"Bet? What to bet?"
The warchief was full of curiosity.
Lu Yu said calmly: "Since you want to gamble, let's bet a little bigger, let's gamble... the whole barbarian, how about it?"
"Haha, haha."
The warchief smiled.
I don't know whether the smile is reluctant or miserable.
"Bet on the whole barbarian? How do you gamble? If I lose, I will give up the whole barbarian? How?"
Lu Yu said calmly: "Regardless of whether you win or lose, you are still the barbarian chief. This will not change. I will still help you in power. This will not change. What needs to be changed... is the future of the barbarian. The whole barbarian thinks What to do, what to do, the choice... It’s you or me, that’s the difference."
The warchief immediately woke up and said solemnly: "If I lose, do you want me to be your puppet?!"
Lu Yu said calmly: "It's not a puppet, a puppet, and tools. You can replace them at will and dispose of them at will. But the warchief will always be a warchief. Without your status, I can't do anything, so the two words puppet... . To be more precise... It should be the shadow, not that the warchief is my shadow, but... I became the shadow of the warchief. The shadow is different, it cannot be replaced, cannot be abandoned. It is difficult for you to see it yourself, but it is true Existence is a place that cannot be illuminated by light, but it is caused by light. So as long as the warchief agrees to this game, the impact of success or failure on you is just... My suggestion is the difference between accepting selectively and accepting it all. Haha, think about it carefully, what's the difference?"
The chief's eyelids twitched twice.
Indeed... It makes no difference.
Today, all of Lu Yu's suggestions have been complied with by the Chieftain, without any refutation or deduction. It was precisely because of accepting Lu Yu's suggestions that he participated in the Battle of the Great Jade Kingdom in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He obtained so many benefits and laid the foundation for everything he does today. It was because of acceptance that he withdrew from the war in time, retaining all the power of the barbarians, and the opponent's non-retaliation. It is precisely because of acceptance that he has the status of his current warchief.
He would accept all Lu Yu's suggestions, and from these suggestions he had obtained certain benefits that he had never dared to imagine.
If that were to be said, then the winning or losing of this bet... seems really not so important.
only…
The mood is different.
As Lu Yu said, one is a choice, the other is no choice.
What is the difference between the two
free!
As if to see the thoughts of the warchief.
Lu Yu said calmly: "The chief knows about kites, right?"
"Naturally know that it is a game that your children in the great jade country like. Put a piece of paper or a piece of leather into the air and fly high, even over flying birds. It's amazing."
"It's really good to be able to fly in the air..." Lu Yu sighed lightly, and said softly, his tone envied: "Then... it should be considered free, dancing in the air with the wind, wherever the wind blows, just It's really enviable where it floats, jumps into the air, and looks unrestrained."
The warchief nodded and said: "It is really enviable. Many people have tried everything to have that freedom, including me."
Lu Yu said again: "That's it. Does the warchief know why the kite can fly freely in the air? Why doesn't it fall?"
"Because the wind blows."
"The fallen leaves are also blowing in the wind, but they will fall after all."
"That is… "
The warchief doesn't know.
"That's because... under the kite, there is a thread holding it."
"This!"
The warchief was taken aback, as if he understood something.
Lu Yu said calmly: "Freedom... is such a thing. If you want to fly high, you don't want to break free, but to make the line as long as possible, and you must also ensure that the line will not be broken. If it is broken, you will not be able to fly. "
He stood up, looked at the clouds in the sky that seemed to be free, and said softly: "Only restraint can create freedom. This is a truth that many people understand but don't understand. Look at how free the clouds in the sky are. But it is too fragile, it can only look at the face of the sun, if the other party blushes, it can only disappear, this kind of freedom... Is this freedom the warchief wants?"
"This... I don't want the barbarians to dissipate like that."
Lu Yu nodded and said, "That's it, then... Chief, if you lose, let me make your thread. I will stretch it as long as possible to make you fly higher and look better. free."
Nothing was said after that.
But the warchief also understands.
I also have to keep that wire from breaking, and if it is broken, I will no longer be free, and I will not be able to fly higher.
The warchief suddenly felt that a thread was wrapped in his heart, and he couldn't get rid of it. Although he knew that the thread was only good for him, but... he was uncomfortable and unhappy in his heart.
After sighing heavily, he thought to himself, since the gambling, then he may not lose. Moreover, the phrase'the idler is a malignant tumor' also deeply pierced the heart of the warchief. In fact, he was also worried about this matter recently.
Obviously, he had done what Lu Yu said, and he was ruthless. Everything was going in a good direction, but he was partial... The warchief felt that he was a little powerless and couldn't control this huge barbarian.
"Well, that's how the bet is set."
The warchief said in a deep voice.
Therefore, a gambling game concerning the future of the barbarians was formed under the condition that there were only two people without any judgment or guarantee.
Now that there was a gambling game, the warchief found that he could let go of his hands and feet, and the pressure in his heart was no longer as great as before. Because he has specific things to do, instead of focusing on the'doing'.
What to do and how to do it are two completely different states of mind.
In the first time, he released the Mandrill tribe from the prison. Although he heard a lot of doubts, with the current prestige and status of the warchief, naturally no one dared to come out and say anything.
The second thing is to let the sand country spy to continue investigating the monuments.
The other party really lived up to the expectations. In only one day, he found an approximate position in the territory of the Mandrill tribe.
There is a mountain, not very high, but the area is not small. And the shape is a bit strange, like a "bag", the kind of bag that was swollen after being hit hard on the top of the head.
It's not very high, but it's very round. You won't find it strange from one direction, but if you stand at a high place, you will be surprised how there is such a strange place in the world.
There are trees on the low hills, which are not dense.
Lu Yu also watched it once, and there was a slight change in his flat expression. The arrangement of the trees seems messy, but in fact... they have an inexplicable taste, like...
Formation!
The weird short mountain bag, the tree formation on it... Lu Yu had to admit that he had missed it before.
There is definitely something weird here, just like the sand country spy said, maybe... there really are some ancient treasures here!
As for the third thing, a series of excavation work, under the command of the warchief, started step by step and quickly.
