Xu Chen was silent for the third time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He turned to look at the straight poplars in the garden, looked at the stones that were piled up randomly, and had to admit that the opinion of the first person in the imperial military was correct and sharp, and he could not refute it at all.

He knew very well what the purpose of General Xu's conversation with himself was, so he was unwilling to be persuaded like this, he frowned slightly, and said, "But General, you and General Ximenwang are also cultivators. ”

At this point in the conversation, it goes back to the beginning.

"Martial arts practice is difficult and clumsy, without decades of hard work, there is no effect at all, the vast majority of people practice to some brute strength, some muscles will give up halfway, become the sword master Nian Shi's attendants, so for the cultivation sect, martial arts practice is almost like chicken ribs. ”

The general said: "Only in the military can martial arts cultivators have the opportunity to grow up through bloody battles, and if they want to cultivate to the peak, they don't know how many people they have to kill and how many times they will be injured. ”

Xu Chen asked, "What does this have to do with what the general is going to say?"

"What I want to say is that martial arts practitioners are all in the army, as I told you at the beginning, whether in the eyes of the world or in their own eyes, they are first and foremost strictly disciplined soldiers, and then they are so-called cultivators, they don't hold umbrellas in summer, they don't wear clothes in winter, and they have fewer selfish desires. ”

"I see. ”

Xu Chen looked at the remaining juice of the boiled vegetables on the plate and said, "But I don't understand what the general is trying to tell me when he says these things to me. ”

The general looked at him expressionlessly and said: "What I want to tell you is that you are very weak, even if your realm is improved quickly, but in my eyes, in front of my Chaoyang military, you are still very weak, I give an order, the heavy armor Xuanqi can directly rush you to death, you only have a jade sword, like that knife, how many can you wield? So you don't be arrogant, you have to know how to fear the law." ”

Xu Chen raised his head, looked at the general's old cheeks, and said, "I have always obeyed the law. ”

The general said indifferently: "I said, I have checked all your files and materials, since they are all, naturally not limited to the wasteland, there are also things that happened in the capital. ”

"I said, don't pretend in front of me. ”

The general's voice was slightly cold and said: "It's okay to kill the horse thief and chop wood, because the law does not protect the people outside the country, but how do you explain the matter of Liu Xia?"

"No matter how you hide it in front of Lu Yin and Your Majesty, no matter what image you have in the eyes of the world now, no matter how ridiculous you are after you come to the capital, you can't change that fact, you are a shameless villain who is ruthless, greedy, and easy to kill. ”

Xu Chen lowered his head again and was silent.

He didn't expect that once the Chaoyang military was investigating someone with all its might, they would be able to find out such a long time ago, and at this time he felt that his clothes suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if he was naked.

The feeling was not one of shame or guilt, but of wariness because he never considered himself a good person, nor did he want to be a good one.

In order to be able to live, he can do anything, killing people and setting fires is just idle, the evil deeds at that time exposed by the general are just a very inconspicuous fragment of those bloody years in the past, how can a person like him be a good person.

Xu looked at him and said with disgust: "Xu Chen, you can't make a stroke." ”

There was a dead silence in the stage.

Xu Chen suddenly raised his head, looked at General Xu across the desk, and asked with a smile: "General, is there really a person in the world who is as clean and innocent as snow?"

The general looked at him and said with a slight mockery: "You want to comfort your own uncleanness with the filth of others?"

Xu Chen shook his head and said, "The general said earlier that it is not easy for martial arts cultivators to be miserable, and that the suffering of Chaoyang soldiers is actually a bit boring in my opinion, because you have not experienced my life, and you don't know what I have suffered, so naturally you can't understand my choice back then. ”

He looked at the general and smiled and said: "In the reckless deep mountains and forests, you were caught by a hunter, I don't know why, maybe it was just because you stole a rabbit from his lasso ten days ago, or because the hunter was originally a damn rabbit, or maybe because that hunter was a relative of the old damn hunter before, in short, he wanted to kill you, what would you do?"

The general frowned slightly.

Without waiting for the general to speak, Xu Chen continued to smile and said: "Don't forget, you were less than ten years old at that time, you were tired and weak because of malnutrition, and you were still injured, and you had no weapons by your side, just the fire hidden in your crotch, and then you happened to be locked in the firewood room." ”

"I don't know what you're going to do, General. ”

"But I'm sure I'll set fire to the thatch and dry wood in the firewood house. ”

"I don't care if he dies or there's a baby in the room, even if there's an old man in his room who is more than a hundred years old and paralyzed, I'll light that fire. ”

The smile on Xu Chen's face was very gentle, and the expression in his eyes was very calm.

Xu's eyes narrowed.

He has fought all his life, he has seen blood flowing and pestles, thousands of corpses filling the river, and I don't know how many cruel and terrifying pictures he has seen, but at this time, the gentle smile and calm expression on Xu Chen's face seem to be more thrilling than those pictures in the past.

In an instant, his evaluation of Xu Chen was a little higher, and he was more vigilant about the danger of this son, and the sympathy and pity that had occasionally flashed before disappeared without a trace.

Xu Chen continued: "Of course, there are all stories that have nothing to do with me, I have also heard them, I am just curious, in that case, how will you choose, general? I also want to continue to ask the previous question, is there really a person in the world who is as white as a lotus? General, have you ever killed a prisoner on the battlefield? Has it violated the law by killing a prisoner? General, when your subordinates rode through the fortress, did they kill the barbarian women and children on the grassland? If so, can it be regarded as a violation of the law?"

Then he looked at the general's old face and asked: "As an important minister of the imperial military, the general should stand on my rising sun, but when the strong of the enemy country enter the country, instead of being vigilant, you will reveal my whereabouts to the other party, I want to ask, even if this is not against the law, it is against your conscience?"

asked for advice even after another, as if a heavy punch kept smashing into the old general's heart. However, Xu Xu Xu people, how could Xu Chen's heart be shaken by a few words, he smiled slightly angrily and said: "Since you want to represent Feiyun Dao, you have to accept the challenge of the strong people in the world, why don't you want those people to know your whereabouts? Could it be that you are afraid, you have no confidence, and you are afraid of embarrassing Chaoyang and Lu Yin?"

Without waiting for Xu Chen to speak, the general's smile suddenly narrowed, looked at him and said indifferently: "Even if you were ruthless when you were young, what about since Yong'an came to the capital?"

After coming to the capital, Xu Chen's eyebrows slowly raised.

Suddenly the wind rose in the garden, it was slightly cold, the sky was dark, and it seemed that it was going to rain.

Xu Chen's expression on his face remained unchanged, but his body became stiff, if his previous questioning of the general was just a little trick to scratch his boots, then the three sentences that the general asked in a row at this time Where are you, it is a really sharp cold knife, which can cut through the wind and rain and cut off people's heads.

He finally understood why Xu would be so wary of himself, and even secretly investigated and suppressed, confirming that from Lin Ling, until now, the first person in the Chaoyang military, many people have noticed those murders, and even smelled the smell behind those murders.

In the general's mansion today, the general had this conversation with himself.

It's the general.

The general stared at his eyes, his words contained endless coercion, and said slowly: "Don't think that you are really powerful, don't think that you can really hide from everyone in the world, don't think that you can erase the past by becoming Lu Yin's personal disciple, I said that I know everything about you, then everything is everything, and nothing will be missing." ”

No one is missing, no one is missing.

This is the courage of the first person in the Chaoyang military.

Xu Chen heard the general say something like this for the third time today, and he fell silent for the first time.

There was also silence in the terrace, the poplars in the garden trembled slightly by the wind before the rain, and the leaves of the trees that were supposed to live further north whistled and seemed to fall to the ground at any moment.

I don't know how long it has been.

The general said: "Lu Yin once said, the law is first, this is not only the academy, but also the highest creed of my entire Chaoyang Empire, I will investigate the past matters, and if I let me know in the future that you have violated the law, interfered in the government and even plotted wrongdoing, I will use the law to punish your crimes." ”

Xu Chen suddenly stretched out his hand and folded the bowls and plates in front of him.

Then he stood up, looked at the general and said, "The law is the first evidence, if the general can get the evidence of these murders, I will wait for the general in the capital." ”

After saying this, he saluted the general and left.

Walking out of the General's Mansion, not far away is the familiar avenue, Xu Chen walked on the smooth bluestone paved avenue, his expression was calm, and his mood was also very calm.

In the end, he was still guessed to be connected to those murders, which made him nervous, but he was not shocked by the conversation in the general's mansion.

Even if he allowed to sweep the world on behalf of the entire Chaoyang military, without evidence, he would not be able to accuse Xu Chen at all, let alone cause him any harm.

Because he is not an ordinary person in Yong'an now, nor is he a foreigner who has just arrived in the capital.

If you want to move him now, you must first convince Your Majesty.

His Majesty the Emperor's attitude, Xu Chen couldn't guess, but he knew very well that Lu Yin would never care how many people his students killed, because Lu Yin didn't care about the affairs of the world.

However, some parts of the conversation in the general's mansion did have some emotional impact on him.
