Chapter 486

It's not that Dewey didn't let innocent people die... Even he did it himself.

But at this moment, looking at the innocent tailor, looking at the man with tears in his eyes, that kind of helpless cry, the sadness of not being able to control his own fate... Suddenly, Dewey felt that he could not say a word.

What can I say?

Did I tell him that he was sacrificing himself for the sake of the whole? In order not to let the royal family and the church have a chance to turn over, and in order not to let the evil religious forces continue to expand, if the church overwhelms the majesty of the emperor, then the church will further make the central government unable to hold up its head in the future? Or do I tell him that death alone can avoid more blood and friction?

Yes, that's the truth. Even for a period of time, Dewey has even been used to standing on the "high position" and looking down at the people below, and then using these "big principles" to judge and measure, and then making some decisions that he thinks are very noble: deciding who to sacrifice and who to keep.

Yes, sometimes, Dewey struggled, hesitated and contradicted. But afterwards he gradually numb, he convinced himself in the heart: These are right! I'm looking at the big picture.

But

Now looking at glum and the tears of the innocent tailor, he suddenly feels that the so-called "taking the overall situation into consideration" is really hard to say.

Glum's words are actually very simple and straightforward, without any depth to speak of. But it is this depth that makes Dewey unable to answer or even say a word:

"I don't understand. I'm a good man. I didn't miss anything, I devoted myself to my work, I love my family... But why, I want to die for no reason? Yes, I am a small person, is a small mole ant, but, my life. But can be deprived at will? "

Just because I'm a nobody and a mole ant, I'm going to be sacrificed?

Can my life be taken away at will?

Why?

Who gave you the right to "sacrifice who" and "not sacrifice who"?

Who gave you this power?

When this thought flashed through duvet's mind, all of a sudden, he was in a cold sweat!!

Looking at the tailor's tears in front of him, the helpless despair and anger

Dewey couldn't help asking himself: what am I to judge and decide a person's fate at will?

This is me. What's the difference between such Prince Chen, such us... And that bitch of the goddess of light?

Yes, we look down on all living beings and decide the fate of these ants with our "grand principle".

But what are we? Is it God?? Do we really have the right to deprive anyone of their lives?

pay attention to the interests of the whole? So sacrifice? But the people who were sacrificed. What about his will? Can we ignore it?

What about the so-called "little people" like glum? From his standpoint, he just wants to live his own life safely and save his humble life... What's wrong with him?

All along, even Dewey himself has clearly felt: his heart. It's getting cold, it's getting hard, it's getting cold-blooded, it's getting cruel.

However, all the time, Dewey himself felt that there was nothing wrong with this. This is the world. If you don't eat people, you wait to be eaten. A lot of things. If you are soft hearted, then waiting for you is a more miserable ending.

Therefore, when he sent the beautiful woman to the grassland, the bright eyes did not soften Du Wei's heart. Although he also struggled after the event, he still strongly encouraged himself: This is a last resort, this is right!

Maybe. today. Met a more mediocre and innocent man like glum. Just suddenly let Du Wei that already cold heart, suddenly restored so a glimmer of warmth.

Yes... The girl at the beginning, she went without hesitation, she didn't refuse, but with the mentality of sacrifice... So, Dewey didn't seem to think so deeply.

But what about glum? He was forced! He was forced to go. He didn't want to die, but he had to.

This time, though the decision maker is not Dewey, he is a loyal executor.

"It seems that my heart is not hard enough." After comforting the poor tailor, Dewey walked out of the hall. One day's hard work was not in vain. At least Dewey was full of confidence in the banquet the day after tomorrow.

But being blown on his face by the night wind, he didn't feel relaxed at all.

Yes, my heart is soft

Even Dewey couldn't tell what he was thinking at the moment. Maybe, it's just a moment of pity.

He looked up at the sky, quickened his pace, and decided to go back to the room to change his clothes. Then he would go back to the Duke's mansion tonight, because he had already sent elder Yan, the bodyguard, to invite Mr. LAN Haiyue.

But when Dewey returned to his temporary residence in the palace, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he suddenly slowed down!

There was a trace of jingmang in his squinting eyes. He subconsciously looked at the two court waiters in the yard. The two young waiters were sweeping the snow in the yard with brooms. From a distance, he saw Duwei come in and quickly bow. Their faces were as usual, and there was no change.

And Dewey, with his eyes fixed on his bedroom.

Looking back, the palace guards outside the courtyard are also very calm

Dewey, with an imperceptible smile on his face, walked slowly over and waved to the two waiters: "go out, everyone. Don't let anyone into the yard without my order."

With that, he strode to the door of his room, pushed the door and went in.

In the dark room. Dewey strode to the wall and lit the fireplace. Under the blazing fire, he turned around and said with a long smile, "I wanted to meet you, but you came first."

When he turns around, on a soft bench behind him, LAN Haiyue looks at Du Wei with a smile. The old man was wrapped in a blanket and huddled in a soft chair.

Dewey lit the fireplace. The old man stretched his neck to the warm fire, sighed, and said slowly, "it's better to light the fire. Alas, when you are old, you just can't keep fit. "

"I didn't expect you to come to see me first." Dewey turned his head and thought, "didn't I ask you to wait for me in my Duke's mansion?"

Blue ocean Yue blinked: "but, your highness. Didn't you write "urgent" on the palm of the bearer's hand? Since it's a very urgent matter, I'll come first if I'm free. And you are the most important Minister of our country. "

Dewey snorted and snapped. He unscrewed a wine bottle and motioned to LAN Haiyue. The old man shook his head: "I'm old. Wine is not suitable for me."

Dewey looked up and took a big gulp of it, which finally relieved him. He looked at the old man and said, "when you came in, no one noticed?"

Blue sea Yue smile: "I'm afraid there is no strong one in the palace who can detect my whereabouts."

Dewey nodded. "That's true."

With LAN Haiyue's skill, he is one of the three disciples of Daxueshan. He is better than him in the world. He can count it with a few fingers. The whole imperial capital, maybe someone in the temple can make LAN Haiyue afraid, but there is not even a holy step in the palace now.

"I have a long, long story to tell you. Sir Dewey put down the bottle and said with a wry smile, "now I need some wise advice, or... Guidance. I can't think of anyone who has the wisdom as deep as the sea as you

Blue sea Yue smile is very peaceful, that pair of eyes and his old age does not match, bright as stars.

Du Wei was not polite to the university man, and he didn't even mean to be on guard. He began to tell the story directly.

He began to tell about the northern criminals, and then talked about the fall of the Dragon Mountain. A large number of criminals will invade in the near future

When he finished this paragraph. He noticed LAN Haiyue's expression, but the old man's face was calm. As if there was no accident.

"You... Know?" Dewey frowned.

"Should I be surprised?" LAN Haiyue's voice was calm: "I know some ancient legends. There are some ancient records on Daxueshan. Moreover, in recent years, the Empire has suddenly changed its procrastination. It first exterminated the northwest army by means of thunder, stabilized the interior, expended a large amount of military expenditure to expand the army, and accumulated such a "Kaspersky defense line" in the North regardless of the cost. By the way, this name is your origin. It's really ugly. Well, in any case, smart people can see who you are going to deal with when you put so much effort in the north. Think of those legends again... It's not hard to guess the answer. And don't forget, Philip is my student

Dewey shrugged. "I knew that."

"I only have three years." "Of course, more than half of the three years have passed now," said Dewey with a bitter smile. I have to be ready at the latest. The more prepared, the better! I must pull out all the possible unstable factors in the shortest time! Therefore, I have to adopt some unconventional methods in my way of doing things.... "

"You mean some mean, dirty, cruel means?" LAN Haiyue asked indifferently.

"..." Du Wei was stunned for a moment and nodded: "but that's what I said."

Then, Du Weifei quickly told LAN Haiyue about the sudden death of the old emperor and the problems he was facing.

When he said that now Prince Chen and himself conspired to prepare a stand in for the banquet the day after tomorrow, he also mentioned the poor tailor named grum and his own intolerance.

"When he said 'unfair', I really felt a little strange." Du Wei sighed: "I suddenly have some can't understand what I'm doing. Even... I have some doubts. Well, can you see what I mean? "

"I understand a little bit." LAN Haiyue's tone suddenly contained a certain mocking taste: "sudden Conscience Discovery, is that right?" " I think so. " Dewey heard the taunt, but he didn't care. He looked at the wise old man in front of him with expectation in his eyes. After a long time, LAN Haiyue moved his body and drew closer to the fire. Then he looked at the fire in the fireplace with his eyes, but sighed and said in a disdainful tone: "it's a pity, it's a pity... Duwei, I thought you had become a real leader now. For a time, I was gratified and appreciated by your progress. But... Hum, from what you said today, you are far from it!! Compared with Prince Chen, you are just a child without hair. I really want to advise you that if you are really like this, you might as well take advantage of the fact that you are still in favor, resign your northwest Lord status to Prince Chen, hand over military power, and then move your family to a small city in the south to live a mediocre life as a farmer. Because... You don't deserve it! " Du Wei was stunned by the harsh words. He stares at LAN Haiyue and asks in surprise, "did I hear you right? Mr. LAN Haiyue, I asked you for some guidance, but you scolded me? I don't deserve it? "
