He was silent for a moment, then said, "You and Zhao Gang are the same kind of people at heart. You have principles and stick to your guns..."
"Although your personalities complement each other in some aspects, you both have the same stubborn temper, which makes you never give in when faced with a matter of principle."
"Even to the point of dying to prove his integrity!"
After hearing Su Luo's words, Li Yunlong's heart skipped a beat, but he felt that it was unlikely.
He smiled casually and said, "We can't commit suicide, right?"
Su Luo nodded.
"Really?" Li Yunlong was surprised.
Seeing Su Luo nod again, he said in disbelief: "Why?"
He thought that he might die at the hands of the Japanese devils, or even be defeated by the national army.
But the idea of suicide seemed unreal to him.
How big of a mistake would I have to make to commit suicide?
And Zhao Gang too, how could such a refined scholar fall to the same level as himself? Su Luo drank a sip of tea and then slowly told the general situation.
“That’s basically the situation.”
"A grain of sand from the era becomes a mountain on a person's head."
He looked at the silent Li Yunlong with a flat tone.
Unexpectedly, Li Yunlong did not jump up and down and curse, but instead remained surprisingly silent.
After a long while, he finally asked, "If I come, will it be different?"
However, this time his words lacked the previous high spirits and vigor, and instead revealed a kind of loneliness that was difficult to conceal.
Su Luo smiled: "Isn't this obvious?"
Li Yunlong naturally understood the meaning of Su Luo's words.
He had talked to Ying Zheng earlier. This emperor had growing ambitions and tried to conquer the world and then go into the starry sky.
Compared with this, my own ideals are simply insignificant.
His mood eased a little.
He touched his pocket and then remembered that it was not suitable to smoke in the tavern, so he let go of his hand and asked several of his generals.
After learning that several battalion commanders and cavalry company commanders were killed in the battle, Li Yunlong sighed.
"These guys are so lucky!"
Xiao Longnu, who was standing next to Su Luo, looked at him puzzledly, not quite understanding.
She had never experienced such a situation and could not understand Li Yunlong's feelings.
Instead, Tony, who was standing not far away, responded with a sympathetic look.
Li Yunlong didn't stay long.
After chatting with Su Luo for a while, he smiled again, said hello to a few people, and turned away as if he was relaxed.
But Su Luo could clearly feel that his back was bent a little and his back looked much more lonely.
…
The next day.
Li Yunlong appeared in the tavern early in the morning.
Compared with the previous day, he looked normal. He came up and greeted Su Luo with a smile, and seemed to have adjusted himself.
He didn't sleep all night, but he did figure it out.
Why should I think so much about the future now?
But it is impossible to say that it has no impact on him at all.
He was originally still struggling with whether or not to report the incident at the tavern and hand in the spaceship, but now he has given up the idea.
He had no masochistic tendencies, and Su Luo's words made him realize that others might not do better.
Of course, his original intention has not changed.
The Japanese still have to be fought, and the warlords and local tyrants still have to be eliminated, but his thinking is no longer the same as before.
He plans to rely on himself and those true comrades.
As for the end of the war and peace in the world, we should retreat while the tide is turning.
Maybe it wouldn't be bad to be an advisor to someone like Ying Zheng in a tavern in the future?
It would be even better if there was a chance to go to other worlds and fight freely.
And the starry sky...
"Old Zhao is really insightful. People should read more books."
"We can find a way to get him to join us later..."
Just as Li Yunlong was thinking about this and feeling a little awkward, he suddenly saw Ying Zheng enter the tavern.
"Brother Yunlong is here!" Ying Zheng said enthusiastically.
"Brother Zheng!" Li Yunlong also laughed.
The two of them greeted each other warmly. After chatting for a while, Ying Zheng couldn't help but get to the point and asked, "Brother Yunlong, have you thought it through?"
Ying Yinman left late last night and told him what happened in the tavern.
Although he sympathized with Li Yunlong's situation, he was unexpectedly surprised.
It happened that Yan Chixia entered the tavern carrying a wine gourd. Hearing the two people talking, he nodded in a friendly manner.
He spent last night in Lanruo Temple.
He originally wanted to buy some wine from the tavern to fill his wine gourd, and then go out for a while to look for the monster he had lost a few days ago.
He temporarily gave up the idea of the spaceship.
It is obvious that this plain-looking officer is more interested in weapons that can kill enemies on the battlefield rather than his own extraordinary strength.
Just as Yan Chixia was secretly regretting and walked to the bar to buy some wine, he suddenly heard Li Yunlong's voice.
"I thought about it all night, but I still couldn't bear to sell it."
Seeing the disappointment on Ying Zheng's face, Li Yunlong said, "Besides, the price of the spacecraft is not easy to calculate, right?"
price?
Yan Chixia couldn't help but look back, feeling a little confused.
Ying Zheng laughed secretly in his heart.
"This guy has really changed his mind. He wants to take this opportunity to ask for more money."
He smiled and said, "Money matters are easy to talk about..."
"It's hard to say." Li Yunlong interrupted.
Ying Zheng frowned in confusion.
Li Yunlong pointed to the sky and said, "Do you know what's in the sky?"
"A planet like the Earth's sun?" Ying Zheng asked.
He has been cramming various scientific and technological knowledge recently, and even bought a glass of knowledge wine from Tony. He is no longer a science illiterate.
When it comes to knowledge of science and technology, he is even better than Li Yunlong.
Under Ying Zheng's gaze, Li Yunlong touched the empty wine glass with one hand and asked, "Brother Zheng, what do you think is the purpose of the war?"
Ying Zheng said nothing.
He knew that his thoughts were definitely different from the guy in front of him.
"It's resources!" Li Yunlong said, "Take other people's resources and make them your own!"
Ying Zheng nodded in agreement: "That's right."
Aren’t population and land both resources?
Li Yunlong smacked his lips, and Ying Zheng quickly filled his glass.
After taking a sip of wine, Li Yunlong continued, "In that case, how many resources do you think there are in the sky, and how much are they worth?"
"Maybe there is a planet full of gold mines. How many spaceships can that be enough to buy?"
Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent.
He had actually thought about this before, but the sky was vast and no one could guarantee that he would find it.
The most important thing is that he thought this burly soldier would not think so much.
"This guy doesn't look very knowledgeable, but I didn't expect his brain to work so quickly."
"Could it be that someone reminded him?"
While Ying Zheng was secretly depressed, he suddenly heard Li Yunlong say: "But what is my relationship with Brother Zheng?"
"How can our friendship be measured by money?"
Ying Zheng was not at all happy when he heard Li Yunlong's words.
He had already discovered that the guy in front of him was extremely cunning, did not play by the rules, and could not be judged by common sense.
"Although I can't sell it, but if Brother Zheng wants it, I can rent it to you!" Li Yunlong's true intentions were revealed.
Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and suddenly realized something.
This guy has a good idea.
But he was moved.
