Chapter 259: Retiring from the Rivers and Lakes (Finale)
At this time, after Zhu Yuanzhang saw this situation, his face suddenly turned pale, and he was suddenly scared into a cold sweat. Dressed in a dragon robe, he had already lost his majesty as the king of a country, and in order to survive, he was willing to abandon his self-esteem and kneel to Long Xiaotian like a dog slave and beg for mercy.
"The leader spares his life, the leader spares his life. ”
"Hmph, if you want me to spare your life, unless my brother-in-law Chang Yuchun comes back to life, you go to hell to find him to repent!"
When he was about to slap Zhu Yuanzhang's head with a palm and kill him, Ma Xiuying appeared behind him at this time and shouted: "Childe, stop, you can't kill him." ”
Long Xiaotian turned his head at this time, and saw that Ma Xiuying was wearing a phoenix crown at this time, and when she became the queen, she did have a bit of the image of a mother.
"Horse girl?"
Ma Xiuying walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's side at this time, helped him up, and said to Long Xiaotian: "Childe, although Yuan Zhang, he forced you away, took away your position as the sect leader, and killed your righteous brother and did something sorry for you, but if you kill him, it will be harmful to the whole world. ”
"Oh, is it?
"Now that I have decided that the country is still poor and weak, and the people are in urgent need of recuperation, if you kill Yuan Zhang, Chen Youliang and other remnants of the rebel army will take the opportunity to rebel, and the world will inevitably fall into chaos again, and the situation of competing with each other! When you were the head of the sect that day, didn't you wholeheartedly hope to restore the Han people's country and follow your master's teachings to serve the country and the people? If you kill him, it will not help, but it will only add to the war and bring disaster to the country and the people! It is easy to kill the emperor, but it is very difficult to save the people in the world!"
Ma Xiuying's words quickly moved Long Xiaotian, making Long Xiaotian completely let go of his murderous intent and dispelled the idea of killing Zhu Yuanzhang.
So he turned his back to Ma Xiuying and looked up at the silent night outside the window, and sighed to the sky: "Brother Yi, I can never avenge you, Brother Yi is ashamed of your spirit in the sky." But if you need stability today, if you kill Zhu Yuanzhang, the world will be in chaos, and the people will live in dire straits again, but if you don't kill him, I will violate the relationship between me and you, what should I do!"
After saying this, Long Xiaotian turned around again, and then slapped Zhu Yuanzhang's chest with a fierce palm, and completely shattered the dragon robe worn by Zhu Yuanzhang with internal force.
Then he withdrew his palm power and said to Zhu Yuanzhang expressionlessly: "This palm is for my brother-in-law, for the sake of the common people in the world, I will use the dragon robe as a substitute, just when you are killed by my palm." Zhu Yuanzhang, I can not kill you today, but you have to do one thing for me. ”
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly arched his arm and said in a panic: "Thank you for the sect master's grace of not killing, if the sect leader has any orders, his subordinates must do it, and they will do it." ”
"What I want you to do is to transport the body of my brother-in-law Chang Yuchun back to Nanjing for a good burial, and treat his children and grandchildren well, so that his children and grandchildren will receive the emperor's favor for generations and be hereditary. ”
"Yes, Master. The subordinates must do so. ”
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang had agreed to him, Long Xiaotian decided to leave, and when he was about to leave, he looked back at Ma Xiuying again and said, "Miss Ma, you have to assist him to be a good emperor in the future." ”
After saying that, he left the imperial city like a gust of wind.
A few days later, Zhu Yuanzhang officially ordered that Chang Yuchun's body be transported back to Nanjing to be buried in Purple Mountain, and posthumously named him the king of Kaiping, and his descendants were hereditary and replaced.
Almost another month has passed, Long Xiaotian and Wu Min have come to Mobei to realize their desire to live in seclusion, herd horses and sheep, and get a piece of land, a house and a home under the gift of the Northern Yuan Emperor.
At this time, Long Xiaotian was already dressed in Mongolian clothes and had a Mongolian hairstyle to become a real Mongolian, and now he was driving the sheep on a vast grassland with Wu Min and the others until dusk, and after being tired, he sat on the turquoise grass and chatted together.
"On that day, you wanted to avenge your brother-in-law and sneaked into the palace to kill Zhu Yuanzhang, why didn't you do it?"
Long Xiaotian shook his head and replied, "It's not that I don't want to kill him, it's that I can't kill him." ”
"Why can't you kill him?"
"Because killing him will cause chaos in the world, now the Han people are in dire need of recuperation, and they need a wise monarch like him to govern the government, if I kill him, I will become a historical sinner. And he also promised me to bury my righteous brother well, so that his children and grandchildren can enjoy the emperor's grace for generations, and that's all I can do. ”
At this time, Wu Min changed the topic and said with a smile: "I can't imagine that the Great Sect Master of Long, who once took it as his mission to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty and restore the Han people, has become an ordinary person under the rule of the Northern Yuan Kingdom today, it's really ironic." ”
After finishing speaking, she looked at the traditional Mongolian costume that Long Xiaotian was wearing, and asked, "Hey, are you still used to wearing this dress?"
Long Xiaotian shook his head with a smile and replied, "I'm not used to it, I grew up wearing Han clothes, so I'm not used to wearing such clothes." But I am originally a Mongolian, of course I should be a real Mongolian, get used to the life of Mongolians, and follow the customs of the country. ”
"In the future, you must not only get used to living a Mongolian life, but also get used to speaking our Mongolian language, otherwise you will not be able to become a real Mongolian with a single Mongolian language!"
"Hehe, that's that. But after all, I was raised by the Han people, and occasionally I miss the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River and the life of the Han people. ”
When you miss the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, we will go south to live there in the Central Plains for a while. ”
After finishing speaking, Wu Min looked up at the sky happily at the moment, remembering her past experience, and now looking back on it like a dream, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I am a person who does not believe in the destiny of heaven, from the moment I fell in love with you, it was destined that the two of us could not be together forever, but I didn't accept my fate and gave up too many things, but in the end I got you." ”
"Yes, I feel like I've had a dream after so many things, I thought it was impossible to fall in love with you, but now it's possible, and I've become a Mongolian, it seems that I love you both as a destiny. Now that you have met your father, the Emperor, and he has generously rewarded us with a vacant land, sheep and a house, we can live happily here. Although he lost the splendid rivers and mountains of the Central Plains, he still served as his Northern Yuan Emperor in Mobei, which can be regarded as a loss and a gain. ”
"Yes! That might be the best ending for him. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Min suddenly took out the unused one of the three hibiscus golden needles that Long Xiaotian gave her that day from her pocket and asked, "Brother Long, you gave me three hibiscus golden needles that day, each of which represents one of my wishes, do you remember?"
Long Xiaotian nodded and replied: "Remember, remember, you asked me to take you to Nanao Island to see the treasure of the Great Song Dynasty that day, but I took you there, and I also took you to kill Chen Youliang, what other wishes do you want to make for this last hibiscus golden needle?"
Wu Min thought about it for a moment in his mind, and then said: "When I was young, I dreamed of riding a horse and whipping with my beloved, chasing the fiery sun at dusk, and my last wish now is to ride a horse and whip with you, and chase the fiery red sun on the grassland at this time. ”
Long Xiaotian took the hibiscus golden needle and took Wu Min's hand, then stood up and said with a smile: "No problem, from now on, we will ride our horses and whip at this time every day and chase the fiery sun!"
After that, they each mounted a white steed and rode in the direction of the sun until they disappeared into the mesmerizing beauty of the mesmerizing evening after dusk.
