Chapter 34: No Ambition
Plums have sour teeth and soft teeth, while banana leaves are divided into green and window screens.
I fall asleep with a long time and feel heartless, watching children catch willow flowers.

After the first heavy snowfall in Chengdu, Song Que finally arrived.
The winter snow is clear, and the white snow on the eaves has not melted yet. The cold wind is blowing, making people's face dry and the sun shines down, which is a bit dazzling but doesn't feel warm.
Wanwan and I sat in a teahouse, looking down at the welcome scene below. Wanwan was wearing a white fur coat and sat on a chair, her smooth and shiny feet appeared and disappeared from time to time.
"Are you cold without wearing shoes?" I said with some heartbreak as I looked at it.
"This is our unique practice method of Yingui School. We use true qi to protect the whole body. Whether walking, eating or sleeping, we are in a state of pursuing the qi at any time. Over time, using true qi will be purely natural, just like in daily life." Wanwan said seriously.
"But you can practice qigong even if you wear shoes." I gave an example, "Like your master, and Qing'er..."
"I don't like wearing shoes, I don't like being bound." Wanwan said in a thumping tone.
"There are always some reasons?" I asked unwillingly.
"Are you curious?" Wanwan glanced at me sideways and said in a bad tone.
Of course I am very curious. When I read the original work of Datang, I was puzzled by why she didn’t wear shoes. A person develops special habits because of certain special things. Now that I have the opportunity to ask her in person, I naturally don’t want to miss this opportunity.
"Yes." I said with anticipation.
"I won't tell you." Wanwan smiled proudly.
“…”
I feel that I can't beat this quirky witch in my life, so I turned my head and looked outside. From here I happened to see the main road of Chengdu City. This is the only way for Song Que to enter the city. Jie Hui came to the city gate with his injuries to greet him. All forces in Bashu had come forward, and ordinary people along the street were waiting excitedly, and they were proud to be able to see Song Que.
It is not difficult to understand the significance of the Song family to Bashu when seeing this scene. Although the welcome scene was very lively, it was not so serious. At that time, the Song family was just a prince who was in peace. At that time, the Sui Dynasty was in a prosperous state and peace in the world.
Now, as one of the forces that can win the world, the Song family has a different significance to Bashu. This person named Song Que is not only the leader of the Song family, but also has a few masters in the world, but may also be the future emperor.
"It's a pity to be able to achieve Song Que's level." I sighed.
"Do you really want to be him?" Wanwan asked with interest.
"Uh, I don't want to." I said flatly, "My ideal is just to live the life I want with the person I like. There is a saying that goes, love the country and love beauty even more."
"It seems that even if you become an emperor, you will be a ruthless monarch." Wanwan chuckled.
"The tyrant monarch will not be the only way to ignore the government." Thinking of being an emperor, I couldn't help but shake my head and smile, "I have been a small employee all my life. Being a leader is too tiring and stressful! If you accidentally destroy the country, you will be infamous for thousands of years."
"You really dare to think about it." Wanwan said disdainfully, "The master once commented on the heroes in this troubled world. Li Yuan was too weak, Dou Jiande was too reckless, Li Mi was too feminine, Wang Shichong was too conceited, Du Fuwei was too short-sighted, but Song Que had no shortcomings. He was dormant in Lingnan for many years, and if he didn't move, he would be overthrown the world."
"Oh, where is Li Shimin?" I asked curiously.
"Among these rising stars, Li Shimin is too gentle, Bai Yujing is too slick, Kou Zhong is too domineering, Xu Ziling is too gentle, as for you..." Wanwan paused.
"Why are there me?" I wondered.
"Who made your popularity very popular?" Wanwan gave me a blank look, "Master said you are too unambitious. If the Jianghuai Army is in your hands, then..."
"Ah, you don't think about dealing with Boss Bai, are you?" I said nervously, "Even if you are crossing the river, it's too early to destroy the bridge."
"What bridge is broken? I haven't even arrived by the river now." Wanwan said angrily, "The master sighed that Bai Yujing is not his own person after all. Although Senior Sister Qing'er is taking care of her, Bai Yujing looks so close, but she is an idea-making person in her heart. If she betrays us one day, the Yingui Sect will definitely suffer a devastating blow."
"It's not that serious, right?" I said in disbelief.
"This is a battle to dominate the world, not a joke." Wanwan blamed, "If you are not careful, you will lose all the money. The person who loses will die. A future emperor will not want to be controlled by a sect, so it is only a matter of time for us to break up with him."
"Since the Yin Hou can see so clearly, why still..." I wondered.
"This is a process of playing chess. No one knows the result until the end. Judging from the current situation, the Jianghuai Army is the best choice. Things in the future are full of variables. It depends on who can hold on to the end. Maybe there will be a way to compromise." Wanwan said uncertainly.
Such examples are everywhere in history. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang relied on the Ming Cult when he first started his army, but after he became emperor, he slaughtered the Ming Cultists, forcing the Ming Cult to change his appearance to survive. This is Zhu Yuanzhang's fear. He could seize other people's world by relying on the Ming Cult, and others might also seize his world by relying on the Ming Cult, and he had to eliminate this threat.
"It seems that fighting for the world is really a complicated game." I smiled bitterly, "This game is so cruel and not fun at all. I think you are enjoying it."
"That's natural." Wanwan's eyes suddenly lit up, "This is a matter that concerns the whole world. Think about the general trend of the world is just your thoughts. You have the opportunity to create a new dynasty. You can stand at the top and look at this world. Wouldn't this make you excited?"
"I don't feel anything at all." I said honestly.
"So you have no ambitions." Wanwan said with a contemptuous look on her face.
"Maybe it!" I said honestly.
Among the people I know, it seems that everyone has their own ideals. Even Sun Simiao has become a miracle doctor. Of course, he is like this, other fallen geese and beautiful immortals. Even Wan Jing has expressed a strong interest in integrating the Yin Gui and Dongming factions. The only one who has no ambitions like me seems to be Su Su and Chuchu.
Is it because we are all at the bottom of society?
The two of them are little maids at the bottom of the society in this era. I am a little employee at the bottom of the society in the future. I don’t have hope for the future, so my life is relaxed, there is no motivation to climb upward, and there is no pressure. This should be because I have no ambitions!
Just as I was thinking about the meaning of life, cheers on the streets outside suddenly rang out, one wave higher than another, making the cold weather in the city seem to become hot.
After the first heavy snowfall in Chengdu, Song Que finally arrived.
