Chapter 2420 Do more things

When dealing with smart people, talking and communicating will not be tiring.

Jiang Shunxiao knew that he came to visit late at night and traveled lightly. No matter what the purpose was, at least his approach was friendly. He could find her and come to the door like this without causing any objection.

Qingshi: "The last time I saw the general, I felt that the general was different. After so many days, I feel very emotional when I see the general again."

Jiang Shunxiao took a sip of tea, looked up at him, and said in an unclear tone: "The last time we missed a move, we missed the mark. If this is different, it would be too embarrassing."

Qingshi chuckled lightly and said frankly: "How can people walking on the bright road always be wary of rats in the gutter? Everyone knows the general's ability. The last time there was someone who was sincere and determined. To harm you, there were many restrictions at that time, and it was already very difficult for the general to escape."

The emperor's order sent him to investigate all the way. When he found the Nanman, Jiang Shunxiao did not dare to act rashly. The Nanman's presence in Meng has been very weak in recent years. If it hadn't been for this time, he had done something he shouldn't have done. , offended the royal family, and didn't take them seriously at all.

When the situation was urgent, things were done in a hurry, and there was no foolproof plan, that's why we fell into the trap of others.

It is not easy to escape unscathed on other people's territory. That's why Qingshi said that he was already capable of leaving Nanman.

Jiang Shunxiao thought for a moment and said: "Unknowingly, the Nanman people have developed to this point here, and they are really capable and have means."

After hearing this, Qingshi lowered his head, exhaled deeply, and then said: "Compared with the Huaiyin and Huaiyang areas in the middle of the capital, Nanman is just a small place. It has to rely on the blessing of the imperial court to survive here. The land survives.”

Jiang Shunxiao put down the cup, his eyes darkened, and said, "I'm afraid not everyone thinks so. The court can be a protective umbrella, but not everyone needs this umbrella. Some people even hesitate to tear it to pieces with their own hands."

Qingshi answered quickly: "That's because some people are blind because of tinnitus, and some people pretend to be deaf and mute and can't see the situation outside, so they stick to their own laurels and think that the world can be supported by themselves."

When he said this, Jiang Shunxiao looked at him deeply and chuckled: "When these words come from the mouth of the Nanman elder, there is an indescribable weird feeling. Does the elder really think so?"

Qingshi's eyes were clear and his expression was heavy: "If I didn't think so, why would I come all the way here?"

Jiang Shunxiao rubbed his fingers for a while, looked at the teacup in front of him, raised it and said, "It's not appropriate to drink tonight, otherwise, going against what the elder just said, I also want to have a drink with the elder."

Seeing that his words softened, Qingshi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. A smile appeared on his face, and he raised his tea cup to touch him, and then said, "It would be great if the general understands what I mean."

After drinking tea, Jiang Shunxiao said: "As far as I know, the elder is lower than one person in the Southern Barbarians, and above ten thousand people. It took a lot of effort to sit in this position and have the authority he has now, and it took a lot of effort in the Southern Barbarians. Why is it necessary?”

Qingshi was silent for a while and then said: "The Southern Barbarians are located in the desert and have been misunderstood by the world for many years. The people of the Southern Barbarians only dare to huddle in this small area. Even if they have ambitions and talents in their hearts, they dare not go out to show their strength. This is what I The pain in my heart is also a lifelong regret. I just want to watch the Nanman leave this place in my lifetime, and I also want to eliminate the world's misunderstanding of the Nanman. There were many mistakes and misunderstandings about what happened back then. Even if they are misunderstandings, they should be explained. Be clear, instead of allowing misunderstandings to continue, all grievances will not be redressed, and all the truth will not be exposed to the world..." Nothing can be black and white. In the place where black and white meet, the blurred Color is all misunderstandings that cannot be explained clearly.

Once you have figured out many things, you will not fight against yourself.

Back then, the Southern Barbarians held their breath and fled in embarrassment. They were burdened with the most indifferent rejection and the most unfair misunderstanding in the world. They thought that Meng State had given up on them, and they therefore alienated the entire Meng State, as if they could only become independent. , who has become strong by his own strength, can no longer be underestimated, can no longer be ignored, and can only feel proud when people can't say a word "no".

Just to fight for this breath, Nanman has forced himself into dire straits for more than ten years. Originally, he worked day by day so that he could see the light again the next day, but later he discovered that working day after day was just that. They have trapped themselves here for the rest of their lives, making their steps tighter and tighter, and the places they can go narrower. Any reappearance of light is an illusion. Only one day is better than one day of suffering, eroding their faith. .

Those people, from a group of high-spirited fighters to rebuild their homes, have become puppets on strings that are now struggling to survive.

In the minds of most people, they have become Zhu Bajie in the storybook. When they look in the mirror, they are no longer human inside and out.

They are clearly subjects of the Meng Kingdom, but due to the changes in their thinking over the past ten years, under the shadow of the small dynasty, they have become lonely souls wandering between the two sides. They cannot return to being subjects of the Meng Kingdom, and they are increasingly unwilling to do so. Become a slave to a small dynasty.

Jiang Shunxiao has been to Nanman, and everything there has not progressed. Whether it is people or things, they are still stagnant more than ten years ago.

You can imagine what kind of life the people living here live. They are pitiful. They have been manipulated their entire lives and persecuted for generations.

"There are too few people who can be sober. Some people are willing to be deceived. When they are close to the truth, they would rather deceive themselves than dare to open their eyes and take a look. For more than ten years...this number has trapped them. It’s a lifetime of generations.”

Jiang Shunxiao's words really touched my ears and aroused the resonance of Qingshi. He sighed and shook his head and said: "If you sleep for too long, it's not that you don't want to wake up, but that you don't dare to wake up. Most people don't dare to look back. They I just have to hold my neck and walk forward, as if the day I force myself to death is the day I will be free."

"..."

"These years, these things have made me see clearly what kind of place I live in. I really don't want to live my life in such a muddle. My life is over, and their lives have just begun. If I don't stand up and do something today, Things, I'm afraid Nanman will really sleep for many years." When he said this, his eyes looked at Suan Tou, the new generation of people.

One generation grows old and one generation grows up.When he can, he is willing to do more things.
