Chapter 207: Time and Space Realm
After sending Zeng Tai and He Yun away, Di Renjie asked this guy who called himself Yuwen Chengdu to sit down, and he also sat on the side.
Di Renjie asked Yuwen Chengdu some old things about the former Sui, and Yuwen Chengdu answered them one by one. If you are not a person who has experienced the events of the past, it is difficult to explain the details of the matter so clearly.
Even if he has read a lot of history books and memorized all the details in his mind, a military general who can walk dozens of rounds with Li Yuanfang, and can recite many secret histories of the former Sui Dynasty, the probability of this kind of thing happening seems to be about the same as the probability of him traveling through eighty years.
After all, there have been legends such as "Rotten Ke Chess Game" and "Huangliang One Dream", and compared with the 21st century people who have received scientific education, Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang in the 7th century AD are more likely to accept this kind of thing.
"So, are you really Yuwen Chengdu? The former Sui Tianbao General only came eighty years later?" Di Renjie asked.
Yuwen Chengdu nodded, sighed and said, "Exactly, that day I was murdered by my subordinate Jiang Xiaolang, I fought hard, but suddenly a flower in front of me came to the world eighty years later."
"When I first arrived, I was very puzzled by the surrounding environment, robbed a few people on the road, and asked about the current dynasty, but I only thought they were lying to me."
"Because eighty years have passed, all the people I knew at that time have died, and the Yuwen clan will not recognize me, an ancestor who should have died for decades, so I found a thatched hut in the mountains and forests, robbed houses for a living, and lived day by day."
"Later, a few months later, my news was learned for some reason, and a group of people, who seemed to be some officials of the imperial court, came to recruit me under their command, saying that they had taken a fancy to my martial arts and asked me to kill people for them."
"I've become a loner, so killing someone is nothing. I just don't know why, they even asked me to pretend to be my dead self, and I told them, I'm still alive, why should I pretend to be dead?"
"Naturally, they didn't believe me, but when I lost my mind and went crazy, they followed me. Tell me that I found Jiang Xiaolang who planned to harm me in the first place, and asked me to kill him to take revenge."
"I thought that some of the things in the past eighty years had nothing to do with me, but I didn't expect this Jiang Xiaolang to be alive, so I promised them to kill Jiang Xiaolang. After that, I pretended to be my dead self and helped them kill people."
Di Renjie said, "Since you are the Tianbao General of the Former Sui, after coming to these eighty years, don't you have any thoughts of avenging the Former Sui royal family?"
Yuwen Chengdu smiled bitterly: "Alas, eighty years have passed, things are not people, and even Tang has been replaced by a female streamer, becoming the so-called "Great Zhou". Although I didn't really die, it was like I went through it once, and I saw these things a little bit."
"Therefore, after killing Jiang Xiaolang, those people provided me with food and shelter, and I killed people for them. I don't care about anything else, but if you want to ask me about them, I'm afraid it won't come to fruition."
Di Renjie said: "That's the case, I didn't expect that the second good man in the world in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the great general Yuwen Chengdu, is now doing the work of a professional killer."
Yuwen Chengdu pointed to the nightshade next to him and said, "Then she was still a princess a thousand years ago, isn't she still a mortal now?"
Di Renjie didn't plan to dwell on this matter anymore, but continued to ask other details about the people who hired him to kill people in Yuwen Chengdu, trying to find their identities.
"How did I find out who those two old men were? Someone sent a letter."
"I stayed in a hut nearby, and every time I needed to kill someone, pigeons would come and tell me where to go and what to kill."
Hearing Yuwen Chengdu's words, Di Renjie nodded thoughtfully.
From this point of view, knowing that those two old men are actually survivors of the Jiang family is actually a person, not some ghost in the netherworld.
And since it is human, it is well documented.
As of last night, there are only a few people who know the true identities of the two old men, and ...... of them
"Well, I probably do, tell me how you got here eighty years later." Di Renjie said.
Yuwen Chengdu recalled for a moment and said, "If you talk about this
A miracle indeed."
"At that time, Jiang Xiaolang rebelled, and there was a great mutiny in the camp, so I led some of my own soldiers to rush into battle and try to find Jiang Xiaolang."
"At this moment, one of my lieutenants suddenly raised his hand and pointed it into the air, his face was very frightened, and he shouted, "General, look!" 」
"When I looked up, I saw a huge dragon head faintly visible in the air more than ten feet high!"
Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang came to their senses and asked, "Dragonhead? What does it look like?"
Yuwen Chengdu said: "I can't see it very clearly, the time was too short, I just had time to look up, and suddenly I felt that there was chaos around me, and my head was also dizzy, and when I woke up again, it was eighty years later."
"That dragon head has two horns on its head, and its whole body seems to glow golden."
Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang glanced at each other, and felt that the dragon head described by Yuwen Chengdu seemed to be similar to the Gorzan they had seen before, but it couldn't exactly correspond.
Under Di Renjie's questioning, Yuwen Chengdu reluctantly remembered one thing, that is, when the dragon head appeared, there seemed to be ripples similar to water waves around it, and the surrounding scenery and soldiers could not be distinguished, but there was no feeling of sinking in the water.
This reminded Di Renjie of the legend "Time and Space Realm" that he had seen in ancient books, it is said that it occasionally occurs in deep mountains and old forests and other places, time and space are chaotic, and there are often artifacts and characters that do not belong to this era, but they are fleeting and have no trace.
After that, Yuwen Chengdu answered some more questions, but since he came to the world eighty years later, he has basically been in a state of rottenness, and his kung fu has been wasted a lot, just thinking about eating and waiting for death, so he responded to some of Di Renjie's questions with "I don't know" and "didn't ask".
It made Di Renjie angry enough.
"Forget it, that's all for today."
Di Renjie shook his head, stood up, and looked at Yuwen Chengdu.
"You should have died eighty years ago, you are not a person from this plane, if I kill you, it can be said that it is not justified, and it will expose this time-traveling matter to everyone."
"But, after all, you've killed hundreds of people on this plane. If I don't kill you, I won't be able to convince myself."
Yuwen Chengdu was very open-minded: "In that case, kill me." I want to see if after I die, will my soul return to the Great Sui or stay in this world."
Di Renjie stared at him for a long time, and sighed, "Forget it, now, I am not in a hurry to convict and sentence you."
He waved his hand and asked Li Yuanfang to take Yuwen Chengdu down and detain him secretly, while he thought about this series of information.
There are too many clues he has gained today, and he needs to sort them out.
