Chapter 272 Isn’t this just asking too much?
Almost everyone was shocked. This was such a wonderful thing, and many people were eager to have it. Why were there still people who kept refusing?
The prince's tone was bad.
"Master Zhou, Princess Jinghong is the Holy Maiden of our dynasty. She said that you are very important to her. This is related to the war with the Giant Elephant Kingdom next year, and it is related to the life and death of our Great Yu! Don't be ungrateful!"
After hearing this, everyone became alert, and it turned out that there was this reason behind it.
However, this sounds a bit weird and out of tune. It's just a marriage, but why is it so involved?
Zhou Lang said woodenly:
"Your Highness, is this absurd reason credible? I didn't even know I had such a great ability. How can a mere mortal like Zhou Lang influence the life and death of the Great Yu Kingdom?"
If this wasn't the imperial court, he would have turned hostile. Wouldn't this be further alienating the relationship between him and his wife?
Prince Gong interrupted:
"Master Zhou, it doesn't matter if you don't know. It's enough for the Saint to know! Young man, you should be grateful and not be ungrateful. For such an important matter, you should put the overall situation first. How can you act recklessly for your own selfish reasons?"
Lin Shiqi took over the conversation.
"What do you mean by willful and reckless? My husband doesn't want to, so what? As for the survival of the Great Yu Kingdom, it's just the Saint's one-sided statement. Who knows whether it's true or not? According to my calculations, she just fell in love with my husband's looks and abused her power for personal gain!"
Zhou Lang's appearance is still very good, especially his temperament, which is much better than all the civil and military officials. No one else can compare to this kind of quality.
After hearing this, everyone didn't know how to criticize it, as both sides seemed to have their reasons.
A forced marriage is not sweet. If someone really doesn't want to, why force them to do it? Besides, even if Zhou Lang is very important to the overall situation, he doesn't necessarily have to marry her, right?
Prince Gong sneered.
"You can calculate? Can you compare with the Saint in this respect? You don't know the importance of the matter and are making a fool of yourself!"
Lin Shiqi also sneered,
"You're right, I'm really good at calculating! She, the saint, is just abusing her power for personal gain."
At this moment, a figure appeared behind the prince and said:
"What nonsense are you talking about? I know from my divine intuition that Zhou Lang is the best person to help Dayu out of this crisis. I am doing this for the sake of all the people of Dayu. Do you think I have nothing better to do than to interfere in your affairs?"
Lin Shiqi looked carefully and found that it was Princess Jinghong, but it turned out that she was hiding behind the prince.
Seeing him appear, she calmed down.
"Then can you tell me how Zhou Lang helped you out of danger?"
When asked this question, Princess Jinghong showed a hint of unnaturalness on her face.
What Lin Shiqi said was not entirely wrong, she did have selfish motives.
A few years ago, the national teacher took great pains and finally made preparations, and held a grand and special ceremony for her.
She lay on the altar, half asleep, her thoughts drifting freely in the endless darkness. She didn't know how long it had been going on. It felt like several years. It seemed like she had been wandering aimlessly all the time. Even her energy was almost exhausted, but she couldn't stop. In the end, she thought it was just a long, boring dream.
But suddenly, she found herself in a strange place. A large amount of incredible knowledge poured into her mind, like a flood that made her dizzy and unable to remember it all. In the end, she realized a fact: she had become a popular star in this strange world!
After the nervousness subsided, she finally remembered that she became like this because of the national teacher's ceremony.
She also remembered her mission, which was to find an opportunity to save the Kingdom of Yu from danger.
Opportunity is something that naturally depends on fate and cannot be forced.
Now that she has come to this world, she will search carefully.
Just at this time, because of business reasons, an important person appeared in her sight, that is Zhou Lang, the president of a certain group.
This is the big boss and financial backer of some company, and he must be treated as a top priority.
As a popular star, she soon met Zhou Lang and was impressed by his demeanor.
She also realized that the strength of this world lies in its extremely terrifying thermal weapons. If she could obtain such things, why would she have to worry about the invasion of the Giant Elephant Kingdom?
However, the Imperial Master had told her before that she couldn't travel back with the real objects.
Then I can only use my brain and bring back the technology.
But how could she learn so much strange and profound knowledge? This is just asking too much!
The Imperial Master also said that if she fell asleep without realizing it three times, it would mean that the spiritual power of the formation was insufficient and she needed to prepare to return in time, otherwise her soul would be scattered.
This period of time is not that long. When she first came to this world, she experienced an unconscious sleep!
Time is running out.
After thinking it over, she found only one solution, which was to bring Zhou Lang into her world as well!
Of course, Zhou Lang is a living person, and she can’t get him there. There is no other way but to kill him. Then his soul can return to Dayu with her.
She tried every possible way and finally found an opportunity at a charity event. She was a star and needed to perform there, so she used her star status to create an accident and crushed Zhou Lang to death.
Then she quickly lay down on the spot, silently repeating the word "return" in her mind.
The Imperial Master did not lie to her, she returned to normal, but she didn't know whether Zhou Lang had successfully traveled through time.
And now with the appearance of Zhou Lang, everything has become normal and smooth.
Of course, there is no necessary connection between saving Dayu from danger and marrying Zhou Lang, but she has already witnessed Zhou Lang's ability and style, so how could she look down on these natives of Dayu, so she made such a request.
These are not something that can be told to outsiders.
Anyway, she is a saint, and whatever she says is what it is.
"Zhou Lang will play an unparalleled role in the impending catastrophe of Dayu! It is enough for you to know this. As for the rest, I have nothing to say to you."
Princess Jinghong shows her strong side.
Zhou Lang spoke up. If he didn’t help his wife at this time, it would be disastrous.
"Lin Shiqi is my wife. You, a latecomer, want to interfere and don't want to explain clearly. Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you are a saint? Just relying on you, you can solve the catastrophe of Dayu Kingdom. I doubt the truth of this matter."
Princess Jinghong said anxiously:
"I've already said that I need your help to accomplish this great task. This is the guidance I received from the unknown. It's a matter of great importance, how can I talk nonsense!"
Lin Shiqi snorted.
"After talking for so long, you just don't want to speak out. It's obvious that you have something to hide!"
…
Outside the palace, Zhou Qinan stood at the foot of a long staircase, feeling extremely nervous and anxious.
After being reborn, he didn't expect that his life would be even worse than his previous one.
