Nightfall Chapter 129: Although you are not old, please return to your old age
Speaking of this, the most powerful man in the world raised his head, looked at the big brother on the table, and said slowly: "Dare to ask Mr. Da, if you were in my situation, what would you do? Make a choice."
The big brother did not remain silent, nor smile, but quietly looked at a tree in the winter garden, as if recalling his own story many years ago, and said: "If it were me, I would probably kill a few Kill a few people."
Listening to his answer, Xiahou laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, what a man, Mr. Da, there is a mountain behind him, who dares to be disrespectful to you in this world?"
Suddenly, he looked solemn and said with a cold voice: "But I am just a remnant of the demon sect who has been destroyed by the master, and I am just a dog in a panic family... It seems that the only choice is to change a house to be a dog. "
"But being a dog is also a very difficult thing."
Xiahou retracted his gaze, slowly tapped the table with his steady and powerful fingers, and said, "Because dogs have their owners, and my seemingly powerful dog that can bite people everywhere, but never knows his own Who is the owner."
"I am the guest of the Xiling Temple, and I am the general of the Great Tang Empire. I cannot sell the benefits of the empire to the temple, nor can I sell the temple to the empire. Then my dog can bring the temple and the empire What benefits?"
"I can only keep killing and conquering, laying down more and more territories for my Datang Empire, and destroying more and more enemies. Only in this way, the Emperor will not suspect me, and at the same time I must Secretly obey the orders of the temple and handle some things that are not convenient for them in the empire, so that they will continue to trust me."
"This and the days are really depressing. His Majesty has always refused to trust me completely. The temple is even more wary of me, and the children of Mingzong like Tang will kill me the first time they are born.
"I am a traitor. From the moment I leave the mountain gate, I am a traitor. From this side to the other side of the river to this side and then to the other side... This is not the capriciousness between light and darkness... …In fact, it is just a remnant of darkness, under the shining of the light, lingering breath, looking for a ray of life and hope."
"But sometimes I also think that death is not terrible. The terrible thing is the past that you carry on your back, the past that you don’t want to be known, those things that you carry for a long time will grow on you In your heart, you can't make it lighter, let alone pull it out of you."
"But the world is always heading towards the waves. His Majesty sent a college to the frontier for practical training. Obviously, he didn’t want to use me anymore. If a dog is useless, it may be slaughtered at any time. I am very difficult. Zhongyuan has lived for so many years before sitting in this position. I don’t want to be slaughtered."
"How can I not be slaughtered? Unless you are a dog, how can you not be a dog but the owner of the dog? You have to have power. Many people say that the general is the most powerful man in the world, but in fact you I know very well...this and power are not otherworldly, they are still in the world, so there is always a rope around my neck."
"So I want to get the book of heaven, because I want to have power beyond this world, I want to break the rope...From then on, I don't have to struggle repeatedly on both sides of the river, but can get true freedom.
Xiahou’s speech was very long. In the process of his speech, neither the big brother nor Ning Que interrupted, but listened quietly and silently, listening to the vague history, listening to the empire The resentment and unwillingness hidden in the general's calm narration listened to the secrets that not many people in the world knew.
The big brother looked at him and asked gently: "Why do you want to say this to us..."
Xiahou smiled, picked up the tea cup and drank the cold tea, sighed softly, "Naturally I don’t want to change something with these words, but these words have been hidden in my heart for too many years, and I have never had a chance to Others say that there are too few people in the world who are qualified to hear me say these things, and you are undoubtedly one of them, Mr. Da."
The big brother said with emotion: "Since it's useless to say, why bother to say more?"
Xiahou looked into his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Back then, I wanted to ask him to see the master and ask his old man to solve my pain and confusion. I thought to myself that the academy’s legend is a place where there is no kind of education, since it can appear. It’s not a big deal for someone like Mr. Ke to point me to the remnants of the Demon Sect, but it’s a pity that the Master refused to see me. He just asked His Majesty to pass me two words, and I still don’t know the meaning of those words until today.
The big brother asked: "Which two words?"
Xiahou responded: "Doing nothing."
The big brother was silent for a moment, then looked at him and laughed. There were complicated emotions in his gentle smile, some pity, some emotion, and some unconcealed regret.
"General Guan's actions today seem to really mean the unexplained Master."
"Please also Mr. Da's advice."
"Doing nothing is doing nothing. The general came to my Datang from the Li Mozong, and his thoughts and actions were all sharp and sharp, and he acted with violence and exploits with violent swaggers in order to be able to live in the river. Stand firmly in the middle so as not to cause trouble to the person behind you, but you never thought that if you did nothing from the beginning, it might be better."
The big brother spoke slowly, slowly raising his hand to stop Xiahou from speaking, and continued: "As for the story of Saint Murong Linshuang, the first emperor was very angry when he took over the teaching, and he was ready to fight Xiling Swordsman. See, but you are worried that the person will be exposed and kill Murong first to win the trust of Xiling. How can you blame the Empire for not helping you?...
"Everything is impermanent. If you do nothing right, maybe all the troubles after that will be gone. Unfortunately, you are too nervous about that person, and if you make a mistake, you will look at it wrong, to the point where it is irreparable today. "
Xiahou clenched his fists and said sharply: "But the Master didn't speak back then!"
The big brother looked slightly cold, looked at his face and said solemnly: "What qualifications do you have to let the teacher speak for you? How do you know if the temple does something, the teacher will not speak for you? Don't forget, If it weren’t for the teacher nodded, how could your sister be the empress of my Datang!"
There was a dead silence in the Winter Garden. All the subordinates in the General’s Mansion had already been sent away...No one could hear what the big brother said, but Ning Que, who understood the meaning of this sentence, was He lowered his head and stared at the tea cup in front of him motionless, only his right hand trembling slightly under the table revealed his true emotions.
The empress empress of the Datang Empire is actually Xiahou's sister! She is also from the Demon Sect!
In the depths of the winter garden, a thin branch seemed to be unable to withstand the atmosphere or the snow and frost hanging on the branch. It snapped and fell into the remaining snow. The senior brother slowly waved the tea. I pushed it farther, looked up at Xiahou calmly and said, "If you are finished, then I should say something you probably don't like to hear."
Xiahou squinted his eyes slightly... the finger that tapped the tabletop humblely stopped.
The master only asked: "Whose order is the horse thief on the grassland who dragged the attack on the coalition forces?"
Xiahou replied: "Me."
The senior brother asked: "Who transferred the over 1,000 horsemen Tang Cavalry by the Hulan Sea?"
Xiahou replied: "Me."
The senior brother asked: "Mian wanted to punch my junior brother to death in the mountain road."
Xiahou replied calmly: "It's still me."
The big brother was silent for a moment... and then looked at him and said: "In that case, go back to the old."
Is General Xiahou old?
Whether it is the hundreds of civil and military officials in Chang'an City, the Emperor's Graft...or the hundreds of millions of people in the world, or even the great priests of the Xiling Temple, they would not think so. This martial arts peak powerhouse is still in the most powerful stage of his life, and there is no sign of his spiritual will in the slightest. Many people think that when General Xu Shi is destined to leave the stage of history due to his old age and physical decline, he will be. The first player in the world.
But in the mansion of this incredible general...just in this quiet and cold bath, in the garden, the seemingly ordinary scholar in old jacket and broken shoes said without reason and without reason. He is old, then let him go old.
When this sentence was uttered from the big brother's mouth, countless layers of front-color winter clouds gathered and came to the sky above Tuyang City, layered over the winter garden...the sky was very dim, in the garden The trees are old.
Xiahou squinted at the big brother.
After answering a lot of the same questions, he only asked one sentence: "Mr. Da is going to interfere in the political affairs?"
People in the Datang Empire are qualified to know the back mountain of the academy knows that the academy is strictly prohibited from interfering in government affairs. This is an iron law set by the master for himself and all his disciples in the back mountain... If there is no such iron law, I am afraid that it is Those gentlemen in the academy or the emperor in the palace would not know who is the master of the empire.
Although there are many mundane ants in the world who have never heard of the Master's name... But as long as the Master said, no one in the world dares to disobey... To be more precise, those royal ministers who know who the Master is Taoist A monk, never dared to disobey the master's will. Taoshan, where the Xiling Temple is located, was bald from day to day, which was the strongest guarantee for this and will. Fortunately, the Master often traveled around the world, and he didn't seem to like to talk nonsense.
The master said that the academy cannot interfere in the imperial government, so the academy that has trained countless courtiers and is most qualified to interfere in the imperial government has never interfered in the imperial government, and those in the back mountains are no exception.
The big brother today wants Xiahou, the great general of the empire, to return to his old age. Is that considered as an interference in the government?
As a general of the Tang Dynasty, facing the pressure of the academy, he can respond calmly. Xiahou is worthy of being the pinnacle of the world. He has the confidence and strength that the world can't match. This strength is awe-inspiring.
However, the big brother destroyed all the power of Xiahou in just one sentence.
"The master did not allow the college to interfere in the affairs of the government because he always thought that the affairs of the government and customs were the last things, and practitioners should stay away as much as possible. The empire was turbulent or even destroyed, and I was afraid that he would not be able to blink his eyes. As a guest of the temple, you should be very clear about the master’s visit to Peach Hill back then, so you should understand what is the big thing in the master’s eyes. It’s a trivial matter to organize a group of horse thieves on the wasteland without the imperial court and the temple. , You are the remnant of the Demon Sect is also a trivial matter. Anything you have done over the years is a trivial matter in the eyes of the master, but if you want to kill my junior academy, this is a major matter."
For the strong in the world, calmness is the temperament that they must have in every event.
However, in the face of the great things in the Master’s heart, even if Qiang Ruo Xiahou must be silent, he must think carefully. His time for thinking is very short, and the blood in the lamp is not completely cold. He looks towards the winter that has been with him for many years. garden.
"Since you are old, let's go to the old."
