Every country has its good and bad people. The king and prince of Chechi Kingdom are not good people, but that does not mean that there are no good people in the whole Chechi Kingdom.
Just like these two assassins from Chechi Kingdom, they could have killed Zhu Yunwen, but they saw many things they desired in him.
They hoped that the ruler of Chechi Kingdom could also bring tangible benefits to the entire country and its people, just like Zhu Yunwen.
They can bring good benefits to the people and treat their subjects better, like Zhu Yunwen.
But their rulers are not like that. They only want to achieve their own interests and never consider whether they care about the lives of the people in the country.
They didn't even care whether the common people were doing well or not, which was in stark contrast to Zhu Yunwen, the grandson of the Ming emperor.
As the saying goes, without comparison there is no harm. This comparison made those assassins realize that someone like Zhu Yunwen should not die like this.
It even gives people the feeling that if Zhu Yunwen were to die, it would not only be a loss for the people of the Ming Dynasty, but a loss for everyone in the world.
And as it turns out, this is indeed the case. Just like the products of the Ming Dynasty that the western countries enjoy today, they were all made by Zhu Yunwen, which is why they have the opportunity to enjoy them.
Without Zhu Yunwen, they would not have had the opportunity to enjoy this. Therefore, Zhu Yunwen was not only Zhu Yunwen of the Ming Dynasty, but also Zhu Yunwen of the entire world.
The miracles he created in the Ming Dynasty and the things he produced were not only beneficial to the people of the Ming Dynasty, but also useful to people all over the world.
Inside the thatched hut, the burly assassin stared at Zhu Yunwen for a long time before finally speaking:
"I have lived my life for death, and I have never submitted to many people. I thought that my life was just that of a ruthless killing machine."
But when I met His Highness the Crown Prince, I admired you and worshipped you, and I couldn't bring myself to kill you.
Therefore, making these choices and taking these actions can be considered as doing right by oneself and by the world. This also shows a broadened perspective…
Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen smiled slightly and slowly got out of bed. After all, the injury to his abdomen was not very serious, just a bit painful.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, slowly stood up, and said to the two assassins from Chechi Kingdom:
"This world needs to change. Forced suicide squads like you shouldn't exist in the first place."
Everyone should have the right to enjoy a wonderful life, and no one should be threatened or coerced into working for others.
Even if something needs to be done, it should be done from their own heart and they should be made to do it willingly.
Make them feel that something is meaningful and that they need to do it, but never through coercion.
The burly assassin nodded in strong agreement and said:
"That's right. It's like we assassins are being coerced into working for the prince of Chechi Kingdom, while your subordinates and people are willing to die for you."
This is something they consider meaningful. It must be said that this incident has made us realize many things, and our country urgently needs change.
At the very least, those in power in our country definitely need to change; it's just a pity that I don't know if they can realize this. If they can't, then it will be a tragedy for our nation.
Zhu Yunwen didn't say anything more about this issue. The fact that the assassin was able to make such a realization meant that he had already understood.
But what's the use of understanding? They are ultimately just tools, not those in power.
"By the way, where exactly is this place?"
Upon hearing Zhu Yunwen's question, the burly man replied:
"This is a small town under the jurisdiction of a relatively remote county in western Ming Dynasty.
This thatched hut is not inhabited and is quite remote, located in a valley, so we'll leave you here to heal your wounds for the time being.
"I urge Your Highness to keep your promise and, for the foreseeable future, not to reveal that you are still alive."
Zhu Yunwen nodded and said:
"Don't worry, I know the consequences. If the people of Chechi Kingdom find out, you didn't kill me."
"Then, the families of all the assassins who participated in this mission are in danger. I understand this situation."
The burly assassin clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhu Yunwen and said:
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Ming Dynasty. After this matter is over, we will have no complaints about how Your Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Ming Dynasty decides to deal with us."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunwen sighed softly.
“I will not punish you. As I said from the beginning, you are just assassins, and you were forced into it. Just like you said at the beginning, there are some things you don't want to do; you are just tools.”
Some things can't be simply blamed on the tool itself; the person wielding that tool is the real culprit. I'm not that foolish.
As Zhu Yunwen spoke, he took the water from another assassin and took a sip.
The two assassins were clearly much relieved.
They didn't care about their own lives or deaths, because they knew perfectly well that they deserved to die.
Over the years, as assassins trained by the royal family of Chechi Kingdom, they have carried out many missions, and each time they carried out a mission, they were a ruthless killing machine.
