Chapter 4273 Responsibility and Commitment

Xiao Huaiyi's question at this moment was beyond Longcheng's expectations.

In other words, Longcheng had never thought about why they practiced and what they could do after they became stronger.

He seemed to vaguely remember that his ancestor once said the answer to this question. He wondered if it was what Xiao Huaiyi wanted and whether it could solve Xiao Huaiyi's question.

"Long's ancestors said that the meaning of our existence is to protect the king's rights and status. When the king is in danger, we must fulfill our responsibilities at all costs."

The existence of the Long family is to fight for the king. Only the king can rule them and give them orders.

Xiao Huaiyi had also heard about this rumor. After it was spread through the mouths of many people, this sentence changed its flavor.

Some people say that the Long clan is, to put it bluntly, the Baolong clan. They have been fighting for the rights of the royal family all their lives. In their eyes, the king is everything.

Even if the king ordered everyone to kill themselves, they would not hesitate to obey the order. The word "order" was deeply embedded in everyone's hearts, and they could never change or escape.

"So this is how the rumors came about, but I don't understand why the Long clan completely lost news in China and disappeared from the world for hundreds of years."

Xiao Huaiyi asked, the answer to this question is very simple, it is in the records of the Long family, so Longcheng can give Xiao Huaili an answer now.

"Your Xiao clan is considered a big clan, so you should be very familiar with history, right?"

"Although he is not proficient, he can still be regarded as well-read, and he has heard about some things happening in China."

The disappearance of the Long clan has indeed become a secret in the eyes of others, and they don't understand what happened and why such a powerful clan suddenly lost information overnight.

In subsequent records, the Long Family was never mentioned again, and this was the case for hundreds of years. The glory of the Long Family would never reappear, and countless people regretted it.

Long Cheng didn't find it strange, because he was a member of the Long clan and knew what happened back then, so he explained to Xiao Huaiyi.

"Since you understand history, do you know that when the Qing army entered Guan and the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, the king was unable to save himself and was hanged on the Meishan Mountain?"

"I've heard that...Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian was the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He died tragically and with great courage."

Xiao Huaiyi is naturally very clear about the records of this incident. Especially the Emperor Chongzhen did not lose his integrity even until his death, which is very admirable.

At that time, the ancestors of the Long family were also beside the king. Although the Long family had great power, they could not reverse the situation at this moment.

No one can reverse the change of dynasties. In this process, the Long family generally will not interfere. As long as the previous dynasty treats the previous lord well and does not kill everyone, this is how history develops.

But this time it was different. If the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, the country would be governed by the Manchus, not the Han people. This was called an invasion in the Long family's concept, and they had to turn the tide.

Even if it means massacre of a city, he will not hesitate to kill millions of enemies...

Originally, in the eyes of ordinary people, Long was a devil-like existence, and someone had to bear the bad reputation in this world.

However……

The king stopped them and did not let Long participate in this battle.

He knew that this dynasty had lost not only those territories, but also the most important people's hearts.

What's the use of holding on to the throne after losing even the most important thing, so he didn't let the Long family participate in the war.

However, the Long family insisted on fighting. In order to make the Long family give up completely, the king issued an order. Once this order was issued, it meant that the mission of the Long family had been completed.

In order to protect the rights and status of the king, the Long family has made too many sacrifices and sacrifices. It is enough to achieve this level. They don't want to continue to let the Long family live in pain because of this order.

Giving an order to the Long family was equivalent to being liberated. From then on, he no longer had to fight for anyone, and the king chose this way to end himself and retain his last dignity.

The Long clan bowed to the king, and all the clan members left here. They had completed their mission and no longer needed to fight, so they chose a quiet place to live an isolated life.

"So I told you before, the Long family's mission has been completed, and the disputes in the outside world have nothing to do with us. We just want to live this ordinary life."

Long Cheng told Xiao Huaiyi this to make Xiao Huaiyi understand that this is the mission of the Long family.

After listening to what Long Cheng said, the end solved Xiao Huaiyi's inner doubts as to why the Long family was so powerful that it disappeared overnight, losing all information, as if it disappeared out of thin air.

It turned out that this was what happened. After being silent for a moment, he said to Long Cheng beside him.

"What you think is the end of the mission is just your own opinion."

"What do you mean?"

"In the past, the Long family fought for the people of the world, and did not hesitate to do things that were against the law of heaven, such as massacre of cities for the sake of peace. Could it be that what you did was just for your so-called mission?"

Xiao Huaiyi asked. Long Cheng wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to refute what Xiao Huaiyi said. He had not thought about this question.

What on earth is the Long family fighting for? If it is just for the king, why should he bear such an eternal infamy and become a murderous demon.

"Before, your father wanted me to stay and live a secluded life like you. I chose to refuse, not because I couldn't let go of the bustling world outside."

Xiao Huaiyi had his own ambitions and things he wanted to do, so he rejected Long Yan. He just wanted to do what he should do while he was alive.

"Like what happened to the little girl before, it happens all the time in the outside world. I don't want to be a saint and save people from suffering. I just want to rely on my own abilities to do what I can."

"If I stay here, I will remain mediocre for the rest of my life. A man should take responsibility instead of hiding in a place like this to enjoy his leisure and live his own peaceful life."

If someone else said this to him, Long Cheng would punch him without hesitation. No one would dare to use this tone to question him and accuse Long of his fault.

But when these words came out of Xiao Huaiyi's mouth, it was like there was an irresistible force. Even he was impressed by these words and deeply understood this man's inner thoughts.
