Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

Xie Zhan was the first to arrive at the pavilion on the high platform. He looked down at Lu Songli who was approaching slowly.

This was the first time the two met again three years after they parted in Qingzhou.

After she came up, Xie Zhan said, "Lv Songli, you are here. You are really courageous."

Lu Songli smiled slightly, "No venture, no gain. If I don't come, wouldn't it be a waste of all your arrangements?" You can lose anything but not your momentum.

Xie Zhan smiled and asked, "Aren't you afraid that Fuling will become your burial place?"

"I am afraid, but people have their own ways and their own ways. Besides, we have a lot of talented people in Pingzhou, and the four brothers of the Qin family are not mediocre. There are many people who can take over my place!" After saying that, Lu Songli changed the subject and asked him, "I wonder if there is anyone in the Xie family who can take over your position as the Grand Commander?"

Lu Songli always believes in one sentence: When two brave men meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins.

Xie Zhan wanted to use words to probe into her inner thoughts, so she just answered with some half-truths.

Make the virtual appear real, and make the real appear virtual; make it difficult for the enemy to distinguish between the virtual and the real.

Xie Zhan paused.

After a verbal exchange, Lu Songli asked directly, "Where is Qin Sheng?"

Xie Zhan asked her back, "You only ask about Qin Sheng? Don't you care about the safety of the 300,000 people in Fengdu, Fuling?"

"You won't do it." Lu Songli said with certainty, "Of course, if you are not afraid, go ahead and do it, if you are not afraid of the extinction of the Xie family."

Xie Zhan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Do you think I care?"

Lu Songli was quickly analyzing in her mind, is Xie Zhan trying to trick her, or does he really not care about the Xie family anymore?

She shook her head and said, "What a pity! After you, the clan leader, came to power, your Xie clan has suffered a lot because of you. In the end, your entire clan may even die because of you."

"Lv Songli, I have already sent someone to bring Qin Sheng here. As for the rest, you don't need to use words to test my attitude."

In fact, Xie Zhan didn't care anymore. Before he was exiled, he always put his family first and wanted his family to last forever.

However, after realizing that Lu Songli was plotting to rule the world, he changed his mentality from that of a counselor to that of a monarch.

Everything he did later was to get results, prove that his path was right, and then pass on his spirit. Now it is obvious that his path is not feasible.

"You and I are both rare smart people in the world. We both know that now the world's situation is all in Pingzhou. I want to know why I lost? Where did I lose?" Xie Zhan looked at Lu Songli and asked the doubts buried in his heart.

Sometimes Xie Zhan didn't understand. He devoted himself to his career and career, and cut off all emotions and love. He worked so hard, why couldn't he succeed? He was not like others who wanted everything and wanted to take everything into consideration, including love, family, friendship...

Also, sometimes the policies he formulated were indeed beneficial to the country and the people, but why did he fail to get the desired result despite his efforts to implement them against all odds?

Out of the corner of her eye, Lu Songli caught a glimpse of the gesture made by the person arranged by Qin Heng, which meant that she should delay the time as much as possible.

Seeing this gesture, Lu Songli decided to chat with him.

"The reason you lose is because you don't have love in your heart."

"What you call benevolence to the people is just your way of deceiving the people by saying that you want to build a world where there are no corrupt officials, no local tyrants, no gambling, no prostitution, no forced marriage, and no beggars?" Xie Zhan asked.

"These are just some judgments that can be standardized. Pingzhou is committed to building a civilized society, so that the weak will not be afraid, the strong will not be arrogant, the powerful will not be arrogant, the society will be fairer, the evil will be afraid of doing evil, and the good will be safe."

"What you promised is impossible to achieve. You are just deceiving those fools."

“But the people believe it.”

Xie Zhan was choked by Lu Songli's words.

She thought to herself, this is the style of Yan'an. Just because you can't achieve it doesn't mean others can't achieve it. Of course, she may not be able to achieve it either.

At this time, Lu Songli gave him another blow, "And the life you described to the common people is predictable at a glance, and it is what the previous emperors have promised. There is nothing new and unattractive."

"Do you know why you lost? You have no love in your heart. You only focus on the results, but you don't notice how many people suffer and feel uncomfortable when your strategy for governing the country is being implemented in a big way."

Xie Zhan said, "The Dali kingdom has been passed down for seven or eight generations, and there are some rotten parts. I think that the rotten parts should be abandoned, and the intact parts should be preserved, and the resources of the rotten areas should be tilted towards the intact areas. Is there anything wrong with this?"

"From your perspective, it's quite right. But who is willing to be abandoned by others?" Lu Songli asked him, "As the saying goes, good news doesn't go out, but bad news travels a thousand miles. You have hurt the people, so they don't believe you."

Xie Zhan's expression froze. Was it his fault that he couldn't speak?

"In fact, the biggest problem of the Dali court is that it is imprisoned by the idea of ​​imperial power."

“The truth is not discussed, so real solutions cannot be formed.”

"You need to discuss openly and build consensus, face difficulties, reveal the real situation, and choose a rational path. Solve the root causes and provide fundamental impetus to people's livelihood and economy." Only in this way can the people live a good life.

"Everything you do is like adding fuel to a fire. It will accelerate the degradation of the economy and people's livelihood in other places and aggravate the problems in Dali. But you don't know that the thing that is lying on top and sucking blood is the root cause of the local decay."

After Lu Songli finished speaking, he kept silent.

Lu Songli's three sentences directly pointed out the problems of the Dali court, and also let Xie Zhan know where he failed.

Xie Zhan lowered his head and thought deeply for a while before speaking, "You really have the ability to bring life and death to the local people's livelihood and economy. I am far inferior to you."

Lu Songli said that they have different views on local governance and ruling lines.

She told him so much, and she was also trying to delay time as much as possible. Although she was very sure that Xie Zhan would not let the explosives explode, what if? She needed to take full control of the situation.

Xie Zhan looked at her. It seemed that ever since they decided to cancel the engagement, the two of them had been on guard against and calculating against each other.

He knew she was stalling for time, and so was he.

And he didn't care. He felt it was a good thing that Lu Songli solved his doubts. As the saying goes, if one hears the truth in the morning, one can die in the evening.

At this time, Xie Zhan didn't know that their conversation was read out through a telescope by Chen Yue, who could lip-read, and recorded by the historian of Pingzhou.

At this time, Qin Heng came to report in person, "General, hold on a little longer, and we will be able to dispose of the explosives buried by Dali."

Qin Heng asked, "How long will it take?"

"Two quarters of an hour! At least two quarters of an hour."

Qin Heng looked towards Luming Terrace, unable to hide his worry.

At this moment, the sound of galloping horses came from far away.

All the soldiers looked towards the source of the voice, and the elite soldiers holding binoculars had already seen the face of the person coming.

"General, it's Master Liu!"

"Sixth Master is here!"

"General, do you want to stop him?" asked Zhou Da on the side.

If we just let Sixth Master break in, something terrible will happen.

Qin Heng only stared and thought for a moment, then looked at the two people on the Luming Terrace. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't stop him. Let the archer get ready."

"Yes!"

Qin Sheng rode his horse, hurrying as fast as he could, and finally arrived.

At this time, his body was covered in blood.

The neighing of the horse attracted the attention of Lu Songli and Xie Zhan.

As soon as he appeared, several sharp arrows from Dali shot towards his vital points. At the same time, the Pingzhou army also shot several sharp arrows from their garrison, almost immediately colliding with Dali's arrows or breaking them in half.

The archers from Dali and Pingzhou both took action, and it was obvious that the Pingzhou side had a slight advantage, and as a result, Qin Sheng was unharmed.

Qin Sheng ignored everything around him and stared at Lu Songli and Xie Zhan on the Luming Stage.

Xie Zhan was not surprised by his appearance.

Lu Songli stared at Qin Sheng intently.

"Lü Songli, he is not as good as me--" Qin Sheng still looks like a boy who has never grown up, very naive.

"If there is an afterlife—" Is there an afterlife? They were engaged before.

Xie Zhan did not ask this question.

He was interrupted by Lu Songli, "There is no afterlife!"

Xie Zhan looked at her deeply but didn't ask why.

Lu Songli understood, but she didn't say anything.

At this moment, the arrow shot at Qin Sheng had just been shot down, and Xie Zhan said, "Qin Sheng, you're here?"

"Qin Sheng, if you don't want Lu Songli to die, just listen to me--" Xie Zhan stretched out his hand and aimed the quiver at Lu Songli.

"Are you sure you want to talk like this?" Lu Songli asked him back.

Only then did Xie Zhan realize that Lu Songli was holding a strange-looking thing in his right hand.

This is a shotgun.

Lu Songli put her index finger on the trigger and pointed it at him, "Which do you think is faster, your rifle or the musket in my hand?"

Firearm? Xie Zhan smiled, "It doesn't matter. I invited you here without thinking that I could survive. But I'm lucky to have you as a scapegoat."

madman!

The moment the two men drew their weapons, the people around them, whether from Dali or Pingzhou, were all nervous.

"How long will it take?" Qin Heng asked.

"General, it will take a while!"

At this time, Qin Sheng said, "Wait, Xie Zhan, what do you want me to do?"

Xie Zhan: "Suicide!"

Lu Songli's philosophy of governing the country is better than his.

There cannot be two voices in one force.

Lu Songli, if you don’t make a choice, I will make the choice for you.

Qin Sheng: "Okay. I'll kill myself, and you don't hurt her."

Lu Songli: “No!”

"Lili, take care of yourself." Qin Sheng looked at her lingeringly and was about to raise the knife.

Xie Zhan estimated the distance, one, two, three!

Lu Songli gritted her teeth and pulled the trigger.

boom!

At the same time, Xie Zhan also took action, shooting countless arrows at Lu Songli.

To be honest, Xie Zhan was surprised when Lu Songli took action in advance for Qin Sheng.

From the moment the explosives he had obtained with great difficulty were suppressed, he knew he had lost.

The conversation between him and Lu Songli just now made him decide to take Qin Sheng with him before he died.

He spent his whole life fighting for his family and to realize his ambitions. He gave up a lot of things, and finally even gave up himself. His ideals died in comparison with Lu Songli's ideals, so he made such a decision.

Xie Zhan felt that in essence, Lu Songli was the same person as him. Always love yourself, love someone, and never love more than yourself. He didn't expect——

The two were very close to each other, and before Lu Songli could react, she was hugged by someone, and all the arrows penetrated into Qin Sheng's back.

Lu Songli stretched out her hand, hugged his waist and supported him, "Asheng, hold on!" Then, she flipped her hand, took out a hemostatic pill and fed it to him.

At this time, a mountain torrent broke out, and the rumbling sound of water rushed towards where they were. However, whether it was Lu Songli, Xie Zhan or Qin Sheng, they all turned a deaf ear to it.

Qin Heng was worried that Dali might see the situation and ignite the gunpowder.

And it was just as he thought, among the people Xie Zhan arranged to start the fire was someone bribed by the Empress Dowager. Seeing that the situation was not right, the other party wanted to start the fire, but after the fire was lit, nothing happened.

"Cough cough——" Xie Zhan was shot and blood flowed out of his mouth and nose.

The mountain torrents were still controllable due to human intervention, and did not flood Lumingtai when it poured down.

Xie Zhan and her people were rushing towards Lumingtai.

While waiting for rescue, Lu Songli let Qin Sheng lean on her. She lowered her eyes to look at Qin Sheng, then said lightly, "Xie Zhan, didn't you want to ask why just now?"

"Ah."

Both parties knew what she was referring to.

"I can tell you that between you and him, I will always choose him."

Why? Xie Zhan asked silently.

"It's all just because it's suitable. With him, I can trust my back to him without worry. He won't let me lose. If I lose, it must be because he is dead and gone."

She is his lover, his faith.

At this time Xie Zhan smiled. In fact, he could do it too.

Lu Songli understood, but shook her head, "Do you know what the biggest difference between you two is?"

"You go ahead." Xie Zhan said he was all ears.

Lu Songli said, "The sign of an immature man is that he is willing to die heroically for a cause, to live towards death, like him."

"The sign of a mature man is that he is willing to live humbly for a cause, like you."

“In this life, we must always live for something invisible, for something beyond our limitations.”

"Have you ever heard of this saying? There is always a little wind in the world to fill my hundreds of thousands of dreams."

She is too used to weighing the pros and cons, and another one like this won't do.

Upon hearing this, Xie Zhan first smiled, then burst into laughter, laughing until tears came out.

"There is always a little bit of wind in the world to fill my hundreds of thousands of dreams. This sentence is really well said."

When Xie Zhan stopped laughing, he fell into the rolling mountain torrent behind him with a smile on his face.

The Dali soldiers who were rushing over here were horrified when they saw this scene.

"Regent!"

Only Lu Songli, holding Qin Sheng with one hand, watched the scene indifferently.
