[Gossip System + Mind-Reading + Laid-back Ascent]Chu Liuzheng transmigrated into an alternate ancient era. Forced by circumstances, she entered the Sheng Kingdom's imperial palace. She unexpect...
Chapter 538 Extra 7
At the end of July, Xiao Jingfan arranged everything and took Chu Liuzheng and his two sons from the Summer Resort to Yinsha Island.
In early September, the family of four arrived at the port of Yinsha Island. After attending the wedding of the two miracle doctors, they took a boat to Yuelu Island.
"Mother, are there really mermaids on Yuelu Island?" On the deck, Xiao Dunyan was holding a thin booklet in his hand, which contained records about the appearance of mermaids on Yuelu Island.
"Yes." Little Xiao Dunheng answered quickly, even though he didn't understand what his brother said.
Chu Liuzheng rubbed his son's head with amusement and said to Xiao Dunyan, "There are legends about mermaids on the island. Your father once saw mermaid skeletons. As for whether they really exist, we'll find out when we go and take a look."
[It's not even recorded in the system, so it probably doesn't exist. But it's boring to just tell the answer, so I'll just let the child figure it out for himself.]
It's a pity Huirong gets seasick, otherwise she could have come along. Basking in the sun on the deck, feeling the sea breeze, watching the sunrise and sunset, and chasing schools of fish would be much more relaxing than being in the palace.
"Dad!" Xiao Dunyan clapped his hands with joy when he saw the boat that Xiao Jingfan and the others were riding in coming back.
Chu Liuzheng carried him over and asked with a smile, "How many fish did you catch?"
"I fished it out with a net." Xiao Jingfan grabbed the rope and swiftly climbed over the railing, letting the three of them see the wooden barrel that Xiao Da was holding.
The three heads moved closer together, and saw that there were about twenty fish inside, two of which had brightly colored scales, which Chu Liuzheng had never seen before.
Xiao Dunheng stretched out his tender little white hands and twisted his body to try to catch the fish. Chu Liuzheng almost failed to hold him and quickly threw the child into his father's arms.
If we jump into it, I don’t know whether people will eat fish or fish will eat people.
Xiao Jingfan pinched his son's chubby little face, squatted down and let the child stand next to the wooden barrel, and supported him from behind to let him play, as long as he didn't grab the fish and eat it raw.
Xiao Dunyan also squatted down. Xiao Jingfan looked at him, pointed at the fish he had never seen before, and began to explain to his eldest son.
Seeing that the father and his two sons were having a great time, Chu Liuzheng, who didn't want to eat fish for the time being, took Siyue and Chenxing into the cabin to catch up on some sleep, and they slept until they got off the boat.
The climate on Yuelu Island is pleasant and the scenery is beautiful.
Chu Liuzheng took his two children and a group of people to stroll around the island, picking wild flowers and fruits, fishing on the rocks, digging sand and picking up conchs to build sand castles... From morning to night, they had so much fun that they didn't want to go back to the capital.
But there are so many people and things going on in the capital that I have to go back even if I don’t want to.
After staying on the island for half a month, when everyone was preparing to set off for return, a boat ran aground on the beach near Yuelu Island.
Xiao Jingfan ordered someone to check.
Worried that it was an assassin, Chu Liuzheng quietly opened the system and looked through it. When she saw the identity of the ship owner, she couldn't help but gasp.
[Frog Fun! Han the Big Fraudster! Wasn't he a traitor in Japan? Why did he end up on Yuelu Island?]
Xiao Jingfan was stunned when he heard this. Why didn’t he receive the news that Han Ruoyu had left Japan?
If you walk by the river often, you'll get your feet wet. Even Han Dahuyou, the great liar, had his day. Fortunately, he had prepared a retreat plan in advance and escaped before he was caught.
[The incident happened suddenly, and the tyrant's people had no time to pass on the news to the tyrant.]
Chu Liuzheng pulled it down.
[Wow! Han Dahuyou is really good. He even did something big before leaving!]
Xiao Jingfan waited to hear what was to come, but that was it.
Chu Liuzheng went to coax his son.
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
What great things did Han Ruoyu do?
Before escaping, he not only emptied more than half of Japan's secret gold treasury by replacing it with something else, but also stole the mineral map.
In addition, all firearms that were modified under his guidance had an inconspicuous hidden danger.
In November, pirates plundered the Dasheng merchant caravan. Upon investigation, they were found to be Japanese naval officers in disguise. Furious, Emperor Shunguang dispatched troops to Japan, defeating them so severely that the Japanese army fled in disarray, their weapons becoming scrap metal.
Three months later, the navy returned with a great victory, and Japan, along with two small countries surrounding it, was incorporated into the territory of Dasheng.
After rewarding people based on their merits, Xiao Jingfan sent Han Ruoyu, who had just returned from visiting his relatives, to Wocheng again to supervise the mining of the minerals. The young and strong people in Wocheng took turns working.
The rest of the people moved to a nearby deserted island, and only the ships of the Dasheng Navy were able to dock at the port and regularly transport some supplies to the island.
In order to grab limited supplies, many forces of varying sizes gradually emerged on the island, fighting each other all day long.
In the 12th year of Shunguang, Western Xia launched an invasion and went to war with Dasheng. Both sides had their victories and defeats, and in the end Dasheng was slightly victorious.
In May of the 13th year of Shunguang's reign, Queen Chu gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Emperor Shunguang was overjoyed and issued an imperial decree of grace.
On the same year's Wanshou Festival, the Queen of Goryeo visited Dasheng and was willing to pay tribute to Dasheng in exchange for seedlings and planting methods.
In the 14th year of Shunguang, Gaochang was in chaos. General Aydar led his troops to quell the rebellion, cleared the court of corrupt officials, and was named the crown prince.
Two months later, the Emperor of Gaochang abdicated due to illness and the crown prince ascended the throne. Dasheng sent envoys to congratulate him.
In the 15th year of Shunguang, the Xixia emperor's eye disease worsened and he was almost blind. He searched for famous doctors everywhere, and chaos gradually arose in Xixia.
In the 16th year of Shunguang, potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn had another bumper harvest in Dasheng, becoming common delicacies on the tables of the people of Dasheng, and the name of the Phoenix Girl became more and more famous.
The surrounding small countries successively paid tribute to Da Sheng, just to obtain seedlings suitable for their own cultivation.
After the tax reform, the imperial court's supervision was effective, and the people's exorbitant taxes and levies gradually decreased. The people finally had enough money to get out of the land and do some small business to make a living.
Dasheng's business development was unprecedentedly prosperous, and trade with various countries was in full swing.
Under the various policies launched by the imperial court to benefit farmers and businesses, the number of births in Dasheng increased year by year. Even in years of famine, few people starved to death, and the country was thriving.
In July, the Western Xia suddenly sent troops to attack Gaochang. Gaochang was defeated and asked for help from Dasheng. With the help of Dasheng, the Western Xia retreated.
Gaochang signed a hundred-year partnership agreement with Dasheng and purchased seedlings worth ten thousand gold coins from Dasheng.
In October of the same year, the Western Xia emperor lost his right eye and showed signs of blindness in his left eye, and the civil unrest in Western Xia intensified.
A group of assassins suddenly appeared on Yinsha Island, intending to kidnap the two miracle doctors Feng and Qin, but were shot dead by a mysterious man on the island.
It is rumored that these assassins were sent by the Xixia Emperor to capture two miracle doctors to treat his eye disease. The Xixia Emperor did not respond to the rumors.
During the Qianqiu Festival, the Xixia envoys attempted to kidnap the Queen of Chu but failed. They then tried to assassinate her at a palace banquet, but Emperor Shunguang personally cut off her head and sent it back to the Xixia Kingdom.
Upon learning that Queen Chu was assassinated at a palace banquet, the people of Dasheng were outraged and called on the emperor to seek justice for the queen.
In March of the following year, when spring came and the snow melted, Dasheng sent troops to Western Xia, and the two countries officially went to war.
Two years later, Dasheng troops arrived at the capital of Western Xia and demanded that the Western Xia emperor die to apologize, otherwise they would massacre the city.
After a day and night of confrontation, the Western Xia Emperor, Wei Mingliang, was tied to the city wall. He looked utterly miserable and cried out to heaven, "God is unfair. He sent the Phoenix Girl to Sheng, but had no mercy on the Western Xia." In full view of the crowd, he committed suicide on the city wall, his blood splattering three feet.
The city gate opened, and the new emperor of Western Xia came out holding a letter of surrender, expressing his willingness to submit to Dasheng.
[Frog Fun! The butterfly died already?!]
Chu Liuzheng, who was eating melon in the palace, spat out two pieces of melon seed shells, his eyes slightly widened, and he was very confused.
[It's fine if others believe Fengnu, but why does someone as smart as Hua Hudie also believe it?]
[What's with the idea of destiny not being in one's own hands? Flowery Butterfly, don't you think his defeat by the tyrant is all because of me, a fake Phoenix girl?]
[Tsk tsk, how could a mere idler like me have such extraordinary abilities?]
She shook her head and continued to crunch the melon seeds.
[I really don't understand what these smart people are thinking. I'd better just keep eating melons.]
[Sigh, I really envy Brother Xiaoyao. Why can't my system take me to every world? I wonder which world Brother Xiaoyao is in now?]
[However, before he left, he did help me out by accident. He told me about the tyrant's treasure, which saved me a lot of trouble.]
[Hehe, once Lady Yan builds a real mechanical beast, I'll drag Tyrant and my baby along to go treasure hunting together! !]
The full text is over.
Thank you all so much for your company!!
I saw several people saying that the ending was unexpected. Did no one notice that I started wrapping up so early?
I didn't even open a new line, I thought it was obvious -_-
I feel like I have filled in all the gaps. This is my first time writing a sequel, and I don’t know what to write. I feel like what I wrote doesn’t quite resemble the original. Let me study it more later.
I originally wanted to write a treasure hunt spin-off, even had the outline laid out, but after careful consideration, I decided it was too off-topic, so I gave up. I'll just let Liu Zheng do his own thing and I won't get involved.
Anyway, I just write casually, and you guys can just read it. I hope you enjoy it. If you’re not happy, don’t look for me. See you in the next book if you’re lucky^v^~
