"Come back to the palace with me, you are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and you will be the emperor of the empire, you are still young, and you still have a lot of time to change the system you hate."
"As a tourist who looks at the suffering coldly, or as an emperor with supreme power, it is more difficult to change the injustice in your eyes" "If you insist on hiding among the stars and landscapes, boasting, and vulgarly retreating when faced with opportunities and refusing to make a little sacrifice and effort, it can only mean that you do not really sympathize with the miserable life of the common people at all, but only use this to satisfy your own sense of moral superiority, so that you can ridicule and ridicule others."
Huai Caoshi looked at him expressionlessly, her words were extremely sharp and powerful, and in the past two years, she had thought too much about it in order to convince this guy in front of her.
But obviously, Xu Le also thought about this question for a long time, and he replied directly without any pause: "Any great reform or revolution requires the decision of the supreme power at a critical moment, and this decision may be the destruction of an entire class, the trade-off between millions and tens of billions of lives. ” He looked at Huai Caoshi and said sincerely to himself: "You know that my surname is flawed, it is difficult for me to make a similar choice, I am only good at destruction, not good at construction, and I can't even be qualified as a battlefield commander, let alone such an important role" "If you lead the changes in the Left Heaven Star Domain, there is no other possibility than to plunge the empire into turmoil and kill more people."
Xu Le looked at her and continued: "People must be self-aware, I have some talent in mechanics, but I will always be so naïve and ridiculous in politics, past history has long proved this, in this regard, there are too many people on both sides of the universe who are smarter than me, it is impossible not to see it, in the era of the universe without the glory of the charter, the centralized empire wants to retain power forever, after all, it is just a luxury, so in fact you are already beginning to change." ” Huai Caoshi was silent, understanding that although he admitted that he was ridiculous in politics, his vision was not wrong.
"What even the Emperor and you can't do, I naturally can't do."
Xu Le said.
Huai Caoshi didn't care about what he called His Majesty, her eyebrows were slightly sharpened, and she stared into his eyes and asked, "The reform of the empire has just begun for more than ten years, and the future is unknown, how can you talk about failure." ” "Educational reforms, interracial experiments, wanting to mend tensions between classes and give full play to the abilities of the lower classes to inject fresh blood into a dead empire, that's what you're doing right now."
Xu Le looked at her and said, "As I said just now, I have been to many places and seen many people and things, I know what the real lower class of the empire is like, and I believe you know it too."
Last time you took me to Sangzhi Prefecture to see those national universities, they looked very good, but what about Sangkun Town, where we are now."
"Even if the untouchable children here are lucky not to be killed by the nobles, where do they dare to expect that the right to education is the same as the Lihan Star that you have classified as a pilot, then what is the situation of the entire empire, where can the emperor's will of education reform affect or can only change the streets and alleys around the palace?"
Conversation or debate, sometimes like a tug-of-war, because each other's feet stand on different positions, want to pull the other party to their side, resolutely do not allow themselves to be pulled to the other side, so when one party begins to exert force, the other convenience follows the force, and gradually rises in turn, until the power of verbal logic proof and the like has been exhausted, and can no longer increase, they begin to use gestures and expressions to assist, anger and harsh ridicule Many means take turns, like tug-of-war at both ends of the long rope bleeding hands, too much force to fight the red face, The fat buttocks sliding on the mud floor are not good-looking.
The dilapidated library is only seven or eight square meters in size, and the books on the three-story shelves are not ashed, but they are turned over a little wrinkled, and the two arguing people by the window find this kind of quarrel meaningless at the same time, and the silence returns to the sun-filled room.
After a long silence, Huai Caoshi tilted her chin slightly, looked at Xu Le and said, "You're looking, you're thinking, this shows that you haven't considered the possible surname of returning to the palace." ” "I'm a tourist, it's just that I've been traveling around the Zuotian Star Domain for two years, and I naturally feel emotional after seeing things, which doesn't mean anything."
Xu Le replied.
"Just tourists" A flash of light suddenly flashed in Huai Caoshi's slightly narrowed eyes, and she said in a low voice: "On the first day of July in the seventh hundred and twenty-sixth year of the imperial calendar, the official of the Cross Constellation Tourist Club died tragically in the apartment. ” "On November 15, 726, the bodies of two nobles were found in the tunnels of the Rimbaud Star Salt Mine, and the guns in their hands were cut by sharp weapons before they could fire a single bullet."
"After the New Year's service in 727, the bodies of seven priests were found in the basement of the blue cathedral of the hill top, and the prostitute child who was rumored to be imprisoned in the basement disappeared without a trace.
"April 727" Huai Caoshi looked at him quietly, her thin lips opened slightly, and she began to tell more than a dozen very shocking cases in the Zuotian Star Domain in the past two years, every time she told the time, place and person of a case, the strange emotions in her eyes became thicker, and Xu Le's eyes on the other side of the table narrowed even smaller.
"This year is the spring of the 728th year of the Bai Hibiscus Emperor's calendar, and a noble young master died tragically in his own manor, and even his was cut off."
Huai Caoshi stared at Xu Le's eyes and said: "It's a coincidence, the place where the murder occurred is the place you passed by when you traveled, according to the time, you happened to be nearby at that time, could it really be just a coincidence?"
Xu Le was silent for a long time, spread his hands and smiled, and replied, "Of course it's not a coincidence. ” Huai Caoshi looked at him and said, "Whether it is the Federation or the Empire, countless people are speculating about where you have gone, and most people think that you are living in seclusion in Bermuda, and there may be other speculations, but they always think that you should be in seclusion after you flee. ” "But you can kill wherever you go, what kind of escape and seclusion is this" "I'm still young, not old, what else can I do, then of course I won't take a dozen wives to find a poor country to be the emperor of the soil, satisfied with this so-called pleasure of retreat."
Xu Le looked at her and said, "As for killing wherever I go, it's not that I want to kill, but that there are too many people who should be killed along the way." ” "The aristocratic young master who killed the young girl, the bishop gentlemen who kept the seven or eight-year-old boy in the basement like a pig, the nobleman who murdered the untouchable miners to defraud the empire of compensation, they all deserve to die, so I let them die."
He squinted his eyes and looked out the window, pointed to the faint people outside the broken wall, and said, "On all the planets of the Empire, things like this happen every day, including here.
I'm sure if you saw those images with your own eyes, you would have made the same choice, except that you're a princess, and you rarely have access to these things. ” "What problem can you solve by killing such a few peopleTo solve the problem of the fundamental surname, you need to have the power to kill hundreds of times thousands of times.
If you still insist on not going back with me."
Huai Caoshi squinted at him, forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, coughed twice and said: "That can only prove that you are naïve, absurd, selfish and cold, and when you look up and see the starry sky, you revel in your sense of moral superiority, this way is too easy and easy to disgusting."
Xu Le looked down at the teacup, and suddenly said: "When I was in the Master's Mansion, I told you that I am a very selfish person, please forgive me for this." ” He raised his head, looked into Huai Caoshi's eyes, and said sincerely: "I am a poor fellow with no position now, I used to be confused and angry, and I didn't even have faith, until I found some in a department store, but that was really not enough. ” "People have to do something to live, even if they are tourists, they want to do something, kill those people, do those things, fight grievances, avenge innocents or something" He shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "It's my favorite amateur entertainment, it's a hobby, and it has nothing to do with morality." ” After a long time, Huai Caoshi's squinted eyes gradually relaxed, and said, "I accept your explanation. ” She stared into his eyes and continued: "But have you ever thought about how many people you will anger with such a reckless behavior, you are just a tourist and can leave away, and those weak people you want to protect will have to suffer the bloody revenge of the nobles afterwards. ” "Of course I've thought about these things."
Xu Le looked at her, scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "Those guys who are really crazy and cruel, I have killed them as much as possible, as for the aftermath, I know that the officials of the Intelligence Agency have been looking for me, since they are your subordinates and guessed that I did it, then they should help me deal with the follow-up matters." ” He hurriedly lifted the kettle from the stove, filled the teacup of Huai Caoshi, and said with a smile: "The Imperial Intelligence Agency, which is personally led by Her Royal Highness the Princess, certainly has this ability. ” "You're using me," Huai Caoshi stared at him.
"Count as a reminder" Huai Caoshi sighed, held the teacup and was silent for a moment, then suddenly shook her head and laughed without warning, but the laughter was replaced by a series of coughs in an instant.
Xu Le frowned and looked at her who was covering her lips and coughing, clearly hearing her pain, looking at her pale face, her cheeks that were obviously thinner than back then, and subconsciously raised her left hand, wanting to relieve the pain on her back, but her arm was extremely stiff and couldn't stretch it out.
He knew that although she had not been resident in Ink Flower Star for more than two years, she had focused all her energy on that planet full of death and killing, fighting against that ruthless and crazy Federation general, and even risking unimaginable dangers to assassinate the other party three times with the dignity of a princess.
Xu Le knew very well that even if she was as powerful as Huai Caoshi, it would be difficult to assassinate Du Shaoqing under the protection of the heavy army, and she was already very lucky that she was not buried in the federal military camp these three times, but she must have been seriously injured.
Looking at her coughing eyebrows frowning into a mess of ink, Xu Le's eyebrows also frowned into a mess of ink, took a deep breath, and asked, "This time the injury is very serious."
His palm landed on her back, and the true qi of Eight Rice passed over with the warmth of his palm.
