Chapter 1002: The Temperature of the Human Heart
"Life in the world, fame and fortune, ups and downs, if you want to end without regrets, it's really difficult. ”
Next to the patio of the mountain restaurant, Sima Annan gently put the folding fan in his hand on the table in front of him, then turned his hand to pick up the cup, drank a sip of tea, and moistened his somewhat dry throat.
At this time, there was already a whole table of dishes in front of everyone, which was served by the middle-aged man in the process of listening to the book, but until now, no one has put down the chopsticks.
Not only the place where Zhao Yu and the others were, but almost all the diners in the lobby only felt that their mouths were dry, their appetite was greatly reduced, and they had no desire to eat happily in their hearts.
After Sima Annan's sigh fell, Xue Bancheng, who was listening silently on the side, raised his head, looked at Jiang Yue beside him, his face was solemn, and he slowly spoke:
"Before the old prince died, although he cried and laughed, he was heroic, like a giant of heaven and earth who really controlled the thunder, and he was willing to die, so in his humble opinion, although he could not end without regrets, it was a relief. ”
"There are too many people he is sorry for in his life, whether it is those of us who are children, or the women who have had something to do with him like the storyteller below, he can't pay back what he owes, fortunately, he didn't owe himself Daxia who gave his life for in the end, otherwise, his life would be in vain. ”
After Jiang Yue finished speaking, he also picked up a big bowl from in front of him, raised his head and drank it all, but this bowl was no longer tea, but wine, at this time, for Jiang Yue, the spirits were already so bitter, let alone tea?
"Liang Po, fill me with a glass of wine. ”
Suddenly, a steady voice came out of Zhao Yu's mouth, and the young emperor's eyes had been staring at the slender figure under the light below, shaking his shoulders slightly above the curtain, Zhao Yu knew that the female shopkeeper who had just finished telling her story was in tears at this time, suppressing her emotions.
The old king of Bei'an has passed away, and for this middle-aged shopkeeper with a little resentment, dust is to dust, dust is to earth, and everything is about to come to an end.
"Your Majesty, the wine is full. ”
Liang Po's soft voice pulled Zhao Yu's thoughts back, and then he retracted his gaze, continued to raise his hand, and pointed at the big bowl in front of Xue Bancheng, signaling to fill it up as well.
When the turbid liquor in the jug was poured into the bowl, the pungent smell of wine instantly came to the face, and in Xue Bancheng, who had secretly tasted the taste of liquor in Liuli City, a pair of extremely charming eyes immediately narrowed, and hurriedly suppressed the feeling of wanting to cough in his throat, and heard the voice of the young emperor who continued to ask sounded in his ears:
"Xue Bancheng, the old King of Bei'an is your guide to come to Great Xia, so in a sense, once I approve your entry into Xia, then it is a person from the Jiang family, what do you think when you hear such a story at this time?"
As soon as this question came out, a thoughtful look appeared on Xue Bancheng's face, and after a few breaths, he respectfully responded:
"Back to Your Majesty, to be honest, the grass people can't empathize too much, because once on the snow field, this matter could not happen at all, or it can be said that it can happen at any time, among the snow tribes, those women who have no ability to fight, don't even have the qualifications to speak, let alone spread the private affairs of high-ranking and powerful people at will, like the female shopkeeper below, so she will be killed. ”
"This is the first threshold for you to integrate into Great Xia, into the different world you dream of, change the original concept of being in the snow field, and understand the culture that belongs to Great Xia and the human race. ”
Zhao Yu picked up the bowl in front of him, and after taking a sip gently, his eyes wrinkled slightly, because the wine in the Tianmen Guan Restaurant was stronger than he imagined, although it was not as strong as the world's strongest Xuantian wine, but it was far more than ordinary wine.
"Almost the same comments were written in all the dossiers of all the ministries involved in the interrogation of the entire Great Xia, and at the end of the condensed dossier given to me by the Cabinet University Scholar Xiao Su, he wrote such and such a sentence.
"This person is thoughtful, wise, and courageous, and at the same time full of courage, daring to hold a dagger to pierce the heart of the great grandmaster of the Palm Birth and Annihilation Realm without changing his face, he is a tiger and wolf, but his heart lacks awe and warmth, and he is easy to become a cold-blooded person with little affection and care, I hope Your Majesty will treat him carefully. ”
After the young emperor's steady voice fell, Xue Bancheng lowered his head slightly, stared at the liquor that glowed with a cloudy luster under the dim light in front of him, pursed his lips, and then his ears once again lingered with his Zhao Yu's imperial voice:
"Drink!"
After hearing this, Xue Bancheng directly picked up the big bowl in front of him, raised his head and drank it in one gulp, and suddenly a fiery breath rose from his stomach, and he couldn't suppress it anymore, and coughed violently.
"Do you feel the temperature this time?"
"Ahem, Your Majesty, I feel it, it's hot, it's hot. ”
The coughing response from the side of the snow fell down, and Zhao Yu showed a smile and continued to speak:
"I know that you are very ambitious, but on the land of Great Xia, the way you display your ambition will be completely different from before, I know that in the Snow People Tribe, everything is based on survival, but in Great Xia, it is my responsibility to let all the people have the right to live and reproduce!"
The young emperor's words were categorical, with a supreme domineering spirit like swallowing mountains and seas, so that Xue Bancheng on the side even forgot to breathe, and with the power of one person, he carried the right to live of trillions of people on his shoulders, which was something that Xue Bancheng once dared not think of!
"Since you are coming to Great Xia, then first of all, you must understand that in this country, people's hearts have temperature, and the ashes of the entire history are not cold, but have residual warmth, and everything that the old King of Bei'an has done for Great Xia, I and Great Xia will not forget.
"Although survival of the fittest is still the essence of the Great Dao, most of the people who walk on this land have a kind of strength in their hearts, which can give people the courage to do things that ordinary people can't understand, if you don't believe it, you see. ”
After finishing speaking, Zhao Yu gently raised his hand and pointed to the patio below, and then everyone looked down, only to see that the oil lamp that had just been lit on the storytelling table had been extinguished for some time, making the entire bottom dark, and at the same time a low choking sound came out.
Then the choked voice turned into a sob, and at the same time, a song with a crying voice lingered throughout the hall, like crying and complaining, like resentment:
"At a glance, decades of right and wrong, it is difficult to judge who is wrong and right, you are infamous, you know each other just in a play, thousands of words, a hundred words are indefensible, and when the love is deep, it is resentful. ”
After the singing, the entire restaurant lobby was quiet, and then the voice of the female shopkeeper came out again, lingering in everyone's ears:
"To put it bluntly, the slave family has done all this over the years, just to let him come and see me, and now he has died in glory, right and wrong, a handful of loess, and the hatred of the slave family has become a rootless duckweed.
"So after tomorrow's funeral, the mountain restaurant will be closed and will never be opened. ”
