In fact, most of Zhou Ming's words that exposed Jiang Ruyue to the point of doubting her life were made up by him.

The reason why he saw through Jiang Ruyue's true identity was not as simple as relying on a photo that looked similar to her.

After all, there are so many people in the world who look alike? It is too weak a reason to guess the true identity of others based only on their appearance.

But Jiang Ruyue was already in a state of chaos. If she had been more determined mentally and denied it, she might not have been so easily frightened.

It's just that she has lived in a deep palace for a long time, is proficient in power struggles, and is experienced in the world, but of course she is not as good as Zhou Ming.

After letting her sit down, her mood stabilized, and Zhou Ming slowly stated his purpose.

Or maybe it's not the purpose, it's the reason why he did it.

That is to say, it does not exclude or object to Dong Yuanzhou sending various "complex personnel" into Hyun Qing City, and will not expel them.

Peace.

For peace between the two continents, for no more war between the two continents.

So Dongyuanzhou seeks to become stronger, and he will not stop the opposition.

It even stated that certain conveniences could be provided within the allowable level.

"this……"

Jiang Ruyue was a little stunned after hearing this reason.

Peace.

It turns out that Mr. Bai is a pacifist who cares about the world.

Thinking back to the war ethics film directed by Mr. Bai that I watched not long ago, it really proved that he is a compassionate and peace-loving person.

"Sir's character is admirable, but even if he helps me in Dong Yuan Continent, the war between the two continents may not be avoided. On the contrary, after Dong Yuan Continent becomes stronger, the war between the two parties will become more prolonged and tragic..."

Jiang Ruyue said that she did not agree with Mr. Bai's words. If Wancheng Kingdom insisted on destroying Dongyuan Continent, it would still be possible to swallow it up as long as it was determined and willing to bear a higher price.

"No, as long as Dongyuanzhou does not take the initiative to provoke, Wancheng Kingdom will not start a war rashly. In the past twenty years of war, Wancheng Kingdom has indeed gained huge benefits from it, but it has suffered heavy casualties and rapid growth of domestic inflation. , made people realize that war is a double-edged sword, which can bring benefits as well as disadvantages. If the disadvantages are equal to or exceed the benefits, people will give up the war and prefer to live a relatively stable life."

"At present, Wancheng Kingdom is not very motivated to expand externally. As long as Wancheng Kingdom does not find a reason or excuse to launch a war, Dongyuanzhou does not need to worry too much in ten or twenty years."

"If Dongyuanzhou can seize this short development window and significantly enhance its strength, Wanchengguo will not take action, and Dongyuanzhou's development opportunity period will be longer."

Jiang Ruyue nodded slightly, Mr. Bai's words did make some sense.

She also immediately said: If Hyun Qingcheng is willing to provide some convenience, Dongyuanzhou will never be detrimental to Wancheng Kingdom! Let the two continents have peace for generations.

Of course, these words are not true. If Dongyuanzhou is much stronger than Wancheng Kingdom in the future, she just doesn't want to attack Wancheng Kingdom, and the generals below will not agree.

She only gave a verbal guarantee. Whether or not a war breaks out between the two continents in the future is not up to her alone.

Zhou Ming nodded, and then asked the servant to bring a pile of books, about twenty or thirty books.

He pointed at these books and said to Jiang Ruyue: "These books are the gifts I prepared for you. They are all about politics, economy, technology, military and other aspects. They are very in-depth books. Take them back and read them carefully." , if you have any questions, you can come and ask me, and we will discuss it together."

The books he prepared are generally not available in the market, and cannot even be found in the libraries of prestigious colleges, because these books are all internal reference books, and quite a few of them were written by him in his previous life. In the country, only officials who have reached a certain level have the authority to borrow books, and they are not allowed to take them home or copy them.

The value of these books is no less than those of S-level cultivation secrets.

"Thank you Mr. Bai!"

Jiang Ruyue was overjoyed. The books recommended by Mr. Bai must be good books, and she would definitely read them carefully after she goes back.

This was indeed the case. After she brought these books back to her residence, she opened the title pages of several of them and saw the three words "Zhang Shanhe" in the author's name.

She was stunned at first.

Is it actually the book of that heartless man who failed his mother?

What’s so good about his books?

A feeling of disgust and resistance arose in her heart, but these books were given to her by Mr. Bai, so she still had to read them anyway.

So she read on.

This is incredible.

The whole person was completely trapped.

As crazy as drunk, as crazy as crazy.

Didn't sleep for three days in a row.

People don't feel tired at all. On the contrary, they become more energetic and excited the more they watch.

"well!"

"Wonderful, so wonderful!"

Such words often popped out of her mouth, and she would hold them in her hands while eating. She was completely immersed in the world of books.

Ten days later.

After reading all these books.

She just fell on the bed and fell asleep.

Three days later, I got up, rubbed my eyes, washed myself, and then went straight to Bai Mansion with a few books and asked to see Mr. Bai.

Zhou Ming happened to be free, so he met her in the living room.

As soon as she saw Zhou Ming, Jiang Ruyue opened the books she had brought with her and asked many questions, hoping that Mr. Bai could clear up her doubts.

You are really asking the right person to ask Zhou Ming. These books are summaries of his previous life. What questions can frustrate him?

He was clear and organized and answered one by one. Jiang Ruyue nodded her head in sudden realization.

Of course, there were also some profound and complicated questions. The more Zhou Ming answered and the more questions she asked, Zhou Ming broke them apart and crushed them into pieces, answering them systematically from point to surface, from appearance to core, and gave her The answers are clear and thorough, and all doubts are eliminated.

Sometimes it would take Zhou Ming a whole day to answer her question.

In order to answer all her questions, Zhou Ming found a secret courtyard and answered her questions for a month.

This month, Jiang Ruyue was like a sponge thrown into the sea of ​​knowledge, absorbing water hungrily.

Facing Jiang Ruyue, who had a strong thirst for knowledge, Zhou Ming felt that all the valuable information in his stomach was about to be emptied by her.

Fortunately, Jiang Ruyue had fewer and fewer questions in the future, and more speculative discussions and forward-looking predictions. Her thinking was active and her responses were quick and sensitive. It seemed that there were dozens of new ideas in her mind every moment. , and have the urge to realize these ideas.

From her body, Zhou Ming saw the growth that was like a rebirth.

If she returns to Dong Yuan Continent now, she may be able to do something earth-shattering in a few years.

With her intelligence and talent, as long as she is given enough time, she can create enough brilliance.

After seeing her remarkable progress, Zhou Ming no longer felt the slightest worry about the future direction of Dongyuan Continent.

In at most fifty years, Dongyuanzhou will become a super-large "Wancheng Kingdom".

"Teacher (Jiang Ruyue's name for Zhou Ming, he has already changed from Mr. Bai to teacher), what kind of person is Zhang Shanhe?"

Jiang Ruyue asked this day, suddenly becoming very interested in the saint Zhang Shanhe.

"Well……"

Zhou Ming pondered for a while before speaking: "He should be a mortal respected by people as a 'saint'."

"He has ordinary qualifications, ordinary family background, and ordinary luck. In the end, he created an extraordinary career with his ordinary body."

"But he has the shortcomings that mortals have, and he also has the advantages that mortals have. He is not a perfect person, but in the end almost everyone praises him, just because he has done some things that are beneficial to mortals from the standpoint of mortals. He Let mortals be compared to immortals, let mortals no longer always live at the bottom, and let mortals also become the masters of this world."

"And he did it. He changed the fate of hundreds of millions of mortals, so he was lifted up by mortals and became a saint."

Zhou Ming gave a general summary of himself in the previous life.

Jiang Ruyue was silent.

After a long time, she raised her head and said, "Teacher, tell me about that mountain and river."

She was a teacher who was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and her knowledge reserve awed her, so she wanted to know more about the story of that heartless man.

"Oh that's fine."

In the next few days, Zhou Ming spent about 70 hours in total telling the story of the 69-year legendary life of the saint Zhang Shanhe, just like telling biographies.

He quoted from many sources and provided sufficient examples, which is even closer to reality and more vivid than those "Zhang Shanhe Biography" on the market.

Jiang Ruyue listened very carefully, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking her head, sometimes frowning.

Especially when she heard about the entanglement between that man and her mother, she couldn't help but refute.

How could her mother be so bad when she was young? How could you be so selfish?

"Jiang Ruonan cannot be said to be a bad person. She just had to adopt a special survival strategy out of fear of losing her life. Normal people have the instinct to live and fear death. In extreme cases, dragging companions into the water is also a last resort... "

Jiang Ruyue still couldn't accept Zhou Ming's explanation and urged him to skip it quickly.

Until the end of the story, Jiang Ruyue was even more unacceptable surrounding the Demon Suppression Tower plan and Zhang Shanhe's death. She sternly accused Zhang Shanhe of hypocrisy and tried hard to defend her mother.

"Liar, he is a liar. He may be a saint praised by everyone, but he betrayed a woman."

"A woman who loves him deeply, a woman who has made many changes for him!"

"He would rather die than choose betrayal or another woman. He made a woman who had lost everything lose her last hope!"

Jiang Ruyue said loudly and couldn't help but shed tears.

"Actually... you misunderstood Zhang Shanhe. He didn't betray Jiang Ruonan, but he committed suicide because he felt sorry for the hundreds of thousands of innocent souls." Zhou Ming said.

"One hundred thousand wronged souls?" Jiang Ruyue looked puzzled.

"I wonder if you have heard of the 'Zengyang Pill'?"

Zhou Ming told the secret behind this story and why Zhang Shanhe betrayed Jiang Ruonan and chose to commit suicide.

Zeng Yang Dan.

It takes 100,000 lives to refine the Yang Yang Pill.

He said that in order to be with Zhang Shanhe for a long time, Jiang Ruonan was so cruel that he actually sacrificed the lives of 100,000 people in exchange for his lover staying with him for a hundred years.

Zhang Shanhe really couldn't stand this kind of thing. Even though he had been married to her for several months, he still couldn't get rid of the guilt in his heart and always considered suicide.

As for Gao Xiuzhen, Zhang Shanhe and her had never been together. It was just Gao Xiuzhen's one-sided crush. If Zhang Shanhe liked her, he would have married her long ago. How could he not be so straightforward?

If Zhang Shanhe really loved her, he would definitely know that after his death, Gao Xiuzhen would be heartbroken and even die for his love, so he would not leave the tower.

So we came to the conclusion: Zhang Shanhe didn't love either woman, he just wanted to commit suicide out of guilt.

"this……"

Jiang Ruyue found this inference very subversive.

Because this was completely different from what she understood, she asked her mother. She didn't want to say more, but just kept repeating: "It's not his fault."

"Zeng Yang Dan, did Jiang Ruonan really refine this elixir?" She asked, could her mother really refine this appalling elixir?

"It's very easy to confirm. Firstly, Zhang Shanhe, who has lived in the tower for several months, suddenly became much younger. Secondly, you can send people to the nearest outer continent to the east of Dongyuanzhou to investigate and check the border. In this city, if there has been any massacre by evil cultivators in history, you can find out if you check it."

When Jiang Ruyue heard this, even though she didn't want to admit it, Jiang Ruyue believed it seven out of ten.

There was no need to send someone to the neighboring continent to confirm. When she returned to her residence, she asked the ancestor Xangluo who had witnessed it back then. Jiang Ruyue learned that her mother had indeed refined the Yang Yang Pill.

"So, all the faults really lie on my mother's head?"

"But...she is also a miserable woman."

Jiang Ruyue wanted to continue to defend her mother, but after thinking about it, she could only abandon right and wrong and use the word "hard life" to defend her.

Come back again.

Summarize Zhang Shanhe’s legendary life.

Jiang Ruyue no longer had the previous resistance and aversion.

There was even a little bit of joy and pride.

Then she picked up several books written by him and read every word that symbolized "wisdom" in them, just like his teachings in person, which made her feel that she had gained a lot, and her heart felt warm and moved.

He couldn't help but sigh softly:

"My father is a good man."

…

A few days later.

After Zhou Ming discovered that Jiang Ruyue's feelings towards Zhang Shanhe had changed significantly, he was very pleased and thought to himself: This girl has finally been brought back.
