Chapter 49: The Stronger the Ability, the Faster the Death (Part 2)
In front of Zhuofu Hall.
Luo Jiaqiu stood with his hands down and talked eloquently: "The stronger the so-called ability, the inevitable consequences will be death. So what kind of ability does this ability refer to? The ability to do things? Force? Or something else? Without specific direction, it cannot be understood. The meaning behind these words.”
Zhuo Junyan smiled after hearing what Luo Jiaqiu said.
very good.
Just be able to analyze the problem.
Zhuo Junyan thought over and over about his conversation with Tang Ning. After thinking for a while, he said: "It refers to ability, not just force!"
Hearing this, Luo Jiaqiu was a little confused: "With all due respect, the reason why the leader was able to dominate Yancheng was based on force, not ability."
"But obtaining force requires means." Zhuo Junyan replied.
Luo Jiaqiu suddenly realized: "So what you have been doing is to improve yourself? And this is related to what you did before?"
Zhuo Junyan didn't want to say it, but he needed the wisdom of others to help him figure out some things that he couldn't figure out when he was in the game.
Now that Shen Shengnan, Tie Fengjian and others know something about themselves, Luo Jiaqiu can also tell them.
So he nodded: "Yes, nothing comes out of thin air. Everything requires a price and must be paid for!"
Luo Jiaqiu nodded: "Then I can understand. In addition to the possibility mentioned before, I have thought of another possibility..."
He walked a few steps in the hall and said, "In the previous dynasty, there was such a story."
"you say."
"There was an official in the previous dynasty named Ding Congli. He was an upright and capable official. After serving for several years, he made outstanding achievements and was loved by the people. Therefore, he was appreciated by the prime minister Wang Yuanhuan and promoted him all the way. Finally, he was promoted from a seventh-rank official. , promoted all the way to a fourth-rank official."
"Ding Congli was also grateful for this, and worked harder and harder. Everything Wang Yuanhuan told him, no matter how big or small, must be done properly. It was also unanimously praised by all the officials in the court, and even more favored by His Majesty. He was summoned many times with favor and bestowed generous gifts. He was rewarded, and the emperor was even going to make him a third-grade minister. But that year, he was only thirty-two years old."
"However, not long after, Ding Congli suddenly encountered a great disaster. Someone found dragon robes and other items in his home, so Ding Congli was labeled as a rebel and his entire family was executed."
"It wasn't until ten years later that the matter was brought to light. It turned out that the person who framed Ding Congli was none other than Wang Yuanhuan, his mentor who had been promoting him!"
As he spoke, Luo Jiaqiu looked at Zhuo Junyan: "Ding Congli has been respectful to Wang Yuanhuan all his life and has never sinned against him. But Wang Yuanhuan still killed him. Does the master know why?"
Zhuo Junyan frowned slightly: "It should be because of jealousy. But the problem is that Wang Yuanhuan is a first-rank prime minister. Even if Ding Congli becomes a third-rank minister, he still cannot reach Wang Yuanhuan's level. It is unnecessary."
Luo Jiaqiu nodded: "Yes, it sounds unnecessary, but the fact is that it is for this reason."
"Why?" Zhuo Junyan asked.
Luo Jiaqiu said: "Actually, many people guessed that Wang Yuanhuan did this at the time, but like the master, they couldn't understand it. It wasn't until ten years after Ding Conli's death that Wang Yuanhuan himself suffered, and the matter was exposed. The emperor asked at that time He asked this question. Ding Congli was only promoted to the third rank of the Middle Minister and could not threaten his status. Why was he so anxious to harm him? How do you think Wang Yuanhuan answered? "
"how to answer?"
Luo Jiaqiu said: "Wang Yuanhuan said: He was promoted to minister, but he is only twenty-two in his thirties. He is in the prime of life and has full strength. If he takes the time to mature, he will not be able to eradicate him. So we must start early!"
Zhuo Junyan's eyes narrowed: "You have to start early... He is only thirty-two years old, and he is in his prime... So Wang Yuanhuan is not promoted to minister because of Ding Congli, but because he is too young... because he is too capable..."
Luo Jiaqiu lowered his head: "Exactly. The minister is like a threshold! Ding Congli stepped into this threshold too early. He had enough impact but insufficient self-protection. As a result, he was unable to deal with the disaster when it came. Of course, it was also because... he trusted Wang Yuanhuan too much.
Already."
Zhuo Junyan fell into silence.
If Luo Jiaqiu's statement applies to himself, it means that if he is promoted too quickly, the system will kill him.
But the story cannot be copied mechanically.
Zhuo Junyan really didn't think this would happen, because it went against the meaning of the system's existence.
But it is true that this story has great reference significance.
It revealed another possibility to Zhuo Junyan... maybe there is a certain node.
People with strong abilities may reach the node early. The result is that they encounter crises early and are unable to resolve them when their self-protection capabilities are insufficient.
To put it simply, there is insufficient strength, the progress is too fast, and the follow-up cannot keep up, and the result is collapse!
I trust Wang Yuanhuan too much...
I trust the system too much...
Zhuo Junyan's eyes lit up slightly.
He murmured: "So if there is an inevitable result, there will also be a certain node..."
This explanation is more powerful and clearer than what Isadore said, "The strong are prone to challenge crises" and what Luo Jiaqiu said before, "The strong are easy to stand out and easily cause trouble."
Hard conditions!
Yes, this meets the hard conditions!
The only question is: what is this progress node?
Zhuo Junyan had a smooth journey in Yancheng and controlled everything. Even unexpected factors like Bai Qianjun and Duan Wuji were dealt with, and none of them triggered fatal consequences.
So it's obvious that none of them are what Tang Ning is referring to.
That's right, after all, Tang Ning couldn't possibly know about these people.
In other words, it has nothing to do with people!
It’s a condition!
It must be some special condition!
But now that he has even completed the regional mission, he can go back at any time as long as he wants. As long as he goes back, the so-called death this time will no longer exist.
Will you go back?
Won't!
Because he still has a special mission to complete!
Thinking of this, Zhuo Junyan suddenly felt horrified in his heart.
Could it be related to a special mission?
Once he completes a special mission, it will lead to death and disaster, and it is something he cannot resist at this stage?
And this is completely in line with the comment that "the greater the ability, the faster you die", because people with insufficient ability may not be exposed to the subsequent stages at all, and will not have those worries.
If that's the case, then it's okay not to complete the special mission yourself.
But in this case, what is the meaning of my identity as the Chosen Son?
More importantly, do you still need to make progress?
impossible!
Everyone knows that officialdom is dangerous, but how many people can give up because of this?
If you never complete a special mission in order to avoid the risks brought about by it, what kind of future and ability will you have?
From this point of view, the previous statement is also correct: "The stronger the ability, the greater the greed, and the greater the chance of committing suicide."
For this reason, the so-called abstention from greed also has boundaries.
There are some things you cannot be greedy for.
Some things have to be greedy!
The only problem is: most of the time you don’t know what you can’t be greedy about, let alone where the boundaries of greed are!
At this moment, Luo Jiaqiu looked at Zhuo Junyan. He didn't know what kind of mission Zhuo Junyan had and what kind of characteristics he had, but he at least felt that Zhuo Junyan was falling into a huge mystery, even self-doubt.
Luo Jiaqiu couldn't help but said: "Master, as the saying goes, it is important to move forward with all your strength to consolidate the industry, and it is also important to have a stable foundation. You have offended many people during this period, I suggest..."
Instinctively, he placed the crisis on Luozhou bigwigs such as Nanyue Junfengyinhou, thinking that sooner or later they would come over to cause trouble for Zhuo Junyan.
But Zhuo Junyan no longer thinks so - he doesn't think it has something to do with someone like Fengyin Hou Nanyue Lord.
They may have the ability to defeat themselves, but if they don't have the ability, they will kill themselves!
He shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, I have my own sense of responsibility for this matter. Oh, by the way, Jia Qiu, have the arrangements been made for the brothers and sisters Shen Zhengyuan and Gui Mao Mao?"
"It has been arranged, but the origins of these two people are mysterious..." Luo Jiaqiu hesitated and said, "Especially that Shen Zhengyuan, I always feel that his identity is not simple."
Zhuo Junyan smiled: "Jiaqiu, you are a smart man, but you are obviously not very good at reading people. In my opinion, Shen Zhengyuan has no big problem."
"Huh?" Luo Jiaqiu was startled, then realized what was happening and said in astonishment: "Gui Xiaomao? This girl doesn't seem to have any scheming intentions. What problem could she have?"
"No scheming?" Zhuo Junyan was happy: "You can approach me secretly and assassinate me, and then force me to let her go with just one sentence. The assassin of the Bloody Hall has been wandering around the world for many years, but it turns out that she is still a little girl with no scheming. How can she survive?
It’s still a miracle so far.”
Luo Jiaqiu opened his mouth in surprise: "Master, you mean..."
Zhuo Junyan waved his hand: "I didn't say anything. I'm not interested in their affairs now."
Luo Jiaqiu was confused: "Why?"
Zhuo Junyan replied: "Jiaqiu, remember. There are no secrets in the world, but most secrets are worthless. You can't pursue every secret, you have to keep your eyes on the overall situation."
"So you think their secrets have no value?"
"No, the part I know is not of much value. As for the part I don't know..." Zhuo Junyan spread his hands: "Since I don't know, what's the value? But, according to what I know, it should be very
It's valuable. But I don't want to touch it for the time being... I still have some troubles that I haven't dealt with, so I'm not in a hurry to cause more trouble to myself. Some things can be dealt with as soon as possible."
Zhuo Junyan said with a smile: "Okay, let's end the conversation here for today."
Luo Jiaqiu couldn't understand, but in the end he could only nod in agreement.
At this moment, Luo Xiaoluo hurried in from outside: "Master!"
"What's the matter?" Zhuo Junyan asked.
"There is news about Jin Wuxin."
"Huh?" Zhuo Junyan and Luo Jiaqiu looked at them at the same time.
After Gui Mao Mao kidnapped Jin Wuxin, he used him as bait to catch the mysterious woman. However, she was not caught and Jin Wuxin was rescued again.
This interrupted the clues, so during this period Zhuo Junyan could only ask his men to inquire - from beginning to end, he never asked Shen Zhengyuan's brother and sister for any other information about this matter.
At this moment Luo Xiaoluo said: "It was Jin Wuxin who sent a letter."
"A letter? Where is it?"
Luo Xiaoluo presented.
Zhuo Junyan opened the letter and saw that it read:
"Zhuo Xingzhu is here, and I see words like faces. We have been apart for many days, and I know that Xingzhu has been looking for Wuxin and has not gone on such a killing spree. Wuxin feels deeply ashamed. However, Wuxin no longer wants to get involved in the disputes between Jianghu and Jianghu. He just wants to spend time with his wife.
Under the moon, I am always old in Linquan. I know that the Lord has always been benevolent and righteous, and does not force others to do anything. Therefore, I write this letter, hoping that the Lord will let him go. I have no regrets for cultivating the Lord, and I have nothing to repay. I only wait for future generations to repay you with flowers and rings. Jin Liu
Character."
Looking at the letter, Zhuo Junyan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Jin... left a message... made a flower ring... I have never forced others to do anything... Haha... Master..."
Putting away the letter, Zhuo Junyan said: "I understand, you can go down."
Luo Xiaoluo asked: "What about Jin Wuxin? Just stopped looking for him?"
Zhuo Junyan didn't make a sound, and a ruthless look suddenly appeared on his face: "I saved his life, how can I just leave? Do you want to be free? You can only be free if he dies!"
As he spoke, he slapped the table with his hand, all the tables in front of him shattered, and a storm broke out in the room.
Luo Xiaoluo was so frightened that he could no longer speak.
Zhuo Junyan shouted loudly: "Here comes someone!"
A group of guards like wolves seemed to rush towards the hall.
Zhuo Junyan said: "Inform everyone to intensify the efforts to track down Jin Wuxin. Jin Wuxin leaked the details in the letter. He said that Lin Quan, the old man, is probably hiding in Xiaoliang Mountain and asked people to go look for him in the mountains!"
"Yes!" All the guards retreated one after another.
Zhuo Junyan said again: "Luo Xiaoluo, go notify Lu Xuanyou and ask him to mobilize all officers and soldiers to seal the mountain for me!"
Luo Xiaoluo cupped his hands and shouted: "Yes!"
"Wait a minute!" Zhuo Junyan suddenly said.
As he spoke, he took out a box from his body and handed it to Luo Xiaoluo: "This is one of my secret treasures. If there is such a thing, it can be detected by anyone within a hundred miles. Give this treasure to Lu Xuanyou and ask him to take it with you."
Soldiers and this treasure go to seal the mountain."
Luo Xiaoluo took the things and hurried out of Zhuo Mansion.
After watching Luo Xiaoluo leave, Luo Jiaqiu came over and said, "Master..."
Zhuo Junyan waved his hand: "I know."
Looking at Luo Xiaoluo's back, Zhuo Junyan laughed: "You are so brave, you dare to do whatever you want!"
With a snap of the fingers, the melodious music begins.
"Brother is a green onion and comes from outer space. If anyone wants to dip me in soybean paste, I will mess with his ancestors..."
