A strange look flashed in the black robe's eyes, and he murmured to himself: "Mei Huizhou, Mei Huizhou, such a familiar name, oh, I remembered it, the place where Huan Xuan fled Jiangling and died.
, seems to be this Mei Huizhou."
Zhu Chaoshi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes, he was met by Mao Xiuzhi who was about to return to Jiankang in Meihuizhou, and he was killed immediately. It is a pity that the puppet emperor of Huanchu turned out to be like this
ending."
The black robe curled up his lips: "There seems to be God's will in the dark. It's really the death place of a generation of emperors. And this Mao Xiuzhi was escorting his father's coffin back to Jiankang for burial. On the way, he met
The former lord Huan Xuan was treacherous and killed him. He thought that he would gain glory and wealth, but he did not expect that he would soon face retribution. His father, brothers, and uncles in Western Shu also rebelled against Qiao.
, killing them all, can be said to be unsatisfactory retribution, the way of heaven is clear."
Zhu Chaoshi's heart sank more and more. He felt that the black robe seemed to be pointing out something. At this time, he could not speak to respond.
The black robe looked at Zhu Chaoshi and said calmly: "General Zhu, you were once a general of Huan Chu, and Huan Xuan also valued you very much. If you had met Huan Xuan in Meihuizhou, what would you have chosen?
"
Zhu Chaoshi gritted his teeth: "I think if it were me, I wouldn't kill Huan Xuan like Xiu Zhi did. Instead, I would let him go and go back to plead guilty to my master."
The black robe smiled slightly: "Oh, General Zhu, this is a great disloyalty. Since you surrendered to Jin and submitted to your master, then Huanxuan is your number one enemy. Letting him go would be disloyal to the country. Moreover, Huanxuan was disloyal to the country at that time.
Xuan is at the end of his rope. Even if you let him go, he will still die. What good will it do to you?"
Zhu Chaoshi shook his head: "Although Huan Xuan was a great traitor who usurped the country and established himself on his own, and was abandoned by the people of the world and had no choice but to do so, he was kind to me after all, and the Huan family was also kind to my Zhu family. They are also our brothers.
The reason why the two of them worked for Huan Xuan even though they knew that Huan Xuan was a traitor. Everyone in the world can kill Huan Xuan, but only we brothers cannot do this. When loyalty and righteousness cannot be balanced, this time I choose righteousness, and
Not loyal."
The black robe smiled and nodded: "That's very good. Loyalty and justice cannot be balanced. So, General Zhu, I would like to ask you, this time you join the divine religion, where does loyalty and justice have anything to do with it?"
Zhu Chaoshi's eyes sparkled with tears. He thought of how he had endured the humiliation, risked the world's infamy, and stooped to please the demon thief. The experience of more than half a year almost made him more uncomfortable than death. He gritted his teeth and said: "Until I face death.
At that moment, I realized that my desire for life and my hope for survival were more important than my loyalty and integrity. I was a defeated general, and my master had used tricks to smear my reputation. Even if I died, I would only be able to survive.
Being able to bear the name of a traitor, I have no other choice but to stay in the Cult and stay on the ground with all my heart."
The black robe nodded with satisfaction: "He who knows the current affairs is a hero. You are a smart man and know how to choose. He Wuji died in your hands. You will never have a chance to look back. Liu Daogui is not Huan Xuan. He has no regard for you."
Such a great kindness is not worth sacrificing your bright future in the divine religion to save a mortal man."
Zhu Chaoshi's expression turned stern and he said in a deep voice: "How could I have any old feelings for Liu Daochuan? I even killed He Wuji with my own hands, and it still can't prove my loyalty to the divine religion?"
The smile in the black robe slowly dissipated from his eyes, and his voice revealed a coldness: "General Zhu, as the special envoy of Master Lu, I need to remind you that you and I both know very well that you talk about the cult of God.
It's not loyalty, it's just that there is no way out, and you had no choice at the time. Now that you are in the position of commander-in-chief, there is no one around you who can restrict you. At this time, I advise you not to have any illusions, no matter what
No matter whether you can help Liu Daogui or not, it can't change Liu Yi's defeat and the fate of Jin's demise. Just at noon today, the decisive battle between Vice Master Xu and Liu Yi has begun, and you know the result."
Zhu Chaoshi's heart sank suddenly, but he smiled brightly on his face: "What, did we win? Did we capture Liu Yi?"
The black robe smiled slightly: "I only received preliminary news. Our army was victorious and the Jin army was almost wiped out. With Liu Yi's defeat, whether he is dead or alive, the door to Jiankang has been opened wide.
Liu Yu's army hasn't rushed back yet, and there is no force that can stop the Shen Cult from taking Jiankang and establishing a new dynasty. General Zhu, at this time, you must not make a choice that you will regret."
Zhu Chaoshi smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, you also know that I don't have the right to choose. If I really want to choose, I just choose how to fight the battle better and more beautifully. Just like the place name Meihuizhou, I don't have the right to choose."
There is no way to go back. So, please give me a helping hand to annihilate the Huanglong fleet of the Jin army. If Liu Daogui loses his navy, he will no longer have the power to fight back. Whether he can capture Jiangling or Jingzhou is the next best thing.
The Jin army will no longer be able to harass our frontline supplies and waterways."
The black robe nodded: "Very good. Before I leave, I have one more thing to say to you. When Liu Laozhi was deprived of his official position by Huan Xuan and transferred from the army, he wanted to make a last-ditch effort and convened a military meeting with his subordinates.
He raised an army to rebel against Huan, but his closest subordinates told him that the biggest crime in the world, the worst mistake that people should not commit, is betrayal. One of Liu Lao rebelled against Wang Gong, and the second rebelled against Sima Yuanxian. This time he wanted to
If you rebel against Huan Xuan again and rebel three times, how can you stand between heaven and earth? Please forgive us for not being able to follow him."
Zhu Chaoshi gritted his teeth, glared, and looked directly at the black robe: "Your Majesty wants to say that I rebelled against Huan Chu once and the Jin Kingdom again. If I rebel against the Divine Religion again this time, I will be like Liu Laozhi. I am a traitor three times."
A rebellious person will never be able to atone for his sins even if he dies, right?"
Heipao said with satisfaction: "You are a smart man, you don't need me to remind you anything. Liu Laozhi only forced him to rebel when he was desperate. But you are different from him. If you behave well this time, I will show you all your wonderful things."
Report all your plans to Master Lu, and you will completely gain the trust of him and your fellow disciples. It will be easy for you to prosper in the cult in the future. But if you make a wrong step and end up on the losing side, no matter what you have
The reasons are all irreversible, and if I kill He Wuji on you, your master is the most affectionate and righteous person, and he will definitely dig out your heart with his own hands to pay homage to He Wuji."
Zhu Chaoshi nodded sternly and said: "Your Majesty, thank you for reminding me. I will never let you or the leader down. I made an oath when I joined the cult. I will repeat it here. If I, Zhu Chaoshi, betray the cult, I will never let you down."
Teach me and my brother to die together, and our souls will not be able to return to our hometown."
