489 chapters, Zhuangzi said: I also will burn…

――――A red apricot branch sticking out of the wall

Zhuangzi said to Crown Prince Hui, I definitely did not come to your Zhao state in order to obtain a thousand gold. I came for my own life's sense of affinity with nature, that sense of breaking free from life's bonds and constraints, pursuing carefree ease in life, that's why I came to your Zhao state.

I came to Zhao state, what I cherish is the local customs and natural scenery of your Zhao state, that beautiful natural scenery.

To me, Zhuangzi, money is nothing but a pile of dung. You regard money as life, whereas I am exactly opposite to you. If you were to earn the whole world but lose your life, what could you still gain?

Using one's life to make money is something Zhuangzi despises. I, Zhuangzi, value human life, that fine quality in life, that excellence of life. If using my life could stop the Zhao king's fine sword, truly doing something for the people of Zhao state, then I would not hesitate.

Upon hearing Zhuangzi agree to go persuade his father the king, Crown Prince Hui became very excited.

Zhuangzi's indifference to being awarded a thousand gold made the Crown Prince very surprised.

A thousand gold, what a great temptation. That is a figure no one in the world could even dream of. Everyone lives in the money's eyes, drills into money's void. Every cell of the body is soaked with the smell of copper.

But this Zhuangzi regards a thousand gold as dirt.

This is truly a strange and extraordinary person.

This Zhuangzi is truly beyond Crown Prince Hui's expectation.

Actually, how could Crown Prince Hui possibly understand Zhuangzi?

Since Zhuangzi willingly goes to persuade the Zhao king, using his life as a stake to do good for the people of Zhao state, then quickly bring Zhuangzi to see the Zhao king. Crown Prince Hui said, a bit impatiently.

At that moment, Crown Prince Hui carefully sized up Zhuangzi, and only then noticed Zhuangzi wearing plain cloth clothes and straw sandals, travel-worn. With such attire, the Zhao king would not receive him.

Now the Zhao king only receives those dressed as swordsmen.

Those swordsmen wear heavy hats on their heads, with some vague tassels hanging; each wears short clothing, holds various treasured swords, and stares with strange beast-like eyes. When they meet, their gazes reveal ferocity, contempt, hostility, as if they'd like to swallow each other whole or run each other through with a sword.........

Crown Prince Hui said to Zhuangzi, the swordsmen's attire now is all strange, burning. Thus the Zhao king would only receive him; Master Zhuang, can you conform to local customs, in order to smoothly complete the mission, also change into swordsmen's attire?

Zhuangzi felt amused; this person is so skilled at disguising himself, as if putting on strange clothes would draw others' attention and thus glorify himself. Yet people often judge by appearance. At this moment, Zhuangzi gained a new understanding of the term 'clothes-wearing beasts'.

Yeah, everyone is burning, so I too will burn............
