"Su Lie, everyone who wants to die can find a hundred reasons, and each reason can make people listen to and be moved, as if his choice of death is a righteous act, not only should not be blamed, but should also be admired by the world." Zhong Kui said coldly.

Su Lie was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Isn't it?" ”

"Humph!" Zhong Kui snorted heavily, "Of course not, people only hurt once when they die, but they have to hurt all the time when they are alive, so by inference, which one do you think is easier in life or death?" ”

"This ......" The loyal Su Lie really flickered Zhong Kui, at first glance it made sense, but after thinking about it again, he felt that it was wrong, and hurriedly argued: "My lord, the last general will drink poisonous wine is definitely not to escape ......"

"Look, isn't this just as the official said, people who want to die can always find a hundred reasons to be moved?" Zhong Kui flicked his sleeves proudly.

"I ......" Su Lie was dizzy and completely speechless.

Seeing that he was finally willing to shut up, Zhong Kui's attitude softened: "Su Lie, what kind of army the Great Wall Guards are, you must have understood it very well in the past ten years. Why did they unite the souls of the generals, even if the military pay was insufficient, the lack of food and clothing, and the blood spilled on the battlefield could not get the weight of the current emperor, but they were still unwilling to throw away their armor and walk down the Great Wall, the reason is also very clear. If there is no strong military spirit, no matter how strong the surface is, it will not last long, and if it can't fight a few battles, it will fall into a bubble. You have established an indestructible military soul for the Great Wall Guards, and have become the guardian saint of this soul, without you, the Great Wall Guards will be scattered, and the Great Wall will become a tofu scum that can be easily defeated even by weak enemies, can you bear to see this happen? Furthermore, what is the purpose of recruiting 80,000 troops? Did you bring the big guys together, put them in danger of dying, and then, in order to save their lives, they disbanded after your death, and each went home to farm until he died of old age? So let me ask you, what is the significance of the existence of the Great Wall Guards? ”

"Yikes!"

A word woke up the dreamer, Su Lie was hit by five thunderbolts, and almost sat down again.

Zhong Kui's words are very reasonable, 80,000 people, in order to protect the property and lives of millions of people east of the Great Wall, including the residents of Chang'an City, except for the guards, who else can help the imperial court to keep one side safe? Analyzed in this way, it seems that he Su Lie chose to die under the poisonous wine brought by Gonggong Chen......

He raised his head suddenly, stared at Zhong Kui with a pair of eyes that were almost bleeding from grief and self-blame, and asked, "My lord, you just said that the Great Wall Guards were established through your efforts, and I was the general chosen by you, what is going on?" ”

Zhong Kui stroked his short beard and replied: "We have kept this secret for ten years, just for the sake of prudence, and now we have to tell you, otherwise I am afraid that you will really lose the courage to move forward." ”

Su Lie's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly said: "The last general would like to hear about it!" ”

Zhong Kui's brain is not fast, what to say and what not to say, but he can always judge clearly.

He said to Su Lie: "General Su, the peaceful and prosperous era of Chang'an City has lasted for many years, but the imperial court suddenly posted a notice to recruit the guards of the Great Wall inside and outside the city one day, do you think this is because the king Qingming did it to protect the Great Wall?" ”

Su Lie was stunned and asked, "Isn't it?" ”

Zhong Kui shook his head, "Naturally not, how clear the king of the Yang Realm is, and how much he can do, you can see it clearly." As long as there is a large internal forbidden army to keep him safe, and he can control the lives of the people? ”

Zhong Kui's words were very reasonable, and even if Su Lie wanted to argue for the emperor, he couldn't find a suitable word, so he had to agree silently.

Zhong Kui's eyes were complicated, and he sighed: "Although I was appointed by Heaven as the magistrate of Chang'an City and took care of some of the affairs of the Yang Realm, I could not interfere with the King of the Yang Realm because I was in the underworld. ”

"I see!" Su Lie understood Zhong Kui's distress, but why he wanted to establish the Great Wall Guard, the reason was still not clear.

Zhong Kui couldn't reveal the existence of the Time Gate to Su Lie, this secret also came from the gods, except for the people sent by the gods, he couldn't reveal anyone else, so he could only use the reason that Dunshan helped him make up back then. After Dunshan said that idea, he always thought that it was better than what he thought, but he had to think about it himself, and he didn't come up with it after thinking about it for a long time......

"As for why such a powerful army is built, and why it is so strict in selecting the supreme general, it is because soon, the army of the outer demon species will launch an earth-shattering offensive against the human race. The gods of heaven predicted the time of the disaster in Chang'an City, so they informed the official with the help of the Book of Heaven and urged him to think of a solution quickly, so we came up with a strategy to establish a special army to deal with the crisis. ”

"Demon Seed Army......

Zhong Kui's words made Su Lie very confused.

Now that the official roads outside Cyprus are smooth, the trade is prosperous, both humans and demons can live and work in peace and contentment, and life is prosperous, where is the war crisis?

Seeing that Su Lie didn't believe it, Zhong Kui was a little anxious, but Zipan's big face remained cold. The meaning of the gods cannot be revealed, the appearance of mysterious power has nothing to do with the gods, and it is also an enemy that the gods are eager to guard against, so it must be okay to say it, so he will tell the mysterious power to arrive, instigating the leader of the white ape clan or provoking or forcing the major demon races to jointly invade the human world, and the only thing that has changed is the time when the demon mutiny occurred.

"Oh my God~"

Su Lie broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. He has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he knows very well the truth that the general trend of the world will be united for a long time. The prosperity of the capital city of Chang'an has lasted for so many years, and changes can happen at any time. A carefree life is a catalyst for hedonism, and people in a state of pleasure will not be prepared for a rainy day.

Chang'an City implements a curfew at night, but the quietness of the streets and alleys does not mean that the dignitaries and nobles do not have a noisy and lascivious nightlife. Between the Qin Towers of the Chu Pavilion, behind the blue tile bead curtain, there is never a lack of warblers singing and dancing, and the sound of silk and bamboo. It is simply a fool's dream to think that such people should establish the consciousness of worrying about the country and the people, and to advise the monarch that they should strengthen border defense and prevent foreign races from attacking!

"So," Su Lie asked Zhong Kui heartbrokenly, without the slightest doubt in his words, "The Great Wall Guard Army has carried a mission from God since its establishment, not only should it not be disbanded, but it should also be practiced diligently and continue to grow in strength, right?" ”

This time it was Zhong Kui's turn to ask him: "What do you say?" ”

"But......" Su Lie was ashamed and wanted to apologize to the judge, but he wanted to stop talking. His heart was as heavy as stone, but his mind weighed on another boulder that he could not move away on his own—the court where the fat emperor was in charge.
