Chapter 55: Steam Train in Ancient Times



It seems that in every world, Chu Xun's marriage will become a matter of concern for those around him - of course, Si Qi is the same.

It has been seven years since Si Qi mentioned the matter of taking a concubine in the study. Now the territory of Chu has reached the other side of the planet, and it has become a global hegemon. Chu Xun has long passed the stage of establishing a career before starting a family.

However, the candidate who can inherit the throne has not appeared, and even cannot be born, because the noble Emperor of Chu has no intention of taking a concubine until now.

Many people are anxious to persuade His Majesty, who is now over 30 years old, and they are so anxious that they lose a lot of hair. Some people

also found Si Qi, who is also keen on being single, and wanted to ask this Prime Minister who is second only to the emperor to persuade the emperor.

Unfortunately, the results all ended in failure. The Prime Minister did go, but the responses he received were not satisfactory. Moreover, the court officials who had instigated the Prime Minister to go were eventually warned and punished by His Majesty. As a result, no one dared to come to Si Qi to persuade him.

Some people were quick to sense that something was wrong, and they were so frightened by their own guesses that they lost their appetite and felt inexplicably panicked.

They carefully observed the situation, not knowing whether it was a suspicion of stealing an axe or it was true. They felt that the eyes of Emperor Chu looking at Prime Minister Si were particularly gentle, even a little doting.

Fortunately, Prime Minister Si was still as cold as ever, but when he occasionally looked at His Majesty, his eyes would be gentler, as if he was looking at his close brother.

This made many ministers feel relieved. They thought that if Lord Si also had that intention, they would have no chance to persuade him.

So they were so nervous and cautious that they persuaded His Majesty to leave an heir as soon as possible. These ministers who were clear-headed watched His Majesty wait for Lord Si for more than ten years without success. Even after more than ten years, they did not see any ambiguous relationship between the two.

Until one day, the Emperor of Chu suddenly announced that he would select a child from the royal family as the crown prince. This news shocked everyone in the world, except for this group of ministers who had seen something from the beginning.

It even felt a little bit expected.

They could only sigh at the depth of His Majesty's love, thinking that if Lord Si did not get married in his lifetime, His Majesty would probably wait for him forever, and this time they began to collectively persuade Si Qi to get married soon.

Si Qi was confused.

When did these guys who wanted to avoid him become so bold that they even dared to ask about his private life.

The words "Don't get married until you meet someone you like" made those ministers very sad. They thought, Your Majesty, how sad you would be if you heard this. The more they thought about it, the more sad they felt. They even wiped their tears and cried in front of Si Qi, which made Si Qi very confused and drove everyone away.

It was probably from this day that some strange messages began to circulate on Chuxing. What about His Majesty and Chief Minister Si are both single, His Majesty is infatuated with Chief Minister Si, but Chief Minister Si is unwilling to accept it, the story is so convincing that it makes Si Qi extremely angry.

How can they make up the deep friendship between him and Chu Feng that spans several worlds like this? It's too much!

But the media still asked carefully in a roundabout way: "What does Lord Si think of homosexuality?"

Si Qi knew that every word he said would have a huge impact. Although he knew that saying this at this time might lead to greater misunderstandings, he still answered honestly: "I don't think so. This is a very common thing."

The media exploded instantly. Many people watched the live broadcast on the Internet and cried and said, "Your Majesty has hope." Si Qi was so angry because of their barrage of comments.

When he got home, his sister Si Peihuan happened to come to see him with her children. Seeing his distressed look, she said with a smile: "Even the invincible Si Qi, will he encounter problems that he can't solve?"

Si Qi: "Don't mention it, I'm very upset now."

Si Peihuan said cheerfully: "You feel upset, haven't I already explained the answer?"

Si Qi was stunned.

Si Peihuan walked over and gently touched the young man's cheek: "Choose a choice that you won't regret."

This sentence made the young man, who was originally a little moved, calm down instantly.

He said expressionlessly: [Will I meet Chu Feng again in the future? 】

Xiu Xiu said uncertainly: [Maybe.]

Si Qi sighed: [But even if he does, after I meet him again, he will still forget everything about me. I have to lose him again and again, and then keep looking for him... What if one day, I can't find him anymore, what should I do? 】

Xiu Xiu was silent and didn't know how to answer.

Si Qi also stayed quiet for a long time, and then in Si Peihuan's unexpected eyes, he shook his head and said: "Forget it."

Si Peihuan was a little shocked and puzzled.

"Why?" She couldn't help but ask.

Aren't Si Qi and Emperor Chu the most suitable couple in the world?

Si Qi said, "It's not appropriate."

He turned his back to Si Peihuan, and showed with his attitude that he didn't want to listen to Si Peihuan's advice anymore. Si Peihuan could only sigh helplessly and turned to the kitchen to cook for her brother.

Si Qi thought about it seriously for a long time. A few nights later, he couldn't help but say to Xiu Xiu: [Can I bring Chu Feng to the World Tower and let the supervisor allow him to become a fast-travel member? ]

Xiu Xiu was speechless. He seemed to be panicking about something, and stammered: [This, this, this...]

Seeing that Xiu Xiu couldn't answer, Si Qi sighed and said: [Can you record everything that happened between Chu Feng and me? Maybe one day, they might come in handy.

For example, show these contents in the form of a video to Chu Feng in another world, so that he can believe that he and Chu Feng have a predestined relationship in the previous life.

Xiu Xiu assured: [Of course no problem!]

Si Qi said and fell silent again.

Xiu Xiu felt the emotions conveyed by Si Qi, and couldn't help but said in a tangled way: [Master, are you sad?]

Si Qi: [Maybe]

Xiu Xiu hesitated: [Master... Xiu Xiu has something to say to you...]

Si Qi was puzzled: [What?]

Xiu Xiu was tangled and tangled, and suddenly burst into tears, which scared Si Qi: [Xiu Xiu can't say it now, Xiu Xiu is so scared]

Si Qi: […………]

Although Xiuxiu may seem unreliable sometimes, as an intelligent AI with a set of logical algorithms, he rarely makes mistakes on his own initiative. Therefore, Si Qi did not ask further questions or doubt, but comforted him: [I know, when you want to say it, just tell me. Why are you afraid? Can I do something for you?]

Xiuxiu cried: [Wait until Xiuxiu tells the master, the master will know]

[Okay] He bought a lot of candies and toys from the mall, put them in the consciousness space and gave them to Xiuxiu, [Don't be afraid, the master is here]

Xiuxiu cried loudly: [Xiuxiu is so touched, it's great that Xiuxiu can become the master's system! Wuwuwuwuwu...]

Si Qi listened to the voice in his head and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

But after this conversation, he still decided to maintain a lifelong relationship of monarch and subject, and friendship with Chu Feng.

Many people felt sorry for this, but since it was the choice made by Lord Si, no one could force him.

His relationship with Chu Feng has always been very good, so good that people around them would wonder why you two don't stay together when you both regard each other as your only ones.

After all, there is no one and no resistance in this world that can stop them, right?

Just like this, more than ten years passed, and the spacecraft ascended. After arriving on the moon, Si Qi said to Chu Feng, the wish you made to me that year has come true.

Chu Feng was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed dumbly.

"Yeah, I didn't expect it to come true so soon."

On the huge screen, the astronauts in thick space suits left their footprints on the surface of the moon, and the entire command center erupted in unparalleled excitement and shouting. At this moment, people on the entire planet were cheering and crying for this. Si Qi had to get a little closer to Chu Feng and said to him, "Next, what do you wish for?"

Conquering all places on the planet, letting the flag of Chu fly in every corner of the world, even the name of the planet was named Chu Star. Is

everything over?

No.

He doesn't want it to end like this.

He wants to leave more memories with this person.

However, Chu Feng smiled and said, "My wish is to support you in doing everything you want to do."

Si Qi's expression softened after hearing this, and he nodded after a moment: "I am doing what I want to do now."

Chu Feng smiled gently: "That's good."

Time passed day by day, and several decades passed in the blink of an eye. Human beings' steps in exploring the universe have moved from the solar system to the Milky Way.

On this day, the whole country was gray. Whether it was the expressions on people's faces or the pages on the TV media network.

The great King of Chu, who personally expanded the Chu State from a small country to the whole world, passed away at the age of 96.

The moment the news was announced, everyone couldn't believe it.

The cry spread to every corner of the planet. Many people subconsciously came to the outer perimeter of the palace. Under the obstruction of the guards, they sat on the ground and cried until they were almost fainting.

Not long after, the media captured the picture of Lord Si coming to the palace with a lonely expression. Many people looked at the haggard face of the old man with worry, fearing that he would not be able to bear this blow. Many people stopped crying loudly, shed tears silently, and gave encouragement and comfort to Si Qi.

Si Qi just nodded tiredly to the people around him. The sad look made many people nervous. They didn't know why they had some bad premonitions.

The funeral ended solemnly under the presidency of the current Majesty. Si Qi personally sent his old friend off for the last time.

The next day, his body was found by the guards. Many people who had a premonition in their hearts were all stunned. Many people could not accept the blow and fainted. Many people who were already in a heavy mood and had not yet been relieved were devastated. Most of the shops on the street were closed, and all entertainment companies were closed. Walking on the street, there was no smile at all. Everyone pinned a white cloth on their sleeves, and crying seemed to be heard everywhere.

From then on, the third and thirteenth of this month every year became national memorial days. The names of Si Qi and Chu Feng may be engraved in the minds of people in this world for the rest of their lives.

...

Three hundred years later.

The second habitable planet after Chuxing was discovered by humans. At this moment when the whole world cheered and applauded, the current Emperor of Chu announced that this planet would be named Qixing.

Si Qi's name has therefore once again entered the public's eyes in the form of national attention. Many netizens have said: "It seems not surprising at all."

"It's better to say that apart from Mr. Si, no one else is qualified to name this planet."

"Take this opportunity to talk about Mr. Si's achievements in the past, shall we?"

"Come on, the TV series and movies have been filmed so many times, isn't it enough? Everyone knows it."

"Don't talk about the TV series, I studied from elementary school to doctoral degree, and I can see Mr. Si's name from beginning to end in my textbooks. It's amazing..."

"How can someone in this world be so powerful? If Si Lao could live a few more decades, Qi Xing would have been discovered by us long ago."

Others said that the netizens' praise was too exaggerated, and said, "Come on, Si Qi is an ancient man. The spacecraft of that era could barely leave the Milky Way, so how could they master the leap technology and explore such a huge universe?"

Then this statement caused everyone to laugh at them: "The above is so naive."

"Do you know how far our civilization had developed when Si Lao was born?"

"Some scholars speculate that if Si Lao had not single-handedly pushed ancient civilization into the modern era, we would not be able to solve the problem of food and food, and the average life expectancy would be only 40 years old, and the most luxurious means of transportation would still be a horse-drawn carriage."

"It's terrible to be uneducated. Don't you know that leapfrog technology and interstellar detection technology are the basic theories proposed by Mr. Si, which gave all scientific researchers a specific research direction, so they were conquered by us humans in just a few decades?"

"The global positioning automatic charging technology launched two years ago was developed under the leadership of Mr. Si, so now you can't even find a charging plug on the streets. The sad thing is that the technology that was said to be almost completed at the time, we didn't officially realize it until three hundred years later. Because Mr. Si passed away by then, it took us a full three hundred years to complete the last step."

"Is it true? That's too exaggerated, right?!"

"In the last official interview video, the president of the Institute of Space Science and Technology said in person that if Mr. Si were still alive, their thousands of scientific researchers would not need so much time to solve the technical difficulties of the leap, and they only needed to ask Mr. Si. They all believed that if the scientific technology at that time had not developed to the point where it could provide accurate relevant data, thus limiting Mr. Si's subsequent research, Mr. Si would definitely be able to write all the formulas by himself in the manuscripts left behind."

"Hey, now that you mention this, it reminds me of the video that the school showed us of people of that era mourning Mr. Si. That atmosphere, wow, it was really amazing."

"Yeah, I was stunned when I saw it. Those people in the video all fainted from crying, and I could feel their sadness through the screen. They really loved Mr. Si."

"After all, many of them had experienced hard times when they were young, and it was Mr. Si who made sure they had enough food and clothing and lived a life they could never even dream of. You can imagine how deep the feelings people of that era had for Mr. Si were."

"Oh, if only the King of Chu could live a few more years."

"Yeah, I always thought that Mr. Si died right after supporting the King of Chu because he couldn't bear the blow. I heard that Mr. Si was still in good health back then. The medical staff around him cried and said in interviews that they couldn't believe that Mr. Si would pass away so suddenly."

"Speaking of which... there must be something between them, right? We dare not film it in the TV series, for fear of offending the great man, but I just think there must be something."

"I think so too... I watched the video of the interaction between His Majesty the King of Chu and Mr. Si, and His Majesty the King of Chu definitely has feelings for Mr. Si! After all, Mr. Si is so powerful and so handsome. The two of them knew each other when they were young and fought side by side for so many years, and yet they are both single all their lives. If there is no hidden secret here, I will never believe it!!"

"Yes, I still remember that all the media were discussing whether there was an ambiguous relationship between His Majesty the King of Chu and Si Lao. The King of Chu publicly stated that the Prime Minister had no plans to marry anyone, and asked everyone to respect the Prime Minister's wishes and not to speculate too much and bring him trouble. This attitude clearly shows that he has that kind of thought in his heart but does not want to force his sweetheart. Otherwise, why doesn't he just say directly that he doesn't have that kind of feeling for the Prime Minister and ask everyone not to make random guesses? It is entirely because of respecting Si Lao's wishes that he decided to protect him silently."

"Hey, even if His Majesty the King of Chu owns the whole world, so what? He still can't own the person he loves... too cruel tat"

"I don't think that Mr. Si has no feelings for the King of Chu. Look at the videos of Mr. Si interacting with others. He is dull and expressionless, even a little cold. But when he meets His Majesty the King of Chu, he smiles from time to time, and his emotions are very open, which seems particularly real! Not to mention that after the King of Chu left, Mr. Si left right after him. It is impossible to say that Mr. Si doesn't have the King of Chu in his heart!"

"...It is said that they have feelings for each other, but why are they not together? Can you explain it to us?"

"If this can be explained, we wouldn't have argued about this topic over and over again for hundreds of years."

"Oh...it's such a pity that they are not together. If Mr. Si had a little bit of intention in this regard and took a little more initiative, the result might be different. "

"By the way, do you think Mr. Si is a time traveler from the future?"

"Again? I always see people like you every year."

"Please, even if we were teleported to the time when Mr. Si was still alive more than 300 years ago, we could only do some fireworks... in the end we still have to cling to Mr. Si's thighs."

"Mr. Si's wisdom makes me feel that he is not a time traveler... he is really just simply amazing. How can a time traveler understand so many things?"

"Some people once speculated whether Mr. Si traveled through time with an intelligent AI that recorded all human knowledge and civilization, but if you look at the videos preserved in history, when Mr. Si communicated with those scientists, cultural scholars, and music masters, it didn't look like he was querying a system at all. He really integrated the knowledge into his brain and mastered it thoroughly!"

"Yeah, even if we can recite the formula, can we calculate the position of every planet in the galaxy based on the formula? Impossible... Knowing and practicing are two completely different things. I can't cook a good dish even if you give me a recipe."

"And do you think that Mr. Si in the TV series is already very powerful? Not at all! Due to length limitations, the TV series cannot cover everything. It only shows that Mr. Si is good at scientific research, his strength on the battlefield, and his assistance to the King of Chu to unify the world. In fact, Mr. Si is really an all-rounder! ! As long as it is an industry you can imagine, there is no industry that Mr. Si is not good at! A promotional video he casually edited in the past has become a classic work that is repeatedly mentioned in the industry!! There is absolutely no weakness in Mr. Si!"

"Yes, look at Mr. Si's calligraphy, paintings and so on, anyone who knows a little about it can be fascinated by them. And those ancient poems, it's really... Every time I recite them, I can't help but sigh how can there be such a monster in the world! He is too good at writing!"

"What I like most is the music played by Mr. Si, it is absolutely the sound of nature. After a rough calculation, just from the video records circulating on the market, Mr. Si has mastered at least sixteen musical instruments, and all of them have reached the performance level! Sixteen kinds!! " "

And Mr. Si is also a peace-loving person. Our technological level has developed so fast, but our weapons have been stagnant. The reason is that after helping His Majesty the King of Chu to unify the world, Mr. Si has not developed any weapons again. The electromagnetic guns and electromagnetic cannons used in the army now are, after all, just improvements based on the guns and shells that Mr. Si originally made. It is conceivable that if there were not so many scientific research notes left by Mr. Si, the development of our scientific and technological civilization in the past few hundred years would probably be the same as these guns and cannons. There would be progress, but it would definitely not have progressed to the current level."

"Even if Mr. Si has passed away for three hundred years, he has been guiding us forward. (Tears)" "

Yes, it is said that in ancient times hundreds of years ago, human civilization was generally cruel, the class system was particularly obvious, and men and women were not even equal! The father of our King Chu was famous for his diligence and kindness, but even he, after conquering other countries, would regard that country as a foreign country, and the people of that country would be reduced to inferior people or even enslaved! Even our Chu State is like this, and other countries are even more exaggerated. Except for the noble class, everyone else is an ant!

"But after His Majesty the King of Chu unified our ancestors' country, he did not treat us as slaves, and even gave us equal rights. Otherwise, it would be impossible for us to be so peaceful on Chuxing now, and we might not be able to accept each other sincerely because of skin color, eye color and other reasons!"

"Are there barriers because of skin color and hair color? How is that possible? You really want to think about it."

"But history has proven this, and scholars have speculated this way."

"Some scholars have speculated that in serious cases, there may be mutual hostility and even war."

"...I don't understand at all, don't we get along well?"

"So, we have to be thankful that at that time, it was our Mr. Si and His Majesty the King of Chu who stood at the historical node. If it was anyone else, I'm afraid we wouldn't have the unity we have today."

"Hey, another day to thank Mr. Si."

"I really hope I can travel back in time and meet him..."

"Then you might as well take Mr. Si to the future. Who knows, there may be some way to prolong life in the future, so that our human civilization can take off directly."

"Then it may not be enough to bring Mr. Si alone. We have to take our King of Chu with us as well."

"Hahaha, really."

"So we're back to the topic again. Is there really nothing between Mr. Si and His Majesty the King of Chu?"

"Don't worry about it. This problem may really become an eternal mystery in human history."

The author has something to say: -

A small theater in a non-existent parallel world:

In modern society, Zhao Er was lying on the sofa watching TV boredly. She found that no matter which channel she changed, she could see handsome young men playing Si Qi of different ages and periods in different dramas, and there was always a handsome young man of similar age by his side.

All the popular TV series of the year are most likely related to the stories of that era, which is very annoying to Zhao Er. It's

strange to say, I don't know why, she seems to have felt uncomfortable with Si Qi's existence since she was born, as if she had a grudge against him in her previous life.

But in elementary school, middle school, high school, college, and even when she entered society, she would hear Si Qi's name from different people and different media, and even see Si Qi when she turned on the TV at home!

Zhao Er was almost going crazy. From then on, he stopped watching TV, liking or chasing stars, and even didn't want to study the history of that era.

As for the Fourth Prince, who is he? The villain in the TV series? From the same era as Si Qi's family?

Ha, I don't want to know at all.

...

Yes, even if the world line is changed, the King of Chu still can't escape the fate of being adapted into a TV series by future generations.

But this time the cp is not Si Peihuan, but Si Qi hahahaha.

The next chapter will talk about the main line~Talk about Chu Feng's affairs.
