"That's about it."
More than ten days later, Du Chengfeng, who rode back to Yizhou, briefly talked with Liu Bolun about his previous experience.
"Anyway, there will be many masters coming to trouble me in the future... I have to prepare for the battle first, and I have to be in good condition when I start."
"...Would you wait a moment?"
Liu Bolun, who was holding the wine jar, was dumbfounded.
The news was so shocking that he even woke up from drinking.
It doesn't make sense, it really doesn't make sense. Although he sighed all day long, saying that this big Chen was going to be finished, he never thought that this big Chen would really be finished - especially when someone he knew told him seriously, A few days ago, he went out and beat the emperor to death, which made him think that he was not awake yet.
"really?"
Liu Bolun patted his head hard. He still couldn't believe that this kind of nonsense could become a reality.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't rebel? Didn't you still struggle before..."
"I've figured it out."
At this moment, Du Chengfeng's face was filled with openness.
"As for the issue of rebellion... forget it, let me tell you another story about the big tree."
Saying this, Du Chengfeng simply moved an empty jar, sat down, and started talking.
It is said that a long time ago, there was such a big tree standing on the side of the road. Because the big tree was so tall, people stopped under the big tree to take shelter from the rain. As time passed, there were people around the big tree. People gathered around the big tree. The tree established a settlement, eating the fruits that fell from the big tree, and picking up the branches and leaves that fell from the big tree to make fire. With this big tree as their back, they actually lived well.
Then one day, the tree fell.
I don’t know whether it was because of felling, being struck by lightning, or just because the life span was up, but anyway, this big tree fell - at the beginning, people thought it was nothing. After all, their lives had gotten better. They could survive without big trees, but soon, without the firewood and fruits provided by the big trees, people returned to their original poverty-stricken situation.
So, in order to survive, these people left, and this road became desolate again.
"...So what exactly do you want to tell this story?"
Liu Bolun was said to be confused, and his eyes looking at Du Chengfeng were also full of confusion.
If the story about the two big trees he told before was at least somewhat logical, then the story Du Chengfeng told now makes no sense at all. The beginning is not the beginning, and the tail is not the end. He doesn't even Understand what this piece of stuff is talking about.
"If you ask me that, I actually don't know what to say."
Du Chengfeng scratched his head and tried to organize his words.
This kind of thing is actually not easy to summarize. After all, the fable he told is not the kind of fable Liu Bolun said, it is just a very normal thing - the big tree will always grow, and there will always be someone who can discover this big tree. , trees will fall down one day, and people will leave one day. In the long run, these are all things that are bound to happen.
Trees have their own way of living, and people have their own way of living. Maybe they have lived together for a short period of time, but in the end they will only live their own life.
"Maybe it's that way. Life will always find its own way."
After thinking for a long time, Du Chengfeng could only hold back this sentence.
"Just like me beating the emperor to death, this matter from beginning to end is only my own business."
"you……"
Liu Bolun was stunned for a moment.
He can probably understand Du Chengfeng's thoughts.
Just like the inexplicable big tree in the story, it appears inexplicably on the roadside and then disappears inexplicably - from beginning to end, the big tree is living its own life, never and never needs to pay attention to anyone else.
On the contrary, it was those people who gathered under the tree. They were greedy for the benefits brought by the big tree, so they chose to gather under the big tree.
And what does their life and death have to do with the big tree?
The big tree does not need to be responsible for the people under the tree, just like the people under the tree do not care about the thoughts of the big tree itself. They are all lives under the sky, and they need to find their own way out.
"Is this the understanding you have gained these days?"
Liu Bolun's vision began to become blank.
"God has his way?"
"...Who can understand this?"
This time it was Du Chengfeng's turn to not understand. He was really not used to Liu Bolun's story-telling and witty chatting style.
"Anyway, what I mean is that if the people in the city are willing to rebel, that is their own business. I am not familiar with them and I am not their father, so why should I care about their life and death?"
At this point, Du Chengfeng shook his head again.
"Of course, if the breakfast stall I usually go to is smashed by someone, then I will also get angry. Everyone must be responsible for their own actions, and someone must be responsible for me not being able to eat breakfast."
"..."
After hearing what Du Chengfeng said, Liu Bolun, who had just been in a daze, had come back to his senses.
He was startled. Before, he thought Du Chengfeng had really realized something strange, but when he heard these familiar words, he realized that the Du Chengfeng in front of him was still the same unambitious person as before.
Such a person will probably never have anything to do with enlightenment for the rest of his life.
But at this moment, Du Chengfeng suddenly raised his head.
"somebody is coming."
"who?"
Liu Bolun turned his head suddenly, and then he realized that an old man with white hair and beard had appeared in the direction of the door.
The luxurious robes on the old man's body clearly indicate that he came from the palace. Just look at the old man's calm and calm temperament... I'm afraid he is not a master sent from the imperial palace!
"So are you here to hunt me down?"
Du Chengfeng was already excited, and he already had a weapon in his hand.
"Well, now that you're here, take a look at my spurge!"
"Hey, look what you said."
Facing Du Chengfeng who was holding up his big halberd, not only did the old man have no intention of taking action, his old face had turned into a ball of chrysanthemums with a smile.
"How can our family take action against you?"
"……ah?"
Du Chengfeng and Liu Bolun looked at each other, both of them a little confused.
"I have already killed the emperor, shouldn't you..."
"Good kill!"
Before Du Chengfeng could finish speaking, the old man in the palace clapped his hands.
"That treacherous prime minister seduced Your Majesty and usurped power and throne. Everyone got it and killed him! Hero, you kill the false emperor. This is to bring order out of chaos and set the course of the government!"
As he said this, the old man in the palace came over and took Du Chengfeng's hand affectionately.
"It's too late for His Majesty to reward you, so how dare our family dare to fight against you?"
