Ying Chengyu lay on his back and didn't sleep all night. Feeling a little tired, he put aside his worries and fell asleep in the gentle land of green plums and lilacs.
After waking up and not knowing the time, Ding Xiang brought the food in for Qingmei, sat on the bed and ate without etiquette, frowning and thinking while eating.
[No wonder Guiguzi always believed that I was an outsider. It turned out that he had an old friend who proposed parallel time and space. This was really a big departure! ]
Ying Chengyu really didn't expect that in this era, someone would come up with the word universe and have such a high understanding of time and space. Moreover, he studied the universe and created the Shi family, but the little-known Shi Jiao was still an old friend of Gui Guzi.
As a result, Guiguzi completely accepted time travel, which normal people would only regard as a joke.
Ying Chengyu did not deliberately emphasize that it was from the future, but he also did not deliberately hide it.
But people like Xunzi, Han Fei, and Lu Buwei only thought that Ying Chengxiong's thinking was different from ordinary people, and no one would think that he had traveled through time.
Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, if a person pulls someone else's clothes and says they are from two thousand years in the future, they will most likely be regarded as crazy.
Ding Xiang comforted her with soft words, like a big sister next door. Qingmei took Ying Chengyu's arm and asked coquettishly, like her naughty sister.
The twin beautiful young women with completely different personalities are using their own methods to relieve Ying Chengyuan's troubled mood, hoping that Ying Chengyuan will express his sorrow and solve the problems for the lover whom he has identified as a child.
But what can be said about such a thing?
Not to mention Qingmei and Dingxiang, it is useless to attract all the guests of Chang'an Jun's Mansion. Ying Chengyu can only rely on himself for this matter. Ying Chengyu could imagine the reactions of his disciples if he told the truth.
What if Gui Guzi sees that I have traveled through time in the future?
Xunzi would say: "The child is silent, strange, powerful, chaotic, and divine."
Li Muhui said: "Your Majesty, could you please use someone else to deceive me?"
Jing Ke would say: "Your Majesty, I am a reckless man, not a fool. Why do you need to make up a reason if you want to kill the source of trouble? I will kill him for you tonight."
Gai Nie would say: "Nie doesn't know."
…
The disciples will not find this matter difficult, but will find Ying Chengyu's time-traveling a fantasy. No one would believe that Ying Chengyu came from the future, and no one would be worried about Gui Guzi seeing through this and knowing that Ying Chengyu was worried.
If he wants to let the disciples know the seriousness of this matter, he needs to convince them that he is from the future. Ying Chengyu felt that it would be more difficult for him to convince the dragon and phoenix of these people than it was for him to convince others that he was Qin Shihuang in modern times.
To take a step back, even if you convince others, aren't you making yourself uncomfortable? What was originally worrying was that Guiguzi saw through his identity. The way to solve this problem was to tell others his identity. Is this something a normal person can do?
This is not a werewolf killing, there is no way to ensure that the werewolf card is seen and the werewolf self-destructs.
This matter can only be handled by Ying Chengyu himself.
To be honest, Ying Chengyu really had murderous intentions. He was very afraid of Gui Guzi, which was evident from the fact that Gui Guzi was nicknamed the source of trouble.
After his biggest secret was revealed, Ying Chengyu really wanted to kill someone and silence him.
But regarding the question of whether to kill Xiang Yu, he just said that instead of fearing that Chong Tongzi would rebel and overthrow the Qin State when he grew up, and kill him while he was still young, it would be better to take it upon himself to make the world a better place.
Using wine as a metaphor, there are two ways to succeed. One is to weaken the opponent, and the other is to improve yourself. The former treats the symptoms, because it is impossible to weaken all opponents, while the latter treats the root cause, because it can always improve itself.
Just after giving Guiguzi Baba a lesson, he turned around and stabbed Guiguzi. This was not like slapping himself in the mouth.
[Forget it, just guess it. How can you guess him? I am a time traveler, tell me if anyone will believe you. ]
Ying Chengyu thought as he broke the jar.
He didn't know what was bothering him, and exposing his identity as a time traveler to Gui Guzi wouldn't cause him any substantial harm, but he was just annoyed.
[Has this Guiguzi already guessed my identity? The purpose of talking about Xiang Yu is to test how I will deal with him after my identity is exposed? So sharp! He can’t really live for hundreds of years! ]
[Yin Yang Technique can only confirm that Xiang Yu is in Qi Di. Qi Di is so big. The assassins I send are just looking for a needle in a haystack. There is a high probability that they won’t be able to kill anyone. Why do you say that? He is just testing me! ]
"snort!"
Ying Chengyu turned over and sat up, raised his feet and walked away, angrily going to find Gui Guzi to settle the score.
Qingmei and Dingxiang wanted to accompany them, but Ying Chengyu gave them a strong order not to follow them.
I'm worried that Ying Chengxuan's sister will act coquettishly and say, "Young master, take me there. Take me there."
One is moved with emotion, and the other is rational, saying that my sister has followed the young master since she was a child and will not cause trouble to him. My sister is asked to follow the young master on this trip. If anything unexpected happens, she can also cook for the young master.
Ying Chengyu was unmoved and ruthlessly rejected the personal maid whose face was as red as March's peach blossoms, and walked straight out of the dormitory door.
Pass through the two interior doors, and then step on the bluestone slab to exit the door. He looked as usual and said hello to Lu Goujian, who had gotten up early. He followed the path from the governor's house to Guiguzi's residence and walked over by stepping on the footprints on the mud.
Soon, Guiguzi's residence came into view.
Bang~
Ying Chengyu violently kicked open the door and strode in. His face turned cold the moment he entered.
Bang~
He slammed the door hard with his backhand, and the loud noises of opening and closing were no more than three breaths apart.
"Wang Chan! Are you wrong?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Chengyu's brows suddenly condensed. He did not sense the presence of any living person in the room.
"Wang Chan? Are you here?"
The eyebrow peaks that were originally scattered were clustered together again, and Ying Chengyu frowned and walked inward.
If he had turned around and left before, his martial arts skills were very high, and few people could hide their aura in front of him at such a close distance.
Only Jing Ke and Yue Nu can do it, but Gai Nie and Lu Gou Jian are not among them, and Gui Guzi cannot do it even more.
But I saw the magic of corpse art, and listened to Gui Guzi talk about the corpse family all night.
Hearing from Gui Guzi's mouth that the Shi family had a way of hiding their aura, Ying Chengyu was really not sure whether Gui Guzi could hide his aura in front of him.
Gui Guzi's apartment in the magistrate's mansion was not big. Apart from the entrance hall, there were only rooms across the hall. It was far from comparable to Ying Chengyu's large courtyard.
A large wooden bath barrel was placed in the center of the hall. When Ying Chengyu passed by, he stopped and stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the water. It was cold.
The frown deepened.
He pushed open the only inner door and entered Guiguzi's dormitory. He glanced around and saw no one.
In the room of less than 20 square meters, the beds and quilts were folded neatly, with no signs of being opened. There are pens, inks, paper and inkstones placed on the desk.
A coir raincoat was placed on a wooden chair. On the ground opposite to the coir raincoat was a small puddle of water. Next to the water was the umbrella Guiguzi held yesterday.
It had just been built, and the bookshelf that had been moved in was not filled with classics and history collections or hundreds of books. There was only one solitary book.
Ying Chengyu closed the door with his backhand, then went to the bedside and lifted up the three layers of animal skins on the bed, exposing the yellow wood.
Ying Cheng tapped twice with his bent fingers. The sound was dull but not hollow, proving that the bed was not hollow.
"Is it because I haven't finished my business, or..."
In the whole room, except for this bed, there is no place to hide people.
After judging that there was indeed no one in the room, Ying Chengyu walked to the desk with a gloomy face and looked at the inkstone at first glance. The shape of the inkstone was nothing ordinary. At first glance, it was not a rare thing. The ink marks inside the inkstone could no longer be seen. There are water marks.
Ying Chengyu reached out and tapped it. There was a little black ink powder on his finger. The ink had dried.
A brush with the same dry tip was pressed against a piece of paper, as if it was afraid that the paper would be blown away and weighed down.
Ying Chengyu removed the brush, blew it out of habit, and looked at it intently. The first sentence made Ying Chengyuan's luck completely disappear.
[Your Majesty, Zen takes leave. 】
"I thought it was my imagination. After you bowed last night, you really meant to leave."
Ying Chengyu had this feeling when Gui Guzi stood up and bowed down last night. It was a little more formal, so he pulled Gui Guzi.
Ying Chengyu wanted to put down this piece of paper and go after Guiguzi. From the time he fell asleep to now, even if he slept for a long time, it had only been a few hours, and it was still dark.
As an old man, Guiguzi, how far can he go even if his legs and feet can still walk? It would be close to being able to get out of the three hundred-mile boundary of Xinzheng. Now Han is Ying Chengyu's territory, and Ying Chengyu is very sure that he can get it back.
Resisting the urge to put down the paper, Ying Chengyu muttered to himself.
"Don't rush it. Let's see what you, an overly sharp old man, can say."
His eyes continued to look downward.
[Originally I wanted to tell your Majesty that if we have different ways of doing things, we should not conspire against each other, in order to embrace the kindness of Your Majesty who has been ridiculed and ridiculed for so many years. But Zen thought about it carefully and realized that although your Majesty often does stupid things, he is just a person whose eyes are covered and is not a stupid person. He will not believe such stupid things. If I write like this, I will lose my reputation for nothing, so forget it. 】
"You are the one doing stupid things! What stupid things have I done! You are the stupid one! Your whole family is stupid!"
Ying Chengxuan looked very ugly, and Ying Chengxuan swore that if Gui Guzi appeared in front of him now, he would definitely show him his elder-respecting skills.
[Jun Shang said to Zen that day: After seeing the truth of life, you still love life. Fighting with the sky, fighting with the earth, fighting with people, all are endless fun. Presumably this is what the disciple who appears in the future said. With your ability, you should not be able to say such a thing. Your Majesty, there is no need to pretend to be in a dream. Your Majesty has too many dreams. 】
"Just being sarcastic and sarcastic won't damage your character, right? Are you trying to be a bitch like me? Why do you think you are a bitch when you're so young! Are you cheap or not?"
Ying Chengyu wanted to hit someone. Although what he said was true, Ying Chengyu was still very unhappy.
[But after all, Zen learned from the Lord. Because these two sentences cleared up the confusion in his heart, Zen still wanted to express his gratitude to the Lord. To reciprocate love, before Zen goes to fight with heaven and earth, I also advise you to say a word, it is better to believe in books than to have no books at all. What others say always belongs to others. 】
[You think you are adapting to the times, but in fact, you have not done so in recent years. Only after the veteran forced Junshang to kill the three major aristocratic families did Junshang make some progress. Your Majesty, this time is different from your future. The system changes over time and people change, and there is no soil here. 】
"I already knew it, what do you say? I've already killed everyone before you acted in hindsight. It's only the benefit of hindsight!"
[What King Qin did was going against the general trend. But what your Majesty did was against nature. It is difficult for the King of Qin to succeed, and the State of Qin will collapse as a result. Unless King Qin can live hundreds of years like me and be the king for hundreds of years. But this possibility is slim. 】
[Although these four fleshy moles on my head are not as mysterious and mystical as people say, they are indeed not ordinary appearances. The last person with such an appearance was named Peng Zu and he lived for eight hundred years. People with this kind of appearance have a long lifespan, just like the vision of double pupils. Of course, your Majesty will not believe it. 】
[This is not important, Zen just wants your Majesty to know that even the King of Qin with Ziwei's fate could not go against the general trend and lose the Qin State. Your Majesty wants to defy heaven, and even if you lose the state of Qin, you won't be able to do it. When Shi Jiao was a disciple of Shang Yang, he was as ambitious as a king. 】
[It is broader than what Jing Shang thought. He wants everyone in the world to know the nature of this world. He wants to use Shang Yang, who is trusted by Qin Xiaogong, to realize his ambition in the Qin State where changing the law means death. The result was that all the enthusiasm was disappointed. Everyone thought that Shang Yang's reform of Qin was a strong Qin. This thought was not wrong, but in the eyes of my old friend, instead of becoming a strong Qin, it would be better to call it a weak people. 】
"Is it true or false? When Shang Yang carried out his reform, and what happened to Shi Jiao? Isn't this a trick on me? Why is there no record of it in the "History of Qin"?"
"History of Qin" is a history compiled by the Qin State itself. It details the events from Qin Feizi's rise to the first emperor, just like the "Bamboo Book Annals", a history book of the Wei State.
With Ying Chengyu's powerful position, he had no problem reading the entire "History of Qin", but he had never seen the name Shi Jiao in "History of Qin".
"No! That was two hundred years ago by Shang Yang. This old ghost can name Xi Jiao, and he can talk to me about corpse skills all night long. He must be an old friend of Xi Jiao. This old ghost is at least alive. Two hundred years... If the emperor still wants the elixir of immortality when he is old, wouldn't it be better to slice up the ghost millet and eat the meat than those guys who make shot put? "
[My old friend saw that he couldn't do anything, so he left Shang Yang. Even my old friend can't do it. If you want to do it, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky. I don't have any hope for this, and this is part of the reason why I left you. I don't want to die with you, and I can live for hundreds of years. 】
[If your Majesty still wants to fulfill your wish, then you can do it yourself. I can't help you. Whether you win or lose, it has nothing to do with me. On the desk is the Tao of my old friend, which I wrote on the spot, and its name is "Corpse". There may be copies circulating in the world, but this is the only complete book. 】
[Your Majesty, you can see for yourself, you can practice corpse art, or you can pass it on to others. Although I feel that what my old friend has not been able to do, your Majesty cannot do it either. But doing one thing that cannot be done is done, and doing two things that cannot be done is done, so your Majesty will do it together, so that the family will not be lost in history.
