It was an unexpected joy that Shunqing was lost and found again.

What was even more surprising was that Yang Zhan recovered his memory. Lan Lan hugged him and almost fainted from crying.

After this man was lost and found, he knew how precious he was. Lanlan felt sad and happy at the same time, and kept asking: "Isn't this a dream? Do you really remember me? Husband, husband, you are finally back!"

Yang Zhan stroked her hair and murmured: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Zhu Pingxi felt a warm current swirling around him as he listened to their voices. He hadn't had such a beautiful feeling for a long time. Life should get better from now on, right?

Yang Zhan let go of Lan Lan, held Ping Xi's hand and said softly: "Brother King of Shu, you have suffered!"

Pingxi sighed: "It will be good if you come back, it will be good if you come back!"

Li Zhiyong led the Fuhu Army to search everywhere, but they couldn't find Yang Jingxin and the others, so they hurried over to report.

Xiao Jin said: "The Qing army must have taken them away when they retreated."

Li Zhiyong and Luo Weiji competed to go to Baoning to rescue Jing Xin, but Yang Zhan refused.

"Lan Lan said it well, Jing Xin is my son, I must save him."

Report from outside: The young master is back!

But the young master came back lying on a stretcher, and the monk Dakai who carried him was in ragged clothes and in a miserable state. It was Liu Jiankuan and monk Miaofeng who rescued them.

Lan Lan staggered to the side of the stretcher, "Jing Xin, Jing Xin, my son, what's wrong with you? Open your eyes and see, your father is back, he is back, you no longer have to be so tired and miserable.

!”

Yang Zhan knelt down, hugged the unconscious Jing Xin tightly, and shouted sadly: "Jing Xin, Jing Xin!"

Jing Xin closed his eyes tightly. If he heard his father's call, he would definitely be shocked.

Jian Kuan looked at Yang Zhan from the side with tears rolling down his face. "Senior brother, you finally woke up. Never leave us again, never leave senior sister and Jing Xin behind, okay?"

Miaofeng chuckled and said: "We are finally reunited, and the Shu people are finally saved."

Yang Zhan stood up and bowed deeply to Miaofeng, "Master's life-saving grace will never be forgotten by Yang Zhan, and he must be repaid generously! Please save my son's life again, and I and my wife will be at your disposal in this life."

Lan Lan also looked at Miaofeng eagerly and prayed again and again: "Master, Master!"

Jian Kuan said: "In order to save Jing Xin, the master has transferred half of his true energy into him. Don't worry, he will be alive and kicking in less than a month."

Li Zhiyong and Luo Weiqi were left to garrison Shunqing, and everyone returned to Chengdu.

Along the way, Yang Zhan remained silent, and Liu Jiankuan's palms became sweaty, fearing that the desolate scene of overgrown weeds would irritate Yang Zhan again.

From Shunqing to Chengdu, no fields were growing with crops. The Qing and Shu armies fought repeatedly, and the vast weeds and trees were nourished by human blood and became more luxuriant than anywhere else.

The only remaining men and horses and the Fuhu Army stayed in Shunqing, and the only ones who came back were the Chongtongguan Taoist priests.

Today's situation is that if you want money but don't have money, if you want people but no one, the land of abundance is like hell.

Yang Zhan took the root and responsibility of all this on himself, but he would never shed a tear again.

Because tears cannot atone for sins and cannot save Shu.

From then on, the limited time and life must be devoted to one thing, that is: rebuilding the country!

…

Chengdu is an empty city.

Every time Ma Lanlan and Yang Jingxin went to northern Sichuan to resist the Qing army, Chengdu would be sacked by nearby warlords.

The people had no sense of security and had abandoned them long ago. Houses everywhere were in ruins and beams were collapsed, and cobwebs were everywhere.

Ma Lanlan kept blaming herself, "It's all my fault. It's because I didn't have the ability to help Jing Xin that it became like this."

Yang Zhan put his arm around her shoulders and said softly: "It's okay, I'll be with you from now on."

What Lan Lan wanted to hear most in the past few years was this sentence. But hearing it now, she felt even more anxious.

"It's great to have you, but what can you do? Our food, ammunition, and men and horses are all staying in northern Sichuan."

"We don't have to worry about the food problem at hand. Heiniu Village can still provide enough food, but we just don't have the manpower to reclaim the wasteland."

Zhu Pingxi walked in with a group of people, "Junior brothers and sisters, the problem we urgently need to solve now is not the problem of food, nor the problem of clearing wasteland for farming, nor the problem of men, horses, weapons and ammunition!"

It was Zhu Pingxi who spoke, but Yang Zhan knew from the looks of the other three that they must have discussed something before coming to him.

"Senior brother, if you have any orders, it doesn't matter!"

"Okay, this time, you must listen to us no matter what, become the king of Shu, and control the country of Shu! Only in this way can the scattered hearts of the Shu people be reunited, and the rivers and mountains can be reorganized."

Yang Zhan was shocked, "No, if I become the king of Shu, how can I live up to the trust and trust of you and your father and brother for two generations? How can I explain to those dead Shu people?"

"I order you to become the King of Shu!" Zhu Pingxi said in a stern voice.

"Senior Brother Yang Zhan, just listen to Senior Brother Pingxi!" Fei Xiaojin and Liu Jiankuan each said one sentence, and their words were serious.

Zhu Pingqi recounted the past painfully, each sentence hitting the mark, "The reason why our country of Shu is in such a chaotic situation now is because we don't have a strong monarch. You tried your best to support me, but I was unable to do what you wanted! We once pinned our hopes on

Regarding Liu Wenxiu, he is always Zhang Xianzhong's son first, and then your Yang Zhan's apprentice! Even if I give up the throne, his responsibility to the people of Shu is still far less than his feelings for the Great Western Army. At the last moment, he still abandons us.

go……"

Yang Zhan didn't understand these principles, but he couldn't get over this hurdle.

From a young age, the education he received on loyalty to the emperor told him that the country belonged to the Zhu family, and anyone who coveted it was a rebellious official and traitor.

He has no desire to be king, let alone a traitor.

Therefore, even if the world was in chaos, and even if Zhu Pingqi repeatedly gave in, he never had the slightest idea of ​​becoming a king.

However, more than ten years later, such an ending has been bloody before us. Do we still want to continue to be a modest gentleman?

Yang Zhan's face was uncertain, and Liu Jiankuan said angrily: "Forget it, since Senior Brother Yang Zhan is in such a difficult situation, let's not force him any more. Let's continue to live in seclusion in Chongtongguan and Heiniu Village. From now on, we will not care about worldly affairs. Who can

Don’t even talk about saving the people of Shu anymore. Whether the people live or die, just leave it to fate!"

Yang Zhan's eyes were slightly closed, sweat broke out on his forehead, and thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind.

"Amitabha, I have a suggestion." Miaofeng usually doesn't speak. When he speaks, he brings his own Zen ideas, which has the mysterious power to attract people.

Everyone looked at him eagerly.

"Don't call yourself the king, just be the master. When you are the master of the family, you are the master of Shu."

Lord of Shu, Lord of Shu, chewing these two words, everyone tasted it.

The taste of rivers and lakes.

Miaofeng nodded: "Yes, this is a very quack-like title, and this is the effect it wants."

Xiao Jin suddenly understood, "Yes, yes, I also feel that we do not have the power to organize a powerful court, but we can build an omnipotent world."
