Chapter 619: The Guest Has Arrived
sion. 。Quan Qinghua sat across from her, saying nothing, just staring at her. 。Until the carriage left the inner city, Ye Chulian heard the sound of the guards closing the city gates before realizing...Looking at the girl's satisfied expression, Shi Liyuan asked her, "Did it really increase your confidence" She stomped her foot in anger, "Do you have to keep asking I just said it for fun, who actually knows what this so-called catastrophe is all about" 。Is it an earthquake Or a flood or tsunami We don't know, and we are completely passive in this situation. We can only wait for its arrival before we can think about how to respond. 。Moreover, there's a prerequisite: the convergence of five energy channels. 。But when will the Five Meridians be able to gather
She sighed, “I asked Fourth Prince to help me sell my jewelry to a very faraway place, and I even opened a clinic to practice medicine, treating countless people with the medical skills from our place…” 。Besides, there's also a perfumery preparing, their purpose is just to have someone who understands these things, and come looking for me. 。Although I resist the coming apocalypse, I also know that for ordinary people, it could very well be a catastrophic disaster. 。But I am even less willing to see more and more people dying without a single illness when they reach the age of sixty. 。The issue of human lifespan has plagued us for centuries, and it's high time we found a solution. 。"Shi Liyuan, I believe there will always be humans who can live a normal lifespan, but this is bound to come at a terrible price. When that time comes, will people thank us or hate us Will they be willing to continue as they are now, or will they fight for a better future for their descendants"
Shi Liyuan couldn't answer this question either, he could only tell her: "Both possibilities will happen. There will inevitably be some people who refuse to accept it, but there will definitely be some people who are willing to live longer." 。Actually, by then, it wouldn't just be them facing the calamity, you and I would too. We could all possibly lose our lives in that great disaster. So, are you willing to risk death, or would you rather follow the rules He paused, then continued, "If we disregard your Five Meridians Convergence and look at things purely for the sake of all humankind..." 。"
Ye Wenyan didn't even think about it, and directly said: "I am willing to take the risk! Protecting these two words is the common belief of the five meridians, so no matter what the reason, we have the duty to protect humans and this time and space" 。It's not just me who thinks this way, the other lineages think the same way too. 。So when that time comes, even if the five pulses don't reunite, I will still walk that path without hesitation. 。She looked up at Shi Liyuan, her eyes twinkling like stars. In this moment, the girl was particularly captivating in Shi Liyuan's eyes. 。"You think so too, don't you" she asked him. "Though you always put me first, even to the point of not being able to protect the girl you love, how can you protect..." 。But we all know in our hearts, once something happens, you'll abandon everything and rush into it without hesitation, right She smiled, "Don't deny it. People should shoulder as much responsibility as they are capable of." 。> 。He listened to her words, every word carefully and attentively. As he listened, not only did he feel that there were stars in the girl's eyes, but even the whole person seemed to be glowing. 。It turns out there really are kind words in this world, and responsible ones too. It turns out that over four hundred years ago, he still lived selfishly. 。He reached for her hand, smiling at her: "Protecting the common people and protecting you is what truly makes this deity worthy." 。You have no choice between yourself and the common people. For over four hundred years, I've cultivated against the heavens, waiting for the cataclysm to come. When it does, I will protect everyone I wish to protect. 。Ayan, we will all live on forever, from the past to the present and into the future, living on and on. 。All the mysteries you want to solve will be solved one by one in the future, and all the people you want to see will also be seen in the future. 。He reached out with one hand to tuck a stray strand of her hair behind her ear, “Before…this continent and your world weren't parallel. They existed in the same time space, separated only by three thousand years.” 。You may not believe it, but if you were truly a place, living to overlap with the future could possibly create two of you. At that point, time and space would once again be displaced. 。Actually, no. We truly live in that era. You truly stand inside the Ye family mansion facing all your relatives, and there wouldn't be two of you. 。"Ayan, didn't you forget You are not the you of the future right now. You will definitely see your future self because, as it stands, you are already Ye Si, the fourth sister of the General's Mansion at night!"Ye Wenyan suddenly realized, she had thought about it wrong. 。She is now the fourth sister of the night, a different person. So as time progresses to that later era, she will not meet two versions of herself. 。Ye Wen is Ye Wen, and Ye Sijie is Ye Sijie. It's like the soul that now resides in Ye Lianmeng's body is watching her. Although it's still herself, from a biological standpoint, they are two different people. 。The moment the power of the earth spirits vanished, I knew there was a major problem with time and space. 。"Master Lī Yúan," It's a shame that with my own strength, I can't delve deeper. 。Now that you're here, the mysteries of centuries can finally be unraveled. 。The palace set a midday banquet, to entertain Prince Suyuan. 。No matter what, those who come from afar are guests. Besides, the Suyuan people brought jewels, wax dyeing, and spices as gifts. A group of people smiled and bowed deeply to Quan Qingcheng. 。The saying goes, "Don't strike a smiling face," even though Quan Qingcheng was apprehensive of this Prince Su Yuan in his heart, he still treated him with courtesy on the surface. 。After all, Bei Qi was a great country, many times larger than Su Yuan. As the sovereign of such a mighty nation, he couldn't possibly stoop to quarreling with the prince of another country. 。At the midday meal, there were Three Princes with Quan Qingyun in attendance. The Regent King also entered the palace and seemed to have a good conversation with Prince Suyuan. 。Quan Qingcheng was dazzled by the white hair of Prince Su Yuan, and said to Quan Qingyun who was sitting beside him, "Third brother, have you ever met this prince before I think he's not much older than me, how come he has so much white hair"Quan Qingyun shook his head, "I haven't either." 。Su Yuan had last visited Be Qi over ten years ago. At the time, he had only come as an emissary. This Crown Prince, according to what was said, had been raised in the deep palace since birth and rarely left even Su Yuan's palace. 。"
He arrived here and remembered some gossip about Su Yuan, so he added, "According to the prince, Su Yuan was born to a favorite concubine of the king, not the empress. But the king insisted on making him crown prince when the child was three years old" 。Back then, because of this matter, the Empress killed that favored concubine in a fit of anger, but she died soon after. 。It is rumored that the emperor killed the empress to avenge his concubine, but some say that it was the three-year-old prince who poisoned the empress's food. 。The Queen was unprepared for the three-year-old, which is how he got his way. 。This prince's white hair was born with him. At the time, Su Yuan’s High Priest had prophesied that this child would either be Su Yuan’s fortune or Su Yuan’s disaster. 。Some suggested discarding it, but the monarch still wanted to take the chance of a fifty percent success rate. 。"
Quan Qingcheng was like listening to a story, he didn't care about any luck or misfortune. Right now, all he wanted to know was what this prince who looked like a monster suddenly coming to Bei Qi meant He even openly entered the palace and sent so many gifts, but his intentions remained unclear. All he said was that the two countries had not had formal contact for many years, and he was just here as a guest, representing the ruler to greet the new emperor of Bei Qi." 。"Humph" 。"Quan Qingcheng was a bit unhappy. This wasn't a visit to greet him, the new emperor, but rather a reunion with the regent." 。But when did this prince and the regent become acquainted Why didn't he know anything about it Thinking about this, I couldn't help but blame the late emperor. 。Since his name was already written on the imperial decree, how come no one thought of training him beforehand At least let him broaden his horizons and learn more about the outside world, so he wouldn't be sitting here like an idiot, unable to even utter a word. 。It's no wonder he did this, in the past six months as he has been poring over ancient texts, he just happened to overlook Su Yuan. 。Because the two countries had never truly interacted and there was no history of warfare, they maintained peaceful relations. It was a mutually beneficial situation where everyone prospered. Over time, however, people began to forget about Su Yuan. 。Except when there were occasionally a few pieces of batik cloth brought into the palace, I couldn't remember them at all. 。Seeing Quan Qingcheng's dejection, Quan Qingyun patted his shoulder in comfort. Before he could say anything, they saw Prince Suyuan looking over at them, a mischievous grin on his face as he said to Quan Qingcheng, "Your Majesty only talks to the Third Prince and ignores Wang Is it because you think Wang is just a prince of a country and not worthy of speaking with you That's right, the Emperor of Beiji is the supreme ruler, how could he look down upon us people from the Da Mo country" 。It's already an honor for the Regent to accompany the King, making Su Yuan so pleased. 。”
Qian Qingcheng took a deep breath, about to say something to ease the awkwardness, but at this moment, the Regent King jumped in and said: “Your Highness is overthinking things. Our new emperor has only been on the throne for half a year and hasn’t even started ruling yet. He's still clueless about matters of diplomacy between our two countries. It's not meant as a personal attack on you>>> 。Today, even if it were a prince from another country, our emperor would still have the same attitude. 。“
Quan Qingcheng frowned when he heard this. Was this accusing him of being uncultured
Who would have thought that the regent's words were not over yet: "Prince Su Yuan, you may not know, our late emperor passed away suddenly, and there were many things that he didn't have time to explain or deal with. The new emperor had always been mute before, only able to speak on the day the former emperor died" 。Therefore, he has never received the kind of education like that of Your Highness. He hasn't even attended the National School of Learning, so he finds it rather difficult to express some things properly. 。Fortunately, the emperor did not take personal control of the government. There was still time to learn slowly. 。"A mute as emperor" Prince Suyuan smirked, "The Northern Qi people are truly willful and daring. They dare to nominate someone for the throne, they really don't take these hundreds of years of foundation seriously!""Prince Suyuan, please be respectful!" Quan Qingyun spoke up, "Guests are welcomed with hospitality. While we, Northern Qi, treat guests with respect, we also ask that guests behave appropriately. This is how the teachings of your kingdom in Suyuan should be reflected." 。The Crown Prince surely wouldn't want to leave behind a reputation for being sharp-tongued and overbearing in Northern Qi. Besides, "sharp-tongued" is usually used to describe women. 。As soon as these words were spoken, Su Yuan's face immediately turned cold...t since the Suyuan people are so shameless, they drugged and kidnapped me as soon as they entered the palace. You started it first, the one who starts a fight is the villain, I have to curse you..."Th...
