"Come back to the palace with me, you are His Royal Highness, you will be the emperor of the empire in the future, you are still young, and you still have a lot of time to change the system you hate."
"As a tourist who looks at suffering with cold eyes, or as an emperor with supreme power, is it more difficult to change the unfairness in your eyes?"
"If you insist on hiding among the stars, mountains and rivers, exaggerating, and when faced with opportunities, you vulgarly withdraw and refuse to make a little sacrifice and effort, it only shows that you are not truly sympathetic to the tragic life of the common people at all, just use it to Satisfy one's own sense of moral superiority, and it is easy to ridicule and ridicule others."
Huaicao Shi looked at him blankly, her words were particularly sharp and powerful. In the past two years or so, she had thought too much about convincing the guy in front of her.
But obviously, Xu Le thought about this question for enough time, without any pause, he answered directly: "Any great reform or revolution requires the highest power to make a decision at a critical moment. This kind of decision There could be the destruction of an entire class, the trade-off between millions and tens of billions of lives."
He looked at Huai Cao Shi, and said sincerely to himself: "You know my character is flawed, it is difficult for me to make a similar choice, I am only good at destruction, not good at construction, and I can't even be a battlefield commander. What's more, such an important role?"
"If I myself lead the changes in the Zuotian Star Territory, there is no other possibility than putting the empire into turmoil and killing more people."
Xu Le looked at her and continued: "People must have self-knowledge. I have some talents in mechanics, but I am always so naive and ridiculous in politics. Past history has already proved this. In this regard, the two sides of the universe are more I have too many smart people, it is impossible not to see that in the cosmic era without the glory of the charter, the totalitarian empire wants to retain power forever, after all, it is just an extravagant hope, so in fact you are already starting to change."
Huai Cao Shi was silent, realizing that although he admitted that he was naive and ridiculous in politics, his vision was correct.
"I can't do things that even the emperor and you can't do," Xu Le said.
Huai Cao Shi didn't care about his address to His Majesty, raised his eyebrows slightly, stared into his eyes and asked, "The reform of the empire has just started for more than ten years, and the prospects are unknown.
"Educational reforms, cross-racial pilots, trying to mend the tensions between classes, and give full play to the capabilities of the lower classes, so as to bring new blood to the dead empire. This is what you are doing now."
Xu Le looked at her and said, "I said just now that I have been to many places and seen many people and things. I know what the real lower society of the empire is like, and I believe you know it too. Last time you took me to San Zhizhou Prefecture has seen those national universities, and they look very good, but what about Sangku Town where we are now?"
"If the untouchable children here are lucky if they are not beaten to death by the nobles, how can they dare to expect the right to education? This is the case with the Liban stars that you have designated as pilots. What is the situation of the entire empire? How can the emperor's educational reform will affect the Where to go? Or can I only change the streets around the palace?"
Conversation or debate is sometimes like a tug-of-war. Because of the different positions under each other's feet, they want to pull the other party to their side, but they never allow themselves to be pulled to the other party's side, so when one party starts to exert force, the other Convenience followed with force, and gradually increased in turn, until the strength of language and logic proof was exhausted and could no longer increase, then began to use gestures, tone and expressions to assist, anger, sarcasm, and many methods took turns to appear, like tug-of-war. The hands that were bleeding from the rope, the red face with too much force, and the fat buttocks sliding on the muddy ground were not good-looking.
The dilapidated library covers an area of only seven or eight square meters. The books on the three-story bookshelf are not ash, but they are a little wrinkled. The two arguing people at the window also found that this quarrel was meaningless, and quietly returned to the sunny day. indoor.
After a long silence, Huaicao Shi tilted his jaw slightly, looked at Xu Le and said, "You are watching, you are thinking, this shows that you have not thought about the possibility of returning to the palace."
"I am a tourist, but in the two years of traveling around the Zuotian Star Region, I naturally feel emotional after seeing the incident. This does not mean anything." Xu Le replied.
"Just tourists?"
A ray of light suddenly flashed across Huai Cao Shi's slightly narrowed eyes, and she said in a low voice, "On July 1, the seven hundred and twenty-sixth year of the imperial calendar, the official of the Cross Constellation Tourist Club died tragically in the apartment."
"On November 15, 726, the bodies of two nobles were found in the Rimbos salt mine tunnel. The guns in their hands were too late to fire a bullet, and their throats were cut by a sharp weapon."
"After the seven hundred and twenty-seventh year of the New Year's ceremony, the bodies of seven priests were found in the basement of the Green Cathedral in Gangding, while the children who were rumored to be imprisoned in the basement disappeared without a trace. This incident triggered a religious conflict, Your Majesty. Only by personally dispatching troops to suppress it can we resolve this matter.”
"April, seven hundred and twenty-seventh..."
Huaicao Shi looked at him quietly, her thin lips parted slightly, and she began to tell about a dozen or so shocking cases in the Zuotian Star Region over the past two years. Every time she told the time, place, and character of a case, the strange emotions in her eyes became clear. One point thicker, and Xu Le's eyes across the table will be narrower.
"This year is the spring of the seven hundred and twenty-eighth year of the Bai Jin imperial calendar. A noble young master died tragically in his manor, and even his penis was cut off."
Huai Cao Shi stared at Xu Le's eyes and said, "It's a coincidence that the place where the murder happened is the place you passed by when you traveled. According to the time, you happened to be nearby at that time. Is it really just a coincidence?"
Xu Le was silent for a long time, spread his hands and smiled, and replied, "Of course it's not a coincidence."
Huaicao Shi looked at him and said: "No matter the Federation or the Empire, countless people are guessing where you went, and most people think that you are living in seclusion in Bermuda, and there may be other guesses, but they always think that after you escape, you should be in hiding."
"But you can kill wherever you go. What kind of escape and seclusion is this?"
"I'm still young, not old. What else can I do? Of course, I won't bring a dozen wives to find a poor country to be the emperor, and be satisfied with this so-called fun of seclusion."
Xu Le looked at her and said, "As for where to go to kill... It's not that I want to kill, but that there are too many people who should be killed along the way."
"Aristocratic young masters who raped and murdered young girls, bishops and gentlemen who kept seven or eight-year-old boys in their basements like pigs, and nobles who murdered untouchable miners to defraud the empire for compensation, they all deserve to die, so I let them die."
He squinted his eyes and looked out the window, pointed at the faint people outside the broken wall, and said: "On all planets in the empire, things like this happen every day, including here. I believe that if you see those pictures with your own eyes, you will also Make the same choice, except that you are Her Royal Highness and rarely have the opportunity to touch these things."
"What problem can be solved by killing so many people? To solve the fundamental problem, you need to have the power to kill hundreds of thousands of people. If you still insist on not going back with me..."
Huaicao Shi squinted at him, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, coughed twice and said, "That only proves that you are naive, absurd, selfish and callous, and you are intoxicated by your own moral superiority when you look up at the starry sky? It's so easy! It's disgusting easy!"
Xu Le looked down at the teacup, and suddenly said, "I told you in Master Fan's house back then that I am a very selfish person. Please be cool about this."
He raised his head, looked into Huaicao Shi's eyes, and said sincerely: "I'm a poor fellow with no position now, I used to be lost and angry, and I didn't even have confidence until I found some in a department store. , but that really wasn't enough."
"People have to do something to live, even tourists want to do something, kill those people, do those things, fight injustice, avenge the innocent or something..."
He shrugged, smiled and said, "It's a recreational activity I like, it's my hobby, and it has nothing to do with morality."
After a long time, Huaicao Shi's squinted eyes gradually relaxed and said, "I accept your explanation."
She stared into his eyes and continued: "But have you ever thought about how many people you will anger by such reckless behavior, you are just a tourist, you can leave floating, those weak people you want to protect have to suffer the nobles Bloody revenge after the fact."
"Of course I have thought about these things." Xu Le looked at her, scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "I killed all the really crazy and cruel guys as much as possible. As for the aftermath, I know the intelligence agency. The officials have been looking for me, since they are your subordinates, and they guessed that I did it, they should help me deal with the follow-up things."
He hurriedly lifted the kettle from the stove, filled the teacup of Huai Cao Shi, and said with a smile, "The Imperial Intelligence Agency, led by Her Royal Highness, of course, has this ability."
"Are you taking advantage of me?" Huai Cao Shi stared at him.
"A reminder?"
Huaicao Shi sighed, holding the teacup in silence for a moment, suddenly shook his head and laughed without warning, but the laughter was replaced by a series of coughs in an instant.
Xu Le frowned and looked at her who was covering her lips and coughing, and could clearly hear her pain. Looking at her pale face, her cheeks were obviously thinner than before, she subconsciously raised her left hand, wanting to caress her back to relieve the pain. , but the arm is extremely stiff, and it is impossible to stretch it out.
He knew that although she was not a permanent resident of Mohua Star for more than two years, she focused all her energy on the planet full of death and killing, fighting against the ruthless and crazy Federation star, and even at the risk of unimaginable dangers. Princess Zhizun personally shot three times to assassinate the other party.
Xu Le knew very well that even if she was as powerful as a grass poem, it would be difficult to assassinate Du Shaoqing, who was under the protection of the heavy army. She had not been buried in the federal military camp these three times. She was very lucky, but she must have been seriously injured.
Looking at her who was coughing and frowning, Xu Le's eyebrows were also frowning, took a deep breath, and asked, "Is it seriously injured this time?"
His palm fell on her back, and the Eight Rice True Qi passed along with the warmth of his palm.
