I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 153 The thieves are in civil strife, and Jiao Ye's methods are manipulated.

Liu Long left Chaoge City in the early morning of the second day.

Before leaving, he also participated in a "carnival" celebration in Chaoge City.

Xiang Chong took out a large amount of food and gave it to Yu Xu, the Chaoge Commander, and at the same time thanked Yu Xu for personally writing the letter of merit to Ma Leng, the prefect of Hanoi County.

Of course, the most important thing is that after this incident, the reputation of both Xiang Chong and the Xiang family has greatly improved.

With such great benefits, Xiang Chong felt that he should show one or two things.

And Yu Xu didn't say anything, he gathered all the food and grass that Xiang's family had brought out, and then took out a part of it and distributed it to the people so that they could have a normal meal.

At the same time, some available people were formally recruited among the common people.

Acting as the yamen servant in the county government and the lowest-level local official, help him deal with the following matters.

After all this was done, the entire Chaoge City was immersed in a celebration, although there were no gatherings, no wine and meat, no singing and dancing, etc.

But the faces of the common people were filled with genuine ease and joy.

This is something they haven't felt for a long time.

But Liu Long was in such an environment, but he didn't have any joy.

Until he took Yu Xu's warrant and opened the city gate that was still closed due to the curfew, his expression was so heavy.

Zheng Zhong and the others who followed him and were in charge of protecting him all had calm faces, not as heavy as Liu Long, but they didn't say anything to persuade them either.

They all know why Liu Long is like this, but they don't intend to get involved
At this time, Liu Long recalled the last thing he learned from Yu Xu last night in his mind.

"You never trusted that old guy, why would he do his best for you?"

"I don't trust him because he is not worthy of my trust, but I use him because I am sure to use him, and he will not betray me."

".don't know!"

"Jiao Ye is not alone!" Yu Xu looked at Liu Long who was still incomprehensible, and finally said something that Liu Long would definitely remember for the rest of his life.

He pointed to Jiao Ye in the distance, and asked a truth that Liu Long didn't understand at the beginning.

"Jiao Ye is already such an old age, he would rather dance on the tip of a knife, bear the burden of humiliation and endure such humiliation to deal with those thieves and survive, what is he trying to do?
How long can he live?No matter how much you persevere, it will only last three to five years.

In this troubled world, is there any point for him to live for three to five years? Is there something that makes him have to survive for three to five years?

Your Majesty needs to know why he is alive! "

Indeed, when Liu Long heard these words for the first time, he froze in place.

If Yu Xu didn't take the initiative to say these words, he really never thought about why.

For an old man of this age, it is not easy for him to live, why should he persist in living.

It may not be so appropriate to just use the phrase that an ant is still alive.

Although Liu Long doesn't have much experience in this area, he can also see that Jiao Ye can't be explained so simply.
"So, what does Yu Chaoge think Jiao Ye is for?"

"For what. For the people or things he cares about!"

Yu Xu directly twitched the corner of her mouth, and then looked again at the place where Jiao Ye was. The words she said again made Liu Long feel chills for a while.

"Your Majesty, you need to know that the people who fear death the most in this world will never be those desperadoes.

Those desperadoes may be wasting their lives, but most of them are other people's lives, not their own.

On the contrary, sometimes the most important thing for this kind of people is their own life.

There is only one kind of person who can truly disregard their lives, and that is the person who has nothing.

There are always some people in this world, what they see is not the beauty and nostalgia in the world, but what they see is their own nothing and the hardships of life.

They survived, and every day they survived was a pain for them.

Even, they have no family members, no wives and children, no old friends and relatives, and there are no people or things they care about in this world.

For them, death is nothing terrible except for some pain.

They never mind whether they will die, if possible, they even want to let the whole world die with them.

They even clamored that the Great Harmony of the World is when everyone loses their lives!

No fear, no awe, or even indifference!
This kind of people are the real headaches, they are too cold and ruthless!

The reason is that they don't even have any hope or idea about their future life!
To be alive is to be alive.

Therefore, if that day really comes, they may have a little fear, but after the fear, they will also feel a sense of relief! "

"." Liu Long understood, because he thought of something, but he couldn't say it out.

But Yu Xu's words were far from over.

"On the contrary, those who really want to live in this world are the ones who really have something.

For example, Jiao Ye, why does he want to live, because he has!
Although he is old, his wife is still there. The two of them have gone through three generations, and they have lived for so many years to support each other with a lot of affection.

He also has two sons who are very filial to him, and his son and daughter-in-law treat them well and never disobey him.

And they have extended generations for him. Although they are young and even a little naughty, they are quite pleasing grandchildren.

These families are what he likes in his heart.

At the same time, before he was in disaster, he still had a little wealth, which was not much but enough for a family to live on.

Even now the family wealth has been robbed, and even the daughter-in-law was almost robbed.

But he managed to keep his family, and he still had a few hectares of fields outside the city that were not fertile but by no means bad.

With these, his descendants can still start all over again.

It is precisely because he has his family as his concern, and his family business as his confidence, whether it is accumulated through hard work or bought in some way.

This is their hope and hope for the future.

With these, he really doesn't want to die, he still wants to live for two more years, to help his children and grandchildren to do something, and to watch their children and grandchildren perform filial piety at his knees.

Looking at myself, I can help my family get through this difficult time! "

"And this is his weakness, and it is also the reason why I can guarantee that Jiao Ye will not betray!"
