The Medical Guru - Chapter 1121
Chapter 1121 Promise Me, Be a Good Emperor
When Zhu Zhangyuan returned to the cottage and saw the 18 corpses, he was shocked and secretly praised the young man in his heart.
The young man pulled out the donkey carriage behind the cottage and let Zhu Zhangyuan sit on it. Then, he set fire to the thatch.
“The thatch cottage?”
Looking at the blazing flames, Zhu Zhangyuan asked with a puzzled look.
“Many people died here. It won’t be a peaceful place in the future. I won’t come back here after I send you back.”
The young man replied in a low voice and then drove the donkey carriage with Zhu Zhangyuan.
…
The expressions of all the audience changed.
From the previous scenes, they saw decisive killings, brutal battlefields in troubled times, and the rise of an ambitious hero. At this time, what they saw was the beginning of a promising young man’s life.
Home, what did it mean for a sixteen-year-old youth?
It meant everything.
But the young man let everything go up in flames.
The chaos caused by war, the turbulent days, and the appearance of Zhu Zhangyuan, disrupted the young man’s peaceful life.
But even so…
The youth did not blame him, nor did he try to shirk his responsibility. Instead, he chose to serve the people and bring peace to the world.
This kind of righteousness was worthy of everyone’s praise!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After the intensive fight, they were prepared to enjoy the relaxed plot next so that they could soothe their nerves.
Unexpectedly, the roar of a tiger suddenly sounded.
Everyone was stunned.
Before everyone realized what had happened, a huge tiger appeared and instantly pounced on them.
What the fuck!
That was one huge tiger!
Everyone froze there when the tiger jumped out.
It looked so real!
Another exciting fight between a young man and a tiger took place. The situation became extremely dangerous.
However, the movie critics only fixed their eyes on the tiger. They didn’t care about the fighting. They only wanted to find out how the tiger could appear so realistic.
Every strand of its fur looked so real.
Since when did the special effects technology become so advanced?
How did the director do it?
After this intensive fight, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
A good movie should contain both relaxing and intense scenes. It shouldn’t be controlled solely by a highly charged atmosphere.
The director was well aware of this, so thereafter, a light-hearted plot followed.
The scene changed.
The donkey carriage arrived at Jinling City.
“We’re in Jinling City. Where are we going then?”
The youth asked.
“Let’s eat something first. We’ll talk about the rest later.”
Zhu Zhangyuan poked his head out and asked, “Do you have any money on you?”
“No.”
The youth shook his head.
“Then go and steal some.”
Zhu Zhangyuan told him directly, without any hesitation.
“You’re a great leader. Don’t you feel ashamed to say such words?”
The youth sniffed in disdain.
He even looked down on him.
At this moment, Fang Qiu’s performance completely reflected the simple-minded, romantic nature of a young man. In the face of bloody and cruel battles, his resolute character shone through, but deep inside, he was still a sixteen-year-old child, innocent and amiable.
“Shameful?”
Zhu Zhangyuan chuckled and said, “Broaden your mind and see the world. Do you think anyone can live well in this world? Everyone is trying their best to get more benefits in order to survive. Do you think anyone will pay attention to you? What’s more, it’s shameful to be hungry in such a chaotic world. How can a person who can’t even fill his stomach survive and make a living in such a chaotic world?”
“I’ve already thought of a plan for you.”
Before the young man could say anything, Zhu Zhangyuan instructed, “Go steal from Shen Wanshan. He once secretly helped Zhang Shicheng collect food for the Yuan Dynasty.”
Hearing his words, the young man frowned and thought for a moment, then reluctantly nodded in agreement.
This scene amused the audience.
It was because of Zhu Zhangyuan’s craftiness and Yang Yizhi’s innocence.
This part was full of comedic elements.
Even some young girls in the audience thought that Yang Yizhi and Zhu Zhangyuan, a young man and an ambitious hero, were suited to be a couple.
Yang Yizhi decided to go out at night to steal.
Clad in black clothes, he sneaked into Shen Wanshan’s mansion and stole a large bag of things in an incomparable and thrilling manner. He did not go back directly to Zhangyuan. Instead, he went to the slums and distributed all the stolen money to the poor people there, leaving only one ingot of silver for himself.
After doing all this, he went to Zhu Zhangyuan.
“You merely stole an ingot of silver?”
He was dumbfounded.
Chen Wanshan was such a wealthy man. How was it possible that he only managed to steal a small piece of silver?
“I gave the rest to the poor in the slums.”
The youth told him the truth.
“Are you stupid?”
Zhu Zhangyuan was anxious and said, “By giving them all that silver, it may cause more harm.”
“You are such a fool.”
The young man snorted disdainfully and said, “I looted the money house and exchanged all the silver for copper coins.”
Their squabble caused another burst of laughter.
“Smart enough!”
Zhu Zhangyuan smiled and said, “Do you want to be my guard?”
“We have to stay alive first. We’ll talk about other things later.”
The youth told him.
“Do you agree?”
Zhu Zhangyuan asked with a smile.
“Not yet.”
The youth shook his head expressionlessly.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it. I’ll take it as a yes.”
Zhu Zhangyuan laughed loudly and then went out to buy some food with the money.
He ate his fill.
The youth continued his journey with Zhu Zhangyuan.
Under Zhu Zhangyuan’s guidance, the young man drove the donkey carriage to a village and stopped outside.
They quietly hid in the cellar of a farmer’s house.
They didn’t disturb anyone.
“Next, I want you to help me get in touch with the army,” said Zhu Yuanzhan.
“Get in touch with them?”
The young man was confused and asked, “Why don’t we go to them directly?”
“Young and naive.”
Zhu Zhangyuan shook his head and said with a smile, “I’m being hunted down, which proves there must be a traitor. If I go there directly, the traitor will find out. Therefore, it’ll be safer if they come here to pick me up.”
“Alright.”
The young man understood instantly. After learning the army’s exact location from Zhu Yuanzhang, he immediately went to contact them.
In the end, he was discovered by the traitor.
Their whereabouts were exposed.
As soon as the young man came back, Chen’s army sent five hundred people to the village and directly surrounded the whole village.
They searched the entire village but found nothing.
However, they were still eager to kill Zhu Zhangyuan.
The traitor in the army openly showed up and threatened the villagers with their lives.
“Zhu Zhangyuan, come out.”
“Zhu Zhangyuan, you can’t get away anymore. If you come out, I promise I will not hurt these villagers. Don’t force me to kill them.”
“Zhu Zhangyuan, why haven’t you shown yourself yet? Well, I’ll kill one person every half-hour. Let’s see how long you can hide!”
Shouts kept coming from the rebel army.
“Let me go out.”
In a cellar at the edge of the village, Zhu Zhangyuan, his eyes bloodshot, wanted to confront the traitor and prevent him from killing people.
However, the young man stopped him.
“Either all the people of the village live, or you are the only one alive!”
The young man’s voice was filled with pain and his eyes were red. He said, “They have begun to kill people!”
“No. It’s not too late. Let me out!”
Zhu Zhangyuan got up and tried to force his way out.
However, he was knocked unconscious by the young man and then the youth carried him out of the cellar. He found a dark road and quietly left the village.
On the other side, the traitor together with Chen’s army, was still killing people.
He found a cave.
He hid Zhu Zhangyuan in it. Although they were far away from the village, he could still hear the painful and desperate cries for help from it.
He clenched his fists tightly, and even his nails pierced into the flesh of his palms. His eyes were red with anxiety!
Time passed by.
Zhu Zhangyuan suddenly woke up.
“The villagers? Where are they?”
The moment he woke up, Zhu Zhangyuan immediately stood up. He turned his head and looked around in a crazed manner, eager to get out to save the people.
“Pa!”
The youth stood up and threw the things he brought out of the villagers’ house onto the ground. He said, “This is your food. I’ve already contacted your people. They’ll be here soon.”
After that, he lowered his head and walked out silently.
“Where are you going?”
Zhu Zhangyuan asked in doubt.
The youth turned around and smiled at him, but his eyes were still red. He said, “Promise me that when you become an emperor in the future, you must protect your people well. Remember I saved you by sacrificing the human lives of a whole village…”
Then he said in a low voice, “Count me in.”
“Now, I’m going to kill!”
He finished the last sentence coldly.
The young man stepped out.
“Wait.”
Zhu Zhangyuan shouted, “I promise you, but you are not allowed to go there now. I will kill all of them when my army comes and avenge the villagers!”
“No!”
The youth shook his head and said, “I need to take revenge. Beyond that, I have to die with them. They died because of me!”
He ended his speech.
The machete in his hand flashed.
With a swish, he cut off Zhu Zhangyuan’s robe and immediately strode away.
In the big screen, the young man left.
Everyone, including the movie critics, was silent, their eyes red-rimmed.
Their eyes had brimmed with tears ever since the first villager was killed.
“How could he do that?”
“Why didn’t he let Zhu Zhangyuan go out and save the people? Why didn’t he go out himself? Was he afraid of death?”
“He did the right thing. He did it for the sake of the world!”
In the movie hall, some people were very emotional and couldn’t help asking, as if they too were involved in this troubled situation.
Even though many people were in tears, no one answered them because the show was still playing.
The youth fought against five hundred people by himself.
Along the way, blood flowed like a river.
He was covered with wounds.
He wanted to kill all five hundred people to avenge the villagers!
He would not miss a single one.
He had been stabbed more than a dozen times, and his blood flowed from his body to the soles of his feet. His face was ghastly pale due to massive blood loss. In spite of this, he still continued fighting and killing.
In the end, all five hundred people were killed.
The young man was seriously injured and fell into the river.
At this time, all the movie critics and audience went silent.
No one made any critical remarks about the youth being selfish and afraid of death.
He was not afraid of death at all. He forced himself to make a tough decision.
He exchanged the lives of the entire village for Zhu Zhangyuan’s life.
Then, he set forth to seek revenge and sacrificed his life.
He did all of this only for the people’s well-being.
“Promise me, when you become an emperor in the future, you must take good care of your people…”
Soon after, Zhu Zhangyuan arrived with his army. He saw the corpses and blood all over the ground. He also found the half-broken machete that the young man often used, but he could not find the young man.
He was enraged.
Immediately, he gave the order to surround Jiangping.
At the same time, he was looking for the best craftsmen in the world to cast a new machete for the young man!
“Kid, I believe you will definitely come back.”
The heavy machete was forged, Zhu Zhangyuan held it, and launched a battle in Jiangping!
A huge battle started.
Chen Youliang’s former subordinates joined hands with the killers from the Yuan Dynasty to assassinate Zhu Zhangyuan.
The battle was so intense that the defense in the military camp was greatly reduced. Many killers took the opportunity to attack and rushed straight into the military camp. They weaved their way among the guards and headed straight for the center of the camp.
Zhu Zhangyuan left the camp with his saber, ready to fight to the death with his soldiers!
All the soldiers united for one purpose.
In the face of those rampageous killers, they were fearless and rushed out, one by one.
It was such a pity!
Since more and more killers with incredible martial arts skills kept pouring forth, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties!
Zhu Zhangyuan stepped forward with his saber, ready to fight against the killers in person.
However, the soldiers did not allow him to do that.
Meanwhile, the killers were getting closer and closer.
“Clang!”
Right at this moment, the clanging sound of a blade rang out.
A long blade appeared quickly from a distance and embedded itself into the ground before those killers.
Then, a figure flew over.
“It’s him.”
Seeing the figure, Zhu Zhangyuan laughed and shouted, “I knew you were still alive!”
The youth rushed into the group of killers.
With a blade in one hand, he fought against all the assassins in black.
The reinforcements rushed over and surrounded all the assassins in black. Zhu Zhangyuan ordered that no one was allowed to take action. The youth fought against all the assassins in black alone.
A big battle took place, and everyone at the scene sat up straight to watch it.
This battle was quite exciting and shocking.
The scenes, the special effects, and the fighting movements were undoubtedly exciting to the extreme.
What mattered most was that the young man no longer smiled, but had an indifferent look on his face.
A sixteen-year-old youth, who witnessed the loss of so many lives, fell silent. He had grown up as well.
Everyone suddenly felt sorry for this young man.
A great battle had come to an end.
The young man finally finished off all the killers!
At the same time, the good news came.
The battle of Jiangping resulted in a great victory!
“You’re back.”
When all the killers died, Zhu Zhangyuan immediately went up to him and grabbed the young man with great joy.
“I should leave.”
The youth replied.
“Stay here and be my guard!”
Zhu Zhangyuan tried to persuade him to stay.
“I didn’t promise you that.”
The young man shook his head and added, “A young man should travel around in Jianghu, not in the imperial court!”
“Alas.”
Knowing that he couldn’t persuade him, Zhu Zhangyuan could only hand over the precious machete he made to the youth.
The youth left.
He looked at his receding back.
Everyone’s eyes were wet.
It was not because of the reunion after a long separation, but because of the young man’s belief. When they thought about what the young man had done, his small figure became incomparably tall in the eyes of all the audience.
The movie was over.
“Whew…”
There was a collective sigh at this scene, and then tumultuous applause followed.
He turned his head and looked back. Everyone’s eyes were still wet with tears, including those movie critics.
The applause went on for a long time.
After a long while, just as everyone got up to leave, a bonus scene suddenly appeared on the big screen: a young man with a glass of wine appeared in front of the graves of the villagers and toasted them, one by one.
“This world belongs to Zhu Zhangyuan. He is a good emperor. Everyone will have a good life in the future. This should be what you want, right?”
“I’m sorry you couldn’t see it.”
“I’m sorry…”
