Gongsun Xue's remarks made the people present immediately put away their laughing expressions. This is just the beginning, and the really difficult battle is still to come.
Everyone got the order and went down immediately.
Gongsun Xue and Lan Si were the only ones left in the council hall, which was slightly empty.
"Girl, do you have other ideas?"
When no one else was around, the high priest always called her a girl, as if she had returned to her childhood.
She didn't deny it, but didn't answer the high priest's question quickly, but said something else.
"High priest, have you had a good time these past few years?"
This irrelevant question made Lan Si stunned for a moment. The child in front of him has always had a firm mind and only has clan matters in his heart. According to his original temperament, it is impossible to ask such sentimental words, but he is still serious. Answer after thinking.
"As a priest, I carry the responsibility of protecting the clan on my shoulders. The old man deserves this position all these years, and his heart is at ease."
Gongsun Xue shook his head when he heard the words, "I asked if you were happy, and your answer was peace of mind. This answer is reasonable, but I don't think you have ever felt happy."
Lan Si looked at her intently, "Girl, what about you?"
Gongsun Xue laughed at himself, "Your answer is the same as mine."
They live to dedicate their lives to their clan, but to seek peace of mind and be worthy of their hearts, that is righteousness.
She walked slowly to the window, and the cold wind blew on her face, just like her mood at this time.
"From childhood to adulthood, everyone told me that my mission is to strive to grow and become strong, and then take over the position of the suzerain, to be diligent in government, love the people, and benefit the society. He said it in my ear over and over again, and I said too much. I believe it, it is engraved in my mind, and I dare not forget it.”
"For so many years, I have been working hard, constantly absorbing knowledge, learning to kill, learning to conspiracy, and learning to become cold-blooded, because people in high positions cannot be soft-hearted.
"But it wasn't until a few days ago that I suddenly realized that I was not happy at all, or that I didn't know what it was like to be happy at all."
"Girl—" Lan Si stepped forward, her cloudy eyes full of pity.
For more than ten years, he had never heard her say so many words, and the content of the words was so distressing.
"People live in the world, and they have their own destiny. Everyone's mission is different. Just like you, you are destined to be the head of a sect and the leader of a country. This can't be changed. The old man loves you very much, but he can't change anything."
Gongsun Xue's eyes darkened, "Yeah, because the mission on my shoulders is different, so I have to undertake all of this"
"Child, you've suffered!" Lan Si moved his lips, and at the end of all the comforting words there was only this sentence left, and no amount of words could hide his weakness.
However, Gongsun Xue, who was still lonely just now, turned around, the sadness in his eyes had been replaced by a shallow light.
"High priest, I said so much, not to complain to you, nor to complain about the injustice of heaven, everyone has their own destiny, this is doomed, it cannot be changed, and I will not resist, but now, I think it is a change We must seize the opportunity of the situation in the Ming Dynasty and not let it pass.”
The people in front of him were rejuvenated, which made Lan Sidu feel relieved. He did not see the child wrong. Even if he encountered setbacks, he would not indulge in grief and continue to move forward.
"Okay, you say, listen to this old man."
Gongsun Xue walked to the desk, took the wolf hair and dipped it in ink, then drew a circle on the side of the map, "This is the territory of the Japanese, currently in the hands of Murong Yunxuan, this is occupied by Xu Yu and Gongsun Fei. Half Moon Clan territory."
"Wait, most of the territory they invaded is actually close to the Japanese." From the scope of Gongsun Xue's painting, Lan Sicai discovered this phenomenon, and his tone was full of surprise.
Gongsun Xue showed a meaningful smile, "Yes, I deliberately arranged it."
Xu Yu's constant little actions aroused her vigilance. Gongsun Fei arrogantly provoked her, and he didn't know how to cover up, which exposed her wolf ambitions, so she sent people to investigate them, so this time it was discovered that Xu Yu was taking advantage of his functional convenience. The people who installed him, so she deliberately called out all the officials of the city close to the Japanese. Xu Yu thought it was a good time, and immediately shoved the people over, and therefore moved his base to that side.
Lan Si was surprised, "Girl, why do you do this? Did you expect that Murong Yunxuan would regain all the Japanese territory, and then wanted Xu Yu, Gongsun Fei and the others to stop them and use Murong Yunxuan's hand to destroy them? ?"
But it's not right, if Murong Yunxuan defeated Xu Yu and the others, wouldn't it be equivalent to handing over half of the country to Murong Yunxuan
Lan Si doesn't understand her actions very well!
She had already thought of the High Priest's question, she retracted and stood up straight to face him, with a calm expression, "High Priest, how has the Moon Clan been in court these past few years?"
Lan Silue pondered for a while, "There are many factions competing, although the other factions are not good, but the Xu Yu faction cannot be underestimated. Rape can't be tolerated."
Gongsun Xue asked again, "What about the people under our control?"
Lan Si showed a look of embarrassment now, "For so many years, the old man has focused on teaching you and dealing with the affairs of the clan, and he doesn't know much about the affairs of the common people."
Gongsun Xue smiled, "High priest, I will answer this question for you."
"Since my father's death, the life of the people of the Moon tribe has not been stable, and the people of this tribe have lived like this, not to mention the people of the Japanese tribe. When Xu Yu designed the Japanese tribe, our army swept into the Japanese territory and defeated the Yang tribe. Yanzong, but we have occupied the territory, but we have not given the Japanese people a good life, and I am in the Yue clan, and I have no idea how the officials sent out are managed. The sun and moon clans live happily."
Speaking of this, Gongsun Xue's eyes instantly became sharp and cold, "The truth is that the people sent here did not take good care of the Japanese people, but instead increased taxes without authorization, bullied men and women, and did evil things, and they didn't treat people as people at all. , causing the people to live in poverty and grievances all over the sky, if it wasn't for this private visit, I would have been kept in the dark."
Lan Si never expected this to happen, he shook his hands, his eyes were shocked, "This, this—"
"High priest, isn't it our responsibility to let the people live in peace and prosperity? However, after so many years, it is now contrary to our thoughts. Can we still sit still?"
Gongsun Xue's words completely left Lan Si speechless. The child said so much, nothing more than to convince him about the next plan. He couldn't help but took a deep breath and prepared to fight the storm, "Then your Are you going to be?"
