Arknights is too real, right?

understood.

What Yi Nanxue said was not some obscure truth, but an eight-character mantra that even elementary school students could understand.

Be aware of yourself and act within your capabilities.

Of course, his power is not weak, and if he is willing to risk it, he will most likely be able to influence the direction of this war.

When the war begins, no party is the winner. As long as you are in the war, the road ahead will be full of unknowns.

What Yi Nanxue really wanted him to understand was whether he was ready to face the unknown, and to think straight about the reasons for being in the unknown.

Do you want to intervene just because you don't like it? Yes, this is ridiculous.

There are too many unfair things in the world, or in other words, the reason why you think it is unfair is just because you refer to the "fairness" in your heart.

Dongguo's closed system and backward national conditions have long been eliminated by the world. Throughout history, war may be just a turning point that changes Dongguo.

A few years from now, decades from now, no one may remember the Nishimiya family, no one may remember the Sakurawu family, and no one may remember the deformed three-legged power of the East Kingdom.

The explosive rise of Originium technology will completely change this remote island nation.

evening.

Xia Feng has been sitting in the room arranged for him by Nishinomiya's family in a daze.

Because there was a helicopter, he didn't rush home. Of course, he didn't know why he wanted to stay here.

I didn't want to get up, think, or even open my only left eye.

Unconsciously, it was completely dark outside, and the mansion, which had been noisy all afternoon, became quiet.

Obviously, all the guests, including Yi Nanxue and Lin Hong, achieved their goals and left.

Xi Gong Ling did not come to see him again. If you think about it from his perspective, as the head of the family, Xi Gong Ling must be surrounded by deep despair and self-blame.

Maybe he was just like him at the moment, staying alone in a dark room.

"Creak~"

The door was pushed open, and Hong Dao stood at the door with an expressionless face, speaking to Xia Feng inside.

"Xia Feng, it's time for us to go home."

Xia Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, go home."

After walking out of the room and closing the door, Xia Feng walked slowly through the Nishimiya family's mansion.

The war on the front line is tense now, and the generals have rushed to the border. Perhaps they feel the oppressive atmosphere, and the servants have not come out to move around. The whole mansion is a little lifeless.

After walking a few steps, Xia Feng suddenly heard a faint sound of sobbing.

The sound was very weak, but in the silent night, he still captured it.

Looking across the stone mountain in the courtyard, he saw a thin figure standing by the wall next to the garden.

"Hongdao, go ahead and wait for me on the helicopter."

"you"

"I'll follow soon."

"All right."

After Hong Dao left, Xia Feng walked towards the person in the shadow without any precautions. The reason why he was unprepared was because he had already noticed who that person was.

This person was Nishimiya Hikoshi, who had gone to the south coast several times to ask for help.

Xia Feng did not hide the sound of his footsteps on purpose. He walked to the wall step by step and stood next to the sobbing Nishimiya Hikoshi.

"Mr. Yanshi."

Nishimiya Yanshi raised his head and wiped the tears from his face.

Although he was already very old, he could only hide and cry by himself. To be honest, this behavior seemed very desolate to Xia Feng.

Seeing that the person in front of him was Xia Feng, Nishimiya Yanshi immediately handed over his hand.

"Your Excellency Xia Feng, it turns out you haven't left yet."

Xia Feng sighed.

"Mr. Yanshi, we are old acquaintances, so there is no need to be so polite to me. I was planning to go back, and I saw you when I passed by by chance. What are you..."

Nishimiya Yanshi wiped his face again and forced out a wry smile.

"I'm sorry, I'm a worthless old thing, but I made you laugh."

"I didn't think it was a joke and I couldn't laugh."

Seeing Xia Feng's expression and hearing these sincere words, Nishimiya Hikoshi's lips trembled again.

Recalling everything that happened in the reception room during the day, Xia Feng was undoubtedly the only one among the guests present who regarded the Nishimiya family as "people".

"Your Excellency Xia Feng."

"There is no shame in crying. I will cry when I encounter irreversible despair, just like when I lost my most important brother."

Nishimiya Hikoshi lowered his head and his shoulders trembled.

Then, the whole person burst into tears.

The night wind is very cold and the clouds cover the moon.

In the night, after crying, Nishimiya Yanshi and Xia Feng talked a lot.

Different from the previous time in the courtyard of Yingwulin, this time, Xia Feng listened very seriously.

At the end, Nishimiya Yanshi let out a sigh of relief.

"Hey, it's all my fault that this old guy is useless. The head of the Ling family is still young and can't deal with those business tycoons who eat people without spitting out their bones. If the front line finds out about this result, I'm afraid it will chill General Long Ping's heart. "

Suddenly hearing an unfamiliar name, Xia Feng asked softly.

"General Long Ping?"

Obviously, this is a person that Nishimiya Hikoshi is in awe of.

"General Long Ping is nearly 60 years old. He is the backbone of my Nishinomiya family in the military and can be regarded as a direct descendant of the family. Ha, it is ironic to say that after experiencing the kind of thing many years ago, General Long Ping can obviously stay out of it. , let it go, but after him, no one can take up the leading role in the army."

Speaking of this, Nishimiya Hikoshi's expression revealed a sadness that could not be concealed.

"The intention was to resolve civil strife, but he became the target of public criticism because of his outstanding ability. He lost his wife and children, but he still had to fight on the battlefield for his family. If General Long Ping on the front line knew the outcome of today's meeting, I don't know how his heart would be twisted."

After hearing this General Long Ping who seemed to have a lot of stories, Xia Feng was also slightly curious.

Of course, he wasn't too curious, but he felt that Nishimiya Hikoshi wanted to express the words he was holding in his heart.

Especially before the past events of the Nishimiya family are about to be eaten away by external exploitation.

Xia Feng asked aloud.

"Mr. Yanshi, what has this General Long Ping experienced?"

Nishimiya Hikoshi made a very lonely recollection.

"General Longping"

Then, he spoke leisurely as if to answer Xia Feng's question, but also as if he was deep in self-recollection.

Ryuhei Nishimiya, the talented general of the Nishinomiya family, is a man of justice and loves his soldiers as his own son.

In fact, based on seniority, Nishimiya Ryuhei should be considered Nishinomiya Ling's uncle.

Nishimiya Ling and his son were born in the same year. Since childhood, Nishimiya Ryuhei has loved his nephew very much and regarded him as his own.

Unfortunately, things are unpredictable and people's hearts are unpredictable.

Twenty years ago, the old head of the Nishinomiya family died suddenly of illness. At that time, it was an important time for the Nishinomiya family and Longmen to start their trade relations.

At that time, all members of the family knew very well that as long as the trade interaction with Longmen went on the right track, the Nishinomiya family would definitely rise and become the first family in the East, overpowering the Sakurabu family and the Kamino family.

Because of this, people's desire for power has quietly surpassed family affection.

The third watch beast.
