Chapter 296
The peaceful and peaceful days were short-lived after all. Within two days, there was no food in the entire city, and many people starved to death.
On this day, she came to the general's camp again, but she did not find him. She asked the soldiers, and the soldiers told her that the general was by the river.
She came to the river and saw the thin general sitting by the river looking at the water. She walked over and took the initiative to talk to him. She talked a lot and talked about a lot of what she had seen and heard in the city. But today the thin general said nothing. No words were spoken.
She asked him what was wrong, and he said: "I am very worried. Should I surrender in exchange for the relief of the people, or should I resist tenaciously and wait for support and face the unknown possibility? I think the latter is too cruel to the people, but the former is Let me live up to the emperor's expectations of me..."
"You have been thinking about pitying others, why don't you pity yourself more?" she asked.
“Because I’m human and they’re human too.”
"But you are a general." She said, meaning that you are noble and have more meaning in life than civilians.
The thin general said: "In this world, no matter how noble people are, they are still one person. I am not noble, I am just a general and a person, and there are tens of thousands of people in the city, they are also people, and I am The same creature, ten thousand people and one person, obviously ten thousand is more important."
"What you said is really unreasonable," she said.
"No, it's just that you look at it from a different angle," he said.
"..."
At this moment, she seemed to understand something from this thin general, which she had never considered in the past when she was in the demon clan and was held in the hands of the demons.
She thought again of the Demon King and the Heavenly Demons in the Demon Clan. They all looked arrogant, as if other demons were inferior to them anyway.
She doesn't like those arrogant guys.
She felt that maybe it was true as the thin general said. From a certain perspective, all life in the world was the same.
But this kind of perspective is what a king should have.
"I think as a general, you are more suitable to be a king." She said.
"Why?" asked the thin general.
"Having pity on the world and worrying about the world, what is it but the heart of a king?" she said.
"Then I am far from a king. I only pity my subordinates and these suffering people, not the whole world." The thin general smiled and shook his head.
"..."
She felt that she couldn't make the guy in front of her understand her point of view, and she was going to drop the topic. Since the other person didn't care about his heart, she thought it would be better to use other methods to make him happy.
"Can we talk about something happy?" she asked.
"Not in the mood."
"Well, let me give you a hint. Take a branch and throw it into the sky and let it decide. If the direction is east or south, you will live up to the king. If the direction is west or north, you will live down to the common people."
"..."
The thin general was stunned for a while, and finally did as she said and picked up a branch.
Just when he was about to throw it into the sky, she stopped him and said, "At that second, you already had the result in your heart."
"..." The thin general was stunned, not understanding what she meant.
"If I guess correctly, the second before you throw the branch, your heart is expecting the branch to point west or north," she said.
Hearing this, the thin general suddenly smiled again, very happily, and his heart was opened. As she said, his heart is still more focused on the people.
"Since the suffering of the people is more important than the king's hopes in your heart, why bother yourself and distort your innermost feelings by thinking about the king's kindness to you?"
Seeing the thin general smile, a smile gradually appeared on her face.
"Tomorrow, I will surrender."
The thin general lay by the river and looked at the sky, feeling finally relieved.
"If you surrender, will you die?" she asked.
"How can a defeated general survive?"
"What about your subordinates?"
"I'll keep them alive," he said.
"You will be killed, let alone them?"
"Actually, fighting is like making friends. We get to know each other as we fight. I have always respected my opponents, so my opponents generally respect me. I think they will still let me go with my small army of 10,000 people. , even if they are captured, they will not kill them.”
"It seems that you are quite charming." She said with excitement in her eyes.
"No matter how charming you are, it will be useless if you were born in this war-torn country."
"You should have a lot of regrets."
"Yes, my biggest regret is...not having a wife, hahaha..." As he said that, the thin general suddenly laughed, as if he was joking.
Looking at the thin general, she became naughty as the little princess she always was, and said with a smile: "Actually, I think I'm pretty pretty. You can try to chase me."
"You? Beautiful? Hahahaha..." Suddenly the thin general laughed even harder.
She frowned. It was well known in the demon world that she was beautiful. Is there anything wrong with her? Or is there something wrong with human aesthetics?
She was very angry. This was the first time she had introduced herself to a man through a casual recommendation, but she ended up being laughed at by him!
"Am I not beautiful?" she said angrily.
"Hahaha... don't make me laugh, okay? I almost don't want to die." The thin general continued to laugh.
"snort!"
She was very angry, "You will never have the chance to see someone more beautiful than me!"
"Oh my God, do you want me to go to the city and pick a random woman to compare with you, so that you can know what you look like? Hahaha..."
"Stop laughing!"
The princess' temper suddenly exploded, and her demonic power exploded, kicking the thin general.
"Ah!"
"Bang!"
With a scream and a sound in the river, the thin general went into the river.
She stood on the shore still looking angry, until she saw herself in the river, her anger was half gone.
Because she saw a face as black as charcoal, it turned out that she only thought about hiding and healing these days, and even forgot to wash her face.
This look is indeed not beautiful, and it can't be blamed on him.
"I can't swim! Are you going to kill me in advance?"
Suddenly, the thin general's cry for help came from the middle of the river, and he was shouting while slapping the water.
Seeing this, she jumped into the river to save him. Just when she swam to him, the thin general suddenly smiled evilly and slapped her into the water.
"Little girl, you are still young to fight with me, haha."
The thin general's happy laughter came from the water. She knew she was deceived, and then she was very angry. She immediately swam up and used her magic power to wrap a water ball and smashed it on the thin general's happy face.
