Chapter 2187 The Sea of Suffering Is Endless, but the Sky Is the Shore
What is the biggest lesson?
Is it that you still failed after trying everything?
Is it the pain that the body endures?
Is it the humiliation of having your dignity despised?
No.
Zhongshan Yanwen's answer is "pay".
When Zhongshan Weisun knelt down in the military camp, his heart was bleeding! He couldn't believe that this was the heir he had personally trained, so ignorant of the overall situation.
So rash, reckless, and self-centered.
But this is the choice that Zhongshan Weisun has made.
Grandpa must do what his grandson kneeled on the ground to beg his grandfather. No matter how difficult this matter is.
He will continue to increase the stakes until Yingyang Mansion can no longer bear it, until Zhongshan Weisun doubts his life and questions whether it is worth it!
Only in this way can Zhongshan Weisun be taught a real lesson.
Let Zhongshan Weisun understand how heavy his knees are and what it means for him to kneel down.
Let Zhongshan Weisun recognize clearly whether he has the ability to bear the choice he made!
Everything in this process is the price of growth.
The long night is silent.
Zhongshan Weisun, with disheveled hair, stood alone in the open space of the military camp. He raised his head dryly and looked up at the people hanging in the air. His face, washed by tears and dirt, had a very complicated expression at the moment.
There were not many real confidants among the princes and grandsons of Jing State who often played together. On the first day I met Jia Fugui and Shangguan in the illusory world, I found them very interesting. After a few years of getting along, they have long been regarded as life confidants.
The white hair is as new as the old. But for the sake of the king, I will not say goodbye.
Zhongshan Yanwen came to Chu State in person to help him protect people. This was what he asked for, and it was his kneeling begging on the ground at the beginning.
But what he imagined was not like this.
It was not that Zhongshan Yanwen stepped on the road of Yan one step ahead, it was not that Zhongshan Yanwen came to Chu State to bow his head, and it was not that he wanted his most respected grandfather to pay so much!
But he had never thought clearly, but today he had to understand that - how much face could the general of Yingyang Guard of Jing State have in Chu State? How much would it cost to erase a person from Chu State's must-kill list!
But had he never thought clearly? Or did he not dare to think deeply at all, but was just eager to save his friend?
Zhongshan Weisun, do you think that a letter from Yingyang Mansion and a name of Zhongshan Yanwen can save Long Boji from Chu State?
This is not the Northern Territory, and Chu State is not one of the five northwestern countries.
You will eventually know what the price of your rash decision is.
In the cold wind of this night, Zhongshan Weisun learned the most unforgettable lesson in his life.
Wu Zhaochang looked at Zhongshan Yanwen, who traveled thousands of miles to the south and taught his grandson painstakingly, and was at a loss for a moment.
Everyone has been young, and everyone needs experience to grow up, but the price of growth is not something that everyone can bear. Not everyone has the opportunity to learn lessons, get up and move forward.
"Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. I am also a parent and a grandfather. I can understand your feelings."
He hid his lonely mood under the Anguo armor bestowed by the emperor: "When your third and last son died on the battlefield, you drank strong liquor, took a spear and went north alone, deep into the border. Everyone thought you would die there. But you came back alive and set up a monument of 8,000 miles in the border, which is still the ultimate military achievement of a real person."
"Although I have never said it publicly, I recognize you in my heart."
"Now that you, Zhongshan Yanwen, have reached the top, your favor is also very important."
He raised his eyes: "But I can't promise you. A Long Boji is indeed nothing, even if he holds a grudge in this life and stirs up trouble, it is harmless. But no force can save people from the execution of Chu, this is very important."
Zhongshan Yanwen fully understood this expression.
Chu vowed to destroy Nandou, and you, Jing, came out to protect people, whoever you want to protect, is Jing greater than Chu?
He knew that Zhongshan Weisun could understand. He did not go to see his grandson, but observed everything about this troublesome child.
Seeing Zhongshan Weisun's trembling lips and confused eyes, he almost said forget it! But he did not say it.
Zhongshan Yanwen decided to continue to increase the stakes.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the distance——
"Duke Anguo! Of course, no force can save people from the execution of the Chu State, but a mere Long Boji, who is in the realm of God, does not necessarily have to be executed immediately."
Following the voice, a tall old man came with a kind smile on his face: "Why not detain him in prison until next autumn?"
Wu Zhaochang looked over indifferently: "It is this general who is ignorant! What kind of person is this Long Boji, and he even alarmed Song Tianshi?"
The person who came at this moment was Song Huai, the Tianshi of Jingguodong.
A big man with more weight than Zhongshan Yanwen!
He did not hide his intentions, and expressed it clearly - Chu State was doing its own thing, and it could destroy the sects and kill people. It could kill the leaders of the major sects and the Six True Ones of the Southern Dipper. It could just lock up disciples like Long Boji and leave them for later disposal.
In this way, no one could say that Chu State was avoiding the knife for the other party.
Wait until the autumn of next year, or some other time, when the impact of this matter has faded, he and Zhongshan Yanwen will add some conditions to get Long Boji out of prison. This is a calm and multi-faceted strategy, which is indeed a proper strategy.
The only thing to worry about is... How could Long Boji, an inconspicuous master of the True Tradition and a spiritual monk, stir up the world and create such fierce ripples in the sea of suffering?
His friendship with Zhongshan Weisun affected General Ying Yangwei of the northern hegemony; why did the Dongtian Master of the central scene come to him?
Song Huai glanced at Zhongshan Yanwen and shook his head sympathetically: "We are all of this age and we are elders, so why should we worry?"
He said to Wu Zhaochang: "My incompetent disciple is still in prison in Taixu Pavilion. Even in front of all the wise men, Song did not say anything secret. I originally planned to wait for him to come out and use the position of Da Jingzongxian , to make up for the time he missed. But a few days ago, this boy asked for the understanding of the Taixu Cabinet member and sent me a letter, which said, "If all the relatives and friends are safe, it will be a long time to be separated by heaven and earth." He said that for these five years of imprisonment, he does not want any other compensation, just the consideration of a friend - you think, if the apprentice talks about it, can the master turn a blind eye? "
Before entering Taixu Pavilion and imprisoned, Chen Suan's official position was the left deputy censor of the Jingguo Yushitai, and he was the third-ranking figure in the Yushitai. From here on up, there are only two positions: the Right Capital Censor and the Left Capital Censor. Every step is a fundamental leap and is filled with difficulties.
Especially in an ancient empire like Jingguo, which has a long history and is intertwined with various forces, every position has countless pairs of eyes. In terms of seniority, no one knows how many years it will take to rank, and it takes a long time.
Among them, Zuodu Yushi is also known as "General Constitution".
If you sit in this position, you can control the Yushitai and supervise all officials. It is the first power position in Jingguo. In terms of personality, he can be equal to the true king.
The internal description of authority in Jingguo is as follows: the Mirror World Terrace observes the world, the Central Heavenly Prison punishes the world, and the Yushitai oversees all officials, including the Mirror World Terrace and the Central Heavenly Lao.
The compensation prepared by Master Dongtian for his beloved disciple is not without abundant rewards.
But Chen Suan actually used this as a bargaining chip to exchange his friends.
Only now did Jiang Wang suddenly understand what kind of opportunity Chen Shuan was asking for by committing suicide again and again in the Taixu attic, and who the letter home was for. Only then did he find out that Chen Suan was also a good friend of Long Boji from Nandou Palace.
He himself only met Long Boji once at the Dragon Palace Banquet, so he didn't know him well and had no impression of him. At this moment, curiosity arose - I really wanted to know what was so special about Long Boji, how he could have such a friend and make such sacrifices for him.
Wu Zhaochang said slowly: "The friend who wants to come to us is also named Long Boji."
Song Huai sighed: "Unfortunately, this is the name."
Zhongshan Yanwen raised his hand to catch Zhongshan Weisun in the air. In the process, he nursed his injuries: "Are you three friends?"
Zhongshan Weisun nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
Only now did he know who Jia Fugui was in the illusion of Taixu.
From this, I understood why Jia Fugui suddenly had no news at all, and why he didn't respond to many letters from Feihe. Why is it that the Three Musketeers of Hongmeng are so good that he is the only one left wandering lonely in the Hongmeng space.
There are so many storms in the world, everyone has his own embarrassments, and everyone has his own problems.
In the past, in the Hongmeng space, when they talked about their respective lives, they all said it was smooth sailing and endlessly happy.
But after knowing that Jia Fugui was also trying his best to rescue Shangguan, he suddenly felt less lonely.
He admitted that he behaved very stupidly this time, but isn't a true friend someone who does stupid things with you? In this way, this world where everyone is smart is not so difficult to face.
Wu Zhaochang looked at Song Huai and then at Zhongshan Yanwen: "General Zhongshan and Tianshi Song have spoken. Logically speaking, I shouldn't withhold face. But then again, since General Zhongshan and Tianshi Song have spoken, then Long Bo Do I need to re-evaluate the weight of this person?”
Song Huai's sigh was just for this!
Since he agreed to his apprenticeship, it was absolutely impossible to protect Long Boji from being brutally killed by the Chu State. Especially the determination shown by Chen Shuan in Taixu Pavilion, Chu State must have known about it through Dou Zhao.
If it were a young man like Qu Shunhua who could act with emotion and reason, things would be settled.
Wu Zhaochang is not a good man or woman.
"We are all people who become softer as we get older, and are manipulated by younger generations." Song Huai said quietly: "But General Zhongshan and I are different. He loves Sun eagerly, but I am used to being deserted on Penglai Island. In the end, It's good that my apprentice doesn't blame me, but if he must blame me, I can accept it."
A line was drawn here - he accepted the killing, but the blow couldn't be too harsh and had to be measured. Otherwise, he would rather let his apprentice blame him.
Wu Zhaochang spoke decisively: "I think Chen Shuan's friendship with Long Boji is no less than that of Zhongshan Weisun."
Song Huaishi said casually: "But my love for my apprentice is not as good as General Zhongshan's love for his direct grandson. And - my family's affairs are not in your hands."
He also glanced at Jiang Wang with a half-smile.
Jiang Wang is observing the stars carefully.
But Zhongshan Yanwen remained silent for a while.
Wu Zhaochang waved his hand: "My husband, no trivial matters! Master Dongtian made it clear, and I don't want to talk about anything else. You can watch the delivery of the supplies that are worth the price of God. In addition, if the Chu State needs it in the future, you will You have to help me protect someone in Jingguo."
Song Huai was also very straightforward: "Limited to God's presence. It cannot be a serious treason."
"That's it!" Wu Zhaochang confirmed the conditions on the spot, and added: "After waiting for many days in Nandou Hall, there is only the friendship between two young people. It shows that we are poor! In this case, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, surround the mountain for many days, and cut down the mountain For a moment, it is convenient to conquer Nandou tonight, and I will try to ask the world to reward you!"
While decisively dispatching the army, he said: "Since the two true monarchs have come to the Southern Region, they might as well watch from the sidelines and see the state of our Chu army!"
Qu Shunhua immediately returned to the camp and prepared for war. Xiang Bei, who was in the camp far away, also immediately took action. The main camp where the evil-faced army was located followed Duke An's order.
One by one, the hanging lanterns flew high into the sky, and the well-trained soldiers of the Chu army quickly gathered in uniform.
The Chu army's camp outside Du'e Peak looked like a giant dragon awakening, roaring all night long, and suddenly it seemed to be winding up the mountain.
A general attack was launched tonight!
Just as Jiang Wang was about to leave, Wu Zhaochang looked over and said, "Why don't you, member of the Cabinet, just watch? On behalf of the Taixu Pavilion, we will record the destruction of the Nandou Hall."
Jiang Wang thought for a while, then pressed his sword and said: "The Duke has something to say, but I dare not say it. I will keep a pair of eyes here for the time being, and I hope there won't be any disturbance."
"Grandpa Wu!" Zuo Guangshu looked longingly at Wu Zhaochang and then at Qu Shunhua who was marshalling the army, conveying his plea with his eyes.
Wu Zhaochang laughed dumbly and waved his hand: "Go!"
"General, take your orders!" Zuo Guangshu performed a military salute, and instantly steamed up the smoke armor and flew towards Qu Shunhua - "General Qu! I am here to support you on the order of Duke An, and I am willing to be your vanguard!"
In the night, Qu Shunhua's serious voice came out: "I'll give you the vanguard camp, don't let the three armies be outshone!"
Zuo Guangshu stepped on a water-colored dragon, flew in the night sky, and loudly received the order: "I am with you in this formation. If you advance, you will never retreat!"
The morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and the sound of killing lasted for a while.
In the air, Zhongshan Yanwen glanced at Zhongshan Weisun who looked anxious, and finally said to Wu Zhaochang: "The Chu army attacked the temple, and their swords have no eyes. It is inconvenient for us to take action, and it is impossible for the Lord to ask the soldiers to attack the temple." In the war, we lowered our swords and deliberately spared Long Boji's life - do you think it's possible to arrest the criminal Long Boji first, and then cut down the mountain to break up the sect?"
Wu Zhaochang's expression was hidden under the evil ghost mask. He just smiled and said, "Then it depends on whether Nandou Palace will give General Zhongshan this face."
"I hope they won't embarrass me!" Zhongshan Yanwen asked for permission and raised his hand. The conversation they had just talked about turned into a mysterious black letter arrow, instantly soaring up to Du'e Peak and penetrating into the secret realm of Nandou.
All this was witnessed by Wu Zhaochang, who ensured that there was no other communication between Zhongshan Yanwen and Nandou Hall, except for a request to pick up Long Boji——
And this is hardly seen as a problem.
Everyone knows that the destruction of Nandou Hall is a foregone conclusion.
In this case, Zhongshan Yanwen and Song Huai wanted to rescue a true disciple of Nandou Palace. In a sense, they could be regarded as preserving the fire for Nandou Palace. How could Nandou Palace be unwilling?
From beginning to end, the matter of rescuing Long Boji had nothing to do with Long Boji or Nandou Palace. The only problem was the attitude of Chu State. At this moment, the person who represents the attitude of Chu State is none other than the commander of the crusade against Nandou, Anguo Gong Wu Zhaochang!
General Jing Guoying Yangwei and Master Jing Guodong had used enough sincerity to persuade Wu Zhaochang to raise the torture knife one inch. When things come to this point, there should be a result that is not so perfect, but certainly unforgettable, and can be regarded as the fulfillment of one's wishes.
But the fact is that it still took a long time for Zhongshan Yanwen to personally send the letter arrow to satisfy Nandou Secret Realm's appeal.
After the Chu army had finished reorganizing its army, formed a military formation, and officially started climbing, Nandou Palace gave this belated response——
Long Boji is dead.
It was a true disciple of Tiantong Hall, a man whose name has not been remembered, carrying a roll of straw mat and rashly brought the body out.
He flew over the army of mountain climbers, flew freely outside Du'e Peak, and flew in front of everyone. He breathed the outside air greedily, and looked back at each one with strange expressions under the scrutinizing gazes of many strong men.
"You...are all here to save Senior Brother Long?"
"He is so honorable! There are so many people willing to run for him!"
His eyes were filled with envy and sadness: "It's a pity that you came late. He is already dead."
"Long Boji is dead?" Zhongshan Weisun took a step forward in disbelief and looked at the roll of straw mat in his hand: "How did he die?"
Of course he couldn't believe it, but there was indeed a body there.
Of course he didn't want to admit it, but a thin straw mat couldn't cover his eyes at all. He recognized Long Boji——
Long Boji is dead!
Traveling thousands of miles from the Northern Territory to the Southern Territory, paying such a heavy price, doing so many stupid things, only to save one dead person in the end? !
