Chapter 577: The Tiger Falls in Pingyang (a large amount of private goods, please enter with caution)
Regarding the story of the Mohist giant, the Six-fingered Black Man, in the end it only raises one question - how should the Qin State's behavior of bullying the weak and invading other countries be defined?
"The weak eat the strong, the nature of all things, the law of nature."
"Justice will prevail, because the victor is justice!"
Wait a minute, the Internet has allowed these words to spread wildly, and many people believe them without knowing what they are saying, and regard them as "the cruel truth of the world."
Many people laugh at the weak who are exploited and bullied, and laugh at the honest, stupid and kind-hearted;
And they offer their knees to the exploiters and oppressors, envying them for their self-interest, wisdom, and stepping on others' heads. These are the winners under the law of the jungle.
Wake up, the reason why most people are now being "cut off with leeks" instead of being directly "cut off their heads" is because there are always fools in human society who are lighting the way forward, and there are always fools who believe in truth, goodness and beauty, and at least there is anti-monopoly.
,anti-exploitation.
Once these fools are gone, a real world of law of the jungle will emerge. People who believe in "elimination of the jungle" will not even be as good as chemical fertilizers.
The law of the jungle is a gene inherited from nature, and it exists objectively. However, every step in the process of human civilization adds a layer of seal to it.
Justice will win, because justice will win. Human society has no illusions about exploding stars with one punch. The path of justice is the path that is in line with the interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, and it will definitely win.
Qin's opponents are other countries. Qin can gather the strength of its people, but other countries cannot.
The opponent of the Qin Dynasty is himself. Can he guarantee the interests of the greatest number of people under the rule of this new empire?
The Qin Dynasty collapsed in just three years after Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted. Liu Bang entered the Pass and made three chapters, and the old Qin people happily followed it.
A war of aggression is a war of aggression. The historical significance of opening up a unified Chinese dynasty for future generations will not change the nature of contemporary aggressive wars.
Qin won this war, but the Qin Dynasty ultimately lost.
Those who resisted Qin in the war deserve to be called "heroes". Instead of being arrogantly shouted two thousand years later, "The remnants of the Six Kingdoms will be punished by me."
Gao Jianli told Chen Ping the story of the Six-fingered Black Man. At the end of the story, he really couldn't go on.
"The Battle of Puyang~" Chen Ping said this word. His family moved to Qin after the Battle of Puyang.
It turns out that the Imperial Master also planned to harm many people. In Wei and South Korea, more than 300,000 people died in one fell swoop... Why is this?
He couldn't figure this question out right now, and he soon gave up thinking about it. He directly raised the package in his hand and shouted to Li Mu who was returning home: "Grandpa Mu, here is your letter~"
"My letter?" Li Mu looked over doubtfully, then glanced at Chen Ping and then at Gao Jianli.
Chen Ping handed the letter to him and pointed at Gao Jianli and introduced: "Oh, he wants to find a place to stay. Grandpa Mu, is it okay at your house? If not, let him stay at my house."
Li Mu's eyes narrowed for a moment.
Gao Jianli's hair suddenly stood up.
What a terrifying aura. Who is this old gentleman...
Seeing Gao Jianli's reaction, Li Mu nodded slightly, and the next moment he turned into the old man next door again.
This young man is neither humble nor arrogant, and his eyes are clear. Such people are rare in the world.
"Old man, I don't like outsiders. Boy Chen Ping, please take him to your home."
"Yes~" Chen Ping was very happy to receive Li Mu's confirmation. He should be able to ask Gao Jianli to talk about what he saw outside in the evening.
Gao Jianli, impressed by Li Mu's power, followed Chen Ping home without saying much.
Li Mu opened the letter and saw that it was indeed written by Zhao Jin. He chuckled and said, "This is how Lu Yan governed Zhao. It seems that within a few years, the people of Zhao will be able to live a good life."
…
Late at night, Gao Jianli looked at Chen Ping who was sleeping soundly and helplessly covered him with a quilt.
This kid is very knowledgeable and can draw inferences from one instance to another. He is obviously extremely smart. I don't know why he smiled so stupidly during the day.
That Mr. Mu has unfathomable strength, who is he?
He took two deep breaths, and just as he was about to sleep, he felt his ears hear something.
"Chase!"
"Whoosh~"
One, two...four people.
Four are chasing one.
Gao Jianli quietly took out the thin sword hidden in the piano and leaned against the wall to continue listening to the sounds outside.
They are running away.
He hesitated for a moment and decided to mind his own business.
It was very dark tonight, and the four pursuers were all dressed in black, hiding in the darkness.
The clothes of the person running in front were in tatters, but the material was still extraordinary.
The five people ran far away from the village. Suddenly one of the runners couldn't hold on anymore and fell into the farmland, covered in mud.
"Ahem, you hyenas have such a great sense of smell that you can actually chase them here..." He struggled to get up, gasping for air.
The four of them each held shining swords and slowly surrounded him in the center.
"Hmph, you think you can get rid of us by running into Hangu Pass? Ji Ying, your head is worth five thousand gold!"
The man being hunted was Ji Ying, the commander of the Shadow Tiger Legion and the leader of the Ji clan of the Chu Kingdom.
Since their defeat in the civil war, Ji's family has been slaughtered to pieces, but Ji Ying himself has been on the run. The King of Chu offered a reward of five thousand gold.
Ji Ying drew out his sword and roared with a ferocious smile: "If you want money, give your life in exchange!"
"If you keep talking even when death is imminent, let's go!"
With four people and four swords in four directions, Ji Ying's body was already exhausted. He was no match for him in the melee. He suffered multiple sword wounds all over his body after just a few blows and was bleeding.
"Ahem~" Ji Ying felt that his vision turned red and his consciousness became blurred.
Jibu, you have to live well...
"Humph, go to hell!"
"Ding~"
Gao Jianli arrived in time, raised his thin sword, and knocked away the assassin's sword, "This is the State of Qin, how dare you charlatan killers be so arrogant?"
"Where did the idiots come from? Kill them together!"
"Kill~"
The killers who were able to pursue Hangu Pass from Chu State were not weak at all. Gao Jianli passed through two of the swords with his sword, disrupting their trajectory, but he did not prevent himself from being attacked in the back.
"Hmm~" With a muffled grunt, he dodged a fatal sword strike on his chest and was scratched on one arm by the blade.
Three people attacked Gao Jianli, but the other one went straight to kill Ji Ying.
The killer glanced at Ji Ying and licked his lips at Gao Jianli, "He jumped out to be a hero, but he turned out to be just a loser. Brothers, let's kill him together."
"Whoosh~" Meteors flew and an arrow shot through the air.
The killer who tried to kill Ji Ying drilled out a wooden arrowhead from his neck and fell straight down.
"who?!"
The remaining three killers immediately jumped out in horror, and the three of them stood back to back.
"Who is it, come out!"
"Don't be a fool!"
"Whoosh~"
"What-"
"ah-"
Two more arrows, no matter how you listen to the wind to identify the position, or how to sense the moment of life and death, it is all in vain with this kind of archery skills, you can only wait for death.
Gao Jianli saw the killer lying on the ground with his eyes open, and the arrow coming out of his throat turned out to be a thin rod sharpened by hand.
Such terrifying shooting skills!
"I'm out, what about you?"
This voice is! That old gentleman!
Li Mu walked out slowly, holding a hunting bow he made himself. His gray hair looked a little bright even without the moonlight.
"You!" Before the killer could make another move, Li Mu nailed him to the ground with another arrow.
"Old sir, Gao Jianli thanks you so much for saving your life."
Li Mu ignored him and walked directly to Ji Ying, only to find that the person was already on his deathbed.
"I, child, live..."
Gao Jianli listened to Ji Ying's final words and then realized: No wonder he led the killer here when he could survive by making noises in villages and towns. He wanted to die so that his children could live.
"Old sir, this man has a child. He must have hidden the child somewhere. He is willing to give his head to these killers."
Li Mu picked up the long sword that fell on the ground and looked at the texture on it, the tiger head-shaped sword grid, the texture of flowers and grass, "Shadow Tiger among the Flowers, Shadow Tiger Sword. The sword of the leader of the Shadow Tiger Army of Chu State."
A famous general finally died like this.
Li Mu sighed regretfully for him, and then said to Gao Jianli: "Go find that child."
Gao Jianli subconsciously responded: "Yes."
Soon, they found the unconscious child in a haystack, holding a piece of cloth with Chu characters written in blood.
