"The prerequisite for obtaining power is to gain strength. I want to gain strength and want to gain power. What's wrong with it?"

“…”

I didn't expect that he would suddenly talk to me about this at this time. His eyes were firm and focused, and he looked at my eyes without blinking, as if he wanted to use his own concentration to see through my soul in my eyes and find an answer.?

I was silent for a while and said, "Why did you tell me this?"

“…”

"Since you have determined what you are doing, what's the point of arguing with me about the right or wrong?"

Looking back on the right or wrong that Xie Feng and Yuwen Kang got in that room just now, I don’t know how many years I have experienced and how many people have passed through, and finally I really got an answer, but what is the significance of this answer to the dead and the facts that have already been established?

Pei Yuanxiu said, "Of course it makes sense. I want to listen to your truth."

I smiled faintly: "I am in your hands now, and I can't help me when I come and go, and I can't help me when I die. Will my truth have any impact on you?"

“…”

"It's too cold now, and every bit of my strength wants to be used to resist the cold."

After saying that, I turned around and walked forward.

But just as I turned around, the hand that was still with the hot body temperature suddenly reached over and grabbed my hand.

I didn't look back, but I was grabbed like this and couldn't move.

He said behind him, "I just said that you are in everything I am sure of, and I firmly believe that you are in the future, and this future is now in front of you. I don't want this knot between us forever, because we still have a long way to go in the future, so I want to explain everything to you before entering Beijing, and I want you to explain it clearly to me."

“…”

It seems that there is no way to avoid it.

I took a deep breath and slowly turned my head to look at him.

An umbrella was between the two people. Although he grabbed my hand, because there was always a little distance between the two people, the umbrella could only cover half of each person's body. The snow fell on the umbrella. Although there was no sound around, he and I were quiet, but the sound made me feel indescribable noise.

Just like these days, there is no quiet dream.

And in such a noise, he and I were silent, and no one spoke easily.

He is still waiting for my answer.

I thought for a long time and said softly: "Ask me, what's wrong with you?"

“…”

"If you want to gain strength, gain power, achieve your career, set a goal and fight for it, you can't extricate yourself... In fact, there is nothing wrong with these."

“…”

"You have been fighting with Pei Yuanhao until now, and you are indeed a life-and-death battle. At the beginning, you were forced to withdraw from the capital and avoid Beijing. Later, you occupied Jiangnan and gained a place to fight for your own survival. These things cannot be considered wrong if you stand on your side."

“…”

"I have accepted all this when I married you."

“…”

"If a man has no ambitions and only knows how to sing the wind and the moon all day long, and only talks about love, I will definitely look down on him."

“…”

"Everyone has his own necessity. Everyone has done something against their will in order to survive in this world." I said, looking up at him, and smiled faintly: "Just like what you have advised me in the past, people are not Buddhas, but original sins."

He subconsciously stepped forward: "Then you-"

"But," I interrupted him neatly and said, "You are wrong. You kill innocent people in order to gain strength, and then bully the weak after gaining strength. Those lives and blood debts are not something you can sit in a high position, and have power, and you can wash them white and pay them off by yourself."

Seeing his face getting paler and my breath became more and more disordered, I couldn't even help but break free from his hand: "Even Yue Qingying, my friend, what's the crime she has for her?"

“…”

"Why can't you let go of a Buddhist disciple?!"

"..." There were not many expressions on his face. Perhaps it was because it was too cold at this time. The cold wind made people's face numb and they couldn't make any expressions. His pupils seemed to be stained with the cold air of ice and snow. After a while, he said slowly: "Yes, I did lie to you at that time. I promised you to find her, but I - after I confirmed her identity, I killed her."

“…”

"You are right, she is not guilty."

“…”

"She just knows too much."

My heart trembled.

Yue Qingying - Jingxu, when she heard about this person's life experience from Zhao Shuyuan, it was really like she was carrying a death talisman. When I met her, I was walking towards Jinling. That night, the ship was like sending her to the Yellow Springs Road, and there was no way to look back.

Thinking of this, thinking of the lonely and helpless woman who experienced the fear and pain in the last years of her life, I felt that the sourness in my heart could not stop surging up. When I spoke, my voice became hoarse: "But why do you have to kill her? There are many ways to shut up, even if you keep her for the rest of your life!"

He looked at me and said softly: "If you keep her for the rest of your life, she will suffer."

“…”

"Nothing can be better than death to shut up a person

“…”

"As long as she is still alive, there will be flaws and troubles, but that knife can end her pain and make my mind complete."

When he said these words, he was gentle and calm, just like the snow falling on an umbrella.

Mumble, like a lover whispering.

But it made my heart even colder.

"Yeah……?"

“…”

"So, that's how you think...?"

“…”

"For you, means are just a way to success. As long as you can succeed, you will use any means, right?"

He said deeply: "Little, the Buddhist scriptures say that there is no right or wrong, only cause and effect; there is no good or evil, only different minds. If you keep entangled in the right or wrong of these means, how can you achieve great things?"

I looked up at him: "Then... you have killed so many people, and you have thought about what kind of fruit you will bear when you planted?"

"..." He was slightly stunned.

"You haven't thought about it? Do you think that today's relationship between you and me is one of the consequences?"

His expression sank.

I smiled miserably and said, "You have been trying to make me look back, but who is it that makes me less and less unable to turn back?"

"Light!" He suddenly called me, and his voice trembled a little, but after calling me, he seemed to have no idea what to say, just held my shoulder with one hand and even clenched my collarbone slightly.

I understand that he is also afraid.

After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "I thought you would understand... You should understand too."

“…”

"A general's success has been broken. None of the successful people has no blood on their hands, and none of them is absolutely innocent. Which person in high positions has no past that cannot be turned back? Which person has no memory of being ashamed of the sun?"

“…”

"Why do you only look at what I have done, why do you only look at our past? Why can't you look forward and see our future!"

"Our...in the future?"

I raised my head and looked at him with a little bit of silence, and he took another step forward, almost touching my body. The warm breath emitted from his body completely enveloped me. He looked down at me and said softly: "Yes, our future. After I ascend the throne, I will work diligently and love the people and benefit the people. As long as this world belongs to me, how can I bear to destroy and kill?"

“…”

"I can see our future, I can see me send everything to you, make up for your regrets and heal your pain, but why can't you see my future?"

I said sadly: "I can't believe what I see in front of me. What do you want me to believe in a future that I can't see?"

“…”

At this moment, his breath was also suffocated.

No illusory promise is as good as the facts I have seen. For someone like him, he believes more deeply than me.

He looked at me silently for a long time, then slowly turned his head and looked at the white snow scene beside us. He hadn't seen such heavy snow in the south for more than ten years. The whiteness of the world can make many southerners ecstatic, and only those who have experienced it know that there are countless filth hidden under these white as jade.

He said softly: "Qingying, have you never killed anyone? You are from Hongyan Tower, have you not had any wronged souls in your hands?"

This time, I was speechless.

It’s not that I can’t answer, but that I can’t answer.

He obviously knew that not only Hongyan Tower, but also in the Imperial City, there were more than one life that had been ruined by me. I am not even stranger to murder than him.

He looked at me slowly and said, "Why did you kill those people?"

“…”

"Because you also understand that many things are not something you and I are willing to do, but we all have to do. If we don't do this, we can't live."

“…”

"Do you think I have never suffered, do you think I am born like this, and I am happy with killing and war?"

“…”

"I have struggled, and I have suffered."

When he said this, although the expression on his face was chilling, I could tell the struggle and pain he had in his dark eyes.

I said softly, "What about the end? Why did you choose this path?"
