Daqin: Confucianism, Law, and Taoism
Chapter 53
Although the old royal palace of the State of Chu has lost its former prosperity, the former palace collection has been brought back to Xianyang by the Qin army.
But this palace complex is still carved and beautiful.
Inside the palace, Huan Weiwei withdrew the maid, and he looked at the frightened salamander who was kneeling on the bed, bound by the Vajra chains, and slowly walked in front of her.
Huan Wei picked up the bowl on the side table, which was porridge with meat added, Huan Wei picked up a spoon of porridge, blew it, and handed the spoon to the watery red lips of the shocked salamander.
"Drink some porridge, you have been working hard with me all the way in the past few days, you have been seriously injured, your physique is weak, if you don't supplement some nutrition, your body will not be able to stand it."
The salamander raised her beautiful eyes with cold makeup, which was picturesque.
She looked at Huan Wei, and did not have any resistance, her mouth opened slightly, and she drank the porridge in her spoon into her mouth.
Seeing her so well-behaved and obedient, Huan Wei nodded with a smile, and fed the salamander spoonful so quietly.
The two were silent, and the only sound in the palace was the sound of the salamander gently swallowing the porridge.
After a long time, after drinking a bowl of porridge, the salamander spoke, her voice was beautiful, not indifferent, but it was not as soft as when she was accompanying Huan Wei:
“...... I'm used to days like this, and as an Assassin, I have to endure some pain in order to accomplish my goals. "
Huan Wei put the bowl down, and said, "... Also includes giving your own body? "
The shocked salamander pursed his lips: "... In order to complete the task, it is necessary to stop at nothing. "
Huan Wei smiled noncommittally: "... Do you miss your career as an assassin so much? Hold your head on the waistband of your pants and you could die at any time? "
"Isn't life good now, brocade clothes and food, there are maids to serve, you don't have to wake up and wander in the mountains and forests, you don't have to gamble your life to assassinate the target."
"Assassins are like gamblers, you may win once, but as long as you keep gambling, the end result is your own death."
"You don't like such a peaceful and stable life?"
The corner of the salamander's lips touched, she is not a person who covets material life, and her career as a killer since childhood allows her to endure suffering.
Whether it is delicious food or bad rice, as long as she can swallow, as long as it can be used as food, she can be as happy as food.
But Huan Wei's words touched the deepest longing of her heart.
"Of course, my life is not stable, and I always have to face countless difficulties, such as I have to face Lu Buwei's pursuit and killing now."
"But I am the Chang'an Sovereign of the Qin Kingdom, and I have the ability to eliminate all external dangers and give people stability."
"Shocking salamander, when you were in the Little Sage Zhuang, you also read many sage texts and understood the truth of the world, which is something that Luo Net will never teach you."
"Then you should understand that assassins have no future, and you may be able to kill me, but do you want the child in your belly to follow the same path as you in the future?"
Huan Wei stared at the shocked salamander with burning eyes, and now the problem that the shocked salamander is facing is actually the same as the black and white Xuanxuan back then.
And the black and white Xuanxuan took another path for the sake of his children, and Huan did not believe that the salamander would also make the right choice.
Xuan Yi loves his wife and loves his children, and as a woman, the salamander will inevitably love her children more.
Maternal love has always been so great, for the child conceived from her own body, the mother's love will surpass everything.
There is not a saying that the so-called marriage is actually to make men responsible, because marriage can make men sure that it is their own children and let them take responsibility for raising them.
Although in modern times, marriage has become useless.
"I... There is no choice, becoming an assassin is my destiny. "
The shocked salamander lowered her head, her tone was not sad, not even much ups and downs, as if she had already resigned herself to her fate.
"I know you have no choice, you are raised by Luo Net, you can only work for Luo Net."
"Salamander, tell me about your past."
Sitting on the edge of the bed, she gently lifted the salamander's left arm and untied the bloodstained bandage on her arm.
He took the medicines, sprinkled them on the salamander's wounds, and re-attached a new bandage.
Between the waist and abdomen of the shocked salamander, there was also a deep bone scar, blurred flesh and blood, which was a wound cut out by the anti-scale sword.
Now those wounds are almost recovered, but there are still some traces.
Huan Wei did not do the same and medicated these wounds of her.
The pain of changing the dressing made the salamander's forehead sweat cold, but her lips trembled and turned white and she endured it, not saying a word, and her willpower was visible.
Fortunately, the salamander is a master and has strong internal strength, otherwise such a serious injury is actually very easy to infect.
In this era, it is difficult to survive if infected, but Huan Wei found that the internal force can resist bacteria and viruses, which is really incredible.
When Huan Wei finished changing the medicine, the shocked salamander let out a turbid breath, and then said in her cold voice: "... There is nothing special about my past. "
"Since I was conscious, I have lived with many children, I don't understand anything, I just do what Luo Net asks."
"Those cruel training kings should not want to understand, the children who lived with me died, only I persevered and survived."
"After that, I became a killer, gave me orders from above, I went to complete the order to kill the target, then received the next order, and so on."
"I just remember the first time I killed someone, it was thirteen."
Huan Wei sorted out the salamander's clothes, his hand rubbed the salamander's pretty face as white as the moon, and his fingers played with her skin and cheeks.
"You survived, which shows that you have a strong desire to survive."
"But this is very contradictory, what Luo Wang hopes to cultivate is a killing tool that has no desire for survival, only the will to die."
"But to survive those brutal trainings in the net, you need a strong desire to survive."
"This desire for survival is your human nature, which Luo Net can never suppress."
"Salamander, why don't you try to change your life? In the past, you didn't have a choice, but now you have the opportunity to choose. "
"Why don't you live once for yourself, for the child in your belly, you love the child who has not yet been born."
"As a woman who is about to become a mother, you must be pleasantly surprised to have a new life in your belly, which is the miracle of life."
"Two heartbeats, isn't that enough for you to understand?"
Huan Wei's hand gently placed on the still flat lower abdomen of the salamander, and stroked it carefully.
The salamander gritted his teeth and said, "... This is only the means necessary to kill the target. "
Huan Wei shook his head: "... You can lie to me, but don't lie to yourself. "
"Your martial arts are powerful, and you must have noticed it the first time you conceived a child."
"As a first-class killer, this is the first time you use your body to kill people, but in the net, there are definitely female killers who are good at these means."
"Then in the process of completing the task, there will always be accidents, such as pregnancy."
"I don't believe that Luo Net is so humane, pregnant women take a long time to give birth, in this period of the world, this killer is wasted."
"How can the killers who are hard to cultivate be easily wasted, and they must have an abortion method."
"You are a woman, you must have learned similar knowledge in Luowang, but you didn't do this, it can be seen that you care about the child in your belly."
Huan Wei's words made the shocked salamander unable to refute, and she bit her lower lip tightly and said, "... Betrayal is a dead end. "
Huan Wei couldn't help but laugh and said, "... Salamander, your vision is too narrow, in your eyes, Luo Net is a behemoth. "
"Even if you are a first-class killer of Tianzi, if you betray you, you will undoubtedly die, and you will be hunted to the ends of the earth."
"Because besides you, Luo Wang has other first-class killers."
"But in my eyes, in the eyes of people like Lu Buwei, Luowang is just a tool, a useful tool, just as you are also a tool in Luowang's eyes."
"The reason why Luowang is strong is not that Luowang is strong, but that the Qin State is strong, and if there is no Qin State, the so-called Luowang is just a small organization that is not well known."
"Just like the killer organization called 'Nightfall', which has recently gained fame, it is not that Nightfall is powerful, but it relies on South Korea."
"Even if South Korea is weak among today's countries, it is still enough to raise such a killer organization."
"You are a Luo Net killer, you can't stand high, so you can't see this, Luo Net is just a useful sword in Lu Buwei's hand, a dog he raised."
"But whether it's a sword or a dog, they can change owners."
Huan Wei's hands roamed on the delicate body of the salamander, especially her slender and beautiful jade legs wearing cobweb socks, which made Huan Wei love it.
"In the same way, Shocked Salamander, since you are a sword and a killer, then you can be loyal to Luo Net and fight for Luo Net."
"Then you can also be loyal to me and fight for me, just like Black and White Xuanxuan."
Huan Wei just looked directly at the cold, gorgeous eyes of the shocked salamander.
Being watched by Huan Wei like this, the shocked salamander turned his head involuntarily as if everything about himself had been seen through by Huan Wei.
Seeing this, he knew that the heart of the shocked salamander had completely loosened.
"But I also have a question for you."
Huan Wei asked at this time.
The salamander was puzzled: "... Could it be that Jun also has a puzzled question? "
In the heart of the shocked salamander, Huan Wei has not been exhausted, as if everything is going according to his plan.
Huan Wei shook his head and smiled: "... I am also just a person, even if I can really strategize and win thousands of miles, there is one thing that can never be seen, that is, the human heart. "
"So I ask you, why did you keep this child, is it because of the blood connection, or because of me?"
This sentence translates to whether you have feelings for me or not, whether you are connected with the child or because you have feelings for me.
"Lord, is this important?"
"It's important."
"Then can I ask Jun a question?"
The salamander suddenly took the initiative at this time, and instead asked Weiwei questions, which made Weiwei a little novel.
"You asked."
Huan Wei did not signal the salamander to voice his doubts.
"Junshang didn't kill me, is it because of the child in my belly, or because of me?"
Saying this, her cold and transparent eyes seemed to flash a touch of expectation and weakness.
Huan Wei was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but stroke his palm and laugh: "... I will say that you have understanding, and your heart is still alive. "
"People whose hearts are dead, who have no feelings at all, will not ask this question."
After a pause, Huan Wei said with a serious expression: "... I don't want to deceive you, and I don't want to deceive myself. "
"I didn't kill you, not because of the child in your belly, but because of you."
"I haven't been a father and I don't understand the importance of children, so I can't have any feelings for the child who hasn't been born yet."
"But you have been living with me for more than a month, whether it is your beautiful appearance, or you may be a real gentle character in disguise."
"Maybe, it's some more mysterious emotions, such as the fate feelings that we may have in the last life."
"Whatever the reason, I can tell you that I have feelings for you and I like you very much."
In the face of Huan Wei's undisguised words, the shocked salamander lowered his head, not wanting to let Huan Wei see the complexity on his face, and said in a soft voice:
“...... I also have feelings for Junshang, I did not kill this child, nor was it purely a blood connection with the child. "
"Like Junshang, I... I was also a first-time mother, and I didn't understand those things. "
Huan Wei's expression was much softer, and he said softly: "... It's good that you can speak your heart. "
"It's late at night, go to sleep, I'm a little tired, but I still won't untie your chains."
"It's not that I don't trust you, it's that my identity makes me have to do this, and you were a killer of the net after all."
The shocked salamander nodded softly: "... I can understand the Lord's distress, and that's fine. "
"I prefer what you used to call it." Saying this, Huan Wei lay down on the beautiful legs of the salamander wearing cobweb stockings and prepared to rest.
"Gongzi."
The salamander shouted softly.
"Hmm."
Huan Wei answered.
After hesitating, the salamander whispered: "... Gongzi asked me before if such a life is good. "
"Actually, I prefer the life I had when I was in Little Sage Village with Gongzi."
At that time, she didn't have to think about the task of Luo Net, just accompanied Huan Wei and lived a calm and ordinary life.
Her heart longs for stability.
Huan Wei did not make a sound on the salamander's leg, and I don't know if he heard this sentence.
