above the galaxy

Chapter 361 Life is like a play, it all depends on acting!

'Do you want to be the enemy of the whole world? '

What the Tang bandits and the old man want to do is not to make the whole world their enemies?

However, Shang Xiulin asked this question inexplicably without knowing the true identity of Tang Bandit.
That's something you can't admit even to death.

So, Tang Bandit looked at Shang Xiulin in surprise and asked: "Why would the dean ask me such a question? Why would I want to be the enemy of the whole world?"

"I come from Blue Star. I know how terrible war is. I love peace."

Tang Bandit smiled bitterly and expressed helplessness: "Besides, I am just a little person with a small nose and small eyes. Why do I want to be the enemy of the whole world? Who will take me seriously? If I have such thoughts, Isn’t that self-defeating?”

Shang Xiulin was not deceived by Tang Bandit's self-deprecation and sophistry. From the first moment he saw him, he already knew what kind of temper this guy was.

He is the product of a place like the old land, like Xiaopang
Without such a brother, he would not be able to survive in a place like the old land where people eat people.

He had been eaten long ago.

Tang Bandit squinted his eyes and laughed, reaching out to touch Xiaopang's head, just like the little boy who liked to raise his head and look at him with admiration.

Shang Xiulin was silent.

why?
Because he is Xiaopang's master, and he is Xiaopang's brother?

He understood what Tang Bandit meant, and he also knew who the person who could make him have no choice was.

If he hadn't had such thoughts, he wouldn't have taken him back as his apprentice and would have raised him at home like his own son.

"I even have to know exactly how far they let me cut. Which knife can have its own consciousness?"

Everything he had was given by the royal family, so when the royal family came over, he could only cooperate unconditionally.

"You may not know, but I actually resigned once. To be honest, I'm scared and I don't want to do it anymore." Tang Bandi said in a deep voice.

"You will be thrown away like an abandoned child. No one will care about your life or death."

"The reason why you are still alive and can still sit in front of me and drink tea is because everything is within their control. You haven't hurt them or hurt them yet."

His fat, snow-white face was full of fear and bewilderment. If anyone dared to do this to his brother, he would go out and pick up a hammer, but the person sitting opposite him was his respected and beloved master Shang Xiulin.

He has taught and educated people all his life and has read countless people. He can still sense whether a person is sincere and whether he is lying.

As if he was worried that Tang Bandit wouldn't understand, he turned to look at Tang Bandit and said loudly: "Brother, Master is doing it for your own good. He is afraid that you will be in danger. You understand, don't you?"

"Master, look. I know that my brother understands that you are doing it for his own good."

He knew that Tang Bandit was telling the truth, and he believed that Tang Bandit was 'sincere' at this moment.

So, he hurriedly explained to Tang Bandit and said: "Master, you have misunderstood brother. My brother is not the kind of person who likes to cause trouble. Usually, he has to fight back when others provoke him."

Shang Xiulin stared at the Tang bandit with sharp eyes and asked: "First we attacked the Lu family, then the Yu family, and now it's the Qin family. Do you know how dangerous they are? How scary they are?"

"If you make them feel the crisis and make them feel that this is a life-or-death choice, they will show their true energy. At that time, no one can protect you, and they will not protect you."

Shang Xiulin was troubled by Xiaopang's quarrel, but he really couldn't bear to scold this pure and kind child.

He was silent because he didn't know what to say.

Shang Xiulin nodded and said: "There are no secrets in Phoenix City. Even if there are, they are only temporary."

Not to mention that his son and daughter are all working in important government departments, but no one dares to underestimate the power of a college dean.

Shang Xiulin frowned slightly, but did not refute.

Tang Bandi was silent for a moment, then looked at Shang Xiulin and said, "Dean, if I say I had no choice, would you believe it?"

A real reason, not a perfunctory response.

He knew that, even better than many people knew.

"You don't think that with the Overwatch Council at your back and the royal family backing you, you can be arrogant and lawless on this new star, do you?"

Shang Xiulin said nothing, but stared at Tang Bandit with burning eyes, waiting for him to give him an explanation.

I have to say that Shang Xiulin's words were harsh and unpleasant.

Worried that his words would make his master sad, he raised his head and looked at Shang Xiulin and said, "Master, I will advise my elder brother when I get back. Let him be more careful when doing things, but he must not be harmed by those bad people."

"Dean, I know that people outside are scolding me, calling me Hei Wuchang, calling me an executioner, and some people say I am a vicious wolf that eats people without spitting out their bones."

Or does he feel that the two brothers are helpless and need someone to stand up and wake them up at this critical moment?
Is this just sympathy?
Seeing the master's sharp words criticizing his eldest brother, Xiaopang was frightened.

Moreover, he is also the dean of the Empire's First Military Academy.

"Since you have never thought about making an enemy of the whole world, what on earth have you been doing recently?"

However, Tang Bandit could hear deep concern and worry from inside.

Eat it literally.

Tang Bandit's expression was ferocious, and even his voice became hoarse. Everyone could see the pain in his heart: "But, I have no choice. I am just a knife. Whoever they ask me to chop, I have to chop." who."

Is he caring about himself?

"I know that Master is doing it for my brother's good. My brother is much smarter than me. He will definitely understand your painstaking efforts."

"However, I was taken to the Phoenix Palace the night I resigned. They talked to me for a long time. They wanted me to stand up, and they wanted me to get that thing done."

"I understand." Tang Bandit nodded.

Revolt?

No one can resist the royal family, not even him.

Otherwise, why would he, who came from an old land, have to go against giant families like the Qin family and the Lu family?
They have no interests or conflicts. What can he gain by killing and maiming them?
Therefore, he could only endure the humiliation and bear the burden, make knives, and become a mad dog and wolf.

No matter how the outside world sees him or scolds him, he still has to grit his teeth and persevere, and bear all the sins upon himself.

He is only a young man, but he has endured this unbearable weight.

Even so, he still protected his younger brother so well, preventing him from being invaded and harassed by the outside world.

Shang Xiulin suddenly felt sorry for Tang Bandit.

Fatty cried.

Seeing his eldest brother's ferocious and twisted expression, and hearing the words he said, his eyes turned red.

I wanted to hold back my tears, but I couldn't.

Brother, it’s too hard and too tiring.

But I can't do anything to help my elder brother.

The eldest brother has suffered so many grievances outside. When he comes back, he still has to cook for himself, practice martial arts with him, and watch horror movies that he doesn't like.
The eldest brother has never said a harsh word to himself, let alone mentioned anything about work.

I have always thought that with Sister Phoenix taking care of me, my eldest brother should live a comfortable and comfortable life.

He didn't expect that his eldest brother would lead such a life.

He is just a knife, a murderous weapon that has no thought and can only obey orders.
Thinking of this, Xiaopang's heart was filled with infinite hatred.

He hates those who control his eldest brother's life, and he hates those who force his eldest brother to be like this.

He wanted to kill them all and blow their heads off with a skull hammer.

Xiaopang wiped away his tears and suddenly got up and ran outside.

"Little Fatty, what are you doing?" Tang Bandit shouted.

"I'm going to practice." The little fat guy replied without looking back.

"It's time to eat." Tang Bandit wanted to pull him back.

Shang Xiulin waved his hand and said loudly: "Let him go."

Anyway, it will take some time to eat. After the meal is ready, just ask Ran Ran to call him back.

Little Fatty was agitated and full of anger. It would be useless for him to stay any longer. It would also affect his innocent state of mind, which would be detrimental to his later cultivation.

Shang Xiulin refilled the empty cup in front of Tang Bandit with tea. After he finished drinking, he raised his hand to help him finish the drinking.

Tang Bandit drank three cups of tea in a row, and his mood gradually calmed down. Yes, he acted.

This is his interpretation process.

Life is like a play, it depends on acting.

He deceived Shang Xiulin and even his dearest brother.
However, he had no choice.

He felt very sad and uncomfortable, but he could only hide it in his heart.

Others' pain can be expressed, but his pain can only be expressed in another way.

He suffered because he was manipulated by the royal family and misunderstood by the outside world.

It's definitely not because he deceived Xiaopang and Shang Xiulin who wanted to get him back on track.
Shang Xiulin had been carefully observing the changes in Tang Bandit's expression. When his expression stabilized and his eyes became clear, he asked aloud: "What are your plans next?"

Tang Bandit looked confused, shook his head and said: "I don't know. I just feel that it is difficult to get off the tiger now. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get rid of it."

"Originally, your master should have said these words to you, but the great master is currently in retreat, and you may not be able to see him."

"You have studied at the First Military Academy of our empire, and I am half your teacher, so I will speak frankly about some things. You are in danger now, extremely dangerous. You may lose your life at any time."

Tang Bandit smiled bitterly and said aloud: "Maybe, this is my fate?"

Shang Xiulin shook his head and said loudly: "Others have no escape route, but you do."

"Oh? Who cares about our life and death for a small role like me?"

"It's too late for you to withdraw now." Shang Xiulin looked at Tang Bandit with sincere eyes and said softly: "Just say that you have had a sudden enlightenment recently and need to calm down and concentrate on practicing, and then return directly to Bailu Academy."

"With the title of Grand Master, even the royal family has to give him some dignity. As for those who have been offended by you in the past, even if they want revenge, they will never dare to go to Bailu Mountain to show off their evil."

"Just stay on Bailu Mountain. On the one hand, you can cultivate and break through the realm and improve your strength again. At least, you must become a little grandmaster like Shen Xinglan. Becoming a little grandmaster will increase your safety. Assure."

"The other thing is to wait for the opportunity to wait for the chaos to subside. The current Phoenix City is very stormy. If you have no roots and no foundation on the new star and get involved, it will be torn to pieces. Why stay and wade in this muddy water?"

Shang Xiulin is a wise man. He has long seen that the situation in front of him is dangerous.

The source of danger lies in the royal family. In order for the new emperor to ascend the throne, Zhong Daolong must cleanse the nine major families.

Fight one wave, kill one wave, win over one wave.

Otherwise, who will this country listen to in the future?

Who is the master of the empire?

The situation is so complicated that smart people keep silent and protect themselves wisely.

However, Tang Bandit became the vanguard of this great change, taking the lead and rushing to the front.

How dangerous is this? How stupid is that?
Tang Bandit understood what Shang Xiulin meant, and both Fenghuang and Sheng Xinhuai had mentioned the suggestions he gave to him.

If he was really just a Xinxing refugee, he would hide in Bailu Mountain without hesitation. If he was more than three hundred meters away from the Grand Master, he would be an unfilial son.
But, he is not.

He has his own ambitions and intentions, and he has a mission that he has to accomplish.

Yes, the wind is high and the sea is rough now.

However, what Shang Xiulin didn't know was that he was also one of the masterminds behind the situation.

It can even be said that everything happens because of yourself.

Because of the tragedy eighteen years ago, because of his own blood feud, and because of the sad and angry souls who survived by chance.

Tang Bandit looked at Shang Xiulin with a grateful face and said loudly: "Dean, thank you for your concern and advice. I promise you that I will definitely find a way to protect myself."

After hearing Tang Bandit's answer, Shang Xiulin understood his attitude.

He is not ready to quit now, nor is he planning to return to Bailu Mountain now.

Shang Xiulin said everything he needed to say, and what he wanted to express was clearly expressed.

Tang Bandit was unwilling to obey, so he had nothing to say.

He is the elder brother of his disciple, not his direct disciple.

If you use too much force, you will annoy others.

Shang Xiulin looked at Tang Bandit and said loudly: "Little Fatty only has a brother like you, and I don't want anything to happen to you. But if you make up your mind to do something, I can only wish you immediate success."

Tang Bandi stood up and bowed deeply to Shang Xiulin.

Shang Xiulin waved his hand and said, "Go and get Xiaopang back. It's time to eat."

"it is good."

Tang Bandit came to the Black Dragon Pond again, and Xiaopang was hitting the water in the pond with a skull hammer.

boom!
boom!
boom!
Hammer after hammer.

Tang Bandit walked to the shore and sat down. He just watched the little fat man splash into the water quietly without saying anything.

Xiaopang smashed it for a while, then walked over to Bandit Tang and sat down next to him with the hammer.

"Brother, I'm sorry." Xiaopang whispered.

Tang Bandit grinned and said, "What are you talking about? How can you be sorry for me?"

"I can't help you with anything, I'm an idiot."

"Who said our little fat guy is a fool? During the entrance exam, so many teachers were vying to accept you as a student, and in the end, the dean of business got the advantage. How could such a person be a fool?"

"Brother, I can only throw rocks, but I can't do anything else."

"It'll be good if you can smash rocks." Tang Bandit's voice was gentle, and he was always extra patient when dealing with Xiaopang. "Think about it, when you were hating the mountain, you were the fat little guy who was the best at throwing rocks in our entire region. Are you awesome?"

"Brother, I am not a child anymore. I should go to the Overwatch Council, and I should stay by your side."

Xiaopang's voice was low, his eyes became red again, and he said softly: "I didn't know it was so difficult for you. If I knew, I would definitely stand with you. Even if there is thunder and lightning, let them hit me first. "

"It's not that serious." Tang Bandit said with a smile: "Didn't you see it too? Didn't I live well? Nothing happened. When I finish this time, we will go out to play. Don't you want to go to the North? Want to see the glacier? We will go there then.”

"By the way, I have also sent people to find the old man. Maybe he will be found by then. In that case, we can travel together and the family can be reunited again."

Hearing Tang Bao mention the old man, Xiaopang's expression softened a little. He looked up at Tang Bao and said loudly: "Brother, you know, no matter what you do at any time, I will always stand by you." Over here, where you are, I’ll be there.”

"Of course." Tang Bandit nodded and said, "Who told us that we are half-brothers?"

"Brother, I'm hungry."

"Come on, let's go home for dinner. The meal is already prepared, and it's all your favorite dishes."

"Brother, let's go together."

"Ah."

"Brother, can you really get your godfather back?"

"Of course, I will definitely get him back." Tang Bandi nodded seriously. Anyway, he only gave the old man half a year.

When the half-year period comes, no matter whether the old man wants it or not, or whether the time is right, whether he kidnaps him or lies him, he must be brought to the little fat man.

Xiaopang misses the old man so much.

He and the old man are Xiaopang's only relatives.
-
Chitose Mountain. The old residence of the Qin family.

Qin Wangyue looked at his grandson standing in front of him in military uniform, and complained, "Why did you come back? The military is so busy, and the situation on the border is so tense. Are these trivial matters worth your trip back?"

Qin Jianyi smiled brightly and explained aloud: "In your eyes, it is naturally trivial. But in the hearts of us juniors, it is a big deal. How can we compete with your concentration?"

"You already know the matter, what do you think?"

"The person who tied the bell must untie it. I'm going to talk to Tang Bandit."

"Your sister has already gone to talk to him." Qin Wangyue reminded.

"The way women talk is different from the way men talk." Qin Jianyi said with a smile: "I believe he is a smart person, and smart people will make smart choices."
