Chapter 134 Xiaoyue
"So, you've been here for twenty years?"
Putting aside the protests about seniority, Yi Xiaochuan, feeling he had gotten closer to Xiang Shaolong, inquired about his experiences. Then, after Xiang Shaolong's expressive and dramatic recounting, Yi Xiaochuan was dumbfounded.
"Of course, I'm one of those who fought alongside His Majesty to conquer the world," Xiang Shaolong said with exceptional pride.
“You…but…” Yi Xiaochuan hesitated.
Gao Yao clearly understood what he meant and asked curiously, "Do you still think that history cannot be changed?"
Gao Ge was smart and understood his thoughts. Yi Xiaochuan didn't see anything wrong with it. He explained, "I'm just worried that if history really changes, and we still exist in the modern world, can we go back?"
At this time, Yi Xiaochuan still really wanted to return to the modern world.
Xiang Shaolong patted him on the shoulder, "I don't know if we can go back, but don't worry about the existence of such things. I came twenty years earlier, and a lot of things have changed. Nothing happened when you were in the modern era. The topic of time and space is too mysterious. Don't worry about it, worrying won't help."
The words may be rough, but the meaning is sound. A great weight was lifted from Yi Xiaochuan's heart. Thinking of history, he thought of Liu Ji, and felt rather guilty and ashamed. "That Liu Ji... when he came to Xianyang, wasn't he just like a lamb entering a tiger's den?"
"Haha, it's the same even if he doesn't come to Xianyang. Xiao Chuan, I've been here for twenty years, do you think I would just leave him alone?"
Yi Xiaochuan was taken aback. "You mean?"
Xiang Shaolong explained frankly, "Actually, we knew about it the first day you arrived in Pei County."
"So, Pei County is full of spies?"
Yi Xiaochuan asked with difficulty, and seeing Xiang Shaolong nod, he couldn't help but look at Gao Yao with a wronged expression: "So, Brother Gao, you knew where I was all along, why didn't you come looking for me?"
Gao Yao smiled innocently, "I saw you drinking and eating with Liu Ji and his group every day, and you seemed to be having a good time, so I didn't bother you."
"What I did was..." Yi Xiaochuan was a little embarrassed to say it. He was just investing in advance, trying to get on the good side. Of course, he now knew very well that with the support of a senior transmigrator and the strong assistance of Brother Gao, Liu Ji would definitely not become emperor.
"Besides, you're not stupid. You'll figure out the problem soon enough. Knowing you as I do, you'll definitely come to Xianyang to find me, so I've been waiting for you."
Gao Yao spoke so casually that Yi Xiaochuan couldn't help but nod, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his face. Not being stupid is the same as being smart; Brother Gao knows him well, and Brother Gao even says he's smart. Yes, yes, that's exactly what he's doing.
“That makes sense, Brother Gao, you understand me.”
Xiang Shaolong, watching from the sidelines, shook his head speechlessly as he saw Yi Xiaochuan's face light up with joy. What a silly boy, so easily fooled. No wonder Yu'er didn't even notice him when she used him as an "enemy detection radar."
"So, Brother Gao, what do we do next? Are we going to arrest Liu Ji?"
This time, Xiang Shaolong was dumbfounded: "Your stance changed really quickly."
Yi Xiaochuan replied briskly, "That's called being a wise man when you know when to yield. Besides, I only followed Liu Ji back then because I wanted to curry favor with him. Now that there's such a golden opportunity right in front of me, why would I still look for him?"
Yi Xiaochuan gave Gao Yao a fawning smile and continued, "Besides, I'm not stupid. I can tell exactly what Liu Ji's attitude towards me is."
He simply ignored it at the time because he wanted to curry favor with someone powerful.
Xiang Shaolong exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't expect that! You're not stupid at all!"
Yi Xiaochuan rolled his eyes. "Who are you underestimating? You think being a playboy is so easy?"
"Hmm?" Gao Yao asked in disbelief.
Yi Xiaochuan finally realized that Gao Yao was still his nominal "brother-in-law," and quickly smiled ingratiatingly, "Brother Gao, that's not what I meant. Gao Lan and I aren't like that. We were just playing around... no, what I meant was, she was mainly playing me..."
"Pfft, hahaha..." Xiang Shaolong couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Ignoring him, Yi Xiaochuan moved closer to Gao Yao and continued to beg for mercy: "Brother, don't you know what kind of person your sister is? I'm the King of the Sea, and she's the Queen of the Sea... I'm not saying she's bad... it's just that I'm bad. Anyway, we can't go back, so how about I give my brother to her? My brother is honest, he definitely can't bully Gao Lan... Brother, don't be angry..."
"Knock knock"
"My lord, the meal is ready."
The woman in the light gray ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) smiled and respectfully offered her reminder.
Yi Xiaochuan turned around and saw a familiar face. He immediately jumped up guiltily, "Gao Lan! You transmigrated here too? I didn't say anything bad about you! Don't hit me! Don't hit my face!"
Seeing Yi Xiaochuan's cowardly appearance, Xiang Shaolong burst into laughter.
The woman at the door, puzzled, gently explained, "Young master, you have mistaken me for someone else. This servant is Xiaoyue."
Gao Yao pulled Yi Xiaochuan, who was jumping up and down, back down. "Stop fooling around. It's not Xiao Lan, it's Xiao Yue. They just look alike."
Fearing a beating, Yi Xiaochuan lowered his arm to cover himself and looked at Xiaoyue. “They really look alike, but their temperaments are completely different. Gao Lan is a motherly figure… a heroine among women, a true heroine among women.”
Yi Xiaochuan tried his best to change his tune, giving Gao Yao a fawning smile.
"I'll let you off this time, eat your food."
"Okay, thanks, Brother Gao—" Yi Xiaochuan breathed a sigh of relief, instantly perked up, and started calling Gao "Brother Gao" all the time.
...
Silence, an extremely awkward silence.
Gao Lan was feeling extremely uneasy and uncomfortable. If Yi Xiaochuan were here, she would definitely beat his head to a pulp!
Yi Dachuan was not to be outdone. Ever since Yi Xiaochuan said he would give him to Gao Lan, Yi Dachuan didn't dare to look at Gao Lan. He was restless and his face turned red.
The others in the meeting room exchanged glances and silently moved past the topic.
"Check Xiang Shaolong's information. He traveled through twenty years. Judging from his account, he should be from Hong Kong."
Yes, it wasn't until today, when the expert team saw the three of them gathered together, that they were surprised to discover that there was actually another time traveler, and that he had already traveled back twenty years!
"Ding-dong!"
The computer beeped, and the person in charge clicked on it, raised an eyebrow in surprise, and projected the content onto the big screen: "The newly unearthed cloth portrait has been successfully restored. Everyone can take a look."
"Gao Lan?!"
Upon seeing that familiar face, Yi Dachuan, who was already thinking of her, lost his composure and cried out.
Gao Lan looked at the woman on the canvas, dressed in a ruqun (a traditional Chinese dress), with the same face as her and a gentle demeanor, and shook her head with difficulty. "No, it's Xiaoyue."
