Longevity begins with a proud smile

In fact, Prince Ruyang and his son knew that Zhuo Lingfeng valued love and justice, and they both knew that today all the heroes in the world were gathered here. Because of Zhao Min, it would be of great benefit to them no matter who lost or won.

Therefore, the purpose of Prince Ruyang and his son was not to annihilate the martial arts heroes, but to provoke this battle.

However, Zhuo Lingfeng never looked at problems from a political perspective, not to mention that he still knew something about Wang Baobao.

In the original trajectory, King Ruyang died in an assassination by the rebels, and Wang Baobao successfully accepted the political legacy. Later, after a struggle, he became a powerful minister of the Yuan Dynasty and took full power.

But at this moment, Zhuo Lingfeng saw Wang Baobao's hidden ambition, and he was willing to sacrifice tens of millions of lives to provoke this war.

After all, they are fighting on the battlefield, and people are like grass.

Wang Baobao only thought about what he could gain from this battle. As for the life and death of others, he didn't care at all.

On the other hand, Zhuo Lingfeng's cognition is extremely unique. His mention of those historical celebrities with great talents and strategies just now is not without purpose.

Not to mention his journey through time and the backlash he suffered when he assassinated Kublai Khan in the world of Kunlun. The history he was familiar with made him extremely confident in destiny.

Because throughout the ages, there have been those who were able to achieve great achievements. Whether it is a general who leads an army or an emperor of a dynasty, there is no one who is not without disaster.

In ancient times, the most famous, capable, and prestigious commanders in charge of armies were none other than Bai Qi, Han Xin, and Xiang Yu. There are also those male tiger generals, such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others.

Not only did these people not have a good death, but all died violently, what's more, they had no heirs at all.

Even those who had heirs were liquidated and retaliated against because of him, and the entire family disappeared in the tide of history.

For example, the "Soldier Immortals" Han and Xin clans were wiped out.

As for the founding emperors, Qian Gang was arbitrary and in charge of the life and death of thousands of people, but could not control the death of his own relatives.

The first emperor of Qin lost all his children and his bloodline was cut off. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty lost his son in his later years. Madam Qi, the beloved woman of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, was made into a human pig by Empress Lu, and his favorite son Liu Ruyi was also poisoned to death.

Although Empress Lu was in charge of the political power, her son was separated from her and died young. Once she herself died, the entire Lu family was slaughtered.

Tang Gaozu, Tang Taizong, Tang Xuanzong all experienced the pain of losing a son, etc.

Even Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, who expelled Mongolia and restored Chinese clothes, his eldest son Zhu Biao, his second son King Qin, his third son King Jin, and the emperor's eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying all died before him.

Ren Lao Zhu's heart was as hard as iron, and the pain and torture of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person left him, Zhu Yuanzhang, unable to do anything.

The Jurchen Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, their children were also in trouble. All of this is just like the "dynasty cycle rate", like a curse that no one can break.

Zhuo Lingfeng thought about this more than once in his previous life, especially when he had the "Lucky Pearl" and had such a time-traveling journey.

He just thought that those people were called the True Dragon Emperor in ancient times, but their words and deeds had a profound impact, and tens of millions of people paid their lives because of their decisions.

As the saying goes, "When a hero draws his sword, the common people suffer disaster!".

In other words, no matter right or wrong, each of them has blood on their hands, so disasters come from heaven.

Those people have been killed for a long time and are invulnerable to gods and ghosts, but their own relatives are not like this, which is why these sufferings have fallen on them.

Because of this, Zhuo Lingfeng was extremely in awe of life, or the way of heaven.

He never kills indiscriminately unless absolutely necessary. He also understands that people like himself are not suitable to participate in the kind of world hegemony where even relatives can be killed for the sake of power.

Prince Ruyang and his son only felt that there was something in Zhuo Lingfeng's words, but they couldn't figure it out.

Wang Baobao said: "Those who dominate the world only have strong soldiers and horses and strong ears! The idea of ​​caring for the people is nothing more than the words of those Confucian scholars. How can it be taken seriously? Is it possible that our huge foundation in Mongolia is really obtained by caring for the people?"

King Ruyang sat down, touched his long beard on his chin, and looked at Zhuo Lingfeng with profound meaning.

Zhuo Lingfeng looked at Wang Baobao, then at King Ruyang, then at Wang Baobao, and suddenly smiled and said: "You pride yourself on your versatility in both civil and military affairs and your ambition to dominate the world, but you don't know that to conquer the world, strong soldiers and horses are not the most important thing.

Because if you want to have a strong army and strong horses, you need supplies. This is also motivated by profit. Once it is profitable, you will be a mother if you have milk. You can betray anything. Isn’t the world full of military disasters every day? Who can sit on it? Stabilize the country?

Just say that during Genghis Khan's conquest in the past, some tribe bullied my tribe, or the other party was cruel and unkind. This is of course to awaken the resentment of the soldiers, but it is also to put myself on the side of justice! "

"Haha!" Wang Baobao sneered: "So Genghis Khan's great achievements were achieved through justice?"

"I didn't say how just he is." Zhuo Lingfeng smiled faintly: "I'm telling you a truth, the most important thing in using military force is morality!

In the past, Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, only had one pavilion in Surabaya and was not as good as Xiang Yu in everything, but he was able to build up the Han Dynasty and forced Xiang Yu to kill himself in Wujiang River.

Xiang Yu was born into a noble family with a well-educated family, and he was like a god in the military. His bravery was said to be unparalleled throughout the ages. However, the reason why he committed suicide in Wujiang was because of his violent nature. He often massacred cities, and killed Qin Jiang's 200,000 people. He committed many unjust acts. , completely lost the hearts of the world.

Every time a battle is fought, the number of soldiers will become smaller and smaller. Therefore, the defeated army is unable to recover and can only commit suicide.

On the other hand, Liu Bang made three chapters to win the hearts and minds of the people, so he was able to rise again and again with constant troops, and finally destroyed Xiang Yu and established the Han Dynasty for 400 years.

The same goes for Liu Bei in later generations. He failed and rose again and again. Didn't he just tell the people of the world that only a true teacher of benevolence and righteousness would not worry him even if he lost first, because there will always be a day when he becomes weak and becomes strong, and he loses first and then wins!

Zhuo himself dare not claim to be benevolent and righteous, but what I do in my life is to have a clear conscience.

Because of that, you can be confident and invincible!

It's ridiculous that you only pursue strong soldiers and horses, but the most important thing for an army is to have a soul. This is the soul of the army.

These are volunteers too!

You don't even understand such simple principles, and you still want to get involved in the world. For the sake of family planning, don't be so wild-minded, so as not to bring disaster to the family! "

Wang Baobao glared and raised his eyebrows, his brows filled with anger. King Ruyang winked at him and said, "What a man with a clear conscience, righteousness and invincibility!"

"It's well said. Back then, the Song Dynasty was corrupt and the people were in dire straits. Emperor Shizu punished the people and fought for the people of the world. When the troops arrived at Lin'an, one hundred thousand soldiers and civilians disarmed. From then on, the Song Dynasty was gone. This is certainly a sign of the uprightness of our Mongolian troops. Rui, only if we work together and are confident can we be invincible!"

Zhuo Lingfeng snorted and said: "My lord, you want me to lead the heroes of the Central Plains to fight with you. No matter who wins or loses, the other party can gain political capital and lay a strong foundation for future development.

Even if I agree, it is beneficial.

As the old saying goes: A gentleman is likened to righteousness, and a villain is likened to benefit. If it is beneficial, it will be united, and if the benefit is exhausted, it will be scattered. Are you really not afraid of backlash? "

Wang Baobao said coldly: "Brother-in-law, you are a true hero, and naturally you have a righteous heart, but these heroic words can only deceive ignorant people.

You know, no matter whether it is an individual, a nation, or even a country, if it loses its ambition, it will be like a zombie.

You keep asking me and my father to retreat to Mobei, because you know that the various Mongolian tribes are scheming with each other. I waited until I arrived in Mobei. Now that my energy is intact, I will inevitably fall into a turf war and fight with each other. In this way, I will not be able to do it again. Entered the Central Plains.

If things go on like this and become poor and weak, we in Mongolia will no longer be able to go south, and we will be trapped in this vast grassland forever. "

He paused and said quietly: "At that time, you Zhuo Lingfeng was the great hero of your Han family, and your name will go down in history. But we, father and son, were the great sinners of Mongolia, and will be infamy for thousands of years. This is what you hope for most, right? "

Zhuo Lingfeng sneered and said, "You and I swear together today that we will go into seclusion and never pay attention to the Han-Mongolian dispute again. Do you dare or not?"

Wang Baobao felt silent.

"I'm afraid that I, Zhuo, can let go of everything and live in seclusion in the mountains, but you can't let go of this glory and wealth!"

Zhuo Lingfeng said casually: "You have courage and are a rare talent in Mongolia today. You are naturally talented and ambitious. Therefore, you have a good relationship with the prince of the dynasty and want to be a powerful minister one day. If the opportunity allows, you may not be able to do so." Go further and become Mongolia’s unparalleled hero.”

He paused for a moment, and then the sparkle in his eyes soared: "But as soon as the hero draws his sword, the world will suffer ten years of calamity. There will be reincarnation everywhere, and disaster will surely come!"

"So what?" Wang Baobao said coldly.

Zhuo Lingfeng said coldly: "But today is different from the past. You are not Genghis Khan, and you cannot be Kublai Khan! A stupid donkey and a wooden ox have the courage of a tiger. What do you think?"

These words, carrying a gun and a stick, made Wang Baobao's veins bulge in anger, and he turned to look at King Ruyang.

King Ruyang's face was as calm as water, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Wang Baobao smiled bitterly, turned his head and said, "Zhuo Lingfeng, I just don't resent the inheritance of my ancestors being handed over to others, so naturally I have to do my best for this. As for powerful ministers, that is something I would never dare to think about. How could I not know that since ancient times? The truth is that powerful ministers will never achieve good results!"

"Brother, there is no need to bow down." Zhuo Lingfeng said: "How can things in this world be as everyone wants? Some things will be pushed by the current situation, and how can it be left to personal choice!

But now that your father-in-law is still here, it is unknown whether the Timur family can be used by you! "

These words were extremely lethal, implying that Wang Baobao wanted the death of King Ruyang and wanted to take over the political power.

Wang Baobao immediately said angrily: "You are talking nonsense. This dispatch of troops is the emperor's holy order. How can I have such dirty thoughts!"

Zhuo Lingfeng smiled lightly and said: "Those who play politics have a dirty mind. As long as there is a profit, it is not uncommon for fathers to kill their sons. It is not uncommon for fathers to kill their sons.

If your father-in-law dies fighting against Yuan Ting's rebels, you will not only take over the military power, but also increase your reputation in Yuan Ting. I can't help but think so! "

Wang Baobao said anxiously: "You are making heart-breaking remarks. To my father..."

Zhuo Lingfeng waved his hand and said: "Okay, let alone my father-in-law, if I fall into your hands, my father-in-law can spare my life for Minmin's sake, but I don't know, what about you, uncle?"

Wang Baobao felt guilty and short of breath. He knew that he would not do this. Zhuo Lingfeng suddenly turned around and reached out to grab Wang Baobao as if pressing a spring.

There are only a few people in the world who can avoid Zhuo Lingfeng's grasp, not to mention that Wang Baobao's martial arts skills are not as good as those of Zhao Min before.

For a moment, Wang Baobao felt a pain in his shoulder, and felt a strange energy penetrate into his body. His whole body was sore and limp, and Zhuo Lingfeng had already grabbed him in his hand and lifted him up.

King Ruyang and the guards didn't even see Zhuo Lingfeng's move clearly, let alone the rescue.

Only then did the sixteen guards around him react. They pulled out their steel knives with a choking sound and rushed forward. King Ruyang raised his hands and said in a deep voice: "Back off."

Everyone was stunned, sheathed the steel sword, and took a few steps back.

When the heroes saw Zhuo Lingfeng capture Wang Baobao from a distance, they couldn't help but feel their blood boiling. They felt that it was not in vain for them to live in the open and live in poverty, and to participate in the Heroes Conference.

Zhao Min's chest felt like a huge stone, and he could hardly breathe. He clenched his clothes tightly and his eyes were red.

King Ruyang stood up slowly, stared at Zhuo Lingfeng and said: "If you want to capture hostages, you should capture me!"

Zhuo Lingfeng ignored King Ruyang and only said to Wang Baobao: "I have said all my good things, but you are still stubborn!

Okay, I don’t care whether you are unwilling or ambitious. With a stroke of luck in my hand, you will immediately become a dead person. Everything is mirrored, so what do you say? "

Wang Baobao took a breath, tried his best to calm down, and said with a smile: "I have always admired your martial arts skills, but three armies can seize commanders, but ordinary men cannot seize ambitions. I, my son, have no fear of life or death. Just do it! Just treat me as father and son." I was blind and saw the wrong person, so I married my sister to you!!"

Zhuo Lingfeng's eyes darkened and he sighed: "Father-in-law, brother-in-law, the human world is dangerous, but people's hearts are even more dangerous.

Don't think that because I am a hero, you can overwhelm me with your loyalty. You must know that fighting on the battlefield is not as good as fighting for supremacy in the rivers and lakes. There are not so many rules to follow! "

After speaking, he loosened his grip and put Wang Baobao down.

Wang Baobao took a few steps back and sneered: "What do you mean? If you let me go now, there will still be a fight! Isn't it all in vain?"

Zhuo Lingfeng's face darkened: "My trip involves the lives of thousands of people. If it weren't for Min Min, I wouldn't let you go!"

Suddenly he looked up to the sky and roared.

This long roar was like rolling spring thunder, rumbling and exploding in the sky. The roar became louder and louder, and it continued for a long time. All the Mongolian soldiers' ears were ringing and they covered their ears. As for the horses that sat down, they were all neighing and the soldiers had to control them by force.

Even though Prince Ruyang and his son had been killed for a long time and their hearts were as hard as iron, they still felt that their souls were shaking and they were in a trance, as if they were in a nightmare. They couldn't believe that one person's scream was so powerful.

The martial arts heroes stood at the entrance of the Butterfly Valley, listening to the rolling thunder, their bodies and minds were shaken, and everyone was silent.

Zhao Min looked at the three people closest to him, his face turned pale, and he didn't know if he should step forward to stop them.

She understood that if she stepped forward now, it would be tantamount to distrusting Zhuo Lingfeng. If she did not step forward, she would be afraid that Zhuo Lingfeng would actually beat her father and brother to death or injure them in anger.

In a flash of thought, Zhuo Lingfeng suddenly stopped his whistle and took away his breath with a whistle. In an instant, everyone's faces showed a look of awe.

When the King of Ruyang saw Zhuo Lingfeng roaring and demonstrating, he didn't take him seriously. However, he was a heroic man and had his own merits. He was about to get angry, but then he laughed and did not take it as an insult. He said calmly: "Okay. No. 1 in the world, truly extraordinary!”

Wang Baobao also suppressed his anger and said coldly: "You are nothing special. Experts like you must not be disturbed when you roar to hurt people. If the two armies really confront each other, how can you have the chance to roar for a long time! "

Zhuo Lingfeng smiled faintly: "I am capturing you now because I want to tell you that if you are my enemy, Zhuo Lingfeng, I will definitely deal with you, and then you will not follow the rules of the world.

Even though you have thousands of troops, I can come when I want and leave when I want. You should think about the consequences yourself.

The reason why I let you go is because my father-in-law sees me as a son-in-law. I should respect my love as a son-in-law and cannot hurt you at this time!

This is etiquette! "

Prince Ruyang and his son were speechless for a long time. How could they not know the principle of courtesy first and then fighting? It would not be the same if they met each other on the battlefield the next time.

After a long while, King Ruyang smiled slightly: "Let Minmin come over!"

Zhuo Lingfeng said: "My lord, why are you doing this? Since you and I have said this, we will wait for the troops to fight. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to let her come over?"

King Ruyang sighed, looked at him and said with a smile: "What? I want to see my daughter, is it difficult for him?"

Wang Baobao snorted coldly.

Zhuo Lingfeng showed a hint of bitterness. King Ruyang glanced at him and said slowly: "After today, I will return to Mobei. I will never walk in China again for the rest of my life. Shouldn't I meet Minmin?"

Zhuo Lingfeng was shocked and said in shock: "What did you say? Isn't this battle going to happen?"

King Ruyang said: "There is such a situation, but I can't make up my mind."

Zhuo Lingfeng thought for a while and suddenly said: "If this battle is not fought, from now on, you will become a traitor to the Yuan Dynasty. What are your plans?"

The King of Ruyang twisted his beard and muttered: "You have successfully formed an alliance today. It could be as soon as one month or as late as three months. There will be troubles in various places. If I don't put down the rebellion in the Yuan Dynasty, there will naturally be others!"

As he spoke, he sighed and said: "An army conquest is indeed the most tragic thing in the world. You and Minmin are actually the same. You seem to be proud and stubborn, but you are very soft in your bones. If both of us are damaged, we will suffer in every possible way. Blame yourself.”

Wang Baobao glared at Zhuo Lingfeng: "If it weren't for you, how could my sister, a good Mongolian heroine, be like this..."

King Ruyang waved his hand and said: "I will lead my troops to operate in Mobei with peace of mind. You are fighting in the Central Plains. If the Han people are really as ambitious as you say, we will naturally live in peace in Mongolia. If..."

Speaking of this, he chuckled: "Then I can't control what your uncle wants to do, and you can't control it either!"

Zhuo Lingfeng smiled bitterly and said: "This is also true. If the Han people are strong, you will naturally not dare to invade, but if you want to avoid being beaten like the Song Dynasty, it is really a lie. I can imagine this!"

As he spoke, he faced Zhao Min and shouted loudly: "Minmin, come here!"

His inner strength was deep and his sound could reach far. The heroes felt awe in their hearts. They didn't know why he called Zhao Min away.

But Zhuo Lingfeng had just captured Wang Baobao, and everyone saw it with their own eyes, and no one thought that he would call Zhao Min away to escape. So no one stopped him.

Zhao Min was extremely smart. Knowing that Zhuo Lingfeng was calling him now, he must have reached a consensus with his father and brother. He smiled knowingly and ran out of the valley entrance.

She was so good at qinggong. Suddenly, Zhao Min and Zhuoli were in front of the three of them. Zhuo Lingfeng saw that her pretty face had turned red due to her rapid running. She was overflowing with beauty. He cherished her so much that he smiled and said, "You're scared." Bar?"

Zhao Min tilted his head and smiled, feeling very sweet in his heart. Without saying much, he hugged King Ruyang's arm and said with a smile: "Father, have you agreed?"

King Ruyang saw that his daughter and Zhuo Lingfeng were too sweet, the muscles on his face trembled, his face darkened, and he said solemnly: "Huh, you are an unfilial daughter, you are not coming to see me for so long, are you deliberately coercing your father?"

Zhao Min shook his head and said: "Father, I respect you and love you, so how can I dare to intimidate you? Besides, the reason why I intimidate you is because I value you, love me and pity me!"

King Ruyang's face softened slightly and he said slowly: "That's quite a good statement."

Zhao Min looked at Wang Baobao again and said with a smile: "Brother, I apologize to you, don't be the same as him!"

"You still have the nerve to call me brother!"

Wang Baobao was punished by Zhuo Lingfeng in public, and he felt angry and aggrieved in his heart. Facing Zhuo Lingfeng, he had no other choice but to restrain himself. Seeing his own sister, he burst out against her and gritted his teeth and said: "You are a lard monk." I understand that you are satisfied with your marriage to Zhuo.

But you did not hesitate to betray your country and your father. In the eyes of Mongolians like me, this is an act of adultery and passion, and a waste of filial piety. Your father’s reputation has been ruined for the rest of his life, and he has no choice but to rebel against the king and the party. If there is a disaster of confiscating the family and annihilating the clan in the future, this will But all thanks to you, you think about it yourself! "

Wang Baobao took Zhuo Lingfeng's angry words against him and sent them all to Zhao Min. Zhao Min was not a weak woman and was decisive in killing, but Wang Baobao's every word was like a sharp knife piercing her heart.

Even Zhuo Lingfeng was shaken and had many thoughts in his mind. He had to admit that whether it was the combination of Zhao Min and himself, or the Zhao Min in the original trajectory.

She has such a reputation.

Tears welled up in Zhao Min's eyes, her vision was blurred, and she said in a trembling voice: "Brother, you, you..."

"Don't call me brother!"

Wang Baobao said in a stern voice: "You have a husband and you only care about him. Okay, then our brother-sister relationship will be severed. From now on, I will not have a sister like you!"

Zhao Min was in great mourning. He knelt down towards King Ruyang and cried, "Father, my daughter is unfilial!"

King Ruyang did not look at her and said coldly: "What your brother means is also what I mean.

There is no peace in the world. I am withdrawing my troops today because of your face. It is also because of the relationship between you and me as father and daughter! From now on, just take care of yourself! "

With that said, he strode around and left, but with tears in his eyes, this was the last thing he could do for Zhao Min. She followed Zhuo Lingfeng wholeheartedly. Without this experience, neither side would have settled well.

Wang Baobao took a deep look at Zhao Min, snorted angrily, and followed King Ruyang away.

Zhao Min felt more and more sad, so she kowtowed three times and said in a solemn voice: "My daughter sends my father to you!"

The King of Ruyang immediately issued an order to the general, and the rear troops acted as the front troops and immediately retreated.

The heroes saw a big war disappear without a trace. Some were happy and some were worried, but most of them didn't know why.

Mongolians are naturally attracted to the strong, but Zhuo Lingfeng did the opposite. He did not use conspiracy, force or other means to force him, but negotiated openly and honestly with his old father-in-law, analyzed the pros and cons, and reached a mutual understanding.

This is the brilliance of Zhuo Lingfeng's humanity and his unique personality charm.

Zhuo Lingfeng's martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world. In this era when life is like a piece of cake, it is very rare to not only stick to one's own strength, but he knows that he is in a dilemma and is in a dilemma, but he can sacrifice himself and follow others. This kind of behavior also gives a bright color to this dark era.

And this bright color, maintained by successive generations, can bring hope to people in confusion no matter in dark times.

Zhuo Lingfeng helped Zhao Min up and said, "Mei Min, I've suffered so much for you!"

Zhao Min shook his head and said: "On this day, I have actually thought about it for a long time. No matter what my father and brother think in their hearts, they have to deny me as their daughter!"

Both of them knew this truth, but they both felt sorry for each other, looking at each other, and neither of them said a word!

After about a cup of tea, Zhuo Lingfeng took a long breath and said, "Mei Min, you only have me now.

I won't go anywhere in this life. We will live happily in the rivers and lakes, and live forever among the forests and springs. What do you think? "

Zhao Min was silent for a moment and said slowly: "But where is Miss Ren?"

Zhuo Lingfeng's expression changed slightly, and he smiled sadly and said: "This is the price I pay for not being able to bear the word of love!

Besides, even if I leave you, who can guarantee that I can find you again in the future?

I have already lost Yingying, and I can no longer lose Minmin! "

Zhao Min looked at Zhuo Lingfeng and suddenly smiled: "Are these words sincere, or are they forced by the current situation?"

Zhuo Lingfeng was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

Zhao Min glanced at him and said: "Since I don't know, it means the situation is greater than the truth!"

Zhuo Lingfeng was silent for a long time, then suddenly sighed: "Perhaps what I did today was fate!

My master said that the family is like a house of fire, and the love between husband and wife is like a shackle of gold and jade. Therefore, only by clearing one’s mind and eliminating desires, can one be free and unfettered in order to pursue the great road.

But I have never realized this level. Today, of course, this is also my disaster. After all, nothing in the world is perfect!

For the sake of love, didn’t you also lose the love of father and brother? "

Zhao Min sighed quietly: "Yes, I used to think that I was omnipotent, but when things came to pass, I realized that we couldn't do what we wanted after all!

Maybe this is the true meaning of life! "

Zhuo Lingfeng only felt sour and bitter in his mouth, and he completely lost the joy of the army retreating.

He had a strange opportunity and went around in circles. What was he seeking?

Is it freedom or longevity?

In fact, it’s just fame and fortune!

But he got fame and fortune.

As long as he has the ambition to lead the world, it is not difficult!

Unifying the world, as long as he has this ambition, he will have a chance. After all, he has the advantage of being a prophet and has the help of Zhao Min.

But this is not what he wants.

This half of his life seemed like a dream, but his heart was full of desolation and desolation...

What did he get in the end?

Is it just love?
