Old days in the box

Chapter 319 Dialogue between those who stop fighting and those who want to fight

On the vast snowfield in front of Zixiao Pass, the sound of wind and snow gradually became louder.

Chu Shun stared at Yuan Wuyou in front of him, his face gradually turning livid.

"Why?" He paused and finally asked.

"We should not provoke war with the outside world at will. Once the war is introduced into the Jade World, it will be too late to stop it."

Yuan Wuyou's mouth was trembling with white air as she answered word for word. Even with her physical condition, it was still a bit too forced to carry out activities for a long time in such low temperature.

But Chu Shun's face was livid, and the leather gloves he originally intended to loosen the reins froze, and he did not continue to complete the dismounting action.

A war is imminent, and it is a taboo for the military to talk about a truce before the war. It should be delayed and punished as soon as possible to stabilize the morale of the military.

Chu Shun gave her a chance to ask the reason, but she got this answer.

"If I remember correctly, you were the only person in the Bailong audition who got full marks in the martial arts test. You also said that in life, you should make contributions and break the earth to become a king. Only then will this short life be worthwhile, but you Now you are telling me that the war should cease?"

"When I traveled outside the customs, I saw with my own eyes how war affects people, how it twists them into inhuman beasts. They use all means to kill each other on the battlefield until a tragic victory is determined... Ours Our ancestors have defended the long-lasting peace for us, and we should not break it at will."

"War is so cruel. The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. What's the surprise?"

Chu Shun tightened the reins in his hands again and looked down at her coldly on the horse: "You are born with sword hands. It is easy for you to kill the enemy and win. Don't you even understand this? not understand?"

"Yes, you are right. It is easy to kill. It is easy to destroy others. It is easy to rain fire from the sky. But peace is difficult. It is difficult to bring long-term and stable life to the people! We have been peaceful here for many years. We have never been invaded by foreign enemies, so this is not a war we should participate in!"

Yuan Wuyou used Chi Hua to support half of his body, and his angry voice, which was almost quarrelsome, echoed in the wind and snow.

"It seems that this trip out of seclusion has had a big impact on you, and it can actually make such a huge change in your thoughts." Chu Shun said softly.

"I just saw the true appearance of war, and I didn't want the Jade World to repeat the mistakes I saw outside." Yuan Wuyou frowned.

"Really? Or did the Byzantine tell you that?"

With a sudden change in tone, Chu Shun's voice suddenly became colder and emotionless than ever before.

Yuan Wuyou raised her eyes to look at him in a daze, and at the same time she understood who the person Chu Shun was talking about was.

The person she had been following since arriving in Byzantium, the young leader of the rebels who was a head shorter than her, Vidal.

Yuan Wuyou knew that Jade Realm had been tracking her location and could even drop meteor fire from the sky to support her at any time, but she never expected that the information that Jade Realm possessed could be as specific as this.

"Before I entered the Pass to teach, I heard that you were trapped in the south of Byzantium and were besieged by the rebels there. After I came out of the Pass, I immediately put on my commander-in-chief and planned to send my army south to search for you. I didn't expect to see you. The first words you heard were a truce."

Chu Shun's expression was obscured by the sudden increase in wind and snow, and became blurry.

Only then did Yuan Wuyou suddenly realize that as Chu Shun's crown prince, he should not have come to such a forward frontline to personally lead the army. This was a risk that neither a king nor a prince should be allowed to take.

However, he came, and he personally put on the commander's armor and rode his horse into battle.

He came for a person, a person who was enough to make him defy his ministers and go to the front line to lead the army himself.

"...You personally went into battle to lead the battle for my sake."

"I'm."

The questions and answers were carried out quickly and quietly in the wind and snow without any hesitation, as fast as if it had never happened. "Then can you stop fighting for me?"

The wind and snow on the top of the mountain began to scream sadly. Chu Shun closed his eyes and took a deep breath on the horse.

"I can't do it." He opened his eyes again, his eyes becoming firm again.

"The emperor has been assassinated. Now the government and the public in the Jade Realm are in shock, and people are panicking. As the successor emperor, if I ignore the previous emperor's national hatred and do not avenge it, how will the courtiers view me? How will the people of the world view me?"

The two people on the snowfield looked at each other. Yuan Wuyou was startled by Chu Shun's words and trembled slightly. Suddenly, he felt that the surrounding temperature had dropped several degrees.

It turns out that the emperor was assassinated in the Jade Realm. At this time, Chu Shun came out not as the crown prince, but as the successor emperor to preside over the overall situation.

Now, everything is different.

The person who sent her out was dead, so her outpost was automatically ineffective.

All the arrangements previously negotiated with Emperor Chu Lihua are now null and void. Whether or not to leave the border no longer depends on her report, but is directly decided by the new Emperor Chu Shun and the court. She has lost her influence on this matter. Able.

"Once the war starts, it will not end easily. You will destroy the five thousand years of peace in the Jade World." Yuan Wuyou's tone became desperate, and the weight of relying on Chi Hua became heavier and heavier.

"Don't worry, the war will not last long. You have also seen the actual results of the Longming System. The current Byzantine Empire is no match for the Jade World." Chu Shun replied coldly.

"Those are just Byzantine slum rebels. What if you have to face the real Holy See army in the future, or even the envoys of the Mother Goddess? Do you really think that the Jade World is invincible? The war will really not spread to us. Come from your country?"

Facing Yuan Wuyou's almost pleading tone, Chu Shun could not give any answer.

The general trend of the world is inherently changing and unpredictable. It is fate that has pushed this pattern to develop to what it is today. From the moment Emperor Chu Lihua was assassinated, there was no turning back.

"Needless to say, it's too late." A thousand-word answer could only be condensed into this sentence.

She came back too late—or maybe she shouldn't have gone out in the first place.

"In other words, I can't persuade you no matter what, right?" Yuan Wuyou's body was steaming with white air, and the Chihua he was leaning on trembled slightly on the ground, as if it was a scary warning.

It turned out that she was not shifting her weight, but had been accumulating strength on Chi Hua, preparing the most powerful offensive.

She wanted to stop Yujie from sending troops, even if it meant knocking Chu Shun to the ground and tying up Wuhua Da.

"I know you too well. You have never been a person who likes to convince others with words. As I said, you are born with a pair of hands that can hold a sword."

But Chu Shun was not surprised at all. He just calmly held the reins in his hands, making the horse under him roar.

As the roar echoed across the snowfield, a huge shadow suddenly came from the wind and snow, and appeared behind Chu Shun, emitting the bright firelight of an oven.

It was a bronze giant that was five people tall. It was the latest manufactured weapon put into the battlefield by the Steel Fire Department. It used a huge furnace to power its entire body, and one person could defeat an army of a thousand people.

Chu Shun brought it out originally to guard against the enemy's ambush, but unexpectedly it turned out to be the best sword for his duel with Yuan Wuyou.

"The release of the Jade World is not due to anyone's wishes, but to the general trend of the world, which cannot be reversed by manpower. Just as your swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world, it will never be able to defeat the ever-improving manufacturing technology. Since you insist on this, Then go ahead and give it a try.”

Chu Shun silently stared at the sword-wielding girl in front of him who was ready to attack, but the image of Yuan Wuyou instantly drawing his sword and slashing at the group of young men in the speech lecture hall appeared before his eyes.
