Chapter 170: Fishing with all your might

"And what is the master going to do with him?" Jairus asked.

Zixian rubbed the corners of his forehead with a headache and said, "At first, I thought that this Zhu Yuanzhang had lived too comfortably after becoming the emperor, so he would not care about the life or death of the people." So I wanted to take him along the road to experience the suffering of the Lebanese people, so as to arouse his sympathy. ”

"But you've changed your mind now, haven't you?"

"yes. I only now found out that he didn't understand the people's suffering, he understood it too well, and he understood it so much that he was used to it. Even if he really saw the tragic situation of corpses strewn all over the field, he wouldn't feel anything. ”

Jairus was puzzled: "In this way, he is also a person who has suffered. Since he himself has experienced these tragic events, he should have known the pain involved, why did he not feel it anymore? ”

Zixian exhaled deeply and said, "I don't know how to explain it to you, in his words, it is, 'I could bear these hardships back then, why can't you bear it?'" In short, he thinks it's nothing if others come to suffer the sins he has suffered. ”

When Jianwei heard Zixian's explanation, she was surprised and angry: "What kind of crooked reasoning is this? How could anyone think that way? ”

Zixian smiled bitterly: "Jianxi, in fact, there are not a few people who think about problems like this. ”

"How can this be true, this kind of person is so disgusting! Why don't they think about the sins they have suffered, and they should not let future generations continue to suffer them? Why not think so? Why do you have to be so extreme? ”

"Huh." Zixian laughed, "Don't be angry, if you don't do that, how can you distinguish between black and white, good and evil?" How to divide who enters the immortal realm and who enters the underworld? It is this different view of the same thing that constitutes so many kinds of people and so many kinds of lives in the world. ”

"Then what now?" Although his idea is wrong, there seems to be no way to refute it, and it seems to make sense when you think about it. You can't force him not to think so, can you? ”

"I had no choice but to act on the worst-case scenario that I had in mind. Let's take him to Yanmen Pass first. Force those armies to retreat, and then think of something else. ”

In the next few days, the three of them traveled as fast as they could, all the way north.

Zixian watched Zhu Yuanzhang being carried. It was really very sinful, and it was impossible for Jairus to carry him, so he used the petals of the flower on the other side to turn into clouds and fly with him.

Zhu Yuanzhang was still lying on the petals in horror when he first flew, but then he slowly adapted to it and stood up cautiously. He was excited.

"Immortal, these petals are so magical, they can fly with me, this is soaring clouds and fog, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang stood tremblingly on the petal cloud, and turned his head to Zixian on Jianwei's head and said excitedly.

Zixian smiled: "It should be counted." You don't have to be so nervous, you can't fall down. These are my talisman petals, and they can catch you no matter how you toss them. ”

Zixian and Zhu Yuanzhang have been getting along for the past two days, and they have long stopped treating him as an emperor, but Zhu Yuanzhang has become more and more convinced that Zixian is definitely an immortal.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he tried to take a few steps forward. Sure enough, the petals immediately stretched forward a little bit, just in time to catch him.

"Well, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"The immortal is really powerful." Zhu Yuanzhang said with sincere admiration.

"Come on, you must be thinking to yourself, 'This thief is so skillful, how can I escape?' Yes and no? ”

"No, no, no. Ever since I fell into your hands, I never thought I would be able to escape. According to your supernatural powers, even if you escape, you will be caught again. ”

Zixian wondered, "Since you know this, why don't you just agree to our request." We don't have to kidnap you, so wouldn't everyone be happy? ”

"Alas......" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed deeply.

"Say whatever you want, maybe I can help you out."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said, "I was really unwilling at first. I don't want to mess up my layout just because you're there. I have always hoped that the territory of my Ming Dynasty could be wider than that of the previous dynasty. ”

"Later, I was held hostage by you, and I felt that you had violated my majesty as an emperor. If, just because of your threat, I will order the withdrawal of the army, and those courtiers will not underestimate me! ”

"And now ......" Zhu Yuanzhang patted the clouds under him, bared his teeth and smiled: "I think it's too interesting and fun to be with you, I don't want to go back to the palace for the time being." ”

"You ......"

What's going on? I knew that I would have let Jairus continue to carry him.

Zixian took a deep breath. suppressed the annoyance in his heart, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I know that you can't listen to what you say about the people who are in dire straits and so on, so it's better for me to change to a statement that you can understand and agree with." ”

"I don't know if the emperor has ever heard of 'fishing with all his might, won't he get it?' And next year there will be no fish. This sentence. It's like draining all the water in the pond, and you can catch all the fish in it, but what about next year? And the year after? There will never be any more fish for you to catch. ”

"It's the same with ordinary people. You can certainly take all the strong labor now and open up territory for you, but what about later? ”

"Now is the year of famine, the people are not easy, you still have to use the army in vain, isn't this forcing the people of Li to die? Have you forgotten what you got started? Do you want your people to turn against you as they do against the Mongols? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless. He doesn't have much sympathy, and he doesn't care about the lives of others, but he cares about his rule and the country in his hands.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was silent, Zixian didn't say any more. It's time for him to think about it for himself.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say a word for a long time, and in the evening, he finally spoke: "Immortal, I think, I already understand." ”

Zixian nodded: "Okay, we'll send you back." ”

"No, I want to go to Yanmen Pass to have a look."

……

The camp of the four major factions, in the tent of condensation.

Condensation Frost sat on the top, Murong Xingyun and Li Yingchun sat on the left and right of Condensation Frost respectively, and Lan Xin knelt in front of him, as well as a few pink-clothed disciples.

Zi Ling angrily pointed at Lan Xin and the others, and his little face turned red: "I said that recently, there are always some inexplicable people sneaking into my tent to steal things, even belly pockets and socks and the like!" There are also some people who follow me all the time, consciously or unconsciously, even when I go to the hut! It turns out that it was all you guys! ”

Several pink-clothed disciples looked at Zi Ling's angry appearance, trembling with fright, and begged for mercy one after another. (To be continued.) )
