Chapter 22 Section ten

It's over, everything is over, like a passing breeze, like a disillusioned spring dream, happy and short.From now on, she will trek alone on the path of unknown destiny.She is not yet twenty years old, but she knows that in the rest of her life, there will be no more innocent laughter. Her tears flowed down, fell on her hands, on the comb, and fell on King Chu's black hair, one drop, two drops... She pulled up King Chu's hair, left or right? Suddenly, she threw away the comb, rushed to the king of Chu, knelt down, grabbed the hand of the king of Chu, and said, "My lord, let us forget about Longxi, Xingcha, moving mountains and filling seas, forgetting all of this. Let us Find a brand new era and start over! We can be mixed in the vast sea of ​​people, in the mountains, in the countryside, in the market place, hide our names, and live the life of ordinary people for a lifetime, so that Long Xi will never find us.

King Chu said: "Ji Jiang, I can't pretend I don't know all of this. You know, once its conspiracy is realized, the entire civilization will..." "Oh, Your Majesty." Ji Jiang cried: "Don't care about any conspiracy, don't care about civilization, don't care about the common people in the world, maybe nothing will happen? Maybe someone else will stop it? We all exist well now, so we can see it It is destined not to succeed, why do we have to make such a head?" The king of Chu said: "Ji Jiang, didn't I tell you? The changed history will overshadow the original one, and we can't take chances. Civilization still exists until now because you and I haven't given up. Ji Jiang, you Don't cry, you should be proud. We are all chosen by God. I am destined to destroy its lair, and you, are destined to expose its plot before it rebuilds everything."

Ji Jiang cried: "There are so many people in the world, why is it you? Why is it me? Others are enjoying civilization in a daze, why are you and I running and sacrificing for the continuation of civilization? You saved the world with painstaking efforts, But who would know, who would be grateful to you? Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why are you doing this? What can you gain by doing this?" The King of Chu gently wiped away the tears on Ji Jiang's face, and said: "I won't get anything, but I still want to do this. Since I know its plot, I have no right to live a peaceful life. Perhaps , God gave me that kind of wisdom, not for me to complete the mission of this difficult world. I have always done well, and I am worthy of God's generous gift. Ji Jiang, don't cry for me. My mission has been completed, I You can rest. But you still have a lot to do, and you will encounter many difficulties. You have to adapt to a very different environment; you have to learn a different language; you have to be careful when dealing with people with malicious intentions... Stay, don't go to the past, that is the era under Longxi's control. Go to the future, go to a safe era, write all this down, tell the world about its plot, and cut off its hope forever. As far as I know, the Shang It took more than 3,000 years to make the jade pheasant once, but this time it has experience, maybe only 2,000 or 1000 years, so you must complete the task within this period of time, you know?"

Ji Jiang nodded tearfully. The King of Chu said: "If you find in the long river of history that there are warlocks instigating the rulers to make alchemy and collect things like cinnabar, realgar, graphite, lead, etc., then you should be vigilant. This shows that Long Xi is active and has already Once you control the ruler, you can't stay long, you have to leave as soon as possible, remember? Ji Jiang threw herself into King Chu's arms, crying loudly: "But...but I want to use it to come back to see you!" King Chu said: "No, don't come back, don't come back forever. This is a dangerous era. Now I already have the present you, and I don't need the future you to accompany me. Remember me in your heart! Miss me , go to see me in the history books. Remember this dynasty—Han Dynasty." After finishing speaking, King Chu took out the jade pheasant from his pocket, opened it, adjusted it, closed it again, and put it gently into Ji Jiang's hands.

雊!雊!雊! The desolate pheasant crowed, and the gentle white light slowly shrouded Ji Jiang's body. Looking at the gradually blurred figure of the King of Chu, Ji Jiang felt something stuck in his throat, and after a lot of effort, he said, "My lord, over the years, have you not... you haven't..." The voice of King Chu came from outside the thicker and thicker fog: "Ji Jiang, I like you, and I know you like me too, but that's not suffering, it's just because of you and I feel lonely. The age when it was hard to find a soulmate. Go to the future, there are many smart people there, and you will find the real..."

A huge scream drowned out King Chu's voice, and Ji Jiang cried loudly: "No! No! Your Majesty, you know in your heart, it's not..." However, the scream made her unable to hear her own cry. . With tears in her eyes, she reached out her hand in the fog of time and space, trying to grab something sadly and powerlessly, but in the end she couldn't grab anything.The milky white ocean wraps her thin and lonely body, and flies away to a strange era... It took her two years to learn the language and characters of this era. Everything has changed so much. This is a noisy and prosperous era.The highly prosperous civilization made alchemists no longer have a place to live, and the unprecedentedly large population was her guarantee of safety.She lives quietly among the bustling crowd and often feels deeply lonely.

Yes, there are a lot of smart people here.They know a lot, even more than her king, but she always feels that there is something missing from them.She never met anyone like her great king again. From a book called "Historical Records", she knew the fate of her king: relegation, house arrest, and execution.Killed with him, and his entire clan.The reason for the execution was that he attempted to collude with Chen Xi in rebellion. She was so angry that there were no tears left.She knew that he had no friendship with Chen Xisu, and that there had never been a rebel who was stupid enough to make trouble in the capital.However, history is always written by the victors, and time often turns lies into truth.

Now, in this world, only she knows the real reason why he is so talented and willing to kill him. She sat at the desk, spread out the paper, picked up the pen—she was still not used to holding the pen in this position—and meditated.She has lived carefully for a long time without revealing her identity.No matter how much time has passed, the greed in people's hearts still exists as it did thousands of years ago, perhaps even stronger.Once her identity is revealed, people with various motives will flock to her immediately, making her never have peace. But she had to start. Maybe Long Xi is hiding in a dark corner of the world, looking for new prey; maybe in a place she can't see, a new deal has started, and another outstanding young man with no ambitions... People are being lured into the trap by various temptations such as fame, fortune, power, and status...

She has to start.For the safety of civilization, for the entrustment of her king who died unjustly. She penned and wrote: It's cold and there's no sign of spring yet. A young man in thin clothes was sitting alone by the river fishing.Because of the cold, he shivered, hugged his curled legs tightly, and rested his chin on his knees.His eyes seemed to be looking at the floats on the water, but he seemed to be looking at nothing. In the dark forest in the distance, a man in black was staring at him coldly. ...
