"Here comes someone."

Mr. Wen expressed satisfaction with his respectful attitude.

"Wu Jiu's pen and ink will serve you."

He called Zhao by his correct name in good faith.

"Thank you, sir."

Zhao Cuo walked toward the huge stone monument on the edge of the cliff in front of everyone's attention.

‘It’s time to come up with the four lines of Hengqu that are essential for travelers!’

Young Master Zhao, who wanted to go home quickly, decided to have a big one.

"Only true words can be written on the monument. Mr. Zhao has some poetic talent, but how can a Taoist have the sincerity of scholars like us?"

Looking at the handsome young man walking out of the crowd, many academy students started talking, most of them with doubts in their eyes.

"The words that Junior Sister Zhao wrote on the monument took an hour to disappear. An ordinary person's words would disappear in just a few snaps of the fingers. I don't know how far Mr. Zhao can do it."

"It would be funny if this guy couldn't write a word."

Zhao Cuo didn't care about the unpleasant words and walked to the monument. A boy had already brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"Thank you."

After thanking him, he picked up the wolf brush and put some ink on it, and tentatively moved the tip of the pen toward the monument. To be honest, he was still a little nervous after listening to the words of those academy students.

As the pen in his hand gradually approached the monument, his whole body suddenly froze in place.

Magical sounds that seemed to be able to penetrate clouds and rocks poured into his ears from all directions.

'For the sake of heaven and earth? What qualifications do you have to speak so loudly! With hatred in your eyes, you do nothing!'

'You still want to save the lives of the people? You can save more than 50,000 people! Why are you hesitating here!'

'To carry on the unique learning of the past saints? To create peace for all generations? You are full of wild and arrogant words, but I don't see that you are united in knowledge and action!'

A deafening roar exploded in his ears! A harsh rebuke suddenly poured into his mind! Zhao Cuo staggered for a moment and almost fell to the ground.

"This, this, this!"

The academy students who were still questioning Mr. Zhao just now were dumbfounded for a moment.

"Zhao Cuo really can't leave a message on the monument?"

"Meat eaters are despicable!"

"Is this the son of the Duke of Dayu?"

Zhao Shangxin also looked pale at this time, clenching her pink fists and not knowing what to do, regretting that she should not have brought her younger brother to the academy.

"Ah."

Sima Yu, the Minister of Punishment, smiled contemptuously.

"No matter how good a poem is, it is useless if the mind is not right."

Mr. Wen shook his head with regret.

"Useless things!"

In the attic at the highest point of Xunshan Mountain, the red-haired girl who was playing chess with an old man in a scholar's shirt snorted coldly. Her pale golden eyes looked through the heavy clouds at the young man in front of the stone tablet.

"Why do you need to be angry?"

The kind-hearted elder who spoke to her chuckled.

"I like him so much! The people below reported that he came to the academy, and I reluctantly came to play chess with you, teacher. But in the end, this loser dared to embarrass me! Let's see how I deal with him when I get back!"

Empress Dowager Zhao lifted the chessboard in front of her without any expression.

"Don't jump to conclusions."

The kind elder raised his hand and waved, and the overturned chessboard and the scattered chess pieces immediately returned along the trajectory of landing, and the black and white pieces were in their places.

"How can we conclude that this child is not good at the beginning? Just like my dear, if you don't finish the game of chess, why do you have to be sure that you have lost?"

…

'What on earth did I come to Xunshan Academy for...'

Listening to the angry accusations and questions that were still ringing in his ears, confusion appeared in his eyes as a man of two generations, as if he had been awakened from a dream but he couldn't distinguish reality from reality for a while.

"Since when have I been able to turn a blind eye to the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people? Isn't this just like that female devil? It's obvious that I can save their lives as long as I stretch out my hand."

What stung Zhao Cuo was the phrase "Why hesitate when you can save tens of thousands of lives" that came to his ears.

As he asked himself, doubts arose in his mind.

The hand holding the pen also began to tremble violently.

'All I can do is to prevent others from dying because of me, but is it what I should do to sacrifice my life for irrelevant people? I am not the hero who turns justice into charity, right?'

'You should live your life with a clear conscience!'

The deafening roar exploded from his mind again!

'It is not the behavior of a gentleman to belittle oneself! Do what you think is just! Ask yourself if your heart is still sincere!'

"I'm going to do what I'm supposed to do..."

Zhao Cuo's confused eyes suddenly became sober! His right hand holding the langhao pen came down again, and this time he wrote a stroke on the stone tablet smoothly.

"Master Zhao has overcome the demonic barriers in his heart!"

Exclamations rang out from the crowd.

"If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good."

Mr. Wen smiled and nodded.

"Young Master Zhao is a person whom the Queen cares about, so how can he be useless?"

Sima Yu, the Minister of Punishment, said with an unchanging expression. This was just a hole he dug casually, and it didn't matter if he failed.

'I don't believe you can write any more shocking words.'

"You know this kind of pass can't stop me."

Zhao Shangxin breathed a long sigh of relief, a slight smile appeared on his dignified and fair oval face, and he stared at the male students around him.

"Is your teacher right?"

The black-haired elder in the high pavilion dropped a stone and completely defeated the black stone held by Queen Mother Teru.

"I hope the Sui sage can also kill everyone in the frozen river hunting."

The Queen Mother turned her little head and once again cast her gaze on the young man standing in front of the monument.

"Life is what I want..."

She whispered the half sentence that Zhao Cuo first wrote.

…

"Life is what I want; righteousness is also what I want. You can't have both, and you have to sacrifice life for righteousness."

Zhao Cuo seriously wrote down what he was thinking at this time, but he also understood that he was not that great. Saving the more than 50,000 implicated innocent people would put his life in danger, but from all aspects, it was just that

It wouldn't kill him once, so he could take the risk and make the choice he made now.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

'Even if it's just to make yourself feel better, it's worth doing it.'

If saving those innocent people who were implicated would result in certain death... Zhao Cuo's decision at this time might be completely opposite.

"good!"

Mr. Wen praised loudly and excitedly!

"Sacrificing one's life for righteousness? This is great benevolence and righteousness! Wu Guo is the style of a saint from ancient times!"

"What Young Master Zhao just overcame was actually sacrificing himself for the world?"

Many students here also expressed their admiration for a moment. It is said by scholars that a man would rather die than before, but there is also a saying that the only way to die is to die after all the hardships! Being able to write this sentence dignifiedly on the erection monument can prove that Zhao Cuo is really determined to sacrifice his life for righteousness.

.

"Zhenno Guoshi!"

"I am willing to bow down to you."

"As expected of the heir to the Zhao family who has guarded Demon Lock City for generations!"

The face of the Minister of Punishment had darkened at this time, but then he sighed softly, raised his hand and bowed to Zhao Cuo from a distance.

"Having a son should be like Zhao Wu Jiu!"

"Why sacrifice one's life for justice..."

The only person present who frowned was Zhao Shanxin.

"Your Majesty, you have such good taste."

Sui Sheng from Xunshan Academy in the high pavilion nodded in admiration.

"How can the person I love be mediocre?"
