"Yun'er, don't get me wrong, I'm not a thief, I'm righteous!"

Facing Li Xiuyun and the frightened eyes of her family, Xu Jie calmly replied.

"Righteousness?"

"Yes, it's righteousness! Now the Ming Dynasty enjoys the country for three hundred years, the country has already been going downhill, the court is even more rotten, when the students were in high school, the Xi Temple Lord (Emperor of the Apocalypse) once personally summoned me, and told the students to be sure to serve the country and revitalize the Ming Dynasty, but although the students agreed verbally, in the end they said that they were sick and returned to their hometowns, and never stepped into the heart of the official career again!

The reason why this is the case has nothing to do with Wei Zhongxian at that time, but the right and wrong that the students were exposed to in the capital, which had already made the students see through the corruption and erosion of the Ming court, and its degree of decay had reached the point of incorrigibility!

Think about it, my Chinese dynasties have not had eunuchs in power, even in this dynasty, there are many eunuchs, Liu Jin, Wang Zhi, Wang Zhen, they are all in power, and they are all in power, and they are in charge of life and death, but who of them can reach the height of Wei Zhongxian!

Wei Zhongxian openly regarded himself as "nine thousand years old", and he was in and out according to the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, from the middle of the court to the old cabinet and the department, all of them were extremely flattering, and even countless high-ranking officials and dignitaries competed to recognize Wei Zhongxian as a father and grandfather, so that Wei Zhongxian's filial sons and grandchildren were countless, which was really a spectacle!

This is not counting, and later the statue of Wei Zhongxian was invited into the national prison, side by side with the Confucian saints, sharing the worship of the world's scholars, such a situation, unheard of since ancient times, unseen, why? ”

Xu Jie's question made Li Xinzhai, Li Tao, and Li Xiuyun unable to answer.

"These people are all scholars, they have the most resources and the greatest power in the world, what are they like, then what is the world like, but they are already rotten at this time!

Throughout the history of China, there is no period of scholars who can be compared with the appearance of scholars at this time in terms of the degree of decay!

It is precisely because of seeing these that I know that Da Ming is not saved, and these scholars will drag Da Ming and this world to the abyss of destruction! I don't know where it will end up, but I believe this place must be a black hole with no light in sight, it must be!

But I saw all this, what's the use, I don't know how to save, I don't know where to start, because they are already crazy, they together form a general trend, this general force is like a wheel, rolling forward, my personal strength in front of him, useless, I can't change the trajectory of his movement at all! ”

Speaking of which, Xu Jie's face already looked lonely and tired!

"It wasn't until I met the leader, the giant thief you call it, that I saw a glimmer of hope, a glimmer of light that could change the trajectory of the wheel!

So under the guise of taking care of my cousin, I threw myself into his command, just to be able to do something for the world, to do something for the hundreds of millions of people, and I don't want to have regrets in my heart when I am dying! ”

After Xu Jie finished speaking, all the people in the tent also fell into silence, and they were also thinking about Xu Jie's words in their hearts, thinking about whether Xu Jie was right or wrong.

At this time, Li Xiuyun walked in front of Xu Jie and said to Xu Jie affectionately: "Lang Jun, no matter what you do, no matter what choice you make, Yun'er is your woman, and she will follow you all her life, whether you are a thief or an official, Yun'er will always follow you!" ”

Li Xinzhai also walked in front of Xu Jie, sighed, and said: "The old man is old, and he can't understand many things, but the old man believes that he is not wrong, you must be a good son with affection and righteousness, as long as you live up to my baby girl in this life, nothing else, the old man doesn't matter!" ”

Seeing Li Xiuyun and Li Xinzhai They said this, Xu Jie was also moved, and said solemnly to them: "Thank you, I believe that time will prove that my choice is not wrong, and I also hope that you can witness this process with me!" ”

The night was deep, and it was shallow, and soon, the sun was rising again, and the light was once again sprinkled all over the world, what a peaceful and peaceful morning scene, if there was no suffering, then this world would really be heavenly.

After breakfast, Xu Jie and his party packed up and continued to hurry.

After walking for about an hour, suddenly, a member of the team responsible for reconnoitring and exploring the road in front of him rode a fast horse and galloped in front of Xu Jie.

made a military salute, and the team member said to Xu Jie: "Sir, five or six miles ahead found an army of more than 2,000 people, each of them holding spears, marching in a phalanx, at first the subordinates thought they were their own people, and when they walked in, they knew that they were not, but they must not be officers and soldiers, because the dress is no different from ordinary thieves, but compared with ordinary thieves, their formation is much stricter, and their momentum is much stronger, it seems to be a little tricky!" ”

When Xu Jie heard this, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and said in his heart: This is not far from Tongguan, they are not official soldiers, and they are not ordinary thieves, so who are they? Where did it come from?

Thinking of this, Xu Jie couldn't help but dismount and walk to a high slope on the side, to watch the horses, the captain Niu Lagen also followed behind, under the guidance of the team members, Xu Jie, Niu Lagen They soon saw the shadow of the people,

Sure enough, it looks like an ordinary thief, the phalanx is more regular, and the momentum of the spears is like a forest really looks like a guard, no wonder the team members will admit their mistake!

"Sir, what shall we do?"

At this time, Niu Lagen, the head of the pawn, asked Xu Jie.

Xu Jie said calmly: "Look at their appearance, there should be some background, since this is the case, then their spies should also have discovered us, it is too late to hide and dodge, since this is the case, then wait for them to arrive, with the combat strength of our defense team, there is no need to worry too much, if there is a war, as long as you kill two or three of them, they will scatter and leave." ”

Xu Jie's words are like a reassuring pill, which is to make Niu Lagen feel at ease.

Although they are not afraid of death, but people are somewhat afraid of unknown things, and now I don't know who is coming, the number of people is more than 20 times different, and the combat power seems to be a little, to say that it is impossible not to pay attention to it!

So soon, under the command of Xu Jie, the security team set up a phalanx and waited for the arrival of the people in front.
