Zhang Yi is Chinese New Year's Eve a year old today, he has lived for so many years, in his impression, he has never felt that an hour will be so long and short, even if he was in the ceremony of officially accepting the position of Heavenly Master last year, his mood was not as complicated as it is today.

In autumn, Shu has long been free of the heat of midsummer, but Zhang Yi feels dry and sweaty.

Lin Ze didn't urge Zhang Yi too much, and he didn't even bother him deliberately, but frequently signaled to Xuan Ming, and the two silently drank cup after cup of Shudi mountain tea.

However, an hour passed quickly, and Lin Ze said indifferently: "What is the Heavenly Master's consideration? Is it willing to dedicate his heart to the people of Shudi, or choose Mingzhe to protect his life and leave Shudi?"

Zhang Yi only felt that his whole body trembled slightly, and said bitterly: "Isn't there any other choice?

Lin Ze nodded and said: "Yes, according to the laws of Great Qin, the people of Shu need to respond to the government's call unconditionally, if the Heavenly Master Dao is really like ordinary people and is willing to accept the call, the official will immediately draft the recruitment document, if the Heavenly Master Dao refuses to respond, it will be punished for the crime of treason, does the Heavenly Master want to choose this?"

Zhang Yi was shocked, and hurriedly said: "No, no, no, my lord misunderstood, let me think about it again." ”

Lin Ze shook his head and said: "An hour has passed, this official will give you another ten breaths, within ten breaths, if you don't answer, it will be regarded as choosing all members of the Heavenly Master Dao to withdraw from Shu and never set foot in Shu again." ”

Zhang Yi's body couldn't help but pause: "My lord......"

Lin Ze ignored and said, "Ten, nine......"

Zhang Yi looked at Xuan Ming again for help, Xuan Ming had already seen that Lin Ze had made up his mind, and he was afraid that he would not be able to persuade him, so he turned his head to the side and did not look at Zhang Yi.

"Eight, seven......" Lin Ze didn't stop because of this, and continued to read.

"Three, two,......。 ”

"Slow, my lord, Xiaodao has thought it through," At the last moment, Zhang Yi hurriedly drank and stopped, if he didn't drink it, Heavenly Master Dao would really leave Shudi.

Lin Ze said disapprerovingly: "The Heavenly Master can say his choice. ”

Zhang Yi gritted his teeth slightly and said: "Heavenly Master Dao is willing to obey the dispatch of the Governor's Mansion to remove the cancer of the barbarians for Shu, and restore stability to Shu, and please allow my Heavenly Master Dao to stay in Shu." ”

Sacrificing some disciples in exchange for the benefits of the entire Heavenly Master Dao is actually not in line with the teachings of the Heavenly Master Dao, in contrast, the Heavenly Master Tao advocates reciprocity and mutual assistance rather than a "heroic" culture.

However, as a Heavenly Master Dao Heavenly Master, Zhang Yi had to consider the overall situation of Heavenly Master Dao.

Let's not say that if the Heavenly Master Dao leaves Shu, the foundation will be shaken, and ninety percent of the disciples of the Heavenly Master Dao are all Shu people, once he says that he wants to take the Heavenly Master Dao out of Shu and never come back, I am afraid that the Heavenly Master Dao will immediately separate and collapse.

There is no way to agree to surrender, after all, the conditions proposed by Lin Ze are too harsh.

Lin Ze smiled slightly: "That official will welcome the assistance of the Heavenly Master Dao on behalf of the Governor, and since the Heavenly Master Dao is under the Governor's Mansion, he can naturally travel freely in Shudi." ”

Zhang Yi was silent, just bowing his head slightly to show his submission.

Lin Ze continued: "Since the Heavenly Master has promised to help, then the official will tell the Heavenly Master about the specific matter. ”

"After the Heavenly Master returned, he immediately mobilized the disciples of the Heavenly Master Dao, selected the disciples who were skilled in Taoism, and came to Shu to stand by, and when the Governor's Mansion conquered the barbarians, he would select a certain number of Heavenly Master Dao disciples to follow. ”

"Oh, by the way, whether it is on standby or accompanying the army, you can get the Governor's Mansion martial arts cultivation resource subsidy, if there are people who have made great contributions in the army, and their qualifications are not bad, the reward resources should allow a third-grade martial artist to break through to the middle grade. ”

Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment: "There are also subsidies for cultivation resources, and there are other rewards?"

Lin Ze said disapprerovingly: "That's natural, is it possible that my Governor's Mansion will still treat his subordinates who worked hard for their own birth?" Who doesn't know that Great Qin has the most important military merits, and if the disciples of the Heavenly Master Dao can really make great achievements, this official will definitely reward them." ”

Zhang Yi thought about it, it seemed quite good to say this, at least he could give an explanation to the elders and disciples when he went back.

I only heard Zhang Yi cough lightly: "I don't know if the adults are willing to do Xiaodao a small favor?"

Lin Ze glanced at him intently and said with a smile: "Heavenly Master, please speak." ”

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Zhang Yi's face and said, "Xiao Dao doesn't want the disciples of Heavenly Master Dao to know that he was forced to assist the Governor's Mansion in conquering the barbarians, so I want to ask my lord not to tell the truth, but only announce to the outside world that Heavenly Master Dao is actively assisting the Governor's Mansion, how about it?"

Lin Ze pondered for a while, and secretly thought: "Is it better to agree or not to agree?" If you agree, the advantage is that the disciples of the Heavenly Master Dao will not feel coerced in their hearts, and they will be more attentive to assist the army in the conquest, and the high-level of the Heavenly Master Dao will also be grateful to Dade, so that they can better control the Heavenly Master Dao. ”

It's just that in this way, the mentality of the disciples of the Heavenly Master Dao will be different, and they will think that they are here to help, and they will not obey orders so obediently, which is easy to cause hidden dangers.

Vice versa.

Lin Ze thought about it repeatedly, and then refused: "No, Heavenly Master Dao disciples must obey the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion, if they are just helping, their names are not right, their words are not good, how can the Governor's Mansion mobilize Heavenly Master Dao disciples?"

In Lin Ze's view, the role of the Heavenly Master Dao was only to minimize the casualties of the Heavenly Wolf Army, so as to better achieve the role of [31 31xs.] training.

After all, veterans who have gone through several battles and do not die are more likely to become elite soldiers.

As for the thoughts of the Heavenly Master, Lin Ze didn't bother to care, for him, it was enough to get people, and it didn't matter if he didn't care about it.

If the Heavenly Master Dao dares to hold grudges because of this, it will be okay to endure it, if you can't help it, if you want to fix any moths, you can suppress it directly.

Zhang Yi whispered tentatively: "My lord, is there really no discussion?"

When Lin Ze heard this, the last bit of patience was finally exhausted, and he scolded: "For the sake of the Dao Palace, I just talked to the Heavenly Master, doesn't the Heavenly Master think that anything can be bargained?"

Zhang Yi's face was blushing, and he didn't dare to speak, but just looked at Xuan Ming.

Xuan Ming was full of helplessness, so he had to speak: "The Great Qin Mansion pays the most attention to the matter of reputation, the Heavenly Master still doesn't have to say anything more, as for the disciples of the Heavenly Master Dao, even if the sages look at the face of the Dao Palace, they will take care of one or two." ”

"If there are really Heavenly Master Dao disciples who have grudges, Poor Dao is willing to send some experienced disciples from the Dao Palace to belong to the jurisdiction of the sages along with the Heavenly Master Dao disciples. ”

"If even the disciples of the Dao Palace are willing to accept the assignment, the disciples of the Heavenly Master Dao will probably have nothing to say. ”

When Lin Ze heard this, a hint of joy appeared on his face, could it be that he also made a buy one get one free business today, if there were Dao Palace disciples to join, then the matter of saving his life would be more certain.

Zhang Yi heard Xuanming say this, so he had to nod and say, "I am willing to obey the arrangement of the adults." ”
