My system is 3000 years ahead of schedule
Chapter 121 Zhao Jin, please give me a chapter
Chapter 121 Zhao Jin, come back to me (please subscribe)
Since Dayan left, Cheng Guang drove the flying boat to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Cheng Guang stood in front of the deck of the flying boat and found that the sky in the evening seemed clearer. It was not dark, but a clear blue.
The mountains outside Tianhuo City were covered with a thin layer of light under the reflection of the setting sun. Cheng Guang looked at the light and returned to the bedroom on the flying boat.
Regarding Princess Ning Wang, it can also be said that Cheng Guang is more fascinated by Jiang Luojing.
He found that the yellow flower in his storage ring suddenly disappeared, and Jiang Luojing said that the yellow flower he gave her was quite good.
Cheng Guang knew that one day in the future, he would give Jiang Luojing a once-over.
Even if he doesn't know what will happen in the next day, he can probably guess that it must be related to Jiang Luojing's identity and himself.
This time Jiang Luojing continues to stay in Dayan Kyoto, but she doesn't know what her purpose is, and she doesn't know if her identity will be exposed.
Cheng Guang didn't care about this.
His task has been completed.
Cheng Guang glanced at the faint light emanating from the mountains outside the flying boat, then turned back to the flying boat room.
"Receive award."
After entering the bedroom, Cheng Guang closed the door and windows and spoke to the system in his heart.
As soon as he finished speaking, golden rays of light began to bloom in front of Cheng Guang's eyes.
Those golden lights were like flowing water, slowly flowing out from the void, converging in front of Cheng Guang's eyes, and gradually condensing into a square stone like a tombstone, with complex and ancient characters written on it. Even if you look carefully, you will see that Even though the words on it were as small as a mosquito, I couldn't tell what they meant.
Cheng Guang just glanced at it, without looking too much at it, and reached out with one hand.
The moment his fingers touched the princess's tomb, the princess's tomb instantly solidified and fell heavily into Cheng Guang's hands.
The Princess Tomb is not big and can be held in one hand. It feels cool in the palm of your hand. If you hold it in your arms on a hot summer day, it can be used as a portable air conditioner.
At the same time that Cheng Guang came into contact with Princess Tomb, a piece of information also poured into his mind.
[Princess's Tomb: The Princess's Tomb, born towards death, reversing the world, turning yin and yang in reverse, covering up the secrets of heaven. This seems to be the tombstone of an ancient figure, waiting for reset. 】
Cheng Guang looked at the Princess Tomb in his hand and was a little confused by the information conveyed by the Princess Tomb.
The princess's tombstone, the tombstone of an ancient figure, waiting to be reset?
Which princess is it?
Cheng Guang was confused and felt that the princess tomb he had just obtained was of little use.
First, he did not know the specific location of Princess Tomb. Even if he obtained the tombstone of Princess Tomb, he had no way to reset it.
Secondly, even if he got the specific location of the princess's tomb, he could reset the princess's tombstone.
However, looking at the introduction of the Princess Tomb, it seems that there will be some changes after the Princess Tomb is restored. There are words like "living toward death" in the introduction.
It should be possible to awaken that ancient figure.
Cheng Guang still didn't know whether the ancient figure buried under the princess' tomb was evil, so he rashly awakened it, but he had no way to control the consequences.
Let's wait until he becomes stronger later to make plans.
At present, this Princess Tomb is something he cannot touch for the time being.
Cheng Guang put the princess' tomb away and looked out the window at the night, knowing that it was almost time for the system to issue another mission.
He did not leave the room, and after asking Qingluan and others not to disturb him, he sat cross-legged in the bedroom and practiced for a while.
When the time approached, Cheng Guang opened his eyes.
At the right time, the system's cold voice, without any emotion, sounded in his ears.
[On September 34, the 80th year of Zhengsheng, you became the No. [-] Heavenly Realm. You found the remnants of the Great Chu who were besieged and killed in Tianhuo City. 】
[She really has not died from the beginning. You find that the identity of this remnant of the Great Chu seems to be not simple. It seems to be a certain empress in ancient times. You think of the Xi Liang women who were established somewhere when the world was in chaos. The country seems to be the work of this remnant of Chu. 】
[This newly established Xiliang Women’s Kingdom seems to have a great relationship with the identity of this remnant of the Great Chu in ancient times. In ancient times, there seemed to be a Xiliang Women’s Kingdom. Thinking of this, you suddenly understood that this This remnant of the Chu Dynasty may be the reincarnation of the Queen of Xiliang in ancient times. 】
[She re-established the Xiliang Women's Kingdom when the world was in chaos, but for unknown reasons, not long after, she dismissed all the newly established Xiliang Women's Kingdom. 】
[You are confused, and at the same time recalling the chaos in the world, you can't help but feel a little disappointed for a moment. 】
[The decline of the Zhenguo Palace was not only caused by the remnants of the Chu Dynasty and the demon clan who were behind the rebellion, but also due to the great chaos in the world, which caused the Zhenguo Palace to lose the Dengshi and the Northern Expeditionary Army. In the chaos that spread throughout the world, he had little value and role. He was abandoned by the Zhou royal family and his status plummeted. 】
[And the source of that disaster was the sudden appearance of a secret realm in the Great Zhou Dynasty. When the secret realm appeared, it attracted strong men from all over the world to gather, but all the strong men who entered the secret realm were missing in the end. 】
[Most of the top celestial beings in the major dynasties have been lost. The balance of the world's forces has just been maintained for less than a hundred years, and it was broken in an instant. There are endless disputes between dynasties and between the Jianghu forces. 】
[When you recall the scenes of that year, you can’t help but lament in your heart. If you had seized that opportunity and been promoted to heaven when the world was in chaos, you might not be missing among the many powers in the world now. a place. 】
[But it’s hard to look back on the past, so you just thought about it for a moment. The most important thing for you now is to see if you can find the secret place from back then. 】
[Shortly after the secret realm was born, countless strong people went to explore it and quickly figured out a set of rules. For example, as long as you don’t take the initiative to break the wine vat, the monkey demon in the secret realm will not take the initiative to hurt you. As long as you just enter In the secret realm, smear three-flowered grass on your body, and those weird bugs will not be able to get close to you. As long as you do these two steps, you can not only swim in the secret realm, but also get out without any injuries. 】
[You are confident that if the secret realm that caused chaos in the world can reappear, with your current cultivation as a human, you will definitely be able to gain a lot of benefits from it. 】
[Four-star mission: Explore Wudao Mountain again. 】
[Task reward: Tianhua Dao Pill. 】
The system's cold and emotionless voice fell from Cheng Guang's ears.
After listening to the newly released tasks from the system, Cheng Guang narrowed his eyes and was shocked.
In the original future world, the four major dynasties no longer existed, or in other words, even if they existed, they were already fragmented. There was no longer the current situation where the four major dynasties were checking and balancing, and other small dynasties were dependent on the four major dynasties.
In the future, the power structure of the world will be destroyed and the source of the world's chaos will turn out to be just a secret realm.
What kind of secret realm is it that can attract the attention of the world's powerful people?
It can even make all the top celestial beings in the world disappear, so that the top combat power in the world is cut off.
This kind of secret realm must be no small matter.
If it happens again, even he will not be able to stop the general trend of the world in the future. As long as the secret realm appears again, the world is likely to be in chaos again.
Even without King Nanming, the current status of Da Zhou would probably not be maintained.
Cheng Guang couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue when he thought of this.
Cheng Guang thought deeply for a moment, and then his eyes fell on the four words "Xiliang Women's Kingdom" in the system task prompt.
Seeing the four words "Xiliang Women's Kingdom", Cheng Guang's eyes couldn't help but shrink.
He is too familiar with the existence of the Xiliang Women's Kingdom.
Reminiscent of the Taoist boy in red he met in the secret realm last time, as well as the Tushita Palace, the Western Liang Women's Kingdom seemed to exist in his memory.
Apart from the Xiliang Women's Kingdom, what shocked him even more was that Jiang Luojing was most likely the reincarnation of the queen of the Xiliang Women's Kingdom.
From this point of view, Jiang Luojing's background is not small.
They are all characters from ancient times.
But, why have all these figures from ancient times disappeared?
Even those places and some palaces in ancient times were broken into pieces and turned into secret realms that were separated from the world. They would only reappear in the world under extremely special and rare circumstances.
Cheng Guang frowned slightly.
The sudden disappearance of these characters, and the special bloodline of the royal family in the world...
There are too many unknowns in this world.
With all kinds of doubts, he couldn't help but wonder whether the appearance of the royal family in the world had something to do with these ancient existences.
Who did he inherit the bloodline of the ancient Great Xia God Emperor from?
Who is this God Emperor of Great Xia?
The more Cheng Guang thought about it, the more headache he got. He rubbed his brow slightly tiredly. He couldn't figure it out for a while, so he stopped thinking about it. The things he was exposed to now were all beyond his scope of cognition.
Not to mention him, even some of the royal families in the world, as well as many old antiques who did not know they had lived for hundreds of years, may not know some secrets of ancient times at this time.
Cheng Guang pondered for a moment and turned his attention to the system's mission reward.
Tianhua Tao Pill.
Just from the name, you can tell that it is a pill.
But the specific effect is unknown.
We can only wait until the system task is completed before looking at it.
Cheng Guang calmed down his mind and continued to practice.
…………
Time flies by.
Cheng Guangfeizhou took advantage of the sunlight and returned to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.
Today's Zhenguo Palace is very different from usual.
Normally, there were only two guards in front of the door, but today there were two more.
These two guards were clearly not the guards of the Zhenguo Palace. Although they were wearing casual clothes, they had an aura that ordinary people could not possess.
"These are the guards of a wealthy family, and they have good martial arts skills."
Cheng Guang knew that these guards had a good background and they should have guests visiting.
Cheng Guang glanced at the extra new guards and didn't pay much attention to them. The flying boat hovered over Zhenguo's mansion and went straight off the flying boat.
Qian Siyuan and Li Zhengyang followed Cheng Guang off the flying boat and landed next to Cheng Guang.
Qian Siyuan frowned slightly at this time, and there was still a little worry between his brows.
"Your Majesty, we did not complete the mission His Majesty ordered this time, so we came back directly. If His Majesty blames you later, it will be difficult for us to explain."
Cheng Guang seemed much more relaxed than Qian Siyuan. He smiled and said to Qian Siyuan: "Uncle Qian, this is how things will go this time. Either no one can find the remnant of Chu, or after he finds it, he will deal with it too." No."
"If His Majesty asks about it later, just ask him to find me."
Cheng Guang comforted Qian Siyuan and led Qingluan and Qin Yanqiu to the door of the house.
Qin Beifeng stood outside the door, hesitated for a moment, then kept a close distance from Cheng Guang, and followed Cheng Guang.
Qian Siyuan and Li Zhengyang looked at Cheng Guang's leaving figure and glanced at each other, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.
Li Zhengyang scratched his head and said: "The Crown Prince has given this order, so we don't need to think too much about it. Just do this."
Qian Siyuan nodded in agreement.
With the lantern holder, everyone turned and left.
When Cheng Guang approached the gate of the mansion, the old guards naturally did not need to say anything and immediately greeted him respectfully.
When the two new guards saw Cheng Guang, their eyes were slightly startled, and then they seemed to recognize Cheng Guang and opened the way for Cheng Guang.
Cheng Guang returned to Wanxiang Garden, and Qingluan packed the luggage he had left with him, brought hot water and asked him to wash his hands.
Cheng Guang then smiled and said: "There is no need to work too much. You have worked hard all the way. You and Qin Yanqiu should take some rest."
Qingluan shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I am not tired. You should worry about yourself and Miss Qin..."
Qin Yanqiu sat at the stone table nearby, looking slightly bored and holding his chin, as if in a daze, with a little fatigue showing in his cold beautiful eyes.
Cheng Guang couldn't help but laugh when he saw Qin Yanqiu's appearance.
Along the way, I didn't do much serious work, and most of my time was spent traveling back and forth.
The ride on the flying boat was boring, there was nothing interesting to do, so I had to have fun by myself.
It can only be said that Qin Yanqiu suffered a lot along the way.
Cheng Guang himself was not feeling very well.
Thinking of this, Cheng Guang secretly stroked his waist, grinned and said, "Qingluan, make more food at night. You may be tired these past few days and your condition is not good."
Qingluan nodded ignorantly and agreed.
Qin Yanqiu's cold face didn't change much after hearing Cheng Guang's sophistry. She didn't care about it. She secretly caressed her belly and thought about when she could get pregnant.
Calculating the time, if you wait until you are pregnant and the child is born, you don’t know how long it will take.
If she does not go to the battlefield for a long time, her cultivation level will be fine and will not decline, but her martial arts will most likely be in ruins.
If you haven't fought with the enemy for a long time, your skills will inevitably become unfamiliar.
Qin Yanqiu secretly shook his jade hand, looked at his palm, and was in a daze for a moment.
After a while, Qingluan brought several prepared dishes to the table. In addition to a few dishes, there were also many snacks.
While eating, Qingluan thought of something again and said as if: "Your Majesty, there seems to be an important guest coming to the mansion today. Let's go back to the mansion. It is impossible for the master and his wife to not notice such a big movement."
"I think it was because the important guest came and was disturbed, so he didn't have time to come to us for a while."
"After dinner, Prince, would you like to go over and take a look?"
Cheng Guang said casually: "Let's talk later. They may be discussing something. If they want me to go over to meet guests, I think they will inform me later."
Cheng Guang guessed that the guests who came to the mansion this time were probably of high status. If not, there would be no need for Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei to entertain them warmly.
Even when he returned home, he didn't even bother to see him, and he didn't know why.
Cheng Guang was thinking about it, and suddenly thought that when he left Kyoto and went to Tianhuo City, the capital of the Great Yan Emperor, Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei had said that they would find another marriage for him.
Isn't it because of this?
Cheng Guang had a headache.
As far as he is concerned, he really has no shortage of women right now.
Wu Yuemei and Cheng Zhihai were worried about his marriage because he was not married yet and he was already in his 20s. Even in this world where he could practice cultivation, he was considered an older man.
Cheng Guang sighed. If Qin Beifeng hadn't caused such a drama, his wife would now be Qin Yanqiu. That would be great, so why bother with such a drama again.
Now if Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei really find another marriage for him, he really can't refuse.
Thinking of this, Cheng Guang's eyes fell on Qin Beifeng who was standing aside, his eyes were rather sad.
Qin Beifeng noticed Cheng Guang's gaze, his face was slightly startled, and he couldn't help but lower his head.
Ever since Qin Beifeng knew Cheng Guang's identity, most likely the prince of Dachu, his attitude towards Cheng Guang was not much different from before, but his starting point was a little different.
The respectful mood is obviously a bit more.
same time.
Qin Beifeng was also more careful.
At present, in the entire Duke Zhen's mansion, apart from the prince himself, he is the only one who knows Cheng Guang's identity.
He had to be prepared just in case. If Cheng Guang's identity was exposed, how should he escape with Cheng Guang.
Cheng Guang did not keep his eyes on Qin Beifeng for too long. He just glanced at Qin Beifeng and then looked away.
By this time it was dark.
The ever-burning lanterns hanging in the courtyard provide bright yellow light, adding a bit of warmth to the slightly cold night.
After eating, Cheng Guang took out a few deck chairs from the courtyard and lay down together with Qin Yanqiu. Qingluan stood behind him to serve, looking at the sky.
The dark sky is dotted with shining stars. In the night sky near summer, as long as there are no clouds, you can always see the stars.
These stars are like fine flows, spreading out a bright star river, flowing diagonally towards the starry sky.
It's quite beautiful.
…………
At this time, many people were already sitting in the huge reception hall of the Zhenguo Palace.
"Elder Ning, then this is how our matter is settled?"
Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei sat at the top with smiles on their faces.
This time it was Cheng Zhihai who spoke in a rather relaxed tone.
Under Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei, a luxuriously dressed old woman nodded slightly.
"It is my great fortune, Taihao Sword Sect, to be able to marry into the Duke of Zhenguo."
Cheng Zhihai smiled and said, "In that case, the wedding will be held soon."
The old woman named Cheng Zhihai and Elder Ning nodded, then raised her eyes and looked at Cheng Zhihai and said: "Master Cheng, it is great that our Taihao Sword Sect can marry the Duke of Zhenguo. However, the children we give birth to will inevitably have a bad future." I still want to inherit the position of the leader of Taihao Sword Sect, and I’d better say this in advance.”
"If the imperial court has problems with your succession to the Duke's position because of this matter, I won't care about it, old woman."
The meaning of Elder Ning's words is that it is obvious that after marrying their Taihao Sword Sect, the children born in the future will definitely inherit the position of the leader of the Taihao Sword Sect. In the future, the court will prevent Cheng Guang from inheriting the title of Duke because of this matter. It's none of their business.
After all, the relationship between the imperial court and Jianghu sects cannot be said to be very good.
There has always been a clear distinction between imperial officials and Jianghu sects.
Nowadays, the marriage between the Zhenguo Duke's Palace and their Taihao Sword Sect can be said to have set a precedent to a certain extent.
When Cheng Zhihai heard this, he smiled and said, "Elder Ning doesn't have to worry about this."
Cheng Zhihai didn't know that it would be a risk to choose to marry the contemporary goddess of Taihao Sword Sect instead of the legitimate daughter of many ministers from aristocratic families in the imperial court.
However, he had his reasons for doing so.
The greater the power of the Zhenguo Government, the more he could feel the pressure from the emperor.
Although he has an excellent relationship with the emperor.
In fact, the relationship between the entire town and the emperor was very good.
However, there is no telling what will happen in the future.
At present, even if he has a very good relationship with the Emperor of Zhou, the Emperor of Zhou will casually find a reason and want to reduce the power of Zhenguo Gongfu.If the relationship deteriorates in the future, or something else happens, the Zhenguo Palace will most likely be completely wiped out.
Now that Lord Zhen is here, everything is easy to talk about.
But once the heavenly being Zhen Guo Gong disappears, the future life and death of Zhen Guo Gong's mansion will be decided by the Emperor of Zhou.
Cheng Zhihai knew that he had to prepare for a rainy day. Marrying into a poor family now was also a step to test, so that he might be able to find stability when he had to leave the court in the future.
The lamp-bearing division under Cheng Zhihai had wiped out countless Jianghu sects. The Jianghu sects in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty hated the Zhenguo government and the lamp-bearing division to the core.
But this Taihao Sword Sect is different. It is one of the four major sword sects in the world. Different from spiritual and martial arts, it follows the path of sword cultivation. It has been secluded from the world for a long time, basically not participating in worldly disputes, and rarely showing up.
The position of Taihao Sword Sect does not belong to the Great Zhou Dynasty. It can even be said that it does not belong to any other dynasty and is independent.
The Taihao Sword Sect does not have the name of a dynasty, otherwise it would have become a country within a country.
By marrying into the Taihao Sword Sect, Cheng Zhihai found a back-up for his family's government.
Elder Ning nodded and said, "In that case, I won't talk too much about that old woman. Just let the prince come to our Sword Sect to pick you up tomorrow."
Having said this, she stood up and was about to leave.
In the distant palace, a light suddenly flickered, and then, the sound of a mighty bell sounded from deep within the imperial city.
Hearing this voice, Cheng Zhihai's expression changed slightly, he stood up and looked towards the palace.
"This is His Majesty's call to convene the officials for a meeting. Why did it suddenly sound at this time? Could it be that something big happened?"
Cheng Zhihai murmured to himself, first looked at Wu Yuemei, and said: "Yuemei, I heard my servant came to report that Guang'er has come back. You go and see him, and then rest early. I'll go to the palace to see."
After saying that, Cheng Zhihai said "Excuse me" to Elder Ning again, stepped on his strength, stood up and rushed towards the palace.
After Cheng Zhihai left, Elder Ning, who had planned to get up and leave, did not stay in the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion for long. Instead, he got up and walked out of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion with the other elders and disciples of Taihao Sword Sect who were accompanying him.
After some distance away from the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, Elder Ning leaned on crutches and looked into the distance, frowning slightly.
"What happened? The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty urgently summoned all officials to discuss matters at this hour."
Elder Ning murmured to himself.
Behind her, a female disciple came out. She was wearing a white skirt and a white gauze face. She looked like she was only 20 years old, but she was graceful. Her cuffs were embroidered with light blue lotus flowers, and her long hair was covered with silver threads. A few clouds are outlined on the skirt.
This woman has a willow-slender waist, and is covered by a silky robe, but many bulges are still clearly visible.
"Mother-in-law, why do you want me to marry the Duke of this town?"
The woman held Elder Ning's arm and spoke angrily.
At first glance, she seems to have a temperament that is as cold as a high place, but as soon as she opens her mouth, she is full of tenderness and anger, and her tone is soft, which makes people feel that their body bones are a little soft.
Elder Ning looked at the woman behind him, shook his head with a smile, and patted her forehead gently, "Qianxue, the Duke of Zhen Guo is the most powerful person in Zhou Dynasty. Duke Zhen Guo Cheng Shiyuan's cultivation strength is better than that of your mother-in-law and me. Not even a little weaker."
"I don't know what the world will be like in the future. We can't reach the royal family in the world. If we can make friends with the Duke of Zhenguo, we can't miss it."
"Besides, it is said that the prince of Zhenguo is not bad, and his appearance is unparalleled. You didn't see him just now, but if you see him in the future, you will know."
"We don't suffer."
After hearing Elder Ning's words, Ning Qianxue sighed, her red lips slightly pursed, "Anyway, mother-in-law, you are in charge of everything, so I won't say anything else."
"If that prince is not good-looking, or if he bullies me, I will beat him. Mother-in-law, please help me in the future."
Elder Ning laughed and said, "Okay, okay, mother-in-law, of course I want to help you."
As he said that, Elder Ning gently held Ning Qianxue's hand and said, "Let's go, wait until the Duke of Zhenguo comes to marry you tomorrow."
"It's not a very long journey from Zhen Guogong's Mansion to our Taihao Sword Sect. Maybe the prince will arrive as soon as we arrive."
Ning Qianxue's face was slightly bitter when she heard this, "Mother-in-law, if Qianxue tells me, it's better to stay here at the Duke's Mansion and not leave. I have to come back anyway."
Elder Ning said helplessly: "We cannot do without this bit of etiquette, otherwise if outsiders see it, they will think that our Taihao Sword Sect is eager to marry you as soon as possible."
With that said, Elder Ning pulled Ning Qianxue away.
When he reached the gate of Kyoto, Elder Ning turned his head and glanced at the location of the imperial palace. There was still a faint glow in the sky above the palace.
I don’t know what big thing happened.
Let's wait until we return to Taihao Sword Sect and find someone to ask.
Elder Ning was thinking in his mind.
…………
at this time.
Dazhou Imperial Palace, inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty sat on the dragon chair, scanning the officials with majestic eyes, tapping the back of the chair with his fingertips, quietly waiting for the officials to arrive.
After all the officials have almost arrived.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty slowly spoke: "Not long ago, the Imperial Palace of the World received news that remnants of the Great Chu have appeared in Great Yan. You all know about this, right?"
After Emperor Zhou finished speaking, all the officials couldn't help but be stunned and looked at each other a few times, wondering why Emperor Zhou suddenly mentioned this matter.
Could it be that something happened to the remnant of Da Chu?
Not caught?
After the Emperor Zhou finished speaking, he glanced at the officials several times, and finally looked at Cheng Zhihai.
After pausing for a moment on Cheng Zhihai, Emperor Zhou slowly looked away.
He didn't wait for any response from the officials and said, "The remnant of Chu showed up a few days ago."
"It's just that the remnant of Dachu is very powerful, and there seems to be a powerful person behind her who is as powerful as the sky."
"All the people who went to encircle and suppress the remnants of Da Chu were wiped out by that strong man with one palm."
"So, I just learned the news now."
The Emperor Zhou's voice fell, and all the officials were suddenly startled.
All the people who went to encircle and suppress the remnants of Da Chu were wiped out?
If they remember correctly, Da Zhou also sent people to investigate the remnants of Da Chu, right?
In addition, it seems that the crown prince of Zhenguo went there?
Judging from the meaning of Emperor Zhou's words, doesn't it mean that the prince Zhenguo had an accident? ?
The meaning of the Zhou emperor's words was that he was aware that Cheng Guang, the prince of Zhenguo, might have an accident, so he convened an emergency meeting. These officials were probably just vassals, mainly to allow Cheng Zhihai to come.
In order to prevent Cheng Guang, the prince of Zhenguo, from doing anything irrational if he was really killed by the remnant of Chu.
When Cheng Zhihai heard what Emperor Zhou said, he was shocked at first and instinctively clenched his fists, but then he thought about it.
its not right.
My own Guang'er just got home today and everything is fine.
Thinking about it, Guang'er's return came suddenly, and the flying boat had its own concealment effect. Unless a strong person in the Heavenly Realm was careful to observe, no one would notice that Guang'er had returned to the Zhenguo Palace.
When he thought of this, Cheng Zhihai felt a burst of joy and quickly said: "Your Majesty, I am not doing my job well. Later I will immediately send people to continue to investigate the remnant of the Chu and the strong man behind her."
Cheng Zhihai finished speaking.
All the officials were shocked.
They did not expect that Cheng Zhihai could be so calm now that something might happen to the prince.
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty was obviously stunned.
He summoned hundreds of officials this time for two main purposes.
One is to appease Cheng Zhihai.
If Cheng Guang, the eldest son of Duke Zhen, had an accident, Cheng Zhihai would go crazy, and so would Duke Zhen Guo.
The Zhou Dynasty could not withstand the turmoil caused by these two men.
The second is to let all officials discuss whether they should continue to deal with the remnant of Chu.
The remnants of the Great Chu are extremely powerful, and there are strong men in the realm of celestial beings behind them. If they continue to target the remnants of the Great Chu, the Great Zhou Dynasty must also send celestial beings to take action.
Nowadays, in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, there are very few powerful people in the Heavenly and Human Realm who can use them, so the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty had to be cautious.
Facing Cheng Zhihai's words, Emperor Zhou pondered for a moment, then raised his hand slightly and said, "Zhihai, that kid Guang'er is now..."
Cheng Zhihai knew what Emperor Zhou wanted to say, so he quickly took over the conversation and responded: "Your Majesty, my son is already at home at this time."
"I just got home at noon today. Everything is fine."
Emperor Zhou was stunned again when he heard Cheng Zhihai's words.
Just got home today?
Coming back so early?
wrong.
Why could Cheng Guang, the prince of Zhenguo, come back?
Didn't he participate in the operation to encircle and suppress the remnants of Da Chu?
Emperor Zhou couldn't help but have a lot of doubts in his heart, and his majestic face was full of confusion. He wanted to ask something, but when the words came to his mouth, nothing came out.
It's good that nothing happens to Cheng Guang, the prince of the country.
Although Emperor Zhou didn't know why Cheng Guang returned to Kyoto so early, he was still relieved.
"It's fine if nothing happens."
Emperor Zhou nodded slightly and relaxed his brows. Knowing that Cheng Guang was fine at this time, he could also understand why Cheng Zhihai acted so calmly.
Compared with Cheng Zhihai, he seemed a bit unstable.
After the Emperor of Zhou took a deep breath, he held his chin with one hand, looked at the officials sitting down, and asked: "Next, what should be done with the remnants of Da Chu?"
After the Emperor Zhou finished speaking, all the officials started talking about it.
For a while, no one took the initiative to respond.
Until the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty was about to become impatient.
Zhang Jingxing, Minister of the Ministry of War, stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, the strength of the remnants of Da Chu is extraordinary, and there are heavenly beings behind them. If you want to continue to attack the remnants of Da Chu, I'm afraid it will be too much."
"We might as well see what other dynasties are doing. If they want to take action against the remnant of Da Chu, we can also observe the strength of the remnant of Da Chu and the heavenly being behind her."
"If we wait until other dynasties have tested the strength of the remnants of Dachu and the heavenly beings behind her, we will have a better chance of winning if we take action."
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty nodded slightly when he heard what Zhang Jingxing said. Although he now regarded the remnants of Da Chu as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, he did not insist on eradicating them immediately.
There's no rush yet.
The Emperor of Zhou waved his hand and asked Zhao Jin, who was beside him, to retreat from the officials, get up and walk towards the back hall.
When we arrived at the palace, the maids and eunuchs had already burned incense and made the bed.
"Your Majesty, which concubine's brand do you need to turn over today?"
Zhao Jin stepped forward to ask at the right time.
Emperor Zhou waved his hand, sat on the coffee table beside him, and said, "We'll talk about this later. Come, play chess with me."
Zhao Jin nodded and carefully sat down in front of Emperor Zhou.
Looking at the cold and majestic face of Emperor Zhou, he hesitated for a moment, and then asked:
"Your Majesty, what is on your mind?"
Emperor Zhou was stunned when he heard this, then smiled, and was about to shake his head immediately, but thought of something, his body was slightly startled, he smiled, and then said:
"Zhao Jin, let me ask you, why did you say that when Duke Zhen Guo invaded Da Chu, he killed everyone in the palace of Da Chu?"
Zhao Jin quickly and carefully placed his position. When he heard the Emperor of Zhou talking about the demise of Chu, he felt extremely stressed and his forehead was instantly covered with beads of sweat.
"Well, Your Majesty, what Duke Zhen Guo did back then was of course to eliminate any future troubles and eliminate the root causes. This is a truth that everyone in the world knows."
The Emperor of Zhou smiled and said nothing, and continued to make moves. After several rounds of back and forth, he said: "But I didn't let him do this back then."
"People from other dynasties should also keep an eye on Da Chu. After all, everyone in the world knows about the prophecy of the Golden List. In addition to completely destroying Da Chu, the royal families in the world also have some thoughts and want to explore Why does the Golden List predict so much?"
"If Duke Zhen Guo had not killed all the royal family of Da Chu back then, why would the royal families in the world still have to fight over a remnant of Da Chu?"
Zhao Jin didn't understand at this time. Big beads of sweat on his forehead were streaming down his face, and his fingers couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Dare not make a sound.
After another move.
Emperor Zhou's tone was slightly hoarse, and he murmured: "The Duke of Zhenguo violated my order and did this. He must have his own reasons."
"Zhao Jin, I don't know if you have ever met the Emperor and Queen of Da Chu back then."
Zhao Jin raised his hand, gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the Great Chu was the most powerful dynasty in the world at that time. Not many people in the world have seen their faces with their own eyes. Great Chu There are still portraits of the emperor that have been circulated, but there is not even a single portrait of the Queen of Chu."
The Emperor of Zhou smiled and said: "Yes, at my current state, I could only see the Emperor of Chu from a distance. How could you see them both in person?"
Having said this, Emperor Zhou's smile faded slightly, and he made a move again with a deep tone.
"Logically speaking, no one except a few emperors of Da Chu has seen the appearance of the Queen of Da Chu, and it is impossible for the emperors of the four major dynasties to have seen her."
"The Duke of Zhen Guo thinks so too."
"However, everything has exceptions. He did not expect that when I was still a prince, I met a woman while traveling."
"When I first met her, I thought she was a goddess, and she looked like an immortal. For so many years, I have been looking for her whereabouts. I only learned the news recently. You know..."
Emperor Zhou's tone was slightly stagnant, and he looked at Zhao Jin, "Do you know where I met that woman?"
Zhao Jin's scalp was numb at this time. Looking at Emperor Zhou, he didn't know the meaning of Emperor Zhou's words for a while.
Hastily lowered his head.
"The servant does not know..."
The Emperor of Dazhou sighed, shook his head and said with a smile: "That location turned out to be the place where the Emperor of Dachu and the Empress of Dachu had a private meeting."
"For so many years, I have been thinking about the person I have been thinking about. I once thought that I was hallucinating, and the character in the hallucination turned out to be the Queen of Chu."
"What surprises me even more is that the son of Duke Zhenguo, Guang'er, and her..."
"It's so similar."
"Do you think this is strange?"
When the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty said this, he raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin looked embarrassed, dropped his hand feebly, and said, "Your Majesty, I have lost."
"This...servant doesn't know how to answer..."
Emperor Zhou put down the chess piece casually, stood up and walked to the window. He looked at the bright moon outside the palace through the lace of the window frame and said: "The prince Zhenguo looks so similar to her back then. This can't be a coincidence."
"So there are two possibilities."
"Either the Duke of Zhen secretly rescued the Dachu Crown Prince and her heir, raised her alone, and wanted to reveal the secret of the Golden List prophecy alone."
"Either the Crown Prince is the child of Yuemei, but I don't know what the Duke did back then, which caused the appearance of Yuemei's child to change like this."
"So similar to him."
Zhao Jin on the side lowered his head and did not dare to answer.
The Emperor of Dazhou said alone: "After learning this news, I was uneasy and couldn't sleep. Today, I feel more and more that Zhen Guogong's family is really uneasy in Dazhou."
"Once the prince of Duke Zhen Guo dies, both Duke Zhen Guo and Cheng Zhihai will go crazy."
"There must be a reason why Duke Zhen Guo's eldest son looks so much like her. I don't intend to delve into it. I can confirm what Duke Zhen Guo did without telling me back then."
"I asked Cheng Zhihai to come here today because I wanted to see how Cheng Zhihai would react if Cheng Guang, the prince of Zhenguo, really died. But I never thought that he was not dead."
"If there was not only one remnant of the Great Chu who survived back then, his survival would be explained."
"Just be crazy. There is no one in this world who is not crazy."
Emperor Zhou sighed, looked at Zhao Jin, his majestic and cold face remained unchanged, and slowly said:
"As far as I know, Cheng Zhihai has recently been in contact with the Taihao Sword Sect with the intention of getting married. You can wipe it out while my nephew is on his way to welcome his bride."
"Finally, bring the body back to me."
"I have to find out the reason after all."
When Zhao Jin heard this, his heart tightened, "Your Majesty, is this really what you want?"
"The Duke of Zhenguo..."
Emperor Zhou waved his hand and said: "You don't need to worry about this matter. When you do it, leave less traces. Otherwise, you will have to accompany Guang'er."
A chill ran down Zhao Jin's spine, and he broke into a cold sweat, and he quickly responded.
Then he said "Excuse me" and left slowly.
After Zhao Jin left.
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty looked at the bright moon outside the palace, his mind filled with thoughts. After watching for a while, he felt that he seemed to have forgotten something.
The majestic and cold face slightly condensed.
No, I haven’t turned over the sign today.
Looking out of the palace with a melancholy look, he couldn't help but want to say something in his heart.
Zhao Jin, come back to me.

(End of this chapter)
Since Dayan left, Cheng Guang drove the flying boat to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Cheng Guang stood in front of the deck of the flying boat and found that the sky in the evening seemed clearer. It was not dark, but a clear blue.
The mountains outside Tianhuo City were covered with a thin layer of light under the reflection of the setting sun. Cheng Guang looked at the light and returned to the bedroom on the flying boat.
Regarding Princess Ning Wang, it can also be said that Cheng Guang is more fascinated by Jiang Luojing.
He found that the yellow flower in his storage ring suddenly disappeared, and Jiang Luojing said that the yellow flower he gave her was quite good.
Cheng Guang knew that one day in the future, he would give Jiang Luojing a once-over.
Even if he doesn't know what will happen in the next day, he can probably guess that it must be related to Jiang Luojing's identity and himself.
This time Jiang Luojing continues to stay in Dayan Kyoto, but she doesn't know what her purpose is, and she doesn't know if her identity will be exposed.
Cheng Guang didn't care about this.
His task has been completed.
Cheng Guang glanced at the faint light emanating from the mountains outside the flying boat, then turned back to the flying boat room.
"Receive award."
After entering the bedroom, Cheng Guang closed the door and windows and spoke to the system in his heart.
As soon as he finished speaking, golden rays of light began to bloom in front of Cheng Guang's eyes.
Those golden lights were like flowing water, slowly flowing out from the void, converging in front of Cheng Guang's eyes, and gradually condensing into a square stone like a tombstone, with complex and ancient characters written on it. Even if you look carefully, you will see that Even though the words on it were as small as a mosquito, I couldn't tell what they meant.
Cheng Guang just glanced at it, without looking too much at it, and reached out with one hand.
The moment his fingers touched the princess's tomb, the princess's tomb instantly solidified and fell heavily into Cheng Guang's hands.
The Princess Tomb is not big and can be held in one hand. It feels cool in the palm of your hand. If you hold it in your arms on a hot summer day, it can be used as a portable air conditioner.
At the same time that Cheng Guang came into contact with Princess Tomb, a piece of information also poured into his mind.
[Princess's Tomb: The Princess's Tomb, born towards death, reversing the world, turning yin and yang in reverse, covering up the secrets of heaven. This seems to be the tombstone of an ancient figure, waiting for reset. 】
Cheng Guang looked at the Princess Tomb in his hand and was a little confused by the information conveyed by the Princess Tomb.
The princess's tombstone, the tombstone of an ancient figure, waiting to be reset?
Which princess is it?
Cheng Guang was confused and felt that the princess tomb he had just obtained was of little use.
First, he did not know the specific location of Princess Tomb. Even if he obtained the tombstone of Princess Tomb, he had no way to reset it.
Secondly, even if he got the specific location of the princess's tomb, he could reset the princess's tombstone.
However, looking at the introduction of the Princess Tomb, it seems that there will be some changes after the Princess Tomb is restored. There are words like "living toward death" in the introduction.
It should be possible to awaken that ancient figure.
Cheng Guang still didn't know whether the ancient figure buried under the princess' tomb was evil, so he rashly awakened it, but he had no way to control the consequences.
Let's wait until he becomes stronger later to make plans.
At present, this Princess Tomb is something he cannot touch for the time being.
Cheng Guang put the princess' tomb away and looked out the window at the night, knowing that it was almost time for the system to issue another mission.
He did not leave the room, and after asking Qingluan and others not to disturb him, he sat cross-legged in the bedroom and practiced for a while.
When the time approached, Cheng Guang opened his eyes.
At the right time, the system's cold voice, without any emotion, sounded in his ears.
[On September 34, the 80th year of Zhengsheng, you became the No. [-] Heavenly Realm. You found the remnants of the Great Chu who were besieged and killed in Tianhuo City. 】
[She really has not died from the beginning. You find that the identity of this remnant of the Great Chu seems to be not simple. It seems to be a certain empress in ancient times. You think of the Xi Liang women who were established somewhere when the world was in chaos. The country seems to be the work of this remnant of Chu. 】
[This newly established Xiliang Women’s Kingdom seems to have a great relationship with the identity of this remnant of the Great Chu in ancient times. In ancient times, there seemed to be a Xiliang Women’s Kingdom. Thinking of this, you suddenly understood that this This remnant of the Chu Dynasty may be the reincarnation of the Queen of Xiliang in ancient times. 】
[She re-established the Xiliang Women's Kingdom when the world was in chaos, but for unknown reasons, not long after, she dismissed all the newly established Xiliang Women's Kingdom. 】
[You are confused, and at the same time recalling the chaos in the world, you can't help but feel a little disappointed for a moment. 】
[The decline of the Zhenguo Palace was not only caused by the remnants of the Chu Dynasty and the demon clan who were behind the rebellion, but also due to the great chaos in the world, which caused the Zhenguo Palace to lose the Dengshi and the Northern Expeditionary Army. In the chaos that spread throughout the world, he had little value and role. He was abandoned by the Zhou royal family and his status plummeted. 】
[And the source of that disaster was the sudden appearance of a secret realm in the Great Zhou Dynasty. When the secret realm appeared, it attracted strong men from all over the world to gather, but all the strong men who entered the secret realm were missing in the end. 】
[Most of the top celestial beings in the major dynasties have been lost. The balance of the world's forces has just been maintained for less than a hundred years, and it was broken in an instant. There are endless disputes between dynasties and between the Jianghu forces. 】
[When you recall the scenes of that year, you can’t help but lament in your heart. If you had seized that opportunity and been promoted to heaven when the world was in chaos, you might not be missing among the many powers in the world now. a place. 】
[But it’s hard to look back on the past, so you just thought about it for a moment. The most important thing for you now is to see if you can find the secret place from back then. 】
[Shortly after the secret realm was born, countless strong people went to explore it and quickly figured out a set of rules. For example, as long as you don’t take the initiative to break the wine vat, the monkey demon in the secret realm will not take the initiative to hurt you. As long as you just enter In the secret realm, smear three-flowered grass on your body, and those weird bugs will not be able to get close to you. As long as you do these two steps, you can not only swim in the secret realm, but also get out without any injuries. 】
[You are confident that if the secret realm that caused chaos in the world can reappear, with your current cultivation as a human, you will definitely be able to gain a lot of benefits from it. 】
[Four-star mission: Explore Wudao Mountain again. 】
[Task reward: Tianhua Dao Pill. 】
The system's cold and emotionless voice fell from Cheng Guang's ears.
After listening to the newly released tasks from the system, Cheng Guang narrowed his eyes and was shocked.
In the original future world, the four major dynasties no longer existed, or in other words, even if they existed, they were already fragmented. There was no longer the current situation where the four major dynasties were checking and balancing, and other small dynasties were dependent on the four major dynasties.
In the future, the power structure of the world will be destroyed and the source of the world's chaos will turn out to be just a secret realm.
What kind of secret realm is it that can attract the attention of the world's powerful people?
It can even make all the top celestial beings in the world disappear, so that the top combat power in the world is cut off.
This kind of secret realm must be no small matter.
If it happens again, even he will not be able to stop the general trend of the world in the future. As long as the secret realm appears again, the world is likely to be in chaos again.
Even without King Nanming, the current status of Da Zhou would probably not be maintained.
Cheng Guang couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue when he thought of this.
Cheng Guang thought deeply for a moment, and then his eyes fell on the four words "Xiliang Women's Kingdom" in the system task prompt.
Seeing the four words "Xiliang Women's Kingdom", Cheng Guang's eyes couldn't help but shrink.
He is too familiar with the existence of the Xiliang Women's Kingdom.
Reminiscent of the Taoist boy in red he met in the secret realm last time, as well as the Tushita Palace, the Western Liang Women's Kingdom seemed to exist in his memory.
Apart from the Xiliang Women's Kingdom, what shocked him even more was that Jiang Luojing was most likely the reincarnation of the queen of the Xiliang Women's Kingdom.
From this point of view, Jiang Luojing's background is not small.
They are all characters from ancient times.
But, why have all these figures from ancient times disappeared?
Even those places and some palaces in ancient times were broken into pieces and turned into secret realms that were separated from the world. They would only reappear in the world under extremely special and rare circumstances.
Cheng Guang frowned slightly.
The sudden disappearance of these characters, and the special bloodline of the royal family in the world...
There are too many unknowns in this world.
With all kinds of doubts, he couldn't help but wonder whether the appearance of the royal family in the world had something to do with these ancient existences.
Who did he inherit the bloodline of the ancient Great Xia God Emperor from?
Who is this God Emperor of Great Xia?
The more Cheng Guang thought about it, the more headache he got. He rubbed his brow slightly tiredly. He couldn't figure it out for a while, so he stopped thinking about it. The things he was exposed to now were all beyond his scope of cognition.
Not to mention him, even some of the royal families in the world, as well as many old antiques who did not know they had lived for hundreds of years, may not know some secrets of ancient times at this time.
Cheng Guang pondered for a moment and turned his attention to the system's mission reward.
Tianhua Tao Pill.
Just from the name, you can tell that it is a pill.
But the specific effect is unknown.
We can only wait until the system task is completed before looking at it.
Cheng Guang calmed down his mind and continued to practice.
…………
Time flies by.
Cheng Guangfeizhou took advantage of the sunlight and returned to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.
Today's Zhenguo Palace is very different from usual.
Normally, there were only two guards in front of the door, but today there were two more.
These two guards were clearly not the guards of the Zhenguo Palace. Although they were wearing casual clothes, they had an aura that ordinary people could not possess.
"These are the guards of a wealthy family, and they have good martial arts skills."
Cheng Guang knew that these guards had a good background and they should have guests visiting.
Cheng Guang glanced at the extra new guards and didn't pay much attention to them. The flying boat hovered over Zhenguo's mansion and went straight off the flying boat.
Qian Siyuan and Li Zhengyang followed Cheng Guang off the flying boat and landed next to Cheng Guang.
Qian Siyuan frowned slightly at this time, and there was still a little worry between his brows.
"Your Majesty, we did not complete the mission His Majesty ordered this time, so we came back directly. If His Majesty blames you later, it will be difficult for us to explain."
Cheng Guang seemed much more relaxed than Qian Siyuan. He smiled and said to Qian Siyuan: "Uncle Qian, this is how things will go this time. Either no one can find the remnant of Chu, or after he finds it, he will deal with it too." No."
"If His Majesty asks about it later, just ask him to find me."
Cheng Guang comforted Qian Siyuan and led Qingluan and Qin Yanqiu to the door of the house.
Qin Beifeng stood outside the door, hesitated for a moment, then kept a close distance from Cheng Guang, and followed Cheng Guang.
Qian Siyuan and Li Zhengyang looked at Cheng Guang's leaving figure and glanced at each other, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.
Li Zhengyang scratched his head and said: "The Crown Prince has given this order, so we don't need to think too much about it. Just do this."
Qian Siyuan nodded in agreement.
With the lantern holder, everyone turned and left.
When Cheng Guang approached the gate of the mansion, the old guards naturally did not need to say anything and immediately greeted him respectfully.
When the two new guards saw Cheng Guang, their eyes were slightly startled, and then they seemed to recognize Cheng Guang and opened the way for Cheng Guang.
Cheng Guang returned to Wanxiang Garden, and Qingluan packed the luggage he had left with him, brought hot water and asked him to wash his hands.
Cheng Guang then smiled and said: "There is no need to work too much. You have worked hard all the way. You and Qin Yanqiu should take some rest."
Qingluan shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I am not tired. You should worry about yourself and Miss Qin..."
Qin Yanqiu sat at the stone table nearby, looking slightly bored and holding his chin, as if in a daze, with a little fatigue showing in his cold beautiful eyes.
Cheng Guang couldn't help but laugh when he saw Qin Yanqiu's appearance.
Along the way, I didn't do much serious work, and most of my time was spent traveling back and forth.
The ride on the flying boat was boring, there was nothing interesting to do, so I had to have fun by myself.
It can only be said that Qin Yanqiu suffered a lot along the way.
Cheng Guang himself was not feeling very well.
Thinking of this, Cheng Guang secretly stroked his waist, grinned and said, "Qingluan, make more food at night. You may be tired these past few days and your condition is not good."
Qingluan nodded ignorantly and agreed.
Qin Yanqiu's cold face didn't change much after hearing Cheng Guang's sophistry. She didn't care about it. She secretly caressed her belly and thought about when she could get pregnant.
Calculating the time, if you wait until you are pregnant and the child is born, you don’t know how long it will take.
If she does not go to the battlefield for a long time, her cultivation level will be fine and will not decline, but her martial arts will most likely be in ruins.
If you haven't fought with the enemy for a long time, your skills will inevitably become unfamiliar.
Qin Yanqiu secretly shook his jade hand, looked at his palm, and was in a daze for a moment.
After a while, Qingluan brought several prepared dishes to the table. In addition to a few dishes, there were also many snacks.
While eating, Qingluan thought of something again and said as if: "Your Majesty, there seems to be an important guest coming to the mansion today. Let's go back to the mansion. It is impossible for the master and his wife to not notice such a big movement."
"I think it was because the important guest came and was disturbed, so he didn't have time to come to us for a while."
"After dinner, Prince, would you like to go over and take a look?"
Cheng Guang said casually: "Let's talk later. They may be discussing something. If they want me to go over to meet guests, I think they will inform me later."
Cheng Guang guessed that the guests who came to the mansion this time were probably of high status. If not, there would be no need for Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei to entertain them warmly.
Even when he returned home, he didn't even bother to see him, and he didn't know why.
Cheng Guang was thinking about it, and suddenly thought that when he left Kyoto and went to Tianhuo City, the capital of the Great Yan Emperor, Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei had said that they would find another marriage for him.
Isn't it because of this?
Cheng Guang had a headache.
As far as he is concerned, he really has no shortage of women right now.
Wu Yuemei and Cheng Zhihai were worried about his marriage because he was not married yet and he was already in his 20s. Even in this world where he could practice cultivation, he was considered an older man.
Cheng Guang sighed. If Qin Beifeng hadn't caused such a drama, his wife would now be Qin Yanqiu. That would be great, so why bother with such a drama again.
Now if Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei really find another marriage for him, he really can't refuse.
Thinking of this, Cheng Guang's eyes fell on Qin Beifeng who was standing aside, his eyes were rather sad.
Qin Beifeng noticed Cheng Guang's gaze, his face was slightly startled, and he couldn't help but lower his head.
Ever since Qin Beifeng knew Cheng Guang's identity, most likely the prince of Dachu, his attitude towards Cheng Guang was not much different from before, but his starting point was a little different.
The respectful mood is obviously a bit more.
same time.
Qin Beifeng was also more careful.
At present, in the entire Duke Zhen's mansion, apart from the prince himself, he is the only one who knows Cheng Guang's identity.
He had to be prepared just in case. If Cheng Guang's identity was exposed, how should he escape with Cheng Guang.
Cheng Guang did not keep his eyes on Qin Beifeng for too long. He just glanced at Qin Beifeng and then looked away.
By this time it was dark.
The ever-burning lanterns hanging in the courtyard provide bright yellow light, adding a bit of warmth to the slightly cold night.
After eating, Cheng Guang took out a few deck chairs from the courtyard and lay down together with Qin Yanqiu. Qingluan stood behind him to serve, looking at the sky.
The dark sky is dotted with shining stars. In the night sky near summer, as long as there are no clouds, you can always see the stars.
These stars are like fine flows, spreading out a bright star river, flowing diagonally towards the starry sky.
It's quite beautiful.
…………
At this time, many people were already sitting in the huge reception hall of the Zhenguo Palace.
"Elder Ning, then this is how our matter is settled?"
Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei sat at the top with smiles on their faces.
This time it was Cheng Zhihai who spoke in a rather relaxed tone.
Under Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei, a luxuriously dressed old woman nodded slightly.
"It is my great fortune, Taihao Sword Sect, to be able to marry into the Duke of Zhenguo."
Cheng Zhihai smiled and said, "In that case, the wedding will be held soon."
The old woman named Cheng Zhihai and Elder Ning nodded, then raised her eyes and looked at Cheng Zhihai and said: "Master Cheng, it is great that our Taihao Sword Sect can marry the Duke of Zhenguo. However, the children we give birth to will inevitably have a bad future." I still want to inherit the position of the leader of Taihao Sword Sect, and I’d better say this in advance.”
"If the imperial court has problems with your succession to the Duke's position because of this matter, I won't care about it, old woman."
The meaning of Elder Ning's words is that it is obvious that after marrying their Taihao Sword Sect, the children born in the future will definitely inherit the position of the leader of the Taihao Sword Sect. In the future, the court will prevent Cheng Guang from inheriting the title of Duke because of this matter. It's none of their business.
After all, the relationship between the imperial court and Jianghu sects cannot be said to be very good.
There has always been a clear distinction between imperial officials and Jianghu sects.
Nowadays, the marriage between the Zhenguo Duke's Palace and their Taihao Sword Sect can be said to have set a precedent to a certain extent.
When Cheng Zhihai heard this, he smiled and said, "Elder Ning doesn't have to worry about this."
Cheng Zhihai didn't know that it would be a risk to choose to marry the contemporary goddess of Taihao Sword Sect instead of the legitimate daughter of many ministers from aristocratic families in the imperial court.
However, he had his reasons for doing so.
The greater the power of the Zhenguo Government, the more he could feel the pressure from the emperor.
Although he has an excellent relationship with the emperor.
In fact, the relationship between the entire town and the emperor was very good.
However, there is no telling what will happen in the future.
At present, even if he has a very good relationship with the Emperor of Zhou, the Emperor of Zhou will casually find a reason and want to reduce the power of Zhenguo Gongfu.If the relationship deteriorates in the future, or something else happens, the Zhenguo Palace will most likely be completely wiped out.
Now that Lord Zhen is here, everything is easy to talk about.
But once the heavenly being Zhen Guo Gong disappears, the future life and death of Zhen Guo Gong's mansion will be decided by the Emperor of Zhou.
Cheng Zhihai knew that he had to prepare for a rainy day. Marrying into a poor family now was also a step to test, so that he might be able to find stability when he had to leave the court in the future.
The lamp-bearing division under Cheng Zhihai had wiped out countless Jianghu sects. The Jianghu sects in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty hated the Zhenguo government and the lamp-bearing division to the core.
But this Taihao Sword Sect is different. It is one of the four major sword sects in the world. Different from spiritual and martial arts, it follows the path of sword cultivation. It has been secluded from the world for a long time, basically not participating in worldly disputes, and rarely showing up.
The position of Taihao Sword Sect does not belong to the Great Zhou Dynasty. It can even be said that it does not belong to any other dynasty and is independent.
The Taihao Sword Sect does not have the name of a dynasty, otherwise it would have become a country within a country.
By marrying into the Taihao Sword Sect, Cheng Zhihai found a back-up for his family's government.
Elder Ning nodded and said, "In that case, I won't talk too much about that old woman. Just let the prince come to our Sword Sect to pick you up tomorrow."
Having said this, she stood up and was about to leave.
In the distant palace, a light suddenly flickered, and then, the sound of a mighty bell sounded from deep within the imperial city.
Hearing this voice, Cheng Zhihai's expression changed slightly, he stood up and looked towards the palace.
"This is His Majesty's call to convene the officials for a meeting. Why did it suddenly sound at this time? Could it be that something big happened?"
Cheng Zhihai murmured to himself, first looked at Wu Yuemei, and said: "Yuemei, I heard my servant came to report that Guang'er has come back. You go and see him, and then rest early. I'll go to the palace to see."
After saying that, Cheng Zhihai said "Excuse me" to Elder Ning again, stepped on his strength, stood up and rushed towards the palace.
After Cheng Zhihai left, Elder Ning, who had planned to get up and leave, did not stay in the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion for long. Instead, he got up and walked out of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion with the other elders and disciples of Taihao Sword Sect who were accompanying him.
After some distance away from the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, Elder Ning leaned on crutches and looked into the distance, frowning slightly.
"What happened? The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty urgently summoned all officials to discuss matters at this hour."
Elder Ning murmured to himself.
Behind her, a female disciple came out. She was wearing a white skirt and a white gauze face. She looked like she was only 20 years old, but she was graceful. Her cuffs were embroidered with light blue lotus flowers, and her long hair was covered with silver threads. A few clouds are outlined on the skirt.
This woman has a willow-slender waist, and is covered by a silky robe, but many bulges are still clearly visible.
"Mother-in-law, why do you want me to marry the Duke of this town?"
The woman held Elder Ning's arm and spoke angrily.
At first glance, she seems to have a temperament that is as cold as a high place, but as soon as she opens her mouth, she is full of tenderness and anger, and her tone is soft, which makes people feel that their body bones are a little soft.
Elder Ning looked at the woman behind him, shook his head with a smile, and patted her forehead gently, "Qianxue, the Duke of Zhen Guo is the most powerful person in Zhou Dynasty. Duke Zhen Guo Cheng Shiyuan's cultivation strength is better than that of your mother-in-law and me. Not even a little weaker."
"I don't know what the world will be like in the future. We can't reach the royal family in the world. If we can make friends with the Duke of Zhenguo, we can't miss it."
"Besides, it is said that the prince of Zhenguo is not bad, and his appearance is unparalleled. You didn't see him just now, but if you see him in the future, you will know."
"We don't suffer."
After hearing Elder Ning's words, Ning Qianxue sighed, her red lips slightly pursed, "Anyway, mother-in-law, you are in charge of everything, so I won't say anything else."
"If that prince is not good-looking, or if he bullies me, I will beat him. Mother-in-law, please help me in the future."
Elder Ning laughed and said, "Okay, okay, mother-in-law, of course I want to help you."
As he said that, Elder Ning gently held Ning Qianxue's hand and said, "Let's go, wait until the Duke of Zhenguo comes to marry you tomorrow."
"It's not a very long journey from Zhen Guogong's Mansion to our Taihao Sword Sect. Maybe the prince will arrive as soon as we arrive."
Ning Qianxue's face was slightly bitter when she heard this, "Mother-in-law, if Qianxue tells me, it's better to stay here at the Duke's Mansion and not leave. I have to come back anyway."
Elder Ning said helplessly: "We cannot do without this bit of etiquette, otherwise if outsiders see it, they will think that our Taihao Sword Sect is eager to marry you as soon as possible."
With that said, Elder Ning pulled Ning Qianxue away.
When he reached the gate of Kyoto, Elder Ning turned his head and glanced at the location of the imperial palace. There was still a faint glow in the sky above the palace.
I don’t know what big thing happened.
Let's wait until we return to Taihao Sword Sect and find someone to ask.
Elder Ning was thinking in his mind.
…………
at this time.
Dazhou Imperial Palace, inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty sat on the dragon chair, scanning the officials with majestic eyes, tapping the back of the chair with his fingertips, quietly waiting for the officials to arrive.
After all the officials have almost arrived.
The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty slowly spoke: "Not long ago, the Imperial Palace of the World received news that remnants of the Great Chu have appeared in Great Yan. You all know about this, right?"
After Emperor Zhou finished speaking, all the officials couldn't help but be stunned and looked at each other a few times, wondering why Emperor Zhou suddenly mentioned this matter.
Could it be that something happened to the remnant of Da Chu?
Not caught?
After the Emperor Zhou finished speaking, he glanced at the officials several times, and finally looked at Cheng Zhihai.
After pausing for a moment on Cheng Zhihai, Emperor Zhou slowly looked away.
He didn't wait for any response from the officials and said, "The remnant of Chu showed up a few days ago."
"It's just that the remnant of Dachu is very powerful, and there seems to be a powerful person behind her who is as powerful as the sky."
"All the people who went to encircle and suppress the remnants of Da Chu were wiped out by that strong man with one palm."
"So, I just learned the news now."
The Emperor Zhou's voice fell, and all the officials were suddenly startled.
All the people who went to encircle and suppress the remnants of Da Chu were wiped out?
If they remember correctly, Da Zhou also sent people to investigate the remnants of Da Chu, right?
In addition, it seems that the crown prince of Zhenguo went there?
Judging from the meaning of Emperor Zhou's words, doesn't it mean that the prince Zhenguo had an accident? ?
The meaning of the Zhou emperor's words was that he was aware that Cheng Guang, the prince of Zhenguo, might have an accident, so he convened an emergency meeting. These officials were probably just vassals, mainly to allow Cheng Zhihai to come.
In order to prevent Cheng Guang, the prince of Zhenguo, from doing anything irrational if he was really killed by the remnant of Chu.
When Cheng Zhihai heard what Emperor Zhou said, he was shocked at first and instinctively clenched his fists, but then he thought about it.
its not right.
My own Guang'er just got home today and everything is fine.
Thinking about it, Guang'er's return came suddenly, and the flying boat had its own concealment effect. Unless a strong person in the Heavenly Realm was careful to observe, no one would notice that Guang'er had returned to the Zhenguo Palace.
When he thought of this, Cheng Zhihai felt a burst of joy and quickly said: "Your Majesty, I am not doing my job well. Later I will immediately send people to continue to investigate the remnant of the Chu and the strong man behind her."
Cheng Zhihai finished speaking.
All the officials were shocked.
They did not expect that Cheng Zhihai could be so calm now that something might happen to the prince.
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty was obviously stunned.
He summoned hundreds of officials this time for two main purposes.
One is to appease Cheng Zhihai.
If Cheng Guang, the eldest son of Duke Zhen, had an accident, Cheng Zhihai would go crazy, and so would Duke Zhen Guo.
The Zhou Dynasty could not withstand the turmoil caused by these two men.
The second is to let all officials discuss whether they should continue to deal with the remnant of Chu.
The remnants of the Great Chu are extremely powerful, and there are strong men in the realm of celestial beings behind them. If they continue to target the remnants of the Great Chu, the Great Zhou Dynasty must also send celestial beings to take action.
Nowadays, in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, there are very few powerful people in the Heavenly and Human Realm who can use them, so the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty had to be cautious.
Facing Cheng Zhihai's words, Emperor Zhou pondered for a moment, then raised his hand slightly and said, "Zhihai, that kid Guang'er is now..."
Cheng Zhihai knew what Emperor Zhou wanted to say, so he quickly took over the conversation and responded: "Your Majesty, my son is already at home at this time."
"I just got home at noon today. Everything is fine."
Emperor Zhou was stunned again when he heard Cheng Zhihai's words.
Just got home today?
Coming back so early?
wrong.
Why could Cheng Guang, the prince of Zhenguo, come back?
Didn't he participate in the operation to encircle and suppress the remnants of Da Chu?
Emperor Zhou couldn't help but have a lot of doubts in his heart, and his majestic face was full of confusion. He wanted to ask something, but when the words came to his mouth, nothing came out.
It's good that nothing happens to Cheng Guang, the prince of the country.
Although Emperor Zhou didn't know why Cheng Guang returned to Kyoto so early, he was still relieved.
"It's fine if nothing happens."
Emperor Zhou nodded slightly and relaxed his brows. Knowing that Cheng Guang was fine at this time, he could also understand why Cheng Zhihai acted so calmly.
Compared with Cheng Zhihai, he seemed a bit unstable.
After the Emperor of Zhou took a deep breath, he held his chin with one hand, looked at the officials sitting down, and asked: "Next, what should be done with the remnants of Da Chu?"
After the Emperor Zhou finished speaking, all the officials started talking about it.
For a while, no one took the initiative to respond.
Until the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty was about to become impatient.
Zhang Jingxing, Minister of the Ministry of War, stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty, the strength of the remnants of Da Chu is extraordinary, and there are heavenly beings behind them. If you want to continue to attack the remnants of Da Chu, I'm afraid it will be too much."
"We might as well see what other dynasties are doing. If they want to take action against the remnant of Da Chu, we can also observe the strength of the remnant of Da Chu and the heavenly being behind her."
"If we wait until other dynasties have tested the strength of the remnants of Dachu and the heavenly beings behind her, we will have a better chance of winning if we take action."
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty nodded slightly when he heard what Zhang Jingxing said. Although he now regarded the remnants of Da Chu as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh, he did not insist on eradicating them immediately.
There's no rush yet.
The Emperor of Zhou waved his hand and asked Zhao Jin, who was beside him, to retreat from the officials, get up and walk towards the back hall.
When we arrived at the palace, the maids and eunuchs had already burned incense and made the bed.
"Your Majesty, which concubine's brand do you need to turn over today?"
Zhao Jin stepped forward to ask at the right time.
Emperor Zhou waved his hand, sat on the coffee table beside him, and said, "We'll talk about this later. Come, play chess with me."
Zhao Jin nodded and carefully sat down in front of Emperor Zhou.
Looking at the cold and majestic face of Emperor Zhou, he hesitated for a moment, and then asked:
"Your Majesty, what is on your mind?"
Emperor Zhou was stunned when he heard this, then smiled, and was about to shake his head immediately, but thought of something, his body was slightly startled, he smiled, and then said:
"Zhao Jin, let me ask you, why did you say that when Duke Zhen Guo invaded Da Chu, he killed everyone in the palace of Da Chu?"
Zhao Jin quickly and carefully placed his position. When he heard the Emperor of Zhou talking about the demise of Chu, he felt extremely stressed and his forehead was instantly covered with beads of sweat.
"Well, Your Majesty, what Duke Zhen Guo did back then was of course to eliminate any future troubles and eliminate the root causes. This is a truth that everyone in the world knows."
The Emperor of Zhou smiled and said nothing, and continued to make moves. After several rounds of back and forth, he said: "But I didn't let him do this back then."
"People from other dynasties should also keep an eye on Da Chu. After all, everyone in the world knows about the prophecy of the Golden List. In addition to completely destroying Da Chu, the royal families in the world also have some thoughts and want to explore Why does the Golden List predict so much?"
"If Duke Zhen Guo had not killed all the royal family of Da Chu back then, why would the royal families in the world still have to fight over a remnant of Da Chu?"
Zhao Jin didn't understand at this time. Big beads of sweat on his forehead were streaming down his face, and his fingers couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Dare not make a sound.
After another move.
Emperor Zhou's tone was slightly hoarse, and he murmured: "The Duke of Zhenguo violated my order and did this. He must have his own reasons."
"Zhao Jin, I don't know if you have ever met the Emperor and Queen of Da Chu back then."
Zhao Jin raised his hand, gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the Great Chu was the most powerful dynasty in the world at that time. Not many people in the world have seen their faces with their own eyes. Great Chu There are still portraits of the emperor that have been circulated, but there is not even a single portrait of the Queen of Chu."
The Emperor of Zhou smiled and said: "Yes, at my current state, I could only see the Emperor of Chu from a distance. How could you see them both in person?"
Having said this, Emperor Zhou's smile faded slightly, and he made a move again with a deep tone.
"Logically speaking, no one except a few emperors of Da Chu has seen the appearance of the Queen of Da Chu, and it is impossible for the emperors of the four major dynasties to have seen her."
"The Duke of Zhen Guo thinks so too."
"However, everything has exceptions. He did not expect that when I was still a prince, I met a woman while traveling."
"When I first met her, I thought she was a goddess, and she looked like an immortal. For so many years, I have been looking for her whereabouts. I only learned the news recently. You know..."
Emperor Zhou's tone was slightly stagnant, and he looked at Zhao Jin, "Do you know where I met that woman?"
Zhao Jin's scalp was numb at this time. Looking at Emperor Zhou, he didn't know the meaning of Emperor Zhou's words for a while.
Hastily lowered his head.
"The servant does not know..."
The Emperor of Dazhou sighed, shook his head and said with a smile: "That location turned out to be the place where the Emperor of Dachu and the Empress of Dachu had a private meeting."
"For so many years, I have been thinking about the person I have been thinking about. I once thought that I was hallucinating, and the character in the hallucination turned out to be the Queen of Chu."
"What surprises me even more is that the son of Duke Zhenguo, Guang'er, and her..."
"It's so similar."
"Do you think this is strange?"
When the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty said this, he raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin looked embarrassed, dropped his hand feebly, and said, "Your Majesty, I have lost."
"This...servant doesn't know how to answer..."
Emperor Zhou put down the chess piece casually, stood up and walked to the window. He looked at the bright moon outside the palace through the lace of the window frame and said: "The prince Zhenguo looks so similar to her back then. This can't be a coincidence."
"So there are two possibilities."
"Either the Duke of Zhen secretly rescued the Dachu Crown Prince and her heir, raised her alone, and wanted to reveal the secret of the Golden List prophecy alone."
"Either the Crown Prince is the child of Yuemei, but I don't know what the Duke did back then, which caused the appearance of Yuemei's child to change like this."
"So similar to him."
Zhao Jin on the side lowered his head and did not dare to answer.
The Emperor of Dazhou said alone: "After learning this news, I was uneasy and couldn't sleep. Today, I feel more and more that Zhen Guogong's family is really uneasy in Dazhou."
"Once the prince of Duke Zhen Guo dies, both Duke Zhen Guo and Cheng Zhihai will go crazy."
"There must be a reason why Duke Zhen Guo's eldest son looks so much like her. I don't intend to delve into it. I can confirm what Duke Zhen Guo did without telling me back then."
"I asked Cheng Zhihai to come here today because I wanted to see how Cheng Zhihai would react if Cheng Guang, the prince of Zhenguo, really died. But I never thought that he was not dead."
"If there was not only one remnant of the Great Chu who survived back then, his survival would be explained."
"Just be crazy. There is no one in this world who is not crazy."
Emperor Zhou sighed, looked at Zhao Jin, his majestic and cold face remained unchanged, and slowly said:
"As far as I know, Cheng Zhihai has recently been in contact with the Taihao Sword Sect with the intention of getting married. You can wipe it out while my nephew is on his way to welcome his bride."
"Finally, bring the body back to me."
"I have to find out the reason after all."
When Zhao Jin heard this, his heart tightened, "Your Majesty, is this really what you want?"
"The Duke of Zhenguo..."
Emperor Zhou waved his hand and said: "You don't need to worry about this matter. When you do it, leave less traces. Otherwise, you will have to accompany Guang'er."
A chill ran down Zhao Jin's spine, and he broke into a cold sweat, and he quickly responded.
Then he said "Excuse me" and left slowly.
After Zhao Jin left.
The Emperor of Zhou Dynasty looked at the bright moon outside the palace, his mind filled with thoughts. After watching for a while, he felt that he seemed to have forgotten something.
The majestic and cold face slightly condensed.
No, I haven’t turned over the sign today.
Looking out of the palace with a melancholy look, he couldn't help but want to say something in his heart.
Zhao Jin, come back to me.
