In this world, the truth is sometimes very important, so important that people can fight for and seek it at the cost of their lives.
But sometimes no one cares about the truth at all, because compared to what actually happened, people want to know what will change if such a result occurs and what they can gain.
This is a side effect of the development of rationality to the extreme due to knowledge and profound knowledge - refined self-interest. It also has a beautified name - superior thinking.
Is the thinking after suppressing the natural instinct of joy, anger, sorrow, joy and fear absolutely correct? In fact, it is not necessarily the case, but it is undeniable that it must be relatively correct and respected by people.
It is precisely because of this that the shared "superior thinking" seems to have become a tacit understanding between "smart people", while emotional behavior has become synonymous with recklessness and stupidity.
Therefore, the perpetrator is rational and can ignore the truth and even call a deer a horse; the victim must become more rational in order to be called smart. The so-called rationality means recognizing the established "facts" and then striving for the best interests for oneself.
This is undoubtedly extremely anti-human.
For example, now, Zhao Min and Wang Baobao have lost completely. Not only will they be blamed for "regicide," they will also be implicated in hundreds of members of their family being executed. Their whole family will be regarded as traitors and will be infamy for the nation forever.
.
The initiator of all this is Su Yi, and they definitely have reason to hate Su Yi to the core.
Having figured out all this, Wang Baobao almost rushed forward to fight Su Yi desperately. He would rather be broken into pieces at all costs.
From an emotional point of view, this is right, but from a superior's perspective, this is undoubtedly "immature".
Compared with Wang Baobao, Zhao Min is more rational, recognizes the reality, accepts the reality, and uses this as a basis to survive and wants to keep the green hills.
From an emotional point of view, this is undoubtedly frustrating, but from a superior's perspective, this is smart and mature.
But is a rational person necessarily right?
Who can say that Zhao Min and Wang Baobao are wrong if they refuse to compromise even to the death? They must be stupid?
At least it can beat the odds and make Su Yi lose everything, and it will set a good example.
Breaking out of the trap of short-term interests and looking at it from a more macro perspective, if everyone in this world was passionate and uncompromising, instead of being dominated by the thinking of those in power, would the world be more truthful, good, and beautiful?
It's a pity that this is always impossible, because rationality is what people pursue and praise. Zhao Min is not the only one who is exquisitely self-interested, but Su Yi is also like this. Thousands of Su Yi and Zhao Min are like this.
"There are more than 400 people in the Ruyang Prince's Mansion. The elders are already seventy years old, and the younger ones are still in their infancy! My mother, uncles and aunts, and my nephew..." Zhao Min had tears in his eyes.
Looking at Su Yi, "I can bear the unwarranted charges, and I can bear the price for failure, but they are not guilty!"
"Su Yi, my brother and I are willing to leave Dadu with you, and our Ruyang Palace is also willing to form an alliance with the rebels to fight against the Borzhijin clan! But I beg you, save my family! They should not be so unjust.
And die, they are innocent!"
"Minmin! Don't ask for him! Don't ask for him!" Wang Baobao roared with grief and anger, staring at Su Yi with hatred in his eyes, gritting his teeth...
Zhao Min didn't answer, but stared at Su Yi persistently, wanting an answer.
Su Yi said calmly: "Which Han who died at the hands of you Mongols in the past few decades was not innocent or unjust? King Ruyang started his career with military exploits. He did many things to exterminate families and cities. His hands were stained with the blood of Han people. I did not personally
It would be a mercy to rush into Prince Ruyang's palace and wipe out all of you, but you still want me to save people?"
"Su Yi, you went to great lengths to pin the charge of regicide on us, not just so that the court could destroy our Ruyang Palace and replace it with someone else to take over the military power! In that case, nothing will change for you!
Zhao Min said excitedly, "Stop pretending, I know your purpose. You want us to turn against the royal family and make us kill each other! But if you really want to do this, you can't be so vicious and cruel, otherwise our royal family would rather
The fish is dead and the net is broken!”
"Do you have a choice?" Su Yi smiled faintly, "Miss Zhao, when it comes to this position, you still want to play tricks with me? What conditions you mentioned should not be asked by me at all, but by you.
I!"
"Yuan Ting will never tolerate the lineage of King Ruyang. Either you will be captured without mercy and be punished by the whole family for the reputation of regicide, or you can only cooperate with us and beg us to accept you. You will not be there when Yuan Ting attacks you.
I’m pushing you again from behind. In the current situation, it’s you who want to live.”
Su Yi looked at Zhao Min: "As for whether you are willing to leave Dadu with us? Miss Zhao, it depends on whether I am willing to take you away! If I don't care about you, I can guarantee that even if you are not caught by the court, I will
You will be killed by Yuan Zhen quickly! It is impossible for you and your brother to leave here alive!"
"And if you can't pass the news here to King Ruyang in time, he will know nothing about the situation here, and he will probably be killed and seize power without knowing it..."
"Stop talking! You devil!" Zhao Min glared at Su Yi hatefully, "Why are you so cruel to me?
"We are enemies." Su Yi said.
Zhao Min stared at Su Yi, tears falling down his cheeks.
But Su Yi just looked at her with indifferent eyes, his expression not changing at all.
Zhao Min gave up. She knew that this man would not show any mercy to her. His cruelty was far beyond her imagination.
"Dadu will be sealed off soon, followed by the whole city of Dasuo," Su Yi said without emotion, "If you and Brother Wang still want to leave here alive, rather than being caught by the royal family and used to threaten Ruyang
If the king is captured without a fight, you should know what to do. Miss Zhao, you are a smart person, but at this critical moment of life and death, I advise you to be a little stupid, and don't be fooled by your cleverness."
After that, he turned to the side and said to Zhang Sanfeng and Master Miejie, who had regained their appearance and tidied up their appearance: "There is no need to touch their acupoints anymore. If they want to leave later, just let them go."
Wang Baobao waited for Su Yi to finish his words and turned around to leave. As expected, Su Yi didn't even raise his eyelids, as if he hadn't seen him before.
But Zhao Min stopped him: "Brother!"
"Our family is all in danger! My aunt, grandma, and your sisters-in-law and nephews, can you just watch them die?" Wang Baobao turned around and roared, emotional...
"But if you go out like this, not only will you not be able to save them, you will have to be arrested together with them!" Zhao Min said hurriedly, "Brother! Don't be impulsive! Everything depends on us now, don't act out of emotion!"
"They won't help us! Minmin!" Wang Baobao shouted excitedly.
"I know, so we have to leave alive first, and then help ourselves!" Zhao Min said, "Brother, only when you are alive can you have hope. If you die, there will be nothing!"
Wang Baobao wanted to say something more, but Zhao Min suddenly had a sharp voice and said a few words in Mongolian hastily. Wang Baobao seemed to be greatly shocked, stood there stunned, and then slumped.
As Su Yi expected, Prince Aiyou Shili Dara has stepped forward to take charge of the overall situation. The first order he issued was to seal off the entire city and implement city ban management. No one in the city, no matter the powerful or the common people, was allowed to leave the house or enter the city.
Stay in the street lanes.
The prince cried bitterly and vowed to catch the murderer of his father. He ordered that all the children and the whole family of Prince Ruyang be imprisoned, and declared Prince Ruyang to be a traitor. At the same time, he summoned all the generals and ministers to the palace to discuss matters.
Want to take advantage of the opportunity to gain power.
With the order to ban the city, groups of soldiers patrolling the streets almost killed everyone they saw, without any regard for crime. The originally bustling city suddenly fell silent. At this time, Su Yi and others would look particularly abrupt as soon as they went out.
It is conspicuous and will be attacked immediately once its whereabouts are discovered. This will undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble for Su Yi and others to escape.
If it's just to escape from the city, that's fine. The key is that Su Yi has to save people from the six major sects. If Yuan Ting discovers his purpose, he will take more than a thousand people from the six major sects and want to
Escape would be unrealistic.
No matter how powerful Su Yi was, he could not protect so many people from being surrounded by thousands of troops.
Therefore, as time passes, Su Yi becomes more careful and tries not to reveal his purpose.
The arrest of the six major sects was a huge event for Jianghu, and it was certainly extraordinary for a front-line general like King Ruyang, but for the imperial court, it was of no importance at all.
At this moment, the imperial court was still reeling from the news of the emperor's murder, but if it came to its senses, it might not think of taking over the prisoners of the six major sects.
Besides, there is a hidden danger in this matter. Su Yi has not forgotten it, but now there is no need for Su Yi to worry about——
Cheng Kun!
Cheng Kun was once again taken advantage of by Su Yi, and when he came to his senses and realized the truth, he was shocked.
He couldn't figure out why killing Su Yi turned into regicide. He couldn't understand why what he saw with his own eyes was not true.
He suspected that there was something wrong with his mind. He suspected that he was abnormal, maybe crazy.
When did it start?
Guangmingding, after seeing the ghost of Yang Dingtian at Guangmingding, everything became abnormal!
For Su Yi, Cheng Kun is definitely a hidden danger, because as long as this person thinks about it, he can easily figure out that Su Yi will definitely not sit idly by and ignore the six major factions, so if he guards the six major factions, he will definitely be able to defend Su Yi.
Cause trouble for Su Yi.
According to Cheng Kun's long-standing behavior, he doesn't even need to take action himself. He only needs to hide behind the scenes and secretly reveal information to Yuan Ting, which can cause huge trouble to Su Yi's plan to rescue the six major sects, and may even cause the plan to fail directly.
.…
Therefore, it was impossible for Su Yi not to be on guard against this trick. He had already arranged for a kid to lure Cheng Kun to him and then kill him because he felt that Cheng Kun's main value had been drained out, leaving him with nothing left.
It doesn’t matter if you add a little bit of oil or water.
But Su Yi didn't expect that Cheng Kun would be scared out of his wits.
After realizing that he was not killing Su Yi, but the emperor, Cheng Kun chose to run away directly.
He didn't care about anything, didn't want anything, and just ran away from the city.
Although the Yuan army sealed the city, it certainly could not seal a master like Cheng Kun. He escaped from the city and ran south without stopping.
The interaction between Su Yi and the kid was also limited by distance. The kid couldn't be too far away from Su Yi, so after chasing him out of the city for a while, the kid withdrew in frustration.
This was the first time that the kid was frustrated in front of Cheng Kun, an old customer - because Cheng Kun's will to escape was too firm and unswerving, no matter how much the kid tried to seduce and create illusions, he could not break his will, leaving the kid unable to do anything to Cheng Kun.
.
This is also another limitation of the little ghost. If he encounters someone with a very strong will or a righteous person, the little ghost will usually be unable to do anything to him.
Although he failed to kill Cheng Kun, at least this hidden danger no longer existed.
So Su Yi, with the help of Xiaogui's investigation, avoided the Yuan army's patrol, and the group quickly approached Wan'an Temple.
"Why?"
Although Zhao Min had decided to fully compromise with Su Yi in exchange for the chance of her and her brother's survival, she still felt a little frustrated that Su Yi knew that she had hidden people in Wan'an Temple.
Because she had done everything she could, she thought she had kept it secret enough.
It's not that she didn't expect Su Yi to find Wan'an Temple, but at least it shouldn't be so soon.
"Why do you always know what I am doing? Su Yi, are you a god or a ghost?" Zhao Min looked at Su Yi with a complicated expression and asked.
"How can ghosts and gods care about human affairs?" Su Yi said calmly.
Wan'an Temple is right in front of you. It is located in the west of Dadu City and is surrounded by flat and open areas.
In a place like Dadu where land is at a premium, it is rare to find such a large open space, which is also a strange sight.
This Wan'an Temple was first built by the Khitans, when this was still Nanjing in the Liao Dynasty.
Later, after several wars, only one tall tower was left standing in the temple. Kublai Khan was visiting this place on an outing. At that time, a tantric lama was accompanying him, so he proposed to build a temple and open a temple here to promote Buddhism.
Kublai Khan readily agreed, so he stood on the top of the tower, bent his bow and nocked an arrow, shot an arrow, and told the lama that with the top of the tower as the center and the place where the arrow landed as the radius, everything within this circle can be allocated to
Tantra builds temples.
He also enthusiastically named the temple himself - Mahatma Shou Wan'an Temple, expressing the hope of peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
It is precisely for this reason that there is such a large open space around the Wan'an Temple, because it is the private property of the temple, and even if it is empty, it is not allowed to be occupied by others.
Nowadays, the Wan'an Temple has long since declined and is just an ordinary lamasery. Therefore, it was requisitioned by Zhao Min as a place to imprison the masters of the six major sects.
Because this place is so remote and few people visit it, it feels like it is isolated from the world.
Most of the temple has been in turmoil, but this Wan'an Temple is still peaceful and peaceful. The door is open, and you can faintly hear Zen singing inside. On the stone bench under the tree next to the door, there are two lamas playing chess leisurely.
Of course, this is just an appearance. Zhao Min deliberately created the appearance of being loose on the outside and tight on the inside, so as not to arouse suspicion.
In fact, there are thousands of ambushes and masters in this temple. It has long become a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, just waiting for Su Yi to step into this fatal trap.
