After leaving the royal capital, we continued to the northeast, and Li Yan and Cao Wuxian said that in the northeast of the Song Kingdom, there was a Xiaoling, and that it was now the stronghold of the Furukawa punishment.

It's just that the location of this Xiao Tomb can't be found out in a short period of time, and our pursuit of Guchuan Xing is limited to death by this point.

When the three of them went out to intercept and kill Ghost Yizi and Yu Fusu, the eldest brother stayed there and continued to look for the location of Xiaoling.

In the Xiaoling Detachment Battle, Cao Tou Cheng died in battle, which was a great strategic blow to us, because the huge network of contacts in Cao Tou Cheng's hands was cut off.

According to the original plan, we should pull the temple into the water...... Belch...... No, it was to invite them to join our camp and join forces against Furukawa Xing, but Furukawa Xing's side moved too fast, so that he didn't have so much time to prepare that he had already rushed to fight.

Moreover, the mercy star died in battle, and the Water Moon Tower was directly closed, which was another big blow to us.

In addition, Xu Zhuojue's foreign sect, as well as some people in the rivers and lakes, all uphold the attitude of sitting and watching success or failure, which makes me feel a little bit gritted my teeth.

Those guys are stupid, they don't understand what Furukawa is doing right now.

The elixir is impossible to make, because it doesn't exist.

Even so, after eating the refined Tiger Wolf Pill, who knows what shocking things a madman like Furukawa will do.

They choose to wait and see now, which seems to be a wise choice to preserve their strength, but when Furukawa really starts to exert his strength, they will know how stupid they are and how short-sighted they are!

When I came to the city that was almost the northeast of the Song Kingdom, I saw the eldest brother, in the city lord's mansion.

"Longchen is here!"

He was not surprised to see me coming, it should be said that he had expected me to come, and this kind of expectation would naturally not be exciting.

"Big brother, how is the situation now?"

When I asked, he looked at me a little strangely, and then looked at me and Cao Wuxian and Li Yan who were together.

"Didn't they tell you?"

I nodded, "They told me what happened some time ago, and what I want to know is what's going on!"

"I see. ”

After nodding his head in understanding, he said: "The current situation is very bad, I feel that the elixir of Furukawa Punishment will completely enter the late stage, and it is estimated that it can be completed by collecting the blood of the living soul again!"

I was really surprised, and I was a little skeptical that Furukawa had omitted some refining steps, otherwise how could it be so fast!

"Is it still too late?"

He nodded, "Your strength should have reached the Peerless Realm, wait for them to make their last move, just interrupt them here!"

I said, "Do you know their whereabouts?"

At this time, he turned around, pointed to a map of the whole Song Kingdom on the table, and said, "The specific location of Xiaoling is not clear, but it can be locked in this range." ”

As he spoke, his finger drew a circle in the corner of the map, drawing three cities in it.

"As long as we guard these cities, we are not afraid that Furukawa will not show up!"

Seeing that he was still saying this quite confidently, my heart was beating a drum, so I asked, "Big brother, isn't it possible for Furukawa to go to other cities for blood sacrifices?"

He shook his head vigorously and said, "Maybe you didn't see it, Furukawa is a true perfectionist, and he doesn't allow the slightest flaw to appear in such a big thing as refining the elixir." ”

"Stretching the battle line too long can easily lead to accidents in the process of collecting and transporting the soul blood, and the time for refining the medicine is non-negotiable, so he has no other choice. ”

I don't have a problem with the fact that he chose to lock Furukawa's action to death, and I don't take it too seriously, because I take another thing more seriously.

"But what about the people, the people of the city, once the sacrifice of the blood of the living soul begins, can we save their lives?"

As soon as I said this, the eldest brother fell silent and lowered his head.

Seeing him like this, I understood that there was no way, and those people had to be used as bait, or even sacrificed.

"Is that really good?"

I can't help but ask this question, but the answer is already in my heart, and I have always thought so, which is actually bad and unfair.

The world is a big collective, and the individuals in the collective all have the same idea, and it is okay to exchange the sacrifice of a very small number of people for the happiness of the whole, which is very cost-effective and reasonable.

Yes, because people who think like this are people who enjoy happiness, not people who actively sacrifice!

It's perfectly true that people are selfish.

When it is possible to enjoy it unconditionally, people can be satisfied, and they can present a very pleasant perception because they are enjoying it.

But when it comes to self-interest, people become unnatural, they become discordant, they become calculating, because they don't want their own sacrifices.

When the two contradict each other, there will be a voice, called the collective voice, in which the tyranny of the collective will make the unreasonable reasonable, and the callousness and cruelty to the minority will be said to be bright and just.

To put it bluntly, most people choose to give up the interests of a part of the people, and even their lives, in order to protect their common interests.

When the voices that express discontent are completely dead, completely drowned in the collective cry, such cruelty, such bloody choices truly become justice, and become examples that can be celebrated and remembered by the collective.

When you die, there is nothing, and this is true for anyone, and those who are collectively chosen to sacrifice are not even eligible to be remembered, because they are chosen to die and have no meaning to remember.

"Is that really good?"

I asked this a second time, and they were all silent and bowed their heads.

So, for the third time, I asked, "Is this really good?"

The eldest brother shook his head, "This is not good, it is unfair to do this!"

"yes!"

My emotions became uncontrollable, and I continued, "Yes, if it's not fair, then why do it?"

He put his hands on my shoulders, as if to signal me to calm down, and said, "Because we don't have a choice." ”

"Once we have sent all the people of the three castles away, it will be difficult for Furukawa to collect the blood of the living beings, and at that time, he will definitely unleash a wider unrest until enough blood is collected. ”

"The consequences of expanding such turmoil are quite serious, and if the real turmoil spreads, the entire Song Kingdom will completely collapse!"

At this point, I don't know what to say, let me not participate, just sit on the sidelines, I can't do it, let alone participate in person like this!

"Is there really no way at all, and there is no way to use external forces?"

I don't give up, and I don't want to be reconciled, so I asked.

He looked at me and shook his head, and said, "You must know that such a thing cannot be brought to the table for discussion, because the ugliness and selfishness in human nature will not be indifferent to the damage to their own interests. ”

"Think about it, if we poke this thing out, the people in the three cities will not have the consciousness of waiting for death, they will only go crazy, crazy to break out of the cage of these three cities, want to live. ”

"The more in the face of life and death, the more chaotic it is, the selfishness in that ugly human nature will be released to the greatest extent, and then it will no longer be restrained by law, morality, and authority!"

I know very well that what the eldest brother said is the truth, and this kind of thing can only be decided internally by those of us, and the results will be eliminated internally.

But if that's the case, I just can't accept it.

"You guys go ahead and discuss, I want to be quiet!"

The eldest brother understood my mood at this time, so he agreed, took Li Yan and Cao Wuxian out of here, and left the room for me.

Finding a place to sit, I took a few deep breaths in my mouth to stabilize my mood.

I don't know how many times it was, but I deeply felt my powerlessness, because I couldn't find Furukawa directly, and I couldn't solve it all perfectly.

Sure enough, the Peerless Realm is not a god yet, because God will not have troubles, and God will not have things that cannot be solved.

Push the superfluous things out of the way and it becomes simpler.

There are three castles on our side, three dangerous castles, because one, two, or even three of them are at risk of being attacked by Furukawa.

Once the attack begins, and Furukawa's proud Heaven and Earth Cadre Formation opens, the people in the city will die in an instant, and all living beings will wither.

In order not to expand the disaster, the eldest brother can only let these three cities go, let go of the crises they may encounter, and let these lives go in the face of death.

Those who are chosen do not know that they do not know what is likely to happen, that their future has been chosen and that they need to face death.

It's unfair to them, they don't know, so there's no other reaction, but I'm an informant, I know, and I need to be a part of it.

It seems to me that this is how I send these people to death in disguise......

I longed to save them, and I didn't want to see such a gratuitous sacrifice, but I couldn't do anything about it, and I knew very well that I might already be a powerful person in the world.

When the strongest people are powerless, does it mean that this matter has been determined by providence and has lost the direction of development that it should have?

I don't know if that's the right thing to do, but that's all I can say.

Time seemed to pass quickly, and it was still bright outside the window, but when I came back to my senses, it was already dark outside, because there was no palm light, and the room was also dark.

With a sigh, I got up from my chair and prepared to light the lamp.

At this time, a person came in from the outside, and very skillfully lit the lamp next to the door with a fire breaker, and the person who could make such an action was naturally the eldest brother.

I stood still and watched him speak, and he looked at me with a look on his face that wasn't quite clear.

"Haven't figured it out yet?"

When he asked me this, I could only smile wryly and respond, "I can't figure this out unless I change my plan!"

He said, "Do you think there is a way to change this plan, or do you think there is another way out?"

I shook my head, "After thinking about it for a long time, I found that there was no way at all, unless Furukawa went crazy and jumped out to find death." ”

When I say such a thing, I feel very sarcastic in my heart, this kind of thing is stupid, and it is completely said and laughed.

He was serious, not joking, and asked, "Do you think this is possible?"

I was helpless in my heart, so I could only be right, and said: "How is it possible, Furukawa is such a shrewd person, how could he do such a stupid thing!"

He said, "In that case, what should we do?"

I said, "Execute the plan, the plan can only be executed!"

He said, "You can accept it now?"

I said, "It's not like I can't accept something that can be decided, at least to thwart Furukawa's plan, I have to interfere, don't I?"

He chuckled lightly and said, "Long Chen, you didn't need to be like this!"

I didn't quite understand and asked, "What do you mean?"

He said, "You should be a little more selfish!"

Instantly understood his words, I felt very unhappy in my heart, but I still forced a smile and said: "I am already very selfish, I never thought of sacrificing me, happy thousands of families!"

He laughed too, but he didn't know how much of the smile was real.

"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense to you, let's have a good rest!"

"Hmm!"

......
