Chapter 1: The Straw Boy

"Oh my god! Is this true?" Su Xing looked at the handsome man in ancient costume in the bronze mirror, and his eyes instantly widened like bronze bells.

He thought the image that just flooded into his mind was just a dream, but unexpectedly, it was real!

He traveled through time!

Moreover, it was worn by a notorious idiot!

Cao Bao, also known as Su Xing, was the son of Su Yuan, the Minister of Revenue of this era. Because he was born in his old age and the son was handsome, he was loved since childhood.

As a result, Su Xing, who was less than 20 years old, was not good at studying, but was good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

In fact, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling are nothing. After all, there are so many playboys in the imperial city, and he won’t be the only one.

The reason why he has a bad reputation is mainly because he has a shameful habit of liking men's sexuality...

In modern times with open-mindedness, homosexuality is despised, let alone in the feudal ancient times?

But this idiot didn't care about other people's opinions at all. Not only did he not hide his feelings, he even confessed his love for his dream girl in public and threatened to win her over.

If it were just this, Su Xing would also admire this idiot for his courage to love and hate.

But unfortunately, the person to whom this idiot confessed his love was the regent of the current dynasty, Ye Linghan!

That’s Ye Linghan!

He went to the battlefield at the age of sixteen. He was a devil who killed people without blinking an eye. His methods were extremely cruel. He would kill without leaving any survivors. With this ruthlessness, he had never lost a battle.

This is why, in just a few years, China was able to dominate among the four countries, leaving the other three countries with nothing but envy and not even jealousy.

How brave was this idiot? The most hateful thing was that after he confessed his feelings, he drank a jar of wine and drank himself to death.

And he came through at this time...

"What a disaster..." Su Xing was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet, not knowing how to express his depressed and miserable mood at the moment.

How could someone like Ye Linghan allow people to have such lustful thoughts?

And in public!

Finished! He is dead!

Ye Linghan would definitely put the blame on him, but he couldn't explain it clearly...

When Su Xing thought of the various torture methods used in ancient times, his heart began to beat wildly uncontrollably.

But at the same time as he was afraid, he also felt a surge of resentment in his chest. It was clearly not his fault, so why should he bear the consequences?

no!

He had to think of a solution and couldn't just sit there and wait for death!

After all, he comes from a world that is countless times more advanced than this one, so saving himself shouldn't be a problem, right?

Thinking of the world in the past, the resentment in my heart instantly turned into endless regret.

His dream since childhood was to become a forensic doctor, and he was already an intern forensic doctor and was about to be promoted to a full-time position, but he didn't expect...

Sadness came over Su Xing like a wave, but after a moment, he shook his head vigorously and forced himself to cheer up.

He is not a person who likes to complain. Now that things have come to this, he should look forward.

At this moment, a cry of surprise came from outside the door: "Sir! It's bad! The Regent has sent people to arrest you!"

The confidence that Su Xing had just built up suddenly collapsed like a deflated balloon.

He turned around immediately and saw a hurried servant running in, followed by two expressionless guards...

"You..." Before Su Xing finished speaking, he was interrupted by the guards coldly: "Su Xing! The Regent wants to see you!"

Su Xing had never seen such a scene before. He was so frightened that his legs went weak and his face turned pale.

The two guards had no intention of waiting for Su Xing's response. After they finished speaking, they took a step forward, grabbed Su Xing's arms on the left and right, and walked out the door.

It was so easy, just like carrying a chick or a duckling.

The servant was so frightened that he wanted to go forward but didn't dare. He could only follow behind and cry, "Master..."

After being carried out of the house, the cold wind blew and the dazed Su Xing suddenly woke up.

Although still afraid, he was much calmer than before.

He looked at the two guards separately. In fact, they were both handsome, but their temperament was too cold, so it was scary.

He took a deep breath and asked bravely: "Two, two brothers, may I ask why the prince wants to see me?"

The two guards originally had grim expressions, but upon hearing these words, terrible anger instantly ignited on their faces.

"Have you forgotten what Master Su has done?" One of the guards glared at Su Xing fiercely, with a warning in his eyes that you should just wait for death.

Su Xing was so scared that he trembled all over!

Finished!

Even the Regent's guards were so angry, let alone the Regent himself?

It's really over now!

Su Xing's heart sank suddenly, but just when it was about to sink to the bottom, he was pulled up again with strength from nowhere.

He silently comforted himself not to think so badly.

Although the regent is terrible, he is still wise, otherwise he would have become emperor long ago.

Before the late emperor passed away, he passed the throne to the tenth prince who had just learned to walk, instead of Ye Linghan who had made great contributions to the Ye Kingdom.

Everyone suggested that Ye Linghan take his place, but he flatly refused, saying that he would never do anything that violated moral laws.

He fantasized about the Regent in public. Although the circumstances were serious, it shouldn't be a capital crime, right?

What's more, his father is the Minister of Revenue, so the Regent must give him some face...

Thinking of this, Su Xing actually felt a lot more relaxed.

But this moment of relaxation disappeared the moment he saw Ye Linghan...

He didn't know how to describe the shock in his heart. How could someone in this world have such a terrifying aura?

Although he was just sitting there with his head down, he gave people an extremely terrifying sense of oppression, making people tremble all over and even want to kneel down and surrender immediately...

Su Xing felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him, and even breathing became difficult.

No wonder he can lead troops into battle. This terrifying aura alone can scare the enemy half to death, right?

That idiot... where does he get the courage to fantasize about someone like this...

Su Xing wanted to cut the straw bag into eight pieces immediately and chop it into meat sauce to feed the dogs!

But this is just a meaningless fantasy. Instead of doing this, it is better to seize the time and kowtow and admit your mistake.

"Greetings, Prince Regent!" Su Xing swore that when he was a child he never knelt so straight when asking for New Year's money.

"I deserve to die! I shouldn't have drunk and gotten into trouble! I beg the Regent to forgive my sins and spare my life!"

From the moment Su Xing entered the room, Ye Linghan did not even look up at him, his gaze always fixed on the file in his hand.

The file was filled with words, and many places were circled in red pen. Words such as "cause of death unknown" could be vaguely seen.

It was a long time after he finished speaking that he slowly raised his head, his handsome face revealing terrifying majesty and dominance.

He glanced at Su Xing calmly, and his thin lips moved: "What trouble have you gotten into?"

Although the voice was cold, there was no anger in it.

Su Xing couldn't help but pause. Didn't the Regent arrest him to punish him? Why are you still asking?

He raised his head in confusion, but was stunned as soon as his eyes met Ye Linghan's face.

The Regent was surprisingly so handsome, his facial features looked as if they were carefully carved, and every part of him was incredibly perfect.

But people dare not admire such a perfect face because it is too scary.

Especially those bottomless black eyes, like a terrifying black hole that can suck you in at any time...

Su Xing hurriedly lowered his head and answered honestly: "Reply, reply to the Regent, yesterday, I said something that I shouldn't have said, and insulted the Regent's reputation..."

After a while, the cold and ruthless voice sounded again: "What did you say?"
