"Ran Ning, do you think... your eyes are now showing sadness?"
"Yes! And it's not just sadness. I'm in grief now. I don't want to live, I'm heartbroken, and I'm about to urinate in pain."
"So... now, are you also thirsting for blood?"
"Blood? That's okay, what I need now is bandages and painkillers, and a strong dog."
"...What do you want a big dog for? Your hand just broke, and there are many people here, I don't recommend you to play those unethical perverted games."
"Fuck, I am going to close the door and let the dog go, kill a friend who turned a blind eye to a broken hand and broke the broken hand of a friend. After rioting the injured person early in the morning, he was a cold-blooded beast full of nonsense!"
Yin Ning’s words are true. Since last night, she has sighed for her innocence and victimization more than once. Gong Jin, who is in charge of giving orders, only speaks. The plan is carried out easily and comfortably, but she is responsible for the actual work. In the end, I didn’t get any benefits, but my left arm was broken in three days, and now I can perform a 90-degree vertical turn. It’s not worth the gain.
Gong Jin told Yan Ning what happened last night. He is not a man who likes to discuss issues with people, but if he says something and wants to drink and chat with people, that person must be Yan Ning. This has been the case for more than four hundred years, and both parties are accustomed to this situation...From this point on Above all, he and Xiao Qiao’s loneliness are actually very similar.
After listening to Gong Jin's words, Yan Ning put away her ridiculous smile, her expression turned serious, and said: "Gong Jin, you must think her words are ridiculous, right?"
"Isn’t it? You who often suffer from occupational diseases on the battlefield and can’t stop your behavior. It’s more like you. I don’t think I’m particularly bloodthirsty. Killing and blood, I’m not special Desire, even if I solve things without hurting lives, I won’t feel dissatisfied."
"Really? My friend, one thing I think I have to clarify first is that my murderousness on the battlefield is not entirely due to the result of years of fighting with demons. Sometimes I often ask myself, If I had the power of a master, I might bloodbath this continent, destroy everything, and turn it into a dark world."
Yin Ning said: "I am different from those of you who want to save the world all day long. Whether this continent or this world will still exist tomorrow, I will not feel any pain. The humans I have seen, they No one is a good thing, more hateful than the demons. If you choose me, I will destroy the entire continent together with the humans and demons above when the demons re-invade. From then on, I don’t have to worry about the demons invading. Question..."
"Enough, I don't have to say these things, if someone knows, it won't do you any good to me."
Almost sternly, Gong Jin interrupted Yan Ning's words and refused to let her continue, so as to protect her, who is almost the only friend.
As for why Yan Ning would say that, Gong Jin knew very well in his heart.
The mixed blood between Guiyi and humans will have characteristics on the outside, or have long horns, or have odd-shaped patterns on their bodies and faces, and can be as non-abnormal as Yan Ning. It can be said that there is nothing in the world. One, that's why Bailu Cave was oversight at the beginning.
With her unique appearance, Yan Ning could grow up like a normal child, but her mother didn't give her this opportunity. Naming the baby as Jian, full of resentment towards this child, made her grow up in a hateful environment since she was a child.
Living in the filthy Huajie Liuxiang, what Yan Ning has been in contact with since childhood is the dark side of this world. One night when I was nine years old, my mother negotiated the price with the butcher next door, and at the cost of 346 copper coins, let the butcher come into her home.
...That was the first time Yan Ning picked up a guest.
From the information provided by the brothel alliance, Gong Jin read these things and also learned that after her mother died, Yan Ning had accumulated a large amount of money, Chinese clothes, famous cars, and luxury houses, all of which he had accumulated over the past ten years. As a gift to others, he didn't take any money, just put on a white robe at will, left the place of birth without nostalgia, and entered the Bailu Cave after applying for the exam a year later.
Yin Ning likes to laugh very much. When she used to be in a prostitution house, this is the biggest advantage that she can stand out. Every benefactor likes to listen to her laughter, as if this can wash away all the mundane unpleasantness. Simply listening to her laughter would think that she was from a very good aristocratic wealthy family, but she was not lucky enough to fall into a prostitution, but she was still cheerful and optimistic, and became a sunny flower in this filthy and vulgar land.
In the filthy darkness, there is still brilliant sunshine, which is what most people like to see; but only a few people can see it, in the blind corner of the sun, the strong and corrupt darkness The breath, in fact, has never been dispelled.
Gong Jin is one of these very few people. He really understands Yan Ning's deep feelings, so he always covers her side and prevents Su Laotang from catching a handle to attack.
"Stop talking about these things. You and I don't have that kind of power. You don't need to make such unrealistic arguments."
"Really? Gong Jin, but there are some things that cannot be avoided. Even if you think it has been thrown far away, it will still suddenly appear in front of you one day. Just like you knew I would be Bailu Caves bring disasters; just like you and I understand why you want to destroy the ghosts so much, I believe that somewhere in your heart, you want to destroy the world no less than me, this is us The best reason why you can become friends..."
Yan Ning brushed away the thin hair that fell on her forehead, her ethereal eyes, like a ghost in the wind, so beautiful, but so unreal.
"But Gongjin, do you think it's ridiculous? Master saw my darkness, so he asked Su Lao Tang to send me to hunt the demons and vent my murderousness; but to you... a dark *** is not comparable My few people have sent you to build this continent and be responsible for changing dynasties. Isn’t this ridiculous?"
"Master measures materials and applies. The purpose of changing dynasties is to remove blood stasis, make the world better, and cultivate better talents to resist the invasion of demons in the future. I think this is a very far-sighted approach, and I and I You are different, destruction is for construction, and I never cause meaningless killing."
"Is that so? But when will the demons come back? What month and date? If the demons come only after 20,000 years, what kind of world has been changed by us? Gong Jin , You said that you are not bloodthirsty, and you do not kill arbitrarily, but you never seem to have thought that in the past few hundred years, you have continuously changed dynasties and set off rebellious wars, causing more than tens of thousands of deaths and injuries? What is wrong with the demons attacking the world? It's just killing and killing people, Gong Jin, who keeps saying that you are not bloodthirsty, you kill more people than the demons!"
The discussion ends here. For the sake of each other's friendship, Yan Ning and Gong Jin know that it is enough to stop. When they can't change anything, people should know to stop where they should stop and not continue to expose meaninglessness. scar.
It’s just that, whether the conversation this evening is really meaningless, Gong Jin and Yan Ning can’t be sure. They just keep their doubts in their hearts and let time filter everything, as they’re used to getting along. The pattern of communication in the past four hundred years.
※※※
Xiao Qiao defeated Yan Ning for the second time, and she did not rely on the power of the artifact, and was purely based on her own strength. This incident pushed her prestige to a new high the next day, and was dissatisfied with her who was still contemptuous of her. , Now all changed her attitude, giving her the respect and obedience she deserves.
From this day on, it is also the day when the entire rebel army recuperates in Shuilian. Although this mountainous area is hidden, the level of development is not high. Xiao Qiao must assign everyone to carry out their work, cutting wood and building houses, hunting animals, and even counseling the soldiers to temporarily put down their knives and guns. business.
In previous battles, all soldiers obtained a small amount of money from small-scale plunder, not much, but being able to enjoy this small amount of money alive is more important than anything else. This is a part of Xiao Qiao's plan. Because of savings, there will be spending money, and she tried to take some measures to let the soldiers learn to get money from ways other than fighting and plunder.
To perform these tasks, only Xiao Qiao’s ideas are of course insufficient. She needs talents with the ability to execute. This is not easy, because although there are many outstanding fighters in the coalition army, few have read books and have a clear mind. People, so in this situation, the status of Gong Jin and Yan Ning immediately rose.
Both of them are the top talents in Bailudong, both civil and military. As long as a small test, Xiao Qiao can complete the work assigned by Xiao Qiao perfectly. This makes Xiao Qiao reliant on them twice, in addition to promoting them in the Allied Forces. In the status of China, the three people also continue to accumulate "friendship" in their frequent meetings and cooperation.
Gong Jin didn't have any kindness toward this relationship, he just needed to get as much information as possible from Xiao Qiao, to understand how many things were hidden behind the girl. Gong Jin must find out her martial arts, her spells, her growth process, her origin, and what she intends to do.
Xiao Qiao is still a little wary of herself. Gong Jin understands this, but from his point of view, the other party is just a young girl who has not been involved in the world. Even though she is smart and wise, she has limited experience in the world. As long as you take the time to get close, how can there be any reason to not catch it? So Gong Jin bet on his confidence and dignity, and vowed to find out everything about this girl.
In order to find out as much information as possible, and that Zhan has great power in the coalition army, Gong Jin not only works hard to complete the task, but also meets and talks with Xiao Qiao whenever he has time, and wants to learn more about the girl’s heart from these processes. During the period, most of the talks were about various current policies.
"According to the practice of ancient politicians, the soldiers should have been farming in the fields, but we are now in winter, we have no five grains, and the coalition has sufficient grain reserves, so I let the soldiers learn about business dealings; Another reason is that I think Bailudong’s thought of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business is an escape. Such a blindly abolishing business and industry will not improve the productivity of society, and it will not make progress."
Standing on the hill, Xiao Qiao and Gong Jin looked down. It was no longer a wasteland when they first arrived. Many stalls have already taken shape, like a lively market, in compliance with the market regulations written on the four sides of the entrance. , Buying and selling all kinds of goods, some of the stalls have even become quite large, expanded and developed into shops.
Looking down from the mountain, you can smell the aroma of many different foods, as well as the sound of people coming and going. Currently, the things that are bought and sold are mainly different diets of various ethnic groups and regions, and they are also taken from nearby The regional wood products, although there are not many tricks, are a good start.
Frequent transactions require accurate accounting. To achieve this, there must be talents who can settle accounts. However, more than 90% of the soldiers here have never read to read, let alone have accounting knowledge. This is Tao Qian and Gong Jin’s task, in addition to the daily administration, they are also responsible for opening classes and teaching, imparting these knowledge, and further promoting the prosperity of this market.
Xiao Qiao’s plan is not only that, there are many other courses underway, including cultural affairs and martial arts. It is very boring to stay in the barren mountains all winter. In order to relieve this loneliness, those who thought they were Soldiers who fall asleep as soon as they sit down still choose to join in the study and get new inspiration from it.
Whether it is teaching knowledge or doing business, Xiao Qiao also has another far-reaching policy. Through clever arrangement, she breaks up the distribution of the original forces, allowing everyone to coexist with the originally unfamiliar races and humans. If you don't learn to cooperate and live in harmony, many things cannot be accomplished.
It is not easy to implement these tasks, and not everyone is willing to cooperate. Even if they are on the same front for the time being, the Guiyi tribe, orcs, and thieves are in conflict with each other. Fighting side by side does not mean that they agree with each other. The three races There are still discrimination and disagreements. If they have a choice, they will of course continue to get along with their tribesmen and will not interact with foreigners, so as to avoid the possibility of splitting.
But Xiao Qiao did not give them such a choice, and used various positive methods to induce people of different races to communicate and cooperate intensively. Under such a relationship, they accumulated a foundation of mutual trust and gradually resolved each other's differences. In three months, she hopes to eliminate the instability factors within the coalition as much as possible, so as not to let these things become fatal injuries in the future.
Gong Jin is very sure of Xiao Qiao's intentions in this regard, but she doesn't seem to agree with her encouragement of farming, weaving and commerce.
"Does it make sense to teach the soldiers this? These people are either thieves or barbarians. If they want them to use knives to hack people and plunder money, they will cry out loudly; if they want them to learn to live a normal life, how can they be normal? ?"
"Brother Yu, I am also a barbarian, please also give us some respect for the ghosts."
As if to emphasize this point deliberately, Xiao Qiao shook his head, the sharp horns on his forehead were extremely dazzling.
"I believe they are willing to learn, Brother Yu, whether it is the thieves or the ghosts, many of them are peasants who are safe and self-defeating. They are forced to live so that they resist. Yes, if they are given a chance, they actually only want to live in peace, without being hurt, and without hurting anyone."
"Really? But with all due respect, we should use this winter to strengthen the combat skills of the soldiers as much as possible. The stronger their combat power, the more dominant we will be when we come back in spring. You let the soldiers When they start business, the smoother they do, the more relaxed their hearts will be. When they come back in spring, they will directly throw away their weapons and become the common people. What should we do then?"
"Yes, defeating Eltinol is our goal, but is the battle just for destruction? What should we do when the war is over? Soldiers cannot fight forever. When the war destroys everything, I I don’t want everyone to feel nothing but nothing but gains. In order to be able to sown the seeds of construction at that time, I want to let everyone know now what we are fighting for."
Speaking of this, Xiao Qiao once again gave Gong Jin a peculiar feeling, as if she was not a powerful leader, but an ideal girl who loves to dream.
This feeling has often appeared recently, especially as everyone’s friendship has gradually deepened. What I heard from Xiao Qiao’s mouth was never how to fight for power and stabilize the ruling power, but how to change the world. Whenever they listened to this, Gong Jin and Yan Ning felt weird, wondering why this girl was under great pressure and launched a revolution to Eltinol?
She is a ghost, but she is full of thoughts about promoting racial harmony; she has taken the position of the leader with great pains, but she has never done anything for herself. On the contrary, she has a whole heart. They are used by the members of the entire alliance.
"I'm sorry, I think I have to say, Xiaoqiao, you are too idealistic, even if these people have the skills to make a living? They were originally forced into thieves by the harsh environment, even if they want to Going back to live a previous life, corrupt officials and harsh punishments will also force them to become thieves again, besides..."
Gong Jin originally wanted to say-"When a person wants to degenerate, there is always an excuse to find." But Xiao Qiao was the first to speak.
"They will never go back to live their previous lives."
Not looking at Gong Jin, Xiao Qiao stared under the hills, watching people coming and going, with a pleased smile on his face.
"As long as they are given fair laws and fair chances of survival, they will definitely live better than before. As for how to organize such an environment for them, that is our responsibility and the reason why we are gathered here. Reason...the reason why we want revolution."
As if saying a certain vow, Xiao Qiao's calm and delicate face showed a very serious expression.
Seeing this look next to him, Gong Jin suddenly felt unhappy. This girl wants revolution, she wants to change the dynasty. The things that the two do are so similar, but why is there such a big difference in the mood of the two?
I've never believed in something like her, clinging to a certain idea, and desperate for oneself. I don't know what kind of mood it is?
Thinking of this, Gong Jin couldn't help but feel jealous of Xiao Qiao. He stepped back a little to prevent Xiao Qiao from seeing his expression at the moment... It was a sneer with a gloomy atmosphere.
No matter how good this woman is, she is nothing but a base species with the blood of ghosts and barbarians. She is not worthy to fly to the sky. The more lofty the ideal, the heavier and harder she will fall in the end, and she will definitely Witnessed the pleasant and tragic ending on the sidelines.
It's just that while a cold smile appeared on his lips, a thought flashed through Gong Jin's mind.
(If Xiao Qiao is not a ghost...)
When this thought flashed through his mind, the smile on Gong Jin's face suddenly froze, and he shook his head vigorously, throwing this meaningless thought out of his mind.
※※※
Time flies quickly. In the blink of an eye, a month has passed. The coalition forces with sufficient food are living a cold but warm winter in the Huaguo Mountain area. Although the weather is bad, everyone’s heart is stable and comfortable, as if they were crystal clear. The first snow has been washed.
Xiao Qiao’s strategy has been implemented very successfully. Whether it is advocating business or mentoring ethnic integration, all these painstaking efforts are rapidly bearing fruit. The efforts of Gong Jin and Yan Ning are absolutely indispensable for being able to have obvious and positive results in a short period of time, especially Gong Jin who wants to gain the trust of Xiao Qiao.
Regardless of the true thoughts in his heart, in the eyes of everyone, Gong Jin, when performing various tasks, is simply working hard day and night. He can be called the most loyal practitioner of Xiao Qiao’s ideals. If he had not taken the lead. Eliminate all disputes, then this newly established Shuilian Town has already had several big weapon fights due to misunderstandings and conflicts, and Xiao Qiao's painstaking efforts have been destroyed.
In addition to the previous food and wood product accidents, the soldiers also tried to barter with the aborigines in the neighboring mountainous areas to obtain some materials and sell them after processing. When the snow fell more and more, the roads to the outside world were gradually closed. , Xiao Qiao guided everyone and started excavation in the nearby mountainous area.
Xiao Qiao didn’t randomly choose hidden locations. The reason why he fancyed the dense forests in the Huaguo Mountain Region was that in addition to being easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the geographical location was concealed, a big reason was that there were abundance here. Minerals, according to records, there were even pits and miners here long ago.
After entering the Huaguo Mountain domain, Xiao Qiao spent time on relocating and prospecting. After a whole month, the location of the vein was rediscovered, and the buried ancient mine pit was opened up and mining officially started.
It took a lot of effort to break through the hard and thick rock formations, especially when the people were not well-equipped and had no tools at hand, so usually Yan Ning or Xiao Qiao was the first to open the way.
Rouge's fierce and fierce Five Sacred Thunders is certainly a good tool for opening up these places, but in the end it is a flesh and blood body; changing into Xiao Qiao, who uses two great artifacts, is simply a destruction wrapped in armor. The devil, the hammer of equality flew out, no matter how hard the rock disk was, it should be shattered by hand, and the power of terror was staggering.
Gong Jin, who hid his own power, has been watching carefully, trying to understand how well Xiao Qiao fits with the two artifacts. The holy armor of fraternity and the hammer of equality seem to be ineffective, but they are the result of a large amount of depletion of the user’s vitality. In the two years of prospects, he fought against the leader of the Guiyi tribe’s rebel army, and the opponent used the equal hammer. He fired thirteen blows, and shot down his weapon on the thirteenth blow. He vomited blood and died.
Xiao Qiao is a delicate daughter. In terms of physical resistance, she is far worse than the thick man. The only thing she can rely on is her pure internal strength. But how long Xiao Qiao’s internal strength can be under the use of the two great artifacts? This is something that Gong Jin is eager to know. He is very likely to prepare to do it with Xiao Qiao, because... the former Tiansu Laotang has already sent it through spies. A secret letter came, asking Gong Jin to choose the time to assassinate this too dangerous woman, and then seize the position of the leader by himself.
(Do you want to assassinate her? When is better? Su Laotang is too impatient at this moment.)
Gong Jin felt very dissatisfied with the interference in his plan, but he did not think deeply about how he felt when he received the assassination of this girl.
"Not good! Hurry up, everyone!"
The meditating Gong Jin suddenly heard an exclamation and repeated screams. Xiao Qiao, who had been crushed in the depths of the mine, rushed out along with a few **** soldiers, chasing some kind of unknown behind them. The famous giant and fierce beast, seemingly tangible and intangible, not only swallowed the soldiers who couldn't avoid it, but Xiao Qiao's equal hammer even passed through them without hurting them.
(This...this is not a real beast, but an energy body formed by power or magic...)
Xiao Qiao seems to have seen this. Putting aside the hammer of equality, he wants to use magic to set up a barrier, and this approach does have an effect. A rapidly forming barrier temporarily blocks the evil like a leopard. The beast allowed others to escape, but Xiao Qiao, who was trying his best to spread the barrier, did not find an evil beast pierced through the rock wall and attacked in the gap of her vest.
"Get down."
In order to hide his identity, Gong Jin’s usual whip weapon was not carried with him. At this time, he could only rush at high speed by himself, trying to pull the person away. As for when he should start the assassination, Gong Jin had no idea. The only thought that exists is not to let this girl die here, die at this moment.
Bailudong’s fastest posture allowed Gong Jin to knock Xiao Qiao down at the very moment of his death, and when the two faces were only a few inches apart, he saw Xiao Qiao’s eyes flash with gratitude. At the same time of gratitude, there was a sharp pain of separation from his vest, and then... he lost consciousness.
