Chapter 560 The Sky Curtain - Acquaintances
"Become a disciple?! Fusu, if you become my brother's disciple, then I'll become your senior uncle?"
"You?"
"Xiang Shaolong, what do you mean?"
"It means I can be your senior uncle, but you can't."
Why can't I?
"I'm in charge of the Black Ice Control Station, what are you in charge of?"
"I'll take care of...I'll take care of the meals at the Imperial Preceptor's residence!"
"..." Yi Xiaochuan and Xiang Shaolong chattered noisily, while Xiang Yu sighed and tried to explain to Fusu, "At least Uncle is still reliable."
"Good apprentice, run an errand for your master. I'm craving some osmanthus cake from West Street."
On the second floor of the Star-Picking Pavilion, Gao Yao leaned against the window, lazily waving at Fusu.
Xiang Yu: "When it comes to teaching, my uncle is reliable."
The people under the sky were hard to describe. Although they had long since realized that the Imperial Preceptor was not some otherworldly being, this was still a bit too... down-to-earth.
Even Li Si couldn't help but compare them. Although in terms of ability, he might be miles behind Gao Yao, at least in terms of his attitude as a teacher, wasn't he at least a little more proper?
Why do I feel inexplicably proud?
"Come on, I'll go with you." Unable to win an argument with Xiang Shaolong, and unable to match him in a physical fight, Yi Xiaochuan put his arm around Fusu's shoulder, preparing for a tactical retreat.
Fusu did not refuse and followed him out, where they encountered "acquaintances" along the way.
"Hey, Brother Liu, Brother Xiao, when did you return to Xianyang?"
When Yi Xiaochuan saw Liu Ji and Xiao He, he excitedly pulled Fusu over to greet them.
"Nephew, let me introduce you. These are my good buddies, Liu Ji and Xiao He from Pei County. Brother Liu, Brother Xiao, this is my brother's apprentice, Fusu."
The news of the otherworldly Prince Fusu was no secret among the court officials, and Liu Ji and Xiao He were naturally aware of it. They exchanged polite greetings and walked together for a while.
At this moment, Pei County was unusually quiet, with no one bothering the cats or dogs. Instead, Liu Ji, a young man watching the celestial canopy with a group of brothers, couldn't help but touch his face as he looked at the familiar figures on the canopy.
"Is that another version of me? And Xiao He?"
Xiao He exchanged a slightly surprised glance with Liu Ji. At this moment, Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo, and the others nearby joined in the commotion.
"Wow, you guys have become high-ranking officials! I wonder if we'll get a share."
"If I do well, will I forget you all? Don't worry, don't worry," Liu Ji assured, patting his chest.
Cao Can looked at Xiao He thoughtfully and said, "What do you think, how about we go to Xianyang?"
Xiao He turned to meet his gaze. In the young man's eyes burned ambition and anticipation. Perhaps the appearance of the sky would be the biggest turning point in their lives.
“That makes sense!” Upon hearing Cao Can’s words, Liu Ji was the first to respond. “Our faces are even visible in the sky. We must go to Xianyang, to Xianyang, for such a good opportunity.”
Fan Kuai scratched his head: "We're all going?"
"Go, all of you!" Liu Ji shouted, his eyes gleaming with a unique light. "I see the winds of change are blowing, it's time to ride the wave!"
"Oh, what a coincidence, Sister Lü, you're in Xianyang too?" Not long after walking forward, Yi Xiaochuan saw another familiar face.
Lü Zhi turned around and smiled gently: "Xiao Chuan's mouth is still so sweet."
"Fusu, let me introduce you. This is Lü Zhi, the First Female Prime Minister of Qin. You also know her sister, Lü Su, who is Mr. Cui's sister."
At this moment, in the Lü residence, Lü Shuping, who was holding his eldest daughter and looking at the sky, was somewhat stunned. He glanced at the heroic woman on the sky, then at the bewildered little girl in his arms, "Zhi'er?"
The First Female Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty—was he truly fortunate?
Lu Shuping gasped excitedly and immediately ordered, "Go to Xianyang, quickly, go to Xianyang!"
Everyone understood the value of appearing in the sky, so the Lü family made the same choice.
"Huh? Zhang Liang?" Looking at the excited Yi Xiaochuan, Fusu couldn't help but exclaim, "You seem to know quite a lot of people."
"Hey, it's all a coincidence. Who would have thought everyone would return to Xianyang?"
Yi Xiaochuan didn't seem to notice and pulled Fusu forward to greet him again. Fusu, looking at the somewhat familiar face, couldn't help but murmur, "Is it really just a coincidence?"
At this moment, in the Prime Minister's residence in South Korea, Zhang Ping looked at his young son Zhang Liang with a somewhat complicated expression.
"Father."
Although Zhang Liang, who was seven or eight years old, was intelligent, he was still young and could not hide his emotions. He was somewhat flustered, "How could my son be an official in Qin?"
Although he had long known from the heavens that Qin had unified the world, how could he, as a nobleman of Han, be willing to serve as an official in Qin?
Zhang Ping patted his head, "That's not important, what's important is..."
Meeting his son's bewildered gaze, Zhang Ping didn't know what to say. The crucial question was: now that they were appearing on the celestial screen, how should their family position themselves? And how would the king treat them?
"Prime Minister, Young Master Han Fei has arrived..."
"My name is Zhang Liang. Young master, you seem to know me?" Zhang Liang looked at Fusu gently and asked the question directly.
Fusu nodded, his expression somewhat complicated, and looked at Yi Xiaochuan, "You know, I'm eighteen."
"Huh? Ah!"
Yi Xiaochuan was confused for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Xiao Han... no, Han is gone."
Fu Su's eyes revealed a knowing look: "So, you do know someone from Qin, don't you?"
Yi Xiaochuan's expression instantly crumbled, and he couldn't help but cover his face and wail, "I just don't like talking to smart people like you."
Zhang Liang watched the spectacle with a smile, and after he had had his fill of Yi Xiaochuan's embarrassment, he turned to Fusu: "So, Young Master Fusu, would you be willing to introduce me to the Qin state you belong to?"
Fusu raised his eyes and met his gaze quietly. "What do you want to hear? The order in which Qin conquered the various states?"
Zhang Liang grunted in response, then couldn't help but ask, "Or is it Han Shi?"
Fusu nodded and stated bluntly, "The state of Korea has repeatedly ceded territory to sue for peace, and is already a mere shell of its former self."
"..." At this moment, Han Fei, Zhang Ping and his son Zhang Liang, who had just gathered together, King Heng Hui in the palace, and the officials and people of Han all fell silent.
No wonder the wooden plaque Fusu was holding only bore the name of the Great Qin; it turns out the Han dynasty was long gone.
A lame joke: The world is destroyed, but South Korea will perish before the world ends.
After a brief moment of joy, the Qin officials in Xianyang Palace were filled with even more doubts.
"What is the other Qin?"
"Is this the world Yi Xiaochuan comes from?"
Meng Yi couldn't help but speculate.
In everyone's eyes, Yi Xiaochuan was a very "transparent" person, with a lot of things about him exposed. Especially after hearing him talk about his relationship with the missing "Meng Yi" in that world, everyone's speculations grew even more.
Seeing how the eldest son had so easily uncovered so many clues about Yi Xiaochuan with just a light probe, they couldn't help but wonder if there was a third Qin world that developed differently.
What would be different about the Qin dynasty in that world?
