"Another person's life?" Zhu Ci looked puzzled and didn't understand.

"Yes, another person." The man nodded seriously, his tone slow and full of mysterious power to change the world.

"Who is it?"

"Ordinary people."

"The people?"

"Yes."

"But I, I am the prince." Zhu Ci hesitated. As the crown prince, even if his country was destroyed and his family was ruined, even if it was his father's dying instruction, he had never really thought seriously about becoming an ordinary citizen.

"You have a choice. If you don't want to, just pretend I've never been here." The man shrugged, looking nonchalant.

"You... who are you?" Zhu Ci didn't want to make a decision, even though this decision sounded like it would at least allow him to survive.

"I am the Great Immortal Qingniu."

"Great Immortal Qingniu?" Zhu Ci's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. He hurriedly said, "I know you, Great Immortal, you have great magical powers. I beg you... Please send me to Nandu. When I succeed to the throne in Nandu, I will issue an edict to build a temple for you in every prefecture in Jiangnan. Whatever you want, I can give it to you."

After Zhu Ci was made the crown prince, Chongzheng assigned him many prestigious teachers and children from aristocratic families to accompany him in his studies.

He learned about the existence of the Green Ox Immortal through the mouths of the children of aristocratic families.

He even thought of going to the Qingniu Immortal Temple to pray for Dali.

Unfortunately, the prince was of noble status, so if he wanted to pray for blessings, he could only go to the royal Taoist temple or Buddhist temple. Worshiping wild immortals was not in accordance with the etiquette and was not in line with the ancestral system, so he was never able to do so.

He never expected that the Green Ox Immortal would appear when he was in trouble.

However, Qin He's words dashed his hopes: "It's useless. I've tried many times, and your Dali luck is over."

"No, no, my Dali still has half of Jiangnan, the powerful soldiers in the nine borders, more than half of the territory, and the complete set of six ministries left by Emperor Chengzu in Nando. As long as I arrive in Nando, I can succeed to the throne immediately. Li Zicheng is unjust and is definitely not a human ruler." Zhu Ci shook his head excitedly.

Qin He looked at the slightly stubborn young man in front of him, with a thousand words in his heart.

I have helped your Dali many times, but no matter how many times I have helped you, you have the ability to pay it back with interest.

After the decline of Dashun's Python of Luck, your Dali Golden Dragon showed no signs of recovery. Instead, it continued to decline to the critical point of complete collapse. This great immortal has no way to deal with it.

Finally, the so-called half of Jiangnan that you mentioned is the territory of the Donglin Party. If you go there, you will only be worse off than your father.

So your Dali is no longer worth saving.

The more you help, the more chaos will escalate, and the longer the chaotic situation will last.

I saved your life out of respect for your father's iron will.

However, could Qin He tell him these words?

There's no point in explaining it, and even he can't understand it.

So when the words were on the tip of his tongue, Qin He said directly in a bad mood: "Your Dali has nothing to do with me. Hurry up and make your choice. If you keep nagging, tell Li Chuang that you want to go to Nandu to succeed the throne and see if he agrees."

With just one sentence, Zhu Ci looked as pale as death.

Expectations are beautiful, but reality is cold.

Chongzheng's face at the time of parting appeared in his mind, full of regret and anger, but more of despair. He didn't even mention a word about Nandu's succession to the throne, but instead kept his identity secret and lived on.

"Immortal, where are the people's homes?"

At this time, the girl Mingwan asked timidly, and her bright eyes were filled with a strong desire for life.

Qin He looked at her, his expression softened, and said, "It's very far away."

"Is it...ok there?" the girl asked again.

Qin He smiled slightly. "There are vast fertile fields there, with good weather and abundant harvests. There are also forests of plums, and the aroma of wine fills the air."

……

"Gee~"

In front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhou Kui personally drove the carriage and rushed over.

Zhou Kui was originally from a small family of gentry. He was good at budgeting and became rich after his daughter was selected as the Princess of Chongzheng through a selection.

After Chongzheng succeeded to the throne, he amassed wealth on a massive scale and became a famous wealthy man in the capital in a very short time.

However, Zhou Kui's family was frugal, and taking money out of his pocket was more painful than skinning him alive.

After losing all his family property, Zhou Kui was in great pain.

But now, he had hope of regaining his strength. He couldn't wait, and the horse neighed continuously as he whipped it, just to get to the Prime Minister's Mansion as soon as possible.

He had already thought of his excuse on the way.

There is only one goal, to use Zhu Cihe and Mingwan to exchange for the donated family property.

Liu Zongmin was not trustworthy, but Prime Minister Li Yan was a rare official in the Shun army who kept his word. He was very confident that he could get his family fortune back, even if not all of it, at least part of it.

However, what he didn't know was that Li Yan, whom he trusted, was now under house arrest and was being guarded by Li Zicheng's personal soldiers.

"who?"

The chief of the personal guards was a young man with thin lips and sharp and cold eyes. He stretched out his hand to stop Zhou Kui's carriage from a distance and shouted at him.

"Sir, sir, my name is Zhou Kui. I have an important matter to discuss with the Prime Minister." Zhou Kui jumped off the carriage and bowed respectfully to the chief of the personal guards.

"It's you?"

The captain of the personal guards glared at Zhou Kui and pointed at him, saying, "How dare you, Zhou Kui, defy the curfew? I think you are tired of living."

"Come here, arrest him for me."

“No, no, no~”

Zhou Kui was so frightened that he jumped up and down, not daring to keep the secret any longer. He shouted, "I have captured the crown prince and crown princess of the previous dynasty and brought them to the Prime Minister's residence. I am here to make a contribution."

"What, the former crown prince?"

When the captain of the personal guards heard this, his face suddenly showed ecstasy, and he asked anxiously: "Where is the former crown prince?"

After the Shun army captured the capital, the former prince disappeared. As time went by, many people in the army speculated that he had taken a ship south to the south of the Yangtze River before the city was captured.

The secret order of King Chuang was that whoever captured the crown prince of the previous dynasty would be promoted three levels and rewarded with one million silver coins.

Zhou Kui actually captured the crown prince of the previous dynasty. Although he did not capture him himself, it was still a great achievement for him to take over the crown prince of the previous dynasty and put him in the Heavenly Prison.

"It's in my carriage, General, please look!" Zhou Kui led the captain of his personal guards to the front of the carriage as if he was presenting a treasure, and lifted the curtain.

However, the scene inside froze the anxious expression on the guards' face.

Zhou Kui opened his eyes wide and exclaimed, "Hey, where are the people?"

I saw that the carriage was empty.

Everything in the carriage was intact, but the people inside were missing.

"Haha, the prince, right?" The captain of the personal guards slowly turned his gloomy face.

"General... this, this, this must have run away..."

"It's okay, it's in the next life, be careful~"

As the words fell, a cold light flashed.

Zhou Kui only felt that his vision was constantly rolling, and then was swallowed by the darkness.
