Devil Class Cannon Fodder

While Song Jing, Xiao Lingyang and Bai Heqing looked at each other, Lou Yun and her boyfriend Yang Qiaozhi came out of the restaurant.

Song Jing greeted Lou Yun naturally.

After Lou Yun said hello, she looked at Song Jing and the three of them, then turned to Song Jing and said, "Did you come with Master Xiao and Master Bai?"

It sounded like he should know the same as "Master Xiao" and "Master Bai".Wait, Gu Jing seems to have mentioned before that Cheng Zhenjie was defeated by two mages, could it be the two of them?But why didn't Gu Jing tell him what these two people looked like?It's just that although Song Jing complained in his heart, he didn't take it seriously. He decided to play Gu Yinchen to fool the current situation.

Not knowing how much Xiao Lingyang and Bai Heqing had mixed feelings at this time, the two of them were almost overwhelmed by the questions that came to their faces.

Xiao Lingyang: "???"

Bai Heqing: "??"

"They both have black question mark faces, tsk tsk." This was the system commenting while watching the excitement.

When Gu Qing was about to leave, he dug such a hole, so you have to watch the follow-up anyway.In other words, when Song Jing finished the meal and wanted to ask Gu Qing about Bai Heqing and Xiao Lingyang, Song Jing would not find anyone.

Gu Qing didn't express any opinions, but he just watched the follow-up with great interest.

Speaking of this parallel world, it is the ninth parallel world that Gu Qing experienced in this new journey.There are many settings in this parallel world, for Gu Qing, there is actually nothing new at all.

It's no wonder that this parallel world was originally changed by the system temporarily.In the parallel world that the system originally wanted to choose, there are all kinds of Zhou Ergeng, Ye Wanqiu, Ye Langning and Xu Weiwei—they are characters in the gourmet world, and their logic is so strange that Gu Qing would rather face the strange environment that never existed. They don't want to spend space, and they are unwilling to face them.

It's just that the system was at a loss, and Dapeng didn't dare to spread its wings on the verge of death.

Nowadays, the system sees that its own host does not give boring judgments on the lackluster spiritual world.Looking at my host who is about to dig a hole, and Gu Yinchen who wants to observe for a long time to obtain eternal life, I want to see what kind of development Gu Yinchen will have in the future. The system thinks that my host still thinks it is okay for this spiritual world. It's not easy for the iron tree to bloom.

The system couldn't help but let out a sob of joy.

Gu Qing turned a deaf ear to this.

System: "...the host!"

Gu Qing said coldly and mercilessly: "I don't want to ask, and I don't want to know."

System: "...How could you do this? I have devoted myself to you, racked my brains for you, and only want you to be satisfied. As long as you are satisfied, I will cry with joy—"

Gu Qing interrupted: "The idioms are well built."

System: "...I'll just take it as you are complimenting me."

"Of course you have to think so." Gu Qing said calmly, "I'm not a hard-hearted person for your devotion to me, and I'm still very moved. Didn't you see it? I'm almost tearful of gratitude gone."

System: "...No!"

Gu Qing murmured: "Well, that might be because you didn't die."

System: "... King Xiang is interested, but Goddess has no intention."

Gu Qing raised his eyebrows, "You might as well explain to me the meaning of this sentence."

The system didn't know what it thought of, and suddenly he laughed, "Host, you will know soon."

Gu Qing dragged his voice and said: "Then I will have to look forward to it."

The system's hey laughter stopped abruptly, and it said weakly: "Yeah."

As the system said, it was all related to the next parallel world it picked.

Gu Qing immediately got the original book, opened it up and read it.

Speaking of which, in the previous parallel world, tomb robbery was mentioned, but the element of tomb robbery was just an embellishment in the previous world, but in the novel Gu Qing is reading now, the element of tomb robbery has become the main element, running through it from beginning to end.

In addition to the elements of tomb robbery, love elements are also added, and this love line is also set as past and present.

It turns out that Huo Xiaoshan, the hero of the original plot this time, is an upside-down in modern times.He got a jade pendant by chance and has been dreaming ever since.

At the beginning, the dream was not clear, but Huo Xiaoshan didn't think it was a meaningless dream.Gradually, as the dream gradually became clearer, Huo Xiaoshan finally saw clearly the true face of the woman in the dream who could make people linger in dreams just by looking at her back. He also knew that the woman had an unswerving lover. In a dream, he once had the perspective of that man, hugged that woman in his arms, and said love words of mutual affection.

The dream was too confusing, Huo Xiaoshan didn't know how to describe the immersive feeling, and he couldn't explain what was going on in the intermittent dream.Until he and his little friends, in an inversion, fell to the tomb of Huo Huaichuan, a general of Yu State BC. In the tomb, Huo Xiaoshan saw murals. The scene overlapped...

With the development of the plot, I realized that the lovers in Huo Xiaoshan's dream were his previous life and his previous lover.

That former lover was still a princess named Yangyue.

Princess Yangyue and Huo Huaichuan are a pair of fateful mandarin ducks, they love each other wholeheartedly, but Princess Yangyue is the lord whom Huo Huaichuan is loyal to and the concubine of the Lord of Yu Kingdom.

In the previous life, Huo Huaichuan died in battle with his love for Princess Yangyue and his loyalty to the king.Princess Yangyue also died in love after hearing the news.God is merciful, let their reincarnation meet again in modern times, this time they can finally have lovers and get married.

Not to mention the part of the modern love line, but the part of the past life.This part is inferred from Huo Xiaoshan in modern times, based on his dreams, fragmentary clues from the tomb robbery, and combined with historical records, which has a lot of subjective elements.This can be seen from the fact that in the love story between Huo Huaichuan and Princess Yangyue, the other person, the king whom Huo Huaichuan is loyal to, the nominal husband of Princess Yangyue, seems to be unworthy of having a name.

Also, in the love of two people, the story of this person is not worth a name.

But for now, this king still has to mention his name.He is the lord of Yu Kingdom and the lord of Huo Huaichuan, named Yu Lang.

The part of the original plot that involves the past life is not too much, and what happened that year is all from the perspective of Huo Huaichuan or Princess Yangyue.As for Yu Lang, through the mouth of the hero Huo Xiaoshan, he talked about Yu Lang's fate in history.

As a monarch, Yu Lang had a mixed reputation. He had the ability to unify the countries, but because of his pursuit of longevity and his tyrannical temperament, the government affairs were abandoned and the people were in dire straits. Not two years after the general Huo Huaichuan died in battle, he died suddenly. , which in turn led to the split of Yu State, which was later destroyed by other countries.

In this way, the State of Yu became a not-so-glamorous and relatively short-lived embellishment in the torrent of history.

The reason why I introduce Yu Lang in detail is because Gu Qing became him this time.

Gu Qing: "No."

The system climbed up silently: "Host, what do you think?"

Gu Qing said without expression: "Should I thank you for not putting me in the mausoleum?"

System: "...To be honest, I have thought about it. I mean, when grave robbers break into your tomb, you sit up from the coffin and say to them, 'Are you surprised? Are you surprised?' , how dramatic that is."

Gu Qingyou nodded and said: "Who says it's not."

The system originally wanted to say "Do you think so, let's change it", but its desire to survive choked its throat, if it had a throat.Anyway, the system didn't dare to say anything for a while, and it slowly said after a while: "But I changed my mind, host, you haven't paid homage to your body, so—"

Gu Qing asked lightly: "So you want me to be a tomb robber or an archaeologist?"

Without waiting for the system to say anything, Gu Qing casually opened the original book in his hand, and read aloud: "'Huo Xiaoshan accidentally stepped into a soft mud with his feet empty. The crowd came to the edge of the swamp. Huo Xiaoshan stepped into the swamp, half of his body sank into it, and an indescribable smell came from the side. Looking closely, it was a rotting corpse. Floating on the swamp for some reason. And look at that carrion—'"

The system interrupted: "What are you looking at, hurry up and find a way to get out of the swamp!"

Gu Qing: "Oh? Is this how you feel?"

The system clanged forcefully: "I mean the harsh environment, is it a problem for the host? No!" Didn't it consider the cleanliness of its own host?Of course, for the sake of its own life, it has considered it carefully, otherwise it would not have crossed out the plan of "making its own host a zongzi".But it can't give up the element of tomb robbery, so it took a detour and threw out the drama of "looking at one's own body", which is also very dramatic.The system feels that its own host will not refuse such an interesting thing.

Uh, it should be interesting.

Gu Qing closed the original book: "With your words, I have a solid foundation in my heart."

Then there is no more then.

system:"……??"

In the end, the system could only hug itself tightly and say, "Then I wish the host a good time."

Gu Qing smiled slightly: "I accept your good words."

In the original work, there is a certain gap in the world frame.For example, the so-called previous life has been fabricated to a certain extent on the basis of the history of the original earth, but it is still possible to find the dynasty corresponding to the history of the original earth.

The period of Yu State was a period when feudal lords struggled for hegemony and a hundred schools of thought contended. The original plot also mentioned that Yu State existed between 300 BC and 200 BC, which was the Warring States Period in the history of the original earth.

If you look at it this way, the setting of Yu Kingdom and Yu Lang, the monarch, are likely to have prototypes, and only what is described in the original plot, even though there is less space for the previous life, Gu Qing still found inconsistencies.But since the original author set it this way, the parallel world based on this original work will be self-consistent to a certain extent.

At the same time, there is no need for Gu Qing to pursue Yu State and Yu Lang, which country and king correspond to the original history.After all, now that Yu Lang is no longer the original Yu Lang, but replaced by Gu Qing, then the part about the previous life in the original plot will naturally be overthrown and restarted.

Furthermore, Gu Qing accepted the auspicious words from the system, and he will definitely have fun.

"Your Majesty, it's time to get up." The servant Wang Chaoqing said respectfully.

Unaware that the Great King is no longer the former Great King, Gu Qing also integrated the memories that originally belonged to Yu Lang at this moment.

At this time, Huo Huaichuan had been promoted to lieutenant general, leading the army to break through the two cities of Zheng State, and Zheng State begged for peace.The Lord of the State of Zheng sent his beloved daughter, Princess Yangyue, known as the most beautiful woman in the State of Zheng, to make peace with the State of Yu.Huo Huaichuan's class returned to the court, escorted the marriage team along the way, and will return to Lang (Lang) City, King Yu's city, soon.

Speaking of Huo Huaichuan, he and Yu Lang can be called like bamboo horses.Huo Huaichuan's father, Huo Ping, was once Yu Lang's tutor, and Huo Huaichuan also served as Yu Lang's companion when he was young.Huo Huaichuan has such a family background, coupled with his own real talents and learning, he can already be a lieutenant general at a young age, and he is only one step away from becoming a general.

In Yu Lang's memory, Huo Huaichuan is his close friend and confidant. At the same time, Yu Lang also intends to promote Huo Huaichuan and make him his right-hand man. Huo Huaichuan is also loyal to Yu Lang and sincere. It is said that the monarch and his ministers get each other.

In the original plot, there is not much about the past life, and it does not explain how Huo Huaichuan and Princess Yangyue fell in love with each other, and how they were forced to separate back then. However, according to Yu Lang's memory, Huo Huaichuan did not I know Princess Yangyue, but both Yu Lang and Huo Huaichuan have heard of the reputation of Zheng Guo's number one beauty.

This time Zheng Guo sent her as a marriage princess, even Yu Lang, who had several beauties, was looking forward to it, and wanted to know how Princess Zheng Guo was so beautiful.

And yes, Yu Lang, as the king of a country, already has several beauties in the harem.Not only that, there are three children, one son and two daughters, both of whom were born by the wife of the harem after the queen died of illness.Among them, the prince is the eldest son, who is less than two years old, and his name is Yuzhang. The two princesses are both under one year old, and they have not yet been named.

Huo Huaichuan, who was two years younger than Yu Lang, had been engaged once before, but unfortunately the woman suffered from an emergency and went there before getting married.Now the Huo family has found another marriage for Huo Huaichuan. The woman is the second daughter of Ting Wei Song Chong, and they plan to get married next year.

Tingwei is in charge of judicial proceedings and ranks among the nine ministers, so this marriage must be well-matched.

But if Huo Huaichuan and Princess Yangyue are a perfect match, then they are really a green couple.

Thinking that way, Gu Qing completely regarded himself as an outsider, not one of the other parties involved.

After a while, Gu Qing put aside the affair with his daughter and turned his attention to state affairs.

As the lord of Yu Kingdom, Yu Lang's status is fairly stable, even if it was not stable, it doesn't matter to Gu Qing.Gu Qing is very familiar with being the king of a country, or even the lord of the world. Like in the second parallel world of this new journey, didn't he just ascend the throne as the emperor after he didn't favor the prince? Transition from feudal monarchy to constitutional monarchy.

This time, Gu Qing didn't think about taking such a step, after all, the times are too different.But even if this point is put aside, and everything is very backward at this time, Gu Qing does not have the will to push society, technology, etc. forward, and it is meaningless to repeat this matter again.

Gu Qing has other ideas about the so-called "examination of himself" and the main setting of this parallel world.In order to greatly increase the drama, Gu Qing does not want to be almost unknown in later generations, at least not like Yu Lang in the original plot, where even his life cannot be examined in detail.

So how can we not be overwhelmed by the torrent of history, but still be extremely bright?

How about ending the separatist regimes of the princes and unifying them beforehand?

Having said that, there are several countries under the separatist regime at the moment, among which the countries with relatively strong Chinese power are the countries of Yu, Zheng, Fei, Pei, Yan, Chu, Shu and Yue.Due to geographical reasons, the Kingdom of Shu and the Kingdom of Yue have actually deviated from the Central Plains dispute to a certain extent. Among the remaining six countries, the Kingdom of Zheng originally had the largest territory and relatively fertile land. Two cities were captured by Yu State and had to cede land for peace.

In this way, among the other four countries except Yu State, Yan State and Chu State are currently two points stronger than Yu State.Also, Fei Guo and Zheng Guo are relatively weaker than each other, but in the past when Zheng Guo was in front, Fei Guo took the opportunity to develop, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future.

Gu Qing went through the relevant information, and soon had a general understanding of the current situation, and compared it with the history of the original earth.After the comparison, Gu Qing couldn't help being curious about the parallel world that the original plot was based on, and the subsequent historical development.

It is a follow-up without his involvement.

Because if based on the current resumption of the situation, combined with the subsequent known setting that Yu Kingdom was destroyed by other countries, how history will develop in the future, there will be a lot of deviation from the history of the original earth.But it seems that the historical part involved in the modern plot in the original plot does not deviate much from the history of the original earth.

Of course, if you take into account the fact that the rules of the world will be self-consistent when the parallel world is formed, then you cannot confuse the parallel world with the original plot.

Thinking of this, Gu Qing felt relieved.

After analyzing the situation in the world, Gu Qing began to study the national conditions of Yu State, and also learned about the current level of craftsmanship, as well as other aspects-he must know that if he wants to build a mausoleum, the craftsmen at this time must be the best. To what extent can it be done.

I just came here, thinking about the future, isn't it too "pessimistic"?

But Gu Qing was very excited.

After so many "reincarnations", Gu Qing has long been familiar with blending into the present.Before Huo Huaichuan summoned him to Langcheng, the king's city, Gu Qing had been the lord of Yu Kingdom for half a month. Every time he wrote with Yu Lang's brushwork, he didn't need to pause. It's exactly the same.In the court hall, when discussing matters with the courtiers, there was no flaw, Gu Qing was not in a hurry to do anything, he had to get the absolute initiative before that, and this was not a problem.

But in the harem, Gu Qing did not visit anyone, but only inspected the prince Yuzhang who was under two years old, and the two princes and daughters who were under one year old.

Yu Lang already had children, which saved Gu Qing a lot of trouble, but taking a step back, even if Yu Lang had no children, it would not be a big deal, and even if Yu State was like the Qin Dynasty in the history of the original earth, it died in the second generation That's okay, after all, it didn't affect the first emperor forever.

Speaking of this, Gu Qing once became Hu Hai, and passed the throne to his elder brother Fu Su.

I don't want to mention much about the past, anyway, Gu Qing is still in the aspect of love, he has no intentions, and there is no ripple in his heart.

The beauties in the harem are jealous of Princess Yangyue because of this, thinking that the reason why the king does not set foot in the harem is because Princess Yangyue is the number one beauty in the Zheng Kingdom.

And the message from Huo Huaichuan?It was Huo Huaichuan who reported their assassination on the way.

The assassin went after Princess Yangyue, and after his deeds were revealed, he killed himself by biting the poison sac.Huo Huaichuan did not find anything on the assassins that could prove their identities. It was obvious that these assassins were well-trained and they were not afraid of death.

Fortunately, Princess Yangyue was safe and sound, but they had to delay half a month from the expected date before arriving in Langcheng.

Gu Qing gave orders to appease Huo Huaichuan, and also told Huo Huaichuan to transport the assassin's body back to Langcheng for follow-up investigation.

Regarding the origin and purpose of the assassin, all the ministers in the court discussed a lot.Most of the ministers thought that since the assassins were targeting Princess Yangyue, it was clear that the people behind the scenes did not want Princess Yangyue to successfully get married to the Kingdom of Yu, which would lead to the appearance of a union between the Kingdom of Yu and the Kingdom of Zheng.

It is also possible to destroy this marriage, re-tension the relationship between Yu and Zheng, and continue the confrontation between the two armies, sapping each other's national strength.

No matter what it is, the rest of the countries are all suspect.

Fortunately, the assassination was unsuccessful.

Gu Qing felt that the assassination was worth pondering.Because Princess Yangyue is a beauty who seeks peace from the defeated country, so saying that she is a marriage is just to make her name more attractive, and the reason why Yu State agreed to this marriage is because after taking down the two cities of Zheng State, considering the national strength, There is still a follow-up, so it means that the donkey will go downhill at that point.

In other words, even if Zheng Guo didn't send Princess Yangyue, but sent property to sue for peace, Yu Guo would stop the war and recharge his batteries.

In other words, Princess Yangyue is not that important.

Of course, as Princess Zheng, Princess Yangyue cannot be completely equated with wealth and cattle.In a certain sense, she can still temporarily shake hands and make peace on behalf of Yu Guo and Zheng Guo.

Again, it is not only from the analysis of national conditions, but also from the perspective of personal feelings.If it's just this aspect, then there are more possibilities.

Gu Qing propped his forehead, while listening to the courtiers' discussions, while diverging his thoughts.

Mao (mào) city

Maocheng is the first city of Yu State, more than 100 kilometers away from Wangcheng.At this time, Huo Huaichuan's army marched to this city, repaired it before going on the road, and because of the assassination, they stayed in Maocheng for two more days.

After confirming that Princess Yangyue was just frightened, Huo Huaichuan breathed a sigh of relief, and decided to strengthen precautions to prevent such things from happening again.Huo Huaichuan was instructing his subordinates when there was noise outside.

"Princess—" was the voice of Princess Yangyue's maid.

Huo Huaichuan stopped and walked out of the tent.But seeing Princess Yangyue bringing the maid over, the maid looked worried and fearful, but Princess Yangyue only turned pale, but she still stabilized her honor as a princess.

Looking at Princess Yangyue, she is indeed the number one beauty in the Zheng Kingdom. Her eyes are like autumn waters, and her eyebrows are like distant daisy.It's just that even though she's wearing a splendid dress now, she can't hide her paleness, and the fragility and unhappiness under her strength, which makes people feel sorry, and can't help but want to do something to let her show off her face.

Princess Yangyue raised her eyes and saw Huo Huaichuan, and immediately bent down to thank him.

Huo Huaichuan didn't dare to accept this great gift, he should have turned sideways to avoid it, but he didn't want to make a mistake, but he stretched out his hand to help Princess Yangyue, that is, he held her bright wrist.
