Master Nian Duan went to the Imperial Master's Mansion for a banquet, but Duan Murong did not go.
She packed up everything in the hospital and prepared some common medicines, and then sat by the window in a daze.
The hospital has not seen anyone for several days. She should make a normal visit tomorrow. Now she should eat early, rest, and recover from the busy and tired body of the past few days, but she can't do it.
The moonlight that stole in through the window gently touched the strange sword in front of her. The hilt and the sword body were integrated, as if they were wrapped in dead tree bark.
Even if the moonlight shines brightly, this sword does not show any bright appearance, and is even a bit ugly, which is far from the so-called famous sword.
It is such an ugly sword, and people all over the world say that it will shine with peerless sword light in the hands of a talented person.
Duan Murong had seen Lu Yan holding a green sword. The three-foot-long sword was so long that it reached the sky. The green leaves were everywhere and the dawn was shining. He was the most elegant swordsman she had ever seen in her life.
Maybe he shouldn't be called a swordsman.
Master has said that swordsmen are born with swords, they cannot live without swords, and swords are their lives.
Lu Yan should not be a swordsman. No swordsman would hand his sword to someone else and then say, "You can kill me with this sword in three years."
Obviously, the three-year standard represents something that far exceeds the meaning of the sword in his heart.
At that time, he promised that within three years he would prove that he was trying to bring a better life to the people and was definitely not a butcher who killed people indiscriminately.
And today he committed another murder. Hundreds of members of Zhao Ling's family were beheaded together with their children. Thousands of people were convicted and exiled to the border. They will never be free in this life.
He was still so ruthless, a child whose height was as long as a sword. His fragile head was chopped off by a machete. The blood that splattered was so fresh, but there was no trace of compassion on his face.
Duan Murong felt that she had changed. This time, she did not talk back to Lu Yan or say a word for those poor children. She just said silently, with her pitiful compassion amidst the shouts and shouts of the people.
I came back with a lonely heart.
The most painful thing for a person is that he is burdened with a future responsibility.
This was said by Liang Qichao. In Liang Qichao's time, all responsible intellectuals were caught between the flames of Eastern and Western civilizations, and it was bound to be extremely painful.
Similarly, Duanmurong's benevolence as a doctor made her extremely repulsive to this kind of criminal law that ends punishment with punishment and involves relatives.
But the subtle change in her behavior made her realize that she had finally admitted the sad fact that heavy codes were used in troubled times.
This recognition of the cruel reality conflicts with the perseverance of human kindness, making her inner confusion and pain even more.
When Nian Duan came back, she saw Duan Murong still sitting there calmly. She was not wearing a headscarf, and a few strands of black hair were hanging down, covering her eyes.
"Rong'er? Rong'er!"
Nian Duan sat down opposite his disciple and shouted several times, and Duan Murong suddenly woke up.
"Master! You are back." She lifted up her hair that was blocking her eyes, showed a forced smile, and sniffed lightly, "Master, have you been drinking?"
"Yes, after solving the big case of Pingyuan Lord Zhao Ling, Lu Yan invited a banquet, so he wouldn't even have wine. I asked you to go, but you didn't go."
"I……"
I don't know how to face him. He is willing to farm with the people, but he is also willing to kill young children. He clearly has the unparalleled romance in the world, but sometimes the ruthlessness he reveals is more piercing than Shuofeng.
In Duan Murong's eyes, Lu Yan was a person who should not be approached.
She remembered her master's teachings before and asked: "Master, you have said many times that you should stay away from those who use swords, and it is best never to interact with them. Then why do you treat Lu Yan..."
Nian Duan thought of his past when he was young and how he saw Lu Yan and Nong Yu getting along with each other in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. He sighed as if he had vomited out half his life, "There are many people in this world, and they use swords just to pursue pursuits."
Powerful. In order to be strong enough to stand at the top of all living beings, they can abandon everything. There will always be only misfortune in the lives of these people.
The sword is the most dangerous thing in the world, and the swordsman who holds the sword is bound to be injured by the sword. Lu Yan can put down his sword at any time. He is not a swordsman, or in other words, he is beyond a swordsman."
"Beyond it, swordsman..." Duan Murong didn't have a deep understanding of swords. After listening to her master's words, she just felt confused. It probably sounded like he was praising Lu Yan's realm.
She shook her head, bit her lip and asked softly: "Master, have you ever had a swordsman friend?"
Nian Duan's expression changed, he closed his eyes slightly, took a few deep breaths through his nose, and slowly said, "There is such a person, the Six-fingered Black Man, and the sword he uses is Black Eyebrows without Edge."
"The Mohist giant, the six-fingered black man..." Duan Murong nodded clearly and did not ask any more questions. She knew that the swordsman for whom the master had formulated the "three no-rescues" must not be the six-fingered black man.
This pair of masters and apprentices, who had a complex relationship, deep feelings and awkward feelings, looked at each other in silence on this ordinary night. Qing Ganjian lay quietly between them, as if they were also listening.
…
Another day the sun rose, and early in the morning Feng Jie had already led troops to guard Ha County, and the people in Gaoyi set out to go home.
This move has been praised by countless people in Handan City. As the news spreads to the world, the reputation and credibility of the Qin government will reach a higher level.
Counting from the time Lu Yan followed Ying Zheng to help Zhao Ji's coffin return to Handan, the spring plowing has been basically completed, and half a year has passed unknowingly.
In the past few months, Lu Yan ruled Zhao and killed countless people with his butcher knife. Until the case of Pingyuan Jun Zhao Ling came to an end, hundreds more people were beheaded and thousands of people were exiled. The Zhao land finally calmed down.
Lu Yan can finally lead the people of Zhao to farm honestly and resume production with peace of mind. I believe that after this most difficult first year is over, the days to come will be much easier.
Everything in Zhao land is basically on track, and various places in Qin have resumed agricultural production with great vigor, preparing to enter the third stage of the strategy of unifying the world formulated by Lu Yan.
Qin's situation was good, but the remaining three kingdoms were not so good.
Yan State and Chu State have respectively established their basic stances against Qin. The two kings of Yan Dan and Fu Chu exchanged letters frequently, and at the same time they continued to write letters to try to persuade King Qi to build the Qin Dynasty.
Wang Jian of Qi obviously felt a slight threat from Ying Zheng's proclaimed emperor, and his attitude was no longer firmly on the side of Qin. The civil and military ministers in the court were also divided into the anti-Qin faction and the peaceful Qin faction.
Among them, the prince Tian Sheng was the most active anti-Qin faction, the third prince Tian Zhen was against the Qin faction, and the second prince Tian Huan was neutral.
In today's diplomatic politics, it is often more effective to deal with the ministers of other countries than to deal with the king.
The two countries of Yan and Chu jointly provided support to the anti-Qin faction in Qi's court, hoping that in this way Qi would join and form the Three Kingdoms Alliance.
Under such circumstances, there will naturally be no peace in the Qi State's court. And among the Three Kingdoms, there is a huge gap between them.
The Yan State has already said before, and the Chu State has triggered a big fight because of the new peasant hero leader.
