Chapter 1102 The Simpler, the Harder to Achieve
This seemed like an ordinary sentence, but Sheng Ze chuckled when he heard it, "You have quite a bit of ambition."
I ask for nothing but for the whole clan to live with dignity. It seems simple but it is difficult to achieve.
Under the current circumstances, just to survive requires all one's strength, and living with dignity is extremely difficult. What's more, Dan Manyeng wants the entire Jiayu tribe to live with dignity.
Shan Mancheng also laughed. He looked at Sheng Ze steadily and said, "Can't I do it with you and Sixth Miss?"
Sheng Ze looked at him suddenly, "What do you want to do?"
"What do you want me to do, cousin?" Shan Mancheng continued smiling. "I've already said that I only hope that my people can live with dignity."
The implication is that as long as this condition can be met, Sheng Ze will ask him to do anything.
Sheng Ze looked at him deeply, turned his head back and said nothing more.
But Shan Mancheng's next words made him even more silent.
"My mother died without even leaving a single word. She died quietly on that cold night. But even if she didn't say anything, I knew she wanted to return to Dajin, to the prosperous and peaceful land she was familiar with."
Sheng Ze frowned, "Why didn't you send a letter after my aunt passed away?"
"Heh," Shan Mancheng laughed mockingly, "Cousin, you grew up in a prosperous country like Dajin. How can you understand the sadness we grassland people feel when our mother dies? What I need to do is not to send you a letter immediately, but to comfort our people and prevent them from becoming more panicked."
He didn't even have time to feel sad, because he had to find a long-term way for his people to survive.
So he came back, back to the country he had wanted to invade before.
But now he has completely lost his original fighting spirit. He just relies on instinct and feels that the only way to survive is to follow Sheng Ze and Shen Qingqian.
At this moment, Shengze believed that Shan Mancheng was telling the truth.
He had been to the grassland and to the Jiayu tribe. Although their royal court was called the royal court, it was more like many luxurious and grand tents that could be moved at any time.
If stability is something engraved in the bones of the people of Dajin, then being homeless is the natural fate that the Jiayu people have to accept.
But everything changed from Shan Mancheng on.
Princess Chengyu is the eldest princess of the Great Jin Dynasty and a proud daughter of heaven. Naturally, her son must also receive the education of the Great Jin Dynasty. This also led to Shan Mancheng sending people to Yunzhou to do business, and accidentally becoming the richest man.
He saw hope here and began to have feelings for Dajin.
But during his time in northern Hubei, Shan Mancheng had clearly seen the wisdom of Sheng Ze, Shen Qingqian and others, as well as the unity of the people of northern Hubei. He knew that his previous wish might not be realized, so he took his people and left for Tianxue Mountain.
But fate is cruel, and the harsh natural environment forced him to bring the people back again.
Until the army set out, Sheng Ze did not speak to Shan Mancheng again.
That evening, the army was stationed on the border between Linzhou and Chenzhou.
Bonfires lit up in the military camp. Sheng Ze and Shan Mancheng sat on the thick straw mats on the ground, warming themselves by the fire while waiting for the hot soup to boil. Sheng Ze then asked solemnly, "Have you made up your mind?"
He originally thought that Shan Mancheng and the others were willing to help this time in order to gain some benefits, but now it seems that what he wants to do is probably to completely surrender, to integrate the Jiayu tribe into Dajin, and to let them settle down completely.
