Legend of the Demon Emperor of Kyushu

Chapter 91 The Night before the Storm (2)

Lin Hongyu was slightly taken aback: "About—not as much as ten years ago?"

"Yeah. Death is not the end. The sound made with life will always leave an echo."

Lin Hongyu was thoughtful: "Knowing that they will die, there are people who join us one after another. Is this all because of the good reputation we left behind?"

Cheng Ba also said: "That is, who in the Jianghu disrespects us chivalrously and calls us a good man."

"It's not just 'good'. Today, there are 3000 official disciples of my way. Although more martial arts people did not join because they couldn't stand our strict and self-sufficient rules, they also maintain admiration and kindness for us. Therefore, when people in my Taoism do things in the rivers and lakes, they always feel like a fish in water, and there are people to help everywhere."

Le Zhong's tone was dignified: "This is the reputation that generations of righteous men have exchanged blood for, and this is the foundation of my way of life!"

"The younger generation is taught."

"However, in the past few years, our reputation has not been as good as it used to be, whether among the people or in the world."

"This... this junior does feel it." Lin Hongyu said in a low voice.

"It's those bad-hearted people who don't like us!" Cheng Ba shouted.

Le Zhongdao: "In all the families, we are the only ones who have a force that is not weaker than the army. It is common for the princes of the states to look down on us and chase us down. But in the past few years, the princes have begun to learn to hit us with reputation. up.

Public notices are issued everywhere, saying that we use military force to violate the ban, kill officials ordered by the court without permission, disturb public order, disregard human lives, and even confuse officials to get involved, so that they value the order of the hero more than the order of the king, so as to disrupt the king's law.He also encouraged a hundred schools of thought to write books to refute my Taoism as apocryphal scriptures in troubled times, these..."

"It's slander!" Lin Hongyu immediately answered.

"...some of it is true."

"Cough, cough..."

"It's not new for us to use violence to control violence when we see injustice. At first, the common people were unwilling to believe these exaggerated words to smear us, but when they said too much, they became suspicious. The martial arts people also waited for us to fight with each other. Hundreds of schools of thought talk about it, but if one of them dies, we can only let them wait in frustration.

Elder Deng Er held his "Xiabian" every day to study, saying that relying on his "words have three expressions", he would definitely be able to refute hundreds of schools, so Xia Kui put him in confinement, lest he couldn't help running away one day. Go to the academy to die. "

Lin Hongyu said with embarrassment: "Elder Deng is angry, and he really can't persuade him."

"Actually, the main reason why we don't let him mess around is because Xiakui and I feel that even if he wins the debate, it's useless. Who else would really study it carefully except scholars?
If you want to regain people's hearts, you don't have to collect evidence, put everything we have done in front of everyone, and then sort out the reasons one by one. This is impossible.

On the contrary, we don't need to give any evidence, we don't need to discuss any reasoning, as long as people are willing to believe us.

It is easier to win people's hearts by stating a clear position than explaining the truth. "

Cheng Ba was shocked and said, "There is no proof, how can we make others believe us?"

"Cheng Ba, tell me, who is the favorite of ordinary people?"

Cheng Ba saw Le Zhong's profound expression at this time, and immediately became nervous: "Elder, I returned the "Nanhuai Qunfangpu" with paintings to Hong Yu last year, and he never lent it to me again. The content inside has long been…”

"Cough, cough!" Lin Hongyu coughed again.

Cheng Ba turned his head again: "Did you have a bad voice today?"

Lin Hongyu lowered his head with a depressed face, and after a while, he raised his head and said, "Elder, the most favorite people of the common people are the two generals Zhenhai and Fumo, and General Lian?"

Le Zhong nodded: "Yes. Men of letters have always liked to sing about generals who fought against foreign enemies, and the common people also like to hear their stories the most.

'Northern Iron Wall' Lian Hongye - this is the man who defeated the horse king of Qianzhou!

When the old man was young, the word "Ma Wang" was a knife hanging in the hearts of every Song Dynasty citizen. The undisputed strongest warrior in Kyushu was the most powerful enemy of our Song Dynasty.But in the past 15 years, "Ma Wang" has become a topic of jokes among ordinary people after dinner, all because Lian Hongye defeated him! "

Lin Hongyu seemed to realize something: "So we came all the way from Yongzhou to Juguo for the good reputation of General Lian?"

Le Zhong's expression became serious at this time: "General Lian wants us to go to the Central Plains countries to convey the truth about the barbarian invasion of the border, and when we do this, we are conveying another message: Chivalry is doing things for General Lian! In this way, we The reputation of chivalry is tied to General Lian.

In this way, the remarks that have criticized our reputation over the years will be self-defeating.After all, the princes themselves have no credibility, and people don't care what others say when they see what we do.This is the foundation of my life that truly consolidates my chivalry! "

"This—is it still so useful? We didn't just come to help?" Cheng Ba stared.

Lin Hongyu pondered and said, "Perhaps, people will suspect that General Lian was bewitched by us, or pressured by the barbarians, so he asked us to cooperate?"

Le Zhong shook his head: "Doesn't this mean that General Lian doesn't know people well? The common people and the Jianghu people don't think so. The common people will only divide people into good and evil, black and white. What a good person does is not good. There will be mistakes. If we work with General Lian, we must be good people, and ordinary people will only think so."

"The younger generation is taught."

Le Zhong continued: "Nowadays, it is indeed unexpected that we encounter the barbarian army. But in my opinion, this may not be a bad thing.

Regardless of winning or losing, the deeds of the bloody battle between chivalry and the entire barbarian tribe will be reported back to the Central Plains. What is more glorious than fighting for the righteousness of the country?

Even if we really all die here, there will be more passionate people in the future who will join me in my chivalrous way.This is enough.

It has always been that heroes have descendants, why should the martyrs be my body?
Think about what to say in the storytelling shed next month? "Nine hundred heroes went to the border together, and General Lian was delighted to help defeat the barbarian thieves"?Ha, it's fun to say it, anyway, the battlefield will be the destination of my generation sooner or later. At least I hope that the commander who will swing the sword for the last time will be a famous general like General Lian. "

"The elder said it well!" Cheng Ba heard his blood rushing, and said immediately: "If it is for this, I will die in battle. I was wrong just now, my vision is too short, thanks to the elder's advice!"

Lin Hongyu also respectfully said: "Elder, this junior understands. To protect the country and the Dao, this junior will not hesitate to die."

Le Zhong nodded gratifiedly: "I'll talk about the death later. You two didn't concentrate on your homework, so you read quite a lot. Qunfangpu? What books do you usually read? Tell me about them."

Lin Hongyu: "..."

After a fat beating.

"Elder, there is still one thing I don't know about this junior."

"What's the matter?"

Lin Hongyu asked: "General Lian wants to establish a long-term and in-depth cooperation with us, not just to help him pass the message once this year, and even agrees that we will send each other people to the top... Does General Lian have other ambitions?"

"Yes."

"But General Lian has such a temperament, and he has no children."

"He has no children, but he has apprentices."

"It's Frost—"

"Hush." ​​Le Zhong silenced Lin Hongyu, and then looked towards the entrance of the stone room.

A mighty figure walked in together with a young general.

"Elder, how is your rest?"

"If the general needs it, the old man can go out with the general now." Le Zhong laughed.
