"Grandma, I'm sorry to interrupt your movie viewing. Actually, I'm here to pick you up this time."
"What did you say?"
Qi Meng leaned against the old man's ear and repeated it again. Only then did the other man hear what he was saying. He said "oh" and turned around to continue watching the movie.
"Rebels united with extraterrestrial civilizations to riot. Chaos is coming soon. Many people will die. It is not peaceful here. Everyone has gone to the shelter. Zhao Can has gone. He asked me to pick you up and go together."
Qi Meng decided to take the old man with him.
Taking away is just taking away in a literal sense, taking the old man out of the deserted village and heading to the underground city, rather than sending her to another world.
The old lady grabbed Qi Meng and said in a trembling voice: "Why didn't Zhao Can come? Something happened to him?"
"No, no, he's fine, he just can't pull away."
The old man's nervous expression eased slightly.
"You just said chaos, what chaos? Is it more chaos than the chaos that the eldest princess encountered?"
Qi Meng waved his arms and exaggeratedly said:
"The only enemies Liu Yufei faces are his younger brother Liu Kan, the wealthy gentry family, and the Millennium Cycle Law. Now, the empire is facing a more complicated situation, which can be said to be internal and external troubles."
"Domestic and foreign troubles? Oceania invaded again?" the old woman said in surprise.
The Empire and Oceania have been in conflict for more than a hundred years, and this time, it is an invasion from extraterrestrial civilizations.
The Senate sent a large number of swarms, a steady stream of robots, and perhaps biological weapons to deal with the complex situation. The rebels were hiding among ordinary people, so the army would kill many people. It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go. This is the original words of a senator...
"Anyway, a lot of people will die. It's a bit like the 'Human Purge Plan'."
"You shouldn't call the eldest princess by her first name, it's very rude."
It seems that the old lady respects Liu Yufei, the third emperor of Qi Dynasty. In the words of her time (fifty years ago), she is the eldest princess's biggest fan.
"Okay, I will respect her from now on."
The old lady moved her buttocks to get closer to the TV projection, and continued to be immersed in the war of war more than three hundred years ago.
"Aren't you afraid?" Qi Meng asked in surprise.
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of dying? We have been fighting and dying for decades. We have long been used to it."
The old lady said, pointing to the eldest princess on the TV screen.
"Since the time when we fought Taizu, we have never stopped. Young man, what you encountered today has been experienced by us before. It was just an invasion of Oceania turned into an invasion of aliens. What's so scary? "
Qi Meng felt that the old man was right.
Since Taizu ascended the throne, Daqi has been at war.
Fight with Jiannu, fight with Zhu Ming, fight with Japan, fight with Rakshasa, fight with Europeans, fight with our own people, fight with clones, fight with robots, and finally fight with aliens when there is no opponent. .
In this country, war is the norm, while stability and peace have become a luxury.
The old man saw through Qi Meng's thoughts at a glance and said happily: "The Human Purge Plan seems to be a movie. I watched it many years ago. Many people died."
Qi Meng smiled awkwardly and sat on the sofa rubbing his hands uneasily.
"Young man, don't think too much. Today, just watch the last movie of your life with this old woman like me. Go back and tell Zhao Can that I'm not going anywhere and will die here."
After saying that, he stared at the projection screen expressionlessly.
Qi Meng was speechless for a moment.
To die alone like this, in this chaotic and cruel world, was a relief for her.
The long and boring movie continues.
Liu Yufei is controlling her giant python, using fire and venom to brutally suppress the resistance of the western barbarians.
Qi Meng leaned on the soft sofa and was bored, and couldn't help complaining:
"Later generations were unable to solve the political problems left by the Supreme Emperor, so they had to resort to supernatural powers."
"Boring plot."
The old woman watched with great interest and did not hear what Qi Meng said.
"Grandma, I'm going to take a nap first. Remember to wake me up when the movie is over."

Under the escort of his own soldiers, Qin Jianxun strode up to the tower of Wangyue City.
Although the commander of the corps had been mentally prepared, when he saw the giant green python curled up next to the eldest princess, he was so frightened by the giant beast that his face turned pale, his limbs were stiff, and his legs were weak.
The giant python is more than ten feet long. It is said that it was transformed from the Xuanwu at the feet of Zhenwu God (the whereabouts of the other giant turtle are unknown). It escaped from Wudang Mountain that day and somehow now became the eldest princess's mount.
When the giant python saw someone approaching, the ring of scales around its neck expanded instantly, raised its head, and swallowed blood-red snake messages.
Liu Yufei gently stroked the snake's scales to indicate that the python was calm.
"This is the divine beast left to me by my father. In fact, there is also a giant tortoise, which is even bigger than it. One snake and one turtle are collectively called Xuanwu. They used to practice under my father's feet. It is said that when a person attains the Tao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, my father becomes a For the Emperor Zhenwu, they all became climates. Unfortunately, the turtle was playful and crashed into the Han River. I don't know where it went. So, now it is Xuanwu."
Liu Yufei waved off the guards and said in a kind tone: "You don't have to be afraid. You can come closer and look into Xuanwu's eyes. My father said that they are as penetrating as candlelight and can distinguish between loyal and traitorous people."
Qin Jianxun took a deep breath and took two more steps forward until he could hear the python's heavy breathing. He raised his head and looked directly into the snake's eyes.
Xuanwu looked down at Qin Jianxun, his eyes facing each other, his eyes as calm as water. The two sides looked at each other for a moment, and the scales on the python's neck slowly retracted, returning to calm.
"Removing the scales can make tens of thousands of armors." Qin Jianxun whispered.
Liu Yufei smiled and said: "It can understand what people are saying, and it will avenge itself."
"just like me."
Qin Jianxun said in surprise: "Your Highness, have you really seen the Supreme Emperor?"
When asked this question, Qin Jianxun felt a little regretful. Since there are giant pythons more than ten feet long in the world, what else can't happen?
Quan Chuhua reminded from the side: "General Qin, you should call the Queen Your Majesty, not Your Highness!"
Liu Yufei waved her hand, indicating not to care about these details.
"I saw it."
"How is the Supreme Emperor's dragon body? Where is his old man now?" Qin Jianxun asked excitedly and uneasily.
Liu Yufei raised her head and looked up at the sky: "My father has become an immortal. He has gone to another world. He said that he is very disappointed with Da Qi, Liu Kan and us. He said that the world is not worth it. Only through suffering can one achieve the right results. So he left the tortoise and the snake in the world to help me do things conveniently."
The so-called doing things cheaply should mean killing people on a large scale.
When Liu Yufei said this, her eyes were a little moist. She wiped the corners of her eyes and her expression became solemn:
"It is urgent to abolish the New Deal, kill Liu Kan, and restore the old system of Da Qi. This is my heart, and so is the people's heart. General Qin, are you and your Fourth Corps willing to follow me and raise an army?"
The basalt giant python leaned over and looked at the two of them.
Qin Jianxun said: "The Supreme Emperor was kind to me back then, and I have to say something. Now even if Liu Kan is killed, and those civil and military ministers who support the New Deal are killed, it will be difficult for Da Qi to go back to the past. At this time, it raises troops, Apart from hundreds of thousands more lives lost, there will be no other changes."
The Queen nodded in agreement: "I know that it has been six years since Liu Kan brought trouble to Da Qi. In these six years, everything has changed, but it is not too late to make amends. I will explain the difference between his "Qi Dynasty Land Acquisition System" and reality. , find a better balance point and benefit the people all over the world. General Qin does not need to worry, everything is human-made."
"Are you willing to join my rebellion and kill Liu Kan?"
Qin Jianxun knelt on one knee, put one hand on his chest, and gave Liu Yufei a grand military salute. He pulled out the sword from his waist and cut a blood groove on the back of his hand.
"I and the Fourth Corps will follow His Majesty to the death, kill national traitors, and protect the common people until death."
Liu Yufei helped Qin Jianxun up and looked up at Xuanwu in the air.
Qin Jianxun looked troubled and said: "Your Majesty, now that Chongqing's chieftains are not at peace, they are getting more and more rampant. They faced off against our army in Yunyang before. After the Fourth Corps withdrew from Yunyang, they took advantage of it and reached Junzhou so quickly."
"How could the chieftain soldiers be so arrogant?"
Qin Jianxun pointed to the west, and Liu Yufei took the telescope. Looking across the endless mountains of Daba Mountain, she could clearly see dots of tents appearing on the mountain ridge line dozens of miles west of Junzhou.
"Can't the Fourth Corps be repulsed?"
Qin Jianxun shook his head and said: "The imperial court has insufficient food and wages, weapons are missing and there are no supplies. Your brother Emperor Guangde is eager to have the Fourth Corps cancel its establishment. It is not easy for us to hold Yunyang."
The Queen said coldly: "Anyone who obstructs our great power will be burned to death!"
"burn!"
Xuanwu took the order and left, roaring filial piety, and flew westward.
After a while, a raging fire broke out on the mountain ridge line in the distance, and the endless chieftain barracks turned into a sea of fire.
