#541: Responsible

“But don’t be nervous, because the final decision rests with me, and I still haven’t decided whether to invite the holy sword Huiyao.”

“So even if you gladly agree to ascend to the Supreme Being, I may not find it interesting and refuse to invite the holy sword Huiyao; on the other hand, if you are greedy for life and fear of death and have no intention of taking the throne, I may find it very interesting and just name someone to ascend the throne. And cancel the holy sword and let the new emperor save the world.”

“So, please follow your inner desires and speak your truest thoughts.”

Cha Shiyin smiled and said, “Your sisters have all handed in passing answers, and I believe you will be no exception.”

“Water Cloud Palace!”

At this time, a cabinet minister couldn’t help it, and said loudly: “Please also consider-“

Before he finished speaking, Ling Jiangli’s palm silently pressed down on his shoulder. His words suddenly stuck in his throat, and the whole figure flew out like a broken kite.

Cha Huan, who had been prepared for a long time, opened the door of the curator’s room with a slap of light from afar, causing the cabinet minister to roll out in a mellow manner. Yu Ke outside understood the situation at a glance, and closed the door very politely, so that the screams of the cabinet ministers were blocked by the door and stopped abruptly.

“You have also seen the attitude of the adults,” Cha Shiyin said with a smile: “Don’t be under pressure, you don’t need to be responsible for anyone.”

You are not responsible for anyone.

This sentence is like a stone, smashing layers of ripples in the heart lake of Mingshuiyun. She clenched the note in her hand, recalling the meeting last night in her mind.

……

Qin Leyin, covered in blood, stumbled out of the ruins. As soon as Ming Shuiyun was pleasantly surprised, he saw that he took the initiative to pounce on her and hug her, causing Ming Shuiyun to be at a loss.

“Are you all right? You have a lot of blood–I’m going to find a medical officer–I’ll take you to safety first–“

“I’m fine, listen to me.” His voice was bloody: “Go back as soon as possible, pack your luggage, and remember not to be seen. Come to me before noon, and we will leave Yanjing as soon as possible.”

“Why?”

“Yanjing is no longer safe. I can’t stay here any longer. I will take you to a safe place.”

“But—the holy sword shines—”

“The holy sword Huiyao can’t be used. Even if it can be used, it’s not your turn to use it. It’s pointless to search for the sword and fight for the throne. The sky is falling and those who are tall will be the top.”

“But what about the Steam Chamber of Commerce? What about the Peerless List? What about your Qin family’s industry? These can’t be transferred in a day!”

“Compared with life, these things are not worth mentioning. Take what you can take, and give up what you can’t take. In short, you must leave as soon as possible.”

“But what about my aspirations? What about your aspirations?!” Ming Shuiyun shook his head: “We have paid so much in the search for the sword… Omniscient Eye, Unparalleled Killing, Blood Essence Stone… You see, you are injured like this because of the blood essence stone, how can we just give up like this, how can we just leave like this?”

“Why not? And the throne is no longer a good thing, it’s just a hot potato, and it’s not worth our continued fight-“

“But if even the Yan Jingjing is not safe, what else is safe in Huiyao? You can choose to go hard now, but what if there are wars in other places in the future? The world is broken, you can Avoid it for a while, but you can’t avoid it for a lifetime! Avoidance can’t solve the problem!”

“Avoidance can solve problems. If I can avoid it for a while, I can naturally avoid it for the rest of my life.”

The red-haired man was not shaken by her words at all. He raised his hand and seemed to want to rub her head, but when he noticed that his hands were covered in blood, he put it down: “Life is not long, short or short, dozens of times. For years, you can still hide if you want to. And this civil war, which can be as long as 20 years or as short as 10 years, will definitely end one day.”

“Ten years, unless the loess and bones, I will keep you worry-free for ten years.”

Ming Shuiyun still shook his head: “But there are still so many… classmates, teachers, and you—”

“The owner.” He suddenly showed a sinister smile, with bright red blood stains on his white teeth, which made Ming Shuiyun feel a little itchy in his neck: “You may have misunderstood something – I’m not talking to you. Discuss, I am notifying you.”

Ming Shuiyun closed his mouth, but dissatisfaction was written all over his face.

He restrained his smile and said calmly: “Shuiyun, there may be other solutions to this situation, but those are none of our business. After all, you only have one life, so you can’t squander it easily.”

“You are not responsible for anyone.”

……

“Water Cloud Palace?”

Hearing Cha Shiyin’s greetings, Ming Shuiyun took a long breath, raised his head and asked seriously, “If the holy sword continues to hang in the air, will there be a safe place in Huiyao?”

Cha Shiyin was a little surprised, but quickly shook his head: “No.”

“Not even one district? Like Dongyang, Xiamu, Leiyin…”

“They just didn’t react. Once Kinki fell, it would be a period of chaotic wars. Until the real emperor was competed, the war would not stop.” Cha Shiyin said: “It has happened in history. During the four chaotic wars, the short term was 12 years, and the long term was 20 years. However, it was often these ten years of chaotic wars that halved the number of Huiyao’s household registration and cleared up a large area of ​​uncultivated land, so after the chaos, there must be There is great governance because there are few people in the land and abundant resources.”

Ming Shuiyun looked sad: “What kind of strength do you need to protect yourself and save your relatives and friends in this chaotic world? Can you escape from the peak?”

“In a chaotic world, reaching the peak is just a stronger ant.” Cha Shiyin said calmly: “Shuiyun Palace, you must understand that human beings are a social animal, and they need to eat, drink and sleep when they reach the peak. However, if you want something, you will inevitably fall into conflict, and now that guns are so developed, an accidental stray bullet is enough to take Wu Zhu’s life.”

“The only sure way to protect yourself and your friends and family is to lead an army, be a leader, or even be a victor.”

“Escape can’t solve problems. When the world becomes difficult to go, going through trouble is the best policy. Go through trouble and go through trouble. The world is full of beacon, and it will only get more and more difficult. Only by facing the difficulty can we step out. The Road to Peace.”

Ming Shuiyun was silent, and everyone was watching her nervously. Cha Shiyin was still not in a hurry and waited quietly for Ming Shuiyun’s reaction.

“Then if you pick up the holy sword Huiyao, will you really be able to eliminate the chaos of war and protect everyone?”

“Can.”

“Because of the violence of the holy sword Shining?”

“It’s not just violence.” Cha Shiyin smiled and said, “Maybe you can tell it from the history books, but many people don’t know that – as long as the emperor swings the holy sword once and completely controls the radiance, he can open his whole body. Hidden everywhere, physical fitness continues to rise, and thinking ability will quickly surpass that of ordinary people.”

“The emperor who controls the holy sword radiance, regardless of whether he has previously cultivated the martial arts, will be able to step into the peak of the peak in fifteen days or three months. In addition, the emperor’s learning ability It will be beyond imagination, even able to understand people’s hearts, understand the truth, and have an unprecedentedly powerful spiritual power. With every gesture, he can make his subjects kneel and worship him.”

“In the history books, all the emperors who have once wielded the holy sword are all wise monarchs of a generation, not only wise monarchs, but even commanders of the army, and they are praised by the world for their cultural and martial arts.”

“But the power of the holy sword radiance is rarely circulated, because even the emperor knows it’s not worth it – even if it is swung once, it will cost half of its life. Enjoy. Who would want to wield a holy sword if there was nothing he could do?”

“That is to say,” Ming Shui Yun said faintly, “As long as I take charge of the holy sword, I can become a king who speaks for itself?”

“Yes.”

“Can do whatever I want?”

“Theoretically it is impossible, but when you reach that level of thinking, you will know how to fool the subjects and hide your selfishness in the public heart.”

“What if I… selfishly let an unqualified person occupy a high court position?”

Cha Shiyin was stunned for a moment, and then burst into a smirk: “What you said is like taking a golden round to the steamed bun shop and asking if you can buy a steamed bun.”

“If you are talking about whether you can promote someone to be the chief assistant of the cabinet, make his family a hundred-year-old prominent clan, make him a nobleman, make him a lifetime of glory and wealth and worry-free, so that he can be well-known in the court. If you show your strength and let him live forever, then I can give you a clear answer—it’s absolutely okay, you can even go a little bit too far, such as letting him live in the imperial court or something…”

“But, is it worth it?”

Is it worth it?

Ming Shuiyun is also asking himself. does it worth? is it necessary? Will you regret it?

She lowered her head, and suddenly realized that the note that Lai Ya had secretly stuffed into her was wet with sweat on her hands. Although everyone is looking at her now, for some reason, Ming Shuiyun is not at all afraid at the moment.

“Come out”

“I’m waiting for you”

Ming Shuiyun folded the note and put it in his pocket, then fell into a long silence again.

“At least swing two swords?” she asked suddenly.

“At least, and at most. Two swords are enough to solve all problems.”

“Two Swords~IndoMTL.com~ How many years of life do I have left?”

“Now the average life expectancy is generally between 50 and 60 years old. If you take good care of it, you can live to the age of Principal Cha and the others… But after wielding the holy sword, you will lose the chance to keep healthy.” Cha Shiyin After thinking about it: “If you are 60 years old, then you have more than 40 years of life left.”

“With one sword, there are only twenty years left, and with another sword, there are only ten years left. In theory, it should be a little more, but ten years is more appropriate.”

“Ten years…?”

Ming Shuiyun murmured, and his eyes gradually became firm. She pursed her lips and nodded slightly.

“Enough is enough.”

Cha Shiyin showed a curious look: “Although I can probably guess why, would you mind talking about Shuiyun Palace?”

“As you said, I’m not responsible for anyone.”

Ming Shuiyun looked at the platinum tower outside the window, his eyes were flowing, his eyes were gentle.

“I just want to hold him accountable.”
