Chapter 674 There is a fairy island overseas!
"My master sent people to incite King Li, but I didn't expect that my master miscalculated." Xu Qingshan's words were filled with the confidence of someone who could make things happen with a wave of his hand. It was as if he was two different people from the people outside who were kneeling obediently to the emperor.
"I was young and hot-headed at that time, and my plans were not that far-reaching, so Zhou Chengqian took advantage of me."
Shen Lanxi: "Unfortunately, Zhou Chengqian is not a wise ruler either, so you found another opportunity."
Xu Qingshan: "This is my famous saying. When there is chaos, I will only assist the wise leader."
Shen Lanxi: "So you have to find ways to make the world chaotic."
Xu Qingshan: "This is the court. It is normal to use some tricky means."
Shen Lanxi: "I like two sentences very much. One is, I would rather the medicine on the shelf be covered with dust than there be no sick people in the world."
"There is another saying: I would rather my sword rust than there be no war in the world!"
There was finally a slight crack on Xu Qingshan's mature and steady face.
"At that time, Master did not understand those principles. However, facts have proved that Master was right. Without Master's initial planning, there would not be the situation today. Compared with today, even if the incompetent emperors lingered on for three generations, they would not be half as good as they are now."
Shen Lanxi could only smile bitterly.
Each of them has their own stance. When they stand on their own stance and do things, have they ever thought about those little people who are caught up in the huge waves they have created?
In the face of the general trend, aren’t the lives of small people still important lives?
Can you become a victim at will?
Xu Qingshan looked at the bitter smile of the empress in front of him and sighed deeply.
When I came here, I was full of joy to see my disciple, but I didn't expect that after meeting, I would be in the current situation.
He had already noticed it while he was bowing.
The relationship between master and disciple disappeared.
"Your Majesty, do you have anything else to ask?" He admitted that he once had plans against his apprentice, but he had never thought of hurting this apprentice.
Shen Lanxi said coldly: "What's going on with the Ten Thousand Poison Sect and Medicine King Valley?"
Xu Qingshan was stunned for a moment, then said with relief: "You should ask."
"The Ten Thousand Poison Sect and Medicine King Valley were originally separated from Ghost Valley. You may not know that Medicine King Valley has a connection with our Ghost Valley. Now, I will tell you that the Ten Thousand Poison Sect also has a connection with Ghost Valley."
She understood it all.
No wonder the Wan Du Sect and Yao Wang Valley were interspersed in it yet they were able to remain perfectly invisible.
I'm afraid no one else in the world can do it except Guiguzi.
"One last question. I hope Master won't be angry about hiding it from me."
"You ask."
Shen Lanxi: "When I married Zhou Ruyuan, did Guigu know about it?"
Xu Qingshan suddenly fell silent.
This silence gave her the answer.
"Disciple understands." She stood up.
"I once regarded Guigu as my backer and the confidence to realize my ambitions, but I didn't expect that in the end, I would be stabbed in the back by Guigu."
Xu Qingshan's face finally showed some panic.
"No, at that time, it was the best choice for you. Your master wanted to protect you."
Shen Lanxi couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.
Protect her?
Could it be that she was poisoned to death by accident in order to protect him?
"Even if Master wanted to save his disciple, compared with Zhou Ruyuan at that time, Master still chose Zhou Ruyuan."
She is just a female disciple, how can she compare to the wise ruler chosen by her master?
Seeing his disciple turn around and walk out the door, Xu Qingshan wanted to explain something, but he opened his mouth several times and gave up each time.
No matter how much you explain it, it's useless.
His disciple is not a foolish emperor.
"There is a fairy island overseas. It is said that there are fairies living on the island. Master, take your people on a boat to ask for medicine for your disciple!"
After Shen Lanxi finished speaking, she strode out of the yard.
The Guigu people outside looked at the direction she left, and then looked inside the house.
Why did you come out after just a short while?
"You two go follow His Majesty, we'll go in and see the Master."
Yinzi and Fengwu were sent to follow Shen Lanxi, and the rest of the people rushed into the yard.
…
Three days later, an imperial edict was transported by water from the south to the capital.
"Your Majesty passed by Guigu and had a pleasant conversation with the descendant of Guigu. The descendant of Guigu volunteered to go to the West and visit the western border for Your Majesty."
Before the people in the capital could digest this news, another imperial edict was sent to the capital.
"The descendants of Guigu are willing to allocate half of their manpower to cross the ocean to the east, but they are short of manpower now, so we are recruiting people from the entire Aolai country to cross the ocean to the east. The main purpose of crossing the east and west is to trade with overseas countries, and the second is to establish diplomatic relations with overseas countries. It is of great significance. Please sign up as soon as possible!"
Once the news was released, it quickly triggered a wave of registrations.
The capital city, which had been deserted due to His Majesty's southern tour, suddenly became as lively as oil boiling on a raging fire.
The official ship finally arrived at the end of the river, the city of Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.
"Your Majesty, I, Liu Baodai, kowtow to you. Long live your Majesty!"
In addition to Liu Baodai, she also saw a person who was supposed to be stationed in the northwest.
"Yan Qiulian!"
"I, Yan Qiulian, pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"
Shen Lanxi then remembered a memorial she had approved half a year ago.
She gave up the position of garrison commander to her younger brother Yan Qiuling, saying that she was going to go on a business trip.
"You came here with the caravan?"
Yan Qiuling's eyes lit up and she smiled, "I didn't expect that Your Majesty would still remember the memorial I wrote to you despite your busy schedule."
Shen Lanxi's eyes moved between her and Liu Baodai.
"You two know each other?"
Liu Baodai: "Yes, I met General Yan when I was in the army. At that time, General Yan saw me doing business as a woman and asked me a lot of questions about business."
Shen Lanxi was happy to see that Yan Qiuling was not troubled by the past.
"It's already difficult for women to establish themselves. It's not easy for you to take this brave step forward."
Yan Qiuling showed up this time for another reason.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask for permission to sail to the Western Ocean."
Shen Lanxi looked surprised: "Do you know that sailing on the sea is full of dangers?"
Yan Qiuling: "I have used the water route before, transporting silk from Jiangnan to the northwest for sale. I can't say I am very familiar with the water route, but I am not afraid of sailing on the sea."
Shen Lanxi: "Sailing on the sea is different from sailing on rivers and lakes."
Yan Qiuling's eyes were filled with determination: "My younger brother is married, and I already have a nephew and a niece. I don't have any worries anymore."
"I was saved by Your Majesty back then, and I have always wanted to be as brave as Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty is the best in history, and I never expect to surpass him. But I also want to prove that women can do what men can do. And women can do what men cannot do."
Shen Lanxi looked at Yan Qiuling deeply, and crawled out of the mud. Instead of complaining about herself, she was perseverant and found a path she wanted to take.
This is very difficult for women nowadays!
"Okay, I promise you!"
