558, Playing with the Timeline
"You..."
Inside the house, Ji Yanran stared at Bai Gui, her eyes full of anger.
"You ruined my innocence, and..."
She gritted her teeth.
After what happened today was spread out, how should she, Ji Yanran, behave? Although Bai Gui looked good, had a good family background, and was extremely talented. But she did not fall in love with Bai Gui.
But suddenly, when she spoke, she found that Bai Gui's body was illusory like a mirror.
"What's going on?"
"What happened to Zhao Li?"
She looked shocked and took a few steps back.
She had never seen such a strange scene.
"Whatever."
"After all, it's just a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water..."
Standing in the boudoir, Bai Gui shook his head, then pointed his finger forward. In an instant, time went back, the whole scene quickly went back, and then a moment later it scattered like a broken mirror.
...
Wei State, Daliang, Posthouse and Villa.
"Is this the way to transcend the timeline?" Bai Gui knelt on the ground, stroking the Kunlun mirror on the table with his right hand. The reason why he was "full of flaws" just now was because he used the power of the Kunlun mirror to experience the Golden Immortal realm in advance, and ran to Yahu Cottage with his "future body".
Stealing a sword?
This method is too low-end!
After mastering the wonders of time, you don't need to steal an ordinary object, just take it away. It's just that after the "present body" consciousness enters the "future body", it can't make too much trouble in the future world, so as not to backfire. So Bai Gui can only use a trivial spell to perfunctory Ji Yanran.
Deceive others first and then deceive yourself.
Otherwise, he has many ways to take away a mere sword without alarming Ji Yanran.
If he already has the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit. There is no need to be so troublesome... Just use magic power to fish out the future Gan Jiang sword in the long river of time.
Just for a Gan Jiang sword, doing this is indeed a bit of a waste of talent. However, using the Kunlun Mirror to master some of the power of the Golden Immortal in advance was what he had to do. Taking away the Ganjiang Sword of the future timeline was just a coincidence.
"Okay, Ji Yanran..."
Bai Gui shook his head.
The reason why he dreamed of Ji Yanran in the Julu Marquis Mansion was not only because Ji Yanran had the Ganjiang Sword of the Xunqin world in her hand, but also because of Zhao Li in this life. Zhao Li had been to Daliang, Wei State once. He met Ji Yanran by chance on the street and regarded her as a goddess, and he could not forget her day and night. This is the cause and effect of this life, so after he traveled to the future life, there will be a certain backlash.
Otherwise, with his current identity and status, how could he have feelings for a mortal woman.
Wu Wei was like this before, and Ji Yanran is the same now.
With the opportunity to transcend the timeline, he eliminated Zhao Li's cause and effect, and finally refined this life into a body for the Yang God to rely on, and no longer had to be shackled.
After realizing the feeling of transcending the timeline, Bai Gui silently chanted a few spells and grabbed the void. In an instant, a sword box appeared in his palm out of thin air.
This sword box is the sword box that Ji Yanran gave him in the future world.
With his realm, he could tell at a glance that the sword on the sword rack was fake. The reason for all the subsequent things was to let Ji Yanran personally hand over the Gan Jiang sword to him. Handing it over is not the same as taking it directly. Taking it directly, the cause and effect are too big.
It can be said that since entering Yahu Xiaozhu, every step was a deliberate trap set by him.
As for... the sword box.
There is still a sword box in Yahu Xiaozhu today, which is exactly the same as the one in his hand. It's just that he traveled through the timeline and took the future sword box from Ji Yanran. In other words, this sword box is a sword box from another parallel time and space.
Of course, in the world of Xunqin, there will only be one real sword box. It's just that the two sword boxes exist in different time and space, and the cause and effect are shared.
Opening the sword box, Bai Gui took out the long sword in the sword box. This long sword is also a priceless sword in the world of searching for relatives. He groaned for a moment, and the sword attached to the Ganjiang Fairy Sword in his hand, covering his Ganjiang Fairy Sword with a layer of shell.
"Now all that's left is to use the power in the Heshi Bi."
He said.
...
Dawn, Yahu Cottage.
Boudoir.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" The maid Yu'er knocked on the door and entered the room. Seeing Ji Yanran in a white shirt, her expression was a little lonely, and the sound of the piano was also sad and gloomy, she asked out loud.
Although Ji Yanran used to play sad piano music, her expression would not be like this today.
"Nothing, just a fantasy dream last night."
Ji Yanran sighed softly.
The dream last night was vivid, as if it were real. But she didn't know why she dreamed of "Zhao Li", and Zhao Li sneaked into her boudoir to steal the sword. What you think about during the day, you dream at night. She can only classify last night's dream into this category.
"Yu'er, look in the cupboard, is the sword box still there?"
She asked.
After failing in the last duel, she didn't know the value of the sword that Bai Gui wanted. But to be sure, she locked the sword in the sword box.
"Miss, the sword box is still there." Yu'er opened the cupboard and handed it over.
The sword box opened, and a long sword lay quietly in the box. Ji Yanran was stunned, "Yes, the sword is still there. The sword is still there..."
The dream was indeed a dream.
"Miss, do you still need to send out the invitations for the banquet in three days?"
Yu'er asked.
Due to Bai Gui's interference, the peaceful situation in Wei was immediately broken. Everyone knows that there will be a fight between dragons and tigers in the future. And this kind of situation is exactly what Ji Yanran Yahu Xiaozhu is looking forward to. Having hot spots and then predicting and discussing them is how Yahu Xiaozhu and Ji Yanran became famous all over the world. This time, it should be no exception.
"No need..."
Ji Yanran took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and started playing the piano again.
…
The next day, Zhao Guo, Gan Dan.
Not long after returning to the State of Zhao, about three to five days later, news came from the State of Wei that Lord Xinling had raised an army. Lord Xinling's retainers, on the grounds that they were not angry with the King of Wei for assassinating their lord, summoned five hundred followers as vanguards to attack the palace of the King of Wei. The next day, King Wei fled to Daliang.
Lord Xinling, on the other hand, led the crowd to settle the dispute and sent his retainers to "invite" King Wei to return to the capital to take charge of the overall situation.
As for the rebellion of the disciples, Lord Xinling excused it on the grounds that he did not know about it. Some people believed the words of Lord Xinling Wei Wuji, but most people responded with cold eyes.
Lord Xinling's reputation has plummeted.
In the State of Zhao, Bai Gui was also granted the title of Zhongmu Ling for his meritorious service as an envoy.
The territory of Zhao State is not large, which is different from the future unified dynasty. Just being a county magistrate is enough to be called a middle-level official.
At the same time, during this period, the State of Qin sent envoys to visit the State of Zhao several times, requesting to welcome back the proton Zhao Zheng. The State of Zhao could not agree because of the strength of the State of Qin.
However, although Zhao Guo agreed to the matter openly, in fact, he secretly sent assassins to intercept and kill Zhao Zheng.
As long as Zhao Zheng dies. The State of Qin will definitely start a struggle to establish a crown prince, and then it will be an opportunity for the State of Zhao. Wu Shiluo knew this secret and sent Xiang Shaolong and a group of Wu family masters to escort Zhao Zheng back to the country.
"Wushi Luo has a scheming plan and sent Xiang Shaolong to escort Zhao Zheng in order to gain a place in Qin State so that he can betray Zhao State in the future..."
Late at night, Juluhou Mansion, study. Zhao Mu glanced at Bai Gui and spoke slowly.
Now Bai Gui has reached the point where he has to pay attention to him. Although he was only an envoy to Zhongmou, after his mission to Wei, Bai Gui's reputation spread far and wide, and more and more followers became his followers. If "Zhao Li" hadn't been his only son, he would have been wary of this new opponent appearing in the Zhao court.
"The king wants me to take charge of this matter..."
"Assassinate Zhao Zheng!"
Juluhou Zhao Mu said with a gloomy expression.
Although he was not flattered by Qin, assassinating Zhao Zheng was a bit too dangerous. Once Zhao Zheng dies, if Qin Yiren knows who the murderer is, he will definitely order his envoys to threaten Zhao to hand over the assassination leader. The state of Zhao is weak, and maybe Zhao Wangdan will hand him over when the time comes.
In addition, even if Zhao Wangdan would not do this, but... assassinating Zhao Zheng is definitely a difficult matter, and the gain outweighs the loss.
"Father, I have a way."
When Bai Gui saw this, he groaned.
"oh?"
"Is there any way? Tell me quickly." Zhao Mu looked happy and said hurriedly. Sure enough, Bai Gui did not disappoint him. He was worthy of being a famous talent in Zhao State.
"This method is quite simple."
Bai Gui smiled and said, "There are some things that Lord Xinling can do, isn't there something that we can't do?"
"Lord Xinling?" Zhao Mu's face changed slightly when he heard this. What Lord Xinling did recently was regicide. Even though he allowed Wei Wangyu to escape, it was still regicide after all.
He is the illegitimate son of Lord Chun Shen. He came to Wei State with the intention of disrupting the Zhao court and was treated as a pawn of Lord Chun Shen. So he is not loyal to Zhao Wangdan. But regicide... he had never done such a horrific thing.
"In the name of Wushi Luo..." Bai Gui said calmly, "Wushi Luo sent Xiang Shaolong to protect Zhao Zheng, which was just a reason to criticize him. Wushi Luo wanted to defect to Qin, so he assassinated the king. Use it as a certificate of surrender, and the king can use it to wipe out the Wu Mansion. "
"You mean... it's fake and real?"
Zhao Mu's eyes lit up.
The betrayal of Wu Shiluo and Wu Mansion has left Zhao Wangdan with a knot in his throat. It's just that Wushi Luo's speculation is not easy to be tried openly. After all, there are many ministers in the Zhao court who are inclined to surrender to Qin. But if Wu Shiluo was sent to assassinate King Zhao at this moment, it would be equivalent to breaking a taboo. The eradication of Wujiapu would become a matter of course, and the ministers would not dare to discuss it.
And he could also use this fake assassination to really assassinate King Zhao.
The person who assassinated King Zhao was the Wu clan, and the Wu family's influence would definitely be eradicated. And Xinping Jun Lianpo and others used the assassination of the king to eradicate political opponents outside the court, which can be said to be flawless...
After this battle, who in the court would dare to go against Zhao Mu?
By then, he, Zhao Mu, would really have all the power.
"But before that, the marriage between Princess Qian and I must be completed as soon as possible." Bai Gui nodded, "If you want to control the political affairs of the Zhao Kingdom, your identity as a father is not enough. You must be a member of the royal family. , and people from the royal family..."
He didn't say the rest.
There are many elders in King Zhao's royal family, but these people are feared by King Zhao and are not as powerful as Juluhou Zhao Mu. And if he marries Zhao Qian, it will be equivalent to becoming a member of the royal family. It is a logical thing to use this to regent Zhao's court, and he can even win the support of some royal families.
With the support of the royal family, Lian Po and other foreign ministers could only give up.
…
Outside Ganden City, on the way to Qin.
"Master Xiang, what do you want to teach me today?" Zhao Pan, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at Xiang Shaolong, bowed and asked, "Pan has already learned yesterday's swordsmanship."
"You are Zhao Zheng now, not Zhao Pan." Xiang Shaolong reminded him. He had already found Zhao Zheng, the future Qin Shi Huang, but Zhao Zheng was a short-lived ghost and died unfortunately. He had no choice but to find Zhao Pan to replace Zhao Zheng in an attempt to get away with it.
Zhao Pan's inquiring eyes passed over, and Xiang Shaolong groaned, "I will teach you to analyze the situation of the six countries next. When you enter Qin, it should be useful..."
After that, he talked freely.
Zhao Pan nodded repeatedly after listening, and he admired Xiang Shaolong more and more.
After the lecture, Xiang Shaolong walked out of the carriage, wiped the cold sweat on his head, and returned to his carriage. He took out a book from his package, which read "The Great Qin Empire". "Fortunately, there is this novel written by Bai Gui, otherwise with my historical knowledge, how can I be qualified to teach the future first emperor..."
He was very glad that he brought this novel before crossing.
He was a street thug who couldn't read boring history books, but he could read this novel about the pre-Qin period, which was close to history, with great interest.
"But who is this Zhao Li...?"
"There is no record of him in this book."
Xiang Shaolong sighed.
The forces within the territory of Zhao State made him dizzy. There was no Guo Kai here, but there was a Julu Hou Zhao Mu. There were also people like Wu Shiluo from Wujiabao, whom he had never heard of. However, it was normal for reality to be different from historical facts, after all, the pre-Qin period was too far away.
"There is also Zhao Zheng, and now Zhao Pan. I don't know if history will change after Zhao Pan succeeds to the throne. If history changes, will I disappear? No longer exist?"
He thought of the time and space paradox.
If the past is changed, the future may disappear. In the pre-Qin period, although he had a good status and could enter and leave the homes of kings, princes, generals and ministers, there was no material prosperity like Hong Kong Island. It was okay for a while, but after staying for a long time, he was bored.
"Forget it, why do I think so much? Let's just read Bai Gui's novel."
"The novel he wrote is really good."
Xiang Shaolong opened the title page of "The Great Qin Empire" and began to read it word by word. He had read the novel once before, but he only glanced at it and didn't memorize it.
On the other side, on the high slope of the mountain.
Bai Gui had been waiting for a long time, and was stunned when he saw this scene.
"The time and space over Hong Kong Island is the world I first lived in?"
He was speechless.
The author's name of the novel "The Great Qin Empire" in Xiang Shaolong's hand is indeed him. He remembered that this was the first novel he wrote when he went to study in Japan. With this novel, he became famous in Japan. Unexpectedly, when he became an immortal, he saw this book again.
...
ps: Yesterday's plot, uh..., I was a little inconsiderate. Please forgive me.
