REINCARNATION GODDESS OF MEDICINE
192. The Past of Zhang Lingyuan
"Are there some bad memories of Master Zhang about the battlefield so as not to want to get involved again ?" Chang Rui asked frankly.
"Miss, please pull your question again !" Zhang Nan cried while kneeling.
"Don't interrupt the parent's talk !" Snapped Zhang Lingyuan firmly.
"I'm sorry.... " Say Zhang Nan while looking down.
"Indeed there are some bad memories, it's just that it will make Miss become bored because of that old story. " Zhang Lingyuan said.
"If Mr. Zhang is willing to tell me, then I will listen, if not, then do not force it. Because whatever is forced will not end well. " Chang Rui said calmly.
"Well, then I'll tell you one of my experiences. I originally had a complete family, me, my wife, my first son and my second son. But, at this moment only left me and my second son. " Zhang Lingyuan said.
"In that year, I was so old that I did not realize that my Wife and eldest Son had been captured and they were taken as hostages. The enemy asked me to choose, whether my family or the residents of Wu City. If I open the gate then everyone will die but if I don't open the gate then my family will die. " Zhang Lingyuan looked to frown his forehead as if enduring an immense pain.
Chang Rui could imagine the pain that Zhang Lingyuan was experiencing was definitely unbearable.
When it came to such a heavy choice then Chang Rui himself did not dare to mention what choice he would choose, among the families and lives of many people.
"Then, what did you choose ?" Ask Chang Rui.
"All the people of Wu City. " Say Zhang Nan weakly and looked dejected with his own words.
"There is nothing wrong with my choice, people say that my heart is cold. But, people don't know even if I open the gate, those two families will still be killed by the enemy. I clearly remember how they shouted begging me not to open the gate, they said it was better to die than surrender to the enemy. " Zhang Lingyuan said.
"You really deserve all the glory, why hide here?" Chang Rui asked gently.
"What is all that glory for ? My heart has died with them and I am here only trying to live a peaceful life, so if we want to join then we will refuse. " Zhang Lingyuan said firmly.
Chang Rui knew that even if he forced it then Zhang Lingyuan would rather die than be forced under his pressure.
"Then, are you guys willing to become an iron forger in Wu City ? Not directly involved. " Chang Rui said.
"We'll consider this, actually it's the same. Whether involved or not directly but still involved into the war itself. " Reply Zhang Lingyuan.
"If not cooperating then everyone will be uprooted even the peace of this Yue Village will also be disturbed, at that time then it is too late to regret. Master Zhang should understand what I mean. I'll wait for some good news from you, Mr. Zhang. " Chang Rui said then stood up.
"What's your name, Miss ?" Zhang Lingyuan asked.
"Yu Cheng Qing, but I'd rather be called as Chang Rui. " Chang Rui replied with a faint smile.
While the dervish Nangong Li was just watching in front, not making the slightest sound, just standing in silence.
"Why don't you step in ?" Ask Chang Rui.
"This place is already very full, if I force my way in wouldn't it break everything ?" Nangong Li asked with a faint smile.
If only he was alone then it would not matter, but he today had to protect Nangong Li as well.
Otherwise he would feel guilty for not keeping the person he had brought away well.
While Nangong Li himself had a special reason for not getting inside Zhang Lingyuan's wooden hut.
Because, the two had met several times in the war against the bar people, whether the senile old man would remember it or not.
If remembering it will bring trouble to him, will not all his efforts be in vain ?
Nangong Li did not want to take the risk and could only take this way, taking the excuse that the wooden hut was narrow.
It was true what Zhang Lingyuan said, the old man had already lost his family.
Nangong Li and Chang Rui climbed on the horse and gazed towards Zhang Nan who was driving them all the way to the village gate.
"We are waiting for the good news from Yue Village, Wu City will always welcome you at any time. " Chang Rui said, before finally spurring his horse.
"Why don't you want to use coercion for them ? If so, what if they don't want to join ?" Ask Nangong Li.
"When fighting a person with a tough nature then you can't fight him hard either, it takes gentle and patient action to get the best results. If not, you will get imperfect results. " Chang Rui said casually.
"Are you sure this will work ?" Ask Nangong Li again.
"Trust me, they'll be here in a week. " Chang Rui replied confidently.
Nangong Li looked at Chang Rui's confidence and ended up not asking anymore, because Chang Rui was so confident then Nangong Li would not ask him again.
After all, if he were to question it again would make Chang Rui become insecure.
Nangong Li did not want Chang Rui to be in doubt with the plan he had made himself.
"What's your next plan ?" Ask Nangong Li.
"I will return to Hongli Village then return to Wu City again to take them and give them a reward. "Jawab Chang Rui while looking at the surrounding scenery is very beautiful.
"Well, I'll follow your plan, 'cause I trust you. " Said Nangong Li.
Chang Rui did not reply and just looked at Nangong Li with a grateful look, not many people had said they believed him.
Trust is something that cannot be bought with anything, Chang Rui himself knows that Trust is expensive and cannot be replaced with anything else.
"Thank you for believing in me, I will definitely not disappoint your trust. " Chang Rui ' said, they are enjoying their conversation too much and have completely forgotten about Cui San's whereabouts.
