether or not to hand people over, shouldn't we ask my opinion?" ”
As he spoke, heavy footsteps sounded in the rolling room, and two dragon beasts with gloomy expressions crawled out and walked to the dean's desk.
Human beings are complex animals, and the complexity lies in the fact that many times we feel that we are acting with reason, but in fact, most of the time, it is emotions that really affect our judgment.
In the absence of the person concerned, Du Ting and the others were able to say that they wanted to send the dragon beast to Shi Qianhai without any burden, and they could also confidently list one, two, three, four, as if they had all the reason.
But when they find out that all the words have just been heard by the person concerned, they will feel a little ashamed.
Because Du Ting thought that when the Yancang Alliance pursued the dragon beast that day, it was he who led the two-headed dragon beast to the back mountain, and comforted the two-headed dragon beast all the way, saying that they would be safe when they arrived at Chixia, but today it was also him, who strongly advocated sending the two-headed dragon beast away, as if to recover all the previous relief.
And the old man's face is also a little red, the man who begs for life in the water is anxious for justice and righteousness, but the righteousness in the face of the Yancang Alliance is gone when he knocks on the door of the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa, and his shame is not because he is ashamed of the dragon beast, but because his righteous and cowardly side has been seen, as if he has become a villain with two faces and three knives.
As for Feng Shixing, after seeing the two dragon beasts appear, he clenched his fists and couldn't wait to open a crack on the ground so that he could get in.
But this kind of emotional guilt is just a fleeting emotion after all, and the reason why Du Ting and the others chose this way is because they have such a reason.
I thought that the dragon beast would be extremely hostile to them after listening to the discussion just now, but I didn't think that the two dragon beasts didn't look at them at all, but just walked up to the dean and bowed down lifelessly.
Seeing this scene, Du Ting was a little discouraged, if the dean also took into account the opinions of the two-headed dragon beast, then the scene would become four votes against four, so that their previous argument would be very meaningless.
So even if he felt a little guilty in his heart, Du Ting still spoke up and said: "Not to mention that they can't speak, even if you count the two of them, it's just a draw." ”
"But if this matter drags on, we will be left with fewer and fewer choices! Dusha, there are hundreds of thousands of households up and down Chixia Mountain, but you want to put them in danger because of the two dragon beasts, is this your benevolence!?"
Although Du Ting's words were aimed at Du Sha, he was actually putting pressure on the two dragon beasts, and he saw Lu Chongyan and Fu Yuanshan, who had fallen to the ground, trembling all over, and their scales were all down, obviously frightened.
Although everyone has the will to survive, even the most selfish person will hesitate to at least think of some decent words because he wants to live and ask the rescuer who has nothing to lose.
But these days, no matter what angle Lu Chongyan and Fu Yuanshan are looking for, they haven't found any argument that they should let the academy come forward for them.
And the arrival of the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa only exposed this fact in advance, and the two dragon beasts that fell to the ground looked at each other, as if they had made some kind of decision, raising their long and thick necks.
"Dean, Lu Chongyan (Fu Yuanshan) only wants to die. ”
The two-headed dragon beast's square opening made everyone present a little surprised, and after hearing the content clearly, they were even more emotionally complicated.
"There is only one life, and if it is gone, there is nothing. ”
Tang Luo, who was leaning on the back of the chair, said quietly: "Maybe you can be the same as Shi Sanke, as the three finished products of Cao Lie's countless experiments, you will get good treatment, it is better than dying immediately." ”
"Shi Sanke is willing to be a beast to survive, the student just wants to die as a human, and he hopes that the dean will be fulfilled!"
The dragon beast straightened its spine in the appearance of a human, and the appearance of clenching its fists with its forelimbs was a little funny, but at this time, no one in the room could laugh, and Du Ting and the three of them were even more pale.
"Do you think so too?"
Tang Luo asked Lu Chongyan beside Fu Yuanshan.
"Students naturally want to live... But if you have to be a dog by Cao Lie's side to survive, then... Then the student would rather die!"
Lu Chongyan said weakly and firmly.
"Your plea has been heard. ”
Tang Luo nodded and said seriously towards the two-headed dragon beast.
"Then the students won't bother the adults. ”
After saying what he was going to say, the two dragon beasts lay on the ground, turned around, and walked squarely and heroically on all fours, slowly leaving the dean's room.
Watching the two dragon beasts disappear into the corner of the corridor, Tang Luocai sighed faintly: "Even if some people are reduced to the body of beasts, they still walk humanely. ”
After sighing, Tang Luo faced everyone and said in a harmonious voice: "Everything in the world is the result of contradictions and choices, whether it is an individual or an organization, the higher you go, the more choices you face." ”
"The student turned into a dragon beast and came to ask for help, the academy helped intercept the pursuit of the Yancang forces was the choice, and the city hall helped to prevaricate is the choice. ”
"Ten Thousand Beasts Villa came to the door, and several people weighed the pros and cons, and felt that it was also a choice not to lose big because of small things. ”
"Look, we have made different judgments and choices for the same thing, is it because the thing itself has changed?"
"I don't think the matter itself has changed, maybe it's just the difficulty of the choice that has changed, with the current strength of Wushuang City, it is easy to stop the pursuers coming from the weir, so we can stand on the side of morality with peace of mind. ”
"And when the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa comes to the door, the choice becomes complicated. We all know what Cao Lie means by not coming forward himself, but by using the Shi brothers of the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa to exert pressure, and we all know how passive the other party will be in this matter if the other party holds the evidence of the imperial seal. ”
"So at this time, it becomes very difficult to insist on morality, so we feel that it is okay to compromise, at least to preserve the college. ”
"Even we can comfort ourselves that we are only doing this now because of our weak strength, so we have to make compromises, and when the academy is strong in the future, this kind of thing will not happen again!"
Du Ting, Nong Mangu, and Nian Bo, who felt the same way, nodded again and again, feeling that Tang Luo's words went straight to their hearts.
"The idea is good, but once you start to favor the easy choice, you can't go back, because for the Musou Academy, there will always be that easier choice. ”
"Today, the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Villa wants Fu Yuanshan and Lu Chongyan, as long as it doesn't hurt the foundation of Wushuang City, it's good for them. ”
"Tomorrow, if you are a little stronger, Cao Lie of the Royal Beast Sect will come to the door and ask the academy to send disciples to cooperate with the research, anyway, they are all recruited casual cultivators, and they can also establish a relationship with the Royal Beast Sect, so it's good for them." ”
"If one day, the matter of turning into a beast is exposed, Cao Lie pats his ass and hides back in Dragon Valley, pointing his hand at Chixia, how will we spend it then?"
Tang Luo asked Du Ting, who was shocked.
"How so... How so..."
Du Ting lost his mind: "Could it be that the dean means that we shouldn't return the dragon beast to the Shi family brothers now?"
"Looks like you still don't get it. ”
Tang Luo said with a smile: "How you choose, in the end, it will only affect the future of Wushuang City, because the appearance of Wushuang City in the future is determined by the choice of the present, not according to your imagination of the future. ”
In the field, Yun Xiu, Du Sha, and Feng Shixing were thoughtful, while Nian Bo, Du Ting, and Nong Mangu were full of doubts.
Therefore, this decision is not about whether Cao Lie's actions are brutal or not, and whether the research on turning into a human beast is incoherent. This decision only depends on what kind of organization you want the Peerless City and the Peerless Academy to be. ”
Tang Luo, who had been leaning on the back of the chair, sat up straight, crossed his elbows with his fingers crossed and placed them under his chin, and said with a smile: "So, choose carefully, this hospital wants to see what Wushuang will look like in the future." ”
What was originally just a small issue of whether to hand over or not to hand over people suddenly turned into a decision related to the future of Wushuang City, which made several people in the room feel confused.
Even the always cold Dussa couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you tell me about the future unparalleled appearance in your heart?"
"Because this kind of thing is not decided by me, but by you. ”
Tang Luo replied with a smile: "Even if the current Wushuang Academy is gone, it can still operate as usual, if there is no monarch, it will be chaotic in less than two days." Therefore, what really determines the direction of this city has changed from me to you, and his future appearance is no longer up to me. Naturally, this decision should be made by you. ”
"What about you. ”
Dusha frowned and asked, "Don't you have any inclination in your heart about this?"
"Yes, yes. ”
Tang Luo said lightly: "As far as this court is concerned, no matter what decision you make, it is just a decision. ”
......
Twin Cities
Banquet Building
To entertain relatives in the Holy Land, the City Hall naturally spared no effort to charter the most luxurious restaurant in the inner city as a restaurant, and the good wine and good food were given to the masters of the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa.
The specifications of this courtesy are unprecedented in Wushuang City, but in Shi Qianhai's eyes, it is still a little shabby.
"It's all frozen lean meat that has lost its aura, and even the spiritual food has a stale taste, the countryside is the countryside, and you can't even stutter food!"
Slapping the wine bowl on the table, Shi Qianhai frowned and said, "Du Ting'er is doing something with such ink, how many hours have passed, and there is no news!?"
"Second master, don't worry, the little one will go to the city hall to urge!"
The general on the side heard that the head of the family was dissatisfied and hurriedly said.
"This is such a terrible place, the biggest restaurant, and there is not even a singing song!"
After picking out the wine and food, Shi Qianhai was dissatisfied again: "I have been gone for a long time, why haven't you come back yet?"
"I'm back, I'm back, second master!"
While he was talking, the general who was called Jiu'er ran up to the restaurant with two big bags on his shoulders, and complained as soon as he came up: "Don't you know, in the countryside of Wushuang City, there is not even a brothel Qinglou, and even the secret prostitutes only dare to go out on the street at night, and the subordinates are easy to find, so they found the two and the second master's heart!"
"Well, that's a good job. ”
Seeing the graceful posture that the bag couldn't hide, Shi Qianhai stretched his brows, patted the wine jar on the table and said, "This table of wine and food will reward you!"
They are all generals, where they can't afford to eat a table of wine and food, but this kind of respect is not something that can be measured by the value of wine and food.
Yu Jiu hurriedly thanked him, and did not forget to beckon others to carry people into the second master's house, and the atmosphere was so unhappy.
......
Chixia Mountain Ferry
The southern port has all been occupied by the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa, and hundreds of fierce beasts of different populations have been taken out in turn, making the Wushuang City side that has established a garrison extremely nervous.
This is also something that cannot be helped, after all, if there is a wild beast that rushes into the city, it will cause the inner city to suffer great losses, in order to prevent this worst situation, several standing armed forces in Wushuang City almost poured out, and set up a guard at the ferry to guard the wild beasts of the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa.
But obviously, the imperial master of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Villa did not take this kind of vigilance in his eyes at all, but just took care of himself to control the beast and let it go, and then urged the Wushuang City to send food over quickly, if the desolate beast was hungry, he couldn't afford to treat Yunyun.
Although the other party's attitude was arrogant, but in the face of the relatives of the Royal Beast Sect, there was nothing the Wushuang City side could do, only to see a large amount of meat being transported out by the city guards and practicing in a long line on the mountain road.
The meat that was supposed to be a meal for the disciples of the academy became the rations of the desolate beast, and it would be a lie to say that he was not distressed, but when the handed over imperial master kicked over the frozen beast meat, the warriors of Wushuang City still couldn't stop being angry.
