He Kui smiled coldly, turned around and didn't say anything.
Chu Huan walked to the table and sat down. There was tea on the table. Chu Huan actually poured the tea himself and pushed the tea cup to He Kui. He said calmly: "I'm tired for days, but I'm afraid I'm dry. I'm afraid you have a lot to say in your heart. How about moistening your throat first?"
"What else can I say to you?" He Kui snorted coldly, glanced at Chu Huan, and said, "If Hu Zongmao hadn't been stupid, I'm afraid your life is not easy now."
Chu Huan smiled faintly and said, "I don't look at the process when doing things, I only look at the results. It's me who wins, so there are some things that don't need to be said more."
He Kui sneered again and said, "Since you don't have to say much, why do you have to come to see me again?"
"Because someone is still in a dream, I feel it is necessary to wake him up." Chu Huan sighed, "I know your thoughts very well, rebelling against the Qin Dynasty and changing dynasties... It's a pity that you are well-read, but you are just a pedantic person."
He Kui was surprised by Chu Huan's thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "What did you say?"
"Of course you know the Tianmen Dao." Chu Huan poured himself a cup of tea, tasted it, and said slowly: "As far as I know, there are many people in the Tianmen Dao that were the remnants of Taiping Dao at that time. They dare not show their power to others, so they can only change their appearance and put the Tianmen Dao as the banner. However, the new bottle of old wine, Tianmen Dao's trick to deceive the people is still shouting to build a peaceful world...!" He glanced at He Kui and asked, "Do you think Tianmen Dao really wants peace in the world?"
He Kui frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Although Tianmen Dao resisted the tyrant Qin, he had done some tricks. I heard that they asked the people to worship Taishang Laojun, claiming that Taishang Laojun is about to come to the world. Tianmen Dao disciples want to establish a peaceful world before Taishang Laojun comes to the world. When Taishang Laojun comes to the world, all Tianmen Dao disciples can live forever and enjoy eternal life...!" He snorted coldly, and actually clenched his fists, with an angry look in his eyes, "What immortality? I have read so many books, but I know that many people have been seeking immortality throughout the ages, but there is no one who can truly immortality..."
Chu Huan smiled and said, "It seems you are not too confused yet."
"The Heavenly Sect Dao is naturally not a good thing to bewitch the people." He Kui glanced at Chu Huan, "But this Great Qin Empire is more hateful than the Heavenly Sect Dao..."
"Actually, when it comes to Tianmen Dao, I have no other intentions." Chu Huan sighed and said, "You are dissatisfied with the Qin Empire and hope that a better court will replace it. Then I really want to ask you about it. In your heart, what kind of court is a good court?"
"The country is rich and the people are strong, and the people live and work in peace and contentment." He Kui said without hesitation.
Chu Huan smiled bitterly: "During ancient times, many people with lofty ideals have hoped to see such a country, but no country can continue to be rich and strong... He Kui, do you think that if the Qin Empire collapses and a court reappears, this country will definitely be rich and strong? Just like Tianmendao, they are under the banner of peace in the world. Do you think that if they have a foothold, they can really give the people a peaceful world?"
He Kui immediately said: "Of course, the way of heaven cannot do it."
"Okay!" Chu Huan nodded and said, "Who do you think can?"
He Kui was stunned, thoughtful, pondered for a long time, and finally said, "The true emperor will always appear."
"You are just a kind of expectation." Chu Huan sighed: "What if the newly built court is worse than now? Do you know that all the dynasties have changed, the world is in chaos, and the people who are suffering are still the people. In the final analysis, you are just hoping that the people will live a good life and that you can have the people in your heart. I admire them very much, but while you hope that the people will live a stable and peaceful life, you think about resisting the Qin Dynasty and establishing a peaceful world through bloodshed that you cannot even be sure of whether you can achieve. He Kui, ask yourself, is the path you are walking really right?"
He Kui sneered: "You don't have to talk about the great truth here. Some things require blood and sacrifice. Qin has become rotten to the core, just like a mountain pressing on the backs of the people. This mountain must be pushed down."
"Then I tell you that when this mountain falls, another mountain will be pressed down. Throughout history, the dynasty has changed, it is nothing more than a new group of people, but this mountain has never changed." Chu Huan said slowly: "Today, I open my heart and say these words to you, just to tell you that when we cannot see the future that is too far away and cannot determine what the future path is, and we have the people in our hearts, there is only one way to go."
“What road?”
"Do your best to make the people live a little better." Chu Huan said slowly: "I can't control Guanzhong, and I can't control the entire northwest, but since I am the governor of Xiguan, I hope I can make the people of Xiguan live a better life...!" His eyes became deeper, he thought, pondered for a while, and finally said softly: "I think I will do my best to make their wounds heal, and I will do my best to defend their lives..."
He Kui's expression became complicated. He turned to look at Chu Huan. Chu Huan's expression was very calm. He Kui pondered for a moment and finally asked: "Why do you want to tell me this?"
"Maybe I feel that some things are similar to you." Chu Huan smiled faintly, got up, and was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Hezhou needs to recover its vitality, and the people must live and work in peace and contentment. Huang Yutan told me that you can let the people of Hezhou heal their wounds. I came to persuade you, hoping that you can do your part, but I suddenly thought that there are some things that don't need to be forced to do. You read more books than me, and you should have more knowledge of the truth than me. What should I do? What should I do? If you want to leave, I will ask someone to prepare a horse and enough dry food for you. Now I will say goodbye to you."
After Chu Huan said this, he was not too jealous. He bowed his hand, turned around and walked to the gate. He Kui suddenly asked, "Did you say you want to defend the lives of the people of Xiguan?"
"Of course!" Chu Huan did not look back, "I am the Governor of Xiguan, and I should have let them live a good life and protect their lives."
"Shuoquan once said that you are going to implement the Mutual Field Order?" He Kui said slowly: "Do you know that the Mutual Field Order is not as easy as you think?"
Chu Huan turned around and asked, "Which do you think is easier than to overthrow the Qin Empire?"
He Kui thought for a while and finally said, "What would you do if someone wanted to take away the lives of the people of Xiguan?"
"I have set an example." Chu Huan said lightly: "Hu Zongmao raised his troops to rebel. I want to destroy him, not only because he raised his troops to rebel against the Qin Dynasty, but because he caused trouble to Xiguan. On the land of Xiguan, no one can do anything wrong, and no one is qualified to destroy the construction of Xiguan. Anyone who stands up and fights me has only one way to die. Either he dies or I die!"
He Kui stood up and said solemnly: "Can you guarantee that your words are your oath?"
"I seldom swear." Chu Huan smiled indifferently, "If this sentence is a vow, it is better to say it is a belief, and I will never change my belief."
It was already dusk, and Chu Huan came to a yard and saw the bronze masked man wiping his sword in the yard at a glance.
There were stone tables and stone chairs in the yard. A man with a bronze mask sat on the stone chair and wiped the already shiny blade with a clean cloth towel. The knife drank a lot of blood last night, but it was nowhere to be seen.
"You attach great importance to this knife." Chu Huan walked over and sat down opposite the bronze masked man.
The man in bronze mask raised his head, looked at Chu Huan with his eyes under the mask, and sighed: "This is the sword given to me by the general. For me, he is by my side, just wait for General Rushi to be by my side."
"If General Yu knew that you had always cared about him, he would be very pleased. If he knew that you had endured humiliation and had not lost his reputation, he would be very happy." Chu Huan said slowly: "Xu Shao, it is really difficult for you to be unyielding in adversity."
This bronze masked man was suddenly Xu Shao, who was excluded from the Pingxi Army by Dongfang Xin.
Xu Shao was a confidant general under Yu Buqu. As one of the four generals of the Qin Empire, Yu Buqu made great contributions and naturally had a low vision. Those who could be favored by him and valued were naturally not ordinary people.
"It doesn't matter whether it's difficult or not." Xu Shao shook his head and said, "The general once told me that a real man can bend and stretch. From the beginning, I knew that Dongfang Xin would definitely attack me, but I didn't expect that his attack would be so fast and his methods would be so despicable." He paused and clenched his fists. "He used my name to ask Hou Mo and others to transport grain. Who knew that the grain warehouse was privately owned? Hou Mo and others did not know the inside story. After taking the grain from the private grain warehouse, they were immediately caught by the soldiers who had been ambushed by Dongfang Xin, slandering them for robbing the people's food... Hehe, this move is really inferior."
Chu Huan asked, "Is Hou Mo your subordinate?"
"He joined the army with me." Xu Shao explained: "As close as brothers, half of the people who were transferred to collect food from Dongfang Xin joined the army with me. They were friends with me for life. They slandered them, and naturally pointed the finger at me."
Chu Huan nodded and said, "As far as I know, Hou Mo and others were taken to the execution ground and almost executed."
"It's true." Xu Shao sighed: "Duke Chu, if it were you, would you watch Hou Mo and the others be wronged to death?"
"I will go on the same path as you." Chu Huan did not hesitate, but just sighed lightly.
Xu Shao had a smile in his eyes, "So I ordered the five hundred brothers around me and went to the robbery of the Dharma field."
"These five hundred cavalry are certainly not ordinary cavalry." Chu Huan looked at Xu Shao's eyes, "Their combat effectiveness on the battlefield really makes me amazed."
"Of course, Chu Duke knew General Feng Han Xiao Feng's Thirteenth Taibao." Xu Shao said slowly: "The Thirteenth Taibao is famous all over the world. It is a powerful weapon around General Feng and is also the most trusted personal guard of General Feng."—
