Law of the Devil Chapter 486: [You don’t deserve it]
Chapter 486 [You Are Not Worthy]
Du Wei didn't let innocent people die ... even he did such things himself.
But at this moment, looking at the innocent tailor in front of me, watching the tears in this man's eyes, the weak cry, unable to control the sorrow of his fate ... Suddenly, Du Wei felt that he had said everything Not coming out.
What can I say?
Did I tell him that he was sacrificing the ego to take care of the big picture? In order not to allow the royal family and the church to have a chance to turn their faces, and to prevent the evil religious forces from continuing to expand, if the church overwhelms the majesty of the emperor, then the church will further make the central government unbearable in the future? Or I told him that if he was killed alone, he could avoid more bloodshed and friction?
Yes, that's the rationale. Even for some time, Du Wei has been accustomed to standing on the "high" and looking down at the people below, then using these "avenues" to judge, measure, and then make some decisions that he thinks are noble: decide to let Who is sacrificed, who is left to be preserved.
Yes, sometimes Du Wei struggled, hesitated, and contradicted. But afterwards he gradually became numb, and he convinced himself inside: these are all right! I am "taking care of the big picture".
But ...
Now looking at the Grum in front of me and the tears of this innocent tailor, he suddenly feels that it is really hard to say the so-called "care for the whole situation".
Grum ’s words are actually very simple, very straightforward, and there is no depth at all, but it is such a depth that makes Du Wei unable to answer, or even say a word:
"I don't understand. I'm a good person. I didn't miss anything. I treat my job with all my heart. I love my family ... But why should I die somehow? Yes, I'm a small person, It ’s a small ground ant, but my life. Can I be taken away at will? "
I'm going to be sacrificed because I'm a little person and a ant?
Can my life be taken away at will?
Why?
Who gave you the right to "sacrifice" and "not sacrifice"?
Who gave you this power?
When Du Wei flashed this thought in his mind, all of a sudden he was sweating cold! !!
Looking at the tailor's tears in front of me, the desperate despair, anger ...
Du Wei couldn't help asking himself: such a random trial and determining a person's fate ... what am I?
I am like this. Such a prince Chen, such us ... What is the difference between the goddess of light and that bitch?
Yes, we are high up, looking down at all beings, and we use the ground to determine the fate of these ants.
But what are we? Is it God? ? Do we really have the power to deprive anyone of their lives?
Looking at the big picture? So to sacrifice? But those who were sacrificed. What about his intention? Can I ignore it?
What about so-called "little people" like Grum? From his standpoint, he just wanted to live his own life in peace and save his humble life ... Where was he wrong?
All the time, even Dewey felt it very clearly: his own heart. It gradually became cold, hardened, became cold-blooded, and became cruel.
But the same thing, Dewey always thinks that there is nothing wrong with this. This is the world, you do n’t eat people, then you wait to be eaten. many things. If you are soft-hearted, what awaits you is a more miserable ending.
So when the beautiful woman was sent to the prairie, the bright eyes like Haoyue did not soften Du Wei. Although he also struggled afterwards, he still strongly encouraged himself: this is a last resort That's right!
Maybe. Nowadays. I met a more mediocre and innocent person like Grum. Suddenly, Du Wei's already cold heart suddenly recovered a trace of warmth.
Yes ... the girl in the original place went without hesitation. Instead of refusing, she went with a sacrifice mentality ... Therefore, Du Wei didn't seem to think so deeply.
But what about Grum? He was forced! He was forced, he couldn't go, he didn't want to die, but he had to die.
This time, although the person who made the decision is not Du Wei, he is a faithful executor.
"It seems I'm still not tough enough." After appeasing the poor tailor, Du Wei walked out of the hall. The effort of the day was not wasted, at least Du Wei was full of confidence in the banquet the day after tomorrow.
But the night wind blows on his face, but he doesn't feel a little relaxed.
Yes, feel soft ...
Even Du Wei himself can't tell what he is thinking at this moment. Perhaps it was just a moment of compassion.
He looked up at the sky, accelerated his pace, and decided to go back to the room to change clothes first, and then he would go back to the Duke's Mansion tonight, because he had sent the elder guard to smoke Mr. Lan Haiyue .
But when Dewey returned to his temporary residence in the palace, he walked into this courtyard suddenly and suddenly slowed down!
There was a faint flash of light in his squinting eyes. He subconsciously looked at the two court attendants in the courtyard. Two young waiters were holding a broom to sweep the falling snow in the courtyard, and saw Du Wei in the distance. Walked in, hurriedly bowed and saluting, their faces were normal and nothing changed.
And Du Wei stared tightly at his bedroom.
Looking back and looking, the court guard outside the courtyard was also very calm ...
Du Wei's face showed an imperceptible smile, walked slowly, and waved to the two waiters: "Go out, don't let people enter the yard without my order."
After speaking, he strode to the door of his room and pushed in.
In the dark room. Du Wei took his own steps and walked to the wall to light the fireplace. Under the blazing fire, he turned around and laughed: "I originally wanted to rush to see you, but you didn't think you were Come here first. "
When he turned around, behind a soft bench, Lan Haiyue smiled and looked at Du Wei. The old body was wrapped in a blanket and crouched in a soft chair.
Du Wei lit the fireplace, and the old man stretched his neck against the warm flame, sighed, and said slowly: "Still the fire is warmer. Well, people are old, their bodies just don't work."
"I didn't expect you to run to see me first." Du Wei thought for a while, "Isn't I asked you to wait for me in my duke's house?"
Lan Haiyue blinked: "But Lord Duke. Didn't you write the word" urgent "on the palm of the coming person? Since it is an urgent matter, I'm idle anyway, so come here first. And You, but the country's most important minister. "
Du Wei snorted and snapped. Unscrew a wine bottle and motioned to Lan Haiyue. The old man shook his head: "I'm old, something like wine doesn't suit me."
Du Wei raised his head and took a big sip, and finally he was relieved. It seems as if he should exhale the depression in his heart with this breath, he glanced at the old man: "When you came in, no one noticed?"
Lan Haiyue smiled slightly: "I'm afraid there is no strong person who can detect my whereabouts."
Du Wei nodded: "That's right."
With Lan Haiyue's ability, one of Daxueshan's three great disciples, who can surpass him in this world, can be counted with a few fingers. The whole emperor, maybe someone in the temple can let the blue sea be jealous, but now there is not even a holy order in the palace.
"I have a long, long story to tell you. Sir." Du Wei put down the bottle and smiled bitterly: "I need some wise advice now, or ... guide. I don't think so Who else can have the wisdom of the sea like you. "
Lan Haiyue smiled very peacefully, and those eyes that did not match his old age were bright as stars.
Du Wei was not polite to the university student, and didn't even have a hint of vigilance. He started to tell straightforwardly.
He first started to talk about the sinners in the north, and then said that the Dragon Mountain of the Dragon Tribe had fallen. Huge criminals will invade in the near future ...
When he finishes this paragraph. He noticed Lan Haiyue's expression, but the old man's face was calm. As if without a trace of surprise.
"You ... know?" Dewey frowned.
"Should I be surprised?" Lan Haiyue calmly said, "I know some ancient legends, there are some ancient records on the Daxue Mountain. And, in recent years, the empire has suddenly changed its former procrastination. The Northwest Army was annihilated first by thunder, settled internally, and spent a large amount of military expenditure to expand the army. It also piled up such a 'Kaspersky defense line' with money at no cost in the north. It ’s awful enough to get up to the ground. Well, anyway, smart people can see that you have made such a great effort in the north, and you are naturally prepared to deal with it. It is not difficult to think of those legends ... Guess the answer. And, do n’t forget, Philip is my student. "
Du Wei shrugged, "I'll know."
"I have only three years." Du Wei smiled bitterly: "Of course, three years have passed now. I must prepare for the most time. The more fully prepared the better! I must In the shortest time, pull out all possible unstable factors! So, I must take some unconventional methods in the way of doing things ... "
"You mean some mean and dirty and cruel means?" Lan Hai asked indifferently.
"..." Du Wei froze and nodded: "But say so."
Due to this, Du Wei quickly told the sudden sudden death of the old emperor, as well as the current problems on the one hand, and he did not cover up to Lan Haiyue.
When he said that now Prince Chen and he had conspired to prepare a stand-in to hide at the banquet the day after tomorrow. At the same time, he mentioned this poor tailor named Grum and also said that he could not bear it.
"When he said 'unfair', I really felt a little strange." Du Wei sighed. "Suddenly I couldn't understand what I did. Even ... I had some doubts. Well, can you see what I mean? "
"Probably understand a little." Lan Haiyue's tone suddenly taunted: "Suddenly conscience found out, right?"
"... That's right." Du Wei heard the mocking tone of the other side, but he didn't care.
He looked at the wise old man in front of him, his eyes full of expectation.
After a long time, Lan Haiyue moved her body and moved her body closer to the fire. Then his eyes looked at the fire in the fireplace, but he sighed and lightened with a disdainful tone. Lightly: "It's a pity, it's a pity ... Du Wei, I thought you had become a true leader now. I was once comforted and appreciated by you for this progress. But ... hum, from you today It seems that you are still far behind! Compared with Prince Chen, you are a child with no hair at all. I really want to persuade you if this is the case You might as well take advantage of the fact that you are still in favor now, resign to the northwest lord position to the emperor Chen, surrender military power, and then move to a small city in the south to live a mediocre farmer life. Because ... Not worth it! "
Du Wei's words were stunned by these harsh words.
He stared at Lan Haiyue and asked in amazement: "Am I right? Mr. Lan Haiyue, I asked you for some guidance, but you scolded me? I'm not worth it?"
