Lin Yi and Rong Yi both looked ugly, especially Rong Yi.
He was born in a border town where the dynasty was least likely to produce practitioners. There, the practitioners were almost the same as the legendary immortals, and the struggles between the powerful were almost unheard of.
As for wars, they often end before they reach such border towns.
It was hard for him to imagine that something so dark could happen.
Lin Yi could imagine that it was just that he always felt that such things were far away from him. In his past subconscious mind, they were things that only happened in the adult world. But after listening to Wei Guanxing's story, he reacted
Come here, I am no longer the young man in Jiankang City who can listen to these stories as stories. I am now an adult and have truly entered such a world.
He began to wake up to the blood, cruelty and darkness that he might have to face all the time in the future.
"I don't know how I would have dealt with something like that if I had faced it. After all, I wasn't really immersed in it, and you can't know how I would have felt just by imagining it. So I can't say you did the right thing or the wrong thing.
"
Lin Yi was silent for a moment and said, "But I admire you very much. Very few people have the courage to do that."
"Some people care about right and wrong, but I don't care about right or wrong."
Wei Guanxing smiled, and with his careless smile, the haze disappeared from his body, "Right or wrong is a matter for others to judge. Since you can hear the voice in your own heart, why bother to listen to other people's voices."
"It's just that sometimes if you can't bear it, your death will be really ugly." Lin Yi shook his head.
Wei Guanxing glanced at Lin Yi, half-smiling but not smiling, "I don't think you are a tolerant person, how dare you accuse me?"
Lin Yi held his chin and thought seriously. He found that he couldn't seem to find any reason to refute.
"I'm not as easy to die as you think, at least I'm less likely to die than you are."
Wei Guanxing looked at Lin Yi with an air that you still haven't figured out, and said: "After I drowned those three thousand horse thieves, my tone among the border troops was already determined. Some adults protected me, and I
Because I owed them a favor, I would sometimes do things that they wanted to do but couldn't do. Later they were able to tolerate me doing some things, and if they could keep me, the most they could do was lose my rank. But at the same time, some military personnel
No one is willing to take responsibility for things, but it is best for me to take responsibility. Anyway, everyone from top to bottom, even the emperor, knows that I am a general with some character flaws. Just like Tie Cejun needs to do something that most armies are unwilling to do.
Just like coolies, some big shots in the army also need people like me to help them solve some unpleasant things."
"They owe me the same debt."
Wei Guanxing paused, looked at Lin Yi who was a little surprised and understood, and then said: "I joined the Tie Ce Army. In my opinion, there is mutual benefit between me and you. Sometimes you should also need someone to help you bear the blame.
, at the same time, Tie Cejun should also be able to let me get a lot of military exploits. Otherwise, the position is too low, and even if I have cultivation, I am afraid it will be considered dispensable by many people."
"It sounds like there are some benefits." Lin Yi really thought about it seriously, "It's just that someone who doesn't even care about rank, life and death, desperately wants to stay in the army that may allow you to climb up. What is your wish?
Already?"
"It's impossible for me to climb up. I just hope that if I stay in your army, you can climb up and at least have a chance to fight Min Zhiqiu on the battlefield." Wei Guanxing glanced at Lin Yi and said: " I hope so much, don’t let me down.”
"Min Zhiqiu?" Lin Yi felt that this person was very familiar, and soon he thought of who this person was. "Min Zhiqiu, Blood Cavalry Army of the Northern Wei Dynasty?"
Wei Guanxing nodded: "Who else besides him?"
Lin Yi and Rong Yi looked at each other.
"Your goal seems a bit long-term." Lin Yi told the truth. Min Zhiqiu was one of the famous generals of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The Blood Cavalry Army was the most powerful cavalry army in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It was known as the Blood Demon Cavalry in the wilderness.
As the most powerful cavalry army in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Blood Cavalry Army numbered one hundred thousand.
The Northern Wei Dynasty was originally famous for its cavalry. As the most elite army among the cavalry, the Blood Cavalry not only had many practitioners, but also had many special weapons for battle formations and powerful practitioners.
Lin Yi had already seen the bravery and fighting ability of the Tie Ce Army, but compared with such an army, the Tie Ce Army was just a small force.
"I'm afraid that at least five Iron Ce armies can defeat the Blood Cavalry Army?" Lin Yi said this, but felt that it was not enough. The five Iron Ce armies only amounted to a few hundred thousand. According to what he knew, This most elite army may have the strength to defeat multiple enemy armies.
"At least you are still seriously discussing this possibility with me." Wei Guanxing laughed, "Except for the most powerful figures in the border army, if I talk about this kind of thing to other generals, they will probably think that I am a Idiot." "You and Min Zhiqiu have old scores to settle?" Lin Yi didn't think he was an idiot. Since the other party was a general from the Northern Wei Dynasty, and since the two dynasties were at war, no matter how famous the general, he could be defeated.
"What's more, I've even met the eldest princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and she even helped me treat my foot injury." He couldn't help but say this with some pride in his heart.
"A big old debt."
Wei Guanxing laughed at himself slightly, "I was able to become a general of Class 10 at the earliest, and my military merit was gained from fighting with the Blood Cavalry Army, but the price I paid was that half of my best friends died in his hands. Then. Another time, I was ambushed by him again, and many people died."
In fact, it is normal to win or lose in battles. No matter how good a general is, he cannot win all the time.
But Lin Yi understands this emotion very well.
Because he thought about what if he fought with many of his best friends, and those friends were killed by an enemy general.
This feeling of revenge has surpassed the victory or defeat itself.
"You have to understand that no one actually likes to fight, so every sergeant has his own ideas and purposes, and has a reason for fighting. Not to mention that the battlefield is too far away from the emperor to be loyal to the emperor. Some are purely for military pay, and some are just for military pay. Because their homes were destroyed by the enemy, some people were killed by the enemy because of their relatives, some wanted revenge, and some wanted to be in a powerful position." Wei Guanxing glanced at Lin Yi and asked : "Why are you?"
Lin Yi listened to Wei Guanxing's previous words and felt that they were similar to the dialogue between himself and Xue Jiu. But when he heard Wei Guanxing's last sentence, he was slightly startled.
"I didn't think about it seriously at first, because no one asked me. I entered Nantianyuan to practice, and then went to Meishan... It should be that I was unwilling to do nothing in Jiankang and do nothing. Now that I think about it, why do I have it? After all, for In such troubled times, I am just a leaf of duckweed, just drifting with the tide for the time being."
Lin Yi honestly said what he was thinking, "What I think about now is the simplest. Since I am a practitioner, everything I do is naturally for the purpose of practicing and becoming stronger."
"When you are strong, everything is easy to talk about. Just like the Three Saints of the South, who dares not to care about their opinions?" Wei Guanxing laughed sincerely, "It is very simple not to look forward or backward. I like it."
(Today I have to leave some time to think about the plot, so I will update it the first time, and tomorrow will be the third update.)
