"Master, you can't say this. If A Liu hears this, I'll be finished." Xue Wei's face was full of panic, and even his voice was trembling.
If someone else had said this, he would have definitely given him a good beating, but the man in front of him was his master, so he didn't dare to overstep the line.
But if it were someone else, these words probably wouldn't reach the ears of my husband. Even if they did, he could always be coaxed into giving a slanderous word.
But the person who spoke was not only his master, but also his wife's master, and the master his wife trusted and respected the most. If this got to his wife's ears, he would be completely finished.
"Hey~ I'm just guessing, why are you so nervous? Are you guilty?" Xu Tianze raised his eyebrows with a wicked smile on his face.
He was still a little skeptical at first, but when he saw how timid Xue Wei was, he knew that Xue Wei did not have the courage to do such a thing to let Yin Liu down.
But this did not prevent Xu Tianze from using it to tease Xue Wei, asking him to always interfere when he was making decisions.
"Master, you are joking. Each of us is responsible for our own actions. You don't have to implicate Brother Xue." The young man interrupted Xu Tianze, picked up his sword on the ground and put it around his neck.
"cut."
Xu Tianze sneered and looked at the ignorant boy. He suddenly changed his mind. He wanted to see how long this boy would continue to be stubborn.
"The reason you're claiming to be heroic is simply because you didn't cause any significant damage, so you're insisting that what you did was right."
"Look back at these refugees. Which one of them isn't staring at us with eager eyes? And the reason this situation has come about is because of your so-called kindness."
The young man turned his head and saw the refugees around him. Those refugees looked at them as if they were looking at a piece of fat meat, with uncontrollable greed and desire in their eyes, but because of their master's behavior, there was a hint of fear in their eyes.
But no matter how terrified they were, the refugees did not disperse. They still surrounded the carriage, just moving a little distance away.
The boy naturally knew what their actions meant.
When Xu Tianze saw the young man looking at the refugees, he also looked in his direction.
The most unpredictable thing in troubled times is the human heart. You think you are just kind-hearted, but in the end, who can judge whether the so-called kindness will eventually lead to evil, just like it is now.
"Who did you give the steamed buns to?" Xu Tianze asked softly.
He also wanted to see what kind of person could make the guards who had received formal and rigorous training finally disobey orders and show kindness? Was it an old man, a child, or a dying woman?
The young man didn't say anything, but looked around again and again. When he didn't see the little guy, his heart skipped a beat. He suddenly guessed something and rushed out.
"Stop! Don't forget your responsibilities!" Xue Wei stopped the young man, with a look of disappointment in his eyes.
"Let him go. Disloyalty once is a recipe for disaster a hundred times. You can disobey orders this time, but you can stab him next time." Xu Tianze kicked Xue Wei away, his eyes filled with indifference. "Since he's going to die anyway, he might as well die knowingly."
"Master... yes." Seeing that his master was serious, Xue Wei's words rolled around in his throat and became just the last word.
Seeing that Xue Wei no longer tried to stop him, the young man rushed out directly. Perhaps it was because his red eyes were particularly scary, or perhaps it was because the blood-dripping knife in his hand had an excellent deterrent effect, the refugees around him automatically made way.
Xue Wei received a signal from Xu Tianze and personally drove the carriage with other guards, heading towards the location where the young man rushed towards.
The surrounding refugees became a little agitated when they saw this, but the guards wielded their knives mercilessly, making them extremely fearful and afraid to move forward.
When Xu Tianze and others saw the young man, he was kneeling on the ground alone, holding a pale and skinny little girl in his arms. The little girl was bruised all over, with blood in her mouth and nose, and she seemed to be dead.
Everyone was silent when they saw this scene, except Xu Tianze who sighed. He had encountered refugees before, and it was because of his kindness that he ended up killing a pregnant woman. So since then, he never dared to show kindness casually again.
Because you have no way of judging whether your kindness is a blessing or a disaster for others.
Even though the pregnant woman never blamed him until her death and was only grateful to him, his kindness ended up resulting in two deaths. This incident has become a knot in his heart.
"It only takes a single thought to distinguish good from evil. You know that your goodness may not be her goodness." Xu Tianze shook his head and didn't look at the boy again.
"Let's go."
After saying that, Xu Tianze turned around and went back into the carriage. Xue Wei looked at the young man, and finally just gave him a deep look, and then left with everyone.
Everything around is flowing, except this small corner which seems to be still. A little boy is holding a little girl in his arms. The silence is deafening, resisting this troubled world.
Xu Tianze sat in the carriage, as if nothing had happened just now, but Xichen and Jiang Ti were unusually silent, but Xu Tianze did not say much.
There are some things that are useless even if others say them a thousand times, but if you encounter them yourself, just once is enough.
Northwest, Zhenshan Pass.
"I didn't expect Brother Xu to come so early." The prince stood at the gate of Zhenshan Pass and gave Xu Tianze a hug as soon as he came up.
At first, when the prince received the news that Xu Tianze was coming, he was a little uncertain, but when he saw the real person, the prince became curious.
You know, the original plan was for Xu Tianze to help Long Musi make a fortune, and then tell Long Musi the truth when they met in Shangjing City. So logically speaking, Xu Tianze should have stayed with Long Musi before Xiaoliu took over Cangjie Kingdom and Lanming Kingdom.
"After all, the New Year has passed. Prince, do you want me to stay on the road for a while and come back at the end of summer?" Xu Tianze also joked with a smile.
The journey from Zhoushan City in the south of the Yangtze River to Zhenshan Pass in the northwest took at least half a year. They traveled by land and water, day and night, and finally arrived here in late spring and early summer.
"How can that be? I'm really looking forward to Brother Xu coming so that I can welcome him. Please come in." The prince turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation to Xu Tianze.
"Tsk tsk, I really don't know when the prince became so polite." Xu Tianze crossed his arms and shook his head, then took the first step forward.
He noticed from the corner of his eye that the prince had no expression on his face, so he took the lead and walked forward. As for the dissatisfied looks of the people around the prince, he simply ignored them.
