Chapter 15: Temptation
Wang Jingxing left less than two days after returning to the village, and when he came back, he invited her to go to Kyoto to have fun together.
He left, but left Huai Daochang behind.
Soon after, it was reported that the two countries negotiated peace, and Daliang gave Wei a tribute, and Daliang ceded Fucheng to Wei.
The reparations for the reparations for the great victory and the cession of land made many patriots cry bitterly.
Uncle Tong, the housekeeper of the Wang family next door, cried for a day and a night, closed the door and scolded the emperor and the court for being incompetent.
When this news came, Su Lingyu had a change in his opinion of one person, that is, Huai Daochang.
The moment she got the news, she immediately went to see Daoist Huai.
"How did you become a prophet?" Su Lingyu asked him.
Huai Daochang didn't pretend either, looked around and saw that there was no one around, bowed his head and said to her: "Actually, I don't know, I woke up and found that I had a lifetime of memories." There are many things that I can know the result of as long as I recall and reminisce. ”
"For example, entering the Jingdong family this time will break with General Sun, and the owner will become the city lord of Liangcheng."
"And what else do you know?" Su Lingyu asked.
"Lao Dao also knows that you will marry the owner, and then have two sons and a daughter, and you will have twelve grandchildren in the future."
"Wow!" Su Lingyu leaned back in surprise, "Two sons, twelve grandchildren, so you can give birth!" ”
Su Lingyu leaned forward again, "My sons have all taken concubines?" ”
"When Lao Dao died, I hadn't heard of them taking concubines, so I shouldn't have any."
Su Lingyu pointed at Huai Dao Chang and moved back while pointing, "You, you, you are reborn?" ”
"The old way doesn't know, some should know, don't know, and some shouldn't know but know." Huai Daochang was very distressed, "Before Lao Dao died, he entered the tomb of you and the Holy Emperor, and wanted to seal the coffin and the cave door for you. But when I woke up, it changed again. I'm still me, I'm not me anymore. ”
These words have been used to confuse people.
Never mind it.
Su Lingyu asked him, "Who is the Holy Emperor?" Who am I buried with? ”
"The Holy Emperor is ...... Ahem, ahem. "Daoist Huai wanted to say it, but he coughed up blood and didn't dare to say it." Heavenly machine, heavenly machine cannot be leaked. ”
Seeing that Daoist Huai was coughing up blood, Su Lingyu was not easy to ask.
"Just ask, who am I married?"
Huai Daochang shook his head: "Don't say, don't say." As he spoke, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Okay, say what you can say. I'll listen to it. ”
Su Lingyu cocked Erlang's legs, pretending not to care, but his ears were erect long, and he had to listen accurately.
Huai Daochang wiped his blood and said: "Steam ship, steam train, you let me go to sea, I walked all the way south, walked for two years, and finally went to a desolate place, and found the weeping tree in some wild people, which is what you said about rubber. ”
"Rubber!" Su Lingyu jumped up. "Rubber is native to the Amazon rainforest, named after the Indians, and you actually went to South America!"
Su Lingyu looked at Daoist Huai with admiration, "Great man, go down in history!" The first generation of navigators in history, discovered new continents, discovered new species! ”
"What did you sit on to the sea?"
"Steam ships, when the wind comes, set sail, when there is no wind, coal is used as a raw material to drive the steam engine, pushing the hull. We take the coal burners with us, and we burn wood coal all the way, so we are not afraid of running out of fuel. ”
Su Lingyu fantasized about the grand scene of their going to sea, and said with a smile: "You guys are really amazing. ”
Huai Dao frowned, "Actually, you are the most amazing one."
Iron needed to get the steam train. You let us go to sea, you let us go out to explore other capitals, grab grain, gold, iron ore, and land, and then there are more people who go to sea.
You let the court set up a sailor to suppress the sea bandits on the surface, but in fact you collect protection money from the pirates and taxes on the caravan. There are also sailors who secretly carry out robberies, especially where gold, silver, copper and iron ore are found. ”
Su Lingyu couldn't believe it, "Am I such a vicious person?" ”
"Hmm." Huai Dao nodded thoughtfully, "It was you who led the sea plunder." ”
"Poof." Su Lingyu squirted out a sip of tea, "How old am I?" ”
"Huh." "You not only let us go to sea, but you also let the steppe people go west, take the Silk Road, and go to the country of the east to rob. ”
"Snatch their cattle, sheep and horses, rob them of iron, coal, and kerosene. Not only that, but you gathered scholars, Taoist priests, monks, and witches from all over the country to preach in Western countries.
You said that you want to spread the ideology and culture of Daliang to all parts of the world. ”
Su Lingyu didn't dare to listen to it, and if she continued to say it, she was a bad person full of evil, instigating the people of the whole country to plunder everywhere, how bad this person was.
Su Lingyu wanted to ask if the kingdom of Daliang still existed because she was tossed like this?
No one can answer this question.
She is dead, but Huai Daochang is still alive; Huai Daochang is dead, but the girder is still there. So no one knows how many years the girder has survived.
"With the steam train, we walked for a day, and then we arrived in three hours. Walk for three hours, and an hour will come. Everybody says you're good. ”
Su Lingyu tugged at the corners of her mouth, "Are you sure I got it?" ”
She pointed to the workshops at the foot of the mountain, "You go over and see, those steam workshops, those mills, did I make them or did Wang Jingxing make them?" ”
"How can they push it on me? I'm a good person, I'm a man who keeps to myself, how can I encourage you to rob? If I spread knowledge, I might encourage it. ”
Su Lingyu was not convinced, "They must have done something bad, and it is hard to admit it, so they pushed it on me." It's easy to bully when a woman, isn't it? ”
Saying that, Su Lingyu was not angry, "I have to stay away from them, I don't carry this black cauldron." ”
Huai Daochang touched his mustache, he seemed to have done something bad with good intentions.
Seeing the third lady like this, she doesn't want to marry Wang Dong's family.
A good marriage made him reconcile, what should he do about this?
In order to redeem it, Huai Daochang said: "Actually, Wang Dongjia is your beloved. ”
"Phew, this is the mastermind behind the black pot that made me carry the black pot."
"Ahem." Huai Daochang coughed up blood again. Repeating two sentences, "The heavenly machine must not be leaked, and the heavenly machine must not be leaked." ”
Seeing the appearance of Huai Daochang, he felt pitiful, if he continued to speak, he would not vomit blood to death?
Su Lingyu decided not to talk about it. "Okay, I won't tell you, you can take care of your injuries."
As you go down, you think.
If you can make a steam train, it must have been crossed by modern people.
Judging from the current situation, this person is likely to be Wang Jingxing.
But why doesn't Wang Jingxing admit that he is a modern person?
Could it be to hide your identity? I don't want others to think he's a monster.
It must be.
He didn't admit it, and he couldn't judge him.
No, you have to test him.
Just test him to see if he is a modern person.
Su Lingyu nodded, and it was decided.
