Chapter 2715: We can be friends for a while, but it is difficult to stay together for a lifetime
She didn't say much, because she didn't dare to say much and couldn't.
She even believed that when Zhu Feng said this, he was clear in his mind - no matter how tired Master Zhang was, it was impossible for him to sleep for two days and two nights without waking up, and there was still a war outside. For people like them, they would be easily awakened by the slightest movement.
There is only one truth.
What method did Emperor Gao use to make him fall into a deep sleep?
However, Emperor Gao was her father-in-law and the supreme founding emperor of Yan State. They could not speak lightly of his mistakes.
Besides, it is difficult to judge whether this matter is a "negligence".
At least judging from the subsequent world situation, Emperor Gao’s choice was correct.
However, whether he has other thoughts in his mind is another matter.
Nan Yan was silent for a long time before she asked softly, "So, what happened to Master Zhang later?"
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Master Zhang wasn't angry. He knew the battle was over, and that his brother had been surrounded and killed. He said nothing and left Emperor Gao's camp alone."
"Emperor Gao, won't you keep him?"
“I want to stay, but I can’t.”
Nan Yan said softly, "It's understandable how sad he must be at this moment. Even if he stays, it will only add to his sadness."
Zhu Feng nodded and said, "So, Emperor Gao let him go."
"And then?"
"Later, the influence of the Neng Kingdom in the Central Plains was gradually expelled, and the overall situation in the world became increasingly clear. Emperor Gao and several other rebel armies became the forces most likely to unify the world."
“…”
"At that time, Master Zhang was in another powerful rebel army. That army was an alliance of more than a dozen rebel factions, and their leader was very popular. He wanted to convince Emperor Gao to bring his troops and join him. This way, this army would have the greatest chance of unifying the country."
When Nan Yan heard this, her heart sank.
How could this be possible?
Not to mention that Emperor Gao was the founding emperor of Yan State and a man of great talent and strategy, even a little girl like myself, if I put myself in his shoes, would definitely not easily submit to others and make things easier for them.
She said, "The Emperor Gao won't agree, will he?"
Zhu Feng said: "He agreed."
"ah?"
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide in surprise - how is it possible?
Zhu Feng said calmly, "He agreed, but he only put forward a condition: he wanted the head coach to come and inspect his team in person."
When Nan Yan heard this, her eyes flickered again.
Zhu Feng continued, "The commander was naturally a little hesitant, but considering that Master Zhang had a close relationship with Emperor Gao, he allowed him to accompany him to the Emperor Gao's camp."
“…”
"It's said that that night, the Emperor Gao hosted a grand banquet for his guests, and both sides were drunk. Master Zhang originally didn't drink, but the Emperor Gao told him that he hoped they could put aside their past grudges and return to the way they were in the past. Master Zhang seemed deeply moved and drank the wine that the Emperor Gao offered him."
Nan Yan asked, "What happened next?"
Zhu Feng took a deep breath and said, "The next morning, when Master Zhang woke up, he saw the head of the commander."
“…”
"It is said that the troops that the commander brought with him for inspection were planning to kill the Emperor Gao that night, but the Emperor Gao's personal guards discovered their plot and killed them all."
“…”
Nan Yan sighed softly in her heart.
This may be true.
How can I allow others to snore beside my bed? If that commander really wants to conquer the world, then Emperor Gao's talent will inevitably become a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh. He will not be able to rest easy until he removes it.
Of course, it could also be fake.
With Emperor Gao's ambition to conquer the world, how could he really accept being under the wings of someone else? In fact, this banquet was a Hongmen Banquet from the very beginning.
But, whether it is true or false.
It was already decades ago, the ending is set and cannot be changed.
The truly pitiful one is probably Master Zhang.
Nan Yan said: "Master Zhang, he——"
Zhu Feng said, "He and Emperor Gao severed their ties and never saw each other again."
Nan Yan suddenly felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.
Speaking of which, the two people were friends who had shared life and death together, and they were also fellow practitioners. It was probably difficult for others to imagine how deep their feelings were; however, their different standpoints eventually led to them parting ways. It was really fate that played tricks on them.
Zhu Feng said, "After that, he left the rebel army and never participated in any war against the Neng Kingdom again. Later, we learned that he went to Wudang Mountain to practice Taoism. Because of his outstanding Taoist practice and virtue, he became the leader of the Taoist sect."
Nan Yan asked, "Did he meet Emperor Gao again?"
Zhu Feng smiled bitterly and said, "He is even more decisive than Emperor Gao."
“…”
"After ascending the throne, Emperor Gao also went to Wudang Mountain and wanted to see him. However, no matter if someone went up the mountain to plead sincerely or if they sent thousands of troops to besiege Wudang Mountain and force him to submit, he just refused to show up."
“…”
"Until Emperor Gao passed away, he never got to see Master Zhang again."
Nan Yan was silent for a long time, then he sighed deeply.
Zhu Feng looked at her and said, "Do you think Emperor Gao did something wrong?"
Nan Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty is making things difficult for me."
“…”
"The Emperor Gao is my father-in-law. How can I criticize the faults of my elders? Besides,"
She thought for a moment and said softly, "There's actually no right or wrong in these matters. Even Emperor Gao and Master Zhang himself can't say for sure whether these matters are right or wrong."
“…”
"Even if we're just talking about feelings—there's no right or wrong in matters of the heart."
“…”
"The only word I can say is, 'helpless.'"
“…”
"It's fate..."
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, chewing on her words carefully, and then he sighed and said, "You are right."
“…”
"In those years, except when he was drunk, my father never mentioned what happened back then, especially the incident with Master Zhang. For him, he had no choice in what he did and he had no regrets. But towards this person, he was somewhat—"
To some extent, there have been regrets.
If the original choice had not been made, if one of the two people had bowed their heads, perhaps the ending would not have been like this, where they would never see each other again.
but--
Nan Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, this result is inevitable."
“…”
"Judging from their later lives, Master Zhang became a 'living immortal,' while Emperor Gao became the supreme ruler. One was a man of otherworldliness, the other a man of the world. Originally, they were from two different worlds. They could be friends for a while, but it was difficult for them to stay together for a lifetime."
“…”
"Perhaps this separation is good for both of us."
Zhu Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Yes... We can be friends for a while, but it's hard to be together for a lifetime."
Nan Yan was quiet for a while, then asked, "By the way, Your Majesty, where is He Yi?"
