Su Tang saw him standing there, repeating only this sentence, and stood up, walked to his side, saw the tears falling on his cheeks, and gently reached out to take the sword in his hand.
This sword was given to him by Su Tang when he left the capital. For more than two years, this sword stayed with Pei Xuan. Every day he practiced martial arts and every time he killed enemies on the battlefield, the blade was still white and sharp.
There is no doubt that it is a really good weapon. Pei Xuan's hand grasped the handle of the sword tightly. Su Tang exerted a little force, but when he saw that he couldn't hold it, he looked up at him and said, "Pei Xuan, let go!"
"Tangtang..." Pei Xuan looked hoarse as he watched the girl standing in front of him, her clear eyes staring at him.
Seeing him like this, Su Tang's eyes turned slightly red. How could this damn reality forcefully torture a good young man into such a state: "Let go first."
Looking at Su Tang's somewhat red eyes, the young man finally loosened his grip. With a clang, the sword fell to the ground with a sound. The young man bowed his body, lowered his head and burst into tears.
Seeing him like this, Su Tang reached out and hugged him. The young man seemed to have finally found support, leaning his head on his shoulder, his voice choked with sobs, "Every day when dad was alive, he got up before dawn to practice martial arts. He never There was a day when I gave up, so he has asked me to do this since he was a child.
I was afraid of getting tired when I first started practicing martial arts. One day I was too lazy to practice, so he punished me by squatting in the horse stance for a whole day.
I fainted from exhaustion. As he carried me back to the room, he told me that the heir to the Pei family could not relax for a moment.
Because I am the eldest son of Duke Pei and the young prince of Duke Pei's mansion. In the future, I will stand on the battlefield with thousands of people behind me, and my sword will be directed towards the enemy.
Therefore, we must strengthen ourselves to defeat the enemy and protect the stability of the people. "
Pei Xuan also hugged Su Tang tightly with her arms, and spoke to Su Tang in a low and depressed voice about Duke Pei, the great hero who stood tall in his heart, and the person he would always admire, his father.
"I started practicing martial arts at the age of three, and even though he loved me so much, he never let me relax for a day.
Dad told me that because I am the heir of the Pei family, because our Pei family is the God of War family praised by the people, and because our Pei family are the most heroic warriors.
He is not a general, but a warrior. He is a warrior who protects all the people of Qihuang Kingdom. He is a warrior who fights bloody battles on the front and protects the peace of this land with his life. He is also a warrior who maintains the rule of the monarchs and ministers. "
When Pei Xuan said this, her tone became excited again, "But why, Tangtang, are the sacrifices of generations of our Pei family really worth it? Will the result be the death of cunning rabbits and the end of being cooked by lackeys? My Pei family is full of loyal people. does it worth?"
Su Tang felt that the boy holding him was shaking. He suddenly encountered the death of his father, and the truth behind it shook the boy's once strongest faith.
"If you think it's not worth it, don't do it." Su Tang patted the young man on the back and said this.
Su Tang didn't know if it was worth it. Those people who praised the Pei family as the God of War family couldn't bring back the fresh lives, and they couldn't really feel the pain of others losing their loved ones.
What's more, the person sitting high on the throne is even proud of his own behavior.
Is it worth it? Four simple words cannot summarize the sacrifices and hidden pain of a family from generation to generation.
