Chapter 12: A Promise
Wen Qu was sick but was speechless for a while, the headquarters of the Heaven Dou Sword Pavilion was not so easy to break through, even if there was no Yan Wushuang now, there must be other background protection, that person secretly didn't know how much benefit he gave there, it was absolutely impossible to lock all of them stupidly in the treasure house, if it was not until the last moment, he would never want to do something stupid to attack the Sword Pavilion. Especially with Long Xian'er, she will sell herself to Sword Pavilion and Death Yao if she can't say it, saving her trouble in the future.
At this point, the two sides were silent for a short time again, and fell into a negotiation deadlock, Wen Quzhi was thinking about how to find a breakthrough, but he heard Long Xian'er sigh faintly, and there was a deep exhaustion and helplessness in the sigh.
...... What's the reaction? Is it true? Or is it a joke again?
Wen Quzhi was puzzled and wanted to confirm something from Long Xian'er's expression, but heard her say, "I need a promise!"
“...... What kind of commitment?"
"When Shang Gaiyong's matter is over, you have to do one thing for me. Long Xian'er said decisively: "This matter does not involve my account with the Shattered Star Cluster, it will not hurt your brother, it will not hurt you, it will not hurt the people you care about, as long as you don't violate these four, you will do it regardless of the heavens and the earth, the sword mountain and the sea of fire!"
Wen Quzhi groaned for a while, thinking about these conditions. I can't help but say that Long Xian'er's sudden promise is quite fair, it completely hits her weakness, and the conditions are all acceptable to her, which seems to be the most appropriate solution at the moment, even if you think about it, you can't think of a better way than this, and even if you calculate it, Long Xian'er will lose some.
However, since it is a condition for negotiation, there is room for negotiation......
"Shouldn't this kind of promise be added to a promise that does not violate the conscience of heaven and earth?" Wen Quzhi shrugged his shoulders and said, "Or is it not against chivalry or something?"
“...... It's really interesting, the Shattered Star Cluster does things, it turns out that it is all about the conscience of heaven and earth?"
Long Xian'er sneered directly: "During the period when Shang Gai Yong, as a ghost venerable, led the Paradise Hall to take revenge on the destruction, how many people died because of this? How many people were displaced because of this? How can these blood debts be calculated? Don't say that the people he killed and injured were all enemies, and there were no innocent people."
And what kind of treatment methods have the possibility of failure, in order to help him, you force him to become the master of humanity, and want to suppress the ghost qi, if the ghost qi fails in the end, he reincarnates as a ghost, and the ghost clan will get the last power of the human race in vain, you are gambling with the fate of the human race, this is called not violating chivalry?"
The sound and sentences were like slapping Wen Quai's face, and it was difficult to answer.
In order to treat Shang Gaiyong and turn him from a ghost to a human again, the Shattered Star Cluster is not just a simple effort, it is simply gambling everything, and it has long reached the point of ignoring any risks.
The Lord of Humanity, bearing the wishes of all beings, is the hope of the human race, not a force that can be used casually, in order to treat his brother, he and Ah Bi pushed the half-human and half-ghost, and even the old man who originally had more ghosts than people, to this position, so as to suppress the ghost energy in his body and try to create miracles.
This sounds like a whimsical idea and a new way, but in essence, it is simply betting on the fate of the Origin Terrans, if you win, it will be good, if you lose...... Not only is a powerful weapon given to the ghost race in vain, but it is also likely to cause a backlash of willingness, prolonging the entire human race, and causing major disasters.
I and Ah Bi know this matter in our hearts, but what we are determined to do, we will not talk about the price, and whether it is Wu Cangni or King Kong Temple, although they don't know all about the possible consequences of this matter, they also have a rough idea of it, but because the Broken Star Cluster is too strong and dominant, it is clear that they will not accept any advice, so they do not speak.
In fact, there should have been such a person who jumped out to question the actions of himself and others, but he couldn't imagine that this person who stood on the moral high ground and questioned the entire human race was none other than Long Xian'er!
“...... We don't talk about the conscience of heaven and earth when we do things, this is what you say in your heart?" Wen Quzhi sneered: "When you set up a situation to slaughter us, this was the idea in your mind?"
Wen Quzhi noticed early in the morning, this time she met Long Xian'er, her words and deeds were different from the past, although she was still crazy acting at the beginning, but when she was talking seriously, there was less of that kind of laughing and scolding, deliberately contrived words, there was no performance action, and there was no more "husband" and "concubine", like a neurological patient suddenly normal.
This rare solemn demeanor is a rare sight in the recent contact between himself and her, even if there was before, it did not last for so long, Wen Quzhi had to wonder if there would be any special reason for Long Xian'er not to disguise her heart, but to tell the truth.
Hearing her series of questions about the actions of the Shattered Star Cluster, Wen Quzhi's most direct reaction was to provoke the most sensitive nerve.
"In your eyes, we have always been a group of pests, and before the establishment of the new empire, we were eliminated in one fell swoop, but it was just to get rid of insects!"
In Wen Quai's steady voice, there was an irrepressible energy, and his cold eyes contained flames, as if he wanted to burn the woman in front of him.
Long Xian'er felt this threat, and under normal circumstances, the rational way to do it was to choose to temporarily back down and not touch this point again, otherwise this negotiation would not only collapse directly, but also turn around directly, which would also be the worst outcome for her side.
But looking at this guy's expression of thinking that he was right, Long Xian'er felt not only the original exhaustion, but also a wave of anger arose, and she couldn't help but blurt out.
"Is there anything wrong with what I said? What did you guys have in mind in the first place? Returning to the court in triumph, receiving the reward, and being glorified and rich, and then what? Disarming and returning to the fields, roaming around, and sending the rest of your life in the mountains and seas...... I know that's what you think, and that's fine, but what about the others?"
Long Xian'er said coldly: "For the official side, in the fish and meat township, be a prestige and a blessing, this is what the vast majority of you Shattered Star Cluster will do! Don't say they don't mean it, after the Battle of the Gods, there are still 826 survivors in your first brigade, among which there are 748 people who have made such dangerous remarks! And on the way back to the imperial capital alone, there are a total of 3,567 of these remarks, not only do I have a record of them, but I can even recite them now, do you want to say it...... They're all just joking. ”
The vast majority of the members of the Shattered Star Cluster were from reckless backgrounds, and even most of them turned out to be criminals, so naturally they could not have a high sense of morality, or a very positive outlook.
What's more, after a long period of war, especially the abnormal war with demons, he has survived countless life and death moments, what he sees in his eyes and hears in his ears is the most extreme abnormal world, even if he is a normal person, there is a chance that he will be tortured with a bunch of psychological problems, and the star breakers are basically in this state in the end, and most people's three views are seriously distorted, and Wen Quzhi dare not deny this.
As for the dangerous remarks, everyone lived a miserable life in the war, imagining the rich days after trying to expel the demons, and talked about it, of course, it will not be any good words for the benefit of the people, the glory of our human race, etc., but how to accept and ask for bribes, how to be rich, how to be rich and rich, how to enjoy women everywhere and so on.
Similar remarks, not to mention Wen Quai's own illness, even Wu Cangni, who everyone would avoid her at the beginning, heard that her ears were about to grow calluses, it really can't be regarded as a strange thing, and in the atmosphere after the bloody battle, even Sima Qiaofeng, who was the most ideal among everyone, would not come out to interrupt at such a time, spoil the scenery, just listen to it as a joke, at most think about relying on his own efforts to reverse the concept of his companions.
If you want to pay attention to these things, you don't have to wait for the demons to kill, the Broken Star Cluster itself will be killed, I am afraid that most of the people will be directly cleansed, and there is no one available at all, in the final analysis, the Broken Star Cluster is an army with combat power and desire, but it has never been a traditional army with ideals, if you ask why everyone fights, the answer must be "protect the family and defend the country, promote and make a fortune", and it will definitely not be "the world is peaceful, and the people are happy".
In that situation, everyone said these words, they were indeed listening to them as jokes, and I believe that they themselves were not too serious at the time, but if they are seriously investigated, when one day they really bow to the generals, hold the power in their hands, and rule one side, will they put these past jokes into practice, from jokes to truth, this is ...... Wen Quai's heart has always been pessimistic.
...... Few of the people who have been mad by the war have been able to return to the normal world.
I had planned that after the end of the war, I would not accept any wealth, stay away from the court, or even away from the empire, travel everywhere, see the scenery in the distance, and simply be a nameless traveler wandering between heaven and earth, in addition to being too tired physically and mentally, there is also a large part of ...... It's because I'm afraid to see their end in the end.
Perhaps, things will not evolve so badly, with the establishment of the new empire, the use of law and etiquette constraints, can be able to clean up the hearts of those who have lost control in the war, and enjoy the rich brothers, if they can cherish the blessings, contentment, and law-abiding, they can not be a free prince, or even a rich man, and live the rest of their lives well, and live up to their efforts and sacrifices in the war.
But the ugliness of human nature and the infinite greed, I have really seen too much, and I have no hope at all, I am afraid that I will see that with the end of the war, after the brothers have been rewarded with wealth and nobility, their desires will be out of control, and they will be proud of their high merits, and they will criticize the Li court, which is not in their eyes, and they will also look ugly in the local area, and they will do whatever they want.
For them, the things they do are actually the same, they are short of their own things, and they go to the homes of people who have things to cheat and rob, these are things that they are used to.
