"Come back to the palace with me, you are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you will be the emperor of the empire in the future, you are still young, and you still have a lot of time to change the system you hate. ”

"As a tourist who looks coldly at the suffering, or as an emperor with supreme power, is it harder to change the unfairness in your eyes?"

"If you insist on hiding among the stars and landscapes, boasting, and vulgarly retreating when faced with opportunities, and refusing to make a little sacrifice and effort, it can only mean that you do not really sympathize with the miserable life of the common people at all, but only use this to satisfy your own sense of moral superiority, so as to ridicule and ridicule others. ”

Huai Caoshi looked at him expressionlessly, her words were extremely sharp and powerful, and in the past two years, she had thought too much about it in order to convince this guy in front of her.

But it was obvious that Xu Le had also thought about this question for a long time, and he replied directly without any pause: "Any great reform or revolution requires the decision of the supreme power at a critical moment, and this decision may be the destruction of an entire class, the trade-off between millions and hundreds of lives. ”

He looked at Huai Caoshi, and said sincerely to himself: "You know that my character is flawed, it is difficult for me to make similar choices, I am only good at destruction, not long-term construction, I can't even be qualified to be a battlefield commander, let alone such an important role?"

"If you lead the changes in the Left Heaven Star Domain, there is no other possibility than to plunge the empire into turmoil and kill more people. ”

Xu Le looked at her and continued: "People must be self-aware, I have some talent in mechanics, but I will always be so naïve and ridiculous in politics, past history has long proved this, in this regard, there are too many people on both sides of the universe who are smarter than me, it is impossible not to see it, in the era of the universe without the glory of the charter, the centralized empire wants to retain power forever, after all, it is just a luxury, so in fact you are already beginning to change." ”

Huai Caoshi was silent, understanding that although he admitted that he was ridiculous in politics, his vision was not wrong.

"What even the Emperor and you can't do, I naturally can't do. Xu Le said.

Huai Caoshi didn't care about what he called His Majesty, the tips of his eyebrows were slightly sharpened, staring into his eyes and asking: "The empire's grass reform has just begun for more than ten years, and the future is unknown, how can it be said that it will fail." ”

"The idea of mending tensions between classes and bringing the power of the lower classes into full play to the power of the lower classes to inject fresh blood into the lifeless empire is ...... That's what you're doing right now. ”

Xu Le looked at her and said, "As I said just now, I have been to many places and seen many people and things, I know what the real lower class of the empire is like, and I believe you know it too." Last time you took me to Sangzhi Prefecture to see those national universities, and they looked very good, but what about Sangkun Town, where we are now?"

"Even if the untouchables here are lucky not to be killed by the nobles, where do they dare to expect the right to education? This is the case with the Lihanxing that you have designated as a pilot, so what is the situation of the whole empire? What exactly can the emperor's educational reform intentions affect? Or can it only change the streets and alleys around the palace?"

Talking or debating is sometimes like a tug-of-war, because each other's feet stand on different positions, they want to pull each other to their side, and resolutely do not allow themselves to be pulled to the other side, so when one party begins to exert force, the other person will follow the force, and gradually rise in turn, until the power of verbal logic proof and the like has been exhausted and can no longer increase, so they begin to use gestures and expressions to assist, and many methods of anger and harsh ridicule appear in turn, just like the hands holding the long rope at both ends of the tug-of-war, and the red face is struggling too hard, and the embarrassed slides on the mud floor**, not pretty.

The dilapidated library is only seven or eight square meters in size, and the books on the three-story shelves are not ashed, but they are turned over a little wrinkled, and the two arguing people by the window find this kind of quarrel meaningless at the same time, and the silence returns to the sun-filled room.

After a long silence, Huai Caoshi lowered her collar slightly, looked at Xu Le and said, "You're watching, you're thinking, this shows that you haven't considered the possibility of returning to the palace." ”

"I'm a tourist, but I've been traveling around the Zuotian Star Domain for two years, and I naturally feel a little emotional after seeing things, which doesn't mean anything. Xu Le replied.

"Just tourists?"

A flash of light suddenly flashed in Huai Caoshi's slightly narrowed eyes, and she said in a low voice: "On the first day of July in the seventh hundred and twenty-sixth year of the imperial calendar, the official of the Cross Constellation Tourist Club died tragically in the apartment. ”

"On November 15, 726, the bodies of two nobles were found in the tunnels of the Rimbaud Star Salt Mine, and the guns in their hands had not had time to fire a single bullet, and their throats were cut by sharp weapons. ”

"After the New Year's service in 727, the bodies of seven priests were found in the basement of the Gang Dome Blue Cathedral, and the prostitution boy who was rumored to be imprisoned in the basement disappeared without a trace. ”

"April ...... 727"

Huai Caoshi looked at him quietly, her thin lips opened slightly, and she began to tell more than a dozen very shocking cases in the Zuotian Star Domain in the past two years, every time she told the time, place and person of a case, the strange emotions in her eyes became thicker, and Xu Le's eyes on the other side of the table narrowed even smaller.

"This year is the spring of the 728th year of the Bai Hibiscus Emperor's calendar, and a noble young master died tragically in his manor, and even his yang ju was cut off. ”

Huai Caoshi stared at Xu Le's eyes and said: "It's a coincidence, the place where the murder occurred is the place you passed by when you traveled, according to the time, you happened to be nearby at that time, could it really be just a coincidence?"

Xu Le was silent for a long time, spread his hands and smiled, and replied, "Of course it's not a coincidence. ”

Huai Caoshi looked at him and said, "Whether it is the Federation or the Empire, countless people are speculating about where you have gone, and most people think that you are living in seclusion in Bermuda, and there may be other speculations, but they always think that you should be in seclusion after you flee. ”

"But you can kill wherever you go, what kind of escape and seclusion is this?"

......

"I'm still young, not old, what else can I do, then of course I won't take a dozen wives to find a poor country to be the emperor of the soil, satisfied with this so-called pleasure of retreat. ”

Xu Le looked at her and said, "As for killing wherever you go...... It's not that I want to kill, it's that I've seen too many people along the way who should be killed. ”

"The aristocratic young masters who raped and killed their young girls, the bishops and gentlemen who kept seven or eight-year-old boys in the basement like pigs, the nobles who murdered the untouchable miners to defraud the empire of compensation, they all deserve to die, so I let them die. ”

He squinted his eyes and looked out the window, pointed to the faint people outside the broken wall, and said, "On all the planets of the Empire, things like this happen every day, including here. I'm sure if you saw those images with your own eyes, you would have made the same choice, except that you're a princess, and you rarely have access to these things. ”

"What problem can be solved by killing so many people? To solve the fundamental problem, you need to have the power to kill hundreds of times thousands of times. If you still insist on not coming back with me......"

Huai Caoshi squinted at him, forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, coughed twice, and said: "That only proves that you are naïve, absurd, selfish, and cold, and when you look up and see the starry sky, you revel in your sense of moral superiority? This way is too easy! It's easy to be disgusting!"

Xu Le looked down at the teacup, and suddenly said: "When I was in the Master Mansion, I told you that I am a very selfish person, please forgive me for this." ”

He raised his head, looked into Huai Caoshi's eyes, and said sincerely: "I am a poor fellow with no position now, I used to be confused and angry, and I didn't even have faith, until I found some in a department store, but that was really not enough. ”

"People have to do something to live, even tourists want to do something, kill those people, do those things, fight grievances, avenge innocent people or something......"

He shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "It's my favorite amateur entertainment, it's a hobby, and it has nothing to do with morality." ”

After a long time, Huai Caoshi's squinted eyes gradually relaxed, and said, "I accept your explanation. ”

She stared into his eyes and continued: "But have you ever thought about how many people you will anger with such a reckless behavior, you are just a tourist and can leave away, and those weak people you want to protect will have to suffer the bloody revenge of the nobles afterwards. ”

"Of course I've thought about these things. Xu Le looked at her, scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "Those guys who are really crazy and cruel, I have killed them as much as possible, as for the aftermath, I know that the officials of the Intelligence Agency have been looking for me, since they are your subordinates, and they guessed that I did it, then they should help me deal with the follow-up things." ”

He hurriedly lifted the kettle from the stove, filled the teacup of Huai Caoshi, and said with a smile: "The Imperial Intelligence Agency, which is personally led by Her Royal Highness the Princess, certainly has this ability.

"Are you using me?" said Huai Caoshi, staring at him.

"Reminder?"

Huai Caoshi sighed, held the teacup and was silent for a moment, then suddenly shook her head and laughed without warning, but the laughter was replaced by a series of coughs in an instant.

Xu Le frowned and looked at her who was covering her lips and coughing, clearly hearing her pain, looking at her pale face, her cheeks that were obviously thinner than back then, and subconsciously raised her left hand, wanting to relieve the pain on her back, but her arm was extremely stiff and couldn't stretch it out.

He knew that although she had not been resident in Ink Flower Star for more than two years, she had focused all her energy on that planet full of death and killing, fighting against that ruthless and crazy Federation general, and even risking unimaginable dangers to assassinate the other party three times with the dignity of a princess.

Xu Le knew very well that even if she was as powerful as Huai Caoshi, it would be difficult to assassinate Du Shaoqing under the protection of the heavy army, and she was already very lucky that she was not buried in the federal military camp these three times, but she must have been seriously injured.

Looking at her who was frowning into a mess of ink on her coughing eyebrows, Xu Le's eyebrows were also a mess of ink, he took a deep breath and asked, "Is it seriously injured this time?"

His palm landed on her back, and the true qi of Eight Rice passed over with the warmth of his palm.

(Not anymore today.) The day before yesterday said that these four days to ensure the three watches, there is really no way to do it, this month's goal of 180,000, it seems that there is no way to achieve, close to the end of the year, suddenly something troublesome, I am really helpless, try to write it, apologize seriously, please bear more. ）（！）
