Chapter 129 You are not old, but please return to old age
Speaking of this, the most powerful man in the world now raised his head, looked at the senior brother of Tableqi, and said slowly: "I dare to ask the big man, if you were in my situation at that time, what would you make a decision?"
The eldest brother was not silent or smiling, but just looked at a tree in the winter garden quietly, as if recalling his own story many years ago, and said, "If it were me, I would probably be able to kill a few people.
How many people.”
Xiahou laughed loudly as he heard his answer: "Hahahaha, what a great man, Mr. Da, there is a mountain of Master behind him, who dares to disrespect you?"
Suddenly, he looked solemn and said in a cold voice: "But I am just a remnant of the Demon Sect that is destroyed by the master's sect and cannot tolerate it. I am just a dog in a panic... changing to a house as a dog seems to be the only choice."
"However, being a dog is a difficult thing."
Xiahou withdrew his gaze, his stable and powerful fingers slowly tapped the tabletop, and said, "Because dogs all have owners, and my dog that seems powerful can bite people everywhere, I never know who my owner is.
.”
"I am a guest of the Xiling Temple, and I am a general of the Tang Empire. I cannot sell the interests of the Empire to the Temple, nor can I sell the temple to the Empire. So what benefits can my dog bring to the Temple and the Empire?
”
"I can only continue to kill and conquer, conquering more and more territory for my Tang Empire and destroying more and more enemies. Only in this way can the Emperor not doubt me, and at the same time, I must secretly obey the temple.
The orders of the people to deal with some things that are inconvenient to deal with in the empire will continue to trust me."
"This and life are really depressing. Your Majesty never trusts me completely. The temple is very wary of me. And the first time a child of Mingzong like Tang is born, he will kill me.
"I am a traitor. From the moment I left the mountain gate, I was a traitor, from this side of the river to another side, and then to another side... This is not a volatile relationship between light and darkness... In fact,
It’s just a remnant of darkness that lingers in the light, looking for a glimmer of vitality and hope.”
"But sometimes I also think that death is not scary, what is scary is the past you carry on your back, those pasts you don't want people to know, those things will grow on your body after carrying them for a long time.
You can't make it lighter, and don't expect to pull it out of you."
"But things are always going to the waves. Your Majesty sent academy to the frontier to practice. He obviously didn't want to use me anymore. If a dog is useless, it may be slaughtered at any time. I have a hard time living in the Central Plains.
I have only been in this position for so many years, and I don’t want to be slaughtered.”
"How can we not be slaughtered? Unless we don't act as a dog, how can we not act as a dog, but as the owner of the dog? You have to have strength. Many people say that this general is the most powerful man in the world, but in fact, you and I are all very
It is clear... this and power cannot be extraordinary and still in the world, so there is always a rope on my neck."
"So I want to get that book of heaven, because I want to have power beyond this world, I want to break that rope... From then on, I don't have to struggle repeatedly on both sides of the river, but I can get real freedom.
Xiahou's speech was very long. During his speech, neither the senior brother nor Ning Que interrupted. He just listened quietly and silently, listening to the vague history, and listening to the peaceful narrative of the imperial general.
The resentment and unwillingness hidden in it are listening to the secrets that not many people in the world know.
The eldest brother looked at him and asked gently: "Why do you want to tell us these..."
Xiahou smiled, picked up the teacup and drank the cold tea, sighed softly and said, "Of course I don't want to use these words to change something, but these words have been hidden in my heart for too many years and have never had the chance to say them to others.
There are too few people in the world who are qualified to listen to me saying these words, and you are undoubtedly one of them, Mr. Da.”
The eldest brother sighed and said, "Since it is useless to say anything, why bother to say more?"
Xiahou looked at his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I wanted to ask to see my master back then and ask him to relieve my pain and confusion. I thought to myself that the academy is a place where there is no difference in teachings. Since Mr. Ke can appear like this
The character of the Demon Sect is nothing, but unfortunately, the Master refused to see me, and just asked His Majesty to pass on two words to me. Until today I still don’t know what to interpret those two words.”
The eldest brother asked, "What two words?"
Xiahou replied: "Wuwei."
The eldest brother was silent for a moment, then looked at him and smiled. The gentle smile contained a very complicated emotion, some pity, some emotion, and some unconcealed regret.
"It seems that the Master's intention is not clear about the Master's intention when he watches the General's actions today."
"Sir, please give me some advice."
"Waiting is nothing to do. The general left the Demon Sect and came to our Tang Dynasty. Everything he thought and did was sharp. He acted with force and military achievements with violence and ostentatiousness, so that he could stand firm in the river of life.
, so as not to cause trouble to the person behind you, but you never thought that it might be better if you did nothing from the beginning."
The elder brother spoke slowly, slowly raised his hand to stop Xiahou from speaking, and continued, "I will talk about the matter of Saint Murong Linshuang back then. Xin Xin was very angry when he took over the head of the sect and was ready to meet Xiling swordsman, but
But you were worried that the man was exposed and he had to kill Murong first to win the trust of Xiling. How could the empire blame not for helping you?
"As long as you respond to the impermanence of the world, if you do nothing, you may not have any worries after that. Unfortunately, you are too nervous that person, and you will see the wrong one after another, until it reaches the point where you cannot recover today."
Xiahou clenched his fists and said sternly: "But the Master didn't speak back then!"
The eldest brother's eyes were slightly cold, and he looked at his face and said in a deep voice: "What qualifications do you have to let the teacher speak for you? How do you know that if the temple takes action, the teacher will not speak for you? Don't forget, if it weren't back then
The teacher nodded, how could your sister become the queen of my Tang Dynasty!"
The winter garden was silent, and all the servants in the general's mansion had long been sent away... No one could hear what the elder brother said, and Ning Que, who understood the meaning of this sentence, lowered his head.
He stared at the teacup in front of him and did not move. Only his right hand, which was slightly trembling under the table, revealed his true emotions.
The empress of the Tang Empire is actually Xiahou’s real sister! She is also from the Demon Sect!
A thin branch in the depths of the winter garden seemed to be unable to withstand the atmosphere between the fields or the snow frost hanging on the branches. It snapped and fell into the residual snow. The elder brother slowly pushed the teacup of his body.
He got a little further away, looked up at Xiahou and said, "If you have finished speaking, then I should say something you probably don't like to hear."
Xiahou narrowed his eyes slightly...the fingers that tapped the tabletop had stopped.
The master asked, "Who will the horse thief on the grassland who dragged the coalition rations and grass to attack the coalition forces?"
Xiahou replied: "I."
The senior brother asked, "Who transferred the Tang cavalrymen on the Hulan Sea to the more than a thousand cavalry lords?"
Xiahou replied: "I."
The eldest brother asked, "It was Mian Want to kill my junior brother with one punch in the mountain road."
Xiahou Pingjing replied: "It's still me."
The eldest brother was silent for a moment... and then looked at him and said, "Since that's the case, you should return to your old age."
Is General Xiahou old?
No matter the civil and military officials in Chang'an City, the emperor's trench... or the billions of people in the world, and even the great officials in the Xiling Temple, they would not think so. This powerful martial arts master is still in the most powerful stage of his life.
There was no sign of shock in his mental will. Many people thought that when General Xu Shi was destined to leave the stage of history due to his old age and physical weakness, he would be the number one general in the world.
However, in this arrogant general's own mansion... in this quiet and cold bath, in the garden, the scholar who looked ordinary in an old jacket and torn shoes said that he was old without reason and no reason.
, and then let him return to his old age.
When this sentence was spoken from the elder brother, countless layers of winding winter clouds gathered and came to the sky above Tuyang City, covering the winter garden layer by layer... The sky was extremely dim and the trees in the garden were old.
Really revealed.
Xiahou squinted his eyes and looked at the eldest brother.
After answering many similar questions, he only asked one question: "Mr. Big should interfere in the affairs of the court?"
The Tang Empire is qualified to know the back mountain of the academy. Everyone knows that the academy strictly prohibits interference in the government affairs. This is the iron rule set by the Master for himself and all the disciples of the back mountain... If there is no such iron rule, I am afraid that no matter what the academy is.
Those gentlemen are still the emperor in the palace and will not know who is the master of the empire.
Although there are many secular ants in the world who have never heard of the Master's name... But as long as the Master said, no one in the world dares to disobey... To be more precise, those royal ministers, Taoists and monks who know who Master is, have never been
I dare not disobey the will of the Master. Taoshan, where the Xiling Temple is located, was bald all day long, which was the strongest guarantee of this and will. Fortunately, the Master often travels around the world and doesn't seem to like talking a lot.
The Master said that academies cannot interfere in the imperial court affairs, so the academies that have cultivated countless court officials and are most qualified to interfere in the imperial court affairs have never interfered in the imperial court affairs, and the people in the back mountain are no exception.
Today, the senior brother wants Xiahou, the imperial general, to return to his hometown. Is it considered interfering in the government affairs?
As a general of the Tang Dynasty, he could still respond calmly in the face of the pressure from the academy. Xiahou is worthy of being the peak powerhouse in the world, with confidence and strength that is beyond the reach of the world. This and strength are awe-inspiring.
However, the eldest brother destroyed all the might of Xiahou in just one sentence.
"The Master did not allow the academy to interfere in the affairs of the court because he always thought that the affairs of the court were a minor matter. People who practiced should try to stay away from it. The empire was turbulent or even destroyed. I am afraid that he could not blink his eyes.
As a guest of the temple, you should be very clear about the incident when the Master went to Taoshan, so you should understand what is the big thing in the eyes of the Master. You are hiding it from the court and the temple to organize a group of horse thieves on the wasteland. It is also a small matter if you want to snatch the heavenly book. You are
The remnants of the Demon Sect are also small things. Everything you have done over the years is small things in the eyes of the Master, but if you want to kill my junior brother in the academy, this is a big thing."
For the strong people in the world, being calm when facing major events is a temperament that they must have.
However, when facing the great events in the Master's mind, even if he is strong, he must remain silent and then think carefully. He thought for a short time, and the black hair like blood in the cup was not completely cold. He sighed and looked at the winter garden where he had been with him for many years.
