Part Three, Chapter Thirteen, Hiding the Knife in a Smile 5
[69 Book Bar - www.] He Butian suddenly flashed a murderous look in his eyes and stood up. I have only fought against Henry Ding in the seven days. In terms of marksmanship, I can't beat Henry Ding much. These six people
Not as good as Henry Ding, but combined they must be much more powerful than me. I didn't believe they would really do anything to me, but when I saw He Butian like this, I felt a chill in my heart, and I couldn't help but regret that I shouldn't have spoken so harshly.
Just as He Butian was about to say something, a man suddenly screamed outside the door, and Tang Kai shouted: "General Chu, are you okay?"
We shouted a few words in the room, and Tang Kai must have heard something wrong downstairs. He was also a bit too impulsive. I was just about to say I was fine when there was a "bang" on the door, and there was a hole.
, a hand came in and opened the door.
It was Tang Kai who was standing outside the door. He pressed the knife with one hand and clasped the thumb of his left hand in the palm of his hand, which was exactly the stance of Zhan Tiefen. When he opened the door and saw me standing there, he was shocked and said: "Control.
, are you okay?"
I said: "It's okay. Tang Kai, let's go." After saying that, I bowed my hands to them and said: "You all have different paths and don't want to conspire with each other. I'll take my leave." Although I said the words, I didn't feel uneasy in my heart.
, I’m really not sure whether they dare to take action or not.
At this time, Henry Ding's voice suddenly came from the corridor outside: "Brother Chu, what happened?"
His face was full of astonishment. He must not have expected that He Butian and I would break up so quickly. I said, "Brother Ding, I have to say goodbye. I take my best wishes."
Henry Ding took my hand and said, "Don't worry, come on, come on, have a word with me."
When he took my hand, his heart was wide open. If he really wanted to take action, I could kill him with my sword. He had no power to fight back. But seeing him so calm, I hesitated a little. At this time
Henry Ding said to He Butian: "Brother He, please go downstairs and wait. I'm afraid Brother Chu may have a misunderstanding with us."
I only thought that He Butian would always retort, but unexpectedly he just nodded and said to others: "Let's go out." After that, he walked out proudly. In the blink of an eye, the originally crowded room was empty. Tang Kai was still there
Standing at the door, neither coming in nor going out, his right hand still pressed on the handle of the knife.
Henry Ding sat down and said, "Brother Chu, what happened?"
He spoke very gently, and it was hard for me to lose my temper with him, so I said: "Brother Ding, just now Brother He asked me to stay in Wuyang City, otherwise he would take action. Is this the way of hospitality in Wuyang City? That's true.
Fresh."
Henry Ding seemed to ignore the sarcasm in my words. He pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Chu, although we are new friends, we hit it off right away. There is something I want to ask you, and please tell me frankly, okay?"
?”
I said: "Please tell me."
"Brother Chu, which one do you think is more beneficial to the people, the republican system or the imperial system?"
I didn't expect him to ask such a big question, so I was stunned and sighed: "If I insist on saying that the people of the empire are happier, it would be a lie. Although I haven't traveled much to Wuyang City, what I saw with my eyes is,
All the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is more peaceful than the imperial capital."
Henry Ding was also startled, with a smile on his face: "General Chu is indeed broad-minded and has a far-sighted vision. So, compared with the city lord He or the emperor, which one is more loved by the people?"
It was a bit difficult to answer this. I thought about it and said: "The emperor is respected by all the people and is the lord of the world. The Lord of the City is also humble and very loved by the people of the city. However, for me, the emperor is my lord.
City Lord He is just the leader of friendly forces."
Henry Ding said: "Of course, it's hard for Brother Chu to answer this. But to be fair, if you could choose, would you rather live in the Imperial Capital or Wuyang City?"
I said: "Brother Ding is being honest, and I won't hide it from you. If I could choose, then I might be willing to stay in Wuyang City." Seeing what Henry Ding was about to say, I continued, "It's just
, Brother Ding, there are some things that should not be explained to outsiders, I have no choice, I was born in the empire."
Henry Ding said: "Why don't you have a choice? The road is walked by people. Which way you want to take is all up to you. Brother Chu, with your talents, if you stay in Wuyang City, you will be able to contribute more to the people of the world."
I sighed and said, "Maybe. It's just that I'm not just walking on this road. I can only walk on it with them."
Henry Ding said: "What if the road you take is just a road of no return and you will hit a wall one day?"
I can no longer answer this. Of course I understand what Henry Ding said. In my heart, I also feel that the monarchy should be greatly changed. Just as the princess told me at the time, the republic is a way to heal the empire.
Prescription medicine is not the only medicine. I said: "If I want to hit a wall, then I will break through the wall and create a bright road!"
Henry Ding smiled slightly and said: "But in that case, why didn't you take the broad road earlier?"
I said: "General Ding, do you think republicanism is a broad road?"
Henry Ding said: "The so-called republic means that all people in the world govern the world together. The leader is a leader. If you have virtue, you will occupy it. If you don't, you will retreat. Everything is based on the people. How can it not be called a prosperous road?"
I sighed and said: "Everything makes sense in theory, but it is not the same in practice. General Ding, the Republican Army is about putting people first and putting people first. When we were besieged in Gaojiu City,
In order to relieve the suffering of food shortage, why not kill people for food? When Cang Yue Gong was in great power, he destroyed Shihu City and
He also buried alive 20,000 imperial defenders. General Ding, the sun and moon are selfless, shining in all directions. Those who do not follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. People who are not mine will not be respected, and people who are not mine will not be the foundation.
Well, in the final analysis, this is actually empty talk, it is just to win over public opinion in order to realize ambitions."
By the end of the sentence, I was already a little angry. Although deep down I felt that the two words "people first, people first" that the Republican Army talked about were not wrong, but how the Republican Army did it is another matter.
In my opinion, whether it is the Empire or the Republic, they are actually the same, but the words they say are slightly different.
I felt a little heavy-handed when I said this, and I couldn't help but feel a little regretful. At least Henry Ding hadn't broken up with me yet. If these words offended him, I wouldn't have any good fruit to eat. But having said it, there are
What can I do? But looking at Henry Ding’s look, his eyes were a little more confused, and he seemed to have no intention of getting angry. I was waiting for him to refute me, but he thought for a long time, suddenly sighed, and said: “Maybe you
That’s right.”
I didn't expect him to say that, and I didn't know how to proceed. At this time, someone outside the door shouted: "Oh, what happened? The door is broken!" But it was the waiter who brought the dishes, presumably
Seeing that the door was opened by Tang Kai, Tang Kai stood at the door, puzzled.
