Chapter 449: World Chapter: Right and Wrong, Unity and Division.
No matter what, Zhao Yun's original intention was not to argue with Wang Yao about right and wrong. At least his starting point from the beginning was just to make Wang Yao realize that compared with his current extreme means, his kindness in the past was more precious!
So, during the fierce argument, Zhao Yun realized that this was not a solution and took the lead in calming down.

"Ayao, I know you've had a hard time in the past six months, but this is really not a reason for you to degenerate."

Zhao Yun's sudden surrender stunned Wang Yao for a moment, and then he fell silent. Only his deep eyes, looking at Zhao Yun, were left, shining with an extremely complex luster.

And Zhao Yun followed behind him, still looking up at the vast blue sky above his head.

In that faraway place, wild geese are flying south in the breeze. In the blink of an eye, autumn is almost over, and the cold winter is not far away.

Zhao Yun was filled with emotion for a moment. After he calmed down, the memories in his mind were like an old diary that he had just opened. Everything in the past came back to him vividly, as if it happened just yesterday.
"Do you still remember? The first time I met you was also on the bank of the river in the canyon. At that time, you were just an unknown melee soldier, so young and kind, and ignorant of the hardships of the world. You were also a very naive anti-war activist. Do you still remember? You once vowed to me that you would change this corrupt world, you would liberate the soldiers and end the war.

Believe it or not, maybe I was moved by your straightforwardness and sincerity, or maybe I just agreed with your spirit of never giving up. Anyway, I just believed for no reason at that time that you would become a great leader, and even more so, the unprecedented king who would bring reform to the world! This is exactly why I was willing to follow you to death because in you, I saw the spark of hope for the first time after struggling on the road of failure. "

Zhao Yun's gaze gradually softened. He looked at the silent Wang Yao and continued.

"Later, everything was just as I thought. You began to grow up. You had advanced ideas that were different from this era, and you had extraordinary wit and strategy. You repeatedly broke the rules and created many unprecedented feats. Although you suffered the baptism of war and lost many companions in the process, it is gratifying that no matter how bumpy and difficult the road ahead was, you were still able to rely on the tenacity in your bones to always stick to your own ideas and fight for it. This was your biggest shining point at the time, and it was also the reason why I was more determined to follow you, because you were so unique and kind at that time. Even though you suffered a lot of contempt, spitting and ridicule from others because of this overly kind and benevolent heart, you still never gave up!"

Zhao Yun became more and more excited as he spoke, and before he knew it, a smile of relief appeared on his face.

"Later, people gradually changed their views on you because your actions had moved them. You loved, protected, and upheld the existence of the soldiers. In order to minimize unnecessary casualties, you resolutely confronted the enemy's main general Zhou Yu, and later went alone to the highlands of the Wei Kingdom to fight to the death with Cao Cao, the strongest man in the three-point land at that time. You successfully reached the top of the Three Kingdoms, and thus won the love of countless soldiers. Even the heroes began to look at you with admiration, and were even influenced by you. Some heroes also began to change their views on the existence of the soldiers to a certain extent. To be honest, the time I worked hard with you during those years was the most fulfilling and happiest time of my life. You did a really good job at that time, really good."

As he spoke, Zhao Yun's smile gradually disappeared.
As for Wang Yao, no one knew when he had slightly lowered his head, leaving only his flowing hair, completely covering his eyes in shadow.

"But sometimes, you change. You are no longer yourself. You start to let others point fingers at you and say you are bad. You start to abandon your precious original intentions. Because of the bad things you encounter, you even start to blame other things. In the end, you become the person you once hated the most."

Having said that, Zhao Yun looked at Wang Yao very seriously.

"Ayao, you are actually right. This world is not a fairy tale book. It is a very mean and sinister world! But even so, I still hope that you can stick to your original intention, because that is the soldier I know who never gives up and moves forward! If you are still willing to recognize me as your brother, if you can still believe your original oath, then listen to me and give up these bloody means. We will conquer all difficulties with our strength, even if we are defeated in the end? At least don't give up easily when you encounter setbacks like you are doing now. Only cowards will do that! You are not! You are much better than that!"

The passionate words were sonorous and powerful, echoing across the vast plain for a long time.

In the breeze, the two stood facing each other, Wang Yao lowered his head, his clothes and hair fluttering gently, while Zhao Yun's face and eyes were full of eager anticipation.
only--

After a long while, what responded to Zhao Yun was a cold laugh that made him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.

“Hey, haha, hahaha!!”

Wang Yao, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly covered his forehead and laughed out loud like a lunatic. There was something sad, resolute and lonely in his laughter.

"Old Zhao! Old Zhao! You have changed. You have become more eloquent and more eloquent! Haha, hahaha! Is this still the Zhao Yun who used to be so frugal with words? Ha, hahaha."

This didn't seem to be anything funny, but Wang Yao couldn't stop laughing; just like Zhao Yun couldn't help but rebuke Wang Yao for ordering the massacre of the enemy even though he knew it was justifiable.

original.

When a person really changes, once compared with his former self, he will really appear extremely abrupt, weird and awkward.

That's why Zhao Yun would scold Wang Yao for his change, and Wang Yao would laugh at Zhao Yun's change.

However, Wang Yao's wild laughter did not last long.

Sudden--

Wang Yao suddenly stopped laughing. The crazy laughing face just a second ago instantly turned into his usual cold and ruthless expression.

"Don't advise others to be kind unless you have experienced their suffering. Lao Zhao, if you had experienced what I have experienced, would you still say these words to yourself so passionately?"

But Wang Yao spoke word by word, coldly saying: "I've said it before, I firmly believe that everything I did was right!"

Zhao Yun paused, looking at Wang Yao who was still stubborn, and then he got angry again: "Why don't you understand until now?! Haven't you realized that the reason why those soldiers were willing to follow you was because you were kinder and more merciful than anyone else! You took up the knife for these billions of soldiers and for the justice of the world, not to create more tragedies! Look at the way you look now, if Luna was still alive, what would she think?! I just want to ask you."

In a sense, from this moment on, Zhao Yun made the biggest mistake, which was to mention the girl's name again in front of Wang Yao, because this name, at this time, was like an extremely sharp needle, which completely pierced the weakest and softest part of Wang Yao's heart.

"Shut up!! What do you want to ask me? What do you want to ask me?!" Wang Yao, who was as cold as ice a second ago, suddenly exploded completely. Before Zhao Yun could finish his words, he grabbed his collar and roared and cursed like a wounded beast.

"Do you want to ask how Luna turned to ashes in front of me?! Or do you want to ask how Ishira Ono died? Or what was Maomao's expression when he died?! Do you want me to tell you how I felt when they died one by one in front of me because of this damn war?! Bullshit kindness! Damn righteousness!!"

At this moment, Wang Yao completely lost his mind.

"Why do I have to consider everything from the perspective of those soldiers?! Why am I destined to live for them?! I am not the reincarnation of a bodhisattva, nor am I a man of steel. I am just an ordinary person with a heart, a liver, lungs, and emotions! My brother who I had been through life and death with was killed by someone, and afterwards I could not pursue the matter for the sake of the overall situation. Even the girl who gave everything for me was reduced to ashes in front of my eyes!

You say I pity them, but who the hell is going to pity me? ! Do they pity me? No! They just treat me as an idiot, they just think my kindness is stupid, what else do they do besides sitting in a well and sneering? ! Before Luna died, no one was even willing to help me push her away!
She was the person I loved most in my life. She accompanied me through the most difficult and dangerous three years. She was my life! But she died. Is this fair? Why should I be kind? Didn’t she die even though she was so kind? You keep telling me to fight for justice and peace, but what about you? What have you done for this? Have you lost anything from the beginning to the end? "

Yes, from the beginning to the end, he was the only one who was losing.

The continuous questioning, coupled with the almost insane look and the terrifying pressure like a mountain pressing down on his head, actually made Zhao Yun feel a little afraid for a moment, and he subconsciously took two steps back!
But after just a moment, Zhao Yun gritted his teeth and forced himself to remain calm and retorted: "Yes! You are miserable, but this is not a reason for you to lose your conscience! The reason why I was willing to follow you back then was because you understood the value of life better than anyone else, but where are you now? Where are your ideals?!"

Wang Yao immediately laughed out of anger: "Ideal? Ha! Sure, I can regain my former ideal if you can watch me kill the dancer with your own eyes and then tell me it's okay!"

"!!!" Zhao Yun was choked and speechless for a moment.

When it comes to eloquence, Wang Yao is second to none in the Three-Point Land, and no one dares to claim to be first.

Seeing that Zhao Yun had completely lost his temper, Wang Yao restrained the pressure that had already caused the ground to crack, and instead revealed a sinister and evil sneer.

"What? Nothing to say? Ha, let me tell you the truth. Although I have protected their homes and saved their worthless lives, I didn't realize until today that I was wrong. I should have asked the heroes to kill all these ants! I am guilty, but not for ordering the massacre of the Xuanyong soldiers, but for naively thinking that these inferior creatures who don't deserve to live in this world can be saved!
I have been indulging myself in ridiculous self-indulgence for the past five years! I was not the devil who killed the soldiers indiscriminately before, but I have never wished so much that I was those devils and demons like I do now! I long to see their disgusting faces dying from excessive blood loss, which makes me feel more happy and satisfied than sitting on the throne and enjoying wealth and glory!

I really wish I had enough knife and strength to chop them all to death, and personally return their heads to their relatives! Looking at the desperate expressions of their relatives, I would be happy to fall into hell after my death!"

These shocking remarks completely frightened Zhao Yun, who looked at Wang Yao in fear and despair: "You you! So, now you are also just deceiving them, right? You have completely become a demon, do you know that?!"

"Devil?" Upon hearing this, Wang Yao laughed out loud again, but his laughter was full of sadness.

"If becoming a demon can save her life and let her live well, then I..." Wang Yao approached Zhao Yun and looked at the crazy self reflected in his pupils: "I only regret that I woke up too late!"

That’s right, ever since Luna’s death, there has been nothing in this world that can stop Wang Yao’s steps!

“.!,!,!!” At this moment, there are no words to describe Zhao Yun’s expression.

It was an expression that was a mixture of all kinds of emotions, not fear but more fear than fear, not despair but more despair than despair.

During this process, Wang Yao turned around and spoke coldly with his back to Zhao Yun.

"Remember, the Lord of the Federation is me, Wang Yao, not you, Zhao Yun! If you want to come back, I welcome you, but if you can't be of any use to me, then I advise you to leave as soon as possible. At this point, I don't want to have an unstable factor like you around me."

A resolute voice without any emotion came from Wang Yao's back.
Killing someone is just a matter of nodding your head, and destroying someone's heart is just a matter of a few words.

The sun slowly set in the west. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, an autumn wind blew slowly across the earth, withering leaves, turning grass yellow, and chilling people's hearts.
"Ha, ha. After all, it's just my wishful thinking."

With a desolate low laugh, Zhao Yun suddenly seemed like a man without a soul. Without saying a word, he turned around and swung his spear. He carried the spear on his shoulder and walked silently into the distance step by step under the setting sun on the long river, until his figure became increasingly blurred on the edge of the horizon and finally disappeared.
Zhao Yun never looked back, and Wang Yao never looked back either.

Above the earth and under the sky, the intersecting lines of fate connect from the far end and intersect in the middle, temporarily converging together, and finally going in opposite directions.

only--

What no one knew was that at an angle that Zhao Yun no longer had the intention to pay attention to, he was facing another direction.

Wang Yao, with his back to the direction where Zhao Yun was leaving, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly, which could not stop the slight trembling. However, he did not know when this extremely cruel, cold-blooded and decisive man had already burst into tears.
do you know?

We once ran together without looking back.

Now, the footprints behind me are long gone.

We have come a long way, but we have forgotten why we set out.
