1014 Put Up A Building To Watch The Autumn Wind (1/2)
The autumn rain kept falling down quietly. Suddenly, the hasty sound of hooves came from the foot of the mountain, and a horseman appeared and shouted something loudly. The Eldest Brother, who was preparing to leave, glanced at the Drunkard.
The horseman was all wet and the warhorse was covered in wet mud. The horseman wore a black and gold armor which had lost its original majestic and gorgeous appearance.
The soldier was from the Divine Halls, and it seemed that he came here for an urgent matter. The Drunkard frowned slightly, which was rare, for there were not so many things in the human world that he cared for. Besides, finding him and Li Manman in the autumn rain was not easy. It was very likely that the Divine Halls sent tens of thousands of soldiers searching for them. So what happened on Earth?
With a clear sound, the soldier kneeled down, touched the ground with his forehead and passed the message to the Drunkard in a trembling voice.
Ning Que had started killing people in Chang'an.
Hearing this, the Drunkard looked more serious, but the Eldest Brother looked relaxed.
The Divine Halls didn't know who Ning Que killed or how many he killed, just that he started killing people. And according to the intelligence from the Great Tang, all prefectures were beginning to kill people.
”You know, I planned to leave here and start killing people before.Now I see,” said the Eldest Brother as he turned to look at the Drunkard, revealing deep guilt and self-blame. ”My Youngest Brother is much braver than me.”
”This kind of determination has nothing to do with bravery. It is just a habit. He is used to killing people and risking other people's lives to win. As I've said before, he is a person who is good at risking his life.” The Drunkard replied without any expression, ”But I've also said that I love no one and nothing in the human world. What Ning Que did won't affect me.”
The Eldest Brother pointed to the soldier who was kneeling in the rain and said, ”But it will affect Taoism. Otherwise they won't be so anxious to find you. Maybe you should hear what he has to say.”
Hearing this, the soldier lowered his head and his voice trembled heavily, sounding very pitiful. ”Please wait patiently.”
The Drunkard replied with sarcasm, ”No matter how many people Ning Que killed in Chang'an yesterday and no matter how many people he will kill in the future, I couldn't care less about those ordinary people. What's the point of waiting?”
The Eldest Brother said, ”Killing all of the Tang people is not the ending you want, and you are also waiting to be persuaded. My Youngest Brother just gives you an excuse.”
The Drunkard said, ”The excuse is too naive. Does he really think that he can stop the dispute in this way? Is he not afraid that the human world would fall into chaos?”
The Eldest Brother answered, ”Haotian would not want to rule not a cold and uninhabited world, for she would perish too. She would hate to see the world be destroyed.”
The Drunkard went angry and shouted, ”How dare he destroy the world? The Headmaster would kill him directly, not to mention Haotian! It's ridiculous!”
The Eldest Brother said, ”No one can change the decision my Youngest Brother made. Jun Mo and I couldn't talk him out of it, and Haotian couldn't affect him either. The Headmaster might be able to persuade him, but he can't come back yet. So who can stop my Youngest Brother if he really wants to destroy the world?”
At this point, the loud sound of hooves came from far away, even drowning the sound of the falling rain. Hundreds of cavalrymen from the Divine Halls were rushing to the Autumn Mountain from Linkang City and other directions.
The Eldest Brother looked at these anxious cavalrymen and said, ”The Abbey Dean knows what Ning Que plans to do, so he will definitely find a way to convince you.”
