Chapter 4266: An Encounter
Justice or evil cannot be defined by the word murder. Xue Yaoyue seemed to understand something.
Long Cheng continued to pour tea for the two of them. He had said before that what he said next would involve a lot and would go back to many past events, so the conversation would become very long.
I specially found such a place just to have a quiet conversation and tell Xiao Yi and Xue Yaoyue something. As for what they thought after hearing it.
The benevolent sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom.
"You must have something to say."
Xue Yaoyue looked at Longcheng Road, and Longcheng looked at the scenery on the mountain, silent at this time.
After a long time, he continued.
"This is the mission of the Long family. Back then, the enemy invaded the territory and no grass grew wherever the iron hooves touched. The people were massacred and the royal city was besieged. All civil and military officials chose to surrender. At this time, only the Long family still stood by the king. aside."
"They were ordered to go north to fight when they were in danger. Although they were extremely powerful, they were unable to stop the enemy's mighty army. The enemy even threatened to kill every city they broke without leaving any chickens or dogs behind!"
"As a last resort, one member of the Long family stood up and broke into the enemy's city alone, killing everyone in the city and forcing the enemy to retreat and defend. However, he alone bore all the infamy, shaved his hair and became a monk to face the Buddha for the rest of his life, without ever raising a sword."
Longcheng is not defending anything, it is just telling the truth of the matter to restore the innocence of the Long family.
From this point of view, the Long family is sad. They have been infamy for a long time despite being the king. The world is misunderstanding them, and they are the only ones who suffer silently.
"I asked you the question just now, and I still have to ask you now. Is it justice or evil to kill a hundred thousand people to retreat from the army of millions of tigers and wolves, and to save millions of people from misery?"
Long Cheng asked Xue Yaoyue. Xue Yaoyue couldn't answer this question, and she couldn't give Long Cheng an answer. She finally understood that it turned out that those were people's misunderstandings.
"It turns out that everyone in the world has misunderstood the Long family."
Xue Yaoyue sighed, Long Cheng's expression was natural and not affected at all.
"Everyone has a different opinion. The reason why people are afraid of the Long Clan is not only the massacre of the city, but also the terrifying strength of the Long Clan."
One person can slaughter an entire city. It takes a lot of courage and strength to do this. It is really unimaginable.
After listening to what Long Cheng said, Xiao Yi seemed to have some understanding of the Long clan. It turned out that there was a stronger clan than the Xiao clan in this world.
"One thing I don't understand is why the Long family is so powerful, but there is no news about the Long family in the past few hundred years. It seems like the Long family has disappeared."
Xue Yaoyue was confused and said that she learned from her great-grandmother that there was such a powerful clan, but she had never seen it before just hearing about it.
It wasn't until I met Long Cheng today that I believed what my great-grandmother said was correct. It seemed a little abnormal for such a powerful family to have no news.
"There is nothing surprising. The Long family completed their mission and chose to quit and live a secluded life. The Long family will never ask about what happens in the outside world."
"So that's it. It seems that some things are indeed different from what I thought."
Xue Yaoyue solved the doubts in her heart and gained a new understanding of the Long clan. She knew that the previous rumors were just misinformation about the Long clan.
There are indeed some things in this world that you have to choose to do. Others get the benefits, but the infamy will last a lifetime and you will never be able to take off this hat.
"The Long clan has been living a secluded life in isolation from the world, until one day, a young man accidentally walked into our secluded place. No one understood how an outsider found the entrance to our clan's residence. "
The person Long Cheng was talking about was Xiao Yi's father, Xiao Huaiyi. When Xiao Huaiyi appeared in front of Long Cheng, Long Cheng's mind went blank and he had no idea where this man came from.
To enter their secluded place, you need to activate twelve restrictions. Once an outsider approaches, the alarm will be triggered immediately to notify the Long family that an outsider has broken in and be prepared.
But Xiao Huaiyi came in directly. Long Cheng was very puzzled at the time. Only when he saw his sister standing next to Xiao Huaiyi did Long Cheng understand what was going on.
"My sister is also your mother. Her name is Long Qin. She was obsessed with the scenery outside that day, so she left alone and had an accident while bathing in a lake."
The accident mentioned here is certainly not due to trivial reasons such as drowning. The Long family is powerful beyond people's imagination, and no one will threaten their safety.
When Long Qin took a bath, she chose an inaccessible place where no outsiders had appeared for decades. However, she was not prepared for the fact that her clothes were stolen by a few naughty monkeys and taken to a far away place.
Long Qin, who had no clothes to wear, had no choice but to soak in the water and try to contact someone to send her clothes. But at this moment, a man appeared with her clothes in his hand.
Xiao Huaiyi, in addition to his ability, likes to travel around the mountains and rivers. When he encounters a place with spectacular scenery, he will stop and admire it. He happened to come here and saw a few monkeys and a few women's items. clothes.
So he leaped over and caught up with the monkey and snatched the clothes. The clothes exuded a faint fragrance, which smelled very charming. Xiao Huaiyi followed the smell and came to the lake, just in time to see Long Qin bathing in the lake.
At first, Long Qin didn't know that the clothes were stolen by the monkey. Xiao Huaiyi just came to return the clothes and had no other malicious intentions, but Long Qin thought he was a hooligan. If it weren't for the fact that he was not wearing clothes, his spring light would be exposed, and he wanted to kill Xiao Huaiyi.
At this time, Xiao Huaiyi showed his gentlemanly demeanor, put the clothes on a rock by the lake, and explained that he had snatched the clothes from the monkey, not stolen by himself.
This is why there was no conflict. Long Qin's cultivation was extraordinary. If someone's breath approached, she would definitely notice it at the first time, but if it was an animal, she would naturally not be on guard.
So she believed what Xiao Huaiyi said. Xiao Huaiyi put down the clothes and turned his body to the side. Don't look at it or listen to it.
Long Qin appreciated this very much. Originally, there were few members of their Long family, and the appearance of Xiao Huaiyi made her very interested and wanted to get to know this man more deeply.
Long Qin left the lake and went ashore. After putting on her clothes, she walked behind Xiao Huaiyi, patted Xiao Huaiyi on the shoulder, and thanked him in person. They soon became familiar with each other.
