The heroic image of his father that was just established not long ago has a slight crack.
Out of rationality, he needs to live in an objectively real world in order to guard against the cold arrows shot by cold reality; but out of his few personal emotions, he instinctively wants to refuse.
"Do you really want to know?"
The God of Dionysus saw Jiang Qian's hesitation and advised with a smile: "Some truths are a blessing if you don't touch them. Knowing more will only add trouble. Maybe the balance you just established in your life will be broken, and you will also face
A more troublesome enemy."
Jiang Qian looked at the God of Dionysus and stared at his face covered with vicissitudes of life for a long time.
Said: "It is better to face it early than to be caught off guard."
Rationality prevails. He needs objective facts to support his future objective actions. This is a habit he has developed since childhood and is as imprinted in his mind as the concept of "beware of everything".
Just as the first ability he gained after becoming a super-species was "spiritual vision", and later he gained the ability to see "nothing" because he was given the "Way of Compatibility", fate facilitated him to see everything clearly and live clearly.
clear.
After hearing this, the god of wine laughed and said that he was telling the truth.
There are always hurdles in life that you have to overcome!
The Qianlong Wuyong known to the world is no longer just a super individual emerging from the bottom. He is now a core strategic weapon that the lawful official has made a huge investment in. He is about to be put into a more complex battlefield and has a greater bearing on the future.
The interests and survival of many people.
Therefore, before going to the real battlefield, Jiang Qian did not allow himself to have even the slightest "flaw".
"So, my father didn't really have a heart-to-heart relationship with the Dragon God at that time, and he didn't resign from the official position, right?"
"You are very smart!" Dionysus looked at Jiang Qian with some surprise.
From just one ambiguous hint, he immediately traced the source and found the key point, which made the God of Dionysus marvel at Jiang Qian's alertness and calmness.
However, the story doesn't end there.
Dionysus continued the words, gradually showing the original appearance of the incident:
"We didn't know at the time that your father still maintained close contact with the lawful officials after he left office. From what happened later, we can imagine that your father's fundamental purpose of wooing the Dragon God was to facilitate the 'monitoring' of the Dragon God and the leader.
The trends of the Ashes organization.”
Jiang Qian listened silently, and this was not very different from what he expected.
A person who can sit in his father's position involves many things and has a lot of stakes! How can he get away so easily?
Not to mention having close contacts with the number one figure in the opposing organization!
In order to make Jiang Qian understand the joints more clearly, Dionysus continued to explain:
"The Ashes organization was very simple at first! It was originally a free organization founded by the Dragon God. It preached the pursuit of free belief, abandoned decadent concepts, and practiced a personalized lifestyle. It was carried forward by a few of our elders -
—The Dragon God is the soul of Ashes! In an era when super-species players are emerging, Ashes quickly gathered many capable people with different personalities and became a well-known presence in non-lawful organizations."
"You know this, Ashes' influence is still all over the country... But at that time, Ashes' reputation was not as bad as it is now! Hahaha... But when did the problem arise? It was probably the Dragon God."
The missing years."
"For an organization that has lost its soul, it is almost inevitable that its ideology will shift. What's more, there are still people who try to seize the opportunity to usurp power! Haha, it's a pity that it is too far away from the Dragon God. If the usurpation of power fails, the reputation of the organization will be ruined.
Get clean! Your strong will, like Ashes, has gradually become paranoid and tyrannical; your pursuit of freedom has become an excuse for depravity and indulgence."
"As a result, the conflict between the Ashes and the lawful officials gradually escalated, and probably the officials were also reflecting on this issue: Killing the Dragon God not only failed to solve the Ashes, but instead led to the Ashes organization further losing control... Their strategy failed, probably because
Because of this, your father’s flexible methods were born.”
Forced removal of the lesion failed, so conservative treatment was adopted... Hearing this, Jiang Qian gradually understood the lawful official's policy towards Ashes.
"The conflict broke out on the eve of the God War."
The God of Dionysus continued to talk about the past events many years ago, his expression becoming more and more solemn:
"Under the influence of your father, the Dragon God decided to participate in the God War, and called on the strong generals within the Ashes organization to go together. This touched the bottom line of some of the Separatists, the conflict broke out, and there was a rupture within the Ashes."
"The Divine War is imminent, and the Dragon God has no extra energy to deal with the internal conflicts at that time, so he can only leave with his supporters and directly participate in the war. Le Shen and I are sworn followers of the Dragon God, and of course we are also participating in the war. But things are not like that.
Simple."
"Later, your father received official internal information that the remaining forces of the Ashes were preparing to snipe the Dragon God along the coast! They actually regarded the Dragon God as a traitor and dared to strangle the spiritual leader of the Ashes organization!"
When the Dionysus said this, his fist suddenly dropped on the table, and the wooden table was visibly cracked from the top to the legs...
Jiang Qian's heart was also tense.
He knew that the truth he wanted was nearby: "What happened next?"
"Your father took advantage of his plan and deployed official elites to ambush in the coastal areas to counterattack, preparing to take the opportunity to wipe out the remaining Ashes! Of course, that does not include us."
Dionysus sighed:
"Your father has done a very honorable job in this regard. He is well aware of the dangers of the God War and sincerely wants to use more power to prevent that disaster."
"It's a pity that the siege and suppression failed to completely eliminate the remaining forces of Ashes. Not only that, it also exposed the ambiguous relationship between your father and the official, and the matter was very unpleasant."
"And at this juncture, news came from the rear that foreign forces secretly attacked your father's family members in the rear!"
Jiang Qian's eyes were focused. This was the "cause and effect" he wanted to know——
"By the time your father and the Dragon God arrived in a hurry, the assassination had been terminated by the timely intervention of official forces. Fortunately, everyone was fine, but they were greatly stimulated mentally, especially the youngest son... So your father
I took advantage of this crisis to say goodbye to my family."
The God of Dionysus lowered his head and sighed, looked at Jiang Qian and said:
"Although that farewell was hasty, life is unpredictable. Which farewell is not unexpected?"
"..."
"You don't have to blame your father. Xuesong has always been rigorous in doing things, starting and ending. I think he did this just because he didn't want the three of you, mother and son, to experience a new trauma."
…
This is the truth that Jiang Qian has always wanted to find out.
Dionysian's narration ended, but Jiang Qian felt a sense of emptiness.
In the final analysis, this narrative is not too different from the "truth" he heard elsewhere. The fact that his father died in the God War is unshakable, and there is no shady conspiracy.
But he still felt that something was wrong...
Jiang Qian thought carefully under the gaze of the Dionysian: "Having been deceived and used for so long, doesn't the Dragon God have any special reaction?"
"I know what you want to ask."
The Dionysian smiled lightly:
"In fact, we can understand your father's actions. His concerns about the remnants of the Ashes are also the concerns of the Dragon God. In the final analysis, this official action can be regarded as helping us."
Listening to Dionysian's statement, the context of the matter gradually became clear, and Jiang Qian's inner doubts became more acute: "But you said, this will involve a lot of lives?"
This was the reminder given by Dionysus when Jiang Qian began to ask about the "truth".
"Yes, a lot." Dionysus did not deny it, as if he was determined to play riddles with Jiang Qian.
"How many?" Jiang Qian continued to ask.
"It depends on how far you want to go." Dionysus smiled meaningfully.
Jiang Qian was also smiling, with a bit of biting coldness in his indifferent smile: "The Ashes remnant back then, now the Ashes Four Gods...and what else? What's the name of that overseas organization?"
"Ah...I knew you would ask this!"
Dionysus sighed and replied: "Northern Europe, the realm of gods."
Holy area?!
There is no doubt that it is the magic cave that he passed by in the "Gamble" copy!
"Every wrong has its owner, and every debt has its owner. Who has my father offended, so much so that he has to kill them all even if they take such a huge risk in an away game?"
"It's hard to say... I only remember that the lawful official exchanged a spy captured by the special department with the Nordic side, named 'Kul'. It is said that this person is a believer in the divine domain."
Kool…
"I understand, thank you, senior."
Jiang Qian took out a stack of red tickets from his pocket and pressed them on the wooden table that was about to collapse.
"What, are you leaving?"
There was a hint of reluctance in the Dionysian's tone.
After all, it had been many years since he had been able to chat with others about the past.
"I have been harassing you for a long time today. I will come to see you next time I go to Beijing."
"Oh...well, you should really get busy!" The Dionysian waved his hand, but filled another glass for himself.
"Take care of yourself." Jiang Qian stood up and said goodbye.
Before leaving, he was stopped by the god of wine again.
The old man's eyes were a little cloudy, and he asked loudly: "Thank you to Xiaolu for me, and just say thank you for taking care of her all these years!"
"Okay, I will definitely bring it."
Jiang Qian's figure quickly disappeared into the narrow alley.
Most of the already scattered stalls had already been filled by customers.
The god of wine sat alone at the table and drank slowly, draining the last bottle of good wine...
Until a voice made his movements freeze——
"You don't keep your word, you old drunkard..."
Hearing the sound, Dionysus laughed slowly, and his laughter became longer and happier!
"why are you laughing?"
"Hahaha, I'm laughing at you, the king of hell, you came so fast!"
"Hmph, it's still an immoral behavior even when death is imminent."
During the teasing, a lamprey brand appeared faintly from the old man's back. The brand burned like fire and expanded outward at a speed visible to the naked eye! It seemed as if it was devouring the old and rickety body of the Dionysus...
"Even if I don't tell him, he will find you sooner or later."
"Then let him never come back!"
"Hahaha, old man, this is the capital!" Dionysus looked up at the dark night sky, but he met a pair of young and confused eyes in the distance.
…
The boy tied the two wooden sculptures together with transparent glue to form a "monster", and then he couldn't wait to climb up the window sill, wanting to show off the secret treasure to the old naughty boy downstairs.
But when he stuck his head out, he saw an incredible scene.
The old naughty boy's body is filled with a strange luster, from the surface of the skin, to the bright red flesh and blood, to the white bones... Every inch of skin and bones covered by the luster is disappearing visibly to the naked eye! Just like the boy once did for
As described in the fairy tales that fascinate me...
"No……"
The boy quickly realized something. His eyes widened in surprise, and when the voice was about to escape from his throat, a pair of hands stretched out from behind and tightly covered his mouth!
"Woo...Woo!"
The silenced boy was taken away from the window sill by his mother and held tightly in her arms.
His father rushed out from the side, slammed the window shut, and pulled the curtains!
This scene was so smooth that the boy was caught off guard.
His voice couldn't come out, so tears rushed out of his eyes. At the same time, he struggled with his body!
Just as he wanted to get rid of the control of his parents countless times and execute his own will, he went to witness with his own eyes the painful and terrifying conjecture that filled his mind - was he disappearing? Will he die?
No one would care about the life and death of an old man living alone, let alone such a "disgusting" guy... The boy resisted almost crazily and wanted to kick away his approaching father. He resented his parents for being insensitive!
But the next second, the trembling and sobbing from her mother became clearer and clearer behind her, making the boy stunned.
He was surprised to find that his insensitive mother was crying.
For a "disgusting" lonely old man...
…
"Old drunkard, if you have any last words, let's say them now."
"No harm to the family."
…
The night breeze is cool.
The young street stall owner suddenly woke up and was stunned for a while, feeling like he had fallen into a long dream.
I lowered my head and looked at my watch. Oh, I am so sleepy!
He rubbed his neck and stood up from the bench, staggered out and stared at the empty stall where the bill had not yet been paid. He was stunned for a while, then hesitantly walked over and picked up the red ticket pressed on the table.
I clicked and found several hundred extra.
It’s many times more expensive than the plate of edamame he gave away!
"This old man...has no children, but he is never short of money!"
After sighing for a long time, he stuffed the money into his pocket and quickly packed up the stall.
The moonlight was still there, and he vaguely felt the cool breeze tonight. He thought he was probably tired, so he took the time to pack up the proofs, and he didn't even notice the few burnt pieces of cloth left beside the stall.
