Chapter 83: Change of Mind
In the woman's tavern, Ziying and Lingfen were sitting opposite each other.
"I wanted to have a drink with the King of Qin that day, but the King of Qin refused. Today I am lucky enough to have a drink with him," Lingfen said with a smile.
Ziyingqiang smiled and clinked glasses with Lingfen to drink.
"Where did Master go after he left yesterday, and why did he appear here?" Ziying asked, deliberately changing the topic to Lingfen.
"I was looking for a book, and now I have found it." Lingfen stopped smiling, "I haven't asked King Qin where he wants to go yet? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Lingfen's eagle eyes seemed to see through Ziying.
"I am..." Ziying hesitated and said with a heartbeat, "Master, I don't want to be the King of Qin anymore."
Lingfen looked indifferent, "Why?"
"Master won't understand even if I tell you. In fact, I am not Ziying. I am a person who was born more than two thousand years ago. I don't know how I became Ziying." Ziying said.
Lingfen remained calm, "Keep talking."
"At that time, Ziying killed Zhao Gao and surrendered to Liu Bang. I also killed Zhao Gao and defended Liu Bang. I have completed my mission." Ziying vomited, "The people of Qin still want me to take back the land, but I just want to do it."
If you want to live in a corner, you are not suitable to be their king."
"Is there anything else you want to say?" Lingfen asked.
"This... Master, are you not surprised at all?" Ziying was puzzled, this Lingfen was too calm.
"The book I just read is even more confusing than what King Qin said." Lingfen said, "I didn't believe in those things at first, but now I am more convinced."
"What book?" Ziying asked.
"A book written by Gongshu Ban, the enemy of our ancestor Mozi, also records mystical arts, which is really weird." Lingfen sighed, "However, according to Gongshu Ban's personality, he would not write randomly.
"
""Book of Lu Ban"?!" Ziying was startled, "It is said that those who practice "Book of Lu Ban" will be punished by heaven. What does Master do with it?"
Lingfen looked directly into Ziying's eyes and said, "To help King Qin restore his country."
Ziying was stunned. In order to help him, Lingfen would rather ignore his own safety!
"Yesterday after the King of Qin went to the Chu camp, I made a wish. If the King of Qin can return safely, I will study this book to help the King of Qin restore his country." Lingfen said with a smile, "So I still feel a little disrespectful to my ancestors."
"Why are you helping me like this?" Ziying felt guilty.
"Because the King of Qin is a benevolent monarch, and only a benevolent monarch can protect the people of the world." Lingfen gestured to the woman in the tavern, "The people also love the benevolent monarch."
"There has never been a benevolent king. In war, people are destined to die." Ziying replied.
"A king who knows this is even more benevolent." Lingfen said happily.
"If Caiwei had a master to assist him, he would be a benevolent king. Why would he choose me?!" Ziying said anxiously.
"Because Caiwei is not willing to take the responsibility, this responsibility can only be shouldered by the King of Qin."
Ziying was helpless, lying on the table and burying his head in his arms.
"Has King Qin ever heard of 'Zhuang Sheng Dreams of Butterflies'?" Ling Fen said slowly, "Zhuang Sheng had a dream, dreaming of becoming a butterfly. When he woke up, he couldn't tell which one was a dream and which one was real.
"
Lingfen paused and said, "The King of Qin said that it was from two thousand years later. He was not Ziying at first. So why can't it be the King of Qin who was actually Ziying? The so-called two thousand years later was just a dream of the King of Qin. A dream that made the King of Qin also suffer.
Unclear dreams.”
Ziying covered her head, two real memories entangled together, and fully understood the meaning of Zhuang Sheng's dream of butterflies.
"Even if it is a dream, I, the King of Qin, is not what they really want, so why force it?" Ziying sighed.
"Who said the people of Qin were just monarchs who wanted to restore their country? Has King Qin ever asked them?" Lingfen pointed towards the outside of the tavern.
Noisy footsteps sounded, and a group of people gathered outside the tavern. The people inside and outside the tavern knelt down.
"We just want to be the king's people, and we will never expect the king to destroy the rebels."
"It is not easy for the king to protect the safety of the common people. The common people dare not ask for anything."
Mengtu walked out from behind the crowd, knelt down and said, "Last night was my fault. I don't understand strategy at all. The current Qin Dynasty cannot fight against Xiang Yu. You should never force your Majesty!"
Ziying smiled bitterly, "You still want to destroy the rebels, but because I can't do it, you have no choice but to deal with this king, right?"
Ziying thought to himself, how could the country of tigers and wolves be willing to let the rebels flourish and ignore them? These people were obviously trying to comfort him, and they were probably induced by the disciples.
"Whatever the king wants, the common people will follow."
"Your Majesty is a capable king, and your decision will definitely not be wrong."
Ziying was still hesitating.
Han Tan even ran around and knelt outside, crying, "Your Majesty, you must not leave like this. I really want to restore the territory of Qin, and I have never thought of letting the king go up and hit the stone with an egg. I just hope that the king can be safe and sound.
This is my greatest wish that the people of Great Qin will not be massacred by the rebel party!"
"This is also the wish of the common people!" the common people said in unison.
The huge pressure in Ziying's heart gradually disappeared.
"Why is Han Aiqing here?" Ziying asked.
"This girl told him." Caiwei flashed out of the tavern, "You rode away on horseback and wanted to leave a city to me. I will not take on your hard work."
"If I don't abdicate, won't you still find someone to assassinate me?" Ziying said with a smile.
"It won't happen this time." Caiwei folded her arms and said, "I suddenly realized that I wouldn't be happy if you died, and the people of Qin are dependent on you for their survival. Killing you is inconsistent with the purpose of the Mo family."
Lingfen nodded towards Caiwei, unable to hide the smile on his face.
"Why are you kneeling down? I won't be so generous when I arrive." Li Xin, with a loud voice outside the tavern, joked, washing away yesterday's decadence.
Lu Jia cupped his hands towards Ziying and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, my mission has been successfully completed."
"It's completed. It's a pity that we don't plan to start a war. Commander Li Xin may have to return to being the commander of the central defender." Ziying said with a lazy smile.
"Ha ha ha ha..."
The king and the people were happy for a while.
The sound of horse hoofbeats sounded in the direction of Xianyang Palace, and everyone looked over to see Lu Matong coming on a fast horse.
