In this world, only people from a certain party are allowed to disobey the rules. Those who are willing to abide by the rules also have the right to disobey the rules, especially when their opponents begin to disobey the rules.
But in this world, people who can break the rules seem to have always been at two extremes, either strong enough or weak enough.
Therefore, some people may also say that the larger group of people who really obey the rules seem to be unable to receive the reasonable benefits brought by obeying the rules.
Actually, this is wrong.
The vast majority of people follow the rules, which in itself is a reasonable benefit that the existence of rules can bring to the vast majority of people.
A strong person's disobedience to rules must be based on one principle, that is, the benefits are enough to make him break the rules.
Because the strong care not only about profits, but also about reputation.
They must be careful when breaking the rules and dare not blatantly do so, because although they are strong, the person who makes the rules is the strongest.
As for the weak who break the rules, it is either because of food and clothing or because of desperate circumstances.
Some people hate beggars, but they hate thieves more than beggars. Most people don't hate beggars, they hate liars.
Among both kinds of people, the strong and the weak, there are inherently bad people and evil people.
So there are some rules in this world that can be touched, and some rules that cannot be touched.
What Lin Ye was touching was the rule that the enemy had broken twenty years ago.
This rule actually disappeared from the moment Loutai Mingyu assassinated Liu Jigong.
Therefore, Lin Ye, who came twenty years later, did not feel that he had anything to be proud of because he broke the rules with one sword.
He came late.
Of course you can't blame him for coming late, after all, he is only in his twenties.
In his more than twenty years of life, there were many people who should have come but did not.
Due to various reasons, it can be summed up in two words... helpless.
For example, the old headmaster of Shangyang Palace, could he come back then?
Of course, but if he comes, then the emperor may die in Geling. That situation does not exist temporarily, but as long as he leaves Xie Fuwei's side, Xie Fuwei may die.
Either die from someone else's assassination, or die from his physical weakness.
Today, twenty years later, Lin Ye walked into Lou Fan holding a sheathless long knife and wearing a bamboo hat.
Not for any reason.
It's for memorial purposes.
He was dressed in black, with a bright red rope tied around his wrist. The word "cowardly" was embroidered with silver thread on the cuffs of the black clothes. The red rope was braided for him by his mother-in-law.
He strode forward with a bamboo hat on his head and a long unsheathed sword in his arms, because when his brother left home, he was dressed like this and walked like this.
A small and incomplete border town, even with hundreds of relatively elite Lou Fan border troops, could not stop Lin Ye's sword. If it could, it would mean that all the powerful people in the God-endowed Realm in the world were just
A false name that scares people.
Lin Ye walked into Lou Fan in this way, not just to follow in his brother's footsteps.
Also because when he walks in like this, all the eyes in Lou Fan will be focused on him, so Ning Haitang, Xumi Jinghong and others can enter more safely.
What's more, if he walks in like this, he will definitely be surrounded by the powerful Lou Fan. Of course, it is best for the person named Loutai Mingyu to appear in front of Lin Ye in person.
When saying goodbye to Ning Shehai, Lin Ye didn't tell him how he would walk into Lou Fan.
If he did, Ning Shehai would definitely stop him. Lin was not afraid of him stopping him, Lin Ye was just afraid of trouble.
The young man in black clothes holding a knife walked on Lou Fan's official road. The resolute face under the bamboo hat was a typical beauty.
In thousands of years, this may be the first Central Plains person to enter Loufan in this way.
Of course, there is no difference between the appearance of the Dongbo people and the jade people now. After all, Dongbo once served as the overlord of the Central Plains. After a long period of integration, the appearance can no longer be easily distinguished.
Lin Ye's brother once came here with a sword in his hand, but at that time, his brother was not as upright and upright as Lin Ye. His brother also sneaked all the way to the capital of Loufan.
The news that a beauty broke through the barrier quickly spread, but no one believed that the guy coming with a knife was Lin Ye.
Because, this doesn't make sense.
A person who is already a very popular minister has such a high status that no one can surpass him except Emperor Dayu. Why should he take risks alone?
Whether it makes sense or not, Lin Ye is here, but as he said, he is not here to make sense.
If you need to use a knife to speak good truth in this world, it is definitely not a gentle and kind truth.
Even if you can use a knife to explain the truth, it may be unreasonable.
The city closest to the border is called Quye. It is not a big city. The total number of defenders and civilians in the city is only 20,000.
Of course there will be Jianghu people among these 20,000 people, and Lou Fan also has Jianghu people.
When the news reached Quye City, subtle changes occurred in the city.
The first group of people to leave the city were precisely the Jianghu people.
They...escaped.
The people who came back to report the news saw the knife, so the Quye Jianghu people who heard the news knew that they couldn't stop the knife.
If they stayed, once the young man holding the knife walked into Quye City, then the people in Quye City would definitely count on them, people from the world, to kill the beauty.
Are you kidding...
The second group of people leaving Quye City were... Lou Fan's army.
They thought so too.
The third group of people who left Quye City were people from the government. After much hesitation, they decided not to leave their lives to luck.
The fourth group of people who left Quye City were ordinary people.
Who would have thought that Lin Ye deliberately and slowly walked to Quye City to attract more people to come to him, but what he saw was indeed an empty city. A city with 20,000 people now had no one left.
This may be because...plop comes.
Plop is a story that many people have heard since childhood. This story is a bit unreasonable, but it seems to be a story that makes sense.
The little animals in the jungle heard the terrible noise, so they began to run away one after another. They didn't know what the thump was, but they were afraid that they would die in the hands of the thump.
One of the reasons why this story doesn't make sense is that animals don't understand each other's languages, and they can't make the same plop sound, or even a plop sound.
When Lin Ye walked to Quye City, the place turned into an empty city. One person scared away 20,000 people because all 20,000 people could understand and say "Plop."
Therefore, standing in the empty Quye City, Lin Ye felt a little absurd. The world seemed to be unreal all of a sudden, and he became a plop.
He found ingredients in a shop and made a bowl of noodles by himself. The ingredients were sufficient and the aroma was strong enough.
He sat at a square table on the roadside and ate this bowl of noodles. He felt that this bowl of noodles deserved seven points of satisfaction. The reason for his dissatisfaction with the three points was that there was no shredded chicken.
At this moment, a young man from Lou Fan appeared in Lin Ye's sight.
He should have come back from the direction they fled. Maybe he couldn't stand the shame in his heart when he ran away, or maybe he woke up and it was better to die than live like that.
Anyway, he came back, just like when Lin Ye came, he was alone, and he also brought a knife, a scimitar that symbolized Loufan's identity.
"There's really only one person."
When young man Lou Fan saw Lin Ye eating noodles, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
So he laughed. He laughed because he felt that he might not have to die. Who doesn't have a life?
So he rushed towards Lin Ye.
So he became a corpse.
It was no surprise that even the process could be ignored. He failed to get within ten feet of Lin Ye, and Lin Ye just glanced at him.
The corpse fell into two pieces after it fell to the ground. When the internal organs and blood surged out, it seemed as if they were separate living entities.
No waves.
But it proves one thing... the plop really does come.
Of course, the young Lou Fan swordsman did not come back by himself, but he was the only one who dared to enter the city. There were still people secretly watching from a distance. After all, curiosity is an emotion that humans can never eliminate.
After seeing their young swordsman split into two pieces, the group turned and ran away.
Curiosity is an emotion that humans cannot exclude, and so is fear.
Lin Ye finished the bowl of noodles quietly, and he felt what the emperor felt back then.
On that swordsman Lou Fan who died in his hands.
humiliation.
However, if the Emperor was really angry and wanted to exhaust the foundation of the Central Plains to face Plop Lai, then the person who died would not be alone, because it was really not Plop Lai.
The strong one is coming.
Lin Ye ate the noodles and walked slowly to the two corpses. He took a look and saw that a deep pit was created on the ground. He put the corpse into the pit and buried it.
This was the first Loufan person Lin Ye buried, and also the last one.
The reason is simple, just because he is the first, the first, and worthy of Lin Ye's admiration.
When walking out of Quye City, Lin Ye saw a Lou Fan army coming upstream. The number was not large, about two hundred people.
A cavalry team of two hundred people actually looks very impressive to ordinary people.
The leader is a civil servant.
It was he who persuaded the fleeing Lou Fan soldiers on the way with righteous words and made them understand that they were the ones who should not escape.
And in order to let them understand, this civil servant walked at the front of the team.
The country was humiliated and the soldiers died.
Scholars can, too.
Read more books to understand more truths, not to be so smart that you can only be prudent and protect yourself.
However, many readers have forgotten it.
"You deserve to die!"
This Lou Fan scholar did not use more words to criticize Lin Ye, but only used these three simple and direct words.
"Yes."
Lin Ye answered him because this scholar deserved his answer.
From the perspective of Lou Fan people, of course Lin Ye deserves to die.
"I invaded Loufan, and the Loufan people should think that I deserve to die. I hope that after your death, more Loufan people will understand this truth."
So, the civil servant died.
Lin Ye did not draw his sword.
Still, I just took a look.
At a glance, the civilian official's heart was pierced, and the blood and minced meat spurted out from his chest were all on the soldiers of Lou Fan behind him.
Lin Ye looked at the more than two hundred Loufan soldiers.
"I invaded Loufan, and people in Loufan certainly thought I deserved to die, but I came because I felt that there were many damned people here."
"This has nothing to do with whether I am here for revenge. It is just because when I am strong enough, this becomes what I must do. It has nothing to do with hatred and has nothing to do with justice."
Lin Ye said: "I hope that if you die, people in Loufan will understand this truth. When you are strong, you want to hit others, and when others are strong, they will naturally hit you."
That's it, it's that simple.
As a result, two hundred people were killed.
If it's not just the young swordsman who comes back, if it's not just the scholar Lou Fan who comes back, if it's not just the two hundred armored warriors who come back, if it's all the people in Quye City who come back...
...Then Lin Ye may re-examine this solo trip, and may also feel that it is too early to come to Lou Fan at this time.
When 20,000 people rushed towards Lin Ye, shouting, even if Lin Ye had the strength and heart to kill more people, he would choose to retreat, because he was not facing 20,000 people, but the people of a nation.
Resistance.
The one who came back was a swordsman who knew how to use a knife, and he felt that he should come back.
The person who came back was a scholar who had read a lot of books, and he felt that he should come back.
What came back was a group of soldiers wearing armor, and they also felt that they had changed back.
The remaining 20,000 people felt that they should not come back.
Lin Ye saw the courage he should see, the fear he should see, the heart of a strong man he wanted to see, and the thoughts of a mortal he wanted to see.
