"This is why we old guys got together." Li Er said.

"After I originally knew that the end of the world was coming, I thought about leaving the last moments of my life to my closest relatives. It was because of this and the death of Wu Zixu that I decided to resign and return to my hometown forever.

Not serving as an official."

Sun Wu said: "But since God has given us this ability that ordinary people cannot know, it must have its purpose. Maybe we, the people who have entered the realm of heaven and humans, are the important force to save the world."

save the world?

Wow?! Do you want to be so good?

"In the past few years, we have lived in seclusion in Shennong Stream to find ways to fight against the apocalypse." Chang Sangjun said, shaking the herbs on his body.

After he changed into Ouyang's clothes, he had more herbs planted on his body, but he also looked sloppier.

The white short sleeves are now covered with bits and pieces of mud, as if they were fished out of a quagmire, which makes people feel quite uncomfortable.

"Whether it is cultivating drugs to make people sober and calm, or educating the people, or treating madness, we are trying our best to gain knowledge." Li Er said, taking out a few bamboo slips from his sleeves and placing them on the table.

"Tao" and "De" two classics.

"There are also ways to avoid famine...such as the strange foods eaten in Shennong Stream." Chang Sangjun shook his head helplessly: "But it is a pity that the effects of these attempts are minimal."

It turns out that those foods were cultivated by Chang Sangjun, which is really amazing...

"Until one day, a man from outside the world appeared." Sun Wu pointed at Ouyang, which made Ouyang's heart skip a beat.

Ouyang looked around and asked, "Ahem, how many of you think I'm an extraterrestrial?"

"Exactly." Sun Wu nodded.

Li Er explained: "After entering the realm of unity between man and nature, the perception of things outside the world will become more acute. When Ouyang first came to Shennong Stream and stood among us, he was like a group of Central Plains people.

Standing as conspicuous as a Kunlun slave."

Kunlun slaves are black people. This metaphor is almost like a black person standing among a group of Chinese people.

This is really not a wonderful metaphor...

But it makes sense - why these big guys are so relieved about someone like me whose identity is unclear...

No, no! Shouldn’t we be more worried?!

"Wait a minute! Since I am a person from outside the world, and the demonic energy also comes from the outer world, then... shouldn't I be treated as an existence that cannot be avoided like the demonic energy?"

"Haha... we old guys can still tell whether it's human or demonic." Li Er touched his mustache and said,

"When I first met my little friend, I just thought that since he was a visitor from the outer world, he would definitely return to the outer world one day, so I didn't pay much attention to his identity.

At that time, I just wanted to teach my children my knowledge. If the end of the world comes, I won’t lose what I have learned and inherit.”

Ouyang nodded.

Indeed, he once read in a novel by a certain boss that when a civilization is about to be destroyed, it will do everything it can to compress all the knowledge, culture, and history of the civilization into a small one.

in memory.

They want to leave something in this world, and they don't want to be forgotten by the world.

That book is well written and vividly depicts the tragedy and struggle of a civilization in the last days.

Ouyang said in a solemn tone: "I will find the right person to pass on the knowledge I have learned in the past few days."

"Of course, this is just the last resort." Li Er kept tapping the scarred turtle shell with his fingers and said to Ouyang, "But now, things have turned around a little bit."

Can you speak without gasping for breath? Can you finish speaking in one breath?

It was tragic just now, but now there is a solution.

Isn’t the reversal too ordinary?!

Ouyang looked at Li Er, waiting for the next words.

"Hope comes from outside."

…………………………

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

Just when Ouyang faced the Spring and Autumn World that had been transformed beyond recognition by demons, the people of Yingdu fell into even greater panic.

The young master is wanted in the whole city!

As the eldest son of the King of Chu, Prince Xiong Zhong was always kind to others. He was a Taoist, learned from Confucianism, and had excellent battlefield martial arts skills.

Both the nobles of Yingdu and the common people regard the young master as the most suitable successor to the King of Chu.

But now, news came out from the palace that the young master planned to rush into the king's palace and had evil intentions. The city guards were ordered to close the city gate and go to arrest the young master. The nobles and people in the city were not allowed to harbor him, otherwise they would be punished as rebels.

Ordinary ordinary people have no feelings about this order. At most, they can only express a few sighs.

They live at the bottom of Yingdu, and the changes in the upper class do not have much impact on their daily lives. They farm the land when they should, and set up stalls when they should.

Even if the young master really hides, he cannot hide in their home.

For the nobles, this is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.

More than 50% of the nobles of Chu State lived in Yingdu.

Although these nobles have their own fiefdoms and their own armies, most of them are in virgin forests that have not yet been developed, or they are located in borderlands and are often invaded by southern barbarians.

The prosperity of Yingdu is far beyond that of their fiefdom, so they can always find various reasons to stay in Yingdu and enjoy themselves.

But now, the royal capital ordered Yingdu to be sealed off, which frightened them a little.

They didn't care which young master was about to be arrested, or how long it had been since the King of Chu went to court, or even who the King of Chu had replaced. What they cared about was their own safety.

They are not as powerful as the three great nobles, Qu, Jing, and Zhao. They are just some small and medium-sized nobles. If the one in the palace wants to attack the small and medium-sized nobles, the young master will only have an excuse...

At the same time, two of the three major nobles who were regarded as "industry benchmarks" by the small nobles were actually caught off guard by the changing situation in Yingdu, but they were not as panicked as they were.

Jingyang, the patriarch of the Jing family and a senior official of the Chu State.

Zhaoshe, the patriarch of the Zhao clan, was also a senior official of the Chu State.

As the top courtiers, the two of them had large and prosperous fiefdoms, but they had to always be with the king due to their duties.

As soon as he received the notice from the palace, Zhaoshe hurriedly came to Jingyang's mansion in Yingdu.

"Today's Yingdu... was probably made by Qu Xie and Bai Gongsheng through their training." Jing Yang said to Zhao She as he drew back his attendants.

Zhao She frowned and said in a rather unhappy tone: "I don't know what these two people are trying to do. Now that Wu has been destroyed and Yue is unable to govern Wu, it is a God-given opportunity for us to intervene. If we don't take this opportunity to invade more

Land, I don’t know when the next time will be.”

"It is indeed a good opportunity... but their purpose should be to attack Zheng

Country..." Jingyang took a sip of tea and analyzed, "Bai Gongsheng is the direct grandson of King Ping and the son of Gongzi Jian. Gongzi Jian fled the Zheng State and was killed by the Zheng people.

In the past few years, he has been training his soldiers and horses in Baidi. He wanted to attack Zheng Guo, but he was blocked by Ling Yin Gong Sunxi several times. Now that Gongsun Xi is dead, he may be ready to take action.

In fact, this is also a good opportunity. The State of Yue is busy cleaning up the legacy of the State of Wu and has no intention of harassing the State of Chu. If the State of Chu does not seize this opportunity, and wait until the State of Yue calms down, there will be no chance to attack the State of Zheng.

Moreover, the mother of the King of Chu is the daughter of the King of Yue, Yue Ji. I don’t believe that Gou Jian can’t use the topic to his advantage.”

"Isn't this nonsense! Bai Gongsheng only knows about revenge, and Qu Xie is also following behind to do this nonsense?! No matter what we do, we will never be able to sit in that position. What does he want by letting Bai Gongsheng be the king of Chu?

!”

"Probably it's for his grandson..." Jingyang sighed, "It is said that Qu Yanji is only twenty-eight years old, but she is as exquisite as a virgin, with ice muscles and jade bones that can be broken by a blow, even compared to Shi Yiguang. The current king is

When you are in your prime of life, most likely... you will be pregnant with an heir."

"But Bai Gongsheng is willing?..." Zhaoshe suddenly realized, "So it turns out that Bai Gongsheng has no heirs. It is said that he was injured when he was exiled to Zheng State. Now he is bent on revenge against Zheng State. This is probably the reason."

"It's almost the same." Jingyang nodded, "One wants to attack the state of Zheng, and the other wants to make his grandson the king of Chu. If Bai Gongsheng becomes the king of Chu, he will probably be like this."

"In other words, the king is imprisoned in the palace now, and those edicts were all issued by Duke Bai Sheng?" Zhao She asked.

"That's probably the case."

"These two bastards did such a big thing and left us behind." Zhaoshe hammered his palm hard with his hand and looked at Jingyang, "Jingyang, you have always been smarter than me.

Analyze and analyze, why hasn’t Bai Gongsheng claimed to be king yet?”

Jingyang stroked his beard, which was not that long, and said: "Probably he will wait for Qu Yanji to give birth to a son... Then he will call himself King of Chu, and then make Qu Yanji's son his son.

He is the direct grandson of King Ping, and it is justifiable for him to establish himself as King of Chu. He also appointed Qu Yanji's son as his son, and he took care of the veterans of King Zhao. No matter how you say it, it can be justified."

"Then we just watch them like this..." Zhao She was a little unwilling.

"Oh, of course it's impossible." Jingyang snorted coldly, his eyes gradually becoming sharper, "The Qu family's desire to be the dominant family and to be superior to the King of Chu is simply wishful thinking."

"Yes! I can't swallow this sigh of relief that our two families are left behind to do such a big thing!" Zhaoshe looked at Jingyang and asked, "Then what should we do? How about contacting the family and sending troops to serve the king?"

"No, no, we are too dangerous at this juncture." Jingyang quickly waved his hand to stop, "Qu Xie and Xiong Sheng are definitely staring at us. We must not irritate each other at this time. And whether the king is dead or alive, we

It’s also unknown.”

"Didn't some Confucian scholars come to the palace to see the king before? How could he not know whether he is dead or alive?" Zhao She didn't believe it. "Although these Confucian scholars are stupid in reading, they are not like the dead and the living."

Can’t you tell the difference?”

"That's not necessarily true... maybe he found a substitute, maybe he used some other witchcraft..." Jingyang said, seeming to have thought of something, "Zhao She, do you know where the national master Zhu Ji is?

"

"It seems to be in Shouchun's medical clinic, right? They are preparing to write a book on the science of 'witch doctors'."

"I wish he was not in Yingdu?" Jingyang looked at the tea in the cup and remained silent for a long time.

"Did you think of anything else?"
