“I have to work hard too!”
The feeling of not admitting defeat arises spontaneously. Bo Jiang does not need a golden finger to do this, but Chi Jixia cannot lose to his two teammates.
Therefore, Chi Jixia did not use the golden finger, and chose to dismantle the question raised by Bo Jiang by himself: "It's very simple, just like 'life will find its own way out'. Qu Yun helped them to grab the relief food, led them to rescue their relatives and friends who were imprisoned by corrupt officials, and upheld justice for them. Why should they not obey Qu Yun?"
"But the people of the north and the Zhou Dynasty are enemies for generations! A hundred years before that..."
"The war took place on the border, and the floods hit the heartland of the Central Plains, which had never been visited by cavalry. Although Qu Yun was a northerner, he did not do anything that was detrimental to the Zhou Dynasty or them." Chi Jixia said, "You have to admit that they just wanted to have enough food. And since ancient times, the people have been short-sighted..."
"They can't see it, but haven't they heard about it?" Bo Jiang sneered, "'At first, they arrested the Jews, and I didn't say anything because I'm not a Jew'. Just like what it says. They can't see that other northerners are eyeing the border, they can't see the century-old feud, they can't see that their homeland will be destroyed in just ten years..."
Bo Jiang was about to vomit blood.
He felt dizzy.
It was ridiculous, really ridiculous. Those he trusted deceived him. Those he protected betrayed him. Those he treated well bullied him. He let the rebels go and did not pursue the guilt of any one of them. He held a candle and talked with the leader of the rebels in the cell all night. All the people he let go told him that their leader was an ordinary Zhou Dynasty farmer. They all knew, but no one told him that the person they cherished with love and carefully concealed his identity was from the enemy country.
"When I let them go, they looked at me as if I were a stupid joke."
He thought expressionlessly.
drip... drip...
A barely perceptible electronic sound rang out in the sky. Transparent silk threads climbed in along the corners of the wall, crossing mountains and ridges.
Finally it wrapped around Bo Jiang's ankle.
Chi Jixia didn't understand Bo Jiang's sudden negative emotions.
Maybe this is what an experiential actor is. He thought, and asked the system with awe:
"As Bo Mingjiang's father, shouldn't I also break down my defenses with my grandson at this time?"
"It took a long time for the ice to freeze three feet thick to form. Bo Jiang, I don't know if you have checked." Someone held up his phone, "Before the drought, the local people had been tortured by rampant corrupt officials and harsh heavy taxes for decades."
His voice was very cold, as if covered with a thin layer of ice.
"Before the Bo Dynasty, there was also the Chen Dynasty on this land. It was ended by the same droughts, the same eunuchs who only knew how to abuse their power, and the position of county official that could be bought for a hundred taels of silver. The Qinghe Bo family then revolted, and then the Zhou Dynasty came into being. Comparing the last years of the two dynasties together, your Bo Dynasty was not much better. When you told them to love your Zhou Dynasty, which part of your Zhou Dynasty did you tell them to love?"
"It was the corrupt officials who loved you who regarded them as ants. In order to avoid being reprimanded by the emperor, they concealed the disaster and sent them to the capital at full speed all day long. They only knew where and when a good omen would occur."
"I love you. Although there is an imperial examination, cheating is rampant. How many common people study hard for decades but still can't pass the exam to become a scholar. The children of officials don't need to take the imperial examination. There are always excuses for them to continue to be officials."
"you!"
Shit, a fight is about to break out. This was Chi Jixia's first reaction.
Ding Biehan lay in bed and wanted to take a nap, but he couldn't fall asleep.
The scene he saw last night still shook his heart.
The almost colorless silk thread came from nowhere, but it climbed silently onto Bo Jiang's bed in the night, revealing its spider-like ferocity, and was about to pierce straight into Bo Jiang's brain.
—Just like the silk strings used to control a puppet. This was Ding Biehan’s first thought.
What are those threads? Who is controlling them, and where is that "someone"
Is Bo Jiang's recent abnormality related to it? What kind of conspiracy is hidden behind this? Will Bo Jiang be replaced by another strange soul like An Yelin in the past
Are all the abnormalities that happened in this boy band related to his "infinite overflow"? And...
Is he the mastermind behind all this
Ding Biehan just felt his scalp tingling.
Ding Biehan is a cold person. He is not good at speaking, but only good at thinking. After his parents passed away, he put himself in extreme sports and rarely had any friendly interactions with other people.
He liked the feeling of being on the brink of death. The more dangerous the situation, the more he needed to stay calm, which made him feel that he was still alive.
Later, he encountered an accident while diving in a cave, and the whirlpool in the underwater cave took away his sense of direction. When he was dying of lack of oxygen, Ding Biehan entered the infinite flow game, and since then he has had less communication with outsiders.
One is that I am worried that my secret will be exposed, and the other is that I don’t have time.
But people are all made of flesh and blood. The time he spent with Hong Tuan finally gave him a ridiculous sense of belonging.
Although this sense of belonging wouldn't make Ding Biehan do anything for them, what if, by some chance, the tragedy of these teammates being possessed was caused by him
It was the infinite energy overflowing from his body that nearly caused An Yelin to be possessed by another spirit.
It was he who caused Chi Jixia to experience what happened in the mental hospital... something he still hasn't been able to find out.
It was he who made Bo Jiang meet those silk threads.
Yi Wan is both good and evil, and it is unclear whether he is an enemy or a friend.
"Boss, when you chose me, did you ever think that I would end up bringing the greatest misfortune to others?" Ding Biehan thought blankly.
Or...
Ding Biehan shuddered suddenly.
The boss is so smart that he has already figured it out!
He knew that these teammates would be infected by his infinite flow. The order of infection would be the same as their resistance order... and eventually it would be Yi Wan's turn.
The boss wants to use him to get rid of Yi Wan!
Ding Biehan's back was covered in cold sweat. He told himself that this was impossible... But when he closed his eyes, he would think of Bo Jiang.
“…Now whenever I close my eyes, I will see Bo Jiang’s face.” He whispered.
“Pah.”
Ding Biehan opened his eyes in shock and saw An Yelin standing at his door, stunned, with his water cup dropped to the ground.
The two looked at each other for a while. An Yelin showed his emotional intelligence: "Do you want to go and see them rehearse?"
Ding Biehan: …followed in silence.
The two walked side by side for less than thirty seconds. An Yelin asked him, "Don't be cold, I don't mean anything else. Do you dislike Yi Wan now?"
Ding Biehan choked and said firmly: "Never!"
He thought he denied it firmly, but An Yelin looked at him with more sympathy.
Stop that damn look!
The two of them went to the living room and found that the three people seemed to be arguing. Bo Jiang covered his chest with his face pale, as if he was about to faint. Chi Jixia said, "Yi Wan, what are you talking about, Yi Wan," and Yi Wan was patting Bo Jiang on the back.
While filming, he calmly said, "Please wait a moment before you faint. I haven't finished what I want to say."
An Yelin was shocked by this scene. Ding Biehan was even more shocked.
Because he saw the colorless silk thread on Bo Jiang's ankle.
here we go again!
It wasn't his illusion, those silk threads appeared again!
Chi Jixia: "Yi Wan, I beg you to stop talking..."
It was a rare opportunity for Chi Jixia to act as a peacemaker. He felt both scared and excited.
Bo Jiang: "Yi Wan, please continue."
"Bo Mingjiang, who do you hope they will not betray, their country or the Bo family's royal family? When you claim to give everything for the people, is it because you want the people to have you in their hearts? What are you protecting, the dynasty of the people or the dynasty of your Bo family? For so many years, the Bo family has ridden on their heads, raising an emperor who listened to eunuchs, an emperor who was ambitious and toured the south all day (Bo Mingjiang's grandfather), and an emperor who cultivated immortals (Bo Mingjiang's father). How many years have passed in total? A hundred years. Those people have been waiting for you for a hundred years. Even if you raise a prince who is really capable of serving the people, what makes you believe in you and wait for you for another thirty years?"
Will you let them spend their whole lives waiting for you to revive the glory they have only seen in history books
That was a century of suffering.
"In this land, the Chen family established their own dynasty, but was overthrown by the Bo family. The Bo family established their own dynasty, but was overthrown by the Qu family. Then came the Wang family, the Zhao family... It will always be a feudal dynasty. You can't expect them to love the Bo family more than the Chen family, the Wang family, and the Zhao family - as long as they are normal dynasty changes, not crazy foreign enemies. Because to them at that time, it was all the same." Yi Wan said softly, "Even if Bo Mingjiang were reborn and given fifty more Zhuge Liangs, would the Bo family dynasty last for thousands of years?"
"… "
"And do you know why those ministers tried their best to stop the prince from going on tour? Because they are greedy for power and don't even want the prince to see what 'reality' is like. The prince's eyes and ears are the pens and ink of the ministers. Working in the imperial city is like playing cards in a house of cards built by them. Bo Jiang, everyone is insignificant."
When Yi Wan said this, Chi Jixia didn't know if she had an illusion: because Yi Wan's eyes looked a little tired.
"… If a person does not feel insignificant and feels that he has the power to save the world, then there is only one reason—he is too arrogant and thinks too highly of himself. He believes that his needs are the needs of the world, and he believes that he is omnipotent. If a person is omnipotent, then he cannot be holy and kind. Because while he thinks highly of himself, he devalues the humanity of others. These human natures are good and bad, but the world is not a standard." Yi Wan said, "Stop talking about those things that can be used to 'show off.' Bo Jiang."
"Do you think there's something wrong with them trusting a northerner, or is it just because - that northerner is Qu Yun?"
Bo Jiang was silent for a long time. Ding Biehan was even more shocked.
He saw that the silk thread wrapped around Bo Jiang's feet had loosened a little.
Just a little.
"So the capital deserved to be slaughtered by the northerners?" Bo Jiang said softly, "Just because..."
He was speechless.
Isn’t what Yi Wan said right
To the common people, the Bo Dynasty was a decadent dynasty that was not worth serving. Just like the Qin Dynasty that destroyed the six kingdoms, the Jin Dynasty that destroyed the Han Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty that destroyed the Tang Dynasty.
But what about his capital
It was a house of cards, a doll house, but he heard those heart-wrenching sounds…
Bo Jiang's head hurt even more, it was excruciating. He felt that he shouldn't remember anything, because he kept telling himself that he came to the modern world immediately after he fell to his death.
"I didn't say the northerners were right. But they are all dead." Yi Wan pressed his shoulder, "I once read a novel that contained this passage."
A father and his child were walking past a cemetery. The child asked: Are the people buried in this cemetery bad people
My father said no.
The child said: Are the people buried in this grave good people
My father said no.
The child said: What is that
My father said: It’s history.
"And what I was talking about was only Qu Yun at that moment." Yi Wan said, "Later, he changed."
Dead silence.
Desperate silence.
Bo Jiang finally said: "But I can't help but hate."
He held his head and put himself on the table. Everyone was terrified because they saw Yi Wan patting Bo Jiang's back, but Bo Jiang had no intention of pushing him away.
What on earth is this doing.
I thought they had a fight.
Yi Wan said, "Bo Jiang, you are better at history than me. So instead of knowing the rise and fall of the royal family, you should know what other people in that dynasty were like, and what other people in each dynasty were like. You are the top scorer in the college entrance examination, and I have a high school diploma."
An Yelin was in a daze: "But I think what you said just now is very cultured..."
A high school diploma, seriously
Chi Jixia said: "Look at you all, you all scared Bie Han."
Look at this masculine girl's eyes, how wide they are.
An Yelin was not frightened by Yi Wan and Bo Jiang's conversation. Instead, it was Chi Jixia's words about Ding Biehan that frightened An Yelin.
"Alright, alright, this is just a normal script discussion, not a quarrel, let's all go." Chi Jixia organized the other two to leave, "Isn't that right, Yi Wan?"
"Yes." Yi Wan said, "Actually what I want to say is."
"Bo Mingjiang is not guilty. If he has a sin, it is that he is too arrogant."
Chi Jixia: "Uh... Is this your understanding of the character?"
He remembered that it was Yi Wan who played Bo Mingjiang.
"But he felt deeply guilty about it," Yi Wan said.
Ding Biehan saw a thread slipping from Bo Jiang's ankle. It waved wildly in the air, but it couldn't wrap around Bo Jiang's ankle again.
…
As the oldest of the three generations of the Bo family, Chi Jixia was very responsible for his son and grandson. He brought a bunch of snacks and drinks to the two of them, repeating the five words "A harmonious family brings prosperity" in his heart.
An Yelin noticed the muscat grapes in his hand and asked him, "Where did you get these grapes?"
Chi Jixia: “I don’t know.”
An Yelin: … It couldn’t be a gift from my suitor.
Chi Jixia washed the fruits for the two people and put one in each person's mouth. After putting it in, he narrowed his eyes and smiled: "You are so good. The more I look at Bo Jiang these days, the more I think she is lovable."
Yi Wan: "The generations are close."
The two of them chuckled together. The only weird thing was that Yi Wan didn't smile, but just made "chuckle" sounds.
Bo Jiang finally started chewing grapes: "Go on." Yi Wan: "Well, are you feeling better?"
No. Bo Jiang thought, he wanted to see how this righteous Qu Yun in the script fell into depravity.
The rest of the story in the script flows smoothly.
Qu Yun knew that he had too little power.
Escaping from the hands of the Zhou Dynasty prince seemed easy, but in fact, he had already used up all his plans. Qu Yun didn't know what caused his impulse. If there hadn't been that last meeting, he could have saved a lot of manpower and resources.
But it doesn't matter. People live in this world to be happy.
He wanted to achieve what he wanted to do. To do this, he needed strong power and an absolutely stable rear base. These were things that the Zhou Dynasty could not give him. So he had to return to the North.
But he couldn't return to the Northland like this.
A lost dog and a phoenix returning to their nest are two different concepts. Human nature is universal. Whether in the Zhou Dynasty or the Northern Kingdom, people will subconsciously choose to trust the party that seems stronger. Trust will bring resources, just as strength will bring resources. In reality, there is almost no bottoming out and rebounding, but snowball-like success is everywhere.
Qu Yun was not in a hurry. He could wait patiently for an opportunity. Everyone thought he was crazy, but he knew that the opportunity would come soon.
Because war always brings many opportunities.
He patiently recruited soldiers and horses, and one of his confidants turned out to be a Zhou Dynasty man who had suffered from corrupt officials - because he believed that Qu Yun could end the war in the Zhou Dynasty.
The opportunity has come.
An army of the Northern Kingdom was trapped in a valley. They were led by a famous nobleman, who panicked when he learned of the danger and fled from the battlefield. Instead, he was beheaded by the opposing leader. His head was hung on a flag in the air, and under the fluttering flag was a horn urging them to surrender.
Nearly 10,000 people were at a loss, running around like headless flies. Qu Yun rushed in with a few guards.
He led them to successfully break out of the encirclement and retreat.
It was a miracle and a heroic act for a few thousand people to break through the encirclement of 30,000 people in an advantageous terrain. After successfully escaping, thousands of people could not believe their eyes, and they could not believe why they had just handed their lives and property to this stranger without reservation and trust.
Perhaps it's because this person has a power that makes people believe in him.
He is the morning star, he is the light.
…Isn’t there such a power in me
Bo Jiang thought.
He turned to the next page, a sarcastic smile escaped his lips.
It finally started.
Qu Yun was not satisfied with the result of this surprise attack, because his military advisor told him, "Qu Yun, you showed mercy."
Yes, he showed mercy. He could have killed more people belonging to the Zhou Dynasty army, but in the end... he didn't.
His momentary weakness even resulted in the deaths of two hundred more Northern troops.
Qu Yun felt that his soul was divided into two people. One person rationally told him that he had to do whatever it takes to accumulate more power as quickly as possible in order to reach the top and practice his own justice. The other person said that those people were the people of the Zhou Dynasty. There was a part of the people of the Zhou Dynasty who believed in you very much. They helped you escape and fought for you.
In order to achieve ultimate justice, is it justifiable to do whatever it takes
In order to achieve ultimate justice, must there be sacrifice
Or perhaps he could comfort himself that this was supposed to be his original position.
The only person who held his hand and encouraged him was the Zhou Dynasty confidant. He said to him, "I believe in you."
He saw Qu Yun's compassion and "kindness", so he trusted him even more.
There were several retreats and military operations. One of the scenes that was highlighted was when Qu Yun faced an opportunity to pursue the victory, but he did not slam the table and shout "surprise attack".
He didn't do it.
After returning to the capital, despite this, Qu Yun had become a miracle in the North. He became a rising star in the North. The nobles who once ignored him now held up their glasses to celebrate with him. His father, who had cruelly sent him to the South as a hostage, patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "A tiger father will not have a dog son."
New mansion, new position. Qu Yun was not dazzled by these, he knew that these were all temporary.
All human attitudes are temporary and impermanent. This power is not enough for him to realize his great dream.
At the celebration banquet, he learned something from the old nobles. Many years ago, the ancestors of the Qu family and the Bo family overthrew the rule of the Chen Dynasty. They finally made a blood alliance and used the river as the boundary. The south of the river was the Zhou Kingdom, and the grassland north of the river was the Northern Kingdom.
It sounds touching.
If bilateral conflicts had not occurred so frequently in the next few hundred years, Zhou people would come to the north to poach, and the north to plunder. In the end, it would be hard to tell who killed more people. The only thing that would be remembered was the blood feud between the two sides.
At the celebration banquet, Qu Yun wondered, did these two people make this alliance because they were really as close as brothers
Or do they know they cannot afford the price of unification
He suddenly thought of Bo Mingjiang again. This prince was a gentleman and gentle. If he had not been born in this era, he would have been a very good monarch.
Due to his mild-mannered character, Bo Mingjiang did not have the determination to unify the world.
Qu Yun shook his head.
Yi Wan: "Uh. Bo Jiang, do you think Bo Mingjiang has a gentle personality?"
Bo Jiang: …
Chi Jixia also looked at him. Bo Jiang always felt that Chi Jixia seemed to be stimulated by something. From just now, Chi Jixia read the script very seriously.
He didn't know that Chi Jixia was saying to the system: "They are arguing so lively, I also want to join in. So, I am working hard to join their future arguments. When the time comes, I can also speak as their elder."
system:…
Chi Jixia: "But their excellence is beyond my imagination."
"You are also very good, Jixia." said the system.
The system has no mouth, but at this moment, it feels that if it had a character image, it would be smiling lightly and relievedly.
It found that it really liked Chi Yixia.
It liked the way Chi Jixia was in high spirits, and the way his eyes sparkled when he talked about drama. It thought Chi Jixia was wrong, and it had never signed a contract with him and stayed by his side out of pity.
Because Chi Yixia is cute.
Very good.
Even though Chi Jixia has never discovered herself, her eyes light up when she talks about acting.
It turns out that what it really wanted to see was Chi Jixia smiling sincerely again for the sake of acting.
Chi Jixia: "Maybe this is what drama addicts are like. Oh. They are really amazing."
Aren't you the same? The system thought.
From this perspective, joining the Rainbow Group has indeed brought him a lot of growth. In the past, would he have thought about these issues
No way!
Thinking of this, Chi Jixia became happy again.
"So this is a boy band! Helping each other and growing together... this is the meaning of forming a boy band!" Chi Jixia murmured, "Each of us has a diverse background, which injects more fresh blood into this boy band!"
Bo Jiang: …
Chi Jixia, why are you yelling so loudly? All the melancholy has been yelled away by you.
"Lukewarm..." Bo Jiang said, "It's hard to say..."
Yi Wan: "That makes sense. I read Bo Mingjiang's fan fiction online, and none of his attributes are labeled as being docile and submissive."
Bo Jiang: …
Bo Jiang: … …
"What is a comrade?" Bo Jiang couldn't help but shout out, "What am I?"
Chi Jixia joined the discussion: "It's not you, it's what your father is!"
Bo Jiang: "Shut up!"
Chi Jixia: "Shut up, dad? I'm Yi Wan's dad!"
Yi Wan did not participate in the performance of the two crosstalk actors. He held up the screen and said: "A gentle bottom or a cold top or a proud top or a sick top or a dark top or a domineering top..."
Bo Jiang was even more confused: "Are these adjectives synonyms?"
For example, gentle and domineering seem to be incompatible together.
Yi Wan: "That's how fan fiction works. There are countless variations of characters depending on the genre. It's very versatile."
Bo Jiang: …
He flipped through Yi Wan's phone and soon his face turned red and he was stunned: "Is this their interpretation of history?"
Why am I kissing my subject
Why am I kissing a woman I don't know
Why am I kissing Qu Yun
Why I...
Kissing my brother?!
There's no way I could kiss my brother!
Yi Wan: "Let's read the script first. I shouldn't show you this..."
Bo Jiang: …
Yi Wan: "So Bo Mingjiang will unify the world?"
"… I don't know." Bo Jiang finally said calmly, "Rather than being tepid, it's better to say that he's self-righteous."
A noble person will not stoop down to do things.
I will not do anything that may cause controversy, but I will do it despite opposition.
Yi Wan: "Hmm... Qinggao, what else?"
"I'm already aloof, what else can I have?" Bo Jiang smiled bitterly, "Aloof people have nothing."
Yi Wan: "Not necessarily. Being noble is always brighter than being mean."
Bo Jiang could only reply by flipping through the book.
Chi Jixia wondered what the two were talking about. He wanted to bring them to his home turf at night, but he also felt that he could no longer rely on the golden finger.
This was his goal when he grew up, wasn't it
However, Yi Wan's talk about fan fiction got him thinking. How about pulling him into the fan fiction world
Pulling them into the fan world doesn't count as cheating in acting, right
While he was thinking, Bo Jiang had quickly flipped through the history of Qu Yun's rise to wealth in the North.
It is not so easy to make a fortune in the North. No matter how much preparation Qu Yun made, he could not change the fact that he was a prince without a mother clan.
But he is very smart. The class system in the North has been solidified for a long time, and new forces are ready to move, looking for a leader. The old nobles will grow old, and the young soldiers like him. They are the foundation of his survival.
"... idiot." Bo Jiang said softly, "Or maybe I am the idiot."
How could Qu Yun not understand? He thought, how could one person tame a group of young wolves
The younger people are, the more ambitious they are to fight for the pieces of meat.
The North’s cake has been divided up, so where will Qu Yun find the meat to feed the young generation he is trying to win over
war.
Only war.
There is an icy wasteland to the north, the sea to the east, and miasma to the west, so where else can they go
The south.
Of course it is to the south where Bo Mingjiang is.
All of this was too reasonable. So reasonable that it made people feel pity. Bo Mingjiang refused to admit that he also felt pity for others—for example, Qu Yun. How could he feel pity for Qu Yun? This was all a script. He didn't believe that Qu Yun had noble ideals, did he
He thought he was just feeling sorry for himself.
So naturally there would be conflicts. The same young noble son, even more arrogant, was also good at fighting. He led his troops to the south and won a lot of military merit.
Because he had no scruples, he burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil.
But this is the wolf pack that the North needs!
Feeling threatened, the old nobles began to support the noble son and took action against Qu Yun. From ancient times to the present, the best place to make a raft is loyalty.
Why not kill.
Why not a surprise attack.
Why not grab it.
You have feelings for the Zhou Dynasty, right or not
The limelight was stolen, even though he was better than him. Qu Yun's confidant Zhou Chao comforted him and praised him. Qu Yun waved goodbye to him, and sat alone at the table, sweeping away the inkstone with his hand.
He looked at his distorted face in the bronze mirror. Qu Yun knew why he was angry.
Not just to be outshined by that noble boy.
It's not just because of the ridicule and doubt.
But because.
He couldn't deny that in his heart, he really wanted to shout "surprise attack".
He wanted to prove his merit, he wanted to surpass the man who came later. He could do it, he was the strongest wolf on the grassland!
Those Zhou Dynasty people became blurred in his eyes. He suddenly remembered.
When he was young in the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, he was bullied by the noble children of the Zhou Dynasty, wasn't he
When he was wandering in the Zhou Dynasty as a young man, he was almost chopped up and eaten by that couple, right
Later, he met Bo Mingjiang... the prince who was as bright as the moon in everyone's heart, but he didn't even recognize himself, right
The Zhou Dynasty had done so many wrongs to him, so what was wrong with him making such a small sacrifice for the greater good
On the road to glory, there will always be studying abroad and making sacrifices!
For Qu Yun at that time, it was just a fleeting delusion.
But later on, there were more and more moments when I had to face "delusions" and make choices.
Qu Yun told himself that he shouldn't do this. Those confidants or guards who came from the Zhou Dynasty to follow him risked their lives for him and did their best for his kindness. They believed that the prince of the Northern Kingdom who was willing to snatch disaster relief food for the people of the Zhou Dynasty and was almost imprisoned would not be a bad person.
But gradually, under heavy pressure, he felt only tired of the praise and comfort from Zhou Chao's confidants.
Even boredom.
They were like shackles that bound him and made it hard for him to breathe.
“…A wolf cannot taste blood. Once it has tasted blood, it is no longer a dog.”
Bo Jiang said softly.
Chi Jixia, who was reading the script, said: "You called Qu Yun a dog. You hate her so much, my baby."
Bo Jiang: …
Yi Wan could see that Chi Jixia knew that Bo Jiang was talking about Qu Yun’s inflated power, but Chi Jixia still wanted to tease Bo Jiang.
He looked down at Bo Jiang's ankle.
In fact, Yi Wan had been trying hard to resist the urge to run away from this table.
Because he saw the colorless silk thread wrapped around Bo Jiang's ankles.
Several of them were waving around the ankles like a deep-sea anemone looking to eat.
He pressed his ankles together, trying not to touch them.
So under layer upon layer of pressure that needs no elaboration, the story takes a turn.
At first, during a battle, one of his guards brought from the Zhou Dynasty secretly sent a message home.
Qu Yun knew that there was nothing in the letter, and he also knew that some northerners in the army had long been dissatisfied with the guard and were just looking for a reason to torture him.
But he also knew.
This guard was the last to join the Zhou Dynasty. He was taciturn, kept to himself, and had a bad relationship with other Zhou Dynasty people.
The only person who accompanied him was a confidant of the Zhou Dynasty. But he knew that the matter was serious and did not dare to speak rashly.
So Qu Yun said, "Take him away."
attack.
Then say.
"Launch a surprise attack."
Qu Yun never knew that these four words could make people feel so good, better than any climax in the world, like a flame finally bursting out of a cold iron pipe. He had a torrent of cavalry and a huge army, and now he could finally use this incident as a starting point to march towards the Zhou Dynasty.
Then he did not pat Zhou Chao's confidant on the shoulder. He knew that he should not pat him at this time.
He wanted to make him feel guilty and make him think that it was the "betrayed" Zhou Dynasty guard who caused this consequence. If he was cold enough, they would become more uneasy.
A group of restless people have no fighting power.
He would not let anyone know: he had wanted to fire that shot a long time ago.
And the feeling of firing a gun.
It feels great.
But that's not enough.
"Everything I do is for our greatest dream," he told himself. "Without enough power, how can we realize the ideal reality we want to achieve?"
He felt that his idea was absolutely right.
…
Then, it was a logical story. It was Qu Yun's life, and also the history of an entire generation.
The development of desire is like a domino effect. Once the first domino is pushed down, there is no reason to stop.
If a person can dedicate one thing to "dream" and "justice" today, then there will never be a day when this "dedication" stops. In order to accumulate capital to achieve justice, Qu Yun did a lot of things.
The greater the ability, the greater the difficulty. The contradictions between the noble groups in the north are still sharp, and the people in the north still need to be saved. They need water and grass, rice fields, spring-like weather all year round and warm and ice-free ports in winter. The war on the border has never stopped.
Qu Yun occasionally heard about Bo Mingjiang. He knew that he was a very good prince.
That is why he must die.
Bo Mingjiang's death was also the price to be paid for "justice".
If he wasn't good enough, he could let him go... just like he let his third brother go.
But he tried not to think about it. At that time, he had not yet realized what Bo Mingjiang's death would mean to him. The words "launch a surprise attack" had been called so many times that even "burn, kill, and rob" had become a numb term.
There is no other way. Without supply lines, how can there be a successful war? The Zhou Dynasty had such a large territory. How could the Northern Kingdom transport military rations to the Zhou Dynasty capital if it relied on itself
So this is all a stopgap measure for the sake of "justice".
Cities far from the imperial city were in disarray. No matter how powerful Bo Mingjiang was, he could not save a completely corrupt empire with a complex network of old forces in a short period of time. Qu Yun's attack was effortless, and he even disciplined his soldiers to not embarrass the common people.
If you want to kill, kill the wealthy people or officials.
The closer to the imperial city, the stronger the resistance. Later, who lost to whom, who killed whom, has become a thick book of blood debt. Therefore, all kinds of "revenge" are "excusable".
Dances with Wolves is like that.
Finally, after traveling through thousands of miles of barren land, they arrived at the foot of the imperial city.
The place where Qu Yun lived when he was a teenager.
Qu Yun looked at the imperial city in the distance. Dark clouds were pressing down on the city, and it seemed as if it was about to be destroyed. When he came here as a child, he thought it was very big. Now, it still looked as majestic as before. It was just that this empire had grown old.
Old things should not exist anymore.
His grand dream, his blueprint, and the justice of eliminating starvation in the world that he upholds will be put into practice with this city as the center!
He knew that his men were excited and angry. The city's tenacious resistance was beyond their imagination. Hot oil, rolling stones, wooden stakes, day and night, the water in the moat was also boiled and bubbling. Qu Yun met his childhood friend Bo Mingyuan once outside the imperial city - this was the last time. They had met many times when he was in exile in the Zhou Dynasty and even before the war broke out. This time Bo Mingyuan couldn't control himself. He roared loudly, asking him if the information he had leaked to him before helped his Zhou Dynasty's attack, and asked him whose token he had borrowed to trick him into the suburbs.
Qu Yun knew that Bo Mingyuan was a gentleman who loved calligraphy and painting, and was simpler than his brother. So he, who hated bullying, let him go as a hostage out of justice... Maybe there was also some affection. He would not tell him that the token was taken by his third brother, Bo Mingyue. It was really strange that Bo Mingyuan and Bo Mingjiang would have such a cowardly brother.
He only said, since you saved my life when I was young, I will let you live a comfortable life after the establishment of the new dynasty.
He didn't say anything else.
For example, Bo Mingjiang. Qu Yun admired him, and that was why he wanted him to die as soon as possible. He had already planted spies in the imperial city, and even Bo Mingyue was helping him to shake Bo Mingjiang's mood.
Now it's an ambush from all sides.
Bo Mingjiang seemed to be righteous, but he did not live up to his righteousness. So he could only die. If Bo Mingjiang was not so outstanding... that would be fine.
But his death will bring a better future! This is the sacrifice that should be made for the dream.
Bo Mingyuan was still roaring. Qu Yun suddenly remembered that the prince who organized the resistance didn't know that he had met him once.
He suddenly felt that before attacking the Bo family’s royal city, he wanted to see Bo Mingjiang again.
Say one more word.
Even in his script, it was already written that Bo Mingjiang would die.
