Lu Renshan was locked up in solitary confinement and meditated with his eyes closed.

The general and a group of senior generals were held in the next prison.

The door to the prison where the general was held was jingled open.

Jailer: "Three more will come out, who will die first?" ”

Several generals stood up: "Why are you afraid of death? ”

The jailer pulled the three generals out.

Lu Renshan was touched, opened his eyes slightly, closed them again, and continued to meditate.

The jailer entered: "Three more come out, who wants to die first?" Three more people were pulled out.

Lu Renshan couldn't hold it anymore, stood up, and wandered in the prison: "The prison is like hell, and the prison is like hell." ”

In a moment, at the lantern torch, Zhang Zhongliang and Mary entered the prison. Walked to the door of Lu Renshan's prison and stopped.

Lu Renshan said coldly: "Zhang Zhongliang, what are you looking for me?" ”

Zhang Zhongliang was indifferent: "I'm not here for you, it's just a routine inspection." After saying that, he walked away.

Lu Renshan sat down thoughtfully, and continued to meditate.

Zhang Zhongliang turned around and came back and asked the jailer, "How many people were executed today?" ”

Jailer: "Thirty people were executed today, all of them officers of more than 5,000 households. Tomorrow the execution of 10,000 households will begin. ”

Lu Renshan couldn't hold back: "Zhang Zhongliang, this king heard rumors, you are also merciful, I never thought that your husband and wife were snakes and scorpions, and they indulged in such murder. ”

Zhang Zhongliang: "The emperor has an edict, and I can't do anything." The generals in this prison will be executed one by one, and the remaining 400,000 soldiers will be buried alive in the near future. 400,000 people, people come and go, Lu Renshan, you are indispensable! ”

Lu Renshan sighed: "My fault is also." ”

Zhang Zhongliang: "I wanted to save you, but unfortunately you insisted on going your own way, making mistakes again and again." ”

Lu Renshan was surprised: "You want to save me? It's just nonsense. On the top of the main hall, I was sentenced to divide the corpse of five horses, and you want to kill a hundred people, I don't know what vicious tricks you are going to come up with to harm me? ”

Mary: "Lu Renshan, don't be ignorant. If it weren't for my husband's procrastination in front of my father, you would have become a dry corpse by this time, divided into several pieces and hung on top of the city tower, An can talk nonsense here?! ”

Zhang Zhongliang: "Lu Renshan is such a wise person, he is extremely confused. I respect your great mercy and compassion, and the original intention of the temple today is not only to save you, but also to save 400,000 living beings, and you are so stupid that you cannot be saved. After speaking, he took Mary's hand, "Let's go." He strode out of prison.

Lu Renshan was anxious: "Please stay, donkey." ”

Zhang Zhongliang: "What else do you have to say?" ”

Lu Renshan: "Is this true? Do you really want to save these 400,000 soldiers? ”

Zhang Zhongliang: "Human life is precious, how can it be the same as grass mustard? ”

Lu Renshan: "If you can save these 400,000 living beings, this king will have no regrets even if he is broken." ”

Zhang Zhongliang: "You have no regrets about breaking your bones, why are you afraid of dropping a word?" ”

Lu Renshan: "Breaking bones is a matter of righteousness, and surrender is a matter of integrity." ”

Zhang Zhongliang: "Hahaha, I understand, Lu Renshan is a vain person, this person can be honest and lose righteousness." ”

Lu Renshan: "How do you say this?" ”

Zhang Zhongliang: "Integrity is your integrity, and righteousness is related to the life and death of 400,000 people, if you are asked to choose one of Lu Renshan in front of one person's integrity and 400,000 people's righteousness, I don't know what choice you make Marshal Lu?" ”

Lu Renshan: "If you can really exchange the integrity of this handsome person for 400,000 people to survive, don't have integrity!" What is the use of mere festivals? ”

Zhang Zhongliang: "Marshal Lu had realized this earlier, why should he be tortured in this hell?" You are an enlightened man, and tell you the truth, the emperor has decided to pardon the death penalty of these 400,000 soldiers, and evacuate them to the state capitals in batches to work hard, just to restore the national strength and recuperate, and your majesty is worried, these 400,000 people will rebel again after being free, but if these people can be appeased by Marshal Lu, they will have no worries, otherwise they can only be buried alive, so as to sit back and relax. Marshal Lu is righteous, please think twice about the gains and losses here. ”

Lu Renshan: "Is that really the case? Don't joke about horses. ”

Zhang Zhongliang: "What I say is true. The 30 generals who were escorted out of prison today and died first are now outside the prison and can testify. ”

Lu Renshan: "After a few words, Lu Mou's mouth suddenly opened. In addition, Lu had a reluctant request, hoping to agree. ”

Zhang Zhongliang: "Please speak." ”

Lu Renshan: "Please release all the prisoners in prison, pardon the innocence, and Lu should be released from prison last." ”

Zhang Zhongliang glanced at Mary and motioned for her to decide.

With a wave of her hand, Mary motioned to the jailer: "What are you still doing in a daze, open all the cells and release the people." ”

The jailer is embarrassed: "This ......"

Mary: "This princess order, if Lu Renshan regrets it later, you won't have enough to cut off ten heads." ”

Jailer: "Yes." He instructed the jailers to open the cell door in turn.

Lu Renshan: "Lu Mou's words are high, thank you for your advice." ”

……

After the victory in the defense of Western Liaocheng, Zhang Zhongliang chatted with Lu Renshan and Lu Junyong, and unconsciously talked about metaphysics, and Mary and others also sat around and listened.

Lu Renshan: "As the king, since the people's livelihood is the priority, the people are the water, the king is the boat, when the horizontal waves are calm, even if the current is against the current, you can also follow the trend and go upstream." When the evil waves roll, the more downstream the more dangerous, so the boat is overturned, all in the way of the king, those who are close to the people win the hearts of the people, those who enslave the people lose the hearts of the people, those who win the hearts of the people are safe in the world, and those who lose the hearts of the people are against the world. ”

Lu Junyong: "There are thousands of bitterness and happiness in the world. The people suffer from survival, but the king takes pleasure in fooling the people, and the disparity between them is really unequal. Lu Renshan has the ambition of the world, and Lu Junyong admires it. Ha ha! Ha ha!! ”

Lu Renshan: "Brother Lu Junyong, this king has something unclear, can you ask for advice?" ”

Lu Junyong: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. Haha-"

Lu Renshan: "The people's livelihood is so miserable, Lu has not laughed for a long time, why does Brother Lu Junyong laugh when he opens his mouth?" ”

Lu Junyong: "It is also true to find joy in suffering, just because all kinds of bitterness and happiness are in laughter, so I laugh when I open my mouth, and often laugh at vulgar and ridiculous people." ”

Zhang Zhongliang added: "Brother Lu Junyong has a big belly and can tolerate the intolerable things in the world. ”

Everyone stroked their hands: "Hahahaha-"

The crowd greeted each other in the hall.

Daylight and moonlight came out of the backyard, and the two of them had finished packing, as if they were about to go on the road.

Zhang Zhongliang: "Two masters, why are you dressed like this?" ”

Nikko: "The two of us were strictly ordered by the teacher to assist the horses to save the dead and help the wounded, now that the war is over, we should go back to the mountain to restore our lives, accompany the master, and dare not disturb." ”

Zhang Zhongliang was very disappointed: "Life is impermanent, gathering and scattering in a hurry, I am inconvenient to keep, the two masters are unworldly, there is no gift in the next place, there are many good horses in the backyard, you can choose two horses to walk, don't shirk." ”

Moonlight: "The horse is willing to take it, but we and other cultivators, it is a common thing to temper the skin, and there is no need to travel, so don't pass by." ”

Nikko took out the net bottle given by the pharmacist immortal from his sleeve: "There are a few remaining Huitian pills to give to the horse, he will be of great use in the future, and the horse must not refuse." ”

Zhang Zhongliang: "This is a miracle medicine in the world, it is not easy to come back to life, it is not easy to get, all such valuable things are given to me, how can you respond to emergencies?" ”

Nikko: "I'll wait until I return to the mountain to refine it, so I don't have to worry about it." ”

Zhang Zhongliang silently took the net bottle.

Moonlight: "Everyone stays, don't send it away, it will only increase sadness." Farewell. ”

The two of them went on the road and walked towards the gate, without looking back.
