Chapter 79



The consequence of Xue Fei's visit this time was that several bigwigs in the crew collectively posted on Weibo.

These bigwigs who are on the list of the richest people in the entertainment industry have all made anti-rich remarks, leaving fans and onlookers confused. I don’t know what these people are crazy about.

Maybe they are just showing off their wealth in an alternative way?

For this reason, the onlookers can only say sarcastically, okay, we know you are rich, just back off.

These people are suffering, they just met a richer man, and they are unbalanced. Humans are really greedy creatures, they will never be satisfied.

I am not interested in money, Xue Fei thought, and calmly closed the Facebook page.

After Xue Fei's strong appearance, Lin Xin's presence in the crew has increased a lot. Lin Xin knows that the friendship between these big guys is not pure, but it doesn't matter. It's enough for each to get what they need and have no malice. Lin Xin is also happy to make friends with these people.

The crew was taking a break, and the TV series "East Sea Mulberry Field" was broadcast in China. A group of people gathered together and clicked on the Internet TV to watch the finale of the TV series played by Lin Xin.

Their reasoning was that Chinese directors and photographers were very good at capturing beautiful scenes, and that seeing how the Chinese filmed the scene of Lin Xin's death might provide some inspiration for Afiro's death scene.

Lin Xin could only watch with this group of bored people. He was actually quite curious about what he would look like in the camera. After all, he joined the crew before he had the chance to see the finished product.

In the previous episode, Zi Ling Lan rejected He Tian, and He Tian's mood became very unstable, and he seemed to be turning evil. But Zhang Yun knew nothing about this.

At the beginning of this episode, it was snowing heavily. There was a plum tree in the snow, with only one red plum blossom blooming on its branch. This red flower dotted the white background, lonely and stubborn. Looking in from the window, Zhang Yun was writing furiously, coughing from time to time. As Zhang Yun coughed, the small branches of the red plum blossom could not bear the weight of the white snow and shook. The red flowers on the branches fell from the air along with the collapsed snow on the branches, and were instantly buried in the colorful snow.

The last bit of brightness outside the window disappeared.

Zhang Yun coughed twice again, and the old slave who followed Zhang Yun immediately came forward to put a fur cloak on him and closed the window for him, complaining that Zhang Yun did not take care of his health.

Zhang Yun smiled and said, "I was just a little sleepy. The snow scene was so beautiful that I couldn't help but open the window for a while."

The old slave continued to complain, but Zhang Yun smiled and begged for mercy, preparing to go to bed.

Zhang Yun blew the ink on the bamboo slip and placed it next to the pile of bamboo slips that had already piled up into a small mountain. On the bamboo slip, a few lines above can be seen that this is Zhang Yun's national policy written to the king of Jiang State.

The old servant said, Zhang Yun doesn't need to work so hard, there is still a long way to go.

Zhang Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I know the condition of my body. I may not see the day when Zihe unifies the world and becomes the emperor. I just hope that before I leave, I can reduce the impact on Jiang Kingdom as much as possible."

The old servant immediately said that Zhang Yun's words were unlucky, but Zhang Yun continued to beg for mercy with a smile.

After washing up, Zhang Yun sat alone at the head of the bed. He sighed, put on his clothes, sat back at the desk, and continued to write furiously, coughing as he wrote. As he coughed, a faint red mark was left on the handkerchief that Zhang Yun covered his mouth with.

Working hard, this must be what Zhang Yun is referring to.

In China, the audience who had been following the TV series couldn't help but feel a lump in their throats when they saw the light red on Zhang Yun's handkerchief.

Zhang Yun considered that he was in poor health and was afraid that he could not assist He Tian for a long time, so he overdrew his body and wrote a policy paper for He Tian that contained his own hard work. This policy paper covered various aspects such as economy, diplomacy, and military. As Zhang Yun himself said, he hoped that his death would not have too much impact on Jiang State. After he left, Jiang State would still complete the reform step by step, consolidate its hegemony, and finally compete for the Central Plains and unify the world.

Zhang Yun hoped that He Tian would not only be a hegemon, but also become the emperor. He regretted that he might not see the day when He Tian became the emperor, and hoped that his hard work could fulfill He Tian's and his own long-cherished wish.

But he didn't know that He Tian had already developed murderous intentions towards him, and the cause was just a woman.

Maybe... it's not just that woman. Maybe it's because Zhang Yun has given too much and received too much praise, so He Tian, who has always been dissatisfied with Zhang Yun's excellence, can no longer help but hate Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun was recuperating at home due to illness, and the ministers in the court persuaded He Tian to visit Zhang Yun in a high-level manner.

"Zhang Yun is indispensable to the Jiang Kingdom." The ministers all said so. They were all worried that Zhang Yun would fall ill and not be able to recover.

He Tian returned to the study and smashed the things on the desk.

Everyone thinks Zhang Yun is very important, whether it is the ministers, the people of Jiang State, or his beloved woman. It seems that Zhang Yun is the soul of Jiang State, and he, the king and the overlord, is just a puppet in Zhang Yun's hands. His hegemony is all due to Zhang Yun.

At this time, there were some flatterers who comforted He Tian and slandered Zhang Yun, saying that Zhang Yun had evil intentions, formed cliques among ministers, and had a very high reputation among the people. He was afraid that he might be rebellious and want to replace him.

He Tian reprimanded the treacherous minister, but simply asked him to step down without punishing him.

He didn't believe that Zhang Yun wanted to replace him, but he did want to kill Zhang Yun. However, he knew that Zhang Yun was indeed very important to Jiang State, so he suppressed his murderous intention.

The last straw that broke He Tian's sanity was when he suppressed his anger and murderous intent and went to visit Zhang Yun, and saw Zi Linglan's carriage parked in front of Zhang Yun's door.

He turned around and left.

After returning to the palace, he called the treacherous minister and asked him to take people to Zhang Yun's house to give him poisoned wine.

He Tian's eyes were dull at this time. He seemed like a puppet who had lost his soul. Perhaps he didn't even know what he was doing and was just following his nature.

Zhang Yun did not receive a visit from He Tian, but instead received a glass of poisoned wine.

Looking at the smug look in the eyes of the flatterer, Zhang Yun was filled with disbelief.

The camera zoomed in gradually, fixing on Zhang Yun's confused eyes. Zhang Yun's expression at this moment was not angry, but only childish confusion and grievance.

He didn't believe it and thought it was a conspiracy and that this was not He Tianxia's order.

The treacherous minister seemed to be worried that Zhang Yun would make a scene, so he told Zhang Yun the reason why He Tian wanted to kill him.

Zhang Yun was even more confused.

Just because of... a woman?

I vaguely remember that the downfall of my family...seemed...to be due to the king's lust.

But Zhang Yun still didn't believe that He Tian was that kind of person.

The flatterer used one word after another to pierce Zhang Yun, saying that He Tian was dissatisfied with Zhang Yun, and that Zhang Yun deserved it and should commit suicide.

As Zhang Yun listened, the confusion in his eyes disappeared, and he looked as if he had suddenly realized something: "So that's how it is... So that's how it is... I understand... Hahahahahaha..."

Zhang Yun laughed until tears came out. This was the first time he showed such intense emotion since returning from his apprenticeship with Guiguzi: "But Zihe, I serve you as my master... I serve you as my master!"

After saying this, Zhang Yun drank the poisoned wine in one gulp.

The wine glass fell to the floor with a dull sound. Blood flowed from the corner of Zhang Yun's mouth, and his eyes became unfocused. At this time, the play began to play flashbacks like a revolving lantern.

Zhang Yun's happy childhood, the sudden disaster that befell the Zhang family, his childhood interactions with He Tian, the difficulties he faced while studying under Guiguzi, and then the glorious years when he and He Tian worked together as monarch and subject to achieve great things.

The memories were shattered, and Zhang Yun seemed to hear the voice of the woman who loved him deeply.

Maybe he also loves that woman, but the more he loves her, the less he dares to get close to her. After all... he has done his best for Zihe's hegemony, and he can't spare the attention for this beautiful woman.

Such a beautiful woman deserves a gentle man who will focus his heart on her, live in harmony with her, and grow old together.

Zi Linglan rushed in, threw herself on Zhang Yun, who had already closed his eyes, and burst into tears. In the hands of the eunuch who stumbled over behind Zi Linglan, he was holding the token to pardon Zhang Yun.

When the eunuch saw Zhang Yun who had taken the poisoned wine, he fell to the ground with horror on his face.

"Zhang Yun is so powerful, how could he die so easily?" the director said to himself.

Lin Xin looked at the "self" on the computer screen with eyes closed and blood on the corners of his mouth, and said, "Maybe... his heart is dead, his ideals are dead. There are always some people who always put their ideals above everything else."

Zhang Yun already knew He Tian’s true feelings, and knew that even if he survived, he could never go back to the past... Jiang State could no longer tolerate him.

But where can he go if he leaves Jiang State?

It is true that no matter which country he went to, the monarch would welcome him with open arms. But he was different from most of the strategists who traveled around the countries. He had roots, and they were in Jiang State.

Even though his father knew about the king's betrayal, he still chose to fight to the death for the sake of the people behind him. Zhang Yun was no exception.

He won't leave here.

What about seclusion? But if the ambition in my heart cannot be realized, the ideal is dead, the heart is dead, and there is only a disabled body tortured by illness, what is the meaning? It is just torturing myself.

What kept Zhang Yun alive was first hatred and then his ideals. Now that his hatred had been taken but his ideals could not be realized, why should he continue to live?

It’s better to just go to sleep.

"So that's how it is..." The director nodded, and the other actors also looked thoughtful.

Although the cultures of each country are different and have barriers, ideals are something that every country has.

Maybe I can't agree with it, but I can understand it.

"What a pity..." The director shook his head.

People here can understand and read Chinese, and can understand this plot. Even if they don't understand, watching the actors' powerful performances in the play can also make them understand what they want to express.

He Tian regretted his decision after all, and Zi Linglan died for the lover she adored.

Zhang Yun was given the utmost honors after his death, but it was all in vain.

Zhang Yun's old slave knelt in front of Zhang Yun and burned Zhang Yun's hard-earned works as sacrifices.

The old slave knew what these were, so he hid them secretly and then burned them.
