Chapter 292 - 192 Dao Foundation Perfection of the Seventy-Seventh_2
"It’s not you who saved the world, but you who joined the countless people arising in revolt during the dynastic changes."
Jiang Jucai was somewhat confused; he read military treatises and was not very clear about such matters.
He asked, "Mr. Wen, how can we achieve peace in the world?"
"Why are you scared only now? You were filled with ambitions of making a mark in the world before."
Gu Wen saw the fear in the other’s eyes, or perhaps it was the calm earned through trials, as well as the fear of the future.
The former Jiang Jucai just wanted to be appointed to a position by imperial decree, to advance one step ahead in the class hierarchy—a very simple and pragmatic wish. Now Gu Wen was telling him it was time to conquer the world.
He couldn’t help scratching his head with a somewhat guilty conscience and said, "Many people in Jiang Family Village died. Half of the brothers I led out are dead. Many brothers say being enlisted is quite good. If we really continue fighting like this..."
"After you go back, if you hear these words again, tell them to roll away and give them a few acres of land to farm. If you also think this way, you can also come back and farm."
Gu Wen’s voice was slightly cold, and Jiang Jucai’s back chilled, his body rigid, as if in the obscurity an immense giant had a palm hovering over the top of his skull.
"Fighting will lead to deaths; if you don’t want to fight, plenty of people do."
