Chapter 546 My father is a good man

In fact, most of Zhou Ming's words that exposed Jiang Ruyue's doubts about life were fabricated by him.

The reason why he saw through Jiang Ruyue's true identity was not simply because of a photo with a similar appearance.

After all, how many people with similar appearances are there in this world?The reason for guessing the real identity of others based on their appearance is really too forced.

But Jiang Ruyue was already in a mess, if she had been more determined in her mentality and denied it flatly, maybe she wouldn't be so easily bluffed.

It's just that she has lived in the deep palace for a long time, is proficient in power struggles, and is sophisticated in discussing the world, so of course she is not as good as Zhou Ming.

After letting her sit down, Zhou Ming calmed down, and Zhou Ming slowly stated his purpose.

Or not to mention the purpose, which is why he did it.

That is, the reason why Dongyuanzhou does not reject or oppose sending various "complex personnel" into Xuanqing City, and will not expel them.

peace.

For the peace between the two continents, for the sake of no more war between the two continents.

So Dong Yuanzhou seeks to become stronger, and he will not stop the opposition.

It even said that a certain amount of convenience could be provided within the allowable level.

"This……"

Hearing this reason, Jiang Ruyue was a little stunned.

peace.

It turns out that Mr. Bai is a pacifist who cares about the common people in the world.

Recalling the war ethics film directed by Mr. Bai not long ago, it really proved that he is a compassionate and peace-loving person.

"Mister's character is admirable, but even if you help me Dongyuanzhou, the war between the two continents may not be avoided. On the contrary, after Dongyuanzhou becomes stronger, the war between the two parties will become more protracted and tragic..."

Jiang Ruyue said that she disagreed with Mr. Bai's words. If Wan Chengguo insisted on destroying Dongyuanzhou, as long as he made up his mind and was willing to bear a higher price, it was still possible to swallow it down.

"No, as long as Dongyuanzhou does not take the initiative to provoke, Wancheng Kingdom will not start a war rashly. In the past 20 years of war, Wancheng Kingdom has indeed obtained huge benefits from it, but the heavy casualties, the rapid growth of domestic inflation, Let people realize that war is a double-edged sword, it can bring benefits, it can also bring harm, if the harm is equal to or exceeds the benefit, people will give up the war and prefer to live a relatively stable life."

"Currently, Wancheng Kingdom's external expansion momentum is not strong. As long as Wancheng Kingdom doesn't find a reason or excuse to launch a war, Dongyuanzhou doesn't have to worry too much in 20 years."

"If Dongyuanzhou can seize this short window of development and significantly enhance its own strength, Wan Chengguo will not do anything, and Dongyuanzhou will have a longer period of development opportunities."

Jiang Ruyue nodded slightly, Mr. Bai's words did make some sense.

She also immediately said: If Xuanqingcheng is willing to provide some convenience, Dongyuanzhou will never be disadvantageous to Wancheng Kingdom!Let the two continents be peaceful for generations.

These words are of course not true. If Dongyuanzhou is much stronger than Wancheng Kingdom in the future, even if she doesn't want to fight Wancheng Kingdom, the generals below will not agree.

She just made a verbal guarantee that whether war will break out between the two continents in the future is not up to her alone.

Zhou Ming nodded, and asked the servant to bring over a pile of books, about twenty or thirty.

Pointing to these books, he said to Jiang Ruyue: "These books are the gifts I prepared for you. They are all about politics, economy, technology, military affairs, etc. They are very in-depth books. Take them back and read them carefully. , if you have any questions, you can come and ask me, and we will discuss together."

The books he prepared are generally not available in the market, even in the libraries of prestigious colleges, because these books are all internal reference books, and a considerable part of them were written by him in his previous life. In China, only officials of a certain level have the right to borrow books, and they are not allowed to take them home or copy them.

The value of these books is no less than those S-level cultivation cheats.

"Mr. Xie Bai!"

Jiang Ruyue was overjoyed, the books recommended by Mr. Bai must be good books, and she would definitely read them carefully after returning home.

The fact is exactly the same. When she brought these books back to her residence, she opened the title pages of some of them and saw the author's name "Zhang Shanhe".

She was stunned at first.

Is it actually the book of the heartbroken man who failed his mother?
What's so good about his books?

A feeling of resentment and resistance rose in her heart, but these books were given to her by Mr. Bai, so she still had to read them no matter what.

So she read on.

This is incredible.

The whole person fell into it completely.

Insane, intoxicated, insane.

Did not sleep for three days in a row.

People don't feel tired at all, but the more they look at it, the more energetic and excited they become.

"well!"

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Such words often pop out of her mouth, and she holds them in her hands when she eats. The whole person is completely immersed in the world of books.

ten days later.

After reading all these books.

She just fell on the bed and fell asleep.

After another three days, I got up, rubbed my eyes, and after washing up, took a few books and went straight to the Baifu, asking to see Mr. Bai.

Zhou Ming happened to be free, so he met her in the living room.

As soon as she saw Zhou Ming, Jiang Ruyue poured beans out of a bamboo tube, opened the few books she brought, and asked many questions, hoping that Mr. Bai would clarify her doubts.

Asking Zhou Ming is really asking the right person. These books are summed up and written by him in his previous life. What kind of questions can be difficult for him?

He answered each one in a clear manner, and Jiang Ruyue nodded again and again, suddenly realizing.

Of course, there are also some profound and complicated questions. The more Zhou Ming answers, the more questions she asks. The answers are clear and thorough, and the doubts are all eliminated.

Sometimes it takes Zhou Ming a whole day to answer one of her questions.

In order to answer all her questions, Zhou Ming found a secret other courtyard and answered her continuously for a month.

This month, Jiang Ruyue was like a sponge thrown into the ocean of knowledge, eagerly absorbing water.

Facing Jiang Ruyue, who was extremely thirsty for knowledge, Zhou Ming felt that she was about to empty out all the dry goods in his belly.

Fortunately, Jiang Ruyue had fewer and fewer questions in the future, and more of them were speculative discussions and forward-looking predictions. Her thinking was active and her responses were quick and sensitive. It seemed that dozens of new ideas were emerging in her mind every moment. , and have the urge to realize these ideas impatiently.

From her body, Zhou Ming saw a reborn growth.

If she returns to Dongyuanzhou now, perhaps within a few years, she will be able to do something earth-shattering.

With her intelligence and talent, as long as she is given enough time, she can create enough brilliance.

Seeing her remarkable progress, Zhou Ming no longer felt the slightest worry about the future direction of Dongyuanzhou.

In at most 50 years, Dongyuanzhou will become a super-sized "Wancheng Kingdom".

"Teacher (the name for Zhou Ming, Jiang Ruyue has long since changed from Mr. Bai to a teacher), what kind of person is that Zhang Shanhe...?"

Jiang Ruyue asked this day, and suddenly became very interested in the saint Zhang Shanhe.

"Uh……"

Zhou Ming pondered for a long time before he said, "He should be a mortal who is revered as a 'saint'."

"He has ordinary aptitude, ordinary family background, and ordinary luck. In the end, with an ordinary body, he created an extraordinary career."

"But he has the shortcomings of mortals, and he also has the advantages of mortals. He is not a perfect person, but in the end almost everyone praises him. It is because he has done some things that are beneficial to mortals from the standpoint of mortals. Let mortals be comparable to immortals, let mortals no longer live in the lower ranks, and let mortals become the masters of this world."

"And he did it, he changed the fate of hundreds of millions of mortals, so he was promoted by mortals to become a saint."

Zhou Ming generalized himself in his previous life.

Jiang Ruyue remained silent.

After a long time, she raised her head and said, "Teacher, tell me about that mountain and river."

Her own teacher is erudite and knows everything, and she is in awe of her wealth of knowledge, so she wants to know more about the story of that heartless man.

"Oh that's fine."

In the next few days, Zhou Ming spent about 70 hours talking about the legendary life of the sage Zhang Shanhe in 69 years, like a biographer.

He quotes from many sources and provides sufficient examples, which are even closer to the truth and more vivid than those "Biography of Zhang Shanhe" on the market.

Jiang Ruyue listened very carefully, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking her head, sometimes frowning.

Especially when she heard about the relationship between the man and her mother, she couldn't help but refute.

How could her mother be so bad when she was young?How could it be so selfish?

"Jiang Ruonan can't be said to be bad. She just had to adopt a special survival strategy out of fear of losing her life. Normal people have the instinct to survive and fear death. In extreme cases, pulling her companions into the water is also a last resort... "

Jiang Ruyue still couldn't accept Zhou Ming's explanation, and urged him to skip it quickly.

Until the end of the story, Jiang Ruyue couldn't accept the project of suppressing the demon tower and Zhang Shanhe's death. She sharply accused Zhang Shanhe of hypocrisy and tried her best to defend her mother.

"Liar, he is a liar. He may be a saint praised by everyone, but he betrayed a woman."

"A woman who loves him deeply, and who has made a lot of changes for him!"

"He would rather die than choose to betray and choose another woman. He made a woman who had lost everything lose her last hope!"

Jiang Ruyue said loudly, she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Actually...you misunderstood Zhang Shanhe. He didn't betray Jiang Ruonan, but he felt sorry for those [-] innocent souls and committed suicide." Zhou Ming said.

"One hundred thousand innocent souls?" Jiang Ruyue looked puzzled.

"I don't know if you've heard of 'Zengyang Pill'?"

Zhou Ming talked about the secret behind this story and why Zhang Shanhe betrayed Jiang Ruonan and chose to commit suicide.

Zengyang Dan.

Zengyang Pill requires 10 lives to refine.

He said that in order to be with Zhang Shanhe for a long time, Jiang Ruonan was so cruel that he sacrificed 10 lives in exchange for his lover to stay with him for a hundred years.

Zhang Shanhe really can't look down on this kind of thing, even if he has been married to her for several months, he still can't get rid of the guilt in his heart, and always seeks to kill himself.

As for Gao Xiuzhen, Zhang Shanhe and her have never been together, it was just Gao Xiuzhen's unilateral crush on her. If Zhang Shanhe liked her, he would have married her long ago, how could he be so reckless?
If Zhang Shanhe really loved her, he must know that after his death, Gao Xiuzhen would be heartbroken and even die in love, so he would not leave that tower.

So I came to the conclusion: Zhang Shanhe didn't love the two women, he just wanted to commit suicide out of guilt.

"This……"

This inference made Jiang Ruyue feel subversive.

Because it was completely different from what she understood, she asked her mother, she didn't want to say more, she just kept repeating: "It's not his fault."

"Zengyang Pill, did Jiang Ruonan really refine this kind of pill?" She asked, did her mother really know how to make this terrifying pill?

"It's very easy to confirm. First, Zhang Shanhe, who has lived in the tower for a few months, has suddenly become much younger. Another, you can send someone to investigate the nearest outer continent to the east of Dongyuanzhou and look at the border. In the city, if there has ever been a massacre of evil cultivators in history, you can find out if you check it."

Hearing this, even if she didn't want to admit it, Jiang Ruyue believed it [-]% in her heart.

There is no need to send someone to Neighboring Continent to confirm. When I returned to the residence, I asked the old ancestor Tang Luo who had witnessed it back then, and Jiang Ruyue learned that her mother really refined Zengyang Pill.

"So, all the faults are really on my mother's head?"

"But... she is also a miserable woman."

Jiang Ruyue still wanted to continue to defend her mother, but after much deliberation, she could only abandon right and wrong and use the word "hardship" to defend her.

Turn around again.

Summarize Zhang Shanhe's legendary life.

Jiang Ruyue no longer had the previous resistance and disgust.

There is even a little joy and pride.

Then she picked up a few books written by him, and read every text that symbolized "wisdom" in them, just like his face-to-face teaching, which made her feel that she had gained a lot, and felt warm and moved in her heart.

Can't help sighing softly:

"My father, was a good man."

……

a few days later.

Zhou Ming found that Jiang Ruyue's perception of Zhang Shanhe had undergone obvious changes and reversals, and he was also very relieved, thinking to himself: This girl has finally been brought back.
