Travel through the long dream millennium

It had already been roasted to a scorched mass, and now it was still rolling around on the ground covered with ashes. Gu Changli lost the desire to have a meal of grilled fish for breakfast.He took out a few pieces of pastries from the dry food bag at the side and handed them to Li Chengtong who was still embarrassed.

In fact, after all, it is also a regular snack on the carriage accompanied by the prince. It tastes very good, sweet and soft.But no matter how delicious and tempting the food is, eating too much of it all day long is really unbearable.

Li Chengtong almost laughed out loud when he saw the person in front of him frowning and staring at the rose cake in his hand with a bitter and bitter expression on his face.

"If Changji really doesn't want to eat these anymore, I can go outside and look for them. There are few people here, so there should be a lot of wild animals and birds that can be eaten."

"Not so much."

Gu Changli knelt down on the ground, straightened his robe, and said solemnly.

"The terrain here is unknown, the situation is unknown, and no one knows what danger lurks in the depths of the jungle. I am not a glutton who would risk his life just to eat. Before the food is really exhausted, I do not advocate rash hunting—— Besides, the prince is still injured, isn't he?"

For those words that Gu Changli said earlier, Li Chengtong just listened noncommittally, and there was no special expression on his face, but when he said the last few words, his heart was shaking, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously He raised a smile.

"Could it be that the elder is worried about my safety?"

Gu Changli unceremoniously gave this cheap prince who had always felt too good about himself a cold look.

"My implication is that a good rider will fall from the horse, and a good swimmer will drown in the water. Although the prince has practiced powerful martial arts, don't push yourself too much, or you will break yourself, and maybe you will drag the villain down." ——My lord is used to being casual, and I still cherish this life."

"A good rider falls from a horse, a good swimmer drowns in water..."

Li Chengtong stretched out his hand and twitched his chin as if he had realized something, unaware of his disheveled appearance at the moment, and there seemed to be some indescribable emotion hidden in his pensive eyes.

"Such words are not like what a commoner who was born in a businessman or who has never been to a school can say."

Gu Changli, who was cleaning his face and rinsing his mouth with the surviving cups and dishes he had finally picked up from the ruins at the side, snorted coldly, and retorted, his words were sharp.

"Killing a tiger with bare hands without a hair being injured, this kind of martial arts strength is not something that luscious and incompetent absurd prince can have."

He looked towards the gloomy man with deep black eyes as if he had poked the sore spot without hesitation. The two of them met each other in such a way that they were silent for a long time. A depressive and heavy atmosphere spread in the entire cave. keep spreading.

"Life is alive, who doesn't have a few ulterior secrets? It's about face, about money, and some are even about life and death—My lord, right now we are grasshoppers tied to the same rope. I don't want to, and I don't want to be lazy. Get to the bottom of the part of the truth that you want to conceal, and don't make unnecessary guesses, okay? Take a step back, and settle accounts after the fall, you must first guarantee your life."

Just at the moment when this tense atmosphere reached its peak and was on the verge of erupting, Gu Changli suddenly let out a sigh of relief, continued his unfinished cleaning work, and stopped speaking after leaving such words behind.

He considers the current situation and intends to give in, but the other party has not noticed his thoughts, or even if he has noticed, the other party has not flinched.

"I once heard such a story. It said that in a country that had just been established from wars and most of the country was still in ruins, there was a very wise and capable prime minister. His internal affairs methods were unparalleled in the world. When the monarch led the army to fight, the government was in turmoil, a thousand things were waiting to be done, and thousands of things were chaotic, he still handled everything properly and orderly. For a time, from the government and the people to the people, there was a lot of praise for the prime minister. When it rises, everyone in the street hears it."

At the beginning of Li Chengtong's story, Gu Changli's expression became a little weird. As he progressed the plot little by little, this familiar sense of sight became more intense.

At this time, Nan Wang was talking to him seriously, wasn't he just casually using it to amuse a little maid not long ago?

That little girl likes to dictate ingenious and witty passages. When asking him to tell a story, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind at that time, and she joked about a change of appearance that she had read from the library's unofficial history. Unexpectedly, all the words in such a joking conversation reached Li Chengtong's ears?

Thinking about it now, the deep meaning contained in this story coincides with the environment Nan Wang was in before, and it fits to a certain level. If it is not intentional, it will be even more hypocritical.

It's no wonder that the King of Nan has changed his usual style this time, and he must ask for something——Gu Changli couldn't help but think of how many anecdotes and jokes he told during the time when he was living in the backyard and enjoying himself.

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Maybe the person in front of him misunderstood him as an extraterrestrial expert, and this kind of flattery and closeness is just buying bones with a lot of money in exchange for his surrender?

Gu Changli, who was in a cold sweat from being frightened by his own brain hole, didn't notice that Li Chengtong had already continued the conversation just now while he was in a trance, continuing to talk about the long past that happened in another time and space.

"The prime minister of the country was also very satisfied with his level of governance. When drinking with his friends, he boasted that he had achieved fruitful results in the past period of time, and his achievements were excellent. Unexpectedly, when his friends heard this, they were so frightened that the wine in their hands The cups all fell to the ground, and he bluntly said that the prime minister of his country would be killed and his family lost. The prime minister was horrified, but also extremely puzzled. He was diligent in governing the country, had no merits, and was loved and praised by the people. He only waited for the monarch to return and say Maybe you can still get a reward, so why do you have to die?"

"A friend of the prime minister said bluntly, 'You are good at governing the government, you love the people like a son, you are praised by hundreds of officials in the officialdom, and praised by the common people. Rumors, flowers are blooming at this time, and fire is cooking oil - if you wait until the king returns, how should you feel about this situation? The one who killed the world from the back of a horse.' The story of my friend Bai's explanation finally made Prime Minister Guo understand what kind of negligence he had committed, and he was sweating profusely for a while, and he bowed down to thank this friend immediately."

"Since then, although the Prime Minister of the country is still serious about governing the country, he is no longer as lenient to the people as before. He even connives at the sons and servants of the house to seize the land and fight with dogs. For a while, the people complained. It also plummeted, which is disgusting."

"On the bright side, that Prime Minister seems to have suffered a great loss and stained his entire life. However, since then, he has become the most trusted subject of the king. He has made great contributions to the battle with the king. After the founding fathers of the country fell for various reasons and were even ransacked and exterminated, he still stood at the pinnacle of power, and the family has been able to continue to prosper."

At the end of the story, the strength in Li Chengtong's hand became stronger and stronger. The pastry that Gu Changli gave him earlier turned into a pile of fine powder with his actions, and fell from between his fingers. But he didn't notice it. To be more precise, his attention was completely focused on the person opposite him.

"That story ends here. Changhe, let me ask you, if the Prime Minister in the story is not a loyal man, but an ambitious treacherous minister, he hides his strength and bides his time, and even defiles himself to win the position of the superior. Trust, but he is secretly accumulating strength, waiting for the day when he will explode—when he actually ascends to that position, all the previous crimes will naturally disappear and be wiped out—it’s just like that.”

"Tell me, Changhe, if the story really develops like this, how likely is he to succeed in the end?"

"........."

Gu Changli was speechless for a while under Nanwang's fanatical and earnest gaze.

He didn't know how likely this kind of messy thing would succeed, but he knew very well—the trouble he was in now must be very serious.
