Yao Guangxiao looked shocked. Zhu Su always said that he wanted to be a free king, but he didn't believe it. He was proficient in the art of reading people's faces, and he could naturally tell that Zhu Su had an extremely huge and unknown ambition buried in his heart.
Perhaps even His Highness himself was not aware of this ambition. But Yao Guangxiao saw it.
This is why Yao Guangxiao has always been willing to compromise and follow Zhu Su: as long as His Highness is ambitious, he will not worry about not having the opportunity to use his talents to make contributions. And as a prince, what other ambitions could he have? Of course...
But today, Yao Guangxiao suddenly realized that he seemed to have thought wrong.
As for the knock in Zhu Su's words, he naturally heard it. His Highness did not like that he wanted to persuade him to take the opportunity to deal with a hero like Zhang Dingbian, and was not happy with such a vicious intention.
"It's a poor monk who talks too much." Yao Guangxiao bowed his head slightly and retreated. Zhu Su saw that he understood the meaning of his words, so he nodded and stopped pursuing it. Yao Guangxiao retreated behind Zhu Su.
...It doesn't matter, even if His Highness really wants to integrate the heroes of China and unify the universe, and if he wants to achieve such an ambitious goal, sooner or later, His Highness will inevitably begin to desire supreme power.
Before that, just do what His Highness wants.
…
Zhang Dingbian finished the hundred or so sticks forcefully. Even though he was a giant man made of iron, he was completely dripping with blood at this moment. He reluctantly stood up and gave Zhu Su a heroic hug: "Little King Wu of the Ming Dynasty, we have already received these one hundred sticks, can we let this little girl Chen Hui live?"
"Okay." Zhu Su couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, with a little admiration in his eyes. "With such a heroic protector as Zhang Jushi, how can I be so stubborn as to take the life of a mere thief? As long as she never sets foot in our Chinese territory or harms our Chinese people, I will naturally not bother to take her life. "
"Okay! Okay! What the abbot said is indeed true. Although you are young, you are a good prince!" Zhang Dingbian laughed. Then the iron tower-like body went limp and fell down on his back.
"Brother Zhang!" "Jushi Zhang?"
Seeing Zhang Dingbian fall, everyone around was shocked, and Zhu Su couldn't help but take a step forward. A ranger closest to Zhang Dingbian quickly supported him, checked his breathing, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Zhang is fine, he just fainted."
Zhu Su also breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said: "Quickly ask Dai Sigongdai, the miracle doctor, to diagnose and treat layman Zhang." Now is a great opportunity to show kindness to Zhang Dingbian, Zhu Su is not stupid.
Hearing that the Ming Dynasty prince actually taught the famous Doctor Dai to treat his elder brother Zhang's injuries, the rangers who followed Zhang Dingbian were naturally very grateful. Zhu Su then ordered: "Come on, go and tie up Chen Hui. Tie her under the wall of the east city, and let the people who died because the Japanese bandits forced them to attack the city see what she looks like." !”
Chen Hui suddenly felt like she was dead. If she were to be tied up and exposed and scorned by others, it would be better to teach her to die. She screamed: "Zhu Su! Those who colluded with the Japanese pirates are from the Zhang family, what does it have to do with me?" ?”
"You promised my uncle to spare my life, are you going to break your promise now?"
"The Zhang family colluded with the Japanese pirates. Don't you, Zhang Ren's pillow, know?" Zhu Su glanced at him coldly. "Originally, I wanted to cast you into a kneeling statue and place it with the heads of Zhang Ren and Zhang Li to pay homage to the souls of Sergeant Su Song and the common people."
"However, I have promised to layman Zhang, and I will spare your life for the time being. If I were you, I should have committed suicide before, so as not to be greedy for life and afraid of death, and make a hero like layman Zhang suffer the pain of more than a hundred military sticks. .”
"Go hang him up for three days and feel how it feels to be reviled by all the people."
Chen Hui still wanted to yell and scold, but Zhu Su turned away and left without even bothering to look at the woman again. Chen Hui turned her attention to Zhang Dingbian and the rangers for help. Zhang Dingbian hadn't woken up yet, but the rangers who were supposed to save him turned their backs on her and regarded her as an enemy.
One by one, instead of hating Zhu Su, they regarded Chen Hui as the culprit who caused Zhang Dingbian to be beaten.
Everyone rebels and relatives leave.
Chen Hui only felt as if he was falling into a bottomless abyss...
…
"Go down and take good care of Zhang Dingbian, and don't allow anyone to be rude to him." As Zhu Su walked away, he ordered Di Meng who came back to guard him. He looked at Di Meng's injured arm, hesitated for a moment and asked, "How was it injured? Is it serious?"
"It doesn't matter, Your Highness. We were fighting against the ranger under Zhang Dingbian, and he was accidentally..." Di Meng felt ashamed. Among King Wu's guards, he is also considered one of the best, and there are many people who pride themselves on their martial arts skills.
But I never thought that each mountain is higher than the other. Having been taught a lesson by Zong Laosan, who was wearing human armor, he already knew that people like him were still a little immature after all, and there was still some gap between them and real warriors fighting to the death in the battlefield.
But later, he was defeated by Zhang Dingbian at random, so that was nothing more. Today, even the rangers under Zhang Dingbian are no match for him...
"...It doesn't matter. You are a talented general, but you have made mistakes. The courage of an ordinary man is not your strength. In the past, you always liked to confront the strong, but you didn't know that soldiers are inherently deceitful."
"Now that I have understood my shortcomings, I can focus on nothing else in the future and work harder on how to lead troops." Seeing that Di Meng was a little doubtful about life, Zhu Su persuaded him.
"Yes." Di Meng bowed.
"Monk." Zhu Su turned to ask Yao Guangxiao. "A mere ranger can actually injure Di Meng. Are there really so many masters among rangers in the world?"
"Amitabha, there are indeed many masters among the knights." Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together. "Since the pre-Qin Dynasty, we, the Chinese rangers, have always been crouching tigers, hidden dragons."
"But Your Highness, don't worry too much. Although these rangers are good at martial arts, their martial arts moves are very fancy. Small-scale combat is okay, but if they are attacked with a large army, it is of little use."
"General Di Meng actually suffered from his unwillingness to bully the minority with more and underestimated the enemy."
"Small-scale combat..." Zhu Su touched his chin. Just a dozen rangers, under the leadership of Zhang Dingbian, can storm the dungeon and kidnap the prisoners.
Most of these knights do not abide by the law and do not understand justice. They only pay attention to the loyalty of the Jianghu. If they were allowed to run rampant in the countryside, it would also be a big source of chaos for the court. This is what is said about chivalrous men using force to offend taboos.
But if these people can be mobilized and organized into soldiers, it is not realistic, but if they are allowed to attack behind enemy lines, create chaos, or even establish an underground gang in the enemy country, they should cooperate inside and outside at critical times...
These rangers must be extremely useful!
"Well... if we can find a way to instill national justice into these rangers and encourage them to voluntarily strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation throughout their lives..." Zhu Su began to think about how to instill values in the rangers.
"Your Highness King Wu!" As he was about to enter the government office, a soldier happened to come hurriedly from the corner of the street. When he saw Zhu Su, he hurried forward to greet him.
"Huh? What's the matter?" Zhu Su asked.
"Your Highness, I'm here to guard the prisoner camp outside the city. I was originally going to dig a thousand-man pit at the beach today and bury all the Japanese pirates."
"But there was a man who shouted that he was an envoy of a high-ranking Japanese official. He also knew the location of the treasures that the Japanese pirates had hoarded for many years, and threatened to see His Highness!" the young official reported.
