Fear came over him like an overwhelming wave. Zai Chun's mouth and nose were blocked by sea water and he couldn't breathe. The monster dragged him down into the endless abyss of the sea and continued to sink!
Endless, surrounded by strange monster-like deep-sea creatures, with sharp fangs, round eyes and smooth scales... one by one, they rushed towards him like yaksha demons.
What made Zaichun even more painful was the huge pressure in the deep sea. He felt like he was almost turning into a paper man!
In a daze, the octopus-like North Sea monster actually had a face like the master's and was glaring at him to put pressure on him.
"It's not enough. You still haven't figured it out. You loser. I'm going to kick you out of the door. I will never recognize you as my apprentice again!"
"Idiot, waste, idiot... your so-called understanding is nothing more than picking up the wisdom of others and knowing a few old sayings that everything in the world is beneficial!"
"This is a truth that even a three-year-old child understands. If you use this kind of thinking to govern the country, sooner or later you will be eaten by others, and no bones and dregs will be left!"
"Since you don't have the ability, then abdicate! Why don't you still be an emperor? Why don't you go back and become a rich man? Live your life to the fullest!"
"By the way, aren't you lustful? Don't you like women? Abdicate and let someone else be the emperor... Why would he give you thousands of stunning beauties?"
"Just die on a woman's belly! A fool like you will never succeed!"
"No...no..." Zai Chun had enough, and he roared angrily in Xiao Letian's face.
"You are the worst master I have ever seen in my life. There is no other master like you! Where did I go wrong? Why can't you just tell me!"
"Master Li Hongzao and Master Weng Tonghe are not as cruel as you. I don't understand that they can teach me, but you refuse to teach me or tell me the answer!"
"You are the worst master in the world...the worst..."
"Hahaha... Really? Am I the worst? Then you are also the worst apprentice, the most useless apprentice in the world!"
"Didn't you say that interests come first? Then let me ask you, whether it's Britain or Germany, will they directly send troops to help you suppress the Japanese Sixth Army for the sake of profit?"
"Hahaha... they won't. As long as they dare to do this, they will be judged under international law, and their domestic parliament will not pass it!"
"There is nothing wrong with the alliance of interests, but will the alliance of interests make them give everything for you? Are you a fool! Don't you think about how much restrictions they will be subject to if they help you openly?"
"Don't you understand what diplomatic pressure is? Don't you understand what cooperation means? Britain and Germany have come together with you, wouldn't the Japanese Six go to Tsarist Russia and France?"
"You idiot, you only know how to boast and talk about ancient classics like those sour Confucian scholars!"
"There is no flexibility at all, you don't understand anything!"
"Zaichun, why don't you think about it? You fought with the Japanese six times in the capital and it was like this. You have already seen blood. Why don't the British people in Dongjiaominxiang say a word?"
"Aren't you allies of interest? Why do they just watch you suffer without reaching out?"
"You fool! You fool... you still haven't understood it yet. Why don't you understand where the source of your power lies?"
"Master, let me remind you one last thing. This is my final point. If you don't understand it anymore, there's nothing I can do about it!"
The giant octopus in the abyss... no no no... I should say the giant sea monster octopus with the face of the elder Xiao Letian looked at Zai Chun who fell into the abyss with pity.
"Son... do you really think your ally is the British government? Do you really think those military aids were given to you by the British government?"
"Has your money been voted by the British Parliament?"
"No, nothing. Your money has not been approved by the government at all, and it has not passed through the British treasury at all!"
"You still don't understand? You've been studying with me for five years, why don't you understand yet!"
boom! It was as if a volcano suddenly erupted in the deep sea. Zai Chun was shocked out of his body by Xiao Letian's words. At that moment, a transparent feeling rushed from his Tianling Gai into his heart.
So thorough! Zai Chun came out all at once!
"Oh my god! Master, I understand! I understand! Hahahaha..."
"Hahaha...Master, I am so stupid! I am such a big fool. How could I be so stupid as to think that the British and German governments are my allies?"
"That's not right! It's all screwed up, hahaha... I was wrong, Master, I was wrong, hahaha..."
"What a fool! It's not the British government that supports me at all, my allies are actually capitalists!"
"Oh my god...the people who gave me money are those capitalists who are optimistic about the future market of the Qing Dynasty and are prepared to invest in the long term!"
"Master, you have told me a long time ago that capital has no national boundaries, and money is not patriotic! They just follow their own laws and operate in this world!"
"I'm such a fool. I always thought that the people standing behind me were official bodies with concrete forms. In fact, that's not the case. The core of my real strength should be Europe's profit-seeking capital!"
"Yes, yes...those capitalists who are trying to make a lot of money in the Qing Dynasty are my allies, my die-hard allies!"
"The power of capital is the original power that I can really rely on!"
Crash... The deep sea disappeared, and the master and apprentice returned to the secluded bay on the east coast of Naha, Ryukyu. Xiao Letian was cooking a pot of crab porridge under the sunset.
Emperor Tongzhi's face was covered in charcoal black, and he was constantly adding firewood. The setting sun cast a long glow, making the shadows of the two of them long and red!
"Child, try the porridge you cooked with your own hands! You should understand now that the food you cook by yourself is the sweetest, and the truth you understand by yourself is also the most profound!"
"Now do you still expect me to give you advice? You have found the key, can't you still formulate a counterattack strategy?"
Zai Chun straightened his clothes, knelt on his knees in front of Xiao Letian and said respectfully, "Thank you! Teacher, please give me some advice!"
Xiao Letian's secret letter, which was more than ten pages long, was turned into ashes in the brazier. At this moment, Zai Chun was like an enlightened old monk, looking at the sky and the earth.
The black paper dust is flying like a butterfly in the Qinzheng Qinxian Palace!
"Perhaps this is what it feels like to break out of a cocoon and become a butterfly!"
"Master... I will love Xinjueluo Zaichun all my life... and I will respect you as my father from the bottom of my heart!"
Taking a deep breath of the turbid air in his chest, Zai Chun said loudly, "Get ready for the chariot. I will go to pay my respects to the Queen Mother. Since you want me to get married, don't delay it any longer!"
"Go and check immediately to see where General Gordon has arrived, and order him to enter Beijing quickly!"
"The show is about to begin! I don't believe this evil anymore! Do you, Prince Gong, really think that you are omnipotent?"
