Chapter 1150 Wan'an

In this world, the truth is sometimes very important, so important that people can fight and seek for it at the risk 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 extreme development of rationality due to profound knowledge and insight - refined self-interest. It also has a beautified name - the thinking of a superior.

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, or even mistake a deer for 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", but hundreds of members of their family will also be executed. Their whole family will be regarded as traitors and will be infamy from a national standpoint. .

The initiator of all this is Su Yi, and they have absolutely reason to hate Su Yi to the core.

Wang Baobao, who had figured out all this, almost rushed forward to fight Su Yi, desperate, and would rather be broken into pieces.

Emotionally 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? 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. It is not only Zhao Min who is exquisitely self-interested, but also Su Yi. 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 innocent!"

"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 to die, they are innocent!”

"Minmin! Don't ask for him! Don't ask for him!" Wang Baobao roared in grief and anger, staring at Su Yi with hatred in his eyes and gritting his teeth.

Zhao Min didn't answer, just 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 are stained with the blood of Han people. I did not personally Entering the Ruyang Prince's Mansion and exterminating your entire family is already a mercy, but you still want me to save people?"

"Su Yi, you have tried so hard to pin the charge of regicide on us, not just to have the court 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 do it!" The fish is dead and the net is broken!”

"Do you have a choice?" Su Yi smiled faintly, "Miss Zhao, at this point, 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 here when Yuan Ting attacks you. I’m pushing you from behind. The current situation is that you 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, You will be killed quickly by Yuan Zhen! 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 face.

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 blocked soon, and the whole city will be searched next," Su Yi said without emotion, "If you and your brother want to leave here alive, instead of being caught by the royal family and threatened to capture King Ruyang, you should know what to do. Miss Zhao, you are a smart person, but at the critical moment of life and death, I advise you to be a little stupid, don't be too smart."

After that, he turned to Zhang Sanfeng and Nun Miejue who had recovered their faces and tidied their appearance and said, "No need to press their acupoints. If they want to leave later, just let them go."

Wang Baobao waited for Su Yi to finish his words and turned to leave. Sure enough, Su Yi didn't even raise his eyelids, as if he didn't see him.

But Zhao Min stopped him: "Brother!"

"Our family members are in danger! Aunt, grandma, and your sisters-in-law and nephews, can you watch them die?" Wang Baobao turned around and roared, emotionally excited.

"But if you go out like this, you will not only fail to save them, but you will be caught with them!" Zhao Min said hurriedly, "Brother! Don't be impulsive! Everything depends on us now, don't act on impulse!"

"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, there is hope only if you are alive, and there will be nothing if you die!"

Wang Baobao wanted to say something else, but Zhao Min suddenly spoke a few words in Mongolian in a stern voice. Wang Baobao seemed to be greatly shocked, stood there in a daze, and then collapsed.

As Su Yi expected, the crown prince Ayushiridara has stepped forward to take charge of the situation. The first order he issued was to block the entire city and implement city ban management. No matter whether they were powerful or ordinary people in the city, they were not allowed to go out or stay in the streets and alleys.

The prince cried bitterly and vowed to catch the murderer who killed his father. He ordered all the family members of Ruyang Palace to be imprisoned and declared Ruyang Wang a traitor. At the same time, he summoned generals and ministers from all walks of life to the palace to discuss matters, hoping to seize power.

With the order of the city ban, patrolling soldiers on the street killed almost anyone they saw, without asking any questions. The originally prosperous and noisy city suddenly became silent. At this time, Su Yi and others would appear particularly conspicuous as soon as they went out. Once their whereabouts were discovered, they would be attacked immediately, which undoubtedly caused great trouble for Su Yi and others to escape.

If it was just to escape from the city for himself, it would be nothing. The key was that Su Yi had to save the people of the six major sects. If the Yuan court discovered his purpose, it would be unrealistic for him to escape with more than a thousand people from the six major sects.

No matter how powerful Su Yi was, it was impossible for him to protect so many people from the siege of thousands of troops.

Therefore, the more time passed, Su Yi became more cautious and tried not to expose his purpose.

The arrest of the six major sects was a big deal for the Jianghu, and it was also unusual for a front-line general like King Ruyang, but it was insignificant to the court.

At this moment, the court was still overwhelmed by 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.

Moreover, there was a hidden danger in this matter, Su Yi had not forgotten it, but now Su Yi did not need to worry about it-

Cheng Kun!

Cheng Kun was used by Su Yi again, and when he came to his senses and realized the truth, he was scared.

He couldn't figure out why killing Su Yi became regicide, and he didn'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, it was after seeing Yang Dingtian's ghost on Guangmingding that everything was abnormal!

For Su Yi, Cheng Kun is definitely a hidden danger, because this person can easily think that Su Yi will not sit idly by and do nothing about the six major sects, so guarding the six major sects will definitely protect Su Yi and cause trouble for Su Yi.

According to Cheng Kun's style of doing things all the time, he doesn't even need to do it himself, he just needs to hide behind the scenes and secretly reveal the news to the Yuan court, 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, Su Yi couldn't help but guard against this move. He had already arranged a little ghost to lead Cheng Kun to him and then kill this person, because he felt that Cheng Kun's main value had been squeezed out, and it didn't matter if there was a little bit of oil left.

But Su Yi didn't expect that Cheng Kun was actually scared.

After realizing that he killed the emperor instead of Su Yi, Cheng Kun chose to run away directly.

He didn't care about anything, didn't want anything, and fled out of the city directly.

Although the Yuan army sealed the city, they certainly couldn't seal off a master like Cheng Kun. He escaped from the city and ran south without stopping.

The interaction between Su Yi and the little ghost was also limited by distance. The little ghost couldn't be too far away from Su Yi, so after chasing for a distance out of the city, the little ghost withdrew in disappointment.

This was the first time that the little ghost was defeated in front of Cheng Kun, an old customer - because Cheng Kun's will to escape was too firm, no matter how the little ghost bewitched and created illusions, he couldn't break his will, leaving the little ghost helpless against Cheng Kun.

This is also another limitation of the little ghost. If he encounters someone with a very firm will or a righteous person, the little ghost usually can't do anything to the other party.

Although he failed to kill Cheng Kun, at least this hidden danger no longer exists.

So Su Yi, with the help of the little ghost's reconnaissance, avoided the patrol of the Yuan army, 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 had known that she had hidden people in Wan'an Temple.

Because she had done everything she could and thought she had kept it secret enough.

It's not that she hadn't thought that Su Yi would find Wan'an Temple, but at least it shouldn't be so fast.

"Why do you always know what I'm 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 lightly.

Wan'an Temple is right in front of us. It is located in the west of Dadu City and is flat and open all around.

In a place like Dadu where every inch of land is valuable, it is rare to have such a large open space, which is also a strange sight.

This Wan'an Temple was originally built by the Khitans, when it was still Nanjing of the Liao Dynasty.

After several wars, only a tall tower remained in the temple. Kublai Khan went on a picnic here, and at that time, there were Tantric lamas accompanying him, so he proposed to build a temple here to promote Buddhism.

Kublai Khan readily agreed, so he stood on the top of the tower, bent his bow and shot an arrow, and told the lama that the area within the circle with the top of the tower as the center and the place where the arrow landed as the radius could be allocated to the Tantric Buddhism to build a temple.

He also enthusiastically named the temple himself - Dashengshou Wan'an Temple, which means peace and prosperity for the country and the people.

It is precisely for this reason that there is such a large open space around Wan'an Temple, because these are all private properties of the temple, and even if they are vacant, they are not allowed to be occupied by others.

Nowadays, Wan'an Temple has long been in decline and is just an ordinary lama temple, so it was requisitioned by Zhao Min as a place to imprison the masters of the six major sects.

Because this place is really remote and few people come, it feels isolated from the world.

Dadu has been in turmoil, but Wan'an Temple is still calm and peaceful, with the gate open, and you can faintly hear the chanting inside. There are also two lamas playing chess leisurely on the stone table under the tree next to the gate.

Of course, this is just an appearance. Zhao Min deliberately created a relaxed appearance but a tight inner self to avoid suspicion.

In fact, there are thousands of ambushed soldiers and masters in this temple. It has long become a dangerous place, just waiting for Su Yi to step into this deadly trap.
