Qin Qing's face changed, and she also discovered that this homeless person was really afraid that he was really determined to die!

After Ma Dalong received the order, he was about to go to the stern of the boat, when he heard a huge "poof" sound from the other side, and quickly turned his head to look, but saw that there was still half a figure on the embankment where the original displaced people were!

Lu Yunzhou's shouts came--

"Ma Dalong, don't go looking for someone, go into the water immediately to save people!"

"Yes...... Yes, Yushuai! ”

Ma Dalong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly began to skillfully take off his armor robe and untie his blade, and a fierce man plunged into the water and swam towards the person who fell into the water.

The fighters who were swimming in the rear also noticed the movement and swam towards the suicide one after another.

With the joint efforts of the soldiers in the water, the suicide was quickly rescued, and Xiao Yuetan, a strategist and military doctor, also heard the news and rushed over, but saw that the suicide had been under the guidance of Lu Yunzhou, and asked Ma Dalong to use artificial respiration to revive the person.

Lu Yunzhou saw that the people had been successfully rescued, so he ordered people to take this homeless person down to take care of him.

In this process, Qin Qing has been watching from the sidelines, she is very confused at the moment, she really can't understand what kind of person Lu Yunzhou is, saying that he is indifferent and ruthless, but he has been personally saving the dead and helping the poor, saying that he is benevolent, but he speaks for a tyrant like Wei Jun, and also refutes the benevolent government passed down by the sages.

After the person was rescued, everything on the boat returned to its original state, the soldiers who rescued people returned to the water to go to the waves, Xiao Yuetan went to find a float to win a game of chess, Lu Yunzhou stretched his waist, and lazily returned to the bow, and continued to lean on the side of the boat to watch the scenery, Qin Qing hesitated, and followed Lu Yunzhou to the bow again.

The only change was that after watching the fleet's good deeds of rescuing the displaced people from the water, the other homeless people on the shore noticed the situation, and by this time many homeless people had already begun to follow the fleet on the shore!

Qin Qing looked at the light of hope shining in the eyes of the wanderers who were originally like walking corpses on the shore, and couldn't help but feel a strong emotion, and said softly: "Does Qi Gongzi hate Qin Qing?" Why do you say such things when you are obviously a good person, so that I can misunderstand and alienate you! ”

Lu Yunzhou smiled when he heard this, looked sideways at Qin Qing, and chuckled: "Miss Qin, don't misunderstand, what you say below is all heartfelt words, but you don't agree with Wei Jun's tyranny, this is just a judgment based on reason!" ”

Qin Qing was stunned for a moment, but this time he didn't get angry immediately, but said in surprise: "Shu Qin Qing is stupid, I don't know where Qi Gongzi judges?" ”

Lu Yunzhou sighed lightly and said slowly in a deep voice: "In this troubled era of cannibalism, big countries have the road to self-improvement of big countries, but small countries also have ways to survive small countries. For a weak country, the only way to survive is to enjoy the shade with your back to a big tree! However, for small countries, the big tree behind them is also dangerous, so only by doing their best to curry favor with all the big countries around them, and if one country attacks, it needs to immediately find a way to gain the support of the other country, and seek the protection of the big countries with a balanced situation, so as to try to ......survive in the cracks."

Qin Qing nodded lightly, she can understand this point of view, after all, her hometown Ba County, once as a small country, when the war with Shu State, the two sides sent envoys to Qin State at the same time to ask for help, but she didn't expect that King Qin Huiwen at that time took the opportunity to open his bloody mouth and send troops to swallow all the two countries of Bashu in one go!

Unable to survive and protect itself, it can only be at the mercy of a big country, this is the sorrow of being a small country in troubled times!

Ba and Shu did not do long-sleeved dancing, left and right, wandering and swaying between the big powers, and it was just a matter of snipe and clam fighting, and they were stupid enough to take the initiative to let Qin State peek through the weakest moment, and the ending was naturally sadly profited by the fisherman!

If Ba and Shu were smart enough to immediately seek the help of neighboring Chu when Qin came to attack, Chu would inevitably not be able to sit idly by and watch Qin grow, once Chu sent troops to intervene, I am afraid that Qin might not be able to swallow two huge pieces of fat in one go!

Thinking of this, Qin Qing sighed lightly in his heart, it's a pity that there was no person of insight like Lu Yunzhou among the rulers of Ba and Shu at that time, otherwise today's Bashu would not have to be oppressed and exploited by the Qin State everywhere!

Lu Yunzhou's words were originally intended to arouse Qin Qing's association with the past events of Ba and Shu back then, in order to cultivate her sense of trust and dependence on herself, and at this moment she keenly captured the reflection and gloom in Qin Qing's eyes, and she was happy in her heart, but she did not break it, smiled slightly, and continued:

"But for a big country, everything is based on interests, even if it will shelter a small country for the sake of balancing the situation, how can it help a weak country like Weiguo for free? In order to hold the thick legs of the great powers, Wei Jun must inevitably bribe the big countries with blood and money, so that the big powers can temporarily stop the pace of annexing the country. And when the situation is chaotic today, if a weak country like Weiguo wants to survive all the time, it must often change its door, ride on the wall and watch, and be forced to be the wall grass swaying in the wind, and this undoubtedly adds to the burden of diplomatic spending! In order to bribe the big countries with a lot of money, the only way for Wei Jun to be a big country is to scrape the ground and gather the people's fat and ointment! ”

Lu Yunzhou paused, saw that Qin Qing was fascinated by what he heard, shook his head and said with a smile: "But even if such tyranny makes the people of the country everywhere and the people wail, the treasury of the monarch may not be able to produce much more wealth and food, just because the financial resources of the country are used to curry favor with the big country." I am afraid that the imperial court of the defense of the country will not even be able to raise the army of the capital, otherwise they will not allow them to wantonly harass and plunder the people and shake the foundation of the rule. ”

Qin Qing frowned as light as a crescent moon, and sighed lightly: "It's just that this is just drinking to quench your thirst, using this way to continue the national fortune, and when the people are exploited, the final fate of defending the country is still not escapable!" ”

Qin Qing was very disappointed in her heart, although the past had passed, she was still inevitably sad, could it be that for a small country, there was really no way to preserve it?

Lu Yunzhou smiled and said: "It's just drinking to quench your thirst!" But for Wei Jun, if he governs the country well, does not exploit the people, and accumulates wealth to serve the great powers, the country will perish in an instant; For Wei Jun, since his country will perish sooner or later, he will naturally only care about whether he can enjoy the supreme honor of being a monarch for a few more years! ”8)
