(I found that the previous chapter was the real finale, and this chapter is more like a postscript)

There is a place in this world, very, very remote, like a paradise, as if everything that happens outside has nothing to do with it.

Some people live in this place.

For example, Su Mang and his wife.

Do you still remember Su Mang? It is the peerless national warrior, the lone star in the imperial examination room.

At that time, he was obviously the first place in the township test, but because the crane in the cloud came out of the middle of the way, he took away Su Mang's first place.

But when others asked Su Mang to frame Yun Zhonghe, he resolutely chose to stand on the side of justice and helped Yun Zhonghe kill the Yuedan Review Organization.

After that, in order to save him, Yun Zhonghe asked Yuan Tianxie to send him to an isolated place.

At that time, Yun Zhonghe said very well, when the time is right, he will definitely let him come out, and shine brightly, and become a real national soldier.

However, this opportune timing has also been delayed.

I thought that in three or five years, Su Mang, a great talent, would be able to come out of the mountain again.

As a result, Emperor Wanyun died, Emperor Tianyan ascended the throne, and Su Mang was not taken out.

The Tianzuo Divine Emperor was finished, the Great Zhou Empire was destroyed, and Su Mang still didn't pick it up.

For him, it was really three years after three years, three years after three years, a whole thirty years or so.

It wasn't until after he captured the Demon Jing and rescued Yuan Tianxie that Su Mang was picked up, and at this time he was already in his fifties.

There is another person, who is Ao Xin's former righteous son, Ao Qi.

He used to be one of the leaders of the Natives in the South, and when the South rebelled, the Crane in the Clouds asked Ao Qi to leave the South with the hardcore elements of the Natives, all the way to the west, to the primeval forest country.

At the time, perhaps there should have been great expectations for him.

Ao Qi can lead the natives to expand the territory in the vast primeval forest, and eventually achieve hegemony. At the critical moment, fight your way out of the primeval jungle and become the arm of the crane in the clouds.

But...... It didn't happen.

Ao Qi did not achieve hegemony, because he was not an ambitious person himself, nor was he a ruthless person.

Instead of ruling this primeval forest, he was assimilated by it.

Thirty years have passed.

The natives led by Ao Qi have become primeval forest tribes again, the population has not grown much, and their combat effectiveness is still very strong, and they are not as good as when they were in the south.

The primeval forest is not a place that can create miracles and hegemony.

Ao Qi is not a person who can create hegemony.

But whether it is Su Mang or Ao Qi, because the place where they live is too remote, when the Great Xian Demon Kingdom expanded, it did not affect them.

Until the crane in the clouds sent someone to take them out.

Ao Qi, retire directly, don't ask about the world.

Su Mang, finally really made a big difference.

..........................................

A certain year.

The former Imperial Palace of the Great Win Empire, now in the Dongyan Palace.

Ao Ming, the prime minister of the Dongyan Kingdom, and Su Mang, the foreign minister, frowned.

Ao Ming probably never dreamed that after experiencing this series of changes, he would be able to become the prime minister of the cabinet?

Although it is only a kingdom, its territory is completely equivalent to the sum of the previous four empires, and it is almost one of the most powerful people in this world.

After returning, Su Mang became the foreign minister of the Dongyan Kingdom in less than five years.

Yuan Tianxie also became the Minister of Industry, but he was transitional and would retire in about a few years.

Tang Taijing also became the second marshal of the Privy Council of the Dongyan Kingdom, and Ying Yan was supposed to become the first marshal, but he gave up and is now an idle prince.

There is another person, the former Prince of Zhouli, who is now an important minister in Yunzhou, and there is no ceremony to return to his homeland.

The Blood Queen was canonized as a duke and became the vice-marshal of the navy of the Dongyan Kingdom.

Many people feel sorry for Jing Wushuang, if she is still alive and surrenders, she will definitely become a field marshal.

And Yan Qiqi is definitely the second spring of his career, and he has become the absolute head of the intelligence department of the Dongyan Kingdom.

The Vice Marshal of the Navy, the Queen of Blood, said coldly: "First of all, we must make it clear that the Golden Continent will belong to our East for a long time. During the period of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom, he was a direct territory of the East. Later, His Majesty the Emperor sent the legions of the Great Yan Empire to capture the Golden Continent in order to fight against the Great Xian Demon Kingdom. But now what does the White Cloud Kingdom and the Xiyan Kingdom mean? If they directly occupy it and not leave, the prospecting rights of the entire Golden Continent will also be divided between the two families, completely ignoring the demands of the Dongyan Kingdom?"

Ao Ming said: "Lord Yuan, is the Golden Continent really so important to us? Our Dongyan Kingdom has a territory of more than 20 million square kilometers, and the land is vast and rich, isn't there enough mineral deposits?"

Yuan Tian said: "We have a lot of minerals, especially oil, countless of them. However, the metal deposits, at least for the time being, are not of high grade and are far inferior to the gold continent. ”

Su Mang said: "Bai Yun and Xiyan, it is absolutely impossible to completely leave us and carve up the Golden Continent. ”

The Blood Queen said, "In this matter, are we going to the Holy Capital to see His Majesty the Emperor?"

Speaking of which, the people of the world hate Emperor Tianzuo to death, and they absolutely gritted their teeth.

Originally, with the merits of the crane in the clouds, he could no longer be called an emperor, and he must add the Holy Emperor, or the Divine Emperor, to prove that his merits far exceeded that of the emperor of the old Great Yan Empire.

However, Tianzuo crowned himself as the God Emperor early, and then what God Emperor, Holy Emperor, all the reputations stinked.

Yunyao, the king of Dongyan on the throne, shook his head and said, "You can't find your father for this matter. ”

Ao Ming said: "Yes, I can't find Your Majesty, for him, the palms and backs of his hands are all meat." Moreover, our Dongyan lost the initiative in the Golden Continent, in the final analysis, our navy is too weak, which is a shame, but we are brave after shame. If it weren't for Xiyan, our land would still be under the dark rule of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom, and they would be kind to us. ”

The Blood Queen said: "Kindness is kindness, interests are interests, and national interests come first." ”

Ao Ming said coldly: "Really, look at the current kingdom, conservatives are rampant, no matter what new deal, it is so difficult to push it down." is already lagging behind others, and is still so conservative and stubborn, it will only fall behind more and more. This is a good thing, so that the people of the whole kingdom can see clearly that backwardness will be beaten. Fortunately in recent years, Prince Ji Yan is still close to us, and there will be no real military friction after all. But what about the next generation of Xiyan King? What about the next generation? We are running out of time, and if we continue to lag behind, we are afraid that there will really be a disaster of war. His Majesty canonized the greatest homeland to his eldest son, the Great King, which is the most important to His Majesty. If you lose too hard, Your Majesty will lose face. ”

The Blood Queen said, "Otherwise, the King, you will go and talk to Prince Ji Yan?"

Yun Yao shook his head.

Ao Ming said: "I can't go, we are the homeland of Great Yan, the hometown of His Majesty." The identity of the king is above the other two kings, and you cannot condescend to others and ask for it. ”

Su Mang saluted towards Yun Yao and said, "Great King, I am about to go to the Golden Continent to participate in the negotiation of the foreign ministers of the three kingdoms, what are your instructions?"

Yun Yao said: "Fight but not break." In addition, when you go to the Golden Continent, you will pass through Bai Jing on the way, right? I have a handwritten letter, please hand it over to King Bai Gu in person, don't you ...... Give it to Prince Bai Qi, but in front of King Bai Gu. ”

Su Mang said: "Yes." ”

Ao Ming said: "Great King, over there, who will the Order Council send to participate in this Golden Continent negotiation?"

Yun Yao said: "It's not my brother, it's Lord Wuzheng." In addition, no matter what kind of negotiation, don't make friends with anyone in the Order Council in private, this is a taboo in the Empire. The three kingdoms are not allowed to make friends with the Order Society, and they must not let the Order Society lose its transcendent status. ”

Ao Ming said: "King, if this rule is not broken today, in a few decades, a hundred years later, someone may break it." ”

Yun Yao said: "Then it depends on the order itself, if the rules are broken, its golden body will also be broken, and it will live up to the expectations of the father." ”

......................................................

In this world, it is too difficult to achieve complete peace.

It was only less than ten years since the fall of the Great Xian Demon Kingdom, and the entire Great Yan Empire was full of contradictions.

The contradiction between the three kingdoms.

Among these three kingdoms, in terms of territory, Dongyan and Xiyan are comparable, but in terms of population, Dongyan far surpasses.

In terms of national strength, Xiyan is a crushing advantage.

But...... The Xiyan Kingdom itself is also an internal contradiction that is becoming more and more intense.

The first is racial contradictions, and the second is class contradictions.

The previous New Great Yan Empire had a large number of slaves, although many of them had citizenship in order to attack the Great Salty Demon Empire.

But there is still a clear distinction, first-class citizens, second-class citizens, and third-class citizens.

Of course, the law is about equality. But in society, it is still very natural to divide into three, six, nine and so on.

The first citizens of the Empire, with a mere 10 million people, are now first-class citizens.

It turned out that the tens of millions of slaves in the native territory of the New Great Yan Empire were now second-class citizens. And it turns out that the people of the vast colony are third-class citizens.

Not only is there a class contradiction, but there is also a certain risk of fission in the Xiyan Kingdom.

Because at that time, Yunzhong Crane canonized Yunzhou to the Xiyan Kingdom, and Yunzhou is only a few thousand kilometers away from the eastern mainland, but it is tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Xiyan Kingdom, which is equivalent to an enclave.

However, Yunzhou has millions of square kilometers, so at this time, the people of Yunzhou are thinking of gradually breaking away from the Xiyan Kingdom and forming their own system.

Now the civil and military officials in Yunzhou are staring at Jing Zhongyue's third son, trying in every possible way to get him to Yunzhou, and then become the fourth prince of the Great Yan Empire.

In short, this kind of internal and external contradiction is becoming more and more intense.

However, the crane in the clouds did not care at all, almost never showed up, and did not give any will.

Even within the Xiyan Kingdom, there had been several military conflicts, and he didn't pay any attention to them.

Even, no one knows where he is.

....................................

Some kind of hot and beautiful island.

The scenery here is picturesque, the beach is like cotton, and the flowers are full of flowers.

The crane built a dock, a garden, an orchard, and a large villa estate here.

The only pity is that the grapes here are not very good and cannot be made together.

He and his wife, as well as a large family, including Jing Wubian and other families, all live here.

Early in the morning, he went out to sea with Ao Yu, Ao Xin, and Jing Wubian on a yacht to fish.

He has lived happily all these years, but it is not very peaceful.

A group of women, often quarrelling.

Jing Zhongyue and Bai Feifei quarreled.

Ji Qing quarreled with everyone.

Xiangxiang doesn't quarrel with anyone, but she is cold and lonely with everyone.

Not only did Jing Zhongyue, Queen Tussauds, Bai Feifei and others forget that Xiangxiang is the Emperor of Anger, but even Xiangxiang herself has forgotten that she is the Emperor of Anger.

The key is that she gave birth to three children in succession, which makes people jealous, and feels that Yunzhonghe loves Xiangxiang too much, too eccentric.

So when these women made a big fuss, the crane in the clouds sailed out to sea.

This is also the trouble of happiness, and quarrels and quarrels have the smell of fireworks.

Dock the boat in an area of water, where the water is almost crystal clear.

Then, four men cast their rods and fished.

"Brother, they are making such a big fuss, they are about to fight, you don't care?" asked Ao Yu.

Yun Zhonghe said: "Why don't you want to fight? this time Yunzhou wants to break away from Xiyan, and wants to operate Jing Ao to come to Yunzhou, and also wants the Yunzhou to be the Nanyan Kingdom, do you know whose big deal it is?"

Ao Yu said: "Who?"

Yun Zhonghe said: "Yan Qiqi, the intelligence minister of the Dongyan Kingdom, has sent thousands of spies to Xiyan and Yunzhou. And he is also focusing on the special experts who are plotting against the Xiyan Kingdom, that is, the experts of super bombs. ”

Ao Yu said: "With the foundation of the Dongyan Kingdom, you can't make that big killing weapon at all, right?"

The crane in the clouds said: "They think they are prepared. ”

Ao Yu said: "If it goes on like this, maybe in a few decades, there will be a war." ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "This generation will not, and the next generation will be difficult to tell." ”

Ao Yu said: "You don't care, just let the roommate?"

Yun Zhonghe said: "I can't control so much, as long as I don't destroy each other and die, I won't come out to care." What's the difference between me and the temple? Their fate is in their own hands, and when they are going to die, I'll stop them. Of course, maybe one day in the future, they will be so strong that I can't stop them. But...... I can't wait for that day to come. ”

"Holy Temple, Holy Temple......" Ao Yu sighed and said, "Brother, I thought you wouldn't come back that day." ”

As soon as these words came out.

Ao Xin said on the side: "I'm sleepy, I'll go to the cabin to sleep for a while." ”

Jing Wubian said: "Then should I be sleepy? Forget it, I'm still sleepy." ”

Then, Jing Wubian also went to sleep in the rear cabin.

........................

After returning from the temple, Yun Zhonghe did not mention it to anyone.

Ao Yu said: "I'm afraid that you won't be able to come back, not that you are not strong enough, but that you are afraid that you are too strong, or that you are too deep." ”

The meaning of Ao Yu's words is a little complicated.

Fear that the crane in the clouds will be too powerful means that the crane in the clouds will take the place of the temple and embark on the path of being a god and become the hand of destiny of the world.

I am afraid that the crane in the clouds will be too deeply calculated, that is, I am worried that the crane in the clouds will continue to delve into the truth of the temple, the truth of this world civilization, and the truth of this human race.

What kind of world is this world? alien planets, other planes, the earth after the destruction? Or a deeper answer.

"The truth is precious, but sometimes it doesn't fit perfectly. You once said that you were too timid to face the ultimate truth, so at some point, you stopped. After my crusade, you rested, and you stopped searching, and you stopped adventuring. This is a kind of timidity, of course, but it is also a kind of wisdom to some extent. ”

Ao Yu said: "For you, it is even more brave. ”

What is the ultimate truth?

Humans on Earth also often ask this answer.

For example, where did humans come from? Do humans have free will?

Many people have written very profound and professional works on this subject, such as the BBC documentary "The Journey of Time and Space in the Universe", which once explored whether human free will is really free will.

Is human consciousness and will truly self-contained or programmed?

One thing that is important for the truth is to take it step by step. Success will come when conditions are ripe..

When you are not afraid of the truth, it may be the best time to reveal the truth.

Of course, it would be better if humanity didn't care about the lethality of truth at all.

Yun Zhonghe smiled: "Brother, in fact, everyone has their own mission. When one's mission is accomplished, then it is time to rest, and to enjoy life. If you continue to cling to it, it will be harmful and useless, and if you disappear at the right time, it may be the highest wisdom. ”

Ao Yu said: "Besides, disappearing is not really disappearing, but in another way, caring for the world." ”

Yun Zhonghe said: "After so many years of hard work, you should enjoy life." ”

Ao Yu said: "Yes, enjoy life. ”

"There were some fairy tales in the past, and they all had a unified ending, that is, from now on, the prince and princess lived happily together. There's no story behind that, do you know why?"

Ao Yu said: "Because of a happy life, I am very happy. But in the eyes of others, it is boring and monotonous. ”

The crane in the clouds sighed: "Alas, our life is so happy, unpretentious, and boring. ”

Ao Yu said: "It's too boring. ”

....................................

Inside the villa estate.

Jing Zhongyue is still practicing martial arts, Du Sha is still painting, Bai Feifei is still angry, Xu Anfei is busy in the kitchen, Ning Qing is reading, and Ji Qing is experimenting.

Mother Liu is making the baby's shoes, and her sister Ao Ningning is bored and is ready to leave here in two days.

Jing Wubian's wife, Yutai Wuyan, was worried, and she didn't know what happened to her dim sum shop in Yunzhou, and wanted to go back to see it, but she was reluctant to leave here.

Xiangxiang has long forgotten that she is the Emperor of Nu, and she is in a hurry to bring the baby.

A happy life is really monotonous and boring.
