"Time can really make people forget a lot of things, whether it's people, things, or the past history..." Standing under Dongchang City, Zhang Ren couldn't help but sigh like this.
I remember that when Zhang Ren came to Dongchang City, affected by the Jingnan crisis, Dongchang City was extremely deserted. There were no pedestrians on the streets, and the doors and windows of every house were closed. The whole city was like a dead city.
But now two years have passed since the Battle of Dongchang, and the Battle of Jingnan has finally ended. The person on the throne has also been changed from Zhu Yunzhen to Zhu Di, and everything has changed.
The blood that was spilled under Dongchang City is no longer there, and there is no sign that it has experienced war.
The hustle and bustle of Dongchang City seems to have left the pain of the past behind. Looking at the pedestrians coming and going in and out of the city gate, Zhang Ren couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. They all said that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, but among the people coming and going, how many people would care about the changes in the world?
Not to mention changing the emperor, I'm afraid they would still be like this in another dynasty. Zhang Ren stood here for a long time, until he saw the beggars in Dongchang City, he felt relieved.
Whenever he sees beggars, he always thinks of Yuan Bao and Xu Haoyuan, but ordinary beggars don't have the light in their eyes like Yuan Bao and Xu Haoyuan.
In the beggar's blank eyes, all he wants is to live. And most of the people who come in and out, all they want is simple food and clothing.
So no matter who is the emperor, or whether the world changes, what does this have to do with them? The Ming Dynasty did not provide enough benefits to the people at the bottom, so the people had no responsibility to the country.
As long as their lives are still alive, what they care most about is whether the price of food will increase tomorrow and whether taxes will be higher in the coming year.
In such an era of low productivity, it is not easy to live, so why should we expect too much from others? Zhang Ren shook his head gently and walked into Dongchang City.
He spent two years in a coma. Fortunately, he had the Nine-Yang Divine Art and the Great Shift of the Universe in his body to protect his body. In addition to being a little weak and unable to walk when he first woke up, he was also very thin. After resting for more than ten years, From then on, he could walk as fast as flying and move freely.
During the days of recovery, Zhang Ren had been thinking about one thing, and that was what was the meaning of his own time travel. Some people traveled through time to cultivate immortality, and some people achieved immortality through time travel, but what about himself?
But everything he handles seems to be a mess. Even if some things finally achieve their goals, the process is extremely painful, and there will always be people close to them who die for one reason or another.
This is extremely torturous. Zhang Ren himself felt that he was too much of a nuisance, killing everyone around him. Every time he looked at Yin Tongyi and Tongyi, he always felt a little worried in his heart.
Zhang Ren asked himself that apart from martial arts, he probably didn't know anything else. Even if he brought some knowledge from later generations, it would not be enough for him to hold up a sky in this era.
Thinking about it this way, my own time travel does not seem to have much significance. If this is the case, then you can just peacefully be an ordinary person. Working at sunrise and resting at sunset every day. Watching the historical changes in the Ming Dynasty is a good life experience.
After thinking about this, Zhang Ren left a letter and quietly left Wudang Mountain. He didn't know where the road ahead was, but fortunately he still had a Full Moon Inn in Dongchang City. The name of this inn carried a lot of his expectations, so a new life would begin here.
In fact, it is difficult for a person of later generations to truly integrate into history. Even the most basic understanding of people from different eras is hugely different.
Fortunately, Zhang Ren has made his position very clear, that is, to become a witness to this period of history.
Passing through the bustling crowd, he arrived at the Full Moon Inn. He thought that the inn would be abandoned in two years, but everything he saw here looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.
And the door of the inn is open and it seems to be still open for business. Zhang Ren's face was full of doubts. This was wrong. The Full Moon Inn should be his own property. The deeds of the house and land here are still with him.
Could it be that someone took advantage of this property while he was away? Where does this make sense? Is there any heavenly principle?
Is there any royal method? I'll go in and check the situation later. If someone really takes over, I'll cut that person into eighteen pieces.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ren was suddenly startled. Looking back on the past, he found that he was still affected by this era. It seemed that he had more lives on his hands and he really didn't take other people's lives seriously.
He quickly shook his head and decided not to cut it into eighteen pieces, but to take him directly to see the official. Zhang Ren entered the Full Moon Inn with anger. As expected, the inn was open for business at the moment, and unlike before, the Full Moon Inn was now overcrowded.
The waiter in the store knew what was going on. He put on a smile and bowed to Zhang Ren and asked: "Guest sir, you are a noble person at first sight. It is our blessing that our Full Moon Inn can receive customers like you. I don’t know if I’m a guest or staying in a hotel?
"This waiter is eloquent and much smarter than the previous waiter. It's no wonder. The previous waiter was just a hidden identity. His official position was Jinyiwei. Now the one in front of him is the real waiter.
Zhang Ren frowned slightly and asked the waiter: "Do you recognize me?" The waiter still smiled and nodded and said: "Of course I recognize you. Aren't you a distinguished guest of our Full Moon Inn? .
"Zhang Ren frowned a little deeper, and then said: "Where is your boss? Let him come out to see me.
"The waiter was also confused for a moment. On weekdays, people often come to see their boss. They open an inn to welcome guests, and they receive either tourists or merchants. When there are many guests, it will always be difficult to coordinate. Even if they serve attentively, it will be difficult. Take care of every customer's preferences.
Therefore, customers often come to the boss to complain. But what happened to this person today? Are you complaining directly before consumption?
Is there something wrong with this program? Although the waiter was puzzled, he had good professionalism and still said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, our boss happened to be away.
"Zhang Ren didn't say much, and just found a corner to sit down. The waiter also followed up and wiped the table until it was shiny. Zhang Ren said, "Give me a bowl of noodles, two of your favorite side dishes, and a pot of the most expensive wine here. I'll be here in the hall." Wait for your boss.
"The waiter nodded and said, "Sir, please just invite me. The food will be here soon. You can wait for a while."
"After the waiter finished speaking, he immediately bowed and retreated. He seemed to sense that Zhang Ren was unkind. In addition to passing the dishes, he also told the shopkeeper that Zhang Ren was looking for the boss.
