Join the Great Wall Guard

Chapter 81

"You seem very unhappy, do you want Ah Li to dance for you?"

Sitting on the long stone steps in a daze, the girl's dexterous and joyful voice came from beside her.

"A Li, why are you here?"

Lu Yu raised his head, just in time to see that gentle and pleasant smile, and his spiritual eyes as clear as autumn water, staring at him.

"Why, can't I come to you?"

With a bit of reproach, Gongsunli was a little dissatisfied with Lu Yu's way of meeting and greeting each other.

However, following the steps, Gongsunli sat beside Lu Yu, with the paper umbrella gently placed aside, and his hands resting naturally on his knees.

"What are you thinking about?"

Looking closer, Gongsunli looked at Lu Yu's pensive face curiously.

I don't know why, every time I see Lu Yu's pupils with a little bit of sadness and melancholy, it always resonates with Ah Li.

Is it because I rejected myself before, which made me remember deeply, or because I helped myself twice, which made me hard to let go?

In short, I don't want to see him in trouble, that's what Ah Li said to himself.

Looking at Gongsunli's caring eyes, Lu Yu was tangled in his heart, and said slowly: "A Li, what do you think is justice?"

For Di Renjie, there is only absolute justice in the world, and that is strict laws.

And it was exactly the opposite of Di Renjie's belief, that is, the secret justice hidden in the dark, Lu Yu wanted to hear Gongsunli's opinion.

"justice"

Because of thinking, Gongsunli put his index finger on his mouth, and Gongsunli slightly pursed his red lips.

"Let those who have no clothes in cold weather have clothes to wear, let those who are hungry have food to fill their stomachs, and let those who cry no longer be sad"

"There is also the punishment of evil and the promotion of good, and finding out those moths hidden in the dark. Are these all justice?"

"Haruku, what do you think?"

Feeling that there was nothing wrong with his answer, Gongsunli asked with a smile.

"exactly."

Lu Yu nodded with a smile.

Indeed, from Gongsunli's point of view, this kind of justice is indeed more reasonable, and it is a bit more humane than the justice of the supremacy of law.

just

"If what I'm after is told that it's wrong one day, how much it will collapse."

As an outsider, Lu Yu couldn't criticize the "justice" in Di Renjie's or Gongsunli's heart.

Because strictly speaking, despite their conflicting ideas, they are actually not wrong.

However, what Li Bai said made him fall into deep thinking.

You shouldn't care about what other people think, but you should find your own answers.

What is the justice I am pursuing?

"Haneri, why are you asking this question all of a sudden?"

Seeing that the pensiveness on Lu Yu's face was not relieved by his answer, Gongsunli gently probed and asked carefully.

"nothing"

The smile on the corner of Lu Yu's mouth was a little forced.

"Just a whim."

"Hmph, forget about it."

There was a sound of air flow from his nose, and Gongsunli stood up from the steps.

"Oh, it's raining."

When he raised his head, he found that the sky had become gray and the air was so dull that it was suffocating.

In the same way, it also makes people feel more inexplicable sadness.

The drizzle like rice grains dripped down and hit the long stone steps, making a crisp sound.

"Haneri, will you come with me?"

Gongsunli picked up the paper umbrella on the steps. The paper umbrella bloomed like a peony, and she offered an invitation.

"No, I can go by myself later."

With a wry smile, Lu Yu rejected Gongsunli's invitation.

It's not that he doesn't care about the dexterous girl at all, but that Lu Yu is thinking hard at this moment.

"Hane Riku, you remind me of someone. You are like him, like a piece of wood, which makes people feel very alienated."

"Who?"

Being called wood for the first time, the corners of Lu Yu's mouth twitched.

However, Gongsunli's voice sounded a bit resentful.

"I won't tell you, slightly~"

He made a cute face towards Lu Yu, but he didn't see any special expression on Gongsunli's face, it was still that clever smile.

"I'm leaving first, remember to miss me."

The light footsteps seemed to be dancing, and Gongsunli disappeared in the rain after a few strokes.

""

Looking at Gongsunli's disappearing back, I felt a little inexplicably uncomfortable in my heart, as if something was alienated.

Sure enough, as long as it is raining, my mood will be extremely bad.

He didn't see the girl who had gone far away, and cast his eyes on the stone steps where he was. Lu Yu had already got up and walked alone in the misty rain.

"Hey, have you heard? There are demons entering Chang'an!"

"What?! The devil seed has sneaked into Chang'an?! It's over, we will be eaten by the devil seed!"

The pattering rain was still falling, and Chang'an City was also covered by an astonishing news.

I don't know who said that some demons broke through the defense line of the Great Wall and sneaked into Chang'an City.

In normal times, such unfounded news would not cause any waves.

But only this time, the news turned into misty rain all over the city and reached the ears of almost everyone.

The office of Chang'an Sheriff Di Renjie was already crowded with citizens calling for help, and more than one person even said that he had seen that vicious demon seed.

"Yuan Fang, what do you think about this matter?"

"Unfounded rumors, those people are all insisting on their own words, and they have no real convincing power."

However, although Di Renjie understands that this may be a rumor, where did the rumor come from, and why did it cause panic in Chang'an?

No, even if it was a rumor, he, Di Renjie, would definitely expose it himself.

He is the magistrate of Chang'an. If the existence of the demon seed is real, then he is also obliged to destroy the demon seed.

"Lord Di!"

Just as Di Renjie was about to set off, a powerful yet light voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Wan'er, why are you here?"

The woman in front of her was wearing neutral and handsome trousers with flowing long sleeves, looking confident and chic.

The straight sword eyebrows and the upturned corners of the mouth don't look like a feminine girl, but give people a heroic feeling.

And the writing brush in the woman's hand is her symbolic weapon——

"Lord Di, Ming Shiyin has given advice to the Empress."

Shangguan Wan'er frowned, as if she had something important to say.

"What did he admonish?"

"There are demon species invading Chang'an, be sure to kill them!"

Outside, the rain is still pattering, witnessing everything that is about to happen.
