Chapter 419: I am not that kind of person
The Great Ming Prince's originally dead eyes burst out with scorching light, looking at Chen Guanlou as if he had seen the future, seen the great cause of rebellion he had been thinking about day and night.
He was like a mentor, an elder, encouraging a confused young man to inherit his great cause of rebellion.
He had originally thought that being caught and thrown into the Heavenly Prison meant his life had reached its end, and his great cause had also reached its end; there was nothing left in this world worth him thinking about.
A turn for the better!
Never expected that with a turn, Heaven had actually sent him a chosen successor for rebellion.
Hahaha...
Heaven will not let him perish!
His great cause of rebellion had only encountered setbacks temporarily; as long as he fooled Prison Clerk Chen onto the pirate ship, the great cause of rebellion would surely have a day of rebirth, and would definitely be able to surpass his achievements, vigorously overthrowing the rule of the Great Gan Dynasty.
Medical Official Mu:...
His mood was very heavy, his brain was very confused, and the development of things exceeded expectations, heading towards a strange path.
Clearly, they were criticizing, but in the time it took to bend down and pick up a pen, why did the conversation advance to the step of the Great Ming Prince inciting Chen Guanlou to rebel?
Was the conversation progress too fast for him to keep up, or was his brain stupid and unable to figure out the key?
He had to speak up: "Prison Clerk Chen, you must not be fooled by him! Eating the government's food well, why go eat the beheading food of rebellion? Only a fool would do that. You weren't really fooled by him, were you?"
Chen Guanlou laughed: "Great Ming Prince, you are indeed as lacking in judgment of people as ever. I just said a few words casually, and you took it seriously. Look at me; do I look like someone who can endure hardship and suffering to rebel?"
"You are!" The Great Ming Prince said decisively, "As long as you want, there is nothing in this world that can stump you."
"The key is that I don't want to." Chen Guanlou waved his hand, "Any other requests?"
"I want to see Prison Clerk Chen every day." The Great Ming Prince decisively put forward a request, "I want to talk to Prison Clerk Chen every day. I have already walked into a dead end and might think of committing suicide at any time. The old Emperor wants to use me to offer sacrifices to Heaven and certainly won't allow me to die. Prison Clerk Chen doesn't want me to die either, right? If you come to accompany me to talk every day, I guarantee I won't commit suicide."
Chen Guanlou sneered.
However, the Great Ming Prince looked at him with scorching eyes, and seeing him dismiss his words, this person suddenly slammed into the wall.
Medical Official Mu shouted, unable to bear looking.
Chen Guanlou cursed secretly: Crazy!
The water-fire stick flew out, directly crippling the Great Ming Prince on the ground.
The Great Ming Prince didn't feel pain, looking at him with an even more intense gaze: "Prison Clerk Chen has already witnessed my determination. I am seeking death, and no one can stop me. Unless Prison Clerk Chen can promise me to come to the Heavenly Prison to visit me every day and accompany me to talk."
Chen Guanlou got goosebumps; he couldn't stand the Great Ming Prince's gaze; it was too damn...
"If you want to die, I can fulfill your wish."
"If Prison Clerk Chen refuses to inherit the great cause, then please let me die!" After finishing, the Great Ming Prince closed his eyes, looking like he was waiting for death.
Chen Guanlou:...
Medical Official Mu:...
The two looked at each other.
This direction of development, neither of them had expected beforehand. It was too strange.
Chen Guanlou regretted his initial actions; he shouldn't have spouted nonsense; he was just talking for fun, but someone took it seriously. And in turn, they were holding it against him.
This feeling of being stifled, he truly regretted it.
Chen Guanlou took the opportunity of helping the Great Ming Prince up to point a few times on his body.
The Great Ming Prince suddenly felt as if his body had been shackled with heavy chains, and he couldn't use any strength at all. Even if he wanted to stand up, his legs and feet gave up powerlessly.
"You..." He showed terror, his heart uneasy.
Chen Guanlou said coldly: "You need to learn to be content with your lot. You are in the Heavenly Prison now; what great courage, daring to turn around and threaten me. In this place of the Heavenly Prison, only I can threaten people; no one has ever been able to threaten me. Old Mu, give him some medicine, let him lie down every day like a vegetable, lying until next year's sacrificial ceremony."
"You can't do that."
"Of course I can do that. You just need a mouth; it won't delay you from babbling blindly every day."
Medical Official Mu also said: "Since the Great Ming Prince has harbored a desire for death, it is indeed very necessary to use some medicine. Great Ming Prince, don't panic; the medicine only makes you temporarily lose the ability to move and seals your cultivation. After you give up the idea of suicide, I will give you the antidote. Don't blame Prison Clerk Chen either; we are all eating the government's food, so naturally, we have to listen to the imperial court's orders. The imperial court wants to preserve your life until next spring; not a day late or a day early."
Medical Official Mu took a bottle of medicine from the bottom of the medicine box, took out a pill, and handed it to Chen Guanlou: "Give it to him to take; one pill every day from now on, I guarantee he won't be able to move. Just like you said, lie down like a vegetable, with only a mouth that can still move."
The Great Ming Prince tried to struggle, tried to clench his teeth.
However, all of this was futile in front of Chen Guanlou; he directly dislocated the other party's jaw, threw the pill into his mouth, forced the other party to take it, and then closed his jaw.
The Great Ming Prince had never suffered such humiliation, his eyes filled with immense resentment.
Chen Guanlou, however, was smiling, his mood particularly good: "You should understand now; our paths are different, and we don't conspire. Your great cause of rebellion, leave it to someone destined; don't think about this official. This official will spend his life eating, waiting for death, eating fragrant and spicy food; only a ghost would rebel."
"You... you are simply wasting heaven's gifts, hopeless. Do you know what the world outside looks like, do you know that the commoners are in deep water and scorching heat, do you know..."
"What if I know, what if I don't know. I go to work on time, spend money every day, take care of the business of small vendors, and contribute to the prosperity of the market and everyone's happy life. I have a clear conscience. It's not my responsibility that the commoners are not living well. Whoever caused all this, go find them; no one is stopping you. Whoever is compassionate, go find them. Whoever has the ability to solve crises and help the distressed, go find them. In short, don't find me; I am not that kind of person."
Chen Guanlou stated his point of view righteously.
He fulfilled his obligations and responsibilities. Don't expect more responsibilities from him.
He had no lofty ideals of saving the people from hanging upside down, nor did he think he had that ability. His views, his thoughts, and his ideology seemed to blend with this era, but in reality, they were incompatible.
Overturning this sky and this earth with a group of people, this matter sounds very burning, but he had no interest. Whoever is willing can go.
He had endless life, and he just wanted to watch the scenery.
The rise and fall of a dynasty, to him, is just a piece of scenery on the journey of life. As a bystander, there is no need to have too much sense of participation.
"You are escaping; this is the behavior of a coward."
"Ah, you're right, I am a coward. Satisfied?" Chen Guanlou teased with a smile.
The Great Ming Prince's chest heaved violently with anger, and Medical Official Mu was afraid that the other party would die on the spot if he didn't catch his breath. He hurriedly persuaded Chen Guanlou: "Say less; if you anger him to death, you will be the one to suffer." ===== CHAPTER 420 =====
