Chapter 144 - 84: The Four Symbols Gather, the Cultivation is Complete, the Imperial Pole Worldly Scripture!_3
Li Guanyi said, "Tuyuhun has fallen, are you not saddened by this?"
Siming burst into laughter and said, "Saddened? What is he, after all? Achai was merely a servant by birth. He had no clan of his own, so he named his country after himself, allowing this name to be passed down for three hundred years, to the point that even thousands of years later, people will know the three words ’Tuyuhun’."
"Even if future generations are unaware that this was actually the name of a humble slave, who once pointed at the stars in the sky and vowed to make countless people remember his name!"
"Why would he be saddened? He would only feel that his work is done, and he would leave calmly."
"Young man, do not underestimate those old fellows."
The elder took out a liquor bing from his embrace, took a swig, and said softly:
"Besides, the descendants of Tuyuhun, his true bloodline, were hacked to death in a bloody disorder one hundred and eighteen years after his death, over a dispute for his uncle’s wife and daughter. The political upheaval of Tuyuhun wiped out his lineage. I rode a horse for seven days and seven nights, and by the time I got there, there was no child left with his blood."
"A hero’s descendants are not necessarily heroes as well."
"The descendants of Tuyuhun will eventually turn into the very people he would have cleaved with his sword on sight back in his day. Having exhausted all his heroic fervor and with the bloodline no longer existing, yet his reign recorded in the annals, Tuyuhun’s life was perfect."
