Chapter 5 of Episode 38: It’s Hard to Do Good, Heroes Are Helpless
The questions and answers between Lu Feiyang and Yuan Chenfeng completely made Sun Wu crazy. Before this, he had always thought that the war of the Alliance was progressing smoothly. Although there were obstacles, they were gradually overcome. Generally speaking, he was still very optimistic. , but the brief conversation between Yuan Chenfeng and Lu Feiyang gave him the feeling of a bolt from the blue, and he was completely unable to understand... He could not even imagine these things happening.26nbsp;
The Tongmenghui does not get the support of the people? How is this possible? The Tongmenghui does not fight for its own interests. From before, it has been an organization known for its chivalrous name and upright image, especially in the hands of Yuan Chenfeng. It is completely people-oriented and will never infringe on the interests of the people. Logically speaking, the people of China should rush to support, contribute manpower and material resources, and contribute to the great cause of overthrowing tyranny. How could it be...
I saw that scene in the woods before. Although I lamented the ugliness of human nature, the same rice feeds all kinds of people. With so many people in the world, it is not surprising that there will always be those who are greedy for life and afraid of death. But Yuan Chenfeng just said it himself, this is not Individual cases, there are many similar situations, and this cannot be taken lightly.
Obviously, Yuan Chenfeng did not understand why this phenomenon occurred, and I am afraid that a large part of his anger in the woods came from the suppression and shock of a series of similar incidents. So, Lu Feiyang knew the reason ?
"...Tell me, why did you start this war?"
Faced with Lu Feiyang's question, Yuan Chenfeng almost didn't think about it and said: "My mentor taught me that the purpose of the Alliance's existence is to support the righteousness of the world, eliminate violence and peace, and fight against all unreasonableness and injustice. The tyranny of the Dawu Dynasty, so we... …”
"So what do you think? Did he tell you that you must raise an army to revolt?"
"This... is to eliminate violence and bring peace to peace. The biggest source of chaos in Middle-earth is currently the Wu Dynasty. Wu Canglan's cruelty and love of killing are hopeless. The only feasible way is to raise troops to overthrow him."
"Oh, in order to eliminate violence and bring peace to society, you have to raise an army to revolt? Then your master asked you to definitely eliminate violence and bring peace to society?"
Lu Feiyang's voice was always so lazy, as if he was teasing others. Even Yuan Chenfeng, who had such high self-control, was made to blush. However, he tried his best to restrain his anger and said: "I want to be a Shouldn’t a good person put an end to violence and stick to the right path?”
"Oh? Did your master ask you to be a good person?"
As soon as these words came out, not only Yuan Chenfeng, but also Sun Wu felt a surge of anger rushing to his forehead. Originally, he thought that Lu Feiyang's continuous questions must have some deep meaning, but after listening to several questions, this was simply (chicken) He was so picky and looking for faults that he even had the urge to rush up and slap the man hard several times.
However, the anger did not come out after all. Lu Feiyang turned his head sideways and glanced at Sun Wu. The moment their eyes met, Sun Wu suddenly felt like a breeze was blowing over his body. His whole body seemed to be deflated, and his anger was gone. Wu trace, although he knew what Lu Feiyang had done, he couldn't resist at all.
"Well, I've gone too far. It turns out that I'm not suitable for education..." Lu Feiyang sighed, sat up straight, and said sternly to Yuan Chenfeng: "I just want to remind you, are you really ready? ?Have you fully realized how heavy it is to be a good person?"
Yuan Chenfeng said: "Follow your conscience and don't do anything that goes against your conscience... This is what my master told me before... Will it be difficult?"
Lu Feiyang smiled and said: "Whether it is difficult or not depends on the situation. Don't forget that the person who said this to you eventually became an anti-social hermit living in isolation. You follow your conscience and don't do anything that goes against your conscience.
It's not difficult, but what do you want others to do? Talk about conscience with you? Then I suggest you stop making revolution and go on a missionary mission to purify people's hearts. The chances of success may be higher."
Hearing this, Yuan Chenfeng vaguely captured some information, the anger on his face disappeared, he returned to calmness, and replied cautiously: "I know that just talking about conscience is not enough to achieve great things, so I also use it to benefit those who are willing to follow me.
, I ensure that their existing interests are not infringed upon, and provide sufficient new benefits. I believe that the path I follow is not a daydreaming ideal, let alone a high-profile one."
"...I have to say that the new generation is really better than the old ones. Xiao Wu's slowness, shocking the world, and ghosts are far better than mine. And you... Chen Feng, you take both reality and ideals into consideration in your work, and you are far from your master."
What was possible back then, if you had been born a generation earlier and caught up with the Taiping War, with a companion like you, Ximen would have been much easier."
Lu Feiyang smiled, there was no sarcasm in his tone, but he was full of regret, "Unfortunately, the concept and direction are correct, but the practice is not enough. If you just want to be a martial arts supreme, these benefits are more than enough. If you want to overthrow tyranny, just make do.
Maybe it's okay
Success, but you have to push a good person to the top... Obviously, it is not enough. Besides, manpower is sometimes poor, and the benefits you can give are the same... Don't forget, what you have is just gold and silver, not boundless.
A sea of gold cannot buy the world.”
Yuan Chenfeng acted thoughtfully and paid attention to every detail. When he first raised his troops, he positioned the war as "to benefit the people of the world and eliminate violence." He not only strived for profits for all people, but also strictly prohibited the exploitation of the people during the crusade. He was confident
able
It was enough to avoid the mistakes of the predecessors and reach a height that even Ximen Zhuyu could not reach back then. However, since the war started, the indifferent attitude of the people has greatly disappointed him. Hearing Lu Feiyang's words again, he can't help but feel disappointed.
Many pictures passed through my mind, and the most impressive one was a meeting between me and my master at the beginning of raising troops...
At that time, his master met him on top of a cliff, surrounded by clouds and mist. Apart from his master and his apprentice, he could hardly see anything a few meters away. However, he reported to his master that all preparations had been completed, although it was not in the most ideal state.
, but the court has sent troops to Cihang Jingdian Palace. The time has come and it is the best opportunity to raise troops.
'Really? More than ten years have passed...this day has finally come...'
The master's tone was full of exhaustion, even a little absent-minded. Over the years, the master has always been like this. Originally, it was not his turn to interfere, but the matter of raising troops was of great importance and was not a trivial matter. I wanted to confirm it again.
When he raised his head, he saw the clouds and mist drifting away, and there was a mist in front of his eyes. Not to mention the master's expression, even his figure was somewhat unclear.
'What should happen, let happen.'
There was only such a sound in the clouds and mist, and soon everything was completely covered in the clouds and mist. This was Yuan Chenfeng's memory. At that time, he was too anxious and rushed to prepare everything. Speaking of which, he was indeed
I didn't get a positive answer from Master...
When he thought of this, Yuan Chenfeng was suddenly startled, "Could it be that...Master doesn't actually agree with the uprising? Is he opposed to this war?"
This sudden conclusion not only surprised Yuan Chenfeng himself, but even Sun Wu was frightened and jumped up. If Lu Yunqiao really did not agree to launch this war, everything was just Yuan Chenfeng's own initiative. I am afraid no one can afford the serious consequences.
If word spreads, the Alliance's army may completely collapse overnight.
Fortunately, Lu Feiyang quickly explained, "Hey, how did you come to this conclusion? Isn't it too ridiculous? Although your master is an asshole, he is not such an asshole. What he promised,
He won’t deny it…”
Seeing that both Yuan Chenfeng and Sun Wu were confused, Lu Feiyang coughed twice and said: "I am telling you this to remind you that before everything gets out of control, are you... ready?
"
Sun Wu frowned and said: "Uncle Lu, Brother Yuan's preparations for food, grass, weapons and so on are not enough, but he is still preparing as much as possible. He knows it even if you don't tell him. There is no need to talk in such a roundabout way, right? It doesn't sound like it."
Reminder, it’s more like swearing.”
"What state a warrior can reach has a great relationship with his own thinking. Xiao Wu, you don't want to think too much, you just keep your head down and practice. It is a miracle that you can practice to the state you are today.
Lu Feiyang looked at Yuan Chenfeng with a smile. The latter vaguely guessed that this "preparation" refers not to material things, but to spiritual mentality, but what it is, he can't say for the moment.
"...Sir, please clarify."
"With your intelligence, you shouldn't have thought of this answer. Maybe... it's your personality that makes your thinking blind." Lu Feiyang shook his head and said, "Let me ask you, why did you start this war?"
Lu Feiyang had asked this question at the beginning, and it sounded like he was looking for trouble. Now that he asked it again, Sun and Yuan naturally felt completely different.
After thinking for a moment, Sun Wu still felt at a loss, but Yuan Chenfeng was shocked all over, with a look of horror in his eyes. However, he stood there for a long time, still not daring to speak.
"Well, it seems that I have grasped something. In the affairs of the world, too much is too much, and neither is good. Being cruel and easy to kill, and eating the common people will not last long, but it is also very dangerous to be too idealistic and ignore the reality.
. Ordinary righteous people usually rise up to save the world and benefit the people, but... no matter how boring they are, they usually don’t ask the rescued people if they want to be rescued before they rise up."
Lu Feiyang smiled and said: "So, there will inevitably be some problems, especially when someone who wants to save someone reaches out and is knocked down, the blow is not ordinary. If the will is not strong enough, there is no way out.
In the end, ideal young people who want to change the world and make people in the world live a better life can die a dozen times every second, but there are very few who actually have the ability to practice. The key to this is
Are you ready to bear these blows and move on?"
"I'm not the kind of person who has never seen the world and will be shaken by a few blows."
"But you obviously haven't thought about that problem clearly...Tsk, I'll just say it."
Lu Feiyang put his hand on his waist, looked straight at Yuan Chenfeng, and said: "Are you ready to face that those people you want to save and benefit may not accept your kindness at all. When you are so worried,
Sometimes, they will only sneer and pull your back? Don’t even think about the difficulties of the community and the support behind you, occasionally...or often
, will stab you in the back, and they will not tell you about the bright future, which is too far away; they will not understand that you are fighting for them, they will only look at who has the biggest fist, and then go in that direction... because when it comes to
In the end, they are simply a group of short-sighted people who bully good and fear evil, and are ignorant. Are you prepared to go through life and death for them?"
These words were like thunderbolts, which shocked Sun Wu. He had always believed that he could be called a chivalrous man by following his conscience, acting with a clear conscience, not being afraid of coercion, and being a man with all his heart. However, he never thought that when
The hero had to make these mental preparations before. Facing these questions, Sun Wu felt like he was about to suffocate. He couldn't answer. I wonder how Yuan Chenfeng is doing?
"I believe... not all people are like this. The phenomenon you mentioned certainly exists, but..." Yuan Chenfeng said: "That is only a part of everyone, not the majority."
"Yes, I also admit that not everyone is like this, but even if it is a few people, when this kind of thing happens repeatedly, once, twice, three times... it can still make you collapse. A gentleman can bully you.
The ideal you want to stick to may be the biggest obstacle to your ability to achieve your ideal, especially... you are simply not good enough for Wu Canglan right now."
With a regretful expression, Lu Feiyang pointed out several facts that Sun Wu had never noticed, "Wu Canglan is cruel and easy to kill, and loves war and violence. He is a veritable tyrant. No matter from which angle you look at it, overthrowing his rule would be unfair.
There are benefits to Middle-earth, but you know I know what everyone knows, why has no one done it for more than ten years? The reason behind it is definitely not just because of his high martial arts skills..."
It is well known that Wu Canglan is a tyrant, but there are many harsh officials in the Wu Dynasty, but there is another strange thing, that is, the number of corrupt officials is much smaller in comparison. Since he took the throne, he changed his previous attitude,
Invest a lot of effort and energy
In terms of rectifying government affairs, Yin Jie spent most of his life building an intelligence network. After the war, its main function was to investigate various cases of corruption, fraud, and rebellion, and uproot a large number of corrupt officials. As a result, several wealthy families who were implicated were
Count in hundreds.
"That fighting maniac did this not for the sake of the people. He just knew that compared with many unfair and unequal things, harsh government is actually not that unbearable. It is very difficult to make the lives of the people in the world easier. It requires
It would be much easier to make life difficult for the world's dignitaries and officials, so he eliminated the wealthy families, suppressed the nobles, and made life difficult for everyone. Under comparison, the common people's resentment would not break out so easily."
Sun Wu was silent after hearing this, imagining that he was in a different place. If he lived in poverty, but his neighbor next door drank wine and beauties every day, and lived a worry-free life, especially if he just sat back and enjoyed the fruits of his own labor, sooner or later he would lose his patience and jump out to kill people and rebel.
of.
Such a comparison immediately confirms that what Lu Feiyang said is true. Wu Canglan, a madman who seems to be unscrupulous, is actually better at calculation than anyone else. He cleverly calculates people's hearts and takes risks with sound safety preparations. But according to Lu Feiyang's statement,
, Sun Wu still can’t quite figure it out.
"Wait a minute, I don't understand. If Wu Canglan makes everyone's life difficult and suppresses the rich and nobles out of fairness, then... wouldn't he become the only one enjoying privileges? Everyone's life is miserable.
, if he is comfortable alone, he will become the most hateful person. Isn’t this very dangerous? "
This time, the person who answered was not Lu Feiyang. Yuan Chenfeng had far more exposure to politics and world affairs than Sun Wu. Once he was enlightened, many truths suddenly became clear. After listening to Sun Wu's questions, he immediately knew the answer.
"That's because... He is always the emperor, the Son of Heaven. People are always more tolerant and have a wider standard for this unique existence. In addition... Wu Canglan is indeed very aggressive, spending a lot of money and
Resources are invested in war and armaments, but when it comes to enjoyment and entertainment..."
Yuan Chenfeng shook his head. He realized this too late. Even if he was just a three-year-old child, the people of Middle-earth knew that His Majesty the Emperor was a training fanatic and a martial arts fanatic. But if Wu Canglan had any pursuit of pleasure,
Extravagant and wasteful behavior...no one has ever heard of it.
As the king of a country, Wu Canglan's life is quite monotonous, with no hedonic activities. He spends most of his time on training. If he can, defeating his opponents in competitions seems to be Wu Canglan's hobby. From this point of view,
, the difference between him and those extravagant and extravagant nobles of the previous dynasty is really not that small.
.Everyone in the world knew that this emperor was mentally ill and was not a suitable candidate. However, people always felt more fearful than resentful toward Wu Canglan. Considering his power and dangerous nature, once a war broke out, they had to choose sides.
If you don't stand on the same side as Wu Canglan, at least... you won't dare to stand opposite him.
Lu Feiyang said: "Lao Wu is not an opponent that can be easily defeated. If you want to defeat him, you must use various means. It is absolutely not enough to just rely on yourself to gain advantage. You stick to your ideas and principles. This is
That's great, but good people can't do great things. If you really want to realize your ideals, then you have to let people know that there are benefits to following you, but if you don't follow you... the disadvantages will be huge."
A simple hint contains a very heavy meaning, especially in such troubled times and current situations. To show people power, this often means bloodbath and killing. Yuan Chenfeng is required to implement this set of means.
Looking at his pale face, you can tell how much struggle he has in his heart.
"Is there...is there any...other way?"
"Yes! Of course there is. There is more than one solution to everything in the world." Lu Feiyang answered decisively, but soon spread his hands, "But I can't find it. I haven't found it for many years. I think it should be
There are other ways, it should be more than just this, but I haven't been able to find out. Maybe...you young people can surpass us and find the undiscovered road."
"Then...you tell me this because you want me to find that way?"
"If possible, this is of course the best ending, but for now, this beautiful vision is too unrealistic. Let alone realizing your ideal, you might be finished soon." Lu Feiyang said: "You are not greedy.
Prosperity and wealth are indeed an advantage, but you want to prove it too much, so you ignore the reality."
"……What?"
"Overthrow the Dawu Dynasty and fight crimes for the people. These are just slogans. In fact, who doesn't want to use this to get promoted and make a fortune? You keep saying that I don't have to take credit for success, but you have the greatest credit. If you don't get any benefits, you want to be in the alliance.
What about the others? They have no official job and no money to earn, so they will fight to the death with you!"
Lu Feiyang sighed: "If you are just talking for a moment, then it doesn't matter, but they all know that you are serious... They can't understand you, they think people like you... are perverted, how many do you think?
Are people willing to follow the path of a psychopath and sacrifice their lives without taking advantage of it?"
Sun Wu had no way of judging the true character of these words, and perhaps it was not certain that many people really thought so. However, from what he heard, these words were too heavy, and they were so heavy that Yuan Chenfeng could not bear them. Yuan Chenfeng, who had always been able to maintain his composure,
Completely losing control, he turned around and rushed out.
"Brother Yuan!"
Sun Wu was worried about Yuan Chenfeng's mental condition. When he saw him running out, he immediately chased after him. The two left one after the other, leaving only Lu Feiyang with his hands spread out and Xiao Shang, who had remained silent.
Lu Feiyang shrugged and looked at his only remaining arm. Others were showing their hands with both hands. He only had one arm left, so he could only make do with it. "Tsk, this boy, when the beautiful woman ran away, he didn't chase after the man."
He immediately chased after him as soon as he got out. I really wonder if there is something wrong with his sexual orientation?"
Xiao Shang, who had always made fun of Sun Wu, surprisingly did not agree this time. He just looked at Lu Feiyang and said, "You could have said this kind of thing a long time ago, why are you saying it now? Is it because he was not hit hard enough?
What on earth do you want to do?" "Could you have said it earlier? If it was really possible, I'd really like to, but I'm not Ximen. Looking back now
, he is really amazing. Before setting off the troops, he fully expected what would happen and made all kinds of targeted preparations. If he were here, this situation would not happen today... I don't have such ability, so
I didn't understand many things back then, but it's only now that I finally understand why he did what he did."
Lu Feiyang said: "You overestimate me. I didn't know it a long time ago. I just discovered these truths not long ago. I found that it would be impossible if I didn't say it anymore, so I said it immediately... If possible, I don't want to damage that child's ideals.
It's exactly the same as me back then, and of course I hope he can succeed. However, it doesn't matter if ordinary people are knocked down by failure. A good person who hopes to be the best, but encounters setbacks in the pursuit of his ideals, is likely to become the worst.
The rotten person..."
"Or the worst bad guy?" Xiao Shang shook his head and said, "That's enough, it's not easy for you either."
"It's a pity that I can't help him. In this regard, my ability is too limited..." Lu Feiyang stared at Xiao Shang and said seriously: "Can you please help him? I don't have the ability in this area, but I believe
You have."
"Are you kidding me? I am a technician, not a strategist or a staff officer. If you want to double his strength in three days, I can think of a way, but if you want me to help him fight for the world..." Xiao Shang squinted.
Zhu Lu Feiyang said, "If I have this kind of ability, why don't I just use it on myself? That kid wants to be a good person so crazy that he doesn't even want to be an emperor. I'm different."
"Of course you can't lead everyone to fight for the world. It's too difficult for you to lead the army to fight, but these are not what he needs. He is now trapped in his own growth experience and needs something that can lead him to see the new world.
Xi, these... you are the only one. In some sense, the biggest threat to Wu Canglan in this world is you, because you have studied him for more than ten years, but he knows nothing about you. You don't want to try to defeat Wu Canglan.
?」
Luffy Yang said: "I can only ask you, just think of it for the future of this world, and... for the sake of making this world more good people and less useless or bad people."
"...Well, for these two reasons, I really don't want to agree to you..."
Rushing out of the room, Sun Wu chased Yuan Chenfeng. The two went one after the other. Initially, their speeds were almost the same. However, because Yuan Chenfeng was so distraught, he fell twice while running. After jumping up, he ran forward again.
After two delays, Sun Wu gradually caught up.
Seeing that he could catch up with the person soon, Sun Wu was a little panicked. He didn't know what he would say to comfort him after he caught up with the person. The reason why he rushed out was not so much because he was worried about something happening to Yuan Chenfeng and wanted to comfort him. In fact, he rushed out.
...The blow he received was not much lighter than that of Yuan Chenfeng.
Yuan Chenfeng has always been the goal of his yearning. Compared with Ximen Zhuyu back then, I identify with Yuan Chenfeng more. I always feel that Ximen Zhuyu's actions are a bit evil and overly aggressive. Sometimes he will use any means to achieve his goals.
Being practical and making decisive sacrifices is definitely not a style that I agree with. Therefore, Yuan Chenfeng, who adheres to principles and is law-abiding and promising, can always be highly praised by himself, because he is the kind of person he most wants to be.
But because of this, seeing Yuan Chenfeng encounter such a blow, I felt the same way. If it was just someone else's slander, then of course you don't need to take it to heart, but... Lu Feiyang's words, every word, like needles piercing the heart, are not...
The malicious accusations are completely true.
Why are there so many messy things in the world? Why is Wu Canglan so tyrannical that everyone can only swallow his anger and do nothing? Why is it that someone finally comes out and is not self-interested and wants to defeat him for everyone, but it is difficult to get people's approval?
These things are completely unreasonable, but they all happened before our eyes.
Yuan Chenfeng was not the only one who was hit by such an encounter. Sun Wu also felt that he had been severely slapped in the face several times, and what could he say to Yuan Chenfeng? Should we cry together and lament our own incompetence? This is obviously not a
What a great idea…
Just when Sun Wu was still feeling sleepy, Yuan Chenfeng, who was running in front, stopped, stood up slowly in front, and breathed evenly. Although he hadn't spoken yet, looking at Yuan Chenfeng's posture, Sun Wu knew that he had regained his senses and was beginning to slow down.
Calm down your mood slowly.
After watching it several times in a row, Sun Wu discovered that this young man like a young man actually had very amazing self-control. It must be a serious event for Yuan Chenfeng to lose control of his emotions, and when he encounters these major events, no matter how much he loses control, he can
Within a certain period of time, let your emotions
He calmed down and did not let his disordered emotions affect things around him... For a leader, this is a very rare trait, because in Sun Wu's memory, the other leaders he knew, whether Wu Canglan or Lao
Neither dad nor he seems to care about other people's feelings.
"Brother Yuan, are you... okay?"
"...How could it be okay? I was just called a psychopath. If I am lustful, murderous, and trample on human life, so I bear this reputation, then I will admit it. Now because I don't want to be the emperor, why don't I
People are called perverts, if it were you, would you be fine?"
Having said that, when Yuan Chenfeng turned his head, his expression was calm, but his voice was weak, "But the reality is like this. I can't cover my eyes and act like I can't see. As a reformer, I won't encounter any problems."
It’s strange, now that I know what the problem is, I’m trying to find a way to correct it..."
"What can I do to help you? I mean... although Uncle Lu's words are not unreasonable, there is more than one truth in the world. I believe there must be other ways to go besides what he said. You
There’s really no need to be discouraged by this.”
Sun Wu's encouragement, even he himself doubted how effective it would be, but after Yuan Chenfeng was silent for a moment, he extended his hand to him.
"You are right. If I am knocked down because of this, then even I will look down on myself. Thank you for your encouragement. Let's try to find a new way out together. As for what you can do to help me right now...
If you don’t mind my presumption, then... can you accompany me to a fight?"
