Zhao Min has a strong nature and a noble background, and he can't be said to be arrogant in the face of ordinary people, but he can also be said to be superior to others.

Even in the face of other Mongolian princes and nobles, and even her brother and father, she has never been at a complete disadvantage like facing Meng Xiuyuan today.

Subconsciously, she wanted to casually make up a few truths to quibble about Meng Xiuyuan's solemn questioning.

But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.

Because, in the past ten years, she has really seen the lives of the Li people under the rule of the Great Yuan Court, and knows what kind of life they live.

Pestilence, famine, drought, conscription, bandits, bad officials.

Zhao Min has tried to use the power of the Ruyang Royal Mansion to rectify everything.

At the beginning, Zhao Min just wanted to prove that Meng Xiuyuan's words were wrong, and to prove that it was not the Yuan court that had problems, but only the incompetence of individual corrupt officials and corrupt officials, coupled with bad luck, and natural disasters often befell them, so it led to the difficulties of people's livelihood.

But gradually, in the process, after investigating the details on the spot, she realized that things were far from being as simple as she had thought.

Zhao Min thinks she is smart and thinks that if she is born as a man, she will be able to achieve a great career, so she does not give up in the face of these difficulties, but tries to solve the complex problems every time.

But the results are often unsatisfactory, even if she tries her best to wait for her to be defeated again and again.

For Zhao Min, who is only seventeen or eighteen years old, the ten years after her chance acquaintance with Meng Xiuyuan can be regarded as occupying most of her life.

And the short hijacking of ten days made Zhao Min's life trajectory deviate greatly from the original.

At this time, Zhao Min, who had seen the suffering of the world, was no longer the little county lord who only thought about arguing with Meng Xiuyuan.

"Let's have a drink."

Zhao Min frowned and held back for a long time, but finally just held back such a sentence. Taking a deep breath, he lifted the flask and poured wine into the glasses of the two of them.

Meng Xiu saw Zhao Min's hesitation and struggle, and understood that her distress was due to her helplessness about the suffering of the people, and she really changed her temperament.

So I couldn't help but change my opinion of it greatly, and I had a good impression, and took the initiative to mention a glass of wine:

"Okay, I'll salute you for this cup."

After that, the two raised their glasses one after another and drank all the liquor in the cup

For the next period of time, the two of them were like real acquaintances and friends, drinking and shabu-shabu, occasionally chatting a few words, and talking about inconsequential things.

After a while, the three catties of soju with a high degree of alcohol were almost drunk, whether it was Meng Xiuyuan, who was strong in martial arts, or Zhao Min, who had a good amount of alcohol, they were a little more drunk.

"Haha, look at the way you look now, it's a little more pleasing to the eye.

If you continue to use your skills, I will ignore you."

Zhao Min pointed at Meng Xiuyuan's face, which was slightly red from alcohol, and said with a smile. Immediately, she turned to the side and called out loudly:

"Come on, bring another three catties of wine......

"Little county lord, let's not drink anymore."

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head slightly and stopped Zhao Min.

"What, you're in a hurry to see that dragon slayer again? ….

Hmph, a broken knife, what's so nice.

With your kung fu, big brother, if you don't have that knife, isn't it the supreme martial arts?

Don't care so much about what it's for......

Zhao Min was a little angry when he heard Meng Xiuyuan's words, snorted angrily, and looked to the side as if he didn't want to pay attention to Meng Xiuyuan.

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head helplessly and explained:

"I didn't mean that, I'm just afraid that you're drinking too much at a girl's house."

Zhao Min was stunned when he heard Meng Xiuyuan's words, and stared at Meng Xiuyuan with a pair of beautiful eyes, the emotions in his eyes were changing and complicated, as if he remembered many things.

"What's wrong?" Meng Xiuyuan was a little uncomfortable stared at by this Zhao Min, and couldn't help but interrupt.

"Big brother, this is the first time you've spoken to me well, and you didn't treat me like an enemy.

It's really not easy."

Zhao Min looked at Meng Xiuyuan and said with some emotion.

"Really...... Perhaps.

Weren't we enemies before?

To you, a cunning little lord, you should speak harshly."

Meng Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he thought about it for a moment before he smiled brightly and said funny to her.

I don't know if it was the stimulation of alcohol, or because of the great contrast between Meng Xiuyuan's attitude before and after, Zhao Min saw Meng Xiuyuan smile sincerely at her for the first time, and suddenly felt that her face was hot, and her heart couldn't stop pounding.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Min's pale face was even more red, and she unconsciously touched it, and indeed her two cheeks were a little hot.

"Uncomfortable?" Meng Xiu saw that Zhao Min suddenly behaved strangely, and asked.

"No, the fire is burning too hot, and I'm a little hot......

Zhao Min shook his head and explained perfunctorily, then lowered his head and stroked the wine glass in his hand, and was silent for a while.

After a long time, when she raised her head again, she suddenly changed the topic and asked Meng Xiuyuan:

"By the way, big brother. How is the Yang woman who was with you back then?

At that time, I saw the two of you holding hands all day long, and after ten years, I have never heard that you are married to her."

"Don't talk nonsense, it's not like you don't know, I was just here to heal her while traveling."

Listening to Zhao Min's slightly yin and yang strange question, Meng Xiuyuan frowned slightly and breathed a sigh of relief:

"As for Miss Yang...... We haven't seen each other for 10 years."

"I haven't seen you for ten years, how can you be, who can you deceive. Unless she's dead?"

Zhao Min pursed his lips, but he didn't believe Meng Xiuyuan's words very much, and stared at Meng Xiuyuan's eyes and asked.

"No, it's her who wants to retreat and practice martial arts, and I have a lot of important things to do.

That's why we haven't had time to meet each other."

Meng Xiuyuan looked to the side and said in a surging voice.

"I really haven't seen each other in ten years?" Zhao Min couldn't stop asking.

"Nope." Meng Xiuyuan replied softly.

"Haha, it seems that you, big brother, don't really like that Yang woman.

Otherwise, no matter how busy you are, how can you not even see each other for ten years?

I want to be alone and can't see it, but I can't endure it for so long when I torture it all the time." ….

Zhao Min looked very happy when he heard this, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.

Meng Xiuyuan Xu was also slightly drunk, and when Zhao Min said this, he couldn't help but feel a little dull in his heart, and shook his hand and said perfunctorily:

"Don't talk about it, it's none of your business."

Hearing Meng Xiuyuan say this, Zhao Min was not angry, but clapped his hands suddenly.

As her applause fell, she saw a strong and fierce Mongolian man walking in from the side hall of the shop, holding a bright yellow velvet plate with a strange-looking knife on the plate.

The knife was pitch black and dark, and it was inconspicuous at first glance, as if there was nothing unusual. But when you look closely, you can see that it is not gold or iron, I don't know what it is made of, and the edge occasionally flashes coldly, revealing a moving breath.

The man was originally walking towards Zhao Min, but as soon as he was halfway there, Zhao Min stretched out his finger and asked him to directly present the knife to Meng Xiuyuan:

"Big brother, don't care, I'm talking nonsense. Don't you want to look at the Dragon Slayer Knife, take a closer look."

Meng Xiuyuan glanced at Zhao Min when he heard this, and saw that her expression was calm, not as if she was joking, so he simply didn't be polite to her, and reached out to pick up the dragon slaying knife.

This knife is heavy in the hand, at least a few dozen catties in weight, Meng Xiuyuan picked up a piece of wood from the table and quickly touched it on the blade, without using any strength, he saw that the fast son had been broken into two.

"Well, this should be the Dragon Slayer Knife." Meng Xiu was far away

Nodding his head, he affirmed.

"Big brother, don't you want to ask where I got this knife from?" Zhao Min asked Meng Xiuyuan.

Meng Xiuyuan was silent when he heard this, and did not answer.

In fact, Meng Xiuyuan had thought about this question before he came.

It's just that at this time, Zhang Cuishan and his wife are safe and sound on Wudang Mountain, and Zhang Wuji is also following the Ming Sect to move without any danger, since this Zhao Min can get the knife, he should just happen to find the trace of the golden lion king Xie Xun, and it has nothing to do with the Wudang faction.

For this Xie Xun, Meng Xiuyuan's view is more complicated. Although he sympathizes with the tragic death of his parents, wife and children, he is also very unaccustomed to his indiscriminate killing of innocent people, and feels that he really can't escape the position of a "murderer".

Therefore, Meng Xiuyuan has not taken the initiative to ignore him, which can be regarded as a compromise for the sake of Zhang Cuishan's family's face. At this time, what is the intersection between Zhao Min and the Yuan court behind her and this Xie Xun, Meng Xiuyuan doesn't want to pay attention to it.

Zhao Min first waved his hand to let the man who gave the knife retreat, and then saw that Meng Xiuyuan did not speak, so he took the initiative to speak again:

"What do you say, 'Martial Arts Supreme, Treasure Sword Slaying Dragon, I have been holding this knife for a long time, but I haven't studied any doorway.

I don't know how to use a knife, I can't even carry this knife with a lot of weight, and I don't know why you martial arts people are so rare.

Big brother, if you can see it, take this knife away."

Meng Xiuyuan's face was grim, he only felt that this knife was a little hot, and asked Zhao Min seriously:

"How could you be so kind, there must be some conditions?"

Zhao Min smiled slightly, did not quibble, and said calmly:

"If this knife can be exchanged for a condition that the eldest brother has promised, it will be good." ….

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head when he heard this, put the dragon slaying knife in his hand on the table with a "clang", and said to Zhao Min:

"Forget it, I probably won't be able to do your conditions."

I didn't think that Zhao Min didn't give up, pestered Meng Xiuyuan and said:

"What's the hurry, it's not too late to listen to me first."

Immediately, without waiting for Meng Xiuyuan to answer, she continued to ask:

"Big brother, do you know what my ambition was when I was a child?"

Meng Xiuyuan didn't understand why Zhao Min suddenly asked this topic, he groaned slightly, and then replied softly:

"I don't know."

Zhao Min pointed to the dragon slaying knife on the table, and said aloud with great momentum:

"Since I was a child, I have wanted to be like my ancestors, fighting on the battlefield and expanding my territory.

My ancestors were Genghis Khan the Great, and they were great heroes such as Tulei, Batu, Hulegu, and Kublai Khan.

I only hate that I'm a woman, if it's a man, hehe, I really want to do a big job vigorously."

"Oh." Meng Xiuyuan responded, then stopped talking and waited for Zhao Min to follow.

Sure enough, the next sentence was a 180-degree turn.

"But you know, all of this has changed since I met you?"

As Zhao Min spoke, his face was restrained, but he gradually covered it with a melancholy look. She poured all the remaining bits of base from the flask into her glass, and then drank it all:

"The words you said to me kept going round and round in my head.

What 'the court didn't give the people a way to live, forcing the people to rebel.', 'The Mongols were mediocre and brutal, but in a hundred years, the world was in chaos and the people were not able to make a living.

I tried hard to prove that what you said was wrong.

But I couldn't do it.

That's when I realized that you might indeed be a good person and really didn't lie to me.

So since then, I no longer want to be involved in my father and brother's affairs, and I don't want to be embarrassed by those miserable people in the world who can't survive.

Even a few years ago, my father took the initiative to give me power, so that I could use the help of many masters in the house to deal with the heroes of the Central Plains Martial Arts, but I also took it as a reason that I was not interested

I refused, which made my father a little disappointed in me......

At this point, Zhao Min stood up suddenly, walked to within three feet of Meng Xiuyuan, stared at Meng Xiuyuan's eyes and said:

"But big brother, have you ever thought for me, what am I going to do?

I am a Mongol after all, and I am the lord of the Great Yuan court.

Is it just because the court is not clear and the people of the world are suffering, that I have to sit and wait for my death, and wait with a smile for these traitors and thieves to come and kill my head?"

At the end, Zhao Min's starry eyes couldn't help but show a trace of grief and sorrow, staring at Meng Xiuyuan's eyes as if seeking an answer.

And Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but fall silent after listening to Zhao Min's long list of words.

For a while, he didn't know how to answer Zhao Min's words logically.

Seeing Meng Xiuyuan like this, Zhao Min pointed to the dragon slaying knife again, and then said seriously:

"Big brother, I would like to give you this dragon slaying knife, just ask you to help me with an idea.

What am I supposed to do in this world? ….

What can be done to reassure both conscience and life?

What can I do so that you don't have to worry about me anymore?"

Zhao Min asked three times in a row, and the questions were sincere, making it difficult for Meng Xiuyuan to remain silent anymore.

Therefore, Meng Xiuyuan took a deep breath, looked up at Zhao Min, and said calmly:

"Little county lord, I don't know how to be appropriate.

Just for the sake of helping hundreds of people in the past ten years, I would like to talk to you about my heart.

The Great Yuan court has run out of energy, and this time it will be difficult to suppress the Han people who revolted.

You'd better make arrangements for yourself and go to the grassland.

I think that with the strength of your Ruyang Palace, no matter how bad it is, it is possible to let you spend your life in peace and prosperity.

The general trend is like this, and it is not one or two people who can stop it.

The sooner you accept the facts, the more peace and joy you will be able to live in the future."

When Zhao Min heard this, with her intelligence, she naturally saw that what Meng Xiuyuan said was indeed all from her heart, and it was all for her sake.

But the more this happened, the more sad she felt in her heart, and she couldn't help but pull Meng Xiuyuan's hand:

"Is there really no possibility of reconciliation among them?"

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head when he heard this, pushed her hand away without a trace, and said sincerely:

"Not now, I think so.

Perhaps it will not be until a few hundred years from now, when we Mongolian and Han Chinese can truly be like brothers and live together in harmony."

Not at the end of the world
