The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 128 Turning Yi Xiaochuan into a Chess Piece
"Both my dears, have you all heard about it? Your Majesty has recruited a beautiful concubine Li."

"I've heard it too. If you want to talk about this empress, it's really a country and a city."

"Yes, I heard that she is from Donghu."

"No, it's from Yuezhi."

"You are all wrong. The latest news I got is from the Huns."

In a certain wine shop in Xianyang City, many drinkers chatted enthusiastically, and the topic centered on the concubine Li who was recently accepted by the First Emperor.

A handsome young man in narrow-sleeved tight clothes was already half drunk at the moment, lying on the desk.

Hearing everyone's discussion, he couldn't help saying loudly: "You are all wrong, she is from Tu'an."

Hearing the young man's words, the other drinkers were all puzzled.

"Tuan? I haven't heard of it. Is there such a country?"

"Impossible, he drank too much."

Hearing this, the young man picked up a wine bowl, raised his hand and threw it at the person who said he drank too much, shouting: "You just drank too much."

The wine bowl missed the person, but this extremely provocative action made the person furious. He got up and wanted to make a move, but was dissuaded by his companion at the same table.

The young man arrogantly pointed at that person and laughed. He really hoped that someone would come to find trouble, so that he could vent himself.

At this moment, a voice that was not in a hurry suddenly sounded in the wine shop.

"Tu'an, located a hundred miles north of Guangyang County, is a small frontier country with a population of less than 20 and soldiers of less than [-]."

The drinkers in the restaurant suddenly realized when they heard this.

"So that's the case, no wonder I haven't heard of it."

"I never imagined that such a tiny country could raise a stunning beauty like Empress Li."

The young man didn't care about the discussions of the drinkers, but looked at the man who had just walked into the restaurant in astonishment.

"Old Gao?"

There is no one else in Daqin who can call this title except Yi Xiaochuan.

He stood up, his eyes turned red instantly, he staggered towards Li Mu, grabbed his shoulders, and said excitedly, "Old Gao, it's great that you're fine."

Regarding Yi Xiaochuan's reaction, Li Mu felt nothing in his heart, smiled lightly, patted his arm, and said, "I'm fine, but you seem to be fine."

Yi Xiaochuan's face was full of bitterness, and he said: "It's a long story, you seem to be doing well?"

Li Mu looked around and said, "Let's go to the wing room to chat."

Yi Xiaochuan originally drank in the lobby, but there are side rooms in this restaurant.

The wing room of the restaurant is not big, less than ten square meters, with a low table in the middle and nothing else.

Li Mu asked the waiter to serve a bottle of wine, moved the dishes Yi Xiaochuan ordered into the wing room, then closed the door, and sat down beside the short table.

Li Mu poured himself a bowl of wine, walked with Yi Xiaochuan for a while, then put down the bowl and said, "I've heard a little about you, and I have a good relationship with Meng Tian, ​​and I can usually get some news."

Yi Xiaochuan frowned slightly, and said, "Why do you have a good relationship with that guy? What is your identity now?"

Li Mudan smiled and said, "The title is made by the youngest. No. 15 of the Qin Dynasty's [-]th rank military title system belongs to the Shangqing class and is only three ranks lower than Meng Tian."

"The position is Zhan Shi of Fusu's son's mansion, which is equivalent to Fusu's chief steward, only under Fusu."

Yi Xiaochuan stared at him dumbfounded, as if he didn't know him, he didn't turn his mind for a while.

"How did you get to this point?"

Li Mu said calmly, "I dedicate Takahashi's saddle, stirrups, and horseshoes to Qin Shihuang."

"What?" Yi Xiaochuan jumped up in shock, and said anxiously: "Are you crazy? These things only appeared in the Western Han Dynasty. Are you not afraid of changing history if you mess around like this?"

Li Mu said calmly, "So what if history is changed?"

Yi Xiaochuan said: "If history changes, the future will be completely different, and we are likely to disappear."

Li Mu looked up at him, and said, "I donated these things nearly two years ago, and they have already equipped the whole army by now."

"Based on this, the Qin army won a few big victories on the Longxi border. Have we disappeared?"

"..."

Yi Xiaochuan was dumbfounded, and sat down again, they didn't disappear, wouldn't the future change just because these things appeared earlier?
Li Mu said calmly again: "And this is nothing like changing history, I plan to change it more thoroughly."

Yi Xiaochuan said nervously: "What else do you want to do?"

Li Mu's face darkened, and he said in a concentrated voice: "I want to kill Liu Bang and make Han Gaozu cease to exist."

Yi Xiaochuan said decisively: "This is absolutely not possible. If it is just a few tools, the future may not change, but if something goes wrong with an important historical figure, the future will definitely be changed."

Li Mu sighed and shook his head, "Xiao Chuan, Xiao Chuan, I only have a junior high school diploma, but you have gone to college anyway, but I feel that you are worse than me in some common sense."

Yi Xiaochuan was taken aback, and said, "What common sense?"

Li Mudao: "Even if you haven't learned it, have you never seen it on the Internet? You don't know what bifurcated timelines and parallel worlds are?"

Yi Xiaochuan was shocked all over, and a feeling of enlightenment welled up in his heart.

Even many ordinary people knew what Li Mu said, but he just didn't think about it at all.

Yes, his personal experience has proved that time travel is real, so in the past and future, he and Gao Yao will never be the only ones who experience time travel.

But history has not changed at all, why?
That's because when the traveler travels to ancient times and changes the history, the timeline will diverge from there, forming a parallel universe, and the future will also go in another unknown direction.

But in the original timeline, history still develops according to the original track, and there will naturally be no changes in the future.

This conclusion makes Yi Xiaochuan inexplicably excited. In this way, he doesn't have to worry about history at all, because he and Lao Gao will never disappear no matter what.

As for the future, what does the future have to do with them?
Maybe they can't go back to the future at all. After decades of life, they will die in this ancient era.

Tang Wushan asked the two to go there after 60 years. Whether they can live to 60 years is still a question.

Li Mu continued: "Actually, from the moment we traveled to Qin Dynasty, we have already been a part of history, and we are no different from people like Qin Dynasty."

"We just have more advanced insights than them. In fact, there are many such people in history."

"Let's not talk about it, let's talk about Wang Mang of the Han Dynasty. It is said on the Internet that he is a time traveler."

"In the past, you might still be able to talk nonsense, but now that time travel has happened to you, do you still think it is nonsense?"

"In addition to Wang Mang, there are also people like Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng. Do you really believe that they can calculate things in the next 1000 years by what kind of divination?"

Regarding Li Mu's words, Yi Xiaochuan didn't know how to refute at all, but he suddenly realized that the Gao Yao in front of him seemed to be different from before.

He looked up and down Li Mu in amazement, and said, "Old Gao, are you really Lao Gao? It is impossible for Lao Gao to know so much before."

Li Mu's face darkened, and he said, "Do you really think that I'm just a cook who doesn't know anything but can only cook?"

Yi Xiaochuan smiled awkwardly, and said, "So you used to hide it?"

Li Mu said angrily: "At any rate, I also went to junior high school, studied history, and worked in the archaeological team for more than ten years. I will always learn something."

"Usually I also surf the Internet, but I will soon forget the things I read before, but now I am enlightened, and the things I forgot before come to my mind clearly."

Yi Xiaochuan said in surprise: "Enlightened? What do you mean?"

Li Mu slightly lost his mind and said: "I met a strange man who not only saved me, but also passed on some miraculous things to me."

"Especially my brain, after being manipulated by him, I have a lot of memories."

"I'm not sure if it's a memory that I've seen or heard before, but I just forgot, or it's a foreign memory at all."

Yi Xiaochuan asked curiously: "What kind of strange man is that, what kind of person is he?"

Li Mudao: "It's an old man, a strange old man. He said his name was Guan Keng. He took me out of the slave camp, and said he wanted to pass on something to me, so he put his hand on my head."

"I passed out at the time, and when I woke up, he was gone, but I found that there were many things in my mind."

Yi Xiaochuan was dumbfounded when he heard that, and said in astonishment: "Old Gao, you have met a god!"

Li Mu pretended to be puzzled and said, "God, what kind of god? Is there a god named Guan Keng in China?"

Yi Xiaochuan said a little excitedly: "Guan Keng is Peng Zu, do you know Peng Zu? The originator of Chinese cooking, sexology, and qigong."

Li Mu also had a look of shock on his face, and said, "You mean Peng Zu who lived for more than 800 years?"

Yi Xiaochuan patted the table and said: "Yes, now it seems that he has not only lived for more than 800 years, but 3000 years, this old man is definitely a fairy."

Li Mu frowned and said, "But why did he save me, and help me open up and pass on my skills?"

Yi Xiaochuan smiled and said: "Who knows, maybe he likes you, please tell me what's going on."

Li Mu's face gradually darkened, and he said slowly, "After we parted that day, I was sent to the official slave camp..."

Li Mu told Gao Yao's experience in detail, listening to his narration, Yi Xiaochuan felt full of sympathy.

Unexpectedly, Lao Gao has suffered so much. Compared with him, he is really very lucky.

If he hadn't met Master and Brother Yu when he just crossed over, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come back alive from the north.

"At that time, I hadn't drank a sip of water for seven or eight days. I felt like I was going to die. Then the group of eunuchs came in and wanted to cleanse me."

"Just when the eunuch was about to strike, I saw a white shadow suddenly flash into the room, killing those eunuchs and Qin soldiers with three strikes. It was an old man with white clothes and white hair. He rescued me. .”

"Beside the Wei River outside the city, I asked who he was, and he said his name was Keng Keng. Then he stopped talking, just looked at me and said a few 'good' words, and told me to pass on something to me, so he took his hand. Press it on top of my head."

"I passed out at that time, and when I woke up, he was no longer there. I found that there were many things in my mind."

"I'm sure I've seen some of them on the Internet before, some of them I've heard about in the archaeological team, and some of them I really don't know where they came from."

After listening to what Li Mu said, Yi Xiaochuan was speechless for a long time, he couldn't imagine what kind of suffering Gao Yao would suffer if it was probably because Peng Zu's people didn't show up.

If he really became a eunuch, would they still have a chance to sit and talk together like now?

Thinking of this, Yi Xiaochuan couldn't help being afraid for a while, and at the same time he also thought of something.

He looked at Li Mu solemnly, and asked, "Old Gao, why do you have to kill Liu Bang?"

Li Mu's eyes turned cold, and he said coldly: "Haven't you figured it out yet? The reason why we became corvees, one became an official slave, and the other went to build the Great Wall, was all because of him."

Yi Xiaochuan also focused his eyes, and said, "Are you sure? He and I are sworn brothers, and it's the first time you two have met. There is no grudge or enmity. Why did he want to harm us?"

Li Mu said slowly in a low voice: "I have thoroughly investigated the matter. At that time, two of the corvees he brought ran away, so he couldn't deal with the government."

"So he colluded with other corvée, collected a sum of money to buy us drinks, and got us drunk."

"He took the opportunity to write our names on the corvee roster, and without our knowledge, sent it to the Qin soldiers who received the corvée."

"At that time, he originally wanted you to be an official slave and let me build the Great Wall, but he thought that you were more capable and clever. You might be able to rise as an official slave, and he would trouble him then."

"So he changed us, because those who went to repair the Great Wall rarely come back alive, and he just rushed to kill you."

After listening to Li Mu's words, Yi Xiaochuan trembled with anger, and said furiously: "This bastard, thanks to me treating him as a brother, he actually wants my life."

Li Muzhen smiled and said: "Brother? Don't be ridiculous, what kind of thing is Liu Bang, you can get a general idea from the history books."

"This is a shameless bastard. It's because Xiang Yu wants face and he is shameless, so he lost to him."

"Do you think he wants to kill you just because he is afraid that you will cause trouble for him? Just because Lu Zhi likes you, you have long been a thorn in his side."

"Lu Pheasant?" Yi Xiaochuan was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized that he did not doubt Li Mu's words at all, because jealousy can really distort a person.

Li Mu looked at him contemptuously and said, "You are still a college student, but you don't even know the famous Empress Lu in history, and you dared to provoke him before."

"A woman like Lu Zhi, if you marry her after you provoke her, she will definitely be your strongest virtuous wife, but if she hates you, she will also be the most terrifying enemy."

Yi Xiaochuan said with a face full of shame: "I didn't realize this at all before. When I realized that Lu Zhi was the Empress Lu, I had already provoked him, so I insisted on introducing Liu Bang to her."

Li Mu suddenly said meaningfully: "Now do you understand?"

Yi Xiaochuan asked puzzled, "What do you understand?"

Li Mudao: "The words I said before have been part of history since we crossed over."

"Think about it, if it weren't for you, Lu Gong's family would have died at the hands of bandits on the way to Pei County."

"Without you, Liu Bang would not even be able to enter the gate of Lu Mansion even if Lu Gong's family is alive."

"If it weren't for us, Liu Bang wouldn't be able to find a replacement for the two corvees this time. Either he would be put in jail or his head would be beheaded."

"You have been participating in history, creating history, and promoting the development of history. You are in the game but don't know it, and you always think about not changing history."

Yi Xiaochuan suddenly realized, and he said in a daze: "So, it is not accidental that we traveled to the Qin Dynasty, but a kind of necessity."

"Because if we don't travel through time, history won't be the history we know."

Li Mu nodded and said: "You finally understand, so don't worry about history anymore, anyway, we can't go back to the future, we can only go back to the future, let's settle down, Liu Bang, I'm sure."

This time Yi Xiaochuan did not express any objection. After knowing what Liu Bang did to them, even if he was a virgin, it was impossible for him to have half a favor for Liu Bang.

"Whatever you want! Don't say that we can't go back to the future, even if we can go back, I won't go back."

Li Mu pretended to be puzzled and said, "Why?"

Yi Xiaochuan said in a daze, "Because I fell in love with a girl."

Li Mu smiled and said, "You're in love again."

The word "again" made Yi Xiaochuan a little embarrassed, but he said seriously: "This time is different, this time the love is unforgettable, this feeling is something I have never experienced before."

Li Mudao: "Really? So this happened in the past two years. I've finished talking about my own experience, and you haven't talked about yours yet. Let's hear it."

The expression on Yi Xiaochuan's face became extremely gentle, and he said slowly: "Her name is Yu Shu, that is, the concubine Li recently recruited by Qin Shihuang, she..."

Although Li Mu knows everything, he can't show that he knows everything, so it is necessary for Yi Xiaochuan to say it again.

After hearing what he said, Li Mu sighed again and again: "It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over now."

Yi Xiaochuan's heart tightened, and he asked, "What's the end?"

Li Mu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Forget about her! It's impossible for you to be with her, and she doesn't have a good life for a few years."

Yi Xiaochuan turned pale with shock, and said anxiously: "What do you mean? Please explain clearly."

Li Mudao: "Don't you understand? First of all, she is already Concubine Qin Li, so it is impossible for you to be together."

"Secondly, this year is the 30th year of Qin Shihuang, which is 217 BC. Qin Shihuang died in 210 BC."

"In other words, Qin Shihuang still has seven years to live. If Concubine Li fails to give birth to an heir before he dies, she will be buried in Qinhuang's mausoleum."

"I have seen Qin Shihuang, and judging by Peng Zu's medical skills left in my mind, it is impossible for him to have another child, so Yushu is dead."

After listening to Li Mu's words, Yi Xiaochuan felt his hands and feet go cold, and his whole body collapsed.

He fell to the ground and murmured in despair, "No, no, I can't let her die..."

A gleam flashed in Li Mu's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. After so much preparation, he was finally about to take the bait.

Yuan Gao Yao hated Yi Xiaochuan so much that he did not hesitate to die with him in the end.

Li Mu also gritted his teeth with hatred for Yi Xiaochuan when watching the drama, so how could he be so kind, to let go of the past with him, and to treat him as if he didn't know anything?
He came to see Yi Xiaochuan today, he had no good intentions.

Even if you can't make him miserable and miserable, let him be your pawn to help you fulfill your lofty obsessions.

Yi Xiaochuan suddenly grabbed Li Mu's arm, as if he had grasped the last straw, and said anxiously: "Old Gao, since you have already enlightened, you must be smarter than me now."

"Think about it for me, think about it for me, how can I save Yu Shu."

Li Mu frowned, pondered for a moment, and under Yi Xiaochuan's hopeful eyes, he said solemnly: "Xiaochuan, there is a saying that people are not ruthless, they cannot stand firmly."

"It's not that I despise you. This is an era when one's life is worthless, but you still stick to your own modern moral concepts. It's really stupid."

"You want to be with Yushu, I have two ways, but the most basic point of these two ways is to be ruthless, otherwise you'd better wash up and sleep!"

Yi Xiaochuan really had a ruthless look on his face when he heard the words, he gritted his teeth and said, "You say, as long as I can be with Yushu, I will dare to do anything."

Li Mudao: "Don't be so full of words first, the first method is more conservative and easier to implement, but the sacrifice is too great."

Yi Xiaochuan said in a condensed voice: "As long as I can save my life, I am not afraid of any sacrifice."

Li Mudao: "The way is, you cut yourself into the palace and become a eunuch, and then I will help you with some operations and arrange you with Yushu, so that you can be together every day."

Yi Xiaochuan's face darkened, and he said without thinking about it: "You can directly talk about the second method!"

Li Mu grinned, and said, "Just kidding, let's liven up the atmosphere. Tell me this method first, and the second method will be easier for you to accept."

"The second method is to become a confidante in a rage."

Yi Xiaochuan's eyes flashed, and he said, "You mean...to rebel?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "That's right, you pull up a rebel army, and I'll find a way to help you get money and food, subsidize you secretly, and at the same time help you as an internal response."

"As long as you overthrow Daqin, won't you be able to enter the palace and take Yushu away?"

"And you can even establish the Han Dynasty instead of Liu Bang. Although the person who established the Han Dynasty has changed, at least this dynasty still exists, so that the original history can be maintained to the greatest extent."

"I have an idea. Since there is such an immortal immortal as Peng Zu in this world, and he also taught me the art of refining Qi and guiding, maybe we can also cultivate immortality in the future?"

"I really want to see Gao Lan again. If history is greatly changed, although we will not disappear, Gao Lan and Dachuan may not appear again."

"If we can maintain the historical development as much as possible, maybe they will still be born in the future, maybe I can see Gao Lan again."

After listening to Li Mu's words, Yi Xiaochuan fell silent. It seemed that he was the only way to rebel against Daqin and break into the palace to snatch Yushu.

As for the establishment of the Han Dynasty, if the Qin Dynasty can be overthrown, it will be a matter of convenience. If Yu Shu can be made a queen, it will be a good thing.

But the rebellion... how many people will die because of me?

Yep, Yi Xiaochuan's Heart of Mary began to attack again.

He was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and said: "Qin Shihuang is alive for a day, and Daqin is a monolith. It is impossible for me to beat Daqin."

Li Mu hated the iron and said: "Why can't we win? Don't forget that we are from modern times. If we can't get other things out, why can't we get out gunpowder?"

"Great Qin has many generals and advanced weapons, so what? No matter how advanced it is, can it surpass firearms?"

Yi Xiaochuan smiled wryly and said: "Impossible, the technological level of this era cannot make guns and artillery at all."

Li Mudao: "Who said that we must build guns and cannons? Even if they are muskets and cannons, their range is not as good as that of the Qin Nu, so there is no advantage."

"Can't you have a combination of ancient and modern? Can you tie a tube of gunpowder to the arrow and make it a bursting arrow?"

"Cannons can't be made, have you ever heard of 'heartless guns'?"

"It's just a gasoline barrel with a layer of iron. Let's make the iron thicker and make it into a cannon barrel to shoot explosives, okay?"

"Use your brain! As long as you can figure out a lot of things, a million Qin troops will not be a problem at all. This is completely a dimensionality reduction attack."

"After conquering the country, destroy those things, destroy all relevant documents, and ask historians not to write those things into history books, so history will not be greatly changed."

Yi Xiaochuan wiped his face with both hands, and said: "Old Gao, give me some time, let me think about it, let me think about it."

Li Mu shrugged, and said, "I don't care, I'm just giving you advice, and it's not that I want to save the woman I love."

"Anyway, with what I have now, whether in Daqin or any other country, I can live well."

"You are the only person I care about in this era. Anyway, if you need it, I will do my best to help you. If you don't need it, we will just muddle along."

After listening to Li Mu's words, Yi Xiaochuan put down his hands, looked at him movedly and said, "Thank you, Lao Gao, fortunately, I still have a brother like you in this era, otherwise I really don't know how to live."

Li Mu sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Thank you even to me, you should think about it for yourself! After thinking about it, come to the Young Master's Mansion to find me, no matter what decision you make, I will support you."

After speaking, he got up and opened the door, and left the restaurant. After walking out of the restaurant, a sneer appeared on his face.
