Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 1043 Heart Light
The resistance of the soldiers in Group B continued day by day.

They refused to accept all orders from Feng Qiwu, and no longer reported any military affairs to him. Although he was still the head coach in name, in fact, he had been emptied of all power.

Some of them, like Ye Shuo, really hated Feng Qiwu's behavior, while the other part didn't have any opinions, just out of herd mentality, thinking that if others isolate him, but I don't isolate him, Then I may be isolated by everyone like him.

In a group, an isolated behavior towards an individual is often like a contagious germ, which will gradually spread from a small group until it spreads to the whole.The same goes for blind conformity.

Among them, there seems to be only one outlier.

In the evening, there was a knock on the door of the city lord's room, and Jian Zhiheng came to Feng Qiwu for a daily report with a stack of war reports.

It was Feng Qiwu's order early in the morning to record the daily progress of the battle, the number of casualties, etc. in a book.And in this regard, he is as strict as ever.

If the record book is not transcribed according to his requirements, or if some important information is not detailed enough, he will also be punished.Therefore, although the matter of sorting out the report is a civilian job in the team, the pressure that the tester has to bear is no less than that of the military general.

Since the soldiers started to rebel, the work of the record book also stopped.Feng Qiwu didn't say a word, anyway, if he really wanted to know the information, he didn't have to rely on those people.

But today Jian Zhiheng stood in front of him and reported in an orderly manner.Just because his state is too normal, it is the biggest abnormality.It was as if the team had never gone on strike.

Feng Qiwu sat leaning behind the long table, at first he just flipped through the documents casually, finally, his eyes gradually passed over the information bag, and landed on Jian Zhiheng who was opposite.

He seemed to be listening to his report patiently, and seemed to be examining him seriously.

"Why are you the only one who dares to come here?" Until the end of Jian Zhiheng's report, Feng Qiwu twitched a mocking sneer, lightly raised his fingertips, and threw a stack of documents on the table, "Aren't you afraid that your companion will isolate you? "

"I know that you have reached an agreement in private and plan to join forces to resist me." He leaned his upper body slightly forward, leaning on the corner of the table with one elbow, his eyes were still indifferent, "It's okay, I don't care. Then what are you thinking about?" ? Do you want to spy on me for them?"

Jian Zhiheng bowed and replied: "Because I feel that your strength will be needed for the future battles in Group B. The division within the group is just a small loss."

Feng Qiwu's eyes moved slightly, as if he was also surprised that he would make such an answer.Soon, he sneered half mockingly again: "It seems that you are the only one who understands here?"

"If I send you out to fight, will you also send troops for me?" He looked at him, his vision seemed to turn into a real X-ray, seeing him from the inside out.

Jian Zhiheng didn't hesitate for a moment, and bowed his hands respectfully: "The city lord just asks."

While Feng Qiwu was stunned for a moment, Jian Zhiheng suddenly raised his head seriously: "City Lord, would you like to hear a few words from my heart?"

After getting acquiescence, he continued smoothly:
"When a misunderstanding is formed, there must be one party willing to take the initiative to resolve it. The city lord is arrogant and will not bow his head. As for my companions, they also need to vent their grievances. The only one who can deal with the whole matter calmly is Me. Therefore, I am willing to be the link connecting the two sides. My position is that I will neither betray my companions, but I will never rebel against you."

There was a moment of silence in the room.

The light and shadow moved, and the last ray of the setting sun wandered between the walls, passed over the window frame, passed over the long table all the way, and finally projected on Feng Qiwu's body, then stopped.He seemed to be born to be the darling of the shadows, sitting alone in this deserted place at dusk, there was a strange harmony.

The two ends of the long table were divided into light and dark sides by this beam of wandering light.

"That's just wishful thinking on your part."

Finally, Feng Qiwu raised his gaze again.And those eyes seemed to be merging with the darkness at this moment.

……

"I heard that you went to say something nice to Feng Qiwu?" After Jian Zhiheng stepped out of the castle, Guan Lin quickly came up to him.Chasing him all the way, in order not to attract the attention of other people on the road, although he was indignant, he still deliberately lowered his voice.

"Why are you doing this? Didn't we all agree to isolate him together?"

Feng Qiwu's character is so ungrateful, betraying everyone and showing favor to him at this juncture, not only will he not be grateful, but will only become a ready-made victim!Even if he has no one to use and thinks highly of you temporarily, he will only get rid of you immediately when he doesn't need it, just like he did with Wan Haoqiong!
Guan Lin didn't want to get angry with Jian Zhiheng, he was just worried about him, and cared about him.But for him who is not good at words, it is difficult for him to express this concern in words.

Perhaps, this is the case for people who have been insecure for a long time.Clearly cherishing every ray of light that enters his heart, but once he opens his mouth, it becomes sharp to stab the other party.So they can always succeed in driving away those who are willing to stop and stay for them.

"I don't want to isolate anyone." Jian Zhiheng replied simply.

"I think that no matter what kind of people they are, they are eligible to be redeemed. Even if they temporarily refrain from socializing for some reason, in their hearts, they must be eager to blend in with the crowd. If you give up on them just because of their appearance, That part of the population is so lonely."

"That's just your wishful thinking." Guan Lin was full of helplessness, "Even if you help him, he won't thank you."

Jian Zhiheng was startled, and then, he suddenly laughed in surprise and joy.

"Do you know? You said the same thing to him just now! This also means that you have similarities in your hearts, and you can understand each other, right?"

Amid Guan Lin's somewhat helpless stares, Jian Zhiheng smiled to himself, facing the sunset in the sky.

"Actually, everyone is more or less grateful for the kindness from others, but there will be different degrees. Some people, from the very beginning, will remember 'the kindness of a drop of water will be repaid by the spring', And some people, maybe you helped him once, twice, or even a dozen times, and he didn't respond obviously to you. However, the warmth that has been planted will always remain in his heart. When, a flower blooms."

"A grateful heart is like a seed. Watering it bit by bit can make it grow and germinate. Those seemingly cold-blooded people are just because they are not watered enough."

"Don't worry, if he really didn't understand gratitude at all, he wouldn't have cared about Sister Liang for so many years." At the end, Jian Zhiheng smiled and patted Guan Lin's shoulder again.The brilliance of the setting sun has gradually faded, but at this moment, he looks like a natural luminous body.He has always been like this, warming everyone around him with a sunny smile.

"Besides, he is the young master of Jiuyou Palace. He is aloof. It is a rare opportunity for everyone to eat and live together. I very much hope that I can change his inherent concept and let him be friends with everyone happily."

Guan Lin wanted to refute, but finally swallowed it under his sincere eyes.Although he still felt that Jian Zhiheng was stupid, in retrospect, didn't he insist on being friends with himself despite everyone's advice and confusion?In the end, it was he who pulled himself out of the darkness...

If at that time, he could be easily swayed by other people's doubts, he would not be who he is today.Then, who is supposed to be the one who knows the "pain of isolation" best, what right does he have to prevent him from saving another person?

Maybe this is him.The persistent one is often a little silly, but he always keeps going forward with kindness, and he will shine in his own eyes.

***
On this day, there was a sparse sound of horseshoes in the forest.When the two war horses stepped in front of the mountain road, they stopped slowly, and the two figures jumped down and began to walk on the forest path.

"Si Qi, don't you feel bored?" It was Meng Zhao who spoke now.He looked at the grass all around, his face full of boredom and dissatisfaction.

"Bored? What?" The other person was Jin Siqi.With a bamboo basket on her arm, she was carefully observing both sides of the road at this time, not letting go of every hidden bright color among the weeds, trying to find usable herbs.

"Work!" Meng Zhao raised his voice. "Our daily work is either to inspect the mine or to pick herbs. Why can't we arrange some heavyweight work for us? I want to go to the battlefield too!"

Jin Siqi raised her head worriedly: "After seeing what happened to Wan Haoqiong, do you still want to go to the battlefield?"

The scene of Wan Haoqiong's execution made her feel deeply that peace is a blessing.For ordinary people like them, since there is no way to be as good as others, at least they should not be too greedy for things that do not belong to them, so as not to attract people's hatred.It is also a kind of happiness to be able to live a life in peace.

Just like back then...if she hadn't gained the favor of that senior for a short time, she wouldn't have let Jiang Caini deal with her like that.That period of emotion that once illuminated her youth, but darkened her entire life, looking back now, is it a blessing or a curse?
It is precisely because of this that she began to reconsider her ideals.

Maybe she was born to be such an ordinary person, the martial arts world does not belong to her, and the fashion world also does not belong to her.Whether it is an endorsement or a film and television script, you need to compete with others for limited resources, so the most direct way is to compete with your senior sister.

At that time, I don't know how she will deal with herself... But at least now, she has a deadly weapon in her hands.That is, the darkness that she personally concocted for herself back then...

At the beginning, she used that tragedy to ruin her love and future. Today, she may use it to ruin her career again.Competing with the senior sister, apart from reopening her own scars, making her flesh fester and scarred, it can't bring her any aura and glory she wants at all.

Therefore, she is considering giving up those flashy temptations, but cherishing the people in front of her.

After this mission is over, she will choose a suitable opportunity to confess her past to Meng Zhao.At that time, if Meng Zhao can not dislike her and continue to tolerate her, then they... let's go on together.

Meng Zhao was the one who injected a ray of light into her heart when she was most helpless.After experiencing the initial resistance and escape, she finally began to be able to look directly at the light.

If it is said that he will become her destined salvation, then she hopes that she can also become his strength.

They are not mature enough, and they still have such and other shortcomings, but they can support each other, stumble along together, and walk through this life journey of suffering and happiness.

"Because Wan Haoqiong is out, Group B is the time to employ people!" Beside her, Meng Zhaozheng spoke plausibly, "Others look down on us, but we can't look down on ourselves. Are we weaker than others?"

"At the beginning, I took part in this mission to exercise. Now that I can't even go to the battlefield, how can I exercise?"

"Just like your senior sister, she is a very good female general! Don't you want to beat her?"

Jin Siqi was shocked, and Meng Zhao had already held her hand, shaking it back and forth: "Siqi, you can go with me to find the city lord and talk to them, okay? If we go together, maybe they will get more Give me some face!"

Jin Siqi sighed helplessly.Meng Zhao's character is like a child's, which is his advantage, because he is simple and has no evil intentions, but sometimes, he will act like a child regardless of his temper, but it also makes people feel uncomfortable. People are troubled.

"The city lord and the others should have their own plans for what tasks to arrange for the team members." Jin Siqi thought for a while, but still tried to persuade, "We should not add pressure to them. If they feel that we are suitable for the battlefield, naturally Will use us."

"From my point of view, Ye Shuo is similar to Feng Qiwu!" Meng Zhao didn't make it clear, and complained angrily, "On the surface, it seems that everyone has discussions and opinions, and it seems to be very democratic. In fact, what is it? He had already decided it himself! Last time I found that top vein for Group B, I thought Ye Shuo would reuse me from now on! Who knows, he didn't even mention it afterwards!"

Jin Siqi still comforted her patiently, and the two gradually drifted away in the mountains and forests.

Until the figures of the two disappeared behind the bushes, at the bottom of the hillside, a tuft of grass swayed, and a figure suddenly sat up.

Ge Shuchong originally slept here, but unexpectedly, he just heard a big secret.

He sat up straight, glanced upwards, and spat out the grass stalk in his mouth with a "poof".Rolling his eyes twice, he revealed a thoughtful smile.

"Top-level mineral lode, it sounds really good..."
