Fang Zilan pulled out her plum sword impatiently, "Enough nonsense. Since your boss refuses to invite me to talk, I have nothing to say to you. I will just kill him."
"Miss Zixiu, please wait." The second master's expression froze for a moment. He obviously did not expect that Fang Zilan did not care about the life and death of the hostages in his hands, and even cherished his words like gold and did not even say a word for him...
"It doesn't matter if we wait a little longer, you are going to die anyway." Fang Zilan casually held her arm in a sword flower, "Don't worry, I will move quickly and you won't suffer any pain."
Hearing this, the second master froze on the spot, as if unwilling to give up, and said slightly stiffly: "Miss Zixiu, do you really not care about this person's life or death?"
"You care so much." Fang Zilan raised her eyebrows and said coolly: "Would you like my help to kill him too, so that you can have a companion when you go down?"
"Miss Zixiu..." The second master was choked and could not speak. Fang Zilan shrugged indifferently, "Why, you don't want to? Then you can kill him yourself, but don't say I didn't give you a chance. "
The second master looked at Fang Zilan in disbelief, and it took him a while to react. He turned to Li Shengxuan, who was being held as a hostage, and said angrily: "You are so brave that you dare to lie to me?"
His roar made Fang Zilan frown and pick his ears in disgust, looking as if he had been disturbed.
Li Shengxuan ignored the second master at all, only stared at Fang Zilan, pretending to be heartbroken and said: "You took advantage of me, and now you don't want to admit it? You have always been messy and abandoned me, how can your conscience be at peace?"
Fang Zilan coughed slightly and thought to herself, how could a well-behaved little girl like her be charged with a crime that started in chaos and ended up giving up? However, his face remained calm, "Did I do anything to you?"
Her question was innocent and natural, and Li Shengxuan was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "You gave me your wallet, and you even slept with me as we vowed to each other..."
Before he finished speaking, Fang Lihui's expression changed and he started coughing violently. The hand holding the folding fan couldn't help shaking, and he even forgot the polite gesture of covering his face with the fan.
Fang Zilan was indifferent, "Giving you a purse? It's just a casual thing. If I'm interested, it's common for me to give ten or eight gifts a day, not to mention the oath of each other to share the same bed. It's just a bed in one sentence. That's it. What? If all the people with whom I have given each other money and shared the same bed with each other were chasing me to cry and scold me like you, how sad would my life be? Why not kill them all with one sword and have a happy and peaceful life? .”
"You treat me..." Li Shengxuan's figure shook, as if he had been severely hit. "Don't you have any affection for me?"
"It's all just a show of love. Talking about love is a bit extravagant." Fang Zilan turned the plum sword in her hand again and again, and finally turned towards Li Shengxuan, "In this world, love is rare, but it is also the most worthless."
Zhuge Yu slowly said: "Fang Zilan is the sword of the empire. As a sword, it should be invincible and cannot be tied to anything. If Mo Han is tied to her, His Majesty will naturally question whether she is qualified as a sword."
He paused as he spoke, "But Your Majesty knows that as long as you are a human being, you will have weaknesses. So Your Majesty is not doubting Fang Zilan, but whether her weaknesses will become an obstacle to her invincibility. Zhuge Yu dares to guess, this is This is the real reason why His Majesty wants to see Mo Han, isn’t it?”
Li Shengxuan was silent for a moment, then asked without answering: "What if Mo Han is an obstacle?"
"I wonder if your majesty knows how a craftsman can forge a sharp sword?" Zhuge Yu did not answer the question directly. He said quietly: "When a craftsman makes a sword, he first selects materials layer by layer, and then melts them in a furnace to remove impurities. Then he forges them. Hammering and beating repeatedly can only make an iron tool. If you want to make a sharp sword, the last process is also the most important process, which is quenching. If you cannot withstand the test of quenching, you will not be able to make a sharp sword that can cut iron like clay. sword."
He coughed lightly and continued: "Mo Han is to Fang Zilan, just like quenching is to a forged sword. When he dies, that's when the sword comes out. But, at that time..."
Before he could continue, Li Shengxuan said: "It must be an evil sword, killing everyone."
Zhuge Yu nodded slightly, "Everything is too much, and too little is too much. If the sword is forced to take a wrong turn, even if there is a way out, you will still be inferior. I think your Majesty is not willing to break the sword in your hand and give others an opportunity... "
"Zhuge Yu, you have crossed the line." Li Shengxuan interrupted him coldly. He bowed respectfully and said, neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Li Shengxuan let out a long sigh, "I would like to be her source of confidence, but she would rather risk her own life than tell me. Sometimes I wonder, is it her whom I blame and doubt, or myself?"
Zhuge Yu opened his mouth, but he swallowed his words when he heard them. He listened to Li Shengxuan, as if talking to himself, and said in a low voice: "I blame myself for having an unstable foundation. Some people, some things, I have bad intentions." I am powerless and have no choice. I doubt myself and cannot become a wise king. Even the Xiahou family is disheartened and wants to leave me..."
At the end, he suddenly laughed like a self-mockery, "I'm telling you this, do you think it's funny?"
Zhuge Yu bit his lips tightly, forcing himself not to make any sound. It was as if he had accidentally seen the majestic and ferocious beast in the past, cutting open his belly, breaking through all the fragility, and exposing it in front of him.
But he didn't dare, let alone look at it.
But the ferocious beast did not let him go. "When she said that she had no regrets, I realized that she could say these four simple words easily, but I couldn't say them out."
Do you have a clear conscience? Zhuge Yu chewed on these four words secretly, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time. When it comes to achieving the goal, neither Li Shengxuan nor he would be exaggerated to say that they have no regrets. But when it comes to the process, the end justifies the means. Under the rule of success or defeat, if we look closely at the many mistakes that have been covered up, who is really clear about it?
It's not that Li Shengxuan doesn't know, on the contrary, in the supreme position, he understands better than anyone else, but is more stubborn than anyone else. How could he not be a wise king like this?
Zhuge Yu thought about this and said what he thought: "Whether it is true or not, your majesty is a wise king in Zhuge Yu's heart."
He said every word with dignity, "My grandfather once said to me - a king should be among all people, think about the thoughts of all people, and do the things of all people. And the so-called wise king must not only understand the people, but also understand himself. Body. Your Majesty’s words today are well deserved.”
