From this day on, his ambition to make progress in the world has gradually become much more restrained, although what needs to be done must still be done.
But it can no longer be like before, living in mediocrity all day long and being entangled in the mundane world.
That night, Zhao Rui and Murong Chunyu slept on one bed, and Chu Chen and Wang Yuyan slept on another bed.
The wind and snow howled outside the window, and Zhao Rui saw through the window lattice that the space between heaven and earth was getting wider and wider, and the pale moonlight hung high in the sky.
The night is as dark as ink.
The sound of Wang Yuyan and Chu Chen's couple snoring came from time to time. Zhao Rui couldn't sleep and lay on the bed tossing and turning.
Murong Chunyu, who was beside him, knew that Zhao Rui couldn't sleep, so he hugged Zhao Rui's waist tightly in his arms.
Asked softly: "Why, can't you sleep?"
Zhao Rui shook his head slowly and hissed: "Everyone praises me for being the king of the ages. However, do you think it is really important that I have expanded my territory in the past few years?"
"There will always be an end day, and besides, I can't really bring the whole world under the scope of the Great Shang Kingdom. When everything turns to dust a hundred years later, won't it still be what it should be?
"
Zhao Rui turned his back and said to Murong Chunyu.
Murong Chunyu thought carefully. Although he didn't say anything, he actually agreed with Zhao Rui's words from the bottom of his heart.
Early the next morning, when the wind and snow gradually subsided, a group of merchant soldiers followed the government's instructions and drove chariots to clear the official roads of Yuqing City as quickly as possible.
Zhao Rui and Murong Chunyu said goodbye to Wang Yuyan and Chu Chen and went down the mountain along the official road.
In less than an hour, the two of them had entered Yuqing City.
After these weather changes over the past few days, Yuqing City has become quite different from before. As far as the eye can see, it is completely white.
Since both Qin Xingyun and Zheng Yuanshan were in Mawang Village, it was meaningless for Zhao Rui to stay here, so after resting for half an hour, he rented a sedan and headed to Mawang Village.
Along the way, Zhao Rui kept thinking about Chu Chen and realized that Chu Chen and his own thoughts were actually the same. It was nonsense to say who was right and who was wrong.
Chu Chen is a very persistent person. From this point of view, he is very similar to himself.
The biggest difference between me and him is actually that one person is doing something while the other person is still at the starting point. Other than that, there is nothing else.
Zhao Rui had previously promised the emperor of Dashan that he would unify the world and extend the land area of Dashan to every corner of the world.
It seems that there is indeed nothing wrong, but Zhao Rui has ignored a serious fact, that is, this matter will have no result no matter what.
When he dies on the battlefield one day, all this will end.
Let me ask, by then, will all this still be important?
The wind and snow were swaying between heaven and earth. Although the sky had broken open and the sun was shining on the earth, the snow had finally stood firm.
It can be said that jade crushes the universe.
Zhao Rui took a deep breath and saw the sedan bearers carrying the sedan to the entrance of Mawang Village.
Under the big locust tree, it was like the first time Zhao Rui set foot in Mawang Village, except that the treetops were already covered with snow.
