Chapter 1355: Chapter 333: Bloody Battle (4)

Blind Bei and Gou Moli rode their horses back to the main camp together. On the way, Gou Moli said:

"Mr. Bei, do you know the biggest difference between you and me?"

"What is it?" Blind Bei responded.

"What you seek, what you study, what you know, and what you are familiar with is a kind of universality among people, whereas I prefer to look at the specific characteristics of a single group of people, that is, if, Mr. Bei, you consider the wild people as people too."

"You mean, I’m more metaphysical?"

"I haven’t heard that word before, but I can roughly guess what it means. Actually, it’s not far off. It’s like a candle; no matter how bright or hot it is, it still needs a dark candlestick to bear and support it.

Even if you gild this candlestick with silver or gold, its glow can never surpass the candle flame. But without it, without these fittings, that wouldn’t work either.

You’re considering the universality in the big picture, whereas I’m fixing and patching up the small corners."

"Haha, I remember, my lord should have told you, he doesn’t like your habit of being overly modest. You always present yourself inside and out as a fool or simpleton. If we don’t believe it, you repeatedly show this behavior, and if we do believe it, then wouldn’t we be the fools?"

"Yes, I understand. I will try to speak properly in the future. It’s just... there’s no way. Some habits are ingrained for too long, and it’s hard to change them quickly."

"Take it slow, no rush."

"But I’m curious, to what extent do you think I should change? Although I don’t know exactly what, I feel the relationship between you, Mr. Feng, General Liang, and my lord is very intriguing; I may never reach it."

"You shouldn’t hope for our relationship with my lord."

This thing, you can’t imitate; it’s innate.

Even the demon kings themselves can’t change it.

Whether in past lives or this life, it’s the same.

"Then what kind of demeanor should I strive to show? Oh no, according to what you said during the lecture to the soldiers and civilians at Snow Sea Pass, which direction should I progress towards?"

"Progress?"

"Yes, to what extent should I progress?"

"Progress to the point where if we and my lord plan to open an inn, we think we can keep you in the inn as a waiter, then that’s enough."

"Interesting." Gou Moli clicked his tongue and continued, "Very interesting, you and my lord are truly a fascinating group of people."

"Our goal is to make this life a bit more interesting."

"I need to seriously contemplate this sentence. Actually, I’ve always been somewhat confused, because after the great undertaking collapsed, I should have ended it all.

But I’m still alive, still thinking of ways to wait for opportunities, seek opportunities, and pursue them.

Perhaps, my future path can lean towards Mr. Bei and my lord, towards those two words."

"Take it slow, no rush."

"Yes, but there’s one more thing I’ve noticed, but didn’t know whether to say." Gou Moli said.

"Go ahead."

"My lord and you are Yan people, but I’ve always felt that you don’t seem like Yan people."

"And you, Gou Moli, how are you like those muddle-headed, foolish wild people?"

"No, Mr. Bei, I mean, whether it’s you or my lord, in your attitude towards the Yan people, there is clearly some..."

"Some what?"

"Some negligence. This neglect remains the relationship between the candlestick and the candle flame. Just like I understand the wild people, there are indeed those like me who understand the Yan people."

"You mean His Majesty the Yan Emperor?"

"Yes, exactly him, he is a heroic ruler."

"That’s only natural."

"Perhaps, many people think he’s waging war against the Chu region at this time as a form of reckless warmongering, but he should clearly feel the line of tolerance that the Yan people can endure.

He thinks there’s no problem, so he just goes ahead. He knows how much strength Yan State and the Yan people can be squeezed out of, one generation isn’t enough, then two generations, or even the strength of three generations in one day."

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

"I just wanted to ask Mr. Bei, have you considered what happens after this war against Chu?"

Upon hearing this question,

Blind Bei showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

In the past, the only one truly enthusiastic about rebellion among the demonic kings was Blind Bei himself. Now it seems, there’s another one.

Because for the king of the wild people, the higher my lord’s position, the higher his own position and that of the Snow Field he represents will rise.

"We’ll take it one step at a time."

Blind Bei gave this answer.

Actually, many people are preparing for the future, Gongsun Zhi, Gong Wang, even on a larger scale, Prince Jingnan and the Yan Emperor, all the same.

Although the top priority is still the war against Chu, it doesn’t prevent everyone from making some plans and arrangements for the future.

Unfortunately, although Snow Sea Pass is now an indispensable part of the eastern Jin, a force to be reckoned with, it still doesn’t have the qualification to place its pieces on the board in advance.

Not having this qualification is not a big problem, because throughout history, there is a kind of person who doesn’t place their pieces in advance; what they excel at is taking chestnuts from the fire.
