Chapter 255(2/2)
Let's be realistic, kindness will slowly fade over time, but grief will always be engraved in the hearts of loved ones, and the gain outweighs the loss.
After confirming that the girl was still alive, Xuan Jian took off his outer robe, held the hilt of the sword with his right hand, drew the sword and retracted it in an instant, the sword light flashed in mid-air, and all the icicles restraining the girl broke.
The next moment, the girl's body fell forward. Xuanjian wrapped his robe around the girl's body and placed his right hand on her spine to convey his internal energy.
Carrying a young girl on his back was very easy for Xuan Jian and basically had no impact.
Xuanjian carried the girl while conveying his internal energy and wandered around the cave, and soon discovered a secret passage leading to the outside world.
After standing in the secret passage waiting for half a cup of tea, Tianze opened his eyes and stood up. He was in a good mood because he was freed from the shackles, so he spoke uncharacteristically and teased Xuanjian.
"How can a dignified first-class killer also have compassion?"
Xuan Jian said expressionlessly: "She is about the same age as my wife. If my wife knew that I didn't save her, she would definitely be angry."
Out of respect for Xuanjian's strength and status, Tianze didn't say anything when he heard this. He just nodded slightly, then took the lead to the secret passage and jumped down.
In fact, Tianze didn't mind it in his heart. After all, in the anime, killing fellow people was like eating and drinking water. After years of torture, his heart was quite twisted.
Compassion does not exist at all for Tianze, at least not at all now.
Xuan Jian jumped down after him, and the two of them turned around and saw two piles of bones in the secret passage. They could not see the end of the pile of bones...
Even though the two of them had countless lives in their hands, they couldn't help but feel a little shocked when they saw this scene.
"Bai Yifei is such a damned person!"
"It's true that he deserves to die, but...it's often the case these days that good people don't get rewarded, causing harm that will last for thousands of years."
In troubled times, in an era without rules and order, evil people, bad people, and people with no bottom line often live better lives than good people, good people, and people who stick to the bottom line.
Therefore, for ordinary people, a peaceful world is better than a troubled world no matter how bad it is. This is why it is better to be a peace dog than a person in troubled times.
For example, the Three Kingdoms sounds romantic and heroic, which makes people yearn for, but romantic heroism only belongs to powerful nobles, and the common people in Guizhou can only follow the trend and suffer endless ravages.
No matter how bad modern times are, they are still better than ancient times.
At least your personal safety will not be taken away easily, and the material conditions you enjoy may not be enjoyed by nobles and high-ranking officials in ancient times.
"Help me carry it first."
Xuanjian handed the girl to Tianze, and Tianze had no choice but to take it whether he wanted to or not.
Xuanjian jumped out of the secret passage and pulled out the two swords from his waist. After thinking for a while, he swung his swords and sent sword energy flying to all directions in the cave.
The roaring sound kept ringing, and after a few breaths, the entire cave began to tremble, and truths of different sizes kept falling down.
"Hurry up, this place is about to collapse."
Xuanjian took the girl, gave a reminder and drove away quickly, and Tianze quickly followed.
It didn't take long for the cave to collapse, and countless falling rocks blocked the two secret passages. It would take a lot of effort to reopen them.
After exiting the secret passage, Tianze and Xuanjian separated.
The next morning, Cheng Jian returned to the mansion refreshed. After receiving the news, Xuan Jian immediately went to report what happened last night.
After reporting the situation, Xuan Jian knelt down on one knee and said: "This subordinate has made his own decision, please ask the Marquis to punish him."
"Get up, as long as it doesn't affect business, what's the crime?"
"On the contrary, I feel a little relieved that you can do such a thing. It seems that your wife has a great influence on you."
Cheng Xi took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.
"Yes, Lord Marquis, Qianqian has a great influence on my subordinates. I have made them understand a lot of truths. I have done many wrong things in the past."
Xuanjian stood up and sat down where his finger pointed.
"When was it before?"
"When a subordinate becomes a big thief."
Hmm... Wei Qianqian was still very measured and did not involve the time Xuan Jian served the Qin State.
"Having a wife, does it affect your speed of drawing the sword?"
Why did the Marquis ask this?
Is there any necessary connection between the two?
"No."
"In order to protect mother and son, and to make life better for mother and son, I thought I drew my sword faster."
It seems that women do not always affect the speed of drawing the sword. It mainly depends on the individual's mentality.
By always maintaining this mentality, Xuanjian's strength will not only not decline, but he will also very likely be able to reach the realm of swordsmanship master.
"How is the girl doing?"
"After treatment by the organization's doctors, my life has been saved, but my vitality has been severely damaged and it will take a long time to recover."
"Then wait until she recovers to a certain extent and send her to your home."
"ah?"
Xuanjian was dumbfounded when he heard this. What would his wife think if this was sent to his home?
Besides, he didn't have any wrong thoughts. In this life, he just wanted to live with Qianqian as one woman.
As soon as he thought about it, Xuanjian didn't care that the person in front of him was the person he respected the most, and argued with reason: "Master Hou, this can't be done."
"Why not? Are you worried about family disharmony?"
"Where do you want to go?"
"Are I the one who messes up the mandarin duck book?"
"It's not like you want her to be your concubine, you can ask her to serve your wife or recognize her as your sister."
"Anyway, if you save someone else, you must give her a place to stay. Otherwise, how can she survive in this troubled world?" Cheng Xi glared at Xuan Jian angrily.
"Then...then send her home." Xuan Jian stammered.
"Have you ever thought about the consequences of being sent home?"
It is estimated that it will be very difficult for Cheng Yu. Not surprisingly, all the girls Madam Mingzhu collected for Bai Yifei have been eliminated.
Unless the girl can remember the location of her home, she probably won't end well if she is sent back. After all, her family should have received the news of her unfortunate death.
Now that he has come back from the dead, once Bai Yifei gets the news, he will probably kill someone and silence him.
Not only is she going to die, but her family is going to die, and even everyone who has seen her is going to die.
In the eyes of Hou Bai Yifei, a pure and traditional feudal aristocrat in blood, human life is as trivial and not worth mentioning.
Xuan Jian was not ignorant of world affairs, and he quickly thought of the consequences.
"The Marquis has great foresight and is respected by his subordinates."
"Then let's place him in the subordinate's home first, and let her make her own decision later."
Cheng Yu nodded slightly: "Inform Tianze and ask him to do something as soon as possible. It's too deserted and I'm not used to it."
The meaning of life is to do things, keep doing things, the shackles are gone, the beast is out of the cage, not doing things is simply a waste of time...
