Longmen Memoirs

"But you are Xiaota, and I am your relative."

"You should know by now that I am not the little tower you mentioned." Tallulah looked away.

"You will play with me." Xiao Mo held Talulah's hand tightly and said unreasonably: "...You are Xiao Ta."

"Then you can only choose one." Drake said suddenly. "If you want to be with me, you can't go back. Even so, you still have to come here? It's not too late to let go now."

"Is it okay not to choose?" Xiao Mo asked weakly.

"No."

"Well..." Xiao Mo didn't say anything, but just held Drake's hand and followed him.

Draco didn't chase her away either.

When they reached the gate, Rhode Island, who was holding Xiao Mo in hand, gathered around the spectators and silently parted ways.

Drake led Xiao Mo through the crowd.

"Have you thought about it?" Draco asked.

"No."

"How long do you want?"

"I don't know." Xiao Mo shook his head: "Are you going to drive me away?"

"Do you want to go?"

"Do not want to."

Draco said nothing.

After a while, she spoke.

"Then don't regret it."

Chen Mo in the crowd was stunned when he saw this scene.

"Your daughter?" Nian suddenly asked.

"what."

Chen Mo nodded complicatedly.

"I'm more promising than you. I look like a good person among people."

"Uh... thanks."

------

"Miss Tallulah..."

Amiya didn't expect to encounter this scene just after she returned to Rhode Island. She was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses. The look in Drake's eyes made Amiya a little worried. As one of the few insiders, Amiya Ya was very aware of the relationship between Drak and Tallulah, and she did not want to see Tallulah get into a dispute with Drak in Rhodes Island.

"It doesn't matter. Don't worry, Miss Amiya. Since I decided to come here, I have already made preparations. I won't do anything just because of a little hostility and cold eyes."

"That's good...Sorry, I didn't expect that either."

"I am the one who should apologize." Tallulah shook her head and looked at Draco: "No matter who she is, who this matter is because of [-|

Tallulah's eyes swept across the crowd of Rhode Islanders gathered in front of the gate.

"Froststar has already mentioned it to me. You gave her a very special feeling. She couldn't explain it clearly, but now I can see it." Tallulah withdrew her gaze and fell on Amiya, then looked at Alina. , the latter nodded slightly: "You remind me of the previous integration movement, but you are much better than us at that time. I have learned your thoughts from Frost Star, maybe... I mean maybe, Rhode Island Your presence will bring something different, and honestly, I’m excited for what the future holds for you.”

"Ah...thank you." Amiya didn't respond and looked reserved.

"Thank you too, Miss Amiya." Tallulah smiled gently: "You and Rhode Island, whether it is for individuals or for the integrated movement, thank you very much for everything you have done."

ps: Actually, Terra and the Integration Movement basically have no basis for taking the red line... Red change is just a joy. After all, no matter how good things are, they must conform to the national conditions. Copying them will have no effect. China's Marxism-Leninism is already another country. A set of theories.

Chapter 173 Superficial

Chen Mo has no plans to show off for the time being.

Although escaping is shameful, it is very useful. Chen Mo is not that stupid to go out when Chen is still angry, and Tallulah and Vina are still outside, so they will inevitably target him again.

If there is no interest, there will be no interest.

But Chen Mo didn't feel that he was a coward. Besides, being afraid of his wife...can you call Chen Mo afraid? It can be called a well-founded man who can bend and stretch.

Anyway, Chen Mo quietly raised his head and glanced outside, gave her a friendly gesture with a look of disgust and disdain, and then ducked back into Rhode Island.

Chen Mo had to admit that what Nian said still made sense. This matter was not over yet. He had not thought of a good solution yet, so he could only delay it until Chen was no longer so angry, and until Wei Na and Chen Mo were temporarily We have reached a consensus that after Tallulah comes to Rhode Island, Draco will probably not jump out again, but we still have to be vigilant. If the complicated relationship between Draco and Tallulah is not handled well, with Draco's character, nothing will happen. Not surprising, but the presence of Chen, Drac and Tallulah made Chen feel complicated and at the same time probably drew away some of the firepower.

When they get into trouble, who should Chen help?In fact, Chen Mo was also very curious.

As for Wei Na, Chen Mo knew that Wei Na’s current identity could not stay in Rhode Island for too long, but the situation after the integration movement and Qicheng would inevitably require Victoria’s assistance, so Chen Mo would have to meet Wei Na sooner or later, otherwise Chen Mo felt that there would probably be no results from the mere negotiation between Vina and Tallulah. Although Vina looked undisciplined, she was the monarch of Victoria after all, and she would not make any concessions on matters related to Victoria's interests.

Although Victoria is not bordering Ursus, Victoria's economic and cultural exports to Ursus over the years have gathered a large amount of capital and business channels in Ursus. Only part of these things can help Qicheng solve many problems. , the situation in Kazdaele is much more complicated than that in Victoria. Although His Highness is concerned about the development of infected people in Ursus, most of the lords in the Parliament and the Elders of the Senate do not agree with His Highness's policies. What His Highness can do is very limited.

Chen Mo was not prepared to put all his expectations on Yanguo, which bordered Ursus and was full of conflicts. Since he was determined to go to Chernobog, he would not be unprepared. The integration movement in Chernobyl has developed to the current stage. It has fallen into an inevitable bottleneck. If the shackles of the infected organization are not broken, it will be difficult to make greater progress.

Nowadays, I don’t know how many countries are staring at the political struggle in Ursus. They will not be completely unprepared. Since the founding of Colombia, they have always thought about the opportunity to obtain the international status they deserve. Dongguo and Ursus have been since the bloody peak. After the war, there was an unforgettable blood feud. The bloody expansion of Ursus and the dozens of disputes between Casimir had no room for relaxation, let alone the Yan Kingdom.

How much hatred Ursus attracted in order to conquer caused countless disputes.

I don’t know how many countries are staring at this declining behemoth, waiting to tear off a piece of its flesh and drive it off the altar of international powers. It’s just Ursus’ bloody and cruel history of conquest that makes most countries afraid. .

The citizens of Ursus are still immersed in the glory of the conquest created by their late emperor, and are unwilling to open their eyes to see the real situation in the country. The oppressed infected people and civilians, after losing the dividends brought by the war, withered in the factory machines, and After the fruits of war are gone, people's anger is pent up and about to explode.

Most of the time, for the war, the citizens will unite together. Under the leadership of a heroic leader, and with the legion's continuous expansion of territory and victories, national pride and honor will inspire their patriotism, and young people will enthusiastically Joining the army, factories and citizens can endure the exploitation and hardship of life in order to win.

But once these are lost, the former emperor's legion and victory are lost, and the high-pressure policy is still maintained, then the people's dissatisfaction will eventually burst out. Without the encouragement and cover of victory, these contradictions will eventually overturn the aristocracy of Ursus. and landowners.

The slave owner will be hanged from the tree on the manor by his slaves, and the civilians will take to the streets, pick up swords, and defend their property. Of course, the army can suppress these, but the soldiers who wield sharp blades against the citizens will recall the memory of the late emperor Glory, these glory do not allow them to massacre their own citizens, the army will be confused, and ultimately do not know what to do.

The current emperor of Ursus, Feodor, is a very far-sighted man. Maybe give him some time, he and his speaker may really be able to reverse this decline through continuous reforms and divide some of the interests of the military power to alleviate The contradictions and dissatisfaction of the people, but his reforms are destined to shake the interests of the decadent military power, and there is no room for relaxation on both sides.

At this time, as long as someone who can satisfy the people's food, dignity, and needs comes forward, it may not be able to shake Ursus's rule for hundreds of years.

Although it is simple to say, it is difficult to do. The previous integration movements did not have this condition. In fact, their greatest use is to become the best pallet player for various countries to intervene in Ursus in this upcoming great change. .

Victoria, Colombia, and even Kazdaele and Yanguo, with the size of the integrated transport, it is easy for them to manipulate and ignore this organization.

"But not now, right?"

Tallulah sat quietly on the chair opposite Chen Mo, listening to Chen Mo's analysis of the upcoming situation in Ursus. She raised her head, staring at Chen Mo's face with her bright red eyes, and placed her hands gently on her knees. .

"When did you come up with this idea?"

"When I listened to you talk about your ideals." Chen Mo said, "You want to change the snowfield and change the fate of the infected. We all know that this road is difficult to achieve. I know that you are not afraid of failure, even if this road seems difficult. If you don't know, you will still go on, but I can't, Tallulah."

Chen Mo was sitting in front of Tallulah. Ever since Snowfield, it had been a long time since they had been able to sit across from each other and have a good talk like this.

The scene in front of her reminded Chen Mo of how she and Tallulah would occasionally sit in front of the fire in the wooden house and talk about these things when the integration movement was still wandering in the desolate and cold snowfields a few years ago.

At that time, Chen Mo finally knew that the situation of infected people in this world was different from that in the other world. Moreover, he only had a partial understanding of what the changes should be and how to implement them.

It's easy to follow the script, but if it can be successful if it's just the script, why would there be so many sacrifices? The situation of the infected people will be even more difficult and desperate.

"You still did it." Tallulah lowered her eyes. "Just like what you said when you were young, how did you know those things? We were obviously the same age at that time."

"Because I don't have such lofty ideals." Chen Mo said: "What I can do to help you is very limited, and I don't have such a long-term vision to predict the changes that may occur in Ursus today, but I know very well that just by relying on You, with the integration movement under your command at that time, a group of hungry and cold infected people could not do anything. You are not even qualified to serve on the table. The most likely thing is that you will just become a hypocritical regime and then be pushed to wait for someone. When a country has finished reaping the benefits or is ready to take action, it becomes a scapegoat and a victim, and it does not even have the right to choose."

"That's why you don't agree with my idea."

"No." Chen Mo shook his head: "If you just want to find a place for the infected to live, you can do it. As long as you leave Ursus, you can still survive even if there is no mobile city, even if you take the infected with you Let’s go to Kazdale.”

Chen Mo looked at Tallulah's scarlet pupils, and Draco pursed his lips slightly.

"You're right. If I'm just looking for a land to survive, I can do it."

"But in this way, the situation of the infected people has not changed." Chen Mo said, pressing his hand on the armrest with a gentle look: "All you can save is the infected people who follow you. You want to do more, you want to What changed was the fate of the infected, not just saving a few infected people. From that moment on, I knew you would never look back."

"But it was very difficult for the integration movement at that time to just maintain its own survival, and what you have to fight against is the Ursus Empire Legion with its army, long swords, armor, and warships. They can clean you up without any effort, but they He didn't do this because of the Kosiche in your body and his dark thoughts. He wanted to use the infected to change your mind and use your integration movement to push the infected in Ursus to destruction and destroy the infected. They and the wavering lords in Ursus, the parliament trying to reform, and the foreign forces who dare to intervene."

"Your idea is correct, Tallulah, but neither you nor I can guarantee that the black snake will watch you succeed, and the Ursus military power who colluded with him will not watch you succeed. As long as he Still, your ideal is destined to fail from the beginning." Chen Mo said: "I can't watch you fail, and I can't watch that black snake drive you to despair, but whether it is Victoria or Ka It is impossible for Zdel to take action against Ursus. Only Yan State. The conflict between Yan State and Ursus in northern Xinjiang has long been unavoidable. Yan State is also the only country that has disputes with Ursus and may declare war on Ursus. country, and more importantly, if you want to go south, most of the mobile city clusters in Ursus are in the rich south, and the northern border of the Yan Kingdom is the southern border of Ursus."

Tallulah didn't answer. After a while, she spoke:

"I never understood, how did you become...do it?"

"Because of Wei Yanwu." Chen Mo said, "It's no longer important."

Tallulah didn't ask any more questions.

She knew very well that although Chen Mo said it lightly, Talulah could understand how difficult it was just by thinking about how he returned to the Northern Xinjiang after returning to Yan Country.

"So you deliberately let me know that you were the one who killed the infected, right? Through Frost Star." Tallulah said: "Bozhuo Kasti and Alina, in fact, I should have thought at that time, Ali How could Na get the defense map of the Yan Kingdom army, and Mr. Bozhuokasti would actually agree to the proposal to attack the Northern Army headquarters? Now think about it carefully, if the other party had not arranged it, we would never have succeeded."

Tallulah said: "I did it anyway, I wanted to kill you. I should have thought that you did all this, but I still deceived myself and chose to escape."

The war in Northern Xinjiang made the integration movement famous throughout Ursus. People's attitude towards the infected has changed to some extent. More importantly, Ursus cannot accept that it was the infected who ended the war and brought the disease to Ursus. After winning the victory, the infected also strengthened their belief in following the integration movement. From then on, Tallulah was no longer unknown but a real and undisputed leader.

Just like, the overlord lifts the cauldron, Cao Cao stabs Dong.

"It's not your fault. The black snake will incite you, Tallulah, and the countless generations of hatred and stories that Kosiche has carried. This seed must be ended, but if I am here, you will suppress him and there will never be a solution. To lure her out, you have to learn hatred. The black snake will not let go of this opportunity to occupy your mind." Chen Mo said: "You are fire, Tallulah, but you shouldn't just burn a black snake to death. It's not worth it to kill a snake with him."

"What the patriots said is actually not wrong. People's hearts are different. Although infected people are miserable, they are also human beings. As humans, they will have various thoughts, betrayal and escape. You care about the infected people. The black snake's trap is shameful. But you can’t think that all infected people are good, and you can’t be prejudiced against them because of this.”

"I know, I just..." Tallulah wanted to refute, but in the end she could only say nothing as if to stop. She couldn't deny that at that time she was indeed biased against the infected, and she did naively expect them not to Will betray himself.

"I know, I know, you are a leader, and your ideals cannot tolerate pointing a knife at your fellow infected people." Chen Mo replied perfunctorily.

"...Talk nicely!" Tallulah glanced at Chen Mo slightly, a little dissatisfied. Chen Mo was a little surprised that she would show such an expression.

"How did you convince Mr. Patriot?" Tallulah asked. She hoped that Patriot would agree with her ideas countless times, but all failed. Patriot's child-like eyes made her feel unconvinced at that time. .

"I didn't convince him." Chen Mo thought for a while: "I just told Mr. Bozhuokasti that I think his approach is correct, but Tallulah is still young after all. She just needs some time, and you don't want to Seeing a person who ruthlessly eradicates hidden dangers due to differences with him become the leader of the infected, Mr. Bozhuo Kasti may not agree with some of your ideas, but in fact, he still agrees with you as a leader. "

Tallulah was silent for a while and nodded.

"Mr. Patriot is indeed such a person."

"Bozokasti is a Wendigo from Kazdaele. He has been living in the war since the time of the Emperor. His only wife and son died in the disaster of the infected. He adopted Frost from the mine. Xing understands the cruelty of this land better than anyone else, but it is also because of this that he has the idea of ​​​​changing in his heart. He opposes you because he does see the potential and hope in you, and does not want you to Because of that naivety, he caused disaster, otherwise how could he bring the shield guards and Shuangxing who have been through life and death to join the integration movement." Chen Mo said with a smile: "He has expectations for you, and your promise has lived up to his expect."

Tallulah breathed out softly.

"I know, I know their expectations, Yelena, Alina, little Ino, little Sasha, the quiet Lyudmila, the kind Alex... this land, that snowfield , those who chase the sun, they are the ones who taught the meaning of these ideals, Cosiche will never understand, he only sees sacrifice."

Tallulah said.

"I'm very afraid that I will betray their trust in me, but whenever I think of them and my ideals, I have the motivation to keep going. No matter what enemy I face, whether it is the shadow of Cosiche, even this No matter how long the road is, no matter how painful it is, until we fall. I will not and do not dare to stop."

"Now you do, Tallulah."

Tallulah shook her head slightly.

"I'm halfway done." She said, looking at Chen Mo: "Sometimes I feel unwilling to do so. If everything we do is doomed to fail, just thinking about it makes me feel unwilling to accept his expectations. It makes me feel heavy, and those expectant eyes even make me want to escape."

She lowered her eyes and squeezed her fingers gently on her legs.

"Ideals can't change my situation. Countless people will still die of illness in the cold winter, and countless people will still fall on the road of migration. The pickets make us tired of dealing with them, but I can't change their lives. I can only I can tell them my ideals while saying useless words again and again, but these words can neither fill their stomachs nor ward off the cold."

Tallulah said, her lowered eyes looking at her palms.

Perhaps she could only say these words in front of a few people.

At that time, she felt that she was really hypocritical. If she had not brought them with her and not for that so-called ideal, many of them should have continued to live. It was Tallulah and her ideal that killed them.

Tallulah said calmly:

"They have never resented me for this. Their trusting eyes actually frightened me. The patriots did not agree with my ideas and did not want to go south. In fact, I knew very well, because those promises about ideals seemed so unrealistic to me. Practically speaking, I don’t even know where I’m going to take them next.”

"But those things have passed, and you have fulfilled your words of promise." Chen Mo said: "It was you who took the infected to establish a new integration movement in Chernobog. You proved that there was nothing wrong with your choice. Nor does it disappoint those who died and lived for it.”

Of course people have selfish motives, and no one can remain firm as always, but the important thing is that they have not backed down. This is Tallulah in the eyes of patriots. This is the Tallulah that Chen Mo knows. It is precisely because she can Having such thoughts, rather than being cold and cruel, is why people place their expectations on her. This is the biggest difference between her and His Highness and those people on this land who have long been numb and greedy.

"But I let you down." Tallulah raised her head and said.

Chen Mo raised his hand and held Talulah's palm on his legs.

"Because I also hope that you can become that kind of person and realize your ideals." Chen Mo said: "No matter what happened in the past, you still have a long way to go, Tallulah, and I will walk with you from now on. Yes, I promise."

Tallulah sighed lightly and squeezed Chen Mo's hand.

"There is also Hui Jie, right?" She smiled: "Apart from her and that Aslan, Drake..."

The power in Tallulah's hands grew.

Chen Mo's expression froze on his face and he was a little nervous.
