Li Chengfeng thought that he was not a person who was easily moved by other people's words, but when he heard Zhao Hanqing's words, his eyes suddenly turned red, his breathing was heavy, and his hands holding the reins were trembling slightly.
Li Chengfeng lowered his head slightly, trying not to let the other party see his wet eyes.
Yes, although he has always had people like Zhao Xiaobao, Su Yuehan, Senior Brother Ouyang, Su You, Silly Big Man, etc. around him to support him, but when Li Chengfeng looked up at the distant and dark starry sky late at night, he faced the huge He wavered more than once when faced with extremely suffocating pressure.
Is it necessary for me to be so "nosy"
Why do you have to offend so many powerful enemies for these ordinary people
Why can't I become like those hard-hearted old cultivating monsters
This journey has been so difficult and painful for me!
Only Li Chengfeng knows the hardship and pressure best in his heart!
Li Chengfeng is not a person who likes to talk about big principles. When he was saving people, he didn't think about morality and justice, love and law. He only had one thought in his mind: They didn't deserve to die, he had to save them!
Because Li Chengfeng has lived a hard life of being homeless since he was a child. He has suffered endless hardships, and has also had days when he was insecure and had no food to eat. He knows what it is like to be poor, knows what it is like to be hungry, and knows how to be What it feels like to be bullied, know what it feels like to be looked down upon!
But these are actually nothing. If the people endure it and grit their teeth, they can still live!
After all, the people do not fight with the officials. The people in this land are the most simple and patient. As long as they are given a bite to eat and a way to survive, they can endure anything!
But…
Why do some people in this world always feel that they are above everything, that they can freely control the lives of others, and that they can degrade the people who have worked hard to support this country and support these nobles as ants and pariahs
Li Chengfeng is not convinced, and if there are ten thousand people who are not convinced, he would rather die than accept it!
This is the character and habit that he developed from childhood by fighting gangsters, gangsters, local tyrants and evil gentry, evil officials and thieves, powerful dandies, and senior brothers and teachers!
Why can you people control my life
I control my own life!
Yes, Li Chengfeng has enough wisdom and strength to fight against them, but what about these people? How do they fight against these people
There is nothing they can do! They can only be slaughtered by others!
Li Chengfeng saw it and couldn't stand it anymore so he reached out to take care of it. He knew that this was not the character of a person who wanted to do big things. This was the "weakness" of his character. He couldn't be a great cultivator like this!
Otherwise, there are so many injustices in the world and so many miserable people in the world, how can he be saved? On the road of cultivation, the journey is long and arduous. If he spends his time on endless rescues, how can he become stronger and how can he protect himself in the future
But... when Li Chengfeng saw something unfair, he still couldn't help but want to take care of it, even if it caused a huge disaster!
Because, this is him! This is him, Li Chengfeng!
Zhao Hanqing understands him! Knowing that everything he did was not to prove anything, nor for fame and fortune, but for the principles in his heart!
The man holds his sword and sings wildly, slaying injustice and drinking from the Tianhe River!
Li Chengfeng took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down his turbulent heart. He cupped his hands to the prince and said: "Your Highness is benevolent and righteous, I... admire you very much!"
Zhao Hanqing shook his head and said: "No! Gu can do these things because Gu has such strength and ability. But each of these things you do is beyond your strength and ability, but you still go If you do it, persist all the way, and live up to your original intention, you are truly amazing!”
Only then did Li Chengfeng finally understand why Zhao Feiyue said that Zhao Hanqing was a true gentleman, a truly benevolent king, and a person with unparalleled charisma.
Li Chengfeng thought for a while and said with a face full of shame: "Your Highness has given you too much praise, I am ashamed of you!"
Zhao Hanqing waved his hand, shook the reins, and continued to walk forward. The people who had left around him consciously followed suit again, moving forward all the way. When they left the long Shenzhao Street and came to the intersection, Zhao Hanqing He said to Li Chengfeng: "Let's go our separate ways here!"
Li Chengfeng was shocked and said: "What your Highness means..."
Zhao Hanqing smiled slightly and said, "Are you surprised why Gu doesn't ask you to live in the Prince's Mansion?"
Li Chengfeng fell silent and did not speak, because this was the meaning of the question. If the prince saved him, he should repay the favor and live in the prince's mansion to express his surrender to the world.
Zhao Hanqing smiled and said: "You'd better not get involved in Gu's matter. You are a monk after all, and it would be too hard for you to get involved. Moreover, this will also involve the younger sister, which is not what Gu wants. It’s better to leave here, so that we can still be friends.”
With that said, Zhao Hanqing bowed his hands to Li Chengfeng with courtesy and said with a smile: "Farewell!"
Li Chengfeng watched blankly as Zhao Hanqing left surrounded by a group of guards. After a long time, he sighed and said to Zhao Feiyue and Liu Sumei beside him: "The prince is a true gentleman!!"
Zhao Feiyue said proudly: "Third brother is the best gentleman in the world!"
Liu Sumei looked at Zhao Hanqing's figure and sighed: "It's just that as a dignified prince of a country, it's hard to tell whether this is a disaster or a blessing!"
Li Chengfeng looked at the prince's figure in the distance, his expression extremely complicated for a moment.
…
The prince Zhao Hanqing returned to the prince's mansion all the way. The prince's right-hand men Ning Tongyi and Gu Cangping, the prince's mentor Zhang Datong, and the prince's concubine were standing in front of the hall waiting with smiles.
Zhang Datong respects his status. He usually sits high on the Diaoyutai and is taciturn. Gu Cangping is a young official. It is a blessing to be among the prince's side. Naturally, he is very low-key and rarely talks.
Therefore, among the core officials of the prince's family, Ning Tongyi was the main one. He stepped forward, smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations to Your Highness for conquering Li..."
As he said that, he saw that there was no one else behind Zhao Hanqing except the guards, and he was suddenly stunned.
Ning Tongyi was surprised and said: "Your Highness, where are the people?"
Zhao Hanqing smiled and said, "Who is it?"
Gu Cangping rolled his eyes, smiled and smoothed things over, and said: "After walking in the prison, it is natural to calm down and calm down in private first, not to mention going back to clean up..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Hanqing walked inside and said casually: "He won't come."
Ning Tongyi suddenly became furious: "Such ungrateful people! How can this be unreasonable? It's simply..."
The prince thought about his words again and said: "Gu and he are not the same people, so why force others to make things difficult?"
Ning Tongyi said angrily: "But His Highness took such a huge risk to come forward to save people, but in the end he was in vain! Isn't this asking for trouble!?"
Zhang Datong opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Ning Tongyi, and said in a deep voice: "Bold!"
Ning Tongyi immediately lowered his head and said: "I'm so presumptuous, please punish me!"
The prince waved his hand, held the princess's hand, patted her catkins tenderly, walked inside, and said with a smile: "Who said you are asking for trouble? Li Chengfeng saved people, saved It seems that he is Gu, but what he saves is his own heart and the morality he insists on! Gu rescues people, and it seems that he is saving Li Chengfeng, but what he saves is the morality of Daqi and the common people of the world. Heart!"
Ning Tongyi watched the prince leave with his mouth agape. After a while, he stamped his feet and said bitterly: "His Royal Highness is very ignorant!"
Zhang Datong glanced at him and said: "This is not what a gentleman says!"
Ning Tongyi cupped his hands and said: "Teacher! A knight wielding a sword can be moral! But His Highness is the lord of the world, with hundreds of millions of people in his hands. If he has such kindness as a woman, it may be a disaster rather than a blessing!"
Zhang Datong snorted coldly and said, "Did you meet His Highness for the first time?" After that, he rolled up his sleeves and left.
"This!" Ning Tongyi stared at Zhang Datong as he left. Then Gu Cangping on the side smiled bitterly and stepped forward, saying: "Master Zuo Shilang, this is wrong!"
Ning Tongyi also realized what he was saying. Wasn't he referring to Sang and Huai with his words? If the prince is a literary idiot, is this literary insanity innate? Didn't you get it from the teacher
Who is the teacher
Isn't it Zhang Datong, the scholar leader who taught such a prince since childhood
Ning Tongyi let out a long sigh and said: "As a king, you must not be benevolent as a woman. This is a big taboo!"
Gu Cangping smiled and whispered: "Hey, Mr. Zuo Shilang, think about it from another angle. His Highness is a benevolent king for the ages. This is the blessing of the country, the country, and the luck of our ministers and workers!"
Ning Tongyi said with a sullen face: "But now there are four princes who are eyeing us with evil intentions. This is the time when both sides are gathering strength to prepare for a decisive battle. If we have the kindness of women, we will all die without a burial place!"
Gu Cangping smiled and said: "Aren't there still us ministers? His Highness has a great spirit in his heart, so I will do all those conspiracies! Being the shadow behind His Highness, this is the value of our existence as ministers! "
Ning Tongyi was silent for a while, he stared at Gu Cangping and nodded slowly.
