[Group Wearing Song Dynasty] The Glory of the Sky

Bai Lu and Li Luan looked at each other and sat down in front of her.

This is the sixth and last day of the foreign affairs delegation's stay in Yangzhou.

After tonight, they will turn back to Lin'an, and then follow the convoy to Luoyang.

Bailu has never stopped looking for any news related to her in these years.

She went to the Kingdom of Jin, became the wife of the county, and promoted the somewhat ridiculous sugar revolution.

She went to the State of Song, became a consultant to the Ministry of Commerce, and then used her original assets to make a comeback, and further mixed into Shaoxing Manufacturing, and began to have more and more right to speak.

In these years of meetings, even if they have not been in direct contact with each other, they will always appear at the same time unintentionally. Looking at them from afar across the sea of ​​people, they are both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar.

And Li Luan was a little confused, she didn't quite understand why this person asked her to meet in private.

After Liu Xi knew the truth, he didn't tell her hastily. He only roughly explained what Yun Qi had done in the Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Song, but he never lifted the last layer of veil.

Many things cannot be said clearly, at least, cannot be controlled by him as an outsider.

Yun Qi, who was sitting in front of them, didn't have the usual smile to hide his smile, nor did he wear modern clothes.

She seems to have completely become a Song person, no matter the makeup, the fleece robe, or the color and smell of the nails, there is no trace of modernity.

"Liu Xi didn't give me much time," she glanced at the camera, and said slowly, "Three ten minutes."

"I've come to say goodbye to you and to myself."

Bailu frowned slightly, and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by her.

"In 2018, a confidential commercial project was officially suspended by the government. The companies involved in the research and development must destroy the relevant equipment within a time limit, and submit the banned data to the government for backup."

"At that time, there were four top-secret persons in the company, and all their wealth and relatives were forcibly bound by the company. It can be said that they lived and died together."

"Two of them conspired to transfer the Zeta who had completed many experiments, and then pushed the curse on the other two."

Yun Qi looked at the table, without questioning or any extra emotion in his tone.

"My father and mother, because they were framed as secret agents, were secretly wiped of their identities and committed suicide in prison."

Bai Lu narrowed his eyes and clenched his fist, letting his nails pinch his palm with pain.

"It took me nearly 20 years, sacrificing everything I could, even losing two children, in exchange for my name, the degree I should have had, and all the capital I could live on. "

Li Luan's expression changed slightly, and he finally realized what she was talking about.

"You are--"

"Are you the girl from that night?!"

Yun Qi only raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, and said slowly: "Yes, and no."

"What do you mean?" Li Luan stood up directly, his whole body began to tremble subconsciously: "There are only yes and no, where is there any other choice?!"

Yun Qi didn't raise her head, and she didn't react to her emotions, but said slowly: "I collected all the scandals of those involved, opened up various joints, and even established a team by myself, trying to expose the crimes to the public. In this world."

Just like a prism.

"And the person who betrayed him directly activated ZETA and let me die."

Bailu took a deep breath and said, "Yunqi."

"Do you think I'm still Yunqi?"

She raised her head, only frowned and asked back: "The existence of Zeta itself is a quantum teleporter."

"He set the wrong energy transmission data, which directly brought us all here."

"But the original owner is already dead, and we are just replicas."

Li Luan didn't realize that the two lines of tears had already flowed down, he just looked in her direction with empty eyes, and murmured: "You are Yunqi..."

"Yes, and no." Yun Qi said lightly, "It's the same as the quantum teleportation apple."

Even the scratches on the apple, or the completely rotted core inside, are exactly the same before and after the transmission.

But the fact is that the original existence has long been shattered by machines, and even death has disappeared from the world without being aware of it.

And they, everyone living in another world, are regenerators who have inherited all the memories.

She got up and handed Li Luan a tissue with a calm tone.

"I was the one involved in this from start to finish."

"So from the moment after the mutation occurs, I can use the information I have to analyze and judge new conclusions."

The woman stared into Li Luan's red eyes, before slowly opening her mouth, "The me now is a new victim caused by that Yun Qi from the past."

I haven't encountered those dark things, but my body has been completely damaged to the point where I can't reproduce.

I haven't actually come into contact with any of the people in the painful memory, but they all live in my memory, and even recalling each name can be excruciatingly painful.

I am a new victim.

The old Yunqi has long been broken down into particles in the void under the action of Zeta, but I am a different person from her, but I must inherit all her memories and destiny.

Just like a baby is born with only half a heart.

Li Luan was still in a state of confusion, he could only shake his head instinctively, wanting to deny everything weakly.

But Bailu understood.

He controlled himself not to overreact, and kept sorting out every word Liu Xi had said to her, and finally said: "This is the reason why you chose to go to the Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Song from the beginning, right?"

You are shaping a new soul.

All your cognition and memory will be constantly troubled and even controlled by the past, but as long as you touch enough unfamiliar areas and add more labels and identities to yourself, you will live as a new person.

The rogue in the Three Kingdoms and the hysterical woman in another time and space have part of the exact same memory, but they are not the same person.

What kind of existence is a human being?

All personality and instinctive reactions are all related to past family environment and growth experience.

But this is not fixed, and can even be actively changed at every moment.

Just as a rebellious person can purify himself to be gentle and calm, so a violent person can restrain himself.

So is the crazy self in the past and the completely opposite self in the future the same person?

Yes, no.

Yun Qi looked into his eyes and finally smiled slightly.

Today, no matter what she is wearing, her identity and background, her assets and connections, she has little to do with the former Yun Qi.

She endured all the pain she was born with, and was looking for a delicate balance between the two worlds.

"And you and Li Luan are the last link between my memory and the past world."

"So, I'm here today to say goodbye."

"No——no," Li Luan directly supported the table with one hand, pressed her shoulder with the other hand, and suppressed his emotions to the extreme: "You can't go, those things——"

"Are you still feeling guilty, Li Luan?" Yun Qi asked back: "Even if you have been in contact with psychiatrists from six or seven different countries until now, have you been unable to coexist with the sores in your heart?"

Li Luan's face was pale, but he kept holding on to Yun Qi tightly, and said hoarsely, "You can't go, you can't..."

"Your pain comes from memory. It's no different from mine." Yun Qi raised his hand to caress her forehead, her fingertips were as cold as her voice: "But Li Luan, you already have a brand new life."

"You shouldn't passively let those things eat your heart, you have to come alive."

Whether it is for the self in another world, or the self who is inheriting and repeating her life now, you should live.

"Please don't leave," Li Luan let her touch his forehead, choked up in a panic, "I don't know what to do, I knew you were back the moment my father had an accident, but all these years -"

How did you survive all these years.

How I suffered because of it.

The tearful eyes looked at her, as if praying for redemption.

"Li Luan." She whispered, "We can live for our memories, or let our memories live for us."

In the past few years, Song Guo had already spent a lot of money to buy several fleets. In addition, the industrial zone had been deliberately prepared for a long time, and it didn't take too long to move the capital.

All the monarchs and ministers went to Luoyang in the same convoy, followed by the transfer of royal property and the accompanying nobles.

A small number of businessmen have already bought a lot of land in Luoyang, and they are waiting to do a big job there.

Shanxi merchants, Huizhou merchants, Zhejiang merchants and even Fujian merchants have already stuffed a lot of benefits into the Ministry of Commerce, waiting to hear the next news.

What's even more gratifying is that with the revival of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court finally let go of the circulation of banned books, pulled those scientific theories out of the prohibited list, and even began to actively compile more systematic textbooks.

In the second year of Qiandao, the new emperor signed an imperial edict to start a new round of imperial examination reform.

This reform clearly divided the arts and sciences, and opened two corresponding colleges in Luoyang.

Liberal arts advocates the Tang style of openness and mergers, while science focuses on the discussion of mathematics and engineering theory.

Unexpectedly, the imperial court directly recruited several craftsmen who used to build high-rise buildings in the imperial mausoleum, and began to write books and discuss with them, and specially asked scholars to record the ingenuity of mortise and tenon joints and the science of hook force.

Science is divided into engineering, medicine, and mathematics. I heard that some subjects have specially invited Mr. Lin Guo to come and teach in person.

And the new Prime Minister proposed a motion, which finally got the consent of the cabinet and the House of Representatives.

Women can participate in imperial examinations and become officials, and are protected to a certain extent.

This matter is by no means as simple as doing good deeds.

The lever that Yun Qi leveraged was also interests.

Opening up women's authority can better meet the demands of nobles and businessmen who want to solidify their class.

Once women's imperial examinations and official admission are open, they can allow intelligent or even non-intelligent women in the clan to participate in it, expanding their influence and voice.

And those rich businessmen who don't want to leave their family property to their unworthy descendants can obviously let their daughters take charge of the business alone - even Yun Qi, who has no roots and no proof, can become the prime minister. , why can't my daughter who can write poems and counts from childhood?

In May of the same year, a whole road connecting Luoyang and Yangzhou was also officially completed. Although it is a relatively simple gravel road, it is much better than the rough and uneven dirt road.

The existence of the Luoyang Highway is like a brand new Silk Road, opening up more frequent and extensive trade——

A special long-distance bus station has even been set up between the two countries, and parking is available on all roads along the way.

Even if it takes hundreds of years, this incident will be like a fantasy——

People can take car business trips in groups, and no longer have to ride a donkey at night!

Sitting in the office, Liu Xi glanced at Song Guo's Qiandao Daily, and began to look for the section where the serialized articles he hadn't read last time were located.

He excused that he had a stomachache and didn't go to the meeting. He just wanted to lie on the sofa and touch fish for a while.

Before he could find the "Huan Hua Washing the Sword Record", the phone rang suddenly.

"You'an? I won't come back for dinner tonight..."

"The fleet has returned news!" Xin Qiji was on the other end of the phone, excited like a child: "They have completed the circle of the earth, and they have returned with paperwork and rubber tree seeds from many countries!"
