Chapter 56 Who is Ah Shan?
Jian Yunsang closed his eyes and said, "No wonder Chao Chao has never seen tomatoes and sweet potatoes. These two foods were indeed introduced to China during the Ming Dynasty."
Emperor Jingxuan’s eyes suddenly widened. Ming Dynasty?
He looked solemn and spoke in a low voice, "Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, there is no Ming Dynasty now, that is the dynasty after Daqi."
The ministers swallowed and stared at the sky.
"Yes, we haven't heard of it before, it should be later..." The official who was speaking stopped talking.
After all, there was the Ming Dynasty that came later, which shows that their Daqi had already perished.
Although everyone knows that no dynasty can last forever, it is not a good idea to say this out loud.
Emperor Jingxuan didn't care about these things. He stared at Jian Yunsang on the sky curtain and said, "Go on, keep talking. Where did the sweet potato with a yield of 10,000 catties per mu come from during the Ming Dynasty?"
He was extremely anxious and didn't dare to miss any expression of the people on the sky.
They originally thought that Tianmu was in a different world that they didn't know about, and that the grain yielding thousands of catties per mu was unique to them. If Daqi wanted to get it, he could only find a way to go to that different world.
Now Tianmu told them that this thing existed in the Ming Dynasty. If the food existed in the "ancient times" of the Ming Dynasty, they must have it in Daqi. But they don't know where it came from, right?
Not only Emperor Jingxuan, but everyone else present, even the other officials who were rushing to the palace at this moment, were paying close attention to Tianmu, especially the people from the Sinong Temple, who wanted to rush into Tianmu and pry open Jian Yunsang's mouth to ask her to say more.
However, Jian Yunsang just muttered a few words and did not continue talking about sweet potatoes and tomatoes.
She smiled bitterly and looked at He Nanzhou. "I originally wanted to find Shangliu Village and the three members of the Hu family and send all these human traffickers to jail, but now..."
He Nanzhou tightened his lips, "Now that I think about it, when Chao Chao disappeared in the woods, it was also very sudden."
It disappeared inexplicably. There were so many people chasing it at the time. Even if a wild boar rushed out and it missed its target for a moment, it would not have completely disappeared. It's not like it can teleport.
But the person just disappeared, and this was what puzzled everyone.
Later, rumors spread that Chaochao was taken away by a wolf or some ferocious beast. Otherwise, how could one explain her sudden disappearance?
It turns out that I had traveled through time.
For a moment, the two of them didn't know what to say.
Song Zhen asked again, "Then how did Chao Chao come back? Going through was an accident, so coming back..."
Jian Yunsang and He Nanzhou looked at each other and said in unison, "Ashan!!"
Yes, Chaochao said that it was Ashan who sent her back.
Jian Yunsang asked anxiously, "Chao Chao, who is this Ah Shan? What does he look like?"
Emperor Jingxuan was also curious about this. He had of course heard of Ashan's name. He even thought that Ashan was still in their Daqi, near Shangliu Village, so he asked Liang Wei to look for him there.
Now that Emperor Jingxuan knew that Chaochao and the others were from the future, then Ah Shan, who was able to send Chaochao home, must be a hermit or a high monk. At the very least, he could tell that Chaochao was not from this era, so he must be an extraordinary person if he had the ability to do so.
As for whether he is an immortal...Emperor Jingxuan thinks it is unlikely.
If she was an immortal, why did she ask Chao Chao to save people in the middle of the night, and why did she pretend to be a ghost and say some specious words? If he wanted to do something, he could just wave his hand, why did he have to go through so much trouble and almost make people believe that she was an immortal.
This is very suspicious.
Not to mention, if he really wanted to help Chao Chao, why didn't he even give her a warm piece of clothing after sending her back? If he was an immortal, it should be easy to get some clothes.
Therefore, Emperor Jingxuan is now also very curious about Ah Shan.
Chao Chao was still a little disappointed when talking about Ah Shan. "I didn't know what he looked like. He said that if I wanted to go home, I had to do more good deeds and accumulate energy. I was just a little short of coming back. He told me that Sister Lin Lan's sister was going to be abandoned and asked me to save her. After I saved her, Ah Shan sent me back."
Jian Yunsang and Song Zhen stood up suddenly, and their faces changed abruptly when they heard the word "energy".
Even He Nanzhou's expression became serious.
Great Qi Dynasty.
Emperor Jingxuan clearly noticed that the three adults' faces changed. He knew that they must have heard some message from this sentence.
But he didn't quite understand what kind of words made them look like that.
He thought carefully about Chao Chao's words: do more good deeds and accumulate energy?
"Yes, it is to accumulate energy, but what does it mean?" Several ministers below were also thinking about it.
The Grand Master guessed, "Only by doing more good deeds can we accumulate energy. Is this what you mean by merit?"
"I guess so."
Emperor Jingxuan was still thinking, "If it's just about merit, why do the expressions of the three of them look wrong?"
Everyone was also puzzled.
They could only continue to wait for Tianmu to answer their questions.
However, before Jian Yunsang and the others could say anything, Yuanyuan came over with a teacup, and behind him, Zhao Ma was helping to hold the tray.
He Nanzhou immediately whispered to Chao Chao, "In the future, don't mention anyone or anything about Shangliu Village in front of others, and don't tell others about our conversation just now, understand?"
Although Chao Chao was confused, he still nodded.
Seeing Yuanyuan and the other two approaching, Jian Yunsang and the other two tacitly stopped talking. Seeing Yuanyuan put down the teacup, He Nanzhou said to Chaochao, "Okay, go play with your brother Yuanyuan."
Chao Chao nodded and was led away by Yuan Yuan. Before leaving, the boy hummed and muttered a few words, "I knew that you must have whispered with your back to me just now, as if I wanted to hear it. I'm not such a gossipy person."
That being said, after walking two steps with Chao Chao, he immediately lowered his voice and asked, "Sister, what did you talk about just now?"
Chao Chao had just been explained, so naturally she wouldn't say anything. She just didn't understand a lot of things, but she wasn't stupid.
Seeing that Yuanyuan was about to ask more questions, he quickly changed the subject and said, "Don't you want to dismantle my car? Can you really do it? Can you put it back together after dismantling it?"
Obviously, dismantling the car is more important than finding out what they say.
He immediately patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, I guarantee that everything will be safe after it's put back."
The two figures were walking farther and farther away, and Emperor Jingxuan almost stretched out his hand to Erkang, saying, "Don't go. If you leave now, how can they listen to Jian Yunsang and the others?"
However, no one heard his inner cry, but Emperor Jingxuan actually vaguely heard a word said by Jian Yunsang and others behind him.
"Is what Chao Chao is talking about the system?"
