While others face unemployment upon graduation, Chen Jinyue faced bankruptcy. Waking up one day, she inherited millions in debt. Her younger brother absconded with all the cash, fleeing abroad. To ...
Chapter 164 Jiang Guo went to another parallel time and space
The two sat in the reception room.
The reception room is now much more comfortable than before. There is good tea and tea sets, and we can finally make tea on the spot.
Jiang Qian sat opposite, staring at the kettle without blinking.
Still with that clear and silly look, waiting for the water to boil, he couldn't help but sigh, "This thing is really magical!"
Chen Jinyue smiled and said, "This is also burned by electricity, right at the socket. Be careful and don't touch it next time. If you accidentally touch it, it will be like being struck by lightning."
Jiang Qi'an's face was serious, and he nodded seriously like a good child, "Okay, I will pay attention!"
Chen Jinyue poured him a cup of tea and started the conversation, "How is it? Are you here to tell me the good news?"
When Jiang Qian'an talked about serious matters, his expression became a little more serious.
"The journey back to Beijing was quite bumpy. But the outcome was positive. We conquered the invading Qiuchi State, and for the first time, the neighboring countries began to fear us..."
In the past, Jiang State was not taken seriously.
In particular, the Qiuchi State invaded them repeatedly, trying to take the opportunity to annex them.
This time the border cities were well fortified, and the barbarian army suffered heavy losses from natural disasters and had no energy to harass again.
So the Xiao family army and Kyoto joined forces to repel the Qiuchi army in one fell swoop.
Then, they pursued the victory and actually took over this country...
"etc!"
Chen Jinyue grasped the key point and pressed the issue, "Which country are you talking about? Qiuchi?"
Jiang Qi'an nodded in affirmation, "Yes."
Chen Jinyue was a little confused. She had never heard of Jiang State, but there were records of the ancient State of Qiuchi in history.
A small independent country, surrounded by powerful enemies, weak in strength and with a sparse population.
Even traditional historians did not include it in the list of the "Five Barbarians and Sixteen Kingdoms", which shows how insignificant it was.
However, faced with such an unfavorable situation, this country persisted for more than three hundred years and was called the "Xiao Qiang" of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
So now, Jiang State has annexed it?
Annexed!
But if that is the case, why is there no record of the State of Jiang in history books?
Suddenly, a possibility popped up in her mind——
Perhaps, the moment Jiang State annexed Qiuchi State, the direction of the situation changed completely.
Jiang Guo went to another parallel time and space.
A time and space that does not belong to their world.
But what about the general’s tomb?
She couldn't help but ask directly, "Where is General Xiao?"
The moment the words came out of his mouth, Jiang Qian'an's face turned pale.
Chen Jinyue saw the answer from his expression.
"General Xiao, died in battle on the eve of conquering Qiuchi State?" she continued to ask tentatively.
Jiang Qi'an nodded, then shook his head, looking somewhat defeated. "General Xiao, you defended the Imperial City and died fighting for your father."
Chen Jinyue suddenly realized that this made sense.
Qiuchi State was a turning point.
Before that, history overlapped with this world, but after that, it was a matter of another time and space.
So according to this logic, the only thing left of the Jiang Kingdom is the general's tomb?
That's not right. The ancestral temple at the border was built before the occupation of Qiuchi State...
"Actually, he didn't die fighting for my father. It was my father who killed him!" After saying that, Jiang Qian'an seemed to have finally failed to hold back, and he added the truth.
Chen Jinyue, “???”
Jiang Qian'an complained excitedly that the imperial city was occupied at that time.
Although they returned to Beijing late, they still had the military advantage and planned to negotiate peace with the Qiuchi army.
But the Emperor of Jiang sent out a distress signal, and General Xiao decided to lead a team of people to sneak into the imperial city quietly and rescue him secretly.
They did this secretly, and had already contacted the emperor and were ready to take him away.
As a result, the emperor was unwilling and insisted on going out to find another beauty.
After finding the beauty, the two men were unwilling to disguise themselves and ordered General Xiao to drive out the Qiuchi army.
The argument was discovered. General Xiao was outnumbered and planned to forcibly evacuate with the emperor. However, the emperor pushed him to block the knife in anger.
"His whole life, he has been attacked from all sides."
Jiang Qi'an's smile was somewhat sad and mocking, "He performed his duties faithfully, yet was suspected by the emperor. He risked his life to rescue him, yet nothing was left."
"His death is a tragedy for the Jiang Kingdom. No wonder such a country died silently."
"It's a pity that no one cares about this loyal minister. My father is still lying in bed, and he still thinks his actions are natural..."
After listening to this, Chen Jinyue didn't speak for a long time.
I never expected to hear such dramatic details.
The military situation is urgent, General Xiao died in battle, and General Feng is unreliable. Is this why Jiang Qian'an doesn't dare to come?
She looked at the pain and forbearance on his face and comforted him, "Yes, you remember General Xiao. You buried him with the ceremony of someone who died on the battlefield, so that history will remember him as well."
Jiang Qi'an, "..."
He looked at Chen Jinyue blankly.
After a few seconds of pause, he finally reacted incredulously, "History, remember General Xiao? Isn't there any record of Jiang State in history?"
This fact was not only told to him by Miss Chen, but he also read books and learned about Miss Chen's world.
In the tortuous and brilliant history of more than 5,000 years, there is no trace of the Jiang Kingdom.
I couldn't find it on that omnipotent computer either.
Chen Jinyue didn't say anything, but suddenly turned on the computer and searched for the report on the general's tomb.
Then turn the screen around to face him.
Jiang Qianan looked at her doubtfully, then his eyes fell on the screen.
One eye and ten lines.
As he watched, his expression changed.
From shock to ecstasy, and then to relief.
At the end, his eyes were slightly red, and his voice was trembling with suppressed excitement, "Great! Great! General Xiao is worthy of being an important minister of my Jiang Kingdom, and his name will be passed down through the ages..."
The slender fingers slid down skillfully, and then saw some questions. Are those things plastic and glass?
How could something that is out of touch with the times appear in that country?
"Miss Chen, will this cause you trouble?" He raised his eyes suddenly, his face full of worry.
He remembered that Chen Jinyue had previously told him that the Space-Time Exchange was too bizarre and for safety reasons, he should not let more people know about it.
Did the appearance of this cenotaph make others doubt her?
Chen Jinyue pursed his lips and was silent for a moment. "I was a little worried during that time, but now I'm fine for now."
After thinking for a moment, she continued to confirm with him, "Is the ancestral temple at the border still being worshipped?"
"My father is seriously ill. I am now the crown prince of Jiang State, handling state affairs on his behalf. I will remain in the capital with full authority. Yesterday, I sent people to the border to move the ancestral temple back to the capital..."
When Chen Jinyue heard this, he suddenly understood.
In other words, her ancestral temple is located in the capital, but there is no temple at the border for the time being?
No wonder!
That makes sense!
Everything that happened after the conquest of Qiuchi State will not be passed down!
After Jiang Qi'an finished answering, he also realized what Chen Jinyue meant. "How about I make a new portrait, using the clothes commonly seen in Jiang Country, and using the girl's face?"
The ancestral temple represents extraordinary significance. He can find ways to hide the information, but he still doesn't want to give up the offerings.
Miss Chen is their benefactor at the border...
"good."
Chen Jinyue nodded and reminded him, "It would be better if you can redo it. In the future, when we do business, please try to destroy any traces that do not belong to Jiang Nation."
