Liehu's expression suddenly became solemn when he saw Mingzhu, and he couldn't help but become serious:
"What do you want to ask?"
Mingzhu looked at Hunting Fox, her eyes extremely bright:
"Brother Fox Hunting, when you and Sister Wangyou were talking about what happened in the dungeon last night, you seemed to have deliberately ignored one thing."
Liehu was stunned for a moment. He recalled it and didn't feel that he had overlooked anything, so he asked:
"Which thing are you referring to?"
"It's the guards in the dungeon. What happened to them in the end?"
Liehu was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what Mingzhu meant. He didn't think this was a question at first and wanted to answer her directly. But somehow, when his eyes and Mingzhu's eyes came together, he
I couldn't help but hesitate. The originally simple answer, under the gaze of Mingzhu's bright eyes, became so heavy that it was difficult to speak.
Mingzhu spoke again, in a low voice:
"They were all killed, right?"
Seeing that Mingzhu had already thought of the answer, Liehu simply stopped hiding it and said frankly:
"Yes, they have indeed been killed, because if they are alive, they will threaten me, Wangyounu, you, and even Li Zi, Li Longji's life. I didn't mean to hide it from you, it's just..."
"It's just that you and Sister Wangyou think this is a natural thing, and there is no need to mention it separately." Mingzhu interrupted Xie Hu and said for him.
Liehu was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice:
"Mingzhu, I can see that you are actually very kind-hearted in nature, so you are not used to killing so indiscriminately."
Mingzhu shook her head gently:
"This has nothing to do with kindness. They are indeed innocent. All lives are precious and equal. Even prisoners of war cannot be killed innocently." Unknowingly, Mingzhu explained the outlook on life she accepted in modern times.
came out.
Last night, she stayed up almost all night. On the one hand, she was worried about the Forgetful Girl, and on the other hand, she was thinking about the final fate of the dungeon guards. Faintly, she had already felt that it would be difficult for those guards to survive. This was not often the case in TV dramas.
Is there such a plot, where everyone is killed at every turn, leaving no one alive, and eradicating the roots! In the past, Mingzhu didn't think anything when seeing these plots. But this time it was different. This time, she experienced it personally, and
, she herself belongs to the side of the killer, so she cannot psychologically accept such a thing. Although the ones who killed her were Fox Hunter and Wangyounu, Mingzhu always felt that her hands were stained with blood.
Seeing Mingzhu's face slowly turning pale, Liehu couldn't bear it, because he was young and had experienced the contradiction and fear when he killed someone for the first time, so he could understand Mingzhu's feelings at this time.
Fox took a step forward, put a hand on Mingzhu's shoulder, and comforted him in a deep voice:
"Mingzhu, I am older than you and have experienced more things in this world than you. Therefore, you must listen to me now. If you really want to get the colorful feathers alive and really want to save your mother, your
You must harden your heart. You are basically surviving among the knives now. If you don't kill someone, someone will kill you! Therefore, when the enemy rushes in front of you brandishing a knife, you must not be soft-hearted and strike first.
Be strong, so that you can ensure your survival."
"Brother Fox Hunter, I understand what you are saying, but are those guards innocent?"
Liehu sighed softly, seemingly helpless at Mingzhu's persistence:
"Mingzhu, you think they are innocent, but in this matter, aren't you also innocent? Even Wangyounu and I are innocent? So don't let yourself fall into this kind of thinking.
, this is a mess. There is no right or wrong here, only their own purposes. No matter what purpose they choose to be loyal to Wu Sansi, they are our enemies. No matter what purpose we have, we want to overthrow
Emperor Zhongzong, we are the emperor’s enemies, it’s that simple, there are only success and failure, life and death, do you remember?”
Later, Xie Hu's voice became a little more intense, as if he was trying to force these ideas into Mingzhu's head:
"Mingzhu, you must engrav what I said to you today deeply in your heart, then raise the knife in your hand and kill all those who may threaten you. If
If you always have this kind of compassion, you are too dangerous." Liehu increased his tone.
Mingzhu reluctantly nodded:
"Don't worry, brother, I remember."
Hunting Fox sighed again:
"Mingzhu, maybe you think this is too cruel, but you have no choice, you know? Just now when you are defending those enemies, Wu Sansi in prison must have thought of tens of thousands of ways to kill us
Put him to death. Also," Liehu suddenly paused, because he originally wanted to tell the news he overheard from Li Longji, but then he thought about it, after all, this is related to the girl's emotions, so he said it so rashly
It was always embarrassing to come out, so after thinking about it, he decided that it would be better for Wangyounu to talk to Mingzhu after she got better. So, he paused and changed his words:
"There are still many invisible enemies who are trying to frame you. We are now involved in the struggle for imperial power. It can be said that this is the most cruel struggle in the world. The winner is a prince and the loser is a thief. Therefore, you must also
Learn to be cruel!"
Just like that, Mingzhu left home in a daze, filled with "cruelty", and returned to the princess's residence in a hired sedan.
She had just arrived at the door of the princess's mansion when she saw Princess Anle's sedan coming out of the palace. Mingzhu rushed to greet her. Anle had also seen Mingzhu through the sedan curtain. She quickly ordered people to stop, then raised the sedan curtain and faced
Zhu Mingzhu asked:
"Why are you back? I was about to go to the palace to ask my mother to intercede for you."
Mingzhu first bowed to Anle, then pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile:
"Thanks to the princess's concern, Master Wu checked and found that it was a mistake. I was not the prisoner he wanted to arrest, so he let me go. I was afraid that the princess would be worried, so as soon as Master Wu said that I was fine, I
Come back quickly to report to the princess."
Anle couldn't help but beam with joy after hearing Mingzhu's words:
"Let me tell you, how could one of my men be a prisoner? Mr. Wu is really messing around. When I see my mother later, I will definitely report him properly."
Mingzhu smiled and said:
"Princess, there is no need to be angry. Master Wu is also doing this for state affairs. Anyway, I have proven my innocence, so this matter is over. As long as I can stay in the princess's mansion smoothly and serve the princess well, that is the most important thing."
of."
Mingzhu's words made Anle feel extremely warm:
"There are so many slaves in my house, and none of them can speak as well as you. Every word you say makes people feel so comfortable. Okay, I have to go to the palace. You can go back and rest first. It looks like
I tortured you all night yesterday."
"Yes." Mingzhu bent down and saluted. After watching Anle leave, she turned around and entered the house.
Mingzhu walked through the princess's house, and all the servants who met her met her, and those who were familiar with her would take the initiative to salute and say hello.
In fact, after Mingzhu moved into the princess mansion, she had become accustomed to such scenes, but today, facing these people, a strange feeling arose in her heart. Because what Liehu said to her has always been
It was lingering in her mind, so she couldn't help but think that one day in the future, if necessary, she would also kill these people who saluted her! And the reason was just because they were Anle
servant!
‘Learn to be cruel!’ Hunting Fox’s voice was cold and heavy.
Yes, you must learn to be cruel, because it is not only to keep yourself alive, but also to keep your companions alive.
But is it okay to kill innocent people indiscriminately just to survive?
These two thoughts conflicted repeatedly in Mingzhu's mind. Mingzhu felt that her brain was about to explode. She felt that she urgently needed to see Yan now, because she had been used to it for many years.
When faced with a difficult problem, go and ask Homura to tell her the answer.
'Yan, I know that when you were in modern times, you would never be merciful in your killing decisions, but you told me that no matter what, you would never kill innocent people indiscriminately. Everyone you killed was
He is a very evil person, but now, I am about to become a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately. Can you understand me?'
In front of her was her residence. For some reason, Mingzhu's heart suddenly jumped a few times because she suddenly remembered that in modern times, Yan and she seemed to have telepathy. Whenever she was particularly irritable, she would push him away.
When she opened the door of the dormitory, she would see Yan waiting for her in the dormitory. Mingzhu's eyes suddenly became a little wet, because she remembered that Yan would never appear in the house in front of her anyway.
Mingzhu suppressed the loneliness in her heart and pushed open the door. When she looked into the room, she saw a tall figure standing upright with his back to the door.
Mingzhu's heart beat wildly and she blurted out:
"flame!"
The figure seemed to be shaken and slowly turned around. At this time, Mingzhu had also regained her composure, so she could also see that the person in front of her was not Yan, but Li Longji!
Li Longji turned around and faced Mingzhu directly, with a strange expression on his face, and asked in an overly elegant manner:
"Did I scare you just now?"
Mingzhu composed herself and replied:
"No. Why are you here?"
"I'm still worried about you. I knew you were back, so I came to see you." Li Longji suddenly changed the topic, "The name you just shouted was a person's name, right?"
Mingzhu didn't want to talk more and said perfunctorily:
