Chapter 202 The world
The county magistrate's office must be very busy tonight.
Inventorying supplies, imprisoning surrendered soldiers, subsidizing casualties, preparing strategies to deal with the imperial court, etc...
But as soon as Chen Sheng stepped into the gate of Chen County, he threw all his affairs to Fan Zeng and Li Si, who were still waiting for his return in the county magistrate's office, and ran to the Chen family compound.
While running, he took off the bloody armor from his body and threw it away.
Hundreds of soldiers followed him, chasing him with all their might, but they couldn't even see his shadow.
"Sister..."
As soon as Chen Sheng crossed the threshold of the Chen family courtyard, he shouted loudly: "I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?"
Zhao Qing, who was restless in the hall, had already trotted out of the hall to welcome him when he heard the door opening.
When he saw him, he rushed towards him and grabbed him. He pulled him around in circles with eager eyes and carefully inspected his whole body.
It wasn't until she confirmed any wounds on his body that she took a long breath and said with a forced smile: "What do you want to eat? Sister, I'll get it for you!"
Chen Sheng spread his arms to embrace him, rested his chin on her shoulder, and greedily took a deep breath of her fresh soapy scent.
Since returning from Yangzhou, his height has been like that of a crop that has been watered with manure, growing crazily at a rate of one centimeter for several days, and one centimeter for several days.
A few years ago, his height only reached Zhao Qing's nose, but now he is as tall as Zhao Qing.
"I'll just tell you if you're worried. Why do you have to endure it?"
He narrowed his eyes and muttered lowly.
Zhao Qing muttered softly, aggrievedly: "Don't you want me to interfere with your official affairs?"
"Harmful……"
Chen Sheng said softly: "If I don't let you, are you going to stop asking? Just keep it in your heart. How smart am I? If there is really any danger, I will definitely let others get in and I can hide by myself.
Far away, we haven't even consummated our marriage yet, how could I take the risk... I'm just tired and don't want to move."
Zhao Qing gently stroked the long hair on the back of his head and said softly: "Then you rest for a while, and the eldest sister will make you chicken noodles. No, the eldest sister will make you a family bucket!"
"Let's just forget about it. It's too troublesome..."
Chen Sheng hung comfortably in her soft and warm embrace and said happily: "Just scramble a few more eggs."
Zhao Qing hugged him and trudged towards the hall, saying in a coaxing tone: "Okay, okay, sister, I'll give you a few more chickens..."
She carried Chen Sheng into the hall, put him into the large grand master's chair, then turned around and walked to the kitchen.
After a while, the music of pots and spatulas rang out in the kitchen.
Low snores came from far away in the hall...
…
The next day.
Chen County Prison.
The cell was clean, but it was filled with a strong, sour smell of rot.
Chen Sheng was wearing a plain blue robe, and his aura was as restrained as the bluestone that can be seen everywhere. He sat with unkempt hair and bare feet, wearing only a moon-white middle coat, and facing Li Xin, whose limbs were entangled with alloy chains.
A bowl full of wine was pushed in front of Li Xin.
Li Xin did not move the wine bowl, but stared at Chen Sheng with a pair of tiger eyes. If his eyes could be turned into swords, Chen Sheng's body would already be riddled with holes.
Obviously, Li Xin already knew about Chen Sheng's raid on his camp with troops and horses last night.
"I know you resent my failure to win!"
Chen Sheng said calmly: "But the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If you win, you win, if you lose, you lose. If you can't afford to lose, you shouldn't come to Chen County."
"hehe……"
Li Xin sneered, raised his head and drank the wine bowl in front of him, then crossed his arms and closed his eyes without saying a word.
He knew very well Chen Sheng's purpose.
His attitude was telling Chen Sheng: Don’t even think about it!
Chen Sheng was not surprised by his attitude. A person who is greedy for life and afraid of death cannot lead a force that is not afraid of death.
"I came here, but I didn't expect you to give me an answer today!"
Chen Sheng poured himself a bowl of syrup, picked it up, took a sip, and said softly: "But if you are locked up here, you are idle, so you might as well think about this question: In this world , in the end is the world for people with the surname Ji, or the world for people from all over the world!"
Li Xin raised his eyelids and opened his mouth to answer.
Chen Sheng waved his hand to stop him from speaking: "Don't rush to answer me, think about it carefully, I will answer me next time when I come!"
Li Xin closed his mouth and looked at him doubtfully, as if he didn't understand why he was talking to him about such nonsense!
In the whole world, there is nothing but the royal land!
On the shore of the land, could it be the king's ministers!
This world is, of course, the world of today’s emperor!
Chen Sheng, however, was not anxious at all and said sentence by sentence: "If this world belongs to people with the surname Ji, then who are you? A hound? Or a cow and horse?"
"You are so loyal as a beast, do your descendants know?"
"Have you ever asked them if they are willing to come to this world and work as beasts for people named Ji?"
"A world that treats people as livestock, is it really worth your life and blood?"
"If this world is a world for all people in the world."
"Then why are there people who have been ministers and powerful people for generations, even if they are a useless person who does not work hard and cannot distinguish between grains and grains, he can still be well-dressed and well-fed, prosperous and wealthy, and can do whatever he wants?"
"But some people have been living in the mud for generations, working day and night all their lives, but most of their income has been robbed by the powerful, and even surviving is a luxury?"
"What kind of world is this for everyone?"
"I have a dream!"
"I dream that one day, a minister will be a minister only because of his moral character and talent, and a refugee will be a refugee just because he is good at eating and lazy!"
"It is my dream that one day, the sons of princes and the sons of common people will be able to study together and have the opportunity to compete for the position of general and prime minister."
"The dream is that one day, the emperor will be guilty of the same crime as the common people. This is no longer just a dream of the Legalists, but a universally known concept..."
He stood up, patted Li Xin's shoulder gently, and said, "We are born equal, who turned me into a third, sixth, or ninth grade?"
He turned around, opened the cell door, and slowly walked out of the prison.
Li Xin was stunned, with a face full of horror and astonishment, looking at the direction he was leaving, his lips moving, instinctively wanting to refute the rebellious and deceptive remarks of his group!
But in his mind, those rebellious and monstrous voices were getting louder and louder and denser!
Like Hong Zhong Da Lu!
Like bells in the morning and drums in the evening!
He was so shocked that he almost lost the ability to think!
He is not a 'why not eat minced meat' type of person.
Although our ancestors were once wealthy, they have long since declined.
Under the shadow of the fourth generation, he fought bloody battles for more than ten years before finally reaching the position of deputy general of the Bolang Army against all odds.
He understands better than ordinary people how strong the class barriers in the Zhou Dynasty are!
It's precisely because he understands.
He will be shocked!
There are always some concepts that are passed down from generation to generation and are taken for granted by everyone.
