Cheng Dalei's eyes were wider than they were today, and his mouth was wide open, wanting to swallow Lin Shaoyu.
After a long time, he calmed down, smiled and waved.
"Stop talking nonsense."
"Master, let me tell you the truth. This Righteous Sect respects you. There are now hundreds of thousands of followers. As long as you give an order, they will obey you." Lin Shaoyu.
"shut up!"
Cheng Dalei shouted loudly and finally showed the courage to kill thousands of people. He stared at Lin Shaoyu closely with his tiger eyes and slowly relaxed.
"Qin Man, military advisor, please step aside for a moment. I want to talk to Shao Yu alone about something."
Qin Man and Xu Shenji didn't know what happened, so they left in a daze. Cheng Dalei, Lin Shaoyu, and Lin Chong were the only three people left in the room.
Cheng Dalei calmed down at this moment and asked: "Tell me carefully, what is it specifically?"
Lin Shaoyu was startled, then raised his head and said, "My father was killed by Emperor Ming. As a human son, I have to avenge my father's murder."
Cheng Dalei nodded: "I can understand, continue?"
"But Emperor Ming is in the palace and protected by the Fish Dragon Guards. Even if I am the best in the world, I cannot kill him."
"And you want more people?"
Lin Shaoyu nodded: "After years of war, even as rich as Jiangnan, it can't stop the government from exploiting it at all levels. Many people live a life worse than death. As long as you give them a hope, they will be willing to follow you."
"This is understandable." Cheng Dalei asked again: "What next?"
"Then the Righteous Sect came into existence. It preached in Yangzhou and within half a year, it had more than 100,000 followers. We fought several battles with the imperial court and we won them all."
"You've made a difference." Cheng Dalei nodded slightly, but there was no praise in his tone.
"Thanks to the great teacher for teaching me well..."
"I..." Cheng Dalei was speechless.
Lin Shaoyu nodded heavily: "I have been with the boss for the longest time, and I have learned a lot. I will also try to think more when I do things."
Cheng Dalei looked at Lin Shaoyu speechlessly. Time has passed. He is not the same person when he first came here, and Lin Shaoyu is not the stupid young man he was back then. Now Gao Feibao is a top bandit, not to mention Lin Shaoyu. But Cheng Dalei never thought that he would become
Lin Shaoyu's teacher. Is he a good teacher? Cheng Dalei doesn't think so, but in Lin Shaoyu's eyes, it is obvious that he is.
Being able to raise an army of troops within half a year, even though they were defeated in the end, shows Lin Shaoyu's ability.
Cheng Dalei suddenly paused, this was wrong, Lin Shaoyu couldn't do it on his own.
"Is there anyone else who can help you?"
Lin Shaoyu avoided Cheng Dalei's gaze.
"You still want to hide it from me? I know your abilities. Even if you are great now, you will never reach this level again?"
"There is indeed one person..." Lin Shaoyu said: "I met Guo Fanren, Master, do you still remember him?"
Of course Cheng Dalei remembers that annoying Taoist priest who held a white banner that read "See Through the World" and led a little Taoist named Hongchen around the world. After careful calculation, he still had a life-saving grace for Cheng Dalei, but Cheng Dalei couldn't figure it out.
How could Annoying and Lin Shaoyu get together?
"When we fled to the south of the Yangtze River, we met an annoying Taoist priest who was preaching. The Taoist priest has some magical powers. Without him, we would not have been able to achieve such a big thing."
Cheng Dalei nodded, hating Guo Fan with itching teeth. You are seeking your own death, why would you harm my brother?
"We, like the annoying Taoist priest, are willing to be led by the great master. The great master blocked a hundred thousand Rong cavalry in Qingniu Mountain and protected many people. As long as you give the order, tens of millions of people will worship under your banner. Great master.
If you are the master, this world is yours."
Cheng Dalei's brows furrowed more and more as he listened. When he first received the news about the Justice Cult, he said that the leader of the Justice Cult must be a great person. However, he did not expect that the leader of the Justice Cult was actually himself.
That weird god, the very similar flag... Cheng Dalei should have thought of something.
I can only say that God is a guy who loves to see jokes.
He patted Lin Shaoyu on the shoulder: "Don't think so much, take good care of yourself. There won't be any righteousness in the world anymore. You are still my brother."
"Master, why don't you do something with us? Although the army was defeated this time, the foundation of the Great Righteous Sect has not been lost. We have brothers in the south of the Yangtze River, the northwest, and even Chang'an. We are here to invite the Master to come out.
, one call and a hundred responses, fighting for the world."
Cheng Dalei stared at Lin Shaoyu: "Do you think I look like someone who wants to compete in the world? Take a closer look at my face."
Lin Shaoyu and Lin Chong nodded at the same time: "Like."
"Uh... stop talking nonsense." Cheng Dalei waved his hand.
"Master, do you really think that I have done so many things just for revenge?"
Cheng Dalei was startled when he saw Lin Shaoyu staring at him motionless.
"Master, don't you think something is wrong in this world?"
Cheng Dalei was silent again.
"The Rong people have repeatedly invaded the border. The empire has been defeated ten times in ten battles. The rich cannot bear it, and the powerful are rampant. Bandits are committing crimes all over the world. Looking at the empire's thirteen states, one hundred and eight cities, how many people are living in dire straits?" Lin Shaoyu asked:
"Is this what an empire should be like?"
"Master, do you still remember what you said when you first met me?" Lin Shaoyu looked out the window, as if recalling that long memory: "You told me that you have an ideal, that there should be land for the tiller.
May everyone live and work in peace and contentment, read the books of sages, do benevolent and righteous deeds, and may I use my hands to save all people from water and fire."
"It is precisely because of this ideal that I am willing to hold the boss's hand, and that is why I have come step by step to where I am today."
At the end of the sentence, Lin Shaoyu's tone was already a little accusatory.
Cheng Dalei was speechless. Of course he remembered these words. The reason why he remembered it was that he thought what he said was very beautiful, but he didn't think that what he did was very beautiful.
It would be silly to do this, okay? Cheng Dalei doesn't have the heart to help the world, nor does he have the ambition to conquer the Central Plains. He is just a little bandit, and it is enough for him to live happily for the rest of his life.
Times have changed, and many things have changed. Cheng Dalei's idea just now was wrong. Some things have indeed changed, but some things will never change. Cheng Dalei is still the happy bandit who has a small fortune, and Lin Shaoyu is a man who wants to be a hero.
, to this day he also believes in beautiful words such as justice, kindness, and a peaceful and prosperous age.
But Cheng Dalei doesn't believe it himself. Brother, could you please wake up? I was deceiving you in the first place. I don't believe a word of those words.
Lin Shaoyu propped himself up and stared at Cheng Dalei with burning eyes. Even though he was seriously injured, his whole body was like a torch.
It will not be extinguished until it burns to ashes.
The most helpless thing in the world: some people don’t believe some words, but those who listen do.
