Chapter 446: Am I Still Me?
The old man stared at Chen Daolin for a long time.
Then he coughed lightly twice, and said slowly in a hoarse and old voice: "Darling Chen, although I still can't see what you want to do, and it's really surprising that you made that mess in Rova City, but I can't guess what your plan is, what you want to do, but at least, one thing, I can be absolutely sure. ” "What" Chen Daolin's expression was a little depressed.
"You" Patriarch Liszt pointed at Chen Daolin's nose: "You will definitely not be loyal to Xiluo."
In other words, you are destined to be the opponent of that emperor. ” "Needless to say" Chen Daolin smiled faintly: "You and I both escaped from the prison in the Xiluo Palace, of course we are not on the right path with that usurper." ” "No, I'm talking about mortal enemies."
Patriarch Liszt shook his head vigorously: "Mortal enemies, and opponents in the ordinary sense, are fundamentally different. ” As he spoke, the old man pointed to his nose and said with a wry smile: "Although I have been forced to come to the northwest now, I will tell you the truth, if His Majesty Shiloh sends an edict to reconcile with my Liszt family, then I will definitely go to the imperial capital as soon as possible to resolve grievances with him."
Of course, this is because he is the emperor, and I am just a family within the empire, and I am desperately fighting against the emperor, and the unlucky one is of course my Liszt family in the end.
But this at least shows one point, that is, under certain conditions, an opponent like me can live in harmony with His Majesty Shiloh.
In addition, don't look at the current tulip family and the emperor are pinching you to the death, as if they are incompatible, and a big war is about to break out.
But if the right conditions are met, maybe the two families will be able to sit down.
Shake hands and make peace, then you will be your emperor and I will be my tulip duke.
Conditions, everything is about conditions.
Especially for such politicians, the more politically they are, the easier it is to make compromises under the right conditions.
Politics is never a life-and-death struggle, it is always a constant compromise and a constant combination.
On the premise of guaranteeing the bottom line, today you let me a little.
I'll let you a little tomorrow.
That's pretty much it. ” Chen Daolin's expression moved: "Then why do you say me?"
"We can all be on good terms with Shiloh, I, the Tulip Family, but only you, Darling Chen, I don't think you will shake hands with Shiloh."
"Why" "Because of the death of Carman and Luo Puppy."
Patriarch Liszt suddenly threw out such a sentence.
With just this sentence, Chen Daolin's face instantly became gloomy, and his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost "When you were in the imperial capital, although Your Majesty Marshi appreciated you, although you were also angry at the usurpation of the throne by Shiloh.
But truth be told, His Majesty Marshe's kindness to you is far from the point where you will be rewarded with death.
You may be grateful for his appreciation and favor for you, but you are nowhere near the point where you can give your life to his allegiance.
And, I know it too.
Before the coup, Shiloh was actually very good to you.
He is also very kind to you and treats you as a friend.
Although in the course of the coup d'état, he calculated you several times.
But according to my estimates.
If it weren't for the death of Kaman and Luo Puppy, you would have been locked up in the palace for a while.
Maybe you'll be relieved, and then, maybe Shiloh will give you a step down, and you'll go down.
Maybe you won't be loyal to Shiloh for a short time, but if you don't make you allegiance, but just let you cooperate with him, then maybe you won't be so resistant.
Maybe after a while, you'll be a great great mage under Shiloh's rule.
I mean, actually, at the end of the day, you and Shiloh don't have that kind of mortal enmity.
You may despise him because he usurped the throne, you may hate him because he forced His Majesty Marshi to death, or you may be a little annoyed that he calculated against you in the process of usurping the throne.
But in the final analysis, he didn't kill your father, didn't rob your wife, didn't take your property, and he has always appreciated you, these grievances can actually be resolved slowly. ” Chen Daolin thought carefully for a while, and actually nodded slowly.
This is the first time he has revealed his heart in front of people so far: "What you say may be reasonable.
But there are no ifs in this world. ” "Even if it's just a hypothesis, just admit it."
Patriarch Liszt shook his head: "It's a pity, at that time, there was an incident that happened to the death of Carman and Luo Xiaopu, which completely cut off the possibility of reconciliation between you and Shiloh."
Chen Daolin did not speak.
"Kaman and Luo Xiaopu, from the identity mountain, in that big turmoil, it doesn't seem to be very inconspicuous, in terms of status, they are just after the famous, rising stars, in that big turmoil, it is far from being significant.
But for you, Darling Chen, it is of great significance, they are your friends.
Or rather, to be seen as your friend. ” When the old man said this, his cloudy old eyes showed a gleam, staring at Chen Daolin: "In the imperial capital, everyone says that you are a genius as Master Darling, whether it is in the field of magic or in business, you have shown amazing talent and talent, and even I heard that you have extraordinary insight and military strategy, but my old man has seen through you, Darling Chen, get rid of those halos on your body, those lights, in your bones, your temperament, in fact, you are just an ordinary person." ” "Ordinary people" Chen Daolin smiled bitterly.
"Yes, just an ordinary person."
The old man's words seemed to be merciless: "Although the people you have friends with are either rich or noble, even the emperor and princes of the empire, and the important ministers and nobles of the empire are friends with you, but in your bones, you are actually an ordinary person, and you have never had the consciousness of being a superior person and a powerful person.
Don't look at you talking about politics, the current situation, and national affairs with others, you talk about the truth, but in fact, in your bones, you are still a small person, just a grassroots. ” "So," Chen Daolin frowned.

"The world of ordinary people.
There will only be right and wrong, black and white.
It's not right or wrong, it's not black or white, the grievances are clear, but the real superiors will pay attention to the pros and cons, pay attention to trade-offs, even if they kill their fathers and enemies, when necessary, they must be able to cooperate, even if they are relatives and friends.
You can also give it up when you need it, but you don't have any of that.
Even now, you may have experienced a lot, your heart has become harder than before, more indifferent than before, and people have become more cunning than before, but the things in your bones have not changed, at least for a long time in the future, it will be difficult for you to change.
In fact, in the bones.
You are a person who is too principled. ” Chen Daolin was speechless.
"Because you're a small person, you're an ordinary person, so you simply divide the people around you into two categories: good people and bad people.
Carman and Luo Puppy are the good people you think are.
It's also what you think of as your friend.
And Shiloh, if he kills your friend, then you decide he's the bad guy.
In any case, your sense of morality and emotion.
You can't tolerate your own obedience to Shiloh and obedience to Shiloh.
So, others.
I, even the Messianic Duke, may be reconciled with Shiloh at a certain time in the future, under certain conditions, but only you can't because you are a small person in your bones, you are an ordinary person, you can't have a kind of attitude of looking down on grievances, you can't be like a real political figure, willing to reconcile with your enemies, you will think that if you have revenge, you will be sorry for your own morality, sorry for your dead friends, and sorry for your conscience. ” Hearing this, Chen Daolin couldn't help but even break out in a cold sweat He even had to admit that so far, among all the people he knew in the Roland world, the old man of the Liszt family in front of him was the one who saw himself most accurately and thoroughly He almost saw through his own character Even in the face of a person as smart as Du Weiwei and a strong person as Lu Gao, Chen Daolin has never felt completely seen through The old man in front of him, the patriarch of the Liszt family, may not be the smartest among the people he knows.
However, his experience, his age, the wisdom he has accumulated all his life, and the eye for seeing people, he has really figured himself out "If you're really just an ordinary person, it's fine."
Patriarch Liszt shook his head and sighed slowly: "A real little person, an ordinary person, dares to be an enemy of the emperor of a country, then it is just a dead end, and he will be easily pinched to death."
But you are a strange person, an outlier, you have the temperament of a small person, and you hold the principles of ordinary people, but you have an ability far beyond ordinary people.
Shiloh can't pinch you to death at once, and he can't subdue a guy who is obviously just a little person's mentality, but he has the ability to influence the overall situation, which is the biggest trouble. ” Is it troublesome?
Chen Daolin secretly sneered in his heart.
It turns out that I am just a "troublesome" existence for these top bosses of Roland He squinted his eyes and looked at Patriarch Liszt with a smile: "Old man, after saying so much, you have spent a lot of energy studying me as a person, but this question, what does it have to do with whether I marry your daughter or not?"
"Of course it has a relationship, and it has a big relationship" The old man suddenly jumped to his feet and said, "It is absolutely impossible for you to reconcile with Hiloh for a long time in the future, and in my opinion, there will never be any problems with Hilo's throne for a long time in the future.
So in other words, you are destined to be the enemy of this supreme of a country to do such a dangerous thing, and you will fight slowly by yourself, and you will fight until what year and month you can't tell which day, and you will be destroyed by Shiloh. ” "Then you still let me marry your daughter" Chen Daolin put his hands behind his back and said lightly: "You should let Luo Daer leave me quickly, and the farther away from me, the better." ” "I do."
Old man Liszt muttered hatefully, and then he sighed: "My daughter has grown up, and I am old, I can't find someone to tie her up and go home like she did when she was a child."
Even if I do, she'll find a chance to run out to you in a few days.
I can't defend my daughter day and night like a thief.
Besides, maybe I don't have a few years to live, and when the time comes, as soon as I close my eyes, she will immediately throw the whole family into your arms, and even if I am buried in the earth, I will die without a blind eye. ” Speaking of this, Patriarch Liszt let out a long breath before looking at Chen Daolin.
This time.
The old man's tone became serious: "Don't think that I came to see you this time, just to force marriage.
If you really want to fight Shiloh to the end, then you need the power of my Liszt family.
My Liszt family's business is all over the country, and even in the current situation, Shiloh does not dare to openly attack my family.
Although I was forced to flee the imperial capital and break away from Shiloh's control, he did not dare to directly declare my Liszt family a rebel.
Although in the imperial capital, some of my family's business was suppressed by Xiluo, but in all parts of the country, he did not dare to touch my family's business because of this touch.
It will break the rules and the rules of the game.
So if you want to do big things, then marrying my daughter and cooperating with my Liszt family thoroughly is the most effortless shortcut. ” "Is it a political marriage?"
Chen Daolin smiled bitterly.
"Otherwise, what do you think is the love story that those ladies read in the boudoir, talented and beautiful, love at first sight, love to death, and finally a lover will eventually become a family hum those are childish things" Chen Daolin hesitated.
After considering his words, he said cautiously: "Mr.
Patriarch, Miss Rodelle's character and talent are of course excellent. can get her favor.
It's also a great pleasure for me."
The old man's face changed, and he rolled his eyes: "You just say but" Chen Daolin smiled bitterly: "But this matter between men and women must have an emotional foundation."
"Affection, you ghost" The old man was suddenly furious He jumped up violently and slapped Chen Daolin's head hard with Chen Daolin's ability.
It's easy to avoid his slap, but looking at the little old man in front of him is thunderous.
Chen Daolin finally didn't have the embarrassment to dodge, and let the other party slap him on the head.
"Feelings, when you talk about marriage, you have to talk about feelings, you are the idea of a little person who can't be changed even if you die," Patriarch Liszt pointed at Chen Daolin, his face was full of anger, and he shouted: "Do you know that your status is not ordinary now, you have a territory of your own, there are tens of thousands of people, your magic strength is genius, looking at the entire empire, you are already quite famous, people like you, when talking about marriage, you still regard feelings as the first condition, and you are a fool."

"If you don't talk about feelings when you get married, what do you talk about?"
Chen Daolin frowned.
"Of course, you can talk about money, you can talk about interests, you can talk about power, you can talk about how much benefits this marriage can bring you, these are the first things, of course, if the first condition is met, the object of marriage, if the appearance and temperament also meet your appetite, it is naturally good.
But feelings alone should never be regarded as the primary condition by people like you."
The old man's eyes showed deep disappointment.
He looked at Chen Daolin, shook his head and said, "That's it, that's it." ” He exhaled and said with a wry smile: "Darling Chen, let me tell you, I came to see you halfway this time and asked you if you would marry my daughter, just to see what kind of character you are now."
Of course, I know that you don't have that kind of affection for my daughter, but if you just agreed to me and promised to marry Lordelle, I will feel that you have finally changed the naïve and naïve ideas of those little people, and you are really worthy of making you If you can change those stubborn and naïve views before, I think that with your current foundation, if you add the help of my Liszt family, even if you can't defeat Shiloh in the future, you will at least have the power to protect yourself.
Only when you have the mind of a true superior can you break out of the world and occupy a place in this empire But now, at this moment, you still say such childish things, then I can see it.
With your temperament, how can I rest assured that I will hand over my daughter and the Liszt family to you?"
Chen Daolin was also a little annoyed: "Do you think that I will go up when I see the benefits, and if I can marry your daughter, I will get the benefits, so I don't care if I rush up and marry her, can you rest assured that you are a father?"
"If I am the father of an ordinary person, then I will naturally oppose this, but I am the patriarch of the Liszt family, so if you can do what you say, I will cheer loudly and be happy for you" When the old man said this, he waved his hand: "Okay, that's all for today, I already understand your current thoughts."
In that case, " He hesitated for a moment and stared at Chen Daolin twice: "I'll give you one last chance for a month."
He raised a finger: "A month, you go back and think about it slowly, if you figure it out and can change your mind, within a month, I can still marry my daughter to you, but if it takes a month, you still can't figure it out, and you can't change this damn mentality, then you are destined to rot wood and can't carve me, even if I fight to make my daughter hate, I will take Luo Dale home, even if I lock her up for three or five years, I will never let her run to you again."
With your mentality, the mentality of a small person, if you want to be the enemy of the king of a country, you will definitely lose in the future, and I don't want to accompany my daughter and family to your funeral. ” After saying that, the old man had already turned around and left, returned to the carriage, slapped the carriage fiercely, and shouted: "Let's go, go and stay here for a while, the more angry I will be" Watching the patriarch of the Liszt family leave in a bad mood, the carriage gradually ran away, and Chen Daolin let out a long sigh.
"It turns out that I haven't changed all along, and I'm still the same silk mentality."
Chen Daolin smiled bitterly and said to himself.
But even Chen Daolin himself had to admit that this old man of the Liszt family really saw himself through The real big people only talk about the pros and cons, and only the little people will naively distinguish between right and wrong, black and white.
From beginning to end, I still have the mentality of silk that I have cultivated in the real world.
Reconciling with Shiloh is out of the question.
The moment Kaman and Luo Xiaogou died in the palace hall, it was destined that Chen Daolin would never have the slightest possibility of cooperating with Xiluo again.
Chen Daolin asked himself if he was righteous, and stuck a knife in his friend's ribs.
But at least, the person who killed his friend, Chen Daolin will never have anything to do with the other party anymore.
He also admitted that there was still a lot of value in the words of old man Liszt.
Partially "Even if I know that this will be beneficial, but I just don't like it."
Chen Daolin clenched his fists and swung them vigorously at the sky.
"If I did that, would I still be me?"
What Darlinggo didn't know at this moment was that one hundred and forty years ago in this world, there was also a talented, unruly young man who competed for the world, and said something similar.
If I did that, would I still be me?
There will be an update later To be continued. “”:
