A group of hungry people swallowed their voraciously, and the thick and hard horse meat was also eaten with relish. Zheng Shen and the other two could only look at the way they came, hoping to see life-saving lights and figures.

The bandit leader burped and walked over with a hatchet. The two disciples were so scared that they fought, and said, "Teacher, I can't serve you anymore. If you have the fate, let's see you again!"

Zheng Shen said: "People know the joy of life, but do not know the pain of life; they know the fatigue of old age, but do not know the waiting for old age; they know the evil of death, but do not know the rest of death. We should also rest."

He is worthy of being a cultural person, and he is still writing when he dies.

The bandit leader knocked on the hatchet on the stone, "Stop looking, where are there any reinforcements? I hate the most to treat me as a fool. You are rich and rich! You are knowledgeable and knowledgeable, you are going to die under my knife!"

He spitted on his hands and raised the knife high with both hands. Zheng Shen and the other two were already desperate at this time, closed their eyes and were killed.

Suddenly someone shouted, "Look, someone is here, someone is here!"

The bandit leader lowered his knife and looked back. He saw a little spark in the distance. It was blurred at the beginning, but gradually became clearer and clearer. One, two, three... a long string of firelight moved towards them from far and near.

A disciple of the Zheng Sect shouted: "Here you come! They are here! Look, what we said is true!" There was a crying voice in his voice.

After a while, the torch dragon approached. At this time, it was seen that it was a team of knights, with about dozens of people. The knights dismounted one after another, walked up one after another, and pressed their hands on the knife around their waists. The bandit leader came forward and said, "You are..."

Before he finished speaking, the person on the other side raised his hand and stabbed into his heart with a knife. The other soldiers also drew their swords in their hands, scaring the robbers all knelt on the ground and kept begging for mercy.

The disciple of Zheng Sect cried and said, "It's Niu Guard! Niu Guard beside His Majesty!"

Zheng Shen's heart instantly sank from the joy of salvation to the bottom of the valley. He just avoided the robber's knife and saw His Majesty's knife again, just a moment earlier or later.

Niu Decao walked up with a bloody knife, with a resentment on his face as if he had just killed someone. He looked at Zheng Shen and said, "Mr. Zheng, Your Majesty asked me to see you off." As he said that, he looked forward to the knife.

Zheng Shen closed his eyes, no fantasy in his heart. After all the calculations, he could not escape this disaster. Your Majesty, he misreaded His Majesty. Your Majesty is not a child, Your Majesty is an emperor, a hero.

The pain of stabbing the knife into his body was not yet there, but suddenly a slight ease on his body. Zheng Shen opened his eyes and saw that the ropes on his body fell. Niu Decao in front of him bowed to him and said:

"I came to see Mr. Zheng on the order of Your Majesty. Your Majesty ordered me to send me a hundred miles away to ensure my safety. Now that the hundred miles have passed, I have to say goodbye and return to the camp to report to Your Majesty." He turned around and wanted to leave.

Zheng Shen asked, "What else does Your Majesty have to say?"

Niu Decao turned around and smiled and said, "Your Majesty said, "Your Majesty has done it clearly before and made it clear that you are doing things for the people, not committing yourself to Your Majesty. Therefore, Your Majesty does not support you as loyal. Although you abandon Your Majesty in this trip, it has nothing to do with rebellion. Your Majesty wants you to go your own way and see you again on the battlefield in the future, and you don't have to worry about it."

"But," Niu Decao suddenly raised his voice and said loudly: "Your Majesty once sighed to Mr. Huo, saying that Mr. Huo has the talent of Xiao He, but he has no luck with Xiao He. Decao dared to speak out loudly, Mr. Zheng is knowledgeable and has excellent talents, but he is not aware of the wisdom of others. After five years, Mr. Huo will know that the teacher misreaded it at the beginning!"

After saying that, he turned around and ordered the soldiers to leave the horses and eat them, and drove the robbers to the road ahead.

Zheng Shen stood silently, and a disciple stepped forward and said, "Master, where are we going?"

Another disciple said, "Master, Your Majesty is so open and honest, and I will leave without saying goodbye. Isn't it... not good?"

Zheng Shen did not answer, but staggered onto the horse and headed north.

The fire in the dark night gradually divided into two routes, one by one, one by one, and one by one, the other one by one, and the two sides gradually moved farther and farther away.

Zheng Shen didn't say anything any further along, and he kept muttering in his heart, "Did I see it wrong? Did I see it wrong?"

Unfortunately, at present, he had been wrong once, and was outrageously wrong. His Majesty's actions exceeded his imagination. The fifteen-year-old child did not keep him or hurt him. Instead, he allowed him to come and go, and even sent someone to protect him and save his life, showing an open-minded and broad mind, and also carrying a rare friendship among the imperial family.

Compared with His Majesty, all Zheng Shen's thoughts and plots seemed a little petty. It turned out that he didn't have to sneak or try to get rid of the pursuers. Even if he left openly, no one would stop him.

If the gift of Baili is affectionate and righteous, then if you stay or stay, you will show an incomparable confidence and domineering attitude towards the world. If people say it clearly, it will prove that Zheng Shen has no knowledge of others, and his original view was completely wrong.

Niu Decao's words were like a big stick, which made Zheng Shen feel a little nervous. If all his hesitation about leaving was due to unbearableness and was out of affection, now he has changed unconsciously. At this moment, he is out of profit and reality. Zheng Shen is constantly reflecting that if His Majesty kills him, he can be called a hero. If His Majesty lets him go, he can be called a hero. If His Majesty lets him go, he can be called a hero. Perhaps he has really misunderstood His Majesty. Such talent and such a mind, even if the momentum is small, how can he not achieve great things in the future?

Perhaps, Zheng Shen can really be Xiao He next to Emperor Gaozu? Can he really be famous in history with His Majesty's east wind? Isn't it a better choice to support His Majesty, who is full of talents around him, who is not short of him?

The most terrible thing is that the emperor's behavior has put him in an extremely embarrassing situation. Even if there is no life-saving matter, in the eyes of others, it is obvious that the emperor has feelings and righteousness. If Zheng Shen died of his life from now on, it would be fine. If he went to another place to serve, he would definitely be regarded as a villain who abandoned his old friends and climbed up the branches.

At this time, Zheng was deeply grateful to the emperor for his life. If he abandoned it and turned to Liu Xiu, he would immediately become a ruthless person. He would be ridiculed by the world. I am afraid that even Liu Xiu would look down on him. Even the two disciples around him might have already had similar ideas.

Losing your reputation is absolutely unacceptable for a great scholar.

Zheng Shen was suddenly shocked. Could it be that the little emperor did this on purpose, blocking him from changing the path of the family, leaving him with no way out? Can a fifteen-year-old child have such unfathomable scheming? He has always regarded him as a "child". Did he look down on himself and underestimate His Majesty?

In any case, Zheng Shen felt that he had no choice.

He stopped the horse and turned his head. The disciple hesitated and asked, "Does Master want to go back?"

"It is Zheng's ambition to be loyal to the mountains and rivers and stay away from the court. The three armies can seize the commander, but every man cannot seize the ambition. Therefore, even if Your Majesty is the emperor, he cannot seize the ambition to the deep." Fortunately, he has never told anyone about his intention to follow Liu Xiu, and even his son Zheng Bai is not known. At this time, he can still use the ambition to talk about things and make some face regain his face.

"However, the situation is different at this time. Your Majesty saved Zheng's life. Zheng's body belongs to Your Majesty. If you are brave enough to repay Your Majesty, how can you forget your kindness and righteousness for your own ambitions and abandon Your Majesty and leave?"

Zheng Shen sighed and said, "The mountains and rivers are unchanged, but they can wait until the future."

This place is quite perfect. The disciples behind him are already memorizing it silently, preparing to record it in the future, and pass it on to the Master's future generations.

They had just been silently admiring Your Majesty's mind in their hearts, and at this time they began to admire the Master's benevolence and righteousness. In order to repay Your Majesty's kindness, the Master gave up his ambitions in the mountains and rivers, which can be called "Renyi Confucian".

This sentence "The mountains and rivers will not move, but you can wait until the future." It is a good thing. The mountains and rivers will not disappear. First, you will become an official in the world and then realize the ambitions of mountains and rivers in the future!

Zheng Shen did not hesitate anymore, and rushed back to Linjin all the way. As soon as he saw Liu Penzi, he fell to the ground and said, "My minister Zheng Shen came to see him late, so please give up the crime."

Liu Pengzi was sitting on the couch for dinner. A piece of beef had just been sent in. When he saw Zheng Shen, he threw it out in one go, making a big black dog squatting on the ground.

His Majesty the Emperor threw away the chopsticks, and jumped off the ground without even wearing his shoes. He rushed forward with barefoot steps and helped Zheng Shen up with both hands, and said excitedly: "Ziyuan, you are back, I have missed you for a long time."

At this time, Zheng Shen, who had always been steady, was so excited that he couldn't control himself. His thin face was full of tears, while the little emperor's big black face smiled, his mouth grinned to the root of his ears, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Liu Penzi even wondered whether the opera scenes in later generations would have their "monarch and ministers' association" this time. At that time, Zheng Shen's white face should be replaced by loyal and righteous blushing, and His Majesty's black face should be replaced by handsome white face. After all, later generations have always regarded sissy as beautiful!

The king and his minister completed the show tacitly. After careful calculation and arrangement, they finally found the intersection of interests and reached an agreement. The four hands were tightly held together, and the two looked at each other, knowing it clearly and tacitly.

Little Banden, who was watching next to him, had another opinion: Your Majesty is as fond of Long Yang, and he likes old people! Your Majesty had discussed the army with Tian Kuan before and fell asleep with his feet. Now he stared at Zheng Shen deeply and cried to the face, which fully demonstrated His Majesty's preferences.

If the little emperor knew his thoughts, he would probably not take it seriously. Not to mention that this is fake news, it doesn't matter if it is real Longyang. In that era, this was not an alien behavior, but a fashion trend. Several generations of emperors of the Han Dynasty had a conclusive foundation of evidence.
