Martial Arts School.
Xue Tongchui looked up at Lin Ye: "Brother Xiaosi, am I great?"
Lin Ye nodded: "Awesome."
Xue Tongchui: "Can you also give me that one?"
He pointed at Zinai's mountain axe.
Lin Ye said: "Can you use an ax?"
Xue Tongchui shook his head: "I don't know how, but I can practice. My aunt's ax is so good. I saw it. It can hit Xiao Si's knife faster than a bow and arrow."
Lin Ye: "Then what did you practice playing?"
Xue Tongchui: "I want it for my brother Ning Si, so that my brother Ning Si can beat me."
Lin Ye looked back at Ning Zhu, who was moved as he crossed his arms.
Ning Zhu said passionately: "We are from the same family, and we are brothers."
Xue Tongchui: "You can believe this kind of nonsense. I knew that children can lie when I was four years old."
Ning Zhu: "..."
Lin Ye thought for a while and suddenly thought of a pretty good idea.
He decided to separate part of the heavy iron Ning Weimo gave him and make a brick for Xue Tonghammer.
Normal people would not have this kind of thought. To be precise, anyone who is abnormal and not that outrageous would not have it.
The heavy iron is priceless. Ordinary people in the world would be overjoyed if they could occasionally obtain a heavy iron that could be made as big as a flying needle.
But Lin Ye planned to use such a precious thing to make bricks.
"Brother Xiaosi."
Xue Tongchui said: "I want an ax like my aunt's, but it's hard to get one."
Lin Ye: "It's really troublesome to get exactly the same axe."
Xue Tongchui: "Then let me change to a simple one. How about you take me with you to Geling? His Majesty said that he will take you with him when he returns to Geling."
Lin Ye said: "I finally understand that children can not only lie, but also use tricks."
Xue Tongchui: "I knew it when I was four years old."
He said: "Actually, I could pee myself at that time, but I still let you pee on me because I was lazy."
He said: "Who wants to go out to pee with their bare buttocks just after getting out of the warm bed?"
Lin Ye: "I'm sorry."
Xue Tongchui: "Why do you say that?"
Lin Ye: "I didn't think highly of you when you were four years old."
Xue Tongchui: "It doesn't matter, just take me with you when you go to Geling."
Lin Ye: "Will I only take you with me?"
Xue Tongchui pointed at Ning Zhu. Ning Zhu was moved again at this moment. Then he saw Xue Tongchui pointing at him and saying, "There is also my mount."
Lin Ye looked at Ning Zhu, who nodded, bent down, picked up Xue Tong, and carried it upside down.
Xue Tongchui was swinging there with his head down. He also said: "How about you take him with you? He can be taken care of easily. There is no need to open a room for him when staying in the hotel. Just let him live in a stable." Buy him food and let him steal fodder from other people’s mounts.”
Lin Ye looked at Ning Zhu: "Listen, he is both good and bad to you."
Ning Zhu said: "Ever since I discovered that there is no weapon more handy than him, he has wanted to take advantage of me."
Lin Ye: "..."
These are true brothers. One treats the other as a mount and the other as a weapon. As long as there is a little bit of fakeness, at least there is some respect for each other and treat each other as individuals.
Just as he was talking, Lin Ye saw Sui Qingqu coming outside the martial arts gym and didn't know when, so he stood there and looked at him.
You also hurriedly went out. When he walked to the door, Sui Qing shook her head at him, indicating that he didn't need to come out.
But Lin Ye didn't listen and quickly walked out of the martial arts hall.
Sui Qing went and said, "I want to go to Geling first, earlier than you. If you come to Geling and come to me for anything, use this."
He threw a whistle to Lin Ye.
Lin Ye looked down and felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest at this moment.
He remembered that when he was a child, he was probably three or four years old, about the same age as when he first met Xue Tongchui.
He would always pester his brother to hide and seek, and his brother would always deliberately make some noise with the whistle so that he could find it.
He looked down at the whistle. Although it was not what he remembered, his mood suddenly became agitated and it was difficult to calm down.
When he looked up again, Sui Qingqu had already left.
Lin Ye wanted to shout, but Sui Qing, who was already far away, waved towards him.
He looked down at the whistle in his hand again, and an inexplicable sentence appeared in his mind.
The leaves fall with the wind and go away gently...is it a leaf?
Suddenly he looked up and saw Sui Qingqu's shadow somewhere.
At the same time, Yunzhou Mansion dungeon.
Xumi Pianruo sat opposite Tuoba Lie. Looking at the crippled former tyrant, he was filled with emotion. Thousands of words condensed into one sentence... Lin Ye's group of people were more capable than them. He was much more ruthless in Dongbo.
"I know, you don't want to say anything. At this point, you probably just want to die as soon as possible."
He sat there with his legs crossed, as if he was an old friend who was very familiar with Tuoba Lie.
Tuoba Lie was lying on the stone bed, looking at the roof with a slightly hollow look.
Xumi Pianruo's words had not even the slightest impact on him.
"I actually didn't expect you to say anything."
Xumi Pianruo said: "After all, you are actually just a puppet who was pushed to the stage. What can you say, saying that you are pitiful? No, I know you are not that kind of person."
Love reading books
Tuoba Lie still didn't make any movement. Xumi Pianruo's words were provocative enough, but he didn't seem to hear a single word.
Xumi Pianruo continued: "I now suspect that the reason why you were defeated was precisely because of your unruliness."
"Because you are disobedient. The people behind you want to support you, and of course they want to control you. But if you want to support but are disobedient at the same time, they probably want to replace you."
At this time, Tuoba Lie turned his head and looked at Xumi Pianruo. After just one glance, Xumi Pianruo subconsciously moved back.
Tuoba Lie said calmly: "You are very good, so you can be reused by the emperor."
After saying this, he turned his head back.
This made Xumi Pianruo feel a little frustrated. In front of someone with a truly strong heart, his words seemed to have lost their effect.
"You don't want them to die together?"
Xumi Pian is a bit more direct.
He said: "If my guess is correct, there are many people behind you."
"After His Majesty and you fought against the rebellion in Geling City, they discovered that their previous judgment of Your Majesty was wrong."
"But by the time they realized this, it was too late. They could no longer openly put pressure on His Majesty as before."
Xumi Pianruo leaned forward: "So they disguised themselves. On the surface, they are all obedient and loyal ministers. They may even withdraw from the court to express their stance."
"But they won't give up. You were their choice, and they must have been looking for you after that counterinsurgency."
At this time, Tuoba Lie turned his head and looked at Xumi Pianruo, and still said calmly: "You didn't think of this yourself, this is what the emperor asked you to tell me."
Xumi Pianruo frowned.
Tuoba Lie said: "Go back, I just want to be clean. If you want to make meritorious deeds, find another way."
Xumi Pianruo said: "You should know that the arrow shoots the first bird. There are so many birds in the forest, but it is you. I don't believe it will be easy to feel like being taken advantage of."
Tuoba Lie looked at the roof this time. He didn't seem to answer his words, but said to himself: "You thought it was a bird, but you never thought about it, what if it was a forest?"
Xumi Pianruo's eyes opened wider.
Tuoba Lie said: "The emperor keeps winning, it doesn't matter, but he can't lose even once."
He said calmly.
"A bird thinks that when it stands on a tree, the tree is its territory, and when it flies through the jungle, the jungle is its territory."
"The emperor has always felt that if a tree is not good, he should cut it down, so that other trees will be obedient."
"But in a forest, the important thing is not what birds are in the forest, but the forest itself... As long as the woods are still there, they can make any kind of bird fly to high places."
Speaking of this, Tuoba Lie seemed to have lost interest.
Xumi Pianruo knew that Tuoba Lie did not say these words to him, but wanted him to bring them to the emperor.
What Tuoba Lie means is that it doesn't matter if you chop down one tree, it doesn't matter if you chop down ten trees.
As long as most of the trees are still there, the forest won't care about you.
But when you want to cut down the entire forest, you don’t even have a place to live.
Without trees, no matter how fertile the land seems, it will turn into a desert sooner or later.
What the emperor has to deal with is not other birds, but an entire forest.
Xumi Pianruo stood up and exhaled a long breath involuntarily when he reached the door.
I don't know why, but when Tuoba Lie didn't speak, he tried his best to make Tuoba Lie talk.
After Tuoba Lie spoke, he felt no sense of accomplishment at all, and even felt extremely depressed.
It was as if he was already in a dark, boundless forest and couldn't get out.
No matter which direction you look, all you see are towering trees that block out the sky and the sun.
Those branches looked like ghosts with teeth and claws, and there were ferocious faces on the trees.
There was a sentence that kept floating in his mind, as if attached to the depths of his soul.
The emperor can win all the time, it doesn't matter, but if he loses once, he has nothing.
Xumi Pianruo was thinking whether he should truthfully tell His Majesty these words.
If so, what kind of look would there be on His Majesty's face?
Just when he was in a daze, Tuoba Lie in the room said something again.
"You plant new saplings where you cut down the big trees, thinking that these saplings were planted by yourself and will be obedient in the future, but you forget that when these saplings you planted by yourself also become towering trees When the time comes, they will discover that they are of the same kind as trees, not birds.”
Tuoba Lie looked at the back of the young man at the door and asked in a voice that still sounded calm but eerie as if it came from hell.
"You yourself are also a tree, but you haven't woken up yet."
