"Old Yu? A strange name..."

This was probably the first time Alexander had contact with a typical Oriental man like Lao Yu. After all, in his short life, he had never truly set foot in the territory of the East.

Fortunately, as the dead, they can communicate with each other in the unique ways of the dead, otherwise, the difference in language alone will be an insurmountable obstacle.

Of course, this obstacle does not exist now. So after Alexander muttered this, he patted Lao Yu's shoulder affectionately and said to him.

"You have brought me a very important news, Lao Yu. It turns out that today's human beings have reached such a level. A city with a population of over 100 million? Zeus is on the way, and only the city that the gods are eyeing can support so many people. But this is just right. I am still worried that my millions of troops will no longer be used, and all conquests will be like a flood conflict, and it is boring. But now it seems that my conquest is still a little meaningful. Only such challenging things can be called conquest, right?"

"You are really optimistic and open-minded. If I were you, I wouldn't have talked about conquering such a rank. First, this is a bit unrealistic and too distant thing to keep in my heart and keep it more down-to-earth than always talking. Second, it is inevitable that the words that directly say the goal will always make people be wary. Since it is a war, then it is justified that it is the right thing to attack the unprepared one."

"Did you attack him unexpectedly? This is really a streamlined and profound statement. Lao Yu, you are not an ordinary person."

He pinched Lao Yu's shoulder hard, and the interest in him in Alexander's eyes increased significantly.

"This is not a truth that ordinary people can summarize. You said that you have taught others. In this way, Lao Yu, are you really a wise scholar?"

"It's not a question, it's not a question. It's just a wise man from my predecessors. I can't say such things myself. I'm just a market-opener, not as amazing as you said."

Old Yu waved his hands repeatedly and habitually took a humble attitude. However, people like Alexander would not just let someone deny his own statements. He still insisted on his own opinion and gave his own reasons.

"Is this the usual modesty of Orientals? I have heard of it, but I have never seen it much. It is really hard to understand. Will this not cause any obstacles to your revenge and ideals? Ambitions and ideals are like dull horses. You have to use words to spur it and correct it so that it can have the possibility of galloping on the battlefield and achieving great achievements, right?"

"I can understand your statement. This is also the nature of you Westerners. But we Eastern people still think that facts are better than words, and it is better to do things like doing them all over the world. As for ambition and ambition? The story of such a king was circulated in our Eastern countries about two hundred years ago in your era."

"I mean a monarch named King Zhuang of Chu. When he ascended the throne, the country was in turmoil and conflicted. There were powerful ministers at home and enemy countries around him. He took office for three years and did not speak out for state affairs. He was a man of all day long, and he seemed like a foolish monarch. But three years later, he suddenly became accused of using loyal and brave ministers, strangled the traitors at home, and destroyed the invading enemy countries. He also expanded his economy and enriched his national strength. He once became a well-deserved overlord among the Eastern countries."

"Oh, this king is very interesting?" As a monarch, Alexander subconsciously compared himself to the King Zhuang of Chu, which Lao Yu said. "Is he the kind of existence that is born with a sensible vision and a group of wisdom that is unmatched? It is really hard for me to imagine how a monarch who is addicted to wine and sex and does not care about political affairs can do that even if he is cheered up? There are no trivial matters in the country, and often requires wise people to guide him from the side and slowly accumulate experience to become familiar. And like the king in your story, even if he is born smart, can he still have such experience in nature?"

"Someone asked this king a word. He was the king's minister. He was very worried about this situation. So one day he heard that the king was drinking and eating meat, listening to music and dancing again. He bumped into it and asked the king when he faced it. He said, "I heard that there is a kind of bird in the country that lives in your palace. It has been three years since it has not sing or flying. It makes people really unable to guess what kind of bird it is."

Speaking of this, Lao Yu coughed twice. It was not only a way to keep it aside, but also to take advantage of the opportunity to take off Alexander's hand holding his shoulder.

Although Alexander looks like he is only in his thirties, he is only a son for Lao Yu in terms of age. But the physiques of the two are really not of the same level. Alexander is a famous brave king, and he can even kill lions alone. This is reflected in his physique. He is a strong man close to two meters tall, with a big waist, a round waist, a tiger's back and a bear's waist. His fierce eyes, coupled with a beard like a lion's mane, are simply the most realistic portrayal of the word "savage man".

In comparison, Lao Yu is not young, and although his figure is not too short, he is not too tall. He reads and writes all year round and left eye diseases, and his glasses are as thick as the bottom of a bottle. Later, he opened a market here in Egypt, and his life was comfortable and he even grew a large beer belly. This kind of person is referred to as a greasy uncle in middle-aged and elderly people. In terms of combat effectiveness, Alexander probably won’t breathe if he fights Lao Yu like him.

So after being photographed by Alexander for a few shots, he really felt like he was about to be disbanded. But he was not easy to tell the truth on the surface, so he could only take this opportunity to escape from his claws. Of course, his story still needs to be continued.

"When the king heard his minister ask him this, he said this. He said, this bird is not an ordinary bird. He did not fly for three years, just to soar into the sky. But if it did not sing for three years, it was to make a splash. This is the phoenix, the king among the hundreds of birds."

"I think I understand what you mean, Mr. Lao Yu." Adding a gentleman after the title of Mr. Lao Yu means that Alexander is already impressed by his knowledge. This is not embarrassing for a king, because no one has ever stipulated that the king must be the kind of existence that is better than everyone in knowledge.

A true king does not need to have the best knowledge or the most extraordinary courage. All he needs is the broadest mind. Being able to accommodate all existences better than him, and having the consciousness and courage to use it for him. This is the quality that a king should have.

Alexander was undoubtedly the real king. He was able to go from a small city-state in a remote Greek region like Macedonia to almost conquering half of the world, but it was not just a brave man. He was able to embrace all rivers and try to integrate all beautiful and powerful things into his system. This was the real key to his becoming a king.

The same was true at this time. He obviously heard something from Lao Yu's story that benefited him a lot. This also made him even more excited to pat Lao Yu's shoulder, and said to him with bright eyes like a lustful person seeing a beauty.

"This king's image of being addicted to wine and sex for three years is just what he deliberately shows. In fact, he has made sufficient preparations in secret, just waiting for a perfect opportunity to take everything into his own hands. This is probably the same as what you said before to attack him and be surprised by surprise. But you have to be more forbearing and ambitious."

"Mr. Old Yu, I'm indeed right. You are really a wise scholar. You can pick up such philosophical stories at will. This is not something that ordinary knowledgeable people can do. In short, be my helper. Mr. Old Yu, think about your wisdom as the cornerstone of our conquering the world. Isn't such achievements enough to make you feel excited?"

"No, I..." Old Yu really wanted to say, I'm not the person you think, I'm not as capable as you say, so don't say anything like that, but Alexander didn't give him such a chance. Instead, he pinched his shoulder tightly by patting the gap in his shoulder, and said to him in a tone that I don't want you to think, I just want me to think.

"Mr. Lao Yu. I don't understand why you always have a kind of rejection, but I can guess that you may not have the opportunity to reveal all the things you have learned in your life. And this is exactly what I think is the most sad thing."

"What are we coming to this world for? Is it just for us? No, in my opinion, we come to this world to do something, whether it is the right thing or the wrong thing. We always have to leave a little trace and leave something to prove that we have been here. We have not wasted this brilliant, short, beautiful and regrettable life."

"Just like me. Mr. Lao Yu, if you have studied my life, it will be revealed. My life is actually not long. For humans, the short thirty-three years should be golden years, and it is the time when a good man can make a fortune. However, the disease took my life at that time, and before I could even see the end of the world, I had fallen on my journey. What a pity, but if you ask me if I have regretted my life like this, I can tell you with the most resolute and loudest voice that a person can make, I have never been under pressure, the king of Macedonia, the Iskandar in the Persian population, and the conqueror of the world. I will never regret it. My life was spent in such wars and conquests."

"How many people can become the conquerors of thousands of miles of land like me? How many people can be worshipped by men, women, elderly people and children like me? I have established my own country and left my reputation so that my name can be passed down by the whole mankind until millions of years later. What a wonderful life this is, even if I have a little regret, I will never regret it. Even if I come again, even if I know in advance that I will die of illness in that foreign country, I will ride on my horse and take my loyal soldiers to the place without hesitation! And what about you?"

"Mr. Old Yu, can you be as regretless as me in your life? Can you be as proud as me to claim to the world that I have been here?"

"I don't know what kind of life you were like in your lifetime, but I think that as long as you are a man, you will have the opportunity to sing your name forever. Many people will never get this opportunity in their entire lives, but now, I, Alexander, have already placed this opportunity before you. Mr. Yu, God has given you a second chance, so that you can be lucky enough to come to me and make a choice again. And how will you choose?"

"I spent these three months in obscurity, like all ordinary men, never leaving their own names until they die. Until all your relatives and friends have forgotten you, they will completely disappear on this world, as if they have never been to this world. Or do you want to engrave your name on history like me, so that all those who view history can see your existence by turning on the pages. Even after your life and death soul is destroyed, will it be remembered forever by the world?"

"I......"

This time, the man who claimed to be Lao Yu and thought he was just a salted fish, his false heart was already beating restlessly.

Ambition, this thing that had never been cute in him, but had never been lost from him, began to grow wildly in his heart like weeds moistened by rain.

He was a mediocre person, and he was tolerant and retreat all his life. In his early years, he wanted to be a good teacher, but he had to give up because of various accidents. He ran abroad with all his money, and he had no intention of escaping. What was the result? It was probably just forgotten, just as Alexander said, as if he had never been there. And he asked himself, was this really what he wanted?

Of course the answer is no. Anyone who lives again would have such an idea. Of course, he is no exception, so at this time, he finally sighed and then knelt down on one knee at Alexander.

"I thank you for your unabandonment, my lord. Maybe just like you said, I really don't want to be as obscured as before my life in these last three months, as I did before my life, until I died. So, since you are willing to believe me and think that I have the ability to help you complete your regrets, I will do my best to do my best to die until I die until the world surrenders to your feet! Let the world remember that I am Yuqian... have been here!"
